Recap of Chapter Thirteen
Some hours later, Naruto having payed for there food, asked.
"Did you enjoy the evening Hinata?"
"It was wonderful, Naruto-kun." said Hinata.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, Hinata." said Naruto.
"If your ready to go, i'll walk you home."
Ok." said Hinata.
"But shouldn't we at least wake, Tsunade-sama?"
Naruto looked over at Tsunade, and saw that she was asleep with about six to eight sake bottles on the table.
"She'll be alright." said Naruto.
Getting to his feet, he held his hand to Hinata. Hinata took Naruto's offered hand, and allowed him to help her up. Leaving the restaurant a few minutes later, Naruto walked Hinata back towards the Hyuga Compound. As they reached the turn that goes towards Naruto's home, Hinata stopped walking, and said.
"Naruto-kun, I will ok on my own from here."
"Are you sure, Hinata?" asked Naruto.
"I don't mind walking you all the way there."
"It's ok Naruto-kun." said Hinata.
"I really did enjoy the evening with you."
"Ok." said Naruto.
"I'll see you tomorrow.", starts walking down the road heading towards his apartment.
Hinata watched Naruto leave, until he was out of sight. She then turned back the way they had come, and headed towards the hospital.
Chapter Fourteen
Arriving at the hospital a short time later, Hinata made her way inside, and up to the front desk.
"Umm, excuse me." said Hinata.
"But I was wondering if Sakura-chan was still here?"
"She is." said the receptionist, looking at Hinata.
"However, she is making her rounds. Your welcome to wait, if you like."
"Thank you." said Hinata, going over to a bench and sitting down.
Some time later, Sakura came out of a room down the hall, and headed towards the front doors. Nearing the doors, she caught sight of Hinata.
"Hello Hinata." said Sakura, once she was close enough.
"Why are you here this late?"
"Hello Skaura." said Hinata.
"I would like to see TenTen. I want to know for certain, if she is sure that it was Neji, who ... well you know."
"Visiting hours are over, Hinata." said Sakura.
"I know Sakura." said Hinata.
"But I don't think Neji-niisan, would do that to TenTen, and I just want to her it from her. So can you please make an exception, just this once?"
Sakura thought about it, for a good little bit.
"Alright Hinata." said Sakura.
"I'll go see if TenTen is still awake, and ask her if she is up to seeing anyone."
"Thank you, Sakura-chan." said Hinata
Sakura left and on reaching a room, went inside. Twenty minutes later, she came back out, and coming back to Hinata, and said.
"TenTen said she is up to seeing you."
"However, before I let you go inside Hinata, I can only give you thirty minutes."
"I understand." said Hinata, getting to her feet, and heading towards the room, Sakura had came out of.
Reaching the room, Hinata knocked on the door, and went inside.
"TenTen-san?" asked Hinata.
"Hello Hinata." said TenTen.
"How are you feeling?" asked Hinata, coming over to the bedside.
"I guess i'm alright." said TenTen.
"I'm sure you know what happened."
"I do." said Hinata.
"And that is the reason, I am here. TenTen, i'm sure you don't want to talk about what happened, but I need to hear it from you, on whither or not, it really was Neji that raped you."
"To tell you the truth Hinata, I am not really certain." said TenTen.
"This person looked exactly like Neji. But the personality, was like someone else."
"Could it have been a transformation?" asked Hinata.
"I don't know." said TenTen.
"As I said, this person looked exactly like Neji, even the chakra signature was the same. The only difference was the way he acted."
"Do you still like Neji, even though this happened?" asked Hinata.
"My mind is telling me no." said TenTen.
"But my heart is telling me, that the real Neji would never have done this, and that I should still love him."
It was at this moment Sakura knocked on the door, and came inside.
"I'm sorry Hinata, but your thirty minutes is up." said Sakura.
"I'll try to come back and see you again during visiting hours, TenTen-san." said Hinata.
"And TenTen, I will do all I can to prove that Neji wasn't the one that did this to you."
"Thanks Hinata." said TenTen. as Hinata turned to leave.
As Hinata left TenTen's room, Sakura followed her out. On reaching the front desk, Hinata said.
"Sakura-chan, thank you for letting me speak to TenTen."
"Your welcome,Hinata." said Sakura.
"Do you need someone to walk you home?"
"No, i'll be alright." said Hinata.
"Good night, Sakura-chan."
"Good night, Hinata." said Sakura, watching as Hinata left the hospital.
Arriving back at the Hyuga Compound, Hinata started towards her room, but changed her mind half way there. Arriving at her chosen destination, Hinata went to a certain section, took down a couple of books, then left, returning to her room. Once in her room, she sat down on her bed, and began to llok through one of the books she had taken.
[Let's see here.] thought Hinata.
[Transformation, is the means of taking on the appearance of anther person]
"I know this!"
Looking further down the page, Hinata found something that caught her attention.
"Hmm, this looks interesting." said Hinata, reading the passage.
"The use of the transformation jutsu is used by many ninja. However, there is one clan in particular that far exceeds its use, for they have mastered the use of the true transformation jutsu. This true transformation, would allow the caster to take on the appearance of anyone they chose, and there would be no way of telling the difference."
Skipping ahead in the passage, Hinata read.
"The clan that perfected this true transformation, was the Mikachi Clan."
