Chapter six:

Disclaimer: Use your heads people, would a writer as inexperienced as I am own one of the most popular anime shows ever? Doubtful...

((Kurenai's POV))

"Hiashi!" Kurenai angrily pounded on the door of Hyuuga estate. Hanabi opened the door. She was wearing a black kimono and her eyes were red with tears.

"Hanabi chan? Is your dad in?" She asked.

"H-he'll be back in fifteen minutes or so, he's talking business with some people,"

"Eh? May I come in?" Hanabi nodded. Kurenai sat down at the kitchen table.

"M-may I get you some tea?" Hanabi asked. Kurenai shook her head as she waited in an awkward silence for Hiashi to get home. Four minutes passed. Hanabi had started chewing on her bottom lip.

"You ok, Hanabi chan... I know it's tough, not having someone you loved," Hanabi shook her head. Kurenai pulled her onto her lap and gave her a hug.

"She's dead!" Hanabi bawled. "She's really gone!" The girl's sister's sensei sat in silence with the crying child on her lap until Hiashi walked. She gently placed Hanabi on the floor and stood up.

"Hiashi sama! You lied to me! You told me she was in the Hidden Cloud village visiting her mom!" Kurenai shouted. ((My friend suggested this 'cause Hidden Cloud sounds like heaven and since you never see or hear about Hinata's or Neji's moms, I assumed they were dead... fear my mind games)

"Hanabi!" Hiashi scolded. Hanabi shook her head,

"She already knew..." she whispered.

Hiashi sat down and gestured for Kurenai to do the same.

"Yes, I lied. I didn't want you or your students to get worried,"

"Well it was my students that told me about it! You really should've told me!" she scolded.

"...her funeral is two days from now at one p.m.; tell your students, I know she would want them to be there."

"...She's really dead." Kurenai whispered, "Thank you for your time, Hiashi sama."

Hinata was really dead. Was it my entire fault? I never focused on training her, I always focused on Shino, because I didn't believe in her. She really was powerful. Why'd she have to kill herself? Why!?

((Change POV-Sakura))

I awoke with Neji, Ino, and Naruto sitting near me. I remembered what I had heard before passing out and questions came buzzing to my head.

"W-why, why did she do that? Why?"

"We don't know, but you and her have hung out recently enough... so, if you think of anything concerning the matter. Both of you, please tell us." Naruto said, standing up. He lifted Neji's shoulder and walked out of the flower shop.

"Naruto, Neji..." I called, Naruto turned, but Neji just stopped walking, "I'm so sorry you guys."

Ino started crying again. Her and Hinata had gotten really close over the past year. I held her body in what I hoped was a comforting embrace, as she cried. I felt bad for not crying, because I certainly was sad, but I just couldn't. I had that lump in your throat that you get when you need to cry but the tears won't come.

I hope your happy now, Hinata chan.

Still not much happening. It's ALL Sakura's fault.... No it isn't, I just dislike her a lot.

I got lazy again, but thanks for all the reviews, you guys. ((Hugs all of you)) :)

Sorry about the shortnes. I'll make next chapter extra long!
