Sorry for the late update, it's been 2 weeks because school was hectic. Making a sample of business plan is really hard, seriously. Anyways, thank you for waiting. And I know that all of you are dying to read the outcome, cause I am too... hahha, imagining this chapter was amazing.
I made parts of the chapter in school, writing it on a piece of paper then transferring it to the computer. And this is out of the topic Naruto but I LOVE COMPUTER SUBJECT, making animations in school rocks. Ah, talking random, LOL!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but if Kishi gives him to me, I'll be happy to take Naruto away from him. mwahaha!
(BEWARE: shouting and argument between the characters!)
Recap:
"What do you want?" Sasuke shouted.
"I need to have a word with you... " Tsunade said.
Suddenly the door burst open and in came a pink haired kunoichi running inside. It was Sakura, she wore her usual outfit when she had nothing to do in missions. She stopped dead at her tracks and let out a 'gasp' at what she saw that was right in front of her.
"Sakura-san!" Hinata shouted.
(Inside the Hospital/ Room 427)
She entered without knocking. Entered with her heart beating rapidly. She entered running and not looking what's in front of her, but it was all a big mistake. It was a haste enter and she stopped dead at her tracks. Not knowing what to say, not knowing what to do.
She simply stood there, waiting, staring and feeling nothing but helpless. Her pink hair went down once she halted to a stop with what she saw. She couldn't believe her eyes, it was all too good to be true.
Standing in front of her was Sasuke, staring back at her. It almost felt like the world stopped moving, just by a stare in the eye, they knew what each other felt. They knew what was waiting for them even before they met again.
"Oh no." Sasuke muttered.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura's mind register.
He stood there, staring right at her. His eyes sparkling, that longing look. Sakura then remembered what went down in Ino's shop. She openly talked to the girls about Sasuke, not knowing he was there, listening to their conversation.
"The same guy that was in Ino's shop? The same guy that I almost punched, the one that Hinata was with... and the stare. He heard me blabber everything about not caring about him anymore. Why is he... here? Naruto brought him back? Wait, that time... when he left the village... that meeting!"
Silence...
"I knew it was a lie! They lied to me! Hinata was in on it!" Sakura thought, then she stared at everyone. They were all looking at her as if there was something stuck in her face. "They all knew... and they didn't tell me... I better..."
"Don't you dare talk to him! Go see Naruto! He's hurt!" Her inner mind told her. "Sasuke's a criminal, he never cared about you what makes you think he'll care now that you're strong! Naruto cared, that's what it's like! Sasuke was the one that shoved our love away! You can't trust him anymore..."
"But... I still... love him..." Sakura thought. "But... I can't face him... What makes you think that I can actually put those aside... He's facing me now, why not talk to him? I'm confused, why do I feel like nothing? Nothings happening. My feelings are at a standstill for some reason..."
"He never cared about us! He's just another criminal, he's here to kill Naruto. He may have been able to get him back but Sasuke isn't the Sasuke we knew anymore! The idiot Naruto brought back a loser criminal."
"I'll think about it."
Sakura shook her head and held it with one hand, the others might think she's about to cry again but they were shocked when they she glared at the Uchiha.
"I'm stronger than thinking about those foolish things!" She countered to her 'inner'. "I'll prove to them I'm not weak and I'm not about to cry. All I do is cry in front of him, things have changed. I'm not the girl I grew up to be, I have my own ways of fighting back."
Facing each other right now wasn't part of the plan, not part of anything, mostly not expected. They didn't know what to react to each other but at least someone managed to cut the silence.
"Sakura-san?" Hinata shouted, her mouth agape.
The people in the room were silent not knowing what to response to her and Sakura couldn't help but stare at him. Stare at Sasuke. If you saw someone who's been gone for so long wouldn't you have done the same?
"Oh no."
Sasuke was the second to register her presence and as fast as he could pulled his hood up and turned away from her. He hoped she didn't notice. Hoped that she couldn't have seen his face. He never wanted her to see him like that, it hurts too much.
"Sakura..." He thought. "Please don't cry... if I ever saw you cry I wouldn't know what to do. I... want to tell you I'm sorry but I can't. It's too late. Just... don't... not here... don't do it here... don't cry."
He hid his shame from everybody but mostly from her, he hid under his face under the hood to keep himself safe, one thought ran through his head.
"She saw my face!" That was it, but that's where it ended and nobody knew why.
Sakura turned and ignored Sasuke, for some reason she didn't want to go through with him. She knew that if she did, she'd feel the same hurt she felt when she was a kid. The same betrayal, the same pain of being cast away, it was something she never wanted to experience ever again.
Everyone was taken back at her actions, it wasn't what they expect. They expect her to shout, cry, hug him or even punch the life out of him for being back but that wasn't the case. She fled, fled far away from him to Naruto's side.
"Sakura." Tsunade looked at her.
"I heard about Naruto... " She gave a fake smile. "Apparently word got out that he fell off the Hokage monument. Weird how a rumor could spread so fast. Is he okay?"
"Sakura-san." Hinata whispered her name and thought to herself what she tried to say, but she doesn't have the courage to tell her. "Don't speak anymore Sakura-san, this isn't you. You're hiding your feelings and you don't know how to react to them."
Hinata took a deep breath and spoke up smiling.
"Don't worry S-sakura-san, he will be just fine. Nothing a l-little r-rest won't f-fix."
Tsunade openly stared at Sakura, Iruka walked to the side of Naruto to fix the bed sheet seeing him shiver slightly. Kakashi gritting his teeth inside his mask because he knew it was going to be bad.
And Hinata fidgeting from the tension, obviously worried about the two but mostly Naruto waking up to find something like this in the scene.
Sure she was being foolish and dense but it was a defense mechanism. She didn't want to feel the pain again and what better way to avoid it if you just bottle it all up inside.
"I was really worried. When I found out I almost flipped and hurt someone." Sakura chuckled slightly ignoring Sasuke who was just beside her near the window. "Is he alright? No broken bones? Did you heal him yet? Rumors tend to exaggerate, you know!"
"Sakura-san..." Hinata whispered again, hoping she'd stop where she was getting at. "He'll be fine, he's N-naruto-kun, after a-all."
"Sorry, I don't mean to ask so many questions." Sakura bit her lip, Sasuke was behind her. "I was... worried, If he's the one that did this to Naruto, I... I just... I won't hold back. I don't care."
Obviously, she meant Sasuke. Sasuke just gave her a sad look, he bit his lip. Was he really that terrible to her, terrible enough to make her hate him so much that she'd hurt him and obliterate him?
"We understand that Sakura but..." Iruka could see what she was going through. "It's hard but it going to take a lot of time to explain... Look, you can come back later if you can't..."
"If I can't take it?" She asked, finishing his sentence for him. "What makes you think I can't take it?"
"I don't mean it like that... I..." Yet again, Iruka was cut.
"You do mean it like that! I don't know if you understand me but I know what it feels like and none of you do except for Naruto and I! I've been through war and so was he, what do you know about what I can't do? You're just underestimating me!"
She spoke so venomously, it almost sounded sinister and dark.
"Sakura-san, we just think that it's best you t-try and u-understand the situation f-first." Hinata spoke quietly for the sake of Naruto not waking up but spoke loud enough for them to hear.
When Hinata saw Sakura glare at her, she felt the need to add another word. "Please."
"Understand?" Sakura laughed at it, she spoke a little louder shouting at everyone. She didn't care if Naruto woke up for it, the people inside the room needed to know what she feels. She wanted to scream it to the world!
"You all lied to me! Especially you!" She pointed at Hinata. " You told them Naruto was meeting Gaara in Suna, and tell me that Gaara isn't part of the scheme! Why didn't you tell me sooner that you were going to bring him back? Don't you think I can take it? You just have to stick your nose into Team 7's business!"
"But.. Sakura-san.. I.."
"I don't want to hear it from you." sakura scowled. "I'm not going to fight you because I know Naruto won't like it one bit if I hurt her precious girl! You..liar."
Sasuke stayed silent but he wanted to talk to her. It felt like everyone momentarily forgot he was even in the room. They all talked like he wasn't there. Sakura was burning with hatred, the things she said weren't really what she intended to say.
It slipped out.
"Were not saying that." Kakashi crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "You're exaggerating every little detail Sakura. You're not thinking clearly, Hinata only did what's best for the team."
"She isn't part of Team 7!"
"She may not be part of team 7 but she is one of your friends. Besides she was only talked into it by Naruto and she felt the need to do something about it. Just understand what the situation is, that's all I'm trying to get to you!"
"Then what are you trying to say Sensei? You of all people should have told me, I would've helped." Sakura begged him, practically wishing he'd stop overpowering her words. "I'm strong enough to take Sasuke on! I promised Naruto that we were going to get Sasuke back together!"
"No, you would have only gotten in there way." It was straightforward. It was through though, she did get in the way of most of the fights.
"..." She wanted to keep on shouting.
"You easily break." Kakashi looked away from her. "The moment I met you, I knew you wouldn't give up on Sasuke but I knew that you wouldn't be able to stand up to him either. Every time you come close to him, your world shatters."
"That's not..."
"Tell me or better yet give me reasons as to why it isn't true?" Sakura stood there dumbfounded. "During the war before you couldn't hold your ground, you tried to kill him but you couldn't succeed. Endangering your friends isn't called strength."
"..." Sakura tightened her fist, wanting to beat her sensei. Kakashi shook his head as he thought he said too much. Iruka just sighed at the tension, Hinata on the other hand was shaking. She feared Kakashi now, she took a mental note down never to anger him.
"I only found out a few days ago. Same with the 5th Hokage and Iruka." Kakashi sighed. "It was pure coincidence for us, Hinata on the other hand was told by Naruto. Naruto trusted her to help him, from what I think it's because he knew Hinata would trust him to leave it to him."
"So now you compare me to Hinata! She's not even our teammate! Were both different, Naruto might have underestimated me a bit!" Sakura shouted again. "I can take it! Why do you people keep insisting that I can't do anything on my own! I'm a very well capable kunoichi!"
"Sakura, you are very out of line here." Tsunade muttered only to receive a glare from her student.
"What I want to know Tsunade-sama is that why didn't any of you tell me!"
Instead of Tsunade it was Hinata that went to her side and started fidgeting and playing with her fingers. She had her eyes closed and sweating nervously.
"H-hinata?" Sakura wondered.
"I didn't tell you... because Naruto-kun... knew... that you might get hurt." Hinata bowed her head. "He knew that you might... b-break down. I-if you see... S-sa-sasuke-kun. He was... only thinking about your safety and that... he knew... you might not be... r-ready."
"It isn't fair." Sakura clenched her fist.
"But... Naruto-kun.. wanted you to be s-safe."
"I'm not weak. I was weak when I was a kid... always chasing after Sasuke and thinking about marrying someone from a high clan! I'm not that person anymore if that's what your all thinking! I've changed, I don't care about him anymore. I've grown to take care of myself..."
Sasuke was taken back by her words but she continued, this time addressing to him.
"You always thought I was the weakest in the group." Sakura started tearing up and her tears fell to her cheeks and onto the ground. She started shaking violently. "You always hated me!"
"That never crossed my mind." Sasuke told her. "You were annoying and you were always following me, but that was it! I hated being followed, it was nerve racking!"
"I followed you because I respected you!" Sakura slapped him, instead of dodging Sasuke stayed put and the slap hit him hard in the face. All he could do was touch the now red hand slap on his cheeks.
"You don't understand anything." Sakura muttered under her breath and glared at the jounin's and the 5th Hokage.
Tsunade pulled Iruka and Kakashi out of the room but they refused to go but soon they earned a hard hit on their heads and soon followed Tsunade to the door. Hinata stayed and the two didn't notice her, she couldn't leave Naruto alone in a room with Sasuke and Sakura getting into each others throats.
Hinata stayed quiet and held Naruto's hand, she needed to find the courage to stand up once in a while without anyone's help. She didn't want to wake Naruto up but that was going to be hard. She moved the small hair on Naruto's forehead and smiled at her love's sleeping face.
But the moment didn't last too long...
Sakura and Sasuke were shouting at the top of there lungs, well mostly Sakura was. The poor Uchiha had to keep his voice down but with anymore insults or words thrown, he'll snap.
"The moment we were in the academy I loved you!" Sakura's tears fell again. "I just wanted to prove to you that I was strong, to make you look at me. To see me as a fellow Shinobi. It hurts that you chose to ignore me and call me annoying, I just couldn't help myself."
She continued as Sasuke stared at her, the slap to his face cause his hood to fall.
"When we were put into team 7, I thought it was a good chance for you to see me as a person that's not weak. I wasn't really popular in the Academy, they all thought I was just a book smart freak! Then you made it all worse when you insulted me and thought I was nothing more than some piece of trash."
"Your point being?" Sasuke huffed, he didn't want to reveal that his heart ripped with each word she through at him. "What's this got to do with me?"
"I changed for you!" She shouted. "You're so dense! I hate you, you can never understand me! You always thought I was weak, I trained hard with Tsunade-sama to get you back but then again you still ignored me. After everything we've been through, you never once acknowledged me!"
"That isn't true!" Sasuke shouted back."What makes you say that?"
"How can you say that?" She shouted right back. "What makes you think I'll believe you! You never once agreed to anything I said, nor did you listen to me with a heart! You never listened..."
"I've changed, you weren't the only one that had his mind open." Sasuke breathed in and out. This was harder than he thought. "I'm different than I was before, my eyes were opened."
"Yeah your Manggenkyo Sharingan was opened." She said sarcastically.
"This isn't the time to joke around Sakura!" Sasuke gritted his teeth. "Stop talking like you know everything!"
"I'm not. I know you're smart, your talented and the famous Uchiha." Sakura lifted her fists up. "I'm nothing but from a civilian clan!"
"Sakura, I'm not..."
"Your not nobility anymore!" Sakura punched him but he grabbed her hand and bent it down so they could see each other face to face without the other turning away.
"You're a criminal" She spatted at him. " And your nothing compared to Naruto! I should have known from the moment I fell for you. You never once noticed me..."
Sasuke tightened his grasp before she could turn away, but Sakura turned and swatted his hand glaring at him. She bit her lips but she stayed in her position looking at him, waiting.
"I've always admired how smart you were!" Sasuke looked away." How different you were from everyone else. You were the one who constantly bothered me everywhere I went. I always knew, and I always saw you."
"huh?"
"You just didn't know because I didn't want anyone to get close to me! You don't know what it was like to live like me when I was a kid. I hated my brother then and that was my goal! I ignored everything aside to get to that goal, that includes liking you! I had to lose all my connections with my friends, but that was a mistake."
Sakura stepped backwards and so did Sasuke, he hadn't realized he said too much. Naruto was rubbing off on him more than he thought. Now he was openly speaking, time to speak up than leave it hanging.
"You somewhat... changed something in me, like Naruto did... " Sasuke turned a little red.
"What do... you m-mean?" Sakura whispered.
"I thought you were annoying before because you were a fangirl and you always chased after me. I hate the part of you that keeps coming near me, you were pushing me down."
"So I'm a liability." Sakura gritted her teeth ready to slap him.
"I never said that..."
"But you thought of it..." Sakura wiped her tears. "You assumed it!"
"Damn it! Why is it so hard to get it through your thick skull that I've changed.?" Sasuke not realizing what he said, burned through Sakura's heart.
"Ever since you've entered this room, you've been accusing people of saying something that's not even true! I get it that you're strong but... you easily break. It isn't about power anymore, I don't care anymore what people think of me. I just want to rest and I'm tired of it! Seeing you cry is..."
"I always cry because I can't help it!" Sakura's tears flowed down her cheeks even more as she tried wiping it. "I never stopped loving you and these tears are proof that I can't stop thinking about you..."
"Sakura..." Sasuke tried to touch her but she swatted his hand again.
"Don't touch me! Get away from me, your still a criminal. And Naruto's in bed because of you, none of this would have happened if you hadn't come back." She kept on going. "You have the nerve to go back to Konoha after everything you've done to your village. To your friends, your teammate's and especially Naruto."
"I came back because of Naruto!" Sasuke countered. "I wanted to live again, I gave up my goals... why can't you see that?"
"Naruto's always there for everyone. He doesn't count to saving you! You were nothing, compared to Naruto, your nothing but filth! Naruto was always better at everything than you, which is why you hated him."
"Naruto's a friend, you wouldn't understand what I had to go through, what it was like to lose people."
"I lost precious people to! Naruto's almost one of them, you don't know what we felt when you left the village!"
"Well I..."
"ENOUGH!" someone shouted.
(Hinata being fed up)
They kept yelling at each other, raising their voices every once in a while and would continue to throw verbal madness at each other.
Hinata would stare at the two and then glance at Naruto. He squinted and shifted slightly but kept on sleeping. Hinata breathed in and out trying to keep herself calm. A few more and she's ready to snap.
She looked at Naruto and held his hands. "Please don't wake up Naruto-kun. You wouldn't want to hear anything their saying. Just keep resting, I'll stay with you..."
"So I'm a liability?" Hinata heard Sakura say and was later countered by Sasuke.
"I wish they would just stop. I can't take anymore of this, Naruto-kun... I wish you could give me enough courage to stand up to them, maybe I can drive them away somewhere." She giggled at the thought. She'd be Naruto's little hero.
"Don't touch me! Get away from me, your still a criminal. And Naruto's in bed because of you, none of this would have happened if you hadn't come back."
Hinata breathed hard. "No, don't go that far Sakura-san! It was Sasuke-kun that saved Naruto-kun, not the other way around!"
Sakura went on.
"You have the nerve to go back to Konoha after everything you've done to your village. To your friends, your teammate's and especially Naruto."
Naruto flinched and shuddered. Hinata quickly saw this and 'eeped' but calmed down when she saw Naruto snore a little. She smiled and placed her hand in her chest. "Stop screaming, you two. You're going to wake Naruto-kun!"
"I came back because of Naruto!" Sasuke countered. "I wanted to live again, I gave up my goals... why can't you see that?"
Hinata stared again, shaking. This was going to get from bad to worse, they weren't going to stop. Not unless someone stops them. Hinata stood up, she took a deep breath but Sakura shouted. Hinata fell anime-style, she got back up to her feet to recover.
"Naruto's always there for everyone. He doesn't count to saving you! You were nothing, compared to Naruto, your nothing but filth! Naruto was always better at everything than you, which is why you hated him."
"Their never going to stop." A vein popped out of Hinata's head.
"Naruto's a friend, you wouldn't understand what I had to go through, what it was like to lose people."
"Keep... shouting.. if You wake Naruto up I'm going to kill someone!" Hinata face-palmed. "I... If someone doesn't stop them then I will... but..n-not kill someone..."
"I lost precious people to! Naruto's almost one of them, you don't know what we felt when you left the village!"
"That's it!"
"Well I..."
She was tired of listening to them argue about something so plain and full of nonsense. It was getting irritating for Hinata. She took one last deep breath and shouted.
"ENOUGH!" Hinata shouted at the top of her lungs.
The room was silenced, the two turned to Hinata who was fuming and really red from anger and embarrassment from shouting. They didn't know she was there, the two blushed furiously that someone was watching them from the beginning.
"You two have been making too much noise for the past few minutes, it's getting annoying! You've been constantly out to get each other and defending you territory and your soft spots! Naruto-kun's been through enough, don't you think he want's to stop."
Hinata continued.
"Naruto-kun's just tired from all the work that's been placed to him, he wants to sleep so keep your voices DOWN!" She breathed again. "He won't be able to if you keep shouting at each other with irrelevant sentences and acting like a crazed maniac!"
Hinata was pissed. It was her first time to stand up for someone and for herself, first time she spoke her feelings openly to someone other than Naruto.
"If you want to keep arguing with each other TAKE IT OUTSIDE! THERE'S NEED TO BRING ME AND NARUTO-KUN INTO YOUR CONVERSATION, LET ALONE FIGHT IN THIS ROOM! IF HE WOKE UP THEN THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT HE'LL DO."
That's when they heard a moan come from behind them. They all turned and saw it was Naruto rubbing his eyes and yawning, Hinata dashed to his side and quickly made some hand signs. Sasuke and Sakura were twitching in the background.
"Hina-chan, what's going on? I thought I heard shouti..." Naruto turned his head to face Hinata and then cursed under her breath to see a fuming Hinata right in front of his face. "Crap."
"Ninja art: Genjutsu, Maiden's fury!" Hinata slammed her hands together as Naruto was about to collapse. Hinata grabbed his shoulders, Naruto's head tilted to the side and his eyes were closed. Hinata sighed and proceeded to put him back down and tuck him in.
She turned to Sakura and Sasuke apologetically but Sakura walked away not even meeting the two's eyes. She walked to the door, opened it and stopped. "I don't have time for this." And slammed the doors shut and walked to the right corridor.
Ignoring the stares that came from a sitting Tsunade and Iruka and a leaning Kakashi. She just passed them and left.
(a few minutes later)
Sasuke didn't speak, he was thinking really hard. That's when Hinata took the time to look at Naruto who was dreaming something, she blushed when she heard him say something a little perverted. Sasuke didn't hear him and turned to the door.
He was about to leave when Hinata spoke up.
"Sasuke-kun... about Naruto-kun... could you..." Hinata fiddled with her fingers.
"Watch over him while I'm gone." That was all he said and turned to leave at the left corridor, he was given glances from behind by the two jounin's and the 5th Hokage. Tsunade gave a chuckle and looked at Kakashi.
"Kids..." Kakashi halfheartedly smiled and shook his head. "They just fascinate me sometimes."
"Well even if they threw us out of the room we could still hear their voices." Tsunade laughed. "Seriously, they were loud, almost woke the other patients out."
"I agree." Iruka rubbed his chin. "But, I'm more impressed with Hinata-sama. She's gain more confidence than before. She even manage to stop the two from waking the entire Hospital."
"Speaking of which let's go inside." Kakashi was the first to walk inside but stopped dead at what he was seeing. He then started to laugh and couldn't help but grab onto his stomach and slam his other fist to the wall.
Tsunade came in with Iruka and were shocked to see Kakashi laughing and both staring at Hinata and Naruto. Tsunade ran to the two including Iruka who wasn't far behind.
Hinata was shaking Naruto violently and had a worried look in her face, but that's not all. She was turning red like mad. Naruto on the other hand was murmuring what seems to be flirting.
"Hina-chan... you have... such a pretty big... breas..."
Hinata slapped him in the face and began shaking him awake again. Kakashi rolled on the floor, his student was talking perverted stuffs at Hinata. Tsunade wanted to punch the life out of Kakashi and Iruka was just worried.
"What happened?" Tsunade spoke at the edge of the bed.
"More... more!" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto-kun wake up! PLEASE! I'm so sorry!" Hinata continued to shake him. "He woke up and I... p-panicked... I used a Genjutsu.. on him... and he... he's starting to..."
"Hina-chan... let me touch... Ah..uhh!... You're so good... "
"Please make him stop!" Hinata shook him even more while she was turning even more red. "I don't want him to..."
"Hinata!" Naruto moaned.
"What's the Genjutsu you used?" Iruka wondered. "I've never seen a Genjutsu do something like this to someone, have you tried releasing him?"
"I've been trying to release him since Sasuke-kun left!" Hinata wasn't stuttering anymore. "The Genjutsu I used was Maiden's fury! It's not suppose to do this to Naruto-kun. It was suppose to keep him in line!"
"Give me some more... ahh.. ramen... I.. love... you... mwwaahh... uhhh... Hina-chan..." Naruto grabbed Hinata's head unconsciously and kissed her passionately but Hinata took it the wrong way and slapped him hard causing him to fall off the bed.
"Please do something about him!" Hinata squealed as her hands were now on her mouth. Naruto drooling on the floor muttering about more perverted stuffs about Hinata. "I'm so sorry Naruto-kun!"
He responded to her.
"I still love you... Hina-chan..." Naruto smiled, the Genjutsu was still in affect with his eyes closed and practically snoring.
Iruka and Kakashi laid him back down to bed when Kakashi recovered from his happy moment. Tsunade managed to release the Genjutsu and laughed when she realized something. Hinata was holding Naruto's hand now and was still red from what he was talking to her about.
Kakashi was smiling all the way through his mask while Iruka was shaking his head.
"Maiden's fury works very well in battles and changes drastically with everyone that masters it." Tsunade smiled. "I'm surprised you mastered it."
"It was Naruto-kun, just about a few months ago. He helped me learn it, but this is the first time I used it on someone." Hinata blushed. "I don't understand what went wrong."
"Like I said... " Tsunade chuckled. "Maiden's fury is different with every person and what type of person uses it. Maiden's fury doesn't always mean anger or to keep people in line when you use it. It gives the target a way to see what it's like in your hidden side."
"So that means, my hidden side is..."
"Congratulations Hinata." Kakashi laughed. "I should give you a present like Icha Icha paradise!"
"Noooo!" Hinata blushed.
The day went on like nothings changed. The subject with Sakura and Sasuke was never brought up again, and nobody knew what happened to those two next. Their friends visited Naruto to the hospital and Hinata never left his side. Naruto was still asleep but nobody cared just as long as Naruto was safe.
Hinata stayed with him till night. Hiashi also visited and allowed his daughter to stay with the Hokage, Hiashi was pleased with the sight and not that Hinata knew that Hiashi was on the verge of approving the two of them.
Other people visited some that normally come, some elders and some of the other villages like the sand. All was well till the night. Hinata stayed with him but she couldn't sleep, she simply watched him sleep. She sat down on the chair, placed her head on the bed next to Naruto's pillow and closed her eyes.
She was still awake though, she wouldn't let sleep overcome her so easily.
2AM and that's when he woke up.
"Hina-chan?"
Thank you for reading.
please review if you have the time.
thank you so much!
