Love So Sweet
Chapter 5: Over the Summer
Hinata walked home after the argument, she lay on the bed spilling silent tears into her pillow as her phone rang. After the day had passed and night had come there was a knock on the door. She hoped wit hall her heart in was him. Gail came in with a book in his hand; she had forgotten that she had a study group with him. He looked at the teary eyed Hinata and wrapped his arms around her. He rocked her back and forward until she fell asleep. Hinata whispered to him before she fell asleep, "Thank You."
Hinata woke up in a man's arms she looked over and squeaked as she realized it was Gail and not Naruto. She got up and tried to remember what happened, she remembered the argument with Naruto, the walk back to her house and how Gail had come to comfort her. She woke him up and they got ready to go to school. As they walked together she swore she heard a motorcycle streak.
The last day came; everyone was exited to see who the winner was and what he would be wearing. As the door opened the class went silent. The figure that walked in would be someone no one could forget. Naruto was wearing a black suit that was decorated with orange and red flames; he wore a black shirt under that with red sunglasses. He had his hair slicked back rather than his usual unruly spiky mess.
Hinata held her breath as he passed by. "Now class our winner was non other than Chika." A black haired girl stood up and sat back down. "Now any picture that wish to be taken after class please." After class Hinata was able to slip away while he was taking photographs. Gail met her outside the halls. "Hey how are you feeling today?" "Better thanks." Hinata realized what a caring guy he really was. "Hey Hinata." She looked up at him. "Yeah?" "Do you want to do something sometime?" She looked at him wit ha puzzled expression. "Like a date." He nodded. She thought about it over in her head. "Okay."
Hinata spent the summer hanging with her friends at the beach, and being with her boyfriend Gail. Their relationship reminded her of her relationship with her best friend, it wasn't really passionate but she was glad she had someone to talk to. He wasn't hard headed or stubborn, Gail was more of a gentleman. Every now and then she would see a yellow haired figure or a motorcycle pass by and her thought would go straight to Naruto.
She tried to get Gail to buy a motorcycle but he refused right out because they were too dangerous. She missed that adrenaline rush that she got when riding one and tried to replace it with exercise. They were sitting on Gail bed, Hinata pulled his shirt off he wasn't as well built as Naruto she thought. "Hinata I think we should do it." Hinata looked up at him. "I don't know, I don't think I'm ready Gail." She started to stand up. He pushed her back down. He looked at her. "Hey were do you think you're going, I didn't play Mr. Nice Guy for nothing."
Hinata walked in a trance, she found herself in front of Naruto's apartment as silent tears fell in with the rain. Her hand hesitated to knock on the door, she hesitated sighed and turned her back on the door. Suddenly it opened Hinata looked up at the heavenly figure as she turned around before she passed out.
Naruto caught her just in time. He pulled the slender figure close to his body as he carried her inside. For some strange reason he got off the couch and opened the door and there she stood puffy eyed and tired. The slender figure in his arms strived a little and wrapped her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder. He rubbed her back and rocked her till she fell asleep. He pulled himself from under her and grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her wet body.
Naruto left her to sleep and question her tomorrow. Hinata woke u pin her wet clothes, without thinking she went to the bathroom and took a hot shower, she felt so much better after that and wrapped herself in a towel. "Now what am I going to do about clothes." Naruto opened the door to see Hinata there he automatically turned around. "Here you need some clothes." "Thanks." "I need to ask you some stuff when you're ready." He walked out, after what seemed like hours Hinata came out in a pair of baggy shorts and long sleeve shirt with an under shirt. "Here." He handed her a bowl of cereal. After she was done eating she looked up expecting harsh eyes but instead they were more worry than anything. "I guess you want to know what happened huh." Naruto nodded. "Well Gail and I got into a fight."
A knock on the door made Hinata jump, Naruto opened the door and saw that it Gail. "Yeah" "Hey teach, I was wondering if you had seen Hinata around." "Nope, when did she go missing?" "Yesterday, when we were studying." "That's funny because Hinata has already graduated and I was sure you had too." "Well I't was for a make up test, well thanks anyway teach" Gail left without another word. Naruto looked back at her. "You guys didn't fight, why did you lie to me." Hinata backed up a couple of steps and clung on to the sleeves of her shirt. "I can't" Naruto grabbed on of her arms, Hinata flinched back in pain and pushed him away. "Stop it." She began heading for the door. "Hinata please just tell me what is going on." She turned around still clinging to the sleeves of her shirt "You wouldn't understand." Naruto watched her closely.
"Take off my shirt." Hinata looked u pat him. "What" "Take of the long sleeve shirt." "No" Naruto grabbed the sleeves on her shirt. "Take it off or it's coming off." Hinata only gripped the sleeves tighter. He grabbed the sleeves and ripped them off "Oh Jesus Christ I'm going to kill him." "No don't please." He pulled her in close and hugged her, "I'm sorry." He picked up her arm and ran his fingers over the bruises. "He tried to force me but I panicked and pushed him off, he grabbed my arms, I started crying and screaming so he let go, I grabbed my stuff and ran out, he yelled that we would finish this later on, so I ran to the only place I felt safe, here." Naruto nodded. "Get some rest it's been a long day."
Hinata nodded as she tucked her self under the blanket on the couch and fell asleep. He woke her up before 6 so that she could get a ride home. Her hands shook the whole time. "Do you want me to go with you?" She didn't answer. "Okay, move over." Hinata scooted a seat over and he hopped in. For the next couple of week Naruto made sure that Gail was nowhere near Hinata and it seemed to be working because he hadn't tried to approach her. Hinata would lie in her bed, as Naruto tried to leave for the night she would grab his shirt and as him to stay. He always replied "Yeah, I will but only for a little while.
Hinata was in the gym as she focused on her punches a figure showed up behind her. "Hey baby, haven't seen you in a while." Gail said as he approached her. "You're not supposed to be here, I don't want you anywhere near me, Leave now or I'll call security." Gail locked the door behind him and laughed. "Security is the ones who let me in, now what kind of greeting is that to your boyfriend." Gail grabbed her by the arm.
Hinata looked up at him and spit him in the face. "You wish." Gail got pissed of and tried to back hand her but Hinata dodged and punched him in the face. "Now you're pissing me of sweetie." Gail got up and grabbed Hinata by her. Hinata brought her knee up hard and slammed it between his legs. "Hinata ran to unlock the door but Gail got to her before she reached the door and pulled her down to the ground. "Don't you lay another finger on her."
Hinata pushed him off and ran to Naruto. Gail stood frozen as he saw Naruto approach him. Naruto grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to his feet. His face was centimeters away from his. "How many bruises did you give her that night?" Gail looked at him. "What?" Naruto shook Gail and shouted at him "How many!"
"I... I don... don't….know" Naruto dropped him to his feet. "Eight! You gave her eight and your going to pay with blood for each of those bruises." Naruto hit him in the face. "One down, five to go." Naruto waited for Gail to stand up but he stayed rolled up in a ball. "Get up!" Gail did respond. Naruto kicked him in the face. Blood began running out of his nose. Gail sat up. "There you blood, now let me go."
Naruto kicked him in the side. "Shut up!" Naruto looked over at Hinata, she watched Gail quiver under his adversary not even trying to hide his cowardliness. "Hinata help me, you bitch." Naruto picked him up by his collar. "Did I hear you right, look at her is her a bitch, I don't think so, now I'm going to let you go but only because I feel bad for cowards like you, but next time you come near her you will suffer a lot more than just a little nose bleed, do you understand. Gail nodded and Naruto dropped him to the ground, Gail got up and ran out the door.
Author Notes:
Thanks for the encouragement guys hope you like this chapter if you think I should throw in anything it needs just tell me. It wasn't exactly a cat fight but more of a dog cat fight and the cat won Ha-ha, but I thought it be cool if Hinata kicked someone's ass.
