I do not own Naruto. Important info at the bottom.

It wasn't until after she had sat back down that she realized that for some reason some reason, that close up his face reminded her of somebody. but who? After lunch Naruto rushed her to her next class without looking at her and she realized for some strange reason nobody noticed her and Sasuke's kiss. She learned that they had six classes a day, not including lunch, and thankfully Sasuke was only in her 1st period. With good reason she tried to aviod the rather, possesive, Uchiha. Plus whenever she was around him her heart sped up for no reason and she got a funny feeling. She would have to research it.

"So..."

Naruto had tried to start up a conversation, and just like the time he had taken her back home they were enveloped in a arkward silence. They had to walk to Naruto's apartment and she had time to actually look at the building that surrounded her. One in particular caught her eye. It was a skyscraper and it seemed oddly familier, and it pulled her to it.

"U-um, N-naruto c-can y-you tell me w-where t-the l-l-library is?"

She wasn't going to actually go, but it would be a good excuse for him to leave her. After all he still had to get to his job.

"Sure. Do you think that you can stay there by yourself?"

She nodded hurridly and he scrawled the directions on a piece of paper. She waited until he was simply a small speck before walking into the building. And she was back at the park. Well not literally of course, but the feeling, or the sense that she didn't belong was there. Everybody was in business suits, while she was in a simple school uniform. She was paralyzed as she thought

'Why am I here?'

She turned around to leave only to slam herself into somebody's chest. She started bowing and saying

"S-sorry. S-s-sorry. I-i d-didn't m-mean t-to."

She finally stopped only because her voice was getting hoarse again. She looked at the figure and noticed that he was wearing a mask.

"You're not dressed right. That's not good. You're gonna get in trouble. But Tobi won't. Tobi is a good boy!"

She was taken aback by his bahavior.

"U-um, T-tobi-chan, can you g-give me t-the right c-clothes?"

She felt terrible for using him, but something about this place jarred her memory and she knew she would never find out what unless she went deeper. Which she couldn't do without trying to fit in. Tobi brightened considerably and jumped up and down.

"Tobi will make you look good! And then Tobi will be a even gooder boy!"

She smiled as best she could as Tobi dragged her to a random elevator.

Ten minutes later she had her hair in a tight bun, light make-up on, and was wearing a full business suit. As she stood in front of the mirror she heard somebody knock on the door of the office Tobi had took her to. Though he still was wearing that dumb mask she could tell that he was scared or freaked or maybe he was both. He shoved her into a closet along with her school uniform.

"Be a good girl and stay quiet. Or else you will be hurt very bad."

She understood instantly, and though he closed the door as hard as he could without it being too loud it was still open a crack. In the middle of her starting to close it all the way she saw another person come in. He was fit, tall, probably 6'4", had silver hair that was slicked back, had a strange necklace on, and like everything else about this building made her think she recognized him. While these features were strange, yet attractive, his eyes were what drew Hinata in. They were violet and seemed to draw her in and scare her away at the same time. Of course they were probably just scary because he was glaring poor Tobi to death.

"Tobi! What the fuck did you do with her clothes?"

Tobi remained happy-go-lucky as he replied

"What clothes? Tobi is a good boy! He didn't steal anything!"

Hinata for some reason almost slammed her hand to her forehead before remembering she had to be quiet. But it was to late, she had been discovered.

"What the fuck are you doing here?"

Of course, it just HAD to be him. The one monster that had actually talked to her, who had told her that there was a world outside of those dark rooms, and the only one who ever comforted her.

"H-hidan?"

She sputtered out.

He got on his knees and fingered her hair.

"What happened?"

Hinata brightened instantly

"I cut my hair! For some reason it made me feel so much freer! Oh...Do y-you n-n-not like i-it?"

Shocked she realised that she had only stuttered when she asked the question. He leaned his head againest her shoulder.

"You fucking idiot. I love it. But why did you have to fucking back?"

He didn't want her here. Though she had no idea why she felt tears falling down her face. Realizing what he had said he stumbled to clear what he meant.

"Don't you realize where you are?"

He stood to his full hieght and loomed over me, his eyes pleading for me to remember. And it suddenly clicked together, the nagging sense that she should remember all of this, how she had recognized somethings, and the sense of doom that surrounded her no matter Hinata had willingly gone back to the Hell of Hells. Sensing that I had realized he grabbed my hand.

"Tobi, if you're a good boy you'll stay fucking quiet about the pretty girl."

Tobi jumped up and down.

"Tobi will be quiet! Tobi is a good boy!"

Hidan patted him on the head mockingly and lead Hinata to a different elevator than Tobi had.

"Um, Hidan?"

"What?"

He growled without looking at her.

"Have you ever kissed somebody?"

She wondered because everybody in her class had teased her and Naruto about it but nobody had seemed to shocked. He stared at her horrified.

"Where did you learn about kissing?"

She noticed that he avoided answering, but shrugged it off.

"Naruto...He kissed me twice, Sasuke kissed me too."

For some strange reason she felt it would be better to not tell Hidan about the feelings she got from the kisses.

"Have they tried anything else? Like to take your clothes off? Or get you naked?"

She looked at him strangly. Naruto had seen her in a towel but it had been an accident and he didn't seem to notice. When she told Hidan this he got all mad and started fuming silently. Hinata took advantage of the moment to look around she had unconsiously lead them towards the apartment. As she turned the key to unlock the door Hidan turned her face towards his.

"Listen, Don't let any guy see you naked unless you are married. Got it?"

Though she didn't understand it since Hidan was as close to a, what was it called?, oh yeah, a father, she nodded understanding. She would do anything that Hidan wanted her to, she trusted him, though she knew she probably shouldn't. He ruffled her hair like he did to Tobi, only more affectionatly and handed her his necklace. She tried to give it back to him only to have him push it away.

"B-but."

She protested.

"Good-bye Hinata."

After she closed the door she felt tears streaming down her face, because she knew that this was the last time she would probably ever see him alive. She put the necklace on and gripped the token on it.

Hidan headed back to Akatsuki Corp. grimly. He knew what would happen for protecting her. As he sat down in his chair he heard a man walk in. He looked up calmly.

"Uchiha, Itachi."

And those were his last words before he felt a bullet go through his head.

Hinata felt something rip inside her. Like somebody had cut out a part of her heart and thrown it away. And she realized that without a doubt that now the only family she had ever had was dead. She couldn't tell you how she knew, but she did and it made her feel more lonely than ever. She started crying out of frustration that she didn't do anything to help him, out of sadness that he was dead, out of regret that she couldn't do ANYTHING. And for once she didn't hold anything back. After sobbing for what seemed like hours she turned on the news to see how many people knew.

Naruto Uzamaki was exhausted. Tsunade had made him do a double-shift and he didn't even get one. He knew that was illegal somewhere, but was to tired to even complain. And he had to face Hinata when he got home. Ugh. He had decided to tell her that they couldn't kiss again, because it would definatly hurt his chances of getting Sakura. Ugh. As he opened the door he heard the TV on. Silently he went to see what she was watching. The news. Ew. But he noticed her eyes. They were red and puffy, she had obviously been crying and from the looks of it, for a very long time. Turning his focus to the TV he heard the achorman say

"Tonight at 12. Hidan Jashin( A/N it was the only thing I could think of for his last name!) was murdered in his own office. What did he do to deserve a punishment as bad as death? Who was the killer? What are the police doing to find the killer?"

"Serves him right."

Naruto smirked after saying that. Every bastard who hurt Hinata deserved to die.

"What did you just say?"

The malice in Hinata's voice was unnoticable and the only thing Naruto noticed was that she hadn't stuttered.

"He deserved to di-"

She slapped him so hard it would probably leave a bruise.

"Don't y-you dare s-say that...y-y-you...you...bastard!"

Naruto was dumbstruck. Why was she protecting a man that hurt her? Why had she been crying? These questions and more swam throughout his mind as she went to her room to go to sleep.

Yes I know that Hidan is supposed to be a major hard$$, but it was just to tempting to make him have a soft spot, even though he had to die for it. And yes I know that he doesn't have a last name and it is most certainly not Jashin, but he had to have one and that was the only I coulld come up with.
