Author Note: Hello guys, I know its been awhile (more like forever) since I updated, and I am truly sorry. I had a lot of work to do and then there was the winter break so I slacked off and didn't do anything. When I got back to school after the break, I started working on the next chapter and suddenly it was finished, it took a couple of days to edit and fix the errors I could find but here it is. I hope you enjoy it.
Your friend, Gaara0Pawn :P
Hinata's Plan: Chapter 2: Hope
"Okay, he's stable, but the poison is still in his system. We need that antidote," said a faint voice.
Naruto's eyes opened to see he was once again in a hospital bed. Tired and unwilling to speak, Naruto listened to what was happening.
"Damn it- Shizune, get me a list of all available ninja left in the village," said Tsunade.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade," said Shizune as she rushed out of the room.
Tsunade pointed at a nearby nurse, "I need you to get Hinata in here right now."
In less than twenty seconds Hinata rushed into the room, "Is Naruto okay?"
"Hinata, please come here," said Tsunade as she gestured Hinata to move over to the bed. "Naruto inhaled a toxic fume when he entered the cave trying to save the old man's son. Unfortunately, the old man and his son also inhaled the toxic fume and have passed away at Natsuki Village Hospital.
"But will Naruto make it?" asked Hinata.
"Naruto has the ability to heal himself faster than any normal person can, and that is why he is still alive," said Tsunade.
Shizune rushed into the room. "I'm very sorry to inform you, Lady Tsunade, but there are no available ninja other then Hinata at the moment."
Tsunade looked away from Shizune and focused her attention back on Hinata, "Hinata I need the Ayaka Flower to finish the antidote I'm making for Naruto. The flower grows near a special water fall south of Konoha."
"I'll leave right away, Lady Tsunade, I'll get that flower and save Naruto," said Hinata with determination written on her face.
"Shizune, do you have the information on the Ayaka Flower with you?" asked Tsunade who was looking at Shizune.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade. I have it right here," said Shizune as she pulled out a piece of paper from the clipboard she had with her.
"Hinata, I don't know how long Naruto has left, so we need you to hurry," said Tsunade in a worried tone.
Hinata took the piece of paper from Shizune, "I understand, I will save Naruto," said Hinata, then ran out the door of the hospital room.
"Lady Tsunade, do you believe she can get the flower in time?" asked Shizune, her worry for Naruto evident in her voice.
"I know she can. Her love for Naruto is too strong for her to fail," answered Tsunade.
"She loves me," said Naruto in a very weak voice.
"Naruto, you're awake," said Shizune.
"Naruto- you amaze me all the time," thought Tsunade.
Naruto was barely able to move in his weakened condition, but was able to say a few words, "Granny can you tell Hinata something for me?" asked Naruto.
"Why is it that you can't tell her it yourself later when you're all better, just tell her yourself," said Tsunade.
"If I don't make it, tell Hinata- that I- love her-" said Naruto as he fell asleep.
Tsunade turned away from Naruto, walked to a nearby window and gazed outside.
"I said you'll be able to tell her yourself, and that's final, so hang in there for a little bit longer," said Tsunade as a tear fell from her face.

Two hours later, Hinata arrived at the waterfall that the information Shizune gave to her.
Hinata took out the sheet of paper from her bag and studied it. It read, "The Ayaka Flower is a special breed of Herb that have the ability to almost cure any illness when combined with the right material. It is said that the Ayaka Flower can only grow near the bottom of a waterfall in the Fire Country."
She searched around the bottom of the waterfall, looking for the flower and sure enough she found it. Hinata carfuly took out a small plastic container to place the flower in. She bent over, picked the flower and then placed it in the container. As she was placing the container in her backpack, she heard a small explosion from above.
It was a rock slide tumbling down from above her. Boulders fell towards Hinata, but she dodged the boulders, and as she did she saw two men at the top of the cliff. One was very tall and skinny, the other was short and chubby. She took out a kunai and hurled it at the ledge they were standing on, the kunai held an explosive tag on it, it exploded. The two men dodged the explosion and jumped into the forest below.
"Bitch, give us the flower and you won't get hurt," said one of the men from a far distance.
Hinata activated her Byakugan. She could see both men perfectly through the forest.
"No! Besides, why do you even need it?" asked Hinata, a little confused at why they needed it too.
"Not that it's any of your business, but our eldest brother was involved in a cave-in a day ago, the cave held toxic fumes that he didn't know about, that flower holds the antidote needed to cure the poison's my oldest brother, inhaled.
"Wait so you're the cause of the cave-in Naruto was in!" yelled Hinata.
"And what if we were?" yelled another voice, oviously the other brother.
Anger boiled in Hinata's heart, one tear fell from her face before she rushed at the two men with great speed. She yelled, "Because of you Naruto was injured, because of you Naruto is also poisoned, and because of you I might not get this flower to him in time; Byakugan!"
She moved into the trees with precise agility, jumped up a tree, hit the taller man in two vital points on his body, killing him. She took out two kunai from her pouch and threw them at the smaller guy. He dodged them, but didn't notice Hinata moving around him. He tried to move out of the way, but failed. She hit him several times in vital spots on his body, killing him as well.
Hinata settled down and took out the container that held the Ayake Flower to examine it. It was in fine condition. As she quickly head to Konoha she thought to herself. "I must thank Ino for giving this container to me on my last birthday."
-
Two hours later, Hinata arrived at Konoha. As Hinata approached the gate, she saw Sakura who had a sad look on her face. Hinata rushed up to Sakura.
"Whats wrong, Sakura?" asked Hinata, worried it might be about Naruto.
Sakura grabbed Hinata's hand, "I'll explain on the way, we need to get to the hospital."
Hinata's guess was correct, it was about Naruto, so she followed Sakura, as they headed towards the hospital.
-
A couple of minutes later, without Sakura saying a word, they were in the village and moving quickly to the hospital.
Sakura turned her attention to Hinata.
"I didn't know how to tell you this, but Naruto isn't doing very well, he's in a coma right now," said Sakura, a little sad she had to tell Hinata.
Hinata looked away from Sakura for a moment to hide her sad look on her face, for a momment she did not say a word, then Hinata looked back at Sakura with a smile.
"Then we still have time, right?" asked Hinata.
Both Hinata and Sakura jumped up to the roofs of the houses and made a quicker hast to the hospital. Hinata barged into the hospital, and ran to the room Naruto was in. Hinata opened the door to Naruto's room to see Tsunade using her medical ninjutsu on Naruto.
"How is Naruto doing!" shouted Hinata, in worry.
Naruto was breathing heavily and sweating.
"Hinata do you have the Flower?" asked Tsunade, trying to avoid answering Hinata's question.
"Yes, Tsunade, here it is," said Hinata as she pulled out the container that held the flower.
Hinata took out the flower from the container and handed it over to Tsunade, who mixed the flower in a mixture she had made earlier.
As Tsunade was getting the antidote ready, Hinata moved closer to Naruto. "Naruto, please be okay, I don't know what I'd do without you," said Hinata.
Tsunade rushed over to Naruto and gave him the medicine. After about thirty seconds, Naruto started to calm down.
"Tsunade, is Naruto going to make it?" asked Hinata.
"As I said before, Naruto has the ability to heal much quicker then normal people, so he has a higher chance," said Tsunade.
"But will he make it?" asked Hinata.
Tsunade looked at the ground with a worried stare, "It's too early to tell, we need to wait," said Tsunade who grabbed a seat for Hinata next to Naruto.
"You can stay here for a little longer but when night falls we'll have to send you home," said Tsunade.
Hinata sat down and started to go through Naruto's hair with her fingers, "I can come tomorrow, right?" asked Hinata.
"Yes, don't worry, I won't give you any missions for awhile," said Tsunade.
"Thank you Tsunade," said Hinata.
Tsunade headed for the door, but was stopped when Hinata spoke. "I'm truly in love with him, and I can't live without him. Please save him, Tsunade."
Tsunade didn't turn around, but continued to the door. "Don't worry Hinata, he's going to be fine," said Tsunade as she left the room.
Hinata looked over to the corner of his bed, on a small table laid Naruto's forehead protector. "You're the strongest person I know, and you never give up, so please come back so I can tell you how I feel." Hinata placed a kiss on Naruto's head and then got up from the seat.
She walked over to a window near her, and stared outside. It was dark and there were many stars shinning brightly.
"So many times I've wished to look at the stars with with you," said Hinata.
A voice came out from behind her, "Then let's watch them right now."
Hinata turned around with a smile on her face. "Naruto!"
Naruto was looking right at her with his sky blue eyes, Hinata forgot all about getting embarrassed and ran at him, she gave Naruto a huge hug.
"Naruto, I'm so glad you're awake," cried Hinata who was burying her face in his chest trying to hide her tears from him.
"Hinata," said Naruto.
She calmed down and looked up at Naruto who was slowly descending his head down towards her face. He stopped for a brief second to look into Hinata's lavender colored eyes, his nose touching hers, he bent his head slowly, and his lips finaly brushed hers. Both closed their eyes, as there lips interlocked each others'. Hinata threw her arms around Naruto, Naruto held her around the waist as the kiss continued. Their lips unlocked, Naruto slowly moved his head back to look into Hinata's eyes once more, she gazed into his as well.
"I'm so glad you're awake," said Hinata.
Naruto looked out the window from his bed. "They are beautiful aren't they."
Hinata looked out the window as well. "Yes they are."
"Hinata, how long was I out for?" asked Naruto looking down at Hinata who was now laying on his lap asleep.
Naruto laid back on the bed with Hinata cuddled up to him. As Naruto fell asleep he said, "Thank you Hinata, you've always been there for me."
Tsunade came back into the room sometime later to see both Naruto and Hinata cuddled up to each other, "Things are going to start to get a lot better for you Naruto, and I'll be there to watch over you."
