Hinata walked alone through the abandoned streets of Konoha. It was late out and everyone had gone home to bed.

She found herself unable to sleep due to A certain blonde haired blue eyed ninja. A blush came to her cheeks whenever she thought about him. Even though she confessed her feelings to Naruto, he had yet to say anything to her about it. Would he reject her? Tell her that they could just be friends? Or would he love her back?

Hinata shook her head to clear those thoughts. She loved Naruto, she truly did. But he seemed in love with Sakura who still couldn't let Sasuke go.

"Maybe I should let go..." She muttered to herself. She sighed and slowly made her way back she arrived home, she changed in pajamas and climbed into bed where she eventually fell asleep.

The next morning she awoke to her little sister banging on her door telling her that someone was waiting for her outside. Hinata quickly got up, changed, brushed her hair and ran outside where none other than Naruto Uzumaki was waiting.

"N-Naruto," she stuttered upon seeing him. He gave her a grin.

"Hey Hinata. Tsunade told me to come get you and take you to her office for a mission," he said. Hinata nodded and she followed Naruto to the Hokage's office.

~At Hokage's office~

"Ah Hinata good you're here. Now I can explain in detail of your mission," she says as they arrived. Sakura and Kakashi was also in the room.

"Late last night a monk visited. He explained that a sword with strange power appeared in the courtyard of his temple. None of the other monks can get close to it. He explained that there was some type of barrier surrounding it.. I want the four of you to see what you can do about it. It's about a week and a half travel from here. Dismissed," After explaining the details she,reluctantly, went back to doing paperwork.

The team left the building where Kakashi stopped them. "Naruto, Sakura, Hinata. We will leave immediately. Go pack some clothes and meet at the front gate in half an hour." Everyone disappeared, off to the pack their clothes and other supplies.

~An hour and a half later~

Everyone waited at the front gates. Everyone, excluding Kakashi.

"Where is he!"Naruto growled pacing back and forth. Sakura was annoyed herself. She had her arms crossed and her foot was tapping the ground.

Hinata leaned against the gate and waited patiently for the silver haired ninja to arrive. From time to time she found herself watching Naruto pace.

"Hello everyone. Sorry im late. An old woman dropped her groceries-"

"Shut up!" Naruto and Sakura yelled.

"Anyway are we ready to leave?" he asked.

"We've been ready!" Sakura hissed.

"Alright then lets go," he ran through the gates and followed the path. Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata ran after him.

After a few hours, the group stopped near a village and decided to rest there for the night. Kakashi approached the woman at the counter in the hotel.

"Two rooms," he said setting down the money. The woman smiled and gave them a key.

"The hot springs is open for guests," she called as they walked away. Sakura took Hinata's hands, grabbed her key, rushed to her room, unlocked the door, threw her and Hinata's things on the bed, grabbed towels, then rushed down to the hot springs.

"Sakura's really excited about the hot springs," Kakashi muttered.

"Poor Hinata…" Naruto said as he watched Sakura drag the poor girl around.

"S-Sakura please slow down!" Hinata protested as she was pulled into the bath house. Sakura ignored her and stripped. Hinata rubbed her now sore wrist and also stripped down and stepped into the hot spring along with Sakura.

"Aaah," Sakura let out a blissful sigh and leaned against the edge. Hinata closed her eyes and relaxed as well.

"I wonder how a regular sword could be so strong…" Sakura said, breaking the silence between the two.

"Me too," Hinata replied.

~Later that evening~

Hinata and Sakura walked back to their rooms feeling refreshed. Sakura glanced over at Hinata.

"I had no idea you were in love with Naruto…" she thought as she stared at her.

"Is something wrong Sakura?" she asked. Sakura hadn't realized she had been staring and quickly looked away.

"It's nothing," she replied.

Hinata nodded and opened the door to their room. She settled in her bed, which was beside the window outlooking the small village. Sakura also got into her bed as well.

"Hinata, i'm going to go to bed…" when she nodded, Sakura turned the lights out and quickly fell asleep. Hinata laid down as well. Before long she felt sleep take over.

"Good night Sakura," she muttered. She swore she heard Sakura say the same thing.

The group had no idea what troubles would await them. Hinata had no idea that her destiny was about to change…

A/n: So I deleted this story because I rewrote it. It had a completely different plot line compared to the other one. However I did keep SOME things the same.

But Enjoy. The first two chapters are a little….slow. But give it a chance!
