Chapter 27: M-mom?! (Continued)
"Hey, Sakura, how 'bout we lend a hand to Naruto?" Yumi suggested.
"I mean; I don't want to leave Hinata alone in the condition that she's in." Sakura said, looking at Hinata with sympathy in her eyes.
"Exactly! We'll go fight, and Naruto can come over here and rest." Yumi said.
"OH NO, NO WAY!" Sakura snapped. "I AM NOT LETTING THAT IDIOT GET ANYWHERE NEAR THIS INNOCENT GIRL!"
"Woah, whoa! Chill, girl! What's Naruto gonna do to her?" Yumi asked, feeling a little bit of panic.
"HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING, AND I'M SURE OF IT!"
"How can you be so sure, Sakura?"
"Well… um… I JUST KNOW!"
"Hey, why can't Hinata have a say in this?"
"I-BUT-HE- Ugh... I guess you have a point, Yumi. Well, Hinata, is it okay if Naruto comes over here, and we go fight?"
Naruto… and I… a-a-alone?! Hinata tried her hardest not to blush. "Um… I guess that it's f-fine." Hinata said.
"See? It's two against one, Sakura-chan!" Yumi exclaimed, overjoyed because she had won the "battle". "Come on, let's go and get Naruto!" Yumi started to ninja-leap over to the "arena". Sakura followed. "Yumi, wait up!" She yelled.
Hinata felt nervous. Sakura and Yumi have already taken their leave, and then Naruto will come, and then it'll be the two of us… alone… anything could happen… and I mean, ANYTHING… She thought. She buried her tomato-red face in her hands.
Naruto was throwing punches (and Rasengans, I mean, DUHHH) everywhere, and he was landing most of them, but the guards just kept dissipating and forming back together. He was just starting to get a little tired, Sakura and Yumi swept in.
"Hey, Naruto!" They said. "Hinata's behind the desk! Go there, now, before X.A.N.A. 2.0 can do anything to her!"
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Naruto said. He took off to Hinata.
Hinata spotted the black jacket and red scarf that she knew belonged to Naruto. "Naruto, over here!" She 'yelled' out. (A/N: Hinata can't yell… that's why it's in quotes) Naruto saw her, and hopped over. He sat down next to her. "Shouldn't you be out fighting with the others? You're perfectly capable."
"I would be, and I would love, but X.A.N.A. twisted my ankle when… it was carrying me over here." Hinata said. "I can't get walk, or even get up for that matter."
"Can't Sakura just heal it?"
"She tried, but she said that she would need her medic tools to completely heal it." Hinata said. She couldn't believe she was talking to Naruto without blushing or stuttering… maybe living together helped a bit! Hinata felt the daze from being in the dark fading away, little by little. The two got so caught up in their conversation that they didn't notice X.A.N.A. emerging from a security camera wire. Then, it slowly creeped up to Naruto, and X.A.N.A. 2.0 crept through his ears in attempt to possess him. It was so dark, that Naruto and Hinata didn't realize that they were caught X.A.N.A.'s hands until it happened. Naruto's blue eyes became blank whites with small black dots. A ring started to form around the dot, as well as the outline of a peace, which, altogether, created the eye of X.A.N.A. Naruto was merciless, and Hinata had jumped back in horror.
Okay so for some reason my computer didn't want to copy besides a certain point in Word. Didn't realize... There will be another chapter today, don't worry.
