The Intruder
Disclaimer: The only thing I own in this story is the plot!
Shikamaru: You actually said it yourself this time?
K9puppyg: Yeah Shika! On with the story!
Hinata
Hinata was leaving the Hyuga Compound with Neji. They were going to meet the rest of the Rookie 9 and Team Gai. As soon as they were a good distance away from the mansion, Neji said he'd meet her there, so they split up. She wondered where he had to go that was so important…
Tenten
Tenten was still in the bathroom trying to fix her hair to cover the giant knot on her head. When she heard her mother call her, announcing that she had a visitor. So Tenten decided that she'd just put some kind of hair ornament on the side of her head. When she stepped out of the bathroom she wondered,' I wonder who it could be; it's probably Ino trying to make sure I have this Kimono on…ugh.' When she came down the stairs, walked down the hall, and rounded the corner she quickly came back into the hallway,' Great! What is he doing here! Okay, calm down Tenten, he's just Neji.' She came around the corner again, and indeed it was Neji. She looked at her mother and she was just smirking at her. This…freaked her out.
,"H-hey…Tenten."
,' Stuttering? Hyuga Neji does not stutter...' Tenten thought. She waved while looking at her feet. She looked over to her mother with a look that says "Do-you-mind?" Which in turn, she got the idea and left. Tenten looked back up at him she noticed he was staring at her…intensely. Maybe it was her hair? She then asked, "What are you doing here Neji?"
"I was wondering if you wanted me to escort you to the festival…" Neji half asked.
"Really? Are you sure Neji? What about the bet?...I lost."
"Well…I said I didn't have to…but since you don't want to I guess I'll just ask Temari or something. I heard the sand siblings were in town…"
"Okay, I get it. Let me just get my bag..." She ran back up the stairs and picked it up. Then she ran back down the stairs to where her mother had left. She was now in the kitchen.
"Okay, I'm going now, you sure you're not coming...?"
"Yes, Tenten, now go have a good time, it's not every day that you get a date like-"
"Okay, bye kaa-san!"
She and Neji left where everyone was meeting.
Ino
Shikamaru and Ino were walking towards the meeting spot… (I'm tired of saying meeting spot.) ,which was a bench in the park. They were walking in silence of course. Shikamaru was looking up at the sky trying to count all the stars…Ino was…well she wasn't doing anything. When suddenly Shikamaru spoke," Hey, you do remember your lines right?"
"Yeah…"
"…You're not at all…scared?"
"…No." She looked at him like he was crazy.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She just frowned and turned back around.
"Hey Shika? Did you know Shizune-san was Iruka-sensei's girlfriend?"
"…Uh, no."
"I just found out today."
"Really…" He sounded like he was bored with where her conversation was going.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" They turned around to see none other than Tsunade's assistant Shizune.
"That's not what I heard…" Mumbled Ino.
"What are you two doing in those costumes?" She obviously didn't hear Ino.
"Well we can't exactly…perform in our formal attires…"
"But all your doing is the talent show remember? When I summoned you back to the office?"
"So that's what you said."
"You didn't understand me?" Ino shook her head and replied,
"No one did…"
"Ugh…this is not good. We have to tell the others." With that they ran to the bench in the park.
The Park Bench
It seems that right now that the only one that was at the park bench now was…Hinata. Sighing wondering where everyone was. She heard a rustle in the bush. Alert, she grabbed her kunai. A figure emerged from the bush. It was just Sasuke. She sighed with relief and put the rather…pointy object in her kunai pouch hidden in her costume. She was dressed up as an elf…a purple-ish elf. Sasuke was dressed up like a knight. She sat back on the bench. Sasuke was acting relatively strange.
Sakura
Skipping happily down the road she came to a hault, thinking about something.
'Sasuke has been acting strange lately… I wonder. He wouldn't have ambushed me and told me Itachi was his best friend, he's too…self-reserved, for that. He wouldn't just open up like that! Besides Itachi. killed himself. Oh, no!" Sakura started sprinting to the park changing her course of direction instead of going to Sasuke's house since she knew he wasn't going to be there.
The Park Bench
Sasuke started to advance towards Hinata. Making her a little uncomfortable. Until they saw Shino, Kiba, Chouji advancing towards the entrance to the park. So Sasuke hit a pressure point. Thus, knocking her into unconsciousness and started towards a destination carrying Hinata with him… But Akarmaru smelled Hinata and started barking. Kiba translated,
"Akamaru says he smells Sasuke and Hinata rapidly moving away." So they started running. When Sakura shows up with Naruto, Shizune, Ino, and Shikamaru.
"Hey, guys. Sasuke is an imposter!" She yells after them, Sakura that is,
"Oh, great…"
"Bark! Bark!" If you don't know who said this I don't even know why you are here…
"Akamaru says their scent is getting more faint." That's when Tenten, Neji and Lee showed up.
"Sorry we're late guys, some old lady started beating Neji and Lee yelling, 'Evil elf! Evil elf!'" Neji glared at Tenten after she told them what happened. But she didn't seem to notice.
"No, you're right on time. Let's go!" Sakura yelled that. Then everyone except Neji, Lee, and Tenten looked at Kiba and his dog.
"What?" He asked.
"Well…none of us has super dog smelling power!" Ino yelled that.
"Oh, yeah." Then Neji noticed something.
"Where's Hinata-sama?" Neji asked.
"And Sasuke?" Tenten asked.
"They're off in the forest with Sasuke kidnapping Hinata. Only Sasuke isn't really Sasuke. Sooo, we believe it's the guys trying to steal the byakugan again BUT are only flaw is that someone won't lead the way!" Yes, this was…Naruto. He was referring to Kiba. Neji simply activated his byakugan with everyone following.
Meanwhile…
Hinata was waking up from unconsciousness. She felt like she was being carried around. So she didn't stir nor open her eyes. She just sort of squinted. She immediately figured out who was carrying her. So of course she used jyuuken in his leg and effectively stopped him in his tracks…so they fell out of the tree. She rose up off of the ground, as soon as she fell down on it. She readied herself in a jyuuken stance. As her capturer uneasily got up. "I see you've gotten stronger since the last time our village met Ms. Hyuga." This confused Hinata. She didn't know what Sasuke was talking about. Remember? She doesn't know Sasuke isn't really Sasuke.
"Sasuke-san, I…don't know what you are talking about. But if it's a fight you want. Then it's a fight you'll get." The culprit shook his head and chuckled slightly.
"Oh, yeah I forgot about this genjutsu." Then a cloud of smoke appeared and a ninja from the cloud village. Noting the headband, Hinata got relatively angry.
"Now, that I see your true form. I don't plan on holding back." With this she charged at him.
With the others…
Neji was leading the way.(of course) . Akamaru started to bark.
"Akamaru says they stopped." Neji stopped suddenly causing everyone else to mirror his moves. They all stood on one branch. Surprisingly, it didn't break.
"Why'd you stop Neji?" Shizune asked this. He pointed down at the clearing where two people were currently fighting. Everyone was about to run and help, but Neji's voice halted them.
"Stop. Don't go. I think she wants to fight this on her own. I'd actually rather fight them, but it's best that we just stay out of it." He said that all in one breath…
"I think Neji's right." Naruto stated as a matter-of-factly, as he plopped down on the branch. The others shrugged and followed suit.
The Park Bench…
"SORRY I'M LATE…guys." Sasuke was just arriving at the meeting spot. So of course, he was late. As he earlier stated. "Ugh…" Then he left.
The Tree Branch…
"Did you guys hear something?" Kiba asked. Everyone shook their heads no.
Hinata…
She was kicking butt! With her jyuuken. She blew the dude away. She could've already killed him, but she decided to play with him for a bit. She looked at her surroundings. 'Hmm…If I use Shugo Hakke, then all of these branches would break and maybe the trees too. But of course it being my absolute defense, I'd be protected. Okay…'
"Shugo Hakke…Roku-"
"GOO HINATA!"
'What the?' Just then Hinata was sent flying into a tree.
"SHUT UP! DO YOU WANT HINATA TO GET KILLED?"
"SORRY." Bam…Hinata was sent into another tree.
"SHUTUP!"
"Oops…" Bam…Hinata was sent into another tree.
"SHHH!"
"…"
"Where'd they go?" Yes, indeed Hinata was gone.
The Festival…
Everybody was dancing and having a great time. Except for the Hokage who was pacing frantically.
"Where are they?" she asked no one in particular. Just then, an explosion came from the west. Most people that weren't ninjas started screaming. It was Hinata and the dude…still fighting…
…
…
…
10 minutes later…
The dude is dead. Now it's time to see what she's doing now.
"Hinata, that was amazing!"
"Yeah! You totally kicked his butt!"
"Thanks guys…where's Naruto?"
Elsewhere…
Naruto was staring over a bridge… A little ways away from the festival.There was a nice little pond. Staring at his reflection. Then he saw someone else's reflection.( Hint Hint)
"Uh…hi." Naruto started.
"Hello…Naruto-kun." She replied.
"That was a nice fight you had. You've gotten stronger. Just like I knew you would." He said as he put his arm around her shoulder.
"Thanks…"
"But...I want to talk to you about something."
