Chapter 25
- - - - At A Hill - - - -
It has been over a month now and Sasuke and I still weren't a couple. I looked over the hill that was not too far from my mother's grave pissed. Does he prefer to just tease me? It was so infuriating! If only I knew what he felt for me, I wouldn't be so infuriated. Maybe he didn't like me and was trying to get that one thing my mother said not to give until I was married. No! Stop Hinata!
I let loose a sigh. I just couldn't hold in my emotions anymore. I wanted to scream and hurt Sasuke for confusing me. I wanted to cry and beg him to just take me, but then I just wanted to continue what we have if we were not to go further.
I sat down frustrated as my legs dangled precariously over the edge of the hill. Maybe if I jumped, everything will go away, my pains, my problems, my confusion, just my whole emotions.
Tonight, the school was hosting a very late Halloween party for our school. I didn't even know why they bothered. It was already December but nonetheless they thought it to be a good idea. I was going to go as a geisha, actually, Sakura, Ino, Temari, Tenten, and I were all suppose to be dressed up as geisha's but I didn't feel like going. If I go I would have to face the reason I was here in the first place thinking suicide thoughts.
But if I didn't go, Ino, Tenten, and Temari was going to use that little information they found out about Sasuke and I as blackmail.
"I just don't want to go! Do something to not make me go Kami! Break my leg…strike lightning at me…but just don't make me go!" I yelled to no one in particular before I buried my head in my knees that I had the liberty of tucking under my chin.
I stayed like this until I heard chuckling behind me. I quickly whipped my head around to see that same waiter appearing everywhere at the Business ball. His chakra flow also felt familiar. It almost felt like the one that has been following me since I was at Haku's eating ice-cream. Maybe…
The guy took two steps toward me before stopping. I quickly got up from my seat on the floor. His piercing gaze through his glasses was murderous. I stood so as to not show my fear but I knew my eyes betrayed me.
He chuckled his long unnatural silver hair shaking. "You seem to not want to go to your school's little Halloween dance. Might I ask why?"
"W-wh-who are y-you and w-wh-what d-do you w-want from me?" I asked cursing my stammering inwardly.
"Oh how rude of me. I'm Kabuto and I'm here to kill you," he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"W-wh-why d-do you w-wa-want to-to k-k-k-k-kill m-me," I said taking one tentative step backward.
"Because your little boyfriend," Kabuto said spitting out boyfriend as if it was the most uncouth thing to say, "took something that I wanted away from me."
I had to stall him. "W-what d-did he take f-from you?"
"Are you trying to stall me? How pathetic. No ones going to miss you if you were to die, so there's no need to stall. But nonetheless I'll tell you. Your boyfriend took someone very important from me as well as kill the man that I wanted to kill," he said calmly.
"W-who was the person h-he killed?" I asked knowing stalling was futile but I still had to try.
"You shouldn't deny the inevitable Hyuuga. Death will come to you today and I'll make sure of that," he said darkly.
I looked behind him to see something no someone approaching. "Who w-were the people he-he killed?" I obviously knew he was talking about Sasuke. Sasuke did run away for three years to go to some gang to look for his brother.
"He killed that vile creature Orochimaru not that I'm mad that he killed him. I just wanted to see that asshole die by my hands! And for the other person he killed, she was the only one I ever loved."
The person came closer to Kabuto. At first I thought it to be Sasuke but it wasn't but he seemed familiar.
Kabuto looked at his watch. "Well I have elsewhere to be so let's get this over with."
He walked toward me. I stood my ground not that I could have move without jumping off the ledge.
I then heard a gunshot and felt the blood. I kneeled down on the ground. The blood of Kabuto was all on me. I watched as the person behind Kabuto shot him, the bullet going through his head. I then heard thump assuming it to be Kabuto's dead corpse.
Blood. The blood reminded me of my mother's before she died. The day that bastard shot my mother and then tried to kidnap me. I looked at the blood on me frightened. I forced back all those dark thoughts away from my head. I didn't want to see my mother's dead face looking at the sky. It was all just too much.
The person who shot Kabuto was standing in front of me but I was too stricken to acknowledge his presence.
"Hyuuga, get up," the voice said.
I looked up to see black eyes much like Sasuke's. His long black hair blowing in the breeze he had on some kind of jacket that had red clouds on it.
"Who-who are you?" I asked looking at Kabuto's body. An image of my mom's dead corpse appeared. I got up and took a step back murmuring no over and over again, each getting louder than the other.
"Hyuuga! Stop moving!"
"No!" I screamed as I fell over the ledge.
- - - - - - - - 25 - - - - - - - -
It felt like I was dreaming. It was so peaceful, so happy.
"Hinata," I heard someone call.
My mother face appeared before me.
I smiled. "Mom!"
"Hinata don't give into the tugging of your soul. Your needed alive."
My mother's face disappeared and I was met with pain wrecking my whole body.
I opened my eyes and screamed relentlessly. The pain hurt so much. I felt I was on a bed being wheeled somewhere. A doctor's face loomed over mines. I must be in the hospital. The doctor then barked an order as I being wheeled somewhere. I wonder if they were wheeling me to my death bed. I closed my eyes.
"Hinata," said a voice next to me.
I turned my head without opening my eyes.
"Hinata, it's me Sasuke," the voice said truly pained.
Sasuke? I thought he would be at the Halloween dance. I laughed in the inside at the irony of it. Now I had an excuse to not go.
"Please, please don't die. I-I love you," He whispered.
It sounded like if he might cry. I didn't want Sasuke to cry.
"I promise, I won't die and I love you, too," I said before I slipped into unconsciousness.
- - - - Doctor's POV - - - -
I walked out of the emergency room. This is one part of the job I hated telling the bad news. I walked up to the group of teenagers who came for the Hyuuga girl. I cleared my throat. They all looked up at me with hope in their eyes. It pained me tell them the truth but it was my duty and bringing about false hope didn't make the situation better.
- - - - Ino's POV - - - -
The doctor approached us and cleared his throat.
"She is alive," the doctor said.
Everybody's face cheered up at that until the doctor said that one word.
"But she might not live longer then a few days," he finished.
My tears came back. Shino wrapped his arm around me and embraced me. I felt guilty after all this had to be hurting him more for he knew Hinata longer. I hugged Shino back hoping he knew that I was trying to comfort him also.
- - - - Tenten's POV - - - -
When I heard the news I blinked and blinked and blinked until I heard a strangled sound from behind.
I turned to see Neji with unshed years in his eyes. I went to comfort. This had to be hurting him more than anyone else even though he had hated her when they were younger.
How wrong I was.
- - - - Neji's POV - - - -
Hinata dead? Hinata can't die. Not now. Why did this happen to her? What will happen to me when she's six feet under away from me to see her blushing face and her nice, calming, gentle ways?
Why her and not me?
- - - - Sasuke's POV - - - -
I walked out of there. I walked out of there once the doctor said she might die. She just can't die! She made a promise, a promise to me that she won't die. I walked until I was outside and in the confinement of my car. That's when the tears came.
- - - - A Few Days Later in Neji's POV - - - -
I turned on the TV, sulkily. Hinata hadn't died yet. I was happy but to a certain extent. She was alive but she was in a comatose state. It just felt like it was my fault. I wasn't there to protect her like I was suppose to. The TV blasted the latest. I reluctantly tuned in.
"This person also known as Kabuto was found dead in the same area Hinata Hyuuga was found close to death. Police believes that he is a suspect in this matter. Police also believes that there was a third person involved. But is unknown whether he or she helped Hinata or aided in her near death experience. Police won't know till the Hyuuga wakes out of her comatose state if she wakes up that is.. We will be keeping…"
I tuned out the rest of what the anchor woman said. I was stricken. What did she do to deserve this? And why?
I was woken out of my depression when the phone rang. I reluctantly got up and picked the phone up.
"Hello?" I answered tiredly.
"Hello is this Neji Hyuuga?" a female's voice asked.
"Yes, this is he. How may I help you?"
"This is about Hinata Hyuuga. Can you please come down to the hospital."
"Yes," I said before hanging up.
- - - - Still in Neji's POV - - - -
I walked into the hospital and up to the front desk.
"I'm here for Hinata Hyuuga," I said glumly.
The nurse smiled at me before telling me go ahead.
I walked to Hinata's room deep in thought.
Why the hell was that bitch smiling? Didn't she know that Hinata could possibly dead right about now and all she can do is smile. Who the fuck does that?
"Neji Hyuuga," I heard.
"Yes, that's my name," I said dryly.
The room was awfully quiet. I couldn't hear the constant beep of Hinata's heartbeat on that stupid heartbeat reader. Never could remember those fucking thing names.
"I'm sorry Neji, but Hinata's health is going down slowly. She'll die in a few hours," the doctor said.
I nodded my head. I wasn't going to lose my cool. I instead grabbed my cell phone and called the gang to tell them the news which of course wasn't taken too well.

Yep it's that time again! The end of the chapter and I'm so mad at myself for making this sad chapter but such is life. But this isn't the end! People move on. My next chapter will probably be happy for everyone.
