Making A Contract

Hinata wanted to move but she just stayed there and looked in to the boys beautiful eyes. They were so blue that it would put the sea to shame. She felt like would drown in them.

The boy did not move an inche. It was dark over there so all he could see was sparkling, beautiful lavender eyes. He thought that they were like shiny pearls. He then started to walk over to her.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Hinata snapped out of it after seeing the boy coming closer. She panicked and jumped in the water. The boy looked over the side of the boat and just looked around for her. He was confused, he knew he saw her. Just then some one grabbed from his shoulder and pulled him back to the ship. The boy turned and saw Sasuke who was smiling at him. "What were you thinking Naruto? A few more inches and then you would have been with the fishes."

Naruto shook his head. "I saw a girl right here and now she's gone. All I could see was her beautiful eyes."

Sasuke leaned over the railing for a while. When he did not see any thing, he turned to Naruto. "I don't see any thing." He then patted his friend on the back. "You probaly saw some thing else. Come on, I have a present for you."

Naruto sighed and followed Sasuke still thinking about what he saw. 'I know I saw her. But where did she go then?'

Hinata went back to the ship and looked for the boy. She relaxed when she saw him walk away from her. She wasn't relaxed for long after hearing a very annoying voice from behind her. "Hey, what are you doing in a place like this!" She quickly grabbed his beak with her hand to shut him up.

Hinata placed one of her fingers on her lip. "Shhhh, you are going to blow my cover. Now if I let you go, will you keep quiet?" Kiba nodded and Hinata let go of his beak. She then continued to stare at the boy. Sasuke started to cough to get peoples attention.

When it got quiet, he began to speak. "Alright, every one I have a present for the dobe here."

Naruto started to laugh. "So my grumpy buddy, what do you have for me?"

Sasuke then went over to a big object that was covered with a sheet. He removed the sheet and it showed a statue of Naruto in a heroic pose with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. Every one was completely silent. Hinata cover her mouth so she would not laugh and get found out like last time. Naruto on the other hand forced a smile at him. "Gee...you...shouldn't...have."

Sasuke frowned at him. "I thought that you would have liked. Oh, well, it was not my idea any way."

Naruto stared at him. "Than whose idea was it?"

Sasuke point to Jiraiya, who was behind naruto. Jiraiya place his hand on hid shoulder and laughed. "You're welcome."

Naruto moved away from Jiraiya and frowned. "Why would you give me this? I would have been happier with a bowel of ramen."

Sasuke nodded. "Told you."

Jiraiya shook his head. "Look, you're a prince, this glorious statue will attract some hotties, if you know what I mean."

Naruto pointed at Jiraiya in anger. "You sick perv!"

Sasuke shrugged. "It was supposed to be your wedding gift. But I can see that, that's not going to happen."

Naruto sighed. "Look, I think it's real sweet that you guys care of getting me some one." Naruto smirked at Sasuke. His eye was twitching when Naruto said the word "Sweet". "But I can find a girl by my self."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Right, this coming from the person who rejected over 50 princesses. If you keep this up, then you are going to be lonely for the rest of your life."

Naruto walked over to the side of the ship and leaned on the railing, closing his eyes and breathing in the salty sea air. He opened his eyes and looked at the sea. "I know that, but I don't want just any princess, I want some one who is kind, brave, smart, I would like her to be pretty, and to stay by my side no matter what."

Hinata bowed her head down, taking in every thing that he said. 'I'm not brave, smart, pretty, but I am kind but that still wont help me.'

Mean while under the sea, there was some one watching her. She sea creature suddenly smiled evilly. "Well, well, looks like some is in love with a human. I think I should help her out." The creature started putting multiple potions in its pot which caused a light to shot out of it and in to the sky.

Naruto and Hinata heard thunder coming towards them. Naruto turned towards Sasuke. "Did you hear that?"

Sasuke nodded and turned to every one. "Alright every one. It seems that a storm is coming. Be on your gaurd." But right after he said that, a lightening bolt striked the ship out of no where.

The ship started to catch on fire causing the crue to get on the life boat that was on the side of the ship. Naruto was the last one to enter until he heard Kyuubi's voice coming from behind him. He then grabbed a sword that was on the floor and broke the rope that was holding the life boat.

When the boat hit the water, Naruto went deeper in the flames to search for the little fox. He found him surrounded by flames, he spread his arms and stared at Kyuubi. "Come on boy. Jump!" Kyuubi saw his master and jumped as high as it could and landed in Naruto's arms. He carried kyuubi towards the side of the ship where the every one was at. He suddenly tripped on a piece of wood that was sticking out. He threw the fox in the water so he would be safe.

Naruto tried to get back up, but he realized that he had twisted his ankle. The fire was spreading fast and soon it was in a room full of gun powder. Just then the ship exploded which forced Hinata and Kiba in the water. Hinata looked to make sure she was okay but then turned and saw Kiba drowning in the water. She grabbed him and brong him to the surface.

Sasuke saw Kyuubi swimming towards them. Sasuke grabbed the fox and stared at him. "Where is Naruto?" Kyuubi started to wimper and turned his head towards the shinking ship. Sasuke's eyes widened. 'No.'

Hinata saw the fox and the people on the boat staring at the ship. She looked around the boat to find the blonde boy. When she did not see him, she paniced and swam, still holding Kiba, towards the ruined ship. She looked every where until she found him holding on to a piece of was holding on to the board until a wave came and knocked him over in to the water. Hinata saw this and went in the water forgetting that she was still holding an unconcious Kiba. Naruto was slowing loosing conciousness, his eyes were closed. He felt some one grab his waist so he slowing opened his eyes. All he saw was some thing soft touching his face and could see that it was hair. 'Blue hair?' He then closed his eyes finally made it to the surface and carried the two to shore.

Kiba started to wake up. He made a loud and long yawn and stretched. He then shook the water of his feathers which made him puffy. He then flew over to Hinata who was holding Naruto in her arms. She knew that he was alive so she placed one of her hands on his cheek and started humming a song that her mother used to do to her when she was could feel some thing soft placed on his cheek and he could hear humming. 'Humming?' It sounded so beautiful. He forced one of his hands on Hinata's hand that was on his cheek and forced his eyes to open. The sun was very bright so every thing was blurry to him but he knew that there was a girl with him. He could not see much, all he could see was blue hair hanging down her face and lavender eyes. 'Wait, lavender?'

Naruto suddenly heard some one calling for him. He then felt being put down on the ground and heard water splashing. He pulled him self up and looked around for the girl that had saved him but all he saw was Sasuke coming towards him. When Sasuke made it by his side, he was out of breath. "Are..you..all..right. We've..been..looking..all..over..for..you."

Naruto smiled at him. "Yeah, just a sprained ankle." He coughed. "And I think I might have swollowed a fish also. But other than that I am fine, there was this girl who saved me."

Sasuke just stared at him. "A girl?"

Naruto nodded. "Yes, it was the one with the beautiful lavender eyes that I saw on the ship."

Sasuke shook his head and pulled Naruto to his feet. "Come on dope, I think you might have hit your head on some thing. Let's go."

Hinata was hiding behind a giant rock and blushing that he said that her eyes were beautiful. She then felt some one giving her a hug. She turned and saw Sakura smiling at her. "Looks like you made it."

Hinata returned the hug. "What happened to you?"

Sakura laughed. "Well, when I heard thunder, I quickly jumped in to the water. When the boat exploded, Neji left and Konohamaru and I were looking for you."

Hinata suddenly heard some one calling her name and her smiled widened. "Speaking of Konohamaru." Konohamaru jumped in to Hinata and gave her a big hug. She laughed at the little fish and returned the hug. "I missed you too."

Sakura rolled her eyes and pulled Konohamaru off of Hinata. "Yeah, yeah, this is touching and all but we also have a little present for you Hinata."

Hinata stared at her, curious. "What present?"

Sakura smiled. "It's a surprise. Come on." She grabbed Hinata's wrist and pulled her to where the present was. Konohamaru followed them leaving a confused seagull behind.

Kiba shook his head. "Sure don't worry about me, I'm fine, you go on ahead to show Hinata some thing cool. I ALMOST DIED BY THE WAY!" Seeing that he was alone, he huffed and flew to his little island.

Sakura brung her in the cave were her collection was at. when they were in side Hinata looked in disbelieve at what she was seeing. It was the statue of the boy that was on the ship. She gave Sakura a big hug and grinned at her. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, I love it!"

Sakura laughed and returned the hug. Konohamaru huffed at them. "Hey, I was the one that brought it here. Where's my hug?"

Hinata giggled and smiled at the fish. She gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Konohamaru."

Konohamaru blushed and chuckled. "Awww it was nothing."

Unfortunately, the moment was gone when they heard a cough coming from behind them. They turned and frozed in fear. Hinata's eyes widened. 'Father!'

Hiashi was in rage at what he saw and he started to growl. "Hinata, what is all of this?"

Hinata smiled nervously. "W-w-what d-do y-you m-mean?"

Hiashi was loosing his patients. "I mean what is all these discusting items doing here with you?"

Sakura could see some thing from behind Hiashi. She lifted her head a little and found Neji trying to hide so he would not be seen. Sakura glared and swam towards him. "You! This is all your fault!"

Hiashi turned towards Sakura. "You stay out of this!"

Sakura backed away and swam behind Hinata. Hinata glared at him. "You do not yell at her, it's not her fault!"

Hiashi brung his attention back towards Hinata. "And as for you! How could you do this to be, my own flesh and blood collecting these pieces of trash!"

Hinata gulped put stood her ground. "Y-you're wrong, they are not trash! And you're wrong about the humans, I saw them, they were kind and fun and could do a lot of things! I also saw one of them drown, I wasn't going to float around doing nothing."

Hiashi stared at her, his eyes widened in shocked. "You saw them and saved one? Why would you do some thing so stupid? So what if one died, there are plenty more of them! Why did you save one? WHY?"

Hinata was holding her hands on the side of her head. she could

not take the yelling any more and let ever thing out. "CAUSE I LOVE HIM!" Realizing what she just said, she placed her hands on her mouth.

Every one was quiet for a long time. Hiashi gritted his and gribbed his triton tightly. "You LOVE HIM? That does it! If you can't forget these humans and then I will have to make you!" He then raised his triton and started to detroy ever thing in Hinata's cave. Every one just stood in one spot not moving an inch. Hinata on the other hand was trying to calm him down, but nothing was working. She just kept yelling at him, telling him to stop.

Hiashi ignored Hinata plea to stop. Every thing was elimated except for the statue that was in front of him. His eyes turned red just looking at him. 'You will never have my daughter!' Hinata saw him aiming an attack towards the statue. She gasped and tried to pull his arm to hopefully change the attack but it would not budge. The attack hit the statue leaving nothing left but the face of it. Hiashi left with out even looking at Hinata's face. He grunted. 'I'm sorry Hinata, but I had to do it.'

Hinata swam to a giant rock and started to cry her little heart out. Konohamaru was about to go over and comfort her, but Sakura grabbed his tail and pulled him away from her. Neji was the only one left and he walked over to her, guilt washed all over him. "Hinata I'm so sor-"

"Just go away." Hinata was not in the mood to talk to any one. Neji nodded and slowely left, ashamed for what he did. When she was alone two eels swam towards her.

One of them swam from behind and wispered in her ear. "Poor thing. All alone and no one to trust."

Hinata jumped and looked at the eel. "Who are you?"

The eel grinned. "I am suigetsu and the eel that is next to you is Juugo."

Hinata turned and saw Juugo stare at her. Seeing her becoming scared, he smiled. "Don't worry little one, we are not here to harm you. We are here to help you."

Hinata stared at them, curious. "Help me with what."

Suigetsu grinned at her. "We saw what your darling father did you." Seeing Hinata starting to cry again, he continued. "But there is way to see the boy that you love and be with him. Her name is Karin."

Hinata head shot up and her eyes widened. "You mean the sea witch? No, I couldn't, wouldn't, just leave me alone."

Juugo was loosing his patients and placed his face a few inches from hers. "Look here missy. I'm loosing my patients with you. Do you want to be with that human or not?" Hinata starting to get scared again, nodded her head. "Good, so I suggest you take that little tail of yours with you and come with us towards the sea witch or you and me are going to have a problem."

Suigetsu pulled Juugo back and laughed nervously. "Hehehe, sorry about him, he's taking angermanagement to help him with is his...problem. So just come with us and Karin will make your dream come true."

Hinata again nodded her head and followed them. Neji was still in feeling guilty for what he did. He then looked up and found Hinata swimming with two eels. Curious, he swam up to her to see what she was up to. "Young lady, what do you think you're doing?"

Hinata did not look at him, in stead she just continued to follow Juugo and Suigetsu. "I'm going to see Karin."

Neji stared in shock. "The sea witch? Are you insane? You can't go!"

Hinata then turned to him and glared. "Why don't you go tell on me again. You're really good at that."

Neji started to babble. "Well...I...see...ugh!" He then swam away from her and went to find Sakura and Konohamaru.

The two eels took her in to a cave that did not set right with Hinata. 'Why do I have a bad feeling about this?' When she went in she stared in horror at what she was seeing. There were some types of living plant things. She just ignored them and continued deeper in the cave.

"Hello little one." Hinata turned to where the voice was coming from. There was a woman, she thought any way. She had long red hair and her lower body had tentacles. Hinata just stared at her. The creater swam over to her and frowned. "Hmm, I've seen worse, I suppose." Suigetsu and Juugo both just rolled their eyes.

Hinata frowned. 'You're the one to talk.' "Are you Karin?" Karin nodded her head and smirked at her. "Of course I am! Now then, you have a problem. You are in love with a human huh." After seeing the girl nodd, Karin continued. "Well it's simple, if you want to be with him, you will have to be come a human your self."

Hinata stared at her with wide eyes. "Can you do that?"

Karin just snapped her fingers. "Piece of cake. But, it's going to cost you. It's nothing bad or any thing, all I need is...your voice."

Hinata stared at her. "But if I give you my voice, how can I -"

"You've got your looks and your some what pretty face, of course not as pretty as mine, and don't forget the importance of body language. Hinata covered her eyes as Karin started shaking her butt. She then made a golden contract form right in front of her. "Now then, the contract is simple. You have three days of being human, that should give you enough time for the boy to kiss you. But it's not just any kiss, it has to be a kiss of true love. Now, if he does kiss you in that time then you become a human permenatly, but if you don't then your soul belongs to me. So, do we have a deal?"

A pen formed in front of Hinata and she just stared at the contract. She held her breath and signed the contract. The pen and contract dissapeared, leaving Karin smiling evily. Karin then started putting a couple of bottles of different types of potions in them and dumped them in the pot. When it was completed she then turned to Hinata. "Sing." Hinata started to sing and two glowing hands came from the pot and went towards Hinata. "Keep singing. Almost there." Hinata just kept singing and the two hands went in to Hinata's mouth and took away her voice right out of her throat. A small ball of light that was her voice went in to Karin's shell necklace.

Karin started to laugh loudly and gave her the potion. A giant bubble swallowed her whole body. Hinata started to struggle, her lavender tail turned in to tow human legs. The bubble popped and she was having trouble swimming and was also having trouble breathing.

Then out of no where, Sakura came and grabbed Hinata and swam up to shore as fast as she could with Konohamaru and Neji following from behind. Karin just stared at them and continued to laugh. 'Hahaha soon the king's triton will be mine, hahahaha!'
