Chapter 15 - Room.

Hinata threw the newspaper she was reading over the pile of four other magazines and curled up on the sofa she was sitting on, hugging her legs and trying to think of anything other than what those words said.

Violence.

Car crash.

Taguchi.

Kenji.

Shinji.

Oh, damn, damn.

"We're already sorting it out, sweetheart.

She was sure. Three pairs of eyes stared at her. And her mother was just as nervous as she was.

Knowing that Shinji had been released was like saying the devil roamed the world full of money. And anyone who knew what that guy was like would be scared.

Minato hung up the phone, looking extremely tense, and sat down next to Himari. This one who immediately grabbed his hand between hers. They all looked like shards.

As if everyone was worried about that scandal, the premiere had ended in a real failure. All the music's brilliance had turned to her whole dark world.

"We just have to wait a little bit, Hinata." I have a good group that works with advertising, they will fix something. I did what I could, preventing most of the posts alleging direct attack on morals and public humiliation... Only those damn sites still have their gossip in the air, but a group is already taking care of it. I promise that in 24 hours all this will be resolved, but you will have to stop for a while.

"No." Naruto's voice was surprisingly calm when speaking to his father. "She's going out, we're going to parties and we're going to make her a badgirl image. Only then will we be able to hush up this case.

Minato's blue eyes flashed at Naruto.

"Let's not spoil Hinata's image like that.

— Father, her image is already spoiled, that's the truth. Hinata flinched as she listened to what Naruto was saying. — The most we can do is deliver what they want, make them tired, make the people get used to it. You know it's the most sensible. If she hides, they'll think she's scared, they'll attack harder. And it will get worse for Hinata. We will soon attack with what we have, show a girl revolted by her past and who goes to parties in order to forget about him. Let's find actors, singers and celebrities to think they're dating. We only have this chance, to fight back with what they already have.

Before Naruto even finished, his mother had already gotten up and was pacing anxiously. Minato was looking at his son seriously and Naruto was staring back, firmly, protecting his point.

All Hinata wanted less was to see her new family disunited because of her.

"I accept," she said, drawing the attention of all three eyes at once. She hid her hands inside her blue sweatshirt. — I agree with Naruto, I better give another picture... I do what is necessary.

Then his mother laid a hand on his shoulder.

"But honey, what about Shinji?"

Just having someone say that name out loud made his head spin, as it did in that second.

He closed his eyes, afraid of getting sick again.

- What about him? it was Minato who asked.

But before her mother could say it, Hinata whispered:

"He's going to come after me... He's going to want to kill me after I put him in jail... Oh my God..." She took her head in her hands. "He's going to come after me, Mom.
