Hinata POV
"Lady Hinata, what did you do to your arm?" Neji asked as I sat down on a couch engulfing myself in yet another book.
"Why are you suddenly interested in what happens to me?" I asked. Neji shrugged.
"I think the fact I am your cousin and it's my job to protect you covers it," Neji said, "So tell me. It's about time you change you bandages to clean ones anyway…"
"I-I-I…why do you have any business in it anyway?" I asked holding my arm as the pain came back to my arm.
"Because it is my job to protect you," Neji repeated.
"I don't need protecting! I am a kunoichi," I exclaimed. I could hear footsteps but I ignored them.
"I am a ninja as well but that doesn't change the fact you are Lady Hinata, heir to the Hyuuga clan and if you die, the roll of heir and leader will be handed over to Hanabi," Neji said.
"What's wrong with Hanabi being leader of the Hyuuga clan?" I asked.
"Nothing Lady Hinata. It's in my best interests to know what's going on," Neji argued.
"Don't fuck with me! I know that everyday you wish your father was born first because you think I am to weak to be leader of our clan," I swore.
"Hinata!" Hiashi's voice said from the corridor.
"I know you were to busy fucking your boyfriend last night as you neglected your duties here," Neji snapped back.
"Neji!" Hiashi scolded, "What is with you two?"
"Sorry Lord Hiashi," Neji said as he lowered his head and bowed.
"What could you be arguing about at this time of night?" Hiashi asked.
"Never mind father," I muttered.
"Hinata has a wound on her upper right arm that seems to be disrupting one of her chakra points," Neji explained. Hiashi looked at Hinata.
"Don't worry about it. It is only a little wound that will heal over in a few days," I muttered trying to smile. I tried to move my legs but they wouldn't move.
"What is this about having a boyfriend?" Hiashi asked.
"Kiba is a teammate, not my boyfriend. He was helping me put bandages on my arm but last night I wasn't at Kiba's. I was alone," I muttered so softly it could barely be heard. Hiashi frowned.
"We will talk about it in the morning," Hiashi said. I tried to move my fingers but they were nub. Hiashi walked back through the corridor.
"I can't feel my fingers," I muttered to myself.
"Are you going to bed?" Neji asked.
"In a minute," I said. My upper arm was throbbing. Neji stood in the doorway.
"Your legs are asleep aren't they?" Neji said as he came over and draped my left arm over his shoulders. I tried to walk but my arms collapsed beneath me. "You are hopeless," Neji said as he lifted me onto his back, "Now, its time to go to sleep," Neji said as my eyes closed over and the pain gently lifting away.
I looked around me to see the skies and trees around me darkening quickly. There was an essence of blood lust and the ambition to kill around me but the surroundings seemed familiar. Had I been here before?
"Hello Hinata-sama," Someone said from the darkness of the trees. I looked around noticing the pain in my arm grow stronger.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Why Hinata-sama, you don't remember me?" The feminine figure said as she appeared out of no where. The girl looked between Kurenai sensei's age and my own. She had her hair in a pony tail and it was straight apart from a slight flick at the bottom. She wore dark denim jeans and a black top that had a back cat camouflaged on it. She walked up to me and leaned over my right shoulder as I stood shakily. "I gave you that stab wound with these two," she whispered in my ear as she stood up straight and placed her hand up like a gun. I felt the pain in my arm again.
"Lady Hinata!" I hear Neji's voice ringing in my ears as he shook my shoulders.
"Neji-kun?" I asked as I sat up holding my arm which was still throbbing.
"You are going to be late again if you don't get up," Neji said as he backed away. He looked at the blood stains on my arm and sheets. "What did you do?" Neji asked, becoming impatient.
"I didn't do anything," I said as I quickly got up and pushed Neji out of the room and closed the door. I pulled on a pair of fresh pants and rolled up my bloody sleeve. The wound had started to heal over and was healing in front of my eyes. It left a strange pattern but there was still a slit through the middle that left a sight dribble of blood but it still hurt like hell. I grabbed another bandage and loosely fixed it, trying to rush around to find a fresh top and jacket. I pulled them on quickly as I rushed out and put a piece of toasts in the toaster before I collected my ninja gear. I grabbed the toast quickly and ran out the door, not bothering to put anything on it. I rushed out the door and ran through the main streets but began to walk as I got closer to the destination. I was heading to just outside Konoha. I was early and so, Neji-kun had tricked me. I sat down and leaned on a tree and leant backwards before I fell asleep in exhaustion. I opened my eyes to something wet. I looked at the little white dog that was licking my face.
"Akamaru! Get off Hinata," Kiba said as he ran up behind him. I grabbed the little dog and pulled it away gently, just managing a small giggle. "Sorry Hinata. I think Akamaru was just happy to see that you haven't gone missing again," Kiba laughed. I smiled. "I see you arm is better than it was yesterday," Kiba said pointing at a clean sleeve.
"I guess so," I muttered as I remembered the dream.
"So what happened?" Kiba said sitting down.
"Uh… I…" I stuttered.
"What's wrong? It can't be that bad," Kiba said, his smile fading.
"I-I-I," I continued to stutter.
"What was it? That was a stab wound. I think I deserve an explanation," Kiba said.
"I-I-I…" I stuttered.
"What?" Kiba said.
"I can't remember?" I muttered.
"You can't remember?" Kiba asked. I lowered my head. "You have to remember something," Kiba nagged.
"All I remember is that I got this from it," I said raising on sleeve to show the pattern and single scar replacing the stab wound that was there earlier this morning.
"What? That was a stab wound. It couldn't heal that quickly. Akamaru and I saw the wound," Kiba said looking at the arm. I pulled my sleeve back down.
"Please Kiba-kun. Don't tell anybody about this. Not even Neji, Hiashi or Kurenai sensei," I pleaded.
"What's wrong with you? Do you think I would go around telling everybody about your mystery stab wound? Although, it might be a good idea showing it to Tsunade-sama because there is a strange pattern around it," Kiba said patting my shoulder as he stood.
"I saw the person who did it to me," I muttered to myself so softly I was sure Kiba couldn't hear it.
"What? Who was it?" Kiba asked. I looked at him.
"I don't know her…" I started softly.
"Her?" Kiba asked. I nodded.
"I don't know her name but if you had to guess what created this, what do you think would?" I asked.
"Someone with a special tag on a kunai," Kiba said trying to recall the shape of the wound. I held up two fingers like a gun. "What? Is anyone near?" Kiba asked.
"No. The woman used her two fingers," I muttered.
"How old is this woman and do you have any idea what she looks like?" Kiba asked as he squatted beside me.
"She is younger than Kurenai sensei but is older than us. I would say in between Iruka-sensei and Itachi Uchiha's age," I tried to recall, "And she wore dark denim jeans and a black top with a black cat that was hard to make out in the dark…"
"Anything else?" Kiba asked.
"She was blonde with a ponytail that reached her shoulders and her nails were pure black, shaped similar to a cats and that is all I can remember," I said.
"Knowing her and the skill she would most likely be at she would most likely change her main appearance like clothing and the style of her hair each day but something will stay the same. Did you see anything that could be different?" Kiba asked. I shook my head.
"Good morning Hinata. Good morning Kiba," Kurenai said as she walked up. I stood suddenly, almost tripping over my own feet.
"Good morning Kurenai-sensei," I said bowing.
"Good morning," Kiba said. He looked around and Akamaru barked and someone came out of a tree.
"Good morning Shino-kun," I said.
"Yeah, good morning," Shino said.
"Well since we are all here we should start training," Kurenai smiled.
"You are in an awfully good mood today," Kiba muttered to himself. I tried to move my right hand but nothing happened. I tried at little harder.
"Is everything alright Hinata?" Kurenai asked.
"No. Everything is fine," I said.
"Are you sure? You look tired or worried," Kurenai asked.
"I am sure. I had plenty of sleep and there's nothing for me to worry about," I smiled. My voice was soft as usual. Kiba looked at me, concerned.
"I don't want you training if you are going to slack or fall asleep," Kurenai said.
"I am fine Kurenai-sensei," I said again. Kurenai nodded.
"Okay. Today we are training techniques that don't use much chakra," Kurenai said, "Shino will be with me first, then Kiba and then Hinata. Until then, fight the other who is not fighting me. This is training so don't kill each other…" We all nodded. "Good. I will be in this direction. When I say swap, we swap," Kurenai explained. Shino followed Kurenai as Kiba stood up.
"I suppose you are going to tell me you are fine aren't you so there is no point in arguing," Kiba sighed. I tried to move my right wrist but I couldn't move that either but I could still use my elbow.
"Don't go easy on me. We are here to train," I said. Kiba nodded.
My eyes became blurred but returned to normal vision as I noticed Kiba barely missing my face.
"Why aren't you using your right arm?" Kiba asked.
"I-I-I… I can't," I muttered. My eyes blurred for about 10 seconds before returning to normal sight again.
"You can't?" Kiba asked. I dodged his kunai as I felt my stomach churn and the pain in my arm grow stronger. I nodded as I stopped and stood across from Kiba, ready to attack or defend. "What do you mean you can't?" Kiba asked. I shrugged.
"I can't use anything below my elbow," I muttered. Kiba sighed.
"This has gone on long enough. Either you tell Kurenai sensei or I tell her because I am not here to watch to fall over constantly for something that you could stop with your pinky," Kiba said.
"I would if I could move my pinky," I muttered, "Please Kiba-kun. Don't tell Kurenai…" My breathing slowly became harder as my eyes blurred again. I felt the pain in my arm increase intensely, leaving me defenseless.
"Hinata, I am not doing this because I don't want to train. You can barely stand on your feet," Kiba said.
"Kiba…kun… I… can't…breathe," I muttered as I fell to my backwards.
"Hinata!" Kiba said as I felt his warm arms grab me before I hit the ground.
"can't… breathe…" I muttered again.
Kiba POVI rushed to Hinata's side, catching her falling body.
"What is wrong with you Hinata?" I said trying to get her to reply, "Damn it!" I lifted her limp body and set off in the direction Kurenai said she would be training at. I could feel Hinata's breathing slow as I continued to move. "Kurenai-sensei! Shino!" I yelled desperately, "Damn it. I have no choice. Neji is going to hate me even more for this…" I put her on the ground and undid her jacket and tried to feel for a pulse. When I eventually found one, it was fading quickly. I leaned over, one hand still on her chest.
"What are you doing?" Shino's voice said.
"Shino. Help. Hinata…" I stuttered.
"You were trying to kiss her while she was asleep weren't you?" Shino accused.
"No… We were training and…um…" I stuttered. Brilliant Kiba. The only thing you have managed is to get yourself into more trouble, I thought to myself.
"What happened? You knocked her out so you thought maybe I should kiss her and see if she wakes up like sleeping beauty?" Shino said.
"No. If you haven't noticed, there is barely a scratch on Hinata," I said.
"Hinata!" Kurenai said rushing over, "What happened?"
"Hinata passed out and she stopped breathing," I said looking at Shino in the eyes, or his sunglasses because I couldn't see his eyes. Kurenai kneeled over and tried to find a pulse herself.
"We need to get her to a hospital. Now," Kurenai said as she noticed me already picking her up. We all hurried into town finding Tsunade on a walk.
"Tsunade-sama!" I yelled.
"Huh? Kiba? Shino? Kurenai?" Tsunade asked before looking at the body in my hands, "What happened to Hinata?"
"She passed out in training and stopped breathing and I can't find a pulse," Kurenai said.
"Any idea what happened?" Tsunade said looking at the blood that was dripping from the jacket.
"Damn it!" I said.
"What?" Shino asked, "Obviously you did hit her…"
"No, she had that when she returned yesterday," I said.
"Does it have any relevance to this?" Tsunade asked. I tightened my grip on Hinata's clothes.
"Lady Hinata!" Neji's voice said.
"Kiba! Talk," Tsunade ordered.
"Hinata told me all she could remember of the night she went missing. She has forgotten everything apart from what the person who hurt her looks like and what they used," I explained.
"Well?" Tsunade asked.
"This isn't possible. There are 10 of her chakra points around her hand that have been closed and a few around her shoulder," Neji said.
"What?" Tsunade asked, "Kiba talk…"
"The woman who attacked Hinata used two fingers and dug them into her right arm, just under the shoulder leaving a stab wound similar to one a kunai would leave. The wound has already healed over except for a thin scar and a strange pattern that looks kind of like kanji," I said. Tsunade pulled at the jacket and tore the sleeve of her top before taking the bandages.
"There is no doubt this is kanji. This is a unique genjutsu that is only able to be used by one bloodline," Tsunade said.
"Do you know how to stop it?" I asked.
"It's tricky. Even though the medical treatment was a temporary success, there is only one person other than the people in that bloodline who can break the seal," Tsunade said.
I placed Hinata on the medical bed before moving backwards.
"Who is it who can save Hinata?" Kurenai said. Tsunade lowered her head.
"Orochimaru," Tsunade muttered.
"What about the people in the bloodline?" Neji asked.
"There is only two left and the last I remember they both work for Orochimaru," Tsunade said.
"Damn it!" I said slamming my fist against the wall.
"Well I best be going so I can help you with the cure. Call me or one of the medical-nins if anything bad happens," Tsunade said leaving the room.
"If you have done anything to Lady Hinata I will personally kill you," Neji said grabbing me by my clothes that are on my chest and lifting me into the air.
"I didn't do anything!" I pleaded.
"Neji, put him down," Kurenai said. Neji threw me into the wall.
"Right. I am going to believe you when I found Hinata at your place," Neji muttered to himself.
"Now we have stopped fighting, it would be a good time to explain what did happen," Kurenai said.
"I don't know everything because she only told me what she could remember. She was training and a woman attacked her," I said.
"And?" Neji asked.
"And that is all she can remember," I shrugged, "Oh and the slit on her arm was a stab wound like she was stabbed with a kunai yesterday…"
Hinata POVI felt pressure in my right arm as I sat up, trying to move. My heart beats were uneven as I tried to stand.
"Hinata-sama, I have been waiting a long time for you to get back. I suppose it was better to talk to you in a dream I can simulate in your mind or risk getting caught," said the same female from before.
"What is your name?" I asked as the pain in my arm grew stronger.
"I suppose I should tell you know. My name is Asami," the woman said. I calculated it all in my mind. There was a clan with a girl named Asami and they had a thing for cats.
"You are Asami Ma-Ma," I stuttered trying to think of the name.
"Matsuda," Asami completed. I felt my heart skip a few beats. "So now you remember me," Asami sighed.
"I don't. I just remember the name," I stuttered.
"That's sad. I think I am going to cry," Asami said, sarcasm dripping from her breath.
"What did you do to my arm?" I asked hesitantly.
"Well I injured and scarred you if that is what you mean," Asami said.
"No, what is it doing to me?" I asked.
"Oh. I forgot that you didn't get the explanation. That cut is a part of a sealing jutsu and with that, I can create and interfere with brainwaves, along with putting you in a lot of pain and discomfort. The longer the seal is like that, the more pain you will feel. Also, by putting my chakra into it, I originally cut off one chakra point and it slowly closes off the others. Starting at the furthest reachable point in that part of the body. Thus, it has closed off the chakra points around your hands and the blood loss can made the blood flow through your body slower and thus, you can't use certain parts of you body because it is trying to defeat the virus like seal in your body. Do you understand or do I need to go through it again?" Asami said.
"No. I think I understand. So how do I get the seal out," I asked.
"Only a Matsuda can. I suppose Orochimaru knows but he makes it twice as painful," Asami said.
"You're a Matsuda. Can't you take it off?" I asked quietly.
"You are a quiet one. You should learn to speak louder. I could take it off but first I need a few favors," Asami said.
"Favors?" I asked.
"Yes. The first is to deliver a message to Tsunade. But, if you tell anyone who I am or what you are or have to do, the seal will stay on and at this rate, you will die in less than a month," Asami said.
"What is the message?" I asked hesitantly. Every step Asami took towards me, I could feel the pain increase.
"You will see a black cat and it will have an envelope in its mouth. Take the envelope and .put it on her desk but don't let anyone see you. Say someone you don't know gave it to you to deliver. But now. I think just to make sure the message is clear, I might just make things a little worse," Asami said as she continued to walk closer, moving her hands. She placed the same two fingers that she stabbed me with on my scar and the writing twirled and the patterns covered my arm. "I want to see how much pain Hinata-sama can bare," Asami taunted as the pain got worse and worse. "I want to see Hinata-sama cry out in pain," Asami taunted again. She kept her hand there, letting the pain increase at a rapid rate. The pain was getting to almost unbearable.
Come on Hinata. This is nothing. Just don't cry… I thought to myself as I grabbed my arm and pulled it even closer to my body, trying to stop it or decrease it somehow. I held my arm tighter.
"Hinata-sama, the longer you hold onto your pain, the more it hurts," Asami said pressing into the scar as if it was a bruise. The pain was becoming even stronger and it was getting harder to fight. I held my arm tighter to fight off the pain. I closed my eyes and felt the pain increase, higher and higher. I couldn't do anything. The pain was unbearable. I couldn't do anything but hold my arm, let tears run down my cheeks like a water fountain. All I could hear was someone scream and scream and scream and scream…
…and scream and scream and scream and scream… I sat up holding onto my arm as if it had fallen off. I heard the screaming coming and coming until it dawned on me. I was the one screaming.
"Hinata!" I hear someone say from outside. My eyes were burning, and every single part of my arm was screaming itself. A blonde boy came running into the room and stood beside the bed with one hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes and everything appeared white until they fit in amongst the light. I noticed the bleach white sheets except for the new blood stains that had appeared. I held my arm tighter as I leaned forward and the screaming stopped. I tried to breathe normally but they didn't work. I turned my head, with tears of pain rolling down my cheeks. It was Naruto that had run in the room. "Hinata-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked. I tried to nod but tears rolled down my cheek. Naruto put his hand on my shoulder. My face would have gone red but it was as pale as a vampire's. "Why did you scream?" Naruto asked. My breaths were still uneven and I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Hinata-chan, are you okay?" Naruto asked. I breathed in deeply and swallowed.
"My…arm…" I stuttered softly.
"What happened to you?" Naruto asked. My heart beats were uneven and my heart was constantly changing from to fast to slow.
"My arm… it's…" I stuttered. I held in another scream of pain.
"What happened?" Naruto asked again. I held my arm tighter letting more tears run down my cheek.
"Naruto…kun…get…Tsunade-sa…" I stuttered as I leant forward. Naruto nodded and ran out of the room. "Please Naruto-kun…" I said as I felt my breathing become heavy. I laid back on my pillow and starred at the ceiling. "Hurry…"
Naruto POVI rushed through the halls.
"Where is she?" I said as I hurried around. I pushed open the door and almost fell flat on my face.
"I hope you are not here just to tell me you want another mission," Tsunade said.
"No Granny Tsunade. I need your help at the hospital," I said as I stood up straight.
"Take Shizune or Sakura. I am busy," Tsunade said.
"You don't understand Granny Tsunade…"
"If you keep calling me Granny Tsunade I am going to break your spine so you walk like an old grandpa,"
"It's Hinata,"
"Hinata?!" Tsunade asked as she stood up, hands flat on the table.
"What is wrong with Hinata?" Shizune asked.
"I am afraid they are back," Tsunade said.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"Shizune, did you hear the story of the clan from the village in the sound?" Tsunade asked.
"No, why Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked holding Ton-ton to her chest.
"You can tell your stories later. Hinata is in trouble and I have absolutely no idea what is going on," I reasoned.
"This is relevant Naruto and so you can either listen and understand what is happening or run off and don't know anything," Tsunade said. I sat down grumpily.
"Good. In the early stages of Konoha we had many of the people from the minor villages join us to create what we have today. During the midst of a war between the sand and the sound, a clan from the sound village came to Konoha and was able to stay in agreement to be people who will help protect Konoha. This clan specialized in the opposite to the Inuzuka clan as they have cats as their companions. This created a small war that only stopped 15 years ago," Tsunade said, "When the nine-tailed fox attacked Konoha…"
"and? We are in a rush. If I remember correctly, I came in here to get you so you can help save Hinata," I said.
"Naruto, I guess you don't know the story…" Tsunade concluded.
"Don't know? I am part of the story," I said.
"So then you do know," Tsunade said.
"Only that when the nine tailed fox swung its tail, it caused tsunamis and mountains to collapse and the fourth Hokage stopped it by sealing it in a new born baby that just had it's umbilical cord cut. Aka, me. But that's all I know," I said.
"Okay, thanks for sharing. Now, to the story, The clan fought against the fox and all died but two. One child and her uncle," Tsunade said.
"What happened to them?" Shizune asked.
"The uncle left the child in Konoha and the child went to the academy, graduating at only 8 years old. The uncle left Konoha with Orochimaru and worked by his side. The child, went missing after her 12th birthday and is thought to be with Orochimaru as well. But as you know, the child wasn't seen with Orochimaru at the chunin exams almost 3 years ago," Tsunade said.
"Great. Now we have heard the story can we save Hinata now?" I nagged.
"Why do you keep calling them 'child' instead of he, she or their name," Shizune asked.
"Because the name hasn't been spoken of in 8 years," Tsunade said.
"Just tell us so we can hurry up!" I continued to nag.
"She graduated with Itachi Uchiha," Tsunade said. I froze.
"Itachi…Uchiha?" I stuttered.
"Yes," Tsunade said.
"Tsunade-sama. You are not telling me that she is back," Shizune said gripping Ton-ton tighter.
"Who is she so we can hurry up and go to Hinata," I said impatiently.
"I don't know if she is back but she is the only one who can perform that seal. It is possible Orochimaru might have used her body when Sasuke was late," Tsunade said.
"So its possible that Orochimaru is behind this," Shizune said.
"If you are not coming, I will go get Sakura or another medical ninja," I said heading for the door.
"It won't work. There is only one way to get it off," Tsunade said.
"It?" I asked.
"The seal," Tsunade said. She moved away from her desk. "Well come on," Tsunade said as she began to run, really fast.
"Hey wait up," I said as I followed beside Shizune. Before I could see anything that was going on, we were inside the hospital and Tsunade was trying to get into Hinata's room.
"Hinata, are you okay?" Tsunade said as she finally opened the door. She went straight to Hinata's side and pulled of the jacket and pulled at the neck of her top so it would show the top of her arm. "Damn it," Tsunade said, "Naruto get out for a minute…"
"What? You expect me to get out?" I asked.
"Naruto! Get out," Tsunade yelled. I stepped back, almost frightened of Tsunade. I opened the door and stepped outside and leaned against the door. I slid down until I was at the floor but I could hear the commotion that was going on inside. "Shizune. Make sure no one comes in or can see what is going on in here," Tsunade screamed. Shizune pulled a blind over the window on the door and then locked it.
Tsunade POVMy heart was skipping 2 beats at a time.
"Shizune. Help me with Hinata," I called as I pulled at the top, removing it so I could get to the wound. "The seal is spreading. DAMN IT!" I yelled. Shizune ran to my side. There was nothing but a small scar that was surrounded by kanji like symbols.
"Tsunade-sama," Shizune said.
"What Shizune?" I said impatiently.
"What do you want me to do?" Shizune asked.
"Heal the wound for a minute," I said trying to think, Matsuda seal, Matsuda seal, Matsuda seal…cat…Matsuda…
"Tsunade-sama," Shizune said.
"What?" I asked impatiently, rubbing my head.
"The wound won't heal," Shizune said. I walked over and pushed Shizune out of the way. I bit my finger and placed my hand on Hinata's arm. The amount of chakra I was using was visible to the naked eye. I heard footsteps outside.
"Naruto? Why are you sitting outside Hinata's door?" Kiba's voice echoed.
"Naruto?" Kurenai asked.
"Granny Tsunade kicked me out," Naruto pouted.
"SHUT UP OUT THERE," I yelled outside. There was silence outside.
"Why is Tsunade-sama yelling?" Kiba asked.
"Hinata has some kind of seal on her arm that can only be made by some girl who is somewhere around 20 and Tsunade doesn't know how to fix it," Naruto explained.
"I KNOW HOW. IT'S JUST VERY CHALLENGING TO GET A MISSING NINJA TO AGREE WITH YOU AND DO YOU A FAVOR," I yelled again.
"IF YOU ARE GOING TO TALK TO US, COME OUT AND TALK INSTEAD OF YELLING!" Naruto yelled back. I pulled my hand away and re-dressed Hinata, completely bandaging her right arm and not bothering to put Hinata's jacket back on her. I felt for a pulse and found one that was very weak. She was breathing unevenly.
Hinata POVI opened my eyes to see a figure with blonde hair hanging over my body.
"Naruto-kun?" I asked as I tried to make out who it was.
"Do I look that much like a guy? Shizune, open the door," Tsunade's voice said.
"Tsunade-sama," I said as I tried to sit up. Tsunade put one finger on my chest and stopped me. My heart was racing as the pain faded to nothing. My eyes started clearing as I saw everyone was around me. I squeezed my right hand into a fist. Or I thought I did.
"Hinata," Kiba said.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Naruto's voice echoed. I sat up rubbing my head.
"I-I-I… I don't know," I muttered. Naruto frowned.
"Just take it easy. You won't be training until you get better unless you enjoy being in the hospital," Tsunade said. I had the strangest feeling to laugh but I held it in.
"Lady Hinata, are you okay?" Neji asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just cut it with the Lady Hinata stuff," I muttered as I tried to get out of the bed. Kurenai put one hand on my right shoulder and held me down. I prepared myself for a shot of pain but nothing happened.
"You passed out," Shino started.
"Twice," Naruto corrected.
"Twice?" Kurenai asked.
Three times, I thought to myself.
"Hinata, are you sure you are okay?" Kurenai asked.
"Haven't felt better in days," I smiled abnormally.
"In the last two days you have gone missing, returned, passed out twice. Anything else?" Kiba said.
"I haven't slept properly for longer than 10 minutes," I said, and I was attacked, stabbed, blamed, misinterpreted and insulted. Neji frowned.
"So you're in the hospital because you needed sleep. What were you doing last night?" Neji asked. I shrugged.
"I was starring at the ceiling because I couldn't sleep," I muttered.
"We are in here because Hinata stopped breathing and almost died in training this morning," Kiba said.
"If you don't shut up I will sow your mouth together with chakra strings so you cannot take your lips apart," Neji threatened.
"What's your problem and why are you here?" Naruto asked.
"I am here because Tsunade-sama won't give me a mission so Lord Hiashi has me working my ass off and all I want to do is throw someone through a brick wall," Neji said.
"I offered you a mission," Tsunade shrugged.
"I remember. Go and deliver a bowl of ramen to someone just outside town. Hardly a mission," Neji said.
"Is it my fault we are short on missions?" Tsunade asked.
"Can we leave debates until we are out of the hospital?" Naruto asked.
"If you don't shut it I will throw you through the wall," Neji said.
"Try,"
"Guys. Could you both shut up and please not argue for a minute," I said rubbing my temples.
"Who do you think you are telling me what to do?" Neji asked pulling me up with the front of my shirt.
"Neji put her down," Kurenai said. I put my left hand at his chest and released chakra, sending him backwards across the room.
"Hinata. I told you no training," Tsunade scolded.
"One, you sound like my mother and two, I wasn't training. It was self defense," I said.
That's a really bad way to end a chapter but if I didn't end it there I would be still going for ages… Remember, both comments and flame are loved by me. It kind of makes sense. I guess. Anyway. Pwease comment!! The next chapter will be up soon…
Thanks
