Chapter 2: two new missions

"Regular talking"

"thought"

Hinata woke to the sound of her alarm clock at six 'O clock the morning. She hated the crude sound of the buzzer going off next to her ear, but that was the point wasn't it.

She sat up, turned off her clock and got dressed quickly. Hinata looked herself up and down in the full body mirror next to her closet before grabbing her backpack and heading out.

"Father, I'm going to meet my team now!" she called as she dashed from the house.

Hinata had met up with Kiba and Shino half way to the training ground Kurenai had told them to be at. She was happier this morning than usual because Kurenai had told them yesterday that they'd be going on a mission for about 3 months with tem seven which was Naruto's team.

"Hey, Hinata, hellooo! Have you been listening to anything I've said?" Kiba said interrupting her thoughts. Of course she hadn't heard what he said; she had been focused on Naruto.

"Oh, Gomenasai Kiba-kun. I-I was thinking of something." Hinata stammered back.

"Well, you better get your head outa the clouds before the mission starts or we might get into trouble." Kina said turning his head so that he was looking at her for a few seconds; he was smiling humorously; he turned back to look at the road in front of them and was silent and deep in his own thoughts for the rest of the walk to the field.

When they finally arrived at their meeting place Team 7 was already there as was Kurenai, but Kakashi was no where to be seen. Not surprising.

"Argh! Why is he always late?!" Naruto growled sounding not unlike an angry fox.

"Shut up dobe. No one wants to hear you complain." Sasuke said flatly no emotion showing on his face.

Naruto only glared, viciously, at him. Sasuke had been making him mad all morning and he was barely holding the Kyuubi's chakra back.

Sakura looked on worried, not for Naruto as she would have been a year ago, before Sasuke's return. She had actually at one point given up hope on him. Naruto had put a stop to that. Also just before Sasuke came back Sakura had thought she was in love with Naruto but the second she saw that Sasuke was back in Konoha, he was all she cared about. It was just like before.

Suddenly there was a poof of smoke and when it cleared the silver-haired Kakashi was standing in front of them.

"Yo, sorry I'm late but a black cat crossed my path so..."

"Liar! You were just reading that stupid book of yours!" Naruto snarled, pointing a finger at him. Already antagonized by Sasuke it wasn't going to take much to make him mad today.

"So what's this big three month mission that requires two teams?" Sakura asked anxious to change the subject to calm Naruto down.

"We have to guard a feudal lord's daughter on her way back to her home." said Kurenai.

"Wait, wouldn't she have had guards coming here?" Kiba asked looking very confused.

"Yes, but they were sand shinobi and have already left for home so she needs new escorts." Kakashi answered.

"Okay, so where are we headed?" Naruto asked, calmed down a bit.

"Just inside the fire country's border, that's why this missions going to take so long." Kakashi said.

"Is that all the questions you have?" asked Kurenai.

Everyone nodded and said yes.

"Good. Now let's get going, we're losing daylight." Kakashi said as turned around and headed toward the village gates.

The other seven followed chatting excitedly with one another. (Excluding Shino and Hinata) While the others talked Hinata was deep in thought.

"I have three months around him. There's gonna be plenty of chances to tell him how I feel. Mission 1: guard the feudal lord's daughter, Mission 2: Tell Naruto-kun how I feel!"
