Angels and Demons Don't Mix
Chapter 03 – One Chance
Hinata walked over to the counter, where the preppy woman handed her a shoulder bag, filled with the belongings she had on her when she died. The two then thanked the woman and walked out. Takuma turned to Hinata, a bit more nervous then before. "Um, Hinata?" She turned. "Yes?" Takuma took a deep breath, "Do you want to go get ice-cream or something?" His face began to grow very red. Hinata didn't notice, "Sure. I am hungry." Takuma smiled wildly, extremely happy she had agreed. But, poor Hinata didn't know what she had just agreed to. She had no idea… this was a date.
The pair went to a small shop and got two chocolate ice-cream cones. They then took a seat on a bench, right beside the fountain they had met by earlier that day. As they ate, Hinata began taking the items out of her bag. Takuma's eyes widened. "What the heck are those?" Hinata looked down into her hand, where she held a handful of shiriken and a kunai. "Oh, these? I used them in battle." She turned to him, seeing confusion on his face. "I'm a ninja." She stated. His eyes grew even wider… if that was possible. "Really?" Hinata nodded. "I used these, which are shiriken," She handed one to Takuma. "to hit people when I'm at a distance. Like this…" She then took one in her free hand and through it. It landed smack dab in the middle of the tree about 6 feet away. Takuma gapped, but said nothing. She then picked up a kunai. "And this is a kunai. I used it for upfront combat." She flipped it around in her hand. "Also, I used jutsus as well." Takuma looked into the bag. "Which ones are those?" Hinata laughed. "They aren't an item. They are more of a… power. Watch." She stood up, the folded her hands together. "Byu!" Her eyes suddenly grew veins at the sides. She looked down at Takuma, who was gaping even more. "W-What…" Hinata smiled. "This is a jutsu that is paced down from generation to generation in my family. We are able to see through things, and do a bunch more too." She then sat back down, and her eyes were back to normal.
Takuma still could say nothing. Hinata only laughed. The two continued eating their ice creams while sorting through her bag of junk. Suddenly, Hinata felt something on her hand. She turned, and found Takuma's hand holding hers. Many thoughts rushed through her head, until she finally realized what was going on. She quickly stood. "Oh Takuma… I didn't… I mean… We… I need some time to think…" she quickly grabbed her bag and through it over her shoulder. Before Takuma could say a word, she had disappeared. He sighed, then looked down toward the ground. Suddenly, something caught his eye. It was a small piece of paper… no, a photo. 'Hinata must have dropped it.' Then, he looked down at the picture. Looking back up at him was Hinata, blushing madly as she twiddled with her fingers. A large smile was placed across her face. Beside her, was a boy with wild blond hair and a freakishly huge smile. He had one arm on Hinata's shoulder, as he gave the camera a piece sign. Takuma sighed.
Hinata lay in her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She sighed lightly, as tears began slowly creeping down her face. 'What should I do. I mean, I can't see Naruto any more… I know that. Should I just let him go? Even if I wanted to… could I? How long will it take for me to get over him. Can I?' Suddenly, a knock came at the door. "Who is it!" she called. A familiar voice replied, "Takuma." Hinata sighed. 'Well, I can't avoid him forever.' "Come in."
Takuma opened the door, and saw Hinata still lying on her bed. "Come on!" he called, grabbing her hand and pulling her out the door. She quickly fallowed, not really sure why. "What? Where are we going?" Takuma didn't answer. They continued running, until they finally reached the large castle from earlier. Takuma pulled Hinata inside, and the doors shut behind then. All went dark. "Takuma what are we…" Takuma broke her off with a "shh."
Suddenly, the voice came again. "Hinata Hyuga." This time she wasn't so scared. "Yes?" The voice came again, "We have a proposal for you. You may go back down to earth…" Hinata smiled wildly. She was too exited for words. "…but there is a catch. You will go down, but not as yourself. You will look different, and you will make up a different name. Youcan tell others aboutyour real identity, but who would belive you? Anyways,you will be placed right outside your hometowns gates. You will have exactly one week, not a second longer, then you will be called back here. If you can make Naruto admit his love to you, or more clearlyHinata, before that time is up, you may use your wish to stay there with him as your normal self." Hinata's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it. "Do you agree?" Hinata quickly looked up "Yes! Yes, I'll do it!" The doors suddenly flew open. "Good. Now, Takuma will take you to the pond, where you will make your way back down the earth."
The pair walked out of the building, and the doors shut behind them. Hinata began ranting on. "Oh my god! This is amazing! But… how did this happen?" She turned to Takuma, who smiled slightly. "Well, I sort of had a wish too." Hinata quickly realized what had happened. "You used your wish to help me? But… why?" Takuma smiled, "Well, I want you to be happy… even if it's not with me." Hinata quickly stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on his right cheek. As she pulled down, he blushed badly. "I would have kissed you on the lips, but I have to save that for someone else." Takuma nodded while blushing slightly. "But… how did you know…" Takuma reached into his pocket and pulled out a small photo, handing it over to Hinata. "You dropped this." Hinata smiled. 'Naruto, I'm coming back.'
Suddenly, the pair heard a voice, "Hinata?" Hinata turned around to see a man running toward her. As he grew closer, she smiled wildly. "Uncle!" They hugged each other. "Hinata! I'm so glad to see you! But… when did you get here? What happened?" Hinata smiled up at her uncle. "Don't worry about me. I get to go back!" He smiled, "That's wonderful! Wait, when you go, could you do something for me?" Hinata nodded. "Anything." "Could you tell Neji something for me?"
After Hinata was told what to tell Neji, she gave her uncle one last hug, then told him they'd met again someday. Then, the pair was off again. Soon they reached a large pond surrounded by trees. They stood on the edge, looking down into the water. Hinata turned to Takuma. "Well, this is it." He nodded, then embraced her in a hug. "Good luck." She nodded, and then took a step into the water. Immediately, she felt like she was falling. Most people would be freaking out if you felt this, but not Hinata. She was too excited. 'I'm comingback Naruto. I'm coming.'
Hinata: I'm going back? YES!
Dani: Lol, you're sure exited! Calm down, ok?
Hinata: Calm! How do I stay calm! I'm going home! But wait… you made me freak out for nothing! You suck!
Dani: Fine, the I guess you don't want your first kiss to be with Naruto then…
Hinata: What… really? You'd do that for me?
Dani: Yup.
Hinata: YES! You officially rock!
Naruto: Wait, I'm going to kiss Hinata?
Dani & Hinata: Ya. Got a problem with that?
Naruto: Hell no!
Takuma: You all hate me, don't you.
Dani: Pretty much.
Takuma: -sigh- I never get the girl!
