The loving one

"Kiba?"

He smiles at me. I turn away from him and continue to look around the room.

"Where am I?"

"You're in the hospital Hinata"

I look at the machines connected to me. I listen for the sounds both in here and outside. I'm in the hospital.

"What happened Kiba? I don't remember anything"

I turn to look at him. He looks like he should be the one in bed. His eyes are red and his hair is a mess. He takes one of my hands into both of his.

"Kiba? What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Wordlessly he shakes his head. Tears begin to gather in his eyes.

"I'm so sorry H-Hinata" his voice breaks. He bows his head low and his shoulders begin to shake. "I'm so sorry Hinata," he says in between his sobs.

"Kiba... What happened? Why am I here? Why are you apologizing to me?"

He wipes away his tears and looks up at me. "I put you here... I'm the reason you are in the hospital..."

I don't understand what happened. I try to remember but I can't.

"I can't believe you woke up"

I turn to him. "How long have I been asleep?"

"Six months"

This comes as a shock to me. "Six months? I've been asleep for six months?"

"You've been in a coma for six months"

As the words hit me tears begin to gather in my eyes and I feel a lump in my throat. My chest begins to feel tight and I start to gasp for air. But no matter how hard I try I can't seem to catch my breath.

I hear Kiba yell out to the nurses and doctors. He tries to hold my hand again but I push him away.

What's happened in the past six months? What happened to me? Am I sick? Was I injured? Why can't I remember? Does my family know I'm here?

A brown paper bag is hastily used to cover my mouth. I begin to breathe in and out. I look up at the person who handed it to me. He looks familiar.

"Itachi"

He smiles warmly at me. "Just keep breathing Hinata."

I do exactly that. I look towards Kiba but he's no longer there. I watch as Itachi checks my pulse and blood pressure.

"Everyone is gonna be so happy when they see you are finally awake."

(Ino's point of view)

I pull over and shut off the engine of my car. I get out and look up at the building in front of me. I walk inside and take the elevator straight to the 7th floor. I get off and walk down the hall until I reach the right door. I rapidly start knocking and don't stop until the door opens.

On the other side, I see a confused Neji. Before he has a chance to say anything I raise my right hand and slap him.

"You've got a lot of fucking nerve Neji Hyuga"

He glares at me and holds his now red cheek.

"I know you sent those fucking photos to Sai"

He stops glaring and lowers his hand with an amused smirk on his face.

"Did he like them? You know I was thinking of framing the one with you on top of me-"

"You planned this all out, didn't you?"

"I didn't plan out anything. Things just happened this way"

"Because I rejected you, right?"

"..."

"Your fucking sick Neji"

"At least I didn't cheat on my fiancee"

"But you enjoyed being the side piece right? The little bit of attention I gave you was enough for someone who has nobody-"

He grabs my arm and roughly drags me inside his apartment. He slams the door and leans me against it. He's so close. I feel my heart racing.

"You enjoyed it too Ino. You loved every minute you were with me"

"What makes you so sure?"

"Because here you are. Instead of begging Sai for forgiveness your here with me"

"I'm angry at you"

"But you still chose me"

I stare into his white eyes. They look dark despite the color. Like the way, an animal looks at its prey before it attacks.

Without thinking I grab his face and close the distance. He kisses me passionately. I feel as his hands roam my body while mine roam his.

A phone begins to ring. We reluctantly pull away. It's his phone, he picks it up.

"Hinata is awake"

(Sasuke's point of view)

I put the cigarette to my lips and light it with one hand while the other shields the flame from the wind.

"Those things will rot your lungs and kill you one day" Kakashi states.

I take a long breath in and watch as the smoke escapes through my mouth and nose. Like breathing fire. I nod my head, "they could but who's to say something else won't kill me first."

"Your mother wouldn't like it"

I smile at his words. My mother would scold me for hours if she saw me smoking. "She won't ever know."

"She probably knows more than you can imagine"

I turn to Kakashi. He's leaning against the dark brick police building. Whenever the subject of my mother comes up he always has plenty of things to say. He talks about her as if she was the greatest person he ever met.

"Can I ask you something Kakashi?"

"What is it?"

"What was my mother like when she wasn't around my father?"

"..."

He stays quiet for a couple of seconds. I only remember my mother as the dutiful wife always at my father's side despite all the hardships he gave her. It seems like Kakashi saw her differently. He saw the real her not just the mother or wife. He saw Mikoto.

"She was the friend that would come over with a get well package when you were sick. The one that would check on you when others give you space. The friend that had something to say when you tell her all the things wrong with you rather than blankly stare at you in awkward silence. She cared too much about everyone around her and when she needed it the most no one came to her side. Everyone loved Mikoto because she wasn't like everyone else. She was the girl everyone fell in love with after one conversation. She was the loving one despite her own sadness..."

He has that same distant look in his eyes.

"You wanna know something Kakashi?"

I take another drag. Hoping to release my own tension.

"What?"

I breathe out the smoke.

"...I like the way you talk about her... About mom... It's comforting because I feel like I am finally seeing the real her..."

After that, we both stay silent. Both lost in our thoughts. Not long after Suigetsu and a bunch of other officers come out. Kakashi and I watch as they pile into police cars and drive away.

They are on their way to go arrest Kiba and Sakura. It's not Naruto but its a start.

I finish my cigarette and as I step on it I hear my phone begin to ring. I take it out of my pocket. Its Itachi. I answer it.

"Hello"

"Sasuke where are you right now?"

"I'm at the police station, why?"

"Come to the hospital, Hinata just woke up"

I hope you guys like it! :) Please review and tell me what you thought!

So I'm stuck at home with nothing to do so I thought I might as well finish some of these stories I had forgotten about. This one is a personal favorite.
