A message to my reviewer (I always forget your name, sorry) I wrote the answer to your question as a reviewer, so read the reviews.
Chapter 4: Tension
Lithak woke up, and realized that he was late. He had to report to Tsunade so that she could assign him for a team. Lithak arrived at Hokages office 20 minutes late. "I have to say I'm not exaxctly filled with confidence in your dedication when you arrive at my office late on your first day as a Konoha Chuunin," she said sternly. Lithak stared at her, "I am sorry, Hokage, but I had alot of stuff on my mind yesterday, and I guess I slept a little too peacefully. My deepest appologies." Tsunade laughed, "Don't worry about it. You act so formal, just be yourself." Lithak stayed the way he was. "Hokage, if I might. I request to be on the same team as Hinata Hyuuga," he said. Tsunade looked at him, as though she knew what he was thinking about. "Alright," she said, "your team shall be Shikamaru Nara and Hinata Hyuuga. You will be assigned to missions regularly, and pay will be after each completed mission."
After that she dismissed him, and he headed to Hinata's house to tell her the news. There, he found Hinata outside (which is a rarety for her) outside, laying down on the ground, watching the sky. He walked over and layed down next to her. "Hey," she said, "what's going on." Lithak shrugged his shoulders, "Not much, I just got assigned to your team." Hinata's face brightened, and she turned over, looking at Lithak. "That's great!" she said, "maybe we can go meet the team later." Lithak nodded. Hinata wrapped her arm around Lithak. "You know, Lithak, I really like you. You helped me out of a depression, stuck around despite all my flaws, and you even knew about my bloodline the whole time," she said. Lithak looked Hinata deep in the eyes, and for a single second, even without his special eyes, he could see into her soul. They pressed their foreheads together, and kept staring into each others eyes. Lithak wrapped his arms around her, and they began to kiss. 'Her lips taste...sweet,' Lithak thought. They enjoyed the kiss for what seemed like an eternity, just kissing with a great passion. Suddenly, a voice broke the silence, and Lithak found himself with a knife at his throat. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING WITH MY COUSIN!" screamed Neji. "Neji," said Hinata, "please calm down. He wasn't doing anything but kissing me." Neji didn't calm down, instead, he got angrier. "It looked to me like he was trying to do more than that," he said. Suddenly, Lithak began to laugh. "You've got to be kidding me. I would never do anything to hurt Hinata. She is as much precious to me as she is to you, and if anything ever hurt her, I would be sure that thing was dead before the day was out," Lithak said. Neji's grip loosened and he slowly let me go. "I don't know why I believe you, but let me make this perfectly clear. If you do anything to my cousin, I will kill you," he said.
After the little incident, Lithak and Hinata headed to the park. On the way, Lithak engaged in conversation with Hinata. "What's with your cousin anyway?" he asked. "He can be a little overprotective lately, but he only has what's best for me in mind. Ever since both our fathers died, he's been like this," she said with a sad hint at the end of her last sentence. As they turned the corner, Lithak bumped (more like knocked over) Sakura. Before he knew what happened, Naruto was in his face. "What was that for?" he ordered. Lithak tried to explain, but Naruto wouldn't listen. "FINE!" Lithak screamed, "let's settle this with a fight." Naruto nodded, and they headed for the field just outside Konoha. Lithak didn't know what was up with Naruto, but he was freaking out, and I hadn't had a Shinobi battle in a while.
1. Do you think Tsunade put Lithak on Hinata's team because she knows what Lithak feels for Hinata.
2. What do you think of Neji's overreaction? Was it justified?
3. What do you think will happen during the fight between Naruto and Lithak
4. Who do you think will end up being the main bad guy. Orochimaru (don't ask how) or Akatsuki.
