Ch. 3: The journey begins
"Can you go faster Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked Naruto, she was currently riding on his back as he leapt across the rooftops.
"As you wish Hinata." Naruto told her picking up the pace. Behind them Gaara was scanning the area around them, he then spotted Neji and Konohamaru talking to each other outside a hospital.
"Hey, your family is over there Hinata." Gaara told her.
"Thanks, by the way please call me Hinata-chan or something not so formal." She told him before going to her family.
"Hinata-chan, where've you been? The army people took Otou-san to their base. Uh, who are they?" Konohamaru asked pointing to the Chevaliers.
"Oh right, these two are Naruto, and Gaara. They took care of me last night." Hinata said, Neji wasn't particularly happy about what she said last.
"What do you mean 'took care of me'?" He asked eyeing them suspiciously.
"I was attacked by a monster," Hinata began to say.
"Chiropteran." Gaara interrupted.
"And they let me stay the night." She finished.
"Stay away from Hinata, you probably felt her up as she slept, blondy." Neji accused, he was overprotective obviously.
"I'd never if she didn't wish it, she saved my life so I owe her a great deal. Do you love her or something?" Naruto asked him slowly.
"What?! O-of course not! She's my cousin, though we aren't really related. Still, she's like my cousin." Neji countered.
"Hey now stop fighting, we have to rescue Iruka," Jiraiya said walking up. Beside him was a white haired man with a scar over his left eye, you couldn't see his face behind his navy blue scarf.
"I am Kakashi, pleased to meet ya." The man, Kakashi, said. His eyes curved showing that he was smiling.
"Right let's go." Neji said, he pulled out Iruka's Desert Eagle.
"Where did you get that?" Jiraiya asked.
"It was Otou-san's, I knew where he hid it, I carry it to protect Konohamaru." Neji said. They started to walk down the street.
"Help me, I can't control myself." A man in a cloak said as he walked up to them, his silver hair coming into view.
"You?! Take this!" He pointed the gun and fired three times. Mizuki stumbled back into an old deserted building.
"Hinata, please save that man. That's why we exterminate them to save their souls from reverting back to that of beasts." Jiraiya said as he prepared his custom made gun.
"Naruto, Gaara, do you regret being a Chevalier?" Hinata asked them as the others stormed into the building in search of Mizuki.
"Is it your wish to know that?" Naruto asked her in a monotoned voice.
"Hai, I wish to know that." Hinata answered Naruto's question. She placed a finger on his parched lips, "Please tell me." She said as she put on the babiest face she could.
'She is taking advantage of Naruto's devotion, smart.' Gaara thought as he took out her Katana.
"I do not, I owe you my life Hinata-chan, if I have to be a monster to pay it back, so be it." Naruto told her.
"I think it's fun going through time like this." Gaara said to her.
"Very well I'll fight!" Hinata said as she grabbed her sword and ran into the building.
Once inside they noticed the Chiropteran being held back by the group of men, until it leaped into the air and dived for their feet. Neji, reacting quickly enough, leaped over him and fired some shots into Mizuki's skull. Mizuki twisted in mid air and tail slapped Neji across the room.
Hinata sliced her finger letting the crimson fluid travel the blade's length. When her blood started to drip off its tip she leaped after Mizuki.
Mizuki swung his tail at her, which she cut off in a single strike. She continued going through her arch until she was right in its face, switching her blade so she held it in a reverse position, she sliced Mizuki's face in half from the bottom jaw. She landed with a thud, "Remind me to work on my landing, that hurt." Hinata said rubbing her back.
"Now then, I shall explain the purpose of our fight;" Jiraiya said, "Our Organization was founded to exterminate the Chiropteran, and to eliminate the other two queens-"
"Other queens, you mean you already took out a few?" Neji asked as he limped over.
"No your cousin here is the other queen, an only her blood can kill them, and vice-versa." Jiraiya continued, "The first one is Hanabi her full-sister, and then there's Sakura their half-sister. Only Hanabi doesn't have any Chevalier. Sakura however has at least five, the deadliest of them is Sasuke, and Orochimaru."
"Naruto do you remember them?" Hinata asked Naruto.
"I remember them, Sasuke is over rated but he's still quite strong, Orochimaru is the real threat. The others are kinda push overs." Naruto said.
"It's decided then, first we kill Sakura, and we could probably have Hanabi switch sides." Neji said as he flourished his gun, only for Jiraiya to steal it. "What the hell?!"
"You're not quite ready for this, besides first we have to rescue Iruka." Jiraiya said to them.
