AN: Hello everyone, im back!

Now, some people have already figured it out, but this fic was based on Yosuga no Sora. It was one of those moe games in Japan where you choose a female character and romance that particular character. Well, i really liked the anime, so i decided to make a fanfic based on it a while back. Well, this is as far as it goes following that anime. From here on out it is 100% my own creative genius... might be giving myself a little too much credit there... anyway, just read the damn thing and be enthralled in the words of wonder!

Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto or Yosuga no Sora

Chapter 5

Fear. That was the only emotion Naruto could feel at this moment in time as he saw the door handle turn more and more. He looked up at Hinata, who was still on top of him, and he saw the same fear. It was time for action, not for him, he could handle whatever happened, no, it was for his sister, to protect her.

With a speed he never knew he could have he wrapped his arms around Hinata, hugging her close while rolling her over so he was on top. He exited her and turned to jump at the door, slamming it shut right as it was beginning to open.

Sakura almost fell flat on her back from the force of the door being closed. "What the… Naruto? Hinata? You guys in there?"

The door opened slightly and Naruto poked his head out. "S-Sorry about that Sakura…"

She looked at him with an arched eyebrow, then she noticed he was all red and sweaty. "Did you just run or something? You're all sweaty…"

Naruto nervously chuckled. "No… Nothing like that. I was just finishing up a shower… And I kinda forgot my towel in my room."

Sakura shook her head. "I swear Naruto. You would forget your own head sometimes if it wasn't attached to your body." She reached in her pocket and pulled out his cell phone. "You forgot this at school, so I figured I would just stop by and give it back."

Naruto forced a smile and stuck his hand through the crack in the door. "Thanks Sakura, you're a lifesaver. I owe you one."

She turned around and began walking down the driveway, waving her hand behind her. "Yeah yeah, just don't be so forgetful, and I'll see you tomorrow at school."

Naruto watched her leave and shut the door with a sigh. He turned to Hinata who had an amused smile on her face while still sitting where he left her.

"Hinata… That was too close… I… I think…"

The smile left her face. "What do you think?"

He swallowed the lump in his throat. "I don't think we should do that anymore. I… I just don't think it's a good idea."

She stared at him in disbelief. "What do you mean it isn't a good idea!? I thought it was a good idea not five minutes ago when you were all over me! I… I thought you loved me…"

Naruto grabbed his jacket next to the door and put it over her shoulders to cover her. "I do love you Hinata, I love you more than you know, and nothing will ever change that. But… This… What we're doing… It's just wrong. I tried to justify it, tried to convince myself that we would be able to make it work, but when Sakura almost caught us… A million scenarios played in my head about what would have happened if she found us. I can't bear the thought of ruining your life like that. I would rather kill myself than drag you down with me."

The entire time Naruto was trying to reason with her tears were flowing down his eyes.

"I know it will hurt… It hurts me just thinking about not being with you, but I that the pain will be worth it if it means you can lead a normal life. I've done everything I can to make sure you're happy, and these past few days has been the happiest I've ever been, but I get sick just imagining your life as a social pariah. You're beautiful, you're so smart, you're a really caring person, and anyone would be lucky to have your love, but it just can't be me."

He turned his back to her, partly so he didn't have to see her heartbroken expression, but mostly so he wouldn't give into temptation and run to her side and forget everything he was trying to do. He couldn't control the tears anymore, and now his eyes were blurry and swollen.

"I… I'm so sorry Hinata…"

He walked to the bathroom ignoring the pleas of his sister on the ground sobbing. He reached the door and walked inside, knowing he wouldn't be able to handle the emotional stress of sparing a glance over his shoulder. He turned on the shower and stepped inside, letting the warm water wash over him as he curled up in the fetal position and cried himself to sleep.

The next few days Hinata had stayed home from school, and whenever Naruto was asked about her absence he put on a fake smile and responded that she was sick. He tried his best to mask the pain and sadness in his voice, but his friends were able to see that something was wrong. It would be a total of four days before she finally came back to school, but she didn't talk to anyone, and she walked to school alone.

Naruto just told everyone she was going through a grumpy phase and that she would be better soon, but his friends were more concerned with him at the moment. Ever since he distanced himself from Hinata he found a lack of motivation. He began losing weight because he would hardly eat. It wasn't that he wasn't hungry, in fact his mouth watered over every piece of food he saw, it was that he had no desire to eat. He also had dark rings under his eyes from barely sleeping, since every time he closed his eyes he saw the tear-stained face of his sister and it brought a whole new set of tears to his own eyes, knowing that he was the reason for causing his sister so much pain.

He set his new routine. He would wake up, get himself ready for school, and then make breakfast for Hinata that she would eat when he left the house. He would only manage to force down enough food down his throat so he didn't pass out later. He would then walk to school with one of his friends while dodging questions about why he was so depressed. At school he would either stare out the window or try to get even a few more minutes of sleep. Then he would come home after school and make Hinata dinner, once again eating the bare minimum so he would be able to function, then head to his room to start the process all over again.

Two weeks this vicious cycle went on, two weeks since he had last spoken to his sister, two weeks since he broke his own heart for her well-being, but this would be the start of worst part of his life.

Hinata woke up once again covered in a thin layer of sweat. The nightmares had started a few days ago and it only seemed to be getting worse, but at least today she didn't wake up screaming. Usually right after she got up she was bombarded with a series of stomach cramps, a normal occurrence right after she fought off a wave of her sickness that seemed to come back every few months.

Sure enough when she threw her legs over the bed she clutched her stomach.

"Ow… This sucks… I'm all out of the medicine too…"

She got out of bed and stretched, thanking Kami that it was a Saturday and that she didn't have to go to school. She opened her door and walked into the kitchen to see if breakfast was there yet. It wasn't.

Usually this wouldn't be a concern but Naruto had made it a point to show her he still cared by making her favorite foods, usually with an inspirational note along with it. In the back of her mind she had this nagging suspicion that something was wrong, horribly wrong. She felt a shiver run up her spine and she got scared. She had only felt this way two times in her life, the first was when she was first taken to the hospital as a little girl, and the second time was right before she was in that terrible car accident with her parents and brother.

She took out her phone.

To: Namikaze Naruto

Where are you?

She hit send and sat in a chair in wait. It was several minutes before she got a reply, but she almost wished she never got a reply in the first place.

From: Namikaze Naruto

Hedjlp Mefghm

Hinata got up and ran to her brother's room, throwing open the door and letting out a scream. In front of her was Naruto, laying in a pool of bloody vomit on his futon. He was hyperventilating, his skin was a white as a sheet of paper, and his eyes were dulled.

Hinata ran to his side and tried to get him to sit up, tears flowing down her face when his skin was cold to the touch, but he just fell back down when she let go of him. She laid him on his side in case he had to vomit again while she covered him with his sheet to stop some of his shivering. She got out her phone and punched in 119 (The Japanese equivalent to 911, the emergency medical number).

She paced back and forth as the number dialed, and she tried to stifle her cries so she would be able to speak and be understood.

After what seemed like an eternity a woman on the other end picked up. "Hello, this is Shizune, what is your emergency?"

Hinata took a deep breath so she could talk between the sobs. "My name is Hinata and *sniff* my brother's sick *sniff* and he's lying on his bed *sniff* and he vomited blood *sniff* please send help!"

The woman was silent for a few seconds. "Ok, help is on their way, but I need you to stay on the line while they arrive. I need you to take a deep breath and keep talking to me, ok? Can you do that?"

Hinata did as Shizune told her to and said a quiet "Hai".

"Ok, now, I need to know if there were any symptoms before today. Any loss of appetite or sleep, or maybe a past medical history? Has he been sick lately or has he been around anyone who was sick?"

Hinata started sobbing again. "H… Hai… He hasn't been feeling well lately and I was sick not too long ago. He helped me through it and helped nurse me back to health."

Shizune sighed. "Hinata, I need you to calm down a little ok?"

Hinata shot a look at Naruto and took a few moments to calm herself. "Ok…"

The woman on the other end cleared her throat a bit. "Ok, now, I need to know what you had. Do you know what it was? If you know what it was then the doctors will have a place to start their testing and will be able to treat him faster. So, was it a cold or a flu, or was it bacterial?"

Hinata was able to respond through her sniffles. The name of her condition was seared into her memory since she was told every day that she was very lucky to have survived such a devastating illness.

"It… It's called the Kyubi no Yoko virus."

There was a silence on the other end of the line.

"Hello, are… are you still there? Please… please don't hang up…"

There was a low curse on the other end. "Sorry about that. I had to warn the paramedics. Now, are you SURE that is what it was? You have to be positive."

Hinata sat down by Naruto and stroked his hair as he began whimpering. "Hai… I've had it since I was a little girl. I was able to recover but I have small relapses every few months or so, but I have medication for it. I don't understand, I was told that my brother was immune! Why is this happening now!"

Shizune tried to calm the hysterical girl. "I don't know Hinata, but you have to calm down, for your brother. The paramedics should be there soon, and they will be able to tell you what you need to know. Stay on the line, but open the door when they get there, ok?"

Almost as if on cue the blare of sirens signaled the arrival of help. Hinata jumped up and ran to the door, throwing it open to see three men with face masks covering their noses and mouth with a stretcher.

"Hurry! He's this way! Please hurry!"

She led them to Naruto's room, and two of them went in. They checked his vitals and lifted him up to be put on the stretcher. As they were strapping him in one of them pulled Hinata aside.

"Are you the sister?"

Hinata was still watching the two men strap her brother down on the stretcher, but she was able to nod.

"Ok, now, do you have anyone you can stay with while we take him to the hospital? Perhaps a neighbor or-"

She turned her attention towards him. "NO! I want to go with him!"

The two men pulled the stretcher out of the room and signaled the third man to follow. He sighed and turned towards Hinata again.

"Look, I know you want to, but we just don't have enough room for you in the ambulance. I'm sorry, but you can't come with us."

He turned around and followed his colleagues out of the house not even letting Hinata respond. She followed them out yelling at them through her sobs and cries. The next thing she knew was that she was on her knees, watching as an ambulance drove away with her brother in the back. She didn't know how long she cried in that position, but she did know that it felt like forever.

Finally, a pair of arms helped her to her feet. She didn't fight it, and she let the person lead her to the house next door, and it was then she realized it was Sakura. Hinata looked up with her bloodshot eyes and saw a teary-eyed pink-haired girl smiling back down at her.

"Hinata, are you ok?"

Hinata nodded her head yes.

"Did you eat breakfast yet?"

Hinata shook her head no.

"Did that ambulance come for Naruto?"

Hinata again nodded her head yes.

Sakura opened the door to her house. "Ok. Here is what we are going to do. My mom is making breakfast. We are going to eat quickly, then we are going to drive to the hospital for Naruto, ok?"

Hinata weakly nodded her head in agreement.

"Hinata."

The girl looked up at Sakura.

"You need to be strong. Be strong for Naruto. He's going to pull through, I know he will, but he's going to need us to be there for him."

Hinata could only nod her head.

35 Minutes later and Sakura and Hinata ran into the hospital while Sakura's mother parked the car. Hinata ran up to the front desk and got the attention of the receptionist.

"Where is Namikaze Naruto!?"

The receptionist looked at her, then down to her clipboard.

"He is still being stabilized. I'm sorry, but you can't visit him yet. The doctors will come out when they finished with him and will take you back to see him. I'm going to have to ask you to sit in the waiting room while he is being helped."

Hinata was livid. This woman was trying to stop her from visiting her brother, but before she could argue Sakura put her hands on Hinata's shoulders and pulled her back.

"Come on Hinata, let's just wait. We can't do anything but get in the doctor's way. We just have to trust them."

Hinata let herself be ushered into the waiting room and sat in a chair. Never in her life did she feel so weak, so helpless, even when she herself was in the hospital she still had someone with her, mostly her brother. He had always been there, always been the one to stay with her at the hospital and fall asleep beside her bed, always been the one to comfort her when she had a nightmare, always been the one to help her when she was in trouble. And now that their positions were reversed, when he desperately needed someone there with him, she was stuck in the waiting room.

She felt tears rolling down her face, and she couldn't stop them even if she wanted to. She felt herself pulled onto Sakura's shoulder while she stroked her hair.

"Let it all out Hinata. Let it all out."

She didn't know how long she cried, but the last thing that ran through her mind before she fell asleep was how much she desperately wanted to see her brother once again.

Naruto was walking through the halls of his school building, but there was something different. He could feel people's stares on his back, and he could hear their muttering things.

"There goes the sicko."

"I can't believe he would do that."

"How could he ruin her life like that?"

Naruto ducked his head slightly and walked faster, trying to get out of earshot, but the crowd seemed to move with him, all the while talking behind his back.

"He's fucking gross."

"I bet he raped her."

"Why does he even come to school?"

He started running through the halls, and he found himself at the entrance to the school building. He bent over with his hands on his knees gasping for breath. When he looked up he saw all his friends, but they all had scowls on his face.

"Uh, hey guys… How's it going?"

Shion and Ayame walked up to him, and before Naruto could say a word they both slapped him across the face, hard. Then they walked off into the schoolhouse leaving Naruto, Lee, and Sakura standing there.

Lee walked up to him and punched him in the stomach, causing him to double over.

"I can't believe how fucking disgusting you are. All those times I talked about Hinata I was just joking, but I didn't think you were that desperate to get laid. You're a pathetic excuse for a man."

Lee spit on Naruto and then he too walked off towards the schoolhouse. Finally there was Sakura left, but she had tears in her eyes.

"I can't believe I actually liked you. I guess this is a good thing, because now I know you can't control yourself, so for all I knew you could have raped me in my sleep or something. Have a nice life."

Then she too walked away from him, leaving him on his knees holding back all the tears that were threatening to spill out. Suddenly, he felt the need to be home. He just knew that there was something very important waiting for him at his house, so he got up and began sprinting.

He must have been running very fast, because he made it back home in the span of a few minutes. When he gazed upon his home a sense of dread filled him. It was as if the very house was evil, and he wanted nothing else than to just run away and hide somewhere, but he felt compelled to walk into the house.

He slowly approached the door, and he opened it up, surprised to find it unlocked.

He stepped inside and looked around. "Hinata? You here?"

He walked through the house and couldn't find his sister, but for some reason he just knew she was here, somewhere. He then approached his bathroom, and ever so slowly he slid the door open. The sight before him left him on his knees.

He found Hinata draped over the toilet, a knife in her hands and her wrists slit. He didn't even need to check her; he knew from her lifeless eyes she was dead.

He crawled towards her with tears running down his face. "No…"

He reached a hand out towards her. "Oh Kami no… Please no…"

His hand cupped her face. It was cold. He grabbed her shoulders and sat her up, though she was limp in his arms. With quivering lips and tear-stained eyes he brought her close to him, and he held her. He held her close like he should have held her to stop her from leaving him.

This was it. She was the last person in his life he truly cared for. After his parents died he made an oath on their graves that he would do whatever it took to make Hinata happy, do whatever he needed to do to make sure she lived a full life. Never in all his life did he intend to break that promise, and for three long years he strove towards that end, but now it didn't matter, she was gone.

Then it hit him. It was him, he was the reason she was gone. He was the reason her blood now decorated the bathroom floor. He was the reason she would never be married, never have kids, and never grow old. He took her from the world, and that fact crushed him more than any whisper or insult.

He didn't want to go on, he couldn't, not now. He reached over Hinata and took the knife beside her, and brought it up to his own wrist. He kissed Hinata on the top of her head.

"I'm sorry Hinata… It's all my fault… I'm so sorry…"

Then he brought the knife down on his arm, intending to join his family in the next life.

Hinata and Sakura were standing outside Naruto's hospital room with two doctors. One was a shorter woman with two pigtails named Tsunade and the other was a taller pale man with beady eyes named Orochimaru. The duo was able to stabilize Naruto's condition earlier, and were now telling Hinata what the problem was.

"So Hinata, you said you had this virus since you were a little girl?"

Hinata nodded. "Hai, I've been in and out of hospitals for most of my life."

Tsunade frowned. "And was Naruto ever in the hospital?"

Hinata shook her head. "No, only when he was visiting me…"

Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other, and then looked back at Hinata. "Uh, Hinata? What do you know of this virus?"

Hinata looked between the two. "Not too much, just that it's really dangerous."

Tsunade sighed. "I know this is going to be hard to hear, but I think you need to be told the truth. The thing is, this virus isn't transmitted like normal viruses. You can't contract it through contact or by breathing in infected air. It can only be transmitted from a mother to a child, though when I looked at your mother's medical records she didn't seem to have the virus herself, so I'm assuming it was dormant. She passed it on to the two of you without ever knowing it, and then once you started showing signs of being sick she took you to the hospital for treatment."

She paused and let Orochimaru step in. "What she is trying to say, is that Naruto has had the same virus all his life, though it has only recently surfaced. This means one of two things. Either he was suffering the same symptoms all his life and has been covering it up, or there has been a recent decline in his health that allowed the virus to manifest itself."

Hinata gasped. She knew exactly why the virus surfaced now, and she knew she was the only one to blame for his current condition. She managed to squeeze out a few words before her emotions overtook her.

"Will… Will he be ok?"

Once again Tsunade and Orochimaru looked at each other. "We've done all we could. At the present he is stable, and we have administered several known medications known to combat the virus, but to be honest…"

Orochimaru put a hand on Tsunade's shoulder and picked up where she left off. "Right now, it comes down to whether or not Naruto wants to live. It can go either way at this point. Medically, he should recover if his body responds to the treatment, but at the same time the mind ultimately has control over the body, so if he gives up, then there is nothing we can do."

Sakura let Hinata cry into her clothes and she wrapped her arms around the distraught girl. Before she could say something a nurse burst out of the door they were standing in front of.

"Tsunade-sama, Orochimaru-sama! Come quick! Namikaze's vitals are dropping!"

Everyone's eyes widened and they ran into the room while the doctors tried doing whatever they could to stop Naruto from slipping into the calm embrace of death. Hinata just stood at the back of his room and looked at the unconscious form of her beloved brother.

There were tubes everywhere. Tubes in his thighs, tubes in his arms, and there was a tube coming out of the end of his hospital gown that she could only assume was a catheter. He was on a ventilator, basically a large tube going down his throat to stimulate his breathing. He just looked so weak, so frail, like the lightest touch would shatter him into a million pieces.

Hinata just watched in horror as the machines began to go off one by one, and judging the doctors reactions it wasn't a good thing. They were yelling orders left and right, changing dials and emptying syringes into the tube on his arm. Nothing they were doing seemed to be working, and every second that passed tore Hinata's heart into more and more pieces.

The next thing she knew was that she was next to Naruto's head, crying her heart out, screaming at him to come back. She yelled that she would never forgive him if he left her alone. She called him a liar and a terrible brother for putting her through so much pain. She told him that she couldn't live without him, that she didn't want to be in a world without him.

One by one the doctors began to give up. He wasn't responding to anything they were doing. His mind was already gone, it was just a matter of seconds before his body caught up. Hinata watched them look down at him in sadness, but she didn't want to let go, she couldn't.

She bent down to his ear to whisper. "Naruto… Please… Please don't leave me here alone… I… I love you… I love you so much. I don't care if no one accepts us… As long as you love me, I don't care what happens… So please… Please come back to me."

A single tear rolled down her cheek, and she buried her face in the crook of his neck so she didn't have to see his unresponsive face anymore. She felt hands on her shoulders, and she looked up to see Sakura with puffy red eyes and trembling slightly. Sakura didn't need to say anything, her eyes said enough. They were eyes that were pleading to leave, to let Naruto rest.

Hinata took one last look at her brother, and kissed him on the cheek, whispering one last thing in his ear. "I love you."

She got up and made her way over to Sakura, who let Hinata rest against her side as they made their way to the door. Orochimaru sighed and looked over to his colleague.

"Call it."

Tsunade nodded and looked at the clock. "Time of death, 3:27 P.M."

Orochimaru went to remove the sensors from Naruto's chest, but as soon as he reached for the one connected to the heart monitor.

Beep

Everyone froze and turned to look back at the blonde. Maybe Kami had heard their prayers?

Beep

Hinata ran over to Naruto's side and put her ear on his chest, listening for something, anything that signaled the return of her beloved.

Dub dub

Her eyes widened and tears filled her eyes.

Dub dub

Dub dub

She looked up at the doctors and she could tell from their expressions that this was nothing short of a miracle. She started shedding tears of happiness and threw her arms around Naruto's neck, letting out all the pent up emotions from the past week into his neck.

Naruto brought the knife down on his wrist, but just before it made contact a hand stopped him. He followed the hand back to its owner and found himself staring into the now very alive and furious eyes of Hinata.

"What do you think you're doing!?"

Naruto just looked at her and opened and closed his mouth several times before he just threw his arms around her and pulled her in tight.

"You're alive! Thank Kami you're alive! I'm so sorry Hinata, I'm so so so sorry! I… I just…"

He didn't finish his thought and just settled for burying his head in her neck and letting the flood of emotions out.

"I'm sorry Hinata, I never meant to hurt you! I just wanted you to be happy, no matter what!"

Hinata sighed and rubbed his back. "You baka, the only thing I need to be happy is you."

Naruto sniffed and pulled back. "I'm sorry I didn't realize that… I… I love you Hinata. I love you so much."

Hinata smiled and cupped his cheek. "I love you too."

They brought their faces closer and closer together until their lips met in a warm and loving kiss.

Naruto's eyes fluttered open slowly, and he found the light to be overbearing. Slowly he adjusted, and the first thing he saw was the face of his sister, tear-stained and swollen from large amounts of crying.

"Hey Hinata… How… How's it going?"

She just smiled and hugged him while the rest of the rest of the occupants just sat back and watched with smiles on their faces.

END

Hope you all enjoyed the emotional ride here. Please review and tell me what you think!

Peace
