Me: Here I am to answer your questions. For starters Hinata can talk. She just doesn't because she didn't want to talk about her past to the police officers Kurenai had taken her too when she had found Hinata. And since Hinata didn't speak they decided to take her to a psychiatrist but Hinata still refused to speak. Not wanting his records of helping kids be destroyed because he couldn't help Hinata the doctor said she was a mute and beyond helping at the point. The only thing that is keeping Hinata from talking is the fear that she would have to tell the police officers what happened to her. And before you guys ask yes Kurenai knows Hinata could talk. How she does though will be explained in the story.

And for Tsnade2: The only thing actually looked up on the phobias I gave them was the name. The stories I give them to go with the phobia is completely made up. I try to think of the a situation that could bring them to fear what they do. I'm glad you enjoy them so much. I was a little worried about some of the guys fear and how I could come and make them fear this. Hinata's fear is one of the ones I'm having a hard time coming up with a situation for. I don't want to make it too inhuman but for her to fear people it would have to be scary. I already have an Idea in mind.

Time for the chapter

Chapter 14 Pictures they speak a thousand words

"Hi Hinata my name is Sakura." The pink haired girl said, "And this girl next to me is Tenten." She pointed to the brunette sitting beside her. Tenten gave me a small wave and there was a large smile on her face. I gave her a small wave back as well. I didn't smile…was still working on that when around a large group of people. It still came out as a grimace.

"That boy over there with the long black hair is Neji and the one sitting next to him is Lee." Sakura continued. Neji just stared at me with uninterested eyes but Lee smiled a big smile, flashing me with his extra white teeth.

"Yosh it is nice to meet you." He shouted very loudly. Now I remembered him. He was the Gai clone Michi had told me about. I nodded my head in his direction telling him that I understood and that it was nice to meet him as well. Although I don't think he got the second part to the head nod.

"Well you already know Naruto and Kiba so next is Konohamaru and Udon." She said pointing to two kids while saying their names. Konohamaru gave me a smile and Udon fixed his glasses while looking in my direction.

"The girls sitting by them are Moegi and Hanabi." She said. Moegi smiled and wave at me. It seems like everyone was doing that. Hanabi on the other hand looked at me then narrowed her gaze. I too had to stifle a gasps when I saw her.

She looked so much like father that it was unbelievable. Am sure that she realized I looked like mother. Hanabi then turned her sizing gaze away from me. No smile appeared on her face not even an angry look. In fact no emotion whatsoever appeared on her face. Why was she here? She seemed like the perfect candidate for the heir to the business. Father must be so mad now that he had another girl.

He really wanted a boy.

She seems like she was conditioned to act a certain way. Father did the same to me. He wanted me to seem stronger than any man and to disregard my feelings from time to time. Because of mother nothing like that ever happened. But what about Hanabi? Why didn't mother stop that from happening to her? Was something wrong with mother? I shook my head to get rid of that thought. I looked away from her but out the corner of my eye I could see her head turned in my direction. She was staring at me and probably in the opened as well.

It was suppose to be a scare tactic. Because of our weird eye color people are uncomfortable with staring us in the eye. It would be even more uncomfortable to have us stare at you with a mask of no expression. Very nerve racking.

"Hey Hinata tell us about yourself." Naruto shouted.

"What do you want to know?" I saw Hanabi open her mouth. The young girl was just about to speak when someone else spoke first.

"What is your favorite color?" Ino questioned. I shot her a grateful look. She was starting off with an easy question. No doubt the others wanted to ask me what my phobia was or why I was in here to begin with.

"Um my favorite color is blue." I said with a small blush. Most people thought my favorite color was black. But that was only because every time I went out in public I would wear all black everything. That way people treated me like a disease. In other words they would touch me with a fifty foot pool. Just the way I liked it.

Yet in all actuality my favorite color is blue. There is something about that color. Its calming presence that made me calm down quicker than being in a room with any other color. Now that I think about it Ino has blue eyes. Maybe that's why I was able to be around her without feeling pressured.

Naruto has blue eyes as well and his is more beautiful than Ino.

Yes its true Naruto does have blue eye. And his does seem darker and deeper than Ino's not that Ino's eyes are shallow or anything. Oh kami I'm talking to the voice again. Sorry voice I can't speak to you Kurenai said you would only bring me bad things.

That was one time. One time I did something like that.

Don't mistake yourself for me. It was only one time I acted on my own. All the other time you were the one who brought the suggestion in my head. Then you would continue telling me why I should do it until you come across something that would make me do it – or until your voice annoys me – then I get in trouble.

You big meanie.

Please go away.

"Hey Hinata what's your favorite TV show." Naruto asks. My eyes were drawn to his voice. From his lips I went to his eyes. The voice was right his eyes were beautiful. I ignored the smart comment that came from the voice in my head. It was nothing but a part of my thoughts I didn't want to entertain. Thus the reason it is called the voice.

"I really don't watch TV all that much so I don't have a favorite show." I wrote then showed them.

"Ah that's too bad. We'll have to get you to watch some TV so you can pick a favorite. Mine is Bleach." Naruto replied.

"I like that show Shugo Chara." Ino spoke. Sakura and Tenten nodded their heads in agreements. Even the young orange headed girl Moegi nodded her head. Hinata looked over at them with curious look.

"What's so special about Shugo Chara?" Hanabi questioned.

There was a hush sound that went over the table. I was almost glad I didn't ask that question. All together Ino, Sakura, Tenten, and Moegi looked over at Hanabi and they had a look of pure shock on their face. It was like they had just gotten their candy taken away from them and were told that they had to eat vegetables in replacement. And then all at once they started to scream.

"You don't know about Shugo Chara?" Sakura shouted.

"How can you not know about Shugo Chara?" Ino shouted.

"Even I like Shugo Chara." Tenten put in.

"Tadase-kun is so cute." Moegi responded.

I wrote something on the notepad then tapped Naruto on the shoulders. He looked over at me with a smile on his face and I showed him the notepad. He read it over before laughing. Then suddenly he put his arms around me.

"Yes someone who finally saw them for what they really were." Naruto shouted. The others turned to look at him with curious look.

"What the hell are you talking about baka?" Sakura questioned. One brow was raised.

"Hinata-chan here saw the anime Shugo Chara but she doesn't see why you guys are so hyped up about it."

Chan…he added chan after my name. I could feel my face heating up. He hardly knows me why did he have to go and add chan after my name. I'm going to have a panic attack…no I'm going to have a heart attack. My heart is going to kill me right here and now. How could he so easily add chan after my name?

Maybe he likes you as well.

Eh what does like have to do with anything. Of course he likes me or he wouldn't be talking, smiling, and others stuff to me. And I like him as well because he so happy-go-lucky. It felt nice being around him. But why did he have to go and add the chan after my name? It wasn't like we were best friends for years and just started calling each other chan to show that. I freaking met the guy yesterday. My heart is beating very fast. And the blush on my face was growing each and every second I thought about it.

"Ne Hinata are you okay." Naruto questioned.

He came closer to my face and stared me in the eyes. Thus making the blush on my face become something no one had ever reach before. Super ultimate hyper bigger than apple red blush, is the name they would have called it if they saw the blush on my face…and neck…and probably the top half of my chest. I moved my eyes to the side to stop looking into his sea blue orbs. He then put his hand on my forehead. Oh my god it just went dark.

When I came to I was in the nurses' office. Standing beside me was Michi with a grin on her face. She was holing out her hand. Diamond, Ino, and Sakura were in front of her and they all looked like a puppy that had just gotten kicked. At the same time they each reached into their pockets and pulled out some money. They then put the money in Michi hand. Michi smirked at them and counted the money. After that she pocketed the money and smiled.

"See that wasn't so hard. Maybe next time you won't bet against my decision. I'm actually shocked you didn't see it Ino and you can read minds." Michi said in her everything is fun voice.

Ino glared at her along with Sakura and Diamond. The last too folded their arms and just glared. Ino on the other hand shook her head and sat down. Michi smiled and sat down whistling. Ino then looked up from her spot and stared at Michi.

"I figured that it could work between them two but I didn't think it would happen that quickly. That's the only reason I vote against them." She spoke.

"I didn't think they were a good match. She's too quiet and he is way too loud. Who in there right mind would fall for him?" Sakura said.

"Sakura we're in an institute. None of us are in our right mind." Diamond said, "But you were right on the first one. She's too quiet and he's too loud I didn't think they would fall for each other."

Michi and Ino giggled.

"And that's exactly the reason why they are so good for each others." Michi said.

"He's too loud and she's too quiet. She would calm him down and he would talk her up." Ino said.

"Don't you mean he would give her confidence?" Michi questioned. Ino shot her a glare.

"I'm pretty sure they got that from what I said. I was trying to do something there. She clam him down he talks her up. Do you guys appreciate the picture I am drawing here?" Ino shouted

"Yes Ino we appreciate the picture you are mentally giving us you freaky mind reader now stop shouting before you wake Hinata up." Sakura said.

"I'm not a mind reader!" Ino once again shouted. "And I would appreciate it if you guys stop calling me that."

"Alright already just stop shouting and what's with saying the work appreciate. Why now all of a sudden you have that in your vocabulary?" Diamond inquired.

The others looked sheepishly at each other. I was debating whether or not I should just come out and tell them that I was already up. Besides I wanted to know who they were talking about. How come Michi was given all that money? And then on the other hand I could just lay here and listen to the rest of their conversation. Know what they are talking about or continue listening to the conversation. It wasn't really a hard choice but there was factor to involves that kept me from making a quick decision. One on hand I could show them that I was already awake and question them about what they were talking about and they could choose not to tell me for some reason. Or I could stay faking sleep, listening to their conversation, and hopefully someone say something that could clue me in on what was happening.

Really the decision wasn't that hard to make. Even if I was a little upset with myself afterwards. I sat up on the bed and looked around the room. Michi who was closet to me smiled and shouted at everyone that I was awake. Sakura hit Ino on the back of her head telling her that it was all her fault I had woken up. Ino rubbed her head before glaring at Sakura and hitting her back. That action caused a full out cat fight between them two. Diamond that was kind of in the way just moved out of the way and watched the fight like it was a movie or something. Michi in the other hand pulled out a camera and started recording the whole thing.

"You bitch that was my favorite top." Sakura shouted while punching Ino in the stomach. Ino started pulling on Sakura's hair.

"Yeah well what about mines. You fucking ripped it." She yelled at the pink haired girl.

Diamond at that time somehow got her hands on some popcorn and was now sharing it with me and Michi. Michi would reach one hand into the bag and stuff it all in her mouth while recording everything that was happening. During some parts she would snicker like something funny happened. I would look at Diamond for an explanation and she would just shake her head at me. Her excuses "Michi has problems" but she would never clarify.

"Do you even know what that shit was you just dumped into my hair?" Ino shouted at Sakura. Sakura had a look of pure happiness on her face as she threw the bottle of substance away.

"Nope but at least it's better than the shit you put in mines." Sakura shouted back.

That started another wound of fisty cuffs. This time Ino had the upper hand. She grabbed Sakura's hair to pull the girl back and then she started punching her in the face. I flinched every time Ino's fist came in contact with Sakura's cheek. Michi on the other hand just snickered and Diamond continued to stuff her face with popcorn. Where did she get that bucket of popcorn anyway? And why was Michi recording the fight? These people are so weird. Sakura then came up and gave Ino a upper cute. Ino let out a loud scream. And now there fight was on the floor.

From all the noise they were making I'm actually surpriesed that no one came in yet. Well Ino was now on top of Sakura and was strangling her. Her hand was wrapped around her neck like you would grip an unbrella on a windy and rainy day. Bad simily I know but really that's how it looks. Ino was Homer and Sakura was Brat. It's that better for you guys to see what I'm talking about. There was a loud bang and now Sakura was on top. Wow...I guess Sakura is the more violent one of the two. She was pulling Ino up by the hair only to smash her back down to the floor.

"Take that you bitch. That's what you get for strangling me." Sakura shouted at her.

The look in Sakura's eyes frightened me. It was like she wasn't Sakura anymore. Does Sakura have a split personality or something? Is that the reason why she's here in this place? Out the corner of my eye I could see Diamond move. I turned to look at her and she gave me a nod. She then put the empty bucket of popcorn down and went over to the two. She then proceeded to knock Sakura up side her head.

"That's enough you two. You're scaring Hinata." She said. They both then turned to look at me.

"Sorry Hinata the bitch over here forgets her place sometimes and I have to reminded her." Sakura said with a smirk on her face.

"Who the hell do you think you are Sakura...My Place...I'll Show You Where My Foot Is Going To Be." Ino shouted in a high pitch voice. So high pitch in fact that if she gotten any higher she would have only been heard by dogs and...others...lets just stick with dogs.

"And that's a wrape you two." Michi said. I looked over at her just in time to see her stopping the video. And that's when I felt it. Pure killer intent. I turned to see Ino and Sakura cracking there knuckles. There was hand prints on Sakura's neck and Ino had small blood coming off of her around her head. Michi had shot them a smile before running out of the room. Sakura and Ino were right behind her. Sound of laughter came from Michi as she ran. Diamond shook her head and started to run after them. Probably to make sure they didn't do anything stupid.

I scrambled out of the bed and ran after them. Of course I had to make a U turn and grab my notepad before continuing. I opened my mouth to tell them to wait up only to close it quicky. I am a mute - so the doctor says - and mutes don't talk. I was finally able to catch up to them. Michi was grinning a toothy grin and Sakura and Ino both had glares on their faces. Diamond was breathing hard but her face had one of satisfaction on it. I took out my notepad and started drawing something on it. Out the corner of my eye I could see movement. When I looked back up all the girls was standing beside me waiting for me to show them my notepad. I showed it to them and they started laughing.

On my notepad was a picture of a big smiling face. Now if only I had something to color it in with. Better drawing skills would help as well.


Me: Aw Hinata is talking to herself. Isn't that adorable. And Hinata met Neji and Hanabi. And What's with Hanabi staring at Hinata. Does Hanabi know something? And how come Neji didn't watch Hinata like a hawk?

Naruto: *dancing* I made her faint I mad her faint.

Sakura: You keep shouting like that and I'll make you go nighty night.

Naruto: Please don't kill me.

Me: See you guys next time.
