Forced
Chapter 6
Hinata was holding back her tears while she was running towards the emergency room. She was good at doing that cause she had been doing it almost all her life. But she wasn't sure if she could hold it back when she entered the room. From afar, she saw Sakura came out from the emergency room. Before she managed to call her, Sakura had already left for another case. ' Why is she living? She's already treated him or is it……………'
Hinata burst into the room. She was panting but what she saw in front of her took her breath away. On the bed was a body covered with white cloth up to the face. Hinata took a few steps before she went limp and knelt to the ground. " No..no… it can't be him. No," she broke down and cried her heart out. Hinata was kneeling on the ground; hands around her mouth and tears were streaming down her face . Suddenly, she felt someone kneeling next to her but she was to sad to care. She thought it must be Shizune-sensei trying to comfort her. "Hinata……," a familiar voice called her name very gently.
Hinata looked up instantaneously. Kneeling besides her was her future husband, Neji with a concern look on his face. Hinata was speechless but she knew one thing; he's alive. " Neji," she managed blurted and hugged him. Again, she was crying but not because of sadness. Neji was surprised but he hugged her back. Both of them stayed that way for a while. When Hinata let Neji go, she said between sobs, " I saw the body so I thought you were dead. Shizune-sensei told me you're in this room so I though.. I though…." Neji listened and when Hinata stopped, he cupped her face and used his thumbs to wipe away her tears. Hinata had already stopped crying. " I never thought you care this much for me," Neji whispered as he pulled his hands away.
At this time, Hinata had regained herself back. She was blushing and realized what she did was stupid and embarrassing. Hinata stood up followed by Neji. Hinata was about to went outside when Shizune entered the room. " Are you ok Hinata? You ran away when I told you Neji was here, with his injured man, although I didn't managed to finish the story….." Hinata blushed. " I know everything now. I'm sorry I acted that way. I was just ….," Hinata couldn't go on. " Worried… I know…," Shizune said gently. " Everything is taken care of except Neji here. He refused to be treated until his man were treated first. Can you treat him Hinata," Shizune asked although from the way she said it, Hinata had no choice but to do it. " Yes.." Shizune left. Hinata brought Neji to a treatment room to treat him there.
Shizune met Sakura on her way to treat a patient. " How's his condition," Shizune asked regarding Neji's man who was admitted for serious internal bleeding. Sakura nodded her head. " He's stable for now. But he's under observation." Shizune nodded. Sakura looked around. " I thought Neji was here? He could use some treatment too." Shizune chuckled. " Already taken care of." Sakura tilted her head. Then she saw the glint in Shizune's eyes. " Oh… I see! Well, no one suits better for the job isn't it?." Shizune nodded and gave Sakura a smile before leaving her. " Lucky Neji ne," Sakura mumbled to herself and continued her job.
