AN: I feel I should explain my self a little because, I have been receiving a few comments due to my confusing writing, of which I apologize for.

Now the first few chapters do focus on Hanabi, when I've listed Hinata as my main character. Though further into the story it will focus on Hinata as well as a few other characters.

Disclaimer: O and I don't own Naruto because if I did it wouldn't be as nearly sexist as it is.


" Sh-Shikamaru kun, actually I need your help with something." Hinata said recoiling in the menacing aura that encompassed her only moments before.

"Me" he gulped a little frightened, after witnessing first hand how ruthless she could be when it came to family. "Ok"

"I-I don't mean to bother you but, I want to go over some extra details of our next mission."

"You guys are on a mission together." Chouji asked surprised following them to the library. It wasn't often reconnaissance got paired up with tracking specialist, but then again it wouldn't be uncalled for if they had a particularly challenging infiltration mission.

"Yeah, it's going to be troublesome." Shikamaru complained going back over the mission brief in his mind. "We probably should prepare."

"I-I just want to analyze the terrain." Hinata explained searching the shelves and pulling out the necessary scroll and unfurling the map on the table. " T-To indentify any possible shelter we may be able use, before hand."

The three crowded around the table and peered down at the map, "Thi-this river could be useful." She ran her finger along the blue line.

"Yeah we could definitely use that." Shikamaru furrowed his brow already thinking of twenty different scenarios in which the river would come in to play.

"You could always use this place." Chouji recommended placing his chubby finger down on a spot just shy of the river. "It's a tea house, I had dangos form there once, I've had better though." He shrugged.

"It amazes me how, you manage to memories a map solely based on food." Shikamaru commented Patting Chouji on the back, making his friend blush slightly from the comment.


"So Kakai sensei how did you manage to break your leg, when you haven't been on a mission, and I don't see why any one would give you a black eye if you were just sparring." Sakura looked over he teacher's injuries and they seemed to be made rashly and harshly rather then the well thought out injuries you would get when you sparred focusing on your internal organs or something to hinder movement.

"Ahh, well I had a slight misunderstanding." He replied sheepishly

Sakura rolled her eyes and started healing the wounds. "Please tell me you didn't do anything stupid, I have my hands full with Naruto." She stopped and eyed him suspiciously "You didn't annoy Iruka sensei again did you?"

"Iruka would never react this violently." Kakashi's way of denying the accusation.

"The fact your getting Iruka sensei to react violently at all says a lot, plus Naruto might have something to say about it."

"Are you implying that Naruto would side with Iruka, over me?" Kakashi asked mock hurt.

"In a heart beat." Sakura answered "Your too old to behaving this way act your age your almost forty."

This time Kakashi was actually offended "I am only thirty six."

" The rumors that your in love with Naruto arn't helping your cause either." Sakura mentioned whilst she finished bandaging his leg.

Kakashi's eye twitched with annoyance, no matter how much he denied the rumors, no one seemed to believe him. Naruto for short period of time had even, refused to be left alone with him.

There was quiet knock at the door. " Come in" Sakura yelled. "Ah Hinata chan, you're here for your medical supplies right."

"S-sorry if I am interrupting you Sakura chan." Hinata apologized, noticing how Kakashi had tensed up the minute she entered the room.

"No not at all, I was almost finished anyway." Sakura waved off the apology. "In fact can you do me a favor and finish healing the little cuts, and I'll run up and get you what you need."

"No Sakura don't leave me" Kakashi grabbed on to Sakura's arm.

"You'll be fine Kakai sensei, stop being such a baby." She said as she pulled away.

"You don't understand" he said pleadingly giving Hinata a quick side ways glance. "All the Hyuga's are insane." He whispered out.

"Sensei behave yourself." Sakura reprimanded giving him a withering look. Assuming it was another one of his many jokes no one seemed to get. "Don't mind him Hinata chan, he's just getting senile in his old age."

Another jab at his age, that cut deep he wasn't that old dammit. "ha, ha, Hinata chan, your not going to hurt my book are you." He asked nervously.

"O-Of course not." She answered shocked that he would ever think such a thing. "But that would all have to depend on, what you said to my little sister." She said in a sickly sweet voice, losing her stutter. With a smile present on her face, it was pleasant yet held an ominous undertone.

"Sakura! Naruto!, hell Gai! Yes Gai I admit it you're my eternal rival!" He started shouting suddenly in desperation.

"Yes! I knew someday you would succumb to the power of youth!" Gai declared to everyone's surprise. He had just jumped through the open window, despite being situated on the fifth floor.

Hinata was the first to break the stunned silence that followed Gai's dramatic entry. " Gai sensei stalking you, only really fuels the assumption that your gay."

"Be at ease Kakashi, I will not get in the way of your forbidden love with Naruto kun." Gai reassured him.

"Thank god you're here, the Huyga's are insane." Kakashi conveniently ignored both their comments and subtly inclined his head towards Hinata.

Gai nodded seriously "I did have my suspicions, Neji does have a tendency for maniacal behavior more then most." He couldn't understand why he resisted his youthful team building exercise so much. Completely ignoring the irony of his own words.

"I have to make sure your in top form for tomorrow mission taichou." She said as she healed the small bruises and scratches along his arm. "Be sure to be at the gates by four a.m." They didn't need to leave till nine but he didn't need to know that, it might actually force him to arrive on time for once.


AN: 'Kakai' is Sakura's nick name for Kakashi, I think she used it once or twice in the anime.
