Drops Of Blood
Chapter 5
A few months had past and Naruto and Hinata had grown closer.
The problems between Hinata and her father continued to get worse though.
The wrist cutting also continued.
"Hey Hinata, can I come over to your house tonight?" Naruto kissed the girl's forehead.
"Yeah, my dad is gone for the entire weekend."
"Great so I'll be there around seven."
"Hinata! I'm about to leave and you can't even have this house clean!" Her father pulled her by the hair and slammed her into the dish cabinet causing the dishes to fall on her.
He then left.
Hinata ran to her room.
Tears were pouring from her sensitive eyes and she reached for the letter opener. This time it was both wrists.
At the sound of the door bell she hastily bandaged her wrists and ran down the stairs.
To her surprise it was Kiba.
"Kiba?"
"Hey I just came by to ask you something."
His eyes trailed to her loose bandages. A trail of blood streamed to the floor.
"What the hell?!" He reached for her wrist only to be pushed away.
"You wouldn't understand Kiba!" She scurried up the stairs.
Kiba was in a state of shock.
He then walked up to her room.
She was sitting on her bed in a pink tank-top and a pair of gray shorts.
Blood still seeping through her bandages.
He sat next to her and tightened her bandages.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"What's there to say?"
"Hinata I don't like it when you get hurt, what's going on?"
Tears fell down her face.
She had cuts on her shoulders and face as well as some bruises.
"My God, does your father abuse you?"
"Kiba, everyday since I was in elementary school I wished I could die, just to get rid of the pain. Truthfully I guess I'm afraid to die. Then I went to live with my uncle but he died. Now I'm dating Naruto to feel special."
"Hinata, I hate to be the one to tell you this but Naruto is only dating you to get back at Sakura."
Hinata sighed. "I know."
"You what?"
"I've known since the day he asked me to Ino's party."
"Then why are you still with him?"
"Kiba look around. I live in hell. To actually experience heaven, even just a little, is amazing."
"Well if that makes you happy then I'm ok with that Hinata."
"Thank you Kiba. You know our friendship also puts me heaven. I'm glad you were always there for me."
"No problem Hinata. I should probably get going."
He stood and headed for the door.
"By the way, try to keep your wounds clean."
About a half hour later Naruto showed up.
Neji let him in.
Hinata was lying on her bed when he arrived, she'd totally forgotten he was coming over.
"Hey Hinata." He laid down next to her on the bed.
"Yes Naruto?"
"Did you forget about or date?"
"Can we just lay he for a little while?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Nope."
He peered over to try and see her face but instead saw her wrists.
"What happened to you wrists?!"
"I cut them."
"Wait, as in suicide cut them?"
Hinata nodded, she just didn't care anymore.
"Why?!"
Hinata remained silent.
"Oh, I remember now. Your father abuses you."
Hinata faced him in utter shock.
"I found out in 8th Grade. Why haven't you reported it?"
"Somehow my father will find a way to weasel himself out of it. He's powerful."
"Hinata, I want to help you!"
"Huh?"
"You can come back to my apartment and stay with Jiraiya and me. Jiraiya will make sure you're safe while the police come."
She stared at him. If there was one thing she knew it was that she loved him and she was willing to trust him.
"Ok Naruto."
"Great, let's go."
The two left blindly not knowing what kind of crazy road was ahead of them.
A/N: Only a few more chapters left. Probably two. As to when the next time I'll be able to update, I have no clue. Being back at school I have almost no time, especially since it's Septemeber. Friday I have a thing at a friend's house, then I have church events saturday and sunday, then it's back to school, and then my sister is getting married that next saturday. Ugh, I'm tired just thinking about it. Anywho, thanks for reading and please review.
