A/N: Thank you for all your reviews.
Here's the next chap.
cough cough
I closed my eyes and leaned my head against my soft pillow.
My head was pounding and I was burning hot. How I had gotten this sick? I had no idea.
I had been in my room this way for two hours now. My father came to check on me every 15 mins.
Since it was an A rank mission and all I decided I should start thinking. I had nothing else to do. And it was no use and putting it off any longer. Believe it or not I had been trying to avoid thinking. But still I couldn't help but think I was sort of dillusional at the moment. Well if I thought I was dillusional I must not be.
I took a deep breath and tried to decided who to begin with. I finally decided on Naruto.
He was my first love. Yes I loved him a whole lot. Admiration and a obssessive crush had turned into pure love. I had waited sooooooo long for him to notice and return the affection and just when I thought it was all in vain...all this happened. I imagined my life married to Naruto. Our wedding would be fun and happy. Then our honeymoon would be fun as well. I would never be bored because being with naruto was never boring. He was always doing something weird or funny. If I ever cried he knew exactly how to cheer me up. Everyday would be another adventure. All in all if I married Naruto I would the happiest girl in the world.
I smiled. I didn't want my thoughts to linger on away from Naruto but I let them. This time I thought of Neji.
Sure we had our rough times but I still found it amazing that after hating me so much he could fall inlove with me. And I could fall inlove with him back. I didn't have a clue what my father would think about our marriage but I wouldn't care. I wouldn't care what anybody thought because it wouldn't matter. I would stay in Konoha and my last name would be the same but I like Hyuga anyways. I magined watching him train everyday and him doing the same with me. I imagined holding his hand.
I was no longer smiling but sobbing again. This was so hard.
I played Tsunade sama's words in my head.
"Choose wisely."
I bit my lip and let my mind wander to Gaara.
He was an amazing person that I couldn't help falling inlove with. Every single part of me loved him. Like Tsunade sama had said it was like a fairytell. Only it was very real. If I married him I would have my dream wedding. Flowers in my hair and flowers in his hand. I would move from Konoha to Suna. Sure I would miss my family and friends but waking up beside him every morning would be enough for me. I would be faithful until my last breath. Maybe after awhile I could get him to open up to me. It would truly be an adventure but I was willing to go through with it.
I sighed. I was viisting a candy shop again and clueless to what I wanted. But I had to figure out soon.

I opened my eyes slowly. Snowdrop sat beside my head purring softly.
"How'd you get in here?" I asked sleepily.
Snowdrop just kept purring. I sat up and looked around. Apparently she had squeezed through the door. She was such a little sneak. But I loved her for it.
"Ow!" i cried clasping my hands to my head. It was still pounding and my entire body ached. I was burning hot too.
Snowdrop jumped onto the dresser and rubbed her body against the clock. My vision was blurry but I could still read the numbers. It was 4:00pm.
My first thought was Neji.

(Neji's POV)
She wasn't here and I wasn't going to remind her to be here. I wanted her to remember her promise on her own. Sure I liked spending time with her but I wanted it to be the same way around for her.
I thought of my promise. How was I suppossed to learn this jutsu in eight more days if she wasn't training me.
knock knock
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. I guessed it must have been Hinata.
I sighed and headed towards the door. I turned the knob and yanked it open. "You're lat-
I paused when I saw Hinata infront of me. She didn't look so well. Her face was pale and she was shaking. Her body was really clamy and to top things off she wasn't wearing a sweater or coat but just her sleeping clothes.
"Hinata?"
Her body wavered a bit. "We h-have t-to t-train." she said. "I'm s-sorry I'm l-late."
I stared at her for a bit before coming to my senses. "You're sick."
"I'm f-fine." she said shaking her head.
I didn't believe her and she proved her self wrong because just then she fell forward onto me. I caught her in my arms. She was burning hot.
"You're burning." I said lifting her chin.
She didn't say anything.
I exhaled deeply and lifted her in my arms and carried her to the couch.. She wasn't out but she was out of it. She just kept moaning. I layed her down gently and stared at her. Her shirt had come unbuttoned all the way. I had to fight every erge inside of me to touch her. As much as I wanted to I knew it would be wrong to take advantage of her while she was sick like this. But man she had really grown.
I closed my eyes and bent down beside her face. "What hurts?" I asked.
"Everything," she replied. "My head my chest my stomach."
I nodded and stood up. "I'll get you medicine."
Hinata caught my hand. "I'm sorry." she said softly.
I took a deep breath before leaning closer to her and kissing her stomach. "It'll be o.k." I said moving up and kissing her chest. "I swear." I whispered. I moved upwards my lips scanning over her and up to her forehead. "Don't worry."
I moved so that my lips were at her ear. I'll take care of you. And when you wake I'll be here"

I opened my eyes and my vision slowly adjusted to the dim light. This wasn't my room.
Sitting up slowly I looked around.
"Are you feeling better?" Neji asked. He was standing over me.
"How did-mmph
"Don't talk." Neji said pressing his finger against my lips. "Well...do anwser my question are you feeling better?"
I nodded. "Much better."
I really was feeling alot better. My head had stopped pounding and my body felt stable.
"You should go home." Neji said turning away from me.
"You're right." I said looking down.
"Do you need me to walk you?" he asked standing up.
"We didn't train today." II said looking back up at him.
"It dosen't matter. I learned enough today." he said removing his jacket and putting it on my shoulders.
"Huh?"
"I think I'm getting closer to performing this jutsu correctly. Like you said I'm starting to feel it in my body."
I stared at him confused. "But it took me two years."
He shrugged. I'm not you."
I blushed. "I spent so much time getting stronger so that..." You amaze me sometimes Neji."
"You amaze me more."
I bit my lip. "I should go." I said standing up.
Neji nodded.
I began to walk towards the door when I paused. "Thank you." I said before opening the door and running out.
I knew if I stayed in there any longer I would have probly melted into his arms and right now that was not what I needed. I rested my back against the shut door and caught my breath.
The sun was setting. It looked beautiful.
There was only one person I wanted to share this with. Well one person and one kitten. I think I finally knew what I wanted. I was no longer dillusional and scattered brained. I would tell Tsunade sama my choice on friday and I wasn't changing my mind.
I began walking towards my house slowly preparing to be scolded by my father the minute I walked in for leaving home while I was sick. But he didn't do that. He just smiled when he saw me. "You're feeling better?" he asked.
I nodded.
"You're cat nearly went crazy when you left."
I giggled. "Where's she?"
"Upstairs."
I smiled and began to run upstairs.
"Hinata!" my father called after me.
"Uh...yes." I said stopping and turning around.
"Is Neji the one you love?" he asked.
I smiled. "I love him...like I love you."
"So does that mean he's not your choice?"
"Let's let that be a surprise." I said. With that I countinued running upstairs to my room.
Snowdrop greeted me happily. I cuddled her in my arms. "I really hope he comes tonight." I said kissing her. "It seems my mystery guy isn't so much of a mystery anymore. I know exactly who he is."
