Chapter 3

The next day Hinata was late to class. The students were still talking about what took place just a few nights ago. Misty, who was sitting with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, unknown to Hinata, was worried.

"Where do you think she is?" Misty asked, looking around. Shino and Kiba sat at their table thinking the same thing. Their teacher entered the room, causing everybody to get quiet.

"So I see everybody but Hinata is here…" He said, as he closed the door to the room behind him. "Well, I guess we'll just start with out her…" he said as he made his way in front of the class. As he began the open his bag to pull out the days lesson, the door slid open. There stood Hinata, propped up on the door jam, weak from not eating in the last day, and showing a guilty smile on her face.

"Hinata? Are you ok?" Shino asked, standing up helping her into the room.

"Yes…" Hinata said, as she allowed Shino's assistance. "I didn't sleep well last night…" she added.

"Are you going to be ok for the day?" Their teacher asked. Hinata nodded as she sat down.

"Psst…" Misty did what she could to get Hinata's attention. "Psst… Hinata?" Misty said again. Hinata turned her head slightly in her direction. "Hey I'm going to skip class after lunch, want to come with me?" She asked with a smile? Hinata, who began to have her doubts of Misty trying to steal Naruto agreed.

At lunch Hinata met up with Misty. "You wanted me to meet you right?" she asked.

"Yeah this will work, but we need to wait for Naruto and Xavier." Misty said, and as she did Xavier wandered up. "Where's Naruto?" Misty asked him. Xavier just shook his head.

"He's not coming? That's sad, he said he was earlier… well I guess we better head out than…" Misty said. The three snuck out of the cafeteria and out of the building.

"Where are going to go?" Hinata asked. This was her first time to ever skip class.

"Dunno, I figured to the park, a nice serene place…" Misty said, as the three walked. The slinder girl folded her arms behind her head as she walked. In the park there was a large tree. Who other than Rock was standing underneath it.

"Hello, fancy seeing you hear Hinata, who are your friends?" Rock asked, with his cute guy routine.

"Hi, I'm Misty, and this is my brother Xavier." Misty said, as she put out her hand. Rock grabbed a hold of and shook softly.

"Hello, I'm Rock Lee!" he replied. He then looked at Xavier with his hand out, and Xavier simply looked away.

"You'll have to excuse him… he's a little uneasy around new people…" Misty said as she nudged Xavier softly.

"It's alright, do you know where Naruto is?" Rock asked.

"Still in class I think, he couldn't come with us." Misty said as she looked up at the sky.

"That sucks, well I'm gonna head off so I can get something to eat, I will talk to y'all later, ok?" Rock said as he walked off with wave.

"He scares me…" Xavier said quietly.

"That's rude…" Misty replied, as she hit him softly on the shoulder. The three than walked up under the tree and sat on the ground. "So…" Misty said looking at Hinata, "do you like Naruto?" she asked. Hinata blushed softly but tried to hide her emotions.

"He's a good friend…" she said softly looking at the ground. "What do you think of him?" Hinata asked.

"I like him!" Misty replied with a smile. "He asked me out to eat this Friday and … " Misty started, but Hinata didn't listen. She heard what she had dreaded. Misty liked Naruto and Naruto liked Misty back.

"Excuse me…" Hinata said, cutting off Misty.

"Is there a problem?" Misty said, slightly startled.

"Oh no, its just… well you know… being a girl…" Hinata said, trying to force a blush.

"Oh… ok!" Misty said, with a smile. "We'll be waiting!" she said as Hinata stood up and walked off.

Hinata walked into the restroom and went into one of the stalls. She stood there for a moment, furious with Misty and upset with Naruto. She had no idea what to do. Then she remembered, she had the kunai with her. Hinata pulled up the sleeve of the arm she had cut the night before and examined it. The cut had scabbed over. Hinata kept the sleeve lifted up by placing it in her mouth, and with her free hand she pulled out the kunai. She quietly placed the sharp edge of the kunai on her arm, and drug it across. Again her soft pale skin split open, revealing her crimson red blood. With a sigh she stood there, pulling the kunai up, and licking the blood off of it.

"Hinata?" a voice called out, startling Hinata, and putting her in a dangerous position. "Hinata are you ok? You've been in here for a while?" It was Misty.

"Yes… I'm fine…" Hinata said, as she pulled off some toilet paper and tried to coax her arm to stop bleeding.

"Ok… I was just wanting to check on you." Misty replied. Hinata sighed as she pulled her sleeve back down, then walked out with the guilty smile on her face again.

"Hey Misty… you don't happen to know what time it is, do you?" Hinata asked her.

"No… but it should be getting close to time for school to be letting out…" Misty said. Hinata got a worried look on her face.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go home…" she said, and with that she ran off.

When Hinata got to her house she ran into her room and buried her face into her pillow and began crying.

"Mistress?" a voice called.

"What do you want X?" Hinata asked, between sobs.

"What has upset you?" X asked, his voice full of concern.

"You wouldn't understand… it's a complex thing…" Hinata replied.

"Does it have to do with Misty and Naruto?" X asked, out of Hinata's view.

"Why do you care?" Hinata replied as she sat up, hugging her knees.

"I want to help you…" X said as he slinked into Hinata's view.

"Will you kill me then?" Hinata asked.

"That I can't do, it would be against my morals… how ever I can give you something to numb the pain…" X said as he held out his hand.

"What are these?" Hinata asked, as she examined some small leafs.

"Purple Haze…" X replied.

"That doesn't really answer my question…" Hinata started.

"Just eat it, and relax…" X said as he took Hinata's hand and placed the leafs in it. Hinata did as he said.

"They taste bad…" She said as she swallowed.

"The good part is to come…" X said as he watched. Hinata slowly got a smile on her face.

"You look funny…" she began to say, as she pointed, but as she noticed her hand, she looked at it intently. "Did you ever notice how big your hand is?" she then said, studying her hand.

"Don't worry Hinata… I'll watch over you…" X said.

A few hours later, the effects of the purple haze wore off, and Hinata came back to reality.

"How was it?" X asked, cocking his head to the side. A tear rolled down Hinata's face.

"It was a pleasurable sensation, how ever, I now only feel pleasure from pain…" She said as she picked up her kunai.

"I've watched you the past couple of times…" X said as Hinata looked at the blood crusted kunai.

"So… when I do it, the pain dribbles away with the blood…" Hinata said.

"You're a glutten for pain now… its sad looking at you like this…" X said as Hinata pulled back her sleeve. She took the kunai and split her skin for the third time. The second one bled again, as the scab was pulled away.

"I don't care…" Hinata said, licking her blood of the kunai.

"Shall I fetch you a tub full of ice, again?" X asked.

"Yes…" Hinata said. "I must win Naruto back…"

Before the end of the night, Hinata had five new slits on her arm, and had no eaten any food for a day. On the outside she was cold and tattered, on the inside she was numb and wanting. X watched curiously , as he had never seen such behavior before.

"Is there a problem?" Hinata asked, looking at X.

"Not at all…" he replied.

"Good… I want more now…" Hinata said.

"More what?" X asked.

"More of it… anything to take the pain away…" she replied.

"You will become addicted…" X said as he studied her. Suddenly Hinata lashed out at X, grabbing his shirt.

"You do not tell me what I am!" She screamed. The intense action caused her arm to start bleeding again. "SHIT!" she yelled loudly. "Now look at what you have done!" she yelled trying to make her arm stop bleeding. X pulled his hand back and gave Hinata a shocking slap.

"Come to your senses… your destroying yourself and you don't even care…" X said.

"But Naruto doesn't like me…" Hinata said as tears streamed from her face.

"You don't know that, you just know he likes Misty…" X said as he ran his hand through Hinata's hair, which had become frail from lack of nutrition. Hinata dove for X, as she began crying. X cradled her, a tear fell inside his mask. He felt for her. Hinata quickly cried herself to sleep. X calmly placed her in bed, and dashed off.

X walked up to a house, and sighed.

"Home sweet home…" he said as he entered.

"Where have you been?" A voice asked, from the darkness.

"I was out… why do you care?" X said.

"Because I'm the only one you have left…" The voice replied.

"Now your beginning to sound like mother…" X said.

"If you love her, you need to tell her…" the voice said.

"Ok 'mom' " X said as he walked off, and into his room.
