I don't own Naruto! Though I wish I did… (Okay, this is my first fic, so be nice, and enjoy!)

Chapter 1

Hinata sat at her desk, and finished her letter with, "Your ever loving comrade, Hinata Hyuuga." She then knelt by her bed, and pulled out a box, and deposited the letter inside where it lay among the many other unposted notes just like it. She lay down on her bed, and stared dreamily into the ceiling, thinking of none other then her belove-

"Hinata! There you are!" called Naruto from the roof of the Hyuuga mansion. He saw her, and jumped onto the edge of her windowsill, looking in.

"Tsunade-sama wants you, me, Sakura, Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, and Chouji to come." Naruto paused, and leaned closer to Hinata peering at her.

"Hinata? You alright?" he asked.

"Naruto-kun, so close to me", Hinata murmured. Then, the room started spinning, and Naruto's voice got fainter and fainter.

"Hinata, are you okay? Your face is really red. Do you feel alright? Huh?" Naruto said, oblivious as usual.

"Naruto-kun, so close..." Suddenly, the room got dark, and Hinata collapsed.

Naruto jumped forward, and caught her, laying her gently on the ground before going to round up the others. .Hinata stirred on the ground, and sat up, confused. Then, she remembered and blushed. She had embarrassed herself in front of Naruto again. She lay back down, and in her head replayed the perfect scene between her and Naruto. A sudden sound jolted her from her day dream, and she sat up, startled. Turning around, she was surprised to see the rest of her team at the window.

"Come on Hinata, we'll be late!" called Kiba, and he bounded off, with Akamaru dancing at his heels. Shino followed, but not before gesturing in his usual impassive way to Hinata to come quickly. Hinata picked herself of the floor, and followed.

When she got to Tsunade's office, everyone else was already there. Hinata approached the group, and stood on the opposite end of the row from Naruto, hiding her face in embarrassment from her earlier incident.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I'm going to explain your mission. There have been some suspicious actions at the border between the sand village, and a temporary sound ninja base. Recently, the sand has had guards near the camp, and has found that a few sound ninja have recently had a meeting in the largest tent. The Sand has asked for back-up if they need it, and I have decided to send the seven of you since you have worked well together in the past with your individual skills. You must be ready at the main gate in one hour where I will give you a few things for your mission. You are dismissed." Tsunade swiveled her chair around, and looked out the window, a clear sign to get out fast. The six chunin, and one genin, then went to their separate houses to pack.

Naruto went strait home, and packed three bowls of the instant ramen he had been saving. Hinata packed some of the Hyuuga clan's secret ointment, and Sakura packed some medical herbs in case she would need them. In an hour, they were all at the main gate, and checking their weapons. Tsunade arrived soon after, carrying a map, and a small box.

"I'm going to give Shikamaru the map, as he will be the mission leader," she said, sending a glare in Naruto's direction as though she were daring him to say anything. Then she opened the box to show all of them the seven small packages inside. Shikamaru, as the leader, you will insert a small amount of your chakra into each tablet, and then each of you will attach one behind your ears. If anything happens, put a small burst of chakra into the devices, and Shikamaru will be able to track you, and give you back-up. Now go, and good luck." Tsunade finished.

"Yes! We're going on a mission, going on a mission!" Naruto chanted. Suddenly Tsunade turned around, and commented," And make sure that your quiet near the border. At this point, we don't know who or what is waiting for you out there." Then, after sending a meaningful glance at Naruto, she turned around, and walked quickly back towards the village.

(Sorry if the first chaptr is kinda short! please review and tell me how it is!)
