Fourteenth Sunshine [Video Post]

[hyuugahime]

[Hinata is back at Unohana's Clinic. She's been seen to and bandaged and patched up, but from where she is lying on her stomach on the bed, one can see that the beautiful, purple butterfly wings that took up most of her back at the beginning of the week have been torrn to shreds.

The damage was heavy, and obviously, Unohana wasn't able to repair it all. There is still some dried blood flaking on the wings where minute tears are mending, and Hinata's face constrict with pain every time they flutter.

The kunoichi is gritting her teeth, apparently fighting back tears and failing when a sob finally escapes her.]

N-Naruto-kun ... W-Why can't I ... ever help anyone ?

[The feed switches off.]

You really should have more faith in yourself, Hinata.

[Still crying, but her sobs are starting to calm down a little. Mostly, she seems to have exhausted herself with it.]

I-I'm sorry ...

Don't apologize, Hinata, you have nothing to be sorry for.

[She almost apologizes again - for apologizing - and catches herself at the last moment. There's a strange sound as a sob is mixed in with a weak giggle and a soft gasp of pain as her wings shudder.]]

You know, you still owe me a spar.

[That actually earns a full-fledged giggle.]

Y-yes, I do ... M-Maybe later, though ?

I guess, if you absolutely need to rest.

[But he smiles a little.]

I don't think Unohana-san will let me out just yet.

No, she shouldn't. I'll come see you later when you're feeling better.

[He's gotta go get his wings ripped off and crap. <3]

... Alright.

[Thank you, Zuko-san.

[Damnit, Zuko ! and then you'll wonder why she thinks she's not good enough !]

You're welcome.

[Oh, most definitely. Zuko doesn't often get his ass kicked by girls unless they're Azula. Or Katara. Or Toph. ... okay, nevermind.]
