Okay I'm starting another story. Geez, I rarely update my others ones as it is.. Lol. Hopefully I keep everything updated, but this plot bunny wouldn't go away so.. Wahlah!

A wide-eyed girl was walking hastily through the forest. She looked so delicate and fragile that anyone could go swoop her up and take her away. But that wasn't the case. She wasn't as delicate as she looked. No. She was a very powerful kunoichi from the village hidden in the leaf. Not only that but she was the heiress to the Hyuga clan.

But right now the girl's eyes were wide and alert, looking for any sign of her teammates. She had lost them earlier when an enemy had attacked them. A rather strong enemy. Hinata knew right away this would be a dangerous situation the second she saw the two cloaks with the telltale red clouds on them.

And now here she is, all alone, now in greater danger without her teammates. But when the tall blue-skinned one brought out his sword all her chakra was drained when she tried to help her teammates fight them. Now not only was she chilled to the bone from the downpour of the rain, but also unable to fight. Most of her chakra was used up. She knew she had to find her teammates before the Akatsuki found her.

The girl tripped over a twig and fell down. She cried out as she fell to the forest floor, and a rock sliced open her knee, causing her to grunt in pain. But she didn't get up. She stayed on the ground staring at her hands. Where is Kiba and Shino? She thought worried. Maybe it would be a better idea to wait there for Kiba to smell her out. But what if he needs my help, what if they kill him.. She thought as her eyes stung with tears. She couldn't let that happen when all she would do is sit there, hoping for them to come rescue her like she was a princess.

"No." She said aloud. She would go and help her teammates, even if it killed her. She wouldn't live with herself if she did nothing while the Akatsuki tore them apart. Think Hinata.. Which Akatsuki members were they.. and what background knowledge do we have on them.. She bit her lip, as she got up, the gash on her knee throbbing in pain. Of course she had many other wounds from her initial confrontation with the two Akatsuki. But they have dulled in pain. She didn't pay her pain any mind however, finding her team was the more important thing.

Hinata started walking again, her eyes stinging. But she couldn't cry. She couldn't be weak right now, she had to find her team. She listened closely, trying to see if she could hear anyone or anything nearby, but the downpour of rain drowned out any sound. She bit her lip and looked down, trying to hold back the tears threatening to fall. She had to be strong. She kept walking through the forest, and used the little chakra she had left to activate Byakugan.

Her three-sixty vision didn't see anything. She couldn't see anyone near. How long had she been wondering since they were separated? She couldn't of wondered in the wrong direction, could she? She bit her lip harder as a gust of wind rushed by her, making her already soaked body shiver more than it already was.

"Keep moving.. Must find them.." Hinata said to herself, trying to help her journey along. She keep walking, wincing from the pain of her aching muscles, but that didn't stop her. She couldn't die here. Not without helping her teammates. She didn't want to die that useless Hyuga her dad always thought she was.

"Ah, I thought we already took care of you." Hinata suddenly heard a voice say behind her. She whipped around to look at the owner, but from the tone of it she already knew it wasn't Kiba or Shino.

Hinata gasped.

She was most certainly going to be dead. She wouldn't be able to fight him off.

There was Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's brother standing behind her. He was wearing his Akatsuki robe and gazing into her eyes with such an intensity that it instantly intimidated her. These were going to be the eyes of her murderer. She swallowed and closed her eyes, waiting for his attack.

"I think it's kind of rude to close your eyes when talking to someone." She heard his voice say, and she instantly whipped her eyes open, processing his words.

"I don't want to watch.. When you kill me..." Hinata said. What am I saying! She thought. I can't submit to death now! I have to fight there might be a chance that I'll make it out! She thought, and her eyes narrowed as her hands glowed blue. She rushed towards him trying to land a few strikes of gentle fist on him.

Itachi was expecting something like that and quickly dodged it and watched as she stumbled over a tree root. He used this mistake to get close to her and press a kunai to her throat. But not hard enough to cut through her pale skin.

"That's not very polite either." He said sternly, looked at her. She had tears at the corner of her eyes.

"I can't die here!" She shouted at him, panting hard.

"Who said I was going to kill you?" He said back to her. "You're a Hyuga. I can tell. You're Hiashi's daughter. You've come a long way, Hyuga."

"How'd you go undetected by my Byakugan?" She demanded, trying not to appear weak in front of the Uchiha.

"I used genjutsu. I've been following you for awhile, Hyuga." He told her. "Now do you remember my brother, Sasuke? I'm sure he probably was snobby in your eyes wasn't he? He probably didn't give you a good impression did he?" He asked her, and she swallowed a lump in her throat before nodding as much as the kunai on her throat would allow. Itachi gave her a slight smile. "Well, that's his loss."

"What do you want from me?" She said, starting to feel more scared as he stared more into her eyes. His sharingan was activated, she didn't know what he was planning on doing.

"Shh." He told her before she saw his free hand reaching towards her face, she immediately was alert, her eyes wide as she saw chakra glowing from his fingertips. She watched as he pressed his fingers to her temple. "I'll see you soon." He told her.

Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she passed out.

Sorry for the short chapter! I really want them to be longer than this but.. You do whatcha gotta do, right? Anyways I kind of like Hinata paired with the Uchiha boys.. I'm thinking of writing a Sasuke x Hinata fic too. But it'll probably be a dark fic if I get to writing it. Hmm. Anyways, please review! It'll get me to update this quicker!
