DISCLAIMER: hmm…-checks in pockets- nope. No naruto

Chapter four: related

Recap:

The stranger gave him a wad of cash and walked to sakura.

"hello." He said.

"h-hi…" She squeaked. OK…not only were the ramen here better but the guys were SO MUCH HOTTER…

And that's how the chaos started.

Hinata stared at the two men wide-eyed.

"d-did you say jutsu?!" Hinata asked.

Naruto, a little dumbfounded grinned and said, "so she does know what jutsus are!"

"th-then, this place. It's konoha?"

Gaara nodded.

"uh…oh my goodness. Th-there was a such thing? I-I thought it was a f-fable." Hinata started mumbling stuff to herself as Naruto and Gaara stared at her with anime sweat drops.

"is something wrong?" naruto asked, the sweat drop still there.

"I..this…what in the…" hinata kept mumbling on and on.

Naruto took her by the shoulders and shook her like crazy. "YOUR ACTING LIKE A NUT!!"

Hinata snapped out of her trance and said, " so this place is real."

"what do you mean?" gaara asked.

"of course it's real!" naruto said.

"well, back home, our family always told tales about this far away land called konoha where ninjas roamed the land and had all these crazy jutsus and stuff…"

"back at home?" gaara asked, raising an invisible brow.

"yeah, well, uggh. No time now, can you just help me find my friend?!"

"if you mean that hot girl with the pink hair over there in the arms of the some weird black haired dude, then yup, I found her." Naruto said, squinting his eyes to look at the two figures.

"a guy?" hinata exclaimed. "wh-which way?!"

"I don't know, they're gone now." He replied.

Hinata groaned. How as she going to get out of this mess?!?

"We'll find your friend later" gaara said, "after you explain yourself."

Hinata sighed at walked with the two strangers to the ramen stand.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

They went to the ramen stand and as naruto was eating his stacked ramen, Hinata told them what happened.

"Well, I am from this place called AMERICA. Does that sound familiar to you? A-M-E-R-I-C-A?"

Gaara raised an invisible eyebrow.

"ok, well that place is TOTALLY different from here. No jutsus, no super power, just NORMAL people who go to SCHOOL and LEARN about LIFE."

Gaara nodded, telling her to keep going.

"yea, so I was cleaning the attic, and I found these rings." She pulled the two rings out of her pocket and handed the pink one to the redhead. She didn't fully trust the two guys yet, so she better keep the blue one, just incase.

Gaara looked at the ring and squinted.

"how could you have this?" he said in unbelief.

"wh-what is it?" Hinata asked curiously.

"It was Kasumi's rings. She was from the hyuuga clan, and after her disappearance, the whole clan vanished too. If you look carefully at the ring you can see K.H. engraved on there."

Hinata squinted and stared at the ring but saw nothing.

"use your -munch munch- byakuyan." Naruto said, chewing on his ramen.

"uh…what is that?"

Naruto spit the ramen out of his mouth.

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BYAKUYAN IS?!?!"

Hinata shook her head no.

"it was the technique that only Kasumi used." Gaara answered, "and her clan, but it became extinct after the disappearance of the hyuugas."

"hyuuga clan?" hinata asked, "her sur name was the same as mine?"

"apparently yes, and you have the same eyes as her too."

The pupil-less eyes?

"what does the byakwuan do?"

"the BYAKUYAN is the hyuuga specialty in which you can see the chakra points in a ninja and use the gentle fist to kill from the inside."

"chakra??" hinata asked confused, "you mean that thing in yoga?"

Gaara cringed, "in a way, but you have to focus your chakra in your hands and eyes to activate the byakuyan."

Hinata nodded her head, "but what does this have to do with me? Wait, why I am I even here? I need to find my friend!"

"relax." Gaara said, "we'll help you find her, we just need to get something straight. If YOU'RE a hyuuga and KASUMI is a hyuuga then that means…"

"we're related…"
