Part 13-Panic attack

"What's the mission?" Naruto shouted out

"Personally I think Tsunde-sama thinks too highly of us..."

"Why!!!" Naruto was becoming impatient

"This mission is ANBU rank. I would have turned it down, but as Konoha village shinobi, we are obliged to comply..."

"What the hell is the damn mission!?" Naruto shouted

"Infiltration, information gathering, and possibly assassination."

"Where?"

"Hidden cloud village, their Kage has been suspected of wanting to abduct Hyuga Hiashi."

Hinata's eyes suddenly widened, her heart began to beat double speed and her breathing became erratic.

"Probably because they want the secrets of the byakugun, which means they may also want to kill him. It is also suspected that his advisor is the one telling him to break the alliance, if we cannot convince him to stop, we will have to kill him for threatening our county. This may also break out in war…"

Her heartbeat sped up even more. She stared at Shikamaru. Kill… Father…? She prayed what he said wasn't true. She backed up against the wall; her breaths became even shorter. Shikamaru's voice became hazy. She sat in the corner and closed her eyes; shut them tightly. She could barely hear the voices of the people around her asking her if she was alright…

***

She woke up, what seemed to her, a few minutes later. She tried to open her eyes but she couldn't.

"Is she ok?"

"Yeah…" Answered a second voice.

"It looked like a panic attack." Added a third voice

"It was." She spoke up. She reached out for the closest person and pulled herself up. She forced her eyes open and looked around. She was still in Kiba's house, She was sat next to Kiba; opposite her was Shino and Naruto. "How long was I out for?" She blinked a few times to focus in on everyone.

"Two hours…" Shino looked at her, at least she thought he was, she couldn't see his eyes through his glasses, "Shikamaru said they'd wait at the village gates."

"What made you panic like that?" Kiba questioned he

"Hearing about my father…"

"I'm surprised you care." Kiba mentioned under his breath

"He's my father, of course I care."

Naruto suddenly got up and walked out of the room, Hinata looked at him through the window, he looked depressed which was unlike himself.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted, she stood up to get him however he legs buckled under her weight and she fell back opposite where she had been sitting and landed next to Shino.

"Hinata, don't worry about him. What happened to you there?" Kiba further questioned her.

"When I heard that they may want to kill my father for the byakugun… It scared me…"

"Everyone gets scared Hinata." Kiba tried to console her

"You don't understand…" She turned her head away and looked at the floor, "I was scared like I never have been before… I've… I've looked in the face of the person who was about to kill me and never been this scared…" A tear rolled down her cheek, "but th-this scares m-me beyond… beyond anything I've felt before…"

"That's just who you are, you care more about other people than yourself…" Shino stood up and looked out of the window, "earlier, when Sakura punched me…" He was interrupted by a snigger from Kiba, he shot Kiba a dirty look and carried on with what he was saying, "you wouldn't have acted like that if she had punched you, you would have apologised and shrunk away into a corner…"

"Live to protect your precious people…" Hinata mumbled under her breath

"What?" Kiba looked at her in confusion

"Something that Naruto-kun taught me… You two are precious people to me, so I want to protect you…"

"Hinata…" Kiba's face suddenly became serious, "you don't have to do this mission…"

"I don't have to, but I want to."

"You do know that your life is more at risk then anyone else going on this mission, because you have the byakugun. Because you're of the main house the byakugun won't be sealed when you die, so they won't be afraid to kill you… Hinata… Think carefully about this…"

"Kiba-kun…" Hinata stood up and walked to the door, "We're going to be late if we don't hurry…"
