Well I figured I finally realized which direction I want to go in. Trust me, this will probably be a bit different than the usual...who you think it is...maybe not always be who it is...

Disclaimer: I dont own Naruto. I know...thats such a sad sentence to say...

If you close your eyes...it may just all go away...


If I close my eyes...

And count backwards from ten...

Then maybe it will all go away...

Ten.

She was running, and couldn't seem to catch her breath as she stumbled through the trees. Her heart beat faster and faster the sound of rushing blood loud in her ears. Her out stretched hands felt the brush of leaves and the nick of thorns every so often, she knew these woods well but couldn't seem to think long enough. She was terrified.

Nine.

Pushing through some bushes she cried out as she rolled down the small hill, feeling rocks poke into her sides, fingernails trying desperately to latch onto something to keep herself from falling. But it was no use as she rolled and rolled. Finally stopping the girl banged her head against a rock so hard she seen stars behind her eyes. Groaning softly she touched her head sickened to feel something wet matting her hair. She was bleeding. As if it couldn't get any worse.

Eight.

A twig snapped and the blue haired beauty froze large lavender eyes wide, her pale hands coming to cover her mouth as she screamed. 'No...Please no, don't let him find me…'

Seven.

"Hinata….sweet little one, why did you run?" His voice of soft velvet crooned to her echoing off the trees. "Come back my little love…" A deep dark chuckle bounced off the trees and Hinata whimpered in fear.

Six.

Rolling onto her stomach she panicked trying to stand, but she was dizzy and sick with fear. The wet leaves beneath her feet weren't helping either as she slipped a few times before finally catching her balance. Stumbling Hinata steadied herself; her hands shook as pushed off a tree. She had to get away, and quick. But how… Then the soft gurgle of the brook was near. And being so close to the brook means she could go to him for help. "Hinata…." Someone sang to her and she gasped.

Five.

Pushing her aching body toward the brook, fear and hope filled her gut. Fear he would catch her. And hope that somehow she may make it out of here alive. In the shadows she could barely make out the outline of a small cottage, the lantern in the window helped out greatly.

Four.

Someone tackled her, the force of his body bearing down on hers. Hinata groaned in pain before realizing exactly what was happening. Fighting she tried to punch, kick and bite him, anything to get away. He chuckled taking her beating easily. Hinata almost cried she was exhausted too exhausted to fight back.

Three.

Catching her hands he grabbed them tightly squeezing them tightly. Hinata whimpered as his other hand pressed over her mouth. "Hello love…" He breathed by her ear. Hinata squeezed her eyes shut. 'If I count backwards from ten…it will all go away…' "Don't ignore me you little bitch!" He snarled grasping her hair and giving a hard tug. Hard enough to make her cry out, standing he kept a firm grasp on her hair dragging her to the small brook.

Two.

Hinata tried to fight back, her movements desperate as she claws at his hand. Her scalp was blood from both the cut from earlier and his jerking her hair. "This will teach you." Laughing he finally dragged her to the brook, the water sloshing around as she was dragged in. He turned her over and held her face down. "Let's see you escape me now you little slut." He growled pushing her angrily into the water, ignoring her struggles.

One.

Hinata woke up with a start screaming, her nails clawing at her cheeks and throat, screaming and screaming until she was hoarse. The door whipped open revealing her sisters looking around hands up and ready to attack. "Hinata!" Sakura and Ino shouted in unison, rushing to her. Sakura grabbed her hands, stopping them from leaving anymore marks. Ino hugged her close making soothing noises.

"It was only a dream…only a dream…" The blonde crooned softly, her eyes looking fearfully on her younger sister. Sakura shared her look wondering what on earth was going on.

Hinata gradually calmed down, giving into the warmth they threw off and the calming noises they were making. Closing her eyes she relaxed slowly. 'I haven't forgotten…' She thought sadly clinging to Ino closely. 'I haven't forgotten…"
