What if?
Hinata prepared herself for said mission like any other. She mentally reviewed every way in which this could go wrong and ways to fix it. She bandaged one of her thighs and tied up her Kunai-carrier to it with everything that was necessary, from weapons to smoke bombs and explosive seals. She visualized the way in which Menma might react when he sees her and she knew that if she made a mistake, she was dead. You could never too careful when dealing with Menma Uzumaki.
She took a small breakfast that morning and had to tolerate the presence of her family while she did it. Hanabi brought the tea, walking slowly with the plate in her hands, shivering and showing the little balance she had. She snorted, annoyed. She did not understand why Hanabi insisted in behaving in such a way when there were members in the secondary branch that could serve them. It's as if she had been training to be a housewife and not a Kunoichi. That girl did not seemed like a real Hyuga, and worst of all, her father kept encouraging that behavior with smiles and indulgences.
Adding insult to injury, there was Neji, He sat down right next to her showing off his best smile. As soon the tea cup reached her lips, she felt one of his cousin's hands caressing her right thigh. She looked at him sideways and released chakra through her tenketsus of her leg to scare his sweated and perverted hands off her. Neji smiled and looked at her cleavage. That was enough to make her get off the table.
-I have a mission, and I don't expect to come back soon. – She uninterestedly announced while looking at her father.
-What is your mission about? – He asked with a humble smile, trying to look as concerned as possible. – Do you need any help? Neji could accompany if it's too dangerous.
-Yeah Hinata-Sama... We can spend more time together this way. – Neji said, giving her a libidinous smile. Hinata arched an eyebrow and felt the need to punch him, but didn't do it, only because her father was there.
-It's a secret mission. – She answered while walking towards the door. – Neji would only get in the way. He's an annoyance.
-Hinata… - Her father called with affection, making her turned her head, watching him over her shoulder. – Don't push yourself too much. No matter what, I'm proud of you.
-Hn. Whatever. – She walked off.
While she walked towards the entrance, the looks of the other members of the clan focused on her. Everyone made a bow while she walked in front of them. They did well showing her that respect. She would soon be their leader once Hiashi Hyuga passes away. When that day arrives, she is going put order in the place, making clear who was the boss and who had to obey. She told herself many times that the first thing that she would do was put the seal on her sister. Hanabi was just too useless to be considered a member of the main branch.
She went through the gate and started walking towards Konoha's entrance. She looked completely determined with every single step. She wasn't going to back down. In fact, she had already warned Shino and Kiba that she wasn't going to be in the village for a few days. She sorted most of the things she had to sort out before leaving. everything was in the right place. There was no reason for her to regret her decision.
Suddenly, she heard the sounds of infant laughs, cheers and girls murmuring. She sighed, annoyed but did not stop walking, not wanting to turn around. She knew exactly whose were those steps that came rushing towards her.
-Good morning Hinata-san – She knew that voice perfectly. It irritated her so much. – You look wonderful this morning.
-Get lost Uchiha. – She said without stopping. Perhaps she would've looked at Uchiha Itachi once more, since he was gallant and scarily strong, but not Sasuke. In her eyes, the minor son of the Uchiha the true definition of a looser. – Unless you want to loose a few of those teeth, and we wouldn't want something so tragic to happen to someone so beautiful as you.
Obviously, she did not mean that as a compliment. Sasuke's aspect was just too delicate to be a Shinobi, from her point of view. He looked more like a model. She thought of those refined and mannered attributes as lacking in personality. A true shinobi would definitely never use so many jewels nor would he worry about his looks so much.
-Where are you going with so much hurry? – He asked, trying to catch up to her, but with every step he did, Hinata increased her pace in order to loose him. – Hey! Hinata-san… Stop.
-What do you want? – She asked, abruptly stopping and turning around.
Her look was terrifying and Sasuke looked like he got the message. However, instead of backing out, he smiled. He placed one of his hands on her waist and caressed her skin with the tip of his thumb. Hinata looked at that arrogant little hand and strongly considered cutting it, but she didn't want to get her hands dirty. No yet.
-Now that Menma's gone, you and I could start something, you know? – He winked and put his face closer to hers. Too much. – You were too much of a woman for someone like him. Me, on the other hand…
-You're already giving up on Menma? – She asked, slightly confused, trying to ignore the fact that he was so close to her. – If he came back, he would kill you if he saw getting so close to me. Menma is not one to share what he considers his.
-I saw him a few weeks ago. – He answered, serious this time. He kept silence, thinking about his best friend. – I have to train even more to bring him back. He will return to Konoha, even if I have to break every bone in his body, he will come back. – He looked at her with a smile.
-Has… Has he changed? Is he more powerful than before? – That was the only thing she needed to hear from the Uchiha.
-Yes, he's very strong. – He answered, lost in his thoughts. He had an expression on his face that even she could consider noble. – But I'll make him come back, I promised that to Sakura. – …And then, that cordial gesture went on to become malicious. – But in the meantime, we could… - Hinata took the hand with which he was caressing her face, and she twisted it so hard his bones cracked. – Stop it Hinata-san! – He said, with an expression and tone in between amused and querulous. – It hurts.
-I've told you a million times already. Don't touch me, looser.
She smacked him directly in his chest with her gentle fist that sent him flying at least 15 meters, making crash against a wooden fence. An army of fans came rushing to his help while he went on and on about how he loved that she played with him in such a way and that she would someday be his wife. Hinata only rolled her eyes, annoyed, and went on her way.

The trayectory to the city of hostels was fast. It took only about an hour and thirty minutes to get there, jumping through the three branches in the fire country.
That wasn't strange, after all, Hinata was extremely efficient whenever she proposed herself to do something and this wouldn't be the exception. It couldn't be, not if what it was at risk was her pride and… Menma.
She stopped at a few hundred meters from the city's entrance and activated the Byakugan. Maybe for someone else the search for him would've been difficult, since his scent could've changed, his traces, his looks… But Menma had something unique that no matter what, he would never be able to change, and that was his Chakra signature. Being a carrier of the Dojutsu that made Konoha proud and one of the best users at it, finding him was easy.
She found him in the outsides of the village standing in the middle of nowhere, inspecting something.
Hinata was surprised when she realized that a mark was hiding Menma's roster and not even with the Byakugan she was able to look through it.
He looked a bit like a savage, carrying clothes more fitting for a barbarian or even a hermit, what with all the belts in his arms and animal skins covering his torso. His blond hair had turned into black, and for a moment Hinata doubted if the person that was standing in front of her was really Menma Uzumaki. However, his chakra signature was distinct and could not lie. Who was there really was the person she had been looking for. Menma could hide from the entire world if wanted to, but not from the Byakugan.
This made her feel relieved. She had a clear advantage when it came to localizing him. A half smile appeared on her face when she realized that she had him right where she wanted him. She was too fast and sneaky for Menma to even have to time to defend himself.
She threw a rain of Kunai with explosive seals on top of him from the top of tree in which she was standing. Menma looked at her direction when noticing the sound of steel in the air but didn't move. A series of explosions occurred around him and the Hyuga felt slightly disappointed that this had finished so soon.
However, once the smoke dissipated, the only thing she could see was a tree stump on fire.
-Boo! – She heard from behind.
She couldn't even turn around when a kick made her fall from the tree. A "hmph" could be heard from the masked man, sounding very bored, once Hinata's figure transformed into a tree stump as soon as she hit the ground.
-You have improved these last few months. – He said, amused. – We can be playing this all day if you want. – He screamed.
-We could. – Hinata said, standing on a tree branch on top of him. Menma looked up to see how she threw herself and landed on top of him. – But I'll always know where you are.
She grabbed him with her right hand and made him clash against the tree stump, putting herself right beside him.
Menma laughed loudly while attempting to get her off him, taking advantage of the impulse of the young girl to fall again, now holding each other firmly.
Menma was the first to hit the ground with Hinata on top of him. The impact sounded rather painful but neither complained. Doing that would've showed weakness and they were both too proud for something like that.
Hinata pulled a Kunai with her left hand and pressed it against his neck before he could react.
-So you can't even show me your face now? – She asked in an amused way, tightening the steel against his skin. – And your hair? Did the blond style got boring to you? –
Menma slowly titled his face. – Black hair looks great on me either way.
Slowly, as a warning sign to make it clear that she wasn't screwing around, she put one of her hands on his mask, removing it slowly.
-Hinata-Hime Hyuga. – He said with a smile. He knew she hated that nickname. Her father had put it on her when she was a little girl to show his affection. – I believe we said, and did, everything we had to say and do to each other before I left. – Menma sounded amused.
-Yeah, I remember some. – Hinata said with derision. – It wasn't memorable enough to forget the details.
They looked at each other intensely for a few seconds, remembering that day. They didn't even blush at the thought.
-You sure about that? – He said, also with derision. – Cause I remember some pretty nasty sounds coming out of your mouth. Sounds that not even an animal could've made.
-Bastard. – Pressing the steel against his neck tighter than ever. – Someone should've told to never provoke a person that holds a Kunai against your neck.
-Maybe, but as you know, I never take back anything I say or do. For that, you should know that I won't return to Konoha. – He said with a serious tone, but still smiling. Everything seemed more like something amusing than anything else.
-I won't want you to go back. – She said while sighing. She removed the Kunai from his neck. – Without you, that place is just intolerable, you know?
-Is that a compliment or…? – He said with slight derision. He wasn't even attempting to get Hinata off him. – Let me guess… Neji still stalks you, Sasuke continues to look and act like a flaming fag, Shikamaru could just stare at a little fly for hours until Shino kills it out of the blue, Akamaru continues to bite Kiba's ass, who still believes he's a cat. I'm not even gonna mention Sakura, Tenten or Ino, they're not worth my time. – He said while sighing. – Look… If you came here, with the same whinning that Sasuke came with, then i have only one thing to say: I broke my bonds with everyone in Konoha, and that includes you. But... – He winked and smirked. - Should you ever want to play catch up... well, i could never refuse such an offer, but make it fast. I have things to do.
Hinata understood that that, just like everything else with Menma, was a challenge. He was testing if he could break with his haughtiness. But… she liked it, it was precisely that cocky and disinterested attitude that made her admire him. She didn't saw him as an inferior, she saw him as her equal.
Menma grabbed her from the hips and harshly took her off him, allowing him to get up. He stepped away a bit from her, laughing a little. Hinata knew that if she didn't say something, she would lose him again, since she knew he was not a patient person. She could not allow that to happen.
-I didn't come all the way here to talk to you about those loosers. – She said while sitting in the grasp.
-So… What? You came for a one night stand and to screw over my life? – He said while tightening the belts in his arms.
-Oh please, if I wanted something so simple, I have Sasuke in Konoha. – She said.
-Then why the fuck are you here? – He answered, extremely fast, and curling a little when he heard the last part, though he didn't turn around. She could've swore that he was jealous, but she wasn't going to jump to conclusions, and it's not like it mattered anyway. She watched him as he accommodated his cape. – I have no time for games Hinata. – He suddenly turned his head and looked at her over his shoulder with a cunning smile. – Unless… You miss me?
-What difference would that make? – She asked coldly.
He shrugged. – None. I killed Jiraiya, and I plan to do more, much more, than that. Konoha is a not a place I could call home, not anymore.
In just second, Hinata stood right in front of him, having rushed at him incredibly fast. She made him clash against the crust of the tree while she grabbed him from the chest with both hands. She had enough strength to do him some damage, but for now, she just wanted to be close to him so that he could understand that she was serious.
Menma just looked entertained. All of this seemed to entertain him more than irritate him. He put his hands on her hips, making sure that she couldn't move.
-I don't care who you killed. – She said, getting her face closer to his.
-Why not? – He said, cocking his head to the side, trying to intimidate her.
In a quick move, still holding her hips, he urged himself with his feet from the tree, making them clash against another tree, this time with Hinata cornered. She didn't complain, but the move did took her by surprise.
Only Menma could counteract her in such a way. It was one of the main reasons as to why she felt so excited when she was beside him. It was a constant challenge to keep up to his level and prove him that he wasn't better than her.
-Because, despite everything, you're still my man. – They looked at it each intensely, and for a split of a second, doubt came rushing to the burnette's mind. – I will support you in everything you decide.
-Everything? – He said while caressing the sections under her net.
-Everything. – She said while slightly rolling her eyes at the sensations that his curious fingers provoked her. It felt… so good.
-What if I decide to kill Neji? – He said while softening his gestures.
-I'd do it myself if he wasn't my cousin.
-If I killed your little sister.
-You would do a great favor to the Hyuga clan.
He was testing her, she knew that. She didn't moved when she noticed that he was pulling a Kunai out of his bag. If she showed fear, it would be telling him that she wasn't worth it. If Menma liked her for anything, it was precisely because she never showed any type of weakness in front of him. Her arrogance made him want to dominate her all the time. It was a challenge.
The cold steel against her skin in her abdomen sent a shudder through her body, but she did not move. Menma looked down to her chest, smiling. Suddenly, he cut her net with a single cut. Immediately, his mouth started entertaining itself with her breasts.
Her breathing became very sharp once she felt Menma's tongue rose against her nipples. A chill ran through her spine and she wondered whether or not he would be the only man in her life that would ever make her feel this way.
However, what really aroused her and made her moan was the pressure of Menma's hips against her, while hands explored the sections on her small shorts.
-What if I destroy Konoha?
-I'll watch it burn with you. – She answered incredibly fast. Even she was surprised.
-What if… - He went up slowly, licking her clean from her chest to her to chin until standing face to face with her. – …I decide to kill you?
