The Mix Up.
A young girl about seven-teen sat in the back of an all-white truck. She had dark long hair pulled up in a messy bun and eerily white eyes. She looked around and could tell this was not a normal prison bus, for one there were no windows, and two there were no seats. All the prisoners were dressed in the same dark blue jumpsuits with their names printed clearly on the front. She looked idly down at her own tag that read 'Hinata'. She could feel the truck slowing in pace, she braced herself but it didn't make much of a difference as they were all thrown forward.
Hinata watched as the door slowly opened bathing the dank trailer in a blinding light. Whoever hadn't woken when the truck stopped woke now as the light filled the space. Hinata narrowed her eyes at the men who opened the door. They were armed police officers, but they looked so different from the ones at the court house. These men were dressed in black bullet proof vests, and armed with actual guns not just batons or tasers which she was accustomed.
Her white eyes followed the guards as they got into the truck and unlatched the first prisoner. They took his chains like a leash and led him outside. Her brow furrowed, this was unusual. She glanced around at the other inmates, they seemed tired and withdrawn. After a few minutes the guards came back and attached the man to the truck and moved down the line, taking the next man.
A few rounds later and it was her turn, she tensed as the guards came closer. They said nothing as they unhooked her. She stood up for the first time and hours and almost toppled over. A sharp nudge in the side and she was up and moving on trembling legs towards the door. Hinata looked up as fresh hair and sunshine hit her face for the first time in what seemed like days. She couldn't believe that it was just yesterday she was sitting at the court house receiving her sentence. A bottle in her face broke her from her musing, she took it from the guard and was handed a pill with Fe etched in it.
Hinata looked up at the guards face as she held the strange pill. He impatiently motioned her to take it. She stared at it for a minute; they wouldn't drive her all the way out her just to poison her, right? An irritated sigh from the guard signaled her that she was running out of time. Hinata gingerly sipped from the water bottle and pooped the pill; it had a bitter metallic taste that she quickly washed away with the rest of the water. Seeing that she took the pill they lead her to a small out house, her white eyes meet the brown eyes of the guard. He sighed wearily, "This is the last stop before our destination the last break you'll receive so use it wisely." He pushed her in and shut the door.
After her business was finished they pulled her back to the truck, after securing her seat on the floor, the man chained her back up and moved on. While they were getting the next prisoner out, Hinata counted twenty adults including her. She watched the jump suit clad man closest to her, why were adult going to a juvenile prison? Maybe they were dropping her off then taking the rest of the adults where they belonged. With that thought she was able to relax, white eyes closed and soon she was out.
After what felt like hours the truck coming to a stop threw Hinata's small body forward and successfully awoke her from her slumber. Glancing around wearily she cracked her sore neck, wishing she could stretch out the rest of her limbs. A grunting nose caught her attention, looking to her left she saw a man in the usual jump suite staring at her. He caught her eye, white met green, clearing his throat he said "What did you do to be sent here?" Hinata broke eye contacting remembering why she was caught in the first place.
A sigh escaped her body but before she could respond the doors opened again. However no light filled the room this time, it was night outside. "Alright everyone stand up!" This was not the guard from before; he had an air of authority about him. He was tall and well-built with black hair and matching dark eyes, his face was smooth and a classic handsome. "You, get up." He barked. Hinata blushed when she realized she had been staring and was the only one still sitting.
Standing up she watched as one by they were all unchained and led outside. The brisk night air felt good on her sweat skin, it felt good to stretch her legs. She absent mindedly rubbed her sore wrists where the chains had been biting for the journey. Hinata watched as the man from before was handed a clip board, he glanced at all the inmates. "You can try and run but I warn you it's futile. Running will only mean your execution." A shiver ran down her spine, such horrible words spoken in such an easy tone.
The man averted his attention to the guards from the truck, they whispered for a few minutes. Then the guards all walked back to truck they got in the front and drove to gate. A ring and the gate opened letting out the only transportation she could see leave. Hinata took a few moments to glance around. There was only one road going in or out as far as she could tell and it was gated with a few bored men sitting by it. The rest of the area was fenced in to not by razor wire like she would have thought for a prison but a simple stone wall. Following the road ahead she could see a small village like compound. There were small houses all around, but the most noticeable thing was the towering castle that stood in the middle. It looked like something from a fairy tale book. The castle had four prominent towers on each corner and a huge archway she assumed was the entrance
Hearing footsteps her eyes were drawn back to the man from earlier. He was going down the line checking the name tags on each prisoner, then writing something on his clip board. Hinata watched as he separated the inmates into three different groups. She did notice that some of the younger women were placed in one group, some of the younger stronger looking men were placed in another, and finally everyone else was placed in the third group. Turning her eyes to the ground she saw a pair of boots stop in front of her. "What's your name?" His smooth tone demanded of her.
"Hinata." She replied averting her gaze.
"Why aren't you on the list?" He asked.
Pale eyes looked up him pleadingly, she had no idea where she was but she had a sinking feeling this was not where she was supposed to be. "I don't know sir." Her small voice answered.
"What were your charges Hinata?" His dark eyes bore into hers daring her to lie to him.
"I was charged with stealing food." A light blush covered her face, she hated what she had done, but she did have a good reason. Then man's eyebrows pulled together; this was not acceptable.
"Kakashi, finish this. I have to take this one to him. Apparently there was a mix up." A tall man with silver hair stepped forward. He had a mask covering most of his face and one eye. The other eye looked over her seemingly bored.
"Alright Obito, but you owe me one." The dark haired man, Obito, lost his serious face and smiled at him. Which Hinata thought, suited him much better.
"Of course. I'll meet up with you before the feast. Hopefully this won't take that long." Obito grabbed Hinata's arm and gently pulled her forward. "You and I are going to talk to the man in charge, he'll figure out what to do with you."
Hinata followed Obito to the castle. Looking around she could tell it really was a compound, and there were odd fan like symbols all around. They were red on top with white on the bottom and in the shape of a traditional fan. Weird she mused she had never seen it before, but then again she thought, she'd never seen a prison like this one. When they arrived at the castle arches Hinata stopped assuming they were going in, but her eyes widened in shock when Obito turned right and went down a small dirt path.
A few minutes later Hinata bumped into the back of Obito, he had stopped suddenly at a seemingly ordinary wall. He glanced around while Hinata rubbed her sore nose. She watched as he knocked three times and a door appeared. He looked back to see her surprised face, gathering herself and closing her mouth she followed as he opened the door and stepped into a dimly lit corridor.
Upon entering the torch lit corridor, the door disappeared replaced with an ordinary stone wall. Hinata knocked on it once just to make sure she wasn't dreaming. When she seemed satisfied that it was indeed a wall, Obito spoke "Were headed up to the top. You're going to meet our king; he'll decide your fate while you're here."
Hinata gulped and wiped her now sweaty hands on her jump suit. Obito turned away from her and started up the stairs. After a few flights Hinata was breathing hard and trying to stay close to Obito's back. She longed for the water from earlier, but the thought of the bitter pill had her holding her tongue. She didn't want to ask and be forced to take something worse, say poison she thought dryly.
After what felt like an endless trip, they made it to a simple wooden door. Raising a pale hand Obito knocked on the door, a velvet voice answered. "Come in." Hinata tried to calm her breathing, this was it, hopefully they'll figured out the mix up and send her to the juvenile prison where she was supposed to serve out her sentence.
"Wait here. I'm going to go in and explain." He looked down at her and smiled an eerie smile. "Please don't try and run there's really no where for you to go." She gulped looking back into his dark eyes.
"D-don't worry I won't." Her eyes darted to the ground and blush dusted her cheeks with the return of her stutter. She had been working on that. A hand patted her head bringing her gaze back to the man in front of her. A small smile graced his lips before he turned around and entered through the door leaving Hinata standing there pondering her fate.
Muffled deep voices could be heard but she couldn't make out the words they were saying. Hinata looked around, there were no windows and only a few torches lighting the area. She knew there were no other doors, at least none that she had spotted on the way up here. Then again, she remembered the door that appeared from the wall earlier. That was freaky she thought rubbing the goose bumps that rose up on her arms.
Right before her anxiety could peek, the door opened revealing a grinning Obito. "Go on in, I'll see you later." He pushed her towards the open door then took off down the stairs, presumably to attend the feast Kakashi mentioned earlier. Gathering her courage Hinata stepped into the room.
Looking around she couldn't help the blush that spread down her face, this was a bedroom. There was a huge kind sized bed in the corner; it was covered in red and black pillows and blankets. Next there was a small table with two chairs, probably where the room's occupier ate while in here. She saw another door slightly ajar, leading to what looked like a bathroom. Everything was decorated in the black and red theme, there was a small window overlooking the rest on the compound. The distinct sound of paper rustling drew her eyes to the last corner of the room.
There sat the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on. He had long dark hair pulled into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck. He was wearing a black form fitting shirt with matching pants. He was tall and lean but looking at his arms and chest she could tell he was well built. Hinata's pearl colored eyes rose to his face, he had high cheekbones, a straight small nose, and his jaw perfectly chiseled. He looked like a statue from a museum. She noticed the two lines that started at his eyes and ended before his mouth; instead of ruining his features they only enhanced them. Finally white met the darkest obsidian eyes she had ever seen. He raised a dark perfectly sculpted brow.
"Are you done?" His deep voice was filled with amusement drawing out a darker red to Hinata's pale face.
"S-sorry." She managed to squeak out looking down at her feet. After a few seconds of silence, she could hear him move. Not wanting to look up she kept her eyes glued to the floor. A pale hand grasped her chin lightly and forced Hinata to look up and meet his intense stare.
"I'm Itachi Uchiha and we have a lot to discuss." He held her eyes with his for a few minutes. Her face was turning red and giving off a lot of heat, finally he watched as white eyes rolled back and she tumbled forward. Catching her before she hit the floor, the Uchiha smirked; this was going to be interesting. Hyuugas were thought to be extinct, so what was one doing sleeping in his bed. He smirked as he dressed in something more fitting for a feast. He spared her one more glace before he shut and locked the door behind him. He would enjoy this feast; he needed to quench his thirst before dealing with the sleeping girl in the tower.
He made it to the main room just as the screams started; of course his little brother wouldn't wait on him. Shaking his head he watched the guards open the doors bowing to their King. He glided in the room and everyone bowed some mumbling apologies for starting before he arrived, he waved it off, he knew it was unusual for he rarely attended the feast preferring to eat of his own accord. He sat at the head of the table waiting for the server to bring him his meal. He locked eyes with a dark haired man sitting to his right; Itachi smirked noting that Sasuke's eyes were already red. A door opened and the server brought him two choices, eyes bleeding red he picked the woman. Let the feast begin.
Next chapter soon. Leave a review if you liked it. It's going to be ItachixHinata pairing maybe a little SasukexHinata.
