Mizu: I'm on a roll! So many stories uploaded so close together! Plus, I'm starting to get ideas for every story now! This is awesome! disclaimer time: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Sasuke would probably be dead already.


Their Impossible Mission

Chapter One: Love Bites


"Thanks again, Hinata," Naruto thanked the shy woman.

"You sure that you have everything you need?" she asked for the nth time.

"Hinata, I know that the fifth Hokage put you in charge of my health care when I'm injured, but don't you think that this is going a bit too far?" Naruto asked.

His teammates where trying to control their laughter. True, while training, Naruto got hurt but…he scratched his arm on a kunai and she put it in a splint.

"…no," She finally answered.

"Right," he sighed, "I'll be fine, Hinata. I'm sure that your squad is awaiting your return."

"Yeah, you're probably right. Bye Naruto!" she said, finally leaving.

"Finally!" Naruto exclaimed, "Sakura, if you would?"

"Sure," Sakura laughed.

"You know why she does this, Naruto, right?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah. I have to admit though, she looks extremely cute when she gets worried," Naruto stated.

"How long has it been?" Sakura asked, "Four years? Five?"

"Four." Naruto stated, "And you know what, I don't even remember why Grandma Tsunade told Hinata to take care of me."

"You may not, but I do," Sasuke stated, "That was when you returned with me in tow. You had used so much chakra and was near death. But you still hadn't given up and saved me from Orochimaru. Unfortunately, you damaged you chakra system. So you needed someone with the ability to see the problem area. Hinata fit the bill."

"And boy did she jump at the chance to be near you," Sakura laughed.

"Yeah, but I'm fully healed! This is getting a little annoying," Naruto moaned.

"You say that but you don't mean it," Sasuke laughed.

"We see how your face lights up when you see her running towards you," Sakura pointed out, putting ointment on the scratch.

"So?" Naruto snapped.

"So why don't you ask her out?" Sasuke probed.

"No way! You know that I've decided to stay out of relationships," Naruto snapped.

"Yeah, we know that but," Sakura started.

"But we don't know why. You really like her so why not?" Sasuke pressed.

"I'll give you one good reason. Her father," Naruto stated, standing up.

"Oh, please. Everyone in the village knows that you could become Hokage with a flick of your pinky," Sasuke stated.

"Hiashi doesn't stand up to you," Sakura added.

"Grrr…" Naruto growled, "I'm going to get some lunch."

"I wouldn't do that!" Sakura stated.

"What if Kakashi finally gets here?" Sasuke asked.

"Tell him that I'll be back. It's about time that he has to stay and wait," Naruto said, leaving.

After about four minutes, the two were fed up with waiting for their sensei as well.

"Sasuke, you know what we should do?" Sakura questioned.

"What? Go find Kakashi and dunk him in the hot spring water?" Sasuke joked.

"Tempting but no. We should get Naruto and Hinata together," Sakura said.

Out of no where, a giant Akamaru and its rider jumped out of the bushes followed by the ever creepily silent Shino.

"Get Hinata and Naruto together?" Kiba asked.

"Yeah," Sakura said, putting away her kunai.

"We'll help," Shino said.

"You will?" Sasuke questioned.

"Hinata has gradually become more confident because of Naruto," Shino stated.

"So we figure that if she gets with Naruto, she'll be ten times happier and in turn," Kiba paused, "She'll be more confident in her abilities."

"First, we need to get them at the same place and time. But how are we going to get him to ask her out," Sakura thought aloud, "It be nice if Hinata was confident enough to actually confront him with a…proposition."

Shino and Kiba looked at each other.

"Well, there is a way," Kiba stated.

"What?" Sasuke questioned.

"We've only seen this one time. But once when we were on a mission, some creep put alcohol in her drink," Kiba said.

"Hinata gets drunk easily. And when she does…" Shino added.

The boys shivered in the memory, "Let's just say that it might work."

"Then what are we waiting for! You guys take Hinata to the ramen shop and I'll get the sake from Lady Tsunade. Sasuke, you make sure that Naruto doesn't leave that shop!" Sakura ordered.

"Right!" the boys agreed.

"WOOF!"


"I don't see how me staying in this shop will solve my problem with Hinata," Naruto scoffed.

"Trust me. Would I ever lead you astray?" Sasuke said, ordering Naruto another bowl.

"Yes, when it would benefit you," Naruto stated.

"But I'm not!" Sasuke protested.

"Whatever," Naruto sighed.

"There he is, Hinata," Sakura's voice sounded.

Naruto sighed at the mention of Hinata's name. He was probably going to get scolded for taking off his splint.

"Hinata, look I'm sorry, but I couldn'-" Naruto started.

But he didn't get a chance to finish. For there stood Hinata, drunker than a doornail (is that how that motto goes?).

"Naru-*hic*-to," Hinata said before starting to sway forward.

Naruto quickly caught her.

"What the hey happened?" Naruto snapped.

"Sorry, I accidentally spilled some of Lady Tsunade's sake into her tea," Sakura lied.

"Some?" Naruto snapped, "She's wasted! And why'd you bring her to me?"

"She wanted to see ya," Kiba smirked.

"Naruto," Hinata's soft whisper floated to his ears.

He looked down to she her bringing her lips dangerously close to his.

"H-Hinata!" Naruto gasped, blushing, trying to pull his head away.

"No…" she whined.

She grabbed his head and held him still while she tried to close the gap between their mouths.

"Guys! Guys, help me!" Naruto begged.

"Sorry dude, but I'm not going to stand in between Hinata and what she wants," Kiba stated.

"Me neither," the other three agreed.

"Trai-" Naruto tried to shout.

But Hinata finally closed the gap. Naruto tried to fight it but, as they knew would, he surrendered. Then…something they didn't expect happened. Naruto fought for dominance. They watched as his fox whiskers grew bolder. Of course, Kiba and Shino didn't know what that meant but Sakura and Sasuke did.

"Naruto!" they snapped.

His eyes shot open, revealing the blood red fox eyes. He seemed to fight with himself for a moment before he broke the kiss. Hinata, drunk and dizzy from the kiss, started to fall backwards. Kiba and Shino ran to her side and caught her. But then, they saw what Naruto had done. They saw the many puncture marks on her lip as they bled. The two looked up at Naruto, glaring at the blonde shinobi.

Naruto raised a shaky hand to his mouth where he tasted blood that was not his own. He looked at Hinata confused and scared of what he had done. His eyes widened. He turned to see his teammates staring at him worried. His body began to shake in sorrow.

"Sasuke…Sakura…What have I done?" Naruto questioned, trying to figure out everything.

"What the hey are you!" Kiba snapped.

Naruto finally realized what had happened and had ran off towards the training field. Kiba was about to chase after him but Sakura stopped him.

"Don't blame Naruto! It wasn't his fault," Sakura begged.

"What do you mean?" Kiba snapped.

"Of course it's his fault!" Shino added.

"No!" Sasuke snapped, "Naruto never asked her out for a reason. And we just saw what that reason was."

The two boys took the time to take all this in.

"Besides," Sasuke paused, "He could have done a lot worse to her."

"He was struggling for control," Sakura added.

"Come on," Sasuke sighed, "We have to go after him. Sakura and I will send up a flare to tell you where he is. Bring Hinata there when she is somewhat sober."

"Right…" the boys agreed.
