Lavender Love Beauty

Chapter 21

Hinata was the only one up in the dark, chilly, and rainy night. Since she couldn't sleep she decided to crawl out of her tent and take a night stroll to make her tired.

Crawling out of her tent she stood up quietly on the slippery wet grass. She didn't mind the rain it actually made her feel really warm inside. Her mother once told her that when it rain's it washes all the anger and sins in the world. That it made people more happy and hopeful.

Hinata looked at Naruto-kun's tent. She put a warm smile on her face, "Naruto-kun.." She whispered to herself. She held her hand over her heart, she remembered the scar he asked to see.

She actually forgot how she got the large scar, Yamato and Sakura told her that Orochimaru gave it to her, but when they explained to her how it happened it looked like they were trying to hide something from her.

Washing the odd thought away she silently walked out of camp. As the rain lightly pored down on her soft, sleek night blue hair. Walking into the forest she looked around at the lush green trees.

She saw a large opening in the forest with a large flat rock in the middle of it. Hinata decided to walk over to the opening. She stood up on the large gray rock.

The large crescent moon shone down through the large dark clouds on top of the lavender beauty. Hinata stared in amazement, "Pretty!.." Hinata said surprised.

Hinata wondered what would happen once she got back to the village. How would she confess her feelings towards Naruto-kun? What if he already is in love with someone else? Maybe it would be better if he fell for someone else besides her, after all, she was such a burden towards everyone.

Sadness washed over her until she thought of what Naruto-kun had said to her.

'Hinata I think you are strong, brave, kind, and beautiful..'

Hinata smiled, sleep soon dragged over her. She started to walk towards the forest only for her vision starting to get blurry. She soon fell against a tree and fell asleep soundly.

"Hinata! Hinata! Hinata!" A voice yelled out.

Hinata's eyes flew open but her vision was still blurry. She was able to make out a person with yellow hair and an orange suit. Naruto-kun.

Hinata's vision soon cleared and she saw she was in the forest. I must've fallen asleep trying to get back to camp. Hinata thought to herself. Getting to her feet she felt her body frozen. I feel so. so cold.

Naruto wondered what Hinata was doing out in the rain so early in the morning, he left camp to go to the bathroom and happened to see Hinata off in the distance laying down by a tree.

Reaching Hinata she looked pale and weak, but he decided to keep it to himself, because if he said it he thought Hinata might get offended.

"Hey Hinata what are you doing out here?" Naruto said looking at her and noticed she was soaking wet.

"I-I um, was taking a w-walk.." Hinata said shyly. Hinata started to shiver, she felt so cold inside.

"Well, it looks like you took a long walk your soaked!" Naruto said with a grin hiding his concern.

"Y-Yea.." Hinata stammered.

"Well, let's get back to camp and get you changed." Naruto smiled.

"O-Okay." Hinata shivered to hold back a cough. I must've caught a cold.

The two walked back together to the camp. Hinata managed to get dressed in black skinny jeans that Sakura gave her as a gift and a lavender long sleeve t-shirt. She put on the black hoodie that Sakura also gave her to match her jeans.

Soon after everyone awoke to gather their things up. They set out in the rain heading for their village.

Naruto made sure to keep an eye on Hinata, she didn't look like her normal self. He was right too, he would catch Hinata walking side to side and then walk back in her normal way. Hinata would even fall behind the group and then hurry and catch up.

"Hey, um Hinata are you feeling well?" Naruto asked looking down at Hinata.

Hinata looked up at him, her vision blurry since they left where their old camp was. "I-I'm fine.." Hinata said looking up at the blurry image of Naruto-kun.

Naruto decided he shouldn't argue with Hinata, he heard from Kiba she could be pretty scary sometimes. Though Naruto could never image Hinata being scary, she was more like the gentle shy kind.

As the group walked in the rain Shikamaru and Sakura grumbled angrily about their arms hurting because they had to hold up an umbrella because of the rain. Naruto and the others didn't mind the rain.

Night fell rather quickly that day. Naruto and Shikamaru put up the tents, while Sakura and Hinata and Sai gathered wood for a fire.

Yamato made a large wooden canopy to cover the tents from the rain. That day they walked about nineteen to twenty miles. Kakashi said about eight more miles the rain would stop since they would only be about twelve more miles from the village.

"Okay lets split up to look for wood, it would be faster that way." Sakura insisted.

"Okay, Sakura," Sai said.

"O-Okay.." Hinata said.

The group split up, Hinata walked through the forest, her vision had gotten worse since they left their last camp. She felt even weaker, she wished she told Naruto she wasn't feeling well but she didn't.

Sakura managed to find some twigs, and Sai managed to find some twigs as well. Sam walked back to camp and dropped off his load of twigs and sticks. Sai decided to go check to see if Hinata needed any help. Right, when he was going to leave Naruto stopped him.

"Where are you going?" Naruto asked.

"I'm going to see if Hinata needs any help, I'll be right back," Sai said walking off.

"Well hurry so you can help me put up the rest of the tents before Shikamaru yells at me again for putting the tent up wrong!" Naruto said.

Hinata managed to find so sticks, so she decided to go back to camp. As soon as she started to walk back she lost the feeling of her legs and fell to the ground, she started to have a hard time breathing.

Sam walked around the forest calling Hinata's name until he made out her body laying on the ground.

"Hinata!" Sai said loudly racing up to her.

Sakura heard Sai yell out Hinata's name and dropped her load and ran to where she heard it.

After a few moments, Sakura reached the two, she looked at Hinata worryingly.

"What happened?" Sakura asked looking at Hinata getting to her knees.

"I don't know I found her like this.." Sai said.

"She's hyperventilating help me get her up!" Sakura said.

Sai hurry and did what he was told and got Hinata to her feet.

"Carry her back to camp we need to get her out of this rain and into a warm area," Sakura said in a serious tone.

Sai did what he was told and picked Hinata up bridal style.

As the time went by Kakashi saw Sakura and Sai rushing up to them. Kakashi saw Sai was carrying Hinata. What happened?

"Put her next to the fire!" Sakura said to Sai, and of course, Sai obeyed.

Naruto looked at them confused until he saw Sai lay Hinata down on the ground, she was breathing really fast. Naruto hurried and rushed towards her.

"What's wrong with Hinata?!" Naruto asked worryingly.

"She's going to be alright, she just has been overworking herself and she has a cold," Sakura said tending to.

Naruto was still uncertain but he put his trust in Sakura. He looked down at Hinata who was breathing hard. "Hinata.," Naruto whispered to himself.
