"Now listen here Hinata... and listen closely."

"Hai, Tsunade-sama."

"You've seen the effects. You've seen the damages. It's okay, I get it. You're young. You want to try new things. If you do it once, move on. Satiate your curiosity and don't let it sink its claws into you. They make you feel good, but the damages left can lead to death."

"Ah..."

"Promise me Hinata."

"Ano, Tsunade-sama..."

"Promise me!"

"Hai...Tsunade-sama..."

Why? Why was she remembering this now? She was, she was wrong. No doubt about it. With it, the rush flowed through her heart like blood. With it, her skin tingled like how a man touched a woman's skin. With it, her breathing stabled as if it were air.

Tap, tap, tap.

She retched, gagging up the past meal that she did not eat. One hand held her hair back while the other gripped the edge of the slightly worn-out seat of the toilet. It clashed with her skin, grating and rubbing and touching... Just thinking about it made her stomach act up again.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

No, no, no, no. She wouldn't, her stomach wouldn't do this if she just had a little... just a little. That wouldn't do anything right? A little would just help her feel better and not... not this. She didn't need it. No, in fact, she could live without it. But right now, a little bit... a little.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

She wiped the side of her mouth clean where drool had been storing up. Heat rose from her chest to her face and if she closed her eyes, she could almost see the wisps of steam leave her face. It left her gasping for breath.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

A small part of her wanted to know what her father would think. Would he be ashamed? Would he curse her mother for the unwanted 23 chromosomes that resided in her body? She lightly laughed and it slowly grew until she was choking on the putrid smell of vomit. He wouldn't... he wouldn't care! The very thought was amusing. Besides, what he could possibly do that was worse than this need coursing in her veins, in her soul?

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap!

What the hell was that... that damning noise? It matched the pounding in her head, the churning in her gut, and she groaned, slowly getting up so as to not alert the nausea. She moved to the sink, ready to rinse her mouth, when she paused, watching the drops of water.

Tap, tap, tap...

She shook, her breath not quite getting in. Her hands quaked as she hastily turned on the faucet. Everything was shaking like an earthquake that was gripping her from her very core as the need for more and the need to stop battled it out in her heart. The pounding in her head exploded in one sharp point then everywhere as she couldn't reign in the repercussions.

Oh kami... Okaa-san... Okaa-san...

She could almost feel that familiar soft stroke of a gentle hand on her worn and tired cheek. Hinata sunk into it like a babe does their mother's breast, sinking and sinking but not quite drowning. It was warm, it was kind, it was... Okaa-san.
