Ok sorry for the confusion everyone, I meant this to originally be a one shot I never considered turning it into a full fic. So originally it was just going to be Sasuke rapeing Hinata and since that was the only sexual scene in there I labeled it as Sasuke/Hinata even though it was forced. Now that it is a full fic I've changed it to Naruto/Hinata as it will be.
So I'm pretty sketchy on how often I will be posting again since this fic was not planned, I have no outline of key events or sub plots like I normally do and its to late to come up with one now so I guess this fic will be shot from the hip so to speak hope I can keep the quality up. Thanks for all the support guys especially you Arymed.
As for guest number six again I apologize for the misunderstanding but Sasuke was the catalyst for this entire tangent and that was why I had him listed as such, so I will concede to you being right though I stand by my decision at the time, and I will try to fix my grammatical errors from here on out, no promises though.
Naruto watched as Sakura finished doing what she could for Hinata in silence. As soon as they had returned to what was left of the leaf he had made sure Sakura was treated first, not just because her wound was the most serious but because with Tsunade in a coma, Sakura was the best medical ninja they currently had, Shizune included.
So after doing what they could the doctors were forced to remove her right eye and stitch up the huge gash running across half her face. but Sakura never complained or even said more than necessary to answer questions, instead just had them do bare minimums and put on a standard black leather eye patch until the hokage could better assess the damage. Heading straight to the emergency tent where Hinata had been taken she stepped in and immediately took charge. Going with the broken maxilla and nasal canal first she reset the cartilage and used chakra to hold the bone in place until suture's could be placed keep them from moving.
Replacing the tooth that the clone had recovered Sakura finished with the head trauma. Satisfied that there would be little if any noticeable damage or scar tissue she moved on to the puncture wound in her right shoulder, again using chakra she felt into the wound, sensing no vital areas were hit she began to mend the muscle tissue though the shoulder blade was beyond her ability it shouldn't affect her mobility since it pierced instead of fractured and maintained most of its integrity.
There was absolutely nothing she could do for Hinata's back though, the burns left by the lightning chakra were too deep leaving her back a jigsaw puzzle of burn line for the rest of her life Sakura mentally noted with regret. Finally came the worst part, seeing what He had done to her down there left Sakura beyond words, a small part of her wondered how big sasuke must have been to leave this kind of trauma but immediately she punched herself in her mind as hard as she could 'what kind of sick bitch are you' she thought to herself.
Before realizing that even after playing a major role in killing him on top of this horrible crime that she still loved him more than anyone. But that was something to dwell on later, she checked herself as she began to work sewing up the damage Hinata had received from the odd angles and aggressive behavior forced on her.
Finishing up Sakura then headed to Lee who several civilian doctors had almost finished as he had only sustained moderate muscle tear and blunt force trauma, severe for anyone else but actually normal for lee. Naruto left with the corpsman team relocating Hinata to the recovery ward after asking Sakura if she was ok and needed anything, she waved him off saying she would be fine.
Leaving the medical ward she did something she had never done before and went to Tsunade's personal hidden stash of alcohol and took two bottles of saké, being underage had prevented her from ever drinking, but she knew the effects from her study's and seeing Tsunade first hand enough that she knew she wanted it now.
Heading back to her tent she walked in, placed a bottle on the warming unit discarding her eye patch as annoying, and went to change into her sleep cloths despite the fact it was only a quarter after mid day (around six pm). By the time she returned the saké was warm enough to drink and being inexperienced she threw back a swig straight from the bottle, immediately throwing up all over the ground.
Waiting another minute she took small cup from her box of dish ware and poured a significantly smaller amount and slowly tipped it into her mouth letting it sit for a moment and burn before swallowing. the burning sensation following down her throat and into her stomach as she continued to pour cup after cup until she had passed out into her own dried vomit less than half an hour after her first drink.
There was a mired of emotions and feeling swirling it the blond seventeen year olds mind as he sat in a chair pulled as close as possible to the violet haired woman laying in the recovery bed in a private part of the ward. Naruto held his head in his hands while he thought.
realizing that Sakura was still in love with sasuke despite what had happened and to be honest with himself he wasn't sure if he still felt the way he had when they were younger or if it was just that he Thought he should feel that way because he always had. Combined with that he had never even tried to feel anything for anyone else left him in a state of confusion on how to continue on.
Hinata on the other hand knew what she had wanted and even gone farther by going toe to toe with pain, not for the village or to be some kind of hero but specifically for him. showing him through her actions and then words that she loved him every bit if not more than Sakura did sasuke. And what had he done...the first thing he did upon returning was hug Sakura not even acknowledging Hinata's efforts of feelings, complete fuck up was the only thing he could think of to describe himself, he had never been one for strong language he had left that to Jiraiya and Shikamaru but he found it was the only thing strong enough to express how he felt about it.
He wasn't sure if he loved Hinata or not but the least he could do was put everything he had and more to make her life better, if she really wanted him that much he would make sure she was the happiest woman in the world no matter what it took. And while he couldn't say if he loved her, just sitting here actually watching her for the first time he saw how beautiful she really was.
Her pale, satin smooth skin, unique yet amazingly attractive facile features. Perfectly framed by deep violet hair, even the light scaring that would mostly heal with time only served to add to her beauty in an offset way. She had matured extremely well during the years as well. he chided himself on this part, after what she had been through he still respected her enough to control his thoughts. He brushed her hair behind her ear, which had fallen over her face while being brought here. At his touch her eyes snapped open, she cried out and pushed herself as far away from him as possible pulling the IV's out as she tried to get away.
Naruto stretched an arm out to help but she smacked it away as she curled up in a ball and screamed, 'stay away from me Sasuke, I would rather die than let you touch me again' while tears rushed down her face as fast as her eyes could produce them. All Naruto could do was stare wide eyed as anger blazed through him setting his heart on fire with the realization that Sasuke had done something to make her afraid of him.
'That Bastard had actually either transformed into him or used genjutsu, so that even if they had rescued her and Naruto made it back she couldn't look at him without being reminded of what happened. Naruto raised his hand slowly in a sign of peace as he backed his chair away. Waiting until she finally calmed down he just stared at the floor bashing himself for not getting there in time even though he knew it wasn't his fault, and since Sasuke had been dealt with there was no place to put his anger.
All he could do was focus it into passion to help Hinata through an ordeal several times worse than anything he would ever go through. She finally managed to raise her head and glance at him through her bangs and he could tell she was using byakugan to see if he was really himself or not, sending another pulse of rage straight to his stomach.
He slowly reached out his hand, palm up to show no aggression as he leaned forward again to place it on her shoulder. She pulled back slightly and he froze, but at least she hadn't knocked it away again showing slight progress. "N-Naruto-kun?" She whispered even as she flinched from his hand moving towered her again, "please don't look at me" she sobbed as she covered her face with both hands to hide the shame from him. He pushed her hair back behind her ear, as it had fallen down again when she had woken up.
"Hinata" was all he could say as he just stared at her frail form lying there, she kept her face hidden in her hands as he gently but firmly grabbed her chin and raised it until she had to face him. "I'm sorry" was all he said before quickly leaning in and kissing her, shock spread across her face and she waited for the pain to come from her recently treated face but he had been gentle enough in contact to prevent her from being uncomfortable. Yet passionate enough that she was able to relax into the kiss and reciprocate in kind.
After a minute or so he disengaged and stared her directly into her opaque eye's, she started crying again as she broke the stare and managed to choke out a full sentence. "Naruto-kun as much as I've always wanted this I can't accept it, I'm broken and shattered, I've lost the only thing I had to offer you and with this emotional baggage, all I am is damaged goods". She ended in a whisper "Hinata it wasn't your fault, it was Sasuke for initiating the act and my own for not making it in ti-" "No!", "It is not your fault Naruto-kun, never blame yourself. It really was my fault for going in the base without searching for you first."
She said in as strong a voice as she could muster under her conditions, which was still not very assertive, but the effort showed none the less. Naruto sighed knowing neither side would win an argument and she desperately needed rest. "go back to sleep Hinata, you need to start recovering". She stared at him with fear filled eye's and for once Naruto could understand what someone else was thinking, among other things she was mainly scared to be left alone.
"don't worry I'll be here as long as you want me to stay" he said in a gentle voice. She looked at her blanket and blushed as she re-situated herself back into the bed and spoke while hiding her eye's behind her bangs again "so forever?" Naruto dropped his head with a sheepish smile knowing she had caught him wide open with that one, he repeated his last statement again in order to give them both time to think, "I will be here as long as you want me to stay" and with that he tucked her in except for one hand which he held to let her know he was there, until finally he could hear her small sleep noises as she drifted off.
After ten minutes a doctor walked by and noticed his huge open wound traveling from his abdomen all the way to his chin and mentioned getting stitches even with the nine tails help it was amazing he hadn't bled out yet, and that wound would take awhile to heal. So he agreed as long as the stitches could be done here at Hinata's bed side. And for the next fourteen hours after that, outside of an occasional small break. He sat and watched Hinata sleep, never once getting bored of it.
Around ten the next morning Hiashi Hyuuga showed up to visit as well as see if she would be able to leave soon. Naruto's first reaction was to light into him for how long he waited when he had to have been informed as soon as they made it back to the village over eighteen hours ago including surgery time. But for one of the first times he held his tongue. As simple minded as he knew he could be he still had basic understanding of what would get on peoples bad side. He had just never had a reason to keep his mouth shut until now.
But if he was going to be starting a relationship with Hinata like he was planning on doing he would need the clan leader and fathers approval. "Lord Hiashi" Naruto said in a neutral tone as the clan leader just gave her a quick look over before turning to Naruto. "so who did this" he asked almost nonchalant but with an edge to it that let Naruto know he probably did care but wasn't good at showing it.
Naruto sighed as he fully turned to Hiashi "Sasuke Uchiha sir" Hiashi didn't even bat an eye to his credit "he would be the one who graduated with your class and left to train under Orochimaru if I am not mistaken" Naruto could only nod his head, all of this was open knowledge to anyone in the village. "on top of which the one you claimed as a best friend and swore you would bring him back to the leaf as an ally correct?"
Naruto had to force himself to maintain eye contact as he could only nod yet again. "so that would leave me to assume you have let him escape and are still planning to bring him back when this incident has died down" he said activating his byakugan to check the truth. This made Naruto's eyes flash dangerously as he stepped toe to toe with Hiashi "like hell, Sasuke is dead, his body here in Konoha, Sakura and myself are the ones who did it." Hiashi dropped his arms from there crossed position over his chest down to his side as he stood to his full height 'a full head over Naruto'
"you expect me to believe a gennin and chunnin defeated an S rank missing-nin who not only killed Orochimaru, but was also reported to have killed his own brother Itachi." Naruto not backing down for a second replied "I'm not one for boosting my own ability's Lord Hiashi but in this case that may be the only way to prove my point.
Sakura and myself have killed several members of the Akatsuki over the last year, and less than one month ago I defeated their alleged leader pain, who was the one to single handedly kill the pervy sage, with the help of your daughter. Who was the only one brave enough to back me up and quite honestly saved my life at the risk of her own. Now please explain how my being a gennin has any bearing on our fight with Sasuke." He said as he finished unzipping his jacket, showing the nearly three hundred stitches running up his chest throat and chin.
"And if you have any question on my story, the Anbu have custody of his body until grandma Tsunade wakes up and he can be given a burial." Naruto said in a much calmer voice as he regained composure. "che, I may not be able to contest your defeat of him, but I will make sure he has no funeral after what he did. I want his body dissected of every jutsu he had then burned to ash and dumped outside of the land of fire…but if you really did kill him for my daughters sake then you have my gratitude."
With that last statement he turned around folding his arms again as he walked away. Naruto sat again as he thought about what Hiashi had said, Sakura would fight to the death to give Sasuke a proper burial, he on the other hand was torn, to side with his team mate to protect the body of his best friend that he was forced to kill himself. Or to defend Hinata by sticking with the logical truth and renounce everything he had believe in up to yesterday. he turned and just then noticed Hinata laying there staring up at him.
"I'm sorry for my father, he really does care but in a way that is abrasive to others. If you want to bury Sas…your best friend, I won't say anything Naruto-kun." Naruto smiled and leant down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead "we'll talk to Sakura later and explain it, she won't give in but I have to at least try.
Your father is right he did lose all privilege's when he crossed that line and I can't condone his burial without condoning his actions. And by killing him I have already made my stand. Anyway the doctor came by before you woke up and said you'll be kept for another couple of days before release, just until you have healed some more, so for the time being I'll be here" her eyes narrowed as she pieced his words together "Naruto-kun have you been here this entire time" she said as she looked up at the time on the tent wall.
His silence told her all she needed "Naruto-kun! You shouldn't do things like that, go eat then get some sleep, you don't have to stay that long of time for me." He smiled and settled himself back into his chair "I left to eat already and I got a couple hours of sleep last night while I was here, so I'll be fine, now go back to sleep Hinata." She propped herself up in bed with her back to the wall. "I don't want to sleep right now, I'm not tired yet." So Naruto asked a nurse to bring them something to eat as they sat and talked for several hours before Hinata finally succumbed to her injuries and went back to sleep.
