Sasukes POV:
"I'm here to see Hiashi" I told the guard at the front of the Hyuga compound. They eyeballed me suspiciously considering it was about eight at night now and dark out.
"Its late, come back tomorrow" the guard deadpanned and I was becoming annoyed with him.
"The Hokage sent me, it's urgent" I tried to persuade him more and it worked. Kakashi didn't actually send me but I knew those words would do the trick.
The guard turned his back towards me and opened the gates to the compound, letting me inside. He walked in front of me to lead me towards Hinata's father. The last time I saw him was when he was belittling Itachi and I during our trial but that was in the past now.
"Hiashi-sama, a visitor is here for you" the guard said as he opened the door. It took all of three seconds but he moved out of the way, letting me into the room.
"Uchiha, what brings you here?" Hiashi asked calmly as the door closed behind me, leaving just the two of us in the room.
"We have an emergency" I whispered to him, looking around the room.
"No need to whisper, no one can hear us in here" he told me and for some reason it made me nervous and I let out my breath.
"Hinata is missing" I told him and I couldn't read his emotions, damn lifeless Hyuga features…
"What do you mean she is missing?" he questioned me but I could tell he was curious.
"We were shopping for the babies and she went to the bathroom and when I checked on her, she was gone. Neji and I looked around the village and nothing. There's no trace of her" I informed him, I hoped he would figure something out.
"This is a problem.. Do we have any sort of clues as to what happened?" he asked me and I could hear it in his voice now, he was worried. Maybe he wasn't as cold hearted as before.
"A note was delivered to the Hokage manor saying her power would be useful to them and that's it" I told him and I was still confused about what power they were speaking of.
"Power? Are they talking about our bloodline? This makes no sense. I take pride in the safety of all my clan but if they're after the byakugan.. Why Hinata?" he said to me and I thought the same thing.
"I believe there is something else to this that I haven't been informed of. I know it's late and not exactly customary but if you would like to come to the Uchiha district to help out, it's welcomed" I told him, hoping he would come back. I knew getting everyone here would probably be pointless considering they were all mad at me.
"That's fine, I'm trying to make up for lost time with my daughter and I feel worried for her," he said, getting up off the ground. I nodded my head and followed him out of the room.
"I'll be back" he told the guard at the front gate and he nodded.
"I haven't been to your district in nearly a decade" Hiashi said to me as we continued to walk.
"A decade?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation going to avoid awkward silence.
"Your father and I didn't see eye to eye on something and our friendship fell off after that. Your mother and my wife though, they were very close" he told me, I had no idea. I knew our families use to conversace all the time but I didn't know they had a fight.
"I just thought you guys were busy and that's why our families stopped seeing each other so much" I said honestly, I was a small child and blind to real world problems. He chuckled at me, he must of thought the same thing.
…
Hiashi and I sat with Yugao, waiting for everyone to return. It was around midnight and we were making small talk.
"I hope they found some sort of clue as to what happened" Yugao spoke, finally bringing up the real reason why we were all in the living room of my home.
Before either of us could answer, the front door swung open.. Violently. I knew they found nothing and I worried for my well being for a minute.
"Sasuke!" Neji yelled first, here we go. I made brief eye contact with Yugao and Hiashi. I was hoping Hiashi's presents would stop all of them from being irrational.
Neji was the first one to come around the corner and he looked livid. They all did.. Everyone was still together.
"If she's found harmed, I swear I will take your other arm off" Neji hissed at me and I remained quiet until they all noticed Hiashi. They greeted him and everyone found somewhere to sit in the living room. Itachi sat next to me and I could feel anger radiating off of him. But, that answered my question.. She wasn't found.
"Did you guys find any sort of clues about her vanishing?" Yugao asked softly, breaking the softly. I was glad too because she would be the one person here to not catch an attitude.
"Nothing. We all went to different sections of the land of fire borders and nothing, she's literally gone" Kakashi said calmly, looking me in the eyes while he spoke.
"Sasuke told me about the note from the messenger bird. I don't think they're after the byakugan so can someone inform me of what power my daughter has?" Hiashi asked, looking around the room to everyone.
"Before the war started, Hinata and Itachi were sent on a mission to bring back our friend Kisame to the hidden mist village. While they were there the Mizukage had her personal medic ninja give Hinata a vile. The vile was from Orochimaru's lab, it contained Otsutsuki clan genetics. She was healed and has their kekkei genkai now, its name being Shikotsumyaki" Neji spoke and I was surprised. I didn't think Hinata was carrying the same genetics as Kaguya inside of her. It gave me chills knowing they had shared more than just the same bloodline now.
"I see.. So they must be trying to extract it from her then.. Bringing that horrid kekkei genkai back into the world again" Hiashi spoke. He must have seen it in action before considering he was the oldest person in the room.
"Hinata had told me once that only three other people had this genetic inside of them.. Kabuto being one of them.. I wonder if he has to do with any of this" Neji said out loud.. We still couldn't find her but at least everyone was talking, bringing small pieces of information together.
"We don't know the names of the other two and Kabuto is more than likely still trapped in the Izanami" Itachi finally spoke.
"It could really be anyone. I would check with Kabuto first but there's a small problem" Hiashi said and we all looked at him again, what else could be a problem?
"Just like the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan, really any well known powerful clan. They have followers and people who want to keep the clan living forever. It could be anyone. I would suggest to start checking Kirigakure first, that's where a majority of that clan and its people resided back in the day" Hiashi said, wonderful and I felt the heat rising in my face. Everyone was looking at me again and they were all glaring.
Itachis POV:
I've never wanted to beat my brother so badly in my life until tonight. I wasn't sure how he lost an entire human. A pregnant one at that who's chakra wave is huge right now.
As Hiashi finished talking all I did was look at my brother, we all did. He looked apologetic but it didn't matter until she was found.
"Itachi, can you come in contact with your friend Kisame and see if he can start searching for her?" Hiashi asked and my heart broke a little bit.
"Unfortunately Kisame didn't make it out of the war alive.." I told him. It was the first time thinking about Kisame in months and it still hurt like it happened yesterday.
"I'm going to send a bird over to Mei, have them start looking. For now, everyone go home and get some rest" Kakashi said, rising from his seat. He looked defeated and I understood why, it was more nerve wracking this time knowing she was alone.
"Are we meeting again tomorrow?" Kiba asked.
"I'll be sure to inform you tomorrow if need be" Kakashi said and that was his sentence to dismiss Kiba, Shino and Naruto. They all left, leaving the normal lot of us and Hiashi. I was still surprised to see him hear considering it was nearly one in the morning. Even when I was younger I don't ever remember seeing the head of the Hyuga clan outside after the sun set.
"I can assist in searching for her tomorrow. My eyes are among the best in the clan and Hinabi can handle the compound while I'm out" Hiashi spoke, looking Kakashi in the eye as he stood up off the chair.
"Thank you, I'll send for you if we form another search party" Kakashi said, giving him a small bow and leaving the room. Yugao followed him out.
"I'll walk you home" Sasuke said, offering safety for Hiashi. He nodded his head in agreement and they left as well.
"I knew this would come back and bite her in the ass" Neji said to me as we removed ourselves from Kakashi's living room. We also needed to go home and sleep.
"I hope she's okay" I mumbled and continued walking. My head hurt from using my sharingan for the past few hours. I still wasn't used to having one eye yet and I had a headache.
Neji opened the front door and I closed it behind us. We didn't say much after that but both headed up the stairs to our bedrooms, shutting off all the lights in the house on the way up the stairs.
I stripped off my clothes and put only shorts on afterwards and headed towards the bed. I got comfortable quickly but I couldn't sleep. How could I sleep knowing she was out there by herself? This wasn't right and I knew sleeping would be impossible so I was going to do the one thing I knew Kakashi would get mad at me for.
I got out of bed and got dressed again. I made sure my weapons pouch was full, my headband was tied tight and I grabbed my long black cloak. The one she had bought me all that time ago when I returned to the village. It felt weird wearing a cloak but I felt safer in this one because it wasn't decorated in red and black clouds.
I opened my bedroom door quietly so I wouldn't wake Neji and I let my eyesight get used to the dark. One my eyesight adjusted I looked down the hallway to see a figure and I was ready to throw kunai.
"Relax, it's me" Neji said out loud and I let my guard down. I walked to the top of the stairs, turning the hallway light on to see him also fully clothed. Was he also thinking the same thing?
"I can't sleep knowing she's out there somewhere" Neji admitted and I nodded my head. I guess we were both going to the hidden mist together.
"Let's go then" I said and I walked down the stairs, he shut the light off, walking down the stairs and put a note on the front door and we left our home. Who knew if she was even in the mist but it was worth a shot.
"I've never left the village before like this," he told me as we started running along the rooftops quickly.
"You get used to it," I said, trying to make a joke out of the situation to make him feel better. I could see a small smile curving on his face and I knew it worked.
…
"We're going to have set up camp here for the night, the boat won't later in the morning," I informed him once we got to the spot Kisame, Hinata and I stopped at before.
"I'll go get some wood and we can have a fire" Neji said, turning his back towards me and I sat on the ground and just waited.
It was weird to me this time.. who knew the next time I would be here it would only be me. It felt like the early days to me, after I left the village for commiting a crime. Before the Akatsuki found me, when I felt lost not knowing what to do with my free time. It was making me remember things I didn't want to. It felt like every time I was in this area I was sad.. Like the last time. Hinata held me when I was having a small break down and now I couldn't even do anything for her but hope she was in the area.
Neji returned with the wood, setting them up and I use a bit of fire jutsu to get it going and we just sat around it, absorbing the warmth.
"We have six hours until the boat is ready, I'll take first watch if you want to sleep for three hours" I told him, we needed a bit of sleep before we started searching because we needed energy.
…
"Itachi, let's go the sun is rising" Neji said to me, nudging my shoulder. I opened my eyes and sat up. The fire was already out and the sky had a grey hue, perfect timing.
We took off towards the docks and people were just getting off the boat from the mist. I wondered what their day had in store since they were awake this early.
"What was that note you left on the door by the way?" I asked him as we made our way to the front so we could see the water before the fog got severe and we couldn't see anything.
"I let Kakashi know that by the time he wakes up that we'll already be here and sending a bird was pointless" he told me and I nodded my head. It made sense, Neji was always the first person Kakashi grabbed in the morning on the way to the manor considering the anbu headquarters was underground and Neji was captain.
….
"Is the Mizukage even awake yet?" Neji asked me as we climbed the giant staircase.
"No idea but her assistant might be and that's good enough" I told him. I knew Chojuro would remember me and I hoped he would help.
We got to the front door and there were anbu sitting outside the door for security measures. They weren't here last time and it was weird considering the war was over and no real threats were looming about.
"State your business" the one closest to me said.
"We're here to deliver a personal message from the Hokage" Neji spoke before I could even open my mouth.
"Do you have documentation?" he asked us.
"No but this gives me authority to enter the building" Neji said, taking a scroll out of his weapons pouch and handing it to the guard. The guard took only a few seconds of looking at the scroll before handing it back and nodding. What the hell was on that paper?
"The Mizukage is still sleeping considering it's early in the morning but her assistant is in her office" the guard said and pointed in the direction of the office. I still remembered how to get there but I thanked them anyways.
"What was on that paper?" I asked Neji as we continued moving.
"It's a scroll letting them know I'm anbu captain and when the Hokage isn't present I have the right to act on his behave" he told me, they didn't have that when I was captain.. I wondered when that changed but it wasn't important right now. We finally made it to the door
"Come in!" Chojuro said and I opened the door to the office. He looked surprised to see us, it wasn't every day that random shinobi from other villages appeared in your office without a messenger bird letting you know ahead of time.
"I'm surprised to see you two here, how have you been?" he asked us.
"Been better that's why we're here" I spoke for us and his face grew serious.
"I'll help if I can" he said and I nodded my head.
"Remember the last time I was here? I was bring back Kisame and I had a girl with me?" I asked him, hoping he would remember.
"Yes, her name was Hinata, I remember," he said, looking confused now.
"She was kidnapped from the village and we believe she might be here somewhere in Kirigakure. Kakashi was going to send a bird asking for help but we couldn't just sit around waiting. We were wondering if you would lend assistance in looking for her" I told him and he looked like he was contemplating something.
"I can't give anbu orders yet, only Mei can but what I can do is allow you to look around the islands and when she is awake I'm sure she'll send out help" he told me and relief washed over me knowing we could start now. Then he started writing something down on a scroll before he dismissed us from the office.
"Just stay together and one of you hold onto this incase anyone from here gives you a problem" he handed the scroll out and Neji took it.
"Do you happen to know where the Otsutsuki clan lived? We want to start in that area" Neji asked and he nodded.
…
It didn't take long for us to arrive in the general area that was used by the Otsutsuki clan and their followers. It felt weary, powerful and sad at the same time. Only a few people remained and they eyeballed us with suspicion as Neji and I searched the area.
I used the same tracking tactics like we had used in the akatsuki when searching for the tailed beasts but it was harder because even though Hinata's chakra aura was big right now, it wasn't a tailed beast big.
"I feel her but I don't see her" Neji whispered to me as we stopped in the middle of the road. This was only the first island out of about eight to check too.
"She might be in the area but they have blockers of some sort on her" I said and I tried to focus to feel her but I felt nothing. I wasn't understanding what Neji was feeling and I wasn't. It might be the blood relation but I wasn't sure.
Hinata's POV:
"How much longer do you think she'll be unconscious for?" I heard a female voice ask but I kept my eyes shut. Where the hell was I? The last thing I remember was shopping for a crib with Sasuke.. Then it all came rushing back. I was kidnapped by someone and I couldn't see who took me. As soon as they blindfolded me my byakugan was useless and I passed out.
"It doesn't matter, she's never going to see daylight again but we need to get another piece of the experiment under wraps" a male voice said and fear washed over my body. Experiment? What about my babies?
"The last piece of the experiment is in the land of lightning, about a five day journey to get there," the woman said, five day journey? I couldn't pretend to be asleep for five days.
"You can stop pretending to be asleep," the man said and my heart started racing and before I could open my eyes a blindfold was wrapped around my eyes. I couldn't see with my byakugan but I didn't faint this time.
"Who are you?" I asked and realize my hands were tied behind my back, smart on their part.
"Don't worry about it. We've been waiting a long time for you" the man said from behind me, I could feel his breath on my ear and it gave me goosebumps. I didn't like the feelings of this.
"Why am I here?" I asked, afraid of the answer.
"You are in possession of something special that we want. You have the shikotsumyaki" the man said and my entire world froze. Neji and Itachi were right.. I made myself a walking target. I should of just dealt with the injuries and I wouldn't be in this predicament at the moment.
"I won't let you take anything from me," I hissed at whomever was in the room. The man laughed at me and I heard movement.
"You have no choice, you won't be found" he hissed back at me and I spit in the direction I thought he was in.
"You little bitch" he growled at me and my head swung in the other direction. He either hit me in the face with something or punched me but it stung and felt hot.
"Calm down, don't compromise the mission because she's awake. Once this is done you can kill her" the woman said and I knew she was smiling while she spoke. I felt all the color drain from my face, they were going to kill me? I hoped someone would find me soon. I knew right now from listening to them talk that whatever they needed was five days away but did that mean I had five days to live?
Kakashis POV:
I slowly opened my eyes and the sun was barely up, it was still kind of dark out. I just wanted to go back to bed but I knew my mind wouldn't let me. I had the hardest time falling asleep earlier knowing my babies were in danger. My heart was heavy and my worries went beyond anything I've ever felt before that I felt normal.. It was weird.
I rolled over and Yugao was still sound asleep so I moved myself closer to her, wrapping my arm around her waist.
"Good morning" she whispered and shifted under the blanket, turning her body to face me. I gave her a small smile and kissed her forehead.
"We're going to find something today, I promise," she told me, determination was in her eyes and she gave me a kiss filled with passion. I tightened my hold on, bringing her as close as she physically could be to me. She didn't stop with one kiss though, she licked the bottom of my lip and I gave her entrance.
Whatever she was going had woken up the rest of my body, which she felt because she moved her hand down my stomach, creating a little room and she grabbed it. This wasn't what I needed to be doing right now, it was a waste of time but I knew if someone looked at me wrong today I might kill them from stress.
"Let's go shower" she said, giggling against my lips before giving me a small peck. She moved out from underneath the covers, taking her shirt off and walking towards the bathroom. She entered the bathroom, turning the shower on and leaving me in bed wanting more.
"Kakashi!" Sasuke said loudly against my bedroom door and I didn't want to answer it because I was still pissed at him.
"What" I deadpanned as I sat up on my bed and he walked into my room.
"Do you ever knock?" I said harshly.
"I went to get Neji for you so you could sleep longer and I found a note on the front door," he said, shoving the paper into my face and I yanked it out of his hands.
By the time you read this we will already be in the hidden mist village. Itachi and I couldn't sit by while she was out here so send a bird with plans when you receive this. - N
"Damn it" I sighed out loud, I couldn't even be mad because Neji was allowed to leave when he pleased because of his status. Itachi I just didn't care anymore.. He was going to do what he wanted regardless.
"Well, let me shower and we'll figure something out when I come downstairs" I told him and he nodded his head, leaving my room.
I placed the note on the bed next to me and got off the bed. I guess it's a good thing they left because that meant if they found something they could send a message before we went there. I hoped she was in the hidden mist, it only makes sense. The only thing that concerns me is how do they extract a kekkei genkai that's inside the bloodstream? I also knew if Hinata got the chance to somehow escape that she would.
I was so mad at Sasuke yesterday that I had forgotten all these little things and the more I used my logic, the less my emotions were taking over. I just had to think like I used to before I met Hinata, a shinobi. I needed logic.
Then the sound of the glass door to the shower closed and it snapped me out of my thoughts, that's right.. My woman was waiting for me.
I stripped as I walked and the light in the bathroom was off but a candle was lit, only allowed a small glow of light to light the walls. I decided against opening the door and using the body flicker technique and appeared behind her. I turned her around and aggressively kissed her but gently enough where I didn't hurt her. I kept backing her up until I felt the wall.
She placed her hand on my chest and slowly slipped down my body like she had earlier but I stopped her. I moved our hands above her head and I carried my kisses down her face and neck instead. Stopping at her chest but she moved her other hand quickly, going for what she aimed for and she started rubbing it. I placed my head on her chest and moaned. She had become very touchy feely lately, which I loved.
I finally let her arm go and she used it to lift my face to hers, I kissed her and she kissed back, only slightly biting my lip seductively as she pulled back.
"Fuck me.." she whispered into my lips and let go of my lenght. I kissed her one last time before I picked her up and placed her on the waste high marble ledge inside the shower. It was intended to store all your shower things on for easy access but not right now/ I placed her down while we continued kissing and I pulled her closer to me.
I felt like teasing her more, I moved my kisses down her body again. I stopped at her breasts to play with her nipples. Her hands were on my back and she ever so slightly dug her fingernails in, driving me crazy so I continued moving down more. I pushed her legs open and moved them up so I had all the access I needed.
I did give her a chance to prepare, I just went for it. My tongue circled her clit while I put two fingers inside of her. I could hear her breath hitching the more I moved around down there. Her nails were getting a little deeper the longer I was down there. I started moving my fingers faster while my tongue worked on a different spot and I felt her hips move upwards and I knew it was time.
I moved back upwards to stand in front of her and just slipped inside. We both moaned at the same time and became in sync with one another.
….
It was almost noon now and I still hadn't received a message from the mist which pu my nerves right back into numb.
"Hokage-sama, a message has arrived for you" Yugao spoke, appearing from the floor with another anbu. She gave me the letter and my heart started beating a little bit as I undid the seal that Mei had placed there.
Your shinobi have been injured and still haven't found the missing-nin. The missing-nin was here but has been moved. They believe the new direction is the land of lightning, this is all I can report to you
I slammed my fist down on my desk knowing they were so close and just missed her. But on a better note they're more than likely heading towards Kabuto like we assumed last night.
"Send word to the others, were leaving today" I snapped toward Yugao and other anbu. They flickered out of the room and I dropped the paper on my desk. Whomever took her is going to pay when they're found, I just hoped we weren't too late when we got there.
It didn't take long for our small search party to arrive back in my office. I was surprised to see Hiashi actually stuck to his word about joining us in the hunt for his daughter.
"When Tsunade arrives, we will leave. We were sent a report from the Mizukage a few moments ago. Neji and Itachi are in the mist village, injured and the people who have kidnapped Hinata are heading towards the land of lightning. I'm assuming they're going after Kabuto for the same reason" I informed everyone in front of me and they remained quiet.
"Naruto and Sasuke, you'll be going to the mist village to bring Itachi and Neji back home. The rest of you are needed with me in pursuing the enemy" I told them and they nodded in agreement. I was glad no one had obligations or remarks because I wasn't in the mood. Not to mention whomever the enemy is skilled enough to injure both Itachi and Neji, two of our strongest.
I hope everyone enjoyed this! I think this chapter is pretty solid. Also sorry for the last chapter when I wrote my little authors note and it like cut into a sentence.. I didn't realize until I published it.
