Sandy Eyes: A TamariXHinata Story
The preliminary round of the Chuin Exam was hard on everyone. Tenten got beat in three moves, lee got put in the hospital, Kiba got beat in the worst way he could think off, Choji got beat in a similer way to Tenten and Ino and Sakura beat each other so neither won. The one who got the most embarrassing defect was Hinata Hyuga. Her cousin had tried to kill her and he nearly did.
Hinata woke up in the hospital with most her body from the neckline down covered in banages. It was night and Kiba was curled up on the floor, Akamaru was curled next to Hinata. The room was illuminated by moon light and it all looked peaceful. Kiba was sleeping on a bog bed he must have brought it.
The side table had a basket of Camillas. At first Hinata thought it was either Kiba or Naruto. Then because of the taste of flowers she thought it might have been Sakura or maybe Ino. She looked to see who it was from and the only tag there was just had a picture of a purple circle.
Hinata started to pet Akamaru thinking that this circle looked familiar. She wondered how long she'd been in this room. Third Hokaga had always wanted a better medical staff seeing as most medical ninja were often out on missions requiring there service. Sakura's theory was that this was to apiece one of his former students: The Slug Queen Tsunada.
Hinata laid back down in bed thinking of how the flowers could have been from Naruto but he was to shy to sign his name or that the tag was an out of village shop to get the flowers she loved the most. Kiba would tell her in the morning.
Tamari walked the streets of the leaf village in the pale moonlight alone. Her brothers had gone back to their village to prepare for their plan to be done during the chunin finals. She on the other hand chose to stay and get a better idea of how the village was laid out.
At least that what she told her brothers.
Her real reason was to see if the Hyuga girl was all right. Family shouldn't do that each other and what her cousin did to her was unforgivable. Gaara and Kankuro weren't perfect but that's what she had.
She could still see it, Byakugans on, gentile fist attacks flying… Hinata coughing up blood… Neji's smile… Hinata being carried out on a stretcher… her own anger as Neji walked away… and how it increased as Naruto was the one to swear vengeance for her…
Tamari walked to where she was staying. The Iunzuka clan was nice enough to let her stay there. She didn't know what made them think it was a good idea to take in a girl from another village. She thought it was to teach Kiba Iunzuka how to fight better.
She had her own key and walked in. they had a basement with a bed and bathroom. All she needed. She went in through the back, it was better then the front seeing as how it was just such a wonder to look at. Bog battle gear and co-op gear was lined against the house and the whole yard was a ring to fight in.
She could imagine two teams both one dog and one ninja, fighting each other in this arena. It was a sight she wanted to see. This bring up the question of what Kiba had to offer with Akamaru being so small compared to the other ninja dogs she's seen.
She got to her room and fell right in after stripping down in the bare essentials. Sleep soon took her into it's alluring grasp.
Hinata spent the rest of that night staring at the moon thinking or Naruto and her, how she wanted to dance on water in the moon light with him and him alone. As the sun rose she began thinking of waking up as sunlight hit her face and the first thing she'll see be his golden blond hair. And first thing he raises his hand and pulled her in for a soft, sweet kiss.
"Hinata?" Kiba said shooting up to see his friend. "Your awake!"
"What happened? the last thing I remember was…" Hinata stammered out upon realizing she was stuck in the hospital with most her body covered in wrappings.
"The Chunin Preliminaries. You fought Neji and he more or less tried to kill you," Kiba said worried. "On the bright side Naruto swore that he'll beat Neji for you."
"He did?" Hinata asked smiling. "He must have brought me these flowers."
"Actually…" Kiba pattered off.
"Is Naruto still in the village?" Hinata asked picking a flower from the basket and holding it to her chest. "Not really. He's being hanging around that Toad Guy. You know the one that wrote those books Kakashi is always reading. Last I knew he was hanging around the hot springs."
"Naruto was strong enough to beat you. He must be learning some new jutsu to beat Neji with," Hinata kissed the Camilla before laying back down on top of the basket. "How have you been?"
"That sand girl moved in with me"
"What?" Hinata said shocked.
"Yeah my mother rented a room out for her in the basement, now I have to see her smug face every morning. I was half wishing you would stay here so I could," Kiba smiling hoping his joke would work.
"Wow that's… weird…" Hinata said looking at the Camilla "Do you know when Naruto will come back?"
"Naruto? I haven't seen him in a while. Sorry," Kiba said as a nurse walked in to Hinata's room.
"Oh! Lady Hyuga, your awake," she said startled. "Please sit back, your father said you need your rest."
"Ok," Hinata laid back down and the nurse pulled Kiba to the side.
"Can I talk to you for a minuet?" she said pulling Kiba by the arm into the hallway.
"Uh yeah. What do you want?" Kiba said a little weirded out.
"Look I'm not one to judge but that girl who keeps coming back. I've been keeping an eye on her when shes here," the nurse said.
"What?" Kiba said blinking a few times.
"I see the way she looks at Lady Hyuga. It's the way a lover looks at someone they love," the Nurse said clenching her clipboard. "I know it's none of my business but I know how the Hyuga clan treats love between women. Can you get her to be smarter? I feel as if Neji Huyga is suspecting this."
"Who are you talking about?" Kiba said titling his head. "I'm the only one whose been here at night."
"You didn't notice?" the nurse said shocked. "She must be a valiant ninja."
"Wait then how did you see her while I was sleeping?" Kiba asking thinking that he must have sucked as ninja if some girl out did him.
"I was doing the night shift and I was walking by this room," the nurse said. "I took a peck in. there was a blond girl with short hair standing over her and stroking her hair. It was very loving…"
"Does Hinata know?" Kiba asked his face turning white.
"I don't think she does," the nurse said looking at Hinata's door "Please watch out for her."
"I will. Thanks for telling me," Kiba said walking into Hinata's room.
"What did she want Kiba?" Hinata asked looking out the window. "Nothing just upset I'm sleeping on the floor like a dog. Anyway I have to go the staff is getting sick of me. I'll be back during actual visiting hours."
"Thanks Kiba, you're a good friend," Hinata said petting Akamaru. "You're a good friend."
"I'm have dog, I'm loyal to anyone who will scratch me behind the ears for two seconds," Kiba walked to the doorframe. "Keep an eye on her Akamaru."
"Arf!" Akamaru replied.
"Good boy,"
