"You bitch take it back!" Keita yelled slashing her again across the face. Hinata fell collapsed to the ground.
This time when she tried again to stand she was slashed before she could, again she tried to move …
In mid swing Keita's wrist was grabbed twisted and broken. Keita retracted in pain.
Hinata looked up, she had been saved.
"Back off Keita." The voice growled.
Keita hissed. " Next time, there wont be someone there to save you." Her and the other girls disappeared.
"Hinata are you ok?"
She looked up but her voice wouldn't work, her wounds began to feel like fire, they burned and she curled into a ball holding them.
Her vision began to fade into a ring of darkness …
" Ki …. ba " she mumbled before passing out
After some time she woke up in the infirmary. She sat up quickly not knowing where she was but quickly got her bearings.
She glanced around. No one was there she sighed, laying back down on the bed. Not but an hour later the nurse came in.
"Feeling better." She smiled as Hinata sat up with a nod.
"Good, im Miss Croon, head nurse here at the academy." She slipped on a glove, "so how did you get these nasty cuts sweetie?"
"A…" Hinata didn't want to answer.
"You don't have to tell me anyway," she shrugged poking and prodding at the healing wounds. " I already wrote up your exam report."
"O."
"The nice boy who brought you in is finishing it up … says he found you like that in the hallway collapsed or something" she shrugged again. " but what do I know?"
Hinata glanced away from her out the window, she didn't want to tell her what really happened and get in more trouble with Keita's friends but she didn't want to be attacked again.
"Lucky your friend was there. Much longer that poison would have killed you…"
"Poison." The word came from her mouth in broken shaky syllables.
"Yes dear, you could have died if it had been in your system much longer. At any rate I think that boy is done now and waiting for you.
Hinata looked towards the door and he head moved away form the window and from listening.
Hinata let out a giggle and a soft smile.
"When you get your clothes back on and fold the gown put it in that basket" she pointed to a side of the room. "Then you may leave." With that the nurse stepped out.
After Hinata changed she went to the waiting room.
After which she was smothered in a hug that made her blush.
"Hinata I was so worried about you." His arms squeezed tighter around her tiny waist.
"im better now thank you." She gave a smile then brought her hand to her face covering the blush.
"lets go to your locker get your stuff then I can walk you home alright?"
"shure Sasuke-kun." She blushed again as they headed out of the nurses toward her hallway.
The hallway was brighter than she remembered and the light stung her eyes, she squinted. When she reached her locker she put in the combo. And glanced around the hallway.(flash)
"we know about you and Sasuke …." Keita spit the words out like fire. hinata's heart began to race as she remembered.
"he's mine." Keita slapped Hinata across the face. Instinctively she raised her hand to her face touching the clawed flesh.
"back off Keita." The voice growled. Kiba her heart cried out.
Keita hissed. " Next time, there wont be someone there to save you." Don't leave me! She screamed holding her pains.
"Hinata are you ok?" Don't leave me!
she looked up but her voice wouldn't work, her wounds began to feel like fire, they burned and she curled into a ball holding them. Come back to me why can't I be with you, why cant you hold me like we used too?
Her vision began to fade into a ring of darkness … Don't leave me!
" Ki …. ba " she mumbled before passing out. No! I need you come back!
(end) "Hinata"
"hmm…" she turned to face him.
"you ok?"
"im fine." She hadn't noticed she had been standing hand mid-air going to pull a book from her shelf for the last few minutes. She tired to give him a reassuring smile.
She packed her bag and they headed out. This time walking on the sidewalk instead of their usually rooftop route.
xXx Sasuke P.o.v. xXx
Hinata seemed distant from him. Though he couldn't blame her.
"so I guess your not sick anymore?" she gave a weak smile.
"im better, took some medicine …"
"im glad."
"you seem better too, looks like your over the flu." She gave an unsteady smile.
Silence hung well over in the air. It seemed thick.
"well here I am." Hinata smiled, as sasuke kissed her forehead.
He leaned down whispering in her ear, id kiss you on the mouth but I just got better and I don't want you to get sick with anything if I still have something" she blushed at his thoughtfulness. " and your cousin might kill me."
She turned to see Neji watching her, then turned to see Sasuke had disappeared already.
"Hinata, Hashi is looking for you …" Neji sighed, " it doesn't sound good."
"if he wants to talk he'll find me." Hinata glanced up to see the shocked expression on his face. " I need to rest, orders from the nurse."
"ok, but im not telling him your answer." Neji turned and walked away.
Hinata made her way to her room with random glares and stares from members of her family, she even decided to skip supper that night. She laid curled and cuddled in her blankets and on her warm bed her soft pillow…
But she was unable to sleep, she tossed and turned. Why am I even doing this I should be sleeping but she couldn't seem to Kiba's face from her mind she didn't understand why he kept coming to her mind….
Call him… no don't… its your fault he isn't even talking to you…but he saved me…no Sasuke saved you he was the one in the nurses office Not Kiba … she tried so hard to talk herself out of it… but …
It was ringing the phone was ringing she had dialed his number … another ring passed then another and another finally the answering machine.
"its Kiba, if you don't know what to do at the sound I can't help you." – beep –
"hi … a… it's me … I mean .. a … Hinata … I was wondering where you are …. I miss you-" she yelled the final part and hung up the phone.
What are you doing Hinata pull yourself together. She waited a few minutes than called back… - beep –
"its me… Hinata … again … and i…a…just wanted to say … thank you … I owe you …. And …a…if you …ever need anything…. Let me know…" she took a long pause " a… bye …." She hung up the phone and sighed loudly slumping into a ball on the floor phone next to her.
suddenly it rang. She looked to it mouth a gape with surprise.
She had to get it before someone else heard it … but what if it was Kiba … what was she going to do?
