Chapter 5
Hinata knew everything is for real now. Everyone in the Hyuuga mansion is busy preparing for the wedding. She knew she could never back out of it. The woman was the busiest of them all though Hinata don't know what is it that kept the m running around. She still worked at the hospital as usual. Tsunade-sama only permit her to have two days off. One day before the wedding and the wedding day. Her father was quite disappointed with the decision but when Hokage-sama said they need her at the hospital, he backed down. Although Hiashi refused to say it, he knew Hinata is a very important medic nin to Konoha Hospital. Inside, he was proud of her.
Since the day Neji gave her the engagement ring, she never saw him again. Neji was out on a mission. And all the time, Hinata prays for his safety, for her future husband's safety. " Please come back to my side safely….," that was the words she keep repeating every night before she went to sleep.
Hinata was at the hospital, in a treatment room. She was treating a 10 year old boy called Takeshi who was sitting at the edge of the bed while Hinata looked over his wound.. The boy was a very naughty one. Always come to the hospital. Cuts, bruises, broken arm and all other things that a 10 year old could come up with. Often, it was Hinata who treated him since the boy would piss the hell out of Sakura and the others. While she was cleaning his wound, the boy asked her. " Is it true, your getting married, Hinata-sensei?." Hinata smiled and nodded. " With Neji-san? The head of ANBU?." Hinata nodded while her hands carefully bandaged the wounded place. Hinata stood up to keep all the tools away.
Takeshi said, " I think both of you make a great couple. You're sweet and nice while he's smart and strong. That's great ya know…" Hinata sat next to the boy. " You think so? You're right! He is a smart and strong person..," Hinata smiled but her smile quickly faded away. " But I'm not sure about the great couple part, Takeshi-kun…" Takeshi looked up and saw Hinata's sad face. He jumped from the bed and groaned when the pain hit him. But he was standing in front of Hinata, hands on his waist. " I think you make a great couple. As long as you like each other, what others think won't matter," he announced. Hinata was taken aback by the boy outburst. But she let out a smile. " Thanks Takeshi-kun…" Takeshi nodded and left the room with a wave. " If only things were that easy….."
Shizune suddenly burst into the room without any warning. Her face was serious. " Neji's team is back," she announced. Hinata quickly stood up. " What? Where is he now," she said while smiling. The day she had been waiting for. " In emergency room 2…," Shizune's voice began to slow down. Hinata's face turned pale. All the life was sucked out of her. Before Shizune could say or do anything, Hinata was already out of the room, running towards the emergency room. " Neji………."
