- Chapter 2 -

"Hinata your...awake" said the yellow haired boy as he stared shocked at Hinata. But the young beauty was also equally as shocked.

The two looked blindly at one another not daring to say anything at all. Hinata felt her heart ache, as she pressed her small fist to her chest, trying to cause the rapid pounding in her chest to stop. The silence was killing both young teens as Naruto was about to say something, but he was cut short due to Hinata speaking first.

"Na-Naruto-kun? How are you?" Hinata was barley able to speak. She felt her breath thicken, it was amazing the way he could make her feel. Why did he have such a powerful affect on her?

Just before Naruto was about respond he couldn't help but notice Hinata. She was so scared. Her lips where slightly blue with cuts. Her arms, which can clearly be seen in her hospital gown, were bruised. He hated how she looked, it was so hard to even look at her.

"I'm sorry Hinata, this is all my fault..." He said sadly as he avoided his eyes from her. But for some reason when he said that Hinata felt something. Something that felt like hope.

'D-Does he know? Does h-he know that I saw him kiss Sakura-chan?' Her broken heart started to tremble at the thought of him knowing. 'Is he here to-to tell me he's s-sorry?' She was hoping, Hoping that he was, hoping that he was going to apologize and this whole thing was going to be a big mistake and that Sakura forced her self on him. Right now...all she had was hope.

Her hands went down to her bed sheets as she gripped them tightly while biting down on her bottom lip.

"...it's my fault that you stayed behind..."

'All you have to say is that it was a mistake...'

"...because you wanted to wait for me and walk home together..."

'...That's all you have to say...'

"...But you..."

'...and everything can be like it was. With you and me and all the love we've made. This whole thing can be all a bad dream! All you need to say is that it was a mistake!' Hinata felt her wile body shiver, all she truly wanted was for her and Naruto to go back to the way they where! and all he had to do was apologize. Just one 'I'm sorry!' and she'd take him back.

HInata started to feel little tears of happiness grow at the side of her eyes. This whole accident was just going to be a horrible, bad dream!

"...Couldn't find me because I went straight home after the council meeting and so you went home and you got into an accident. It's all my fault!" Naruto finished as he rushed up to her and gave her a big hug.

Hinata was shocked. Never in all her life had she felt such an empty and meaningless hug. She didn't hug him back as she continued to try to hold back the tears that where trying to escape.

'He l-lied to m-me...he was n-never g-going to tell me th-that he and S-Sakura-chan kissed! How can I b-be so stupid! H-he cheated o-on me an-and I-I was e-even g-going to t-take him back! Stupid! St-Stupid! Stupid!' Once again that bad pain in her cheat came, but this time it was not only because of Naruto but because of her own stupidity. 'D-Don't cry...you ca-can't, not anymore!'

Naruto slowly pulled away as he was just about to sit down, on a set that was close to Hinata's bed, when he imminently stopped, when he heard what Hinata said. His eyes widen as he looked at her in shock. Hinata didn't look back as she stared down at her bed sheets, with Her navy blue bangs covering her eyes.

"Hinata?"

Hinata stood still, as she gripped on to her bed sheets even more tightly then before, as she felt the pain of her over ground nails digging into her nails.

"Like I-I said, I think we should b-b-break up."

The room filled with silence once again as the two didn't say a word. Naruto stared at Hinata in disbelief. Never would he had thought that little sweet Hinata would break up with him. She was way to shy and timid for that. But what truly cough this attention, was what she said next.

"You and I-I both know th-that you didn't go straight h-home. I saw you" she said as she started to tremble.

Naruto couldn't help but be shocked. 'she knew! but how?!' the thought of Hinata knowing about him and Sakura's little afar sent shivers down his spine.

"Naruto I-I think its b-best for you to leave now. I gauss w-we where j-just never truly m-meant to be." Naruto felt his heart break just little at her words.

Naruto had always liked Hinata but when Sakura kissed him he couldn't help but kiss her back. It was like he was testing her out. Naruto liked Sakura for a long time, but the time Hinata told him that she liked him, he was so filled with happiness in the fact that someone actually liked him and so tired of being rejected that he accepted her love. But he slowly came to terms that he might truly be in love with Hinata. But Sakura just had to mess that up. She was literally throwing herself at him everyday for some strange reason. But one night right after the council meeting he had enough and confronted her about it, and that was also the same night Hinata got into the accident.

Sakura pressed her lips to Naruto and he gave in. He just had to know how it felt like to kiss the girl he once cared for so deeply.

But as we all know, everything comes with a cost.

Naruto didn't know how to explain to Hinata. He could easily tell that Hinata eyes where watering and it pained him to see that he was the course of it, and in the end... all he could do was run away.

Naruto quickly looked at Hinata once more as he ran out of the room slamming the door behind him.

Hinata stayed quiet, at she looked out her window with tears flowing down. She felt as though everything was falling apart. Her once nice skin was all bruised and the nails that she used to care for so much was now long and yellowish, her hair was oily and ruff and she smelled like she hadn't showed for days. All because of that stupid! stupid! word!

While Hinata cried she heard someone come in. Hinata quickly wiped her eyes and turned to see who it was.

"Hinata...your awake?"

"Neji-nii-san." Hinata said cheerfully, like she always did. And making it truly look like she wasn't crying at all.

"I'm sorry Hinata-chan if only-" But before Neji could continue Hinata immediately started to laugh, causing Neji to become confused. "Hinata this is serious you can't-"

"I think it's time to get out of bed don't you?" As she said that she hopped out of bed wobbling a little as Neji was about to help her till but she quickly fought her footing and opened the window, letting the wind flow though her short navy blue hair.

"Hinata-chan you've only just woken up! You can't get out of bed yet, you need rest!" Neji was just about to push Hinata into bed when she stopped him by speaking.

"I understand full w-well what happened, and n-none of this could have been p-prevented. It was f-fate, my fate." Hinata slowly turned around now facing Neji, But the moment she did, it coursed Neji to go surprised as to the big smile that was plastered all over her face. "Plus I'm s-still alive so there's nothing to w-worry about."

But still even with her big smile, he could still detect the small signs of sadness in it. "Hinata you know I know you better then anyone... and I can tell that there's something your not telling me"

"S-sorry Neji. But I guess y-you'll just have to find o-out." With that Neji stayed silent and sat on the chair near Hinata's bed to keep her company while he messaged his uncle about the good news.

"Hey Neji? I-I have to k-know...h-how long h-have I-I've been here?" Neji lifted his gaze from his phone as he watched Hinata sit in her bed looking out the window.

"1 month, you've been in a comma for about 1 month."

"You've s-seen th-the list o-of people that h-have visited m-me, r-right?" Hinata continued to look out the window as if there was the most untrusting thing out there.

Neji lifted a brow at his cousins question, as he also tried to see what Hinata was looking at. "Though I might be your cousin, I have also been in trusted by your father to protect you at all cost. So your answer is 'yes', I do know every single person that has both come in and out of this room." Neji said plainly as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes.

"Can y-you tell m-me how m-many times Na-Naruto has come?"

"..." Neji didn't say anything as Hinata finally turned her gaze as to look at him. "*Sigh*" Neji let out a loud sigh as he looked Hinata straight in the eye.

"I'm guessing you truly wish to know?" Hinata soli nodded. Neji let out another sigh as he readjusted himself in his set. Neji knew about Naruto and Hinatas relationship, so it was hard to tell his sweet cousin about Naruto. And it was even harder to try not to bet the bloody day lights out of him.

"Today. Today was the first time he has come to visit you" Hinata didn't look shock or sad one bit. If anything she looked like she had no emotion as she just went back to looking out the window. Neji stood up as he knew what was happening.

"Hinata, tomorrow me and your father will come to visit so take care." Neji soon took out about 200$ and laid it on her night stand table "There's a bakery downstairs so just in case you get hungry I'll leave some money. I know how much you like your sweets" he let out a small chuckle, as he tried to smile. But Hinata didn't say a word as she just looked out that window, causing Nejis smile to fade.

As Neji closed the door behind him, he felt his body fill with rage. The moment the door closed you could hear loud sobbing coming from Hinatas room.

This had to be it, why she was acting weird, why her smiles looked so sad, it was because of Naruto. How Neji wished to kill him right now, but he knew that Hinata would never forgive him, and there was nothing worser then Hinata hating him.

Neji just walked back home with his hand clinching tightly.

|With Hinata|

As she sat in bed pouring her eyes out there was something that hit her.

'Why a-am I crying like a t-total baby? Ha, look how far I've fallen. I b-bet if mom or dad was here they would be a-ashamed.' As Hinata pressed her face deeper into her hands she saw a glimpse. A glimpse of her and her parents when she was small. And that one time when Hinatas mom told her something that she had thought that she had long forgotten.

{ Flash Back }

"Hinata your strong no matter what might happen. If hard times come I know you'll surpass them, because you have ways been much stronger then I have. Mommy loves you honey"

{ End Of Flash Back }

Smaller tears started to fall down as Hinata took a deep breath and wiped her tears away as she examined her room.

Her room was big, as she knew full well that her father must have been the one to pay for something so big. She looked around a little more as she started to stare at all the balloons and cards that had written 'get well soon'. But in the far corner of the room was a duffle bag filled with clothes in it.

Hinata let out a small chuckle as she looked at the duffle back once more.

"There's only o-one way for me to change, and that's n-not sticking around here." With that Hinata hoped out of bed and changed into the clothes that was in the duffle bag.

She put on a dark purple jacket with black sweats and black converse. She put on a gray Benny, as to cover her dark navy hair and sun glasses so people wouldn't recognize her lavender eyes.

With that she was ready. She grabbed the money off the table and stuffed it into the bag. Just before leaving she looked back at her room. The room looked as though no one had even touched it, with the bed made and her hospital goons neatly folded and on her bed.

As she opened the door she took in a deep breath. "M-My only chance in backing out is now." Hinata hesitated. She was never the type to runaway, and now here she was, ready to go.

Hinata squeeze her eyes as she clinched onto her bags strap.

- PUSH -

Hinata was lightly pushed out of her room as she quickly looked behind her as to see who it was, but...there was no one there.

"Guess that s-settles it. I'm g-going" Hinata tightened her grip on her bag as she quietly slipped out of the hospital without ever being seen.

When she got outside she stopped as she saw the rain pour.

'I wonder how long it's been raining?'

She gulped as she saw all the cars speeding in the streets. To say that she was scared was an understatement, she was beyond scared. Never had she ever tried to run away before and most runaways never make it out there! Her body shacked in fear.

But...for some strange reason...she just couldn't wipe the smile of excitement that was written all over her face. Though she was scared out of her mind. This was something new! Something that nobody in this small town has ever done! And now she was ready... She quickly pulled out her phone as she searched for the nearest travel bus station. Once she found it she quickly ran towards its direction. Not caring that it was pouring out side.

This was for the best, just until she got stronger, just a little more stronger...then she can finally face Naruto.

|At The Bus Station|

"O-One ticket to anywhere" Hinata said trying to sound like a boy, but she knew that the ticket sells guy wasn't buying it.

"Huh? Where's your mom kid? Get lost, I only serve paying customers" the man said as he turned back to his newspaper. Hinata let out sigh as she pulled out half of what she had and placed it on the table.

The man watched her in curiosity. "Will that be enough?" She said in an slightly irritated voice.

"I don't know what's your problem but that won't get you anywhere nice. The best you can got to is Suna. Though it's far thats nowhere a girly like you wants to be."

"T-That's fine." Hinata said while she watched the station that was flood with people, all going somewhere that wasn't here.

"You seem pretty eager to leave the town. Can I ask why?" He said as he prepared Hinatas ticket.

"Let's j-just say that for me...a-anywheres better then here" she said sadly as she looked at the ground.

"Ok I'm done, here's your ticket to anywhere" Hinata bowed her head as a thanks as she headed to the buses terminal.

"Hey kid!" The guy yelled as he ran up to her. "I don't know your reason as to leaving but here" the guy then slammed a 50 dollar bill on her hand and gave her a warm smile. "It might not be much but I wish you good luck" from there he walked back to his bout while waving at her.

Hinata smiled as she waved back to.

Hinata soon found the bus that said Suna on the top and hopped on it. The bus was half empty so she sat in the far back.

"Goodbyes Konoha, I'll be back as soon as I can" and from there she was off, never to be seen of heard from in a long time.
