Summary: Sometimes someone's cruel joke may actually turn out to be a blessing. Hinata would've never thought that she would end up in Kakashi's care… especially under this circumstance.

A/N So this is a story that kinda popped into my head today and I just really wanted to write it. You'll noticed I'm not putting much intention into grammer/vocab but hey it's just for fun so no editing/hard thinking. So please forgive me if it burns your eyes to read. ): Just walk away.

Disclaimer: I by no means own any part Naruto, I'm just an adoring fan. ^_^ Don't get me wrong guys, I love canon pairings, but sometimes I like to let my mind wander.

Chapter 1

The old team eight quickly made their ways through the corridors of an enemy fortress with a series of missing nin hot on their trails. They had been ordered to retrieve a series of documents as well as rescuing a hostage, the mission was of A Rank and crucial to securing a no-hostility treaty with the Hidden Mist Village. Everything had been going considering well till the alarm had been triggered when they had been attempting to free the hostage.

"Shino, Hinata hurry up! There's not much time left till the meeting hour!" Kiba yelled, while handing Akamaru a small bag of important scrolls, which Akamaru then bit into and burrowed into Kiba's coat. His teammates nodded, hastening their paces, eventually loosing the trail of her pursuers. Suddenly there was a blast of smoke in front of them.

A tall man with shoulder length red hair appeared, "well well well, Konoha nin trying to ruin our plans? We can't have that can we?"

Kiba snarled, "Get out of the way man."

Shino, re-securing the rescued hostage on his back remarked, "Kiba…. This is bad, from the looks of him he's at least Jounin class and we don't have time to deal with this. The rendezvous time is in 2 hours, if we don't make it the treaty is forfeit." Hinata calmly stepped to the side.

"Kiba-kun, Shino-kun, go. I can hold him off." At this remark the red haired man laughed, "hahaha little girl trying to save the day?" Hinata bristled at the insult.

"Hinata! That's too dangerous!" Kiba argured. Shino agreed silently. Hinata thought this over quickly, she knew this was not the smartest decision. Although some of her abilities warranted jonin class, she was overall still just a chuunin, but there was no other option. She was the only one who would be able to hold him off long enough so that Kiba and Shino could get the documents and the hostage to the destination in time."

"Just go," Hinata nearly ordered. Kiba continued to argue, but Shino tapped his shoulder. As much as he didn't want Hinata to do this either, they had no choice at the moment.

Kiba bit his lip, "… Becareful, we'll see you later." The man watched this interaction all too calmly, letting them pass by. He looked at her again and licked his lips, "you know now that I get a better look at you, you're really quite stunning. I have no interest in those boys."

Hinata shivered, she had a bad feeling about this, besides the fact that he was really creepy. The man continued, "too be honest, this job isn't that important to me you all can have your little treaty. I just did this for fun. So let me give you a little peace of mind, after I deal with you I won't pursue your friends." He took a few steps closer to her. Hinata backed away … what was he saying? What was his angle? The man continued talking, "hmmm… Byakugan? A Hyuuga are you? … A pretty little Hyuuga Princess, I'll take that into consideration." Hinata was so confused, what was this crazy man talking about.

"Are you confused?" Hinata's eyes snapped at him, she was getting more nervous by the second, "let me explain this to you. We're going to play a little game. Don't give me that face it'll be really fun so I want you to cooperate."

Hinata, still puzzled moved further backwards considering escape routes.

"Now, now there's no point in doing that. Just answer my question." Hinata carefully spoke,"… What question?"

"What's your favorite color?"

Against her better judgement, Hinata reflected on this quickly and almost by reflex she answered, "silver."

The man smiled, "Dobutsu chikara henken no seigyo no jutsu!"

And before Hinata lost consciousness the world went black, but with a small sliver of silver, her favorite color.

Meanwhile: ELSEWHERE.

Kakashi slid upside down from a tree he was perched on, startling the enemy nin that stopped right in front of him, "caught you!" In one fluid motion, the ninja was on the ground with crimson liquid staining his clothes. "Mission complete."

A/N: If you're actually reading this, then thank you. I wonder if anybody knows what's going to happen... it's not that hard to guess. w
