I was always wondering, should this be under horror? It has blood, my friend told me it should be under horror, I disagree. It's not that horrorific (is that a word..? oO)
I haven't been getting any real support and if this goes on, I might stop writing. So with that said…
PLZ R&R!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------------
Oblivious to her inner turmoil, Kiba was frantically calling for help and searching for a way to lower Hinata's temperature. In ten minutes, it would rise to 102°F, and in half an hour, she could be dead.
"Let go of my cousin Kiba, I'm warning you…"
A low, menacing voice spoke to Kiba as Neji appeared in the middle of the Uzimaki living room.
"Get away, Kiba, this is your last warning…"
"Neji-sama?! Why are you here? How did you know?"
Neji looked at him like he was a complete idiot.
"I sensed her chakra, baka! Have you learned nothing?"
Kiba bowed his head in shame, of course! Neji was leader of the ANBU and Hinata, heir of the Hyuuga clan, was his cousin. He'll never hesitate to kill anyone who threatened his cousin in a physical or emotional way. And in this case, it seemedas if it was Kiba's fault.
"I..i'm sorry, Neji-sama. I will never speak out of my station again."
"Very good. Now step aside."
Kiba, trusting Neji to take good care of Hinata, stepped off to the right of Neji. He gently picked up Hinata and held her bridal style.
"I will leave now. Report to the hospital later for information."
"Yes, Neji-sama."
With that, Neji disappeared, leaving green elodea leaves in his wake. Keiko turned to Kiba with a questioning look on her face.
"Is it just him, or are all Leaf ninja either a chatterbox, an idiot or a blue-blooded freak?"
I heard that.
Neji's cold voice rang out in the eerie silence. Keiko blanched and ran into the kitchen. She came out holding a small package.
"Give this to Hinata-san when she wakes up. I will stay here and take care of Naruto. Good luck!"
Kiba nodded and ran through the door.
--------------------------------
I was levitating. An invisible being picked me up and I was flying through the infinite darkness. I couldn't see or touch whatever was holding me. It felt like a force, just a thing that was there, but not really there. Abruptly, the "thing" stopped. Then I was falling into a bottomless pit with the same voices surrounding me again, falling, and alone.
--------------------------------
"We need to surround her with ice packs first, it'll bring her temperature down. The doctors and Tsunade-sama will be here shortly."
A nurse explained that since it's been really peaceful around Konoha lately, they had been allowed to go early. The nurses could usually take care of a scratch or a bad sprain. Now the doctors would have to be called back for the Hyuuga heiress. The nurse scurried out of view ad into the hospital room.
----------------------------
It's finally happened. She's finally been broken down. This was coming for years, but she couldn't hold up anymore today. It hasn't been so long since that day. She has to live, or I will kill the responsible person myself.
"Hyuuga Neji, am I right?"
I shifted uncomfortably, how does Sakura stay in a place like this all day? So full of death and sickness.
"Yes, doctor."
"Your cousin, whom we are attending to, is Hyuuga Hinata, yes? Her condition is being stabilized. Tsunade-sama has sent her apprentice and Shizune-san here. As for her medical history, she has been here before for almost the same reasons. Do you have any idea why?"
I struggled to contain his feelings, it wouldn't do any good to let the doctor know what really happened. I pulled a grim smile on my face.
"No, I was not there."
"Ah, then I will be leaving now. Good-night."
"Doctor?"
"Yes?"
"When will I be able to see her?"
"Shizune-san will inform you, as for me, I do not know. Good night now, Neji-san."
With that, the doctor left. I sighed and returned to my seat in the main lobby. I had just sat down when Kiba rushed in.
"Is she alright? Where is she? What happened?!!!"
I gave him his best glare as I observed the hysterical man. Kiba, suddenly self-conscious, coughed and wiped that sweat from his brow.
"Er…um..I am sorry for my behavior, Neji-sama. It will not happen again…"
Iwas just about to rebuke him when a single tear found it's way down Kiba's cheek. Kiba, noticing the wetness, paled and hurriedly wiped it out of sight.
"It's ok, Kiba. There is no need to always act so formal, I was just worried about my cousin."
"Er..um…(A/N: WAUGH….what's w/ the er and the um??) if you say so, Neji-sama. May I ask a question…..sir?"
Apparently, I had been too harsh on him. He never calls anyone "sir" except when they really scare him.
"It's about Hinata, right? It's a long story, and it won't be pretty. Are you sure you're ready for it, Kiba?"
Kiba looked confused, what could be so dangerous about a story?
"Yes! I mean, of course, sir."
"It was against her wishes for you to be told, but this cannot be withheld from you anymore."

flashback
It was two months ago. A freezing, winter day. Everyone was happy since spring was near, but inside the Hyuuga mansion, the atmosphere was as cold as ice. Hinata had finally told her dad about her and Kiba. Lord Hiashi had bursted, and started to yell.
"Why do you go out with that Inuzuka scum?! Hinata! It is YOUR responsibility to do what is best for the clan!"
"B..but f..father,…I..i l..lov-"
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT HINATA! IF YOU MARRY THAT IMBECILE, THEN I WILL DISOWN YOU!"
At this, Hinata had begun to cry, tears were streaming down her face. She had know that her father was disappointed, but she couldn't help it. Kiba was her one and only, there was no one other than him.
"HINATA! YOU ARE THE HEIR TO THE HYUUGA CLAN! YOU'RE WEAK, LOOK AT THOSE TEARS! HYUUGAS. DON'T. CRY."
WHACK
Hiashi had slapped Hinata across the face. As she cried and tried to keep from screaming, Hiashi became more and more enraged. The slaps never stopped and Hinata let out a desperate wail, and after what seemed like an eternity, Neji had burst into the room. He had been talking to TenTen, but after hearing Hinata scream, Hiashi shout and finally the slaps (A/N: Ouch. If her could hear them….then….no thinking about those things, too awful), he just couldn't ignore it anymore. TenTen followed not far behind.
"Oh. My. God. Hinata. What did he do to you?!"
As Neji and some guards worked on restraining Lord Hiashi, TenTen was trying to revive Hinata. Blood dribbled out of her mouth and her white kimono was splattered ith a mixture of tears and blood. By the time Neji and TenTen had gotten there, Hinata was already beaten unconscious. TenTen carried Hinata's small body to her room, wiped off the blood and called for a doctor.
"Hinata? Are you alright? What did that BASTARD do to you?!"
TenTen and a doctor where frantically trying to revive her.
Hinata survived, but she was still very delicate. She often had dizzy spells and she couldn't stand for long and it was very easy for her to get exhausted. After this incidence, Neji was even more protective of his weak cousin and he would beat up—or kill—anybody who endangered her in any way….
