"Good morning, father," the shy 16-year-old girl said with a little bow as slipped on her brown sweatshirt.
"Hmph," grunted her father, not realizing the pain that his comment gave his daughter.
"I'm going out now, father," she said solemnly. The man looked down at his daughter's white eyes, they looked pleading.
"Have…fun," he said hesitantly, not sure how to respond. The girl walked out onto the sidewalk of Konoha after pulling her backpack on. She looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Oi! Hinata!" came the voice of her teammate, shadowed by a bark from his dog, Akamaru.
"G-Good morning, Kiba-kun. Shino-kun," Hinata said.
"Where are you going so early this morning?" asked a concerned Kiba. No reply. Kiba asked again.
"N-Nowhere, Kiba-kun," she said.
"What's with the pack? Where are you going?"
"I'm-I'm going to train alone, Kiba-kun," she said, slowly backing away.
"Shino and I will come with you, then."
"No." she said sternly, surprising her teammates.
"Hinata, are you ok?" said Shino. He was concerned at his friend's strange behavior.
"I'm-I'm fine. I'm going to train now, don't follow me," she said before running off. Shino and Kiba looked at each other, coming to the same conclusion. Follow her. They ran off towards her, she left the village and slipped into a thicket of trees. They pursuid her throught the dense forest. Finally they stopped at the edge of a clearing, Hinata was looking around, making sure she wasn't followed, but then she heard them. She pulled out a kunai.
"Who's there? Come out, now." Kiba walked into the clearing followed by Shino.
"What are you doing here?!" she yelled. Kiba and Shino walked forward slowly.
"Hinata, we were concerned, what's wrong?" said Kiba, his voice full of concern.
"Stop! Get away from me! Don't follow me!" She disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Kiba and Shino were beside themselves. How could they explain this? Where did she go? What's going to happen to her? Kiba finally broke the silence.
"She's…gone?"
"Come. Let's go back to the village." They walked back to the village without another word between them.
---------------------
It was brown and dark. She couldn't see anything. Hot winds and sand pushing her this way and that. She couldn't see anything through the sandstorm. She became dizzy, she heard footsteps coming across the sand. Coughing, she fell to the ground and all went black.
-----------------
It had been four months. There was no hope of seeing her again. Kiba sat in the field where Hinata had disappeared. Where can she be? he thought, She's been announced dead…her funeral is in a week…

Shino walked into the clearing. "Kiba. Hokage-sama wishes to see us."
"Why?"
"Hinata." That's all Shino said as he walked out of the clearing. Kiba's heart started to race. Hinata? Here? She's alive? "Hurry, let's go." Kiba and Shino jumped through the trees.
As they approached Hokage tower, Kiba found himself tripping over his feet. He was deep in thought thinking about Hinata returning. He was so deep in thought, he ran into a little boy running across the street. Kiba apologized and the boy ran off. When they went into the tower, they walked up to a lady at s desk, "We're here to see Tsunade-sama."
"Right this way," said the young woman. When they got to Tsunade-sama's office, she knocked on the door and yelled, "Hokage-sama. You have visitors." The door opened to reveal the Hokage, she looked terrible, like she hadn't slept for days.
"Come in, take a seat," she grunted. The lady walked away as Kiba and Shino took their seats. "As you well know, I have summoned you because of Hinata." They nodded. "She has been spotted in the Sunagakure ninja village."
