Ch.15

"Excuse me, sirs," asked a male cop to Sasuke and Jiraiya, "Can you tell me what happened here?"

"Yes," said Jiraiya, "My godson, who went to the hospital badly injured, came in here to save his girlfriend who was kidnapped."

"Is he the one who called us earlier?" asked the cop.

"Yes sir, he should be," answered Sasuke.

"Where is his girlfriend now?"

"She went into the ambulance with him," answered Jiraiya.

"Okay, thank you. We have a total of seven men. Two of them are arrested; four are unconscious and taken to the hospital. After they're released, they will be arrested. The last one, however, is dead. Don't worry, the man who went to the hospital won't be arrested. It will be put as self defense," said the cop, "Can I get his and his girlfriend's names?"

"Naruto Namikaze and Hinata Hyuuga," answered Jiraiya.

"Do you know why they would capture Miss. Hyuuga?"

"No," answered Jiraiya and Sasuke.

"Okay, thank you for your time," said the cop as he left.

Jiraiya and Sasuke started to leave too. Jiraiya drove to the hospital and dropped off Sasuke.

"Where you going?" asked Sasuke.

"To get the best doctor," was Jiraiya's reply before he drove off.

Sasuke ran inside and asked where the ER was. When he got the information, he ran to the place and saw Hinata waiting outside crying. Sasuke went to her and hugged her.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke. It's all my fault!" she yelled as she cried.

"No… no it's not. It's mine too, if I was just there a little earlier. I failed to protect him."

"No… It's all because of me!"

"Shhh, don't worry about that right now. Let's just pray for Naruto to make it."

Hinata nodded, "Is… is Neji and Sakura in here?"

"Yeah," Sasuke nodded, "You should go see them for the time being. They're in rooms 64 and 65. I'll stay here…"

"Okay… Sasuke?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you… for everything."

As Hinata was walking to the rooms, two cops came and stopped her.

"Excuse me, are you Hinata Hyuuga?" asked the female cop.

"Y-yes."

"We have a few questions. Do you mind?" asked the male cop.

"No."

"Okay, how about we go sit down and get a cup of coffee?" asked the female. Hinata nodded and they all left to go to the cafeteria.

They sat down for a while until their drinks came. Hinata took a sip and then the questions came.

"Do you know the people who kidnapped you?" asked the male.

"No, but I do know one," answered Hinata.

"Who?" asked the male as he started to write into his small notebook.

"Orochimaru. He was our substitute teacher for one week."

Both officers nodded, "Now do you know why he might want to kidnap you?" asked the female.

"Yes," Hinata nodded.

"Why?"

"Because… because I'm a princess…"

"No," snorted the female, "I'm serious here-"

"So am I!" cutted in Hinata, "I am princess of kingdom Byakugan."

"S-so… what is your highness doing here?" asked the male while the female was speechless.

"Because… I ran away to here because of an arranged marriage I didn't want… I'll be going back home though, in a couple of days. I don't want to cause too much trouble, especially for him…"

The male nodded as he wrote into his notebook, "Okay, thank you for your time. When you leave, be sure to tell us. We will have escorts with you."

Hinata nodded and got up. With one last goodbye, she went to find Neji and Sakura's room.

"We can't save him! He's losing too much blood!"

"We have to! We're doctors, our jobs are to save people!"

Suddenly, the door opened and in came a woman with long blond hair tied into two pony tails.

"Move aside, idiots!" she yelled out.

"M-master Tsunade?! What are you doing here?" both of them sputtered out at the same time.

Earlier-

Jiraiya drove off to an oh too familiar home. He immediately got out of his car and went to bang on the door. When the door opened, it revealed Shizune.

"Shizune, get Tsunade now!" yelled Jiraiya.

Shizune went off to get Tsunade. When she came back with her, Tsunade was half drunk carrying a sake bottle.

"Tsunade," Jiraiya shook his head, "How many times do I tell you to stop drinking?"

"Jir-jiraiya? What *hic* are you doing here? Don't you have work?" asked Tsunade.

"Tsunade, hunny, we need you at the hospital as soon as possible."

"*hic* why?! It's my *hic* vacation!" answered Tsunade. (A/N: She is a principal and doctor)

"I know. But I really need you… our godson needs you…" replied Jiraiya as he went to hold her hand.

"G-godson?"

"Yes, hunny. You've became a godparent since we've been married."

"W-who is he? Why didn't you ever tell me?!" asked an angered Tsunade.

"You've already met him. His name is Naruto."

"Naruto? That orphan boy?"

"He's not an orphan… He is actually a prince. He had to lie to protect his identity."

"W-what?" asked both Shizune and Tsunade.

"You heard me!" said Jiraiya as Tsunade walks out of their house.

"Where you going?" asked Jiraiya.

"To save my godson! Now come on and take me there you pervert!"

Jiraiya smiled as he ran to catch up with her and whispered in her ear, "But I'm your pervert."

Now-

Tsunade smiled and put on her gloves, "To save my godson. Now move aside!" she yelled.

Hours later of nonstop working, Tsunade finally was able to stable Naruto. When she went outside to tell the news, she saw Neji, Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, and Jiraiya waiting impatiently.

"Well?" asked Jiraiya.

Tsunade frowned and everyone got sad, "It took so long," then she smiled, "But he is now stable. He is in a short coma until his body gets used to the blood we gave him."

Everyone sighed in relief, so did Tsunade. She then looked at Jiraiya and gave him the 'we need to talk' look. Jiraiya understood and left to his car. Tsunade followed afterwards.

"I'm so glad he is okay," said Hinata as she wiped a few tears from her face.

When Tsunade and Jiraiya got inside his car, Tsunade looked at him.

"So, do they know?" she asked.

"No, only Sasuke. Sasuke is his body guard."

"But they're just kids!" she shouted out.

"Don't underestimate them, hunny. They're a lot stronger than they look. Naruto… he took out all the kidnappers by himself," said Jiraiya as he felt guilty, "I should have been there sooner! I could have helped him!"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya worriedly, "I guess they are pretty strong, huh hun?"

"Yeah…"

"It's okay," said Tsunade as she held his hand, "atleast he is fine now. He should wake up in a few days, maybe a week the most."

"Yeah, I'm going to contact his parents now. Do you want to meet them?" asked Jiraiya.

"Sure," Tsunade smiled, "I would love to."

"I will take you when I go back one day."

"I would look forward to it."

Everyday after they found out Naruto was okay, Hinata has been going back to check on him and she always stayed until visiting hours were over. He hasn't woken up yet at it has been four days. She was going to go back home tomorrow… She has already told the police and two will escort her and Sakura. Her private plane was going to take off at six in the morning. Today was the last time she will see Naruto… forever…

"Naruto…" said Hinata as she cried, "I… just want to… let you know… I love you, Naruto. You… have… my heart. I'll miss you… I'm going away tomorrow… going back home… I don't know if I'll ever see you again. Goodbye… I hope… you find someone… who will love you… as much as I do," she said in between sobs.

Hinata left his room slowly while looking over her shoulder at him to see if he would wake up. Finally, she made it to the door while crying. Hinata walked all the way back to the apartments and started packing with Sakura. Sakura got released from the hospital three days ago and Neji got released yesterday.

While Sakura and Hinata were packing, Sakura saw Hinata's sad expression.

"I know. I'll be sad too that I wont see Sasuke no more… or the friends we made," said Sakura.

"Yeah… you should go say goodbye right now…" said Hinata, "I'll pack the rest. There's only a little left."

"You sure?" asked Sakura. Hinata nodded and Sakura smiled sadly, "Thank you, Princess."

Sakura left and Hinata started to continue packing. She packed for a while until there was nothing left to pack. Neji came in the room later to check on her. He saw her sitting and leaning against the bed.

"You okay?" he asked as he went to sit beside her. He had to slowly sit down because of his wound.

Hinata wiped her eyes and looked up at him, "Yeah," she said as she tried to smile.

Neji frowned, "Doesn't look like it."

"It's just… I didn't get to say goodbye to Naruto like how I wanted to…"

"If you want, when Naruto gets discharged, I'll talk to him for you."

"I would love that… It's getting late now, is Sakura back? If not go get her. We need to rest if we're leaving early."

Neji left and went to look for Sakura. He went to Sasuke and Naruto's place. When he knocked, Sasuke opened the door.

"Hey, is Sakura still here?" asked Neji.

Sasuke nodded and opened the door to reveal a crying Sakura on the couch. Sakura wiped her tears and walked to the door. She hugged Sasuke one last time and kissed him deeply.

"I'll miss you… Sasuke. I love you," said Sakura.

"I'll miss you too. I love you, Sakura… very much…"

Neji looked at the couple and felt sad for them… He knows it will be a heartbreaking moment to be separated from your love. Neji felt sad thinking about it; he doesn't ever want to know how it feels to be separated from Tenten. Sadly, Neji had to break their moment.

"ahem, sorry to break this moment but Hinata said that if you're going to leave early you should go rest now…"

Sakura looked at him, "Thank you, Neji." Neji nodded and walked back to his apartment. "Goodbye, Sasuke."

"Goodbye, my love."

Sakura walked back to the apartment sadly. When she went inside, she was greeted with a bear hug from Hinata.

"P-princess Hinata?"

"I'm going to miss it here."

Sakura hugged her back just as tight, "Me too."

The next morning, Hinata and Sakura woke up at five. They got ready until five thirty then waited for their escorts to pick them up. When their escorts came, it was five fourty. Neji went to the living room and walked Hinata and Sakura to the car.

"I'm sorry I can't send you off at the airport," said Neji as they reached the car.

"It's okay… atleast you sent us off here," said Hinata as she hugged her cousin.

Sakura looked over to where Naruto and Sasuke's apartment's direction to see if Sasuke would come. Sadly, when the escorts told them it was time, he didn't come. Hinata went into the car first then Sakura. When she was going to close the door, a raven haired man ran towards the car yelling "Sakura!"

"S-sasuke!" yelled out Sakura as she got out of the car and ran towards him.

"Sorry I'm late," said Sasuke as he hugged her.

Sakura snuggled closer, "Better late than never."

"I'll miss you, and I'll never forget you."

"Me too."

"Where you going anyways?" asked Sasuke as he broke their embrace.

"Somewhere far away. You probably wouldn't know where it is…"

"Oh…-"

"Time to go!" yelled one of the escorts, cutting Sasuke off.

"Sorry, got to go!" yelled Sakura as she ran towards the car, "I love you!" she said as she got into the car and closed the door.

Sasuke smiled sadly, "I love you too…" he whispered.

"Hinata!" shouted Naruto as his eyes shot open.
