Hinata wandered through the woods trying to take her mind off of everything that had just taken place. She saw a shadow pass from one tree to another and knew that it wasn't her shadow.

She pulled out a kunai in case of an attack and activated her Byuakugan. She saw the shadow pass by again but it was to quick.

Hinata swore she heard a sinister laugh come from the tree behind and she spun around. "Who's there?!" Another laugh.

"Hinata...I've been watching you for quite a while now..."

Once again, she saw the same shadow...and that voice, it sounded so familiar. Hinata searched her thoughts to see where she had heard that voice.

"No it can't be...that voice...it's from my dreams..."

Orochimaru emerged from a tree. "Don't you wish you had more power?"

Hinata didn't answer. She was in a state of shock and her Byuakugan deactivated itself. Orochimaru chuckled to himself.. "Don't be alarmed. I'm here to help you...that is if you chose-"

"What th hell do you really want?" Hinata said as she put up her gaurd.

"You hate them don't you...you want to kill them all, right?...well, I can give you that power. The catch is you'll be away from everyone for a long time." Orochimaru knew he got Hinata with the last part of his sentence.

"I don't care if I'm away..." She thought of Sasuke for a moment. "But..if it makes me stronger, I'm in." Hinata lowered her kunai and put it back in her weapon pack.

"Excellent...if you need time to get your stuff ready then I'll meet you here in the morning...say...at sunrise?"

"Fine..." Hinata left to get herself packed and ready.

At Hyuuga Complex

Hinata was packing the necessities when Hanabi and her father came in. Hanabi was behind her father fearing another outburst from Hinata.

"What do you think you are doing?" Hiashi asked sternly.

"Why would you care? You never cared about anyone except for that cowering brat right there and yourself." Hinata didn't even look up at them.

"How dare you say that! Of course I care about more people than you realize!"

Hinata closed her pack and looked up at her father. "Name three more people."

"Your mother."

"And..." Hinata smirked when Hiashi couldn't name any more people. "My point exactly." Hinata headed for the door but Hiashi blocked the exit.

"You're not leaving, Hinata."

"You just want me to stay here so you can always have someone to scold so much. You think Hanabi is so damn perfect. If you don't care about me then you will get the hell out of my way."

Hiashi didn't bother in telling Hinata that he really did care about her because he knew that she wouldn't believe him. "Hinata...please..." Hanabi begged from behind her father.

"No! I'm sick and tired of all of you. Treating me like I'm nothing...I don't care what you think...I'm going to train with Orochimaru." Hinata stepped closer to the doorway in which Hiashi was blocking.

"You can't go with him. He will only use you and try to get the Byuakugan!" Hiashi exclaimed. "So...at least he'll make me stronger...nothing you say or do will stop me from going with him, NOW MOVE!!" She pushed Hiashi and Hanabi with such force that they landed on the opposite side of the room as Hinata sped off to meet Orochimaru at the planned spot and time.

At the Planned Spot

Orochimaru was waithing with his right hand man, Kabuto. "You came a little later than I thought." He said with his evil smile.

"I was held back by some people." The way she said her last word was practically dripping with disdain. "Are you ready to go now or do you want to take one last look at this place." Orochimaru asked.

"No, let's leave right now." Hinata said glaring at the Hyuuga complex. Orochimaru chuckled to himself. "Very well." Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Hinata sped off to their destinataion.

I am so sorry it took me so long to update and it's such a short chapter but with school starting it's been pretty hectic lately and I don't have that much time to update anymore. However, I promise that I'll have the next chapter up by Saturday at the latest.

Also, I'm getting a case of writer's block, so if you could suggest something, it'll be greatly appreciated. Thanks and tune in next chapter!
