Chapter 2 Caged Bird PART 2

Naruto: Wow...you are lazzzy!

Hinani: I know...now shut it!

Naruto:

Sasuke: Just write!

Hinani: -growls- fine...

Hinata had been asleep or dead(as some of them thought of it) for about a week now, her father was the only one in her family who hadn't visited her. Neji had stayed by her side the whole time. He in fact had started growing a beard, nah..I'm just kidding. Everyone except Sasuke and Gaara had spoken to her.

"Teme! Go visit Hinata-chan!" Naruto would yell. "I didn't know her...I don't have to!" The last remaining noble Uchiha would comment. But that same Uchiha was going to visit her, when it was needed. But if I told you when,it would be a spoiler, so just continue reading to find out. (I love teasing you guys! LOL)

"Gaara! Please go visit Hinata!" Temari would whine. "Yeah, she didn't do anything bad to you." Kankuro said. "Maybe..." Gaara would say, but he never went. Why? Because he will come in, at a very important time of need. For now, he will not be in this story, but Haiku will.

Who is Haiku you ask? He is a ninja from the mist, fell in love with Hinata on a mission of hers. Haiku entered the poorly decorated building. "Hello, miss,yes, I need to find Miss.Hinata Hyuga's room. " He said politely. "Room 413. " The woman at the counter whispered, not looking him directly in the eye. For fear he would hurt her. Haiku was a well-built young man. He had strange gold hued brown hair, sort of a copper color. He also had a strange shade of green for his left eye and a red-ish color for his right eye. Haiku was an aggressive looking-teen for such a calm and peaceful name.

They had convinced Neji, to go out, so no one was with Hinata. The young man entered the room, it was a icky shade of yellow. "Yuck..this is room is highly unsanitary." Haiku hissed. He starred at Hinata's calm, pale face. "Hinata...please get better..." He whispered, holding back the fairly-large soon-to-come tears. "Why'd you have to go and die?!" He yelled, his voice booming through the whole hospital. A large tear fell onto Hinata's cheek and he left, quickly shuffling his feet, to leave sooner.

Later that same day Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata's former crush, her idol, came to visit her, for the fifth time that week. It's true Naruto had developed some kind of feelings for Hinata, afraid that she didn't like him, he said she was weird. It's quite on the contrary though, Hinata is the perfect girl to Naruto, kind, nice body, shy, loving, and giving...very giving. "Humph, Uchiha is very selfish, ne Hinata-chan?" Naruto said chuckling, half-hearted. A tear slid off his whiskered cheek and landed on Hinata's cheek. "Hope you get better, Hinata-chan..." He said quietly before walking out. "I'm not selfish, dope..." A cold voice said from no where. Naruto looked everywhere, he couldn't find the source though.

Naruto shrugged and walked out of the hospital. "Hinata...get better damn it!" The voice from before yelled. "Please..." It continued. A tear fell from the unknown source and landed next to the other two. But there was still no figure, you could only hear the person's voice. Then the oh-so-well known red headed guy we all love came in and it was silent. "Hinata...I'm sorry...I couldn't protect you...get better." There was no tears from the red head, but he left a flower, a sand flower, only found in Suna. It had delicate red petals, with blue and green leaves, the stem was a orange-green color. (The colors each stand for a boy that just came in. Haiku-Green, Naruto-Orange, Sasuke-Blue, Gaara-Red) Gaara then left.

The hours past and Hinata showed no chance of living, until at about 11 PM, she sat up, panting hard. When everyone was informed they rushed over, all of them, that came to visit her.

"HINATA!" They all yelled. She jumped and stared at them.

"Hi guys, what'd I miss?" She asked like nothing had happened at all.

"Hinata! We thought you would die!" Tenten yelled. Hinata smiled at them and wiped the tears from Tenten's face.

"Calm down, I wouldn't leave without saying good bye to you guys first." Hinata said, smiling brightly. They all took turns to hug her. Then Tsunade came in. 'I'm sorry, Hinata can't leave the hospital yet." She said. They nodded and hugged her again, leaving quickly.

Hinani: Sorry if it's too short...crap I lost my touch...and my brain...

Naruto: You JUST lost your brain?

Hinani: humph...meanie!

Naruto: haha!

Ino: Naruto! Don't make her feel worst then she's already feeling...

Hinani: Thank you...

Ino: Even tho it's true
