Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto (or much anything else except my puppy who I recently found out is also afraid of flashlights :P)
A/N: Sorry it took so long to update, but I've been busy with school, and haven't found much free time. Anyway here's chapter 2 The Search Begins. Well then read, review, and enjoy.
After calming down a little Hinata started to think about how she was going to approach this. 'I could just go up to the imposter and tell him I know he's not real, but that wouldn't help me figure out who he is, he might just run off, or he could try to attack me. Wait am I even sure it's a him?'
Hinata sighed and sat on a nearby bench. 'Whatever I do I'll need to do it soon or he, it, whatever might get suspicious and start looking for me. I have to think of another way, I could just check on every shinobi in the village to see who it not is. But that would take too long, but I don't have much other choice do I?'
Hinata sighed again, 'I guess I'd need a list of all the shinobi in the village, as well as a list of all of them on missions, but how would I obtain them? I could ask the Hokage-sama, but I don't think it'd be much help, oh well I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.'
Hinata stood up, raised her fist into the sky, and shouted (not on purpose, just because of the thrill of the moment.) "Yes, now begins the great shinobi search." Hinata's face immediately turned red as people throughout the street stared at her in confusion. She thought too herself, 'I, I guess I've been spending too much time around Naruto-kun.' As she walked to the Hokage's office.
The Search Begins
Hinata knocked on the Hokage's door.
"Come in" came the voice of the Hokage.
Hinata walked into the office and stood in front of the desk.
"Well, what do want Hinata?" Asked the Hokage.
"Oh well you see I…was wondering if," Hinata said growing more nervous by the second, "if…I know this may seem weird, but I was wondering if I could," by this point she had her eyes closed because she already knew the answer, "I was wondering if I could have a list of all the shinobi in the village and another one of all the shinobi on missions right now." Hinata was now looking at the floor sweating profusely.
"Sure I'd be happy to Hinata, just give me a second to get the papers ready." Exclaimed the Hokage with a overly happy expression on her face. She looked around her desk for a second and picked up the paper which seemed already organized, "Here you are Hinata," she said with the same overdramatic smile as she handed he papers to Hinata.
Hinata took the papers from her. "Yes, thank you Tsunade-sama." She said with a very confused but grateful look on her face.
"Anytime Hinata, now get out of here I have a lot of work to do." Exclaimed Tsunade with the same smile.
"Oh…right, sorry Tsunade-sama, thanks again." With that Hinata left Tsunade's office.
Tsunade's smile left as soon as the door shut.
-Flashback-
There is a dark figure standing in Tsunade;s office.
"What! I can't do that!"
"Come on just this once."
"And what exactly is the purpose of this?"
"You of all people should know."
"Hmmph I suppose I could just this once, but you owe me."
"Yeah, yeah."
-End Flashback-
She let out a sigh, "I hope he knows what he's doing."
Hinata walked out of the building wondering why something she thought would be so, difficult and impossible was so easy. She left the building and looked at the list, and began crossing the names off the list of the shinobi that were on missions.
'Well that's that done I need to get a move on I've probably already been gone too long and that Naruto wannabe guy has probably gotten suspicious.' She thought to herself as she looked over the list.
'Hmm, first on the list is Aburame Shino. I really don't think it's him, but I wouldn't hurt to check.' She thought.
Hinata walked to the forest where Shino usually trains during the day. Just as she figured he was there training with his bugs.
"Hinata, what do you want?" exclaimed Shino in a monotonous voice.
"Yes...well I was just checking to see where you were." She said scratching the back of her head.
"Oh…"
It is silent for a moment.
"Hey, Shino-kun you haven't seen Kiba-kun today have you?" asked Hinata.
"Earlier this morning, he said he had some training to do with Kurenai-sensei, but…"
Hinata became silent as she remembered that Kurenai was on a mission and couldn't be with Kiba. "Oh, thanks Shino-kun." She said as she walked off.
"Sure."
Hinata began walking out of the forest thinking silently to herself. 'Why would Kiba tell Shino that he would be training with Kurenai-sensei, when she's on a mission? Why wouldn't he want Shino to know what he's doing? Maybe he's the guy…no it couldn't be him.'
Meanwhile at Hinata's house, the imposter is still fast asleep on the couch.
Hinata exited the forest not watching where she was going deep in thought and walked straight into someone.
"Oh I'm…I'm very sorry I didn't mean anything." She said feeling embarrassed.
"It's alright, stuff like that happens every once in a while." Said the figure in a voice that seemed annoyed.
A/N: That's the end of chapter 2. Sorry it was so short, but again I was busy with school and other things and had hardly any free time. Again any tips are greatly appreciated. My thanks to those who reviewed. Chapter 3 Coming Soon. Please review. Later.
