Elphie with another chapter! Kona-chan really rocked, didn't she! I feel a bit hurt for being called a creeper, but that makes up for what I said about Kiba, right?

---

Kiba sat up in the bushes with the scarecrow now recognized as Fiyero and screamed.

"HOLY FREAKIN SANTA YOU'RE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE!!!"

"What the heck are you talking about?" Fiyero looked around hysterically.

"You just went with that girl!"

"Oh? That was just a decoy," Fiyero shrugged. "SO! What do you want to do?"

"I WANNA GO HOME!"

"Whiny much?"

"SORRY! I was TRYING to do that in the first place until YOU showed up!" Kiba explained the actually obvious predicament if you were paying attention.

VERY CLOSE ATTENTION

But you probably weren't.

Whatever.

Fiyero sighed. "Fine, let's go to your stupid village."

You might be wondering what the heck happened to Hinata.

That's a good question. A question that one person may find unexplainable.

Fortunately, I am not that one person.

As Hinata flew and flew and flew through the cyclone she used this weird levitation jutsu she completely made up on the spot. After hovering for a while, she ran into a woman in a bubble. The levitating ceased, and the bubble popped.

SLAM

They two fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Hinata asked shyly.

"I am Glinda; the Witch of the North. And you are?"

"Hyuuga Hinata, uh... Ninja of the... Eight team?"

Glinda gave her a friendly smile. "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"

Where had we heard this before?

"I'm not a witch at all; I'm a ninja. I'm from Konoha."

Glinda groaned, "First a Kansas star, now a Konoha star! Well," Glinda's voice began to tremble at this point, "you've managed to land unnecessarily on the Wicked Witch of the West."

"What?" Hinata looked terrified. "I didn't mean to kill her; really I-"

"Hail Hinata! The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!"

So Hinata and Glinda got to talking at that point because Glinda burst into tears and Hinata felt heartless thinking of many ways to escape the embrace she was currently mauled with as the blonde woman wept a great load of tears.

Hinata really wanted to leave...
