II
Hinata leaps from tree to tree, a kunai clutched tightly in her left hand, close to her chest. She stops and presses her back up to a tree, the bark digging in her skin uncomfortably. Her breath is uneven, she summons her Byakugan, a kunai flies her way, she jumps out of the way just in time only to jump into the path of another. She quickly does some hand signs, the kunai hits, there's a puff of smoke, and a log is in her place.The brunette holds her breath, hiding behind a tall bush only a couple feet away from where she was attacked, looking everywhere for her attacker.
She catches sight of the enemy, she leaps closer, hiding herself behind another tree, only a foot away. Hinata takes in a deep breath and holds it, she quickly turns and throws the kunai. The kunai hits a tree with a loud thunk, leaving the girl dumb founded.
She sees the figure try to sneak up from behind, all thinks to her blood line. She quickly turns smashing her elbow into the other cheek, crouches to the ground and kicks the legs out from under the enemy, and as soon as she has the person on the ground a kunai is put to the person's throat. Hinata struggles to gather her breath, but for once in months a real smile grazes her lips, I never beat Kiba.
Kiba stares up at Hinata, breathing unevenly, her eyes turn back to her normal, calm eyes, the viens around them hiding once again. Kiba notices Hinata's almost on him, she's so close this causes a rare blush from the dog nin. Kiba being so close notices the dark circles under the girl's eyes, but says nothing about it for the moment, right now he is content with the fact that Hinata has a true smile on her face instead of her more frequently used fake one.
"That was great Hinata," Kiba compliments, the girl's smile widens and she nods, her breathing to shallow to speak for the moment. It almost is to quiet for a moment, and the teens don't move from their position, until Hinata speaks.
"I-I don't feel s-" Before Hinata can finish her sentence lavender eyes are concealed, and her full weight crashes onto Kiba's chest, the kunai still firmly clutched in a pale hand. Kiba's cheeks go from a slight shade of pink to a dark crimson.
I better get her home, Kiba tells himself, I wonder where Akamaru and bug freak disappeared to.
-.-.-.-.-
Hinata's eyes flutter open, her mind is still a bit fogged but she knows this place, she looks around for a while before her mind clears and she relises with much distaste, that this is her own room. She groans and a hand comes up to meet her head, a headache forming. A sudden blush comes to her face as she remembers just what happened, she past out while training with Kiba, he must have returned me home.
Hinata sits up, the sheet falling down, reveiling to her that she is still fully clothed, she wouldn't expect otherwise with having been cared for by her dear friend. She runs her hands through long, slightly tangled locks, sighing in discouragement at it's lack of care. She looks down at her hands, filthy, then her gaze fixes on the window, it's sunny which is unusual, it was nearly dusk when Kiba and her were training. The Hyuuga heir swings her legs over the bad and stands relunctly, she walks over to the window, the sun is at it's highest in the sky. Oh no, tea!
Hinata all but runs to her bathroom slamming the door behind her. With a quick glance in the mirror the teen sees how awful she looks, but there isn't time to do anything about it, she scrubs her face and washes her hands, and without even changing clothes she rushes out of her bathroom and room.
As Hinata races to the dining room she takes notice that no one is in the halls, but that makes since, the Hyuuga compound is more like a ghost town than a house.
The dark haired girl is overjoyed to see that her cousin is not there waiting for her, that means she is not late, because Neji would never be late even if he doesn't wish to be there.
Hinata kneels at the low table, her hands press desperately at her clothes trying to get the wrinkles out, she doesn't want to look anymore unpresentable. It takes her a few minutes but her hands finally stop to rest at her side, with this task done Hinata can not help but wonder where her elder cousin could be. As the minutes pass the girl can not help but fidget, boredom and worry getting to her, Neji is never late.
Bam! Hinata jumps as a door slams near by, her hand comes up to her fluttering heart, as if it will somehow help calm it.
Hinata looks to where the noise comes from to see not Neji but her little sister.
"I found you, what are you doing?" Hanabi questions, looking as if Hinata had grown a third eye. Before Hinata could answer her younger sister continues, " didn't you know Neji had to go on a mission today?"
"Th-th- He would ha-have-" Hinata stops in mid sentence, yesterdays tea session coming to mind.
"I can not make it tomorrow, I will be gone for a few days, I already informed your father."
It's the only thing that he said the whole session but it's not like they really talked anytime, neither of them went to the sessions willingly, it was ordered by Hiashi.
"Why were you looking for me?"
"Father told me to, the Hokage has an extra important mission for you, that's what the messenger said," Hanabi informs her older sister. "It has something to do with the Kazekage, he arrived last night."
Hinata's eyes could have popped out of her head they were so wide with shock, the Kazekage.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Eyes that resemble pearls bolt towards different directions, Hinata is trying to occupy her mind, trying to think about anything else but where she is going, or more specifically, who will be where she is going.The greeting of most the people in the Hokage's building help a little in distracting her, but the Hyuuga heir arrives at the door she dreaded a little sooner than she would have wished.
Thump, thump, thump.
She wraps upon the door.
"You may enter," a voice answers from the other side.
Hinata inhales deeply before she opens the door, thinking no less that she is in trouble for the other nights events. Tsundae is smiling at her, looking at her expectantly, waiting for her to enter the room, but the blond is not alone and that is what stills the young ninja.
The same person that looked down upon her the other night is now staring at her, his face as she has always seen it, expressionless. Hinata successfully represses the urge to turn and run, but cannot stop the shivers coursing through her body at Gaara's powerful gaze.
"Hinata?" Hinata brakes eye contact to look back at the village leader.
"I a-apologize, you c-c-ca-called me?"
Gaara turns his gaze to the Hokage as well, a little confused at the situation, he thought this was a private meeting, and who pops in? The midnight fighter he now knows as Hinata.
"Yes, you are to attend the upcoming Spring Conference, correct?"
"Yes?" Hinata can't see where this is leading to, what did that have to do with anything. The Spring Conference is more of a high class ball than anything, all of the leaders of near by villages come to socialize and get drunk, and all the important clan leaders are expected to come. Hinata is to take place of her father this year because he is much to busy for as he stated it "silly things such as that" and that Hinata "couldn't possibly mess up something so simple."
"Do you have an escort?" The Hyuuga's face becomes red with embarrassment.
"I-I have ye-yet to ask so-someone," Hinata admits, really her mind has not been on the conference but she would not be sending a good message if she did not bring an escort.
"It is settled then, you and the Kazekage can go together!" Hinata's eyes bolt towards Gaara at the hokage's proud announcement, he does not seem a bit fazed. The teen can not help but think that this was caused by him, but Gaara was shocked himself at Tsundae's plan.
Hinata wishes to protest but keeps her mouth shut, surprisingly though Gaara doesn't.
Gaara can see the fear in the girls eyes when she looks at him, a part of him still loves the sight of fear, but as the Kazekage he must be more civil, he can not force this girl to come with him.
"That is not necessary," the red head's words have an end of the discussion tone, but it would seem the Hokage did not catch it.
"Nonsense, it would be good publicity for you both, the powerful Kazekage walking in with the the proud Hyuuga clan heir, attached to his arm," Tsundae tells the dreamily as if she is reading from a bad written romance.
However stupid the large breasted woman said it, neither party could argue, it seems to Hinata's horror and Gaara's slight delight that they are going together.
I'm glad I got this up before Fay hit me, if I did not I would have probably not been able to for a while. Sorry for misspelled words was in a hurry to post this.
