Do not own Naruto guys, Kishi does, and I have noticed that he's good at trolling *eye twitch* If anyone has any idea's at what I can write about, just let me know. Im trying to find a plot for this thing, cause its probably the best story i've ever written. I know its retarded that I haven't found a good plot for it yet. Thx anyway tho! I love you all :) And I think I have some idea's for how i'll keep it going, but for now I need a few idea's. BTW this chapter is kind of depressing and has a lot of crying, but next chapter will make up for this boring one! (Story is based off the song 'When I Look At You' By Miley Cyrus, thats her song as well)
"Kakashi, come over here. Obito's done." Hinata ordered the jounin who was slowly drifting off. He slowly stood and walked over to her quite like the undead, you would think.
"I'm going to take a shower. Kakashi, you got any clothes until I can buy some?" Obito spoke rubbing the back of his neck. Hinata giggled after Kakashi rolled his eyes in her lap.
"Yes, but your not wearing any of my pants, got it?" the navy-blue haired girl blushed at his words making the copycat nin want to chuckle at her embarassment. "Just grab a towel and take yours off and put them in the dryer so they'll be dry when you get out." he let out a small laugh at the heat radiating off of the girl's face above him, her face was completely flushed by now.
"Alright, but its not my fault is she passes out on top of you," The Uchiha chuckled and walked to the wash room. He grabbed a towel and pulled his clothes off shoving them in the dryer and turning it on, wrapping the towel around his toned waist.
Hinata looked at Kakashi scowling after the Uchiha left the room. "Kakashi Hatake, what was that for?!" She growled very uncharacteristicaly, but Kakashi was used to it, he and the Hyuga we very close nowadays, and they both knew that the male was good at pressing any of the Hyuga's buttons, mainly Hinata's though.
She rolled her eyes at his answer. "It was for your own good Hinata," She shook her head and activated her byakugan and stared deeply into his eye sockets, feeling victorious after finally finding the cut nerve endings she emitted her Hyuga chakra into his eyes.
"You might be able to deactivate the sharingan when I'm done and blink as well," She watched for ten minutes waiting for her chakra to find the nerves she was starring at, she smiled when the nerves finally mended together succesfully. "Done. That was a lot faster than Obito-kun's. I wonder why his was so tough to fix..?" She thought aloud, not paying attention to Kakashi who rose from where he was laying on the ground and dusted the back of his pants off.
"Thanks Hinata-chan, I'll see if it works," He spoke pulling his mask down, exposing only his eye and the right side of his face. He made a hand-sign and the comma-like markings in his eye disappeared into a pool of black, he had Obito's normal eye color, and was glad, he didn't like having only one eye to see normally. He was pulled out of his thoughts once again by the kunoichi.
"Now activate it," She demanded in a stern tone, which he raised a brow to but didn't question her authority. He nodded and complied. The color changed to red and the comma-marks spun slowly. She mentally patted herself on the back and grinned, she had done it, the only bad part was that she had used up most of her chakra, her body was aching now and her face was flushed a bit from exhaustion and sweat dripped from her temple. She leaned back and closed her eyes wiping her forehead with her wrist and sighed deeply. "Thank Kami that's over, I would've passed out on you at the rate I was going." He looked at her tired features and shook his head. She drained herself almost completely. He deactivated his bloodline limit and went back to the recliner and laid back again, sighing to himself.
"Thanks Hinata, don't know what I'd do without you," He watched a light-pink evade her cheeks making her face worse than it was already. A grin spread across his lips, but it soon ended when his thoughts went back to the Uchiha that should've been done by now, but his worries were soon ended by his friends loud voice entering the room with only a towel covering up his exposed skin, oh no, that was not good for the Hyuga's sake whatsoever.
She looked upward. Regretting it immediately. The blush spread over her face like fire. Though she was still staring right at his body. He wasn't scarred like expected, he must've been healed very well, She thought with a bright pink contrasting very well on her pale face. The ANBU captain came out of her current state when cackling was heard behind her, she ducked her head when Obito joined in. Seeing the pillow in front of her, she grabbed it and shoved it over her face.
"K-Kakashi-san!" She sqeaked muffled by the fluffed black pillow over her entire face.
"Sorry Hinata," He laughed gripped his ribcage when all of it began to hurt. "You were just too adorable, your face, you looked like you were going to have a nosebleed," He spoke after stopping the laughter that began bubbling up his throat.
"Haha, no kidding!" His friend joined in retreating down the opposite hallway, to the bathroom before the towel around his waist slid down his legs, no one wanted Hinata's Hyuga eyes to lose their innocence. "Interesting, now that I think about it… She is like Rin."
The next day they were all getting ready to go to the Inuzuka's compound to see Akamaru, who was said to have been in bad condition. Her throat was in a dry heap all that morning, thinking of the excuses she'd have to give to Kiba's older sister for why she'd been avoiding the dog handlers for weeks at a time. Why she had been lying to her every time they bumped into each other at the cementary. She gulped and grabbed her supplies bag and exited the door with the older men following closely behind, her hands fidgeted with the sleeves of her new coat Karin had given her a bit after her lavender jacket was destroyed the day her teammates were killed.
"Kakashi, what about taking Obito to the Hokage tower?" She found another excuse to not have to walk through the gates of the best dog trainers in Konoha.
"Hinata, that can be done later, this can't. Hana wanted to see you before going on her revenge mission to get those guys that killed your teammates." Kakashi spoke eliminating her sixth pitiful excuse. Obito's eyes held every bit of sorrow for the Hyuga, she lost both teammates at the same time and there was nothing she could do to stop it. Kakashi also told him the night before that when the silver-haired jounin got to the fight, the Hyuga heir had both Shino and Kiba with their heads resting in her lap side by side, she had sang them to sleep after the enemy retreated and they both died peacefully in her arms. The Uchiha had wanted to ball up and cry after hearing the story. He was still the emotional kid everyone knew before those hidden stone ninja attacked their team. He hadn't changed as much as people would think, being the new recruit for the Akatsuki and all.
"Oi, Kakashi-sensei!" They all turned toward the shouting, being none other than Naruto and Sakura. They all stopped walking and waited for the Uzumaki and Haruno to approach them. When Sakura was standing a few feet ahead of them with Naruto, the Hyuga had slowly worked her way behind the silver-haired man, in hopes that they'd leave her be. Obito took notice of her actions and told himself in his head that he didn't like the fear in her eyes one bit.
"What do you guys need?" Kakashi spoke lowly, letting his close friend ease her way behind him. "Look, what ever it is spit it out." He raised an eyebrow at Naruto who rubbed his neck nervously.
"Naruto asked me to marry him!" Sakura sqealed and raised her hand to show them the giant diamond ring on her finger. Hinata looked at it with wide eyes, she still had deep feelings for the moron and couldn't seem to give them up, and now her rival was standing two feet ahead waving around the ring that was supposed to go on her own hand.
"Hey, what's wrong Hinata?" Sakura asked in a mocking tone cocking her head grinning ear-to-ear. Hinata scowled and grabbed Kakashi's hand and held it tightly, stepping further behind him. Obito wasn't oblivious either. Sakura looked at the Uchiha in slight disgust, making him want to speak his mind.
He growled to the blonde who decided to change the topic before this guy snapped. "Hey Kakashi, who's he? I've never seen him before." He asked looking at the guy with mismatched eyes, with a look of confusion and disgust. Hinata saw the look and remembered Shizune's words, as well as what her gut wanted to do and stepped from behind the confused Jounin and in front of the Uchiha traitor. Kakashi was about to say something but remembered her mission was to work with his friend so he changed his mind and stood back, watching the scene unfold with interest.
"Naruto this is Obito Uchiha, you better treat him with respect or you'll have to deal with me and the Hokage." She leaned in a growled, making the nine-tails vessel pale. "He's an adult, one a lot older than you, so treat him like one. He's your sensei's best friend so I expect nothing more, nothing less. Got it?" She glared at him with angry eyes. Kakashi chuckled and shook his head. He had heard the Hyuga angry many times before, but never like this. It was also kind of ironic since the Uchiha was the one who caused Minato's death, him getting the demon sealed inside him, and growing up alone, and he was having to respect that man who did all of that. But Naruto didn't need to find that out any time soon.
"She's right, he's my old teammate, so you better treat him like Hina-chan says," he eyed Naruto who was getting over his current shock.
"Congratulations, now I have unfinished business to attend to. Go celebrate elsewhere," Hinata spoke without a stutter and grabbed the Jounin's hands and walked toward the Inuzuka's compound, which sadly reminded her of her own compound, he dad would be furious since she didn't show up for the clan meeting or dinner last night, but she was off doing something worth her time. She narrowed her eyes at a familar barking, Kuromaru. Her smile lifted at Tsume's dog, who ran over to her and the other two men. Obito's eyes went wide at the intimidating dog he remembered as a child, Tsume used to walk around the village with that same dog at her side, he was much larger now and could scare a toddler out of their wits with the way his right ear was missing and the eye-patch over his left eye, and not to mention his piercing green visible eye.
The dog halted in front of the Hyuga and turned his head toward one of the buildings ahead of them and let out a loud howl, calling his master. Tsume and her daughter came into view, Hana looked at her and her face dropped, looking like she wanted to go crawl into bed and cry for a day. Tsume looked at her and frowned walking toward the trio dragging her daughter behind her, with one of her three nin-kin following closely behind. Once the pair stopped in front of Hinata, she herself had a wave of memories crash down on her, splashing her in the tears she had shed for both teammates. Tsume shook her head and let a few silent tears fall from her eyes, she had done that a lot lately. Her dog nudged her leg and brought her out of her thoughts, looking down, the Hyuga was on her knee's, letting go of the fear of anyone seeing her break down like this. Hana knelt down and hugged the younger girl quietly sobbing with her head in the dark-glossy hair. "It's my fault Tsume, Hana. I couldn't save them. They died and I...I let them." she leaned closer to the brunette and let her comfort soak in.
"No Hinata, it was never your fault. It was bound to happen, all shinobi lives are usually cut short. Don't blame yourself." Tsume bent down and rested her arms over the two girl's backs. She looked at Kakashi and mouthed a 'thank you' before he exited the gates along with a familiar Uchiha she knew as a child. She grinned and stood up after they left, and pulled Hinata to her feet followed by her remaining child. "Kiba, nor Shino would've wanted to see you both like this. Now lets go see Akamaru."
"Hai," Hinata followed behind the brunettes with the demented dog at her side.
"Hinata, try to convince him to start eating. He won't listen to me, or mom. And I.V's are not giving him the nutrition he needs to stay on his feet." Hinata nodded at Hana's request and walked through Kiba's door, she closed it behind her and gazed around the room, it still smelled like him, it still had his dirty clothes thrown all over the floor and his bed was still not made. She shook her head with a small smile until she heard the most pitiful whimper on the floor in front of the recently unused bed. Akamaru was laid out on his dog bed, skin and bone, matted white fur and closed eyes. He was in his own mourning state for his owner. Hinata knew what he was going through, Kiba was his master, and when an Inuzuka master dies, the animal usually follows closely on their heels and Hinata was not just going to stand back and watch the dog she grew up with just give up on everything. She then vowed not to let Kiba's dying wish go to waste, along with all of the pairs hard training and work. She'd do as Kiba wished and keep his companion alive, become his new master, train with him and her ANBU team, and now Obito.
"Akamaru," She paused and walked over to the dog bed and cuddled next to his boney frame, careful not to break anything in his already weakening body. "Kiba's last wishes were to keep you alive. So I cannot and will not let you sit here and die on me like Shino and Kiba had. I love you buddy, and we're the only remains of what used to be team-8. Kurenai has quit her job to promote all of her time to her child now that Asuma was killed, so it just leaves us. You cant. You cant die on me." The tears came back again and she sobbed in Akamaru's neck. He whined and nudged her with his snout. After her tears were dried she sniffled and looked into his now open eyes. "Will you eat for me?" She asked with a pleading tone in her voice. He whined again and laid his head on the side of the fluffy dog bed. "I'll be right back. Please, please, please don't give up just yet. Me and you could become partners and fight for Kiba, and do as he whished. Just try to for me… And for Kiba." She spoke rubbing behind his ear. "Like I said, I'll be right back." She wiped her eyes and stood up, she couldn't help but to walk over to her passed partner's bed and grab his shirt and bring it up to her nose and inhale deeply. She sighed and folded it like she had done with the same exact shirt a billion times before and took it with her. "I never knew how much I would miss the both of them until something had happened." She pulled the door open and quietly shut it. She broke down right there and slid down the door with her back against it, she couldn't bare the thought of losing the remains of her beloved team. She swallowed the lump in her throat and pulled the shirt up to her nose and inhaled again, she never realized how much she would treasure both their presences, but she should have.
"Shinobi lives are far too short." She looked up at the dog, who had just spoken. It wasn't abnormal for Kuromaru to be able to speak to outsiders, as the Inuzuka's had always spoken about anyone outside their clan. "Don't worry about Akamaru, if thats what he wants, then let him be."
"No, I'm not setting Kiba's wishes aside. Akamaru will survive. He couldn't betray his master. I know that dog like the back of my hand." She slowly stood and walked around the dark-blue dog. "This is Akamaru we're talking about. Not just any dog."
She ignored the dog who had muttered something about 'stubborn women' and 'are all woman this thick-headed?' Hana and her mother were both in the kitchen leaning on the counters, both looking depressed as ever, they looked up when noticing her presence hopefully. "Any luck?" Hana asked eagerly.
"I asked him to eat for me, and I want to see if he'll do it." Tsume nodded, turning and grabbing some of the specialized dog food they gave to the nin-kin when things like this happened and handed it to Hinata, who looked at her with determination eating up her gaze. The brunette grinned, liking the new look on the Hyuga.
"Get the dog to eat for us, I cannot bare the thought of having to bury another one of my family members," Hinata nodded, still keeping up her look and headed back to the depressing room. Once she was inside, she opened the bag and sprinkled dog food in the tin-bowl Tsume had left in the bag for her. The dog looked at it hesitantly, his stomach twisted horribly as he invoulntarily drooled. Hinata's lips broke out into the first genuine smile she'd giving in weeks as the dog took small bites in at a time. She began crying in joy, tears were coming as fast as the day the dog's owner had died. Small bites turned into rather large ones and she refilled the bowl for the third time. She jumped off her feet after he took the last bite of the third one and swung open the door and ran down the hallway, tears of joy still coming.
