A change of heart
A.N: sorry for not updating soon…
Chapter 2
"HINATA-CHAN!!" Naruto's voice boomed across the room, startling the sleeping Hinata.
"Quite, Naruto. She needs all the rest she could have." Tsunade answered back. It was 3 days after Hinata's operation, and the visitors were already allowed to visit the patient. At the room where Neji and Tenten, Hanabi, Hinata's teammates along with Akamaru, Tsunade, and lastly Naruto.
"I'm happy that her operation was a success…but what about Sasu—"
"Shh!" Tsunade's quick hand cupped Tenten's mouth and whispered, "It's not the time to say that."
Tenten nodded humbly and apologized. After all, who was she to know about Sasuke's condition?
Upon the mention of Sasuke's name, Naruto sadly bowed his head down id despair. The old 'hag' had him quarantined. They still could not find any reason why the prodigy came back to Konoha with the bodies of Sakura, Shikamaru, and the Sand nin. There was no logic in it, to return their bodies at the gate of Konoha herself but not telling the exact reason.
"Tell me…tell me when Hinata wakes up, will you? I'm taking a walk…" Naruto commented and slowly lifted his feet towards the door. Hinata was still calmly sleeping on the hospital bed, her breath slowly coming at a steady pace.
"Well, seems like everything's fine now." Tsunade remarked as the Door closed to a thud, "I'm going to arrange some things. Bye, everyone." And with that she, too, left.
Awkward silence fell next. But Hinata opened her eyes and shattered it.
"Hinata…Hinata? Are you okay?" Kiba's worried eyes stared at the lavender ones.
"K-kiba-kun? Is..that you?"
And as if on cue, Akamaru jumped onto Hinata to prove that it was indeed Kiba and Him.
Akamru started licking Hinata on her cheek, tickling her.
"Oh, stop it Akamru! Please stop it!" She said with giggles of laughter.
"Oi, Akamaru! She might have a heart attack with what you're doing. Come down this instant."
Obediently the enormous dog happily leaped down from the bed.
Hinata weakly sat on her bed and glanced at her friends. She was happy to see them again, but her heart sank hard when she didn't see Naruto on the room.
"Oh, I remember!" Tenten snapped her fingers, "I'm having an appointment with sir Gai… I hope it's not about that jumpsuit again. Oh well, it's nice to see you safe and sound Hinata. Get well soon, okay?" She said with a smile and swiftly went out of the room.
"Nii-chan…is everything alright at the clan?"
"Yes, please don't worry about that. Right now I want you to have your rest."
"I'm hungry…"
"Oh, that reminds me…" Kiba then tugged Shino's sleeves, "Oi Shino! Didn't we bring her some dumplings and sushi? I told you she'll be hungry after three days of sleeping!"
"T-three days…? I've been sleeping for three days?"
"Yep." Kiba replied as he handed Hinata the Kiba-and-Shino-plus-Akamaru-made dumplings on her lap and gave her chopsticks to eat.
"oh, didn't Naruto said to call him when Hinata wakes up?"
"Yeah, he did." Was Shino's reply. So with that the two made their way to call out the blonde boy. As they walked out, HInata happily munched her food. But something was feeling wrong.
Naruto wanted to see her when she wakes up! Shouldn't she be glad? She should be glad… but…right now…why isn't she?
Sorry for the short and boring chapter. I'll do better next time promise!
