Naruto's POV

I love you so much

The sound of beeping slowly sounded in my ears.

So don't forget me

That voice!

The sound of a gunshot.

My eyes shoot open and I sit up, "Hinata!"

The familiar faces of my Konoha friends come into view around the room. Sakura and Sasuke looked at me with wide eyes. Sai and Shikamaru just came through the door. Temari, Tenten, Ino and Neji were camping on the floor when they heard my voice. Even Temari's brother, Gaara, was here. He was probably taking a nap on one of the chairs that he woke up at the sound of my voice.

What is going on here?

"You're awake!" They all said in unison, relief and happiness on their faces.

"Uh yeah I mean," I started.

Crushing hugs from all the girls in the room nearly stopped my circulation altogether. I reached up to pat their heads but something felt off.

Well, I couldn't really feel anything from my right hand.

The girls stood back for me to look at my bandaged fingers. It can't be, I'm pretty sure this arm came cleanly off when I stopped the -

"Hinata!" I panicked, "Where is she?! WHERE IS SHE?!"

"Naruto what are you -" I tore off all the needles attached to me. Grabbed my clothes lying in the bathroom and changed without thinking, tearing off my hospital gown before throwing my Broncos hoodie over my head.

Once I zipped my jeans I was out of the room faster than anybody could stop me. The guards outside my doors could only watch me as I ran down the hallways of my hospital to almost nowhere. The feet pounding behind me told me I was being chased down.

But I didn't care. My mind was swirling with worries that when I entered the emergency room, Hinata might not be there.

She might not be here anymore but I won't accept it. Hinata has to be alive, she must be alive! I won't accept any other answer then that she is okay and well.

I took the stairs down from the fifteenth floor all the way into the emergency room, by now the sounds of footsteps behind me some people gave up the chase.

I burst through the door of the emergency room to encounter a cleaning up scene with all the nurses. Panting I swiftly walked up to the nurse taking calls in the main table.

When his face saw who I was, he put the caller on hold and greeted me.

"President."

I looked around the room. The people cleaning up the stains on the floor, the family of patients saying thank yous over and over again to Dr. Hudson, and the interns giving each other high fives for a good job.

"What happened here?"

The nurse, an African-American in his early twenties answered, not meeting my eyes. "Two cars got sucked under a semi, sir."

I nodded, "Any news?"

"All is well sir," the nurse beamed.

I nodded at him and continued walking. Glancing out the doors, the news reporters of CNN and some other press media companies were talking to cameras. They have no idea what personal spacing is.

I didn't even notice I walked passed Sasuke until the jerk grabbed my bandage arm. Why the fuck can't I feel anything?

"That's an artificial arm," Sasuke replied, his eyes never leaving mines.
