Chapter 4: It's Tough Being a Hyuuga

Ino in Hinata's Body POV

I snuck into, well I guess I could call it mine, my room. Pretty simple, not much decorations. I'll tale care of it tonight, Hinata will thank me later. I looked at the clock 5:00am, Hinata said training starts at 6:00. I might as well get ready now and just doze off a bit while waiting for Kurenai-sensei.

Learning a new fighting style sure is hard, not to mention mastering it in about six hours. Took kinda short, but Tenten said something about it being easier because of the spirit energy's adaption. I yawned after I ate breakfast I started heading to the exit...

I don't know where the exit is! I headed to my room and looked out the window, if I head south downstairs I would see the entrance door. But I just shrugged it off I'm already at the window, the jump could wake me up a bit. I got out and headed towards the exit, err, entrance...whatever.

I was passing the entrance door when it opened pretty fast and hard, it hit me right in the face. That. Hurt. I'll kill who did this-no, stay calm, stay nice, stay Hinata. I saw Neji looking down at me. Stupid ninja who thinks he's better than everyone else. He glared "My humblest apologies Hinata-sama."

I glared back at him then left-Damn! I'm supposed to ignore him not return a glare. I smacked my forehead, looks like the prodigy noticed. "Did you hit your head on something today? You're acting...strange."

I turned around and was about to answer when a small girl came "Maybe Hinata-neechandidn't get enough sleep, after all she practically came here at 5:00am. But like anyone would notice if you were gone longer." Whoa. This kid is up by 5:00am when I was her age I called it near midnight! But that second comment pissed me off!

They just looked at me again "Well s-she just s-said my a-answer." Then I turned around and was about to leave when Neji put a hand on my shoulder and making me face them. I'm supposed to act scared...scared?! I'm pissed can't they mind their own business I get cranky when I'm sleepy!

"W-What?"

Neji just sighed "What were you doing last night?" They both looked at me, why don't I put a bit more bravery in Hinata, it's what she needs. And I did warn the real Hinata on the new things I'll be changing about her so she shouldn't be surprised.

"N-Nothing you s-should be concerned about." I said turning to leave again but the girl appeared in front of me.

"Since when do you give those kind of answers?" She said. What's her name again...Hanabi. She looks like a brat I could loathe.

"W-Whenever I felt l-like it." Then I walked around her but she appeared in front of me again and Neji was at her side.

I was getting very pissed "I h-have to get to training, s-so if y-you'll excuse m-me." But instead of walking around them I pushed my way to pass in between them.

They looked kinda shocked. Hinata must have been reallya soft one if simple things like this shock her family. Neji spoke again "You're getting it from the other kunoichi."

"W-What am I getting?" I said putting up an innocent face. I still can't believe I come up with these sentences while stuttering. I'm genius!

The pipsqueak said "You're starting to talk back to those better than you." Better?! This kid's got guts! She must be crazy. She practically talks like another ice cube!

"W-Well if that's the c-case, you should l-learn how to respect those o-older than you." I said, I tried not to show a smirk. She was about to say something when a guy appeared at the doorway. By the looks of it my new father, Hiashi.

"Hanabi, come inside now, time to start your training," He said while giving me an icy glare then he was heading inside with the kid following behind, but before she closed the door she stuck out her tounge, then slammed the door.

...

The nerve of that kid! When I get back in this house she is dead! I clenched my hands with fire appearing in my eyes, I have to find a way to get back at that pipsqueak in the most Hinata-like way! But my dear father sure had a glare which said 'I will disown you! You worthless runt'. Talk about sucky family. I turned once again and headed out but Neji was still in front of me. "You really are acting different."

I put on a forced smile "W-who knows this could have been the r-real me all along."

"What do you mean?"

"I d-don't need to answer such a simple q-question, you're a g-genius figure it out on you o-own." I said pushing past him but faced him again

"A-And no. Those other k-kunoichi are not the bad i-influence I'm getting, your i-influence is finally getting i-into me." I said smirking. Then I finally left.

That felt really good!..But it's best I tell Hinata this. So when we get back to normal she might get more confidence. Looks like I was late Kurenai, Shino, and Kiba were already there. Kiba was the one to ask me "Why were you late Hinata-chan?"

"I just h-had to talk to N-Neji-niisan and Hanabi-chan that's all"

Kiba raised an eyebrow "Since when do you talk to them at all." Since I entered this body and was getting revenge for Hinata. But as if I'll say that.

"T-They still are my f-family." And I feel ashamed living with a bunch of cold hearted bastards. The kid was like Neji and she's what, seven?!

"Today we'll review on your basics." Kurenai said.

The first was clone jutsu, and the three of us did fine, then the transformation jutsu. Kiba and Shino were able to transform fine into the people Kurenai said. Then she faced me, I gulped, I hope I don't have to transform into the real me.

"Try and transform into your three kunoichi friends." I should have used reverse psychology! Kiba just scoffed thinking about the whole friend thing. And I could tell Shino rolled his eyes.

I transformed into Sakura, and Tenten, but when I tried Ino, I still had blue hair. Not good. I tried again, white eyes, again, pale skin. I tried once more giving it all I've got, and looked exactly like the real me.

"Yes!" But I covered my mouth my voice was exactly like Hinata's. They just sweat dropped.

Kurenai sighed "I don't exactly see why you can't get Ino properly, but we'll just leave it at that." Then we continued with the regular basics. Then she told us to practice where we were weak in. I have to try again to transform into the real me. This is such a drag! I sound like Shika-kun...like I'll call him that in public.

I tried to get Ino again, but had pale skin again. I just groaned no matter how I try it, it'll never work. "I don't get it Hinata-chan you can transform into the others fine but you can't get Ino?" Kiba said.

Shino spoke up too "It doesn't make any sense." I just shrugged.

"Well it's already noon you are dismissed." Then Kurenai left.

Then Kiba asked me "So...what exactly did Hokage-sama want with you and the others?" What should I say, it should be something Hinata-like since her teammates are nice to her unlike her family.

"Just that we s-should get along and not f-fight." I said.

"Since when did he think words would change anything." Shino asked.

I shrugged again. But then Akamaru started barking at me...again. During the whole morning he kept on looking and sniffing at me. I sure hope the dog didn't sense anything about the potion.

Kiba finally asked him "What is wrong with you today Akamaru? You're making Hinata-chan uncomfortable-" But then he paused too.

"You know Hinata-chan during the whole day I noticed something different about you too. You cut your hair or something?" Kiba asked.

Shino rolled his eyes "She doesn't look different she seems different."

What should I say..."I k-kinda f-feel different too. Like I-I'm more c-confident." I said smiling. Kiba and Shino nodded. But Akamaru didn't look satisfied with the answer.

"Well, I h-have to get going I-I have to m-meet some one at I-Ichiraku." Then I turned to leave.

"You finally asked Naruto out?" I faced Shino again and shook my head.

Then Kiba said "Don't worry Hinata-chan, I have a feeling he'll ask you out soon!" I just nodded and blushed...I guess the body turns red automatically when it comes to Naruto. I don't get what Hinata sees in him. Then I headed to Ichiraku.

But when I was a few blocks away I saw Naruto heading towards me. He waved to me.

"Hi Hinata-chan! I was hoping if you'll join me to the festival tomorrow?" He said looking down and got a bit red. I hate to admit it, but he's kinda cute!

"S-Sure Naruto-kun, I w-would love too." He smiled. "Uh...I'll pick you up at your house at 7:00." I nodded. Then he ran off. And I came in Ichiraku, looks like Hinata-Sakura is already here, but she looked deep in thought.

At least Naruto isn't a clueless idiot anymore. Kiba did say something about Naruto asking me out, I wonder if our other teammates are planning something... They better not, or else their dead!
