But she doesn't...
( Sasuke's point of view )
I grip the vase of sunflowers in my right-hand tighter, I open the door in front of me and walk in. The same presence as last time welcomes me. I set the new flowers on the nightstand, and throw away the old ones.
I walk to the chair that's on the right side of the bed and sit down, I look at the bed and see Hinata laying peacefully there. I grab her right hand and hold it with both of mine. It has been 2 months and Hinata still hasn't woken up...
Most of her family have already given up on her ever waking up, they don't visit her as much anymore. Hanabi is busy with her own life and Neji is busy taking over the company, so they don't visit often. I always find time to visit her.
I still haven't returned to the office, I work from home. I fixed up the building were Konohamaru and his friends live, I make sure they go to school now. I even installed a camera on the front porch just in case anyone ever needs footage from that view.
Nothing new has been found in the case, it's starting to run cold. I think they might close it and say it was a random mugging. Naruto is going to get away with it... I don't even know what to do anymore... I showed Konohamaru an audio of Naruto's voice but they claim it wasn't his they heard that night... I don't know what I'm going to do...
"Hey, Hinata... I'm sorry I couldn't come yesterday... I was busy with a client" I say while looking at her face. She's still paler than usual, she still looks sick. I look away from her face and look at her hands, I run my thumb over her knuckles.
"I wish you would wake up soon and tell us the truth about what happened to you... I wish you would wake up and tell them Naruto did this to you..." I say looking back at her face. I keep looking at her face, I keep expecting her to open her eyes and smile at me or blush. But she doesn't...
"You know, Itachi tells me how he wants to ask Hanabi to marry him..." I say changing the subject. I look down and chuckle, "Who would have thought... Our siblings would ever even meet let alone be in a relationship..." I whisper then look up at her again.
"But... He's not going to, he knows that Hanabi would want you there..." I whisper toward the end. "God Hinata... how long are you planning on worrying all of us... Why won't you just wake up," I say looking at her wanting her to answer. But she doesn't...
"What am I supposed to do if you don't wake up Hinata..." I whisper looking at her, waiting for her to give me any sort of response even a negative one, but I get none. "What am I supposed to do Hinata..." I whisper feeling tears coming to my eyes, I keep my eyes on her face.
"What am I supposed to do?" I say a little louder still looking at her for a response but, I don't get one. "What am I supposed to do!" I scream hoping she hears me and moves. But she doesn't... I stand up suddenly and grab the vase of flowers and throw it to the ground in rage.
I look at the glass as it breaks into a million pieces, and see the flowers on the ground. I look at the glass for a couple of seconds and see red drops fall to the ground, I look at my hand and see blood dripping from it.
I look back at Hinata and see she hasn't moved, she's still in the exact same place she was moments ago and the same place she was 2 months ago. Then a memory flashes through my mind, I look down at my hand, and remember when she bandaged it up.
She told me to be careful that she won't always be there to bandaged my wounds, that I should take care of myself and not to get into fights. I look back at her and then for the first time in a while I let myself break and be weak.
I walk towards her and lay next to her. I wrap my arms around her and I start to cry. I cry hoping that she will wrap her arms around me and tell me everything is okay. Hoping that she will wake up and whisper comforting words to me, hoping that she would just wake up. But she doesn't...
After my visit with Hinata, I go back home, I open the door to my apartment and walk in. I hear a noise coming from the inside, I walk to the living room and see Itachi there with, someone else?
I walk in closer and see one of my old childhood neighbors. I smirk, "Wow, I'm surprised your still alive Kiba, I always thought some pissed off husband would have killed you by now for messing around with their wife," I say joking then pat him on the back.
He starts laughing, "I'm not going to lie, I have come closed too many times for my comfort," he says joking. I chuckle, I sit down on the couch next to Itachi while Kiba sits in the one seater on the side.
"I found him in the store trying to peek into the woman's dressing rooms and brought him back here," Itachi says and starts laughing. "I wasn't peeking!" Kiba claims with a small blush on his face. I chuckle, then we all start to catch up with each other.
About 3 hours later, while I was still talking to Kiba and Itachi I hear the doorbell. I get up and walk toward it, I open the door and see Konohamaru. "Oh Konohamaru, I didn't know you were coming today," I say when I see him, he smiles at me.
"I'm actually coming back from a job... But I need to use the washroom," he says then starts to do a little dance keeping his legs closed. I open the door wider and let him in, he runs to the bathroom, I chuckle.
I go back to the living room and see Itachi and Kiba standing up. When Kiba sees me he smiles apologetically, "Sorry Sasuke but I got to go," he says. "Yeah, he has to go a peek in the women's shower room," Itachi says then starts laughing, I chuckle.
Kiba glares at him, "No! I just need to go take care of some business" he says. "Sure you do," I say. Itachi and I walk him toward the front door, "Oh I almost forgot" Kiba says and pulls out a piece of paper and pen, he scribbles some numbers on it and hands it to me.
"That's my number maybe we can hang out for a drink some time," he says, I smirk at him. "Yeah I'll call you," I say, then Kiba leaves. Itachi and I walk back toward the living room, I stop when I see Konohamaru leaning against the wall next to the living room entry, he's looking down.
I walk toward him, he looks pale almost as if he's seen a ghost. I start to get worried, is he feeling sick or something? "Konohamaru is something wrong?" I ask him. He looks up at me, he looks scared. "S-Sasuke..." he says. I grab his shoulder, "Konohamaru whats wrong? tell me" I say.
He swallows a lump in his throat, "S-Sasuke that guy that was just here..." he whispers. "Yeah Kiba, what about him?" I ask starting to get really curious and worried at the same time. "His voice... it's the one I heard on the day Hinata's body was dumped..."
