Hurt

Naruto was practicing although he was badly injured from his last fight with Sasuke.

"I have to be strong! I'll fulfill the promise I made Sakura!"

Hinata was watching him from afar, sadness in her eyes.

Naruto fell down exhausted. Hinata gasped and ran to him.

"Naruto-kun! Are you alright?"

Naruto opened his eyes slowly.

"Hinata? I'm fine..."

He tried to get up but he couldn't. Hinata grabbed him and tended to some of his injuries.

"You should be in the hospital, Naruto-kun."

He snorted.

"I'm fine Hinata! I have to bring Sasuke back."

Hinata looked down.

"If you go look for him like this, you won't make it, Naruto-kun..."

Naruto relaxed a bit in her arms.

"Hinata... your hands are so soft..."

She blushed.
