The Next Day

To say Ryuu and Hinata were tired would be an understatement. They were about two steps away from falling unconscious. Anko was a real slave driver. They followed the training regimen that she gave them and as a result were now ready to die. But, neither could deny that they felt good after working so hard and secretly enjoyed each other's company even more.

'Man, now I know what Anko meant by pain.' Were the thoughts of Ryuu. Hinata's thoughts were quite similar, but soon took a different turn as she saw a sweaty Ryuu finishing up his training.

'He's so HOT!!! What's happening to me? I don't think this way about anyone, not even Naruto-kun!' But deep inside her, unknown to even herself, feelings were stirring. 'Maybe I like him.' 'No! I only like Naruto-kun! But….' Hinata's thought were quite confusing.

Meanwhile, Ryuu was thinking something along the same lines, but his thoughts were less complex.

'Man she's hot!' Since he didn't have a crush and generally wasn't shy or timid, he didn't feel very strange thinking this. But Ryuu also wasn't aware that what he was feeling for Hinata might be more than simple attraction.

"Ah young love." Said a Anko with a smug look on her face.

"Nani!!!"

"Well it's pretty obvious right? I mean every time I see you two your either staring at one another or looking the other way and blushing."

This caused both teens to turn scarlet. This only further provoked Anko into teasing them. For the rest of their missions, Anko teased them at every opportunity and made it very awkward for them.

Normal POV

The three were now inside the Hokage's office after finishing another misson. (coughchorecough)

"Congratulations you've now finished 20 D rank missions." the godaime said with a smile on her face.

Though on the outside they looked calm on the inside Ryuu and Anko were seething. Anko managed to hold back her fury since she was a tokubetsu jounin and yelling at the Hokage would be considered a disgrace, but Ryuu was about ready to explode. Luckily he was professional and brought up the topic in a more calm manner.

"Pardon my rudeness Hokage-sama, but I think our team has the qualifications to go on a C rank mission at the very least. We've been training quite hard recently and I believe we could do a good job."

"Very well Ryuu-san since you asked so politley there is one C rank I believe you could do."

'Yes!!!! Great job gaki!!!!' Anko cheered in her head.

Hinata though was a little nervous. She didn't want to screw up and disgrace her father.

As Ryuu and Hinata were walking home he asked her about it.

"Ne Hinata-san are you ok?" he asked.

'Is Ryuu-kun worried about me?' Hinata thought in her mind but immediatley dismissed the thought. 'He probably just doesn't want me to be a burden on the mission.' she thought sadly.

"Ah, I'm fine!" she feighned cheerfulness.

Ryuu wasn't convinced, but since he didn't know her well left it alone. When they reached the Hyuuga Clan Compound he faced her with genuine concern and said,

"If you ever need to talk just let me know. I'm all ears." He smiled sweetly at her for a second then waved goodbye and turned to leave.

Hinata blushed heavily and quietly said goodbye.

Hinata's POV

'He really cares about me.' Hinata layed thinking in her bed after a stressful evening of her father yelling at her and telling her she better not mess up the mission.

"I think I like him." She unintentionally said out loud.

"Like who?" The voice made Hinata jump up and yelp a little, but she calmed after realizing it was only her sister Hanabi. Though she always pretended to love and support Hanabi in truth she greatly disliked her. Ever since her mother passed away and Hiashi started praising Hanabi more and gave her more attention Hinata became jealous. At first she hated her self for it and told herself it was wrong to be mad at her sister for something she had no control over. However, soon Hanabi turned into a spoiled brat and thought she was better than Hinata. In reality she only defeated Hinata because Hinata held back not wanting to hurt her, but now Hanabi treats her like dirt. Hinata simply pretends not to care.

"No one, Hanabi."

"Whatever, you better not screw up this mission, if you do father will disown you for sure. Though I don't really care. If he does, I won't have any competition for becoming the heiress of the Hyuugas."

"Please leave me to myself Hanabi." Hinata was starting to get upset, because even though Hanabi sounded harsh, her words were quite true and she wasn't helping her feel better.

"Tch, whatever." Hanabi left the room and silence surrounded Hinata once again.

'Why do I put up with this?' And with that thought she fell into a sleep, but not a peaceful one, but one filled with nightmares about being left by her family.

Still Hinata POV

We were currently getting our first C rank mission as a team together. I was more nervous than excited. Just thinking about failing this mission gave me chills. Even though I hate my family if I get disowned I won't have anywhere to go!

"Ok your mission is to escort this civilian to Sunagakarue. There shouldn't be any problems, but bandits and wildlife so this mission should be relatively easy." (I know I'm kind of copying the wave thing right now, but I couldn't think of a good mission! Sorry!!!)

"His name is Shinomori Daichi." A man around his late 40's walked into the room. He looked at the team and shrugged.

"I guess they'll do." When he looked at Hinata and Anko he smirked.

Anko put on her sadistic look and he cowered in fear. Hinata looked freaked out so Ryuu glared for her.

'That damn pervert will never look at Hinata-chan again!!!!' he thought in rage.

'Wait Hinata-CHAN????' Ryuu's thoughts were then to confusing to follow.

Unfortunately for the man, he didn't take Ryuu's glare seriously and would soon pay for it later. But I'm getting ahead of myself, you'll have to see what I mean later.

"Alright team let's head out!" Anko shouted with fake enthusiasm.

And with that they left the village with these thoughts:

Ryuu-'Yosh! I'll impress Hinata-chan I mean the Hokage with my skills on this mission.'

Anko-'Oh god, this is going to be so boring. At least I'll be able to hurt that guy if makes a move on me!'

Daichi-' Heh, two cute girls protecting me, I'll have to take advantage of this.'

Hinata-'Please don't mess up, Please don't mess up.........'
