I'm lame so I'm actually already continuing. Besides, I already got a review, (Can you imagine my shock?)
Hinata awoke in a dry narrow alley with tall brick walls reaching far above her bowed head. By the sun it was either late morning or early afternoon, and the sound of large rumbling machines passed by every few seconds. "W-w-where am I? Ki-k-kiba-kun? Shi-shino-kun? Are you guys here?" She called softly into the area, slowly leaning forward to see beyond a dumpster not far from where she sat. There was a sharp pain in the back of her head, and she gave a quiet hiss as she reached toward the back of her head and felt something slick yet sticky there. 'I must have bashed it on the way here, wherever here is.' she thought, oddly calm.
Standing carefully, and bracing herself on the wall incase she was concussed, she dusted her jacket and shorts with hands so shaky they were vibrating, carefully making sure her shuriken and kunai were well hidden. Looking around in the shady area again she looked around another dumpster to see what exactly was making the loud noises.
"WAH!!!!" Hinata screamed, jumping backward in fright of the massive metal boxes that gleamed in sunlight, hurtling down the extremely well paved road at incredible speeds. Landing ungracefully on her bottom she backed away from the entrance to the ally, scooting along until she hit the wall behind her. Beside her she head a loud creaking noise, and her head snapped around.
"What's goin' on back here?! I warn you! I can kick your butts in no time flat! C'mon! Oh, hey! Who're you, chick? You don't look like a hobo or nothin'..." Said a girl, standing in a green doorway leading to the inside of the ally wall. "I was just working my shift and heard a scream, usually that means some idiot decided to sleep here the night! Sorry for yelling." And with a nervous laugh the girl placed a hand behind her head, tangling fingers in mouse brown hair that fell in slight tangles halfway down her back. When she opened her eyes from her nervous squint, she looked at the stranger in her boss's ally.
Short-cropped black hair, yellow jacket that looked like it'd just gotten out of a tight synch, but may be very pretty if washed, gray shorts that reached just below the knee, and odd sandals that didn't cover the toes. Wide, white eyes.
'Wow, I think she's blind. AND OH!! SHE'S BLEEDING!!'
"Are you alright? Did someone attack you? Is that why you were yelling? Can you see? Are you blind?" A flood of questions came pouring from the girl's mouth as she hovered over the stranger, bleeding from the back of the head. 'Oh no, whatdoIdo? WhatdoIdo? I gotta call somebody; I gotta get her some help! Oh jeez, oh jeez, oh jeez!!'
Meanwhile Hinata looked at the girl in a green apron with glazed eyes. She knew roughly what the girl was saying, English was a common trading language, and Hyuugas in particular were expected by the head of the clan to know it, but Hinata had no idea where she was, the strange metal monsters on the street were the final hit to her mind saying, none too quietly, YOU ARE NOT AT HOME, HINATA.
Vaguely she realized she was going into shock, but at the moment she really couldn't think clearly to focus on how to stay conscious, so she just looked at the girl who was now saying something about phones and to stay put for a few minutes. Ambulance? Okay Hinata knew what the medical cart was, she could handle that...
Then, a loud siren was heard quickly approaching their vicinity. Hinata clapped her hands over her ears and began to scream as its loud wail pierced her eardrums and made her brain thrum with pain. The working girl was shocked, and immediately attempted to calm the hysterical dark haired girl. "Over here!! In this ally!" The brunette cried out to the street, and with a screech the screaming machine halted and medics in brilliant white and blues rushed out of its back compartment.
Hinata felt their arms around her, just as she passed out.
Hinata woke in the ambulance, sirens muted by layers of plastic and metal. Blurry figures rose into her vision as the paramedics rushed her to the hospital. One of the faceless men began to speak to her, "...Darlin'.... Stay....'Wake...Don't. ...Sleep." Were some of the few words she could hear though the thrumming in her ears. Where were her teammates? What happened to her sensei? Was she all alone?
Maddie remembered the ride to the hospital very well. The mousy small girl was wringing her hands into her shop apron all the way there. She'd only been at work for an hour and a half when she'd heard a scream out back in the alleyway behind the corner store she worked the register at. Of course, against all policy she ran out back immediately to deal with whichever hobo was trying to sneak around back there, again. So she was very surprised indeed when it was just a small girl around thirteen or fourteen sitting against the wall, shaking like a small leaf only just able to stay on the tree in frigid fall winds.
She had laughed embarrassed, right before realizing that the girl was bleeding, was probably blind, and obviously scared out of her wits. Then the girl had started zoning out, and Maddie'd finally called 911.
The entire ride had been tense, waiting, hoping really, that the girl would wake. When she finally did, one of the male medics kept her awake for the rest of the ride, but in the middle of one of his sentences, she just began to cry. Silent tears that crept down her cheeks like flawless pearls, the medic then saw her milky crème colored eyes. Startled, he shouted to the driver that she was blind.
Then they were there, at the hospital.
Maddie strode next to the doctor as he pushed the cart the girl, again unconscious, was on into a room. "You and your friend are lucky, miss. The hospital hasn't been so empty in a long while. As long as she has a way to pay, we can have her out and about as soon as she wakes up."
Maddie choked for a moment. Then resolve hit her features. "She's not my friend, Doctor..." Maddie glanced at the doctor's nametag, pitifully at her eyelevel, "Guerra. I found her in the ally behind where I work. As for payment, I'm paying for her. Here's my credit card, where's the magnetic strip?" She said, whipping out her visa and pointing at the door to the room.
"You don't know her?" He asked, blatantly surprised.
"No. I have no idea who she is! But she's blind, and her head is bleeding. I'll pay for her bills, so stop asking questions and fix her!" She growled. The doctor sighed and pointed at the door.
"Turn right at the door, follow the signs to the desk. Tell the registrar that you're paying for the blind ambulance girl. She'll take your card. Now I have work to do."
With a huff, Maddie stalked out of the room, fist clenched and mind whirring over the oddity her life has thrown her way. She paid quickly, and then sat down outside the girl's door to wait, first for her parents, then for the girl to wake up.
Yeah. That's where it ends for now. I'll have more later, I suppose. I'll also say now that it doesn't look like the chapters are going to be very long, so I'll try to update often. K? Oh, and about the world Hinata is now it: It's a lot like the world we live in today, only technology is far beyond what we have now. You know, like holograms are very common, but so is a regular car. Yeah. Screwy, but oh well, JA!
