Japanese Military Support Base

Hinata

With each step I took I made sure I was as ninja quiet as I could. The guilt that raked through my body was very strong and I have no authority to see him. But I need to apologize to him myself and because I put him in the situation he's in now, I need to do this in person.

I begged Sasuke to turn the other way so I could meet with the captain. Or no longer captain... what he did for me is definitely going to affect his job negatively.

If the son of the Swedish Prime Minister won't wake up... it's just not going to be pretty.

I knocked once on the backseat of the Jeep. Almost immediately, the window rolled down to present a smiling Naruto.

"Hey you," the captain said. "Nice night, isn't it?"

"Why did you do it?" I went straight to the point. Sasuke said I had limited time with this lovely idiot and I plan on using every millisecond on him.

Naruto sat back with a sigh in the backseat of the car. There wasn't really any place to lock him up for his damned actions so Shikamaru came up with the super idea of locking him in the backseat in handcuffs and without any keys. Even though it's two AM in Eskon, the summer heat is terrifying.

"Naruto-kun," I raised an eyebrow.

"Because that bastard one: pointed a gun at you and two: didn't think you were capable of removing a bullet from a dude," Naruto suddenly scoffed speaking under his breath. "It was only a damn bullet. No need to make it such a big deal."

I tapped his head twice, "Hey. The 'dude' was the Swedish Prime Minister's son. Of course they have to be a lot more careful with him. I don't take any offence to anything, really. The guard was just doing his job."

"But what he said was not his job," Naruto grumbled. "And I didn't punch him."

"Okay," I narrowed my eyes. "Stole his gun and smacked the end of it across his face."

Naruto smirked, "I smacked him, that's better."

The Medicure - A few hours earlier

Hinata

Ever since I got to Eskon I knew someday I will be dealing with a gun.

But never have I ever guessed I'd be on the end of one directly pointed at my forehead, too.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Naruto completely pose his cool captain demenor. A demon-like looked passed over his face at the entire interaction. I shook my head once, telling him to stay in place. He doesn't need to get into any trouble right now.

"Sir," I said as calmly as I could. "The Prime Minister's son needs to be tended to right away."

The frantic beeping on the IV monitor was almost deafening as I continued, "He will not survive for long if we keep this up."

The guard had the head of a pineapple, "Nobody can touch him until his doctor gets here. One of my men has already called him and he is on his way."

I closed my eyes, annoyed, "If we don't take care of him now then there won't be a patient to look at when that doctor is here."

The guard's bold head was slowly turning pink with his own anger, the grip on his gun tightened, "No one except his doctor can touch him!"

"Then he will die otherwise!" I said. "How much more clearer can I get?!"

I was getting angry myself and I needed to get this point through his damned head, "Either he gets the surgery now or he loses his life."

The guard had a headset attached around his head probably asking for some instructions. It doesn't seem like he's getting the answer he wanted.

Naruto suddenly marched between me and the guy. He grabbed the gun out of the guy's hand and slammed it across his face. The gasps that filled the room echoed within the walls. Only Shikamaru tried not to laugh during the entire situation.

What scared me more was Naruto suddenly flipped the gun until it was facing the guy. Immediately the rest of the guards grabbed their guns and pointed it at all of us. Naruto's team sprung into action, their own weapons drawn as well.

How the hell did this happen?

I didn't even notice Naruto had an earpiece in his ear until I looked at him again.

"You're in my camp," he pulled the earpiece out. "And it's my rules so if my lady doctor and my medics will be the ones saving his life."

I had to grab his olive t-shirt to stop him from doing anything else but it almost no effect on him.

"So what's it's gonna be?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke kept stealing glances at his captain with his headpiece in. I'm gonna take the wild guess and say that the commander is practically dying to get his hands around the captain's neck.

"Hinata, Sakura," Naruto called to us. "Get the OR ready and operate."

"Don't," someone said.

But the little gun showdown happening in front of us was getting too intense. I didn't know what to do.

If we took Naruto's instructions then something bad will happen to him.

If we don't...

"Hinata!" Naruto suddenly shouted, surprising everybody in the room.

Naruto is sacrificing himself for this patient. So what I need to do is not let the agent die.

"Quickly," I turned to the medics and my team. "Kazuki, Mina prepare the OR. Hisao-senpai, Hanako-senpai help me and Sakura roll the patient into the room."

"What do you think you're doing?!" A loud screech came out of Naruto's earpiece but he ignored it completely.

"Do it," Naruto smiled with his focus still on the enemy in front. "Do it fast."

Naruto's Prison - Present

Hinata

I looked at him again as he was playing with his handcuffs. Or a zip tie because Sasuke didn't have handcuffs.

"Naruto-kun?" I asked kicking a nearby pebble in in the dark. "What if the procedure didn't work?"

"Don't say that," he replied instantly.

"I'm just saying i-if," I looked around. "What will happen to you?"

"I'm more afraid of what might happen to you," Naruto sighed. "I'd just lose my job."

That is right. I was the one that operated on the patient. I was the one that held the knife and cut him open because I didn't want anybody else to be responsible.

I'm the one that's going to receive the worst punishment.

"Hey," I looked up to see the captain sticking his head out the window, the ocean eyes looked at me with comfort that could help me brave through everything. "You're one of the greatest doctors I have ever met. I know that whatever you did back there definitely saved his life."

"Naruto-kun..."

"Don't worry," he smiled. "You're Dr. Hinata Hyuga, the only one that was fearless enough to take over the entire operation and not let any of the other six doctors in the room do anything."

"Who told you that?"

"Kazuki and Hisao," he nodded then chuckled. "They came earlier to thank me for smacking the guard across the face when they couldn't do it themselves."

"No they'd just jump the guard then get their asses handed to them," I giggled.

"Now that," Naruto suddenly said. "Is a beautiful sound."

"What is?"

"Your happiness," he sighed. "If I wasn't tied up, I'd squeeze the living life out of you right now."

I blushed, "But you are tied up so you can't."

"No," he smirked. "But I can do this."

I didn't anticipate the kiss but I was more than happy to return it without another thought. It wasn't too long because we both knew that we could be caught at any given moment. But just long enough for him to reassure me with his love.

"T-thank you," I murmured, pulling back a bit. "And good night."

"Yeah," he replied, still a little dazed from the kiss. "Good night, Hinata."

I turned and took two steps before turning around again, "N-Naruto-kun?"

"Hm?"

"I love you," I smiled.

The light in his eyes bounced to life and I didn't miss the little blush under his whisker-like birthmarks.

"I love you, too."
