Wow, it's been eight months since I last replied. I bet a lot of you are like -_-

Haha, sorry for the long wait. I really have no excuse save for a huge writer's block. I am still having some trouble with my story. I'm having to mix a few scenes together because some of it was just going WAY too fast. I mean not even a chapter later, I had them already together. I hope you like this chapter. I'm having to do this redo by myself.

I'm still with Mrpeeples, but he has been unusually busy, so he's not able to help me with the redo to the whole story.

Once Naruto whispers those words, Hinata's eye shoots open. She squeals and jumps to her feet backing away from Naruto. As she takes another step back, she bumps her head against the wall behind her.

"Ow!"

She rubs her head as her cloak falls back, revealing all the bruises on her legs. They were deep purple. Naruto feels a surge of pain in his chest as he gazes at her legs.

How the hell is she still able to walk? If those bruises were purple, he could imagine what she looked like under her armor, because that's where he remembered directing his attacks upon. He had to take a deep breath to calm himself. He hated himself right now, and he couldn't believe that he had done this to her. He felt so guilty about it. Looking down, he whispers, "Hey, Hinata, do you trust me?"

Hinata looks at him fiercely. As her violet eyes gazes into his crystal blue eyes, she could see regret and despair. His face had the most wretched look of pure misery. Her hand drops from the sensitive spot on her head. She tilts her head. Her face is expressionless.

"Yes…I do now…since you are normal."

Naruto looks up at her, surprised and then it was as if the looks of regrets were not even there. A sly grin crosses his face.

"Then remove this suppressor so I can get us the hell out of here" he said, pointing to the chakra suppressor on his forehead. Hinata looks at him, puzzled. She smiles and walks to him. Her fingers grasp his seal and pulls it off. He jumps up and nearly knocks Hinata sideways, but he quickly catches her by picking her up in a bridal style. She blushes immediately and held on tight, ignoring the sharp pains in her body as he jumps out of the hole in the ground. He then puts her down and starts to brush the dust off his shoulders. Hinata immediately brings her hand over her chest as she gazes at him. He turns to her and gives her one of his famous grins.

"Well, that's better. Now take off your shirt." he demanded, turning to her.

Hinata's face goes pale and she grips her shirt. "Um…what?"

"Well, I need to heal your wounds; they haven't been able to heal because my evil self was using Kyubi's chakra to hurt you, and its causing a slow and negative healing effect. So I can, in turn, use the Kyubi's chakra under my influence, which is good chakra now… it will reverse the negative chakra so I can heal you." he explains.

Hinata looks down and says, "I…I don't know, Naruto…"

Naruto walks toward her, "Trust me, this is the only way. Let me help you…please?" He begged as his hands laid on her armor. She shivered. Thoughts of what he had done flashed through her mind. Then she frowns at her weakness and forces herself to stand still. He unstrapped her armor, took it off, and then unbuttoned her shirt.

She shuts her eyes as his hands pull away.

God, I must look hideous to him, she thought. He then place his hands over (NOT ON) her chest. He then frowns down at her wounds in concentration, trying to ignore the swelling pain in his chest. He forces himself to look down at her bruises. His hands start glow blue. Bright blue. The chakra enters Hinata's system, cancelling out the red, sinister chakra already in her. The minute the blue chakra enters her body; Hinata starts to feel much better as if the throbbing was beginning to subside. Then Naruto began to use some low-level healing jutsu on her cuts and bruises, and patched some things. He steps back and then smiles at the work he's done.

"Okay," he says. Hinata immediately buttons her shirt back on. A small blush was on her cheeks, but it was much smaller. She was about to put her armor back on when Naruto shakes his head.

"I think it's best if you don't put that on until you go to Sakura, Hinata-chan. Let her do the rest of the healing. Don't walk around in those bruises." He says. Hinata then nods and lays the armor in her arm. They start to walk out of the temple. They were silent the whole time. Naruto was in deep thought and Hinata did not want to be rude to interrupt him.

As they reach the entrance, Naruto turns to her and smiles at her. "Could I walk you back up to your house? Oh!" He held out the seal compressor. "Could you place this seal back on me?"

She laughs and places it on his forehead. She then walks on and opens the door for him. "Let me guess…my father confronted you."

Naruto gulps and nods. "Yeah…"

She then nods, understanding his discomfort. After a few minutes, Naruto looks at her and then grins.

"Well, what are we waiting for, Hinata-hime? Come on!"

He takes off running, leaving Hinata to stand there and stare after him with a surprised look on her face.

"H-Hinata-hime...?" she says and her face grows red. Then she smiles a little bit and takes off after him.
