Hello everyone,
I am sorry that its been so long since my last post, I had a family emergency, I actually had to take multiple weeks off of work
But here is the next chapter, anyway here are the reviews as always
bankai777 - Thank you for the review, I don't know what those are
bookworm51485 - This is a review from Book 1 so I don't know if you will ever see it but I felt it had to be answered - First thank you for the review, now to answer the question, I honestly don't like Chouji, its why I killed him off as soon as I could in my Bond's series, as for Shino, I like him but I just didn't feel like he would be a good fit for this story. and as for my OC's, that is my decision, she was created in my Bonds series and I liked her a lot but never got to use her as as much as I would have liked as her story ark came to a close (Talking about Suzu) so here she is. As I said, I don't even know if you will like this story long enough to read this but I am sorry if you disagree, I do however hope that you end up liking the story none the less :)
Anyway with that out of the way here is the next chapter
Book 4 - Star Trek: Predator - Sad Day for Konoha's - Chapter 6, Voyager feels like home
The Flyer was almost out of Cardassian space, Kira was still scanning Hinata
"I have stabilized her condition for now, but we will need to get her to Voyager" Kira stated as he shut the medical tricorder
"But who knows where they could be" Naruto stated
"I know exactly where they are going to be" Kira answered back, surprising Naruto, Neji and Suzu "They are going to be at Starbase four thirty two" He added
"How do you know?" Suzu asked
"Because before we set off on this mission I asked them to wait for us there, I told them I may need the Doctors Expertise in Konoha biology, plus Sakura is now a nurse and doctor in training, she would also be able to help" Kira explained
Naruto raise an eyebrow "Is there anything you don't plan for?" He asked with a grin
Kira let out a sigh "Yeah" he said with a slight pause "Your emotions" He finished
Neji looked at Naruto then Kira
Naruto's grin suddenly vanished as there is a small moment of silence "I... I am sorry" He finally said while feeling ashamed of his actions
"What are you two talking about?" Neji asked out of curiosity
"During the mission Naruto disobeyed my orders for stealth and he took on four enemy guards on his own, he was lucky to not trip off any alarms. However he put all of us as well as the mission in danger" Kira answered
Neji was surprised and angry at the news "You put the mission and Hinata's Life in danger?!"
Naruto's shame only grew as he regretted his actions "I am sorry, I was only thinking about getting to Hinata as soon as we could. I felt that with every second we spent tip toeing around meant that they were doing horrible things to her.." He answered
Kira felt bad as he could tell Naruto regretted his actions, but it was a lesson he had to learn if he was ever to command "I understand, but letting your emotions take over isn't the answer. If you are ever going to be a captain one day then you are going to have to learn how to deal with your emotions"Kira explained
"And the same would apply if you were to ever become Hokage" Neji added
Kira could tell that Naruto was deep in thought, suddenly Sasuke's voice came over the comm
"We are now entering Federation Space, and nearing Starbase four three two"
Kira tapped his comm badge "Hail Voyager and route the transmission here" he ordered
"Aye sir, I am getting a response, routing it to the rear comm panel" Sasuke answered
Chakotay's face appeared on a small screen next to Kira "This is Voyager"
"Hello Captain, my name is commander Kira Yamato of Section thirty one , I am also the first officer of the USS Freedom" Kira stated
Chakotay raised an eyebrow "I see, so what can we do for you commander"
"I had Admiral Janeway send you here for a reason, I believe you know about the Lexington" Kira explained
"I happen to have two crew members from Konoha, so I know very well about the Lexington commander" Chakotay answered with a serious tone
"Well I just happen to have six Konohans with me, Naruto, Suzu, Sasuke, Neji, Ino" he began as be paused for a brief second "And Hinata" He finished
Chakotay eyes widen as a smile began to creep on his face at the news "She survived?" He asked to make sure he had understood
"It turns out Naruto and Neji were right. And like Naruto when he was captured they did things to her. We need your doctor who has the best knowledge of Konohan physiology to examine her" Kira informed him
"Of course, just tell us where to meet you" Chakotay quickly answered
"I'm sending you our cloaking frequency, I request that you meet with us right away, the sooner we get Hinata to you the better" Kira stated as he punched in the cloaking frequency and sent it to Voyager
"Agreed, we have received your frequency, we are setting course at maximum warp"
"Thank you Captain" Kira said with a bow
"Anything to save Hinata, Voyager out" Chakotay stated before his face disappeared
Shortly afterwards Kira had made his way to the cockpit, Naruto and Neji had not left Hinata's side
"Voyager has dropped out of warp at 001.12" Suzu informed them
"Ino, drop us out of warp, Sasuke drop the cloak and inform Voyager that we are going to beam Hinata straight to sickbay and that we are coming in for a landing" Kira ordered
The crew worked their consoles as the flyer dropped out of warp and dropped its cloak
"Message sent and acknowledged sir" Sasuke reported
"Energize" Kira ordered once more
"Transport complete commander" Suzu stated
"Ino land the flyer in their shuttle bay" Kira added
The flyer landed in Voyager's shuttle bay, Naruto and the others came out of the flyer. Even thought they were all worried about Hinata any chance to be back on Voyager felt like home. This is where they had trained for the academy and spent their first months in space
"Come on, lets get to sickbay" Naruto stated as he began making his way to the shuttle bay's exit
"Take your time, let the doctor do his thing, we will only get in the way at this point" Kira told him
"I don't care if I have to sit and wait outside the doors, I am still going" Naruto quickly answered back
Kira sighed and nodded as Neji followed Naruto's lead
"What about you three?" Kira asked Sasuke, Suzu and Ino
"Hinata is safe now, there is nothing much more we can do other then wait" Sasuke answered
"Yeah, and whether its in sickbay or anywhere else on the ship won't really change much" Ino added
"Right now I just think we should allow Naruto and Neji to have their space" Suzu stated as well
"Lets go to the mess hall, I could use something to drink" Ino suggested
"Yeah, what about you commander?" Suzu asked
"Me? I have to study this..." He said as he showed them his tricorder
"And what is that?" Sasuke asked
"While I was setting up the self destruct I also downloaded the entire memory core of their ship, Starfleet Intel is going to be very pleased" Kira stated with a grin
"Well you can study it with us, over a hot steaming cup of Hot Cocoa" Suzu said with a grin
Kira Smiled "Your starting to know me too well" He said with an amused tone "Alright lets go get us some cocoa" He said giving in as they all walked into a turbolift
Meanwhile back in sickbay the medical staff were hard at work
"Get me twelve cc's of the second vial" The Doctor ordered
"Aye" Sakura answered as she quickly as she handed him the vial
The Doctor quickly poured it into another vial "Now twenty one milligrams of the red vial" He ordered once more
"Here you go Doctor"
He did the same as with the other vials, he then closed the vial and put it in a mixer for a few seconds. He then shoved it into a hypospray and quickly administered it to Hinata as he took his tricorder and scanned her continuously
"Doctor?" Sakura asked still worried for her friend
A smile began to creep onto The Doctors face "I think she will be alright now, her life wasn't in any danger thanks to the medicine she got from that commander, but her chakra system was damaged. Without the repairs I just did to it she could have lost the use of her chakra" He explained
"I believe he called himself Kira Yamato I think" Sakura commented
"Yes well, had it not been for him she would have serious brain damage right now. Although this isn't the same thing that almost killed Naruto, it was very similar"
"So she will make complete recovery then?" Sakura asked for confirmation
"Yes, she will be fine, you can go and tell the others" The Doctor suggested
Sakura nodded happily. She went to the other side of the office where they had told Naruto and Neji to wait "Hey guys, she is going to be alright"
Neji breathe a sigh of relief "That is great news" he stated
Sakura had noticed Naruto missing "Where did Naruto go? I thought they said he was waiting here with you" She asked
"When we got here he said that I should be the one to be with Hinata since she is family, I told him to join me but he turned around and walked out of the room" He answered
Sakura raised an eyebrow "That is unlike him., I wanted to see him" She said with a pause as she thought about the last time she saw Naruto "I have missed him, its been over a year since I have seen him in person" She added as she found herself really looking forward to seeing him more and more and a very light blush appeared on her face
Neji raised an eyebrow of his own and grinned "Oh?" stated in an amused tone
Sakura realizing Neji's tone instantly regained her serious look "Don't get any ideas, I have missed Sasuke too, we were originally a team after all" She said as she crossed her arms
But Neji simply smiled at her
Sakura finally let out a sigh "You can go see her now, but she won't be conscious for a few more hours" She told him as she wanted to change the subject
It was Neji turn to regain his composure as he got up from his seat "That's alright" he said as he walked towards her biobed and sat down at her side
Sakura walked over to The Doctor who was in his office working on Hinata's file "Doctor, are you busy?" She asked
"I am always busy" He said in a joking tone and smiled at her "But I can always make time for you" he added
"I would like permission to leave sickbay"
The Doctor got up from his chair "Is there something wrong?" He asked her slightly concerned
"Well you see, I haven't seen Naruto in such a long time, and you know Sasuke too so..." She started to explain
The doctor smiled, he had come to know Sakura very well during her time on the ship. He could remember when he first met her and how she was obsessed with Sasuke. But now he noticed that her heart rate would often accelerate whenever she talked about Naruto, and at times she even had to hide the redness that would creep on her cheeks
"I understand, we are done here so go and see your friends" He said as he set his hand on her shoulder
She smiled and thanked him. As she began to walk out of sickbay she stopped for a second "Computer, Locate Lieutenant Naruto Uzumaki"
"Lieutenant Naruto Uzumaki is on deck one" The computer answered
Sakura walked into a turbo lift and asked it to take her to the bridge. The doors opened and she looked around, Naruto wasn't there, she saw Tom was chatting with Harry at Ops
"Hey Sakura!" Tom said as he spotted her getting off the lift
"Hey Commander, have you seen Naruto?" She asked as she approached him
"Yeah, the captain gave him permission to use the observation lounge" Tom answered
Sakura turned her attention to Chakotay "Sir may I join him?" She asked him
"Of course Sakura, I think he could use some company" Chakotay answered
Sakura smiled as she made her way to the doors, as they slid and she entered the room she spoted Naruto who was staring into space, he was so deep in thought that he didn't hear her come in, she grinned as she slowly approached him from behind and wrapped her arms around his waste and hugged him tightly "Naruto!" She said with a cheery tone
Naruto was caught completely by surprised, his reflex was to elbow whoever had just grabbed him but he quickly stopped himself when he realized who it was "Sakura?" He stated surprised and confused
Sakura was satisfied with her surprise attack and didn't let go "I missed you guys so much" She told him in a soft voice
Naruto didn't really know what to do, Sakura had never hugged him before, rather it would be the other way around, she would hit him for no reason or if he said something stupid. She finally let go of him and allowed him to turn around
Although Naruto was very happy to see Sakura, there was one thing on his mind that he had to get out of the way "Sakura...Is Hinata?" He started asking
She smiled as she answered "Yeah, she will make a complete recovery"
Naruto let out a sigh of relief "I am glad, I was afraid that we were too late"
"She will be back on her feet in a few days" Sakura added
"Do the rest of the guys know about this?" He asked
"Other then Neji and now you, no. Lets go tell them together" She said with a smile as she grabbed his hand
However before they can even make it to the doors Kira's voice came over the comm "Kira to Naruto"
Naruto tapped his comm badge "Yes Commander?"
"Meet us in the mess hall, I have something urgent you have to know"
