Hinata looked over to see her teammates finally coming. Shikamaru looked tired and he was yawning, Naruto had his same goofy grin as he walked up to Hinata. "Oy Hinata you look as though you didn't get much sleep last night" Naruto had said as he looked a bit concerned. "Uh... I had a bad dream that's all..." Hinata said as she looked away from him. "Ok then let's just get this mission over with." Shikamaru said as he stretched and looked at a map he pulled out from his knap sack. "Ok then...if we just follow this route, we should get there by tomorrow." Shikamaru said as he put his map away and started to walk. Hinata was constantly sighing and looking down; she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone really. Naruto was there blabbing about how he tried a new flavor at his favorite ramen shack to Shikamaru who wasn't paying attention to him.
Naruto looked over at Hinata, she looked a bit upset. Naruto looked back at Shikamaru and whispered stupidly to him "what's wrong with Hinata?" Shikamaru looked to Naruto, he looked annoyed. "Why don't you ask her if you're so concerned?" said Shikamaru. Naruto looked over to Hinata and walked over to her, she was too lost in thought to have noticed Naruto until he had tapped on her shoulder causing her to jump. "Oh sorry Hinata, I didn't mean to scare you" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head with a goofy smile plastered over his face. Hinata looked to him" is there something you wanted to ask me?" she asked as he stopped scratching his head. "Uh yeah what's with the long face?" Naruto asked frowning. Hinata just simply smiled lightly and walked ahead of him. Naruto just stood there puzzled, wondering what just happened. Hinata just sighed and looked up a bit to the sky and started thinking. "I really don't feel like talking to him of all people..." she thought looking back down. Naruto went back to Shikamaru and whispered to him "what's gotten into to her?" Shikamaru simply looked to him then to Hinata then back to him "Maybe it's because she doesn't feel like talking? Ever think of that bird brain?" Shikamaru asked walking faster as well."Now just wait a sec!" Naruto yelled to Shikamaru desperately trying to catch up to him.
The sun was starting to set as they made camp in a nearby opening. Hinata went to go get fire wood, Shikamaru was setting up the tents and Naruto was getting some food for them. Hinata slowly gathered a few sticks and let out a huge sigh as she got to another clearing. When she bent down to pick up a few more sticks she heard something snap. She looked down to see it was not her she quickly looked around, "Maybe it was a wild animal or something..." she said to herself as she began gathering sticks again. That's when it hit her; Hinata had a very strong feeling of someone watching her. She quickly activated her Byakugan and was met with two red eyes. Hinata had dropped the bundle of sticks out of fear. She was too scared to turn around; she heard footsteps moving closer and closer to her. The footsteps stopped right behind her and a hand laid on her shoulder she jumped and slowly turned her head to see Naruto. "Oh I'm sorry Hinata I must have scared you again" he said with a bit of a frown. She then noticed those red eyes weren't there anymore, she quickly looked around. "Uh Hinata did you lose something?" Naruto asked as he looked at her weirdly. "No...umm did you see...oh never mind..." Hinata said with a bit of a sigh as she went back to picking up the sticks she dropped. "Oh yeah the reason I came out here to get you was because dinner is done" he said with a bit of a smile. Hinata nodded and quickly picked up more wood and followed him back to the camp site. Shikamaru was there with some fish Naruto had caught and was just taking them off the fire when he saw Naruto and Hinata coming. They ate their dinner in silence when Naruto finally broke it with "man am I bored" Shikamaru simply looked at him and ignored him as he went back to eating his fish. Hinata looked at him and sighed a bit. Naruto looked towards her and said "hey Hinata you barely ate anything, you alright?" She looked at him a bit surprised and looked down to see she hadn't really ate much and wasn't that hungry. The evening passed to the dead of night Hinata had got up and went to put more firewood on the fire. She sat down and stared at the fire and was in a slight trance by it when something caught her eye. There standing not too far from her was a figure hiding a bit from behind a tree. It moved closer to her, she gasped to realize who it was and it was Itachi. His black eyes simply stared at her. His face was expressionless as he came closer to her. Hinata was too scared to move, as he stopped in front of her. He slowly bent down a bit towards her and was mere inches from her; he stretched his hand out and cupped her face. She sat there a petrified wondering 'why is he here and what does he want with me?' She thought as she gazed into his eyes which were red now, he had activated his sharigan and was in his one universe that seemed like days. Hinata stood up looking around and then looking back at Itachi questionably. Itachi simply looked at her and without noticing he was much closer to her. She could feel his breath on her as she looked up at him. 'Oh my god...is he going to kill me?' she thought as she stood there looking at his eyes. "wha..What are you..." Hinata had said before she was quickly pulled into a kiss. She at first resisted and was soon going along with it. He released her lips and looked at her brushing some hair from her face. "Soon you'll know..." Hinata's eyes went wide when she heard his voice as it was the same as the figure from the night before. Hinata then awoke from the sound of firewood crumbling in the fire pit and looked around."What the? Was it a dream?" she said as she looked around. She put her hand to her lips and blushed wondering could it be I finally found someone I can call my own?
