"Hi…Hinata…please…don't…I never meant…"

"Just shut up you pathetic piece of trash! You think you're all that because you have long pretty pink hair. Well news flash Sakura, you're nothing compared to me. In fact, I'm sure Sasuke would agree that I'm more of a lay than you'll ever be." Sasuke came around the corner and placed his arm around Hinata's waist pulling her close. He licked the side of her cheek and grinned.

"How's my princess?"

"Mmm…that feels good. I'm doing wonderful darling now that you're back."

"Sa…Sasuke?" Sakura sat back against the tree apparently horrified by what she was seeing. "Oh…oh Sasuke…how could you?" she whispered through sobs.

"I told you Sakura. You were once the head princess in the village. Times change and so have I. Sasuke belongs to me now!" She jerked away from Sasuke and started towards Sakura slowly, a look of pure hate in her eyes.

"No…Hinata…please…what are you…?" Hinata took out a shurigan and held it to the side of her waving it in the cool night air.

Kill her Hinata…

"Hinata…that's…that's not Sasuke! That's Oro…" Hinata tossed the shurigan at Sakura, slitting her throat cleanly. The blood began to pour from the cut immediately. Sakura's eyes widened but when she tried to speak, nothing but blood poured from her mouth and she fell over limp with death. Hinata bent over and licked Sakura's lips from where the blood had splattered transversely on her face.

"Mmm…very good Hinata. I see you're going to make me proud." Hinata turned around to see—not Sasuke but Orochimaru smiling down at her, a smug look about his face.

"Hinata! Wake up! Snap out of it!" Hinata's eyes fluttered open only to see Neji leaning over her. "Are you alright?" he asked, his face pale with fright. Hinata sat up and looked around wildly.

"Um…what's…where…I mean…"

"Shh…it's ok princess. You're safe…I mean…" Hinata threw her arms around Neji and hugged him tight.

"Cousin…something's…I had a terrible dream," she sobbed.

"I…heard you dreaming...screaming rather. It appears that you sort of cast your own gen jutsu in your dream. It took me a while to find you but never mind that. You have to go. Kilik is looking for you and it's getting late. I'm allowed to escort you to the guest house so you can dress for dinner. There's a banquet being held tonight in honor of your engagement," he said stiffly as he helped Hinata to her feet. Hinata's face twisted in fury and she could feel the anger surging through her body. Kilik…Engagement…For a brief second she felt as if she could kill someone, the power coursing through her system but she quickly shook the thought.

"Uh…right," she replied weakly. Neji nodded his head and they quickly sped off towards the guest house.

An hour later both Neji and Sasuke were seated at a long table in the village square patiently awaiting the arrival of Hinata and her fiancé. Sasuke looked around trying to find something to entertaining but found his eyes glued to Neji who seemed to not have a care in the world. His eyes were closed and his arms were folded across his chest.

"Figures," Sasuke muttered. His thoughts were interrupted by the fanfare announcing the arrival of the guests of honor. Coming down the stairs with arms linked were Hinata and Kilik. Kilik looked very pleased with himself while Hinata looked as though she'd rather drop dead. Kilik ushered her to a seat across from her cousin and then proceeded to sit in the seat next to hers. A moment later Hiashi, Kendrik and Kazecage Jai entered and sat in adjacent seats; Lord Kazecage at one end of the table and Hiashi at the other. Sasuke rolled his eyes and settled in for what promised to be a long, dysfunctional evening.

-------

The servants started bringing out covered dishes as everyone else at the table began to congratulate the happy couple. Every now and then Hinata would cut a Neji a look but because he didn't wish to anger her father he would only look away. Oh cousin… Hinata surveyed the people at the table between bites of fish. Kilik did indeed seem pleased with himself. This pissed Hinata off. She felt as though Kilik had no reason to feel proud of himself. What he did to Neji in her eyes was unforgivable. Hmp…you'll get yours soon. Just you wait. The thought pleased her as her attention was drawn to another individual—Kendrik. Kendrik had not said a word the entire dinner. In fact, he was probably the only other people besides Sasuke and Neji who disliked the idea of a wedding. Hinata guessed that he could feel her eyes for his head shot up quickly and his eyes met hers. He smiled weakly before stuffing his face with food. Wonder what that's all about…

"It's settled then. Wedding will be in two days," Hiashi'a voice boomed. "I will send word to Tsunade for the reception shall take place in my home village."

"That is fine," Jai replied.

"WHAT? HUH?" Hinata shot her father a looked but he only smiled.

"Hinata darling, weren't you listening?"

"Uh…"

"We were just all making sure that the wedding date was set in concrete. We bumped it up by a day since the workers have everything they need for the big day. All the decorations have been shipped and so has your dress and food."

Hinata's face went pale and she slumped down in her chair. Damn. So soon…She looked up to see Neji, his eyes full of…could it be…that he was…hurt by this news? She brushed the thought and sat up straight in her chair. Something had to be done but what? She did not wish to marry Kilik that much she was sure of but if not Kilik then who? She was still kind of curious to what kind of relationship she could have with Sasuke yet for some reason he wasn't as appealing anymore. Right now, her only thoughts were that of Neji, her own flesh and blood. All she could think about was the way they used to be as kids…how close they were long ago.

--

"Hinata, it's okay if you have a boyfriend. In fact, uncle said that it's best that you start getting along with some of the guys here. You know, someday you'll have to marry and take over as the leader of the family."

"But Neji…I…I'm only 10 and Kiba…He's not my…"

"Oh I know, but I'm just saying." He laughed and poked Hinata on the nose before turning to leave.

"Hey…Neji?"

"Yes?" He turned around to face a distraught looking Hinata. He ran over to her and pulled her close.

"Hey…what's wrong?"

"Neji, I can't…I mean…I still…But father told me not to but I can't help it…"

"Shh," he whispered running his fingers down her back. "I know, but we can't…"

"But father…he doesn't have to know!"

"If we keep breaking the rules then I…" Hinata silenced her cousin by kissing his cheek and running back towards the village…

---

"Hinata!" Hinata jumped and almost fell out of her seat. She looked over at her father who had this concerned look upon his face.

"Yes?" she managed.

"Are you…?"

"I'm fine. Can I…be excused?" she asked impatiently. He stared at her curiously for a second before nodding.

"Yes, but Kilik is going to escort you back to your room. I'll see you in the morning princess."

"Whatever," she mumbled. Kilik walked over and linked his arm within Hinata's and they walked along. The last thing Hinata would remember is seeing her cousin's bewildered look and Sasuke's mischievous grin.

Hinata and Kilik walked down the path towards the guest house in complete silence. Neither one was in a good mood and both had other things they'd rather be doing. Kilik had thoughts of Hinata and Neji on the brain while Hinata was just ready to get to bed.

"Hey Hinata…do you hate me that much?" She stopped in her tracks and turned to face him.

"Why…why would you even think that? Did I tell you that I hated you?"

"No but I just get the feeling that you don't like me very much. That's all."

"I don't hate you but after what you did to my cousin I just don't know anymore," she responded hotly. Kilik just smirked and continued to walk along.

"Funny how a woman gets pissed at her future husband for wanting to protect what's rightfully his."

"I didn't realize I was for sale."

"I never said you were and anyway, that's not what I meant." He turned around and eyed her teasingly, undressing her body with his eyes. "It's only fitting that the husband-to-be gets first dibs on the pussy." Hinata's face started to burn.

"Why you…" Kilik just laughed harder and then slowly started approaching her, his eyes filled with hunger. "Keep away from me," Hinata demanded. She could feel her voice weakening and her body began to shake with fury.

"Oh so Neji can have a taste but not me…your fiancé?" He grabbed both her arms and slammed her onto the ground, parting her legs as he nestled between them.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Hinata screamed but he only chuckled.

"Shut your mouth princess before I really have to hurt you. I'm not going to take…much." He kissed her neck roughly before tasting her lips. She tried to bite him but using some kind of paralysis jutsu, he froze her body so that she could not move at all. "Aw, sorry princess but you left me no choice. Now that you are still I can take a little and have you home before it gets too late."

He kissed her lips once more but this time more gently since she could not protest.This son-of-a-bitch…A hand wandered over her chest, squeezing her breasts gently. Hinata's body was now on fire. She wanted to scream out in pain but she couldn't find her voice.

Do it Hinata…you know you want too…I gave you the power now use it…

Hintata cried out as the pain continued to course through her body; Her cries turned to moans as the pain started to recede and the power rejuvenating. By this time, Kilik had a finger under her skirt fingering her thinking that she was crying out in response to his touch. He stopped with his fingering and slipped out of his shorts, revealing his manhood. He smiled eagerly as he settled himself in between her legs, stopping right at the entrance of her special place.

"I knew you'd give in sooner or later." He leaned over and kissed her neck only to feel Hinata squirm underneath him. "It's no use princess. You won't be able to get out of this jutsu so you may as well accept the fact that…"

NOW HINATA!!!

Hinata's eyes flashed red as she grasped Kilik by the throat tossing him several feet away. She stood to her feet eyeing her opponent. Kilik stood up too, quickly sliding his shorts up and glaring at her.

"What the hell girl?"

That's right my sweet…do it…

Hinata ran at Kilik but he quickly got out of the way, landing behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and attempted to toss her but failed miserably as she elbowed him in the stomach. He was about to retreat but she spun around, grabbed his head with both hands, and tossed it into a nearby tree knocking him out.

Finish him!

Hinata reached in the pocket of Kilik, who was now slumped over at the base of a tree, and pulled out a kunai knife. She studied it for a moment as it gleamed in the moonlight and without another thought, drove it into the chest of Kilik. He screamed in pain for several seconds before taking his last breath and falling to his side. Hinata immediately fell to her knees, the pain in her neck spreading throughout her body. Seconds later she passed out onto the ground next to a dead Kilik.

"Just as I figured my Lord. The power that you gave to Hinata is just too strong. If she doesn't start using it then she could die." Kabuto kneeled down in front of his master awaiting further instructions.

"I am well aware of that Kabuto. Anyway I think it's time we make our move."

I'm coming for you princess…
