Chapter 8: A Change Of Heart

With her mission completed and ready to head back to the Leaf, Nia sighed in relief yet made sure to keep her travel coat hood on.

"Oh god, he's for sure never going without a condom again," She walked down a dirt pathway with trees to each side. "That was way too close; I thought for sure I was preggo. I can't believe the test read negative. That was a miracle..."

By this time, it was pouring outside and Nia needed to get to the village before nightfall. She had been traveling since early morning and was close to arriving where she needed to be.

"Atchoo!" She sneezed before sniffling.

Damn this rain... it's making my nose all sensitive and I'm getting even more sick than I was before.

Not too far behind her, Kiba along with Akamaru, was in the process of looking for Sasuke, whom his team and Naruto's had seen some hours beforehand. However, they had reach a stumbling point and it would be determined by Kakashi that everyone would go on a full-out search despite the slim chance their old friend was possible still in the area.

"Akamaru, you seeing what I'm seeing, boy? That looks like that could be Nia ahead of us?" The Inuzuka pointed as Akamaru barked. "Man, what the heck is she doing out here by herself? I'm gonna say something... HEY! YO, NIA!"

"Hm?" This startled the girl as she looked over her shoulder. "What the? Kiba? Is that really you?"

"Of course it's me, silly," Akamaru jumped and landed beside the kunoichi as Kiba looked down at her. "What other guy you know rides atop their dog? The real question is: What the heck are you doing outside the village? You know how Naruto is with you... he'll kill you for being out here all alone."

"Well he gonna have to direct that anger at the hokage cause she the one who sent me on a mission alone. I'm just obeying orders..."

"I see..."

"Yeah, but never mind all that. What're you guys doing? Had any luck finding that Sasuke guy?"

Kiba replied, "For a while, my nose had been picking up his scent some time ago and one of Naruto's clones even saw him heading the opposite direction as him. Soon after that it was almost as though... the guy had vanished into thin air. It's been about an hour since Kakashi-sensei ordered for us to scout the area. As you can see though, Akamaru and I aren't having much luck finding him."

"Wow..." Nia lowered her eyes and grabbed her arm. "Naruto must be distraught right now... He was so amped up on getting the chance to possibly reason Sasuke to come back with him."

"Poor guy looked like he was about ready to break into tears. Can't forget about Sakura either. Unlike Naruto, she hasn't seen Sasuke since before that time we all thought he was dead. I'm sure she still has feelings for him too... that much is obvious..."

Suddenly, the two became startled when the rest of the group landed around them as they all decided to regroup.

"Kiba, the search is over... There's no sign of him being anywhere," Kakashi alerted the teen as he then was caught off guard with Nia's presence.

"Nia..." Yamato spoke first. "What're you doing over here? You're supposed to be in the village, aren't you?"

"Yeah, well, you see... what had happened was-"

"Nia! What the hell are you doing out here?!" Naruto pushed his way through everyone and lightly grasped the girl's shoulders. "I told you to stay in the village! Why didn't you listen?!"

"Naruto, the hokage sent me out on a mission by myself. I just finished it this morning and was getting back to Konoha when Kiba spotted me."

"GRANNY SENT YOU BY YOURSELF?!"
