Chapter 7
Captured
It was dark out when the young Hyuga heiress quickly ran towards the gates of her clan. She knew she was in trouble when she heard the heavy metal gates of the compound slam together and seal. Before she could even breathe in, a hand was around her mouth.
" Stay Quiet and obey, or we might just have to slit that pretty little throat of yours." A deep voice pierced the night's silence. In the glow of the moonlight, Hinata could see a crystal kunai held up to her throat.
Suddenly, Everything around her went bright, like she was being swallowed by the sun. A chill rushed up her spine as her body froze in place.

A few hours later, Neji woke up panting, his face in a cold sweat. Something had happened to Hinata, he knew. He had to find her…
Neji jumped up and hurried out of the estate. He headed straight to the Inuzuka territory. If anybody knew where Hinata was last, it would be Kiba.
Kiba woke to a hard pounding on the front door. He groggily rubbed his eyes as he opened the front door of his house. There, on his porch, was a wide-awake and alert Neji looking with eyes full of sharp determination.
Kiba yawned and stretched out his arms. " Neji, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be watching Hinata at the mansion?"
"Where did you last see Hinata?" the Hyuga wasted no time with small talk.
"She was going home after we went on a date." Kiba yawned, still trying to become fully awake. "Why do you ask?"
"Hinata never came to the estate." Neji told the Inuzuka boy. "I believe she has been captured."
Kiba's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and surprise. He was suddenly fully alert.
Neji's sharp expression didn't change. "I believe our enemies have finally started their attack."
"What can you do?" Under all that unruly brown hair, Kiba's head was full of worry and paranoia.
"The only thing I can do is go after her" Neji stated. The Hyuga boy turned to leave the porch.
"Wait a second!"
Neji turned around quickly, his hair snapping against his neck from his fast movements. He faced the Inuzuka once more.
"I'm coming with you."

It was early dawn and most of Konoha was just waking. Right now, only a few early risers were up, and two boys who had traveled through the night, hoping to find the Hyuga heiress known as Hinata.
Kiba looked over at Neji. He still looked the same as he had when they began their rescue mission, alert and full of energy. He also had that same look of sharpness on his face, which seemed to make his eyes look more powerful.
"So, where exactly are we going?" Kiba called to Neji who was a few feet ahead of him.
"To a place up in the mountains."
"But how do you know Hinata will be there?"
Neji didn't know Hinata would be there, but somewhere inside of him, he just knew this was the location. It was like he was born with this information and it was his destiny to rescue the heiress. No matter what that hyperactive little blonde haired ninja had said to him in the chunin exams, he still believed in destiny.
Neji did however, realize that people could change or screw up destiny, making things inevitably worse.
"Hey, I asked you a question?" Kiba's voice sounded a bit annoyed.
"It must be the Hyuga ancestors telling me where she is." Neji lied.
Neji looked closely at the Inuzuka hopping branch to branch behind him. This was a first person experience of screwing up destiny. This dog boy could have the chance to ruin everything. But, he could also make Neji's job easier. It was just a risky choice that Neji knew he had to take.
As the boys traveled towards the mountains, Hinata was becoming lost. She knew it wouldn't be long before these strange people woke her up from their bizarre cryo sleep jutsu and tried to take her special ability.
Finally at the climax! Hurray for action! I want everyone to know there are only a few more chapters though before this story will stop. Then, it will be continued in it's sequel. So yeah for the story! oh and CJ, don't bury me alive! lol.
