"So Sei told you his plan yet?" I nodded and he seemed surprised.
"You agreed?" I shrugged.
"there's no harm in gathering a few nin and making a nin village" He laughed.
"Oh that's not all. I'll let him tell you the rest." I was curious what he meant but I got distracted by the food. After dinner Shikamaru and I decided to play some Shoji and after awhile Temari put Takeshi down and came and joined us bringing Sei with her.
"so you haven't told Hinata your whole plan Sei." I chuckled as his eyes lit up and then brought out the rogue nin booklet.
"I have marked the nin I want." He handed me the book and all three looked at me. I opened and looked at the ones he wanted and the threw the book back at him.
"nope, try again." He frowned.
"Hinata! Shikamaru said you had bad blood between these guys cause they helped seal you but I'm ordering you to get over it!" My jaw dropped and Sei and I began a glare down, which I lost when his turned into a puppy dog look.
"No. I mean it. If you bring them here I will kill them myself." I stood up and stormed off coming to sit on the beach. Fall was here and I shivered at the cold air. A blanket fell on my shoulders and Sei sat down beside me.
"I asked that tiresome nara why you hated them so much but he said it wasn't his story to tell. He said to come ask you." Sei shifted uneasily.
"I will give any nins you want but please don't ask me for those nins Sei." I shivered as memories over came my vision. Sei got up and sat himself close to me.
"Hinata do you care about me or are you only here because of the contract." For once Sei seemed unsure of himself. I wrapped my arm around him and put the blanket around his shoulders. He stiffened and then relaxed.
"Sei when you freed me I only had thoughts about revenge and my own anger. Then you came along and changed those thoughts. My biggest fear is becoming lost in my demon and destroying everything in my path. Everyday you save me from that, you make me remember what it is to be human." I place a kiss on his forehead and I rest my cheek on top of his head.
"So you never want to see me hurt?" I sighed and answered him.
"If some one were to hurt you I would peel their skin off, cut of their limb and then I would rip out their organs and feed it to them." I smiled at the thought and Sei only laughed.
"Exactly, so imagine when I feel that way about you but I'm not powerful enough to do that yet. So the only thing I could do is surround you with powerful nin who could. You lost to Tenshi once, that lazy ass nin was even there last time so this time it has to be different. This time I have to make sure you won't be alone." The boy had a point.
"Why does it have to be those nins?" I whined. Sei rolled his eyes and got up.
"Why are you being so childish? Hinata sometimes we don't always know what's best for ourselves so other people have to step in like what I am doing. Do it." The seal on my buzzed and I sighed in defeat.
I swore under my breath and got up to summon a carrier hawk and wrote a message to Kisume.
"There done." He smiled and offered to go get some tea from hana. How the hell was I suppose to stay mad when he knew my weakness?
Every day for three months I had fallen in a routine, I meditate in the morning, change Takeshi's diaper and then feed him and then I make breakfast for Shikamaru, Temari and Sei. After that Sei and I take our mid day walk through the village and make sure everything is ok and then lunch at Hana's. After that I end up doing errands for Sei and Shikamaru who have a list that seems to never end. I stop for dinner and then in the evenings I play shoji with Shikamaru and we go over the town's progress but things changed one evening.
"More and more are coming to the village everyday. We made our mark with our tea and sake exports but I think we can do better then that." I said as I read over the financial report.
"A couple of villagers went and made another village or two, leaving this place to become a capital. So Sei is going to actually get to name something after all. What is a good a name for the capital of Death Island?" Temari asked while she played with Takeshi
"City of the bones?" I asked, we all laughed but Sei seemed to take it seriously.
"Hinata could you change some formations to look like bones?" I stopped laughing at the fact I just added another thing to my list.
"If that's what you want-" I was cut off with a scream.
"Tenshi!" I ran to see two rejects coming to shore so I shifted into my demon form and I easily killed them but then another four came and swarmed me but my fire burnt them off. I used the water to turn them into ice and then I shattered them. I looked for any more but I was alone. Well I wasn't alone considering the whole village was watching me. I shifted back and was walking up when Jiro-san yelled to look behind me.
"Got him, finish him off." Shikamaru had a rejects shadow so I turned and started to shift then decided against because it was just a small one but I was halfway through it when I changed my mind and just raked through it with my claws and killed it.
"Oh my god so cute!" Huh? I turned around to see the villagers looking me with hearts in their eyes.
"Hinata I didn't know you could do that. Shift between demon and human and I love the ears." I frowned and looked in the water and I started to freak.
"No one told me about the ears! I didn't agree to this! Damn you Ryoki!" I tried to push my damn cat ears down but they wouldn't disappear.
"Calm down and shift back." Shikamaru said between fits of laughter. I was so embarrassed I couldn't concentrate so I just stormed through the village to sulk in my room for the rest of the night.
"Hinata open the door, it's an order!" Sei yelled from the other side of my door. I sighed and got up to yank it open. He held his hand out and I glared at him but he only returned it. He rolled his eyes and took my hand to drag me out of the house. I tried to hide my ears and not look at anybody so I didn't realize he took me to Hana's tea shop.
"Sit." He ordered me.
"Tea please." He asked one of Hana's many granddaughter's. It was Hana herself who came to deliver it.
"Made this one this morning Sei-sama, Hinata-chan." The tea smelt amazing and I'm pretty sure I started to drool. Unfortunately I couldn't drink it because my hands were busy holding my ears down.
"Make a choice Hinata, cover your ears or drink a brand new tea especially made by Hana." The sneaky little bastard. I took a deep breath to calm myself but I only inhaled the sweet aroma of the tea in front of me.
"You enjoy my pain don't you?" I asked the smirking boy in front of me.
"What kind of demon master would I be if I didn't?" I let out a frustrated growl before letting my ears go and taking the cup of tea. My eye twitched as everyone was openly staring at me.
"Some how I don't think the nations are going to take us seriously when they see you with cute cat ears on your head." Sei chuckled. I childishly stuck my tongue out at him.
"That is why you have to learn control. He nodded at Hana who smiled and went into the kitchen. My ears twitched as I heard the noise of little running feet and happy squeals.
"I really hate you right now." I told Sei who only shrugged while picking up the tea.
I was tackled to the ground by seven little kids who were petting my ears and making ear splitting noises.
"no pulling." I said it threateningly but they did it anyway.
"I get it master. You can call them off." He only shook his head.
"The only way you are going to get rid of them is to pop those adorable little ears of your back into to your head." Bastard. I closed my eyes and tried to ignore my embarrassment. I took a deep breath in and out before I called my shift but instead of shifting forward I pulled back and then slowly opened my eyes.
"Wasn't so hard then ne?" The children groaned and got off of me.
"Ne I think my master needs a little cheering up so why don't you guys give him a big hug." The children then turned their sights on a scared looking sei. Sei then took off and the little children ran out after him.
"Are you sure Sei-sama like's hugs?" Hana asked as she poured me some more tea.
"Oh he hates when people touch him but what kind of demon would I be if I didn't torture my master once in awhile?" I smiled smugly at the old woman who laughed at our antics. I went home soon after to see that after running around town Sei had collapsed on the couch. I picked him up and gently as I possibly could and placed him in his room. I took off his shoes and socks and pulled the blanket over him. I smiled fondly at the sleeping boy and I placed a kiss on his head before leaving.
"Thank you master." I whispered as I closed the door.
"Your welcome." I heard his voice through the door. I smiled again a warm feeling wrapped around me. I went to bed feeling more peaceful then I have in a long time.
"Morning Hinata-chan I see your ears are gone." I nodded to the passing villagers who were going to work early. I drank my tea while playing with an wake Takeshi.
"So who's the lucky guy?" I looked up to Kisume grinning at me. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. He sighed and sat down.
"When you said you were on an island I didn't think you were on death island. You could have been more specific instead of leading me on a three month goose chase." I smirked and tickled a cooing Takeshi.
"So you and Shikamaru huh? Can't say I didn't see that coming. You two were abnormally close. The Uchiha's will be disappointed when I tell them. Though on the other hand I might enjoy it." Despite me being mad at him I chuckled.
"aha! made you laugh." I stopped laughing and glared at him but he just smiled.
"Nope can't take it back now, you laughed and now were friends again." I rolled my eyes at him but smiled anyway. I should feel anger but I was still filled with so much happiness.
"Whose this?" Sei came to inspect the new nin.
'Kisume and you are?" Sei narrowed his eyes and then remembered I had sent for him.
"Sei and I am the chief of the island. Hinata is my demon body guard and Shikamaru is my advisor. You will in charge of security Kisume. I reserved a couple houses beside me for important people so you can choose one." Kisume wanted to laugh in his face.
"Breakfast is on the table young master." He nodded and took Takeshi with him.
"Young master?" He looked between confused and amused.
"He was the one who broke the seal so I gave him three wishes, wish one was his own village." I stood up and took him into the forest.
"Nice redecorating hinata-chan." He shouted as he tried to slice a tree.
"Why didn't you tell them?" I asked. He stopped and sat down on a huge root that was like a bridge to the other side of the path.
"Itachi is my closest friend Hinata-chan I had to make sure of something's before I told them about you." He explained.
"Oh? Like what?"
"I wasn't sure that after what we did you wouldn't kill us. Seeing you here now you are so much more human then the last time I saw you." I nodded.
'When I first got out I wanted to kill you all but then Sei was there and I just put my revenge on the back burner till it just didn't matter anymore. I am still mad and hurt but I don't want to kill anyone anymore. I am happy here, I don't have to hide what I am and no one is hunting me. This is my home, and Sei is my master." He jumped down and faced me while putting his sword to his side.
"Alright give it your best shot." I looked at him weirdly.
"Look I know your still angry and still want to hurt me so I am going to give you a free shot." I smirked and let the demon power show in my eyes and I had to give some respect to Kisume who only grinned wider. I called chakra to my hand and I hit him with a force that sent him into a tree cracking it. He slumped down unconscious but still alive.
"Well that felt good." I laughed as I announced.
"Hinata-sama?" I turned to see some uncertain looking villagers.
"Oh don't worry about it. Were friends." The words just slipped out of my mouth like they were natural. I laughed to myself and I agreed with what I had just said.
"Remind me never to piss you off." I came out of my spacing out to see Kisume was slowly getting up.
"No problem." I helped him up and we started walking back to the village.
"So what's the plan Hinata-chan?" He asked while I smirked.
"This is it Kisume. I am home and I will kill anyone who tries to hurt this place." I told him seriously.
