As I search for the Scent bug, I hear a small yip and Akamaru leaps towards me. I smile and catch him, holding him close.
Kiba jumps down soon after.
"Naruto's found the Scent Bug!" He says hurriedly. My eyes widen.
"Really?!" I ask. Kiba nods and we jump towards base. Yes! We might be able to find Sasuke now!
As we enter the base, I find Naruto, Hinata and Shino gazing at a plastic cage. "I-It layed an egg!" Hinata says excitedly. I smile.
"Good job, Naruto!" I say. Naruto laughs and gives me a cheeky grin.
"Hinata helped me catch it." He says, walink over and patting Hinata's head. Hinata's cheeks turn a bright red and I giggle.
"I-I'm going to go w-wash my face." She says hurriedly, speedwalking in the direction of the nearby river. I laugh, turning to Shino.
"I'll go with her, be right back!" I say, waving as I jog off. I find Hinata at the river, splashing her face.
"Hehe. Hinata, you ok?" I ask, kneeling beside her. She nods and I smile at her, giggling. Suddenly she leaps up and I narrow my eyes, leaning back. A kunai flies past, cutting a single strand of my hair.
"So you avoided that, hm?"

Kiba's POV:

This Scent Bug was super precious. And it looks pretty neat too. Naruto holds the case, peering at the lone egg. We'd released the Scent Bug mother a while ago.
"Hey, haven't Hinata and Kanami been gone a while?" I ask. Shino turns to my from his spot against a tree and Naruto looks up, shrugging.
"Eh. Probably just girl st-Ack!" Naruto leans back as a kunai slams into the tree next to his head.
Shino examines the kunai. "A note?" He says quietly. Naruto and I peer over his shoulder as he unravels the small slip of paper.
We have the Female ninja's. If you wish to see them again, meet us at the ridge tonight. Bring the Scent Bug.

I curse under my breath and Naruto makes a clear point that he isn't happy.
Kanami. Hinata.
Shino turns to us and we begin to devise a plan.

Kanami's POV:

The sticky nectar that covers my mouth labors my breathing as I am carried uncerimoniously by a blond, Kamizuru man. He's quite ugly and rather annoying really. I struggle to free myself from his grasp as he ties a rope around HInata and I and ties us to two seprate pegs over a raging river. Bee's surround us immediatly.
"I wouldn't struggle if I were you. That cave over there, the river leads into it and it's filled with stagmites and stagtalites. If you make any suspicious moves, the bee's will cut the rope." He says. I stop struggling and gaze over at Hinata, who has sadness... yet determination in her eyes. As the Kamizuru Clan members leave, I look around at the bees. 13 at each rope. I narrow my eyes. But I'm practically useless right now! My sharingan cant-

The earth tremors beneath me and I hear a loud crashing noise.
My eyes widen.
What was that?! Hinata's eyes widen and she spares a stealthy look in my direction. She looks me in the eyes and attempts to spell the word quietly so the bee's don't react.
"GuhStuGah." She says quietly. I remember that move anywhere.
Kiba-kun! Whats going on? Whats happening to Shino and the others?!
I suddenly see Hinata's eyes narrow. I feel a surge in her Chakara as she focuses.
What does she intend to do?
I watch with wide eyes as Hinata focuses Chakara into the water and launches it at the bees nearby.
1,2,3,4,5...6,7...8,9,10,11,12 1- No!
Hinata's eyes widen as the last bee cuts her line, sending her downriver. Nectar seeps into my mouth, preventing me from calling out to her. As she speeds into the dark abyss of the cave, I hear a light splitting sound.
"Kanami. I'm ok!" She calls out, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
I sigh internally.
I'm glad. My hair tangles slightly in the rough waters of the river and my eyes sting. I wish I knew a way to get OUT of this nectar!
Suddenly the three Kamizuru members walk back into the clearing, each carrying a lyump of nectar. Two of them land with small 'oof' noises, while the other is silent. I recognise them as my team, and Kiba is passed out.
Kiba! Naruto! Shino! Why I oughta! "Kanami-chan!" Naruto yells. Suddenly the bee's move away from me and fly to the girl, who I assume is the leader. All but 5 that is...

The three converse for a moment before I hear Naruto's voice cut in. This sort of muffled talking continues for a few minuets, as I am unable to see them at the moment and my ears are being blocked by the sound of water. Suddenly I am sent underwater and flipped sideways. I notice a feral look in his eyes that I have only seen once or twice and I know that this should instill fear in Kamizuru Clan mambers.
As expected, the blonde leaps back with a yell of fright. He goes to run for Naruto but is stopped by a kunai launched near his feet. I notice the small paper tied to it and snap my eyes shut, just as a loud explosion follows.
Good Job, Hinata!
