Well it's time for the huge two year time skip where Hinata comes back and owns everyone! ^_^

Ch.8- Reunion

Kaito stood tall as he kicked at the stump with all his might. His dark green hair was tied back in a short ponytail and his dark blue eyes glared at the stump. He wore a tight sleeveless black shirt that showed off his new toned muscles, thanks to his trainer Lee, and a pair of forest green shorts. His sandals were black and worn down from use, while he had black tape around his palms and knuckles and a blue headband around his forehead.

"Are you almost done?" A spunky blonde said with a pout and hands on her hips. Her long blonde was pulled back into a long braid and her hazel eyes looking strait at Kaito. She wore a long sleeved faded pink shirt that stopped right under bust and showed off a toned stomach. She also wore a black skirt with black leggings under it; with a pair of blue sandals. "Come one Kaito, you've been at it for hours, you won't break it."

"Like you broke it," he shot back sarcastically not missing a beat. "Go bother Ami or something." Kaito was fifteen and he did like the twelve-year-olds' company, just not that much.

Ami sat on top of her stump, her head buried deep into a book on plants and making poisons. She wore a light blue sleeveless shirt and a pair of white shorts. Her arms were bandaged with white tape until it hit her elbows; she also wore a pair of blue sandals. Her hair was tied back into a messy bun and her big hazel eyes were hidden behind small square framed glasses. "Don't even try to bother me Yume-nee."

"Come on," she sighed in aggravation, "I want to go wait at the gates for Mage-chan." She looked at the two who had looked up at her. "Can't we go now?"

"I think once Mage-chan comes back," Ami started, "She'll want rest, not playing shinobi with you." Ami closed her book and jumped down from the stump, "but it would be nice to see Mage-chan." She smiled at Yume and they both looked at Kaito.

He smiled big, "Well let's go then!" They all walked off to the gates, nearly being knocked over by a green and white blob.

_ (line break) _

"Second time coming back," the blue haired Mage walked calmly with a smile on her face, "and it still feels like I never left." She smiled as her long midnight blue hair was tied up in a nice bun. She wore a blue kimono top with black obi and edging, with black shorts to match, and black sandals. Her arms were bandaged completely by white tape, only showing her finger tips, and around her neck was a chocker necklace holding a little bit of Suna sand. Hinata smiled widely as a spark of happiness flashed in her dark purple eyes.

"Well," Kakashi smiled from the shadow of his green cloak, "wait till you get all your spy missions. Then you'll realize that nothing ever changes around here." He looked down at Hinata, "I'm happy you'll be wearing a cloak again." Hinata finally got her wish and filled out, but maybe she wished too hard. She had a body that any women would die for and one that would turn heads. Hinata had grown out of the cloaks Kakashi had packed for her to wear, and the last one she had was the one she had when she first meet Kakashi in person; which was in her closet back home. He had painfully allowed Hinata not to wear one until they got back, but swore once they came back she'll be wearing the blue one.

"I kind of want to wear a cloak again too," she said with a blush on her cheeks. "I'm getting a bit too much attention from…..everyone." She gave an embarrassing smile and rubbed the back of her neck. "And too think I was the one who always complained about wearing the cloak," She sighed and put her hands behind her head, "I wonder if Lady Hokage has any important guest with her," she said holding the little vial of sand. "I don't want be stuck as a tour guide again." She smiled at her joke and looked up to Kakashi, "But really," she went back to being serious, "no one is here, right?"

"I don't think so, "Kakashi rubbed his chin, "but first you go home and get some rest." He smiled, "we've been walking for the whole night and I don't need you tired out for later tonight."

"What's tonight," she asked looking up at him.

"You'll see Hinata-chan," he pulled down his hood as they entered through the gates and smiled through his mask. "But I just want to make sure your safe-" right as he said that, Hinata was tackled to the ground by a green and white blob. "Did I fail to teach you to look out for yourself and not get ambushed?" He gave a snort as Hinata struggled to get up.

"Hinata-chan!" TenTen squealed as she stood up along with Lee, "Look at you! You've grown up so much!" She pulled Hinata into another bone crushing hug, as Lee hugged the both, lifting them up into the air. "All right Lee," she said looking at him, "You can put us down now." Lee blushed and set the two down; TenTen looked over Hinata with wide eyes. "You've grown, in more ways the one," Hinata blushed, "that's not fair Hinata. I'm older then you and you've already grew up." TenTen huffed and pouted.

Hinata looked over the two, now in their chunin attire. She smiled at the two since they had become much taller and not only that, she can tell they've been working, and hard. "So," she said putting her hands behind her head, "what did I miss?"

"Me becoming a shinobi," the three turned to see Kaito and the twins standing right behind them with smiles/smirks on their faces. "Thanks to grandpa and Lee-sensei, I was able to prove my friends and everyone that I could be a shinobi and not be part of a clan." He smiled and pointed at himself with his thumb. "Not only that but-"

"Stuff it big head," Yume smirked while shoving the head of a flower in his mouth- luckily nothing poisonous- and smiled big at Hinata. "Welcome home Mage-chan! You missed me and Ami become students in the medical ward!"

Ami cleared her ear and smiled, "Yes, it was quite a day. Father was very proud and we were able to meet Lady Hokage herself." She fixed her glasses, "did you know Lady Hokage was once head of the medical ward on castle grounds?" she gave a smug look and glanced at Kaito, "big head found that out the hard way."

"Shut up," he said through clenched teeth glaring at her. He looked back at the three and smiled while rubbing the back of his neck, "I didn't know she could pack a punch that hard." He then got a real good look at Hinata and his cheeks turned a bright red, "y-you look great by the way."

Kakashi stood behind Hinata and glared at the boy with blue shizu in his eyes. "I'm Kakashi Hatake," he smirked and Kaito's fearful face. "I don't think we've properly met."

Kaito bowed, "Kaito Tanahashi," he stood back up, "Nice to meet you Mage-san." He tried to size up and not look totally scared out of his mind, but Kakashi saw past it very quick. "You mind if we steal Hinata for a moment?"

"Pretty please Mage-kun!" Yume smiled big and gave big puppy dog eyes. "I want to show Mage-chan all my training and how strong I am."

"Too bad little girl," TenTen smirked pulling at Hinata's arm. "We've been her friend longer so we get first dibs."

"No way!" Kaito and Yume yelled glaring at TenTen while grabbing Hinata's other arm. "Mage-chan likes us better," Kaito smirked at Lee, "I'll fight you for her Lee-sensei."

"I accept your challenge young Kaito," Lee proclaimed with the fire's of youth in his eyes. "But I will not go easy on you. You will have to face the full strength of the Handsome Devil of the Leaf!"

Ami just shook her head and sighed, "Go on home Mage-chan, you seem tired and over worked. Go get some rest and I hope to see you later tonight." Ami grabbed her sister's arm and Kaito's then dragged them behind her. "You two need to learn when to shut your mouths, you'll get us all killed." Hinata waved as the three faded into the distance.

"I guess that little twerp is right," TenTen huffed while crossing her arms over her chest. "Go rest Hinata, I'll see you tonight."

"Sweet dreams Hinata!" Lee called while walking away with a pouting TenTen. "We promise to not disturb you."

Hinata just sighed and waved, "I would really like to get some sleep. That's sounds really nice," she smiled and rubbed her eyes. "Lets go sensei," she walked ahead, "Sooner I get to sleep sooner I can get up."

"I'll be sure to be at home when you wake, but I need to tell Lady Hokage that we have returned and a meeting to get to." Kakashi said with a smile seen behind his mask. "I never get a day's break," he formed a quick hand sign and was engulfed by a piece of earth. Hinata sighed loudly and walked to the castle gates waving at the guards she passed. She was happy to pass through the gardens and once again know the outlay of the land she was on. Hinata quickly found her house, but a something-someone- was waiting at her door. The person wore a black cloak with red clouds on it, not to mention there was a katana protruding from the back. When she came to the deck, the person looked over to her and smirked.

"It's been awhile, hasn't it, Hinata?" His black chicken-butt hair gave it away, and Hinata could only smile at him. "You've grown up since I last talked to you."

"And you have become just like your brother Sasuke," she walked past him and into her house, but Sasuke followed in. He sat down at the table by the book shelf and watched as Hinata went into her room. "I never knew an Akatsuki was so nosy," she came back out with a sleeveless black shirt, grey shorts, and her blue cloak in hand. She hung it carefully on her door, ready to put in on after I long needed rest. "Why are you in here anyway Sasuke?"

"I call it profiling," he smirked, "ex-Hyuga heiress." Hinata went stiff and rigged but he continued to talk, "I want to know why you were banished."

"It doesn't seem to be any of your concern," she sat down across from him. "How did you know about that anyway?"

"I snuck into the Hokage's office and looked through peoples files to get a better knowledge for them, and your file seem to be one that interested me the most," he shrugged as if it was really nothing. "But back to the subject at hand."

"I still want to know why you care," she asked a bit harshly then she meant too.

"I want to know how big an idiot Hiashi is." Sasuke said with a serious look on his face. "You would have been the pride and joy of that clan, but he threw it all away."

"He didn't know I was a Mage," she said softly looking down at the table, "I refused to tell him that I was studying to be one. I didn't want to be heiress, and I didn't want my father's love to come to me because I'm a Mage." She looked back up at him, "I'm glad I'm out of that mad house, it gave me a real family and a new start." Hinata smiled brightly and gave a determined look, "I'm going to prove all of those Hyuga's wrong!"

Sasuke smirked, "You really were taught under Rock Lee." He looked back at her, "Why not just march up to them right now?"

"You're an Akatsuki, right?" She asked looking at him, "then you should know that it's all about timing." Hinata stood up and opened the front door. "Loved having you come visit but I really need some sleep." Sasuke just stood up with a smirk on his face; Hinata just waved as he left and then locked the door behind him. She sighed, "Time for some R&R." Hinata went strait for her bed and fell asleep, not before pulling out her ice sculpture that Haku had made for her. But her dreams were a bit to vivid for her liking, it brought her back to that odd day.

Flashback

It's been about half a year since Kakashi and Hinata had left the village and went on, on Hinata's last few years of training. Hinata was sitting on her bed; Kakashi had put her on another test to help improve her shizu by trying to create a shield around her body, but it wasn't as good as she hoped. Hinata just sighed loudly and gave up for the fifth time that night, falling back on her bed. It had been a long day, trying to move make her shizu visible for longer amounts of time. Hinata didn't think it was going very well back in the village, because Kakashi had left earlier that afternoon.

"Important business had come up," he smiled at her standing at the door. "Be safe and try not to be out by yourself."

He was gone after that, using a shinobi trick that Hinata was against. She didn't want to learn shinobi tricks when she was a Mage, it seemed wrong. But ever since that she had been trying to complete her test, and was getting tired of her hotel room. Hinata had thought it would be a great idea to sneak out for a bit and get some air. She would stay out of the village and would go to the forest. She smiled at her grand idea and grabbed her cloak and jumped out the window; smiling as the air blew her cloak back. Hinata ran strait for the forest to the hill where a lone Sakura tree was standing in the moon light. She took a seat and lied back in the grass and enjoyed the cool night air.

"What are you doing her Hinata-chan?" Hinata shot up and glared at the figure in the tree. She turned her head away and looked back at the moon. "Are you still mad at me Hinata-chan? I thought you would have forgiven me by now."

"You threw me back against the wall and threatened to kill my family and friends," she glared at him with hatred, "like I would ever forgive you." She smirked slightly and glanced back up at him, "You're just jealous because you have a little competition for me huh?" Hinata laughed as he growled low under his breath, "I never knew you were the jealous type Wolf-teme." She was pushed back against the ground with Wolf straddling over her.

Wolf smirked evilly and bent down so that his face was very close to hers. "You know me Hinata-chan; I'm a jealous fool when it comes to you." He said in a smooth voice that would make any girl melt, but Hinata was above that. Wolf had realized that his scare method was only pushing his mate away, so he tried a new approach. He would play the caring, sensitive, and warm-hearted lover that Hinata has always wanted. He stood up and pulled her to her feet, while removing her cloak and looking her over. Wolf licked his lips, "My you have grown Hinata-chan," he pulled her close. Hinata was only a head shorter then him, but she was about ready to cut that head off.

"What are you doing Wolf-teme," she pulled away from him with an incredulous look on her face. Before she could run a vein began to grow around her body, causing her to gasp loudly. It stopped right in front of her face, and a large white rose bloomed. Wolf was instantly behind her, his arms around her middle.

"I thought you would enjoy it is all," he picked the rose and placed it in her hair. "How the rose pales in comparison to your beauty my mate." Hinata couldn't help but blush lightly at his comment, which Wolf caught. "It seems that I do have a chance, ne mate? I hope that we can…" he kissed her neck, "get better at this couple thing." Hinata could feel the spot where he kissed her grow hot. "Like I said mate, try and not make me so jealous anymore, or I may have to….persuade you in other ways." And with that he was gone; Hinata was left there standing on the hill with a rose in her hair and a blush on her cheeks.

End Flashback

Hinata woke suddenly and clutched onto her bed sheets. She hated when she relived those memories, and they were so vivid. It was common for her to relive her time training and all the times before that. Hinata sat up slowly and looked out her window to see that the sun was getting low and night was close on its way. She stood up and stretched her muscles slowly and scratched her head, "I really need to get out more." Hinata smiled to herself and walked out of her room, grabbing her cloak.

She looked down at her arms and cringed slightly, the markings have crawled further up her arm, that now she had to wrap her arms interlay. Hinata put on her white bandages, covering her arms fully, and then put on a pair of black fingerless gloves, like the ones her sensei wore. Hinata put her cloak on her shoulders, just as Kakashi walked in. Hinata smiled, "Hello Kakashi-sensei," she put on her sandals, "how was the meeting?"

Kakashi smiled, "Great, and I got you just in time," a smirks appeared behind his mask as he pulled his hood up, "I came to bring you to the castle." Hinata smiled as she pulled her hood up and followed him out the door. As they walked through the gardens, other shinobi began to whisper and were headed in the same direction they were, it confused Hinata a bit.

"What's going on Kakashi-sensei," Hinata asked looking up at him. He only smirked and really just ignored her question all together. She began to get nervous as they approached the front of the castle and the civilians were standing outside the gate, whispering with one another and pointing to Kakashi and Hinata. She looked up and blushed when she saw the new and youngest Kages ever, the Mizukage and the Kazekage; better known as Haku and Gaara.

They had their Akatsuki hidden somewhere, but they were some new people added to the mix. Hinata saw Lord Orochimaru with two new Anbu guards; Karin stood with Sakura, Ino, and Temari. She saw her best shinobi friends all grown up. Kiba sat on Akamaru's back and Shino stood beside him coolly. Shikamaru was standing next to Choji, who was also in shinobi garbs. TenTen and Lee waved at her as did their sensei's Gai and Anko. Naruto stood beside Jiraiya and Sasuke was close to the Hokage while smirking at Hinata. Tsunade had a smile on her face and stood in her best robes. The Uchiha and Hyuga family had even arrived to the front of the castle. Everyone one was there, and Hinata felt like fainting.

"My People," Tsunade began in a bombing voice, "my loyal shinobi and warriors of all kinds. Today is a rare time in any village, that we," she smiled and motioned to Hinata- she was standing at the bottom of the steps with Kakashi- "get to honor this Mage with completing their training and becoming an honorary member of the warriors here in our great village!" The crowds began to cheer and holler in joy. The other visitors clapped with great sensibility; Hinata blushed as Haku threw her a bright smile and Gaara only let through a small smile. "Please dear Mage," Tsunade said with a soft smile, "come join me." Hinata hesitantly walked up the steps as her friends began to holler and cheer for her to hurry up. She smiled at them and bowed before her, "Stand," Hinata did as told. "Finding a Mage is a rare find and finding one that is so polite is just as great." A few chuckled at her joke as Kakashi pouted, "You will be great and do great things for this village." Tsunade pulled out her silver leaf village chain and slowly put it around her neck. She whispered to her, "Show the Hyuga's what they gave up."

Hinata nodded and turned around she pulled down her hood. She smiled widely at the shocked Hyuga faces, "I am Hinata Hatake, and I am a Mage of the Konoha!" The crowd erupted into cheers and even the Akatsuki came out of hiding to cheer her on. It felt great to tell the world who she was and to show everyone that she was not the same little girl that use to stutter and blush. She bowed to the village and pulled her cloak hood back up and bowed again before Tsunade. "Thanks you Lady Hokage." Hinata turned back around and stopped in her tracks when Neji stood on the steps, panting from running through the crowds. He looked up at her with a small smile on his lips. Hinata ran done to him and the both hugged each other, Neji spun her around in pure glee.

He set her down, "I thought you had died after being banished," he stroked her hair and looked down at her. "Nothing was ever the same after you left. I missed you so much and Hiashi refused to tell me where you had gone." He smiled again, "I never would have thought you were the Mage outside the manor that day."

"I didn't want anyone to know that it was me, this whole time," she glanced over at the rest of the Hyuga family, "I'm sorry for not telling you that day." It was hard to believe, but Hinata and Neji use to be the best of friends. They played together while they were little and Neji had always tried to go easy on Hinata while they sparred and tried to protect her from her father when he could.

"Hinata," the two looked down to see that Hiashi stood at the bottom of the steps. It was completely silent and a lot of the villagers had begun to leave, in fear that a battle would break out before them. In turn a lot of the high ranked ninja began to escort people out and made sure no one was hurt while they evacuated. He walked up to the two, which caused Neji to stand in front of Hinata protectively as he stopped in front of the two teens. "Step aside Neji," Neji just stood there and starred into his eyes.

Hinata pushed him aside a bit, "Its okay Neji-nii-san," she smiled and stood before Hiashi. She gave a curt bow, "Lord Hiashi," she looked back up at him, "what could I do for you." Hiashi just looked at her, both not saying anything to the other one. It was getting awkward and Tsunade was ready to just leave, but then Hiashi spoke.

"Why was I not informed that my daughter had the ability of a Mage, until right now?" He looked at her with those same cold eyes that had haunted her dreams when she was little. She felt all those fears come back, a blush formed on her cheeks from being embarrass and all the things she tried to get ride of now flooded to her.

"I-I di-didn't want t-to tell you-" she was cut off as he just scoffed and smirked.

"You haven't changed at all. You are still the same weakling only, better at acting." He turned away and walked back to the group of Hyugas and Hinata could feel the heat rising to her face, out of anger. She could feel all that pent up anger beginning to come out, not just towards Hiashi, but to the whole clan, and anyone who had doubted her. All of a sudden, Hiashi was stopped in his tracks as a one of the flowers, from the plants that surround the castle, wrapped around his ankle. He looked back to see that Hinata slowly made her way towards him, her lips in a frown.

Sakura, on the other hand, was in utter shock. The girl that she had called names, teased, and refused to play with, was one of the youngest Mage to ever be at the same status as their teacher's. She felt stiff and even her royal friends noticed, but not Ino, who was in shock, but not as bad as Sakura. She was happy for Hinata, all those years that she looked so shy and barley talks without stuttering, was now this confident and talented Mage.

Hinata moved the plant and stood before him, "I….have changed. And I want to thank you for that Lord Hyuga," she said it with a bit of mockery and knew that she would pay for it later. "If you hadn't of given up on me, and banished me and disowned me, I would have never become the person I am today." She smirked and put her hand on the katana on her hip," You don't know the pain I was put through while in that compound; it was only bearable for two reasons. Neji and my dream to be like my mother," she sadden at the thought of her late mother, even Hiashi did. She looked back at him, "And now, my dream lives on and I will be the pride and joy of this village and its people, not the Hyuga clan." Kiba began to cheer loudly, and began a sea of the shinobi to cheer for her as well. She felt the power rushing through her and smiled as they cheered for her.

Hiashi didn't show any emotion, "You are still nothing," the cheering stopped and Hinata felt the smile drop from her lips. "You were never a Hyuga, and I don't want you to be one. You can't even perform the simple fighting style of the clan, and you couldn't master the Byakugan." He turned away again, "You can have your Mage powers but you will always be nothing, to everyone-"

"Enough!" Hinata yelled and felt the fire being summoned to her arms, "You will never be a good father! Hanabi must suffer through your harsh judgment and never get to know what it feels like to have someone's love that didn't come attached to something else." She took a deep breath and calmed her nerves, "Lord Hyuga, I feel sorry for your family, all you will ever see is tools." She pulled her hood back up and was engulfed by a shadow. He just stood there shocked at her outburst and also angered by it.

"Well," Haku said holding his hat down, "it seems that the ceremony is over. I'll be in my room if you need me." He gave a flick of the wrist and three shadows nodded slightly and took off, being freed of their duty at the moment. One though, looked back to where the Mage had taken off to, and followed it.

_ (Line break) _

Hinata looked back, "All right," she pulled down her hood and looked up at the tree, "I know you've been following for awhile now. Please, just come out and tell me what you want."

"Nothing Hinata-chan," a cloaked boy around her age jumped down, a large sword on his back. He had silver hair and dark purple eyes; not to mention that his skin was pale and he had very pointy teeth. "Just wanted to know how you were able to yell at that piece of trash."

"I opened my mouth and loud noises came out," she smirked and looked him over a bit. "And who may you be?"

"I'm Suigestu Hozuki," he bowed and smirked, "Akatsuki of the Mizukage."

"So," she blushed lightly, "Haku-kun is here."

"Ohhh," he smirked devilishly and circled her, "you do have a little thing going on with the Mizukage. I thought it was all a rumor, but I guess Lord Zabuza was right." Suigestu stood before her, "I bet he'll be glad that you and Haku are going to hook up-"

"I never said anything about that," she said, "I mean…Haku-kun is nice, but we are both still young and I still have so much to do." She turned back around, "Tell Haku-kun that I said hello-" She was caught off when she dodged a kunai that came at her. Hinata glared up at the tree where it came from, "Now what?"

"You can't just leave," Suigestu smirked. Hinata was shocked to say the least, he had moved so fast. She backed away and put her hand on her katana and glared at him. "Oh I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk. What is your relationship with my Mizukage?" Hinata just looked away and continued on to her house, "Oh so you guys were serious. I couldn't have guessed you would have gone for him. I see you falling for that orange priest-"

"That orange priest hates my guts." Hinata said softly as he walked beside her. She gave a light chuckle, "I don't remember why though, I must have done something." She looked over at him and smiled, "Why did you become an Akatsuki anyway?"

He shrugged, "No real reason except for the fact that I love to travel and I love danger." He smirked, "why did you become a mage?" before she could answer another Akatsuki stood before her, Suigestu groaned, "What do you want?"

Kisame smirked, "You don't really think I'd let you run off after the Mage, do you?" He let out a chuckle as Suigestu looked away with a pout," The Akatsuki is getting together for a meeting and you are not excused from that meeting." Suigestu just scoffed but followed Kisame; he looked back at Hinata and smirked, "Nice one Hinata, you got balls I'll give you that."

Hinata smiled, "Thanks," she waved and watched as they took off, "Better go report for-" she got this feeling off being attacked and quickly side stepped, sending a green clad ninja and one in a white top and dark bottom with a scroll on their back to the ground and making them eat dirt. Hinata smiled, "It seems the student became the master."

"Nope," she was pounced on by Lee and TenTen. Hinata was wide eyed and looked back at the other two, which were replaced with logs. TenTen stuck her tongue out at her, "What was that about being a master?"

Hinata blushed and looked away, "You guys are cheaters; you know that? This is why I'm the only one that wanted to be trained by you two." She smiled at them and looked blushed, "Now please get off of me," they let go of her and she dusted off her blue cloak, "you guys are so weird."

"But that's why you love us right," TenTen smiled and walked with her with Lee on her other side. "I've missed you so much and now that your back we can spend all day together!" Hinata looked at the two and smiled brightly and the two. "You want to go get something to eat?"

Lee smiled brightly, "Yes! We can go see Choji-san and taste some more of his delicious food!" He grabbed their hands and began to run towards the castles kitchen, they were going so fast that Hinata and TenTens' feet didn't touch the ground. "The power of youth flows through me!"

"Some things never change," Hinata smiled to her self and glanced over at the two. TenTen was screaming for him to stop and others walking the grounds just watched them thinking the same thing.
