Chapter 3: First Attack (Part One)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or friends (meaning:I do not own Naruto's friends, though I do have lots friends of my own…I think) Back to the point….Don't own Naruto- Ditto Disclaimer for later chapters.
Summary: If your following along with this story you'd know that Hinata likes Naruto but thinks that he's dating Sakura (but they really aren't) and subsequently Hinata has teamed up with Rock Lee to break upthe relationship…..but will they succeed?
Two Days Later
Hinata reached into the pocket of her grey coat and pulled out a folded piece of paper. She unfolded the note and looked at it again.
Kabuki theatre. Behind the alley. 7:30 pm.
Rock Lee
Hinata scanned the area, "Looks like the Kabuki theatre to me." She shuffled into the alley and scanned the area but there seemed to be no one there, only three dented trashcans and some green trash bags.
"Psst…Hinata…..Psst…" the sound seemed to be projecting from the pile of green trash bags. "Psst…Hinata…" One of the green trash bags crept closer. "PSST…HINATA." A dark mop of hair popped up from the opening in the bag.
"Rock Lee?"
"Yeah, right here." Rock Lee wiggled out of the trash bag dislodging the banana peel off of his shoulder.
"Oh…What are you doing in there Lee-san?"
"Never mind that. They are meeting here tonight."
There was no doubt in Hinata's mind about who they were. There was no turning back now; it was time to put the plan into action...whatever it was. She nodded her head in seriousness. "What is it you want me to do?"
Rock Lee handed her an instant ramen cup and winked at her conspiratorially, causing the fuzzy black caterpillar above his right eye to move in a sinister way. Rock Lee sinister, it just seemed unnatural to her. Hinata just looked down at the instant ramen and then back up at Rock Lee with her eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, "Instant ramen?"
To illustrate his plan, Rock Lee pointed one of his index fingers up, "You put instant ramen," another index finger rose to meet the first one, " near Naruto and what do you get?"
"Naruto eating ramen?" The 'And your point is?' was implied in Hinata's reply.
Rock Lee held up white bag in front of her and started to sway it back and forth, "Yes, but I've put something extra special in this cup of Ramen." Hinata reached out for the bag with her free hand and held it closer to inspect the label on the bag; her eyes, as large as it was, grew even larger. "No... Did you really?"
Grabbing Hinata's wrist, Rock Lee started to run in the opposite direction of where she arrived, "Let's go Hinata, we've go to hurry and catch them if we're going to do the switch."
Off they went, two Chuunins off to fight for love; one with a determined glint in his eye dragging the other unsure participant whose hands were holding their weapons of war.
Naruto and Sakura were at that moment less than a block away, strolling a bit uncomfortably down the relatively empty street together. Naruto really didn't feel comfortable pretending to be with Sakura. Sure it was his plan in the first place but he just felt kind of…guilty. Not that I should be, he thought. Nothing to be guilty about…well not really.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, this plan of his. If he was really honest with himself, he would admit that he would rather be hanging out with Hinata. He really hadn't seen here around lately ever since he told her that he was dating Sakura; it was like she disappeared. He was starting to miss her. Unfortunately, he really didn't know what Hinata was doing at the moment or even where.
He was just about to suggest to Sakura that they cancel this "date" when a sudden blurry flash of green and grey a couple of meters away caught his eye. Attracted to it like a bug to a bright light, he unconsciously walked just a little bit faster towards it, oblivious to the glint of light that reflected off of the silver string just ahead.
"Wooooaaaahhhhh…." plummeting head first, he tumbled down the street, rolling to a stop a few feet away with his rump in the air. The plastic bag full of instant ramen flew out of his hand and into a shadowy corner a couple of yards away….
Sakura hurried over to Naruto and tapped him in the butt with the toe of her sandal, "Are you okay?"
Naruto shook off the fall and hopped back onto his feet, "MY RAMEN!" he scanned the street frantically for the plastic bag, "where did it go? Sakura-chan did you see where it went?"
The pink-haired girl shook her head in amazement, "Why do I even bother?" She pointed to a shadowy corner next to the flower shop just ahead of them. "I think I saw it land somewhere over there." Naruto glanced at where Sakura was pointing. He saw a rustle of movement but it was gone just as fast as it appeared. He shrugged it off.
Naruto headed over to the flower shop to retrieve his precious items with an exasperated Sakura following close behind. Right at the corner of the flower shop was exactly one instant ramen cup, standing neatly upright as if it was waiting for him. He grabbed the instant ramen and pumped it up in the air like it was a trophy, "Kyaaaaaa! I found one!"
His head zipped around the area, "Now to find the other nine….." Sakura rolled her eyes in exasperation. Pulling on Naruto's ear, she started to drag him towards the Kabuki theatre, "Let's go…we're going to be late."
"Wait, wait, wait…I still haven't found the others." Sakura kept a firm hold on the struggling blond boy's ear dragging him towards the Kabuki theatre. "But Sakura-chaaaaaaannnnnnnn……."
A/N: Here ya go...gotta go. Enjoy!
