"Naruto you sick bastard! What's wrong with you?!"

"Sakura! What are you talking about?"

"You gave Hinata H-H-HIV! How could you do that to her?!" She screamed.

"W-what? How do you know?"

"We both got pregnancy tests! She's got it now, Naruto, and it had to have come from you! Why risk her getting that...I hate you Naruto!" Sakura shouted, slamming the door and running out of the hallway, since she never stepped foot in his apartment. She left crying tears of sadness for her friend. When she got back to her apartment, she laid on her futon, and continued crying. Which explains why Gaara rushed inside when he heard crying.

"Sakura, are you okay? What happened?"

"Hinata and I -sniff- went and got a -sniff- pregnancy test. She couldn't tell -sniff- for me, but Hinata got HIV from -sniff- Naruto! She's -sniff- pregnant too. I don't want her to die!"

He comfortingly patted her back, but stayed silent, knowing there wasn't anything he could say. She stopped crying, but stayed laying down, lost in thought. Gaara stood up and walked another room, sitting down to do his paperwork. Sakura stood up and walked into the bathroom, talking her weapons pouch with her. She shut the door and grabbed a shuriken, shakily running it down her wrist. She took a sharp intake of breath, and slowly, painstakingly slowly, she dug it deep into her other wrist. She mistrusted her own strength, and couldn't help but scream. Gaara was there in an instant, opening the bathroom door to reveal Sakura sitting on the floor, arms and one point of a shuriken covered in blood.

"Sakura what...why?" He asked.

"I-I know you just told me not to, but I-I feel so sad for h-her. She's one of my best friends. S-s-she doesn't deserve to die!"

"Sakura, killing yourself won't help her. S-she may not die."

"She better not, but it'd benefit if Naruto did!" She screamed.

"He doesn't deserve to die either."

"He gave her death! He tried to love her, and gave her death!"

"Sakura."

"Gaara, I've done so much wrong, and in return I got a wonderful fiancee. She did nothing wrong, and she's going to die early!"

"What if Naruto didn't give it to her?"

"She'll still die!"

"True, but if he's tested, you won't blame him for her death."

"You're right...you go with him." She sniffed.

"Why me?"

"I'm a girl, I can't."

"..."

"Please, Kazekage-sama?"

"...Fine. But it's not for him."

-----------------------------Later that day; an argument and a bowl of ramen later-------------------------

"Naruto, I've got your results. You, at birth, always carried the disease, but with Kyuubi's healing chakra, he gave it to Hinata through your first orgasm. He removed it from you, permanently transferring it to her."

"W-what?!"

"It's kind of amazing really. Kyuubi...saved your life, but ended Hinata's. Judging by the condition, she doesn't have more than a month."

"No...No way! I didn't want to kill her!"

"Naruto." Gaara warned, attempting to calm him down.

"I don't want to kill her, Gaara, that'd be like you using Sand Coffin on Sakura! It hurts knowing you're the unintentional murderer! This sucks, dattebayo!" Naruto screamed, running out of the room, leaving behind a depressed Tsunade and a sympathetic Gaara.

When Naruto stopped running, he found that he was in front of the Hyuuga mansion. He quietly knocked on the door, and once it opened, he stood face to face with pupil-less eyes, although slightly taller than his own blue orbs.

"Where's Hinata, Neji?"

"I thought you'd know. She's in the hospital because of the condition you put her in. She had a heart attack."

"H-heart attack?"

"The realization that she got HIV, from you, added to the fact that she's pregnant, she had a heart attack."

"P-pregnant? But, Tsunade baa-chan said she's only got one month...Hinata...HINATA!" Naruto cried out, falling on his knees when he called to her.

"It was my destiny to protect her...but I couldn't save her from youYou aren't the only one who cares for her, Uzumaki." Neji sighed, closing his eyes.

"I'm sorry for this. It wasn't intended."

"Yes, you are sorry, but no amount of apologies will heal her."

"C-Can I go see her?"

"I won't tell you where to go. I don't want to cause her more misfortune."

"I...I see. Again, I apologize, Neji."

Said lavender-eyed boy just ignored the blond and closed the door. Naruto just walked away, on his way to Konoha Hospital. He saw a few comrades on the way, but ignored them. He felt terrible about what he, well Kyuubi, did. If he hadn't been careless, he would've died instead of Hinata possibly dying. He stopped. He'd run into something. His apartment door.

'I guess I walked here by mistake...' he thought, fumbling for his key. It took many attempts, but he managed to successfully open the door. He locked it behind him, and scurried to his bed. He laid down, on his stomach, and sobbed. He wept for the future loss that he caused. He wept for those that would miss her: her family, her friends, himself. He wept as if she was already gone. He had cried himself to sleep that night.

"Gaara, how did it go?" Sakura asked timidly, applying bandages to her self-inflicted wounds.

"One month." He said sadly.

"One month?"

"To live." He finished, staring into Sakura's jade green eyes.

"O-only a month?"

"At best."

"So then her baby..."

"Will die with her."

"No...that can't be it...why can't she live to at least see her baby being born!" She shouted, losing her little bit of control.

"Sakura, calm down. You aren't the only one hurt. Doesn't she have a large family, right? How must they feel?"

"Y-you're right. A-As al-always."

"How far along is she?"

"I...I don't know."

"Let's go check, we can visit her together."

"O-okay." She whispered.

Once there, Sakura asked the receptionist where Hinata was.

"Hyuuga Hinata? She's room 105."

"T-thank you." She whispered, the two going down the hall to visit. They entered the room, and saw Hinata on a hospital bed, with Neji sitting in a chair beside her.

"Neji.." Sakura whispered, showing concern for her friend's close relative. She was never personally close to Neji, but she felt his pain.

"Um... I came to ask Hinata how far along she was. Tsunade-sama never said so...I was curious." She muttered, stumbling across her words.

"This is her 9th month." He whispered.

"9th? How...how is that possible?" Sakura asked.

"Tsunade checked again. Her child isn't Naruto's...it's mine." He said quietly.

.:.Author's Notes.:.

Ya'll hate me for cliffhangers now, dontcha? Well, if I fail my Driver's Ed test because I stayed up too late typing this and fell asleep, I'm blaming you readers. :)

I'm afraid I'm making them OOC, or making them sound like a soap opera(even though it is a drama fic as well as angst and romance.) Well, yea. I had an idea for a random oneshot I'm thinking about posting. I'm not sure though. Anyways...that's all for now! I'll get Ch. 8 up ASAP! Ja ne,
