Heiwa: A Naruto Story

Angel of Anime

Chapter One:

"Hinata, watch out behind you!" hollered Kiba, fending off a ninja from behind him. Kurenai's team was on a mission to find long-term bandits who've been pests for too long, take back what lute they didn't sell, and bring them to Konohato except their punishment. There were twelve off them, more than half in their mid-forties, the rest in their late twenties or early thirties.

Hinata nodded, pulling out a kunai, "Right." Activating Byakugan, the girl thrust her weapon to the tall, grubby man, only to find that he'd blocked it. Ready for that, she was about to use Gentle Fist; that was when he slipped his right hand over her mouth and with his left secured her body so she couldn't struggle.

"You're coming with me, pretty little girl," he whispered hoarsely in her ear while she fought to scream. Hinata even risked tasting unclean flesh and bit him, but the man didn't even flinch as he snuck off with her.

No, let me go; let me go, she thought desperately. We're in foreign lands, fighting against bandits… where is the strategy? And… w-what does this man plan on doing with me?Hinata shut her eyes and stopped trying to get out of the dark man's grip; I just hope Kiba and Shino will find me before it is too late…

Fiveminutes later, which felt enormously longer to the captive, Hinata opened her pale lavender eyes to find that the man holding her had halted. Her surroundings were shadowy as it was dark, but she could tell they were in a forest, or something similar. With one hand, the outlaw roughly tied Hinata's and carefully separating his other from her mouth to restrain her screams for help.

When the man smirked and pushed her to the ground, the kunoichi was named helpless at that instant. The worst thing that could happen to a female ninja was happening to her right now; getting on top of her, the fugitive told her to shut up, quit whimpering as he licked away the silent tears that rolled down her cheeks disgustingly. "This'll be over quicker 'n you think, little girl." His breath was hot and smelled terribly; worse than onions or rotten milk.

N-no, no…Hinatachanted in her mind, wanting desperately to cry out for someone, anyone that could save her. K-kiba, Akamaru, Shino…

-

"Hey, Shino, where'd Hinata get to?" Kiba asked, wiping off his hands after finishing the last of the men. "I don't smell her anywhere, and neither does Akamaru."

Shino called back the last of his insects. "Are you sure? My insects can't detect her, either." Kibasniffed the air once more, and then a worried look crossed his usually playful features. He stared at the pile of smutty, worn out men and counted only eleven, when he distinctly remembered there being twelve.

"One of those guys has Hinata; c'mon Shino, we have to find her," Kiba shouted, already following Hinata's trail. Shino's bugs crawled back out of his loose sleeves and hovered around him as he chased after his fellow teammate.

-

It had already been twenty minutes, and Hinata wanted to die. The man was being so rough, and she couldn't handle it. She found it difficult to breathe; she was nauseous; the girl's thoughts were even tired of screaming in agony. She'd given up on hoping someone would come before it was too late, because, it was too late. Powerless in that situation, she could only wait; wait for someone to come. That was all.

"Hey, Hinata, where are you?" called a familiar voice. Hinata slightly beamed, her eyes widening in glee. K-kiba, is that you? If I could activate my Byakugan, then maybe I could see how far he is from me… Her chance of doing that was just killed. I don't have my hands, though, and what would I do once I knew where he was? I can only rely on his and Akamaru's sense of smell now.

Kiba cupped his hands around his mouth, "Hinata!" Akamaru barked along with him, and Shino told his bugs to go ahead of them and search. "She's close," Kiba smelled. "And someone's with her. It's one of those bandits, like I said!" He sped up and so did the other Shinobi behind him. Kiba nearly lost footing on one of the branches, he went so fast.

"Slow down, or you'll just fall," Shino told him, but received no reply. The brunette with red upside-down triangles on his cheeks only went faster, until he finally reached Hinata. He and Shino, and the giant white dog halted immediately as they eyed the scene:

The gagged Hinata was crying, sweaty, and her hair was a tangled mess as she lied on her back. Every last article of her clothing no longer clung to her body and was spread on the grassy ground around her.

The man was on top of her, wearing nothing as well. Drops of sweat made their way down his forehead while he had his hand over Hinata's breast. He showed a yellow and brown grin that made Kiba cringe and want to kill him. He'd paused in what he was doing when Hinata's saviors arrived.

"Hinata, what'd this guy do to you?" his voice drowning with fury, Kiba demanded, though he already knew.

Shino, his tone low and calm, informed Kiba of the fact that Hinata couldn't reply. "She's gagged, remember?" he said, telling his insects to come back to him. Kiba has this, he told himself.

"All right, I'm going to pulverize you!" the eighteen year old boy growled; his hands clenched into a fist as he lunged toward his target. By that time, the bandit was standing and had his grey-green pants on and Hinata had pulled her legs up against her chest in an attempt to hide her unclothed body. Shino leaped down from the tree branch he was standing in to untie the girl's hands and un-gag her.

"Kiba, no!" she shrieked, her arms tightly hugging her shins. He stopped at once, but still had the livid desire to pound the guy.

"Why?" he bellowed. "Why don't you want me to get this guy, huh?" Akamaru was at his side, growling just as loudly as Kiba was.

Hinata shook her head. "I… It's n-not the mi-mission, Kiba. If you k-kill him… t-then Lady Hokage m-might be angry…" she answered, unsure of whether that was the reason she didn't want Kiba to hurt him, or if she really did want the outlaw hurt, but let her good nature and love of harmony get the better of her.

It took a moment for Kiba to calm down, but when he did, he held out his hand. "Shino, toss me the rope," he said as Shino did so. "All right," he began tying the man's wrists together, a lot tighter than necessary. "But you're going to get a special punishment, got it?" he warned the man, his brown brows furrowed.

The brigand just smirked at Kiba, and at Hinata. He didn't care about what happened to him, not really. That was why he became a fugitive in the first place; not because he believed he would never be caught. He just didn't care if he was, but that didn't make him sloppy in his work.

As Kiba held the man's rope firmly in his hands, Hinata stuttered a reminder that she still didn't have any clothes on. She and Kiba's cheeks burned, and he turned around, holding the man so that he couldn't look back at her either. Shino turned as well. "U-um, I…" Kiba and Shino turned around. "We can go n-now…" Hinata told them.

"Hm," Kiba nodded. Shino was the first to leap into a tree, then Hinata, and then Kiba, the bandit, and Akamaru.

a/n: Well, I hope chapter one is okay. I tried to make sure they were all in-character, so I hope I didn't fail at that. Hinata is eighteen now, and I think she's fainted all the faints her body and mind could possibly allow. Seriously, with all that fainting, you'd think she has some sort of condition, right? Hmm, anyway, I really do hope that this story isn't a lost cause, because I really like it so far. I've already planned most of it, and have chapter two completed. Um...
