Chapter 10 A walk on the other side of life

Naruto's eyes traveled around and he was like a shy child in a candy store, or better yet a new puppy seeing it's new home, or how Hinata would describe it. She slowed down every time his knows twitched at a scent and held it, or when his eyes drifted and he became interested in something. She thought it was absolutely adorable, who wouldn't?

"HINATA!" She heard Kiba's voice call, she turned around and she felt a fist colide into her stomach and her eyes widened in pain and blood streamed from the side of her mouth and down her chin, her wound slowly reopening.

"If I couldn't kill him then I'll just do it now..." she heard a cold voice say into her ear. Her eyes narrowed slightly, the pain in her side increasing. The man tossed Hinata onto the ground and quickly stood infront of Naruto, pulling out a kunai and smirking like a madman. Naruto's lips curled back and he beared his fangs like a wolf, letting out a growl from the pits of his throat, he tried to push himself up from his chair but was still far too weak, even with Kyuubi's chakra his body would not be able to handle it in his current condition. Hinata watched in horror but pure amazement not only did a blue blur hit the man right in the face but so did Kiba who rushed to get to his comrads' side.

"I let you go but you're stupid enough to try something?" Tsunada said as the man was literaly pummled into the ground. Kiba was...snarling...yes, snarling viciously at the man but Tsunade put a hand on his shoulder and told him she could handle it. He girl felt Kiba pick her up and help her to her feet, she could only hear the man's pleads, and was hoping to god he would get a good punishment.

"Here...you need help?" Kiba asked as she gained her balance.

"Thanks but, I think I'll be okay," Hinata said with a weak grin of thanks.

"NARUTO-KUN!" Ayame called happily, franticly waving to the pair as they passed. Naruto looked over and his head tilted to the side as he looked at her but he suddenly smiled and waved back but stopped as his stomach growled.

"Come on in! We've been waiting for you to show up and we even have your favorite ramen ready!" She said with a broad grin. Hinata smiled as Naruto's expression brightened up, she had never seen him so happy, well, sense he had finally returned home.

The pair of ramen makers prepared him his meal and made a low table to fit over his legs on the wheel chair so he could reach it easily. Naruto breathed in the wonderfull smell and Hinata saw his body relax, he was really at peace. The man passed him his chopsticks and he took them, his fingers fumbling with them clumsily, he had a sad expression plastered on his face and he kept trying hopelessly.

"Here.." Hinata said, breaking them apart and sitting down next to him. She twisted some of the noodles around the utencils and held them up to his mouth. The boy was hesitant at first but then slowly took a bite and sucked in the noodles and ate them as if he hadn't had a decent meal in months, no...years. She continued to feed him and his face began to redden from eating too many noodles. After only 3 bowls he stopped, already full and gratefully smiled up at Hinata who slightly blushed. Ayame grinned at the site, Hinata beginning to take out her small purple bill-fold.

"Don't worry it's on the house," Ayame said with a small wave of her hand, "We're just glad we got our best customer back!" She said with a laugh.

Hinata awoke with a yawn and looked up at the sky...hold on...it was...sunset? Her eyes widened and she quickly sat up, so abruptly in fact she was surprised she didn't away Naruto who was sleeping, curled up with his head on her lap by her side. Her face lit up (in a blush, not a smile) at the seen. She clamped her hands over her mouth to muffle a small yelp, the fox stirred but did not wake. She sighed, glade he hadn't and gently lowered his head off her lap so she could stand. Her legs had fallen asleep and she felt awkward and almost lost her balance but thankfully didn't.

Unknown to her, 2 sets of eyes watched her, one pair an empty white, while the other a dull gold, one foe, one friend. She carefully woke the sleeping blonde and helped him into the wheel chair. It was surely almost 7 or 8 o'clock, the hospital probably wouldn't be open by the time she got back. How could she allowed herself to fall asleep at the base of a tree with Naruto in her lap in the forest? Okay, maybe they decided to take a nap and didn't wake up but oh well. Yet...what was she supposed to do with Naruto now?

After pushing through the grass in the forest and throughout a darkening Konoha she FINALLY reached the Hyuuga manor, she used her byakugan and gazed around, no sign of Hiashi...oh yes, he went on a mission almost two days ago, who knows when he would be back.

She wheeled the chair up to the front door, the wheels rubbing against the stone made an eerie echo, it felt so empty.

"Why did you bring him here?" she heard an all too familier voice question. Her body tensed and she slowly turned around, afraid to see the person standing there.
