I still felt his eyes boring into me even when Deidara closed the door. He walked me through the hallways and told me what room was what and who they belonged to, also told me who to avoid. A few of his words seemed to fade as I thought about what was happening. I needed to get out. Someway. Somehow.

An idea struck my mind and I took Deidara's hands in mine. "Please," I whispered to him, "I can't stay here, I have friends and family." I felt a cringe of guilt, I was using him. He stared at me with confusion and a hint of hopelessness. What he said after my pleading made my heart hurt and feel guilt even more. "We all did." He muttered out in sadness. My heart twisted with hurt, "I'm sorry." I muttered.

He hung his head a little, I felt something wet and warm drag along my hands. I panicked and snatched my hands away. I glanced up at Deidara, he had a look of embarrassment, while I had a look of confusion. Well at least it wasn't still sadness. What was that? I wiped my hands along my pants. "Sorry, un." He muttered.

I reached out and turned his palms upwards. He had mouths on his hands, it shocked me when he pulled his hands away from mine; it also made me feel guilty again. He had been nice to me and protected me from my sadistic captor. "Let's just go." He said sternly. I stepped after him, "I-I didn't m-mean to react that way." I stuttered again.

He flashed me a smile. "It's alright, yeah." He assured me. I gripped on to his cloak sleeve following him. "Thank you." I mumbled. "For?" He turned to look at me with an eyebrow raised. "Keeping me away from him for a while." He let out a light laugh. "What's so funny?" I asked while stopping in my tracks. "Awww come on, un. Don't be that way, yeah." I gave out a small laugh and kept following him.

He slung his arm around my neck and let it hang off my shoulder. My cheeks turned a light shade of pink. I looked up; he must have noticed my blush because he was smirking. This made my face turn a darker shade. I let out a sigh of defeat and he let out laughter. "Don't worry about it, yeah. You don't need to be shy around me, un." He said with another friendly grin on his face.

I just let out another sigh. If only he knew I was always shy. I can't help but feel at least a little nervous around him, he reminded me so much of Naruto. I felt myself slip into sadness once again. All of a sudden I felt something wet touch my cheek. I, of course, panicked and slammed into Deidara earning an 'umph' of surprise followed by more laughter, looked over to see it was the hand on his mouth that was the culprit. I gave him a sharp glare, "Hey hey, calm down I was just messing with you, yeah." He said, still trying to calm himself from his fits of laughter. 'Hmph!" I grunted and started walking away from him in a fast walk. "Heeeeey, un!" He shouted after me, I ignored him and kept walking.

After a few quick steps Deidara was at my side again holding a bit of small talk with me, mainly about what I liked and what I usually did in spare time, etc. "Hey, how about coming to meet the rest of us, un? Most of them should be in the living room or kitchen around this time, yeah." Did I really want to mess with the rest of the Akatsuki? I guess it couldn't hurt. "Come on, un. You don't have to talk to them, yeah." I gave a nod happy that I don't have to hold a conversation with any of them unless I wanted to of course.

Deidara wrapped an arm around mine and walked me through a few other hallways until we walked into a fairly large room. I looked at each of the faces. I noticed the one from earlier, Hidan, sitting down drinking alcohol. I seen Kakuzu as well, he acknowledged me by nodding at me slightly, I gave him a short bow. There was another extremely tall with blue skin and navy hair that stuck straight up, I smiled a little remembering Kakashi-sensei's gravity defying hair. One I noticed real easily, Itachi. He resembled Sasuke, except he had long black hair tied into a loose ponytail and his was a more dull color than Sasuke's raven hair. I also saw a certain redhead who we will not speak of.

I averted my eyes away from his whole area. I want nothing to do with him at the moment or ever. Unfortunately Deidara walked over and sat by his partner, leaving me standing there in front of everyone. I felt instantly embarrassed. I decided to walk over to where Kakuzu was, at least he was friendly towards me, not as warming as Deidara but he was still friendlier than the white and red head. I slumped down next to him; he stared at me as if he were confused. I returned the look; he shrugged and started sipping from an alcoholic drink.

I glanced around and noticed Hidan staring at me, he looked a little drunk. He made his way towards me and sat on the other side of me. He seemed to of been trying to hold a conversation with me, he was laughing at his own jokes that didn't even make sense. I scooted a little closer to Kakuzu then I noticed he was gone; I started to feel a strike of panic as Hidan tried to wrap his arm around me. I looked around for Deidara, he was gone from where he was sitting; Sasori wasn't paying me any mind. I felt an even more afraid as he started running his fingers through my long dark hair. I pushed his arm away standing up quickly.

"Hey bitch!" he shouted and grabbed for my arm. I let out a loud, short scream before he covered my mouth. 'Hidan." We both looked up noticing the puppet master standing in front of us. He had a glare that just seemed to scream 'death'. "What do YOU want, puppet-bitch?" Hidan spat out angrily. "Let go of MY girl." Sasori said calmly but sternly. Wait a sec. did he just say HIS girl? I felt a blush creep along my face. "YOUR girl? Heh! Sure kid, run along and play somewhere else." I could tell Sasori was losing his patience. They were both staring each other down. I was in the middle and feeling very nervous. This was one of those times that I wish I could just waste away and be dust in the wind. "Hidan! Let her go. Now." Said an anonymous voice. I glanced past Sasori and noticed a man with orange hair and multiple piercings on his face, his eyes were in spirals with many rings, and they were hypnotizing.

I got shoved to the ground and at Sasori's feet. I felt upset and ashamed to of been so weak. I felt my eyes start to burn with tears. "Urgh, the bitch isn't that hot anyways…" The white haired-man grumbled while standing up and walking to the hallway swaying with every few steps. I felt tears slip down my cheeks at his comment. I felt sturdy hands grip onto my shoulders. I kept my head directed at the floor as I let my tears fall to the ground.

It was more than likely Sasori's. I felt him hunching over me to lean down to my ear. "Ignore him, you're very pretty." He whispered. I felt my stomach twist with butterflies as my tears stopped only to be replaced with a red face. I wiped my tears away with my wrists. I felt strange as he helped me stand up, there was no way that this was the guy that murdered my teammate, kidnapped me, and stuck a bunch of needles in me.

"I apologize about him. If he pulls anything like that again I'll assure you harsh punishment will come his way." The orange haired-man said to me in a stoic voice. I nodded to him in understanding. Sasori's hand was still on my shoulder. I looked over at him through my hair; he seemed to be staring off at the man's direction. I too decided to give him my full attention.

"Was this the one?" He questioned. I looked at Sasori again. "Yes, Leader." He gave a small bow while replying. So this was the leader. I felt instantly afraid of him because of his dominant rank. "What's your name?" He asked looking straight at me; I'm guessing he was asking me. "H-Hyuuga Hinata." I muttered out. He stood there for a moment as if processing what I had just said. "Hyuuga? You possess the Byakugan then?" he questioned. I gave a quick nod. "Y-yes sir." I stuttered giving another bow.

"Nicely done Sasori, she could be a great attribute to the organization." He said in the same stoic voice. "You shall address me as Leader at all times," He turned his gaze to me again, "and if you are ever caught by outsiders you are not to give out information about us. I will find out, and you WILL die." He said in a stern voice, I could tell he was serious. I am an outsider though; I'll never be a part of this. I thought to myself.

I bowed again. "Y-yes Leader. I-I won't tell a-anything. I muttered. "Good. I'll see the both of you some other time then." He said as he turned to walk off down another mysterious doorway. I felt the grip on my shoulder lighten as I turned to face Sasori. "Come on." He commanded while placing his hand on my shoulder blade and shoving me towards the hallway Deidara and I had originally came from.

"Why did you do it?" I asked with my head to the ground. "What." Was all he muttered. "EVERYTHING!" I shouted. He turned to give me the same look he had given me before. Empty, bored, nothingness… "And stop with that look!" I shouted. He kept walking as if he were ignoring me.

"You killed my teammate," I felt fresher tears forming, "you injure me, you take me away from MY life when I finally actually wanted to keep it, and now you're being all nice to me! Make up your mind on what you want to do!" I stopped in my tracks and let my hair cover my face. He too had stopped and turned to me. I looked up to face him. His eyes had changed, it still showed the same laziness but it had a more curious look now. I let out a 'huff' and continued walking with him right beside me.

He grabbed my shoulder as I started to walk past his door. Oh no, was he making me stay with him? "You'll be staying in my room, since you're with me now." He muttered coolly. With him? What the hell does that mean? "What do you mean, 'belong to you'?" I questioned him before walking inside the room. He gave me another dull look. "You're my assistant now, and I surely am a higher rank than you." He said with a hint of pride. "Oh yeah? Why did you need Deidara to SAVE YOUR ASS when I attacked you? Hmmmm?" I spat out with a slight smirk.

He glared at me again. I sure am going to end up making my life hell here. This was going to be one hell of a night.
