Third chappie. This time is Hina-chan! Hope you like!
For the longest time, Hinata had believed that it was her fault. She had believed that it was her fault her twin had been taken. After all, Takaya had meant to kidnap her. She had been the one that the kidnappers had wanted. It had only been by mistake that Kimiko was taken. Before his fight with Naruto-kun, Neji-niisan had always told her that it was her fault. Maybe not verbally but unconsciously he had. Although he may have stopped doing it, although her parents had never blamed her for it, although Kimiko was perfectly fine and was back home, it was still her fault.
That was why she had gone to where her sister and her friends were training. That was why, when Kimiko asked her why she was there, she had bowed her head. That was why she had gotten to her knees and asked Kimiko for her forgiveness. She knew she wasn't worthy of it. She fully expected Kimiko to yell at her, to say how dare she ask for her to forgive Hinata. She fully expected that. She was prepared for that.
What she had not been prepared for was Kimiko wrapping her arms around her in a hug. She had not been prepared for her little sister to tell her there was nothing to be sorry for. She had not been prepared for Kimiko to say she was glad it was her who had gotten kidnapped, not Hinata, because they both knew that if it had been Hinata kidnapped, she would be dead. She had not prepared for Kimiko to look at her with angry tears in her eyes, and demand who had made her feel like this, like it had been Hinata's fault.
It can be noted that Team Gai, Team Dragon, and the Rookie Nine spent the rest of the day trying to stop an enraged Kimiko from burning her throughly-traumitized brother to a crisp. It can also be noted that Inuzuka Kiba spent the rest of the week in the infirmary.
