Chapter 7: Kidnapped
Hinata had finally gotten used to living with Fox Naruto, solving one of the many problems that Hinata would have to face. But when one problem is solved, relief is the one thing that Hinata should feel as a another close encounter will be faced.
(Hyuuga Complex)
Morning has arrived in Konohagakure, and Hinata is still fast asleep but little does she know that an unknown outside person is working to capture Naruto for her own personal enjoyment, who this trespasser is will soon be revealed.
The door slowly opens and the trespasser looks into the room scanning for her prize. On Hinata's bed, curled in a tight ball, letting out a small snore.
"Psst, Naruto, here boy." Whispered the unknown trespasser
Naruto did not move a budge, except for a twitching ear that shrugged off the silent whispers.
'Looks like I will have to use the heavy artillery'
The unknown person closed the door, sneaking to the kitchen. 'This ought to get him out of there.'
The unknown bandit came to Hinata's room again, she slowly opened the door sticking her hand in the door with a cooked piece of bacon. Naruto lifted his head, with his attention on the bacon, he slowly walked towards the strip of bacon. Upon reaching the door, it opened fully and the trespasser picked Naruto up, without a struggle. The door closed silently as Hinata, who was still sleeping, rolled in her bed left to right.
(2 hours later)
Hinata slowly began to wake up slowly, because Naruto has been such a hand full. As Hinata opened her eyes she felt that something wasn't right. She scanned her room for anything out of the ordinary. Then Hinata finally realized.
"Where is Naruto!" Said Hinata, throwing the sheets off her bed.
Hinata ran around her room looking under her bed, checking any place that he might be hiding.
"Byakugan!" Said Hinata
Hinata looked around, then she came realize that Naruto wasn't in her room. Panic had set in as Hinata started to scramble around. She sprinted out of her room, darting down the hallway, Hinata had entered in the training court of the Hyuuga complex, where Hiashi was standing around, watching over Neji's practice. Hinata ran up to Hiashi.
"Father! Have you seen..." Hinata paused just realizing what she had almost said.
"Seen what?" Hiashi asked
"M-my, uh, ninja headband." Hinata said knowing full well that she was wearing it.
"It is around your neck." Hiashi said
"Oh, right I forgot. Sorry father." Hinata said
"I have a question for you Hinata." Said Hiashi
Hinata braced herself for the coming question thinking of a excuse for any possible question that her father might have for her regarding Naruto.
"Have you seen my other sandal? Hiashi asked
Hinata was relieved that her father hadn't found out about Naruto.
"Sorry no I haven't" Hinata said
"I could have sworn I put by my bedroom door last night, it just disappeared." Said Hiashi. Hiashi pondered for moment then looked at Hinata."Hinata, I have task for you. I need you to find my missing sandal. I am far to busy to look for them myself." Hiashi commanded
"B-but, I, u-uh, very well" Hinata said knowing she could not refuse a her father's request, because it might cause suspicion.
"Good, then you will be on your way then." Hiashi said in a stern voice.
Hinata bowed and a started to walk around the complex for her father's missing sandal but all Hinata could think about is whether Naruto was safe or where he might be. Soon Hinata's worries made Hinata snap and she bolted out of the complex to try and find people who could possibly help her with the situation. Her first thought was Sakura, she was on his team she would have some idea where he would run off to. So Hinata ran made her way to Sakura's house.
(Sakura's home)
Hinata had finally arrived at Sakura's house and was tried, but she was determined to find Naruto. Hinata banged on the door repeatedly.
"I'm coming, hold on." Said Sakura coming down from her room.
Sakura opened the door and was surprised to see Hinata without Naruto in her arms, she saw that Hinata had a worried face, Sakura knew something had happened.
"What's up Hinata, did something happen?" Sakura asked
"Well I today when I woke Naruto wasn't sleeping on my bed like usual then I looked around and Naruto wasn't in my room so I ran out trying to find him then I ran into my father and now I have to find Naruto and my father's missing sandal!" Hinata said in one breath
"Hinata! Calm down, take a deep breath and let it out. And why do you need to find a sandal?" Said Sakura
"Never mind the sandal that can wait, I am more worried about Naruto." Said Hinata
"To be quite honest Hinata, I don't know why you came to me?" Said Sakura.
"Well you could know all the places that Naruto likes to hang out at." Said Hinata
"I guess." Said Sakura.
"Well I guess it would be smart if I asked Kiba to help. He could track Naruto down." Said Hinata turning red from embarrassment, Hinata knew that Kiba should have been the first person to ask but she panicked at started to think irrationally. "I'm sorry for bothering you" Hinata said.
"That's okay I don't mind helping, I will do my best to help you out." Sakura said with a smile.
"Thank you so much." Said Hinata
Sakura and Hinata set off to the Inuzuka complex in a hurry, for every moment they take the chances of losing a Naruto grew.
(Inuzuka complex)
Hinata and Sakura arrived at Kiba's home, Hinata knocked on the door as fast as possible, while Sakura was attempting to keep Hinata calm reassuring her that Naruto would be safe. Faint footsteps approached the door. Kiba opened the door looking like he was dead beat tired.
"Oh Sakura and Hinata what are you doing here, wait don't tell me it has something to do with Naruto right." Kiba said
"Yes, I couldn't find Naruto at all this morning. So we need your help to track him down for us please." Hinata explained.
"No thank you." Kiba stated.
"What!" Sakura and Hinata said at the same time.
"Naruto has caused me enough trouble these past couple of days, some people just need a break." Kiba explained.
Sakura's eyes started to fill with anger, but at that moment a voice rang out from inside the complex it was Kiba's sister Hana.
"Kiba! Mom said for you to clean up the kennels today" Hana yelled.
"Never mind let's go." Kiba said really quick as Akamaru jumped on his head rushing out of the door to escape chores.
Kiba, Sakura and Hinata made their way to the Hyuuga complex in order to get Naruto's scent.
(Hyuuga complex)
As they entered the complex, they ran into Hiashi who was still keeping watch over Neji's training.
"Tell me have you found my sandal yet Hinata?" Hiashi asked
"No, but that is why I brought Kiba over, he will be able to find it easily" Hinata answered.
Kiba grabbed Hinata pulling her aside.
"I came here to help you find Naruto, not to smell your old man's feet." Kiba whispered.
"Please just bear with it. The sooner we find the sandal the better. We need to get my father out of the way." Hinata pleaded.
"*sigh* Fine" Kiba answered.
"Thank you." Hinata said as she turned towards her father. "Father, we use your other sandal?"
"Why do you need my other sandal?" Hiashi asked
"So that way Kiba can track down your other sandal." Sakura interjected
"I see." Hiashi said as he slipped off his sandal and handing it over to Kiba.
Kiba looked at the sandal and prepared himself for the worst, while Akamaru was on his head understanding the pain he would about to endure, but at the same time Akamaru gave a bark of laughter.
"Oh you think that's funny, well here you go." Kiba said as he put the sandal up to Akamaru face making sure he got a good wiff of the odor.
Kiba handed the sandal over to Hiashi. "Akamaru will be taking over" Kiba said picking up Akamaru and setting him on the ground.
Akamaru looked at Kiba with an annoyed face, but then he put his nose to the ground and started sniff around. Suddenly Akamaru bolted off into the complex.
"Akamaru has the trail, let's go!" Kiba said
Akamaru lead the group through hallway after hallway passing up Hinata's room and before they knew it, Akamaru had completely stopped.
"What is it Akamaru?" Kiba asked.
Akamaru continued to smell the ground making a couple circle before leading to a door. It was Hanabi's room. They knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Hanabi answered to the knock.
"It's me Hinata." Hinata replied.
"Don't come in." Said Hanabi
There was a lot of movement going on in the room.
"Hanabi what are you doing in there?"
"Nothing" Hanabi replied
"That's it we are coming in!" Yelled Hinata
Hinata, Sakura, and Kiba barged into the room, all they saw was Hanabi sitting on her bed reading a book.
"Where is the sandal Hanabi?" Hinata asked
"sandal? What sandal? I don't know what you are talking about." Said Hanabi
Kiba looked at Akamaru, gesturing to go find the sandal. Akamaru sniffed around the room. Hanabi started to look nervous, then Akamaru stopped at Hanabi's two door cupboard.
"No, not in there!" Hanabi shrieked.
Hinata opened up the cupboard what she saw filled her with anger and relief. She had found Naruto sitting inside chewing on Hiashi's sandal. Hinata picked Naruto up who still had the sandal in his mouth. Hinata grabbed the sandal but Naruto was reluctant to give up, but Hinata managed to pull the sandal away from Naruto. Hinata turned towards Hanabi.
"Do you have any idea how much you put me through today!" Hinata scolded
Sakura and Kiba just watched as Hinata scolded her little sister, 'Hinata can be really scary' they both thought. But still they could both tell just how much Hinata really cared about Naruto.
Sakura intervened, trying to calm down Hinata. "It's okay Hinata, you do have the right to be angry, but the important thing is that Naruto is safe and we found the sandal, we just killed two birds with one stone" Said Sakura.
"I guess you're right." Said Hinata. Hinata turned back to Hanabi "Don't ever do that again."
"Whatever, I told you to never let your guard down or I might take Naruto for myself." Said Hanabi in a smug manner.
"Well, now for your punishment." Kiba said.
"Punishment?" Hanabi questioned
A foul odor filled the room.
"Ewwwww!" Hanabi yelled.
"Good boy Akamaru." Kiba said patting Akamaru on the head for a perfect "marked territory."
"You're lucky we left you with that if father were to find out that you took his sandal, well it would be worse than two days of a smelly room." Said Hinata
"Fine, you win this time, but I will not give until Naruto is mine." Hanabi said opening a window to let in fresh air.
"Like that will ever happen." Hinata said.
Hinata, Sakura, and Kiba with Akamaru on his head, left the room their first stop was Hinata's room where they put Naruto in.
"Sakura could stand just in case Hanabi tries to pull a fast one." Asked Hinata
"Sure."
Kiba and Hinata made their way to the court yard where Neji and Hiashi were taking a break from training.
"Father, we found your sandal." Hinata said
"Ah, Thank you, where did you find it?" Hiashi asked
"It was in your cupboard." Said Kiba
"I could have sworn I looked there, but in any case. I am impressed, Kiba the Inuzuka's ninja dogs are quite impressive. But I could have gone without the slobber" Said Hiashi
"Thank you sir, I couldn't have done it without Akamaru." Said Kiba
"And I am impressed with you Hinata." Hiashi said
"Why? I didn't do much." Said Hinata.
"You showed that you were very resourceful. The showing of a fine ninja." Hiashi Complemented
"Thank you father." Said Hinata bowing before making her way to her room.
The rest of that day went on. This time Hinata had her guard up all day, holding Naruto close to her, that is when she noticed something.
"*sniff* *sniff* phew Naruto you stink, you are gonna have a bath soon" Hinata said plugging her nose.
