The Superstar Falls In Love
Chapter 8.
Hinata stirred upon the bed she had been placed on, opening her eyes slightly she found that the lighting was very dim and it was dark. Suddenly she sat up taking in the strange new surroundings she was in. Hinata quickly placed her trembling hand against her forehead as she tried to remember past events.
Hinata could remember going on the lift taking it down towards the lobby to order breakfast by the usual room service that was a regular occurrence, usually the order would be done over the phone by Naruto or herself but for some reason the phone in their room was out of order, which she had reported to the male receptionist who also thought that it was extremely odd.
After placing the order she headed back to the lift but then it hit her, she was grabbed around the waist by a man, who he was she was not sure, but he was strong and tall his other hand covered her mouth preventing her from screaming her lungs out. She struggled in vain hoping against hope that someone would see the predicament she was in, but no... Luck was not on her side.
She then remembered feeling the man touch a part of her neck, making the world around her go black and here she was now, alone in some strange bed, in some strange room.
Hinata felt sick trying to listen out for any sounds, but it was deathly quiet. Hinata stood up off the bed looking around the room that was very bare except for the large bed she had got up from. There was no windows, just one door and a bed she looked upon the walls for any surveillance cameras that could be watching her every move but noticed nothing.
Hinata slowly went towards the door and tried to open it, but found it was locked and she was now a prisoner. Hinata wondered who held her prisoner, who it was she wasn't sure, she had no clue unless it was Menma, Naruto's brother. Hinata started to panic she didn't like the look of him even though they looked alike they wasn't alike at all.
Menma had given her the creeps, she would rather bite her own tongue than betray Naruto.
Her thoughts drifted to the blonde, she was already missing him terribly, she wished she could turn back time and go back to this morning laying next to him on the bed his strong arms wrapped around her pulling her closer towards him. His heartbeat beating in her ear gave her comfort and made her feel safe. But now she was alone away from him, why was she so stupid?
She should of stayed where she was, she wouldn't be in the predicament she was in now.
"Naruto-kun..." Hinata whispered
A tear fell down her cheek, her back was against the wall as she slid down against it. Now finding herself sitting on the floor, hugging her knees to her chest, crying into her knees feeling terrified.
"Naruto-kun..."
oOoOo
Kumogakure...
Naruto had been brought to the large set of main buildings within Kumo, along with Kakashi, Guy, and the members of Kyubi, everyone insisting to help in the search for Hinata. Killer Bee along with Samui had managed to get a private meeting with the Raikage in helping to find Hinata. Upon their arrival they immediately saw Minato talking to Jiraiya who was already waiting for them.
Naruto had been filled in by Jiraiya regarding Hinata's family, he was surprised to find she was once an heiress to the Hyuga clan one of the most revered families in Konoha, but she was stripped of her title in favor for her younger sister Hanabi to take her place. Jiraiya had informed Hinata's family and her cousin Neji, was flying out at to meet with Naruto and the others.
The other shocking moment came when he spoke with his father who apparently knew the Hyuga's quite well.
Frustration began to show within Naruto, there was a lot of things he never knew about Hinata, that he never even thought to ask. But now he wished he had done so, and knew he was going to find out everything about her when he finds her. Kakashi had managed to get the still picture back from the hotel security. He noticed a few things that had jogged a memory that he tried to remember. He was certain that he had run across this person sometime before which could lead them to the vital information they needed
The other shocking detail that Naruto was inwardly seething about, was the fact that the situation was to be remained quiet from the media. This was asked by her family due to the situation and not wanting any harm to come to her because if it at least until they knew more of what had happened as well as the suspects involved.
Jiraiya was calm even though deep down he was in turmoil, he was pretty sure who was behind it, but he couldn't start accusations without certain proof. He just hoped that Hinata was safe and unharmed, because if she wasn't there would be hell to pay.
Samui along with Killer B arrived with another man who was just as big as Killer B but slightly older, but his stature was remarkably the same. Naruto realised he must be the Raikage. The Raikage named A had been told what had happened he was stunned and furious that a kidnapping had occured within Kumo, and he assured everyone that he would use every reliable resource to help locating the Hyuga girl.
Kakashi, and his band mates was worried about Naruto, he hadn't eaten or even had anything to drink he was an emotional mess, full of anxiety and concern. All of them tried to ease him even Sai, but all had failed. Sakura had watched helplessly on the side lines, seeing her friend in such turmoil.
Sakura had known Sasuke and Naruto for many years, she had always had eyes for Sasuke who at first didn't share her fatuation. Naruto was always with Sasuke and they got quite friendly, even if Sakura had found him annoying at first. As time passed she saw him as a good friend and annoying brother. Sasuke and Naruto had a bond like brothers even if they wasn't brother's by blood.
Sakura had achieved her dream, working as a nurse, she kept in constant contact with Sasuke and Naruto, supported them when they went for their dream of becoming a band. At first she grew worried mainly due to Sasuke forgetting her and being infatuated by not only fan girls like she was once was, but also the top female artists in the industry.
However Sakura didn't have to worry, Sasuke had been admiring her for sometime and had finally confessed his feelings to her, she had become a firm supporter to all the members of Kyubi. Although she would get annoyed with Naruto and tell him off for his womanising ways. Now seeing him look so frantic and worried, made her desperately want him to regain himself and see sense.
Feeling very determined she stomped over towards the blonde Uzumaki.
Naruto looked up and could see Sakura with her arms crossed looking down at him her eyes were ablaze of flickering emeralds staring deeply at him, the usual Haruno glare tore into him. He had seen it on her a few times before and had been a victim to her powerful punches many times through the years. Sakura seemed to rival his own mother Kushina sometimes with her legendary temper.
"Naruto Uzumaki, get your fucking ass up now and stop feeling sorry for yourself!" Sakura announced loudly
"Sakura?" Sasuke almost whispered stunned.
"Naruto...Look we know you are worried about Hinata, they all are including myself and Ino and we haven't even met her yet? Now listen here, you won't be any help to her if you don't have something to eat or drink. You need to gain stregth and rest so that you will be ready to go to her as soon as we locate her" Sakura stated loudly.
Naruto flinched as a few tears fell down each of her cheeks even Sasuke wanted to move towards her but kept still.
"Please Naruto" She said full of emotion.
Naruto shook his head a slight smile graced his lips as he stood before Sakura and gently placed his hand on her shoulder making her gasp at the gesture.
"Sorry Sakura-chan I really am... Sorry to all of you guys too, I am kinda hungry" Naruto stated rubbing the back of his head with his hand
Sakura smiled as she grabbed his arm within hers and led the way to get some food with Sasauke and the rest of Kyubi following behind them.
Jiraiya smiled along with Minato and Kakashi who saw the entire scene that had took place. Looking more relieved and thankful to the pinkette for getting him to eat and drink something at least.
"They are really good kids Kakashi, you should be proud" Jiraiya stated
"I am Jiraiya, I am very proud of each of them" Kakashi answered.
"Naruto will be ok that I'm certain, they each have his back." Minato stated.
Both men smiled and nodded as they got to work knowing that Naruto would be ok with his friends by his side.
oOoOo
Elsewhere...
Zabuza along with his team was currently back in their hideout sorting through the money for the job they had just done. Zabuza had been very quiet since they drove off after handing the girl over to Orochimaru. Haku knew that whatever it was that was bothering his teacher/guardian it had something to do with the conversation they had before he drove off.
The Demon brothers had gone to get some food for everyone leaving just himself with Zabuza alone. Haku decided that it was probably the best time to see what was up with the man he considered like a father.
"Um...Zabuza?"
Zabuza stiffened realising he had not been taking notice of his surroundings, but had been deep in thought, realising that now it was just himself and Haku in the room. He knew the boy would see what was up with him he just couldn't seem to keep things away from that boy for long.
"What is it kid?"
"Zabuza I know something is troubling you so tell me what is it?"
Zabuza sighed knowing he couldn't keep it from him, he would hound him forever. He could be annoying that way, but he was also the same regarding the boy too. It was the bond they shared after finding him orphaned and alone his parents had been killed by bandits for some reason unknown to himself, he took the young boy under his wing taught him a few things and they both trusted one another completely.
"Its about that girl we kidnapped for that snake Orochimaru" Zabuza growled out towards the end.
"Why? what's wrong?" Haku asked
"I just regret handing the girl over to the bastard, especially after what I know he has planned for her"
"Tell me Zabuza.."
Zabuza began to repeat the conversation that went on between them to Haku who listened throughout.
oOoOo
Otogakure...
The Akatsuki had been travelling all day and mostly all night, it was early in the morning when they arrived at Orochimaru's mansion. It was a huge estate that stood alone, away from the main village itself. The band members didn't really know that the owner was as seedy as they come. They also didn't know that he did a lot of shady dealings to get money. One was distributing drugs and getting information on important leaders of each elemental state so that he could bribe and blackmail for power and wealth.
The only person that seemed to know the real goings on with Orochimaru was Kabuto their manager. Pein had joined up with the group, he was their choreographer solely working with them on his free time, only due to being friends with most of them. He had been asked to accompany the group back to Otogakure. Pein was currently conversing on his cell phone to his girlfriend Konan, she had been wanting him to retire and spend more time together so they could finally start a family. The connection wasn't great, in fact it was pretty dismal hearing her voice breaking up as he strained to hear her a few times.
He promised her that he would try to get home soon to Amegakure to spend more time with her as soon as possible, as he finished the call sighing. Something was bothering him, he knew that for Orochimaru to call him so suddenly out of the blue like that was strange. Luckily he had just finished his own schedule and was free to accompany the band back and was stunned as to why the group was being brought back to the owner's home.
Pein had been talking to Itachi quietly amongst themselves and Itachi had filled him in on Menma and his odd behaviour. Pein was surprised as Menma was pretty calm and great to work with. He had heard through rumour that Menma was a ladies man heck his younger brother Naruto was as well. To be honest most of the music groups had their wild side and tried to enjoy life with alcohol, drugs and woman. When Itachi had told him the news regarding the girl and her name was Hinata he was surprised, as the Hyuga name was quite well known mainly due to politics.
Itachi had stated that Zetsu, Kisame, Kakuzu and himself wasn't really interested in groupies, all they wanted to do was concentrate on their jobs and continue working on their new album. Having this situation hanging over their heads wasn't good for the group, especially if it caused tention between the two groups. Pein could understand Itachi's worries and had decided to talk to the members about it, seeing as Kabuto was aware of the situation and had yet to talk to them all.
The other members would probably be harder to persuade, especially Hidan, Deidara, Sasori, and most of all Menma, he was certain he could get the others to drop the situation about the girl. They had other things to concentrate on if they truly wanted the group to succeed. They had a notorious vibe around them that had put some people off which was not helped due to the owner and their manager. Pein was certain that the Akatsuki would be better off under new management, but the contracts each of his friends had signed was going to be difficult for them to break.
Orochimaru was a cunning bastard, each of them knew that and just played along to the owner's whims so that they could continue to do what they wanted, at least until their contracts were up for renewal. Pein sighed there was alot he had to talk to the group about, especially if they wanted success and he wondered why the group was brought to the owners home anyway?
It just didn't make sense to him or them for that matter.
Pein had decided that he would have to talk to Kisame and Kakuzu quickly, the more he convinced them to his side the better. He had had enough of Orochimaru taking advantage of the other members. The group could go far that he was certain Orochimaru wasn't the right person to help his friends accomplish it.
The large people carrier had stopped near the entrance, each of them got out hearing their shoes crunch upon the gravel as they made their way with their bags to the large doors. As they all neared the entrance, Orochimaru was already stood there, stepping aside as each member headed inside with Pein coming behind in the rear. Each of them took in the man's grand looking hall way welcoming them to his home.
"Welcome boysss pleassse make yourssself comfortable, we ssshall begin work on your new album firsst thing in the morning."
Each of the Akatsuki groaned feeling tired from all the travelling they had just done. Orochimaru instructed one of his servants to show the group to their rooms and to rest until the morning.
"Menma-kun...I would like to talk to you... Alone" Orochimaru stated
Everyone left following the servants.
Pein watched as Orochimaru left with Menma following behind him, Itachi looked at him as they both signalled to each other. Pein had decided to talk to the two other members while he had the chance.
"Kakuzu...Kisame..." Pein whispered quietly.
Both members turned towards him both puzzled as to why he wanted to talk to them. Pein usually kept himself to himself but something must be up to get their attention so both was curious as to what.
"Listen once we are shown our rooms I need to speak with you both privately"
"About what?" Kisame asked puzzled
"Look I need to talk to you both about the group in general."
Both of them nodded in agreement Kakuzu and Kisame knew that Pein was serious when it came to group issues and both of them did love being in the music industry, one for wealth and the other for fame.
oOoOo
With Orochimaru & Menma...
Menma followed Orochimaru to his office still slightly exhausted but curious on any news. Orochimaru walked over to his desk sitting down against the dark leather chair with a smug looking face.
"I have done what you requesssted Menma"
"What?" Menma asked confused.
"I have completed the favor you asssked me for I have in my posssesssion Hinata Hyuga"
"You brought her?" Menma asked stunned
"Yesss, ssshe is currently my guessst... A very ssspecial guessst of mine, would you like to sssee her?"
Menma still shocked just nodded wanting nothing more than to see the girl up close and personal again.
"Very well but remember Menma, you have to fulfil your end of the bargain" Orochimaru reminded.
oOoOo
Kumogakure...
Naruto had managed to eat a hamburger, much to the delight of his band mates. They briefly talked on some things just to take Naruto's mind of things but it was extremely difficult. The slow walk to the hotel with the others was in silence as Naruto still had Hinata in his thoughts, wanting nothing more than to find her and find whoever had his beautiful vixen.
Once they had reached the lobby floor they noticed that Kushina had arrived and was waiting patiently for Naruto to arrive. She had had a huge argument with Minato about what had gone on. Hearing about Naruto's potential girlfriend being kidnapped alarmed her and she caught a flight out to them from Uzugakure. Beside her was his cousin Karin Uzumaki who was accompanied by her boyfriend Suigetsu and her friend Juugo.
"Naruto" Kushina stated running towards him giving him a hug.
"Mom" Naruto stated quietly, returning the hug.
"Hey cousin...I think you had better come with me" Karin stated gently.
Naruto raised a brow, but followed her nonetheless with everyone else following behind. Karin entered the room first noticing that another person similar to Hinata was now in the room the eyes was the same but more white whereas Hinata's held a tint of lilac. Naruto was shocked at seeing a member of Hinata's family in the room, he was certain he had seen this man before but from where?
"Ah Naruto let me introduce you to Neji Hyuga, Hinata's cousin. Neji, this is my cousin Naruto Uzumaki"
Neji looked on stoically at Naruto, looking him up and down, then extending his hand to shake his .
"I am well aware of you Naruto Uzumaki, I haven't had the honor to meet you personally before. However, I have heard of you alot from my cousin who is your biggest fan, as well as hearing about you from your father that had attended my uncle's charity event."
Naruto blinked he had heard of the event from his father a few months back, however he had recently found out that his dad was quite friendly with them. Neji glanced towards the other band members settling his eyes upon Sasuke in particular. Sasuke himself had finally realised who he was looking at, knowing he had seen him himself at the charity event in particular.
Sasuke's father Fugaku, had insisted that Sasuke attended the event, Itachi couldn't as he was performing elsewhere. Sasuke wasn't a lover of events, but his father had always tried to introduce young influential daughters as a potential marriage prospect. Sasuke however denied and refused them and had told his father that he was happy with Sakura and could only see his future with her.
"Yes it is an honor to meet you again Neji, I trust you are aware of my friends relationship with your cousin?" Sasuke stated. Causing Naruto to blush.
"I am aware of my cousin's infatuation with Naruto yes. However, I was not aware that both of you have now entered a relationship?" Neji replied shocked, looking at Naruto in particular.
"Y-Yes we have both realised our feelings for one another and officially got together" Naruto replied back nervously
"Well I can't say I'm not surprised. My cousin Hinata-sama has always liked you and was determined to meet you someday, so... I see her greatest wish has come true" Neji stated with a soft smile.
Naruto looked surprised at Neji, who proceeded to tell him everything about how Hinata idolized him from the very beginning. Naruto was beyond stunned at the many stories that Neji had told him feeling slightly embarrassed too for not realising her feelings sooner, especially when it was painfully obvious to everyone else that new her.
oOoOo
Kumo Securities...
Kakashi was still looking at the picture within his hands still trying to see who the person was. He was pretty sure he had seen him somewhere before. Guy wasn't so sure, but knew there was a lot of rogues out there that took on other work no matter the circumstances, just to get by. So anyone could easily be hired to do other people's bidding just like Jiraiya was very certain of.
Kakashi sighed mentally, screaming to remember who this person could be. It was just a shame that there was no other surveillance footage available to them. One thing was certain, whoever did this, had done their homework on the layout of the hotel.
Minato agreed and had called in a few favours as well as the Hyuga family sending the very best to assist on the situation. Neji had been sent to oversee things and was currently with the others at the hotel. Minato was certain that he wanted to see his son himself. He was thinking about his argument with Kushina and regretted keeping things quiet. He had also tried to get hold of his eldest son Menma, who was now one of the prime suspects that information had hurt him deeply.
If Kushina found out about this, it would destroy her seeing how she loved both her boys.
He had always wondered why his sons never saw eye to eye, none of them were favoured more than the other and yet Menma always seemed to take what Naruto had. Or he wanted whatever Naruto liked. Naruto had always seemed riled when Menma had got a leading part with an actress he admired and knew there was jeoulousy between the brothers. However, both Kushina and himself never denied either of them and let them persue their dreams and ambitions, by always supporting them.
They were both their children, Minato wasn't keen on Menma getting with Orochimaru's record label at the time, but he had always told his son's to follow their own path.
After speaking with Jiraiya about the things he had heard about the man named Orochimaru, it made Minato think otherwise and blamed himself for not checking things out more, before he allowed his son to sign a deal with the devil himself. Jiraiya was adamant that this was the work of Orochimaru, but they had nothing to strengthen that claim.
Minato had spoken to Hiashi and had told him the circumstances. Hiashi wanted the situation kept quiet for now from the media until they were certain there was no other leads. So far they had no clues other than a picture of the assailant, but no leads on where they headed. Minato was in no doubt that whoever took her, had done so very efficently, which proved to them all that she had been watched since her arrival.
After all they was just waiting for the perfect time to grab her.
Hiashi was keeping in close contact with both Minato, Jiraiya and the Kumo investigation team. Minato had called his lawyers to look into a copy of Menma's contract that he kept, to see what his legal team could come up with to break it. What with Itachi also being a member he knew Sasuke would also want his brother out of the man's company as well.
Minato knew that his youngest son was growing worried, he had hoped they would of found something concrete to help them by now, but so far its all just theory and guess work. If it did turn out to be his eldest son, then there would be hell to pay, especially with what he had heard regarding the Akatsuki, as a group out of the limelight. A lot of it was spread rumours, but Minato wasn't now sure what to believe.
"Jiraiya...can I have a word?"
"Sure Minato"
oOoOo
Otogakure...Orichimaru's estate.
Orochimaru led Menma to the other side of his mansion that was eerily quiet, the lighting wasn't very bright. The corridors was dark and narrow the further in they went. The silence was unbearable for Menma, but words wasn't needed, especially from the man in front of him that reminded him of a snake.
Soon they reached a door as Orochimaru took out a key from his pocket.
"Don't be too long you can have your fun tomorrow" Orochimaru stated.
"..."
Orochimaru unlocked the door opening it as he along with Menma entered the room, seeing the young girl sat hugging her knees to her chest sobbing uncontrollably, not hearing the door open. Menma immediately noticed her stiffen at hearing their footsteps along with her body trembling. He couldn't see her face that was still down against her knees the loud sniffles from her crying could be heard.
Hinata froze when she heard the footsteps, she felt frightened keeping her head down against her knees still feeling petrified. Hinata slowly lifted her face towards her kidnappers recognising straight away Naruto's brother Menma, his dark hair and similar coloured eyes to her beloved blonde bore into hers, trying to take over her soul with his own. But Hinata felt nothing but anger simmer deeply inside her, along with a coldness she had never felt before or even knew existed.
The creepy looking man next to her frightened her the most, he looked evil, demented, and just plain creepy it sent chills up and down her spine. He was very slim with extremely pale skin almost a shade of white, with long black hair and yellow looking eyes that looked dangerous.
"Well I sssee you have already recognisssed Menma-kun here" Orochimaru stated in amusement
Menma never took his eyes off of her, he was still surprised that Orochimaru had granted his request. However, seeing her looking so frightened and looking at him coldly unnerved him. He had really wanted to see her again. He could see himself falling in love with her even more. To him Hinata was definitely bewitching, the way the dim lighting glowed around her made her look magical.
The way her lilac pupiless eyes tore into his blue ones certainly enchanted him, he could see why his brother was attracted to her than any other woman he had met. He had thought his younger brother had fallen in love before, an up and coming singer named Shion, that had took the industry by storm.
There was many rumours back then that his brother was sweet on her and she was sweet on him.
When Menma had met Shion, he was happy and slightly jealous of his younger brother. He had always wanted to continue their sibling rivalry. Menma found that since they grew up, they had somehow grew distant and Menma could see how close Naruto was to Sasuke and found he grew jealous of that. At that time he had met Shion, she had sought him out and he had started a relationship with her.
He wasn't as serious about it as she was.
Naruto had found out, although it wasn't Menma that had kept it quiet on purpose. It was Shion that had requested their relationship to be secret until otherwise. It wasn't until a few weeks later when he had heard that Naruto was upset because the girl he had grown to like was seeing his brother and had assumed that Menma had taken her on purpose. Although that wasn't exactly what happened at all, so since then their relationship had strained and had not gotten any better with time.
Naruto had been seeing woman on his travels, as did Menma who had broken up with Shion not to long after. Leaving her upset but not entirely heartbroken about it. Menma rarely saw his brother, and if he did they hardly talked to each other. When he saw Hinata that morning he was immediately captivated with her, at first he wasn't sure if she was indeed Kakashi's assistant. That changed with how his younger brother was acting when he asked about her and seeing the panties upon the floor confirmed his growing suspicions.
For the first time in his life he was actually envious of his brother, especially when he saw her photograph. He hadn't really read all of the information gathered only a little of it, his thoughts was on her picture seeing her smiling. Only when Itachi mentioned she was working for a renowned photographer named Jiraiya, had him wanting to go there and see her again more closely. When he did he was wanting to get her to work with the group, so that he could spend time with her and see if he could attract her to him other than his brother.
But that didn't work, so he was desperate and asked the owner for a favor, seeing her now looking frightened and staring at him coldly had now made him finally realise what he had done. Immediately he felt guilty seeing her unshed tears sparking within her eyes. He finally realised just how much he wanted to hold her within his arms, this petite looking spitfire before him, he could see the death glares she was giving him and his heart clenched because of it.
He was truly envious of his brother, for having this girls affections.
Orochimaru could feel the electricity in the air, but the girl before him was not so happy to be in front of Menma and himself that was clearly very evident. Orochimaru had looked at her, now that she was awake and had to admit she looked quite delicious and could see why a few of his band members was attracted to her. He now had her in his grasp and began to chuckle darkly, which brought both Menma and Hinata back to reality.
"It ssseemsss my boysss will love getting to know you more persssonally, ssso play nice if I wasss you?" Orochimaru announced.
Menma looked at the owner with a blank expression, but inwardly he was confused by his words and in turmoil. Hinata however was confused and by the look on the man's face grew fearful.
"W-What d-do you m-mean? You have to l-let me go!" Hinata practically screamed to the very amused Orochimaru
"I don't think ssso, you sssee you will be a great addition to have my dear, you can certainly entertain my group whether you agree to or not!" Orochimaru warned
Menma was shocked, that wasn't what he wanted, he hadn't asked for her to be brought here like this!? The thought of seeing her being used by others made him sick. However, Menma kept quiet for now at least. Hinata was not like the other woman that followed the group when they went on tour, and then the woman the band members entertained themselves with were willing and not forced to have sex.
The Akatsuki although rough around the edges liked to have wild parties, that involved drugs, alcohol and of course the female fans that was lucky enough to get their attention. To them it was the privileges of being famous, but rape certainly wasn't, not that he knew of.
Kakuzu was money hungry always wanting the group to participate in interviews or events that paid the most. Zestu, Itachi and Kisame just loved to play and create music. Sasori and Deidara including Hidan loved performing and living in the limelight with all its perks and they did love the females that came with that. He himself was the same but all had been willing and never forced, why the owner had said that confused him but also had alarm bells going within him.
What was the owner thinking?
Hinata stared wide eyed at the man who looked like a slithering snake, he looked dangerous everything about him screamed danger and to be on your guard. Hinata knew her life was in danger, but mostly her own body and sanity was by the way this man was going on. So she was going to be entertainment for more than just Menma? Then it hit her like a bolt of lightning, striking her body.
He was telling her that she was going to be a plaything for the Akatsuki members?! That alone made her feel sick to her very stomach, even though she had been feeling slightly sick herself the last couple of days. She had briefly wondered if she was coming down with something? That was all she needed if she was.
Hinata stood up, shaking in anger at what she had just been told a rage built up from within her, as she slowly walked over towards both men. Within seconds her fist had connected into Menma's face shocking him greatly including the smile that faded very quickly from the snake mans face.
"I would rather bite my own tongue, than to sleep with you!" She glared at Menma who could see the fire in her eyes.
Hinata then glanced at the creepy long haired man, glaring defiantly at the slithering bastard in front of her like a true Hyuga Heiress with an air of authority from her upbringing that would of made her cousin proud.
"And you... How dare you take me away from the people that care about me, I am not some kind of whore for hire. So I will never entertain your boys, let them entertain themselves with their groupies or their fucking own hands for all I care" Hinata raged seething
Orochimaru and Menma looked on in silence, as Hinata trembled in anger and defiance staring at them both ready to fight if either one of them moved closer to her. She would not be a victim, and she would not be seen as weak. Not this time, her heart and body belonged to only Naruto and no one else's and she would fight tooth and nail to keep it that way.
"Interesssting" Orochimaru whispered quietly, whilst glancing at Menma who just stared at the Hyuga girl.
Orochimaru placed his bony pale hand upon his shoulder.
"Come we have many thingsss to do and you need to ressst, let Kabuto look at that before you sssleep" Orochimaru demanded sternly
Turning their backs upon Hinata that had watched them leave and shut the door and lock her inside again, leaving her to the silence and her thoughts, wondering what she should do next? She now needed to come up with a plan to escape this hell she has found herself in, and find her way back to Naruto.
oOoOo
Meanwhile with Pein...
Pein was sat down, patiently waiting for Kisame and Kakuzu to arrive. He was trying to work out, a plan of action in his head. A knock on the door brought his attention back from his thoughts as he got up and opened the rooms door, noticing that Zetsu, Kisame and Kakuzu was present yet, Itachi remained in the hallway acting as look out. Pein stepped aside letting them into his room.
"Well what do you want to talk to us about?" Kisame questioned
"I think you guys know what this is about" Pein replied
"The way the group is being promoted and stuff? Kakuzu mumbled
"Yes that's what I want to discuss with you all."
Both members looked on slightly surprised but they also suspected it could be true especially Kakuzu who tended to observe the way their band had been promoted by the owner. Each of the band members was talented, they each used to get together in Itachi's parents basement and play music. Thanks to Pein he had got them a gig to play a few songs to the crowds and each of them grew excited by it.
Kabuto was the one that approached them and convinced them to meet Orochimaru who wanted to sign them and make them a huge success, he had managed to convince each of them, even convincing Menma who was already big in the acting profession.
"So what do you want us to do about it?" Kisame asked
"Look I think we should work together and look at other options for us as a group I will talk about this to the others about this too, and I need your help convincing them. Pein stated to them all
"We worked hard to get where we are now. Orochimaru doesn't give a shit he only cares about power and himself, I for one won't be party to whatever plans he had decided on. Besides our groups reputation seems to be steadily growing worse when a majority of it isn't true. I have a suspicion that Kabuto hasn't helped in that regard as he's always talking to journalists." Kisame informed.
"Yes i agree with you there...Kabuto is a sly bastard and no way near a manager." Kakuzu replied.
"I agree with Pein we will lose everything if this continues" Zetsu stated calmly.
Kisame and Kauzu nodded in agreement knowing they would lose money, fame and their reputation would be even more smeared which would lead to ruin. The owner with his back handed dealings, they each knew that there was more to it with him and Kabuto knew more than he actually let on to them.
The door opened as Itachi announced calmly that 'Menma was coming' Each member got up and vacated the room to their own apart from Itachi that had remained with Pein. Menma came up sporting a large red blemish on the side of his face that had each of their attention.
"What was you guys talking about?" He asked quietly.
"We had a talk about the group and how it is being run, a few of us are not happy. Besides what happened to your face?" Itachi asked with wide eyes.
Menma looked conflicted something both Pein and Itachi noticed.
"Menma what's wrong?" Pein asked.
"Guys...I have done something that I really regret doing and I don't know what to do I need your help" Menma admitted in a desperate voice.
"What is it...Look just tell us what it is and we can try to help you" Pein answered curious to what it was.
Itachi whilst listening had took his phone to contact his family, the signal to his cell was unreadable which put an end to that and tried to see if he could access his messages.
"The thing is I asked the owner for a favor" Menma stated.
"A favor?...What kind of favor Menma!?"
"Don't tell me it was about that girl Hinata!?" Itachi questioned in shock
Menma remained silent for a few seconds and then nodded.
"What!? Well where is she?" Itachi demanded.
"Wait guys what are we going on about here?" Pein asked.
Itachi and Menma stared at each other, Menma looking pale and Itachi looking angry.
"Orochimaru has brought Hinata Hyuga here and it wasn't by choice." Itachi seethed out.
"What!?" Pein shouted.
"I know I'm stupid for asking I didn't think he would go to such lengths like that, I just really wabted to spend time with her alone. However, seeing her like that scared and upset has unnerved me ok!"
"You had better explain everything to us now Menma" Pein demanded.
Menma nodded sitting on the bed and telling them what had happened back in the room.
oOoOo
A/N:- Hi guys thank you for the reviews! I want to address a few of the comments on the reviews. Alot of you asked why they aren't under investigation?
Well to answer your question the Akatsuki hasn't committed a crime so technically, how can they be under investigation? Hopefully this chapter has cleared up a few things for you all...
Remember that none of the Akatsuki apart from Menma know of his request or that she has been kidnapped? I hope you will understand better from this chapter. Yes Hidan is vulgar but that's Hidan lol, but I won't give too much away all I will tell you is that you will be surprised by the events upcoming so don't jump to conclusions I do it for affect... it is Romance & Drama after all so that's the drama to it.
Any way again thank you to those that have reviewed and I hope you enjoyed this chapter?
Till next chapter guys x
