Sorry that i stopped updating for a while got into my other hobbies and got bad writer's block. But I'm back and I leave you with a long chapter.
Chapter 10 A plan
When Naruto and Ino neared the castle Naruto told Ino to walk around in the woods to the back entrance of the castle he did not want to catch up with the guards. Once inside Naruto felt good enough to walk and separated from Ino. He led her to his room so they could talk alone.
"Ok so where are they" Naruto sat down on one of the cushioned chairs near the fire place. He did not know what but something felt off inside of him. Something was not flowing correctly inside of him.
"They are probably at the palace." Ino took a seat across Naruto. Looking around the room she noticed some amber colored stones on the table by her and they looked like they had something inside them. She was about to examine then when she was distracted by the fire place and stared at it confused by what it was inside it.
"How do you plan on taking me down there I'm not exactly a strong swimmer and I doubt I can hold my breath for very long."
Ino stared at the fire for a while entranced by the dancing light before her. She then shaked her head and came back to reality. "Oh yes don't worry I will just use the potion I used on Hinata on you it should have the opposite effect on you and turn you into a mermaid….merman"
"Won't I lose my voice?"
"No I only took that from Hinata to make the story interesting it's not necessary for the potion"
Naruto felt a bit annoyed with Ino's attitude but ignored it she was his ticket to seeing Hinata again and he did not want to risk not finding her by getting Ino angry. Naruto suddenly felt a release inside his abdomen. Like a rush of energy had just filled his veins.
"Looks like the effects have worn off."
"What do you mean?"
"Neji blocked your chakra when he punched you that is why you could not fight him. If you fight him I would advise you to keep your distance."
"How can he do that?" Naruto rubbed his stomach remembering the hit he took.
"It's a style of merpeople fighting only the royals and special mermen know how to use it"
"Huh" Naruto thought back to how he came down with a single blow from Neji and now he was going to fight him in a new environment and body. He was not feeling very confident in his ability. He sat there quietly thinking about the coming battle. His inner turmoil went ignored by Ino who went back to the flames.
Naruto was losing confidence he stood up and walked to the window looking out to the sea. He sighed and dropped his head looking down at the floor. He then noticed a small bunch of flowers on the floor. He bent down and picked them up twirling the dark blue flowers in his hand. Images of Hinata flooded his head. Images of her when he first saw, her face when he bought her the flowers he held and her smile when she ran through the field of flowers with him they filed his head and filled his heart. Naruto took a deep breath, straightening his shoulders out then walking to his dresser and placing the flowers there. "I'm not gonna give up"
"Ino we should sleep now….-don't touch that you'll burn your hand!" Naruto yelled at Ino and she quickly retracted her hand. Naruto sighed and ran his hand through his hair "what's wrong with you guys I had to tell Hinata not to do that too"
"We don't have anything like this underwater" Ino stood up and patted her dress. "So where am I sleeping"
"You can have Hinata's room its right by mine" Naruto pointed to the door.
"I wonder did Hinata sleep in that room more than she slept in this one" Ino grinned at Naruto placing a hand over her mouth to stifle a snicker. Naruto was caught off guard by her comment and blushed.
"How did you….. we didn't do anything"
"Now that I think about it did she even sleep in this room?" Ino got closer to Naruto and whispered. "Did you even leave her alone?" Naruto blushed even harder and backed away from Ino.
"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
"Of course you didn't" Ino continued snickering to herself and left the room heading to Hinata's room.
Naruto let out a sigh happy Ino had left and shut the door behind her then walked over to his bed and collapsed face first into it. He turned his head towards the window. 'Wait for me Hinata'
He was almost sleep when his window flew open and Ino walked in. "so this is how you two sneak off to each other's room"
"Ino!" Ino giggled at his reaction.
"Good night" Ino quickly closed the doors and jumped back to her room. Naruto sighed and went to sleep too tired to even pull the covers over him.
As the night went on Naruto started tossing and turning in his sleep again. He was with Sakura in the kitchen of the castle. "Drink this Naruto" she held up a cup to Naruto and he took it. "What is it" Naruto eyed the drink. "It's something special I made drink it and tell me what you think" Naruto was about to bring the cup to his lips when he heard quite sobs behind him. He turned around and looked through the half opened door to see a girl crying on the floor. He started walking towards her pushing the door open. It led to a room completely dark with the only light glowing around the dark haired girl in the center of the floor. "Hinata?" Hinata continued weeping keeping her head down in her arms. Naruto bent down placing the cup in his hands on the floor and reached out to Hinata. "Hinata what's.." Naruto tried touching her shoulder but his hand passed right through her. "What's going on" Naruto pushed his hands through Hinata and tried his best to somehow touch her "Hinata can you hear me. Can you see me" he yelled to her but it was useless he was like a ghost to her. She continued sobbing until a white figure appeared behind her. The figure started approaching her and raised one hand reaching towards her "Hinata look out" the figure knocked Hinata out. Hinata fell to the floor and her dress disappeared to be replaced by her lavender jacket and her long lavender tail spread on the floor. Naruto tried his best to reach for her but now it felt like there was glass between them. The white figure then shifted to Neji. He bent down and picked up Hinata cradling her in his arms. He then looked down at Naruto staring straight into his eyes before turning around and walking away with her. "Wait don't go" Naruto banged on the invisible wall that separated them watching the glow around Hinata grow dimmer and dimmer until the both disappeared into the darkness. "Why …why is she gone. Why could I not hold her". "Because you drank the potion" Naruto turned around to find Ino in her witch form floating in front of him. "What are you talk about I didn't drink anything" Ino swam around him "are you sure why don't you look at your cup" Naruto looked around for his cup and picked it up to find it empty. "But I didn't" Naruto looked down at the empty cup. "You did" Ino swam away from him leaving Naruto alone in the dark room. "But I didn't"
Naruto opened his eyes to see the roof of his room. "Hinata". Naruto sat up on his bed and looked down at his hands. "I'll save you" the door to his room suddenly flew open and Sakura walked in.
"Naruto your up that's a surprise" she smiled at him and went to open the curtains letting the sun flood the room with light. "We have a big day of planning ahead of us lets go". Sakura stood at the end of Naruto's bed waiting for him to get out. When Naruto did not look up at her it worried her. "Naruto what's wrong are you feeling alright"
Naruto looked up at sakura looking into her eyes. Naruto had a certain look about him that Sakura did not like. She quickly avoided eye contact and walked towards the door. "I-I'll be waiting in the library"
"Wait" sakura stopped in her tracks not turning around to face Naruto. A long silence stayed between the two. Naruto was not sure how to confront Sakura about what had happened and sakura was not sure what Naruto wanted to talk about but she had a suspicion to what it was.
"I remember her". Sakura's heart sank. She kept her back to Naruto not moving.
"Who do you remember?"
"Hinata" Sakura took a deep breath.
"…are you mad at what I did"
"I'm not sure" Naruto looked down not wanting to look at her. Conflicting feelings welled up inside him. He did not know whether to be mad at her for what she did or not she must have had a reason.
"What are your feelings towards her" Naruto looked up at sakura. He took a moment to think about it.
"I love her"
A wave of shame hit sakura. 'I knew that'. Sakura took a deep breath. "I'm sorry"
"Sakura do you love me"
Sakura squeezed her dress. "I do but not in the way you think. My heart belongs to someone else"
"Then why did you do it"
"I don't think I can ever get the one I love and you have always been there for me I did not want to lose you"
"So you planned on marrying me even if you did not love me"
"I figured love would come later. I thought you would help me forget him but I don't think that can ever happen. I've tried for years to get him to notice me but I don't think he will ever look at me the way I wish he did" tears were rolling down Sakura's face now.
"Sakura I'm not going to say I forgive you yet." Sakura closed her eyes more tears streaming down her face 'I've lost my best friend'
"But we've been friends for years and I don't think I could ever bring myself to hate you" Sakura turned around to find Naruto standing behind her.
"Naruto"
"I want you to ask Hinata for her forgiveness she's the one that got hurt in this and what she says will decided what will happen next but seeing as how we sorta patched things up already I'm sure she will forgive you." Sakura smiled happily as tears continued to roll down her face and she jumped to Naruto.
"I'm so sorry Naruto I was being selfish and only thinking about myself."
"It's alright sakura I'm not mad" Naruto padded her back as Sakura wept into his shoulder.
"Where's Hinata I want to apologize as soon as possible" the reminder that Hinata was not there made Naruto feel like he got stabbed in the heart.
"She should be in the room by you right" Sakura separated from Naruto and walked out his room not noticing his change in demeanor.
Naruto stayed in place until her remembered who was in Hinata's room and quickly headed towards her room. "Sakura wait Hinata's not". Naruto walked in to find Sakura tapping on a lump on Hinata's bed.
"Hinata hey Hinata I need to talk to you" Sakura persisted and continued gently tapping on the lump.
"Sakura that not –"
"WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE IM TRING TO SLEEP" a voice came from under the covers. Sakura was taken aback.
"Did did she just yell at me. I mean did she just talk she could not talk before what's going on" Sakura pulled the covers off of the bed to reveal Ino who had snuggled up to all the pillows on the bed.
"Who is this" sakura eyed the girl who was starting to stir.
"That's Ino the sea witch she is helping me"
"The sea witch but she has feet" sakura eyed the sea witch. 'She looks a lot different than what I remember'
"Yes I do now leave me alone" Ino pulled a pillow over her head and tried to keep sleeping. Naruto walked over to the bed and stood by Sakura.
"Ino wake up you said you would help me save Hinata so get up"
"Save Hinata? Wait what happened to her" Naruto looked down at the ground. Sakura noticed this and worried. "Naruto what happened to her"
"You remember that guy that saved her from the horse"
"Yes the one with long dark hair"
"Well he was Hinata's cousin and he did not like me and Hinata being together so he took her back to her home"
"What but I thought you said you and Hinata worked things out why would she go with him"
"She did not go of her own free will" a muffled voice called out from under the pillows.
"Her cousin Neji took her back forcefully."
"Then gather some of the guards and go after them"
"Unless you have some guard fish any guard you send will prove to be useless." Ino said again from under the pillow.
"What are you talking about" Ino sat up on the bed and stretched her arms over her head.
"she and Neji are at the under sea palace and only merfolk know and can get down there"
"Merfolk? As in mermaids? Mermaids are real!"
"What the heck did you think I was?"
"I thought you were an ugly witch"
"I am a witch but I'm also a mermaid. And who are you calling ugly you're the one with the big forehead"
"Big forehead! Why I ought to" sakura and Ino glared at each other electricity forming between them.
Naruto stepped in separating the two before they started throwing a few blows.
"Yeah Hinata is actually a mermaid"
Sakura stopped glaring at Ino and faced Naruto. "Really!"
"Yeah, me and Ino are going to go down in to the ocean to find her at her palace and bring her back"
"Palace? So Hinata is"
"Part of the royal under sea family yes" Ino said as she pushed herself off the bed and walked towards the changing screen.
"So Hinata is a princess and you are going to go save her from an angry cousin that does not want you two to be together"
"yeah that's basically it" Naruto scratched his head trying to think if her basic summery was missing anything but his thought process was cut short when sakura let out a loud squeal.
"Awww that's so romantic it's like this was taken straight out of a story book"
"I know isn't this just adorable" Ino yelled from the other side of the changing screen. Sakura walked over to the screen and started asking Ino for more details on what had been going on. Naruto blushed slightly as the girls continued sighing and squealing at his story.
"Naruto you have to bring her back the prince always saves the princess in the end"
"Of course I will" Naruto smiled and gave Sakura a big grin.
Naruto and Ino stood on the shore hidden from the villager's eyes in a secluded cove.
"Ok Naruto take this" Ino handed Naruto a vial containing a small amount of liquid inside. He uncorked it and took a whiff inside. It did not smell like much kind of like sea air. He brought it to his mouth and gulped it down.
Naruto then doubled over and clutched his stomach it felt like it was on fire.
"Naruto get to the water"
Naruto started crawling to the water. The moment the water touched him the burning in his stomach decreased. Naruto crawled to deeper water and stood up so as to keep his head over the water. His legs started cramping and he took a deep gulp of air then fell down to his knees. He shut his eyes and wrapped his arms around his stomach.
'what is this'
Naruto quickly realized he could not hold his breath for very long and tried getting to his feet but he fell down again.
"Open your eyes Naruto"
Naruto opened one eye and found two big light blue eyes staring at him.
"Ahh….Ino will you quit doing that… wait I'm talking" Naruto brought hand hand up to his throat.
"Yes and breathing if you did not notice" Ino had followed Naruto in to the sea when he had crawled in and had transformed into a mermaid when the water touched her. Her dress disappearing being replaced by her small dark purple vest that kept her midriff exposed. She swam up to Naruto checking him up and down.
"What are you looking at?" Naruto asked avoiding eyeing her belly.
"Your tail I could have sworn I had picked a different color"
"My what!" Naruto looked down and where his legs should have been was a long orange fishtail. "Where are my pants?"
"They disappeared as soon as you transformed don't worry when you dry off they will appear again. As for your tail it's a basic fish tail since its only temporary I did not want to put too much detail in it"
"What do you mean? These different types of tails"
"But of course. Everyone has a unique tail. Some are long others are short. They range in all colors and have different fin lengths. Ohh what I would not give to have Hinata's tail" Ino sighed and started remembering Hinata's long tail.
"Huh?" Naruto stopped picking at his tail when he heard Hinata's name.
"Hinata has the most beautiful tail in the sea you probably could not tell because she was on land but her tail is so pretty. Seeing her swim is such a sight. Her fin is like a dress underwater." Ino sighed again and started swimming away from a confused Naruto. Naruto tried following then realized he did not know how to move.
"Hey uh how do I use this thing" Ino turned around watching him struggle with his tail. The sight of him struggling made her giggle.
"Pff I figured this would happen just try moving it around babies figure out how to swim moments after they are born come on."
Naruto glared at ino. Then turned his attention back to the wiggling tail under him. Naruto stopped moving and placed his body forward as if he was swimming 'ok just kick' he raised his tail up and dropped it down quickly. He moved forward a bit. "Hey I moved"
"Yes you did at this rate we will be at the castle by the end of the day…..next month"
Naruto's eyebrow twitched at Ino's comment
'I'll show you' he tried moving again. He kept raising and lowering his tail but it just did not feel right. He kept experimenting until he got a rhythm he liked and he started swimming forward quickly.
"There you go Naruto you are getting it"
"This is amazing" Naruto started swimming but at a faster pace and quickly realized how much he liked the feeling of the water speeding by him. He started speeding through the reefs and followed some fish.
"Naruto hold on" Ino swam after Naruto.
Naruto stopped and suddenly became aware of the scenery that surrounded him. The underwater flora and fauna was like that that he had seen in his dream. "This is Hinata's world" Naruto's thoughts shifted to Hinata again.
"You ready to go"
Naruto turned around and Ino floated a few feet away from him. He nodded and Ino led him forward.
"oh and Naruto….when we get to the castle please don't rush in when I point out Hinata's room we have to think carefully when we get there ok." Ino did not hear an answer from Naruto and glanced over her shoulder to see Naruto looking out in the distance.
"Naruto" Naruto snapped out of his daydream. "Did you hear me?"
"uhh yeah I did… we have to think before we get there"
Ino sighed "close enough" she swam a bit faster and Naruto swam after her.
Hinata awoke in a very familiar setting. She was in her room tucked in her bed. Hinata looked around. "What happened" she held her head trying to think back to what happened. "Was that all a dream" Hinata felt something on her arm brush against her face. She looked down to see a dark squid like creature wrapped around her wrist.
"NEJI!" Hinata yelled and threw off her cover got out of bed. She swam to her door but just as she was reaching for the handle she fell over. She looked down to her tail and realized she was chained to the bed post. A large metal ring was around the bottom of her tail weighing it down. She tugged on the chain but it was no use she was not going anywhere.
"NEJI! " Hinata swam over to the wall and started pounding on it knowing that Neji was on the other side. She heard shuffling then her door flew open and a flash of brown swam in quickly and wrapped itself around Hinata.
"K-Kiba what are you doing"
"What do you mean what am I doing do you know how worried sick me and Shino have been" Kiba released Hinata and Shino came up behind him. "We looked everywhere for you we thought you had gotten kidnapped or something. Do you know how much trouble you caused? I was tearing my hair out. My all powerful nose could not catch one whiff of you and Shino's insects couldn't find you either"
"I'm sorry Kiba, Shino I did not know I caused you guys to worry so much" Hinata hung her head she really had not considered the consciences of her leaving much. She felt guilty that she had just up and left without so much as a goodbye. Kiba hugged Hinata again.
"It's fine because you're safe now".
Shino nodded in agreement.
"But can you believe it Hinata was taken by humans did not think those two legged shrimps would be brave enough to take a royal. They swim for shore as fast as possible when a piece of sea kelp brushes their leg" Kiba patted Hinata's back smiling broadly. "Isn't that right Hinata"
"What do you mean Kiba the humans did not take me" Hinata separated from Kiba and stood in front of her two best friends.
"What they didn't then how did you get up there?"
"I….well I"
"She went of her own free will" everyone looked to the door where Neji stood leaning against the door frame.
"Neji how coul-" Neji held his hand up and Hinata stopped talking.
"What do you mean she went of her own free will" Kiba crossed his arms across his chest.
"She foolishly went to the sea witches' home and made a deal with her to turn herself human"
"What!" Kiba looked at Hinata then back at Neji.
"Did she have a legitimate reason for doing so" Shino spoke up.
"No. She did it to go and follow a human she saved. Just saying it leaves a bad taste in my mouth"
"Hinata is this true"
Hinata looked at her two friends and nodded.
"But that doesn't make any since why would you go and spend so much time with those… those humans."
Hinata looked away blushing slightly. A heavy silence fell in the room.
"You fell in love didn't you" Hinata's head quickly shot up and stared at Shino a deep red decorating her cheeks.
"Wait what, that's impossible Hinata would never fall for a human" Kiba looked at Hinata. "Would you?"
Hinata took a deep breath and straightened her back and shoulders. "Yes I did. I am in love with a human named Naruto" Hinata answered firmly not denying any bit of her love for Naruto
Kiba was taken aback and Neji gritted his teeth. Shino stayed as stoic as ever.
"And as soon as I get out of these chains I'm going back to him"
"You're what?" Kiba looked down at Hinata's tail and saw the chains that binded her. "What the hell Neji you chained her"
"If I did not she would not be here right now. She said it herself already"
Kiba bent down and examined the ring around her tail. "Sorry Hinata I need a key to take this off of you"
"Which I have right here" Neji held up a key for everyone to see.
"Damn it Neji get this off of her"
"Not until lady Hinata gets rid of her delusions of being with that human"
"His name is Naruto and I am not delusional" Hinata looked at Neji a fire burning in her eyes and heart.
"You barely even know him! Until you clear your head of these idiotic ideas you will not be getting this key. So you better get used to those chains my lady because you are not leaving until I know you are sane of mind" Neji stormed out of the room to his room which was right by Hinata's.
"Tch what an ass" Kiba leaned down and started fumbling with Hinata's ring trying to find a weak spot.
Hinata leaned against her bed. She hung her head allowing her bangs to cover her face as invisible tears fell from her face. A flood of emotion crashed down on her she was angry at Neji, she felt weak because she could do nothing to leave and above all she missed Naruto.
Kiba and Shino noticed her sobs.
"You really love this guy don't you?"
Hinata nodded her head, covering her quivering mouth with her hand. Kiba let out loud sigh.
"I can't say I'm fully like the idea but if it's for you then I guess I can accept it"
Hinata looked up at her friends. "what do you mean"
"I'm saying we're gonna help you bust out right Shino"
Shino nodded "one can't help who they fall for"
Hinata looked at her two friends. Kiba gave her a big grin and Shino nodded from under his collar.
"Thank you" Hinata rushed to them warping her arms around them both. Her shoulders began shaking as she started crying again.
"It's alright Hinata" Kiba patted Hinata's back trying to comfort her. "We love you. You are like our little sister and as such your big brothers are here to help you even if one of your brothers is being a total ass."
Kiba's comment made Hinata smile and hold her friends closer. She felt safe when she was with them. Their moment was then cut short as a loud crash brought their attention to the window.
"Hinata!" a blond mermaid popped his head into Hinata's room. Then swam into her room
"Naruto!" Hinata swam to him as fast as she could pushing him against her wall causing the air to be knocked out of him. She wrapped her arms around him and held him as close to her as she could. Once Naruto got his bearings he wrapped his arms around Hinata and squeezed her back. It had only been a night and they had missed each other madly.
"how did you" Hinata looked down at Naruto and noticed his long orange tail "…why are you….when did you" a million questions popped into Hinata's head . Naruto shut her mouth by pressing his finger against her lips.
"Slow down Hinata I can't answer all your questions at once" Naruto smiled and looked down at the bundle in his hands 'she's alright. She's alright" Naruto hugged her tightly again making him forget all the nightmares from the night before.
Hinata leaded against Naruto's chest listening to his heartbeat. She was so confused and surprised to see Naruto here in her room and was curious to find out how he got here but right now none of it really mattered she was just happy to be in Naruto's arms again.
Naruto pushed back on Hinata enough so he could look at her again.
"So about your question about how I got here you can thank Ino she got me here" Naruto pointed behind him and on the window sill sat Ino waving softly at Hinata. Naruto watched Hinata eye Ino from over his shoulder and a warm feeling started spreading inside his chest. "I'm so happy to see you again." Naruto pushed his forehead against Hinata's shutting his eyes. He let out a soft sigh and held Hinata close to him. It was like a hole had been filled in his heart. He found it strange that in such a short amount he had become obsessed with being near her.
"ahem" Hinata and Naruto both looked over and saw Kiba and Shino staring at them. Hinata's face went scarlet and she separated from Naruto. She turned and faced her friends holding her hands together in front of her.
"sorry umm Kiba Shino this is Naruto" she turned to Naruto . "Naruto these are my good friends Kiba and Shino"
"So this is the guy who has you going crazy" Kiba crossed his arms and smirked at Hinata.
"Kiba" Hinata hissed. She hoped he would not start teasing them.
Kiba snickered to himself and swam up to Naruto. "Sup I'm Kiba one of Hinata's "good friends""
Naruto eyed the guy in front of him he had messy brown hair and sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils. He also had two red triangles on his cheeks. He had a long dark gray tail and as for clothes well apparent lack of clothing him only had a gray sash around his waist. Naruto himself was only wearing a large orange shirt and that made him feel exposed. 'Ino also only wears a small purple vest do most merfolk not wear much down here'. Naruto glanced over Kiba's shoulder to another merman who well Naruto could not make out how he really looked thanks to most of his face being covered by the collar of his jacket and his hood. His eyes were also hidden behind black glasses. From the edge of his long coat Naruto saw his dark sea-green tail. 'Guess not'
"Hello I'm Shino" Shino extended his arm out to Naruto. He took it and shook it.
"Nice to meet you" Naruto then felt something crawling on his hand and saw a bunch of little insect walking out of Shino's sleeve and on to his hand.
"Ahh!" Naruto swam backwards to the door and shook his hand trying to get the bugs off of him.
"You don't like my insects. Then you and I may not get along well. Why? Because I enjoy my insects"
"Don't mind Shino he can be a bit of a weirdo" Kiba said patting Shino's back.
"Stop that you are disrupting my insects"
"Naruto" Hinata swam towards Naruto worried her friends were overwhelming him. She reached out to him but stopped short remembering that her tail was still chained.
"Hinata what's wrong" Hinata held her tail up to Naruto and he saw the ring and chain that binded her. "What's going on why are you chained" Naruto swam up to Hinata.
"Neji won't let me leave he has the key that will unlock it but I'm not sure how we will get it from him"
"Don't worry Hinata I did not come all the way down here to give up without trying. Just leave everything to me" Naruto poked his chest with his thumb and smiled confidently at Hinata. She found his stance to be quite funny and giggled under her breath. 'You really are my prince in orange armor'
Kiba eyed Naruto up and down. He then got an idea and swam over to Hinata. "Naruto wasn't it I just got one thing to say to you" Kiba grabbed Hinata and dragged her away from Naruto. "I don't like you and I'm pretty sure Shino does not like you either"
"Kiba what are-" Kiba covered Hinata's mouth.
"It's true Naruto I don't think I do" Shino said.
'The hell he really didn't?' Kiba shook his head and focused on the plan forming in his head.
"You show up out of nowhere kidnap our beautiful friend, make her fall for you and when she finally get back home you come back to take her away. You see that makes me not like you. And to show you how much I don't like you I'm gonna do this" Kiba swam backwards still holding onto Hinata to the wall behind him then knocked on it by slamming his tail on it "NEJI GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"
A soft shuffle could be heard from the other side of the wall then the sound of a door opening. Hinata's heart was beating quickly in her chest 'what are you doing Kiba I thought you supported us'.
Kiba leaned into Hinata's ear and whispered "just go with it I have an idea".
Naruto eyed Kiba from his spot. He watched Kiba lean into Hinata. Watching someone else so close to her annoyed him he wanted to just grab Hinata and leave but he knew better than to act without thinking especially in a place he did not know about.
The door opened and Neji swam in when he saw Naruto in the room he slammed his long white tail on the ground. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here for Hinata did you think I would let you just take her"
"Why you weak –"
Kiba swam in front of Neji and pushed Hinata into his hands. He stopped paying attention to Naruto and caught Hinata. "Kiba what are you-"
"Calm down Neji I think I may have a solution to this problem"
