I'm procrastinating ..


Hikari smiled at the memory. She decided to visit that field again. As she strolled along in the tall green grass, she felt a presence.

She closed her eyes. It was coming from………over there.

She lightly tripped over the grass as she made her way over.

She was surprised. It looked exactly like that boy she used to play with when she was younger. She knelt down beside Shikamaru.

He was sleeping. Hikari poked him it the gut and leaned down to his ear. "Shi-ka-ma-ru-kun!" she whispered.

Shikamaru stirred. Something was tickling his ear. He opened his eyes. Standing there was a long lost friend.

"Oh my gosh! Hikari! Y-you're here! In front of me."

Hikari rolled her eyes. "What are you? Hinata's long lost twin? Of course I'm here!!'

Shikamaru got up from his lazy butt and leaned over and gave her a hug. "I've missed you."

Hikari grinned a smiled only meant for him. "Of course everyone loves me right?"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Same as always. Modest modest person hm?" Hikari giggled. "So how have you been?"

"I'm fine troublesome woman."

They walked into a shop that sold ice cream. "Hmm. You must have spent half of your life saying "troublesome" am I right?"

Shikamaru handed her a cone with a scoop of vanilla and strawberry with whipped cream and a big red cherry.

Hikari raised an eyebrow. "You remembered?"

"Of course. You're my best friend right?"

Hikari laughed and punched him lightly in the arm and then ate all the whipped cream like always. Shikamaru looked at her.

"Hmm?"

"Hinata's taking the Jounin exams right?"

"Yes."

"Will she be okay?"

"You have no idea how much stronger she has grown."

Shikamaru grinned. "I'll be there to watch you pass okay?"

"Deal." Hikari spent the rest of the day with Shikamaru. Frankly, she was quite happy with that.

Meanwhile………..

Hinata twisted and turned in the bed. She couldn't sleep. Suddenly, one person popped into her head.

Neji.

Neji

Neji.

That was it.

She got up and changed into a pair of jeans and a blue tank top. She had to go see Neji. She locked the door behind her and dashed off. Hinata finally got to the Hyuuga household. She couldn't let her father see her. She closed her eyes and used the jutsu Hikari had taught her.

She vanished.

Hinata walked right through the wall and sprinted up the front lawn. She found Hanabi and her father training. She couldn't help it. She stepped up to Hiashi and smacked him in the face with her chakra filled palm.

Hiashi flew back and landed on his butt, very undignified.

Hiashi stared. "My my. Hanabi! Did you do that?"

Hanabi stared with her mouth wide open.

Hinata giggled and stepped up the stairs to Neji's room. She stepped through the door. Neji was staring at some pictures.

"Neji-kun!"

His head snapped up. "Who's there!"

She undid the jutsu. Hinata waved. "Konnichiwa Neji-kun!" Neji's jaw dropped. "H-how did you get in here."

Hinata winked. "My little jutsu. Well since you're busy Neji-kun, I'll see you at the Jounin Exams! Bye bye!"

Then she disappeared. Neji sat there in shock. "Hinata……"

Day of the Jounin Exams.

Hinata stretched.

Hikari peered at Hinata. "You ready for this?"

Hinata grinned. "Totally!"

Then walked off to the stadium.

"Hinata!!" Kiba came bounding toward her and Akamaru knocked her over with excitement. Shino stood behind them. "Welcome back Hinata."

Hinata smiled. "Thanks Shino-kun."

Tsunade stepped up onto the stage and cleared her voice. Everybody kept on talking. She slammed her fist against the wall and it shattered. All the chattering ceased.

"Thank you." she said pleasantly. "Welcome to the Jounin exams. This will be very different from the Chunnin exams for you have all grown strong. We will not have preliminary matches. We will get right to the battles."

Hinata gulped. Hikari patted her on the arm.

"We will randomly choose who you will fight. So take a seat and let the matches begin!"

All the audience roared as all the contestants took a seat.

"The first match! Hikari vs. Ino!!" Tsunade roared.

Hikari disappeared and landed on the battle ground. She straightened, her hair billowing in the wind. Ino landed across from her. "Well, well, who's the newbie in front of me?" Ino sneered.

"Well, well, who's the weakling in front of me." Hikari sneered back.

"That was not wise." Hinata murmured.

Ino immediately charged. Hikari disappeared and appeared behind Ino and yawned. "How slow."

Ino roared with rage. "How dare you!! I'll end this right now!"

Hikari perked up in mock surprise. "Oh? You want to end this? Ok. I'll end it." She grabbed two kunai and started running.

Ino snorted. "You will never beat me with two kunai."

"Oh yeah? You're so easy I don't even need to move."

"Oh yeah!? Then stay where you are don't move and defeat me!"

"Ok. Sounds good to me."

Ino immediately took this chance and concentrated on Hikari's figure. "Mind Body Switch Technique!!"

Ino's body went limp.

Hikari flicked her kunai a little.

Everybody tensed.

Hikari faked a yawn. "That's it? That's all you could do?"

Everyone stared in disbelief. Hikari had not moved one inch, but was not captured in the jutsu?

"Attack her!" everyone started grumbling.

Hikari flung her kunai so it was embedded into the ground. "Sorry. Its not fair."

Ino finally came back to her senses and snarled. "Impossible!!"

Hikari grinned a little and looked very smug. "Possible. Now to finish you off." She threw three kunai. They connected in mid air and came down on the ground in 3 points

Hikari stretched out her hand and twisted her wrist. A strange color string connected the three kunai.

Ino's eyes widened and she slumped to the ground. Hikari raised her arm and the three kunai came back.

She called to the medical ninja. "She's paralyzed for now. Leave her in a room. I'll revive her later."

The crowd murmured. Tsunade raised an arm and yelled, "Hikari is the winner! He will advance onto the next round!"

Hikari sat down next to Hinata. "That was quite easy."

Hinata smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."

Tsunade was already announcing the next pair. "Hinata vs. Naruto"

Hinata gasped. Hikari patted her on the back. "Its okay."

Oh my gosh! That kid has the Kyuubi in him!

Quiet Kasumi.

Grrr. If he does anything to you, I will KILL him.

Why?

Eh. Old grudge. I hate that old pervert.

Hmm….that's nice…..wait pervert??

Quiet.

Hinata stepped up to the stadium.

Naruto rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, Hinata, I never thought I would be battling you. Good luck."

Sakura smirked. "I don't know how much you have grown Hinata, but Naruto has grown a lot. And developed quite some strange jutsus."

Hinata stood, silent. "Good luck Naruto-kun. You'll be needing it."

Naruto smiled. "I should be the one saying that Hinata." he said softly.

"Start!" Tsunade roared. Hinata disappeared.

Naruto's eyes narrowed and he closed his eyes and concentrated hard. But he couldn't sense her at all!

Hinata stood behind Naruto watching with interest at what he would do. Neji sat in the stand, (cause he's already Jounin) and activated his Byakugan.

She was no where. There was no chakra in the ring except for Naruto's. Suddenly Hinata appeared again and flung two kunai experimentally.

Naruto's eyes flew open and he lowered his head and kicked back. A kunai stuck onto his sandal. His eyes widened.

Sakura stared. "Naruto dodges every kunai! Wow such good aiming.."

Hinata smiled. "You're going to have to do much better to beat me." Naruto's eyes narrowed. "I will."

He did some signs and wood appeared and wrapped around d Hinata securing her. But she slipped out. And disappeared appearing behind Naruto and landing a punch right in his back.

Naruto's eyes widened as he was pitched forward, a drip of blood rolling down his chin.

Everyone gasped.

"I'm sorry I have to do this Hinata, but I have to become a Jounin to save Sasuke." he whispered so only Hinata could hear.

Hinata watched, amused at what he would do. He did some unfamiliar signs and suddenly, his body began to glow orange.

He closed his eyes as orange chakra engulfed him and vanished with an explosion. When all the smoke cleared, a 7 feet tall Kyuubi stood where Naruto was standing before. The fox opened its mouth and Naruto's voice came out. "Its better to surrender now."

Hinata laughed. She laughed. And laughed. Everyone was shocked. Her father watched, enraged.

Then she smirked. "I don't think so Naruto."

Come on Kasumi. Let's show them!

Woot! Let's go!

Hinata slammed her palms together and shut her eyes. She disappeared in a whirl of lavender chakra and when she appeared, she was in a form of Kasumi, a dog with 5 tails, each element swirling around each tail.

There was silence. Hinata sat on her hunches and gave Naruto a doggy grin.
