Prologue
"Hinata…Hinata! Hinata wake up! Please wake up!" Kiba yelled shaking Hinata.
"K-Kiba …I…I…" Hinata used her last strength to talk, trying to say three simple words. Hinata's arms tried to reach Kiba's face but couldn't.
Her cold body, laid there in Kiba's warm arms.
"Hinata…HINATA!!!" Kiba yelled, tears falling down his cheeks, with the sky crying with him too.
Kurenai shedding tears with the loss of one of her team member. And Shino, his back facing Hinata, hid his feelings from the others.
"Goodbye…Hinata…" Kiba whispered and kissed her on her forehead.
Chapter 1
'Today seems like a nice day.' I thought looking out the window.
As I stepped outside I was surprised to see Kiba and Shino waiting for me.
"H-Hey Hinata, Kurenai told us that we have to meet her at the training ground, so we thought we come here and tell you ourselves." Kiba explain.
"Thanks. I wonder what she wants us for." I said.
"Yeah, same here." Kiba replied
"Hey Shino, are you okay? You never said a word since I came outside." I asked him, very curious.
"Huh? Oh. Sorry. I was just thinking about something." He replied in a quiet tone.
"What is it? Are you thinking about a special someone, huh?" Kiba smirked.
Shino blushed.
"Ahahaha! I was right! BARK! BARK!!" Kiba laughed as well as Akamaru.
I couldn't help but laugh and smile. I knew today would be a nice day.
'I have to break the news to them. The mission they are assigned to…is…' Kurenai thought but was interrupted by Kiba's laughter.
"Hey Kurenai-sensei!" Kiba yelled.
"Hello Kurenai-sensei" Hinata softly said.
'Shino won't say anything…knowing its Shino' "Hey guys! How was your morning?"
"It was okay, the usual. So, why you called us over here?" Kiba asked.
"You have been assigned a mission from the 5th Hokage"
"And…"
'This is the reason why he annoys me…' "Well…this mission is…an A-Rank mission."
They were all speechless. An awkward silence grew. Each shocked until…
"Phffff. Don't worry we'll be able to complete this mission!" Kiba yelled. "BARK! BARK!"
'Kiba…reminds me of Naruto…' Hinata said smiling and blushing at Kiba.
"You guys have a week to train and get ready" 'I just hope…they all return safely.'
'Hinata…are you watching me? I swear on my life…I'll protect you on this mission' I know that this mission is an A-Rank, but I got to make sure to complete this mission without anyone getting badly injured.
FLASHBACK
"Kurenai-sensei, how come we were assigned the A-Rank mission? I mean we are only Chuunin." Hinata asked.
"It's either because we are the only ninjas that has not been assigned missions or there is no one else"
"I see…" Shino said.
END OF FLASHBACK
I noticed that Hinata had a worried face, so this is why I'll protect her no matter what.
Day 1
'Six days until the mission…' Hinata thought as she practiced her byakugan.
'Hinata sure looks worried…' Kiba thought worried too.
"Hey Hinata, you mind if I train with you?"
"No not at all"
They both smiled and turned the other way blushing.
Day 5
"Hey Shino, learn any new techniques that I should be aware of?" Kiba asked.
"Yes…"
-awkward silence-
"Well are you going to tell me?"
"Maybe…"
"Yes?"
"No…"
"No?"
"No…"
"Well what is it?"
"Maybe…"
"Grrr…"
"Yes…"
"Yes?"
"No…"
"Agh!!!"
