Chapter Seven

Time Skip: One Week


Hinata was standing at the edge of a small lake on a rock jutting above the blue-green water. The sun danced across the surface sending little reflected rays of light to prance on her skin and her hair, pulling out the blue highlights.

Her silver eyes scanned the surrounding trees. Deciding that she was safe enough, she quickly stripped off her clothes and lept in to the water.The shock of the water against her skin made her gasp, it was cold, but it was better than being continually grimy.

With a graceful movement, she dove beneath the surface, her long midnight colored hair streaming out behind her. Holding her breath she swam to the bottom, where she kicked off and shot towards the surface. Her head broke the surface, and she gasped for air. She knew that diving so deep was dangerous, but for her it was exhilirating.

The feel of the water against her skin was wonderful. She hadn't bathed in a week. Now that she was making up for it, she was going to have some fun...alone.

But she was nervous.

Who wouldn't be? She was a kidnapee, watched over by a mysterious man. She wasn't sure if he would not watch her. He had been polite but, as a very self-concious young woman, she was understandably anxious.

And with her chakra blocked, she couldn't really know if he was there or not.

With these thoughts in her head she turned to the task at hand. With quick, sure, graefully even strokes of her pale limbs, she struck out for the shore. She had surfaced close to the middle, farther out than she had meant to go.

She reached the sandy beach and quickly gathered her soaps and towels. Returning to the water she began to wash off the past week's dirt.


The Raven watched silently form a copse of trees. He turned his head when Hinata began to undress, wanting to preserve at least some modesty for her. He had already "forgot" her underwear and that was disturbing enough for her. And him. He was beginning to have some doubts about that.

At the time it had seemed a good idea, but as he spent more time with her...He had heard some rumors. Rumors that said she was no innocent maid. But after spending so much time in her company, he found it hard to believe that she was a manipulative minxe.

He recognized the necessity for her to bathe but he didn't like it. She was off by herself all alone without even her Byakugan. And he wasn't the most dangerous thing out there, not in these times of war. He had let her go, but he wasn't stupid enough to let her go alone.

He had followed unobtrusively, and hidden himself nearby and with her in full view, he could be sure she was alright.

Still though, he found it harder than he'd thought to keep his eyes from straying to her.

Kami. She is so beautiful...

He shook himself, mentally listing all the reasons why he couldn't become involved. It was dangerous.

Women were dangerous.

He had enjoyed the company of many women over the years, but he'd always been careful with his heart. He, The Raven, wasn't going to be ensnared by some woman.

But Hinata isn't just any woman...

A sound of movement drew his attention away from his thoughts.

His head whipped around and spotted the source.

Although his face was hidden, anyone looking at him could see his inner annyoance and irritation.

He got up from his seat, reluctantly, though he'd never admit it, and faced the giant and the midget.
