Fleeting Thoughts

Chapter 2

Mission

Naruto burst into Tsunade's office. "NARUTO YOU ARE LATE. I thought I said not to be late," Tsunade yelled.

"Yeah, yeah I just woke up a little late you old hag. Give me a brake," Naruto yelled while trying to catch his breath.

Sasuke turned and smirked at Naruto. "Dobe your holding us up," Sasuke said.

"Shut up you bastard," Naruto said as he went a stood next to Sakura.

"Ok! Your mission is to protect Mr.Yamada here," She said while pointing a fingure to a young tall dark man. "You well need to keep him out of all danger. He is being followed by someone and they are planning to attack the village. Which is the other part of your mission. Help defend the small village."

"ALRIGHT! Something fun to do. Thanks." Naruto said. I can wait to get started. "This is going to be so fun."

"Oh yeah one more thing." Tsunade said. "I was just going to have it be the three of you but I decided that Hyuuga Hinata well be joining you."

"Huh," Everyone said with a surprised look on their faces. Then the door open. Hinata walk shyly in and stood next to Sasuke. That feel came back to her. She wanted to forget about it but every time she's near them it comes back.

"Ok. Everyone came leave now."

Naruto turned to Sakura only to see the same sad look on her face that he had seen the day before.

"Damn it, I don't understand what everyone sees in that guy. Who cares who he is with Sakura. I know you will find someone who will want to be with you." Naruto wanted to yell those word but he couldn't . He was afraid that he might upset Sakura if he did. Naruto lefted his head up to glare at Sasuke but realized he was gone. He looked around. Everyone was gone. "Huh!" Naruto started jumping around. "Where is everyone? Where did they…"

"They left Naruto. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?" Tsunade yelled from behind her desk. "GET THE HELL OUT."

"OK," Naruto growled. Naruto walked out of the office only to find Sasuke waiting beside the door. He didn't even look up. "Damn this guy," Naruto thought. "Lets go," Sasuke said in his emotionless voice. They walked out of the building and began running to the gate where everyone was waiting.

Naruto was happy when he reached the gate. He didn't have to be alone with Sasuke anymore and he was happy to have a mission with everyone again. He turned. Hinata was there. Standing right by the gate. That was the only difference but he thought it would be good for everyone if she was there. "Maybe Sakura will finally get over Sasuke now," Naruto thought.

Hinata looked up just as Naruto and Sasuke reached to gate. Something went through her. A feeling of relief. She didn't know why she felt that way but she did. They began to walk northeast to the village. They know it wouldn't that long to get there. About a day they figured.

The sun began to set yet there was no sign of the enemy anywhere. "Lets set up camp for now," Sasuke said. "I don't sense the enemy and we should rest for tomorrow anyways." Everyone nodded. Naruto was too tired to argue. He didn't get much sleep last night and when he did get to sleep to was so closed to time he didn't hear his alarm going off. Naruto through up his tent as quickly as he could and then crawled in a went to bed. His head began to fill up with dreams. Dreams of everything. It was heard to keep track of them. Each one would fade into one another. Slowly, slowly.

Outside Sasuke and Hinata sat by the fire. Yet no words were exchanged. Hinata wondered if it would always be like this. She stood up and walked right in font in Sasuke. She bent down and leaned her head forward and kissed Sasuke on the cheek. His cheek felt so warm against her lips. She slowly pulled back. She went forward again and caught Sasuke's lips. Sasuke pulled back. He was stunned. He cleared his throat. "Hinata…I…" Sasuke tried to talk but was interrupted. " I'm going to bed now. Good night Sasuke," Hinata said. Sasuke looked up to see her blushing and then she turned around to go to her tent.

When Hinata reached her tent the feeling wouldn't go away the feeling she always got when she was around them. But this time the feeling was stronger. "This feeling. Was it because I kissed him," she wonder. She dropped onto her sleeping bag and went to sleep.

Sasuke sat outside by the fire. Feelings went through him. He didn't understand them. He never felt this way. He decided to go to bed. Everyone else had so way not he thought.

Naruto woke up with a start. The dream he had. The feelings in it. He know those feelings. He couldn't remember the dream though but he knew he was so happy. Happily in love. But he know one thing about his dream. The person he was so happy with wasn't Sakura. He shook his head. "It's just a dream. Of course I love Sakura." He thought. He got up and went outside. He began to go to the closest river that was only a five minute walk. When he got there he splashed water and his face. It felt so cool against his face. He looked around to see how wonderful everything looked at night. Then he heard a noise. He turned around. Standing behind him were people in large cloaks. "the enemy," he thought. He jumped up. He was ready for anything. He would kill them all if he had to. No one moved for a few minutes. Then one spoke. " I know everything about you, Naruto. Your past, present, and your future," said a deep voice. "So what, Naruto said. " What the hell do you want?"

"We want you to join us and attack Konoha. If we take it over you wont need to worry if they will make you Hokage or not. You will be in charge and everyone will be under your comand." said the deep voice.

"Hell no," Naruto said. He began to charge at the enemy but they had already left.

Running high in the trees were the people who just left. " I know you will come tomorrow. We will be waiting for you, Naruto.
