Azuma arrived with Hinata at the party hosted by the youngest President of Konoha, Naruto Uzamaki. Azuma being undercover as Hinata's bodyguard and Hinata as a socialite sponsor.
Everyone who is anyone, from the old rich to the new rich, was here. Naruto gathered them all here to celebrate the Konoha Diamond, rare, dark blue gem called dioz azula.
People were scattered around the place. As Hinata and Iruka went inside the white house of the president, they were greeted by brightness. It was like entering an ethereal place. The white walls were tall as the ceiling was high. A single chandelier hung from the middle of the receiving area. People pf different countries were here. Soft music played in the background as waiters in tuxedos passed by carrying out flutes of champagne on their circular trays.
Men and women huddled together talking about topics that others had no idea about. It was beautiful, yes, and Hinata just felt like an intruder, hypothetically speaking of course for she really is an intruder. Boisterous laughing here and there could be heard and the eternal sound of chatting never left the receiving area.
A man in a bright green suit greeted them as he took their coats. "HELLO YOUTHFUL FLOWERS!" he said with so much mirth it was sickening really. Hinata smiled as Azuma, with his shades on, did nothing. "Good evening." Spoke Hinata only to be bowed at by the green man. "My name is Guy, and I shall now bring you to the ball room." Hinata nodded and gave a soft thank you her blond hair swayed as she did so.
Offering his hand, Guy smiled that annoyingly shiny smile that said 'trust me' and as Hinata took it, they walked towards the main ballroom where the invited VIP stayed. 'No wonder there were very many people in the receiving area' Hinata thought, Azuma always just about five steps away from Hinata.
"Ty Lu," Hinata called out to Azuma then looked at Guy. "Will be accompanying me from here on thank you," a pause "Guy." She ended. Guy nodded and went back out to the receiving area, maybe to find more VIPs. "Yuan Shi," Azuma whispered by her ear. "We have to keep our eyes open, it could be anyone in this room." Hinata nodded and walked towards the punch table.
The place was heavily guarded, she noted. Problem is these guards are mediocre run of the mill guards that knew almost nothing on how to properly protect the diamond. Either the party organizer is an idiot or the President is. Hinata thought it was the latter. The Diamond was situated in the middle the room perched on top of a white pillow on top of a marble stool. It was covered by what she assumed to be an easily breakable mediocre, run of the mill glass. On its four corners were gold washed iron posts and a velvet rope connecting them together creating a square around it. Four guards were situated in front of each post.
' This place is screaming steal me' Hinata exasperatingly concluded. Idiots. Her thoughts were cut short when a man with wild blue hair and silver eyes approached him. "May I have this dance?" he said his voice smooth and deep. Hinata eyed the man. There were so many women much prettier than her yet he went to her for a dance. Not to be rude, and to be closer to the Diamond she accepted the offered hand and she allowed him to lead her to the dance floor.
The song was a slow waltz and so they did just that. His hands were warm against hers and his smile was quite contagious that she couldn't help but smile back at her. Azuma, seeing this just smiled. 'There's nothing wrong with having a little fun with work.' Azuma checked the perimeter once again for anyone who looked suspicious.
As the song ended, Hinata noticed that they were near the Diamond. "Beautiful isn't it?" the man spoke while Hinata was still holding on to him. "The diamond, symbolizes the sky on to which Konoha is under." Hinata nodded. "It would be such a beautiful necklace wouldn't it sir…" The man smiled.
Then the place blacked out. Screams and gasps of surprise were everywhere and Hinata quickly activated her Nightivi. She felt her body be enveloped in strong arms as if protecting her. She tried to push the man away "I'll protect you." He said.
'I don't need your fucking protection I'm a high class well trained spy for pete's sake' She thought. She was hugged in such a way that her head was facing away from the Diamond. 'Men.' With much strength she pushed the man, whose face she cannot discern at the moment when suddenly the lights were back on. Her face in a bunch the mysterious guy shocked from when she pushed him and the Diamond gone.
'Fuck.' She finally had the gall to think once again.
