The breaks almost over....BOO!

Enjoy this chapter.


"..to?...ruto?...." A voice said.

Naruto weakly opened his eyes. He heard the sound of a machine's steady beeping. He was lying on a bed. He stared around him. Sakura, and Hinata were on both his sides. Both of them looking worried.

"Sakura...your safe" He gave a weak smile "...What happened?" He said weakly.

"Try not to talk too much." Hinata warned. "You really hurt!" She almost cried.

"The warehouse blew up. We found your body under some rubble." Sakura said. "You were hurt pretty badly and we rushed you to the hospital. You've been asleep since yesterday."

Naruto took a deep breath and looked down at his body, he realized that his torso and arms were covered in bandages. "Where's Sho?"

"We couldn't find him." Sakura told him "Just try to go back to sleep."

"Yeah...that is what's best right now." Hinata said "I'll come back to visit later." She bent over Naruto and gave him a kiss on his forehead.

Naruto smiled then closed his eyes and fell back asleep.

"Let's go Sakura." Hinata said and left the room. The two exited the hospital. "So tell again what happened." Hinata said.

"Uh well. Yesterday I saw Naruto walking away from school. He said that he wasn't going because you were sick, so there was no point. I tried to get him to go back but instead I ended up joining him. I got kidnapped by this guy named Sho and he made Naruto fight him. I was dragged out and two of the guys set the warehouse on fire. I ran for help and by the time I got back it blew up." Sakura explained. "...You aren't thinking this is my fault are you?"

"No." Hinata said. "Neither of you could have known what could have happened." She said coldly.

"Listen Hinata, please don't be mad. I am going to do everything I can to make it up to him."

"I'm not mad. I have to go now." She said and took off.

Sakura let out a sigh. I hope that we can all just move through all of this.


Hayato peeped inside Naruto's room and went back out. "Yeah there gone." He said into his phone.

"Thank god." Eria said as she came out of another patients room.

"So...this is the guy you've fallen head over heels for?" Hayato asked as he sat down on a chair.

Eria blushed like crazy when she entered his room. "Uh huh..." She said shyly. "Do you know what happened to him?" She asked as she sat down right next Naruto.

"Let me take a look." He said as he pulled up the chart next to his bedside. He scanned it over a few times. "A few broken bones...some burns...a lot of cuts, but none of them seem serious. What the hell did this guy do?" He looked up from the chart.

"C-Can I have a few minutes alone with him?" Eria blushed again.

"C-Can I have a few minutes alone with him?" He copied her "Ha ha! You should see yourself. Are you gonna kiss him or something?" He laughed.

"N-No! I'm just gonna t-talk to him for a while." Eria turned her face.

"Whatever I'll be downstairs in the lobby."

Naruto...Where you in a fight or something? "I feel kind of silly talking to you like this..." She turned her head to see if Hayato really left and was not spying on her.

"Umm...I just want to say that even though you like Hinata...I won't give up! I am going to try to make you like me..." She checked behind her once more. Then she bent over Naruto and kissed him on the lips. I kissed Naruto!

Naruto shuffled around a bit in his bed. "Hinata?" He whispered.

Eria drooped her head and walked out of the room, looking depressed. Even in his sleep he's thinking of her.

"Done already?" Hayato asked, he was reading a magazine in chair.

"Yeah..." Eria responded but didn't look at him.

"What's wrong?" He dropped the magazine and walked over to her. "Did something happen?"

"..." Eria did not say anything.

"Come on. You can tell me. How long have we been friends?" He shook her shoulders.

"Let's go somewhere else first." She looked up at him and then around the room. "I don't want to talk here."

They went outside and began walking down the street.

"Well...I did kiss him." She blushed and looked down at the ground.

"I knew you would!" Hayato laughed.

"Well I was not even planning on that! You got the idea into my head!" She looked and yelled at him.

"OK so? How did that make you sad?"

"That was not it...it's waht he said after."

Hayato walked closer to her. "What did he say?"

"He said 'Hinata?' That means that he's thinking about her even in his dreams this plan is not going to work." She sniffled.

"Hey don't say that." He wrapped his arm around her in comfort. "You just got to do something that will make him notice you. Something really amazing!"

"Like what?" She turned her head to face him.

"Show him your boobs!" He laughed.

Eria turned red and turned away from him.

"Kidding. I'll think of something. I already got Hinata thinking about me." He boasted.

"I thought you said that the spell wasn't working that well."

"I know, but yesterday something happened." He began. "I was walking around the hospital visiting other patients then I decided to Pay Hinata another visit. That's when I saw it." His eyes lit up. "There was some guy with a nose cast trying to climb out the window with Hinata over his shoulder. He had put tape over her mouth so that no one could hear her. I rushed to her rescue I ran over to them and kicked his left knee. He got put off balance and fell on one knee. I picked up Hinata and laid her on the bed. I turned around and finished the guy off with a kick to the side of his face.

"She thanked me from the bottom of her heart and gave me a hug." He grinned. "She will think of me a her knight in shining armor and the spell will have more of an effect on her, and soon she'll be crazy over me and dump Naruto."

"And if He still loves her?"

"Like I said we'll think of something to get him to notice you."


"I'm going to the hospital now father." Hinata informed her father.

He perked up from reading his papers on his desk. "Hospital? Are you not feeling well again?" He asked.

"No it's not that. I'm going to go visit a friend he was admitted there yesterday." She informed him.

"Is she OK?" He asked.

"It's a guy friend. He seems to be doing fine fight now, and I want to check up on him."

Her father looked deep in thought. He looked at the clock on the wall and then back at his daughter. "It's 7 O'clock. Try to be back early alright?"

Hinata smiled and thanked her father. "I won't be too long."

She went out to the front door and called her butler for a limo. When it approached she climbed inside and sat down. She informed the driver where to go and sat back. When she arrived she rushed to Naruto's room and found Jiraiya beside Naruto laughing it up.

"Hinata!" Naruto sat up.

Jiraiya turned and saw her by the door "Hinata!" He grinned.

"Glad your here."

"What am I here for then?" Jiraiya whined.

"All you kept talking about was all the female nurses that walk by the room. It got old after the second one." Naruto said.

"I'm going to get something to eat." Jiraiya pouted and left them alone.

"H-How are you feeling?" She said as she sat down in the spot where Jiraiya was.

"Pretty damn good!" Naruto laughed "The doctors are impressed at how fast I'm recovering. They say that I should be out by Friday if this keeps up."

"That's great!" Hinata smiled and hugged him tight.

"Ugh!" Naruto groaned.

"I'm sorry!" She yelped as she released him.

"It's OK. That's nothing compared to what gramps is going to do when I get home." He chuckled. "Well what's been happening at school?"

"Nothing much. But you are going to have a lot of catching up to do by missing four days of school."

"Great more work." Naruto cried.

Hinata giggled and they kept talking for about an hour. Hinata decided that she had to get back home before her father worried. They kissed each other goodbye and she left.

I hope that nothing like this happens again. Sakura could have been hurt and something like this ever happens to Hinata... Naruto shook the thought out of his head.


(Friday)

Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Sakura all went to pick up Naruto from the hospital.

"School felt kind of weird without him there." Choji said.

"Yeah well he'll be out now so we can all go out to a movie or something." Shikamaru said.

"We'll do what he wants to do." Hinata said as they all walked up to Naruto's room. When they walked into this room Naruto was changing into his street clothes.

"Hey guys what's up?" He hopped out of bed and kissed Hinata.

Sakura blushed a little and looked away.

"Come on guys we don't want to see that gushy stuff." Choji groaned.

"Sorry.." He stepped away from Hinata. "So why are you guys here?"

"We decided that since you're getting out we could do something together, like watch a movie or something." Shikamaru said.

"Sounds good to me. But I'll have to stop by the house to pick up some money." Naruto said.


"Explain to me why we're going to a movie theater in Konoha?" Gaara said.

"It'll take a while to get there." Kankuro said as he took his seat.

"No one invited you to come you know?" Temari said as she stretched in her chair.

"Yeah...but only you have money right now and offered to pay." Gaara said as he looked out the window.

"You're going to see that Shikamaru kid aren't you?" Kankuro gave a sly grin.

Temari lightly blushed "Yup, him and some friends are supposedly going to a movie and they invited me to come along." She smiled back. "Don't worry you don't have to watch the same movie as us." She said as the bus traveled into Konoha.


I decided to bring the sand siblings into a few chapters from now on....but I'm still not sure what I'll do with them.
