New Confusion

Hinata nodded and tried to put on a happier face for her sensie. "Well, today we got a mission. We are sharing a B-rank mission with cell 7, Kakashi Hatake's team. We must bring a very confidential message to Suna. This message is very important and we are told to be on our gaurd."

'WHAAT?!?!? A out of village mission with Naruto's team!?' Hinata thought despratly. She stared at Kurunai despratly. She wasn't ready to face both Naruto AND Sakura after last night. The sensei seemed to be obliviouse of her troubles.

"We will be meeting them by the gate momentarly. I have packed you each the BARE NECESSETIES." Kurunai said as she passed out small brown packs. Hinata opened hers. There was an extra pair of clothes, water, food. a hand held walky-talky, ect. Strapped to the outside was a simple brown canvas tent.

Carefully, she pulled on the bulky thing. They all had their packs on now. They glanced at Kurunai, who now had her pack on. She pointed toward the gates and they all marched in that direction.

Soon the village gates loomed up ahead of them. Naruto, sakura and another young man were there. Kakashi was, of course, late. Naruto and Sakura looked at her timidly. She blushed and tried to ignore them, pretending to have an animated conversation with Kiba, who of course played along.

it took Kakashi a half and hour to show up. they all stood in silence as he opened the large door. there was a visible ga between the two groups. Naruto and Sakura were trying to look anywhere but at Hinata. The young man that had replaced Sasuke Uchiha walked along quietly. Shino and Kiba were engrossed in a conversation about whether or not they'd be attacked.

The days walk was quiet and akward. Kakashi was busy reading his dirty books and kurunai was trying to keep a log of their travels. Finally the sky over head started to darken. Kakashi stopped in a clearing.

"This looks like a good place for camp." He monotoned. They all set up camp

"Hey! Hinata! Come gather some wood with me." Kiba called. She smiled and went to meet him. Shino waved at them as they tramped through the woods. He was sitting on a tree observing a line of ants. They crashed through, Hinata picking up sticks and branches, Kiba picking up large logs.

"So...umm..Hinata? What's up with you and Sakura and Naruto?" Kib asked timidly Hinata looked at him strangely. Then she sighed.

"I love him and everything Kiba...but Naruto-kun only cares about Sakura..." She turned to head back ad he followed.When they broke through the branches, Naruto walked over to them.

"Hinata? Can I talk to you?" Naruto blushed. Hinata nodded and followed him over to the fire. Kiba went to get Shino. "What happened the other day? Why did you start screaming at Sakura and I?"

"Naruto..It's just..well...you always think of her first, even though she doesn't love you...cause I know I do.." She blushed and stood. Naruto stayed frozen where he was. She headed to her tent and curled in it.

She put her head down and felt tears sting her eyes. She couldn't believe Naruto. How dare he make her feel like this. the tears broke through and streamed down her face. She sobbed quietly. She was so tired. Her vision faded and te world slipped away as she fell into a troubling sleep.
