Sweet memories.

This is the first time I've written anything like this so it's probably no good. But I hope everyone likes it all the same!

Also the writing in italics are thoughts and you'll see that some of the characters in this story (but i don't think in this chapter) are slightly different.

I DON'T OWN THESE CHARACTERS THAT HONOR GOES TO MASASHI KISHIMOTO! :)

Chapter one.

"Be on guard everyone. The enemy is skilled and will be difficult to beat."

"Right!" Everyone in Hinata's team was on high alert. They had been sent on a reconnaissance mission in the land of snow were it was believed that Orochimaru had been performing experiments. Hinata, although not the most physically capable person there, possessed a kekkei genkai known as the byakugan. An ocular jutsu that allowed the user to see and affect the opponent's chakra system. It also acted as a built in pair of binoculars. Her team mates, Kiba and Shino, also had unusual talents. Shino could control a huge swarm of parasitic insects that lived inside his body. Whilst Kiba, along with his faithful ninja hound Akamaru, was the best scent tracker in the village. The leader of the team was a beautiful kunoichi name Kurenai, to Hinata the only thing that rivalled her beauty was her skills as a genjutsu user.

"Shino, are they done yet?" Kurenai was referring to the thousands of insects that were searching the inside of a building. The same building where Orochimaru was meant to be keeping his experiments.

"Almost, the insects should return soon."

"I wish they would hurry up. I'm itching for some action!" As usual Kiba just wanted to beat the enemy into a bloody pulp.

"Kiba were here to gather information on Orochimaru and his experiments. You should be more patient." But it was clear to Hinata that Shino was also hoping to fight. I should say something to keep them calm. Hinata thought.

"Erm. Kiba-kun I'll train with you when we get back to the village if you want." Kiba turned to see her smiling at him. He couldn't help but stare at her eyes, they were a pale, almost white, shade of lilac and the pupils could not be seen. To most people her eyes were uncomfortable to look at or even frightening. But not to Kiba. To him her eyes were beautiful, the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. He grinned at her which showed of his unusually long canines.

"Thanks Hinata! I'll hold ya to that!" Hinata smiled again and was about to ask Shino if he would like to train as well when the heard a small buzzing that indicated the return of his insects. After a brief moment of talking to his insects Shino turned to face his team mates. Even with the collar of his jacket covering most of his face and his sunglasses hiding his eyes, everyone on the team could see the look of confusion on his face.

"Well what is it?" Kiba urged him to tell them what he knew.

"It is strange. My insects have thoroughly searched the entire building but..." He paused as trying to understand what the insects had reported back. After a moment of silence Kurenai had to break his train of thought.

"Shino, please, tell us what they found." He lifted his head from his thoughts and continued with his report.

"Yes. I'm sorry Kurenai-sensei. It's just that my insects are saying that in the entire building there is not a single person or sign that it is being used. The news caused Hinata to gasp whilst making Kiba shout in frustration.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ONES THERE? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US OUR INTEL WAS WRONG?" His fists were shaking and a growl could just be heard under his voice.

"Calm down Kiba!" Kurenai ordered. Kiba knew better than to disobey his sensei and calmed himself. Poor Kiba Hinata thought, he must feel so useless right now. All eyes had turned to Kurenai as she thought about what their next course of action should be. "Shino. Are you sure your insects searched everywhere?"

"Yes sensei they did not miss a thing."

"I see." The frown on Kurenai's features deepened as she became silent again. After a moment she set her gaze on Hinata. "Hinata use your Byakugan to search the area. That includes underground as well. Hinata's body tensed as she heard her name then promptly nodded her head once she had her orders.

"Yes sensei." She kept her crouched position so as not to reveal her location and closed her eyes. Her hands came together just below her chin as she focused her chakra. "Byakugan!" Her eyes flashed open and the veins around them bulged beneath her skin. Shino was right they really isn't anything here. She thought as she searched the building. Once she was satisfied that she had not missed anything she focused her attention beneath the building. There's nothing here either… wait that's! She gasped at the sight before her. A huge cavern stretched out from beneath the building, it even passed beneath them. She was still trying to take in the sheer scale of it all when she felt someone present in her mind. Well hello there sneaky little ninja. The voice was silky and inviting but Hinata could hear the menace behind it. Is this a genjutsu? Hinata thought. The voice chuckled before replying. Oh no. sneaky little ninja this is not a genjutsu but you can think of it that way if you wish. Hinata's heart began to race as she cried out. What is this? Tell me what you want! The voice chuckled again this time with much more menace. Hmm let's see. I was going to torture you a little before letting you go, but. Although she could not see him Hinata could feel him grinning at her and it sent an icy chill down her spine. Your memories are just dying to be rewritten. Before she could react in anyway a scorching pain shot through her brain causing her to scream. The last thing she saw was the world turning black.

Well I hope you liked it even if it was short! :)

I'm on a half term break from college right now so the next chapter should be up pretty soon. Plus I'll try to make the next chapter a little longer. :)

Ya don't have to comment but feel welcome to anyway. :)
