Hinata felt a shiver ran up her spine. Her jaw dropped to the ground as her beautiful, lilac eyes represented shock. She gulped once more, asking herself, "What to d-do? W-What to d-do?!" Sweat trickled down her pale forehead, her heart now at her throat. Who would do such a thing? Why would somebody do such a thing? Hinata went through everything she did in her head. She didn't offend anybody; she didn't even talk back to anyone before in her whole life! What did this innocent girl do? She was going crazy as her paranoid brain screamed in fear. It was as if she was going to suffocate if she didn't find out the truth- right this minute. Just then, Kiba and Neji appeared at the door of the washroom, slightly out of breath and panting.
"Hinata! What…" Kiba's voice trailed off the moment something caught his eye. The older Hyuuga bit back a gasp, clearly thinking it was an unexpected twist of events. "Well, at least you don't have to guess where to investigate first…" Neji cringed. Kiba's sense of humour obviously wasn't very appealing to the rest. He closed his eyes. This is not happening… He thought to himself. Neji thought this whole thing was getting out of hand. He bit his lip, at the same time thinking of what exactly to do next. Kiba took a good look at the mirror once again.
'All Good Things Come To An End.'
It was written on the mirror- with what looked like a red substance. Neji wiped the mirror with his finger and smelt it. His eyes immediately widened, "It's blood!" He took the blood sample with a piece of cotton and threw it into a plastic bag. Kiba scratched the back of his head, "If we're suppose to keep this under wraps and not letting the ANBU involved in this, how are we suppose to get this examined? I mean, this takes a medicine expert to know whose blood this belongs to!" Neji just smiled and shove the evidence into Inuzuka's hands. Kiba was getting impatient, "Well? Mr. Smarty Pants, I don't think I can read your mind." Neji's smile grew wider.
"I figured you weren't that smart."
0oo0oo0
"Huh? What do you want me to do?!" Haruno Sakura sat at the edge of her seat, looking at the boys as if they were a bunch of idiots. "I have never done this before! I'm taking this to Tsunade-sama!" Neji pushed her back to her seat, "Has Hokage-sama taught you?" Sakura began to fidget in her spot, "Y-yeah… But I've never tried it before! I may never get the results!" Neji rolled his eyes. Haruno was getting more and more annoying by the day. "Look, I know you're scared. But if we get this delayed any further, Shino is going to be in serious shit." Kiba looked her in the eye. He was serious this time around. He was going to get his friend back, no matter what it takes.
Sakura was somewhat touched by Kiba's words. She thought about it for a while and pulled out her medical notebook she used to jot down pointers Tsunade gave her. As she glanced at the page of notes, Neji swore he heard her mutter 'I'm insane' under her breath. With her eyes still glued to the book, she sighed, "All right, I'll do it. On one condition-" Inuzuka listened intently. "-If I ever get out of this alive, you are going to owe me one hell lot of money!" Kiba and Neji smirked. Mission succeeded.
(Twelve hours later)
"Hey guys! Found something! You've got to come quick!" Sakura excitedly pounded on Neji's house door. Kiba was the first one to rush out of the room. Neji trudged behind the boy; he was tired and it was in the middle of the night. Hyuuga glanced at the clock as he put on his clothes. It was just a little over half past one. This had better be good, if not he'll make sure to bite Sakura's head off when he got his energy back.
Sakura hurriedly pulled the sample out of the bag and showed it to the boys. "Now, what do you see?" Both boys raised an eyebrow at her. Is this a cruel joke? "Blood?" Kiba pointed to the cotton. Sakura smirked, "Yes, but it is much more than that." She pointed to a yellowish liquid at the tip of the sample. "Look at this. This is pus." Kiba shot her a questioning look, "So?" Sakura rolled her eyes and explained. "A cut deep enough to cause so much blood to be able to write on the mirror means that the cut was left out open for quite a long time. From the pus, it looks like it's more than twelve hours old."
Neji folded his arms, looking interested, "Okay, but what does that say about the person?" Sakura slapped her forehead, groaning, "Baka. How big is Konoha? I don't think a person can leave a wound like that on another without someone noticing. Even if he was discharged from the hospital, it will leave a scar and he has to wear a bandage for at least a week. And you know something? Somebody had been reported missing about the same time the cut was placed on the victim." Kiba went through his mind. Eh, who went missing? He thought hard and long until he saw Neji close his eyes, clenching his fists, taking a deep breath, before answering Sakura's question.
"Lee.
"Rock Lee."
Heehee, there you go! I'm not sure whether I'll 'eliminate' our little green friend. Depending on my mood I guess... xD Heehee. Review are appreciated! xD
