SOFT SENTENCES || accepting! || @medicfist
This is another one of those situations that leave Hinata struggling, fighting, and yelling back to the world to live until she’s left breathless, covered in sweat, and wheezing to stand. But, it’s always a silent scream, a QUIET internal voice that shouts like that, and Hinata has only heard it once or twice in her entire lifetime. It’s not to say that she hasn’t heard it in different situations, but she knows it’s there and it always niggles in the back of her mind. It’s telling her now to fight, to claw, and to wrench herself out of this and go HOME.
Her eyes seek out the pink haired shinobi amid the CARNAGE wrought around her. Hinata, shakily, rises to stand with her hands on her knees. The faint tendrils of her remaining Chakra are screaming at her this time, telling her she’s pushed herself too far. But if her friends are out there fighting… if her village is out there fighting, then she needs to fight. However, she’s not careless in how she struggles. She knows that her friends and allies are counting on her and she knows that she NEEDS to make sure that the enemy is taken down without too much of a risk of themselves.
This mission has been hard, she’ll admit, but she’s doing her BEST. Her utmost best and she feels the sense of pride that comes from both Sakura and Ino in this makeshift team that has them grouped for this mission. It’s specific—Ino is aiding in the espionage, something Hinata can help with, and Sakura is essentially their guard. They were not a trio trifled with, and it’s evident in the manner that they CARRIED themselves. Only, Hinata should’ve caught the trap. It’s a little late, but they barely managed to dodge it and pursue the enemies that they’ve been trying to track down for days.
They need information—that’s ALL they wanted. But the enemy isn’t so kind—they aren’t listening to them when they insist that is all they wanted.
When she manages to find the pink-haired shinobi, minutes later and it feels like it’s been hours since she’s seen her last, and she’s already on the very edge of how much Chakra she has remaining. That’s when it DAWNS on her—the trap siphoned a majority of their Chakra when they got caught in its full netting. It’s another mistake, and she wants to stop counting the number of errors she keeps making. No, it’s NOT her fault, she reasons moments later. Her Byakugan hadn’t been activated when they were traversing through an area that they hadn’t even seen the enemy ever. They did not need concern, but they should know better. Kurenai-sensei’s words echo in her mind like a heartbeat and Hinata grits her teeth. She swallows the lump in her throat when she recalls Sakura pushing her aside to SAVE her.
Sakura is beaten back with a hard kick to the chest and Hinata winces for her before moving and jumping in front of her before the enemy could run fast enough to do it again. There’s a heat that pools in her chest, a burning sensation that tingles her senses and her Byakugan activates when she takes her stance.
And now, it’s time for her to return the favor.
❝Get away from her!❞ Hinata exclaims, her voice, usually subdued and soft, is hard and determined.
But they don’t listen, lunging for the already weakened shinobi that she moves faster then they can dash.
There’s a hard punch here, directly into their chest cavity that there’s a subtle boom that comes out from behind them from the pressure. She’s DISABLED their Chakra channels, and she can hear them gasping when three more appear. No, no one is getting anywhere NEAR Sakura.
Especially when she says those words, her heart swells, and she’s taking a breath and calming. Sakura TRUSTS her to do the job, and Ino should be showing up soon enough to provide the necessary backup to finish it. She’s going to protect Sakura with every fiber of her being—even if it meant that they were going to try to use her as a punching bag in the meantime. All Sakura needed is a few minutes—a few minutes—and Sakura would beat them down within an inch of their life as payback.
And their mission would be accomplished once they’ve been CAPTURED.
