Surprise, surprise... Chapter Two is here... (Nervously bites her nails.)
I'll be updating "Good Karma, Bad Karma" and "Onegai, Senpai" very soon... Sorry for the long delays on both! "Proportional Retribution" and the unnamed companion piece to "Irony of Love" are on hiatus (unofficially)…
For disclaimers, see Chapter One. If I failed to mention it before, characters are OOC.
Chapter Two
"I'll castrate the creep that did this to you, Hinata-chan!" exclaimed Tenten, brandishing an artillery of kunai and senbon.
Hinata sweat-dropped. "Ano…eto… that isn't necessary, Tenten-chan…" she said, waving her hands pleadingly into the air.
Sakura balked, punching a wall. "Not NECESSARY? Hinata! Someone GRABBED you THERE!" she frowned, pointing towards Hinata's chest.
"Forehead Girl is right! We're going to nab this jerk and give him what he deserves!" declared Ino, who pumped her fists.
"Tsunade-sama, help!" cried the Hyuuga heiress. Her friends were getting a little too carried away. She didn't want them to know about her little problem, but when they found her in the street looking troubled, they continued to pester her until she took them with her to Tsunade's office and reported what had occurred.
Quite frankly, Hinata only needed to enlist the help of her former teammates who were one of Konoha's best tracking groups.
"Ladies- I've already summoned a team to help Hinata track down the assailant."
Seconds later, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru stepped into the office where the Inuzuka was promptly tackled to the floor by three of Konoha's finest kunoichi.
"OI! What gives? Get off me!" he growled, thrashing on the floor. Kiba paused. Actually, wrestling three hot chicks wasn't that bad of an idea… "On second thought, Sakura- oh yeah, good girl, that's the spot… HELL YEAH!"
Ino, Sakura and Tenten jumped off of him at once, cringing.
"HENTAI!" they shrieked.
Kiba pouted. That was the most action he had gotten with a girl since... ever.
Hinata was about to help him off the floor. "Don't go near that FLEABAG, Hinata! It could be him!" scowled Sakura, pulling her away.
"What the HELL are you guys talking about?"
Tenten, Sakura and Ino huffed. "As if you don't know, Hentai-no-baka," Ino muttered matter-of-factly, placing her hands on her hips.
"Tsunade-sama, as amusing as it is to see Kiba getting thrashed, why have we been called in here?" Shino inquired. He perceived that something had happened to Hinata and her girlfriends were jumping to conclusions.
"Hinata was attacked-"
"WHAT!" Kiba yelled, grabbing his friend by her arms and looking her over. "Are you alright, Hinata-chan?"
"Um, Kiba-kun…" she whispered, eyeing the angry Hokage.
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted…" started Tsunade, sending Kiba a death glare that caused him to sit down (and Akamaru to tuck his tail in between his legs), "Hinata was involved in an incident at the local hot springs..." The Hokage paused, thinking of something appropriate to say without further embarrassing the girl.
"She had her breasts GROPED!" Sakura blurted out, causing Hinata's knees to buckle and Kiba to become slack-jawed, "BY A MAN WITH A HAIRY ASS!"
"And we can think of only one person who fits that description," said Tenten, eyes glinting maliciously.
"And that's YOU!" finished Ino, as the three cornered the stunned dog-boy. Even Shino glared disapprovingly at the accused.
"STOP IT!" Hinata managed to holler.
The room became still. Even Tonton, who was running around the room in a mad panic trying to avoid the large (and hungry) Akamaru, froze in his little piggy tracks.
"It wasn't Kiba-kun! Kiba-kun is hairy, b-but not there…"
Tsunade looked at Hinata interestingly. "And how do you know this, Hinata," she inquired, winking at the shy woman.
Shino and Kiba looked at their former teammate interestingly. Hinata withered under their gazes.
"I… just do?" she squeaked, poking her fingers together.
It was an unacceptable answer.
She confessed. "I-I was activating my Byakugan… something went wrong during a mission and I hit my head on s-something… my vision blurred for a little bit and a-all of a sudden, it seemed as if n-no one was wearing any c-clothing… and I saw K-Kiba-kun and S-Shino-kun a-and…"
Hinata fainted, having seen a flashback of Shino and Kiba's naked bodies. In actuality, Hinata had seen a lot of randomly naked bodies that day, but her familiarity with her teammates caused her to become as uncomfortable as the first day she met them.
Kiba and Shino also seemed to recall a time where Hinata hadn't been able to make eye contact with them for MONTHS, and she had often insisted on wearing a bandana over her eyes while performing exercises with them... they had excused it as part of her training.
Several minutes later Hinata came to, with the aid of Shizune and some smelling salts.
Kiba hoisted her up. "Hey, so who's bigger, me or Shino?"
The offended Aburame punched him in the gut.
"We'll help you, Hinata-chan."
Akamaru barked in agreement.
The Inuzuka picked himself off the ground again. "I was kidding, Shino. Geesh. Of course we'll do anything for you, Hinata-chan. I just gotta know one thing, and it's important for this investigation…"
"What is it, Kiba-kun?"
Kiba mused for a moment, allowing his wild imagination to work with him. "How big were the guy's hands?" he asked, cupping the space in front of her chest. He had already conjured up an image of Hinata in the springs (truthfully, it had been a fantasy of his), but he had always wondered what Hinata's real chest size was. "Would you say they were about this big? Or-"
Sakura, Ino, and Tenten punched Kiba through the wall and out into the street, giving Tsunade a new view of Konoha. "HENTAI-NO-BAKA!"
Shino brought a dazed Hinata out of the office to help Akamaru drag his master out of the Kiba-shaped crater in the dirt. There was a lot of work to be done.
Next chapter: The remaining girls begin their OWN investigation! LEAVE NO ASS UNTURNED! (Good luck, Sasuke!)
And that's my lame excuse for a chapter. I'm going camping this weekend, so I won't be able to respond to your reviews for a few days (if I receive any, that is). Take care, and I'll see everyone shortly!
