Chapter 3: Pure gutts
The next morning I woke up early and asked Kiba's elder sister if I could use the shower before taking off. Anna was pretty chill with it and had left her room door open for me to get easier access to the restroom, also Anna didn't trust Kiba so it would be more private. I take a quick shower and got changed quickly I brush my teeth then pull my hair back and then look at myself in the mirror, I dint really feel like wearing my usual jacket so I decided to wear a light black sweater the only one I owned without the family crest on it. I fold my jacket and secure it in a bag and leave it in the guest bedroom closet, I say my goodbyes to Kiba's mother and sister before I take off towards the hokage's tower, avoiding some main streets in fear that some of the branch members would be hiding waiting for me.
I jog up the stairs to Tsunade's office and knock on the door, "WHO IS IT AT THIS HOUR!", I hear Tsunade roar, I mentally squeak as I push the door open. "Forgive me Lady Tsunade I was wondering if I could have a private mission", I mumble avoiding her gaze. She tosses me a scroll, "I knew you would come here, ever since I heard about you little stunt at your compound", she says brushing her blond bang back, "I have to say, I am happy that you did so, if you didn't do it I think I would of done it my self". She begins to laugh and I cant help but smile, "Your mission is to go to a village between Konoha and stone, there have been a lot of reports of the Akatsuki having been seen there lately", Tsunade sighs, "Its going to be dangerous since this is kind of a hot spot, especially since the sand village has treats towards it from the Akatsuki".
I wanted to ask what was being done about that but she answered my question before I could voice it, "I have requested for Kakashi's team to go out to the village and investigate, but they wont leave until later today". I nod wishing I could assist with the mission, "I know you would want to go but", she stops leaning back going into deep thought, "Actually, I want you to keep watch over the village under cover, follow them but once your in the village disband on your own and watch over the sand". I bow, "When will they be leaving?", she tosses me another scroll as I set the previous scroll on the table, "you will leave with Kakashi knowing your following them, since he is the most likely to attack if followed, as for Sakura and Naruto". Tsunade coughs, "They will be oblivious to your presence, stay in the shadows and listen to every little thing, this is a high mission for you and if you succeed, you'll be recommended for ANBU". I bow as I take my leave, I go by a near by café to get some breakfast and look over the mission scroll, I set down my coffee to take one last glance at the writing before a hand is on my shoulder. I turn quickly grabbing the hand pulling it forward making the person lounge forward and body slam the table, I pant as I look down to see Kakashi surprised, "Oh kami! I am so sorry Kakashi-sensei!", I quickly say helping him up. He chuckles brushing himself off, "I should be sorry, I'm just a bit surprised you did that, I feel comfortable with you watching our backs", I scratch the back of my head as Kakashi picks up bits and pieces of the now broken table.
"So im guessing your ok with me going with you guys?", I ask watching him pick up the wood, "Yes I am, and also I heard about what happened with your father, I have to say he had it coming to him, it was only a matter of time". We both walk into the café, apologize to the shop owner and pay half of the damage as Kakashi buys me another cup of coffee, we walk down the road silently, "Im sure Sasuke would be really happy to hear about this if he was here", Kakashi mumbles scratching his head, I nod taking a sip from my fresh cup of coffee. I could only imagine the smile on his face, the smile that was so out of place yet so beautiful, I missed the Uchiha more than I would like to admit, but mostly because he saw me as what I was.
...
"There you are KAKASHI!", I hear Naruto yell, "What took you so long? We might be late! I want to talk to Gaara!", Naruto once more yells as Sakura punches him. I watch the two bicker as Kakashi looks over his shoulder nodding slightly giving me the signal, I quickly do some hand sings to hide my Chakra from Naruto and Sakura. I watch them walk a few feet ahead before I begin to follow, I adjust the mask on my face so I can see better ahead of me, I hear Naruto and Sakura talking away, something's are about training and how they had beat Kakashi finally and then they got on the subject of Sasuke. I drown out that part of the conversation taking the time to scan the area ahead of them, I spot some moving ahead of them and watch the group freeze, I take that chance to go around them and destroy the potential danger. "What's wrong Kakashi?", Naruto says as I finish suffocating the last hostile, "Nothing I thought I heard something", he signals for the group to proceed as I let the body slump to the ground.
I lean back on the tree sighing as I let the group go ahead of me, after a few silent exhales, I get to hiding the body's. I get back on their trail as I notice they had set up for the night, I slump against the tree on a branch hanging high above the ground and take out my water bottle taking a few sips, im close enough were I can hear Naruto's loud voice and notice how dangerous he is. He can be heard from a pretty far distance I shrug my shoulders settling down to maybe take a nap when I feel something land in front of me, I open one eye. "How did I do? Kakashi-sensei?", I whisper as he hands me a bag of dehydrated bananas which I take happily, "you did very well, very fast and very clean", he whispers I nod chewing silently, "Kakashi?". He looks at me, "I have a very bad feeling, I feel as if I should go on ahead to get to the sand village early, its just a gut feeling", I whisper Kakashi contemplates this as we watch Naruto and Sakura prepare to go to bed. I had this sinking feeling as if a bomb had been set, my nerves were on ends and usually my gut was right about these kind of things, it was only right of me to voice it.
"Go on ahead then, if you get there please notify that we will be arriving shortly", Kakashi whispers, I was a bit surprised by his decision but nod. I stretch activating my byakugan to scan the area, the last thing I wanted to do is leave when a potential hostile was standing by waiting, I knew very well team 7 could protect themselves, but they were part of half my mission. "This place should be safe till morning, I hid the enemy body's pretty well, so please head out as soon as the sun rises", I whisper Kakashi nods disappearing back to were Naruto and Sakura were, I say a silent good night to Naruto as I jump off. I glide trough the night air sucking on a dehydrated banana chip, I still feel sick to my stomach and pick up my speed its not long before im dashing trough the desert. The winds were attempting to push me far back, but since I had managed to further advance my chakra control, I had most of it going to my feet so I can better grip the sliding sand.
...
I begin to slow down as I notice something odd, there was no one to greet me at the entrance, I walk a bit more forward when I notice the blood splatter. I immediately run over the wall in case there was going to be an ambush, I glance up at the sky when I see it. A huge white bird flying above the village I run down the wall and trough the streets grabbing and tapping all the guards or ninja that I ran into pointing up at the sky. Yelling and screaming comes next, "EVERYONE GET INSIDE YOUR HOMES AND STAY THERE!", I begin yelling and soon some of the village ninja began to yell the same orders. I make my way down to were the Kazekage would be when I look up and see sand flying in the air, Garra was already on the roof top fighting the enemy. I'm about to push the door open when the door busts open ad Kankuro tackles me to the ground, "MOVE! Yo—", he stops looking down on me.
I was pinned under him in a very odd position and I cant hide the blush that comes to my face as I forcefully shove Kankuro off. "Kankuro! What ar—", Temari comes to a halt at the scene in front of her, Kankuro was still between my legs and I was in a position were I was gripping his shoulders to push him off, but I would imagine it looked bad. "KANKURO! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!", Temari screams pulling out her fan and hitting him right off me, I stare in horror as Kankuro penetrates the wall. I quickly stand up, "Look, its not what it seemed like, I came here to talk to Gaara when I noticed he was already on the roof, when Kankuro crashed into me", I say in a panicked voice. She looks at me, "I know, I don't see you as being that kinda person anyway Hinata, just right now its all over the place", Temari says looking back at Kankuro, "Look we can smack Kankuro around later, we need to get to high ground and see if we can help Gaara".
She nods as she takes off, I quickly help Kankuro up and dust him, "Make sure the villagers are safe in their homes, I need to get to high ground". Kankuro coughs nodding, "Up the stairs, up to roof hurry", he coughs I nod kicking the door in and dashing up the stairs. Once I reach the top as soon as I open the door, sand seeps into the hall the wind and all the force was making the door hard to open. I manage to push it open and my eyes land on the blond ridding the clay bird, and for a slight moment his eyes land on me also. My mouth wants to say I know you but he mouths out the words, "It cant be her", I watch the blond dodge the sand that Gaara sent at him. I have to kick my self back into mission mode, shaking off any feeling that I might know him, I run across the roof getting to a spot were I can activate my Byakugan and watch his movement trying to figure out if there was a pattern to his movements.
Another explosion was blinding, I cringe at how bright it was when I notice small particles of sand falling on my shoulder, I glance up and notice a sand wall between me and the sky. I cant help but marvel at how strong Gaara has gotten, I take the chance to run across the roof tops knowing that the enemy cant see me I manage to reach one of the walls surrounding the village. That's when Gaara released his jutsu I run along the wall until I get danger close to a unfamiliar chakra, I hang back hopping it hadn't noticed me. Another explosion and this time all sand that was in the air seams to fall, I bite my lip weighing what might of happened when I hear flapping get near. I watch the blond man get near the wall I was at and crawl back out of sight, I couldn't help but notice that he was carrying Gaara, I bite my lip as I hear some very light talking most that I cant really understand. That's when I feel a strong force on my back pulling me down, I brace for impact but instead I fall into arms, I slowly open my eyes and am face with none other than the blond.
"I thought you looked familiar", he mumbles setting me down, I stumble back about to grab a kunai when I feel the pouch get tugged off me, "Now now, lets not make bad choices". I turn towards the deep gruff voice, from the shadows emerges what looks like a puppet, I step back again, "Hinata was it?", I turn back to the blond who smiles. "Well I would say lying to a possible love interest is very bad, but that would be wrong on my part too wouldn't it?", I blush and shake my head, "L-love I-interest!?", he chuckles, "Awe you going to deny it? Now I feel horrible". I bite my lip again thinking of what to do, "You should stop damaging your lips like that, they already look very kissable, I understand now why Deidara has such an interest in you". They nod at one another, "Isnt she a true piece of art, un?", Deidara says to his team mate as the puppet nods, "Her skin is so smooth and flawless, true perfection". I quickly cover my mouth as both men laugh, I hear shuffling and both men lunge forward, I don't have enough time to react as Deidara grabs me and carries me up on the bird.
I struggle against his grasp as the bird takes flight I close my eyes expecting it to feel weird but am a bit surprised when it feels like sailing on a ship. I hear Deidara chuckle as he loosens his grip around my body, I open my eyes to see we aren't that far off the ground, I had to do something these guys were definitely from the Akatsuki. Im about to reach in my pocket when I feel string pull on my arm making me cringe, there is a sharp pain before im torn away from the blond, "Sasori? What are you doing, hmm?!", Deidara yells turning to his partner. I hit the sad pretty hard, "I don't trust her, we do need her to lure in the nine tails, but something tells me, we already have enough to bring him out", my eyes land on Gaara. "Still you can be a little more gentle with her", Deidara moves to get me but I feel a sharp pain in my leg, "Just because she has a pretty face, dosnt mean you should get attached". I stifle my yell as I grip the sand, for some odd reason I wasn't able to move, my body was pined to the sand unable to protect myself.
I glance up to see both men staring each other down, I watch Deidara jump down off his clay beast and walk over to me, taking a grip of my shirt and pulling me up. I cringe as the blade was still in my leg, I stare at him, I close my eyes as his hand slithers to my neck, I suspect him to choke me but instead he pulls something off. I open my eyes to see him holding my neckles, "Keep it", I whisper he wants to say something but I stop him, "If we ever meet again, ill recognize you, so keep it", his face turns into a smile as he leans in capturing my lips. The kiss was passionate, my insides turned into a circus act, my first kiss taken by my enemy, it was hard to believe that it held so much feeling I wanted it to last forever. How can someone like him, be in a group who is known for nothing but murder and pain, someone who has true potential to be just any other great ninja. He pulls away licking his lips as he lays me back on the ground, pulling out the blade, "Forgive me for what im about to do, but you cant see were we head off to, hmm", I close my eyes waiting to be knocked out.
"Lady Hinata!", I run from the voice as I push people out of my way making my way to the center of the square. They were about to set off the fireworks and I just had to have front row seats to the show, "HINATA!", I keep running. I stop once in front as I see the men setting up the rockets, I cant help but smile, it was almost time when I felt someone grip my shoulder and pull me back. "Lady Hinata! Don't you ever do that again!", I watch the branch member as he yells at me at how irresponsible I was acting. I begin to tear up as someone pats my shoulder, "Relax, she's just exited to watch the show, please don't be mad at her", I turn to face the young boy, his jet black eyes on my face. "YOU!", once again im pulled back, "Don't you dare lay your hands on my lady", I watch in horror as he picks up the small boy, I was so afraid then the boy falls to the ground. I look up to see the branch member being held up by his neck, everyone around us had backed up and watching us, "DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH MY SON HYUGA!". Then the man looks down at me, I cower as I begin to cry, "Don't cry please", I turn to the boy who is softly rubbing my back, "Sasuke?", I look up at the scary man who is now examining his son. "Please dad, she just wanted to watch the fireworks up front, can we not ruin this for her?", Sasuke says, giving his father puppy eyes, I hear his father sigh as he sets down the branch member. "Your lucky my son talked me down, now I want you to shut up and watch the show with your heiress is that understood, and do not think of touching my son".
After a while everyone relaxed and the show began, I watched the rockets get ignited and take off before exploding in the sky. "Wow", I gasped keeping my eyes on the sky, the blur of color was so amazing, "Super cool huh", I turn to Sasuke who is staring at the sky, "Yes very cool". We go back to watching the show silently the grand finally was the best, "That was absolutely amazing", I say clapping, "You should see the fireballs that my father and brother can make, there almost as bright as those", I turn to Sasuke who is glowing. "One day ill be stronger than father and brother, and you can come watch me make the biggest fireballs!", I smile and nod, "Lets go Lady Hinata", I hear the branch member say as he grips my shoulder leading me away, "bye!", I say waving as Sasuke waves back a small smile on his face….
