White Eyes

By: Mrs. Kakashi

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I own the right to be royally P.O.ed at my computer...which deleted three of my chapters...so here is my latest!! And by the way, I'm just guessing that Sasuke never got his revenge on Itachi, okay? I'm guessing that once he got to the Sound he was brought back by Shikamaru and the others. I'm also pretending that no one who went to the Sound died...they were all such bishies!

Chapter Nine: Lazy Bored Eyes

It was 10:00 A.M. and Kakashi slowly walked to Team 7's training grounds. It would take him another two hours to get there if he continued at his pace, and normally he would have continued at that terribly slack pace, but not today. Today something important had to be said, because last night something had been done. Something bad, and he knew that his team would want to know about it...In fact, he was so considerate that earlier that morning he went to Tsunade-sama to request that his team search for the missing girl...

He had found out from Iruka earlier that morning that a member of team 8, the shy, cute Hyuuga girl, had been kidnapped the night before...But was gone before anyone could find her. Kurenai, Shino, and Kiba started the search for their teammate the night before, going throughout Konohagakure looking for the girl. After they had searched high and low, they knew that she wasn't in their village. It would be even worse if she was out of the Fire Country...That would mean she was probably...in the Sound!

The Sound was the worse place to be taken to, and not many knew by personal expirience. Though during the Chuunin exams most people laughed at the fact that teams from the Sound had come to compete, thinking that a village so new culd not possibly have good Shinobi, but they were mistaken. Greatly mistaken. They learned that when they found out that Orochimaru was back...the founder of the Sound. He had killed the Fourth...

That was one reason why Kakashi feared for Hinata, but the main reason was worse...Uchiha Itachi, his own comrade's elder brother. He was even stronger than Orochimaru, in fact, Orochimaru said so himself that he feared the young prodigy.

But Kakashi really had no reason to think that the Sound would try and kidnap Hinata. Sure, she was from the Hyuuga clan...But they would have wanted a more powerful specimen...right? Unless...

They knew that they could not capture another Hyuga without a fight. That would have to be it. Why else would the Sound take such a truely weak girl?

But no one had any proof yet that the Sound had taken the girl. Kakashi was just getting ahead of himself as he hopped at amazing speed to Team 7's training grounds. When he got there, he got the usual late-lecture.

"Kakashi-sensei, you're late!!" bellowed Naruto angrily.

"Yeah, and we want an explaination!" agreed Sakura loudly.

"The TRUTH this time!" roared Naruto. But both shut up when they saw a no-nonsence look in their teacher's eyes, the one that was showing, anyway. It wasn't bored-looking like usual. Sure, it was still rather droopy, but it was dead-serious, and his students, even Sasuke, kind of feared it.

"I have bad news and good news." said the teacher boldly. For once, Sasuke was the first to speak before Naruto or Sakura could get a word in edgewise.

"Tell us the bad news." he demanded darkly, still sitting in his brooding postion, the one where he has his hands folded over his face and that stupid, mean look in his dark eyes.

Kakashi figured that if it was Sasuke to answer he would want to bad news. "Of course. Hyuuga Hinata...went missing last night."

Everyone gaped. "What the Hell?! Is that true, sensei?!" Naruto asked, quite shocked. He nodded.

"Who took her?!" Sakura demanded, clearly worried about one of her closest friends...It was true that in such a short time the three of them-Ino, Sakura, and Hinata- had become good friends, and all because of that stupid rumor! Maybe the rumor wasn't so bad, after all, but that currently was at the back of everyone's mind.

"We don't know. No one has any idea....We just hope that she's nearby and safe." Kakashi sighed. It would be so sad if something were to happen to the sweet Hyuga.

"Well what are we waiting for?! Let's go!!" declared Naruto impatiently. Poor Hinata!

"What if Hokage-same doesn't want us to go, dobe?!" Sasuke sneered. Things were getting heated, and Sakura and Kakashi decided not to get involved. Instead, Sakura wanted the rest of whatever Kakashi knew.

"What's the good news, then, Sensei?" she asked innocently.

"The good news is that we were granted permission to go to the Village of the Sand to search for her. Let's get going, guys." Kakashi explained, leading his team through the trees towards the Sand...Each of them eager to get back the girl. Sakura because Hinata was her dear friend, Sasuke because he wanted to see that Gaara guy again (A/N: I dun want Gaara to be dead, so I ain't lettin him be! :P), and Naruto...Naruto had been thinking about Hinata differently lately. He knew it wasn't love....or was it?

To be Continued...

A/N: Sorry it was so short...But it had a lot of information packed in it! XD Like Mrs. Hyuga's brother says, "It's not the boat in the ocean, it's the motion in the ocean"....or something to that affect....XD anyway, I'm applying it here. ^_^ Hope you liked this chapter!
