This Can't Be Happening
A/N: Yo people! Triforcelord is back, finally, with the next chapter of this story! I'm sorry for the long wait, but stuff happened, and I had writers block, so it took me awhile to actually get around to writing this. I still do have writers block, but I decided to try and write the chapter anyways, because I decided that if I wait anymore, you will all come to my house and completely annihilate me with all of your S-ranked jutsus. So, without further ado, here's the chapter!
This Can't Be Happening Chapter 6: Beginning The Mission
Kiba and Shino had been waiting for about twenty minutes when they, along with everybody else in the vicinity, were greeted by a very strange sight.
At first, they though it was a dust storm, then remembered that this wasn't Suna, so that was impossible, right?
Well, it turned out that it was our hero-turned-heroine was streaking towards them so fast that he somehow managed to kick up…nonexistent sand. How the hell that works, nobody will ever know.
When Naruto reached Shino and Kiba, panting and sweaty, they were looking at Naruto as though he had lost his mind.
"Um, Hinata?" Kiba asked, "Are you feeling okay?"
Shino decided to speak up. "Of course she's not." He said, his face expressionless, "It is her…special time." He gave an involuntary shudder.
"Well, if she's not hurt, that's fine." Kiba said, although he wasn't looking forward to this, "Now, how in the hell did you manage to kick up sand that wasn't even there?"
Naruto, who had recovered slightly, looked lost, so Shino said mysteriously, "There are things in this world that we cannot ever hope to comprehend."
Kiba looked at Shino strangely, "Ooookaaayyy, since when did you become a sage? And anyway, it was probably dust or something like that, because-" Here Kiba stopped, because Shino had turned to face him, his face still expressionless.
"You must be mistaken," Said Shino, looking directly at Kiba, "I said that this was a mystery of the world that mortal minds cannot comprehend, did I not? Or, perhaps, is it that you think so lowly of me that you do not trust what I say?"
Kiba sweatdropped as a dark aura started to form around Shino. "N-No, that's not what I meant. Right Hinata?" Here Kiba gave Naruto a look that clearly said, 'Help Me!'
Not wanting to see what would happen if Shino got overly depressed, Naruto nodded, thought about what he should say, and said, "It's alright, Shino…kun, we don't think that lowly of you!"
Kiba slapped his forehead and sent a look at Naruto that said, 'Great, now you've done it.'
Shino immediately turned to face Naruto and got very close, his face emotionless. When he talked, his voice was a complete monotone. "So," He said, "That is how it is. You both think lowly of me, even though you tried to soften it up by saying that you don't think "that lowly" of me! How could my very own teammates do this to me?!" Here, Shino whined a little bit and the dark aura around him intensified.
"I truly thought that you, Hinata, of all people, would have thought highly of me." Shino continued, "But it seems that I was mistaken." The dark aura was now so dense that they could hardly see Shino inside of it.
Kiba got a scared look on his face. "Hinata, run!" He shouted, as bugs covered in dark aura started pouring out of Shino, who was still lamenting the betrayal of his teammates.
Naruto took one look at the bugs, and decided that if he wanted to still live and not become emo, he should run. And run now.
However, in the time that Naruto figured out that he should follow Kiba, one of the bugs touched him, and he instantly got the urge to get a knife and start cutting his wrist.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE BUGS?!" Naruto yelled, speeding after Kiba.
"YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE, TRAITORS!" Shino yelled, laughing madly with a dark aura still around him, "MY DEPRESSION BUGS AND I WILL FIND YOU SOMETIME! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Naruto caught up with Kiba, and while running for his life, decided to ask him what the hell was going on.
"Kiba!" Naruto puffed, speeding along, "What the hell is wrong with Shino?!"
Kiba didn't even look at him. He just kept staring straight ahead with a scared look on his face, running as fast as he could. "That is what happens when Shino gets depressed!" He yelled, "I thought you would've remembered the last time this happened! Whenever Shino gets depressed, he goes temporarily insane and whenever one of his bugs touches you, you get the urge to do something emo! That is Shino's darkest power!"
Just then, they heard the dreaded buzzing and Shino's insane voice. "COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!" Followed by an insane laugh.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Kiba yelled, putting on a new burst of speed.
Naruto struggled to keep up with Kiba, seeing as he was in Hinata's much weaker body, but knew that in order to keep his sanity, he had to keep running.
Eventually, the insane laughs got fewer and fewer, until finally, they stopped. Kiba signaled that it was okay to stop now, and then a slightly meek looking Shino walked out of the forest.
"I am sorry." Shino said, "I was insulted, and so I lost my mind. I hope that I caused you no harm." He bowed deeply.
"Nah, don't worry Shino…kun, you only got me once!" Naruto said happily. He was happy, that is, until Kiba and Shino looked at him in alarm.
"That must be treated immediately!" Shino said, "It could make you permanently depressed if not treated properly!" He rummaged in his bag for something. Eventually he pulled out a tube.
"This is the cream that will treat the bite." Shino said, holding up the tube, "Now did you get bitten?"
Naruto blushed slightly and looked down, mumbling something.
"What was that?" Kiba asked, confused as to why "Hinata" was blushing so badly when lately, she hadn't even been stuttering. 'Speaking of that, I'm going to have to talk to her about that.'
"I-I said, it's on my…butt." Naruto said. Now, if it was his own body that he was in, then he wouldn't be blushing so badly. But he was in Hinata's body, so this put a new spin on things. Sure he looked at his new body, but whenever he had to wash up, he used the frilly thing that was in Hinata's bathroom. And he was pretty sure that no matter how close Hinata was to her teammates, she wouldn't want them touching her body…there.
Kiba and Shino were silent for a moment, then Shino, with a slight blush on his face, passed Hinata the tube of cream. "Go find a private place and apply this in…the area affected. We shall set up camp while we wait for you to return." He walked away. Kiba still had a strange grin on his face, which he had had ever since Naruto had said the word "butt".
"I'll put it on for you if you want, Hinata!" Kiba said. Shino promptly hit a pressure point and Kiba dropped to the ground, temporarily paralyzed.
"I am sorry, Hinata." Shino said calmly, "I would advise you to get out of here and put it on before he recovers."
Naruto walked through the forest and eventually found a clearing with soft grass and a small lake, and rocks here and there. Mentally preparing himself, he went behind a rock and got undressed.
"Please don't let Hinata get mad if she ever finds out about this." Naruto prayed to Kami, and started rubbing the cream on Hinata's body's…backside.
Once he was done, he quickly got dressed and went back to where his teammates were. While he was walking back, he was thinking to himself, 'Dear Kami, I just touched a girl's butt!'
Once he got back to the other clearing where his teammates were waiting, he found that camp was erected, and Kiba had a huge bump on his head.
"Sorry, Hinata." Kiba said, rubbing the back of his head, "I kinda got perverted back there."
Naruto was surprised that Kiba was apologizing to him, then remembered that Kiba thought that he was talking to Hinata.
Naruto smiled, then said, "It's alright Kiba-kun, just don't do it again." 'Or else I might pound your face in.' Naruto thought to himself.
"If you two are quite done," Shino said from the campfire, "I have dinner ready."
After a quick dinner of dried meat and assorted herbs, team eight decided to turn in for the night. Naruto, having been on a mission with them before, was used to them going to bed early, and didn't complain.
After going back to the clearing from before, Naruto changed into Hinata's purple pajamas. He walked back, and then he saw a problem.
"Umm, there's only one tent." Naruto said to Shino and Kiba.
Shino and Kiba looked at each other and Kiba said, "Uh, Hinata, we always have just one tent. But, I mean, if you're bothered by it, we can go sleep somewhere else, if you want."
Naruto was surprised by how nice Kiba could be, so he actually smiled for real and said, "No, it's fine. I'm just…tired."
Kiba snorted and glared at Shino. "Gee, I wonder why?" he said sarcastically. Shino looked down.
"Perhaps we should go to bed now." Shino said, obviously trying to get out of the awkward situation.
"Yeah." Kiba said, looking at the rapidly sinking sun, "It's almost dark. Let's call it a night."
So they all crawled into the tent for the night, and Naruto's last thought before he fell asleep was, "God damn, this is only the first day?!"
A/N: You know, I think that that turned out pretty well. After I got going, it really started to come to me. I hope you guys think the same. And by the way, all of my references to emo stuff weren't supposed to be insulting, so sorry if I did insult anybody. Triforcelord, out!
