Dun dun duuuuun!
.......................................................................
Hinata looked out of her bedroom window, into the cloud sky.
It was a beautiful starry night, when all the stars shined their brightest.
"Naruto-Kun, I wonder what stars you're under tonight..." Hinata whispered to herself.
She had become friends with Sasuke, but that was all he was to her.
Her heart ached to see Naruto once again.
The cold night chills leaked into her room. She pulled the covers closer to her body.
"I wonder if Naruto-Kun will notice if I'm any stronger..." Hinata whispered once again, as her face flushed red.
"What will he think if he knows I trained with Sasuke-Kun?" She asked to herself, as she began to worry.
"Then again he never really noticed me before." She replied to her own question, as she sighed deeply.
"Sasuke-Kun sure acted strange today, and especially when he started asking those weird questions..." She stated to no one, but herself.
"Why did he ask such things?" Hinata wondered to herself once again... "Could he possibly like me?" Hinata asked, as she pondered but she quickly dismissed the thought.
Then the sun shone on her pale, bright eyes. For she had stayed up all night, thinking.
She wanted to go back to sleep but she knew her father would frown upon her sleeping in, since he likes her to get up early.
"I wonder, when will Naruto-Kun return?" She asked no one other than herself.
She then promptly got up, and changed into her normal clothes and walked out the door.
.......................................................................
Naruto ran through the gates, he had hyper-active energy, even though it was so early in the day.
"Hey! Slow down!" Jiraiya shouted at Naruto, half annoyed and half amused.
Naruto slowed down to a fast-paced walk, his intense blue eyes taking in all the old and familiar sightings.
They had just passed by the chuunin, Shikamaru.
As they walked off they could hear a "How troublesome."
{I can't believe he's a chuunin now, but at least Sasuke is still a genin.} Naruto thought to himself, as a foxy grin went across his face.
Naruto was so caught up in his thoughts, plus trying to rush to the hospital, that he failed to notice Hinata walking pass him, going the opposite direction.
And Hinata did not notice Naruto either; the one she longed to see, because her head hung low, as she stared at the ground as she walked.
Naruto rested his arms behind his head as he continued to walk.
"I can't wait to see Hinata-Chan..." Naruto whispered to himself.
{I can't wait to show Sasuke how much stronger I've become. Haha, would he be surprised!} Naruto thought, with a smug smile on his face.
{But I hope he's ok. Hmmm, don't know why I'm worrying about him. Besides Tsunade is a great doctor.} As Naruto thought this, he began to walk faster.
Jiraiya just shrugged his shoulders, as he and the others quickened their pace to Naruto's.
.......................................................................
Hinata was enjoying her early walk, but as she got around where there were a lot of people, she couldn't help but notice the hushed whispers, as she walked by.
She tried to ignore them, but the more she tried to, the whispers got to where she could understand them.
"Hey, it's that girl!" whispered one random woman. "I cannot believe a Hyuuga could do such a thing..." whispered the friend of the random woman as she looked at Hinata, with disgust.
"Don't say that, it's that boys fault," whispered back the random woman. "It's too hard to believe that boy did such a thing..." whispered the friend of the random woman, once again, clearly favoring Sasuke.
"What's going on?" Hinata asked herself. "Why are they talking about me?" Hinata whispered to herself, as she quickened her pace.
She shifted her eyes down to the ground as she tried to get away from the people, talking about her, but in the process she didn't see Naruto.
The whispers just got worse the further she got.
One lady in particular pulled Hinata aside, and embraced her.
"This is such a terrible thing that has happened," The woman told Hinata. "And to you, one so young," The lady said, as she cried.
Hinata just stared blankly at the woman for a moment, till what she said, seeped into Hinata.
"...Please excuse me!" Hinata told the lady, pulling away from her.
"Don't be ashamed, it's not your fault," Said the lady, wiping her dramatic tears.
Hinata just was trying to walk away, keeping back her tears. She couldn't understand why people would say such things about her.
"Hey girl, come here," Said some boy, a little older than Hinata.
Hinata just tried to pretend she didn't notice him, but the boy followed her.
"Hey, don't you look nice Hinata-Chan," Said the boy, touching her shoulder.
Hinata turned around with a shocked expression on her face. She had no clue who he was, but he knew her name.
"So did you have fun?" The boy mocked her. As he said this, a sense of anger and sadness overcame Hinata.
"Nothing happened," She said firmly, pulling herself away from his grip.
"Hey, don't be that way, I just want to talk," The boy said, reaching out to her again.
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Hinata shouted, and it was weird to hear such a timid girl shout.
Hinata pushed the boy to the ground to get away, and he just lay there, shocked.
This was all too much for shy Hinata, the tears she had held in, were now falling down.
She just kept hearing more and more people talking about her.
{Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this?} She wondered to herself, as she broke into a run.
As she ran, she covered her ears with her hands. So she couldn't hear no more.
Her tears were all over her eyes, it began to cloud her vision. But she didn't care, she just kept running.
She would have run forever, if she could, but suddenly she stopped because she ran into someone.
"Hinata-Chan?" Kurenai said, as she looked down at teary eyed Hinata.
{Oh please don't let it be true.} Kurenai thought to herself.
Hinata blinked away some of the tears, so to see who she had ran into.
"Kurenai-Sensei..." Hinata trailed off, but as soon as she started to speak, she went back to crying again.
She hugged her sensei, it made her feel safer but she didn't want to be a bother, so she let go.
"Sorry," Hinata managed to say, in her normal very timid voice.
Seeing Hinata as she was, made Kurenai think the worse had happened.
"Hinata-Chan, what happened?" Kurenai asked, as kind as she could.
But Hinata was lost in her thoughts so she didn't hear the question.
{Well if the rumor is about Sasuke and I then maybe he can clear it up.}Hinata thought, as she wiped her tears from her eyes.
"Sasuke," Hinata said to herself, but loud enough for her Sensei to hear.
Hinata then turned and ran the other way, towards the hospital.
But that was all Kurenai had to hear. She was convinced Sasuke did something and Hinata was just too embarrassed to say.
{I'm going to kill that Sasuke brat!} Kurenai thought to herself, as she also headed for the hospital.
.......................................................................
Sasuke had fallen into a deep sleep since the day before.
Either if it was all the training he was doing, when he should be resting, or the hate that he once had surfaced again.
Whatever it was it had made the seal react. And there he was again in pain.
It wasn't as bad as before, but he still really needed to be treated.
Sakura sat beside the unconscious Sasuke, ever since the pink-haired girl heard of the news, she had been there.
Sakura started to become sleepy and her head would bob forward as she began to close her eyes.
But then she quickly opened them.
"You know, it's ok to sleep, Sakura-Chan," Kakashi told her, as he noticed how hard she was trying to stay awake.
"But...I need to stay up," Sakura replied, trying to sound determined.
"Sleep now, if anything new happens I'll tell you," Kakashi reassured her.
"Thank you, Kakashi-Sensei," Sakura thanked Kakashi, as she prepared to go to sleep.
But just as she was about to close her eyes, a certain pale eyed genin girl came rushing through the door.
"What the...?" Sakura stared, shocked at the new guest.
As soon as she had arrived, Hinata kneeled to the ground, catching her breath, with tears still rolling down her face.
"Hinata-Chan, why are you here?" Sakura asked, as her shocked expression turned into a concerned one.
Hinata could not speak yet; she was still trying to fight the tears back.
So Sakura got on her knees as well, so she was eye to eye Hinata.
"Are you ok?" Sakura asked, as she looked into Hinata's teary eyes.
Hinata nodded as she gathered all the strength she could, to speak.
"Please forgive me for being like this," Hinata said, as she wiped the tears away.
"There's a horrible rumor about Sasuke-Kun and I," Hinata explained, as she diverted her eyes away from Sakura.
Sakura first looked at her in disbelief, for who would say such things about Hinata or Sasuke, for that would matter.
But as soon as the disbelief came, the pink-haired girl had figured it out.
{Ino! Why?} Sakura thought to herself, hoping she was wrong.
"So I thought if I came here, maybe he could help me clear it up," Hinata said, forcing a little smile.
"Oh, sorry Hinata-Chan, Sasuke-Kun fell back unconscious last night," Sakura said, with a sad look on her face.
Hinata looked up slowly, at Sasuke.
{I hope I didn't hurt him.} Hinata thought, as she began to worry about Sasuke. No matter how strong he was, the gentle fist technique could still be devastating.
Hinata shook the thought out of her head. She had been extra careful and extremely gentle.
But before Hinata could even start to worry about Sasuke again, a certain blond-haired boy entered the room.
.......................................................................
"It's ok, now I'm here," Naruto announced. Sakura's look of sadness then faded into happiness.
Hinata stared into his deep blue eyes, as she did her face crept of pink.
Seeing him there made, Hinata's heart skipped a beat. But she was ashamed, since she had been crying so she stayed on the floor.
"Sakura-Chan, it's ok now, I brought a doctor, and she's really good!" Naruto said, pointing to Tsunade.
Naruto was about to notice Hinata, when out of the blue Sakura ran and hugged him.
Naruto just stood there shocked. Sakura was hugging him but it didn't feel good to him, as he thought it might have before.
"Thank you Naruto-Kun," Sakura said as she hugged Naruto tighter.
It felt so cheap when she hugged him. And he knew why because she wasn't hugging, because she was happy to see him.
No, she was hugging him because she was glad Sasuke-Kun was going to be ok, but before he would have accepted it gladly.
He pushed Sakura slowly away. "Uh, Sakura-Chan, maybe you should go sit next to Sasuke," Naruto said, with an annoyed look on his face.
Sakura looked up at Naruto with disbelief. The old Naruto would have gladly accepted her hug.
But now he was just pushing her away. But what could she do, she just rushed to Sasuke's side.
During the hug Tsunade had already finished healing Sasuke.
"He should be fine now," Tsunade assured Sakura.
With that Tsunade and the others besides Kakashi and Naruto left.
"Thank you!" Sakura thanked Naruto, smiling as tears of joy rushed down her face.
Hinata finally got the courage to stand up.
Sasuke's eyes began to refocus as he awoke, to seeing Sakura by his side as usual.
But Sasuke started to feel happy inside, because he saw Hinata.
"Hi, Naruto-Kun," Hinata managed to greet Naruto, as her face turned bright red and she began to push her index fingers together, in that cute way she always did when she saw him.
"Hi there, Hinata-Chan!" Naruto greeted back, as his annoyed face turned into a blush.
Sasuke almost began to smile when he saw how Hinata looked so cute, but then he noticed she was looking at Naruto.
Hinata's heart began to race pounding heavily on her chest as Naruto walked towards her.
He then did something unexpected. He pulled Hinata close to him in an embrace.
She did not move away, so this made Naruto even happier. "I missed you, Hinata-Chan," he whispered into her ear.
She was so embarrassed, but at the same time so happy. She blushed like a red tomato when he said those words.
All Sasuke did was watch as everything began to unfold, as he watched Naruto hug Hinata he clinched his fist tight.
Sakura noticed Sasuke was now awake so she put her hand on his arm for she was so happy.
But Sasuke pushed her away for he was mad at Naruto, for being strong and for hugging Hinata.
But as Sasuke stood up a very angry Kurenai came into the room.
Kakashi noticed this so he stood in her way.
"Move Kakashi, I'm going to kill that Sasuke brat!" Kurenai yelled.
"No, I won't move," Kakashi said, as he stood firm.
"And what gives you the right to hurt my student?" Kakashi asked, in a cold voice.
"What gives Sasuke the right to do what he did to Hinata-Chan?" Kurenai replied, equally cold.
"Kurenai Sensei..." Hinata began to say it was just a rumor, as she stopped the embrace with Naruto.
"It's alright Hinata-Chan, you don't have to defend him," Kurenai replied.
Sasuke got into a defensive position. {What the hell happened after I passed out?} Sasuke wondered to himself.
"Oh, I see, you mean the rumors going around about Hinata-Chan," Kakashi stated with a bored expression on his face.
"Huh? Rumors?" Kurenai asked, surprised. She hadn't stop to think that it could just be a rumor.
Naruto just looked at everyone dumbfounded, as he was trying to figure out what was going on.
"Yes, Hinata-Chan told us someone is spreading nasty rumors about her and Sasuke-Kun," Kakashi said as he backed away.
"What rumors?" Naruto demanded to know. {Why would there be rumors about Hinata-Chan and Sasuke?} Naruto thought to himself.
"Oh, I see, someone other than Kiba or Neji must have seen what had happened with Hinata and I," Sasuke stated.
This made Naruto's anger rise a bit.
"Seen WHAT?" Naruto demanded once again, with his anger and curiosity rising at a high rate.
Hinata looked shamefully down at the floor. She didn't want Naruto to know even, if it was an accident.
Sasuke noticed Hinata's uneasiness.
"What ever happened between Hinata-Chan and me is none of your business!" Sasuke told Naruto off firmly, with a smug look.
This set Naruto off.
"SASUKE! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Naruto shouted at Sasuke.
"Just try, dead last! I may not be completely better but it's more than enough for you," Sasuke shouted back as he glared.
"Sorry to have bothered you Kakashi, I will leave now,"Kurenai apologized as she went away from the heated fight.
But Hinata did not leave. She stood there nervous and scared as Naruto and Sasuke began to verbally insult each other.
She was at lost of what to do, because Naruto-Kun was someone she admired but Sasuke-Kun was her friend.
"Let's fight, Naruto!" Sasuke demanded.
"Fine by me," Naruto snapped back.
Hinata looked over at Kakashi, hoping he was going to stop them, but he just stood there as if everything was alright.
Naruto and Sasuke left the room, heading for the roof on top of the building.
{I have to do something.} Hinata thought as she chased after them, with Sakura following close behind.
{Why does it have to be this way?} Hinata thought as she began to worry as she was getting closer to the boys.

But Hinata did not leave. She stood there nervous and scared as Naruto and Sasuke began to verbally insult each other.
She was at lost of what to do, because Naruto-Kun was someone she admired but Sasuke-Kun was her friend.
"Let's fight, Naruto!" Sasuke demanded.
"Fine by me," Naruto snapped back.
Hinata looked over at Kakashi, hoping he was going to stop them, but he just stood there as if everything was alright.
Naruto and Sasuke left the room, heading for the roof on top of the building.
{I have to do something.} Hinata thought as she chased after them, with Sakura following close behind.
{Why does it have to be this way?} Hinata thought as she began to worry as she was getting closer to the boys.
