Chap 1: collision
"Hinata, watch out!" kiba warned his teammate. She hurriedly swooped out her kunai knifes and flung it directly towards the oncoming attackers. Akamaru joined forces with its master, and along with his other comrade, shino, and installed their final attack onto the enemies.
Blood gushed out profusely from the injured bodies of the enemies as kiba and akamaru performed their Gatsuga. Shino simply stood by his Mushi Bunshin no jutsu as they attacked the enemies. Hinata, on the other hand, used a combination of her taijutsu and byakugan to beat the living daylights out of her attackers.
As the final enemy breathed his last air, kurenai-sensei stood up on her feet and walked towards her beloved students.
"Well done guys. Looks like this mission's finished." Kurenai-sensei exclaimed contentedly.
"Damn! That was tiring! Argh! Kurenai-sensei, why didn't you help us out just now? You lazy old woman!" kiba cried loudly, mocking at his sensei.
"What did you say, you little twerp?" kurenai asked her student, a darkened atmosphere looming over her as she stared into her pupil's eyes with a devilish smile formed by her lips.
"Idiot, you used too much of your chakra when you combined forces with akamaru just now…" shino stated in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Oh great, bug freak's gonna mess with me now does he?" asked kiba angrily. Akamaru barked noisily in defense for his master.
"I've no time to 'mess' with you. Look up." Exclaimed shino flatly as he directed his head towards the sky. Hinata and kiba looked up and saw a figure flying towards them. It was a 'messenger' hawk. Kurenai-sensei welcomed its arrival and took the message scroll from its holder and thanked the kunoichi creature.
"Well? What did the letter say?" kiba asked his teacher impatiently.
"Looks like we'll be going to Oto no Kuni. It says here we'll be there to join forces with…oh my, we'll be joining forces with team Gai. Apparently, they're there on a mission to find out who the hell had murdered a whole village…without leaving a trace." Finished kurenai-sensei.
"Why does team Gai need our help?" shino asked.
"Hehe. Of course they need our help! With our excellent tracking skills, we'll find that damn murderer in no time!" exclaimed kiba proudly.
Kurenai converted her view from the scroll and watched her female student. Hinata froze in her tracks. She stared down onto the bloodied ground, completely immersed in her thoughts. Kurenai noticed this and gently placed her hand onto her student's trembling shoulder. Hinata looked up and saw her sensei's encouraging smile.
"Don't worry. The guys and I will be by your side. We won't even let 'him' lay a finger on you." Exclaimed kurenai-sensei protectively.
"Eh? No…no. it's not like that…erm… I…I…erm…" hinata tried her best to explain to her teacher but it seemed that she was tongue tied. She blushed at the sight of her teacher laughing at her bashfulness.
"It's alright hinata. If you're not ready to tell me, then don't." answered kurenai-sensei kindly as she released her hand from hinata's shoulder. Hinata looked up and saw understanding expressed from her teacher's emerald red eyes.
"Alright guys! Let's pack up and set foot towards Oto no kuni!" ordered kurenai-sensei excitedly.

They jumped from one tree to the next tree speedily. Hinata could feel the cold air of the afternoon brushed against her face she moved along with her teammates and teacher. They had now entered into the land of sound and were heading towards a village where another team will be anticipating their arrival.
Hinata felt her heartbeat racing rapidly as they neared their destination. She felt unsure whether to feel excited or depressed at the thought of meeting him after their last encounter. It had already been a year since they saw each. What's worse, with the current 'entanglement' between them, it made hinata uneasy each time she saw him.
"No! I must be strong! I shall not and will not let my…emotions for him hinder our mission!" hinata encouraged herself inwardly. When they finally arrived to their destination, the scenery that greeted them was startling. Kurenai-sensei, kiba, shino and hinata were horrified.
The atmosphere of the village was dead and silent. The smell of the air hovering within it was filled with blood and decomposition of rotten bodies. The ground they stepped on was pooled with the blood of the victims.
"I think I'm gonna throw up…ugh." said kiba weakly, trying desperately to hold in his vomit as he silently cursed his dog super sensory nose. He just can't withstand the smell of blood.
"Okay guys. We can't just stand here and waste anymore time. Kiba and akamaru, you two will go west. Shino, you'll go east. Hinata, you'll be investigating the northern area and I'll search for Gai's team. We'll meet back here in an hour." Kurenai-sensei instructed her students before making her move.
"Okay guys, if you find anything that might be a potential contributor to this brutal massacre, if possible, bring it back. Maybe from there we'll be able to investigate further with any physical evidence." Kiba stated affirmatively before making his move.
"Hinata-san, take this bug with you." Shino extended his hand towards hinata and placed a small beetle-like insect into her palm. Hinata looked at her teammate with wonder in her eyes.
"It'll be like a 'messenger'. It'll fly to me when you're in need of help or any kind of… assistance." shino explained to hinata.
"Hai. Thank you shino-san." replied hinata kindly. A small smile curled by her lips. Shino was always like that with her. Even though they seldom talk, shino was always most protective of her, just like kiba was. He quietly yet swiftly took off from the area and moved towards the opposite direction of kiba's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinata moved rapidly among the empty houses and investigated them. She reluctantly entered each house and thoroughly scanned the rooms and things in search for any possible clues but there was none. As she was walking to the next house, she heard the sound of footsteps trailing behind her. Hinata hastily hid herself from visible view.
"Byakugan" hinata whispered as she performed the hand seal and activating her bloodline limit. Hinata scanned her surrounding but there weren't any signs of any living being.
"What are you doing hiding there?" a familiar voice asked her.
Hinata looked up in surprise. What greeted her made her heart pumped blood straight into her face and heat rising into her ears. He was crouching upside down on the ceiling as he examined her from head to toe through his lavender eyes before releasing his foot and effortlessly landing right in front of her.
"Ne…neji-niisan!" hinata gasped.
