I sighed as I felt the wind continue to blow past my face.
"Kurenai sensei, she's late," I said as I looked at my sensei.
"I know that Kiba," Kurenai said as she looked around.
"Where could she be? She's never late," I sighed as I sat next to Akamaru, my little white dog.
"She'll be here," Kurenai said as she looks around again. I noticed Shino who was looking at even more bugs. Wouldn't it be enough letting bugs be inside your body?
"Are you sure Kurenai sensei? She's never late," I sighed as Akamaru whimpered.
"It's been an hour and she is always the first," Shino said looking up from the bug that was crawling across his fingers, "there must be something wrong…"
"Ok fine. Let's go look for her," Kurenai sighed as she started to move away. I jumped to my feet.
"You remember what she smells like, don't you Akamaru?" I asked. Akamaru barked in approval. "Okay let's go," I said as I began to run towards the main part of Konoha, with Akamaru in front of me…
Hinata POVI ran through the streets in Konoha at a monstrous speed. I held my upper right arm as I ran past a corner, almost knocking over a stall. I heard arguing as I began to focus chakra on my feet, to add extra speed that most people would find unnessesary.
"If you could take less care of your hair then maybe we would be on a mission right now instead of retrieving ramen for Tsunade-sama," Sakura snapped.
"If you didn't make me cut my hair in the preliminaries then I wouldn't have to," Ino shouted.
"That was almost 3 years ago and I didn't make you do anything!" Sakura taunted, "Ino pig!" Sakura noticed me running and raised her hand waving. "Hey Hinata!" Sakura said as I drew closer.
"Good morning Sakura-chan, Good morning Ino-chan," I said quickly as I continued to run, drawing closer and closer to the ramen shop. I noticed a blonde boy and a white haired man leave the store as I continued to run.
"Thankyou for the ramen!" Naruto said as he waved to the shopkeeper. Beside Naruto was Jaraiya-sama. I tried to run past Naruto but all I managed to do was crash our shoulders together, which didn't help the overwhelming pain in my arm already. My face turned bright red in embarrassment instead of shyness but I continued to run. Determination keeping me from falling on my feet and passing out at the fact I had even touched Naruto. It was the first time since he left with Jaraiya-sama that I had seen him at all.
"Sorry Naruto-kun!" I said raising my hand to say goodbye as I sped off again.
"She's in a rush isn't she?" Jaraiya said.
"Yeah," Naruto muttered as he turned away. I quickly turned a corner, tripping over a small white thing and landing into a familiar's boy's arms, my head landing on his chest.
"What's the rush?" Kiba asked as I quickly got myself together and stood up straight.
"Sorry Kiba-kun," I said brushing off my jacket. I grabbed my arm again as I felt the pain rush back into my arms.
"Where were you? We've been waiting for over an hour," Kiba said.
"I-I-I… I was… err… sleeping… kind of," I stuttered in a hushed tone. I lowered my head as I felt the pain grow stronger. A single tear rolled off my cheek and embedded it self in the ground.
"What happened to your arm?" Kiba asked as he noticed blood seeping through my fingers.
"Uhh… I-I-I… nothing," I continued to stutter.
"Nothing doesn't explain blood," Kiba said.
"Arff arff!" Akamaru barked. Kiba nodded.
"We better find Kurenai sensei. After I take a look at your arm," Kiba said, "I am sure I have some spare bandages at home…"
"Lord Hiashi," Kurenai said as she walked into Hinata's home, "sorry for the intrusion…" Kurenai bowed. Hiashi looked at Kurenai.
"What is it Kurenai?" Hiashi asked.
"Have you seen Hinata this morning?" Kurenai asked.
"Lord Hiashi! We have no word on Lady Hinata," Neji said as he rushed into the room.
"Hinata is injured?" Kurenai asked, suddenly worried about her pupil.
"Hinata went missing yesterday," Neji explained.
"Missing? Why would Hinata run away?" Kurenai asked. Neji lowered his head.
"She wouldn't. As far as I knew, everything was alright here and I thought she was on a mission until I had to deliver a message to Tsunade-sama yesterday," Hiashi said.
"My students are also looking for her. I am sure between the Hyuuga clan and my students, we will find Hinata," Kurenai said. Hiashi looked at Kurenai.
"If you find Hinata, send her home," Hiashi said. Kurenai nodded and bowed. She opened the door and hurried outside noticing Shino walking past.
"Shino, have you seen Kiba?" Kurenai asked. Shino turned to look at his sensei.
"Why? Where's Hinata?" Shino asked.
"Hinata went missing yesterday," Kurenai explained. Shino thought for a moment.
"I think Kiba is in the streets around the ramen shop," Shino said finally. Kurenai nodded as she began to run towards the ramen shop. She noticed Sakura and Ino arguing like usual.
"Have you seen any of my students?" Kurenai asked.
"I haven't seen Kiba but Shino is over near the Hyuuga compound and Hinata was heading towards Kiba's but not directly there unless she has figured out a short cut," Sakura said.
"I think I saw Kiba but I don't know where he went," Ino said.
"Thankyou," Kurenai said as she bolted towards Kiba's.
"Just a little bit more," I said, "Kiba-kun, that hurts…"
"I'm almost done," Kiba said.
"A-ruff ruff," Akamaru barked. Kiba looked at the little white dog that was barking at the door.
"There, finished," Kiba said as he stood up.
"Thankyou Kiba-kun," I said as I pulled my jacket back over my right arm.
"Lady Hinata! Lady Hinata! Is that you in there?" Neji's voice said from outside. Hinata quickly stood.
"Lady Hinata," Kiba questioned, giving a confused look, "I remember. Your father is Lord Hiashi…" I nodded as she walked towards the door. I opened it to see Neji's relieved face.
"So you were here all night," Neji said.
"What? No," I said quickly.
"Stop fucking with your boyfriend. Lord Hiashi has the whole of the Hyuuga clan out looking for you," Neji said.
"Boyfriend?" Kiba asked as Neji pushed the door open, "Who do you think I am?"
"Inuzuka Kiba," Neji said, "Lady Hinata let's go before your father gets the whole of Konoha looking for you. He already has Kurenai and Shino…"
"Why has father got the whole clan looking for me?" I asked.
"Because you didn't come home yesterday. You better have a better explanation than I was fucking my boyfriend because I doubt he'll be too happy about that," Neji said.
"Kiba-kun…" I stuttered.
"I am not her boyfriend," Kiba said.
"Okay then Lady Hinata, why were you here then?" Neji asked.
"I wasn't here last night. I only came here with Kiba because Kiba was going to help me put bandages on my arm," I stuttered. Neji noticed the blood stain on my jacket.
"I see. Now, Lady Hinata, if you weren't here then where were you?" Neji asked.
"I-I-I…" I stuttered.
"Don't worry about it. Let's hurry back to the Hyuuga compound," Neji said. I nodded as we quickly ran.
"Hey, wait for me!" Kiba called as he caught up with Akamaru in his jacket.
