Chapter Nine: The Vengeful Morning
We left the village walked north-western path toward the Land of Lighting, where the hidden village of Kumogakure resided. The first day was pleasant, but there was barely any talking. Just the occasional antics of Team Kakashi arguing and such. Around early evening there was an unsettled feeling in the air, especially during dinner time when I was preparing simple rice balls whereas Sakura attempted on making some tempura, she ended up with a burn mark on her arm and some checkered pieces of tempura. I could feel every time I looked away she sent a glare, and then when I looked towards her, she looked away. Naruto gobbled down the tempura and the rice balls I gave him asking for seconds, Sauske just stared at the rice balls, and Sakura threw hers in the bushes when I wasn't looking, but I obviously heard it. After eating, we crept into our tents and went to sleep. I slept next to Kiba, it was warm feeling his hand next to mine, and Akamaru was quietly snoring curled up by my legs. I fell asleep easily, my mind full of warm thoughts. The next morning I woke up the next day with Kiba curled closely to my body. He must've gotten cold; he looks so peaceful in his sleep…and cute too. I gave a little smiled then slowly got up, Akamaru woke up, he barked softly, I signaled him to be quiet and he obediently obeyed. I activated my Byakugan, I could see a small river nearby, and I'll take a bath while everyone's still sleeping. I headed over there, taking off my clothes then sitting on a rock half submerged in water. The cold water sent waves of feeling through out my body, I was officially awake. I rubbed my skin, freeing any particles of dirt that had lodged on my body, I could see the sun rise, the sunrise is really beautiful here. The morning sun glistened on the flowing water, Time to get ready. I walked out onto the smooth pebble shore reaching into my pack and fishing out a clean set of clothes. I then dipped my old clothes in water to clean them then set them on a rock to dry. I turned around there was a rustle in the trees, Must have been a squirrel. I dressed up and filled my canteen with water from the river then headed back toward camp. Sauske was awake, sitting in a tree; I ignored him then went inside the tent and got some eggs and cooking supplies from the food pack. I went outside and went to the fire pit; I revived the fire from last night and started cooking the eggs. Sauske was still in the same tree, staring at me, I ignored him. There was a rustle in my tent then a big yawn, Kiba came out, "Something smells good." He said.
"Um…Kiba can you wake up the others, after we eat we have to start moving again." I said.
"Okay." He said. Kiba walked into Team Kakashi's tent, there was a silence then a disgusting sound, "EWWW WHAT'S THAT SMELL!" shouted Naruto.
"HAHAHAHAHA REVENGE!" shouted Kiba
"EWW KIBA!" shouted Naruto. Kiba came dashing out then Naruto with a disgusted expression on his face. Then Sakura, "NARUUUTO!" shouted Sakura, she started chasing Naruto who was chasing Kiba who was running around everywhere. Kiba stopped abruptly before running into our tent. "Take this Kiba, Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi!" Shouted Naruto. He plunged his index finger into Kiba's butt, "Ow!" he shouted as he flew into the air ultimately landing in a tree not far away. "NARUUTO!" shouted Sakura as she punished him with a downward punch on the forehead. Shino then quietly emerged out of the tent and took a seat next to me. "Hinata…aren't those eggs done already?" he asked. I glanced at the eggs, Oh no…their gonna burn! I got the plates and served an egg on each plate. "C'mon guys it's time to eat!" I said and suddenly Naruto and Kiba were here. They were both eyeing the least burnt egg and exchanging evil looks. "Hmph…sorry but I don't eat eggs." Said Sakura while flicking her hair.
"That's fine, I'm sure someone else would like your egg." I said and she gave me another bad look, similar to the one she gave me earlier but this one looked eviler. Sauske came down from his tree, retrived his egg then went back up. Soon enough Kiba and Naruto were fighting over the extra egg. They were pushing each other and poking, "Hey you two, save the fighting for later." Said Shino.
"I know a way to find out who gets it, Rock, Paper, Scissors." I said
"That's a stupid idea." Said Sakura
"Oh well, do it anyways." I said. We watched the two boys participate in rock, paper, scissors. "YEAH!" shouted Kiba, "I get the extra egg." Naruto had a disappointed look on his face, "I was so sure I was going to win." He said
We quietly ate breakfast that cleaned up the camp and we were ready to leave. "Hold on…I need to get something." I said. I walked back toward the river, my clothes were everywhere. The wind must've blown them away. I retrived all my clothing, I swear I had a piece of underwear here, it might've got blown into the river. I packed the now clean-ish clothes into my pack then headed back to camp where we continued our journey to Kumogakure.
