Chap 12
Hinata's Pov
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
I heard some knocking at the door and groaned turning to my right side only to meet with a mane of long blonde hair, tiredly I shook DeiDei-kun gently by the arm but he just grunted before grabbinng the other end of the blanket and wrapping himself in it's warmth leaving me to the cold. I sighed getting up from bed making sure I 'accidently' stumbled on DeiDei-kun making him knit his brows in irritation as he slept.
I yawned rubbing the sleep out of my eyes with one hand and the other scratching my stomach, something I had picked up from my family and looking around the room I wasn't disappointed when I saw almost everyone with one hand on their exposed stomach. I snickered lightly seeing Tobi at the top bunk who had turned on his side and had crossed over to my side and had grabbed a lock of DeiDei-kun hair tugging on it as well as drooling on it... DeiDei-kun wasn't going to be happy when he woke up, I smiled at the thought.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Geez, I'm coming already don't get your panties all up in a bunch" I opened the door with one hand the other still on my stomach, "Sorry I wear boxers but it's nice of you to grace me with your's" I quickly slammed the door upon seeing who it was, "I'll be ready in a few minutes!" I made my way to the bathroom instantly remembering I was going out for the day, I glanced at my calendar and saw the 23rd circled in red. I'm such a dolt but it was Saturday, so no one could really blame me for forgetting.
"You like Pandapple Hinata-chan?" I heard him chuckle outside the door, I blushed self consciously tugging at my oversized shirt hiding my panda printed underwear, "Just come inside and make yourself comfortable but don't wake anyone up" I entered the bathroom as he went and sat himself on the couch.
Normal Pov
Placing a small boquet of lillies on his lap, he was wondering why all Akatsuki were here minus one, in a girl's dorm but maybe he'd ask her about it later. She came out of the bathroom and was in a black hoodie without sleeves along with black shorts with little red clouds on the back pockets, she looked really cute... He smiled making his way to her and handing her the flowers, "Why are you all dressed up, there's no special occasion"
"Yes it is, since it's your 17th birthday today!" she said walking into the bathroom to put the flowers into some water, "Hn, so you remembered?" trying to keep his voice normal even though he was surprised at this, 'So that's why she wanted to go out all of a sudden' no one knew what today was except Naruto and his brother but how was it she knew? She smiled exiting the bathroom and heading for the door, "Where do you want to go?" she asked but he only shrugged so she smiled, "I know just where to go"
"Where?"
"To a nearby town" he nodded satisfied with her choice, as they headed out the door he was suddenly pulled into the room again. "Sasuke" so his brother was living with her as well, just wonderful... Simply wonderful...
"What do you want?" Sasuke growled.
"I want you to take care of her, if she gets hurt in any way I swear I'll-"
"You'll what?"
"I'll kill you" the eldest sneered causing Sasuke to flinch at his brother's tone, they stayed like that glaring at eachother until Hinata came in. "Hey Sasuke-kun you coming or not?" he nodded to her as he followed her out the door, "Have fun you two... And Sasuke?" he looked over his shoulder at his brother "I'm watching you" Sasuke only smirked before flipping his brother off and walking away with Hinata.
They were already outside of the school building and were heading out to the gates in the front, Hinata had brought a light backpack to carry all her things. "Hinata-chan how are we gonna get to that town?"
She didn't answer but kept on going until she reached the entrance to the school, she showed him the red bicycle leaning to the side...
As soon as they had left Itachi threw a shoe up at the top bunk hitting a certain blonde, "Hey, what the heck is the big idea un!?" shouted Deidara causing everyone to wake up just like the Uchiha wanted, "Everyone get dressed we're going out" he said pulling on a pair of black cargo pants over his red cloud printed black boxers then a black shirt, the rest of them doing the same.
"Where to?" asked the red headed Akatsuki member.
"To town"
"Town, why there un?" he cringed as he combed over his bed head.
"Yeah Itachi, are we going on another assignment?" the tallest of them questioned strapping a large sword on his back.
"No we're going to tail behind Nata and her... Date" he replied before sighing and mentally counting down in his head...
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
"What Nata's goind out with some loser!?" Deidara shouted so loud the walls practically shook.
"Yes" he cleaned out his throbbing ear with his pinky.
"Who's the loser with Hina-hime?" jumping off the top of the bed, Tobi landed next to Deidara who instantly punched him into the wall after finding the wet substance in his hair as he was brushing it.
"The loser is my brother, now let's go before we lose them" with that Itachi made his way out of the room, the others following close behind.
They got food along the way, some toast or an apple either one would suffice but as they walked through the halls they hadn't expected to bump into anyone, especially him...
Gaara had been in the cafeteria eating ramen and right after paying he had turned in his stool only to find the Akatsuki pass by, they looked like they were going somewhere but usually he wouldn't care but maybe it had something to do with Hinata? He blushed and with that in mind he followed after them.
"Where are you guys going off to?" he asked walking along side the fellow redhead 'Anything about Hinata-chan?'
"Were going to spy on Nata and her date" replied Sasori nonchalantly, Gaara stopped in midstep his mind going blank...
"Hinata's on a date?" he managed to say after getting out of his shock, there's no way!
Sasori only nodded as he bit into his apple, "She went with Itachi's little brother, you know the one with the hair shaped like a chicken's ass?"
"You mean Sasuke?!" he couldn't believe it, his Hinata went off with that prick? There's no way he'd let that happen, "I'm coming with you" Sasori nodded not really caring as he adjusted his earpiece "You better keep up I've just got word from Itachi that they're traveling by bike" both redheads nodded to eachother before setting off and catching up with the rest who were slightly ahead.
---
"Would you mind if I was in the front" he asked hoping she'd let him since it'd be pretty awkward the other way around, luckily for him she shrugged and latched her arms around his waist making him blush slighty at the feel of her against his back. She told him the directions and they arrived after only 10 minutes passed, without the knowledge that they were being followed.
They stopped at a small dango shop for lunch and the Akatsuki plus a slightly panting Gaara had dove into the bushes at a close distance so they could watch and listen without being caught. Hinata was eating the dango at a fast pace but Sasuke had just ordered a glass of water, "You don't want any Sasuke-kun?" she asked while placing another empty stick of dango onto the plate before grabbing another, Sasuke smirked before holding her wrist and bringing the stick of dango to his lips and biting off from the piece she had just bitten into.
"Is it good?" he nodded "Yeah but I don't have much of a sweet tooth" she tilted her head to the side cutely "Then why did you eat some of mine?" he shrugged "I just wanted to see what you tasted like" she blushed a bright red before giggling "What did I taste like then?"
"Delicious" he licked his lips to prove his point, "Is Hinata-chan nice enough to give me another taste though?" he whispered leaning closer but stopped at the sound of rustling from the bushes, he ignored it and stood up offering her his hand as he being the gentleman he was paid for the meal before they walked out to look around the town more.
"Idiot, if you're going to spy on her with us control yourself" Itachi frowned upon Gaara who was still ticked that Sasuke had flirted with her but he reluctantly nodded, they set off after the two again hiding within the shadows Gaara slightly lagging trying to get his thoughts straight.
"Look a playground!" Hinata ran ahead of Sasuke and sat herself on the swing, going higher and higher with each swing of her legs, "Get on the one next to me Sasuke-kun" she shouted causing him to smirk and join her on the one beside her but even as he watched her and tried to do what she was doing he just wouldn't move, "You need some help Sasu-chan?" he blushed and pouted when she appeared behind him.
"No" he said stubbornly but couldn't argue when she pushed him and was already half way into the air, the wind blew at his face and he actually seemed to like the feeling. "Just swing your legs and you'll do fine" she gasped as he swung his legs forward but forgot to hold onto the bars making him fall of the seat and to the ground, landing face first into the sand "Sasuke!"
Gaara took a deep breathe calming himslef as he watched her run over to Sasuke's side but wanting to get a better look he moved from his spot behind the tree and behind a bush, hitting against something hard...
"What the heck can't you see that this is my hiding sp-"
"Kiba?" said boy stopped his shouting enough to recognize him, "What the hell, Gaara?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Tell me what you're doing here first!?"
They heard someone clear their throat, "Why don't you both tell me what you're doing here" she smirked at their shocked faces.
"We were bird watching, yep me and Gaara here were bird watching" Kiba slung an arm over Gaara as if they were the best of pals, she giggled and turned to Gaara "Is this true Gaara-kun?"
He swallowed the lump in his throat, "No..." Kiba looked at him in disbelief before sighing in defeat and dropping both hands to his sides.
"It's true Hina-hime we were spying on you, I'm so sorry please find it in your heart to forgive me!!" Tobi bawled jumping from his spot in the tree and getting down on his knees in front of her, Deidara soon jumped down from the same tree along with Sasori.
"Baka un!" Deidara smacked him on the head before he was hit on the head by Sasori, "You both are idiots"
Hinata giggled "So you guys finnaly decided to show yourself?"
"Wait, you knew?" Gaara looked at her, surprised when she nodded but he frowned when Deidara wrapped an arm around her waist and one over Sasori's shoulders who sighed. "What do you expect from one of the Akatsuki especially..."
Hinata eyes widened before blushing and whispering to Sasori "Does he really expect us to do 'you know what'?" he replied with a nod.
Deidara looked at them expectantly but only saw them hang their heads down obviously not wanting to do it but he just grinned deciding it was goo enough and letting his hold on them go and taking a spot between them.
Hinata sighed before placing her index finger to her bottom lip as she winked, "Hinata Akatsuki's red!" all of them blushed at this.
Sasori crossed his arms and winked as well, "Sasori Akatsuki's... Blue!" somewhere in the area five girls swooned and fell to the floor out cold.
Deidara being in the middle was crouching with both hands on his knees, "Deidara Akatsuki's Gold and together we are..."
"Akatsuki's Amazing Three!" they said in unison.
A light clapping could be heard from Tobi before Itachi hit him on the head then Kiba and Kisame burst out laughing holding onto eachother from laughing so hard, Gaara biting his lip and Sasuke pinching his arm both trying to keep from laughing. At the moment Sasori was in Hinata's face, "I am Akatsuki red and you're blue..." she pouted "But I want to be red, it sounds so much cooler than blue" Sasori smirked, "Yep, that's why you get blue since I'm so much better than you" he stuck his tongue out at her making her blush and puff out her cheeks "No I am to better than you and I'll prov-"
"Nata where is my idiot of a brother?" Itachi cut in causing her eyes to widen and run back to the swingset where she thought poor Sasuke would still be, "There's no need for that Hinata-chan since I'm already here" he chuckled pushing himself from his spot against a nearby tree and walking over to them, "Gee Sasuke-kun, I'm really sorry for leaving you like that"
"It's okay, since you had some business to take care of" he was glaring at both Gaara and Kiba as he said this, who returned it with their own.
"Oh yeah, why were you stalking us?" grinned the blushing Hyuuga eyeing both Gaara and Kiba, with a knocked out Sasori behind her and Tobi sitting on the poor guy while Deidara poked him with a stick he had picked up off the ground... 'Hehe, I am and always will be red' she snickered at her win.
"We wanted to know if what they said was true!" Kiba looked at her with pleading eyes while she cocked her head to the side "What was true?"
"That you were together with chicken butt... I mean Sasuke" Gaara murmured quietly but yet she had still heard bringing a mischevious smile onto her face "So Kiba-kun and Gaara-kun were jealous?"
They blushed "N-no we were just worried cause who knows what kind of things he could do to you!" Kiba shouted his head held down but Hinata just smiled ruffling both their heads.
"Hey what was that for?"
"I'm not five years old anymore, I can take care of myself" they blushed, she definitely wasn't five anymore with those curves...
"Also... Gaara-kun, Kiba-kun?" they snapped out of their little fantasies.
"Yeah?" she turned around pointing an accusing finger at them "It's Sasuke-kun's 17th birthday and have you guys even congratulated him yet?"
"W-wait it's your birthday?!" Kiba shouted practically ripping his hair out, "So this isn't a date?" both Sasuke and Gaara asked Hinata blushed "A date, with Sasuke-kun... Is that what you guys thought?"
All of them nodded except Tobi who shook his head 'no' until being hit by Deidara "Don't lie un!" Tobi then nodded his head up and down frantically afterwards.
"Hmm, what if it was a date?" she smirked at their shocked faces "I'm just joking" all of them sighed in relief while Sasuke held his head down in dismay.
"So what do we do now un?"
"I know, let's go get some ice cr-"
"Itachi..." a man with several piercings on his face appeared behind Itachi handed him an envelope before disappearing.
Itachi opened the letter and read it's contents, he looked up a bugged look on his face, "Guys we've just recieved a mission"
Deidara pumped a fist into the air "Yes a mission, about time too!"
'A mission?' was the same thoughts that ran through both Sasuke and Gaara's mind but Kiba looked as pale as a sheet, "What kind of mission is it, what rank?" he almost shouted.
Hinata looked at him worriedly but Sasori paid her no heed, "It's B-rank"
"Hina you can't go on that mission, it could be dangerous!"
"Well of course it is, since it's B-rank duurr" Sasori elbowed the blonde "Shut up, this has nothing to do with us"
Hinata stared into Kiba's eyes then into Gaara's and Sasuke's before sighing, "I'm still going but you guys can follow behind closely, I wanna to prove I'm more than capable of taking care of myself" she grinned giving them a thumbs up before turning to Itachi and saluting to him, "What's the mission boss man?" he chuckled lightly at her cuteness.
"Our mission is to kill two former members of Akatsuki for acts of treason, Kakuzu and Hidan"
"Treason, them? I never really expected that from those two" she said her head down while Gaara and the others were still in shock of such a mission.
Deidara put both hands behind his head as he leaned against a tree "What do you think they did un?"
"Hn, it says here that they've been having meetings with Hebi's members, Kabuto, about Nata's whereabouts in exchange for money" Hinata's eyes glazed over, upon remembering the name 'H-hebi?' an image of a young man with shockingly white hair and teal eyes appeared in her mind smiling at her and brushing away a strand of her hair from her face...
"Those bastards un!" She gasped breaking out of her train of thought, glad no one noticed her weird behavior.
"I've got to agree, let's kill them"
"Yeah for Hina-hime!"
She smiled, "Poor Hidan, Kakuzu probably dragged him into this" Akatsuki looked at her confused and she just sighed, "Hidan's not smart enough but Kakuzu is and he likes money too so it's most likely he's behind all this"
"Oh I get you Hina-hime, it's like Sasori and Deidara"
Sasori lifted a brow, "What the heck are you saying?"
"Yeah Tobi's right, I'm like Kakuzu and the idiot is Sasori un!" he grinned while Sasori bit down a growl.
Hinata giggled at their actions and patted Sasori on his back comfortly, "Just let him have his moment Sasori-kun" he smirked taking her hand in his, "Only if you do one thing for me" she blushed then glared at him 'this better not be some kind of trick... again' As if reading her mind he folded a few of her fingers except her index and made a cross mark on his chest "It's not a trick, I swear" he chuckled at her pink face "Spill whatever you want and we'll see if I say yes or no"
"Hn, okay be my partner for today's mission" smirking at the thrown off look she gave him he made another cross on his chest with her finger again, "Cross my heart Nata" he said in sing song voice.
"Wait what!? Hina-hime is my partner!" Tobi pouted pissed before tugging at Itachi's shirt, "Can I hurt Sasori?" Itachi thought about it for a moment, "No, it's Nata's choice" Tobi nodded crossing his fingers and toes 'Please let Hina-hime still be my partner'
"Okay but only for this mission" smiling apologetically to Tobi and giving a small nod to Itachi who only smirked then waved his hand forward signaling to them to move out along with Sasuke and the others.
'Let the mission commence!' she thought excited as she flexed her fingers as they ran a strange wild gleam in her eyes...
