Sleep was ripped away from me as I was shaken awake violently.

"Wake up Hinata-chan, they're coming fast." Sasuke-kun is whispering in my ear gently but his breath is harsh against the coolness of the morning chill.

I take a look in his dark eyes and I see his anxiety that we were in danger. I jump up and dress quickly as he leaves the room to keep watch and most likely warn Yori-chan and Saya-chan. I leave the room to see mother and daughter huddled in a corner facing away from the front door. I nod toward the back door sensing there is no one out there to cause harm to them. They quietly scuttle away from the house toward some where they would be safe away from what ever mess is awaiting outside the front door.

" Sasuke Uchiha this is the last place we expected to find you. You have been a very hard person to find and now you so graciously appeared in front of us. I assume you are the one behind the incident at the dock three weeks ago then?" The voice came from outside and it gave me chills.

It had a velvety wickedness all packed into every word that made me take a step back from where it came from.

"Kazuko-teme aren't you dead yet? I thought I killed you last time we fought but I guess you couldn't get enough of me kicking your ass." Sasuke's voice held menace and no trace of indifference I had known him for.

" You'll find I'm very hard to kill my dear Uchiha. Of course I would come to find you Uchiha, who has the last remaining kekkei genkai in this world. Besides I'm not exactly alone am I? You see I brought reinforcements this time so it will be an easy victory for me." The smugness in his voice made me cringe with annoyance.

It was blind annoyance that made me walk toward the front door, open it up and slam it shut so all the people in the front yard were looking straight at me.

"See that's were you're wrong. First of all he is not alone and second he isn't the only one with tekkei genkai and lastly it is definitely not going to be easy." I smirked at the startled man who obviously was not use to being so.

"Who the hell are you? The sensors never picked up another shin obi right Daiki-kun?" He seemed to blame the man on his left who looked like he could pick Kazuko up and snap him like a twig.

"The sensors haven't been working since we entered this sector Kazuko-sama." He paid no attention to us as though we were not any threat to him.

He came toward me and Sasuke started to shift closer to cut him off. I stepped forward off the porch to meet them but as I did so there was a blast of power. We all stopped in our places to stare at the samurai's weapons that were glowing as they pointed them at me. Kazuko-san and Daiki-san stared at me and took a step closer toward me as the power force and the glowing got stronger.

"It seems your friend is as interesting as you are Uchiha. Tell my dear what is your name? I had thought we were aware of all living shin obi." I could see the light of interest in Kazuko-san's eyes and it made my skin crawl.

"Hinata Hyuuga." Kazuko whipped his head in Daiki's direction while Sasuke transported in front of me to successfully block me out of sight from them.

"Impossible Daiki-kun. Why would you come to that conclusion when there could be so many more logical theories?" Daiki was looking at me as I stepped around Sasuke to look at them.

"Those eyes. She is demon tainted." What he said scared me but I don't know why exactly.

All I knew is I haven't felt this much fear since my exile from my former clan. My body wasn't working and my brain was over working so it resulted in me turning into a statue. Luckily Sasuke picked up my slack and took no time attacking the stranger that seemed to see too much of me. It was chaos then but as a shin obi I was conditioned for it. The other samurai were easy pickings for me since they had no clue that I could kill them with a thrust to their thin chakra systems. I tried to ignore Kazuko's invading eyes and focus on my enemies but it was hopeless. I even prolonged finishing off the last of the hunters to avoid facing that man. I took a deep breath and ended it with the last hunter. I turned around to hear clapping but I didn't need to see in order to know who it was.

"Amazing my dear Hyuuga! In all my life I never thought I would be able to witness the power that managed to seal the great nine Bijuu away. I can imagine how the council will reward me when I bring them

The legendary Hinata Hyuuga. The respect and praise I would get from my fellow hunters. Hunters that thought so little of me will worship me and I will be the top hunter." Kazuko was clearly insane and I was clearly in trouble.

He raised his sword that was glowing a sinister orange and pointed it at me. I knew that glow and I knew that his sword held the largest portion of a demons chakra then I had ever encountered. I let him get closer to me but his hand jerked and the sword shot out at me so fast I didn't have time to dodge it. It threw me across the yard and down the bank into the shallows of the river. I sucked in a severely painful breath as I rolled out of the way from a tree that landed too close for comfort.

"Hyuuga-chan where did you go?" His voice floated over from the bank.

There was the tree he had thrown separating his eyes from me and for that I was thankful. I closed my eyes like it would help with the unbelievable pain I was experiencing. I turned on my eyes to see Sasuke still fighting with Daiki who seemed to be giving him some trouble. Obviously I am on my own for the moment and in the condition I was in it was not a good thing. I used a healing jutsu that would at least stop me from bleeding out. I used my arm bandages to wrap the ripped hole in my abdomen but the only thing that would be helpful was to get out of this scrape I'm in.

I checked my chakra supplies and found I had enough for one big jutsu but after that I was screwed.

Holy crap i have not written anything in for ever! i am a little rusty so go easy on me.
