"Sakura can I have a moment, I have something to tell you." Naruto said when he approached Sakura on the nurse's station. "What about Naruto?" she heard no reply but she followed the blond shinobi.
When they where on a secluded area at the back of the hospital, Naruto grabbed Sakura on a tight grip that confused the kunoichi.
"I love you Sakura-chan. I was planning to confess to you until that incident between me and Hinata. And I feel miserable everyday that I'm with her." Naruto can't feel the truth in what he was saying and so was the pink haired kunoichi. He even felt awkward hugging Sakura.
''I know you have Naruto but are you sure you still feel the same" Naruto was surprised with the question and cannot seem to answer.
"Do I still feel the same?" his arms fell down onto his side releasing Sakura. He was to dumbstruck he did not notice a pearly eyed girl ran far away from that scene.
"I wanted to tell you this Naruto for the longest time. And now I think this is the right time. I was the one who planned getting you drunk and put you in bed together with Hinata." she said as she paused and stared back onto Naruto.
"She was very against it at first but when I told her that you're considering marrying another girl she agreed but not without reluctance" she again paused as if contemplating if she has to continue. Seeing that Naruto wanted to know more, she proceeded.
"She really wanted to back out so much that she even asked if there is another option, in which, I gave her none. That was why she was crying the morning both of you were being interrogated. She wanted to back-out but I pressed on to our plan'', Naruto could not believe what he was hearing and his heart felt as if it was being squished by some unknown force as he felt Hinata's pain.
But Sakura continued, "At first I thought that I just wanted to get rid of you so I devised that bizarre idea but then I guess not. What I think is that I have recognized Hinata's love for you. I also think that you're both perfect together, which I have observed that you are this past few months. I know that she could make you happy. But you know what! I just realized that you're too stubborn to admit it yourself and I hope that you wont regret this because I think if you lose her now, you will lose everything", she said non-stop so that she had to breath for a while before she could proceed again.
"Oh, Naruto, I really wanted you to understand this so pay attention!" she thought as she patiently awaited Naruto's reaction. He was only but passive, showing no emotions at all.
"Think about it Naruto, it might get your mind straight and let you discover what you really wanted to have", and with that Sakura left.
Naruto's heart was overwhelmed with thoughts that rushed into his mind.
"What would I do now?" He wanted to punch himself as he remembered the things he did to Hinata when he still thought that everything was her fault. He was sickened with the scenes that were replaying in his head. He just felt hot liquid continuously flowing down to his cheeks. He wanted to run home to hug Hinata but he doesn't have the courage to face her. He just stood there, and for the longest time of his life he stood still.
"Hey kit, it's been hours now aren't we going home? I sensed your wife earlier and I think that she didn't like what she heard" the kyuubi remarked.
"What? Hinata was here." Naruto was in panic, he could not afford to loose her now. And if she had heard him earlier there's a better chance of her leaving. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well… you were busy thinking and I wanted you to think so that you won't hurt poor Hinata-chan's feelings anymore" the kyuubi stated. With that naruto jumped to his feet and headed home.

On Hinata a little while earlier…
Hinata ran with all the strength she could summon her frail body. Tears stung her eyes. She was glad that she did not passed out when she heard Naruto talk about those unforgivable things. Yes, unforgivable because she could not forgive him for saying those things especially to Sakura. Her heart shattered in many small pieces and fell crashing all over the place. She did her best to love him, to show how much she cared about him, but now she knew that it was not enough.
"What did I ever do to you Naruto all I did was to love you… I don't deserve this!" she thought as crystal clear water flowed on her face.
"Hmn, the Hyuuga heir is crying", she heard a bystander say.
"Maybe that demon boy had done something to her.", another one replied.
"It only serves her right! She shouldn't have associated herself with that thing! Now look at what it did to her..." Hinata could hear what everyone wanted to say as she passed by the narrow streets of Konoha.
"Well they are right anyway..." she said indignantly as she covered her face with shame.
To him, she was just trash and too miserable to live with. Well at least now she understood this straight in her face, and one thing occurred to her mind: She should leave. It was the best thing to do. She should have given up a long time ago. But does she listen to herself. No! So now she has to carry her sorry ass back to her father's house and ask if he would help her.
She scrambled around the house to get her things because she doesn't want Naruto to still find her roaming around the house looking like the pathetic fool that she is when he comes back. She was better off without him, "From now on, I hate you Uzumaki Naruto", she said not really feeling anything.
With a last look around the house that she somewhat considered as her home, she stomped outside the house and vowed never to return (in his arms: sobs...) AGAIN!

Naruto rushed in front of their house to see Hinata but came to a halt in front of their doorway. "What will I tell her? Can she still forgive me for all the hurt I've caused her? What am I going to do? Oh man! There's one way to find out, here goes" he pushed to the door and called her name but cold silence answered him back.
"Hinata! Hinata-chan..." he kept on calling her name, trying to push bad thoughts behind the back of his head.
"Where's Hinata? She should be in here now." he proceeded to their room and was greeted by an open closet, empty of Hinata's belongings. His head was somewhat spinning at the sight of it but he decided to be optimistic.
''Wait a minute something's wrong here", his heart was thumping louder and louder as he opened the connecting door to Hinata's room. There is still no evidence of her around.
"Kit I think your wife left you…" the kyuubi said after a while. His heart just sank many meters way below the ground…
After the shock of his life, he sprinted up and walked outside the house…
"I know where I could find her… Oh God! She couldn't leave me, I know she loves me", still trying to be optimistic... he walked determined on where to go, hysterically talking to himself.

Hinata headed back to the Hyuuga mansion. She looks like a mess and she doesn't know if Hiashi would accept her but she has to try. She has no where to go.
"Hinata-hime, what happened to you?!" the guards have a look of concern in there eyes. Their poor princess looks ten years older and she was carrying most of her belongings. If that bastard kitsune container did this to her, they sure would gladly kill him.
"Is father around, I would like to talk to him" she was trying her best to hold back her tears. She can't take the looks that the guards are giving her. It made her feel worse than what she already felt. But she has to do this. She's willing even if she has to beg. This is the only way she could protect her unborn child. In the streets, she could do nothing.
"Yeah, this is the only thing I could do for you my love", she said as she caressed her belly.
"Hai Hinata-sama" and with that they took Hinata's luggage.
Hinata, relieved of the things she was previously carrying, proceeded to the main house. She would ask her father if she could stay in the mansion even if it means she has to be on her knees to make her father oblige. She wiped away the tears in her face and tried to make herself more presentable. She doesn't want to offend his father by appearing in from of him looking like trash. Her father certainly wouldn't like that. She knocked once and waited…
"Come in", Hiashi was sure that it was her daughter Hinata. He sensed her aura from the moment she entered the compound and he doesn't like what he's feeling. He was surprised to see the look on his daughter's face as she enters the room. Her disheveled state cannot be hidden by the smile she wore on her face. And he knows who the responsible guy for this is. Oh, how he would love to place his hands around that boy's neck, but he retained his passive face.
"What brings you here Hinata?"
Hinata can't take it anymore so she broke down. Tears fell down her cheeks as she felt more remorseful for herself.
"I came to ask you Otousan if I can stay here… I'm pregnant and I have nowhere to go… I'll accept any of your conditions even if it means I get to live at the branch family house" she was practically begging as more tears came flooding her beautiful face, Hiashi can't bear it anymore.
He was on his daughter's side in an instant. All these years, he had restrained himself of showing love to his daughters thinking that distant cold treatment could make them grow stronger. But now he could clearly see where it led them. For Hinata to ask live with the branch family just to get help from him has literally pained him. It only means that his daughter doesn't have enough faith in him, for her to think that he would reject her in this state. He somehow thanked the kyuubi container for what he had done because it had been an eye opener for him. He now had a chance to straighten things out between him and Hinata. But God help him; he would not spare anyone who had hurt his daughter.
"You could stay here Hinata" she heard her father say in the gentlest way she had never heard him say before. She was also stunned by the fact that his arms were around her in a comforting hug. It just made her cry even more. She just cried there in her father's embrace the whole time. Maybe there is a good thing on what happened to her. God has His many strange ways…
"Let me enter! I just wanted to talk to my wife. Get your hands of me!" she could hear someone demanding outside the the Hyuuga compound and she instantly knew who it was.
"Come with me Hinata" she heard her father muffled. "One way or another you have to face him. Don't worry I'll back you up this time.
