AN: Hinata is about six in this chapter. Another one based on a real event, as always I will put the real event at the bottom. Hinata represents me, but a bit (ok, a lot) better at me at this game. Warning: A bad word in Japanese. Teme means bastard.
Disclaimer: Sorry, forgot the disclaimer on the last chapter. To make up for it, I'll give you an extra special disclaimer this time:
You love me,
I love you,
I don't own Naruto,
So you can't sue!
Chapter 4: The Ninja Game
Hinata clutched the stick in her hands. This was so out of her element! She was a close combat type, not someone who could deal with weapons being hurled at her. A projectile zipped through the air, and she took a deep breath and swung…
THWACK! Hinata whacked the sycamore seed pod right out of the air. "Go Hinata!" someone shouted.
"The Ninja Game" aka using-sticks-for-swords-and-sycamore-seed-pods-for-shuriken-and-pretending-to-be-ninjas was very popular. Hinata was pretty good at whacking those seed pods right out of the air, so naturally everyone always wanted her to play. It must have had something to do with her Byakugan.
THWACK! Another one flew at the back of her head, but she whacked it easily.
ZOOM! A basketball flew by her. The game was escalating! She kept an eye out, but suddenly one flew toward the back of her head again. She quickly turned around and blocked it, but then one hit her from the other side.
"Ouch" she thought, rubbing her head. Neji, watching Hinata from the sidelines, shook his head in disapproval. The Hyuuga heiress should not compete in silly games such as these!
"Hinata-sama, I think we better go now..." said everyone's favorite Hyuuga teme.
"Aw, let her stay!" a lot of the girls instantly chorused.
"Yeah, just because you are no good at it doesn't mean that you can't let her play!" shouted Ino.
Neji prepared to march right over and give that girl a talking to, but just then something hit him in the back of the head. He spun around to see a pair of girls. One flashed the peace sign and the other stuck her tongue out. They both giggled.
"I guess the Hyuuga prodigy isn't as great as he says!" taunted one with brown hair in tight buns. He recognized her as one of the girls from his academy class. Tem- no, Ten Ten, that was it!
"Girls!" he shouted, exasperated. He then turned around and stomped away leaving the girls to giggle at their cleverness.
"N-Neji-Kun…" Hinata said quietly, but he was gone. She had to somehow feel that this was her fault, but she tried to shake it off as they went back to the game.
Ok, actual event time. I was playing this game with my church group and had the sudden realization that "Hey, Hinata would be really good at this!" I decided to write this chapter, and the result is what you see before you.
See yah and thank you to all my reviewers,
Especially Party in the Afterlife, Big Paja, marchingkatluvsmusic, and magdad. Let's see, that would be all of them!
Big Paja, I will use you're idea in the next chapter, ok? I like it, a lot, but I had this idea and needed to get it out. As always, thank you for your excellent feedback!
