(NOTE: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN ANY WAY)
Chapter 6 "My worst nightmare"
In the operating room everything was going good. They finished healing Naruto and transported him to a room. He was very week and slept for a long time. Every night, he had the same nightmare. Always standing in the room full of giggling girls, seeing Hinata kiss Kiba. On one night however, his dream was different. He was standing in the arena where he had been supposed to fight against Hinata, only the arena was lit. Hinata was lying on the floor, Sakura, Shino, Sasuke and Kiba around her. Sakura and the others left, leaving only Kiba and Hinata.
Kiba started talking "Hinata Hyuuga…you are beautiful" He took her into his arms. Hinata smiled back at him "Kiba…I"
He kissed her. It was only a short kiss though, just like the peck of a bird.
"There. Now I have Naruto's kiss." He wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "And now he has never kissed you before. And I…Could I…" This scene reminded Naruto of something. As if he was having a déjà-vu. Kiba looked very shy now, but then his willpower returned to him. "May I kiss you?" he asked looking her direct in the eyes. Now it dawned on Naruto. This is exactly what he did as he wanted to kiss Hinata! But she couldn't say yes to him, she just couldn't! "Kiba, I love you" Naruto's heart stopped. The pain he was feeling was unbearable. "NOOO!! HINATA!! STOP!!" but she couldn't hear him. She bent forward and kissed Kiba. "NOOOOOOO!!!" Naruto was rampaging in his bed, the medics couldn't hold him down "Hinata! No!" he kept moaning "Don't kiss him…please…don't kiss him…"
"Is he having those nightmares again?" Sakura was also trying to hold him.
"Yes! It must be really terrible this time! He usually only moans and shivers!" Lee kept losing his grip on Naruto's arm. Tsunade came in and looked at Naruto with a worried expression on her face. "I wonder what's keeping him from waking up" she said. "What?" Sasuke looked alarmed. "He should have woken up days ago" Tsunade wasn't happy about what was going on. He kept on saying Hinata's name and that she shouldn't kiss him. Hmm…what did this mean? Who was this 'him'? "You don't think he knows what happened a few days ago?" Shino quietly asked Sakura so that Tsunade could not hear. At least he thought so. "What Happened a few days ago?!" Tsunade asked and expected an answer. The three teenagers looked at each other (well, Lee didn't because he didn't know WHAT had happened a few days ago) alarmed. Sakura was looking at Shino with a look that said 'couldn't you have kept your dumb mouth shut?' and Sasuke was looking at him like 'tell me, what are you going to do now, you idiot?' "I will tell you." Shino gave in to Tsunade who smiled mockingly in return. "We went to visit Hinata on the day the competition was. There were Sakura, Sasuke, me and well…Kiba. We tried to comfort her and she tried to tell us what was going on and why they were in a hospital. So she began talking about…a kiss…and she was looking at Kiba and cried even harder. We decided to leave the two of them alone, you know, to sort things out and I left one of my hearing bugs inside so we could hear what their problem was. And…umm…" Shino didn't want to go on. "Do you still have the bug?" Tsunade inquired. Damn. Shino had hoped she wouldn't ask that. "Yes…" he said, fearing it was Kiba's doom. "But I think we shouldn't hear it in front of him" Shino said, worrying that he might hear it. "Okay." They went outside, into the hallway. And just as he did with Kiba he let the bug fly outside and said "Tell us" and it began from the second Shino had left the room. It was terrible to hear it again. When it stopped, Tsunade had a look of outrage etched upon her face. "Where is that dog?!?" Tsunade started hollering. "What…? He's with Hinata…he said he didn't want to disturb Naruto and stayed with her since she is also sleeping." Sakura backed away as she saw in what state her master was in "What are you going to do with him?" "I will put the fear of god into him if anything goes wrong with Naruto!!"
She stormed down the corridor and into Hinata's room where Kiba was playing fetch with Akamaru. "YOU!!' Tsunade ran towards him, grabbing the startled guy by his collar. "Do you know what you have DONE?!?!" "What?" "Naruto is having 'Realistic Nightmares'!"
"What's that to do with me?"
"Do you know what he yells every night? He yells "Hinata, don't kiss him" do you have any ideas who could be meant with 'him'?? You!! And he is almost going to have a vision! A vision of, guess what? You kissing Hinata last week!! And if that happens, he will wake up, and will not know who she is! And so help me, I am gonna kick your ass, if he breaks her heart!"
"I…" Kiba was shocked "Can't we do something against it?" he managed to say. Tsunade let go of him. "Yes, we can. No," she looked to Hinata "She can. Wake her up, Sakura. We have to get her to him as fast as we can. Thank god it's still morning." "But, Shou-sama, she has slept as long as Naruto has…can we wake her?"
"Yes, the medicine should be wearing off by now." Sakura nodded and went to the pale girl lying in the bed. "Hinata-chan, Hinata-chan, please wake up!" She nudged her in the shoulder. Hinata stirred "Yes! That's the spirit! Open your eyes!" Hinata blinked and looked around. "Where am I?" "You are in the hospital. Naruto needs you now. Can you come with me?" Tsunade asked patiently. "I…Naruto? Where is he?"
