sudden misfortune,
turns a rascal to knight.


Previously on chapter 6:

'TEET TEET.. TEET TEET..'

His hand phone message tone ringed, Sasori grabbed it and read the message while making sure he was sure of his track, he cursed and accelerated the van in higher speed.

"DAMN YOU! *bleep!*" he cursed.


Text message received from Anaconda:

*BOOM!*

Good Bye Sasori XD
oh! And thanks for the hard work! ; p


He flung his phone away out through the window, while muttering curses in anger. He finally understood that his boss had tricked him into doing something outrageous like this once again. He speeded up through the road way finding a safer place to stop. He knew the boss's slick underhanded moves and everything he does to wipe out evidences of his crime. Sasori knows that this wasn't an exception, he may have been an important person in the organisation but he still is a newbie. Using him to do something so dangerous he should've predicted this outcome.

As Sasori kept pondering in his mind in a sudden he was blinded by a blast of fire from few miles away the phone that he threw through the car window was blown into pieces. He watched in surprise and slightly shocked as one of the building caught in fire of the blast, the cars that passed by that blast were startled and gotten into an accident. Three to four vehicles bumped on each other back to back and caused a huge commotion. The police from the road block that was chasing after him got caught into it and Sasori managed to escape while they were being distracted.

"Shit!" Sasori muttered under his breath.

'Damn.. now they'd think that I am also involved in terrorism.. F**k you bastard!' Sasori gritted his teeth as he cursed.

"Ughh.." the woman that he tied at the back groaned in pain.

He noticed that she is was getting into consciousness, Sasori turned away as Hinata looked up at him, "your awake.. finally" he said.

"Wh-where.." she trailed as she found it hard to speak.

The man who kept driving said, "don't push yourself.. the sedative I inserted in you is strong, stay low so that it wont effect any of your systems..".

Hinata grimaced in pain as she tried to speak, her dry throat ached as she barely whispered, "..w.. water.."

The red haired 'somewhat' kidnapper halted the van after taking a long turn, he immediately stopped the van once he found a safe abandoned construction site. In his counting it has been 23 minutes after the blast of his cell phone. The man who knew his boss, 'the uncle's' viciousness he calculated the time and fund a safe spot to get away. Sasori got out of the driver seat and scrambled to Hinata's side at the back of the van. He pulled her leg and untied the ropes that he tied her up with. Slightly puzzled Hinata looked up at him in curiosity, he noticed her looking at him as he hurriedly untied her.

"what are you looking at? We have to hurry, help me!" Sasori said.

The startled woman pulled away from her stare and untied some of the ropes that were over her body that was tying her down to the van. He definitely did a good job tying her down to the van while she was unconscious but why is he struggling to untie those ropes by himself now? How trivial.. is he really a criminal? She started to question his motive as he hoisted her up over his shoulder as if she was a sack of rice.

"Gasp! Wha- wah!" Hinata who was startled protested against his shoulder.

The blushing Sasori warned her as he ran as far away as he could, "Hey, quit moving! Or else we'll fall and get hurt!".

"No! Lemme gho! Whaa!" she spoke with all her might as the sedative in her slowly was reducing in effecting her.

Sasori pulled the squirming girl into his arms and hugged her tightly and protectively. Her shouts and protests fell on deaf's ears as he pulled her face close to his. Hinata's breath caught in her throat in surprise when he pulled her closer to him, she blushed involuntarily as he stared down at her with a serious glare, and put his hand over her ears covering it. She looked at him in curiosity as he shut his eyes tightly.

'what.. on earth is he doing?' Hinata started to sweat heavily once she suspected that he was about to rape her?

'11.. 10..'

"I.. bhek.. youh.. pleash.. lemme go.. you! Bashtard! Arh!" Hinata started to cry shaking her head, thrashing at him.

'9.. 8..'

Sasori reopened his eyes and stared at her, "huh? What? You really want to die so much?".

'7.. 6..'

"Pleash.. dhon.. rape.." she cried.

'5.. 4..'

'wh? Now im a rapist too?' Sasori thought.

Sasori face palmed himself and pulled her into his chest, hugging her closely, " feh.. don't worry lady.. you're not my type.."

'3.. 2.. 1.. 0.. !' Sasori covered her ears as the bomb under the van burst into fire. He covered her ears so that she doesn't hear the loud blast, they saw as the van flew right up to the sky and flew down with the same speed crashing back down to earth with incredible gravity.

Hinata widened her eyes as she saw the blast and blinked in bewilderment at Sasori who scoffed in return. So he intended to save her? So she had misunderstood his behaviour? The impact had created a crater on the earth crust a bit but it wasn't serious to harm any of the old buildings surrounding them. The aloof criminal pushed her away and stood up patting his dusty butt. He walked to the van that was burning in the fire.

'if we didn't escape in time.. we would've been killed.. hmm, so you really intended to kill us all boss. Including the girl, so his motive was never to get ransom, but something else..' he thought. He turned his attention from the van and looked over his shoulder at his back.

When Hinata walked out of the bush pulling the hem of her skirt she called him, "umm.. excuse me.. kidnaper-san?".

"!" Sasori lifted a brow as he heard her call him that. He heaved an exasperated sigh but before he could speak he was startled by her.

Sasori widened his eyes as she bowed before him and said, "th.. thank you for saving my life..".

She walked away before he could speak anything in return to her. He stood there dumbfounded by her sudden expression of gratitude towards him, which greatly surprised him to a level where his mental stopped thinking for 1.. 2.. 3 seconds.

Something licked in his mind but before he realized it, he let the girl step away from in the means of escape. Before she could step even farther away he pulled her onto him. Startled by his sudden move Hinata again making another wrong assumption, she thrashed at him.

"wahh! Le-let me go! You..! uwaah!" the Hyuuga accidentally punched the face of the kidnaper-san.

She was shocked that she did that to him, his face was void of any emotion except for a death glare. He rubbed his right cheek and threw her an accusing look, Hinata clumsily pulled away from him and bowed her head numerous times to apologize again.

"G-Gomen.. gomen.. gomenasai kidnaper-san.." she lowered her head repeatedly.

Holding a grim expression he yelled at her annoyed by her behaviour which confused him so much, "oi! Stop that will you?".

Hinata gasped stood straight up as she stared at him as he spoke to her monotonously, "an ojyou-sama like you shouldn't lower your head and pride to a criminal like me.".

She widened her eyes at him, she blinked at him as she said, "I really mean it, I-I didn't me-mean to hurt you..".

He slumped his shoulders and said, "neither do I..".

She didn't understand what he was staying, he kidnapped her, he is a criminal with a motive but why does he have to say something like this to her? This confused her.

He turned away as he rubbed his cheek with a pout on his face, "so trust me if you want, but you must follow me now, you absolutely. Cannot. Escape.".

He turned back look at her with surprise as he heard her yell, "But why?".

"Huh?" he questioned her.

She averted her eyes as she spoke, "w-well, kidnaper-san, why didn't you kill, or rape me or sell me to somewhere..",

She trailed and Sasori continued, "whore-house?".

She lightened and said, "ah.. ye-yeah.. a-and your friends were caught.. you absolutely will be caught either way so why didn't you let me escape?".

He rubbed the back of his head in contemplation and he said, "a.. you got a point there.. but judging by the clothes you wear, you would track more unwanted trouble as you escape..".

Hinata blushed as he told her that while eyeing at her, he continued to accuse her, "judging by the way you are, I must say your clumsy you've might be caught by some pervert, or would dumbly run into trouble, while you're with me is much more safer than it looks, cuz I am a man who sticks to his words. I won't touch you.".

Hinata was now very red not out of embarrassment but believe it or not it was from anger, "so you mean that I am stupid..".

He threw her a side way teasing glance with his lips twitched upwards slightly with an amused expression he asked her, "is that a question or statement? Anyway you think, suit it yourself, ojyou-sama..".

He said as he walked and sat on a boulder of ruin, "The blast over here, the police might have heard it, they must be on their way right now, so.. if we wait a bit longer, you could go home safely without having to wonder around saying that you're escaping from me.. seriously, do I look like a pervert?".

Sasori chuckled as he watched Hinata's putting face as she said, "I thought you were..".

She paused momentarily before trailing the question she was about to ask him, "th-then who did that to the girl?".

"oh? That.. that was those two whom were with me.. I don't really care what they do.. my orders was to capture and bring you to a place, that's it. I just gave your boyfriend a scare so that he wouldn't try calling the cops. If I do that, I get money. So I did it." He answered.

'but I didn't think I would get back stabbed..' he thought in his mind.

The Hyuuga heiress grew glowing red as she stuttered, "h-he.. Sa-Sasuke is not my b-boyfriend..".

The red haired guy quirked an eyebrow and said, "Hn? So.. his your fiancé?".

She nodded to his question quietly not trusting her voice, it might show off that she is nervous.

The man smirked and said, "oh.. I should've known.. poor guy, he looked cooler than you.. he must've been forced to do it with you right?".

The look glare Hinata gave the red haired man made him laugh his ass off, but his laughter died down when she asked sadly, "am I looking that bad?".

Hinata was silent after she sked that question. Suddenly she widened her eyes when she felt him jab his finger on her forehead, she blushed as he smiled and said, "yo, ojyou-sama.. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.. don't take it seriously, but.. (chuckle).. its really fun teasing you..".

Hinata slapped his hand away from her forehead and pouted on a corner while Sasori continued to laugh at her. The conversation between them stopped abruptly, Hinata watched Sasori as he sat back on the rock. He was holding his chin and there was frown present on his forehead, making him look like a professor thinking of an experiment. By the way he looked, he wasn't giving off a bad vibe like his friends who raped the hotel servant girl, she felt warm when she was hugged by him before. He didn't seem to be a bad guy, but what bugged her is that the reason why he had entered this kind of way to gain money. He certainly did look good, and is surprisingly doing a very bad job at kidnapping. She felt so curious about him, she felt like it is okay if she wanted to know more about him.

While Hinata watched silently, Sasori who was aware of her gaze kept ignoring it and minding his own thoughts, 'if I contacted someone now, right after the blast, they would know that I am alive, so I cant keep in touch.. I cant go back to my apartment, even after I surrender, people would target me, so one way is.. to go to that place..'.

Hinata watched Sasori as he kept on pondering his mind on, she asked, "so why are you here? Why do you want to save me?".

The red haired man looked up from the rocks that he was staring down below his feet to the female before him, with a lot of questions in her mind. He didn't know who she is, but she sure looks curios about him, and something tells him that he had seen her somewhere before.

He smirked at her and said, "hn.. sorry ojyou-sama.. I didn't plan to wait here to 'save' you..".

He continued, "I plan to surrender.".

'Gasp'

Hinata gasped as she widened her eyes looking at the numerous people who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They had them completely surrounded.


"The bomb blast incident that happened three days ago in Osaka has captured the attention of the president. Deputy Commissioner Hatake Ryou, has said that the police enforcements were tightened surrounding the area, it was reported that more than 47 people were injured with burns in the fire involving the blast. 5 people were reported still being treated in intensive care unit while the others luckily survived the blast with minor injuries."

Naruto looked up at the news that was being aired in television that evening, he was sitting on his bed with his arm being bandaged over. He had suffered minor injuries with his arm being dislocated due to the accident that happened three days ago. He was caught in it while chasing after the guy who had kidnapped Hinata. Sakura who watched Naruto's grim expression, caressed his hair as she sat on top of the hospital bed beside him.

She held his other hand and squeezed it lightly, "Don't worry Naruto.. they'll definitely get him..".

Naruto stared at their interlaced hand intently and glanced at Sakura jade green eyes with worry etched on his sky blue orbs, "I hope so.. but I cant stop worrying about her.. Sakura-chan..".

Sakura gently hugged the Uzumaki close to her chest and inhaled deeply. Somehow she felt her chest tightening whenever Naruto mentions about Hinata. More than anyone, she knows that Naruto worries over the missing Hyuuga very much. She didn't know how to define this feeling, is it jealousy or pain? She didn't know why, but she felt disturbed that Naruto is more concerned for Hinata more than himself.

She widened her eyes as she was startled when she felt him speaking against her neck, "I want to find her.. Sakura-chan.. we cant let that bastard go.. I don't know why but I cant stop worrying about her..".

Her heart skipped a beat when she felt his hot tears cascading against her skin, she sighed and smiled breaking the hug to look at the Uzumaki in the eyes.

"Naruto.. we have Kakashi-sensei, your dad, Sasuke-kun's dad, Hyuuga-sama, Itachi-san, Obito-san all of them searching for her.. I'm sure they'll find her in no time.." she smiled at him.

The Haruno tenderly caressed his whiskered cheeks and wiped of his tears, she stood up from the bed and pulled the blanket over her boyfriend and ruffled his head lovingly.

Naruto smiled cheekily, blushing slightly as he heard his girlfriend say, "so you sleep for now, get better and we both can go with them to search for her, if you keep worrying you'll get me sick too..".

Naruto held on to her wrist and squeezed it slightly, smiling at her he said, "I'm glad that you're here for me Sakura-chan.. thank you..".

"aaa.. yeah, don't forget that we're here too.." Kiba said mockingly.

Both Naruto and Sakura blushed looking at Ino, Shino, Akamaru, Chouji and the others peeking on them.

Naruto shouted at them, "How rude.. cant you guys leave us alone?".

Kiba scoffed and said, "don't act as if we want to see you, we have no choice anyway..".

Ino smiled at Sakura placing an arm around her neck she asked Naruto, "you okay?".

Naruto smirked and nodded his head, "yeah.. how about .. Sas-Sasuke and Shikamaru?".

Ino down casted her eyes solemnly, Sakura glared accusingly at Naruto and brought the Yamanaka out of the room to console her. It seems like she is still affected by it.

Chouji fed Naruto some chips after both the females left the room, he answered, "munch.. munch.. I heard you only got to eat porridge? Haha.. well, Sasuke is still unconscious and Shikamaru..".

The Akimichi trailed slowly, Kiba tapped the guy on his back and said cheerfully, "oi! How much do I have to tell you, don't sulk it doesn't suit you Chouji! His still in comatose Naruto, its just that he is supported with the mechanical ventilator assisting him to breath.".

Naruto sighed in deeply gulping down the chips Chouji had fed him, "I bet he'll be fine, his strong!".

Kiba yelled loudly, "THAT'S IT! NARUTO! YOU'RE NOT SO DUMB! BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE SULKING OVER HIM HERE!".

Suddenly the guys were startled when two of the girls popped their heads in and hushed them sharply, "SSSSSSHHHHHH! Idiots! This is hospital!".


"The police have reported that the bomb blast was related to the kidnapping of Hyuuga corporation heiress Ms Hyuuga Hinata. Two of the kidnappers have been caught and are being investigated while the other kidnaper is still on the loose.."

The enormous white building was surrounded by a very big crowd of press and fans of a certain someone. The hospital was very busy with crowds rustling and bustling in and out. So many were injured from the blast that happened 3 days ago, and the hospital staff were running in high speed here and there attending crowds of patients. Some were burned, some survived and some still hanging on lose to their life line.

Few reporters chased after Uchiha Itachi who just stepped out of the hospital after visiting his baby brother. The guards stopped them from bothering the elder brother of the heart throb, making way for him and his wife to walk to their car through the crowd.

"Uchiha-san, Uchiha-san, what happened to Uchiha Sasuke?" reporter one asked.

"How long will he be in the intensive care unit?" reported two questioned.

"We heard he is out of critical stage two days ago, has Sasuke-san awakened?" reported three asked.

Uchiha Obito who followed the Uchiha couple stopped the press from following the Uchiha couple who has been stressed out because of the condition. He answered them in place of Itachi. He smiled nervously as all of them showered him with thousands of questions at him regarding Uchiha Sasuke. And the fan girls were sending cards and bouquets to the younger Uchiha, praying for his quick recovery.

'teet teet.. teet teet.. teet teet…'

The sound of medical monitor echoed through the room, which reached out of the room. The beeping of the machine which is monitoring Sasuke's vital signs continuously by his bedside, in all his three day of stay in the intensive care unit. A doctor in the white coat was checking the records of the monitor showing the young Uchiha's vital parameters such as his blood pressure and heart rate, and also pulse oximetry and respiratory rate.

Uchiha Fugaku stared at the one being treated in one of the intensive care unit room. His younger son who was treated in the room, whom he neglected so much for the sake of his company, he was staring at him solemnly from outside of the room since the nurse had not allowed any visitors in. The father watched as the son lay on the white bed of the hospital with numerous wires extended from machine that were attached to his body. He perked as he felt the cold fingers of Uchiha Mikoto caressing his back tenderly.

Mikoto who had been crying finally calmed down, she came to her husband's side, she stuttered for the first time after so many years, "W-will our baby be al-alright Fugaku?".

Fugaku turned to face his wife and smiled softly after so many years, he squeezed his wife's hand in his and kissed her knuckles, the man whispered softly, "He'll be fine Mikoto.. trust him, he'll be fine..".

Both of them turned abruptly as the door to the ICU squeaked open revealing the doctor who was inspecting their son came out. He greeted them with a kind smile.

"Doctor.. how is his condition? Will he be fine?" Mikoto asked the doctor regaining her composure.

The doctor smirked and said, "Sasuke-kun has been improving greatly, Fugaku-sama, Mikoto-sama, you have nothing to worry about..".

Fugaku cleared his throat and asked, "When will he be waking up Kabuto-kun?".

The doctor smiled and said, "very soon, hn, probably by today or tomorrow.. I'm sorry, but I have another patient to attend to, please excuse me Uchiha-sama..".

Mikoto who was very happy hugged Fugaku and cried on his chest. Kabuto who politely left them went to check upon Shikamaru and the other patients. It seems that Sasuke who was riding his bike was thrown off when the bomb in the cell phone blasted. Luckily he had escaped any major injuries, he had few broken ribs and fractures. Shikamaru in the other had suffered shock from excessive blood lose that had affected his brain. Due to that he had been in coma for the past three days, he is still treated in the ICU without any progression.


While in the police headquarters, Hyuuga Hiashi, Neji, Hanabi, Minato and Kushina just came out of the conference room. The police had investigated them regarding the Hyuuga's past enemies who would possibly be possible suspects for this kidnap case.

Asuma came out of the room after discussing the progression of the investigation between Deidara and Kakuzu.

"What did Ibiki-san said Asuma-kun?" Minato asked.

Asuma rubbed the back of his neck and said, "uhh.. he said he cant let out the details of the investigations yet.. but we found out something important, these two that we got are useless to our investigation, they're just local yankees. There are numerous cases filed on them..".

Obito scratched his cheek and said, "so they're just pawns huh?".

"so have you found their motives?" Neji asked.

Asuma smirked and said, "hn, yep. I think, I don't have to tell you, you already knew it right? Hiashi-sama?".

Hiashi who was still scowling at the police nodded silently and said, "certainly.. they've been quite for almost 12 years.. just to cause an uproar again..".

Minato looked at Hiashi and scowled in worry, he knew what and who they were referring to. Only both of them and a very few number in the police department knew of what happened 12 years ago. It was the darkest secret that has been hidden from the Hyuuga heiress herself. Hiashi even went such a length to alter his first born daughter's memory so that she wouldn't suffer for the rest of her life.
