I don't own Naruto and don't get paid for this.
Chapter 2: The End of His Beatings
They watched Naruto as he walked back into his room and slammed his door. Hinata stared at the wall that housed all the people they lost up until now. She looked at the picture of her little sister. She just stared and then walked off to prepare lunch with the rations few rations they had left. Juugo watched Hinata and gave her a blank expression. Shikamaru came up to her and asked "You ok?" "DO I LOOK OK!" exclaimed Hinata. Naruto then opened the door to his room and said "Hinata... Get in here".
She took the walk of shame to his room and Naruto closed the door behind her. For the next five minutes all they heard was the muffled screams of Hinata and the yelling of Naruto. Sakura then asked "How can you all let him do this to her?" "The same reason you don't to anything as well" responded Shino "You are afraid Naruto will kill you just like he did Sasuke".
"Naruto would never do that to me or any of us. Sasuke was a Special circumstance."
"You forget that Sasuke and Naruto became closer than you and him once he returned to help in the fight"
"JUST SHUT IT SHINO!"
"Point proven"
When the arguing stopped everyone realized how quiet it was. They went up to the door and put their ears upon it. They heard the faint sounds of Hinata crying. Risking her life, Sakura opened the door as everyone stepped back. Her eyes widened as she saw Hinata standing over Naruto with a bed pole in hand crying. Naruto was bleeding profusely from his head. You could see the surprise in his eyes as blood keep running. The hole in his head then regenerated in seconds and Naruto stood up. Hinata scurried to a corner and whimpered in fetal position "I'm sorry... so sorry Naruto." She began to cry as Naruto walked up to her with a kunai in hand.
He stood over her as his shadow enveloped her and had a crazed face that rivalled that of Uchiha Madara. He brought the kunai over his head and then froze. He stared at Hinata. Just staring at her and then all the things this girl allowed him to do to her. Just because she loved him. He dropped the kunai and began to weep.
Shikamaru breathed a sigh as they didn't need to deaths today. Naruto walked up to the door and told them he need to talk to Hinata alone. He shut the door and walked over to the bed. He stared at her and patted the bed. Hinata got up and walked slow to the bed, trying to be as cautious as she could. Naruto then said two words she thought she would never hear from his mouth after all this time.
"I apologize"
She was surprised to say the least. He then continued to talk and said.
"I never should have hurt you like I have done since the Konoha Invasion. Its just with all that has happened, I get so frustrated and and and..." He couldn't finish what he was thinking and began to cry more. As he tried Hinata tried to stay strong in front of him. She didn't want him to see the worry for him she was really thinking. She then couldn't handle it anymore and wrapped her arms around him. "Its ok Naruto. I shoould have helped you instead just stood there and took your beatings. I should have just supported you more."
Naruto couldn't believe his ears. He sat there and listen to what she was saying. He couldn't understand how she could love him so much. "Hinata" he said with the utmost saddened voice.
"I think we need to keep some distance from each other, Hinata. I don't want to hurt you again. Especially after all that you have done for me. It would shatter my soul if I was to someday kill you because of my frustrations."
"NO! I won't seperate myself from you out of fear. You've already seen that I can handle myself. I need you Naruto. You are the only reason I can get up after all these days."
"Hinata"
She countinued "I get up everyday because I have faith that one day, you will stop the beatings and forcing yourself upon me so I can love you again. I won't lose you like Kiba, I won't lose you like father and I definitely won't lose you like Hanabi! I love you Uzumaki Naruto and I won't give up on.."
Naruto interrupted her with a kiss to her. She was hesitant at first but then embraced it. He then broke it and said "I love you tool, my beautiful Hyuuga Hinata."
"I want you Naruto"
"I want you too, but we can't now we have to go meet Orochimaru at the rendevous"
"...Ok"
Naruto and Hinata then got up and left his bedroom together. As they entered the room with the others, they could see the somewhat happy smiles on their faces. Sakura then walked up to Naruto and slapped across the face. "You better start treating her right!"
As Naruto brought his face up, everyone saw that crazed look again. "Just beacause I have staightened things out with Hinata-chan, doesn't mean I turned back into old Naruto you could push around!" He then sent a right hook across her face and said "Lets go meet the Snake"
