The next morning, Hinata awoke still very tired as she kept waking up in the night from Itachi's eyes haunting her dreams. She sat up groggily in the sunlight, noticing Sakura was still sleeping as well. She made sure to make as little noise as possible when she got up and left the room. Hinata walked into her own room once more, still in her nightgown and looked at the alarm clock sitting on the end table next to the lamp.

'So it's only eight o'clock, huh?' she thought herself.

Hinata rummaged through the drawers of the dresser and grabbed out some old clothes Sakura had given her so that Hinata had something to wear when cleaning. Sakura had told Hinata she didn't need to clean but Hinata had insisted since she was living under their roof for no cost.

After doing her usual morning routine, Hinata changed and walked into the kitchen. She pulled the cupboards under the sink open and fortunately found some cleaning supplies. After seeing the bathroom last night, she decided to clean it as an apology for waking them all up.

She grabbed a bucket from the closet in the kitchen along with an old rag. After gathering up her supplies in the bucket, Hinata walked into the bathroom. The mold looked as if it had expanded since last night but she ignored that for the moment because it creeped her out but ignoring it didn't last long because the mold seemed ready to attack her.

Hinata grabbed the bleach and poured some on the mold to let it soak and it immediately began to take effect. She picked up all the clothes and towels and brought them to the washer and put those in. After starting that, she began scrubbing the bathtub, sink, floors, and walls where they needed it so she was scrubbing everywhere.

Hinata heard the washer buzz and stopped her scrubbing but before she left the bathroom, she poured a bit more bleach on the mold since it had seemed to soak up the previous stuff but it had also decreased in size. Hinata took the clothes and towels from the washer and put them in the dryer. After completing that, she walked back into the bathroom and scrubbed at the moldy spot which she had held off to do last.

Hinata stood on the threshold of the bathroom and looked at her work proudly. Everything was clean, neat, and orderly. The clothes and towels were neatly folded on the dryer waiting for their respective owners to claim them. Having her own bathroom she hadn't ever realized how dirty theirs was or she would have cleaned it sooner. Naruto had woken up and was walking by Hinata, still in his pajamas, when he noticed the bathroom.

"Whoa..." was all he could say at the immaculately clean bathroom.

Hinata became startled and jumped when she heard someone behind her.

"G-good morning, N-Naruto." she said with a small smile. "Anything you m-may have h-had in there is on the d-dryer." continued Hinata with a light blush on your cheeks, hoping he wasn't offended at her for going through their things.

"Thanks! It looks tons better!" said Naruto with his big cheesy grin as he walked into the laundry room.

"You're welcome." said Hinata as he walked away.

Hinata walked back into her room and changed into some jeans and a slightly baggy light blue T-shirt. As she was changing, she could hear Naruto yelling from the laundry room.

"Sweet! My lucky boxers! I thought they were lost forever!!" yelled Naruto. "Thanks, Hinata! I'll make you some cereal, too!"

Hinata blushed as she hadn't realized those were someone's underwear, she thought they were gym shorts. Pushing the thought out of her mind, she washed her hands in her bathroom to free herself from the chemicals she had used. When that was done, she decided to join Naruto for breakfast since she had worked up an appetite with cleaning. She didn't want Naruto to go through the trouble of making her food so she hurried into the kitchen.

Hinata was smiling as she walked into the kitchen but the smile faded when she saw Naruto lying on the ground next to a milk carton which was releasing its contents around him.

"N-Naruto! Are y-you okay?!" asked Hinata as she began to rush towards him.

Before Hinata could take more than a couple of steps into the kitchen, something pushed her pressure points on her neck, causing her to pass out and seeing only darkness.

Author's Notes

I'm sorry this chapter was really short as well. And I realize it's pretty much Hinata cleaning but I'll get the next one up right away! I promise the next chapter will be more than just cleaning!
