Hinata woke up early in morning in her tent from the sounds the birds were making.She sent a quick glance to her watch and saw it was 6:30 in the morning.She wore her mission gear and went out of the tent.It was clear none of her teammates were awake.She decided to make meal before they woke up.She had brought much uncooked food with herself,and she boiled some eggs and fried bacon.
When Shikamaru woke up,he smelled food and realized he wasn't the first one to wake up.He walked out of his tent and saw Sasuke,who was still sleepy and had dark circles under his eyes.He looked very unpleased,and Shikamaru understood he didn't wake up on his will.He chuckled deeply,and received death glare from the former Avenger.
"Good morning,Hinata,Sasuke."
"Morning,Shikamaru-kun."
"Hn."
"The food is ready, please sit down and have some."
The two males nodded silently,and sat.After having meal,Shikamaru said.
"If we move now and fast, we'll reach to Suna tonight.And if the weather doesn't change to bad,of course."
They packed their things,and started to jump from branch to branch.
They didn't talk much during traveling,Sasuke was mumbling something about lack of sleep,Shikamaru about how troublesome something was and how Kabuto didn't think twice before trying to kidnap Temari.Didn't he know how hard would it be to try to deal with her? Perhaps no.Hinata was giggling at how the two boys understood each other even though each talked about different things.
'They are getting along,' she thought,smiling.
Hinata said that she felt tired and would like to rest,her teammates agreed,both wanting to sleep, especially Shikamaru.
Sasuke and Shikamaru took out their sleeping bags and laid down,Hinata also rested a bit,and seeing how peaceful the two slept,she decided to explore the territory.Hinata saw little wild animals running around,and wanted to know where they came from.She followed one of the gray bunnies until she reached to a place which was darker than usual, because the branches covered the light from sun.She moved some bushes and saw a wonderful place.Her mouth hung open from the sight in front of her.It was a high waterfall,and beautiful blue lake under it.Sun barely peeked through the branches,and the little sunshine made the water shine and sparkle in a very pretty way.In that moment,she felt how she wanted to jump in water and bathe.She quickly removed her clothes,tied her hair to the side,and jumped in water.The water was cool,but not very cold,and Hinata enjoyed the feeling of cool water against her warm skin.She washed her body and sank down.When she returned to surface of water,all of her hair were dripping wet.She continued to swim in the shiny water,losing the track of time,not even thinking the two men she went on a mission with, could have waken up.After swimming a little much,she heard some noises.At first she thought someone called her name,but then she ignored the feeling and thought it probably was her imagination playing games with her.Hinata splashed water and laughed happily,until someone said her name loudly and she turned around,only to see Sasuke with wide opened mouth and pink cheeks.She looked at him and then it hit her-she was naked! Of course,the water covered her curves but her pale neck,her collarbones and a little bit of cleavage was revealed.She blushed and sank herself under the water.Sasuke turned around to give her some privacy,and said with his cold tone.
"Me and Shikamaru are waiting for you in the place our sleeping bags are.Hurry up and get there."
With that he went away.He stood for a moment to cool down his heated cheeks before he would meet the clever Nara.
"Shikamaru! Oi! Shikamaru!"
"What? You found her?" he said, appearing behind bushes.
"Yes.She was swimming." His face turned bright pink,remembering the scene he saw earlier.
Shikamaru smirked at his reaction, but decided not to question anything, thinking it could worsen the situation.
A few minutes later appeared Hinata,with wet hair and embarrassed look.She apologized for making them wait,and started to gather her stuff.Suddenly Shikamaru tensed up,when Sasuke sent him a questioning look,he left his finger and put it on his lips,; trying to say "shut up".Sasuke realized what was going on,and they both tried to warn Hinata about the unknown danger.She was oblivious of what was happening,and she was gathering her things,humming under her breath.Suddenly a few kunais were sent into her direction,but she didn't notice them.Shikamaru jumped from his place,hugged her and they both fell on the ground, with him on top of her.She blushed a bit, mumbled a soft "thank you" and stood into fighting position.Sasuke noticed it, but said nothing.Seconds later some ANBU's revealed themselves from the dark.
'15 ninjas.ANBU's from Hidden Mist.What is their problem?' thought Sasuke,but noticed that they looked straight to Hinata's eyes.'So they are after Byakugan.'
He activated his bloodline, seeing that Shikamaru and Hinata were also in fighting positions. The three came closer to each other until their backs touched.
"What shall we do?" whispered Hinata.
"We shall fight obviously."
"No,Sasuke.Our mission is urgent,we don't have time.Besides we can't put Hinata under danger.We all know what they are after, right?"
He nodded." What do you suppose we do?"
Shikamaru fell in thoughts for a second, then said.
"Can you use fireball so we can run when they're not aware?"
"Okay,get ready then."
Sasuke did some hand signs and did Katon.A giant fireball was sent towards the Mist ninjas.The three shinobis ran immediately,and when the heavy smoke after Sasuke's Katon passed,the ANBUs noticed they were gone.
"Damn it," cursed their leader "we won't let that little Hyuuga run away from us next time."
After some hours of running they finally reached Suna's gates.They were very tired,but they had to go meet Kazekage before doing anything.Shikamaru led them to Kazekage's tower.When they entered Gaara's office,he was not alone,Kankuro was there too.They both were surprised to see Sasuke,but before they could say anything,Shikamaru informed them about all the things that happened,and how Sasuke was on a mission with them.They nodded silently,and Shikamaru already wanted to tell Gaara about the aim of the mission,when Kankuro said.
"I'll go tell Temari you're here."
"Okay.Gaara,a week ago we had a guest in our village.Sasori.Well he said he's the only Akatsuki now,and he needs protection,because some villages decided to collect an army and kill him.He also said he had scroll, which held an important information for Leaf and Suna also.Raikage,Mizukage and Tsuchikage want to attack both of our villages and steal the tailed beasts,the ones you and Naruto have.And, another thing our mission was about.Kabuto really tried to kidnap Te-"
"SHIKAMARU! You idiot!" Temari cut his sentence barging in and shouting.She jumped on him and now they both were on the ground.She cupped his face and kissed his lips.When she broke the kiss,she hugged him so tight his red from embarrassment face turned green.Everyone in the room laughed at his reaction.That's when Temari noticed there were another people in the room.
"Hinata! So you're here too,huh? Let me hug you~"
Hinata smiled kindly and hugged her, mentally noting that Shikamaru was sure having hard time when he was being hugged by her.
"Soo Sasuke this is what you grew into?You don't look much like the genin I remember," she laughed,and he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"I expect the three of you are tired.We'll get a hotek room for each one of you." Gaara said.
"Oh no need,no need brother,Shikamaru can rest in my room, it's big enough," she chuckled evilly, then continued, "as for Hinata and the Uchiha, I think they wouldn't mind having one room, right?I suppose they like each other's company."
"Hinata-san,Sasuke,if you don't want to do so, just say and I'll order for two rooms.. "
"No,no Gaara-san, it's okay for me,and I think Sasuke agrees as well,so we'll have one room,and thank you," she smiled.
When they were about to leave Gaara's room,Gaara called Hinata's name,she smiled widely and Gaara asked her to stay for a minute,as he had some things to discuss.She nodded smiling and stayed.Meanwhile Sasuke went to the hotel room Kankuro led him to.He went in and looked around.It had a bathroom,a small kitchen,and two big bedrooms with king-sized beds.It looked very comfortable,and he started to unpack his things.He was still annoyed by the fact that Hinata left him alone.He lied on his bed, thinking about how in a week his life changed from a normal one into a troublesome one.He smirked.He sounded like Shikamaru.
That's when the Hyuuga girl walked in the number.She unpacked her things,then took a refreshing shower.When she was done,he decided to clean himself too.He opened hot water,stepped in,letting his tensed body relax.He was done after 15 minutes,he dried himself with towel,then wrapped the towel around his torso.It was a little short,it barely reached his knees.But his abs and masculine chest was showing.When he went out,he saw Hinata,who was drying her long indigo hair.She saw him and blushed.He ignored her, going straight to his room.
When he was done,he went to kitchen and made a tea for himself.He opened the fridge and saw that it was filled with different kinds of food-fruits and vegetables,meat,rice,some cookies and biscuits.He took out a cookie, although he didn't like sweets,he hadn't seen cookies like that in Konoha,and he decided to give a try.
He took his tea and cookie and headed to his room.Right when he sat down,a small knock was heard.
"Um,Sasuke? Umm,I thought since..since we were both alone,we could watch a movie together or talk or something else.."
"Oh,I must be blessed you want to talk to me,huh!? Why don't you just go and talk to that Gaara? You seemed to enjoy his company,and you were smiling so wide the corners of your lips reached your ears, I was even concerned.."
She looked at him in disbelief.
"What happened to you? I thought we were in a good relationship?"
"No, you thought wrong."
"You know what?"she said, approaching him, "You're a fucking selfish,rude, annoying bastard! I don't even know why I dragged you back to Konoha."
"Really?And you're an attention seeking,manipulative bitch that seems very kind and sweet but in reality isn't! And I could come back to Konoha when the fuck I wanted, understand?" tears filled her eyes and she ran out of his room.She hadn't cried since her uncle died,and she was very angry and upset a bastard like him could make her cry.She went to her room, locked the door from inside,and cried until nothing came from her eyes.And in that moment,she decided.He would pay for those words and for making her cry.She would get revenge.An evil grin found its way to her face and she went to bathroom to wash her teary face.
