Chapter Eight

You are my sunshine

"N-Naruto-Kun?" furious aqua marine eyes glared her way, softening only slightly at the sight of his friend.

"Hinata-Sama get out of here, this is going to get ugly. Fast." Neji and Naruto in the same place, agreeing on something?

Shaking her head just as Naruto grabbed Itachi by the upper arm, the elder Uchiha hissed in pain but did nothing more. Naruto's eyes were narrowed and Hinata swore she saw a ting of red. Before she could speak up Naruto spoke in a low deadly whisper.

"Why the hell are you in Konoha you murderer?" he tightened his grip and Itachi winced, other than that he revealed nothing. Neji gently tried to lead her away from the scene, but something was pulling Hinata back to it.

Betrayal screamed and pain clawed at her, they stared her right in the face flanked by their best friends' anxiety and fear.

All in his eyes.

Was she the only one who could see that? Naruto's blunt nails began to dig into the skin and a spark of pain went through her making her wince, what was that?

She had to stop Naruto; she didn't know why she felt the need to defend this man. But he was her patient and Hinata weak or not was still a Hyuuga, and Hyuuga's always protected what they loved even if it meant hurting them in the process.

"N-Naruto-Kun s-stop it! Y-you're hurting h-him!" Naruto slackened his hold and whipped around towards her. His eyes narrowed even further and he spoke in a sort of growl.

"Why the hell should I let him go? Hinata he's the one who drove Sasuke to Orochimaru! Don't you get that! He's the one who drove away the closest friend I could have, someone I thought of as a brother!" He was yelling now and had dropped the honor suffix to her name, her eyes pricked with unfallen tears.

Neji had stopped trying to take her out of the room, and was glaring at naruto for his insolence. Hinata had always held a good reason for helping someone, hell she had given him a second chance.

A chance he did not deserve after almost killing her.

But Hinata did, and he had changed after finding out the truth behind his father. Neji vowed he would protect her, even from his friends.

"N-Naruto h-he's my patient I c-can't l-let you h-hurt him anymore then he I-is already p-please leave." Naruto frowned anger vanishing instantly as Neji left to find the documents Hinata had saved for every patient she was assigned to see if Uchiha Itachi really was her patient.

"Hinata, I can't just let him sit here while Sasuke is st-" Hinata suddenly stood up straight eyes frozen into chips of ice, Itachi felt his breathing hitch at the sudden change.

"Uzumaki-san Sasuke left the village of his own violation, for a less then noble cause." Naruto spluttered turning an angry red, how dare she defend that MUDERER when was he Uzumaki-san?

"Less than noble? Itachi killed off the entire Uchiha clan!" Naruto hissed.

"So that gives Sasuke a right to kill his brother? No questions just blindly following what his eldest brother had said? Merely to test his capacity? His strength, it was no doubt could easily be sannin why would he need to kill off his FAMILY to prove that Uzumaki-san?" Hinata didn't know where this sudden onslaught of cruelty came from, but that look in Itachi's eyes…

That look, wasn't that of a sadistic killer.

It was the look of a lost and hurt child craving something that the child needed, wanted yes but could die if never given. Just like Neji used to be. Uchiha Itachi may be a criminal but Hinata felt something telling her he didn't want to be.

"Hinata..." Naruto voice was the same deadly tone he had used with Itachi; it scared her because of how easily he could forget she was his friend and not the enemy.

Hinata Hyuuga was truly scared of her long time crush, Uzumaki Naruto. He slowly stalked towards her a tint of scarlet red seeping into his aquamarine eyes she loved oh so much.

"N-Naruto?" the stutter had returned with a vengeance, and with Hinata's current fear freezing her in place she couldn't move.

"You disgust me how could you side with a murderer? How could you do that to me? To Konoha! Maybe Neji was right at the Chunin exams, you are weak always falling prey to your emotions because you pity someone like Itachi!" Hinata felt the tears carving rivers into her cheeks as he continued ranting, going so far as to say she wasn't fit to lead a clan if she was going to side with traitors, murderers.

"S-SHUT UP!" Hinata winced covering he face with her hands, Naruto's eyes startled themselves back into blue. Hinata could no longer find it in herself to admire that, the way he had spoken…

He had done what she never thought he would do, he judged her when she had never judged him. Always had she supported his dream, and yet he had shot down hers.

"S-shut up…we're all killers….we're all murderers working under one person…we're all people killing people and for what s-sake Naruto? What a-are we fighting f-for?" Naruto paused then bounced back.

"Peace Hinata-Chan that's what-" Hinata cast him a dull voided look causing him to stop.

"You expect to b-bring o-on en e-era of peace with violence?" Naruto's eyes widened before narrowing.

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"I kn-know plenty and a-as the Heiress of the H-Hyuuga clan order you to l-leave this room. You a-are not to s-see Itachi for the r-remainder of t-the t-time h-he is I-in Konoha."

"WHAT?" His eyes bugged out as Hinata walked past him, easily checking Itachi's newly placed heart monitor, it seemed to skip every other twelve beats. She knew something was wrong…

"You're ordering me out because you're the Heiress of some stupid Clan?" He clasped his hands over her shoulders, not noticing the angry glare given to him by the eldest Uchiha brother.

"Well listen you little Hyuuga bitch I don't live as a Hyuuga and you have no rule over me. I can do as I damn well please." Warm fire engulfed her chakra system seconds before Naruto's open palm crashed into her face.

Hinata's eyes filled with tears instantly, she never heard the speed of the heart monitor pick up. Never saw the bloodied irises glaring holes into Naruto as he was thrown across the room. She could only remember the pain of being struck, struck by the one who had saved her.

"Hinata? Hinata shh." Red eyes bore into her own, easily knocking her unconscious. She clung desperately to the warm chakra, which in turn tightened its hold.

Author's note: I may not have updated in a while but I got my writer's instinct back! Woo hoo! Thank you all who have reviewed, they have kept my inspiration up and running knowing there are people enjoying the read! Hopefully i didn't make Naruto tooout of character.

But we all know Naruto dosen't really think clearly when he's angry...
