::TPO 23: To Change their Hearts::

All ninjas have their weakness, for example, Naruto and his temper, Sakura and her fangirlism that still did not subside, Sasuke's thirst for power, Kakashi and his books, Kaaru and his childishness. But what was Hinata's weakness? Simple…her nervousness.

It was true that she had conquered her shyness, stuttering and fidgeting but she still couldn't get over her anxiety when there was something big. Oh, how she wished Naruto was here!

She was currently seated in the middle of the Hyuuga council room, the elders looking at her. Hiashi spoke up, "Have you made a decision Hinata?"

Something about his tone surprised Hinata, though it was not obvious, it was softer, gentler even. Hinata swallowed the lump in her throat and said. "Y-yes, I have." She said confidence growing.

Hiashi raised an eyebrow, but not in the condescending way, "So what is it?"

"I have decided to give the title of heiress to Hanabi." Hinata announced.

Hanabi sat in her seat shocked that Hinata gave the title to her, she had spent all week thinking about the her encounter with Hinata, Hanabi looked at the handkerchief, Hinata's prized possession, she had kept it with her at all times, she thought deeply.

The elders looked shocked, "W-wait! Hanabi must decide if she wants too." Hiei said.

Everyone looked at Hanabi expectantly, "Yes I accept." Hanabi said, the elders were pleased at this they knew Hanabi would not meddle in their affairs and they could easily trick her, but what she said next was something no one had expected.

"And when I become clan head, I shall change the Hyuuga clan for the better, I'm going to help Hinata-nee-chan!" Hanabi declared. Hinata looked at her surprised but happy nonetheless, she was slowly getting her sister back, even though it was not much yet, but she would take it one step at a time.

The elders looked mortified by Hanabi's answer. Has Hinata brain washed her too? They looked at Hiashi, surely he would not tolerate this and find a way to fix it.

"Ok then, I therefore declare as Hyuuga Head that Hyuuga Hanabi is now and Hyuuga Hinata is free to do as she wishes." Hiashi announced shocking them all. 'Fa-father?' Hinata thought, everyone was shocked that he would say something like that.

"Hiashi-sama, what is the meaning of this?" Hiei asked.

"I have seen recently that the Hyuuga clan is, as Hinata would put "rotting from the inside" and therefore I will do my best and restore the clan." Hiashi said.

The clan was left speechless after that and they decided to end the meeting. Hinata smiled at Hiashi, Hanabi and Neji.

'It might be small but at least I changed the Hyuuga a little.' Hinata thought wistfully.

Meanwhile, Kaaru and his jounin partner, Kakashi were given some time off so they decided to go to a small town near Konoha, apparently there was a festival on that day.

"Ooooooh! Food!" Kaaru said grabbing Kakashi's hand, pulling him to various food stores, Takoyaki, Teriyaki, Dango, Fried Shrimp, Sushi, Chocolate. Poor Kakashi had to endure it all, carrying the food that Kaaru brought.

After an hour of torture, well for Kakashi's part at least, they finally sat down on one of the benches set out in the town square, Kaaru ate his food happily, while Kakashi kept grumbling about kids and evil food.

"Kakashi! You should try this!" Kaaru said happily, holding a stick of fried squid to Kakashi's mouth. Kakashi looked at it, "No." he said simply.

It seemed Kaaru was a happy person when he ate, he didn't snap at Kakashi or call him Kaka-baka. "C'mon, please???" Kaaru whined.

"No." Kakashi repeated, Kaaru's eyes glinted, "Eat it or else!"

"No." Kakashi said unaffected.

Kaaru pulled down Kakashi's mask, stuffy the squid into his mouth, "Mmmph!" Kakashi said, shocked.

Kaaru whipped out a camera and took a picture of Kakashi's unmasked face. "Bwahahahahahahaha!" Kaaru yelled running away.

"Give me that camera!" Kakashi yelled, pulling up his mask and chased after Kaaru.

"You'll never take me alive!" Kaaru shouted crazily.

Apparently Kaaru had too much chocolate, AGAIN. Kakashi continued to chase Kaaru until he tackled him, "You…pant…will never let anybody see that picture." Kakashi panted, he knew that Kaaru had probably made copies of the picture.

Kaaru smiled and said, "Hehehehehehehe…whatever you say, Kakashi-senpai…"

'Ugh, I swear when this guy eats chocolate, he acts like he's drunk.' Kakashi thought.

"Heeheehee…Hey Kakashi, you have pretty eyes…oops, I mean eye." Kaaru said.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and continued to drag Kaaru to the direction of Konoha, which was still a 24 minutes' walk away.

He suddenly heard a rustling in the trees and jumped away in time with Kaaru as a kunai with an explosive tag embedded itself into the ground and imploded.

Kakashi waved the smoke away and saw the one who threw it, it was that Toyoshi guy. "You! Unhand Kaaru-ooji!" Yuki ordered.

Kakashi looked at Yuki then at Kaaru and then back, "As you can see, he is not in the very best condition." Kakashi pointed out bluntly.

Yuki stared at Kaaru for a while. He sweatdropped, "Uhh…you are the one who did this! You intoxicated Kaaru-ooji and plan to use him in your selfish desires!"

Of course, with Kakashi's perverted mind, a mental image of him doing something umm..ahem, inappropriate to Kaaru registered itself into his mind.

Yuki noticed the dazed look in Kakashi's eye. "Aha! You are planning to do it!" Again, Yuki's innocent statement sounded perverted in Kakashi's ears.

"I won't let you do it!" Yuki said, using his AQUA skills, he grabbed Kaaru. "Hey, don't!" Kakashi yelled, 'Crap, Kaaru's gonna kill me!'

Kakashi ran towards them, he was noticeably faster than Yuki, he grabbed Kaaru and ran away towards Konoha.

Yuki ran after them but when the gates of Konoha appeared, he knew it would be foolish to go after them so he retreated for now.

'Pant…that was close…' Kakashi thought, carrying a unconscious Kaaru to the hospital, 'I wonder if chocolates give hangovers.'
