The Love We Never Knew We Had [Discontinued]

Part 12

~HINATA~

"You're so weak, Hinata."

"Your little sister was able to overpower you."

"You are such a disgrace to the Hyugas."

"Y-you're wrong!" I shouted, "I-I'm strong! Just wait, you'll see!"

I was greeted with laughter.

"No!" I yelled.

"Hinata."

I covered my ears to block out the voices.

"Hinata."

I shook my head.

"Hinata!"

My eyes flew open and I sat up quickly. My body was cold and heavy. I looked around and noticed Sasuke a few paces away, a worried look on his face.

"W-where am I?"

"At the training grounds," he responded. Searching my face, he asked, "What happened?"

"I-" I began, but nothing came. "I don't know."

Sasuke stared at me for a bit. Then, he inquired, "What was the last thing you remember?"

I wracked my brain for an answer. "Um, well I was talking with, someone, last night. Oh, it was Kiba. I was talking to Kiba, then I guess I fell asleep, and, erm, well."

He looked at me and sighed, "I suppose we should take you to the hospital."

Without warning, he picked me up and carried me on his back.

"S-Sasuke?" I asked.

"You can't walk, not in your current state," he exclaimed, "I'll take you to the hospital. Meanwhile, you try and remember what happened."

He began walking, and I laid my head on his shoulder. I squirmed for a bit, trying to get comfortable. Once satisfied, I began to lightly doze.

"SASUKE!"

My eyes shot open, and I jumped a little.

I heard a noise, and looking down, I realized it had come from Sasuke. He was probably scorning me for falling asleep instead of being alert.

Shaking my head lightly, I turned my attention to the person who called his name.

I was greeted by Kiba, and three other people.

"Hinata?" one with blonde hair asked.

"Hey are you alright?" another asked. He was holding a bag of chips and greedily munching on them.

"She's fine," Sasuke responded, "I'm taking her to the hospital though, just to be safe."

"Tch, what a drag," another boy with spiky hair spoke.

"Hey Hinata," Kiba said, "are you sure you're alright?"

"Y-yeah," I answered, "j-just, give me a minute, to remember."

"Remember?" the blonde asked. He was strangely familiar. Then, it hit me as hard as a cannonball.

"N-Naruto!?"
