The mission .
Team 7 and team 8 had a combined mission to kumogakaru . They were to locate and destroy some powerful rouge ninjas who were desperate to make a name for themselves . Kumogakaru requested their help since some of there Anbu didn't return home and couldn't find their hideout . So the mission team 8 locate team 7 destroy seemed simple enough .
Hinata was just standing at the front gates waiting on her teammates. She looked up to see Sasuke standing off to the side . She wondered how long he was standing there while her head was up in the clouds .

"Um g-good morning uchiha-kun" she smiled at him and bowed in respect.

"Hn" was all she got in return but she understood he wasn't much of a talker . Staring at him she could understand why he was so deadly not just by his looks and how he proudly displayed his katana on his side but it was just that his whole being sent vibes of danger . He was quite, stealthy she didn't even notice when he first arrived . he was the perfect description of what a shinobi should be . So she just stood with him in a comfortable silence sneaking glances at him till she heard the rest of their teammates arrive . Hinata bowed

"Umm good morning e-everyone"

"Good morning Hinata !" Kiba and shino said in unison which earned a smile from Hinata . She loved her teammates . Akamaru standing next to her and she started absent mindedly petting him.

"Ohh hey Hinata-chan , teme! You guys are early" naruto spoke. Hinata could feel her cheeks warming up.

"Hn . No dobe you guys are just running late !" The uchihas face looked annoyed and then they started bickering until Sakura slapped naruto

"Ohh stop fighting you two ! " she then turned to Hinata

" good morning Hinata, sorry we were running late"

"Oo it's fine" Hinata smiled at the beautiful pinkette. Then looked over to everyone and then turned to sasuke who just started walking out the gates.

"Aye teme wait up !" Naruto yelled

" it's a three day trip to the cloud and we still need to locate the rouge ninjas . We don't have time to be standing around and yapping."

Hinata looked at him with wide eyes she thinks that's the most she ever heard the silent uchiha speak before but before she could get more into the thought she heard Sakura speak

"Sasuke-kun is right lets hurry and leave ." Sakura spoke hurrying after the uchiha .

"Aww Sakura-chan you always agree with the teme !" Naruto spoke running after Sakura .

"Ohh shut up naruto "
the love triangle .
Hinata could feel the tinge of hurt seeing naruto run after Sakura . Shaking her head out of it she smiled at her team.
Then team 8 just stared at each other for a second and went off following after team 7 kiba was the first to speak

" well this will be a interesting mission" with shino and Hinata nodding in agreement. With that they were gone .

They finally arrived in kumogakaru . There first stop the last village the rouge ninjas raided . Sakura went straight to work healing some of the injured villagers while sasuke and naruto went to the near by inn to get a room . With that team 8 went to work tracking down the rouge ninja . Hinatas head was clouds with sadness as she saw what they did to the small village . How could people be so cruel just for their names sake. Kiba and akamaru went up ahead north of the village to trace some of the scents while shino went east of the village where there was more vegetation where he could spread his bugs . That left Hinata to go search the west side . She saw a tall tree where she started climbing up to the top and started using her all seeing eyes . She noticed kiba and akamaru far up north and could see shino to the left with his bugs spreading out threw the forest. Naruto was with Sakura helping her out as much as he could grabbing stuff . It kind of hurt seeing them so in Sync with each other and they way they communicated she wished she could be that way with naruto but just less abusive . Pulling away her thoughts she started concentrating on finding the rouge ninjas trails examining every detail . But wait where was Sasuke and then without thinking she turned her head and he was right there on the branch under her . She was so startled he was so close by she lost her footing and closed her eyes she was going to fall oh shit . But before she could feel herself falling to the hard ground she felt a strong firm grip on both her arms and then tugging her up to the branch . next she met his eyes It was like de ja vu looking into his dark all seeing eyes but before she could even ponder his alluring eyes he spoke in one of the coldest voices she ever heard.

" are you stupid ? " and then it all hit her her faced turned a tomato red and she tryed to back out of his personal space but without thinking rationally she was about to lose her footing once again but sasuke still had his firm hold on to her .

"Your clumsy . Now breath ."
With that Hinata closed her eyes breathing heavily . Sasuke released one of her arms so she grabbed the tree trunk then stuttered out her apologies

" I'm I'm I'm sooooo sorry u-uchiha-kun. You you just startled me . P-please f-forgive me . "

once sasuke noticed she wasn't going to have a heart attack and fall he let go of her other arm. Once she felt him release her other arm she felt the cold and turned her head to him and noticed his eyes on her examining her evaluating her every quality . It made her heart thump and her face stain a deeper shade of she heard his emotionless voice

" you need to start noticing your surroundings or else you will die . " her eyes widened at the realization and how true his words were but before she could even let the words sink entirely in he spoke again and she turned her attention to him .

" now . Tell me have you noticed which way them so called ninjas took off ?"
Still processing what he asked her her blushing face turned from him and activated her gekke genkai . She saw shinos bugs and her eyes went past kiba and akamaru she transferred more chakra into her eyes and noticed more details in her surroundings and then noticed a little block in her eye sight . So they had a barrier up so they could hide there whereabouts . It would be nearly impossible for any regular ninja to notice but Hinatas bakugan saw right threw it.

"Uchiha-kun about 370km north east of here there is a barrier it's deflecting my bakugan so I can't see what's over there but but I'm sure shino-kuns insects have gotten threw and kiba-kun and akamaru noticed it also so so we should head back to the inn and decide on a strategy ."

"That's the most I've ever heard you speak before with out stuttering." Hinata turned to him her eyes wide in shock and her all knowing blush returning to her face . His face depicted no emotions and it was like he was a statue a perfect the shock was so evident on her face because then he smirked at her and started leaping down the tree and she could so clearly hear him say .

"Pay attention and watch what you are doing clumsy." She looked down to see him on the ground looking back at her . Red in the face she took a deep breath and landed right next to him Starring at the young mans feet before her she spoke

"Umm uchiha-kun t-thank you for for your help earlier when I.."

"it's okay let's just get back to the others."

"Uh o-okay." He met her eyes and she blushed meeting his gaze and then he turned and started walking off ahead of her towards the village . She followed after him with her blushing face,head filled with thoughts, and the tingling still in her arms.
Once they reached the inn everyone was already in the room waiting for them . Naruto then looked at Hinatas red face and moved close to her right up to her face . Hinata could feel herself start to get light headed fast.

"Aye Hinata-chan are you okay ? Your face is red and it's getting redder, aye Sakura-chan can you check on Hinata-chan she came back with teme and I've never seen her face this red .. Aye teme what did you do to ..." SLAM sakuras fist collided with narutos head .

"Naruto you baka!"

"N-naruto-kun .."

"Dobe"

"Haha man I'm not messing with Sakura-chan. she is scary " kiba whispered to akamaru and shino who both just nodded there head in agreement .

Some things are not so obvious .
