Chapter Three: Phone calls

Hinata wasn't having a good day. She had just returned home from training where she found out that one of her teammates was marked to death. She had then realized that if Naruto was being hunted by the Akatsuki, he would be hiding making it a lot harder to stalk him. Hinata was roused from her thoughts by a shout from downstairs. Her sister was telling her that she had a phone call. She wondered who would be calling her as she picked up the receiver.

"H-Hello" Hinata spoke nervously.

"Hey Hinata!" Hinata turned red. She knew the voice on the other end of the phone. She was on cloud nine. She had always dreamed that one day Naruto would call her.

"N-N-Naruto-Kun?"

"Yeah, listen Hinata I need to ask you a favor." Hinata's heart soared.

"What is it Naruto-Kun?"

"Well this is hard to say…" Hinata was in absolute ecstasy. "..But I need to ask you." Hinata was on the verge of passing out from sheer joy.

"Ask me what?"

"Could you spy on Kiba and help me avoid being captured by him?"

"…"

"Hinata? Are you there?" Hinata had just had all her hopes crushed. However being a smart girl she realized that if she agreed to this it meant that she got to spend time with her precious Naruto.

"Sure, I'll help you, Naruto-K-Kun." Hinata replied

"Cool. See you later then, bye. CLICK" Hinata just stared at the phone for a minute, Naruto had asked her for help.

………………………………

Hinata was once again aroused from her daydreaming by the sound of the telephone ringing.

"Hello, Hyuuga residence."

"Hinata, is that you?"

"Yes."

"Hey. It's Kiba calling. Listen I need you to help me capture Naruto."

"But Kiba…." Before she could finish Kiba interrupted.

"We need to lure him into some kind of trap. And I figured that you guys could help me."

"Kiba I…" once again Kiba cut her off.

"I really appreciate you guys helping me out. It's nice to have a team that I can count on."

"But…"

"Anyway, I've got to go. I'm now faced with the impossible task of finding someone who knows almost everything about Naruto. I need to know everything from his daily habits to what kind if food he likes. Too bad nobody I know knows that much about Naruto. Anyway Bye Hinata. CLICK" Hinata realized what had just happened. She was now committed to both protecting and capturing Naruto. There seemed to be no way out without hurting one of her friends and this bothered Hinata more than just about anything. She lay down to try and figure out her problem.

……………………………….

Half an hour later the phone rang for a third time. Once again Hinata answered it.

"Hello. Hyuuga residence" A man's voice came over the other end.

"Hello ma'am is Hyuuga Hinata in?"

"Th-this is Hyuuga Hinata."

"Excellent. Now Hinata I need you to tell me all that you can about your teammate Inuzuka Kiba."

"Who is this?"

"This is the Hogake."

"But the Hogake is a woman"

"….Um No I'm not."

"Who are you and why are you pretending to be the Hogake?"

"Umm we're planning a surprise birthday party for Kiba?"

"Kiba's birthday is in July."

"So?"

"It's November."

"…We wanted to start early." In the background Hinata heard a second voice saying, "I told you this wouldn't work, Itachi." Hinata gasped.

"Are you Uchiha Itachi?"

"….Maybe."

"You are Itachi aren't you?"

"Ha Ha that's right and now that you have figured out my true identity I'll have to do this!" Hinata nearly fainted from fear. But nothing was happening. She waited longer but still nothing happened. Eventually she just shrugged and hung up the phone.

"That was weird." she thought

…………………………………………

Meanwhile at the Akatsuki headquarters Itachi has still holding the phone. He had been like that for half an hour. Finally Kisame took pity on him and decided to speak.

"Itachi, I hate to tell you this but your Sharingan won't work over the phone."

"Of course it will!" sneered Itachi.

Kisame just sighed and wondered how he got paired up with such a weird guy.
