Cursed

Hinata Found

Time has passed. Let's see how Hinata is faring through all this shall we. Once upon a time..... Yeah right. It's not one of those stories. Please Enjoy! :)

Hinata didn't know how much time passed as she continued to swing her legs over the table. Sighing, she got back up and returned to what she has been trying to do since yesterday. Yesterday, she had been trying to call Kurenai sensei's home phone but every time she managed to stumble onto an unwanted number and messing up the entire phone number entirely. Hinata was tired and hungry. She couldn't jump off the table because it would be like jumping off a cliff.

'Please. Please work.'

Taking a deep breath, Hinata began to jump on the necessary numbers. She huffed from the effort but only needed one more number. Determination set, she jumped, slipped but hit the necessary number. The phone began to let out a loud ring. Hinata smiled in glee and struggled to get up so she could stand over the talking end not the hearing one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kurenai was sitting on her chair sighing in sadness. It had been an entire day at least and nobody has found Hinata yet. For some reason, everybody decided to gather in her living room. The phone ringing brought her out of her sad state for a moment. Sighing, she picked it up. There was heavy breathing on the other end.

"Hello?" Kurenai asked in concern.

"Sensei!" the voice of her missing student was heard on the other end although it was a little faint.

"Hinata!" Kurenai yelled as she shot up to her feet.

Footsteps were heard behind her. She knew it was the others but right now focused her attention more on her missing student.

"Hinata. Where are you? Are you okay?" Kurenai asked urgently wanting to get as much information as she could.

"I'm at home!"

"Home? But we checked there already."

"You need to check more closely!"

"Hinata, are you okay?"

"I...I don't think so. I feel so...tire..." the connection was cut off.

"What happened?! Is she okay?" Naruto shouted drowning everybody else's questions.

Kurenai didn't answer. Instead, she ran out of her home and towards Hinata's apartment. The others had no choice but to follow. Naruto, Neji, Shino, and Kiba were ahead of everybody. Kurenai quickly unlocked the door and stepped into her student's home. She made sure to block the entrance.

"What happened?" Neji demanded with his arms crossed.

"Hinata called. She told me she was in her home but to look more closely around. The plan is to go in and do just that. Am I understood?" Kurenai said fiercely.

She purposefully left out the part where the phone cut off for some unknown reason. Everybody nodded so Kurenai stepped away allowing everybody to enter except Akamaru who was too big to fit. Kiba and Shino chose to search the living room. Naruto, Neji, and Sasuke opted to search the guest rooms. Choji and Shikamaru chose the kitchen. The four female kunoichi all chose Hinata's room and bathrooms.

"What could she of meant by look closely?" Kiba asked Shino.

"Perhaps Hinata has found some hidden room." Shino suggested.

Kiba let out a loud laugh. "Yeah right."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kiba. Shino." Hinata whispered as she peeked her head from behind the phone.

True enough, it was her two teammates. She noticed their heads turning and assumed they were going to leave, so she quickly ran out from her hiding place out into the open. Their heads were still turned. Now, she had to think of a plan to get their attention.

"Kiba! Shino!" Hinata yelled as loud as she could which was difficult for her since she was usually so soft spoken.

Shino and Kiba probably wouldn't have heard her if they had normal hearing. But they didn't have normal hearing therefore, they heard her. Turning, the both of them zeroed in on a small Hinata. Kiba's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. Shino remained neutral.

"No way. Hinata is that you?" Kiba said as he leaned closer to her.

A nod from her confirmed his question. A hand appeared in front of her. It was Shino's hand. Hinata knew how Shino handled the bugs when he held them so she had no reason to fear for her safety. She stepped onto Shino's hand and sat down so as to not fall off.

"Guys, we found her!" Kiba yelled loudly.

The sound scared Hinata and she held her ears. Shino noticed this and hit Kiba.

"Her ears are sensitive." Shino informed him.

"Sorry, Hinata." Kiba let out a small laugh.

"Where is she?!" Naruto and Neji simultaneously asked.

Kurenai was the first to see Hinata and she let out a gasp. "Is that...?"

"Hai Sensei." Kiba nodded.

Kurenai stepped forward and gently reached her hand out. Everybody tried to look past her but couldn't. When Kurenai turned around, everybody could clearly see who she held.

"Hinata." Naruto whispered with blue eyes wide just like everybody else's except for Neji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke.

Hinata began to cough and sway.

"Hinata!" everybody yelled in worry except for a select few boys aka Shikamaru and Sasuke.

HInata grabbed her ears in pain.

"Shhh. Don't yell. She has sensitive ears." Kurenai hushed them angrily.

Everybody fell silent. Hinata stood up shakily.

"Are you okay, Lady Hinata?" Neji whispered in worry.

Hinata looked up at him smiling a bit before shaking her head. She fell unconscious scaring everybody.

"Is she..." Kiba asked shakily.

Kurenai gently leaned her ear down and faintly felt breathing. "She's okay but we have to take her to Hokage-sama."

Everybody silently followed her out of the apartment and all the way to the Hokage's office.

I really hope you readers enjoyed reading this. :)
