"The moment you kill him I will crush you." I growl at him. My demon was snarling on the inside wanting to get loose. Itachi was badly injured and I knew if I let loose he could be hurt even more in my rage. I pushed all my anger and rage to the side and concentrated on my connection to the island.
"Better question is what you would do to save him? Would you give yourself up for him?" Itachi looked at me and through our connection he told me to not even think about it.
"If we were anywhere else I would say yes." He frowned at my answer.
"What does being here change anything?" I smile predatorily at him.
"Do you know what is behind you? The heart of the island." He didn't understand but Itachi did.
"You're never going to give Sei to me, are you?" I smirk.
"Hell no." The ground burst opened and they both went flying. Itachi crashed into the heart tree which pulled him in and to safety.
Obito summoned a fire jutsu but I dodged and summoned a water shield. I moved the earth to encase him but he broke out using in fire.
"So this is the power of a demon? Tenshi will tare you apart." Obito laughed only second before I pierced his heart with and an ice spear. I then pinned him against the tree with thick vines.
"Your death will be slow Obito." I walked up and used my demon seal on his chest to prevent resurrection. I sliced his chest open not enough to kill him but so the blood smell is overwhelming.
I then summoned the wolves that lived in the island. I stood back as they approached Obito with blood thirst in their eyes. They attacked and started ripping him apart. His screams were music to my ears. A pulse in my mind reminded me of Itachi who reached out to me. I went into the heart tree and looked down at my injured mate.
"Hinata-" I leaned down and licked the wound on his neck. I stripped him of his shirt and jacket so I could get to his wounds. I straddled him and leaned down and thoroughly licked his bruise to his right shoulder. I moved down to his left rib using my tongue to message all the wounded area.
"Hinata…" His hands tried to pull me up so I summoned vine to pin his hands down so I could finish licking the blood away.
"No fair." Itachi breathed out. I found a cut on his lip and so I crawled up and took his lip into my mouth to suck on it as I stared into his eyes. I let go and licked his jaw clean of the blood that had splattered there.
"Finished." I murmured as I felt no more injures on him. Itachi's eyes shot open.
"You are sure as hell not finished Hinata…" I had healed all his wounds so what was he talking about?
"I cleaned and healed your wounds Itachi." He rolled his eyes and leaned up a few centimetres and kissed me, sticking his tongue in for good measure.
I smiled into the kiss understanding I had aroused him in my healing.
"I think you forgot an injury." Itachi huskily told me. I raised my eyebrow in question. He smirked and lifted his hips to meet mind. I smiled and crawled back on my haunches to remove his pants and take care of his problem all the while never breaking eye contact with my mate.
"Now you are all fully healed ne?" I asked as I nuzzled his neck where my mark resided.
"Hai. We should find Sasuke and sei now." I nodded and undid the binds I had on his hands as I stood up and he looked himself over.
"You really did heal me." He said amazed. I rolled my eyes as my demon instinct receded back.
"Of course I did Itachi. What do you think I was doing?" He smirked at me and through our bond he showed me exactly what he thought I was doing. I laughed and transported us into the main room where Sasuke was teaching Sei a fire jutsu. I knelt before Sei and looked him in the eye.
"It's finished." Sei smiled relived and told Itachi he wanted to show him a new jutsu that Sasuke taught him. I then turned my sights on a sitting Sasuke who was staring happily at Sei and Itachi. I smelt his blood so I came closer and put my hands on his shoulders. He turned to look at me questioningly.
"You're hurt." He shrugged but I would have none of that as I licked the cut on his cheek.
"Do not get me started Hinata." Sasuke warned so I stopped.
"I was healing you." I leaned back and rolled my eyes at the threat. He kissed me hard and quickly before he grabbed me close so we could watch Sei.
"We should head back and see how much damage Obito caused." Sei announced. I got up and showed them the secret passage way that led into the house. Suffice to say when the four of use came out of the closet there was a shriek of surprise. I looked up to see Temari looking at us like we were ghosts. I squirmed out of the dog pile and went to see what was going on. When I got out side I saw the damage to the docks and then Kisume and the others were hurt so I went over and started to heal them but Itachi pulled me back.
"Hinata we don't you want to go around healing other people." I frown at him.
"they are my friends though." He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Yes but having to watch you lick their wounds-" I held my hands up.
"Look when I healed you and Sasuke my demon instinct took over which demanded that you be healed that way… Since the others aren't my mated then I can heal them normally." He nodded showing relief in my explanation. I found Kisume first who looked like he had been tortured with a torch but the others seemed relatively fine.
"I fought the bastard first on the beach, didn't expect him to be able to grow limbs back. the rest got hit with some miasma crap till the fog rose and swallowed that shit up." It took me a while to heal Kisume as the other's scouted the island for anymore Tenshi humans.
"How did he get on the island?" I asked as Shikamaru came to sit beside me when I finished with Kisume.
"One of the merchants smuggled him in. Kisume is tightening security after this." I nodded and sat back watching the village build it self back up.
"Hinata…" Shikamaru trailed off for once not knowing what to say. I looked at my friend and I never felt this much distance between us before. I know Tenshi will come for him and the others and probably even this village.
"Everyone is scared, not just here but I can smell it from the main lands." He nodded and even though there was a shoji board in front of us it went untouched.
"We can't tell anyone Tenshi got to you. You are the last hope we have against him. It would cause nation wide panic Hinata if people thought that-" When he was talking my gut twisted.
"Tell me something I don't know!" I snapped at him and we were silent again.
"I know what I have to do, don't worry about it." I got up and left to find Itachi and Sasuke. I felt the weight of responsibility worm its way through my every fibre and my breath seemed to be coming short.
"Hinata-san" I stopped to see the old man Jiro-san and his daughter that I had met in the park waving at me. I stopped and waited for them to catch up as I forced a smile on my face.
"We heard Tenshi found his way onto the island." Jiro looked concerned. I bent down to see the scared look in the little girls blue eyes.
"Tenshi never set foot on this island I promise. The nin that attacked wasn't Tenshi." I smiled at her and she returned it.
"I know you'll protect us Hinata-sama!" I smile and pat her head as I stand up to look at relieved Jiro.
"The village is counting on you Hinata-san." Jiro smiled and took his grand daughter back toward the village. My smile had fallen off as his words came crashing down on me.
I shook my head and found Sei on the docks handing out orders to a bunch of Nin I didn't recognize. I came closer and they all gaped at me and stopped listening to Sei.
"Stop staring at Hinata and get on your assignments!" They didn't move but some did approach me.
"Hinata-sama it is honour to fight beside you!" They announced. What the hell was going on?
"fight?" I asked them as they shot up to stare at me worriedly.
"We came to fight the Tenshi! We want revenge against the bastard who attacked our villages and we know the only person who could give us the chance is you. When you kill Tenshi we will finally be able to put our revenge to rest and be free." I looked at all the determined faces and I nodded smiling at them.
"I understand." They smiled and took off to do what ever Sei had assigned them to do.
"Do you?" I look down at Sei who was staring at me. I nod but he only narrows his eyes before walking away. I take a deep breath and follow behind him till we see Kisume, Itachi, Sasuke and the others. He stops and I almost run into him but he's staring at me intensely.
"Remember Hinata, you made a promise to me so no matter what you have to win and come back. You better not break your promise Hinata or I will never forgive you." My breath is ragged and pulse races but I hide it with a smile.
"I do understand young master." He nods and we continue walking toward the others. I see a ship in the distance and I knew it was the Kages. I stare out at the ship as everybody is moving around making last minute arrangements but I was stuck. The ship got closer and closer and part of me wanted to run, just run as far as I could go. Was it because my former friends were coming here? Was it because I wanted to kill them?
"Hinata." Sei was staring at the ship that was about to dock any moment.
"Master." My voice seemed to calm him enough to stand tall and stare down the people coming off the giant ship. I stared at him and I felt pride when I thought how much he has accomplished.
"Sei-sama, I have heard a lot about you." I looked away from the boy to see the five kages standing before us. Naruto, Gaara, Iwa, A, mist and their nin all looked at Sei then to me then to the former Akatsuki behind us. The next thing I knew I was in a giant bear hug and I was being twirled about.
