In Each Other's Shoes
Chapter 7: The Not So Gentle; Gentle Fist
Recap:
Hinata sat up right away for the voice she kept hearing was now in front of her. As she looked past the gates she saw absolute horror. For there behind the gates stood a very big fox with nine tails swinging wildly behind it.
You are not the Kit. Who are you? Answer me or I might decide to eat you…
At the Kyuubi's cage
Answer me now! If you are not the Kit I see no trouble with eating you!
The Kyuubi raged at the trembling mass that was Hinata, sprawled out on the floor of the tunnel.
Slowly but surely Hinata got up from her crouched position. Being sure to stand well behind the gate she soon took notice to who see was looking at. The long defeated Kyuubi; the mighty nine-tailed fox whom if not for the Yondaime would have destroyed Konoha.
"I… I am Hyuuga Hin… Hinata. Wh… why are you here in my Naruto-kun?" Hinata said with a shaky voice, fearing the answer of the giant fox.
Kukukukukukukukukuku… Why am I here? I am serving my time in this pathetic body.
The Kyuubi answered with a touch of humor in it's voice. Slowly it bent it's head down so it was eye level with Hinata.
Ah, I know you. You're the female the Kit is lusting over… or how is it you people put it? Love?
At these words, Hinata's world closed off. Her face instantly became as red as a rip tomato, so much so the Kyuubi actually started to roll around a bit on the floor at her embarrassment. Naruto-kun…Naruto-kun loves me? Naruto-kun LOVES ME?
Kukukukukukukukukuku…. Are all humans this way? If so I should have blackmailed more people in my life. Kukukukukukukukukuku….
The Kyuubi's insane laughter finally brought poor Hinata out of her own little world. She stood bug-eyed, looking up at the Kyuubi with tears in her pale lavender eyes.
"Te..tell me that your not joking about Naruto-kun being your prison."
Lie? Why should one as mighty as me have to lie to one such as you? Now explain why you are here and not the Kit.
"A… a few days ago I was delivering ramen to Naruto-kun. I accidentally walked in on Naruto-kun doing some sort of jutsu and we switched bodies. I'm in his and he is in mine." Hinata responded with a fear in her voice. The Kyuubi was staring right at her with it's blood red eyes, they seemed to pierce her very soul to the core.
That would explain the new color to my prison. This place depends on the state of mind the owner of the body is in. I have to admit I like it more then that brownish orange the Kit colors it.
Hinata looked as though a brick hit her in her face. The Kyuubi had just complimented the color of Hinata's mind. As if reading Hinata's thoughts the Kyuubi answered in turn. Purple is my favorite color. (sweat drop… --;. You runt what's wrong with purple? Me: nothing at all)
Now where is that runt Kit? If he is in your body there is no telling what he could be up too.
Hinata eyes started to cloud over with a soft rage upon the Kyuubi's words. This over sized fleabag was insulting her Naruto-kun and Hinata would not stand for that. Walking up to the cage Hinata and found the outline of the fox's nose and planted a solid kick on it.
"No one insults my Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted out to the annoyed looking fox.
Why you little piece of trash how dare you hit me! The Kyuubi yelled out and stuck out with one of it's tails. But in a flash of yellow the tail was frozen in place.
Mumbling something about the 4th being a jackass the Kyuubi's rage soon dissipated. All the while Hinata had jumps and run a good 50 feet back, well out of reach the fox's many tails.
"Go…gomen nasai Kyuubi, but you shouldn't insult Naruto-kun."
You humans and your damn emotions, they are what make you weak and yet strong. I've rarely had anyone do that to me, so I guess you have some of my respect.
At these words Hinata stood there in shock.
Well since I have found out all I need to know you can leave now… Kit.
The Kyuubi turned in it's cage, lost focus and faded from view but a pearl or laughter could be heard through the darkness and something about rubbing this in the Kit's nose.
In moments Hinata sat up in bed, beads of sweat poured out of her pours. Then the hang over struck, instantly sending Hinata to the bathroom.
Same time, Ino's House
"Domo arigato gozaimasu Hina-chan!" Naruto cried out after finishing off his tenth bowl of miso ramen. Seconds later the door opened to show Hinata in a blue bathing suit carrying Naruto's eleventh bowl of miso ramen. Setting it down in front of Naruto, Hinata sat down next to the man of her dreams. With stars in her eyes she hugged Naruto around the waist. Looking down oh her Naruto smiled and bent his neck and kissed her on the forehead. Instantly she turned a shade of pink and the warmth of her body increased. Slowly she brought her face up to his. As if on cue their faces inched closer and closer to each other…6 inches… 5 inches… 4 inches… 3 inches… 2 inches…1 inch…HINATA!WAKE UP!
Instantly Naruto jumped out of bed. Neji was standing inside the doorframe with a serious look on his face.
"Hinata-sama you have over slept, you were due back are the Hyuuga Estate two hours ago." Neji said while walking over to Tenten.
"Tenten… Gai-sensei is looking for us too. We are supposed to head to training field 10 for briefing for our next mission." Turning to face that he believes to be Hinata. "And Hinata, I would suggest stopping for lunch before heading back, the kitchen is being searched for mice again. Come on Tenten lets go." And with that the two walked out the door.
"I bet he just came to make out with her." Ino said as soon as they left.
The rest of the girls and Naruto nodded in response.
"Well Neji did say to eat some lunch right? Wanna head to that Bar-Be-Q place downtown?" Ino said with a grin for the restaurant was on the opposite side of town thus taking much more time then usual.
"Ok, I like the sound of that Ino-san!" Naruto said with a huge "Naruto style" grin plastered on his face and ran off down the hallway to get his clothing.
The rest were left there in a daze.
"She is spending too much time with Naruto don't you think?" Sakura said while the rest just nodded.
The Bar-Be-Q Pit
"So what will you girls be having?"
"Well we are all going to have the grilled chicken and veggies. You know how we girls have to watch our weight." Ino informed the waiter.
"Yeah!" The others shouted out at the same time. At this the waiter sweat dropped and walked out to fill the order while thinking, Weight watchers… oh how they annoy me. But why are they always so cute?
Turning back from the waiter Ino's eyes narrowed into tight little slits and stared at Naruto. "So Hinata I hear that Kiba is looking for you…"
"Why is that?" Naruto asked like the dim wit he is.
"You have been hanging out with that runt to long Hinata." Kiba suddenly said from the edge or the table. Having heard the girls talking he decided to join them and ask Hinata out on a date.
"D-don't call him a runt!" Naruto said remembering what body he was in at the time.
"I'll call him what he is! What do you see in him anyway? All it ever is with you is Naruto, Naruto, Naruto! What about me?" Kiba nearly shouted at him.
"One reason is because he cares for other's happiness, were as you only care about yourself!" Naruto shot back with his anger rising.
"Then this will make you happy!" Kiba shouted as he slammed his lips into Naruto/ Hinata's lips.
Outside on the Street
Now I have to find that bridge Naruto always meets Kakashi at. But where is it? Hinata thought to herself as she walked down the busy street noticing the icy glares from the people around her. Now at least I know why they hate him… poor Naruto-kun.
Passing by the Bar-Be-Q restaurant she heard someone yelling… then dead silence. The next few moments soon became something from out a movie.
"Byakugan!"
Seconds later yells and screams could be heard from inside the restaurant.
"You kissed me! You pig!"
"Hinata! Calm down, I thought …" WHAM!
"Get back here Kiba!"
"Hinata stop it! It was only a kiss!" SLAM!
"I'm going to kill you Kiba!"
As this was going on Hinata saw people start running out of the building. To her surprise she caught a glimpse of Ino and Sakura running for their lives. Rushing over and grabbing Sakura's arm Hinata asked what was going on.
"Kiba kissed Hinata! And now she is flipping out!"
"Naruto you're the only one to calm her down!" Ino piped in as a chair flew past her head.
Looking back at the direction of the projectile they watched in horror as Kiba's form bursted through the wooden wall sending splinters everywhere. As his body hit the soft earth he jumped up to one leg and started to limp away only to be pegged by a grill in the back of the head. Looking back at the building they say Hinata standing inside the hole, Byakugan blazing and chakra pouring from every pore on her body.
"Well… good luck Naruto!" Ino shouted as she took off toward her house, the dust trail barely keeping up.
