An Unfinished Dream

Chapter Seven

It was a nice warm day. There weren't many clouds in the sky.

It was a peaceful morning; it made everything feel pleasant and tranquil. Ever person seemed stress-free on days like this. But Hinata couldn't ease her thoughts. She had too many doubts on her mind.

She just couldn't settle down. She just had to clean her head of all her problems.

I have to talk to him.

I have to find him.

Naruto-kun, where are you?

Hinata was looking through out the village, in hopes that she would come across Naruto. She looked in all the places in the town that he might have been in.

She asked everyone if they knew where he was.

It was almost middle afternoon. The only other place that she considered looking would be at his house. She really didn't want to go to Naruto's house but she really needed to talk to him.

She took the longest way to Naruto's house, that she could think of but it wasn't that far away from were she was. She walked slowly.

She reached Naruto's house in no time, to her disappointment. Hinata walked up to the food f his house.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It was quite on the other side of the door. She thought that maybe there was no one home. But then she herd foot steps. The door opened an instant later.

Naruto stood in the door way. He wasn't wearing a shirt. Hinata blushed a shade of bright red.

"I-I'm sorry!" Hinata shrieked as she turned away.

"Wait!" Naruto said taking a hold of Hinata's hand. "I want to talk to you. I'll go get a shirt on."

Hinata said nothing but she attempted to pull her hand away.

"Please stay," Naruto said trying to look at her straight in the eyes.

"F-fine," Hinata turned around, still a little pink but she still keep from look at Naruto, she just down at her feet. Naruto finally let go of her hand, he turned and the left the room to go get some more clothes on. Hinata walked quietly into Naruto's house. She walked into the living room and looked around. It was very plain, but it's seemed like it was very heart warming. Hinata smiled to her self, calming her self down a bit.

She walked over to a picture that was resting on a small table in the middle of the room. Hinata took the picture in her hand to try to get a better look at it. It was a picture of Naruto and his team, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi-sensei were all smiling but Sasuke wasn't but then again when did Sasuke ever smile. Hinata looked at the picture for a few minutes; she let out a little laugh.

"What funny?" Naruto said as he walked out from around the corner.

"Huh?!" Hinata jumped when she herd Naruto's voice. The surprise of Naruto's coming around the corner made Hinata drop the picture in her hand. The picture dropped to the floor with a smash! Hinata blushed as she looked down to her the picture and small pieces of glass lying all over the floor.

"I'm so sorry!" Hinata said bending down to pick up the glass.

"No. It's okay. Just don't cut yourself-"

"Ow." Hinata cringed. She had cut herself on one of the pieces of glass. It's was a small cut but it was still bleeding.

"Oh, no. you cut your hand. Let me see it." Naruto said taking Hinata's hand without her permission. He looked at the cut then help Hinata up and they walked over to a chair. "You sit here while I clean this up. I'll also get you something to clean your hand with."

Hinata sat down in the chair, nodding to Naruto as he went over to the picture and it's now broken frame lying on the floor. She watched as he cleaned it up. Then watched and waited as he walked out of the room with all the broken pieced.

"Ow!" Naruto cried from the other room. Hinata shoot up from her chair and ran to Naruto. He was standing over a trash can; he turned at looked at Hinata.

"What's wrong?" Hinata asked looking at Naruto.

"I cut myself on the glass too." Naruto said with a little laugh but Hinata looked at the hand then Naruto was cradling in his other hand. There was a lot of blood dripping from it. Hinata walked closer to Naruto and took his bleeding hand in hers. She looked at the cut on it and it was a big slash across his palm. She gasped but then brought him over to the sink in the kitchen. Naruto washed his hand out in the water then covered in with a towel to stop the bleeding.

Hinata looked at her little cut on her hand, which was just a little one on her finger. She glanced at Naruto, with the towel around his hand and she suddenly felt very guilty.

"I'm sorry, Naruto." She said, she turned quickly with out Naruto knowing and she ran out his front door.

"It's okay Hinata." Naruto said looking up from his hand, to look at Hinata's face but he couldn't find it. "Hinata?" Naruto walked to the living room but she wasn't anywhere. He then realized that she must have run away. He walked over to the picture and the empty frame on the floor. He picked up the picture off the floor and looked at it. Then looked at the door.

"Hinata…"
