Hinata and Naruto were asleep in her room, the latter on the floor, and the former in her bed. Hinata had agreed that he should stay with her for the next night. She found her tough guy front fading quickly, especially when she was with Naruto. The night before, when she thought that Naruto was asleep, she found herself breaking apart. She was constantly thinking she saw him in her window, she felt the painful pulse where her hymen was broken none too gently. Soon, she broke down in sobs, quiet so she wouldn't wake the boy...no, man, sleeping on the floor. He woke anyway, and gently took her in his grasp. With a rhythmic reassurances, and a quiet tone, she soon fell asleep there in his arms. He had placed her on the bed, and returned to his place on the floor.

So when the two awoke, they found a note pinned to the wall. Hinata stood, and read it aloud.

"I want the two of you here, in my office, now.

Hokage"

"Looks like a mission." Hinata mumbled

"A big one, too." Hinata sighed, and grabbed a bunch of clothes, and walked into the bathroom. When she emerged, she was dressed in a short, black skirt with a black tank top. Her high boots were laced up, and her weapons pouch was tied to her right leg. There was something extra that Naruto had never seen her carry before. (I really dont know if something like this is really on the show, but oh well.) A pistol was strapped to her left hip, hanging down slightly from the weight.

"C'mon, let's go." She mumbled, and walked out the door. Naruto, already dressed, grabbed his weapons and walked out behind her.

"We're WHAT?!" Hinata yelled, putting her palms on the desk and standing from her chair. Tsunade, her eyes closed and her head propped up on her folded hands, merely restated what she had just said.

"You and Naruto-san are going on a mission to capture Kiba. He has fled the village, I don't need him getting to anymore of my konuchi."

"He's gotten all of them already." Naruto said softly, looked meaningfully at Hinata, who was shooting a death glare at the Hokage, who opened her eyes, and looked at Naruto very seriously.

"He has violated all the kunochi above a chunin level. But I got a report last night...from the Hyuga Manor." Hinata stiffened visibly, and Tsunade paused for a moment.

"Hanabi Hyuga is in the hospital now." Hinata did nothing for a moment, but in a flash of black, she was on top of the desk, a kunai at Tsunade's throat.

"Why didn't you believe me when I practically handed him to you on a silver platter!? He was already there!" She pressed harder on the kunai, then her anger was overcome by sadness, and she stumbled off her perch, and into Naruto's waiting arms. She dropped the kunai, and sobbed into Naruto's shoulder.

"She's right, you know." He said, glaring at the woman.

"Damn right, I am!" Hinata yelled, muffled by Naruto's clothing.

"I know, I made a mistake."

"Do you know what it's like?!" Hinata yelled, pushing herself off of Naruto. Pushing him all the way across the room to be precise. She stepped closer to the Hokage, her eyes cold and full of anger, and anger alone.

"Do you know what it's like to live in fear? Even if you are strong, when someone catches you in a vulnerable moment, there's nothing that you can do. Temari-chan is the strongest ninja I know, and yet, it happened to her. You have no idea what your...mistake has done to us. I will go to get Kiba, but I promise you," She came in close to Tsunade and seethed out, "He won't be alive." Then, she walked out of the office, slamming the door on her way out. Naruto mumbled an apology, and Tsunade held him back for a moment.

"I know you've only been back for a little while, but I need you to keep and eye on her. She could do something dangerous, and hurt herself. She is in a very delicate position, and her emotions are not in-sync at the time. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid."

"Kiba won't return to Kohana(is that right?) alive, you know that, don't you?"

"I figured as much. I agree completely with Hinata-chan. He should die for the things he has done. I want you two to leave immediately, he was last seen heading west."

"Hai, Tsunade-sama. I'll get her there and back safely." He bowed, and left.

Naruto found Hinata in the same tree that he had the first time he saw her after his return. She was messing with her pistol, loading it, unloading it, taking it apart, and putting it back together. She lined the pieces up in the limb in front of her. Naruto landed on the limb next to hers.

"We've got to leave now." He said softly.

"No, I've got to leave. You're not coming." She stated rather bluntly, putting a spring back into another, unidentified piece of her gun.

"Wha'da'ya mean, I'm not coming?! You can't do this on your own! You always screwed up the mission, even with your team!" Naruto screamed, fed up with her remarks and orders. He heard a click, and Hinata spun around, lifting herself to her feet. She was pointing the gun at his head, the hammer pulled back, and her eyes emotionless.

"No, I couldn't do this on my own before you left. Yeah, I screwed up missions periodically. That was five years ago!! Why can't you get that through your thick head? Things change, even if you don't. You have to accept that. I am going to go. You are going to stay here." She said, letting her left hand fall from the gun, keeping it aimed at Naruto's head with the right.

"What is your problem?!" He yelled, keeping the tremor out of his voice the best he could. "You have been on my case since I got back! Why are you so...pissed off at my leaving?!"

"What's my problem?" She asked, tightening her grip on the gun. "My problem is...my problem..." She stammered, closing her eyes, and grinding her teeth. She exploded in a cry of pent up emotions, all directed at Naruto.

"MY PROBLEM IS YOU LEFT WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE!!!!!!!!! YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL KAKASHI-SAMA!! YOU JUST LEFT." Then she slowly put the hammer of the gun back in place, dropping her arm, and her head, and she whispered,

"You left, not knowing so many things. And still today you know nothing."

"Oh yeah?!" He cried, his anger building with every second. "And what is so important for me to know?!" Hinata's head shot up, and tears were falling from her eyes in waterfalls.

"I LOVED YOU, NARUTO-KUN! AND YOU LEFT!!!!!!!!" She turned, and darted through the trees, the leaves and limbs twisting and bending through her tears.

After standing in shock for a moment, Naruto followed her. He found her, but she was far ahead of him. Man, she was fast!

"Hinata-chan! Wait!" He called out. Hinata brought up a hand to wipe away a tear, and found her vision was off. She thought she was landing on a limb, but her foot met air. She went tumbling through the limbs, being hit my the wood and the wind. She was really high up, and falling too fast to catch herself. Six years as a ninja, and this was how she would die?
