I'm so sorry guys… it's been years since I last updated. It's just I lost my interest on writing since I think I just suck at it… But I'm a person who just can't leave the things I started unfinished. I read the previous chapters and it has lot of errors… grammatically. I hope you guys would still read my story.

Hinata's POV

I'm so glad that at least there are some people who would gladly help me. I often think I'm really alone… hehe… foolish me for thinking that way. I may not really be as bad as my father used to tell. I'm way much… better. I should come up with a resolve soon. I have to face this problem… I won't run away.

Maybe that's the real problem about me…I usually hide behind every person whom I know I could trust. Just like when my mother was still around or when I joined team8, I usually depend on kurenai-sensei too much… yeah… too much.

"Hey Hinata-chan… are you alright?"

I was disturbed by my thoughts as Naruto waved his hands in front of my face. It kind a startled me a bit.

"Hey… cut it out."

I heard Sasuke said as we go on walking. Wait… where are we going again?

Hm… Oh… yeah… we're heading towards Hokage-sama's office.

"Yuhooo! HInata-chan? Are you sure you're alright?"

"Hai… I'm just fine Naruto-kun."

"Really? I mean, since we reached the village you've been awfully quiet."

"I-I… I was just lost in my thoughts."

"It'll be much harder to forget the things you want to forget if you think too much about it…"

I stopped walking for a while as I heard what Sasuke said… or rather whispered…

He's right…How can I forget this awful things if I keep thinking about it?

"Thanks… Thanks a lot guys."

"Oh… Come on! We're friends right!" Naruto said as he flushed his grin at me.

"We better hurry." Sasuke said walking faster than us.

I think… Everything will just work out fine… I DO have friends… right?

END OF POV

The three Shinobis now reached Tsunade's office. Unseeingly right, no one's guarding its entrance.

"That's weird… Genma-san or Shizune-san is not here…" The loud mouthed ninja said and rubbed his temple.

"I think we can just enter now." Sasuke added and walked ahead.

Naruto and Hinata followed him. The office seems normal; nothing has changed except the fact that no one's guarding it. It's actually quiet… it's supposed to be quiet. But ever since Tsunade became the Hokage, this place sure deals a lot of problem with the noise pollution.

When the three of the reached the office, Sasuke knocked at the door.

"Come in." Tsunade yelled.

"Oh… Good that you're here." She straightened herself at her chair.

Luckily, Neji's already there reporting everything to the hokage.

"Neji has just finished giving me the details about the strange happenings inside the Hyuuga manor."

"Please… tell us quickly." Hinata moved closer to the desk, fists closed.

"Neji." Tsunade said and nod at him, as if saying 'go on speak out.'

"Hai, Hokage-sama. Last night I saw two ninjas from Lightning country wondering around the Hyuuga manor. Hiashi-sama… he's really acting weird. Like, he often has headaches, a bad temper and he usually goes out alone. I still don't know what he's up to. But I should be careful, he already notices that I'm observing him. He's keeping an eye on me now so there's little that I can do."

"Hmm…" Tsunade sighed, "Still no progress huh…."

"It's no use thinking too much about things." Naruto said.

"What do you mean by 'No use thinking about things!'" Tsunade glared at the grinning boy.

"You see, Hinata's been in shock from all the things that's happening. And worrying won't help her. We need to make her feel better and relax for a bit until we find more information."

"Who would have thought you can actually think." Sasuke whispered.

Naruto can't help but glare at the boy. "I heard that you know!"

"How 'bout…. 3days at the beach…. seems like there aren't any missions coming for this week. Or… you can take this as a mission. You have to cheer Hinata and as well as protect her at any cost, while we figure out what's really happening inside the Hyuuga manor." Tsunade grab a piece of paper and wrote something.

"That's a great idea Tsunade-baba! Isn't it great Hinata-chan!"

"Can you lower your voice?" Neji suggested as his ear drums almost explode by the stunning loud mouthed boy.

"Anoue…. I think I alright, there's no need to do such things." Hinata shyly said looking at the floor like she found something interesting on it.

"No, I think it's a great idea. You're life's in much danger if you stay here." Neji went closer to the girl and looked at her eyes.

"You have to go for now, relax and I promise when you come back… everything will be alright."

"Neji-niisan…. I-I…." Hinata can't do anything else but just sighed in defeat and nod her head as a submission to the idea.

"We have a resort at the water country we can stay there." Sasuke suggested.

"Good, then I'll make all the paper works and give it to you tomorrow."

"Wait, Tsunade-sama… I-I don't have… any… money…" Hinata said embarrassed by the fact that she ran away and didn't even bring a single coin, well… everything's so unexpected, she ran away for her life not like she's disowned or she eloped with someone.

"No need to worry about it, I told you it's our resort. No need to pay."

"You know Sasuke; you can say that less cold… geez…" Naruto teased.

"Ok then, it's settled. Shizune! Give me all the paper works for the departure of these brats." She yelled and wink at Hinata.

That's for now…I kind a lost track for this story so sorry if it's a little confusing. Pls. review…
