CHAPTER 2
KONOHA HOSPITAL 10:00PM
OoO
Hinata sighed; she had arrived to the hospital quickly. She was now waiting for the doctor. Sabaku-san was also there, she looked at him, his arms were crossed and he was looking at a nearby window. She inwardly thanked the red head; at least she was safe now.
The door opened and Hinata shifted her attention to the door and the female doctor that had just entered the room. She looked like she was in her late forties and actually looked quite mad about something. The doctor slammed her bags to a nearby desk while she muttered something inaudible. She hastily unzipped her bag and took out a small stethoscope wrapped it on her neck and walked towards Hinata.
Hinata looked nervously at the doctor. This doctor was actually scaring her. "Please sit over here." The doctor pointed a bed nearby. Hinata hastily sat down. "So you say that you broke your wrist. Let me see it, then." Hinata raised her hand a little. The doctor examined it briefly. "It seems that your right wrist is only a bit dislocated. I'll put on an immobilizer so that you can avoid hurting your wrist and tendons. You'll be fine in a week or two." She finally declared.
Phew. - Hinata inwardly sighed. She was relieved, it was only dislocated. She'd be fine. Hinata watched as the doctor scribbled something hastily in her desk. Hinata could see the doctor was still mad about something, because she was gripping the pencil quite tightly.
Demo- She looked at her wrist, what excuse could she give Kurenai-sensei and Neji-nii-san? Her sensei would probably believe her, but Neji… Neji would notice her awkward behavior almost immediately. Neji-nii-san knew her better than anyone. But she couldn't tell Neji… It was all her fault, after all. She should've known Sasuke would be get upset if she wore it. Why did she always have to cause trouble? Her eyes watered a bit, as she fought to hold the tears back. Hinata looked at the Sand Nin; it wasn't fair to keep him waiting for her, either. She looked at his feet and bowed lightly: "Arigatou Sabaku-san, it's alright if you want to leave now. I'll be fine…"
Gaara looked at her one more time, nodded, and left the room.
Hinata heaved a sigh as the doctor approached her.
OoO
KONOHA ANNUAL FESTIVAL 10:30 PM
Ino entered the Ichiraku Ramen in a hurry. Looking at the stand for a while before approaching a certain Jounin. "Shikamaru! I can't find Hinata!" she looked distressed.
"Oi, Ino she's fine. I met her before she left." Shikamaru lied. It was too troublesome to explain things that even he couldn't understand.
" Ah…" She sighed relieved as she sat besides her two teammates.
"What would you like today Ino?" Ayame asked the blonde.
"Nothing really… I'm on a diet." Ino grinned.
Ayame looked at her disappointed.
"I see… so the baka genius kid is here, right?" A certain Sand Jounin interrupted the silence as she entered the Ramen Stand and looked around. Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji looked back at the loud jounin.
"Temari." Shikamaru sighed.
"Baka! Long time no see!" Temari grinned.
Ino watched the Sand Jounin curiously, as the blonde woman greeted Shikamaru. Hadn't she been the one that had beaten TenTen? The one Shikamaru had lost to?
"Chouji." Ino poked her teammate. "Isn't she that scary girl that beat TenTen?"
"Hai." Chouji whispered at Ino and bit his last potato chip.
Ino clenched her fists as she saw the Sand Nin get closer to Shikamaru. The Sand girl took a seat besides the young Nara and Naruto.
How dare she!- Ino's vein popped as she narrowed her eyes. She wasn't going to let that Sand Jounin get Shikamaru's attention. Ino tilted forward on her seat and glared at Temari intently. The Sand Jounin just shrugged and smirked.
Ino's eye twitched. So she really wanted war, huh? That Sand Jounin didn't know who she was messing with. Their eyes met again, both girls glaring at each other violently. -
"More!" Naruto smiled as he held his empty bowl up.
Ino took advantage of this situation, since everyone was already staring at Naruto's pile of empty ramen bowls. Not even Chouji's pile could compare to Naruto's. She smirked as she took hold of Shikamaru's left arm swiftly.
"Shikamaru, why don't we cross the bridge now?" Ino said in her sweetest voice as she made her famous, pleading, puppy eyes.
"Iie… Ino that'd be too troublesome." He declared as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Nani?" She glared at Shikamaru, barely resisting the urge to break his neck.
Temari smirked as she fluttered her eyes. "Shikamaru, wouldn't you go with me?"
"Iie…" He declined. "Anyways Temari, what are you doing here?"
Temari almost fell from his seat. "Don't you know? The Test! The teamwork test!" she cried out loud.
"Teamwork test?" Naruto ears perked. "Ano-sa, Ano-sa What's that?"
"Baka!" Temari poked at Shikamaru. "Are you sure that all Konoha shinobis aren't bakas?"
Shikamaru sighed. "They're some test that Chuunins have to take in order to get promoted. Just like the Chuunin exam for Genins. The only difference is that your team will not consist of people from your same Village. They're chosen randomly. That's why it's called The Teamwork Test. To become a Jounin you must have superb Teamwork skills. You'll need to complete a month of missions to pass the first test; the second test consists of fighting together as a team and winning against other teams. After that, well you already know, the best of the best are chosen to be Jounins. "
"Yay! I'm going to be a Jounin soon!" Naruto shouted. "Ayame-chan, More!" Naruto pointed at the empty bowl.
"So, when is this test, Temari?" Sakura asked.
"Starting this Monday, they'll be assigning the teams. I'll be a Jounin Captain this year so Shikamaru, you better start praying that your team won't loose against mine." Temari grinned as she looked at Shikamaru.
Shikamaru sighed…-So this was what Asuma-sensei had been bragging about all week. Asuma-sensei had been chosen to become the judge for the exam. How could he forget, he mentally slapped himself. He was also in this mess. That Old Lady Tsunade…. -
OoO
KONOHA HOSPITAL 11:00 PM
Hinata sat in the hospital bed. The doctor had ordered her to take some painkillers, and they were already making her feel drowsy. Thankfully, the hospital had agreed to let her stay for tonight. She smiled a bit; at least she wouldn't face Neji or Kurenai sensei, today. Hinata yawned as she removed her shoes. She laid on the bed and pulled the sheets up so that they covered her entirely. Her mind wandered for a bit… Would Naruto have noticed her if she stayed? She then shook her head remembering the incident. She suddenly felt very guilty, and decided it was better for her to sleep now. Yes, she'd better sleep now… Hinata closed her eyes.
OoO
KONOHA ANNUAL FESTIVAL – THE BAR 12:00 PM
"Kuso! Kankurou! You're too heavy!" Temari tried to get his brother to stand up. "I swear I'm never leaving you unattended again!"
Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji and Naruto laughed at Kankurou. Sakura just stood there sickened by the view.
Shikamaru sighed. -Kankurou really hadn't changed at all. He still had that love for strong liquor. Kankurou usually ended up like this, and Temari usually carried him around. Demo, it wasn't fair for a woman to carry a man around.-
"Here let me help." Shikamaru held his left arm, and Temari held Kankurou's right. Both pulled him up. "He's heavy; Oi haven't you ever told him that?" Shikamaru protested.
"Of course, I have!" Temari shouted back.
OoO
KONOHA HOSPITAL 1:00 A.M.
Uchiha Sasuke watched the sleeping girl. -Kuso! Would it be too risky to wake her up? Would she scream for help? He asked himself. He wanted to know, but if he got caught here he really didn't want to think the consequences. But, then again, this girl wasn't any girl. She probably wouldn't shout or scream for help. Her otou-san had taught her absolute obedience. He shuddered at the thought. Sasuke really never liked the old man. He treated Hinata like a mere object; Itachi had said that once too. He shook his head trying to forget what he had just said.-
Anyways, it was clear that Hinata wouldn't trouble or hurt other people. Sasuke shrugged… And he had never heard Hinata scream before, not even when they were kids. He took one step forward; if she tried to scream, he'd just cover her mouth.-
"Hinata" He whispered as he sat in the bed and shook her softly.
Hinata opened her eyes slowly, as she looked and recognized who had woken her up; she backed as far as she possibly could.
"Hinata, who gave that to you, answer me?" Sasuke moved closer.
"G-gomen, Gomen Sasuke-senpai…I…" She apologized. Hinata gripped the sheets tightly. Sasuke was too close.
"Just answer me." He whispered angrily as he activated the Sharingan. She closed her eyes as she backed trying to set some distance between them. "I-itachi…" she whispered.
"Give it to me." Sasuke demanded.
"I-ie…" She gathered her courage to whisper the single word.
"Give it to me." He demanded with his intimidating voice.
"Iie…" Hinata grabbed the ornament, which she had hidden under the pillow, and gripped it firmly. She wasn't going to let anyone have it, not even Sasuke.
"Baka!" he hissed. Sasuke grabbed her hand and attempted to retrieve the ornament. Hinata clutched it as hard as she could, but she was still no match for the angrier Uchiha. In no time he had the ornament in his hand and was looking at it. Sasuke, then, crushed the tiny object with his hand, walked towards the window and threw the shattered ornament.
Hinata widened her eyes as she felt her anger rise. Her hair clip, her treasure, why had Sasuke done such a thing! She felt like crying and she did, but silently.
Sasuke looked at the girl one more time before leaving and giving a final warning: "Hinata, you shouldn't be dwelling in the past."
OoO
SASUKE'S APARTMENT 1:30 AM
"Kuso!" -That Itachi had really given it to her! Our family's treasure, our clan's pride…." The damn ornament was probably worth more than the entire Uchiha estate. That damn thing reminded him of his family. He smirked, but it was over now, the one thing that represented Itachi's will in Konoha… He had crushed it; Sasuke wanted everything his brother had possessed destroyed. That object was the last thing on his list. He never expected Hinata to have it and protect it. Demo, even if Hinata had admitted that Itachi had given it to her, there was still a question that plaguing his mind. Why? If he was going to leave; why not sell the damn thing? Why give it to Hinata, if you were going to slay the whole clan? If he recalled correctly, both of them had both received their heirlooms one week before the Uchiha tragedy…. -
OoO
"Kaa-san!" Sasuke smiled at his mother and tugged her kimono. They were going out to celebrate Itachi's promotion to an ANBU captain. His father had picked a quiet and expensive restaurant to celebrate. Sasuke looked at his father, who was leading the family towards the restaurant, and then looked at Itachi who was behind the family. Sasuke really wanted his nii-san and his otou-san to speak to each other again, and Sasuke had a feeling this could be the night.
They followed the waiter towards the private room that her mother had reserved a few days earlier. His otou-san sat down and ordered their meals, without even waiting for the rest of the family. Itachi took the seat furthest from his father and glared at his father when he sat down. Sasuke and his mother sat down silently. Tension filled the room when the waiter left. The uncomfortable silence was interrupted by his mother, a few moments later.
"Itachi, your father and I are very proud of your accomplishments." She said smiling. "Being the captain of ANBU at such a young age… Itachi, congratulations."
Itachi nodded at this comment as Sasuke crossed his arms. Her mother smiled again as she brought her hands up to her neatly arranged hair bun, and pulled her two elaborate and identical hair clips. Sasuke watched as her long, black hair reached her waist. Sasuke loved her mother's long hair.
"Itachi, Sasuke I want you to have these." She spoke as she handed them the ornaments. Itachi took his gift and examined it. Sasuke mimicked his brother's actions.
"I was going to wait until you two were older, but it seems that you two have grown so much..." She smiled. "It's the Uchiha clan's heirloom; I expect both of you to give it to your wives just like your father did." She looked at his husband and smiled.
"Itachi-nii-san? Are you going to give it to Hinata?" Sasuke looked at his brother.
"Not yet. I'll give it to her when she's older." Itachi spoke for the first and last time that night.
OoO
"Kuso!" Sasuke clenched his fists. -He never expected Hinata to wear the damn thing, and much less protect it. Demo, did she still like Itachi? It had always angered him; when they were little Hinata would always prefer Itachi. He tightened his fists again. Why, why did she prefer Itachi? No matter how hard he tried to get her attention, she always looked at Itachi first. Even, when Itachi had left… She was already interested in someone else… that dobe… Uzumaki Naruto. -
OoO
SUNDAY KONOHA HOSPITAL
"Hinata-sama? Daijoubou?" Neji asked.
"Hai, Neji-nii-san…" She smiled.
"Are you sure, you're alright Hinata?" TenTen interrupted.
"You sure don't look to well." Lee commented.
"Um… Hai, I'm fine. The doctor says it's only dislocated, I'll be fine in a week or two. " She forced herself to smile a little. She really didn't want to tell anyone about it... Why had he? She tried to keep her tears from falling.
"Hinata-sama…" Neji said sternly.
Hinata looked down in shame; she already knew what he was going to say. Neji could read her like an open book. Even without using his Byakugan, Neji was an expert reading people's feelings.
"If Hiashi-sama knew about this, he wouldn't be too happy with it." Neji looked at Hinata who said nothing. "Hinata-sama you must tell me… who did this to you?"
Lee and TenTen looked at each other not believing what Neji had just said. Nobody would want to hurt Hinata, right?
"Neji-nii-san, please don't tell otou-san about this, onegai." Hinata pleaded. "If otou-san knew he might…"
"Hinata-sama, I see you haven't learned… You are still too compassionate." Neji shook his head and sighed. "If that is what you really want Hinata-sama, I have no choice but to comply."
"Arigatou, Neji-nii-san." She looked up at her cousin.
"I guess Hinata won't be able to participate in the upcoming Jounin exam." Lee looked at her.
"The next Jounin exam…" Hinata looked at Lee. -Was that why Sabaku-san was here?-Hinata wondered.
Cough- Lee called for everyone's attention. He always liked to explain things like this. "Well, we're supposed to be paired with the Shinobis from the Sand and do missions with them for a month. Then the best teams are supposed to fight against each other." He paused. "Now that you will no longer be my team mate, I can fight without holding back. I can't wait! I'm going to beat you this time Neji." Lee said happily.
Neji scoffed and shook his head and TenTen shrugged.
"I want to participate too." Hinata spoke up.
"Hinata-sama, don't be foolish. You can't move your right hand." Neji looked at her wrist immobilizer.
"I-ie, I'll be fine, nii-san. I'll be ok in a week or two. It's not like my wrist is broken or anything." Hinata looked at her nii-san. "I can still move my left hand."
"Hinata-sama, please stop trying to be brave." Neji said.
"Gomen, Neji-nii-san but this is something I must do." Hinata spoke unwaveringly.
"Hinata-sama." He sighed and shook his head. Hinata smiled widely.
OoO
MONDAY
KONOHA HOKAGE'S ANNOUNCEMENT –THE TRAINING BEGINS-
The rookie nine and Gai's team minus the now Jounin Shikamaru looked at the seven Sand Nins in front of them. They were all positioned in front of each other. Hinata looked at the Sand Nins they were few but they all looked very strong and intimidating. She didn't dare to look at the older sand shinobis; but she could feel the glares that they were giving them. She looked at Gaara and Kankurou for a moment before looking away; even though they were the youngest shinobis, they still seemed to be the strongest from the sand village.
The Hokage and the Konoha and Sand jounins arrived. The Konoha jounins and the Sand Jounin walked towards their students and positioned themselves in front of them. The Hokage began her announcement hastily: "Alright, So, I guess most of you probably know about this exam. So I'll be brief. There are six teams; each must participate in special missions assigned for a month. The teams that have the highest level of efficiency will compete against each other. Those that are considered the best will be ascended to a jounin level. Baki-sama, Shizune… if you would do me the favor. The Hokage pointed at the boxes. The teams will be picked out randomly. You'll have to pick a paper from that box. Take a step forward when we call your number.
Hinata watched as they all took a paper from the little brown box. After a few moments. Shizune passed by her, she picked a paper from the box, and looked at the number… three. -She was going to be in team number three; she wondered who else was in team three. Hinata hoped Naruto or Neji would be on her team this time, but if she got Sasuke…. She'd consider retiring right away. She looked at the Sand Nins, considering their numbers… five teams would have one sand shinobi, and the last team would consist of two sand shinobis and one Konoha shinobi. She really hoped she got Kankurou or Gaara; the other Sand Chuunins were old and scary. - Her thoughts were interrupted as the last in each line picked the remaining paper from the box.
"Ok." Tsunade called for their attention.
"Team 1.Your Jounin captain will be Kakashi" Sasuke, Neji, and Kankurou took a step forward. Hinata smiled relieved. –At least she wasn't going to be with Sasuke. –
"Team Two. Your Jounin Captain will be Temari." Ino, Shino, and a Female Sand Nin stepped forward. Ino glared at Temari.
"Team Three Your Jounin Captain will be Shikamaru…"Hinata swallowed hard as she stepped forward and looked at her other companions…. Naruto, who was smiling widely and Gaara, who had crossed his arms, Hinata smiled at them.
"Team Four Your Jounin Captain will be Gai." Lee, Chouji and a mean looking sand shinobi stepped forward. Lee and Gai showed their traditional nice guy pose to everyone. Chouji looked depressed; he was going to exercise….
"Team Five your Jounin Captain will be Kurenai." Kiba, Sakura and a blacked haired Sand Nin stepped forward, while Sakura sighed loudly.
"Team Six Your Jounin Captain will be Baki." The remaining Sand Nins and TenTen stood up." Everyone noticed TenTen's sad look.
"You're dismissed." Tsunade took a look at all the teams and began to walk away.
"HINATA-CHAN!" Naruto smiled. "I'm glad we're on the same team."
Hinata blushed. "Hai Naruto-kun." She looked at the ground as one of her feet began to move in a circular motion. She widened her smile a bit.
"Oi, this sure is troublesome." Shikamaru interrupted and then smiled. "However, I do think I have the strongest team out there."
"Yay!" Naruto jumped happily in his spot. "This time I'm going to beat Sasuke for sure."
"Demo, I must remind you that teamwork is an important part of this test." Shikamaru looked at Naruto.
"Hai. Shikamaru-sensei!" Naruto laughed. Hinata smiled at Shikamaru who upon seeing her smile, smiled at the comment too.
"Oi, you sure are troublesome." Shikamaru shook his head.
Gaara approached them after a few moments. "Gaara let's beat them!" Naruto asked his huge smile still plastered in his face.
"Hn…" The red-haired said emotionlessly.
Shikamaru and Hinata looked at each other curiously and grinned. With these two on the team and her Byakugan, there was no way that they would loose. She smiled inwardly, she was very lucky to have gotten such an exceptional team.
OoO
"Ano-sa, Ano-sa, let me see the list!" Naruto tried to peak at the papers Shikamaru was carrying.
"Iie… That would be too troublesome." Shikamaru stopped Naruto from reading the papers as he examined them quietly. "Let's see, your first mission… comes from your previous sensei, Naruto."
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto's eyes twinkled in anticipation. Gaara and Hinata just stood there watching Shikamaru announce the rest of the mission.
"Oi, it seems he paid extra for it too!" Shikamaru said.
"Really! What is it?" Naruto looked anxious and rubbed his hands together.
"It seems that he wants you to walk his dogs." Shikamaru said calmly.
"Nani?" Naruto exploded and brought his arms to his forehead. "I hate those dogs!"
"Oi, how boring… Naruto, let's get this done before it gets late." Shikamaru sighed and began to walk.
Hinata looked at the discouraged Naruto and then at the silent Gaara. Gaara eyed her right arm, even though she had covered her wrist immobilizer with her jacket, it still seemed to be obvious. She blushed, she never liked attention. Naruto began to walk slowly and she followed with Gaara tagging along. It looked like her teammates wouldn't enjoy the mission at all.
OoO
Hinata carried Pak-kun with her left arm. She could understand Naruto now; Kakashi's dogs were extremely pampered. Especially, the small Pak-kun that she was carrying, right now. She giggled. He had asked for ice cream, some treats, two bottles of shampoo, a conditioner, a bottle of perfume, some massaging, and a walk on the park… She looked back at Naruto, Gaara and the young Nara. Gaara and Naruto walked three dogs each; the dogs that Naruto was walking dragged him all over the place while he shouted at them; while the dogs Gaara walked looked too scared to try anything. Shikamaru had his hands in the back of his head and looked at the clouds as he smiled.
She had been extra lucky to have such a good jounin-captain. Shikamaru had forbidden Hinata from walking the larger troublesome dogs. He probably knew about her wrist, not every jounin captain would have done that. Not saying that she wasn't thankful that Gaara and Naruto didn't complain about it.
As Hinata looked around she noticed Neji pulling some weeds from a nearby garden. "Neji-nii-san!" She waved happily as she stood from the other side of the small fence.
"Hinata-sama. Is your arm hurting you?" He stood up and cleaned his hands a bit by rubbing them.
"Iie. Neji-nii-san." Hinata smiled. She was very happy with her new team. "How's your new team?" she asked.
"It's fine, they're giving pretty easy missions though." Neji pointed at the dog Hinata held.
"Hai." She giggled and looked back at her other teammates who were still quite far away.
"Hyuuga. You better not be slacking off." A threatening voice behind her interrupted their conversation. Hinata widened her eyes when she saw the younger Uchiha there. She clenched her fists a little, but her legs shook in fear.
Neji noticed this, but said nothing. Instead he glared at the Uchiha and began to pull weeds again.
Hinata slowly backed away not daring to look at Sasuke in the eye. She didn't want to see him, ever. Why had he done it? It belonged to her after all… Itachi, Itachi had given it to her. She stared at the ground intently, her frown perceptible.
"Oi, Hinata! We finally caught up!" Shikamaru breathed heavily. Gaara and Naruto were running there too. Well, more like Gaara was walking hastily, though.
"Shikamaru… why did you begin to…?" Naruto heaved. "Bastard!" He suddenly said pointing at Sasuke. "This time I will beat you! Mark my words I will become Hokage."
"Che." Sasuke scoffed.
Hinata backed away and hid behind her teammates. Gaara glared at Sasuke evilly, while Shikamaru stared at Sasuke, a little less intently.
Neji stopped and looked at Shikamaru and the Sand Nin, so… they knew too? That Uchiha, he closed his fists, he'd get him when the time was right. No one should mess with the Hyuugas, much less with Hinata.
Gaara looked at Hinata from the corner of his eyes while still glaring at the Uchiha.
Sasuke scoffed again. Naruto, who still hadn't noticed their weird actions, still smiled proudly.
"Oi, Gaki! Let's go." Pak-kun ordered.
"Osu! Pak-kun" Naruto laughed as he pat Pak-kun's head with his semi-free hand. Hinata blushed. "Ano-sa, Ano-sa, will you let me touch your paws Pak-kun?" he asked.
" Iie…. Your hands are dirty." Hinata grinned at the dog's comment.
"Hmph…" Naruto scoffed and crossed his arms.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru and Gaara were still behind glaring at the Uchiha. After a few moments, Shikamaru followed Naruto and Hinata; Gaara followed later. The sand Nin glared back as he barely noticed Sasuke's clenching and unclenching fist.
