[Naruto's POV]

I remembered falling asleep beside Hinata in her hospital room but when I woke up, I found myself in a different room. The walls were red and the ceiling was a dirty beige. There was a mirror big enough for a whole body view on the mirror. The floor was completely covered in brown carpet and the bed I woke up on was soft and pink and at the the end of the bed was a wooden bookshelf stocked with books on medical ninjutsu and picture albums.

Wait... red, pink, beige, medical ninjutsu and a full body mirror... I was in Sakura's room!

I jumped up; sitting on the bed.

What the hell was I doing here?

"Naruto?" Sakura entered,

"Oh good. You're awake." She smiled and walked closer to the bed.

I stood up and made the sheets, I thought it would be a bit rude if I didn't.

"What am I doing in your room Saku-chan?" I sat at the edge of the bed; still a bit groggy from my slumber.

"Well, when I came to visit Hinata last night, the nurse said that you couldn't stay there so, offered to take you home, but I didn't have the keys to your house and it was getting a bit late so... decided to take you here." She smiled at me.

"Oh. Thanks. Wait... Where did you sleep?" I half-raised my eyebrows. The idea of Sakura-chan and me sleeping in the same bed was just... Even the thought of it was... There are no words.

"Downstairs. Since I came in through the window and you were attacking me with Rasengan... I just lay you here and set up else where." She said.

"Well, sorry for the trouble." I said, standing up and getting my jacket.

"It's cool. I mean, after all you've done for me..." She stopped, I stopped too.

Sasuke.

I was so sure that name flashed in our minds,

"It's the least I can do." She reanimated and so did I.

"Right," I smiled a blank smile,

"Well, I 'gotta get going. Thanks again. See 'ya later Saku-chan!" I bid her goodbye as I zipped my jacket and shut the door.

I headed for the Hokage Mansion.

I just needed to see Granny Tsunade.

[Hinata's POV]

It was an unusually rainy day when I woke up, so I shivered a bit because of the chill the cold breeze delivered.

Naruto was gone, I didn't know where though but I sure hope that he'll come back.

I saw my breakfast on the desk to my right. A toast and a ham omelet on a little white plate and orange juice in a medium-sized glass cup.

I smiled.

Neji-niisan.

I knew he came by, because only he knew I liked orange juice.

I told Naruto-kun once but I don't think he was even listening.

I laughed again.

I didn't know why but, for some reason, I was feeling very happy this day.

My wounds and bruises still ached but less now even though almost my entire body was wrapped in bandage.

I chuckled then started eating my breakfast.

I felt like I was glowing and I just wanted to smile... for no reason at all.

I just had the feeling that... this was going to be a great day.

"Hinata?" I heard a familiar voice as I started eating, I looked to the door and saw Neji.

"Neji-niisan." I exclaimed happily.

He walked over and grabbed the chair to my bedside.

"How are you feeling Hinata?" He smiled as he sat down.

"I've been better. Thank you." I said, then suddenly Tenten burst through the door.

"Hey Hinata. Sorry. Lee's chasing me and I knew he couldn't be rowdy here so..." She smiled, catching her final breath.

She sat beside Neji-niisan.

"Oh. Hahaha." I laughed.

"Sorry I took long Neji." She apologized as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Wait... WHAT?

Neji looked back at me and found me dumbfounded. His face flushed a bit.

"Uh.. H-Hinata. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. Me and Tenten are... well we're... Uhh-"

"We're together now." Tenten smiled proudly and hugged Neji.

I smiled too.

"Th-that's great Neji-niisan. Congratulations to you both." I was so overwhelmed with joy for my cousin.

"Tenten! You know I cannot be rowdy in a hospital! Your technique is highly admirable!" Lee came in.

What and entrance. Again.

I giggled involuntarily. Something about Lee-san always made me laugh.

"Ah! Hinata! I heard about what happened. How are you feeling?" He flashed a big smile.

"I'm okay Lee-san." I laughed.

"That is very good! Stay strong Hinata! You will be better!" He promised me.

I believed him.

Why?

Because I will always remember the Chuunin Exams. He almost died but even when he was falling apart he stayed strong. Lee was one of the people I admired most. In a way, he was like Naruto-kun. He never gives up. He never gave up and he probably never will.

I smiled to myself.

He was truly someone to remember.

"Yeah. Lee, I've had quite enough of your cheerfulness for today. Grab a chair and sit down." Tenten ordered him.

"Tenten! Do not order me around! I live by my own rules and I-"

"Zip it and sit down "The Green Beast" gets it." Tenten interrupted Lee; holding a kunai to his face.

"Yes ma'am!" Lee saluted her then sat down.

Tenten-san can be very scary.

So Neji-niisan, Tenten-san and Lee-san stayed with me all day. We chatted and they kept me company. I couldn't even believe that they didn't mind at all. I even started to wonder and think... and I couldn't believe it... They cared about me.

This is the best feeling in the world.

I confirmed that to myself.

And I just couldn't help it but I felt so... important and appreciated. I couldn't believe it. This had to be a dream.

But it wasn't. And that was the best part.

When they finally left a few hours after nightfall, I closed my eyes; smiling.

And now, I meant this smile. I was... happy. So, very happy.

So I closed my eyes and when I was finally on the brink of sleep I felt the presence of someone familiar sit beside my bed.

I saw orange and black.

I didn't know if I was already dreaming but... was it really him?

Did he really come back?

I started to wonder but I was way too tired to put more effort into my thoughts so I submitted to defeat and accepted the white light of mindless dreaming.

I fell asleep. I drifted away.

Happy, because I know that tomorrow will be another great day.

That is it. Bow. Hahaha. Short? Sorry. But I'll do more. Okay. Sorry again for the WAY TOO DELAYED update. You may have thought that I already stopped writing but NO. I never will. Haha. I'm updating all my other stories too so, check 'em out if you can, please. And review and stuff. Kay. Byee.
