Here I am
The next morning
Hinata stood waiting at the gate, in her usual attire. She was early, Hinata always had to be early. She wouldn't be able to stand making someone wait for her, it would make her so guilty. Of course, the was ridiculously early… about half an hour. She scanned her surroundings and her view was filled with a large, vibrantly green tree to her left. She shifted her eyesight upwards towards the burning sun and decided to seek refuge under the large umbrella-like shade. Sitting down next to it reminded her of the first time she had seen Naruto after he got back from his three year journey with his mentor. How she blushed feeling his breathe against her skin. Closing her eyes she imagined his handsome face, every single line and definition in his face was so clear to her, almost as if he was standing right in front of her.
"Hinata-chan!" yelled a voice right next to her.
N-Naruto kun She prepared herself for the sight of the blonde boy before opening her eyes. She sat shocked and turned her head to the side.
"Kiba-kun? What are you doing here?" she questioned at the dog boy.
"I have a top secret mission Haha, Why are you here?" he replied in a confused voice.
"I'm going training to prepare for my ritual of proving myself worthy to be the heir of the Hyuuga… I told you that the other day"
Kiba's expression changed to one of embarrassment, "Haha I forgot, Sorry Hinata-chan"
That's when Hinata noticed him do something weird, he placed his hand behind his head and began to ruffle his own hair. Silence overtook them and she looked around for Kiba's Dog, Akimaru1 .
"Where is your best friend Kiba?"
That is when he began to look around sheepishly; this is when Hinata figured something really weird was going on, "Uh, Sorry im acting so weird. It's just odd not having him around; my mum said I wasn't allowed to bring him with me… I think she plans to begin mating him with other dogs so that the younger children can bond with their partners"
That makes sense Hinata reasoned with herself.
"Are you two ready?" A husky, dark voice came from behind Kiba, It was Kakashi, still staring down at his favourite book.
"The two of us?" Kiba was confused at this.
"Yes Kiba, we are being sent on the mission to keep Hinata safe while she trains for her ritual."
Hinata looked to the ground, slightly embarrassed that she needed body guards to accompany her so that she could prove that she was worthy of being heir. But if she couldn't protect herself traveling for six days, what was the chance she would actually impress the Hyuuga elders. She looked up to see her sensei now being present behind the masked ninja and decided to help herself up from the tree she had begun to enjoy.
"It's time to go Kakashi" instructed Kurenai in a very unamused tone.
"Yeah let's do this!" Shouted Kiba. Kakashi looked at him with one eyebrow raised and Kiba new straight away that it meant to settle down.
So there journey began, Kiba looked at his feet as he crossed over the gate of the village, Saying goodbye to the guards on duty. Over a year huh? Hinata being here is a big surprise, but I guess it's a good cover for me. As the journey continued. The Sun above them began to burn their skins, especially Hinatas pale white complexion. Sweat began to drip down their skin and whatever water they had brought was almost gone by midday. Kiba would swear they had walked several kilometres by now, Kakashi just thought he was being overdramatic.
Kiba is complaining a lot more than usual… and to Kakashi sensei, I didn't know they were so close.
"Okay Kurenai, its time to give everyone a break to eat lunch, it will take us only five days at the rate we are going. So we can extend our breaks to give us more energy in case we are attacked. That clearing just off the road looks secluded enough to hide us from any rebels that may pass by. Hinata, can you please take the water bottles and look for a source to fill them, Kiba – you follow her and pick up some wood so that we can cook our lunches?"
"And what are you going to do pervert?!" exclaimed Kiba loudly, pointing towards the pervert.
"Uh… I have… things to do…"
"LIAR!" Shouts Kiba.
"Kiba-kun! Don't be so rude" At this outbreak from Hinata, Kiba turned to face her. His face began to grow red and surprise took over his facial expression, "He isn't our sensei, so you should treat him with some respect… it's not very nice to call someone a liar."
"Ah" Kiba muttered and looked to the ground, "Sorry… Hinata-chan"
"Okay, Okay, You can be sorry later Kiba… Go on you two, the sooner you get back the sooner we eat and leave" explained the white haired shinobi.
Kiba was very excited to have lunch, so he managed to pick up some wood very quickly, he had skipped breakfast because his alarm decided not to go off and he was almost horribly late to meeting everyone. If it was for that rock that was thrown through his window he would of never made it. The rock had managed to hit him directly in the face, whoever threw it had very good aim, but by the time he managed to have a look for the culprit they had disappeared. After making sure he had more then enough wood the young boy decided to search for his companion. He tracked her scent through the woods a little bit to his left. The trail ended at the entrance to a slioghtly lit cave, inside sat a spring that went further into the ground.
"That Byuakkugan really comes in handy if you were able to find this river Hinata-chan! I wouldn't of even guessed to look here" The voice had shocked Hinata greatly, causing her to drop one of the water bottles onto the ground. The liquid she had just acquired began to spill from the lid. Reaching out for the drink bottle, she gripped the cold surface tightly, only to feel warmth on top of her hand. Kiba was paralysed by the feeling of her soft skin; it felt like static was present wherever her skin met his. Hinata pulled her hand away very quickly.
"Ah sorry Hinata-chan, I didn't mean to do that… Your hand is really soft"
Hinata looked for anything else in the cave to focus on, but to her disappointment nothing was visible enough to distract her, So she turned herself to face the young boy, "It's okay Kiba-kun, You didn't mean to… you were just helping me"
Kiba looked around with a faint blush on his face, why do I feel this sudden heat around the skin where we made contact… Her h and was so cold, but it felt good against my own skin
After a moment of silence Hinata spoke up. "We better head back to Kurenai- sensei and Kakashi-sensei."
The moment they placed a foot in the campsite Kakashi prompted them to set up the fire and to gather the food out of their bags. Hinata reached in and pulled out some rice cakes and raw vegetables as her lunch. Kiba looked over with a grimace and pulled his own lunch out front his bag.
Everyone looked at him as he boiled his water and poured it into the Styrofoam bowl.
"Kiba-kun, Are you okay?"
Kiba looked over to his sensei, "Why wouldn't I be?"
Hinata had only just finished placing her food down on the ground and positioning herself into a comfortable spot to eat. When she looked over to Kiba confusion grew on her face.
Why is Kiba eating Instant Ramen?
"Kiba… the last time I checked you hated Ramen? Especially instant Ramen?" Kurenai hadn't seen the boy eat anything but healthy vegetables or lean meat in the entire time she had been teaching him. That is long enough to know that something wasn't right.
"Haha. Oh, Naruto recently got me into them… Sorry for confusing you" he looked to the food in front of him and attempted to eat it in a mild manner… if he just began to destroy the bowl in one gulp they would definitely be curious as to what was actually going on, and until they made it to the Acreage, Hinata and Kurenai had to believe that he was Kiba.
God Naruto, That was fucking close Thought Kakashi to himself while staring at the young boy, You suck at being Kiba… Even I'd do a better job.
