Max: There is quite a bit of made up info in this. )

Grayson: Own nothing.


Tsunde sat in her office enjoying the momentary silence. She had pulled out her 'secret' bottle of her favorite sake preparing to take a large swig of the delicious liquid. Imagine her surprise when her door practically flew off the hinges when it slammed open. There in the doorway stood an extremely hyper blonde and a silent blunette. No fan girls, stop squealing, it's not Naruto and Sasuke. It was Ino, who had conveniently had extreme amounts of coffee, and shy Hinata. Tsunde resisted the urge to slam her chakra powered fist onto the table, she already had broken two that day. Putting the sake on her desk behind a stack of papers she looked at them in a business-like manner. Hinata immediately bowed due to her upbringing. Ino soon followed the gesture knowing at the moment it would be better to be on Tsunde's good side. Ino forced herself to calm down, she REALLY didn't want to have a desk hurled at her right now.

"Hokage-sama." they greeted in unison.

"Hinata," Tsunde returned their greeting, "Ino."

Before she began she eyed the long-haired blonde. At least she wasn't like the loud-mouth Naruto, she would show SOME respect in the least. The she quickly scanned the quiet Hyuuga, she was much easier to tolerate.

"I suppose you are here for the mission." Tsunde stated.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." they droned together again.

"Hm… well I suppose I should begin." Tsunde replied.

"You are to go to a school called Ouran in some land named Japan. Ouran is a prestigious school where a bunch of rich stuck-up snobs attend. You will also attend, we will provide you with the male uniform, and before you complain Ino, because it will be easier to fight if there is the need. The reason you will be attending this 'prestigious' school is because there had been… strange occurrences. They had hired us to send two ninjas to check out why these 'strange occurrences' have been happening. It is most likely nothing, but they offered us a HUGE wad of cash- so what the hell! Have at it. Oh, I forgot to mention you MAY be staying there for the rest of the year. You have two days to prepare. Meet at the entrance to Khonoa at twelve-thirty. There you will meet Hatake Kakashi, he will provide you with a large amount of money to live off of. He will also explain the living arrangements, etc., etc. You are dismissed", Tsunde explained as fast as she possible could, she wanted these two to leave as soon as possible.

"A YEAR!" exclaimed Ino, "YES! VA-CA-TION!"

Hinata remained silent though. Perhaps this was what she needed, a break from Khonoa. A break from all her troubles, a break from Naruto. Hinata's lips twitched into a small smile. Soon Hinata and Ino left Tsunde to enjoy the empty office. Picking up her precious bottle of sake she took an enormous swig, boy she needed a break. Hinata and Ino had decided to have a sleepover, to catch up and such. So they sat there on Ino's bed, Hinata had told Ino the earlier events of the day and Ino comforted her like any good friend. They sat in a comfortable silence, that is until Hinata decided to break it.

"Ino, I want to cut my hair." Hinata stated bluntly. She had grown her hair out during the past few years in hopes of catching a certain blonde's attention (no not Ino), but now it seemed sort of pointless. She hoped that by cutting her hair it would show that she had taken one step toward letting go of the whiskered boy. Besides, it always was bothersome during training.

"Why?" Ino asked in shock. Hinata looked awesome with long hair!

"I want it to show my commitment to letting go of Naruto, besides it always gets in the way." she replied confidently.

"Well, at least let ME be the one to cut it." Ino complied.

"I want it to be extremely short. Like when I was eleven." Hinata stated firmly, she was not going to loose her nerve on such a simple subject! Ino eyed Hinata skeptically, before admitting that she WOULD look good with short hair.

"Alright." Ino sighed. They moved into the bathroom so as to not litter Ino's room with hair clippings. Blue-black hair soon covered the tiled floor. Hinata smiled at her reflection, it didn't look to bad! Ino looked proudly at her work of art, she was pretty good! Perhaps it was from trimming flowers? Who cares, either way she did a wonderful job. (Max: You can imagine what it looks like.) After admiring the well-done job of Hinata's hair they swept up the clippings and returned to Ino's room. After gossiping, chatting, or just enjoying each others company they passed out at about 1:30 a.m. At 12:30 p.m. they had finally awoken. Hinata dressed in her normal attire and headed home as Ino prepared for their mission. Hinata really didn't want to face her father right now, she still felt hurt from Naruto and Sakura. Her father's hurtful words were not needed right now. But she still had to tell her father about the mission, whether he cared or not. She dropped her sleepover gear off in her bedroom and headed for her father's personal study. She raised a shaky fist and knocked on the door. Her father always made her feel so nervous!

"Come in." came the ruff grunt from inside, definitely her father. Bowing deeply, Hinata greeted her father nervously.

"Father, I…. I have a mission that could possibly last the rest of the year." she told him courageously.

"Just don't get in the way." came Hiashi's (Max: That's his name right? Either way he is a bastard.) cold response that he saved only for his dear first born. Hinata flinched as if someone had slapped her across the face.

"Dismissed." Hiashi finished in a careless manner. Hinata bowed in response and left the room as soon as possible. Her father did wonders for her self confidence. Once in her room she started to pack all the 'necessaries' for a mission. At twelve-thirty the next day Ino and Hinata waited patiently for Kakashi at Khonoa's entrance. At two-thirty Ino was fuming, where the hell was that lazy bastard? Hinata stood their indifferently, no need to use extra energy being mad. Slowly but surely Hatake Kakashi walked leisurely towards them. Ino, deciding she didn't want to act like Bill-board brow, had calmed herself down. Kakashi had finally made it to the two kinochi and observed them lazily. Definitely easier to handle than his own team, much more patient too. To bad they weren't on his team, they'd probably learn more faster. Oh well, might as well do his job.

"You are going to Japan." he stated lamely.

"We know that already." Ino replied a bit impatiently.

"You both are going to share an apartment," he began, "and you are going to have this."

Pulling out a small plastic credit card and a large wad of cash. Ino's eyes sparkled, all the stuff she could buy with that!

"You are to only use it for the necessities. I also have an envelope that gives more detailed directions for once you get there." he pointed out, eying Ino. Ino's fantasies immediately exploded.

"You both are going to use a transportation scroll to get there, so as not to waste to much time." he finished, pulling out a scroll. (Transportation scroll made up.)

Hinata and Ino eyed the scroll warily, what if something goes wrong? Handing the scroll, money (money also means credit card), and the envelope to the responsible Hyuuga he explained how to use the scroll.

"Both of you have to be touching the scroll, but only one of you will have to say the jutsu." he explained lazily, rather bored. Kakashi wished he could have Ichi Ichi Paradise right now, to bad the next book doesn't come out until tomorrow. Kakashi, being distracted by his self pity, had failed to notice the two kinochi starting the jutsu. It wasn't until smoke filled his line of vision.

"Am I really that bad of company?" Kakashi asked no one in particular.

Max: I know this was a little fast, but I wanted to get them to Ouran as soon as I could. Sorry. Also sorry for any grammatical mistakes.

Grayson: Obey the lemming. That is all.
