(NOTE: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN ANY WAY)
Chapter 5 "Drugged by the medicine"
Naruto was to be operated right away. Tsunade was shouting orders to everybody who got in her way. "Iruka! Get the other shinobi out of the town hall! Tell his friends what has happened! Get them here! QUICK! Jiraiya, don't just stand there and be petrified! Help us! " she looked around and saw Hinata standing in front of the operating rooms window looking horrified. "Kakashi!" she whispered this time "Get her out of here! She's not supposed to see him like this!"
"But why? She's a grown girl, she can take care of herself" he was missing the basic point here. "Because she is in love with him you moron!!! Now get! Take this medicine and give it to her, she will doze off in no time" "Oh! Right." He went outside to see her. "Hinata,here. Take this medicine. It will help. Why don't you come with me?" "No…I…have t..to…s.stay…can't leave…him…"she broke into tears but swallowed the pill he gave her. Kakashi led her out of the operating area and into an empty hospital room. Just then Iruka came in with Sasuke, Shino, Kiba and Sakura. Iruka himself was in a total state of shock, after seeing Naruto hurt so badly. "Umm…Iruka, you don't look to good. Let's leave the kids alone…" before Kakashi walked outside with Iruka he said quietly to them that she had taken some medicine and would doze off soon. With that he shut the door. "Hinata!" Kiba ran to the crying girl and hugged her tightly. "What happened?!"
"I…I…! Naruto…he…" just saying his name made her breakout into sobs. "Hinata-chan! Please! Don't cry! We're here!" Sakura took her out of Kiba's strong arms and hugged her instead. "Here, sit down!" she led her to the bed. After Hinata sat down and her crying ceased a bit they all sat around her trying to comfort her. But it didn't work out that well because Hinata just realized that she had some of Naruto's blood on her Jacket. "Tell us what happened." Said Shino, trying to sound comforting. He had never seen Hinata lose it so much. "I…He… we were first to fight and…" she sobbed the whole time but tried to concentrate on telling them what had happened.
"We knew…fight against each other…I knew…I had mind jutsu…talking to him… my thoughts… we could see the memories of one another…feel same feelings…he showed me…one memory…he saw…he saw" she looked at Kiba, tears running down her face even more now. "Kiss…in woods…"
"Kiss?!?!" Sakura and the usually so cool Shino stammered. "What? When? Who??" Sakura was good friends with Hinata but she never told her about a kiss. Shino had an idea but he did NOT like it AT ALL. "Kiba, did you…?" Kiba meanwhile, had backed away and had shock written all over his face. He was as red as a tomato and was standing there with a look that told Shino everything. "Sakura, Shino, I think we should leave them alone for a few minutes." That was the first thing Sasuke had said since they had entered the room."I…Hinata-chan…we'll be right back…" Sakura said looking sad and concerned at her dear friend. Shino was still standing in the room looking at Kiba with a disgusted look on his normally neutral face. "Shino, we should go!" Sakura pulled him out of the room. But before he left he let a little green insect stay in the room, barely visible to see. It was a hearing bug, so that outside they could hear what was going on between the two. "Hinata…he was there? He…saw?" Kiba was still in love with her, but the idea of Naruto watching what he had done made him ill. "Yes…" tears were rushing down her face like miniature waterfalls. She had stopped sobbing, though. "I…I am…sorry… but I love you so much…I couldn't help but kiss you! ("WHAAAAT?!?!" Sasuke had to put a hand over Sakura's mouth)
The words you said…the tears you cried back then…they have haunted me ever since. I…am truly…sorry" now Kiba was crying as well. Outside the door Sakura and Shino were having a fit. "Kiba-kun…I…don't be… Naruto…he..." she turned a deep red "he…kissed me…" ("WHAAAT?!?!" Okay Sasuke... Now Sakura had to put a hand over his mouth.) Kiba suddenly was angry, not sad anymore. "He kissed you? Why did he do that?!" "I…don't know…but he saved me…he said he liked me…more than he admitted…and he probably will d…" she couldn't say the last word. It was too horrible to think. She burst into tears again and Kiba forgot his angriness and hugged her again. Even tighter this time. "Hinata Hyuuga…why do I have to feel so much for you?" he asked, crying. "Kiba…I…" she felt as though she was in Naruto's arms again. So warm and comfortable…and the medicine was slowly kicking in. "Would it matter if I kissed you again?" Kiba asked. Hinata hesitated but since she thought she lay in Naruto's and not in Kiba's arms, she said "No…" Kiba was overjoyed but didn't know if this was the right thing to do. He shoved his conscious aside and before he kissed her, Hinata said so quietly only Shino's bug could hear "Naruto…" They kissed. Outside they were staring at each other, really scared. Sakura's mouth hung open and she was taken quite aback. Nobody knew what to say. "She said Naruto, right?" Sakura said quietly. "Yes…" Sasuke was at a loss of words. The first one to come back to reality was Shino "It must be the medicine! She thinks she is kissing Naruto!"
"But what do we do now?" Sasuke wasn't the type of guy who knew how to handle these things. Thank god Shino was. "We wait till they…stop… and then we go in and I talk to him." "Talk to him is good!!" Sakura said sarcastically "I'd rather kick his ass!!" "Yeah… He took Naruto's girl away…that…isn't very…nice…" Sasuke was getting angry. "Why are you so angry Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, puzzled. "Well, think. If someone would take you from me I would…" Uups…he turned red and looked at Sakura. She was staring at him in utter disbelief but with a smile on her face. "Take me from …you?" she said, hoping she had heard right. "Umm…well…you are…I…oh god" He put his head in his hands "You two! Now isn't the time to talk about you! If you have forgotten, Kiba is sitting in there, kissing Hinata who thinks he's Naruto!!" Meanwhile in the room, Kiba and Hinata broke their kiss and Kiba looked at her, the one he loved. "I…I am so…tired…" Hinata could barely keep her eyes open. "Then sleep. You had a lot to deal with today" Just in that moment, Shino came in with Sakura and Sasuke, who were both very red. "Are you finished?" Shino asked him impatiently. "Yeah…she just fell asleep." He replied, looking perfectly happy. "Then I have to talk to you. Outside" Shino turned his back on him and marched away. "O…Okay." Kiba followed. Out of earshot, standing in front of the window of Hinata's room, Shino started shouting "What do you thinkin…No! Do you even stop to think these days?!?! How could you kiss her?!?! AGAIN!?! You KNOW she doesn't love you!! What do you think Naruto will say when he finds out?!!!" "Now, wait a second!!" Kiba was startled "She said she didn't mind if I kissed her!" Kiba suddenly realized something
"Hold the phone! Why do you even know this?!"
"I sent a hearing bug in there! I couldn't leave her alone! Surely not alone with YOU!"
"You WHAT?! How could you?!"
"You kissed her!"
"She said yes!!"
"No, you idiot! She thought you were Naruto! She was drugged by the medicine!"
"Prove it!"
"If I must." He held out his hand and a little green bug appeared. "Tell him"
And as if a radio was turned on, the sound of Kiba's voice came out of nowhere.
"He kissed you? Why did he do that?!"
"I…don't know…but he saved me…and probably will d…"
She cried.
"Hinata Hyuuga…why do I have to feel so much for you?"
"Kiba…I…"
"Would it matter if I kissed you again?"
"No…"
"Naruto…"
Kiba was staring at the bug, wishing it would stop. "But…I…Naruto…oh god!!" he fell to his knees and started sobbing, even harder than Hinata had. "I am such an idiot!"
Shino bent down to him "We all make mistakes. She won't remember though. So you're saved" Kiba stopped, thinking. If she wouldn't know what had happened, it would be okay. He stood up "Thank you, Shino. I think I'm alright now. Let's go back."
"Alright." When they came into the room they stopped in their tracks. Sakura and Sasuke were kissing, totally oblivious to them. Shino coughed. They broke their kiss fast and looked to the floor. "Umm…everything sorted out, then?" Sasuke asked.
Shino and Kiba started laughing. It was just too funny. "I think we ought to let Hinata sleep." Suggested Shino after having stopped laughing. "Okay…" then they all left.
