Hinata loved missions, especially the ones where she gets to go with her close friends and teammates. Her favorite part of getting missions was going to places where she never knew existed. She enjoyed the view as she was undercover or doing reconnaissance, but of course she does it secretly for the sake of the mission itself. She loved the places she's been to besides the whole kill and report parts, but nonetheless there are things in the world that can take your breath away.
The Land of Lightning may seem bland and boring to some people for they only see mountains and some rocks, but in Hinata's eyes the amazing height of the mountain ranges always filled her up with wonder and awe. She could stare at the rare and rocky structures as much as she can; admiring the earth build-up of historic times. Sometimes, when she has a long mission, she stays up late at night and witness some lightning here and there. Plus the streams running through the mountains and into the ocean is a beautiful sight for passing time.
The Land of Water is one of her favorite places to go to. The many islands that the country provides have various lakes, rivers, and streams. Despite the nickname the country is given Hinata manages to find her way through the bloody mist. She doesn't go there often, but when she does she tries to find the nearest lake or river and practice her water style techniques. The mist hides her identity perfectly as she does her practices at night.
But the mission she is in now doesn't give her the slightest joy. A jolt, sure. But a jolt of bewilderment and disbelief.
Naruto and Hinata walked through the hallways of the Hokage building in dead silence and air thick as a fully grown trunk of a tree. They both stared straight ahead and placed on serious faces that threatened anything in sight. Hinata was a bit farther ahead of Naruto as she kept her pace up.
"What a messed up day," Naruto thought as he shifted his gaze to Hinata's back. He frowned as the silence wore on and heaved out a sigh.
Hinata's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as she heard him sigh. "Can he be more irritating than he is now?" She frowned as the surprising shockwave of annoyance went through her.
I mean her hate towards him isn't too violent than most people see it, but it's hatred nonetheless. One minute her heart was crazy in love with him that the sight of orange makes her blush then the next her heart hates him to the point orange makes her want to puke. The sudden change in feelings shocked a lot of people and mostly the one and only knuckle-head. The certain 'hate' that he started to show towards her is mainly because she isolated him and insulted him now and then during meet-ups with their friends.
Naruto at first took her negative attitude towards him pretty okay and handle it well by ignoring it, but at some point he got fed up with it and started darting it back at her. Hinata was a little taken back, but continued her ways without hesitance. They rarely yell at each other, but Naruto seems to be the one who mostly does it and in return Hinata responses with insults or glares that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
But when it's time to act like professionals at what they do best they try to push their differences aside and get through with it. Hopefully friends were they to make sure things won't get out of hand. Their friends took the situation rather surprising. They have tried to get through both of them, but they both wouldn't spill a word about it. They speak to each other only when needed, but besides that being in the same room together was like war with insults, glare offs, you name it. I mean it was like Hinata was Sasuke. Hinata annoys Naruto and Naruto irritates Hinata. Simple as that and they have no problem keeping it that way.
She saw the glimpse of the dirt road ahead of her as she snapped out of her thoughts.
"I think the old hag has finally gone senile!" Naruto exclaimed in his head as he continued to stare at her back. "I mean I can't possibly be stuck with her for God knows how long!"
As the walk through the Hokage building had reached its end Hinata suddenly stopped, surprising Naruto as he almost bumped into her back. He gritted his teeth and glared at her.
"Why the hell did you stop?" Naruto asked angrily. Hinata didn't move as she stood still. It was quiet for some time as they both just stood there, "Well?!"
"This mission obviously isn't going to work out..." Hinata finally said. Naruto narrowed his eyes.
"Of course it's not going to work!" Naruto stated strongly.
"… Without some ground rules," Hinata swiftly turned to him and rested a hand on her hip.
Naruto opened his mouth to protest, "Rule one: No communication unless necessary, basically saying act like we always do." Hinata quickly said.
"Wait! Why do you get to make the—"
"Do you agree with rule number one?"
Naruto growled as he hesitantly answered, "I do, but the rules should be dealt with differently."
"What do you propose?" Hinata's lavender eyes were emotionless as Sasuke's black ones. No wonder their distant relatives.
"We should agree and disagree with the rules and see which will work best."
"Did I just not do that?" Hinata asked again as she straightened herself up. "Besides it will take too long."
Naruto clenches his fist in irritation, "but I am part of this as much as you are!" Hinata stared at him with her icy glare and clicked her tongue.
She turned around, "Fine." Naruto's eyes widen in surprise. Did she just agree with him? That's a first.
"After we get the folders at home we meet up and discuss the rules." She turned her head back to him. "Where do you want to meet?" She simply asked. Naruto lightly shook his head and shifted his gaze to the side.
"Ichiraku ramen," Naruto answered and glanced towards Hinata. Her eyes were still holding the same cold stare. She then looked away and took a few steps forward then stopped again.
"8:00 tonight." Naruto looked at her, "A minute late and I. Will. Leave." Hinata said demandingly. She then started to walk away.
"Typical…" Hinata thought as she brushed a bundle of her hair behind her ear. Naruto watched as she passed through the gates and walk out of sight. He let out another sigh and scowled.
"How am I supposed to work with someone like her?!" Naruto said angrily under his breath.
"Tch! This mission is as impossible as convincing Obaa-chan to admit her age!" He stomped his way out the gates and did so all the way to his apartment.
