Hinata ran down the hall trying to catch up with Kisame. She turned a corner full speed and slammed into a hard chest. "Look out next time! Blueberryhead?"

Hinata looked up at Hidan, "H-Hidan-San Please take me to Kakuzu please!"

Hidan looked shocked, "You didn't pick that cheapskate!" Hidan began to rant before Hinata could speak, "I Knew we should have just fought for you! Even Tobi would have been better than that stitched lunatic! You are one dumb #$&%,"

"HIDAN" A voice behind Hinata yelled, "She didn't choose me."

Hidan suddenly looked confused, "Who did she choose. Why was the &#...Blueberryhead looking for you?"

"Sh-she was…," Kakuzu's eyes were wide with shock. He quickly changed the subject, "She chose Zetzu."

"Plant-Man?" Hidan snickered, "Didn't you fall on him a million times?"

"T-that was just because I was being tossed around." Hinata tried to stand taller. She was only 5, 6 though…Hidan must have been at least 6, 5 and Kakuzu looked like he was 6, 10 maybe even taller. Wow she felt short.

Hidan eyed Kakuzu and asked, "Why were you looking for Kakuzu anyways Blueberryhead-kun?"

Hinata answered embarrassed, "W-well I-I," She through a desperate look at Kakuzu.

"It's none of your business Hidan." Kakuzu interrupted to Hinata's relief, "Maybe I should get Fang to recite that curse again."

Hidan actually gulped and said, "N-no it's none of my business so don't tell me!" The white hair then ran off.

Hinata looked at the stitched up man in confusion. "One of our old members sister turned Hidan into a girl once," Kakuzu smirked under his mask.

"W-who?" Hinata's eyes became even wider and cocked her head in curiosity

"Hmm? She used to be Zetzu's partner until she betrayed us. Now she's in the dungeon." He suddenly paused and stared down at Hinata thinking, "She's in the only one we keep alive in the S-rank section. Her friend is also down there. I believe her name is Ester. She, Pein, Konan, Itachi, and Zetzu know where she is. Pein and Zetzu have a key to her door. Be a shame if she escaped from that cell. She might be able to escape the base since she used to be a member."

"W-why" Hinata whispered as she realized what Kakuzu suggested.

"Why, what?" Kakuzu asked as innocently as a stitched up man could and dropped something on the floor, "Woops," Then he walked away without glancing back.

Taking a deep breath Hinata picked up the key on the ground and headed for the basement dungeon.

Once in the first section Hinata had to ask someone where the S-rank section was.

"Hey! You back!" Ester bad Japanese reached Hinata's ears.

"H-h-hello E-Ester," Hinata smiled and greeted the exited curly head, "Where the S-r-rank section is?"

"Oh," Ester saddened, "That's where…she is. Last time I seen her went in. It is On other side of D door." The light burnet pointed to a door marked D-ranks,"

"Thank you Ester," Hinata whispered and smiled and felt tears come to her eyes at the thought of seeing Kiba and Shino again.

"Welcome. You call me Essie," Essie stated.

Hinata left Essie and entered the D-rank room. After a few wolf whistles from the few people in the Cells, Hinata reached a steel door marked S-ranks.

The door was unlocked. Inside there were three doors not including the one Hinata had entered through. All these doors were steel with a few bars to allow air inside. Now the blue-haired softy just had to find the correct cell.

"Umm hello?" Hinata called meekly

"Mm," A groaning sound groaned.

Hinata walked to the end of the hall and discovered the door to be locked. Taking out the key Kakuzu had 'dropped' Hinata shakily unlocked and opened the door.

Inside there was a women. She had brown hair grown down to her ankles. She was Suspended in mid-air by chains facing down. She had shackled hands, wrists, mouth, chest, waist, and ankles. She looked (By what Hinata could see) to be 38 years old.

She lifted her head to look who had entered, "Hello," She said in a crackling voice.

"H-hi, u-um," Hinata stuttered unsure how to ask her question, "Are you the person who was part Aktasuki, b-b-but then…betrayed them and was captured?"

"Yup," The female answered

"Oh, well I g-guess that's g-good," Hinata said, "Um, what's your name?"

"Fang," She said smiling under her steel mask, "My turn, why are you here?"

"Umm, I was just hoping y-you could help me escape," Hinata held up her key

"Brake the chains then. These stupid shackles don't have locks except on my mouth," Fang shook her head as much as she could to signal taking the mask off first.

"Okay," Hinata said still unsure if she could trust Fang. What other choice did she have if she wanted to see her family and friends again?

So Hinata unlocked the steel mouth mask to reveal very chapped lips, "Back up littleun," Fang commanded, so Hinata did.

Fire burst from Fang's mouth and from curving her head she managed to melt the chains and shackled on her hands and wrist.

"Are you an Uchiha?" Hinata asked staring at the flame now being aimed at the next set of chains.

"Are they the only ones allowed to have fire attributes? And no I am not." Fang stopped the fire flow for a minute to respond.

Hinata looked down in embarrassment. It was true there were a lot of other fire users. It was just powerful bloodlines were usually in the Aktasuki.

Once all the chains and shackles were melted Fang led Hinata back into the villager's cell room.

"Essie!" Fang Scream whispered.

"Fang!" Ester Scream whispered back.

'Funny how the both of them act like children' Hinata thought.

Fang sliced open the bars with fire and Ester joined their group.

The brown haired girl led Hinata and Essie first upstairs then down the long stone corridors.

"%#% &%$*," A cursing voice was heard around a corner.

Hinata dove into the closest door followed by Fang and Essie. As they listened to Hidan passing, Hinata noticed Fang gaping at the room they were in. Hinata turned and realized they were in Zetzu's room. Mostly because Zetzu was watering the plants!

"Fang, Hinata, and Ester," Zetzu whispered in a combination of both sides.

"Z-Z-Zetsu-kun," Hinata stuttered begging with her eyes for Zetzu to remain quiet.

Instead of alerting the others of Aktasuki Zetzu walked to the other side of the room. He picked up a laptop from the side table. "Don't forget your treasure again," He whispered handing it to Fang, "Good bye for now. Little Blueberry." Zetzu said his attention now on Hinata.

In response Hinata was on the bridge of tears. She threw her arms around the walking Salad and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then she said, "Thank you and goodbye."

"The hall clear. So go? Lets!" Ester whispered with her ear to the door.

Hinata, Fang, and Ester left with Fang leading them down the corridors. Fang broke into a smile as they turned for the fifteenth time. Hinata could tell why as she felt a slight breeze ruffle her hair. And then they saw a wall of light. Fang disappeared into it. Then Hinata rammed the wall. It was blinding, but to feel the sun on her pale sun made Hinata feel alive again. Essie followed out of breath from running that long. In fact they were all out of breath.

Hinata leaned down and felt the green grass.

"Hinata where do you come from?" Fang asked her smile disappearing with the silence.

"The Village Hidden in the Leaves," Hinata stated confidently, "Where are we?"

"South of the Village hidden in the Sand. So we have to go that way," Fang pointed towred a direction and leapt into the trees.

"Fang!" Ester complained into the trees clumsily.

"Oh," Hinata realized Ester was not even a Genin. So this was going to be a long journey.

Hinata had just come back from fishing. Now she was ready to cry again. For in their chosen resting spot was Kisame. The gilled man was inspecting the leaf beds Fang had made. Luckily Fang had had to go to the bathroom and Ester was gathering sticks for a small fire.

The blue haired girl was now watching the blue haired man smelling and searching their resting spot. Suddenly he melted into water. It was a water clone!

"Blueberry-kun?" He question directly behind her.

"Kisame-kun." She whispered not moving

He rested his large head on her head. "Did you escape? Am I going to have to bring you back Itachi?"

"I already have chosen," Hinata spoke very calmly even though her heart rate was double its normal speed, "I chose Zetzu even though you were my second choice."

"Really? That's great!" Kisame grinned, "Now I'll have to win ya from a plant! Which do you like better fish or salad anyways? Or do dislike both?"

"That's how I decided," Hinata's calmness was beginning to fade as the little part of her that had been in tears was coming out of shock, "I n-need to get back to my family K-Kisame-kun,"

"Why?" He whined, "We can be your new family! Besides I'm too selfish to let you go!"

As suddenly as had appeared he disappeared. Hinata guessed this was due to the fire knife's flying over her head.

"Fang!?" Kisame's voice came from one of the many trees in the dense forest, "Hinata you let Fang out? No wonder, How else could you have navigated trough all those cursed halls."

Fang leapt past with Ester on her back, so Hinata followed. They could hear Kisame behind us. Hinata activated her Byakugan and hoped for any other ninja from any Hidden village to be patrolling this section of land.

It had been two hours and Kisame seemed to have endless Stamina. Hinata and Fang were running on pure Adrenaline.

"Ahh!" Hinata cried out as a grove in the branch caught her foot.

"Hinata!" Fang and Ester screamed in unison. Then Fang threw Ester to the next branch and made her go to the Leaf Village for help.

"Don't touch her Kisame," Fang growled jumping down over Hinata's scratched up body, "Crap your bleeding," She whispered to the unconscious Hinata.

Kisame had frozen his eyes wide. He leapt down bloodlust in his eyes. "What a pretty smell," Kisame groaned stumbling towards Hinata.

"You're going more Cannibalistic than Zetzu," Fang said as he swaggered as if he was about to fall and start crawling, "Or should I say more drunk than Hidan?"

"I'm not drunk! It's just the blood smells so good!" Kisame bellowed

"Ahh," A piercing scream interrupted their argument.

"Essie!" Fang bellowed, "I'm sorry Hinata I have more commitment to my friend then you. I know Kisame won't kill you." With that Fang leapt away to come to her best friend's aid.

Luckily that earlier bellow aroused Hinata.

"Wha-what? Kisame?" Hinata sat up and trembled as she felt the stings of her cut, "Is there something wrong?" She asked as she noticed his strange walk. Then something occurred to her. She was covered In her blood.

"Hinata you smell really good." Kisame purred and collapsed in front of Hinata, "It's making you seem even more attractive then you were."

O, yeah Kisame had lost it.

"Kisame I h-have to g-go b-back to m-m-my f-family." Hinata tried to explain, but was stuttering badly at the sight of the crazed Kisame.

"Why are you afraid Blueberry?" Kisame whined and twisted himself around. Then flopped his head on Hinata's lap, "I thought I told you not to be afraid of me."

"Y-you are taking me to a cave full o-of S-rank c-criminals," Hinata suggested trying to buy time for a plan of escape.

"True, but I'll protect you Hinata-kun!" Kisame leapt up and scooped Hinata into his arms, "Even if your covered In b-blood." Kisame held his head back as if trying to restrain himself.

This seemed like the best time to escape than any other. Hinata put a good amount of her energy into one hand. She tensed her body ready to strike.

"Why are you so tense Hinata-kun?" Asked Kisame bring his face closer again and getting a fresh smell of blood, "Sweet little blueberry."

Kisame smashed his lips against Hinata's. He pulled her closer to his body. Hinata lost control of her chakra in shock. She pushed against his chest and he released her. "K-K-Kisame! I can't" Hinata pleaded and burst into tears of frustration.

Kisame looked up and avoided her eyes. "I can't stand you crying Hinata-kun," He said in a rumbling, angered voice.

"I-I-I'm s-s-s-sorry!" Hinata kept repeating as she couldn't stop the stream of tears rolling down her face.

Hinata felt Kisame's huge hand on her shoulder. He cracked something around her neck and Hinata blacked out.

Akamaru trotted back from taking care of business (If ya know what I mean). The huge dog stopped as he smelled a sweet sent that he had been missing. Blue haired Onee-san was back! The shaggy dog broke out into a sprint. Coming to the smell he found his favorite Onee-san propped up on a tree trunk covered in blood!

"ARR!" Akamaru whined as he licked Hinata's wounds. She was defiantly unconscious.

He picked her up like a pup and made his way into the city. Making sure her hands and feet didn't drag. Which was easy since he was huge.

"What do you have Akamaru?" Akamaru trotted to his Onii-san, Kiba.

"Ruff!" Akamaru explained about Onee-san being by the tree trunk.

"Shino, come here!" Kiba yelled

"Yes?" Shino asked and then spotted Hinata, "Hinata! He says as their lost friend is found."

Hinata stirred after Kiba's older sister had healed some of her wounds. As soon as she had opened her eyes she was smothered in dog licks and hugs.

"H-hello," Hinata whispered not believing she was finally back with her team. In her mind she thanked Kisame.

Done! The last chappie is done. Please review. Please review. You can flame if you really need to. Happy and sad to have this done, but now I have to finish the Curse. Thanks to all the last and future reviewers 3 B-bye for now.
