Hey thanks for all the reviews and support! I plan on having this story going so I'll try to update every day or two. I'm just afraid of writer's block and ending it, no idea how to end this one, so far it's all just being playing out from the top of my head. Hope you are all enjoying it!~TFD

I was running through, not turning back to the sound of all the yelling of anger from Sasori. I didn't want to go back. I have no idea where I'm going or what is going to happen if or when I get caught. I focused all of my chakra to my feet in order to run faster. Tears still burnt my eyes as I ran through hallways and hallways. I started to feel extremely tired and I noticed I had left whoever all was chasing me in the dust. I turned to look for a place to hide or maybe if I were lucky, an exit.

I kept running for a place that they would least expect, despite the pain shooting through my legs. I turned through a hallway I never noticed before and kept running straight through. It was pitch black in the hallway until I seen a light. I felt anxiety creeping up on me when I heard more yelling behind me. I ran faster than I ever thought I could even with my chakra's help.

I noticed that the light was coming from the crack under a door so I slammed it open nearly knocking it off its hinges. I cried out when I heard a 'zip' go past my head, a kunai. I dashed out into the light. I was outside finally; I felt loads of adrenaline pumping through me. I no longer felt the pain in my sore legs. I kept running and didn't stop.

"Hinata come back, un! You're going to regret it, yeah!" I heard the familiar voice of Deidara. "I can't!" I screamed as loud as my throat could handle, I felt I needed to at least respond to him; he had been my only real friend there. I felt my gut twist in knots. I needed to get out of this area and fast. Someway, somehow.

I felt completely oblivious to the world around me; I had no idea where I was. I felt hopeless, but this was my chance and I was damn well going to take it. I found my way into the thick forest; I was jumping limb to limb. I heard the faint sound of footsteps on limbs and limbs breaking and creaking.

I got a flashback of what happened last time and began winding through the trees and turning at random directions so they couldn't hit me for running straight on. I ran another direction of my actual goal and shed my jacket and ran back to my original destination after twisting and turning in different directions. That'd probably buy me about 6 minutes. The more time the better, I surely wasn't complaining.

I suddenly got distracted by the smell of the outside world. It was nice to smell and feel the air around me again; I never thought I'd miss it like I did. I strangely kept my pace even as I was enjoying the taste of freedom. The wind felt especially great on my tearstained face, I could feel the trails of where my tears had dried out, and that also had felt nice to me.

Suddenly I came across a trail. I chose to go to the left but also avoid the path; I wouldn't want to be running into the clearing. I wish I had known where they were again; I couldn't risk the energy and chakra on my byakugan at the moment.

Soon my thoughts were interrupted by a 'thud' hitting a nearby tree. I glanced over in horror as I seen it had a paper bomb attached. I ran to the far right away from the bomb and opposite direction of the trail. I heard it explode from behind me. I turned to look; the tree was blown to bits.

"Last chance!" I heard another familiar voice yell out, calm but stern. I panicked, it was Sasori; his voice had come from above me? I glanced up to meet his eyes, he was on this large…white bird, with Deidara There was something in Deidara's hand flapping in the wind, my jacket. It had worked; I smirked feeling proud of myself again.

Eventually, I ended up in another clearing, a far stretched one; I looked down from end to end of the clearing, far ahead it looked as if the land had broken. This had not stopped me from running forward though. When I reached the broken section of land I found that it was a cliff leading into a long and rough river, it wasn't exactly a short drop.

'Thud' I averted my eyes from the river jerking my head around to face Sasori. "Trapped." He said with a smirk. I felt anger rise within me. "N-not quite…" I muttered loud enough for him to hear me. I looked up and noticed Deidara still flying above us. Sasori squinted his eyes at me slightly.

I grinned a little as I turned around and dashed towards the edge. "N-no! Stop!" I heard Sasori yell. I ignored his yells as I held my breath and closed my eyes. I jumped. "Deidara!" I heard Sasori shout out. I opened my eyes looking dead forward at the moving images of rocks, dirt, and trapped limbs. The wind was whipping against my face and arms.

I was falling upside down. I looked towards the sky to see Deidara flying towards me as fast as the bird could take him. There are times like these that I wish that I was heavier so I could fall faster. He wasn't exactly catching up; he had a frustrated look on his face and his arms a little extended, I felt a little guilty for putting him through Hell so far

I closed my eyes again. It felt like I had been falling for 5 minutes, but there was no way this drop was that deep. I looked to see if Deidara had gotten closer; the length between us wasn't very long, he was about 20 feet away from me. I started to panic; I didn't want him to catch me, I didn't want to live out my life as nothing but an assistant without true purpose.

Unexpectedly I hit with a crash and was tossed upon broken logs and rocks. He hadn't caught me, I escaped. Despite getting cuts on my arms and legs, also having an aching body from the impact; I was smiling, it had all paid off. "We will find and you and you will DIE." I heard a voice echo in my head. Leader…

I got knocked out of my thoughts by getting more bruises and cuts by the rushing river. I held my breath for as long as I could manage since the crash. I came up needing air desperately. I took a few glances around, I saw no one even though my vision was a little blurry from the water. I kept my head above the water until I seen a flat surface appearing, I slung myself over to catch on to the ledge above the water. I climbed up slipping from mud formation of my wet shoes and the dirt of the ledge.

I held myself on top of the little platform as the river crashed against the edges of the ledge and on to me. I started feeling tears of joy shed their way through. I had made it out, heh, stupid Akatsuki… I still felt very paranoid, what if they were tracing the river for me? They'd surely find me. I shuddered at the thought of the torment they'd put me through if they actually got to me again.

I curled up and started to sob a little. I was lost, hungry, tired, scared, and waterlogged on top of that. What if they do find me? Will they kill me? Will I ever get home? All of those questions pondered my mind. All of a sudden my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of small pebbles and dirt falling from above me. I started shivering as I looked up slowly.

The first thing I seen was blonde hair, followed by a blue eye and black cloak. "D-D-De…" Was all I could choke out. "Shhhh…" He whispered. He dropped down next to me quietly. "Don't want Sasori hearing us do you, un?" He whispered to me. I shook my head quickly. He let out a quietly laugh at my reaction to his question.

"Why did you do this, un? You made this into a horrible disaster, yeah…" he muttered out. "I got scared… I don't belong with the Akatsuki… I have too much to live for back at home." I stated sadly. He let out a heavy sigh as he let his body slump down next to mine. "This is a mess, and Leader might kill all three of us, yeah…" He mumbled. "I'm sorry…" I muttered back.

He turned to me a little and started picking dirt, leaves, and twigs from my hair. I returned the favor by batting the dirk out of his bangs. He unexpectedly pulled me into a hug, it felt warm and comforting. I felt my heart flutter, it was a strange feeling. "W-…where is he?" I whispered in his ear. "He went beyond this point, I don't know how he missed you." He whispered back.

I shivered at the feeling of his hot breath against my ear. I felt my heart pound against my chest; I leant forward giving him a peck on the cheek. He returned the kiss on my cheek; I felt his lips twist into a smile. He hugged me tighter and then pulled me into his lap. My cheeks turned a light pink.

"Heh, even with grime and dirt all over you, you still look pretty, yeah." He muttered in my ear making my face turn a darker shade of pink. I felt him slide his hand on my neck; he leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I let out a gasp as I felt the mouth on his hand begin to nibble and lick my neck. I felt him smirk against my lips as he deepened the kiss.

I kissed him back and ran my fingers through the hair the fail on the back of his neck. Then moved it to the top of his ponytail and started twisting a few strands of hair in between my fingers. All of a sudden I felt loose dirt hit the top of my hand. I took my hand down and he pulled back giving me a questioning look.

I glanced up followed by his gaze, I felt horrified at the sight of Sasori standing about 15 feet from us on top of the ledge. I felt that Deidara was nervous too. Sasori's stare was burning into my pale, lavender eyes. I felt shivers run up and down my spine. "Busted…" Deidara muttered under his breath.
