Disclaimer: we always want what we can't have… I happen to want to own Naruto, but I don't!
Neji went to His house and immediately gabbed the bag he had packed for emergency situations. And he was silently hoping that Naruto and Sakura were doing the same. He knew Naruto would not leave his friends in trouble so earlier he chose not to say anything to him or Sakura he just hoped he made the right choice in trusting the man. They had agreed to meet at the Village gate.
When Neji was done packing he immediately left for the gate. About five Minutes after he arrived, Sakura and Naruto ran up. Neji was so relived he almost smiled but changed his mind he didn't want to make them think they could relax.
Naruto yelled "good Neji you're here, let's go find Hinata- Chan!"
Sakura simply said "good Afternoon Neji –Kun, shall we leave"
Neji nodded a greeting then turned to leave Sakura and Naruto were on his tail.
Neji checked the map to make sure they were on the right path to Hinata and stopped when he came to a split in two roads one leading to a vast empty space and the other into the forest and he looked at the map and seen that the place where Hinata circled on the map was in the forest. Neji pointed that way and sped up. Naruto was ANBU, and Sakura was Jounin and trained By the Hokage so Neji knew they would both be able to keep up.
On the way to where Hinata was they seen many men laid out. Some looked like Ninja others like regular Bandits. Naruto asked
"Are they dead?"
Sakura was about to bend down and check but before that Neji called out Byakugan and let them know the situation.
"They aren't dead but they will not be able to move for about two days, most of their main chakra points have been closed most likely the work of Hinata"
Naruto was surprised! Hinata had done all of this by herself?! And it took even more skill to close all of those chakra points without killing the person. Hinata had gotten good, really good. And he didn't even realize.
Neji Kept his Byakugan Activated they were on the point that Hinata had circled on the map now all they had to do was find her and the family.
All three Shinobi heard a loud yell and the word "bitch" being yelled out by a man Neji looked in that direction and he could see Hinata surrounded by about 15 men not counting the 5 that were already in the ground.
Neji signaled to Sakura and Naruto to let them know that the yell had come from Hinata's direction.
They quickly jumped through the trees to get to where Hinata was.
Hinata was surrounded and the family was close by her side. She knew her goal was to protect the family at all costs. A man jumped at the queen Hinata quickly blocked his attack. A woman went after Enro. And Hinata quickly did a round House Kick to her face. Though they were ninja their chakra had not been trained well. They weren't able to use any High level Shinobi techniques, but there were strength in numbers and Hinata knew she would have to get the family away from them quickly. A woman was coming after Hinata from Behind while she was fighting two other men. She seen her coming but she had her hand full, just as the woman was about to attack, a kunai knife landed in the shoulder blade form the back, and she collapsed. Hinata finished off her opponent at hand then spun around to see who had attacked her enemy.
Neji landed on a thick tree branch on the tree to the right of Hinata. Hinata looked up at Him, she was about to go and greet him but a man lunged for Mizu. Hinata did a spinning back kick to his head and Neji jumped down of his perch to assist her. When she looked to her left Naruto was also helping her. When the enemies were all unconscious Hinata checked the vicinity with her Byakugan, when she seen there were no more she relaxed a little and turned to greet her help.
Neji-nii-san! Thank you so much for coming!
Neji bowed slightly to show respect and said "it was no problem at all Hinata-sama."
Hinata looked and seen Naruto and Sakura together and her smile faltered just a little but she quickly got a hold of herself.
"Naruto-kun and Sakura-san, thank you for coming as well."
Naruto smiled brightly at her and held up the peace sign and said quite loudly
"Glad I could help Hinata-Chan!"
Hinata blushed a little, and looked down at her shoes. then Sakura said
"Hey Hina-chan, how's it goin'?"
Enro walked up and tugged on Hinata's pant's leg and said
"Okami-chan (wife) who are they?"
Neji lifted an eyebrow at the little boy and said
"Okami?"
Hinata smiled down at the boy and said (she's used to it now)
"Sorry I didn't introduce you guys, these are the people the Hokage sent to help me out."
She pointed to them as she introduced them.
"This is Hyuuga Neji, Uzumaki Naruto, and Haruno Sakura. And they are Aizawa Emi, Aizawa Mizu, and Aizawa Enro.
After they said they're greetings they were on their way. They stayed on guard looking around for any sign of the enemy.
All of a sudden there was an attack. Two men wearing read and black cloaks with clouds on them appeared.
Neji said under His breath
"Akastuki"
One of the men looked at them and said
"OH! if it isn't the Kyuubi boy! Looks like we scored big this time, the queen and the Kyuubi! Perfect."
The four Shinobi surrounded the family, and took their stances. They were two of the Akastuki that they had not fought yet. They didn't know what they were up against but they knew it would not be an easy task.
The other man said as he disappeared
"How cute! Look at them thinking they can stop us!"
He reappeared in front of Sakura and licked her face then disappeared again and reappeared in the spot where He first stood. She's pretty too bad I'll have to kill her.
Sakura was disgusted but she was Ninja! In battle she could not let her guard down.
Naruto was pissed! He marked the man down as his personal target. No one did that to his Sakura- Chan!
Hinata and Neji how ever were cool. Hinata stayed on guard and stepped back a little so that she could be closer to the family. She mentally calculated her plan of attack.
With the situation at hand it might not be wise to attck first. But attacking second could mean the loss of a life. Or the kidnapping of the family. She glanced at Neji to see if he had come up with a solution. He was doing a series of seals. Looks like he decided to attack first. She decided she would be his back up she whispered to him
"Neji-nii-san left or right?"
He knew exactly what she meant. Was he attacking the man on the left or right? He decided he was going left so he whispered back
"Left, north"
She new he meant he was going for an aerial attack so she would be his back up just in case he missed.
She whispered back
"Left, south"
She would be attacking the man from the bottom.
Neji was on a move; He disappeared and reappeared above the man. The man jumped up to meet him in mid air. They were Fighting Throwing combinations of punches and kicks. Neji was an expert at close combat but it was hard to maneuver because he was in mid air.
Hinata decided that now was a perfect time to attack! She did a series of Hand gestures and called out "Hisan- ya no jutsu" and five Chakra arrows shot out at the man. He seen the attack coming and quickly backed away from Neji to dodge the attack. Hinata knew she was the next target so she got into her stance and readied herself. The man appeared uncomfortably close behind Hinata. She spun around quickly and spat out.
"You and your friend really like to violate people's privacy don't you?"
The man licked his lips and hissed back
"Yeah, and unfortunately for you I find you much more attractive than the other chick"
Enro watched on in horror as the man got to close to his "wife". He pointed to Neji and called out…
"Hey you! Come get him off my wife"
Emi looked at her son horrified! She grabbed him by the mouth to shut him up. There was no need to draw attention back to them! She looked at Neji and mouthed an apology.
The Akastuki looked at Hinata and said
"Looks like I'm not the only one with the hots for you."
Hinata attacked. She aimed for all of the main Chakra points she seen using her byakugan. She missed numerous times and it looked like the man was finally ready to attack in response. Judging form the head band that had a slash through the original picture in the metal she knew he was from the sound village. Their attacks were fierce!
When the man was finished putting together his combination, Hinata heard a very high pitched noise that echoed through her brain. Her head throbbed. She felt like she was bleeding from the ears. The pain was so excruciating that Hinata could not stand on her legs she dropped to one knee and Naruto immediately ran to her aide. Judging from his quick movements Hinata figured that the technique had only affected her. She said to him
"Naruto-kun you have to stop his hand movements! You can't allow him to use his techniques they render you temporarily immobile"
Naruto nodded his understanding and let Hinata go she almost fully recovered enough from the attack to stand on her own two feet. Hinata stood and wobbled slightly. She was seeing double and she had stopped using her Byakugan. She stood and slowly she could see two Sakura's condensing into one. She activated her byakugan again. The only problem now was that she had an excruciating head ache.
She looked around to analyze the situation. She knew one of the enemy's fought using sound and judging by how Sakura kept spinning around in circles, and punching the ground with her brute strength in random places, she guessed the other one fought using speed. This defiantly would prove to be a problem she had to think. None of the techniques she had developed were effective against sound but the technique that she developed in the water fall would prove helpful against speed. She had to stop at least one of them for now. She called out
Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō and streaks started to form around her. .the men had never seen the Technique before so they decided it was best that they attack now while the attack hadn't touched them . The speed ninja ran into the streaks of lights that Hinata had created and immeditly got thrown back. He had a series of cuts and brusises and though he was still able to move he was not able to run at the speed that he had been running at previously. So he was not as much of a threat as he was before but Neji still thought they should finish Him off while he was down.
He took he chakra-laced hand and put it to the man's chest. The man jumped up slightly and fell back to the ground. Sakura came up and checked to see if the man was still alive and Neji had indeed killed him.
The other man looked at his dead comrad and laughed at his weakness. He didn't deserve to be in the Akastuki anyway. He bent down and took the ring that signified Akastuki member ship.
The man looked at Hinata she was breathing heavely, it aperantly took a lot to do that move. He decided he would get rid of her first.
Hinata did not have her byakugan activated. The man apperaed behind her and thrust a kunai knife into her back. Hinata grunted from the pain and and blood started to run from the side of her lips. She stumbled backwards and her back hit a tree hard and another groan escaped from her mouth. The man was walking to finish her off. Apparently forgetting about her teammates. Neji dispperead from his spot and appeared in front of Hinata using his 64 palms technique to stop the man. The man jumped backward and Sakura used her brute strenth to punch down on the man . The man did another tchnique on Sakura the same on he used on Hinata while Sakura screamed from the pain Naruto called out
"Rasengan" coming from the air.
Naruto had landed contact on the mans arm. He was no longer able to make his hand signs meaning he was no longer able to attack he retreated into the trees calling them every curse word that he could think of.
Hinata was barely moving she pulled the Kunai knife out of her back with a sigh. She could feel the blood trikiling down her back. Enro was horrified yelling.
"oh my god! Oh my god! Look what they did to my wife!"
Hinata stood up and stumbled backward but quickly caught her balance. She smiled at the little boy and said
"don't worry Enro-san it doesn't even hurt."
She rubbed his head gently to show that she was okay. Then she heard Sakura yell
"Hinata- chan! You have to stop moving around so much. Let me look at you back" Hinata turned around so Sakura could see her back. Then sakura said
"you have to remove your top garments Hinata-chan"
"Oh! Hai!"
Hinata was about to take off her shirt when she thought back to Sakura and Naruto kissing.
"on second thought Sakura –san I'm fine"
"at least let me put the bandages on you!"
"I'm fine"
Hinata- chan!"
"I'm fine really "
she smiled at Sakura. It was a smile the had finality to it. Sakura couldn't argue anymore. But Neji wasn't quite convinced he had to check and make sure. He whisperd
"Byakugan".
He seen that her Chakra level had been Dangerously depleted. So he said
"I think we should rest here it's getting dark"
The all set up there futons in a cave nearby. Naruto and Sakura were cuddled up. Hinata watched them and her eyes got slightly watery and she couldn't take it anymore so she put on a fake smile and said
"I'm going to scout the Area to make sure there are no more enemies about"
She got up and left the cave and heard a nearby waterfall. She walked to it and stared. On a normal night she would have stepped into the water and praticed her new technique but she knew that her Chakra level was too low for the technique and the cut on her back was really starting to irritate her. She knew that not telling them about it could put them in danger but she didn't really want anyone that close to her. Especially not Sakura. She didn't really want to but feel that way, but she keep on thinking that it was all Sakura's fault. And on top of all that she feels like a bad person for feeling that way. Sakura was a kind hearted person. It wasn't her fault that Naruto loved her.Hinata's brain Understood that, but tell that to Hinata's heart.
She sat by the waterfall and put her feet in the water and started singing one of her favorite songs. It was all about heart break and she put her whole heart into the song. She was really feeling it. Maybe it was because she could relate?
She sung :
I know what I said
Was heat of the moment
But theres a little truth in between the words we've spoken
Its a little late now to fix the heart thats broken
Please dont ask me where i'm going
Cuz i dont know
No i dont know anymore
It used to feel like heaven
Used to feel like may
I used to hear those violins playing our strings like a symphony
Now they've gone away
Nobody wants to face the truth
But you wont believe what love can do
Till it happens to you
Till it happens to you
She heard movement in the bushes she jumped up and got on guard activating her Byakugan immediately. Then she seen who it was a relaxed and said
"Neji-nii-san, if you're here who is to watch Emi-san and the others?"
"Naruto and Sakura are there"
She smiled, but her voice was sad, she said
"Paying too much attention to each other, to pay much attention to anything else"
Neji looked at her attentively and said
"Hinata-sama, you should let Sakura tend to your back. It's dangerous to go into battle like that"
she smiled up at him and said
"Guess I can't fool you huh, Neji-nii-san?"
"Not many people can"
Hinata looked up at him with sad eyes and said
"Will you do it Neji-nii-san? I don't feel right asking Sakura to do it for me…"
"Hinata-sama I am not trained in the ways of a medical Ninja. I don't know how…"
Hinata reached in her bag and searched for something she pulled out to jar one with a red dot and one with a green dot. She put the one with the red dot back in her pouch and said
"Here just rub this on my back."
"What is this Hinata-sama?"
"Well I grow medicinal Herbs in my garden and this medicine is good for healing wounds and returning your Chakra level back to normal. But it only work when a person's Chakra level is low…like mine"
Neji studied the Jar he had in his hand and looked back at Hinata and said
"Fine, Hinata-sama. I'll treat your back"
"Great!"
Hinata blushed madly then said a little above a whisper
"Can you please turn around... so that I can take my top off?"
Neji's eyes widened. But he mentally scolded Himself "get yourself together this is no time to be embarrassed you have to treat her so that she is able to complete the mission"
Neji nodded then turned around so that Hinata could undress. He heard a faint "okay" then turned around to see Hinata laying face down on the ground, using her shirt as cushion. Neji got down on his knees so that he was able to reach her and began to rub the medicine on her back. He seen her eyes close and heard a slight moan escape her lips, and his cheeks reddened a little.
After he completed putting the medicine on her back he looked at it. The hole in her back started to close up slowly and Neji was amazed. He activated his byakugan and her Chakra had indeed been restored almost to its normal level. He was impressed.
HE stood up and turned around and said
"okay, Hinata –sama you can put your shirt back on now"
Hinata opened one eye then the other. Apparently it felt so good she fell asleep. She got up and put her shirt on but decided to keep her jacket off.
She walked around so that she was facing him and said
"thank you so much neji- nii- san! So… how did it work? Did my back start to heal?
"yeah, instantly…. You said you made that?"
she smiled at him and said
"Yes, I needed to test it, and this was the perfect time to, looks like it works!"
"Test it?"
Hinata mentally scolded herself she had not meant to tell Neji it was not human tested yet. She thought up something quick so he wouldn't be upset
"well umm I tested it! But uh not on humans yet…"
He folded his arms and lifted an eyebrow at her, and she felt like she was two again trying to get herself out of trouble
"I didn't need to test it on Humans before this…And I didn't want to use it someone else and cause injury to another person, so I thought it was perfect to test it on myself…"
He looked at her again then smiled a half smile at her. And said
"well at least it worked…"
Hinata looked up at him and smiled brightly at him and sai d
"hai!"
"Lets go back to the camp site"
Hinata followed Neji with a smile on her face…
