Acollection of unconncted (unless said otherwise) stories, all of which are based around Cell 8 in any type of relationship. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated (feel free to nitpick me line by line, whether it be in my favor or against), and flames are welcome (once you've flamed, though, I am opt to go and nitpick it on my livejournal where all my friends and myself willhave a good laugh. Dont say I didnt tell you when this happens).

Titled Hodgepodge because I said so (approach if you dont know the meaning). Plus, the word amuses me.

Her eyes could see everything, from what was happening in the room over down to the grains of sand when she stood on the beach. Children at the academy sticking their tongues out behind her back when she'd volunteered that one day was not a secret to her, though she didnt think enough of it to say anything. Everything that happened was vulnerable to her view, though that didnt mean she always thought it a blessing, like that one time she accidentally got a glimpse of Kiba changing in the next room, or Shino in the bath house.

That one time shed caught the both of them, especially. She watched Kiba let his forehead fall to rest on Shino's shoulder as he pushed further into the boy below him, and she promptly fainted, missing the rest of the show.

She was a girl made to see, not observe. She could find anything underneath the skin, but that didnt show her emotions or attatchments. That wasnt to say she was an emotionally retarded girl; she was ignorant, at most.

Ignorance is bliss, though knowledge is much more interesting.

Curiousity, she found, brought knowledge, and could of probably killed her, had she been a cat--or had she fallen from a high perch when fainting, but thats a mostly unrelated subject.

She paid attention, now, to the small marks Shino tried to hide with his collar, and the ones Kiba never bothered to cover. Her smiles became more coy and knowing as she observed, and learned, rather than being the girl that just sat back and watched.

Shino complimented her, because observation helped her on the feild, and he'd noticed the improvement. It irked him, however, that she playfully refused to say how she improved. Kiba just grinned and Shino glowered more, wondering if they were keeping him out of a secret. Hinata wondered if Kiba knew her discoveries.

She secretly paid more attention to the dog boy now, curious, and found it interesting how much he was staring at her when he thought she wasnt looking. Just to check, one day, she dropped Kiba's case and watched Shino, only to find that his eyes were on her as often as Kiba's were.

She'd blushed furiously when she saw them the next few days, finally understanding what it was she couldnt see.
