Rainy Days Have Their Moments

Chapter 3 - This Is Where It Begins

- Chapter 3 -

Hours turned into days and days turned into months. She was gone. It was as if she didn't even exist, as police spend countless hours, countless days on trying to found the young Hyuga. But to no such luck, as only one clue was found. Though only leading the group to nothing, but a dead end.

|Suna Bus Station|

Night had fallen and the cold had kicked in. The bus had come to a stop as it the passengers that sat inside slowly began to make their way off the bus. Along with a certain lavender eyed girl.

Though the moment she steps off something had changed. As she was now like a black dot in a white portrait. As the clothes, she wore were no longer a form of disguise, but a way of showing that she was different from the rest of the crowd. Unlike the people around her who wore dark worn down clothes, her clothes were new and bright.

Suddenly the regret and terror the young girl had tried to suppress all trough the bus ride had begin to bubble up as her body began to shake. Hinata's body began to shiver. Not just because of the cold winds which blow right through her jacket, but mostly because of fear.

"Cold." She said softly as she rubbed her arms for warmth. Though unaware of the person listening.

"You can say that again." Hinata almost jumped as she quickly turning around to face the person now standing next to her. "But I guess that's just how it is here, scorching hot by day and freezing cold by night. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, being born here and all, but I suffer just like any newcomer." The girl finally shifting her gaze down on Hinata. "So what are you doing here meeting a relative if something?"

Hinata lips began to tremble. Tears forming at the edge of her eyes. 'What now?' Hinata thought, her head spinning. The girl before her seemed to be older, probably by 2 to 3 years! Though her hair was cute the way it was tied into four piney tails, the fact of the matter was that she didn't look friendly, her voice slightly deep, with pierced ears and a face that just yelled trouble. Hinata was sure with the girl's long legs that she'd catch up to her in no time if she tried to run. What did she want with her anyway! Hinata body began to tremble more severely than before as her tears began to roll down.

The girl flinched. "Wh-What?! Why are you crying? Are you ok!" The girl asked as she grabbed a hold of Hinata's wrist, as it only caused Hinata cry even more. 'She's g-going to kill me!' HThough soon Hinata's body came to a complete stop as it froze in place when the tall girl leaned down placing her forehead against Hinata's. "Wow. You're burning up kid."

Hinata's tries stopped, as her eyes slightly widened, while she slowly placed her hand on her forehead. The girl was right, she was burning up, was she sick? She had left the hospital only a few hour ago. Stupid she has just woken up after being in a car accident and hadn't been check by the doctor at all. Though she knew now. What the doctor would no doubt have told her. "Dizziness, nausea, and possible..." Hinata couldn't even finish saying her own sometimes before fainting.

"Kid?!"

- In Konoha -

It was already dark, as the sun had said goodbye while the moon said hello. People were already heading home as they passed the young boy sitting on a stone bench in the park. His mind was in a daze, as he didn't even notice that the street lights had already turned on, but did notice the presence of the boy who now stood in front of him.

"So are you here to kill me?" The blonde haired boy said before letting out a dry laugh. "I broke the only promise you told me to keep. You should do it, I would."

"You and I both know Hinata would never forgive me if I did."

Naruto didn't say anything after that. He just continued to sit on the stone bench he'd been sitting on since morning, or more like since he found out that Hinata had gone missing.
