======
I walked home in the cold winter, the cold wrapping it's unwanted arms around me. I can feel my breath turning into smoke in front of me. Everything was covered in either white or gray. The fair was intresting, Naruto kun unfortunately, lost to Kiba kun and Sasuke at DDR. Ino and Sakura versed each other in the DDR where you do it with your hands or something like that. Shinno got extremely bored with the matter. Everyone was doing everything that they would normally do. It was a very hectic but fun day. I held myself tighter, it was so cold! I knew I should've brought a sweater, but I was just in a hurry, so I forgot. Kiba kun and Shinno kun wanted to walk home with me, I don't want to cause trouble for them though. So I just nodded my head and left. I sort of regret doing that now, I feel so alone.
I looked in front of me again, since I was staring at my shoes when I walked. Everything was blurry...why is that? I also feel so dizzy, and I feel that the floor is coming up at me. I closed my eyes, and thought, I'm going to fall, i'm going to lay in the cold snow. I waited, I didn't collide with the floor, so I looked up. I met eye to eye with two figures I knew all too well.
"..Kiba kun? Shinno Kun?" I asked them. I couldn't hold out any more though, I could feel my eyelids get heavier and heavier.
_later_
"It's a good thing we followed her!" What was that..who was talking?
"Imagine what would've happened if she was alone." Was that Shinno kun?
"Hey! I think she's coming through!!" Kiba kun?
"Bark!!!" I felt a wet tounge against my cheek, yeah. Akamaru.
I tried to get up. My body seemed extremely heavy than usual. Kiba kun suddenly got up and pushed me down gently.
"Don't get up, idiot. You know how sick you are?" He said to me. Looking at him in the eye, I wonder, am I really that sick? Than I noticed the territory I was in. It was..unfamilier to me.
Shinno kun and Kiba kun must've noticed my curioustiy because Shinno said quietly to me, "Your in Kiba's house."
"Oh, well, I can just go to my house you know, you don't have to go through all this trouble!!" I said to them, I don't want to be a bother.
"Duh, no! Your our comrade, it's our job to make sure everyone is okay! Plus, my house was the closest." Kiba kun said happily over to me. I happened to notice a little error in what he said.
So I spoke up, "I was on my way to my house though, so Isn't my house closer?" As soon as this exited my mouth I could feel the uneasy silence in the room. Kiba kun and Shinno kun both looked down slightly.
"Well..uhm.." KIba kun mumbled, Shinno kun looked like he was trying to come up with an answer as well. I too, felt a frown on my face. I knew the answer, I was right, my house was closest, and I knew why we went to Kiba kun's house.
"My father...didn't let me in huh?" I asked to the both of them, me eyes were slowly crying out tears. There was another uneasy silence. I was right after all. Father never really accepted me. So why should he accept me when I'm so weak, I catch a fever. I felt a sudden weight on my lap, Akamaru was cuddling in my lap, as of trying to comfort me. Then, the tears came.
I quickly put my hands in front of my face. "I..just hate it! I..I..hate it all! Father doesn't accpet me! I-I'm s-so weak!! Even When I fought Neji Oniisan I couldn't-Couldn't." I didn't understand what I was saying, of course I couldn't beat Neji Oniisan. But why, why do I feel so much pain knowing I can't? Why do I feel pain knowing that I can't beat my little sister and not get accepted by my father.. "I..I want to change so bad!!!"
"Why?" I stopped, I stopped crying, I knew where the voice came from. Naruto kun. I looked up immediately, I came face to face with Naruto kun, Sakura chan, almost everyone.
"Why do you want to change?" Naruto kun asked again.
"B-Because N-no one accepts me.." I sniffled.
"That's not true Hinata chan." Sakura chan calmly said to me. "We accept you."
They accept me, they accept me. How ironic, my family doesn't yet they do. Why is that?
"Why?" I asked them, wanting to hear the answer.
"Because you Hinata." Shinno kun said to me. Am I really that great? Just being Hinata?
"But..I'm so weak." I said to them.
"So?" Naruto asked. So? Is it really alright to be weak? Can I really stay the same?
"There are lots of ways to be strong Hinata." Kiba kun said cheerfully to me. I looked at him, than at everyone else.Different ways?
"Example, Naruto is strong in his way, your strong in yours!" Sakura chan smiled brightfully as she said this.
"If your father can't accept you, than he doesn't see the qualities that you have." Shinno kun once again surpirsed me.
"After all, you cute, nice, and you have a strong sense of will power!" Naruto kun yelled. I feel so happy, i'm really strong in this way huh? I never thought of that.
"So smile Hinata. Smile for us once again." Naruto kun calmed down a little when he said this. I felt my lips curls up to a smile.
"That's the way to go!!!" Kiba Kun yelled.
They all laughed and started to talk. Sakura chan offered me some soup she had made, I gladly accepted. Then she started to talk about how Kiba kun called Naruto and her, and almost everyone about me. Naruto was the first to hurry over.
"I thought he was going to freeze to death because he forgot to put on a jacket before he left!" Sakura laughed out.
"Really?" I asked her. Sakura nodded at me, with her famous caring smile. I looked over to Naruto, who was arguing to Kiba kun.
How is it? That they would fight a deadly snow storm and all they want me to do is smile? Yet, it feels so right. To know, that..I'm accepted into somewhere. Some place.
"Hey, is Hinata sama here?" I looked up, It was Neji oniisan. Why, was he here?
"Yeah, she's right here." Sakura chan said stiffly. Everyone eyed Neji oniisan for a while.
Neji oniisan felt everyone's uneasyness so he just explained calmly,"Someone told the main house that she was sick with a fever, her father told me to go get her." Father was worried? Father wanted me to go home?
Neji Oniisan came over to me and turned his back, offering me to go on it. "Get on and I'll carry you home."
"Wait! She needs to be covered in blankets first! She might catch an even higher fever!" Sakura chan yelled, wrapping some blankets around me.
"Hey! Neji needs a jacket too! We don't want her ride to be driven awau in the snow!" Naruto kun joked.
I heard Neji Oniisan made a sigh, showing he was annoyed. "Why don't you all come?" He said starcastically.
"Great idea!!!" Kiba kun yelled and he ran to get his coat.
"I wasn't serious!!!" Neji oniisan yelled after him.
"Well, in truth, we just don't trust you." Shinno kun said, then he put on his coat and went to wait outside.
"Hey, you really want them to come?" Neji oniisan asked me.
"Yes," I told him calmly, "I want them to come."
"Suit yourself."
Amazing, how when you really want something you could never get. You wait, and you never get it, you cry, because you think that it would never come....but when you do get it, it makes you feel so happy.

third person's POV
"Hey, she's asleep." Kiba said looking on Neji's back.
"So she is." Neji huffed.
"Sorry Neji, we put too many blankets on her. Are you about to faint because it's so heavy?" Sakura asked jokingly.
"Shut up, as long as she's not cold." Naji countered.
"Hey, do you think her father will be mad?" Naruto asked.
"No, I don't think so." Shinno answered.
"Yeah after all, this is the day..." Sakura started.
"That Hinata sama feels accepted." Neji finished.
Everyone looked at Hinata, except for Neji. On Hinata's sleepy face, was a smile.
Sometimes, the things that need to be heard, is the smallest voice...
