Well… gomen, minna-san if I took my time doing this damn chapter.
How to Save a Life
Chapter 3: Mistake
Hinata's eyes widened when Sasuke punched her on the stomach.
She panicked.
Everything spinned.
Everything became blurry.
She didn't pass out but she felt something from her stomach and that feeling started to spread throughout her body.
She felt numb, yet, in pain.
Her skin seemed to be on fire. Her bones seemed to melt. Her heart wanted to explode but she couldn't pass out now… she shouldn't.
Quickly, she managed to reach Sasuke by crawling miserably.
Then, she hugged Sasuke's leg.
He stopped.
She hugged tighter as if it was her life.
"Sasuke, please… please stay… even just for an hour and you're free to do whatever you want… An hour… Please… Just one more hour and then, I'll… let you go…" Without caring that Hinata had her weak arms wrapped around his leg, he walked, dragging along the girl. (How cruel!)
Still, she didn't let go.
"Just one… one more hour." She pleaded, tears pouring down her face.
He closed his eyes and kicked her like dirt.
"Why should I?" He said coldly as he walks off.
She felt alone, hurt inside and out.
She feels like a fool to believe that Sasuke would even listen to her.
She always knew that the young Uchiha needs to gain power.
…Sasuke needs to kill Itachi.
…Sasuke Uchiha needs to avenge his clan.
…Hinata Hyuuga always knows that one day this would happen and she'll be left alone.
Besides, who is she to stop him?
She's only a Hyuuga girl.
She is only Hinata. She is no one but Hinata Hyuuga.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
That next morning, he felt guilt. She only wanted an hour, after all. An hour to be with him was all that she asked. Was that too much to ask?
Yet, he coldly refused.
He even hurt her and said mean things to her.
So, he decided to go back to Konoha for a while just to check if she's feeling fine.
But somehow, she couldn't be found.
She's not in her house, not in the ramen bar, not everywhere!
Then, he found a blonde boy wearing an orange jumpsuit.
"Naruto… He might know something." He thought.
He noticed that Naruto wasn't himself.
He sat on the swing and swung himself slowly.
"Hey, moron."
Sasuke said, expecting a loud response from the damn Uzumaki.
Unfortunately, things didn't went as he expected. "Oh, Sasuke, it's you." Naruto said.
"Where's Hinata?"
Naruto didn't answer.
"I'm asking you, moron." He began to raise his voice.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
"I don't know… but I do know that it's somewhere nice and safe." He whispered.
"I'm not asking what kind of place she's in! I'm asking WHERE she is!" He shouted, patience slipping out.
"Alright! I'll tell you, she's gone! She's dead! She's… she's dead, happy now?" Sasuke's eyes widened.
"No way." He thought.
"How?! What the hell happened to her?! Did she commit suicide, or somethin'?!" He asked, still couldn't believe what he's hearing.
Naruto looked at the ground. "You see, when you left… well, I don't know what really happened! No one knew what happened. All we know is the cause of her death! Damn it!" Naruto exploded.
"Then tell me, idiot!!" Sasuke exploded as well.
"We're guessing that after you left, maybe someone attacked her and punched her on the stomach." He explained shallowly.
"What!? But Hinata is a strong girl! She wouldn't die just because of a damn punch!!"
Naruto still didn't know that Sasuke was the one who punched Hinata.
"Well, it's something complicated to Hinata! You see, it was her weak point. There is some kind of poison in her stomach that when her stomach is punched, the poison gets triggered and begins to poison her body… Damn! Curse that guy who did that to Hinata!" Tears flowed from Naruto's eyes.
Sasuke, on the other hand, wasn't paying full attention to Naruto.
Lots of things were going on in his head.
He knows that his punch wasn't strong. But he didn't know that it is her weak point.
Therefore, he's the one who killed Hinata.
He's the one who killed his beloved.
But… he didn't mean to.
He didn't do it on purpose.
Besides, why would he want to kill the one he loves??
He didn't mean to hurt her, worse, to kill her.
Tears formed in his eyes.
"Hinata…" Sasuke ran towards the hospital.
"W-Wait, Sasuke, her body is missing! We couldn't find her body. We last saw her body in the hospital but now, it's missing!"
Sasuke stopped on his tracks.
"What the hell are you, people, doing?!" Then, he began to run again, determined to look for her.
She couldn't be dead! Besides, if she is, then, why is her body missing?
As he was running, he stepped on something small and soft.
