Chapter 7

Later that night Naruto was standing in front of a boiling kettle, full of curry.

"This is Hinata's favorite, but she isn't out here… She's been hounding me for weeks to make this and when I finally do she takes a nap?"

Naruto shook his head and turned off the heat. He walked out of the kitchen and came to a stop outside Hinata's door, knocking lightly.

"Hinata, you in there?" No response. "I'm coming in."

Naruto opened the door and heard what sounded like crying. Fearing the worst he threw the door open and rushed to Hinata's side.

"Hinata! Where does it hurt!? Do we need to go to the hospital!?"

Hinata looked over her shoulder with tears running down her face. When she saw who it was she latched onto his chest and began sobbing. After a few minutes of hysterics and soothing words she calmed down enough to explain why she was crying.

"I *sniff* had a dream… I was all alone. You had died in the crash with dad and mom and I was all alone… That wouldn't happen… would it?"

Naruto smiled and hugged the girl. "No way. I already told you, the two of us are family. Your stuck with me whether you like it or not!"

Hinata chuckled dryly. "Yeah… you're right… sorry Naru."

The two stayed that way for a few more seconds, both reluctant to leave the embrace. "If you've calmed down enough, let's go get some dinner. Its curry!"

"About time you made that…"

Naruto smiled, glad that his sister was back to normal.
