Chapter 6: Final Destination
KNOCK
Hinata stared at the door, her eyes widened a bit. Her mouth gaped, and her heart pounded. Neji's head tilted, and he walked towards the door. She sat there, hesitating each breath, waiting to see what, and who was there.
"Hey Neji," a voice said. After Neji closed the door, it revealed Shikamaru and Temari.
Hinata shivered, a cold feeling just entered the room. She got up and greeted them with a wobbly smile.
"Are you okay Hinata-chan?" Temari asked while sitting down.
Hinata nodded, the two of them were not wet, and the weather outside looked wonderful. She sighed and turned to Neji who led them into the living room.
Panicking a bit deep inside, Hinata took in a deep breath and headed towards the living room with them.
"I'm scared," Temari said holding on tightly to Shikamaru.
"This is so troublesome…" Shikamaru said sighing.
Suddenly a picture printed out of Hinata's computer. Hinata tilted her head in curiosity and picked up a photo.
"Hey," Neji said looking at the photo, "It's all of us…But hey, we're the only ones that are wet."
"Well duh, we were swimming remember?" Temari pointed out getting up and standing next to the two.
"Swimming?" Shikamaru said, and Hinata said the same after.
They looked at the television in the room and it suddenly turned on. The Hokage which was still Tsunade-sama was panicking, "Everyone! There will be a tornado coming soon! There is one hour left for you to evacuate from all places that are on solid ground near a source of water. Well according to my research, that's exactly where it'll hit."
The TV turned off and they looked at Hinata, "Well?"
"We live on solid ground…And near a source of water…" she panicked and looked out the window, "Oh kami we're going to die!"
"Hinata don't panic, we're not going to die."
"Let's just leave," Shikamaru said irritated by his panicking girlfriend in his hands.
Hinata opened the door and sighed, saying good bye to her house she sealed it by locking the door. She turned to her friends and began to walk.
"We have a full hour," Shikamaru said, "A long boring-
"Holy shit!" Shikamaru yelled out almost being hit by some flying knife.
"where the hell did that come from?" Temari asked.
"I don't know," Hinata said, she became paranoid, seriously paranoid.
"Isn't there something you've read about this? Anything about reversing this?" Neji asked her in desperate need.
"Well, I checked and it said something about new life…But I don't get it."
"Yo," Neji turned to Temari, "Are you pregnant?"
"No!" she yelled out, turning red, "We haven't done it…yet."
"Yet!" Shikamaru yelled out, but screamed when another knife flew out of no where.
"You guys, the point…" before speaking again, she realized that they were in front of the lake near their houses. She stared at it and the small waves calmed her, "New life…I guess it's pointless." She decided to sit for a while, "We have forty-five minutes right?"
"I guess," Neji sat down next to her and so did Temari and Shikamaru.
"Like the clouds, the water is so free," Shikamaru stated with a nice smile.
"Yeah…" they looked at the water, "Do you think we'll drown?"
"Maybe Temari-chan," Hinata said nervously hugging her knees. They all looked down at their feet.
"The water feels nice…" Temari said, "Wait…how the hell did the water get all the way here…"
The all stood up as the water approached them at high speed. They rushed and ran as fast as they could. Temari tripped on a rock and the water stopped where she fell.
"Holy shit it's deep!" she squirmed and called out for Shikamaru. Suddenly the winds became strong and it rained harder.
"Okay, I don't care anymore," Shikamaru said making his fear leave him, I'm coming Temari-chan!" he swam after her and Neji held Hinata close.
"Will they be okay?"
"Maybe I should help…"
"Neji-kun…"
"I will…" he ran after Shikamaru.
"Wait I'll help too!"
"I promised Naruto that I'd stay with you, I don't want anything bad to happen to you!"
"What? I'll be fine they need-"
She noticed that the screams faded, but so did the wind and rain. Shikamaru came towards them panting and wet. He laid Temari down on the beach and started giving her air.
"Please…" he said, color came back to her cheeks. And she gasped for air, "Temari-chan," Shikamaru said smiling, "You're alive…"
Hinata and Neji smiled and they looked up into the sky. Some things were destroyed, but not many. It seems that after Shikamaru took he out of the water, everything calmed down.
"New life…" Hinata said with a wide smile, "This must be what it meant!"
The two embraced like good brother and sister and thanked God. "We're not going to die…"
They looked up at the rainbow and smiled widely. Not exactly what they expected, but as long as they were alive, it was fine.
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata said as she waited there in Neji's arms… "We're alive…"
A/N: So it's done, sorry for such a short and crappy chapter. So hard to decide whether to kill them off or not. I decided not to, and I ended up losing interest. Well it's done now, sorry if you aren't satisfied, if anyone wants me to rewrite this, I'll consider. I'll only change if you want them to die!
