2nd year in Konoha High School

Part XLIV

Naruto

It's Monday morning and I am all healed up. Sadly, it's time to go back to school. It's actually everybody's first day back for the new semester. All of us will be getting new classes and new teachers. It's like a new beginning, but it sucks being a sophomore. I just wish I was a Senior already!

I went to school with my closest friends, Kiba, Choji, and Shikamaru. I still only have Homeroom with Choji and Shikamaru. I bet you the lazy bones is going to be with Temari, so I'll probably be hanging with Choji until our new classes.

School actually went by really fast. I only took a few pre tests and the teachers I had talked a lot. There is one teacher that really plays with my mind a lot. I think his name is Ibiki Sensei?

When the final bell rang, I went home right away to put all my school stuff away and went to the hospital. It's been 2 weeks ever since we came back from Orochimaru's hide out and Hinata is still under a coma.

Kiba told me that she didn't show any emotion when she was set free. I wonder what Sasuke could've don't to her. I just remember the times when she shows all her feelings with everyone equally. But hearing that she doesn't show any emotions what so ever, it scares me. I feel sorry for her.

I went to the hospital and got in her room. I sat on the side of her bed like I always do and play with her hair. As I was also playing with her face it just puts a smile on me. She looks so beautiful.

"Please wake up soon Hinata. I want to talk to you. About us. I'm sorry what I did to you and I will never forgive myself." I continued to talk as tears began to form. "I'm so sorry Hinata." I grabbed her on hand with both of mine as I placed my face in the bed and began weeping. I just wish she would wake up.

It's been too long, way too long. I have to hear her voice.

Sakura

I was on my way to the hospital to see if Hinata is doing alright. I still can't believe that she is in this coma. I still remember when I was running away from Sasuke and Naruto's brawl just to get Hinata. I remember her standing up and watching everything. What could've made her faint and get in a coma? Was it Sasuke? Was it Naruto? Was it the thought of them fighting? I just don't know. I heard that she didn't show any emotions before she became unconscious. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. She better be up soon. The guilt is killing me inside.

As I reached the hospital, I went to her room right away and found Naruto already there. I saw him wiping away tears he had formed and put up a happy mood so I wouldn't notice that he was crying. It's obvious that he wants her back more than anyone else. I feel sorry for him. I actually can feel his pain not having him here. I just wish we could've brought him back too.

"Hey Sakura. How was your day?" He asked in a cheery voice.

"It was alright. How are you Naruto?"

Tears started forming in his eyes once again. When they did, I got closer to him and embrace his head onto my chest. "It's alright Naruto. I know she will be back soon."

He kept crying. I have never in my like seen Naruto act like this. He is always happy or at least acts like he is. I have never seen this side in my life and I don't think anyone has. It's good that he is showing it now because it could hurt him. I wonder if he has acted like this before.

As Naruto started to calm down. He got up and looked at Hinata one more time as he was about to leave. I got up too, knowing that he was going to leave because of my presence.

"Naruto!" I yelled when I didn't mean too. "You should stay her with her."

He turned around and saw me as I got up. "A...are you sure?"

I nodded as I walked towards the door and opened it. "She needs you more than anyone else." I said as I exited the room without hearing another word he had to say.

I than started to walk back home.

Naruto

"She needs you more than anyone else." Sakura told me.

I tried to say something back, but she closed the door before I could say anything else. I just hope that she is alright. I know that we didn't save Sasuke and I know that could've really hurt her, but she... I know she is strong.

I walked towards Hinata again and before I sat beside her bed, I gave her kiss on her forehead. I than grabbed her hand and stared into her closing eyes. I just wish I could see those lavender eyes once again. I miss them so much. I miss her so much.

I leaned into to her face. I was inches away from kissing her on her soft lips, but something made me stop. Instead of kissing her, I just stayed like this. I just looked at her beautiful face. Her soft lips, her small nose, her rosy cheeks, her dark hair, and her-

Her eyes! I just saw them open!

I backed away and sat up right away. Blushing like crazy, I looked away. But out of my curiosity, I turned around once again and saw her sitting up from her bed. I looked at her eyes, her sparkling lavender eyes. I turned towards her completely and looked at her with a gaze.

"Hinata..." Was all I could say.

"Naruto."
