Hinata's POV

Sasuke and Sakura looked at me with absolute confusion. It's true though, their answer to their question is short and simple like that.

"I don't know how I felt about dancing with Naruto-kun," I repeated, trying to get the shock off their faces.

Sasuke looked a little worried with my answer. I really don't know what else to say. Naruto has no idea who I am and it's not like he's going to constantly see me since I'm just working in his emergency room.

Sasuke, Sakura, and I are hanging out at the cafe right by the hospital the three mornings later. Nothing much has happened after the dance. Naruto excused himself and never returned to the party, according to my diaper buddy. I haven't seen him since and listening in on the thousands of rumor roaming the halls of the hospital, Jason had been taken care of all the work while he's out sick for the days.

Sakura took a sip of her green tea, "We were expecting something else."

"I'm sorry but that's all I got," I shrugged, playing with the ice cubes in my coffee. "Naruto-kun has no flipping idea I was the lady behind the mask. And if he did, well he's not showing any signs of any interest whatsoever."

"It's going to get more complicated from here on out, Bookworm," Sasuke sighed. "You best be careful if you don't want him looking for you every second of the day."

"He's a CEO," I replied. "So, he'll be busy with all the CEO business while I save lives in his emergency room. We don't have to interact at all and I managed to survive our first encounter together."

Sakura gave me a small smile, "You must feel invincible."

"In a way," my phone beeped. I glanced at it, surprised to see a different phone number I've never seen before and asking me to:

Come to my office. I need to talk to you. In Kanji.

"Who texted?" Sasuke asked, throwing his arm around Sakura's shoulder at their shared booth.

I feel like a third wheel.

"I think I'm in trouble with someone," I flashed the message to the couple. "Do you know the number?"

Their eyes widened, shock written all over their face it isn't even funny.

I get the feeling I know who it is...

~~~~~~~~~

It took me FOREVER to find the damn office. I wandered into the baby floor twice and Skylar had to take me to the office the second time. Not my fault I suck at reading maps and signs. Plus this hospital is HUGE!

The giant door leading into the president's office stayed shut as I slowly walked up to it. The office had it's own floor that did not appear on the map, might I add. Probably one of the many reasons why I got lost, too.

I need to approach this meeting with confidence, with no shuttering, no nothing to see if he'll recognize me. I could always wear a doctor mask and say I'm sick but hell, that ain't no confidence!

I'm a different Hinata now. Whether he likes it or not, I'm different. I'm more confident no longer a shy little turtle who doesn't shutter when Naruto is around. I talk straight, I even yell at people for a living now.

Gathering myself up, I knocked on the door.

Jason appeared a second later, surprised at my appearance. Closing the door slightly he leaned in and whispered, "I didn't think you'd actually come."

I blinked, "Yeah, our president texted me. Of course I have to come."

"I know but," he sighed. "The guy hasn't stopped pacing even once ever since he sent text."

"Why?"

"Nervous maybe," Jason shrugged. "You are the love of his life."

"I doubt that."

"Hey," Jason furrowed his brows. "Don't be like that. Go talk to him, I think it's time. You have my number, if anything happens, I'm a phone call away and your escape route."

Jason and I might've gotten off on the wrong foot when I first arrived but I've sat him down not long ago and we've talked for hours. He's proven to be one of those... gay best friends that every girl needs in her life. He's not gay, really because he has an eye on a certain intern but he's the best at giving out advice.

I patted his shoulder, "Thanks, I'll take it from here."

He shouted back into the before leaving the room altogether. Holding up a hand, I gave him a high five as he wandered down the hallway towards the elevators.

My turn, now.

I knocked once more and opened the door to a wow!

The office was drop dead the same that I forgot I was actually in here before. Nothing has changed, not a single thing out of place. Except the few ramen cups in the trash can by the desk.

The last time I was here, I kissed Naruto goodbye and he made me an empty promise.

Depressing much.

"Dr. Lee," he breathed. I finally caught sight of him at one of the big windows. He looked at me once but there was no major reaction whatsoever.

I bowed slightly, "President."

"Please, have a seat," he gestured to the two chairs facing his desk. He walked over to his more comfortable computer seat and sat down.

I sat down, at the edge of the chair just in case it got too uncomfortable and I needed to bolt. My heart is aching so much that I could've bolted right then and there but my honor and man-pride held me back.

He turned to his iMac computer and started typing. I know Naruto, he didn't just invite me into his office just to watch him work on my paperwork. He's working up his own courage to say what he needed to say.

I gave him five minutes and that's when he started speaking.

"Why did you lie to me?" asked Naruto.

Here it goes.

"Because I thought it was necessary," I said, bluntly.

He glanced at me, "Why? To hide from me? I run this hospital, Hina. No matter what, I know everything that happens within these walls and the twenty others around the world."

"Am I supposed to be intimidated by that?" I hissed.

"That's not what I'm saying," his full attention is on me now. "What I'm saying is that even if you're somewhere else, I always know where you are... not only three nights ago, but for eight years."

I blinked at him and ripped my eyes away, "So? You've been stalking me behind the scenes but never came to me yourself and talked to me or apologize."

"Apologize for what, Hinata?" I could tell his patient is running low and I'm willing to test the waters. "You're the one who left me because you're afraid you'd be a distraction!"

"You're the one who made a promise to come and get me!" I snapped back, his face softened a bit then. "I've been waiting for you for all these years, Naruto. And never once did I see you around the corner smiling at me. I kept looking within that first year. I kept looking everywhere I went, everywhere I go to see if I could catch a glimpse of you keeping your promise but I never did. Then one day I finally did see your face and guess where it is? On some talk show with Valerie talking about your daughter. You were smiling, you seemed happy when the lady asked if you two were married. I didn't hear the answer because I couldn't take it!"

I stood up, every single emotion about him mixed in my bloodstream, "I've spent eight years rebuilding myself without relying on people like you or Sasuke all the time to be with me every step of the way! And see where I got? I'm the most reowned doctor out there! Yet why am I still missing something?! Oh, that's right! You ripped my heart out without even doing anything!"

"I know it's my fault for not coming to see you," he said softly. "And I-I know it was my fault you left me. But I-I... I don't know what to say."

"Don't say anything," I said as coldly as I could. "Because that's what you're good at. I admit I was angry for some time but I got over it! And when I needed you the most, you were happily living with a new family that I never existed in the first place and now that I'm back into your perfect life, you're trying to rekindle anything we had in the past just so you can keep up your happy life. Well, guess what, Naruto. This is the last time I'll ever be seeing you. After I'm done with this stupid little contract breaker, I'll be out of your life again. This time, it's for good."

I turned my back to him but he leaped over the table to stop me! What the hell? Naruto was in front of me within seconds and he pulled me into a hug. I fought against his chest but I couldn't. The tears had already come and it's making my body weak. I can't fall for his little actions anymore, it means nothing to him. I mean nothing to him. Never had, never did.

"I nearly beat Jason up for changing the channel," he started, stopping me from hitting his chest with my fists. "Whenever I see you on TV. Whether it's yourself or some kind of scandal involving you, Jason would try to change the channel but I stopped him. After hearing the problem, I go online and do everything I can to dissolve it. I'm always that one fan that sticks up for you and stays with you through thick and thin."

I stopped, "Y-you're Kyubilovesthedocboss89?"

"Yeah," he chuckled softly. "I'm the one."

"Why are you telling me this?" I dropped my arms to the side.

The man's grip tightened around my body, "Because you need to know, that even if I'm not physically with you, I will always fight for you. Even if it's behind the scenes and you don't even know if it's not me."

I shouldn't be falling for this. I can't be falling for this! But yet here I am, face in his nice suit, sobbing to my heart's content.

His hand stroked my long raven hair and he didn't say anything else. All those times, whether it's hooking up with some kind of weird celebrity or doing drugs in a train station, a comment on all the news media came up saying that I was with the person at that time and he'd even photoshop a pic and send it in. I've survived countless times because of Naruto. That would explain why whenever I try to send gifts to him, he says just seeing me working is good enough.

So, I've secretly been relying on Naruto without even knowing.

Maybe I do need him in my life.

My phone beeped in my doctor lab coat but before I could grab it, Naruto grabbed it.

"Hey! I need that! I might be an emergency," I wiped my eyes once before trying to reach for it.

Dammit! He got taller and it's not helping!

"It says: Drug overdose teenage boy coming in in five."

I jumped once and snatched my phone out of his hand, "Then I'm leaving."

I walked around him but he stopped me with, "Wait!"

Arms pulled me back into a chest, "Don't forget to hug me every time you leave."

"This conversation doesn't change anything," I said, as calmly as I could because my heart isn't letting me.

"Then I'll change that," his chin in my shoulder, he nuzzled and pulled me closer. "Expect to hear from me soon."
