This is the rewrite of "Fade". To make things simple, I've renamed it as "Darkness"

It'll follow the story line of its original, but have a few things changed. And more order to it.

I hope you enjoy and I really do hope it is much better than the other since that's why I'm doing this XD

I'll try to get more than 2 chapters up before I move on to the next story. After everything as reached where I want...I have a surprise ;)

Remember, they're 15 here. except for the you know who's.

and I'll try to have the next chapter up by next week. Would be sooner, and I will try, but my nephew is a little time occupational XD so, I'll definitely get it up before I go out of town where there's no internet and I can't do it. :)

I'm also trying that image cover thing! It's a little different, but looks like fun to me.

Please read and review!

Ch.1

Taken

*Sakura*

Kabuto held Hinata close to his chest, a kunai positioned menacingly and threateningly close to her pale soft throat. I gulped nervously and stood still holding out my hand signaling the other girls to stop. We had been out at the training fields, just us girls today while the boys went and did their things. The sky high and blue, grass rustling with the wind and the trees screaming in fear when Kabuto slithered his disgusting self behind us, hidden in the shadows.

"Let her go." I glared at him and he smiled back rather smugly.

"Can't." He said in a whiny voice, mockingly pulling her tighter, his hold around her constricting her breath. "Unless, you are all willing to come with me."

Hinata didn't have her byakugan on when he attacked, we were taking a break after a few heavy spars and she had let go of the jutsu. He took that movement to attack us, spring up from underground and grabbing her. We didn't even have time to fight him off.

The poor girl gasped for breath. "It's not to hard to say yes. Sasuke did." Those annoying eyes laughed as he hit a nerve.

Sauske had been dragged back, kicking and screaming curses, by Naruto. Both bleeding and dieing. After he had tried to betray the village, he was put on probation and house arrest, but he didn't try to leave anymore. Something was turning in his head, deep depression and anger, but he did stay and we were trying to help patch up his inner wounds. Now, oh, now I was pissed.

I pulled my glove tight onto my hand, it was made with special fabric to take most of the hit away from my fist when I attacked. "Don't you dare say another word!"

With a cry of anger I punched the ground, sending a shock wave to the traitor and his grip loosened on Hinata and she hit him back with a juuken strike to his abdomen.

"Billboard brow!" Ino yelled, "Watch out!"

TenTen jumped before me, unleashing a whirlwind on kunai on Kabuto as he flew at us like a cannon. Hinata huffed. landing beside be hands on her knees and gasping for breath.

"T-thanks Sakura-chan." She closed her eyes for a second. "Byakugan!"

"Hey! Running out of kunai, and I didn't exatly bring my entire arsenal, I've only got four scrolls on hand." TenTen called out, controlling the trajectory of her weapons with chakra string while Kabuto dogged them effortlessly. Ino ran over and pulled her backwards.

"Watch out!" She hollered, defending herself quickly from a flying kunai. A thick blob rose from where TenTen was about to land a minuet before, reviling the smug features of Kabuto.

Ino turned to Hinata. "Are they both clones?" The girl nodded.

TenTen crouched low, letting her knaui fall to the ground and instead pulled out another scroll. My eyes watched the two clones carefully as the second Kabuto pulled himself out of the ground.

"Then where's the real one?"

"Over there!" Hinata pointed behind her. Quickly I threw a kunai to where she pointed and watched as he jumped out from the trees.

"You can't hid with the byakugan." TenTen smirked, pulling open her scroll.

"You're right, I can't." His head tilted to the side, a stray drop of blood dripped down and off his cheek while the cut from my knife healed almost instantly. "But this wasn't meant to be a long fight, becasue I obviously can't fight a thousand konoha nin, and I'm not looking forward to fighting each of you into submission. This is easier."

"This?" Ino stepped forward, only to fall on her face. "Wha-what?"

I felt dizzy, the trees around me blurred out and fell to my knees, watching as the other girls met the ground. "Poison?" I couldn't see any smoke, nor could I smell any.

"Feel honored, you're four are the first to test it out." I gritted my teeth and tried to push my self up on my arms. No way was I going down. But my limps felt like rocks, as if I had suddenly put on Lee's weights, making them heavy, numb and useless.

He ignored our fruitless struggles and pulled out a kunai, feet crushing on the ground as he headed to Ino first. "Leave her alone!"

There was a sick cracking noise that momentarily paused my struggles allowing my body fall to the ground again sending dust flying into my eyes. He had hit the back of her head with the blunt edge, knocking her out instantly.

"Don't think about it little Hyuga heiress." He glared over to Hinata, and I turned my head to see what trick she was trying.

Hinata was slowly coating her body in chakra, letting it out through her pours trying to get rid of the poison. She managed to stay on her knees and elbows, but her body was trembling with the effort. Kabuto sighed as if he were dealing with an annoying child while he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. Quick as silver he slammed her head into the ground, then walked towards me unfazed as she collapsed unmoving.

"Only two."

"I'll kill you." I spat at his feet. This horrible man, how dare he do this! How did this even happen? Why? My light when black after his hand when up.

I've also shortened it a little, a lot, as you can see. The other one felt to rushed, so I'ma try and slow it down some what.

I hope you all enjoyed the read. :)
