Chapter 6: Alliance
Sound Village
In the village head house, a group of people have gathered for a meeting. However, unlike their casual meetings, they were joined by a guest for today. With the exception of Orochimaru, everyone in the room was staring at the odd looking 'man'. The person was sitting next to the village leader, grinning with his eyes closed.
"So it's agreed?" Hakai said as he chuckled.
"Yes. Soon Konoha will be in my grasp!" Orochimaru said with an icy cold tone, grasping his hand.
"You do whatever you want. I'm only interested with the boy...." Hakai said coldly, glaring at the group. "Now if you excuse me, I'm going to make a call." Hakai said further. He then gets up and walks out of the room.
"A call?" said one of the staffs quietly.

Small cracks formed on the ground, resulted from the impact. Lee was lying on the ground, covered with bruises. Akira walk towards the unconscious boy.
"Hmm....I hope I didn't do to much damage." Akira thought with concern, checking on Lee's condition. Everyone else head towards him, trying to check on Lee. Gai look at Akira, feeling impressed.
"Wow, I'm impressed. I have never seen anyone with those kinds of skills before." Gai complimented, shaking hands with Akira. Shino just stands silently as he looks at Lee.
"Wow...This guy's tough." Shino thought to himself.
A few seconds later, they turn their attention towards Lee as they heard grunting noises.
Lee wakes up, only to find himself staring at a group of people. Akira then held out his hand to Lee and helps him to stand up. Lee looked at him with confusion, wondering why he was smiling.
"That was a good match." Akira said as he pulls Lee up. "Maybe we could have another round someday." Akira added, smirking. Lee could just smile at his statement, brushing off the dirt from his clothes.
Naruto slowly walks closer to the group and stands behind Gai.
"Pff! I could do better than that!" Naruto thought out loud, pouting out of jealousy.

Hakai was standing on one of the balconies of the head house. He then takes out some kind of communicator from his pocket.
"Tell me your progress." An unknown voice asks.
"The boy is still alive. His strength is almost equal as mine!" Hakai replied.
"You pathetic weakling!! I told you to get the boy no matter what cost!" The unknown person shouts.
Hakai could only grumble, trying to control his temper. "I was severally injured. I will not be able to fight at lease a couple of day."
"Fine. I will send someone else to take care of the boy." the unknown person said.
"Someone else?" Hakai questioned. Before Hakai could get any answers, the unknown person turns off the communicator. This has caused Hakai to become angrier.
--
Akira and the group are heading back towards the village. Hinata was walking slowly behind Akira. She blushed as she looked at him. However, Akira turned around, surprising her as she tries to hide her blushing face. He then turned towards Kiba and whispers something to him.
"Hey, is Hinata always like that?" Akira asks quietly.
"Yeah, she's always like that sometimes." Kiba answered.
"Oh..." Was all he could say. He looks back at Hinata, his cheeks starts to redden.
--
Few minutes later....
The group, sans Team 8 and Akira has left to their respective places. Akira finally made his reservation on the hotel and went to his room. As he opens the door, he was astounded by the scene of the room.
"Wow! Nice!" Akira said excitedly. The room looks comfortable and beautiful to live in; the wall was painted green, a single bad and an air-conditioner.
"G-glad you like it." Hinata suddenly stuttered, looking at Akira with a smile.
Akira just looks at her emotionlessly. His cheeks start to warm and redden.
"Why every time I looked at her, I always blushed and my heart beats faster than usual? Why?" Akira wondered, still staring at Hinata. Suddenly his eyes widen.
*Flashback*
"Strange things will happen to someone that has fall in love." An image of a little girl appears in his head, pointing his finger up.
"Strange things?" Akira asks.
"Like your cheeks redden and your heart beats faster than usual. Those are signs that you're in love!" The little girl answers.
"Whatever..." Akira rolled his eyes. The girl pouted.
*Flashback ends*
"It can't be....." Akira sighs. He looks up as he heard someone called him.
"Hey, Akira? Are you ok?" Kiba asks.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Akira lied. He then looks at Hinata, who was looking at him with a concern look.
Akira shakes his head a little as he starts to talk.
"Guys, do you have phone service in this village?" Akira asks.
"Well we do but the tower was struck by lightning yesterday so it's still being repaired." Kiba answered.
"There must be a connection somehow." Akira said, taking out a black colored cell phone.
"Woah! Is that a Nokia N82 handphone?!" Kiba asks excitedly, feeling amazed.
"Yeah. Why?" Akira said.
"It means you're richer than Hinata-chan.". Kiba said, pointing his thumb at Hinata. This has cause Hinata to blush.
"So?" Akira said.
"Umm...nevermind. Sorry about that." Kiba chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.
"Whatever." Was all Akira could say? He then gets up and walks out of the room, with Team 8 follow behind him.

(Outside, on top of a tree)
Kiba: Any reception?
Akira: No.
Suddenly a squirrel jumps on his face, causing him to fall.
Akira: Ouch...
--
(River)
Kiba: Anything?
Akira: No.
Akira was submerge in the river.
--
(Outhouse, near the village)
Akira sat on the toilet seat, clicking his phone. Water drips from his clothes as it is wet.
"Finally!" Akira said.
"Anything?" Kiba asks.
"Yeah.". he replied. "Now to make a call.". After clicking a few numbers, he waits as the phone rings.

Somewhere in Tokyo...
In a mansion, two people were playing with each other.
"Gotcha!!" said a person with a brown hair spiky hair.
"Aww man!!" said a girl, who looks a little younger than the boy.
They were playing a video game called "Tekken 5", with the boy winning. Suddenly, the phone rings. The boy and the girls starts to argue of who should pick the phone.
"You go!" the girl said.
"No, you." the boy said.
"Nah ah, you!!" the girl started to shout.
"Fine." The boy pause the game and puts down the controller, heading towards the phone.
He then picks up the phone, "Hello?".
"Hello, is that you Jack?". Akira asks.
"Yeah, it's me. How are ya?" Jack asks.
"Fine, just fine.". Akira replied.
--
Yeah, I know it's not December yet but I couldn't resist. It have been stuck in my head for a while so I want to let it out. Just a simple chapter of Hinata and Akira's relationship starts to blossom and the introduction of Jack.
