ATTENTION: Just to clear something up, Hinata is NOT pregnant. She only got sick in the last chapter because of anxiety. The same thing happens to me when I get anxious; it's pretty common actually. So yeah, once again, she is NOT pregnant. Nor do I plan on making her pregnant. Hidan and she literally just had sex for the first time a few hours beforehand. Even if the possibility of her becoming pregnant was put into to play, she wouldn't be experiencing any morning sickness until about two weeks or so after the ovulation process. So making her being sick due to pregnancy isn't even relevant that soon afterwards. Not against the idea of her becoming pregnant with little Jashinist babies, just not for this story. On that note, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I had absolutely nothing better to do today, which is why this chapter is already finished even though I just posted the previous one two days ago. Plus, I really wanted to address the pregnancy question and nip it in the butt before it got any further.

Descent Into Darkness

Chapter 8

"I hope you're fucking ready for this. And just because you're cute, it doesn't mean that I'm gonna go easy on you," Hidan told her. "But I promise that I won't kill you."

Hinata swallowed the lump in her throat. "O-Okay..."

Hidan had brought to her the Akatsuki's vast training grounds, ready to start their first session. He walked over to a table which contained a few ninja tools and some first aid supplies.

"I'm not giving you any weapons to use," he told her as he strapped a kunai holster to his thigh. "But you will be expected to dodge the ones I throw at you."

Hinata nodded nervously. "Alright."

The Jashinist smirked. "Don't look so worried. I already told you that I wasn't going to kill fucking kill you." He put on a weapons pouch, then walked over to the visibly scared girl. "I know that you'll be able to dodge this shit with your Bakugan or whatever the fuck it is. But I want you to activate it for now."

She did as she was told, not bothering to correct him. Her heart was pounding in anticipation, both excited and apprehensive over what was about to come. She knew that she would probably be able to easily dodge whatever projectiles he threw at her, but she didn't know what else he would be planning.

Hidan quirked an eyebrow, noticing that she was trembling. "The more afraid you are, the more likely you are to make a mistake. Calm the fuck down."

"I-I'm sorry," Hinata apologized meekly. "I'm j-just used to training with my father...and it never went well with him..."

"Well, I'm not your fucking dad," he replied, giving her breast a squeeze. "I don't know what his fucking methods are, but I have my own. I'm going to beat the fear and hesitation right out of you." He grinned deviously, sending a chill down her spine. "Now, let's begin."

He jumped back away from her, putting some distance in between them. His face was serious, and Hinata watched him carefully, waiting for him to make his first move. Hidan reached behind him, grabbing a few ninja tools from his pouch and hurling them at her. He would start her off with something simple, but the intensity would escalate quickly. She had no idea what she was in for.

Hinata jumped out of the way, her Byakugan allowing her to easily see the projectiles coming towards her. He threw several more at the girl, satisfied with her ability as she flipped and avoided the tools. No doubt that she didn't need any practice in that area.

"Good. Now deactivate your eyes. I can see that you can do just fucking fine with them, so let's see how you do without your Bakugan," he told her.

"Um, it's Byakugan..." she murmured feebly, deactivating them.

Hidan didn't seem to hear her, and immediately started throwing another set of weapons at her. Hinata jumped out of the way, but he wasn't finished. To her surprise, he had dashed over to her, using the weapons to distract her as he kicked her in the torso. The girl flew back several feet, landing on the ground with a thud.

"Get up," he told her sternly. "You need to practice fighting without your eyes to help you. I mean, if you ever get fucking attacked and something happens to your eyes, you're screwed. This will help you if something like that ever fucking happens."

Hinata slowly stood up, feeling a dull pain throbbing in her abdomen. She took a deep breath, now more on guard for physical attacks. Hidan reached into his pouch again and hurled another half dozen shuriken at her. Trying to watch both the incoming projectiles and her attacker at the same time, she managed to avoid the weapons while simultaneously blocking his neck kick. Thinking quickly, she struck one of the chakra points in his arm.

"The fuck was that?" he asked her, feeling a strange tingling sensation as she released his arm. "Feels fucking weird."

"I-I cut off one of your chakra points," she explained.

Hidan smirked. "Pretty smart of you. That will be useful to you in an actual battle."

They kept up the same procedure for the next five minutes, with Hidan throwing weapons at her while trying to land a physical blow at the same time. Hinata was able to block or dodge his attacks each time, until Hidan was content with her abilities. He would kick it up a notch.

Hinata's eyes narrowed slightly. What was he thinking? Whatever it was, she felt uneasy about it. Hidan ran full speed at her, causing her to gasp and jump back. He hurled more tools her way, then grabbed a kunai from his holster. As she dodged the shuriken, he stepped out of her field of vision, getting ready for his next move. Hinata felt a wave of panic as he disappeared from her sight, quickly turning so that she could see him. She moved to late and cried out as she felt the kunai slice into her forehead, above her left eye. Blood trickled down into her eyes, blinding her. She whimpered and tried to wipe the stinging sensation away, unable to see anything. A powerful kick was delivered into her side, and she was thrown onto the ground.

"Now that you can't see shit, you can't block or dodge any of my attacks," Hidan told her as she lay on the ground, holding her torso and while trying to wipe her eyes at the same time. "That was kind of dick move on my part, but you need to learn how to fight if you temporarily blinded." He grabbed one of her wrists and roughly pulled her up so that she was standing. "Now get ready."

Hinata's eyes were shut tight, the blood stinging them horribly, and there was nothing she could do about it until she was able to clean them out. For the first time in her life, she was unable to see any incoming attacks. The thought alone terrified her. But then again, what did she expect with an Akatsuki member training her?

She waited for what seemed like an eternity, trying to listen for Hidan's attacks. The punch to her stomach sent her doubling over, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. I didn't even hear him coming, she thought to herself.

"I'm obviously not going to make any noise for you to listen to," he informed her. "You'll have to learn how to recognize your opponents by sensing their chakra. And we're going to do this until you get it. Even if I have to beat the fuck out of you in the process."

Hinata whimpered and felt him grab the front of her shirt, forced to stand up once again. She was already in so much pain, and she had only been hit a few times.

"Your stamina sucks and needs a lot of fucking work." Hidan allowed himself a good look at her cleavage. "If you can't handle physical pain, then you're more likely to die in an actual fight. You're going to get your share of bruises, broken bones, cuts, and all the bloody damage in between. But by the time I'm done with you, you'll have enough skill to wipe out just about anyone who fucks with you."

Hinata nodded silently, his words both encouraging and nerve-wracking at the same time. They had only started a little while ago, but it felt like hours. However, she knew he was right, and she ignored the pain as best as she could. If she had to fight him blind, then she would have to make the most of it.

Hidan released his hold on her top, then put some distance in between them. "I want you to concentrate on my chakra and stop my next attack. So get ready."

The girl waited for a few seconds, trying her hardest to concentrate on his chakra. It was difficult and she had trouble figuring out exactly which direction he would be coming from. His next attack came quickly, and Hinata barely picked up a few traces of chakra in the process. She managed to partially block out his attack, but was unable to stop it completely and fell backwards as his kick made contact with her.

"Again," Hidan growled, pulling her up. "We're going to keep doing this until you get it."

Little by little, Hinata gradually got the hang of sensing his chakra and stopping his kicks and punches. However, she still accumulated a fair amount of cuts and bruises, and her closed eyes stung more than ever from the blood that had seeped into them. She wished that he would at least let her wipe them out.

"Soon," he told her, as if reading her mind. "I warned you that this would be serious training. But I gotta hand it to you for not bitching or whining like some of the other guys do."

Hinata stopped his next punch, cupping his fist in her hand while she retaliated by striking another chakra point. Her body hurt all over, but she refused to give up.

"Hidan Sempai!"

She immediately recognized Tobi's voice and she heard Hidan's audible groan of annoyance. The masked man was excitedly waving to them, running as fast as he could before he tripped over his own feet and face-planted.

"Tobi, what the fuck do you want?" Hidan snapped, in no mood to deal with him.

"I just wanted to come by and work on my training," he replied cheerfully as he scrambled up.

The silver-haired man rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Just stay the fuck out of our way."

"No problem! I will train over here!" Tobi scooped a few ninja tools from the table and moved several feet away. "I'm going to work on my target practice."

"I don't fucking care," Hidan scoffed, then returned his attention back to Hinata, who was panting with exhaustion. "You ready?"

She nodded, concentrating on his chakra when he began to move towards her. It was becoming more clear as he drew closer and she waited for him to strike. She sidestepped his punch, then grabbed his arm with one hand while driving her other into his stomach. Although the blow wasn't powerful enough to hurt him, Hidan was pleasantly surprised that she had put forth the effort to counter. They repeated the process for another ten minutes, and each time the outcome was what the Jashinist had been aiming for.

"Now that's more like it. It looks like you got the hang of this part of the training," he said with a smirk. "I'll let you wash your eyes out."

As he went to fetch her bottle of water, Hinata fell to her knees. She felt so drained of energy, but was pleased with her progress. And for someone with a bad temper, Hidan hadn't really given her any condescending remarks like her father normally did. He was strict, but at least he hadn't called her useless or pathetic. That alone had given more confidence during the training.

"I gotta admit, I didn't think that you'd catch on so quick." Hidan dropped down beside her and handed her a cloth that was soaked with water. "Pretty impressive. But now the real training begins."

Hinata carefully wiped the blood out of her eyes, wincing as she did so. "R-Real training?"

"That was just a fucking warm-up," the Jashinist replied. "All you did was practice something that you should've already known how to do."

After cleaning away the blood so she could see again, Hinata went to dab away the blood that continued to lightly trickle from the cut on her forehead. However, Hidan took the cloth away from her and roughly pulled her up.

"I just told you to wipe the blood out of your eyes. I never told you to clean up the rest," he remarked. "Now, let's work on that non-existent stamina of yours."

Yet before they could start anything, Hidan suddenly yelled. "Fucking son of a fucking bitch!"

Hinata jumped back, startled by his sudden outburst. What's wrong? Did I do something? Hidan turned slightly, and they could see that there was a kunai embedded into the left side of his ass. He yanked it out, just as Tobi rushed over.

"Sorry Hidan Sempai! I meant to hit the target, not your butt!" The masked man explained nervously.

"Tobi," Hidan hissed, his eyes narrowed as he began to stalk over to him with deadly intent. "I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!"

"Wait, wait, wait! It was an accident!" Tobi backed away, before taking off in a sprint.

Hidan went after him, looking as though he would murder him. "GET THE FUCK BACK HERE, YOU LITTLE BASTARD! I'M GOING TO FUCKING MUTILATE YOU!"

"NOOOO!"

Hinata watched silently as the Jashinist chased around Tobi, unsure of what to do. Tobi was begging for his life to be spared, while Hidan roared several death threats mixed in with obsceneties. When he finally caught up to the clumsy masked man, he grabbed him by the throat, then shoved him against a tree.

Hinata rushed over, while Tobi was squirming and trying to free himself. Hidan held the bloody kunai that had had stabbed him and raised it up to use on Tobi. However, before he could, Hinata grabbed hold of his arm to stop him.

"Hidan, please don't kill him," she pleaded, staring up at him with scared eyes. "I-It was an accident."

"I'm so sorry Sempai!" Tobi added. "Pleeeaaase don't kill meee!"

The silver-haired male looked at Hinata, his face red with rage. The girl whimpered in fear, but held onto his arm regardless.

"Please," she whispered meekly.

Hidan found himself unable to resist her plea as she gazed up at him, her pretty face expressed with worry. Fucking dammit... He reluctantly released Tobi, trying to calm himself down.

"Oh, thank you Sempai!" Tobi said gratefully.

Hidan glared at him, his violet eyes filled with malice. "The next time that happens, I'm going to fucking sacrifice your ass." He let the kunai fall to the ground, prompting Hinata to let go of his arm. She followed him back to the area that they had been training, surprised that he had listened to her.

I never fucking listen to anyone. Why did I listen to her? Hidan glanced at the indigo-haired girl, confused as to what he was feeling. It was...strange... He was attracted to her, that was no secret. But he started to feel something else that he had never felt before. What the hell was it?

"H-Hidan? Are you okay?" Hinata asked him timidly, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"I'm fucking fine," he replied gruffly. "Let's continue to work on your stamina."

An hour later, Hinata had finally reached her limit and collapsed onto the ground. She had endured numerous hits from the Jashinist, and her body was covered with cuts and bruises. Hidan decided that she'd had enough for the day and ended the session.

"You alright there?" He asked, sitting down beside her. "I didn't go that fucking rough on you."

She didn't respond, void of all energy as she lay on her back. Hidan tossed a wet cloth over at her, allowing her to clean up the rest of the blood on her forehead.

"Just so you know, we'll be doing this tomorrow again. And it's going to be twice as fucking intense," he said, smirking.

Great... Hinata winced, dabbing at the cut and surrounding area. When she was done, Hidan told her to get up and that they were going back to his room. Hinata slowly followed him as they left the training grounds. She lagged behind him, her body practically screaming in pain. Hidan glanced back every now and again to make sure she wasn't too far behind.

"Hurry the fuck up," he grumbled, still ticked off from Tobi's stupid little stunt.

Hinata quickened her pace to catch up to him, only to accidentally pitch forward. She grabbed onto his arm to steady herself, then immediately let go of him as if she had touched something hot.

"S-Sorry," she stammered, her blushing face cast down as she continued her way to his room.

Deciding it would be less of a hassle, Hidan picked her up and carried her the rest of the way. To his surprise, she cuddled against him, her cheek against his chest. Once they had reached the bedroom, Hidan kicked the door shut. He put Hinata down and told her to start running a bath, then locked the door behind him. He wanted to make sure that nobody would bother them.

Just to warn you, the next chapter will be a bit dark and contains some violence, as well as a lemon. It will be out in a few days. Review and as usual, I will get it done as quickly as I can.
