Morning
"Well, she's possessed by the Hachimata. Did she tell you that?" Dark asked, purple eyes looking into the light blue ones of the Kazekage.
"Eight tails… yeah, she told me. What does that have to do with it?" he asked, not catching on.
"Well, she…I'm guessing she had a flashback of her childhood, its pretty screwed up or so I'm told, and she passed out. The Hachimata…got out..." Ichi informed him.
"She's unstable in the mind and even the slightest thing could set her off, or rather it." Verin added.
Gaara sat back. "Well that's just great."
"Why?" the three asked at the same time.
"Well, currently she's on a mission to Oto and is going to be working with people. "
"Oh great." Ichi commented sarcastically as he sat back.
The next morning, Hinata woke up with a small yawn. She looked over to the other bed and saw that Kikiru was still asleep, so she quietly got out and changed.
Tangerine eyes opened as soon as Hinata left the room. It was easy to feign sleep; she had been doing it since she was four and a half.
"Hmm, what to do today?" she mused as she glanced around at the room. Her eyes picked out that the wolf had left sometime during the night. She yawned slightly as her mind slowly went to work on several plans for the day. All, once thought on were discarded; all involved ditching and being lazy. She had to help out with the 'volunteer' work; after all she really wasn't a part of Konoha so she didn't have to go on missions. On the other hand, laying around and not doing anything would earn her a bad reputation..
Hinata went and quietly knocked on Kiba and Shino's door.
"Kiba-Kun? Shino-Kun? Are you awake?" she whispered.
Shino opened the door a few seconds later, fully dressed and ready. Kiba, however, was just getting up. "We'll be ready in a bit." He replied.
"Oh, ok." Hinata replied as she left and went back to her room to find the orange eyed girl lying dressed on the bed stretched out staring up at the ceiling.
"Umm, Kikiru-san, are you ok?" Hinata asked in a quiet voice.
Kikiru sat up and looked around in a daze. "Huh? Oh, I'm fine. Is our 'instructor here yet?"
"No."
"Is everyone awake?"
"I haven't checked on Jiraiya-sensei and Naruto-kun yet. I'll go check on them now." Hinata offered as she turned and left the room.
"You do that." Kikiru replied as she stood up and stretched.
Hinata paused down the hall outside Naruto And Jiraiya's room, it was oddly quiet. She lifted a tentative hand and knocked the door a few times. "Naruto-kun? Jiraiya-sensei?" she called quietly.
Her answer was of something hard hitting the floor and a muffled 'oww' from Naruto.
"Naruto-kun, are you ok?" she asked worriedly.
"My eyes! I have gone- oh, I can see again!" Naruto yelled from the other side of the locked door as he untangled himself from the sheets.
"Umm, is Jiraiya in there?" she asked quietly, nervous.
"Ummm-No! That dirty Ero-Sennin probably went to the bath houses or something. Hey, there's a sheet of paper under the door."
"Really?" Hinata said as she looked down at her feet. Sure enough, a letter was stuck under the bed. She picked it up and opened it as Shino, Kiba, and Kikiru joined her.
