Next chapter is finally ready.

Descent Into Darkness

Chapter 2

Hinata didn't move a muscle, frozen in fear as her back was pressed up against Hidan's chest. His arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, and he bent down to rest his head on top of hers. Her heart was beating rapidly, and she seemed to hold her breath as she waited for him to make his next move.

"I told you that there was no point in running from me," he remarked. "But I have to give you fucking credit for trying." He turned her around so that she was facing him, gazing down at her beautifully terrified face as he held onto her shoulders. "Now, why don't we get started? My god would just love a sacrifice as lovely as you."

In a wave of panic, Hinata released a burst of chakra, causing Hidan to weaken his grip on her. She used that opportunity to break free and jump over onto the next tree over. Activating her Byakugan, she looked at his chakra points, hoping to use the knowledge to her advantage.

"Fuck, you're a feisty one," Hidan said with a laugh, amused by her persistence. "You really don't know when to give up, do you? That's fine, I think it's adorable. I mean, I'm way more interested in you than your dumbass friend back there. So please, keep putting up a fight for all I care. In the end, I will get you." He took the scythe from his back and swung it at her.

Hinata ducked down and dodged the attack, then tried to kick his legs out from under him. Hidan slipped for a split second, before regaining his footing and swinging his scythe upward. The girl flipped backward, but not before the blade snagged the bottom of her sweater. It was sliced all the way up to the neckline, and upon her landing, Hidan could see the sizable bust that she had tried to keep hidden. Surprised, she deactivated her Byakugan, now wearing only a mesh shirt. The fabric of her sweater had been ruined, and as much as she hated discarding the destroyed article, it would only get in the way.

"So, that's what you're hiding under that fucking sweater?" He grinned as she tossed the sweater aside, her pretty face reddening with a deep blush. "Nice."

Hinata crossed her arms over her chest, feeling very modest as he blatantly stared at her. Now wasn't the best time to get embarrassed, however. She had to focus on either getting away from him or fighting him long enough for Naruto to defeat that masked guy.

"Aww, c'mon, don't be so shy," Hidan teased. "You look better without it. At least now the world knows that you have a nice fucking set of tits."

Hinata tried to ignore his taunts, and got into her fighting stance, mentally yelling at herself for wearing such a see-through top. Hidan, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the view, and he took a step closer to her.

"S-Stay away from me," Hinata warned him, trying to keep her voice steady. "I-I'm warning you."

He laughed softly, putting his scythe on his back once again. "Look at you, trying to be threatening. You look like a scared little bunny. Fuck, you can't even talk without stuttering. What the fuck do you think is going to happen? Do you think that you can actually beat me?"

"No," she admitted, her gaze locking with his for a moment. "I know that I'm probably going to die. But I'm going to at least put up a fight."

"Good. It would be boring otherwise." Before she could even react, Hidan had lunged forward and pinned her against the tree. "See how fucking simple that was?"

Hinata looked up at him, petrified. He was much taller than her, and probably weighed almost twice as much, all of it muscle. A kunai was pressed against her throat, the metal cold against her skin.

"Now...should we start the ritual?" Hidan traced her jaw with the ninja tool, not quite hard enough to draw any blood.

The girl whimpered, trembling as he slowly dragged the kunai close to her throat again. Without warning, Hidan dug into her neck hard enough to make a small cut. Hinata squeaked in surprise, then felt warm blood trickle from the small wound. Hidan bent down and brought his face to her neck, running his tongue over the bleeding cut. Letting out a choked sob, Hinata was unable to stop him as he continued to lap up her blood. Her knees gave out, but Hidan held onto her so that she wouldn't collapse.

"Please," she begged, her voice barely audible. "Please stop..."

After a few more seconds, Hidan finally moved his head back up. He licked the last of the blood from his lips, his violet eyes gazing into her terrified lavender ones. Her blood was so sweet, much sweeter than any that he had ever tasted before. He wanted more, and was about to lower his face back to her neck. However, in a wave of panic, Hinata found the strength to move. Unfortunately for Hidan, it happened to be a knee that went upwards into his groin.

"Fuck!" Hidan let go of her and grabbed his crotch with one hand. "You fucking little bitch!" He clenched his other hand into a fist and drove it into her stomach, his eyes now filled with rage.

The punch knocked the wind right out of Hinata, and she dropped down to her knees. She held her stomach, unable to even try to gasp for air. It felt like an eternity before she finally managed to get a lungful of oxygen. Hidan recovered before she did, and he grabbed a handful of her long silky hair. Hinata let out a weak cry of pain as he pulled her up, before being slammed into the tree once again.

"That fucking hurt," the Jashinist growled, letting go of her hair to grip her shoulders instead. "Are you trying to piss me off?"

Hinata struggled against his hold, finding it useless. If anything, he pressed her against the tree even harder, pinning her so she couldn't even move. "L-Let me go!"

"Now, why would I do that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "I went through all this trouble just to catch up to you." He was mocking her, as it was obvious that he had barely put forth any effort. "I even got kneed in the fucking balls for it."

"I-I'm sorry," she murmured, still trying to break free. "Please let me go."

Hidan leaned down, his face only inches from hers. The pain in his nether regions had already mostly subsided, as she hadn't used as much force as she could have. He stroked her cheek with his index finger, noticing how she was shaking.

"You really are beautiful. Maybe I won't kill you right away. It's been fucking forever since the last time I got any action. The fact that you're a virgin makes me that much more tempted," he told her, his lips brushing up against her rosy ones.

Hinata felt as her heartbeat quickened to the point where she feared that she might have a heart attack. This man was part of the Akatsuki, which meant that he was not only dangerous, but a murderer as well. One wrong move and she'd be dead before she even realized it.

Hidan reached down and grabbed one of her breasts, massaging the soft mound in his hand. He chuckled when the girl whimpered and turned a deep shade of red. "You like that?"

"S-S-Stop it," she finally managed, then moaned softly.

He smirked. "Apparently you do."

Hinata's eyes began to burn with tears and she closed them tightly, trying her hardest not to panic. There was nothing she could do to stop him, and he seemed to be in no mood to quit any time soon. Still, she had to think of something. Anything.

Hidan brought his lips to hers for a rough kiss, causing the girl to gasp. Her eyes, which had been hidden under long, thick eyelashes, snapped open in surprise. He held the kiss for a few seconds, enjoying the softness of her pink lips. Everything about her was so sweet. When he finally pulled away, he could see the stunned expression on her face.

"What, was that your first fucking kiss?" he asked, giving her breast a squeeze.

Instead of answering his question, she mewled and tried to squirm away. "Please stop..."

Hidan rubbed his thumb over her nipple, causing her to jump and inadvertently release another burst of chakra. This one was twice as powerful as the one she had used on him earlier. It sent Hidan flying back, slamming him into a different tree. Just as he crashed into it, Hinata heard a loud explosion coming from the area that Naruto was. Naruto-kun! Not wanting to stick around to face Hidan's wrath, she took off as fast as her body would allow her to, heading towards Naruto.

Growling, Hidan stood up on the branch that he had landed on. Although irritated, he couldn't help but be mildly amused by her persistence. Nevertheless, he was getting rather impatient and wanted to get things started. He went after her, noticing that she was moving faster than she had earlier. Although he sped up, she was had managed to put a little distance between them. So, she's going back to that fucking brat? We'll fucking see about that.

Hidan chased her through the trees, impressed by how she maneuvered over and under the branches. She was flexible and graceful, two qualities that Hidan found irresistible. However, he was slowly gaining on her again.

Hinata continued her way back to Naruto, her worry increasing as she drew closer to the site. She could hear the noises from his battle, and prayed that he was alright. To her dismay, Hidan was gradually catching up to her again. Using the same tactic she had earlier, she turned so that she was jumping and flipping backwards. She fired several chakra needles at him in hopes of at least slowing her down. Hidan saw this and, having learned from the previous time, took his scythe and spun it in front of him to deflect the needles.

"You can't get me with the same attack a second time!" he called to her, grinning sadistically. "You think I'm that fucking stupid?"

Almost there, just a little further... Hinata sent out another barrage of needles, concentrating to increase their size. These ones were more difficult to Hidan to block completely, and he swore when he felt a few pierce into his shoulder and thigh.

"You're only pissing me off even more," he told her as he kept moving forward, unphased.

Hinata landed on a branch and paused for a moment, and Hidan stopped as well, waiting to see what she was up to. Was she giving up? Knowing that there was no other choice, Hinata manifested the rest of her remaining chakra into her hands. Blue flames seemed to appear on them, and Hidan was intrigued as they formed into lions' faces.

"Twin Lion Fists!" The girl lunged forward, propelling herself at such a speed that even Hidan was taken off guard for a moment.

She punched him in the chest as hard as she could, knocking the scythe right out of his hand at the same time. I did it! Her fist seemed to buried in him, causing what would seem like a fatal injury.

"Huh. I was expecting it to hurt a little more." Hidan looked down at her with a slightly disappointed look on his face.

What? It didn't work? But... In her distraction, Hidan retaliated by kicking her in the abdomen, sending her into another tree. Hinata felt the back of her head slam into the hard wood, and saw colored spots in front of her face. But how? She felt so drained from using the last of her chakra, and hitting her head that hard made her more disoriented. It...it went right through him...

As if reading her thoughts, Hidan smirked at her as he went to retrieve his weapon. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention something; I'm immortal. So even though your attack right there put a fucking hole in my chest, it can't actually kill me. Nice try, though."

Immortal? The word sounded almost foreign to her as she tried to grasp what he just said. How could he be immortal? It just didn't seem possible...

"Are you ready to give up yet? You obviously can't fucking kill me, let alone beat me," he told her smugly, putting his scythe on his back.

No... I have to...help Naruto-kun... Hinata shakily stood up again, feeling herself sway for a moment. Her head was in excruciating pain and she was so dizzy, that she couldn't see straight. Still, she had to try to get to Naruto.

Hidan watched as she unsteadily hopped over to the next tree, still attempting to get to her friend. Just for the hell of it, he allowed her to move closer to the area where his own partner was, trailing behind her. Wonder how Kakuzu's doing against that fucking kid. Might as well find out to see if he needs any help. He noticed that Hinata had stopped for a moment, and had a feeling of what was going to happen next. Jumping down from the tree he was in, he landed on his feet on the ground below, peering back up at the girl.

Hinata shook her head, trying to get rid of the double and triple images she was seeing. She felt so weak from using all of her chakra and mentally chastised herself for doing something so reckless. However, it had seemed like the only option at the time. And despite her disorientation, she was close to Naruto. She could even see an orange blur in the distance, as well as something else that caused her to gasp. Is that lighting? And fire? Before she could move any further, however, she felt another wave of dizziness. Darkness began to surround her, and she felt herself slowly passing out. No! Not yet. Not until...I get to...

Hidan watched as she suddenly fell, plummeting towards the ground. The Jashinist bolted over to where she was falling, moving as fast as he could. He jumped up and caught her in his arms mid-air, before landing on the ground. Hidan stared at the unconscious girl for a few seconds, captivated by her beauty. He heard another loud crash, and sighed.

"Better go see how everything is going," he mumbled, then walked the rest of the way over.

"Is that really the best you can do?" Kakuzu asked with a somewhat bored tone.

"Bastard," Naruto growled, glaring at the strange masked creatures that had come from the man's back. "What the hell are those things?"

Hidan stepped out into the open to make his presence known. "Hey, Kakuzu! Are you almost fucking done yet or do you need my help?"

Naruto looked over at him, and gasped at what he saw. To his horror, the silver-haired man was carrying Hinata, who appeared to be unconscious. "Hinata!"

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next one will be out within a week or so. Maybe less.
