Notes: I know the last chapter was really short and probably seemed rather pointless to a lot of you but not every chapter is going to be as thrilling as the others. Here's chapter Nineteen. Enjoy !
o O o O o O o
Hinata felt anxious as she neared the hospital.
Now she felt bad for leaving Neji alone with Hanabi. Sometimes she could be a lot to deal with, atleast when it came to her.
The clouds roared as Hinata made a turn leading to the hospital. A few sprinkles of rain were felt on her pale face as the sky grew darker.
Now she felt really bad. They would be going home soon because it looked like a storm was on the way. They would have to leave without her.
Hinata dropped her chin. What would they tell her father ?
"Hey Hinata-chan ?!?!"
Hinata stoppped walking and looked behind her. She saw Kiba and Shino walking slowly down the street.
"Hello, Kiba-kun."
Hinata smiled. Maybe now she had some company.
She stopped walking to allow Kiba and Shino time to catch up with her. By the time they were by her side the rain was coming down hard and steady.
Hinata noticed Kiba was holding a black umbrella but didn't complain or hint she needed it as the rain came down harder.
They started walking together. Kiba in the middle and Shino and Hinata by his side.
"What are you doing here ?" Kiba asked.
Hinata blushed madly as she started to poke her fingers together.
"I was going to visit Naruto-kun ... he ... he's in the hospital."
Kiba laughed as he placed the umbrella over Hinata's head.
"Oh ? We're going there too. We heard his team was ambushed on their way back to Konaha. Everybody else on the team was fine but Naruto supposedly tried to protect some girl on his team."
Hinata sighed and looked down. Kiba noticed her reaction and was slightly confused but could tell she was somehow dissapointed.
"How did you hear he was in the hospital, Hinata-chan ?"Kiba asked curiously.
Hinata blushed and rose her head.
"I had to deliver something to him." She said quietly.
o O o O o O o
The team walked into the appropriate room but paused at the doorway.
Hinata let out a quiet gasp as her eyes looked upon the girl that was being held in Naruto's arms.
She had to try her hardest to swallow tears as Naruto gently placed a kiss on the girl forhead.
Kiba shook off all hesitation and entered.
"So Naruto-kun got yourself in the hospital, so typical ..."
Sakura pulled away from Naruto's embrace and wiped her eyes. She got off of the bed and walked out of the room.
"Sakura-chan ? ..." Naruto called. No answer was heard.
Naruto looked down for a moment than brought his head up again excitedly.
"Hinata-chan !!!"
Hinata blushed but still looked troubled.
"Yes Naruto-kun ?"
Naruto smiled so big Hinata, though still feeling as though she were about to cry, couldn't help but smile.
"Did you bring more ramen ?"
Hinata bit her lower lip and took a seat next to the hospital bed.
"Sorry, Naruto-kun." Hinata muttered while beginning to focus on the floor.
Kiba looked at Hinata then at Naruto. He was very confused now.
"So Naruto, what was up with you and that girl, Sakura-chan right ?"
Naruto looked to Kiba while sitting up in the bed.
"Oh ... she was just upset about everything. The mission went worse than expected ..."
"You can ... mo- move your arms now ?" Hinata asked while still looking at the floor.
Naruto smiled and stretched his arms out.
"Yeah I can !!!"
Hinata smiled but it was quickly replaced with a grim look.
"What's wrong Hinata-chan ?"
Hinata lifted herself from the seat and stood beside Kiba.
"I'm fine."
"The doctors say I can leave today."
Hinata smiled.
"That's great Naruto-kun !!!"
Kiba sideway glanced at Hinata. She was acting strange today.
"I'll probably leave in a few minutes."
Hinata smiled. She wondered how he could heal so fast but she was thankfull for it.
Hinata's smile wasn't left unnoticed by Kiba. He didn't know why but suddenly he felt like leaving.
"Well in that case, we should probably leave."
Kiba and Shino started to walk away leaving Hinata behind. Shino continued walking away but Kiba stopped while holding the door open.
"Are you coming Hinata-chan ?" He said with a hint of venom in his voice.
Hinata turned to see his back.
"I'll be right there."
Kiba gritted his teeth but let the door shut behind him.
Naruto scooted to the edge of the bed and stood up.
"Uh ... Naruto-kun ... are you sure you're okay ?"
"I'm fine." He said while stretching out.
Hinata looked away as he walked by her. Naruto got to the door and turned back to see her still standing there.
"Hinata-chan ?"
"I'm coming."
o O o O o O o
Naruto and Hinata stepped out of the hospital. It just so happened they were walking together.
"Are you gonna go back with Kiba and Shino ?"
Hinata didn't bother to look around for her teammates.
"They probably left already."
Thunder crashed loudly. Hinata didn't expect the loud bang and jumped slightly. Naruto and Hinata stood in the rain they were both already soaked.
"I'll walk you home." Naruto said.
Before Hinata could answer Kiba walked up behind her.
"That's okay." He said while placing the umbrella over her head again.
Hinata turned around and saw Kiba.
"Oh well whatever. See you guys later." Naruto said while walking away.
Hinata turned back around sadly to see Naruto almost out of sight. Kiba put a hand on her shoulder.
Kiba bent down and put his face beside Hinata. "Ready to go ?"
Hinata shivered as his voice tickled at her ear. She turned back around to face him.
"Yes, Kiba-kun."
