Prologue

Before I was Lost

"Kiba!" I shouted as my teammate fell to the hard packed snow floor in a bloody heap. Before Shino could grab me back, I was by his side. Akamaru was there to, weakly with his broken leg, sniffing at his fallen master. Kiba's black shirt had been sliced open and blood ran dawn at a sickening pace down his taunt stomach. His eyes closed.

"K-Kiba." I stuttered. I so rarely stuttered now, not around my closest friends. Only around Naruto, or only when I was scared or shocked, surprised. "W-wake up Kiba." I patted his cheek, his warm cheek. He wasn't dead. He wasn't! But I was unfocused. I had taken a hit to the head which made me a little off kilter.

Shino buzzed a little beside me as he grabbed my arm. He pushed something into my hands. "Hide this Hinata. Okay?" He pushed something into my hands. Papers, documents, it was a scroll. A scroll about Orochimaru and Sasuke. Something important. Dangerous information that they needed.

"I can't leave you two!" I tried to make my naturally quiet voice loud and stern. But I couldn't stop looking at Kiba's blood on my hands.

"You can, go Hinata, we'll hold them off. You must hide it." Even though Shino's eyes were behind dark buggy glasses, I could almost feel his intense gaze. I took a deep breath and nodded my head. I wouldn't abandon the mission, but I wouldn't leave them. I sighed inwardly, this wasn't supposed to be a B ranked, or was this more A ranked? It was supposed to be a simple C ranked, all we were to do was escort a merchant. Turns out our "merchant" liked the black market a little too much.

"I'll be back for you guys." I shot him a determined gaze and Shino let slip the smallest shadow of a smile.

"And we'll live for that. I'm sure I can wake Kiba up to."

I nodded one last time and rushed off. Jumping through trees at dangerous speeds, but I had to get far away. Fast. Faster I had to go. Pumping so much chakra through my legs it began to burn. But I had to hide this. It was crucial.

I heard something from behind me, sounded like Akamaru crying out in pain. I bit my lip so hard it bled, holding back tears.

"Please, be okay, be okay." I prayed silently to myself. I can't let them die. I had to hurry. I shivered in my shirt. I lost my jacket for the snow country a while ago. And the sharp winds were getting to me.

I stopped for a second to look at my surrounding. A frozen waterfall. The pale white ice and snow blended together making it almost seem like the white sky, you could almost walk into the waterfall never knowing an impenetrable wall was there. Except for the tattletale shadows and crack where water froze so quickly, it was frightening. The cold swallowing up the once lively river waiting for spring to set it free.

"Byakugan." I whispered. There, right behind the waterfall, unnoticeable unless you were looking, was a small hold, big enough for me to fit through. Behind that think wall of frozen water was a cave. I walked inside, squeezing through the hidden crack between ice and wall, ignoring the brush of Ice against my bare hands.

Walking behind the ice was different from walking in front of it. The ice smoothed out so that the sun shining through made a rainbow effect along the inner cave walls. Inside the cave was a little stuffy, but dry, safe. And with my trained eyes I saw a smaller hidden hole again. Playing hide and seek behind a stalagmite. Bending down I placed the scroll inside, covering it up with some smaller rocks carful to make it look natural before I rushed out of the cave.

Looking left and right making sure no one saw me, no one heard me. No one but me knew where it was hidden. All that was left was to get back to Kiba, Akamaru and Shino.

My closest friends, a family away from family. I had to make sure they were alive! Now I did cry. I let the tears fall and freeze slowly on my face like crystals. If they were dead, what was I to say to their families? To Kurenai sensei? What was I to do living without them, Kiba always warm, a little out there but outgoing and confident, holding himself in a brave wild like manner and Akamaru his faithful companion and a good friend to me. Shino, he was quiet, but kind, in his own ways. But he cared all the same for each of us.

Then I saw him in front of me. I let my byakugan down and cried out shocked. Someone had tied Kiba up on a tree, handing by his legs. Clearly dead. Pale white from the snow, which had its own weird way to claim a dead body. Already snowflakes filter on his eyelashes and his hair was powdery white.

"K-Kiba!" I moaned out. I jumped over in panic to try and cut my friend out. He didn't deserve this. Those pale cheeks dead, which were usually tan with days out in the sun and vibrant with life. Dead.

Then I glanced up. Something suddenly off that in my panic, I failed to realize. Something so stupid, I should have noticed it firsthand. The wound, the wound on his chest… before I could finish the thought a sharp pain resounded through head, sending a spark of stars into my vision. And a cold black dark that overpowered my wide alert eyes.

The wound was gone.

Yeah, it's short, but for a reason. Lol. It is a prelude after all XD

I'm thinking of changing the title of the story. Maybe… I don't know 0.0
