I sigh in frustration at everyone wasting time as I explained for the seventh time, the only thing that keeps me from snapping at them is the hilarious expressions.
"Listen, the more time I spend here the more time your hinata suffers, I don't have long so I need to go tonight."
"Ah but then what do you need us for?"
"I need others there in case I don't make it."
"Are you saying you won't make it out alive?"
"something like that, now I need at least one other person to come with me."
"The rescue mission failed terribly so why should I give my shin obi to you?"
"You don't have to give my anything, I'm asking for volunteers."
"look nobody will-"
"I'll go with you." I turn and I'm not surprised to hear him say it since I've watched him befriend her over the time I wasn't with her.
"Sasuke-kun, you'll get killed!"
I watched him as he didn't even turn his head toward the pinkette. I smile and he nods, he won't abandon her and I knew those two would make great friends.
"Then it's settled I'll take sasuke-kun and he'll bring her back with my help." Tsnaude tried to retort but the third just shook his head at his predecessor.
We walked out side by side and I couldn't help but ruffles the uchiha's hair, he allows me but not with out a mocking scowl.
We drop by his apartment to gather everything he needs and we head toward the gate in silence.
"sasuke-kun!" we stop and let the girl catch up, I looked at her back pack and I hide my smile.
"No Sakura you'll just slow us down." He knew I knew he meant he didn't want her to get hurt but he'd never admit that.
"listen, I didn't know hinata-san that good but if she means a lot to you then I want to help rescue her. I'm not stupid sasuke, I knew if it wasn't for her you would be there instead so I owe her a lot." I turn and start walking toward the gate and it's not long before they join me but I'm surprised to see the blond girl too.
"Like I'd let forehead girl have all the glory." The two started bickering and I just smiled as we broke out into a run toward sound.
Days later we camped on the border of sound and I let them sleep as usual because I really didn't need it. I stiffen from the perch I sat upon as a presence entered the camp, I relaxed as I saw who it was.
"feh, baka's I could kill them and they'd be helpless."
"Not quite Gaara-kun." I dropped and held the kunai to his throat. I could tell he was surprised I had caught him off guard and even more the demon didn't warn him. I backed away to let him looked at me and I just wanted to glomp him as his cheeks turned a pink color.
"Uh, Hinata?"
"Hai, but not your hinata, I'm from I different time line."
"Your going to get her back right?" he looked at me with a stone face but when I looked into those familiar eyes my heart lurched at them and at the hidden vulnerability. I wanted to hug him and tell him everything was ok but he wasn't mine and I don't belong in this place either.
I sigh as I ruffle his hair and kiss him on the forehead as I disappear into the trees and he sits down looking into the fire not blinking. I know were both thinking about her and I know my mind is more creative in what could be happening to her.
I find myself amused as I see Sasuke glare at Gaara but he doesn't say anything, Sakura and Ino talk enough for all of us. We reach the city and the hide out thanks to my eyes and I tell the girls to be quiet as we approach the place. I take us in as I disarm the barrier with out notifying any one and we quickly make our way into the hide out.
"listen, I'll take care of the sanin, Hinata is in the basement, seven doors to the left. Find her and take her home and what ever you do, do not come back here or stop on the way any under circumstances."
"demo, what about you?"
"I don't have the time for you to worry about me. Now go."
I watch them slip away into the darkness, I take my hands out of my pockets and I sigh as I watch them flicker in and out. I don't have much time before I disappear so I focused my eyes to find the snake.
I found him surrounded by test subjects, I cringed at some of their chakra signatures or what was left of them.
I continue my silent assent to the snake as ways of killing him came through my head once again. It wasn't long till I found him and I wanted to finish the quickly but then I was seen by one of his stooges.
"Orochimaru-sama, an intruder is behind you." I quickly make quick work of the stooges with a chakra katana till there was only me, him and the caged experiments.
"hinata-chansss thissss issss a ssssurprise, I wassssn't expecting you sssso ssssoon." I know he knows about me considering I've been stopping the little nins he's been sending every night to collect little me. I watched her and put her to bed when she fell asleep under the tree or when
the hyuuga attempts to try and kill her. It nearly killed me not to do anything when she was fighting Kabuto but I was busy with the sounds attempt to attack.
"your dying snake, why go through this much trouble when you knew I'd hunt you down and kill you all the sooner?"
"Hmm, you'd knowsss when you sssssee her."
I lost my patience and attacked, we dodged and took each other's blows till a voice stopped me dead in my tracks.
"nata!" What I saw made my heat lurch painful as I saw little me in the arms of Gaara looking like death. Of course it only made my thirst for the snakes blood stronger.
He was readying a jutsu as was I and when they collided everything was gone and there was only us before there was nothing but a scream.
I opened my eyes only to be blinded by dark thick smoke, but it didn't matter because even if I looked at myself I knew I was flickering. I collapsed onto my knees on the cold ground smiling at the fact I knew he was dead and I knew she was safe.
'nata!" I was knocked onto my ass, I blinked in confusion at the crying girl in my lap before I put my arms around her tentatively.
"I thought you hated me?"
"No gomen, I don't care about that! I don't want you to go anywhere, I want you to stay with me, please!" I held her close and I ignored the other two presence's as they watched from the side lines.
"Gomen ne little one but I can't do that. I have to go."
"no please, I don't want to go back! I don't want to be alone!"
"Oi brat, I love you like a daughter but I can't stay here. I need you to make your future bright and you need to make the choices you think best for you."
I knew I only had minutes before I faded out so I used all my strength to make my body whole to give her one last hug and whisper one last thing in her ear. It only lasted about 30 seconds but that was enough for me as I gave one last squeeze before I faded into nothing .But not before I saw him surrounded in a white light with a child in his arms waiting for me and I went to him willingly. Hmm is this my reward white?
