CHAPTER 7

(A/N) Ok here's the next chappie please enjoy ^O^


The first month and a half were pure torture for the poor Hyuuga Heiress. The Akatsuki were merciless as they made a mess in the kitchen and the den areas. Everyone execpt Itachi and Zetsu made a huge mess, for they liked to be neat and not leave their things lying around because the other Akatsuki would steal it. Especially that ass hole Hidan. ( (A/N) No offense to Hidan lovers! I love the Jashinist too ^O^) Eventually she got used to it and even picked up her pace some, so that Leader allowed her a few free hours to roam the Hide Out but she still had to be followed or escorted.

Now its been three months since Hinata saw her teammates last, but with all the hardened Akatsuki males she had become stronger herself. Pretty much better at hiding her emotions, and lost her studder. Her blush on the other hand still crept onto her face but not as much, for in those few short months she grew a stronger will and determination.

She wouldn't admit it, but the Akatsuki had grown on her. She didn't know it but she had grown on the Akatsuki with her soft and gentle ways; furthermore had grown in a certain green haired Akatsuki's heart more and more with the passing months and all the time they spent together.

Well today was like any normal day in the Base: Hinata cleaning the den, Tobi sitting in a chair asking Hinata all kinds of random questions and she would answer him as if she had all the patience in the world, Deidara sitting on one end of the couch molding clay all the while wondering how she put up with the brat, Kisame sitting on the other couch watching tv, Itachi on the same couch reading a book, and Zetsu leaning in one of the two doorways into the den watching Hinata intently.

"Hinata-chan~~"

Tobi whined some bouncing in the chair lightly. The female stopped dusting and turned to look at him.

"Hai Tobi-kun?"

"Tobi is bored!! Play a game with Tobi please!!!!"

The child-like Akatsuki member pleaded holding his hands in front of himself begging her to say yes. The Hyuuga smiled faintly and said to him.

"Once I finish dusting we can play a board game or something ok?"

"Yay!!"

Yelled the orange masked male as he quickly jumped up grabbed the duster from her, and quickly finished dusting for her.

"Ok Hina-chan done! Play with Tobi now?!"

Asked the over enthusiastic member who was quivering with excitement.

"Alright, what game do you wish to play?"

Hinata asked giggling at his antics some. Tobi pointed a finger in the air as if a light bulb went off over his head.

"Oooh oooh! Tobi heard Deidara-sempai talking about.. something with a bottle.."

The black haired man said, then quickly turned towards his sempai.

"Deidara-sempai!! What was that game you said? Something about a bottle?"

Deidara merely arched an eyebrow and smirked cockily.

"Spin the bottle Truth or Dare style"

Hinata deadpanned as everyone in the room glanced at Deidara as he said the game. The blonde pyromaniac looked to the kunoichi with an evil grin as the males in the room, minus Itachi who just blinked, smriked along with Deidara.

Quickly, the Hyuuga turned and ran towards the hall that Zetsu didn't occupuy, but the green haired nin fused with the walls and appeared before her before she could escape. He clamped a black hand on her forearm his smirk still in place, but all the female did was smile and stick out her tongue. Poofing with a nice pop, the real Hinata escaped down the hallway Zetsu had previously occupied.

Pumping some chakra to her feet the shinobi ran down the hall, then skidded around the corner right onto Zetsu's chest. The momentum of her run made her fall backwards onto her butt with a soft oomph.

"I-ita.."

The Hyuuga grimaced, one of her hues closed in slight pain as she looked up to him. The plant man's heart clenched at the sceen below him; consequently she looked absolutely delicious to him right then, but in a way he had never experienced before.

"Here.."

He stated his voice deeper than normal as he held his hand out to her. Hinata looked up to him, a light blush tinting her cheeks as she noticed that his voice was deeper than usual.

"A-arigatou"

She stammered her blush deepening as she placed her soft hand into his calused one. Zetsu used a little more force than he intended when pulling her up and so it caused her to crash onto his chest once more. This time the kunoichi grabbed onto his cloak, while at the same time his hands went to her waist, making sure she didn't fall again and holding her a little closer.

The two quickly broke apart at the sound of Tobi yelling.

"YOU SAID YOU WOULD PLAY WITH TOBI, HINA-CHAN~!!"

Hinata sighed some, then giggled as she turned and started walking back to the den. Noticing that Zetsu wasn't following she turned back around with slight pout on her face. The pout pretty much said 'If I have to play, so do you.'

The male merely smirked to her, a smirk that said 'I don't think so.' Her pout deepened when all of a sudden a bold streak overcame her, and without thinking of what she was doing the Hyuuga quickly grabbed his hand and gently tugged urging him forward.

Breiefly caught off guard at her action he walked forward, and let her tug him along. When they both finally reached the doorway she gave his hand a gentle squeeze and he let her hand go as they emerged into the den.

"Yay!! Hina-chan will play!"

Tobi replied giddily dancing around the room before sitting on the floor and beconing everyone else to do the same. They all just obliged just so they wouldn't have to hear his mouth, and Deidara pulled a bottle out from his cloak. Hinata looked to him suspiciously and he grinned her way, pretty much making her suspicion that he had been planning this all day.

"Ok, un. Who goes first, yeah?"

The blonde male looked around the room, then his gaze settled on Hinata.

"Ladies first, yeah."

He grinned to her as he tossed her the bottle. The Hyuuga caught it, before placing it in the middle of the circle and giving it a spin. (Oh! The seating arrangement is: to Hinata's left is Itachi, then Kisame, then Tobi, Deidara, Hidan [he came in when Zetsu and Hinata were in the hall], and Zetsu. [Kakuzu is to busy counting his money]).

The bottle spun relatively fast and landed on none other than the infamous Uchiha himself. Hinata's hues widened some and she timidly asked.

"Truth or Dare Itachi-san?"

The Uchiha male looked to her no emotion on his face what-so-ever, but the corner of his mouth twitched a little which told Hinata he was amused so she calmed down some.

"Truth"

He stated in his monotone voice, then watched her to see what she could come up with. The female bit her bottom lip in concentration, then her hues lit up and she asked.

"Is it true that you use Herbal Essence?"

The Uchiha's eye twitched ever so slightly and he replied with.

"Hn."

Which she took as a yes, and waited for him to spin. When he did his spin landed on Deidara, and this caused the Sharingan user to smirk.

"Truth or Dare?"

The blonde's hues narrowed and he boldly spit out.

"Dare, un!"

Itachi's smirk held as he said.

"I dare you to prance around in a french maid's outfit all week, complete with the langure underneath."

Deidara's mouth dropped open, and his eyes grew wide.

"Hell no!"

"A dare's a dare"

Kisame chuckled as Deidara looked pissed off and harshley spun the bottle. It spun slower and slower and finally stopped to land on... Kisame! The blue shark nin just grunted as Deidara grinned evily.

"Truth or Dare, yeah?"

The Hoshigaki male blinked looking at Deidara as if he were stupid and said.

"Dare."

Deidara practically oozed evil intent as he said allowed.

"I dare you to make out with Itachi-san."

Kisame and Hinata both stared at Deidara with mouths open. Zetsu put a finger under her chin and closed her mouth for her, while Kisame's hues narrowed and he growled.

"No"

The blonde bomber kept his evil smirk and mimicked.

"A dare's a dare, Kisame-kun"

The blue ninja looked like he was about to strangle Deidara, but turned to Itachi with look that said 'We'll kill him later.' Itachi's return glare pretty much stated 'Agreed.'

So the two partners quickly leaned in, kissed for a few seconds, then pulled back.

"That didn't count!"

Deidara said giving them both an evil glare.

"Yes it did, you never said how long they had to.."

Hinata pointed out and Kisame looked to her with a smirk of amusement and thanks in his eyes. She smiled to him as Deidara huffed in annoyance, then Kisame spinned the bottle faster than Deidara did.

They had to wait about three minutes for the bottle to stop, and by then Hinata had leaned back against the couch and was just dozing off.

"Yay!!"

Hinata quickly opened her hues and looked to the hyper ninja as Kisame asked.

"Truth or Dare?"

"Hmmmmm.. Tobi picks... DARE~!!"

The lolly pop masked figure shouted, bouncing excitedly and looking to Kisame expectidly. Kisame gave his famous shark smirk and said.

"I dare you to go into Leader's office, wearing a pink frilly tutu, singing I feel pretty."

At this Hinata looked to her feet, trying not to laugh at Tobi's predicimant.

"Ok!!"

Yelled the orange masked ninja as he jumped up and did as he was told. A few minutes later they heard cursing, things crashing against the wall, and Tobi yelling.

"It was a dare!"

His gleeful laughter could be heard as Pein chased the annoying S class criminal from his office and slammed the door.

Everyone in the den started laughing quietly so Leader wouldn't hear, except Itachi he just smirked.

Tobi had come back to the circle and was back in his normal attire, an air of accomplishment around him.

Grabbing the bottle, he spun it like a pro and made it spin just as fast as Kisame's. Groaning some, Hinata leaned her head back onto the couch, while Zetsu glanced to her. Unfortunatly for Zetsu, Hidan saw this and smirked evily before hiding his smirk once the plant man looked his way.

(A/N) Ok I'm going to be mean and leave it off right here ^O^ Please review and I will try to get in another chappie soon ^O^
