"Now, doesn't that feel better?" Sasuke said as he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and sighed with relief. He looked over to see Hinata's response, he could see how nervous she was.
"You don't have to be so nervous around me, Hinata. We've known each other for years." Sasuke retorted, taking offence in her being nervous. Hinata's eyes widened, she twiddled with her fingers, and quickly gulped.
"I just-…It's just that…Um…It's not you Sasuke-san. It really isn't, I'm just nervous around everyone except Kiba-kun and Neji-niisan…I can't help it…" she replied looking down at her feet. Hinata had a sad look on her face…Mostly apologetic. Sasuke frowned at the sad look upon her face, walking over to her: he walked right up to her face, making her get even more nervous and scared. She gasped slightly at how close he was…This was around the third time he's done that…She looked away, avoiding eye contact, Sasuke swiftly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"Well start to help it!," Sasuke said looking into Hinata's eyes, he fell into some sort of a trance…Her lavender eyes were just so perfect for his big black ones…They were just goddamn perfect…No one else with those kind of eyes…Not even her clan…Hers were different…Way different. Much more purer…And innocent…And beautiful…And…And…Just goddamn perfect.
"S-Sasuke…Please…" Hinata stuttered, she was looking at him…For once not avoiding eye contact, she was really looking at him…As if it was the first time to see some one as beautiful as he was.
"Sorry, this is ridiculous, I should have more control," Sasuke said letting go of her chin, he sighed softly to himself. What was he thinking? He only just became close to Hinata…Well, kind of. Hinata frowned at the lost of Sasuke's touch, she had been wanting a moment like this one for many of years, and now…She's almost got it? Impossible, right? Taking Hinata out of her thoughts, she and Sasuke heard door bang open.
"Sasuke! Where are you?" an annoyed Naruto shouted, Sasuke's face turned stern, the fuck did he want?
"Kitchen," Sasuke replied, as he walked forwards to greet his friend. Hinata was panicking in the back of her mind, Naruto was going to see her…exposed."I've got a fucking bone to pick wi-…Hinata?" Naruto stopped in his tracks as he noticed Hinata standing there with no pants, he stood there in shock with his mouth hanging open. Kiba (who was trailing far behind him) just entered the kitchen, to his surprise there was Hinata; pants down and blushing like never before."Hinata? What are you doing here? And where…Where are your pants?" Kiba asked, scratching the side of his hide, he could almost feel a nose bleed ready to pour down. Hinata couldn't form words, nothing was coming out of her mouth, and no words could explain the scene the scene the two males just saw. Hinata burning up from the embarrassment fainted.
"Hinata!" The boys said in unison. Naruto shot a glance at Sasuke, making him not dare move from his spot. Sighing annoyingly at the two boys; Kiba ran over to Hinata and picked her up bridle style.
"Oi, Uchiha, where can I lay her down?" Kiba asked, making sure he had a tight grip around Hinata; he place one of Hinata's arms around his neck for support and the other just dangling freely. Sasuke pointed to the room connected to the kitchen, it was the sitting room/living room. Naruto folded his arms, still staring at his "best friend".
"…What the hell is your problem?" Sasuke asked, getting weary of Naruto's stare. Naruto clenched his fist, he cracked his knuckles to try and resist the urge to just punch him in the face.
"Tch…You just-You have no respect for the people who love you," Naruto said, he was thinking of Sakura and how she always put up with Sasuke. And what for? To be tossed aside like trash? He didn't think so.
Sasuke's left eye twitched, his face went blank.
"Naruto, not now." Kiba growled, from the sitting room. Naruto tightened his fist, and clenched his jaw, so badly did he want to punch Sasuke but Kiba was right. Even though the feeling to teach Sasuke a lesson was five times worse than before, it wasn't just Sasuke he had hurt, but now Hinata? Sweet, innocent, Hinata?…Naruto didn't know what the situation was, but he didn't care for it either, all he saw was Hinata with two banged up knee's, and small cut on her face, and no trousers on.
"Sasuke, can you get me a hot wet cloth? I think it might help her wake up," Kiba said as he checked Hinata's temperature with the back of his hand, he frowned at how hot she was. Sasuke nodded in response, and walked out the door. Once he had left, Naruto breathed deeply, and tried to relax himself.
"Dude, please calm down? For Hinata?" Kiba said, still worrying over his dear friend. She's never been this warm before…What the hell were they up to?
"I'm trying, bro, I'm really trying, but after what he did to Sakura? And now this with Hinata?" Naruto said getting frustrated yet again, he started to pull his hair he got so frustrated. Kiba agreed that something must have happened, but to go as far as to think that Sasuke had hurt her? Nah, it wasn't true.
"Come on, Naruto, we know Sasuke's a jerk, but to literally hurt Hinata? There's no way, she probably fell and that's why her knees are scraped. I mean, seriously, we don't know what happened yet, lets not assume the worst." Kiba said logically, he knew he was right, there's no way Sasuke did anything. Deep down, Naruto knew he was right too, but in the state he was in, he chose to ignore logic and accuse Sasuke of the worst.
"Do…Do you think she could defend herself though? I mean if something did happen…Not even with Sasuke, I mean in general. I know we never talk about it, but remember that time?…" Naruto asked, sadness was about to overwhelm him. Kiba's eyes widened at the subject at hand, he hadn't been reminded of the even since it took place. "I don't know…She's been training a lot since it happened, I'd like to think so…But we all know Hinata's way too soft to hurt some one or something, I mean…I don't know what I mean." Kiba said with a croak, he could remember that day like it was yesterday.
~Flashback.~
'I've got a funny little feeling,
My arms are shaking like a lighning rod, yeah.
I'll cannonball right through the ceiling,
And sink my teeth in till the feelings gone, yeah.
Oh I'm the slow move guy,
No time for swattin' flies.
Appeasing bees knees easing g string sesing
Wheesing funny little feeling.
Lick it dry,
Wonders just who am I?-'
"Hello?" Kiba said as he answered his phone. He had just took his dog Akamaru on a long run and was a tad worn out from the exercise.
"Kiba-san, this is Neji Hyuga." Neji said in a stern tone, he sounded in no mood to be messed with.
"Oh, hey, Neji, what's up?" Kiba replied, as he walked into his sitting room. Kiba plopped himself on the main couch and stretched like a cat.
"It's Hinata-sama, something's happened…" Neji's voice turned even more stern, it almost sounded like he was gritting his teeth, trying to hold himself back.
"What? What do you mean? What happened?" Kiba asked worrying for his childhood friend.
"She's…She's been attacked, she's in the Leaf Hospital," Neji said barely audible. Kiba froze…His whole world just turned upside down, his vision became impaired, his phone dropped out of his hands and onto his couch. He felt a stab like pain go through his chest, and all the blood rush to his head. Who would have hurt his sweet and innocent Hinata? "Kiba? Kiba? Kiba-san? Are you there?" Neji shouted from the phone, Kiba snapped out of the horrific trance he was in and quickly grabbed his phone back in his hands.
"What hospital was it again?" Kiba asked in a fierce tone.
"Leaf Hospital,-" Neji stated only to be interrupted by Kiba's voice.
"I'll be right there." Kiba immediately got up out of his seat and picked up his car keys that were placed in a bowl near the front door, before anyone could blink he was like lighting out the door and into his car.
It took Kiba fifteen minutes to get to the Leaf Hospital when really it should've taken him twenty five minutes, he had rushed in traffic and hadn't cared who he harmed in the process. Kiba swiftly entered the Hospital Doors and walked to the front desk.
"Excuse me, I need to know where Hinata Hyuga is staying,-" Kiba asked in a hurry. There was a young nurse sitting behind the desk, she eyed Kiba carefully, she could tell this young man was in a rush. She looked down at the files in her hands and flipped through the papers.
"Family or friend?" she replied, not bothering to make eye contact.
"I'm…I'm her fiancé," Kiba lied through his teeth, he wasn't Hinata's fiancé, hell, he wasn't even her boyfriend, but he knew he had to lie if he wanted to see her in a hurry.
"Ah, alright then, she's in room twelve, in section C," the nurse said as she read from the file. After she spoke her words she closed the file and pointed in which direction Kiba had to follow, Kiba said his thank you and his goodbye and was off his way. He didn't bother to take the elevator as it was too slow to arrive and probably wouldn't get him there faster than his own legs could. Rushing through the stairs, Kiba's legs started to wobble, he had been exercising nearly the whole day and was putting too much stress on his body, but did he care? No, he just kept running up the stairs. After about five rows of stairs, Kiba was finally in Section C, he dashed through the doors and was into the main hallway. He looked around for number rooms and quickly found the number he was looking for. Kiba saw Neji, Hanabi, Sakura, Ino, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shino standing and sitting outside the room with worried expressions on their faces. Kiba finally calmed his speed and walked towards the group of people.
"Kiba, man, I thought you would have been the first one here…" Naruto said as he embraced Kiba in a 'bro hug'. Kiba shook his head as he hugged Naruto back, he should have been the first one here…
"I know, man,- is she okay?" Kiba asked almost forgetting to ask, Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"I think so…I mean, nothing too serious but she'll have to stay in hospital for a week or so…" Naruto said upset, Kiba looked over at his friends, he could see Ino and Sakura sobbing in each others arms, Sasuke with his arms crossed while looking at his feet, and Shino staring at ceiling. Everyone was worried about Hinata.
"What happened?" Kiba asked looking over at the door Hinata was behind.
"Um…Well, as you now she was attacked. She was walking home and some guy grabbed her and started…Harassing her…She resisted and he threw her against a wall, stabbed her, and hit her a couple of times…" Naruto replied biting his lip, he didn't want to picture the scenery in his head again…Kiba heard the sobs getting louder as Naruto explained what had happened to Hinata, he felt disgusted that a person could ever do that. A middle aged doctor walked into the hall that everyone were standing/sitting and stopped in his tracks, he looked around at the group of young people and rubbed his chin.
"Um, excuse me, sorry to interrupt but, I have some news about Hinata Hyuga. Are you all here about her?" the male doctor asked.
"Yes, I am her brother, Neji Hyuga." Neji answered quietly, he had Hanabi on his lap. She had fallen asleep from crying her eyes out.
"Well, she's out of surgery, it seemed that her wound was pretty deep, but we did manage to stop the bleeding in time…The wound was just below her left lung, in that way she was also fortunate; if the person who had done this just went an inch above, he could have killed her. She has a few cuts and bruises, and one or two stitches, but we did patch them all up. So all in all, she is better than we could have expected. She's now asleep and recovering smoothly, you may now see her, I recommend family only. Are your parents notified?"
"Hai, my mother is flying in as we speak, and thank for informing us." Neji replied, the male doctor nodded his head in response and was off his way. Neji slowly got up out of the seat he was in and had Hanabi firmly in his arms. As Neji was about to walk into the room, Kiba tenderly grabbed his upper arm.
"Where's your father?" he asked looking Neji dead in the eye, Neji's eyes looked saddened by this question.
"Work, he can't make it," Neji replied as stern as ever, swiftly Neji took back his arm and walked into Hinata's room. Kiba growled at the thought of Hinata's father being such a bastard towards his children.
"I'm going in,-" Kiba said with a determined look on his face. Ino (who was crying in Sakura's shoulder) looked up at Kiba, her eyes red and puffy.
"What? B-But the doctor said family only," she said as she sniffled here and there, Kiba didn't look down, but instead placed his hand on the door knob and paused.
"If they ask, I'll say I'm her fiancé. I don't care, I'm seeing her." No one questioned Kiba after that and let him by, and no one was surprised.
Kiba saw Hinata's cheeks swollen, her arms bruised, and a few small cuts on her lips, neck, and eyebrow. To a normal person, that doesn't sound too bad, but even one little bruise on Hinata, and to Kiba, it was out of line. Kiba could hardly breathe, he stood there in shock, his eyes had widened twice the size of his usual size. He could hear himself almost chocking on what seemed to be tears.
"Kiba-san, take a seat beside her," Neji demanded as he avoided eye contact, Kiba nodded and quickly grabbed a seat near the young heiress. Kiba couldn't take his eyes off her, even in the horrible state she was in; she still looked beautiful to him. Kiba gently took Hinata's left hand and brought it to his lips. He stopped and closed his eyes, he felt more tears slide down his face. Kiba took a deep breath, and kissed her hand ever so softly.
~End of Flashback.~
Kiba felt a small shift under his grasp, and looked down at the girl who had recently fainted.
"Hey, hey! I think she's waking up!" Kiba shouted excitedly. Naruto looked over at Hinata, and could see her wiggling and squirming. Kiba chuckled at his best friends actions, and helped Hinata arch herself up. Kiba tried fanning her face with his hands to cool her down. He smiled at her, as he moved a piece of hair out of her eyes.
"K-Kiba-kun?" Hinata stuttered as she weakly sat up straight. She rubbed her eyes like there was no tomorrow. Was that all just a dream?…
"HINATA! I'm so glad you're awake!" Naruto cried as he jumped on the couch next to Hinata. He pushed Kiba aside, and hugged her tightly.
"Na-Naruto-kun." Hinata spoke softly, her face started to burn up from Naruto touching her while she had no trousers on.
"Now that you're up Hinata, want to explain what was happening before we entered?" Kiba asked wiggling his left brow. Hinata trembled out of nerves, and started playing with her fingers, she was struggling to come up with an answer.
"I…I fell." Hinata answered, with the best answer she could think of, and of course she wasn't lying.
"Mhmm, did your pants also magically fall?" Kiba asked smugly, Naruto sat beside Hinata couch pretending not to listen with his arms folded and his face in a pout.
"I-I-I, no! I m-mean, he-he was helping w-with a-a cut!" Hinata stuttered trying her best to not faint again from the embarrassment her two friends were causing her.
"Sure looked like more." Naruto replied, answering for Kiba.
"Can…Can I get s-something t-to cover my legs?" Hinata asked, placing her hands upon her upper thighs, (she was trying her best to cover her underwear with her arms) Both of the boys looked down at her legs, remembering she was only in her shirt and underwear. Naruto blushed, his thoughts were now distracted to Hinata's legs.
'For a small chick, she sure does have nice legs…I mean, what? No! That's Hinata we're talking about!' Naruto shuck his head at his thoughts.
Kiba accidentally licked his lips, he was thinking of how they shined in the light. Hearing a cough come from the door way that broke everyone from their train of thought, they turned their heads to see Sasuke with a damped cloth.
"Sasuke-san…" whispered Hinata, she quickly moved a piece of hair out of her face to look at him..
"Are you okay, Hinata? How are you feeling?" Sasuke questioned the young girl as he walked over to her to check her temperature.
"I-I'm fine," she told Sasuke as she smiled at him, his hand was on her forehead.
"Hn.," he said as he stopped touching her, Hinata frowned at the lost of his touch.
"So, let's get straight to the point. What the fuck happened?" Kiba bluntly asked, making hand gestures at them both.
"Uh-W-Well…You s-see what h-happened w-was.-"
"Hinata and I got in an accident and we came back here because it was quicker to come to my house than to go to the hospital while Hinata was injured. It was my suggestion, and I knew how to fix her leg and what not. Is that the answer you were looking for?" Sasuke said interrupting Hinata, he knew he could explain the situation way better than she could have.
"Some what, what was thing we walked in-?"
"Hinata fell from being weak, and I got caught her, there was nothing more to it. It may have seemed like something more, or as you would say "making out", but it was nothing more than that." Sasuke said his words with no emotion, just his straight plain poker face. Hinata flinched at Sasuke's hurting words…
'No, Hinata…He' s right, it was nothing, just a spur of the moment kind of thing! He's your friend, and friend only.'
"Um, e-excuse me, Sasuke-san, do you-"
"Trousers? Yeah, they might be a bit big for you, but there's an old pair of mine I laid out in the bathroom."
"T-Thank you…" Hinata said as she began to walk out the sitting room, she stopped in her tracks and was about to say something when Sasuke again interjected her speech.
"Down the hall, to the left."
"Hai." Hinata said as she walked out the room. After Hinata left, Naruto glared at Sasuke.
"Sasuke…I'm not stupid.-" Kiba said as Naruto shunned at him, "Sorry, we're not stupid, we both saw what would have happened if we hadn't interrupted. So cut the bullshit."
"Hey, what the fuck is this? You both stomp in my house, without any warning, like you own the fucking place. Explain yourselves." Sasuke retorted, making Naruto jump out off the couch.
"I'm sick of you and how you treat girls! Do you know how much you've hurt Sakura-chan? You've crossed the fucking line and it's about time you pay for it!" Naruto shouted as he tackled Sasuke to the ground, the two were rolling around on the floor, Naruto tried punching Sasuke at every angel, any chance he could get he took. Sasuke struggled under Naruto's grip, making it harder for Naruto to hit him.
"Naruto, get off him!" Kiba shouted as he tried to drag Naruto off of Sasuke.
"G-Guys, what's go-?" Hinata asked re-entering the room, she could hear noises from the bathroom.
"Oh-Oh my god! W-What h-h-appened?" Hinata shouted as she ran over to the two boys, aiding to Sasuke who was on the floor with blood on his face.
"Let go of me! He fucking deserves everything's he's going to get!" Naruto screamed while trying to squirm out of Kiba's grip. Hinata laid Sasuke's head on her lap.
"Naruto! Get a grip! Stop it!" Kiba roared, shouting down Naruto's ears. Kiba was attempting to hold him back from doing anymore damage. Naruto pushed Kiba off him, he looked at all three of them, and clenched his fist. He dug his nails into his skin.
"I'm sick of this, I'm sick of how he treats people and how he always gets away with it. One day, you're all going to see it. And Sasuke, you're going to have no friends to fall back on, because I'm done…I'm fucking done with you." Naruto quickly left with those words. Kiba sighed loudly and rubbed his temples.
"Kiba…Kiba, can-can y-you g-get that cloth for m-me?" Hinata stuttered, her eyes were tearing up. Sasuke groaned from the pain coming from his face and stomach. Kiba handed the cloth to Hinata, she quickly took it in her hands, and dabbed off the blood from Sasuke's cuts. Bending down to see how Sasuke was, Kiba looked at Hinata and saw how upset she was.
"He'll be okay…" Kiba said as he laid his hands on her left shoulder, "same with Naruto, he just needs to blow off some steam, they've had worse fights."
"I-I-I n-need t-to clean the bl-blood..." Hinata could barely get a word out. Kiba tightened his grip on her shoulder and looked down at Sasuke. There was an awful amount of blood for a couple of hits…
To Sakura:
"Ugh, this is so annoying, why can't people just mind their own business!" Sakura spat her words with fury, she was so annoyed at all the missed calls and text messages she had received, unless they were all from Naruto, at the moment, she didn't care. Sakura scrolled down her contacts and list and hit the call button at Naruto's name. She heard the phone ring out.
"Come on….Pick up, pick up!" Sakura cried loudly, getting impatient.
"Hello?" a voice answered, it didn't sound like Naruto at all.
"N-Naruto?" Sakura asked with caution.
"No, sorry, who's this?" the voice replied agitated.
"Um, this is Sakura, who are you?" "Oh hi, Sakura-chan, it's Kiba. Sorry, Naruto dropped his phone on his way out," Kiba said, his voice loosen up as he found out who the caller was, Sakura sighed.
"Oh, do you know where he's heading?" she asked placing the phone between her neck and her shoulders as she began pacing around her room looking for her jacket.
"No, sorry, all I know is that the bitch left me without a ride," Kiba replied getting annoyed at the thought of his blonde friend leaving him with the Uchiha.
"Ah…Well, thank you, Kiba! See you later," Sakura said as she hung up on Kiba, Sakura stopped pacing and looked around her room properly, she quickly spotted her jacket and grabbed it while walking out her room. Running down the stairs, Sakura struggled to put it on.
"For goodness sake!" Sakura shouted getting frustrated with her jacket, Sakura tugged and pulled trying to make it comfort for herself.
"Ugh!" she shouted again, as she placed her hand on the knob and turned it. Opening the door, much to her surprise there was Naruto sweaty and tired.
"N-Naruto?" she asked looking up into his eyes, Naruto squinted his eyes and looked down at her. To Sakura it looked as if Naruto was barely standing, his knee's shuck.
"Sakura-chan…" Naruto whispered, he took Sakura's face in his hands and caressed her cheek slightly. Sakura moved herself forward, she wanted to be closer to him.
"What…What happened? Are you alright?" Sakura asked looking at his hand that was placed on the side of her door, his knuckles were grazed and covered in blood.
"I'm fine, can I come in?" Naruto looked past Sakura and took his hands back to his side.
"Yeah, sure," she replied stepping out of the way for him to enter. Naruto walked into the house and turned back to face Sakura. Sakura quickly shut the door behind her, and faced Naruto.
"Naruto, are you sure you're-" Naruto pushed his lips against Sakura's and pressed her against the door. Sakura taken back by this, opened her mouth to gasp but gave more entrance for Naruto.
