Okay, Fourth Chapter! You're making progress! Great! I on the other hand have realised a fatal flaw in my story line and so now I'm back to having no story line! Yay for me right?

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...if I did marshmallows would totally exist over there...


Morning came quickly enough, as Hinata or now Mikako opened her eyes to the bright sunrise and the smell of smoke. Sitting up quickly she glanced around only to see Niko sitting by the camp fire.

"Ah, the sleepyhead awakes." He gave her that charming smile.

"You know, I've been thinking, seeing as were both running from something, it would be best for us to travel together."

"I told you I'm not running from anyone." Hinata murmured, still to sleepy to get annoyed.

"Sure, because I totally believe you." He laughed a cold laugh, as Hinata tried to rub the sleep from her eyes.

"But really, each of our search parties is looking for a single person; if we join up we could be home free, or closer than we are now anyway."

"Y-you don't really want to travel with me, if we ever get caught…"

"But we wouldn't! Together no one will even bother checking us; it's the perfect disguise."

"I-I don't think this is a very good idea…"

"Ah-ha! This is where I beg to differ! It a brilliant idea, we travel in incognito and become citizens of some foreign country and no one will ever find us!" His face was alight with the idea of freedom and all that came with it. But Hinata wasn't so sure,

"Say I did go along with your idea. Where would we go?"

"I don't know the Snow Country…that's far away right?"

"Okay, so we would go to the Snow Country, what then?"

"Well, we would have to become citizens or something, get jobs and start over."

"You have no idea how to start over." Hinata returned to packing up her things, 'Dobe!' she thought 'he has no idea what he's doing!'

"So what? At least I'm trying." Niko's cerulean blue eyes that reminded her so much of Naruto searched her face for any emotion.

"You think I'm not?" Hinata glared at him, 'the idiot, already making assumptions,'

"I never said that…"

"What are you trying to say then?"

"I don't think you can survive on your own, not happily anyway." She shot him another glare but inside her head she thought it over. 'Not happily? What does that mean? Kiba, Shino…they wanted me to be happy…'

"Not happily?"

"Well you just don't seem all that happy."

"Maybe that's because I have to put up with you."

"Ouch, but you know what I mean. Come on, are you really satisfied with running all your life?"

Hinata didn't answer, running kept her from thinking. And not thinking kept her from seeing them. So was Niko right? But she couldn't keep running, she had already thought this over, and anyway where would she run to? Kiba and Shino had wanted her to live her life to the fullest. They always said to live ever day like it was your last. Had she been doing that? Her thoughts were momentarily interrupted as Niko waved his hand in front of her face.

"Mikako, earth to Mikako."

"What?"

"I'm going to start packing up. Are you coming or what?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming."


Yeah, Yeah I know it was super short and I'm sorry, really! But this was just where the chapter was suppost to end...and I was to lazy to add anything more.

And now YOU (yeah you, the one reading this) Review! While I go back to staring at my computer hoping ideas will come to me...
