CHAPTER 6 – Where to Go

The moon could be seen on the sky. It was beautiful. But a young woman didn't use her time to enjoy this beautiful scenery. Though the view could be seen clearly from her window.

Hinata Hyuuga was lying on her bed with her back upward. She her head on her pillow. Naruto's image kept coming to her head. And it hurted her heart even more.

She turned her body, facing the ceiling. She stretched her right hand, looked at it.

"If this hand can with Naruto's hands……"

She touched her face.

"If this face can be the only thing that Naruto want to see……"

She wrapped her arms around her body.

"If this person can stay in Naruto's side forever……"

She touched her lip.

"If this lip can-"

She suddenly blushed.

She placed her hand on her chest.

"If this heart can be one with Naruto's heart……"

She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

………………………

Hinata opened her eyes. It seemed like it was already noon. The sun was up in the sky, shining brightly. Hinata looked over the window.

She stood up from her bed and walked towards the window. Her longing eyes seemed to be looking for something. She opened her window and suddenly jumped out the window. She landed on her feet and took a few steps forward. She turned her head, saw her bedroom's window. Thinking, that it should be closed. But she turned again, and left from her house.

Meanwhile………

"Why does Hinata fall in love with that noisy brat?!" Hiashi, as he walked trough the corridor with Neji.

"I know that you think he's not suit for Hinata. I think of the same thing. He definitely doesn't deserve Hinata." said Neji. He seemed to be calm but you could sense anger in his voice.

"And he has hurted Hinata! He's going to pay!" babbled Hiashi.

They finally reached their destination, Hinata's room. They knocked her door.

"Hinata…" called Neji, gently.

"Can we talk to you?" asked Hiashi.

One minute passed and there was no answer.

"Is she mad at us?" whispered Hiashi to Neji.

"Maybe she's still not ready to speak up," said Neji.

Hiashi sighed. He leaned his head onto the door and closed his eyes.

Then he started to hit his head onto the door.

"Hiashi-san! Please stop! You shouldn't hurt yourself," said Neji.

"Oh, okay," said Hiashi. "Hmm, I'm sorry, Hinata. I just disturbed you, right?"

There was still no answer.

A terrifying thought came to Neji' and Hiashi's head. What if Hinata's sick and pass out, or, even worse……

They looked at each other. And then they quickly turned their head again, facing the door.

"Hinata!" said them as they opened the door.

But there was nobody there.

………………………

Hinata was taking a walk. She wandered on the streets of Konoha. She didn't know where to go. Anywhere, as long as there was no Naruto.

She arrived in a park. Konoha's biggest park. It was a huge park with 4 swings, 3 slides, and 5 benches. Tall trees around it made the air felt really fresh. She looked around and the memories of the past came to her.

Flashback

Second graders of Konoha Ninja Academy went to Konoha park. Their new teacher, Arena-sensei, was a kind and generous woman. She treated all of her students on a picnic. After school, they gathered on the school yard and walked together to the park.

When they arrived at the park, these cute little kids ran to every direction, expressing their happiness (Arena-sensei: "Please be careful! Ah! Chouji! Please don't-"). Well, not all of them. Two cute little boys didn't think that running all over the place was necessary (one of them think that it's not necessary, while the other think that it's too troublesome).

Shikamaru said his famous quote,"How troublesome."

Sasuke sighed. Thinking, when will these kids stop running and how long will he have to wait to enjoy the delicious food that sensei brought.

The kids finally stopped running. They sat on a wide piece of fabric. And then they ate. Those deeeeelicious foods attacked their stomach! These kids ate like they haven't eat anything for a whole week.

After that, some started to run all over the place again and some were to full until they couldn't do anything except laying on the ground.

Little Hinata Hyuuga pulled sensei's cloth on her waist, since little Hinata's height wasn't higher than an adult's waist.

Hinata: "Sensei, can I go to the lake? I wanted to see the fishes."

Sensei, who was busy watching over the kids that were running everywhere, answered,"Oh, okay, but please be careful. I'll catch up with you as soon as possible."

So, Hinata walked towards the lake behind the trees. She knelt down and saw many colourful little fishes swam.

"How cute! Can I take them home?" thought Hinata.

Suddenly,

"BAAA!"

"KYAA!"

Ino and Sakura were trying to surprise Hinata by hiding behind the bushes and shouted. It did succeed, but it made hinata stood up in a sudden and lose her balance. She fell into the lake.

The lake was deep, even for adults. Hinata's body were drifted to the bottom of the lake. Hinata could only think, was she going to die?

Then, she saw something swam towards her.

"What is that?"

That thing came closer and closer. All that Hinata knew, this thing was orange.

………………………

Hinata slowly opened her eyes. And then, she saw something orange. It was Naruto. She blushed a little.

"Sensei! She's awake!,"shouted Naruto.

"OH! Thank goodness!" blessed Arena-sensei.

Hinata looked around. She was laying on the ground and her body was totally wet.

"Oh yeah, I drowned," thought Hinata.

She looked around again and saw Ino and Sakura. They were crying.

"Oh, H-Hinata, w-we-we're s-s-sorry,"they said.

Hinata could only gave them a weak smile, trying to say that she's alright.

"I'm glad you're okay Hinata,"said Naruto.

Hinata blushed again. Even though that day she didn't know why she blushed.

"Are you the one who saved me?" asked Hinata.

"Yeah, it's not hard to pull you up. You're so light," said Naruto.

"T-thank you… Naruto-kun," said Hinata sheepishly.

End of Flashback

She walked through the trees. Behind was a beautiful wide lake. Around the lake was a border made of cement. It was made a few days after Hinata drowned there. Every parents in Konoha sure don't want their child die drowning.

Hinata jumped over the border. She looked at the lucent water below her.

"If that happened again… If I drown again… Will Naruto come and save me?"

She closed her eyes. She let herself fell into the water. She sank to the bottom of the lake. Water entered her lungs. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

"He's not coming……"

But then, she saw something came towards her.

"Is it… Naruto?"

………………………

Hinata opened her eyes. She could saw something… white. It was the ceiling. She thought that she was in the hospital. But when she looked to her right, there were a bookcase, standing on the corner of the room, and in front of her was a closet. This room is tidy but it didn't look like a hospital room.

"Naruto……" whispered Hinata.

"Oh, you're awake."

Hinata was surprised. There was someone on her left side. She turned her head.

"It doesn't sound like Naruto's voice…" thought Hinata.

It was Sai.

"Oh! Sai-kun! Umm, did you bring me here? Where is this?" asked Hinata.

"Yes," answered Sai, "I was walking by the park when I saw you. I wanted to ask you something so I followed you. But then you seemed to lost consciousness and then you fell into the lake."

"I'm, I'm sorry… for causing you so much trouble," said Hinata.

"No, it's fine," said Sai.

Hinata got up from the bed and bow her head. She felt ashame for causing trouble to Sai. Then, she realized something.

"My clothes……" said Hinata.

"Oh, I changed your clothes after I brought you here. It was so wet so I lend you mine," said Sai.

"Ah…… NOOOOO!" shouted Hinata.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Sai.

"You, you shouldn't do that! Man are not suppose to see woman's body if they're not married!" blurted Hinata.

"Oh, I'm sorry," said Sai.

Hinata bowed her head.

"Oh, no… I know that Sai did it with good intention, but, I want Naruto to be the first person that see my body…"

Sai noticed that Hinata seemed to be upset.

"Uh… Do you want to eat together with me?" asked Sai.

"Eh?"

"Well, I've read in a book that when there's a friend that's feeling sad you can treat him or her on a dinner to cheer them up. Especially if the friend loves to eat," said Sai.

"My hobby's not eating…" thought Hinata, "But he's trying to comfort me, so I guess it's okay."

"Well, if you don't mind," said Hinata.

"Yes, let's go to a restaurant nearby," said Sai.

They walked together to a restaurant and ordered some food.

At the meantime,

Naruto: "Why are we going to this restaurant? Why don't we go to the ramen restaurant?"

Kiba:"Ramen, ramen, always ramen! I'm bored with ramen you know! Let's have something else for tonight."

Sasuke:"Ck ck ck ck."

Naruto:"Eeehh…"

Lee:"Don't be so sad, Naruto-kun! Let's enjoy our youth!"

These four boys entered the restaurant. They sat around a round table on the corner.

Kiba:"Now lets order! Hmm, waitress! I want this steak, pronto."

Sasuke: "Hmm…" (looking at the menu)

Naruto:"No ramen!" (looked at the menu in disbelief)

Lee:"Oh, it all look delicious!"

While they were waiting for their food, they chatted about their new missions.

Sasuke:"Oi, Kiba. Kiba!"

Kiba:"Oh, sorry. I was looking at that beautiful young lady over there. I've never seen her before. Where do you think she came from?"

Sasuke:(sighed) "Don't know, don't care."

Kiba looked around again.

Kiba:"Hey! Isn't that Hinata! She's with Sai."

The others turned their head and saw them.

Naruto:"What?"

Note: Sorry for waiting long. Another chapter!

Arena-sensei is my own made character. I choose the name randomly. Hua ha ha.
