Only You Understand My Pain
Kakashi x Hinata
Chapter 2
Drawn To You
Walking through the village he made his way towards the hospital unsure why he felt the need to see how she was. He barely talked to the girl except for a few missions scattered here and there through the years. Maybe it was his need to understand how such a small woman could take down one of the notorious Akatsuki and survive. He remembered the determined look in her eyes as she stood over her fallen teammates protecting them like a mother would a child. It seemed to haunt his sleep. It had only been two days since it had all gone down. Preparations for the memorial services that would be held in four days had begun. Pushing through the hospital doors he made his way to the critical care unit.
"Kakashi what are you doing here?" Shizune asked getting up from the nurse's desk.
"I was just wondering how Hinata Hyuga was doing?" He watched as she sighed her eyes sad.
"She woke up this morning but we had to sedate her. I am afraid she is not taking their deaths well. Also Lady Tsunade can not figure out why the laceration on her face will not heal. I am starting to suspect her body itself is refusing the healing out of some sort of self punishment. " Her eyes drifting to young Hyuga's room.
"Has her family been here?" He asked quietly shifting uncomfortable.
"No!" Her voice turning hard. "Damn Hyuga clan! I swear the lot of them are just pure evil. Hinata is the only pure soul in that whole damn clan. Hiashi has refused to visit and has forbidden the clan as well. Though Neji did sneak in last night. Silly boy thought I didn't see him."
"Why would Hishi…"Her hand went up halting his words.
"He thinks Hinata is a disgrace for letting her teammates die." She fumed. "Cruel bastard!"
"That makes no sense. His daughter defeated an Akatsuki. She is lucky to have even survived. I watched her use all of her chakra trying to save them."
"Don't bother preaching to me I fully agree." She waved her hand in the air dismissively.
"Look I need to get back to work." She stood for a second studying him curiously. "You can go in a see her if you like." She turned walking down the hall not waiting to see what he did. Standing there in front of her room his mind conflicted unsure of what he should do. Finally he slowly pushed the door. She looked so pale almost unearthly as if she was a spirit resting as she passed through the living world. Even the multiple bandages didn't deter the heavenly look on her face. Her midnight blue hair flowing across the stark white pillow like a halo.
"Hinata" Her name a whisper leaving his tongue before he even realized it. His hand slowly brushing the strand of hair that had fallen across her face. A small sigh leaving her cold lips. Pulling his hand back he chastised himself.
'What the hell am I doing here? She is just one of many injured what makes her so damn special." Pulling the door open he could not stop from looking back one more time. Stuffing his hands in his pocket he made his way back home his mind having an internal conflict of emotions.
"Why am I so drawn to her when I was never before?"
