At the Infirmary

"Uhn…" Hinata forced her eyes opened. She tried sitting up put a pang of pain shot through her forearm. She lay back down and took in her surroundings. Ok. I'm in the infirmary and… Someone's sitting next to me… Who is that? Hinata turned her head slightly. Kiba? Why is he here? I thought… If I'm here and Kiba's next to me… Where is Usagi? And wouldn't Kiba be next to HER?

"YAAAWWWWWN… Hey, Hinata. Um… Look, about me and Usagi-"

"Don't worry. It's okay Kiba." Hinata shut her eyes.

"It's not what you think! Usagi is just my childhood friend. And… Well… She thought that I promised her that we would be together…"

"Then it's okay. You two can have fun. Together. Missions and training. Become a waterfall ninja. It's okay,"

"Stop saying that. I'm staying here… With you… Usagi isn't here because… Kurenai said I can't carry you both. So it's either you or Usagi…" And he chose… Me…

"KIBA-KUNNNN!!" Usagi charge through the door with a fist and bashed it into Kiba's shoulder. He flinched but didn't move. Poof!!

"A-A clone?! How did…" Usagi looked around frantically.

"Usagi… You should have really paid attention to class." Kiba pounced down onto the ground.

"How did you know that I was coming? I swear! I wasn't even heard coming down the hallway?"

"Let's just leave it to that a little birdie told me." Kiba grinned.

"You… How come you chose that weak, pathetic, hopeless girl over, ME??" Usagi shouted.

"She's not weak or pathetic or hopeless. To me, she's… Everything…" Kiba… You… Really…

"If anyone's weak, pathetic, or hopeless, it's you!!" Kiba shouted.

"How DARE you!! Don't you remember who you're dealing with? Usagi, princess of the Waterfall Village."

"Princess… More of Spoiled Brat of the Waterfall Village. Why are you trying to pry Hinata and I apart?!"

"Why? Is it not OBVIOUS? HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL??" Tears streaked down her face.

"U-Usagi." Kiba said. NO… She can't possibly like me… Can she? Why not SASUKE??Or… NEJI?? They're like… "Better" than me!! Usagi sank to her knees and started murmuring to herself.

"Why, Kiba. Why?" Usagi mumbled through her sobs and tears.

"Usagi… You were nothing more to me than a friend… If you wanted to be more, you shouldn't be jumping on every girl that talks to me. Just because I'm your friend doesn't mean that you're my ONLY friend. I have many more friends. Shino, Hinata, Naruto, Tenten, Lee, Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, they're all my friends. You can't pry me apart from them."

"I-I never tried to… I was… Lonely…?" Usagi looked up. "Hinata?" Hinata flinched. Usagi held her arms open.

"I'm… Really sorry…" Hinata sat up slowly and hugged her back. Usagi smiled. Mischievously. She held out an exploding tag. Just as she was about to place it on Hinata's back, Kiba grabbed Usagi by the back of the collar of her shirt.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Kiba grabbed her hand and held it in front of her showing the exploding tag. Hinata gasped quietly.

"You say you're sorry and you do this??" Kiba shouted.

"……." Usagi looked away.

"Kiba…" Hinata said.

"Can't you see she almost killed you?! How can you-"

"I know… But… It was because she loved you…"

"SO? SHE COULD HAVE BLOWN UP HALF THE INFIRMARY!!" Kiba exclaimed.

"And I would have got away with it too! If you hadn't seen…"

"Why would you try to blow me up?" Hinata asked.

"Because… You… Stole him… When he entered the academy, he stopped talking to me about how he misses me being here. That was almost all he talked about. His new friends, you, his missions, it was like he didn't even remember how much he missed me!!" Usagi started to cry again. Hinata looked at Kiba and he nodded. Kiba walked out of the room. Looking back once and closing the door behind him.

"But… I never did anything but befriend Kiba. How could I not be friends with my squad member? Wouldn't you?" Hinata asked.

"Of-of course! But… You were chosen to be with him… And…"

Outside of the room

Kiba put his ear closer to the door.

"What are you doing, Kiba?" Shino was behind him.

"WHAT THE- WHY ARE YOU SNEAKING UP ON ME LIKE THAT??" Kiba shouted.

"How could I have? My footsteps are louder than Tsunade's when she walks with her big wooden shoes." Shino said. Kiba flinched. Why… You… Little…

"What do you want anyways?" Kiba asked returning to the door.

"Why are you eavesdropping on someone's conversation?"

"I ask the questions here!" Kiba whispered.

"Oh really. Then might I say, Tsunade summons us for a mission to help escort a person from the Waterfall Village?"

"W-W-W- Wait… WHO?" Kiba said turning his head very slowly.

"A girl about our age and her brother. Why?" Shino looked down. Kiba was curled up on the floor shivering. No way… Not Usagi… PLEASE not Usagi!! And her brother? He as such a short temper span!! DANG IT!!

"Kiba… KIBA…" Shino said louder each time. Kiba shook his head shaking away his thoughts.

"KIBA." Shino said loudly.

"SHHHH!! WHAT?" Kiba snapped.

"Where's Hinata?"

"She is… Um… Training… At her… Um… House… To um… Errrrrr….." Kiba stammered.

"Is she in there?" Shino walked forward about to push the door open when Kiba shoved him away from the door.

"… What." Shino said.

"Y-You can't go in there!" Kiba said.

"Why not?" Shino asked. Jeez Shino! I wish you weren't such a good information collector!! ARGH. Let's see… Oh!! I could say- No. That wouldn't work… While Kiba was busy thinking about what to say, Shino dragged him by the back of his collar down the hall to Tsunade's work room.

Tsunade's Room

"Oh good. You found Kiba. Where's-"

"Tsunade-sama." Kurenai walked in. She whispered something into Tsunade's ear.

"WHHHATTTTT?? I CAN'T HAVE ONE!!" Tsunade shouted.

"Then send someone else. Maybe Squad 7. Team Kakashi." Kurenai whispered.

"I guess…" Tsunade sighed. "Shino and Kiba, you are dismissed. Your missions will be postponed until Kurenai says. She said-" Tsunade stopped herself and shook her head. She waved them off as Shino and Kiba walked out. BOOOMMMM!! Kiba's eyes widened.

"No." Kiba ran towards the room with Hinata and Usagi in it. There was smoke coming out of the room.

"Hinata!!"

Before

"And?" Hinata asked.

"And I was sent away to become a Waterfall Ninja because of my talent." Jealousy… I despise it so much… Hinata sighed.

"That's the reason that you tried to kill me? You got jealous of me and Kiba being together and wanted it to be you and Kiba. So, you tried to get me out of the way… But…" Hinata paused.

"That's the reason… Nothing else to say then. You won, I lost… There's nothing I can do…" Usagi trailed off.

"It's not like you can't be friends with Kiba anymore! You can. Just because we're… Together… Doesn't mean you can't hang out with him!! Whenever you want to hang out with him sometime, just tell me. I'll talk to Kiba about it."

"You… Would do that?" Usagi said surprised. Hinata nodded. She heard voices outside the door.

"Byakugan!" Hinata looked outside. Kiba and Shino. "I… Can't hear what they're saying…"

"Choumonkai." Usagi whispered. Hinata looked at Usagi. Her ears had chakra flowing around it.

"They're talking about a mission that you're supposed to-" Usagi covered her mouth in horror.

"What?" Hinata said worried.

"You're team is supposed to escort me and my brother back to the Waterfall Village."

"So…" Hinata waited for Usagi to finish.

"You are going to lose one of your team members." Usagi said. Her purple bangs covered her eyes.

"What?! Why?!" Hinata shouted.

"Because… In order to get to the Waterfall Village, You have to pass a bridge. In order to cross, you have to-" BOOOMMM… The room was filled with knock out gas. Before Hinata fainted, she got a good look at the person with her Byakugan. His… Chakra… How is that possible? How can his… or her chakra be so powerful? No one can have that much chakra. He's… Walking toward me… He has Usagi!! No… I can't… Move… Don't… Fall a-… a-…asleep…

Somewhere at the Waterfall Village

"Kisho-sama… I've got the girl… And a Hyuga… One of the main branches." The captor said.

"Good. Bring them to cell B… They'll be a good team. Ability to see and hear. Now they're working… for me!!" Kisho said.

Back at the infirmary

"Hinata!!" Kiba burst through the door to find a cloud of gas pouring out at him. Knock out gas! Kiba held his breath until the cloud cleared.

"Hinata!! Usagi!!" Kiba ran frantically around the room. All he found was a note:

Hello reader. It is good that you have found this because it considered necessary to hear this new adjustment. The two girls here will now be working with me. If you do not get the satisfaction that was intended, please come to the Waterfall Village. Although, you will not be able to get them back. Many have tried, all but one has failed. Until then.

K.

"WHO THE HECK WOULD DO THIS??" Kiba shouted.

"Calm down!! I need to plan a strategy…"

"Tsunade-sama… Doesn't this sound like what they did before? 'He stole 2, one Hyuga, one Natsuzomi. Trained but stolen back.'" Shizune said.

"What?" Kiba asked.

"That's right! Kiba, a couple years ago, one of the Hyuga clan members was stolen and brought to this place where they would sort of brain wash them into working for Kisho. He kidnaps ninjas and trains them into working for him." Tsunade explained. "So… They're going to brain wash Hinata and Usagi?! They won't…. Then How will I get their memory back?!" Kiba shouted.

"I don't know." Tsunade said.

"WHAT?? Then how did they get the other back??" Kiba shouted.

"They became a ninja for him too. But they crept in and acted like the rest. When he got the chance, he stole both of them back. But you see, ever since then, Kisho made the protection force much stronger than before."

"Then how am I going to get in?" Kiba asked.

"Well, you can't go alone you know… So, I'm going to give you a partner…" Tsunade looked around for her ninja cards. Only Neji, Shikamaru, Shino Ino, Chouji, Tenten, and…. Naruto.. No… I can't let Naruto be caught… Chouji… Ino… and Tenten… No… Shikamaru would be good… Except he's too lazy to do anything… I don't know about Shino but… That leaves me with…

"Who's my partner going to be?" Kiba asked.

"uh… Nej-"

"NO WAY!! NOT-"

"Tsunade-sama… You called…" Neji walked in.

"Not… YOU…. NOOOO!! Tsunade-sama!! Can't you give me Shino instead??" Kiba complained.

"I guess… I can give you both… You're going to need them." Tsunade sighed. Go to the Waterfall Village. Dismissed." Tsunade waved them off and continued to look at her paperwork. While they were walking to the main gate, Hanabi ran up to Neji.

"Neji nii-san!! Where's Hinata oni-chan?" Hanabi asked.

"We'll… Tell you after the mission." Neji said and turned. Hanabi cocked her head but watched them leave.
