((A/N: A friend of mine wanted me to write this fic… personally, I think it turned out absolutely awful but meh… it's an overused plot anyway.
I wasn't planning on posting this fic so soon(or ever) but I feel like posting stuff today and this was just sitting there, begging to be posted…
…I need to get a life…))

Ironic Happiness
Hinata fidgeted nervously in the Hokage's office as she mentally went over what was just said.
"So… you're sending us on a 'rescue Sasuke' mission?" it was Kiba who spoke, his voice gruff but handsome none the less.
The Gaidome nodded, her eyes concentrated on the drawer that held her Sake.
Kiba raised an eyebrow, "Why us?"
The Hokage shifted suspiciously before going on a tangent about their individual skills being the best for the mission. She wasn't telling them something and become obvious very soon she didn't intend to tell them.
"Do you understand?" Tsunade finished with a long suffering sigh.
"H-hai, Hokage-sama!" Hinata faced the Gaidome with a as much determination as she could, it was very important she succeeded on this mission, 'I won't fail.' She didn't seem to realize the same thing both Shino and Kiba had…
'…Hokage-sama has an alternative motive…'
Tsunade smiled at Hinata, glad that such a key player was totally clueless to the game, "Good... all of you can go now. Get some rest and be ready..."
All three Chunnin nodded and left Tsunade's office.
"Oi Hinata-chan! Where are you headed? The Hyuuga compound is that way!" Kiba called to his friend upon realizing the direction she was walking.
"A-ah! Ano... I-I thought I'd g-get a little more tr-training in be-before bed..." Hinata looked down, her old habit of poking her forefingers together not lost.
Shino and Kiba shared a look before shaking their heads and facing Hinata.
"This is for your own good Hinata-chan."
"E-eh? EH?! EHHH?!" Hinata exclamations were ignored as Shino and Kiba took her by both arms and proceeded to lead her home, "D-demo! Sh-Shino-kun! K-Kiba-kun!"
"Get some rest Hinata." the cool voice of Shino was the only reply to her complaints. She slumped in their arms, there was no winning...
Neji, who had been nearby, watched the exchange with some amount of amusement and confusion, causing an odd expression to come across his stoic face.
"Hinata-sama?"
"N-Neji-niisan!" Hinata looked at her cousin, hoping for assistance, only to have Kiba explain the situation to Neji and Neji agreeing...
'I'm never gonna get to train!'
"I'll take it from her Inuzuka, Aburame." Shino and Kiba nodded as they left, leaving Neji to escort her home.
"So, training?" Neji asked off handedly.
Hinata laughed nervously, she was in for a lecture…
Neji took one look at her expression before laughing, and surprisingly, keeping his lecture very short. "Sorry, but you're gonna need your energy tomorrow Hinata-sama. Get your rest."
Hinata pouted, but agreed.
Upon reaching the Hyuuga compound, they were faced with Hiashi, "You have a mission tomorrow, Hinata?"
"H-hai, otousama..." Hinata bowed her head in both respect and embarrassment.
"Good luck."
Hinata nodded and rushed to her room, joy bubbling in her stomach, 'Good luck, not; don't fail...' she smiled giddily and went to take her shower before bed.
Upon exiting the shower she decided to review some of the information on Uchiha Sasuke; she would need it for the mission.
'Uchiha Sasuke, Konoha genin as of two and a half years ago, later classified as missing-nin the same year. Has been affiliated with Otogakure for the last two and half years, reports stated and clarified that the Uchiha had been under the direct apprenticeship of one of the legendary Sannin and Konoha missing-nin, Orochimaru...'
It went on to mention the Uchiha massacre and one Uchiha Itachi as a member of the Akatsuki and Sasuke's brother.
Looking at the clock she realized it was getting late, putting down the document, she looked at the roof after crawling into bed...
"I-I wonder... ho-how Uchiha-san... fe-felt... I'd be sc-scared... a-and I d-don't think the me-mental scar's w-would ever fully h-heal... de-demo... I h-hope Uchiha-san will f-find happiness so-someday..." with that she fell asleep.
The next morning early Neji could be heard knocking on Hinata's door, "Hinata-sama... your teammates are here."
Hinata looked to the door at the sound of Neji's voice, halfway through putting on her headband, "Hai N-Neji-niisan! I'll b-be right out!" finishing tying it in a moment she rushed out of the room, bowing respectfully to Neji as she passed him, "G-good-bye Neji-niisan!"
Making it out the front door without getting caught and in-trouble for running in the house she smiled at her teammates, "Ohayo K-Kiba-kun, Shino-kun!"
Kiba yawned, "'Morning Hinata-chan..." where as Shino simply nodded in acknowledgment.
Reaching the front gates quickly and efficiently, they headed out to the last area the Uchiha had been seen at...
((Ending Notes: -re-reads it and shivers in contempt- it's official, I absolutely despise how this fic is going… but I'm too lazy to re-write it… -sigh- hopefully, it gets better…
…who am I kidding? This is trash! T-T))
