Chapter 3:Spotted


Hinata's POV

I pull out my laptop from my lavender book bag, and sit down at one of the small tables in the café. I love this café its cozy and warm. The smell of coffee and chocolate wafts through the air reminding me of those precious few family moments I had as a child. I press the power button on my laptop and sip my coffee as I wait for it to come to life.

I can't help but think back on this weeks work. This week was hectic, there weren't enough assassins to be found. Twelve new assassinations set up this week, and weeks more of observations and preparations. To sum this week up in a word, that word would have to be hell. Yep that works.

I pull up my email and start looking through the numerous possible candidates for entrance into the Organization sent to me by the Hokage.

Hmmmmmm…There's a swordsman in the land of mist called Zabuza, a bit too flashy…but his partner looks promising, a kid called Haku. I bookmark the kids file and move on to the next. Lets see….there's an assassin in the land of the wind, this one can go directly to the Kazekage-

A chill runs up my spine causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand. I sweep the are quickly, no one in particular standing out in my eyes.

"An assassin around here means someone's about to die." I think to myself.

I stand from my table and go to the dessert counter. As I stand there I look out the window and sigh. Why is it even when I'm off from work I'm still working?

At that moment my brothers words float through my head. "Ounce an assassin, always an assassin…"

More like ounce a Scout always a Scout.

"Can I help you with something?" I look at the tired cashier, smile and nod.

"May I please have three chocolate moose turnovers and one apple turnover?" I ask quietly. The girl eyes my waistline and I can't help but blush.

"They're to go." I add, she nods and starts to pack my order. I look outside, the assassin is still out there waiting for a kill. With the crowd out there, they'll probably go for death by gun.

"That'll be 150 ryo." the cashier says flatly. I hand her the money.

"Thank you." I say politely as I take the bag of sweets and re-pack my laptop and sling my book bag over my shoulder, abandoning my coffee, as I exit the café.

My senses go on overdrive as soon as I step out of the café. I can feel it, the air is thick with it. The intent to kill. Around me everyone is laughing and having fun. But I know from experience that this is just the calm before the storm.

Suddenly my muscles clench , the familiar sound of a scope being ripped off, rings clear in my acute ears. I force my self to act casual. Especially since the assassin is right behind me.

No wonder I sensed them so easily they were above me the whole time. I quickly cross the street sitting down on a bench, almost directly in front of the café, to the right of some tourist bar. I quickly pull out my communicator. I put the small ear piece in my right ear and discreetly bring the microphone towards my mouth. I tap the ear piece twice and murmur into the mic, not moving my lips, in fear of the assassin being able to read lips.

"Kiba…Come in Kiba!"

"Hmm?….Hina-*yawn*-ata? Please tell me there's a good reason your calling on the work line?" the grogginess slowly fades away from his speech.

"I've spotted someone."

"It's probably just a scope out."

"Kiba, he's aiming now!"

"WHAT!" he screams and I flinch from the volume.

"Where are you!", I hear clothes rustling in the background.

"Sitting on a bench across from my café to the right of a bar."

"I'll contact Shino just stay on that guy!"

"Hai!"

"Be careful Hinata." he says seriously.

"I will, Hinata out."

"Kiba out."

I shift my attention to the roof across from me. I can clearly see the barrel of his rifle from my position, even in the darkness of night. I follow the barrel and draw and imaginary line of fire. From what I can tell, the target is some big foreign guy. I watch as he talks to who I assume to be his girlfriend. She's wearing a pretty white dress, which is too reveling for my taste.

I inadvertently tense up. I look back at the roof, my instincts screaming that he's going to pull the trigger any second now. As if on cue he pulls the trigger. I watch as the bullet enters the head from above the right temple and exits from the middle of the forehead, not exactly an easy shot from his angle. His poor girlfriend screaming bloody murder in her ruined dress.

The barrel of the rifle retreats into the shadows. Having seen enough, I place my bag of sweets behind the bench out of sight after I secure my book bag on my back.

I run across the street into an alley then break out into a dead sprint as I see the assassin moving quickly from the area of assassination. I quietly, so not to be noticed, activate my bloodline by whispering "Byakugan". Immediately my vision increases 20 fold, I can feel blood flowing towards my eyes. Deciding not to waste time I focus on the assassin's back and my stomach drops. Looking through his vest, on the back of his shirt is the Uchia family crest, the uchiwa fan.

He's an Uchia, things could get rough if I approach him alone. I then search his gun as I run after him. Finding nothing on it reveling his name I look into his pockets. Bingo! A picture of the assassin and a relative, considering the resemblance. Come to think of it that family member looks familiar…There was writing on the back it read "To my little brother Sasuke so he doesn't forget his roots.-Itachi"

I stop dead in my tracks. That man was Itachi-sama's little brother!

Suddenly I hear the padding of paws and the buzz of insects behind me. Next I hear their breathing. After a certain point I can see them with my enhanced vision.

"What's the matter Hinata?" I hear Shino ask.

I don't respond, I'm too shocked.

"Hinata are you ok? Did that son of a bitch hurt you?" I hear an enraged and panicked Kiba ask.

I wait another moment then turn to them and say "That son of a bitch is an Uchia and Itachi's baby brother."

Their eyes widen and realization hits.

"I'll see you guys Monday." I say as I walk away, back towards the bar.

I can't shake the ominous feeling in my gut.

"He never told me he had a brother." I mutter to myself as I walk home.
