It has been many years I gave her my heart… And each day I feel her getting stronger. When I heard of the Chūnin, in which she was to be in, I snuck into the village, and watched her fight. The little girl I had seen many years before had grown up. Her long indigo hair, her curvy body…. She definitely wasn't the child I had seen three years before….
Still, her heart spoke to me, telling me that even in this moment, the greatest achievement she could ever do, she was still lonely... Her father still treated her like she was nothing, forbidding her body guard to protect her, hoping that she would die... Her cousin, and sister still verbally abused her... And at this point, one of the most triumphant times in her life, i was the only one cheering her on... unfortunatly, i could not show it...
When she had won her last fight, I could swear she looked up at me… But, I'm sure she didn't see me… Then I again, I'm sure Mogi made her aware of my presence. That is when I take my cue to leave. I look back at her, feeling a sense that she is aware of me… But unfortunately, I cannot show her my identity just yet…
Well it wasn't until a few years later that she finally could meet me.
Hinata was alone on a mission, everything that could've gone wrong, defiantly went wrong… She was separated from her team mates, which to make it all worst, she was sure one of them was a saboteur. Not to mention she had been injured, which slowed her down more than she wanted. Finally stopping where she believed was safe, she tried to heal herself, curing internally how stupid she was for getting hurt.
"Shit…" Hinata whispered.
"its okay Hinata, it's not too bad of a wound… I'll try and focus of it a little more." Mogi spoke.
"Thanks Mogi." Hinata answered back. "I just need to get to Sunagakure; I can get some help there."
Before Hinata could try and stand, she heard footsteps behind her, causing her to quickly look at the person who stood behind her.
"Thought I wouldn't find you?"
Hinata shot up pulling her kunai from its case. "I was hoping." She frowned.
"Well, when you leave a bloody trail, it's very easy, and like I told you before, I can find anyone I have injured." He came closer. "You're no much for me now; you're nearly drained of chakra, so why don't you just fall over, save me the trouble of damaging that pretty little body."
"Uh, puppeteers…." Mogi shuddered.
The man pulled a puppet from his large backpack that was on his back. "I guess you want to do this the hard way huh?"
Mogi…. I can't face him… Hinata thought gripping her Kunai tightly, waiting for him to attack.
The man threw the puppet towards Hinata, causing Hinata to jump up, to dodge it. Doing a back flip, she landed further away from the man. Once her foot touched the ground, she launched herself towards the puppet, throwing an explosion tag on it. She jumped over the puppet, as the tag ignited, and fell feet first towards the man, kicking him in the face.
With the tag exploding, and the man on the ground, Hinata tried to make her escape, but couldn't move. Looking back Hinata saw the man standing behind her, plunging a Kunai into her shoulder left shoulder. Fear ran through her body, as she watched him pull out the blade.
Mogi? She panicked afraid the mask had been broken. Before she could try and run, she felt another sharp pain on the center of her back, as the man stabbed her once again, dragging it slowly down her spine.
"Hinata! Hold on okay!" Mogi shouted frantically.
Hinata tried taking a step forward, but only felt another stab that dragged across her back. Finally giving away to the pain, Hinata cried out, as she fell to the ground.
MASTER! Hinata is in trouble…
Hinata tried crawling away, only to feel the man's foot crashing down on her back. "Where do you think you're going?" He smirked, stomping down once again. "I told you." He smiled. "You're going to make a wonderful puppet."Smirking at the girl the man picked up her Kunai and drug it down her black, ripping open her jacket, and mesh shirt. He smiled as he looked at all the cuts, and bruises he left on her. "Nothing a little wax can't fix." He smirked. "Hmmm, What's this?" He moved a piece of material from a bump at the top of her shoulder. His eyes shot open as he saw a small blue mask with blood red eyes staring back at him. Soon, Hinata's back began to bubble like another human was trapped within her skin. The mask grew bigger, as all the movement moved towards the mask.
The mask lifted from Hinata's back, followed by two large black arms, and soon, a whole body made its way out of the petite girl's body. It stood above the man, letting out a loud screeching noise. Before the man could attempt to move, the creature grabbed him, and threw him in the air, jumping up with him, the creature used a combination of the wind, and Hinata's chakra, to create a tornado, that also acted as Hinata's Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms.
"Mogi, enough!"
Mogi stopped, letting the man fall from the sky, the creature landed right next to Hinata, hunching over her as if it were protecting her.
The man opened his eyes to meet the furious neon green eyes, of a shadow. "He is mine…." The shadow spoke. "Go back, and help keep her alive…."
The creature gave a nod, and stood on Hinata's back, letting itself melt back into her skin. Hinata slowly opened her eyes as Mogi entered her body, to see a black cloak standing over the man.
"You will pay…" Was all she heard… She tried to see who the shadow was, but it was all becoming blurry… She knew she had heard that voice before, but couldn't place it..
Mogi….
"Don't worry Hinata; my master will take care of him."
Y-Your m-master?
Hinata could only hear a blood curling scream, and soon nothing… Darkness surrounded her…
"We will meet again soon…"
Hinata's eyes opened slightly, all she could see was a grey tank top, then nothing…. Another shot of vision came to her, and she saw green eyes….
Mogi…
"Don't worry…. It is my master…. He has finally come for you."
Kakuzu looked down at the girl he carried in his arm, and for a brief second, a smile grazed her lips… It had been many, many years since Kakuzu saw someone smile like that…
"Master, she is stable…. But you must attend to her wounds soon…"
"I know." Kakuzu whispered.
"Master…. What will you do with her?"
Kakuzu kept his eyes on the girl… There was a reason her heart reached out to him, and if anything, now would be the best time to explore why. "I don't know…" Was all he could say. "But I can say thins much, Pain is not going to like this…" he stopped, pushing her hair from her face. "Hinata... Are you my prayers answered?" He whispered. "If so, i believe that maybe... Maybe i wasn't meant to be alone..."
