I pushed myself up from the ground, my body was still wobbly…my body hasn't still recovered from the poison. As I stood there my legs shaked…my eyes were filled with tears. Why would K-Kiba go this far for me? I know he said he'd protect me…but…at the cost of his life, I won't let him. I ran forward, toward, "Kiba…Sasuke…please, s-stop this." I said.

"Stay back Hinata." Said Kiba

"But...Kiba." I said I stopped; I stood there…staring at his torn jacket spattered in his blood. I could feel a single stream of water flowing down my cheek. "Please…why are you doing this?" I asked

"I told you…a lot of time…I'll protect you, no matter what." He said, "I would've just let him off but he's gone too far this time."

"I'll love you Hinata…he is not needed to be living." Said Sasuke.

"Would you just shut up!" I shouted. I received a surprised look from both Kiba and Sasuke. "If you were to really love someone…you wouldn't want to kill the person they love the most." I said. I could feel Sasuke's stare burn into my skin. "If you love someone…you don't want to try and hurt them…or hurt people important the them." I said. "If you think y-you can make someone love you by killing all their important to them…you wrong." There was a shocked look on Sasuke's face…his eyes staring blankly blankly into my eyes. The chakra in his had slowly dissipated…the noise turned into a soft beeping by the crickets. "I would understand if you have mistaken a simple act of kindness for love…but I'm saying it now, I don't love you." I said, I looked down on the ground…the muddy mixture of dirt and blood sickened me. "Hmph….so that's how it is." Said Sasuke…his blood red eyes met my gray eyes. The chakra collected in his hand once more…"You just added another person…a person that I'll need to kill." He said. Fear pierced into my body, I tried to stay steady. "Hinata move!" shouted Kiba as he ran toward me. Sasuke threw some kunai pinning his jacket to the tree behind him. He grunted as he tried to break free from the restraints. "Hinata!" shouted Kiba. Sauske started running after me, if I run…he'll kill Kiba, if I don't run, there is a chance that we both will survive…or at least Kiba. Kiba struggled there…stuck to the tree, "Run away Hinata!" said Kiba. I stood there, "You're always protecting me Kiba…if I run, he'll kill you." I said, "This time…I'll stay and protect you." Sauske came closer, I tried moving my body…it ached from the poison…it ached from the trauma. I slowly looked back at Kiba…I could feel Sasuke coming closer; I could hear Kiba screaming…my body wouldn't move…it stood there frozen. The poison was affecting me again, I couldn't move. Sasuke came closer and closer then he came and hit my side, blood spattered on the ground. I fell…landing in a pool of blood, my muscles wouldn't move…my eyelids became heavy…I could barely hear Kiba…I could barely see Sauske standing at my body. His cold eyes staring at me, his eyes beating down on me. Had he hit a vital spot…was I going to die here? If I did die…I have no regrets. Days Later I opened my eyes, Where was I? My vision was still blurry, I could saw two doors. As I kept my eyes open, my vision became clearer. I could recognize this room; it was similar to the rooms that I visited often. I remember…it's one of the Konoha hospital rooms! I looked around…I was in a one person room. The fragrant scent of lilies came from the desk on my left. I looked down on the bed sheets…there were several brown hairs and some white hairs. Kiba came…so did Akamaru. I looked outside the window, the sun shone cleanly through the windows, warming the air inside giving the room a cozy feel. Flash backs came back of the fight…my eyes plainly stared into the light. I got up and walked to the door, there was a slight pain in my side but I continued to move forward. I stopped at the door…Should I go out? I reached out to open the door, then the door opened be fore I could open it. It was Neji, "Hinata-sama…are you suppose to be standing now?" he asked. I didn't answer; my eyes stared at my feet. "C'mon…sit down." He said and led me to the bed. "I heard what happened from Naruto." He said. "About you, Kiba, and Sasuke." He continued. I continued to look down, seeing Kiba's hair. He continued explaining things…I ignored him. "Please…N-Neji." I said.

"I promise I'll get Sasuke for what he did." He said

"No…please stop." I said.

"No, it is my job as a Branch Family member to protect Main Family members…I knew I should have come with you guys." He said.

"No…p-please…stop this f-fighting." I said. There was new look on his face. "Where is Kiba?" I asked. The look on his face changed, "Why do you want to see him?" he asked. I didn't answer once more. "You know…I don't think Hiashi-sama would allow such a." he said…I stopped him. "Just…p-please…tell me where he is." I said. The look on his face was unchanged. "Fine." He said. It seems he got softer…ever since the Chunin Exams. He led me out of the room and into the hospital hallway. He led me to the reception desk, "Can we please see Inuzuka Kiba?" he asked the receptionist.

"Sure, come this way." Said the woman. She picked up some keys and led us into the stairway. She led us down, where were they keeping Kiba? We went through a door saying "Emergency Care". My heart was thumping…we were led to an iron door. The lady handed me the key, "We'll go wait outside." Said Neji. He signaled the receptionist to leave and wait with him. I walked toward the door; there was a rack with a tan folder in it. I opened it…it had Kiba's medical examination in it. It read:

Conditions:

loss of blood(critical)

torn muscles(critical)

ruptured blood vessels(critical)

broken bones(critical)

Chance of survival: 38

I couldn't read anymore…the folder dropped to the floor scattering all over the floor. I looked down…chance of death: 15.chance of death: 10...even though he seems to have gotten better…it's my entire fault. I fixed the papers and put them back in the folder…one caught my eye, it read:

Doctor's Notes:

-lock doors, keeps wandering around

-tie to bed, to keep from getting up

-monitor every 5 min.

This document saddened me more…should I go inside? I put the key in the door; unlocking it…I could hear a struggling in the room. "Let me out of here!" shouted Kiba, "I need to see Hinata!" I slowly opened the door, showing my face. I finally saw him…he was tied to bed. "Hinata!" he shouted. There was an increased beeping noise. I slowly walked toward him, "Why Kiba?" I asked him. There was a soft look on his face. I walked forward to kneel down beside him, tears dampened my cheeks. "K-Kiba…why?" I asked. The look on his face. "Heh…you're stuttering again Hinata." He sad with a smile.

The End

Was that a crappy ending or what? I myself didn't think it was too good but I hope you like it. Thank you everyone for reading this story and I will say it now and once…there will be a sequel. But I will start thinking/writing it up sometime in the distant future. Just to satisfy your hunger for stories try reading Running Water by me and the new Hinata-centered story…Pressured by me. I know I haven't published Pressured yet but it will be up soon! For those who are wondering it is about Hinata (who would've thought!)Who is constantly pressured by the weight of being a head family member. After she has reached she runs away from Konohagakure and becomes an A-Rank Missing Ninja (because Konoha doesn't want her Byakugan to get into enemy hands). As she wanders through-out the world she meets new friends and enemies…especially one guy who is a Rock-nin that changers her life. Everything goes well until old acquaintances catch up with her and puts her life back into mayhem. Well…sayonara and once again…thank you for reading: A New Hinata by: Kiba-kun357
