I was in a lot of pain. Pure uncontrolled pain, but I was sure Naruto was in even more pain at the moment. The pain killers the doctors had given me weren't working. They tell me that its physiological, that its all in my head. That there's some painful memory in my head that's causing me so much pain. I don't believe them. If that were the case then I would be able to get rid of it quickly.

I'm in the hospital at the moment. Unconsciously and consciously I have been here for 18 hours. The doctors told me that a bus had rammed right into us, on my side of the car. Shattering all the windows and bending the car around its frame. Some how Naruto had saved me. I wasn't any where near as hurt as he was. Right now he was in critical condition. They have to do an operation to remove some of the larger pieces of glass and metal that had some how lodged themselves in Narutos body. Their still working on him because the glass keeps breaking off into smaller shards. it's a very delicate procedure.

"Neji-nii!" Someone yelled from down the hall. Hinata was panting, her pretty face creased in worry. "Oh my God! Are you alright?" She ran over to me and hugged me around the waist. I hissed in pain.

"Ow! I'm alright, Hinata-sama! I'm just a little banged up. Narutos in a lot more pain." I stared passed her head and through a window, watching the birds fly by.

"Naruto-kun? Oh my God! What happened to you two? The doctor that called only told me that you were hurt! She never mentioned that Naruto-kun was involved!" Hinata, in her shock, wasn't stuttering. I was so proud of her. I patted her on the head and smiled down at her.

"Naruto's going to be alright. Calm down, breath, every things going to turn out just fine. It was only a car wreck." Her head snapped up and she glared at me.

"Were either of you drinking and driving?"

"What? No! Why would you think that?!" I stared down at her incredulously.

"You guys haven't seen each other for days! You could have met up at that bar you always go to!" She glared accusingly at me.

"What?! We weren't even anywhere near there!"

"Then what happened?!" She started to pout and I sighed.

"Naruto was speeding, trying to get me home cause I was already hurt to begin with."

"How did you get hurt? Your hiding something!" Sometimes I hated it when her pushy side came out.

"I stumbled and fell in an alleyway. Naruto was in the ally and saw me. He knocked over a few stuff and that fell on top of me…"

"Excuse me." I spun around, pushing Hinata behind me, and came face to face with one of the doctors treating Naruto. "Your Neji Hyuuga correct?" I nodded. "I would like for you to come with me." I nodded again and told Hinata to wait for me there or to just go home. The doctor brought me to an office and sat me down in one of the chairs. "That boy we're operating on is very strong and resilient," he commented.

"That's Naruto for you."

"How long have you known him?"

"Depends on what you mean. Face to face? A couple of days. On the net? A couple of years." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Hmm… you must be very important to him then, if he's willing to go through all that just to make sure your alright."

"Why would you say that? What do you mean?"

"Because to my understanding, your friend was conscious throughout the entire ordeal. When the paramedics showed up he had dragged you and himself 5 ft away from the crash. Clutching you to himself with tears rolling down his cheeks, saying your name, and checking to see if you were seriously hurt or not. When the paramedics started to work on him he told them to ignore him and work on you instead. Only when they told him that you were fine, walking around, and conscious did he finally go to sleep. Which was actually quite recently," the doctor said with a thoughtful expression on his face. I thought about what he had said, staring off to the side as I tried to remember any point in time that I was conscious after the crash, except for now. Naruto didn't care for me that much did he? That kind of caring was bordering on insanity.

"He would do that for anyone," I choked out.

"If you say so. But anyways. The operation is done so we can run a few cat scans and tests to see if there is anything else wrong with him. But we cant really diagnose anything mentally until he wakes up. And since we don't know when that is we don't know what more we can do." He tapped his chin with his index finger and wrote a few things down on his clip board.

"Are you going to throw him out?" I demanded.

"No! Of course not! I wouldn't allow him to be thrown out!" He looked aghast at what I had said, as if he couldn't possibly imagine it. I simply nodded. He calmed down. "Do you know a family member of his? One that we can contact?" I shook my head no.

"He lives alone in an apartment. He has a father, but I don't know what his name is." The doctor sighed. At that moment a nurse ran in.

"Doctor!"

"Yes nurse?"

"There is a man! He claims to be the patient, Narutos, father!"

We looked at each other before we both yelled, "Send him in!"
