Chapter 3: Hinata's Escape

Hinata's eyes slowly opened.

She couldn't remember where she was. And her stomach felt painful.

She remembered that punch. There was a big guy who punched her right in the stomach, making her dizzy with pain, but she couldn't scream. There was something covering her mouth. Oh yeah, it was this black goo thing. It was still over her mouth. She remembered two bony fingers wrapping rope tightly around her wrists. Too tight for her to do anything. She couldn't call for help.

However, she did remember Neji standing beside her. They were both stuck by the same black slime.

Now she remembered everything. She woke up in the middle of the night to find two really tall men standing in her room. She got ready in a battle stance, but then they started arguing. That was when Neji came in.

Neji was helping me escape, she thought. While I did nothing but get captured.

She wasn't going down like this. She looked around her (slowly so her captors wouldn't know she's awake) and saw that it was still night. The sky seemed closer than usual. She looked down.

They were way up in the air. Standing on... something. At first she got scared as she thought they were falling, but saw that the trees below her weren't getting any closer. They were just moving past her.

That's when she found out that she was being carried over one's shoulder, the big guy's shoulder. Her fear turned into anger. She can't get captured this easily!

Hinata raised her still tied hands in the air, with fists as tight as she can make it. Then as hard is she could, brought them down on the man's back. If she could smile under the black goo, she would have.

The man jolted as he felt a somewhat painful punch on his back. He lifted the Hyuga Heiress off his back and made her face him to see if she was the one who did it. Sure enough the heiress was wide awake with eyes full of anger, her white eyes were turning a slight shade of red.

"Hey Kiro," the big one said, "she's awake."

"Well then, put her back to sleep!" Kiro was angry at Jug for yelling at him earlier. The big doofus knew he was sensitive!

Jug was thinking of another way to put her to sleep without her waking up for a long time. He decided killing her was out of the question.

Hinata took this pausing moment to raise one of her foot back...and swing it full force between the big one's open legs.

Jug didn't say anything, but his eyes were bulging, his face was red, and the sound that was trying to escape was stuck in his throat. Suddenly, he dropped Hinata.

Hinata, panicking, closed her eyes, only to find herlself on something solid. Turns out the platform was solid, but invisible.

A piercing sound cut through the night. Jug screamed as loud as he could, letting all that sound that was stuck, out.

Kiro turned around to see a red-faced Jug and a Hyuga Heiress on the wind platform. Hinata felt Kiro's eyes on her, and without thinking...jumped. Right off the platform.

She didn't really jump, jump. She just kind of dove off the platform.

Hinata felt the wind stinging her face. Her eyes were half closed, but she could see the dark outline of trees quickly coming. She wanted to slow down but she didn't know how. Finally she just decided for luck to play its situation. She closed her eyes and tried her best to cover her face with her arms. It turned out that luck wanted her to live, because Hinata felt a cushion of leaves. She opened her eyes and found herself softly bouncing on trampoline like brances piled with leaves. She didn't have time to thank Luck as she soon saw the two men recovering. They were already hovering lower, and fast too.

Still with her hands tied (A/N: I keep referring back to this. I think it's because I want to remind myself she's tied), she scrambled down the tree. She activated her Byakugan to look for a good spot to find. She found the perfect place. Two trees were standing next to each other with its swirling branches wrapping around each other. It was like a maze of branches; it would be hard for the big one to get through, but maybe the thin one could fit. Anyway, she didn't think about that now. She tried to get to those trees, where, with her Byakugan, she can see a little opening that the normal eye wouldn't see. Well, not at night when it's this dark. Hinata had a hard time because she kept on stepping on something hard with her bare feet that would make her wince.

At last she got to the trees with the twisty brances. She looked at the wall of thick twigs...and went to the left. The left big tree had a little hole where she can crawl in and stay until the two men left. She thought that they would think she went through those twisty branches. So before she entered her hole in the tree, she went all the way to near the right tree and broke a hole through with all her might.

There. Now they'll think I went through here. I hope, she congratulated herself. Then she went to her hole, covered it with a giant tree bark she found, and waited all night for her kidnappers to come.

"I'm telling you, Jug, she went that way!" Kiro pointed to the left.

"Hey, I'm the one who was painfully hurt; I want to capture her! I'm saying she went that way!" Jug pointed to the right.

Jug and Kiro were under the trampoline-like branches Hinata had landed on earlier, but they didn't see that. They just assumed she landed somewhere near , lying dead. But when they didn't find her dead body, they started arguing again about which way the heiress went. Fortunately, the directions they were pointing to were neither of the way Hinata took.

"But the village we took her from was that way, so I'm sure she must have gone that way!" Kiro pointed to the left again.

"It's dark out here! Even with the Byakugan, she wouldn't know where to go!" However, Jug knew his partner was right.

Kiro saw it in his companion's face, too. He had won the argument this time. They marched off to the direction of the Konoha Leaf Village.

Please Review!

To P5yCH0: To tell you the truth, I've never read or watched Spiderman. Okay, I have seen the 2nd one with Dr. Octopus, but not the first or third.
I didn't even think of Spiderman!
I actually got the idea from myself, but it was just a joke. I wasn't even thinking of making the goo alive until I watched this episode from a show that had black blobs.
Plus I wanted Neji to have a "friend" XD
