Itachis POV: -two days have passed-

"Is he going to be okay?" was the first thing I heard before my eyes even opened. I knew I was injured but I didn't know how badly and I didn't want to move to figure it out. I just knew my chest was on fire..

"Yes, you're going to have to slowly travel back to the leaf though. Both of them suffered horrible chest injuries" a man said.. who was speaking?

"No problem, well wait until they're cleared" Naruto said and I was shocked a little bit knowing he had patients..

My finally decided to open my eyes and my vision took a minute to come back. I overused my sharingan.. that much I knew too.

"Finally, you're awake nii-san.." Sasuke damn near whispered and I looked to my right. Naruto and him were seated in my hospital room. But wait.. where's Neji? I tried to look around but I couldn't. My neck was sore.

"Neji is still sleeping, if that's what you're looking for" the man spoke again and I looked to him. He was standing at the edge of my bed. I nodded my head to acknowledge him.

"My name is Jin, by the way. I'm Meis personal medic" the man said softly and my temper flared and I knew everyone around me felt it. He was the one who gave Hinata the vile.. if I were able, I'd probably hit him.

"I know you're upset but I assure you we didn't force it onto her..she took it willingly. She just wanted to be strong for you guys" he spoke again, trying to justify the situation. I was mad but my heart hurt hearing him speak. That's all Hinata ever wanted to do.. help others.

"Do you remember who you guys fought?" Sasuke asked, changing the subject.

"Whatever is left of the villagers and followers of that clan, ambushed us. We were headed toward the third island because Neji sensed Hinata and we were jumped" I told them, it was bizarre. One minute everything was quiet.. the next.. well.

"You're telling me that villagers did this to you guys?" Saske asked, sounding suspicious.

"Something changed inside of them. Almost like they were experiments" I said again. I knew I wasn't making any sense to them but I wasn't sure how to word it. It felt like something Orochimaru was behind be he was long dead..

"Maybe you guys should ask him more questions when he's awake. He's tired" Jin said and I realised my eyes. He was right.. I was tired.

Sasukes POV:

It had been an hour since Itachi fell back asleep. Naruto and I sat in the room still. But I kept thinking of what my brother said.. it didn't make sense. The only thing I could think of was Orochimaru but it didn't make sense, the Otsutsuki clan had nothing to do with him.

My eyes eventually looked back over to Neji and Itachi. They both had the same injuries. Lacerations everywhere and a giant deep wound on their chests. If I didn't know any better I would say that someone was trying to tear their hearts out.

"Do you think Kakashi sensei and the others are close to the kidnappers yet?" Naruto asked me and I glanced over to him. I could see it in his eyes he was worried.

"I hope so" I said, trying to give him some form of hope. I was never one for hope but it seemed like my feelings for the situation were changing. I wasn't sure what I would do if they found her and something bad happened to her or those babies. I knew I would never been forgiven. I don't even think I could forgive myself at that point.

Hinatas POV: -two days have passed-

I tried my best to stay aware of my surroundings even though I couldn't see. I knew yesterday we were on a boat which meant we were leaving the hidden mist village. But today, I felt like my head was getting lighter.. like we were on a mountain. Or at least up high somewhere.

"Stop moving" the girl snapped at me and I stopped walking. My hands were tied to a rope which she was using as a leash. I needed to figure out how to get this blindfold off and quickly. I loved everyone back home but it took them two months to find us.. I wasn't sure if they were going to find me this time. I needed to escape.

"Well switch when I get back," the man said, which meant it was time for a bathroom break. I knew the woman was weaker than the man.. that much I could feel.

"Can I sit at least?" I asked the woman and she made a noise but I knew it was a yes. I concentrated on her chakra to know she was behind me which meant she couldn't see my hands. Now was my opportunity to cut the ropes. I was on a time limit though. I had exactly six minutes before the man came back.

This was one of the training courses in ANBU. How to escape a hogtie and I was grateful. I refined my chakra in my fingers and pushed it towards my wrists, making the rope thinner.

I mustered up the strength and my wrists were finally free enough. The woman was still behind me and I took the opportunity to move the blindfold up slightly. It was no longer blocking my eyes and I activated my byakugan. I could finally see my surroundings.

The woman had her back towards me and the man was still far away. I quietly spun and stood up slowly. I pushed the chakra to my fingers and quickly blocked her chakra points.

"You little bitch" she said but before she could turn, I pinched a nerve on her neck and she fell to the ground, unconscious. I took my weapon and coin pouch back and put them on my leg quickly.

I didn't even know where I was but I took off as fast as I could away from the man. I kept my blood line active so I could keep track of him but it was giving me a headache. I hadn't eaten anything since I was captured and my body was weak.

I pushed as hard as I could like Kakashi had taught me and I continued moving. I was surrounded by stone and rock and I was definitely on a mountain. Then I realized I was in the land of lightning, the war had taken place not to far from here.

….

I felt like I was running for hours but I could no longer feel or see the man and woman with my bloodline so I deactivated it.

"I need to get to a boat.." I whispered to myself. The view of water was coming up quickly and I knew the Mizukage would help protect me until I could send word home.

"Not so fast!" someone yelled at me and I looked around to see a fisherman was yelling at me. I slowed down, maybe he could help me.

"I need to get to the hidden mist" I said breathlessly.

"What are you running from?" He asked me, watching me carefully. I was wearing my leaf headband and was probably confused why I was alone.

"Two people had kidnapped me" I told him and then something in his eyes changed. They turned completely white and he creepily smiled at me.

"Princess Kaguya.." he slurred and lunged forward at me. I moved aside and started running again.

"She will rise again" he said and I heard him throw something and started moving at me. I felt one of the weapons he threw at me fly by my head. I was running out of land and the only thing left was ocean.

It was life or death at this point since I could trust anyone and I ran into the water. Turtle Island wasn't far from the shoreline, I'll swim my way to the mist if I had to.

I didn't hear splashing behind me which led me to believe the fisherman didn't follow me.. that was good.

I however knew once the two kidnappers got to him he would tell them where I went. I knew I didn't lose them yet and I felt unsafe so I activated my blood line again and I could just barely see them in my field of view.. this wasn't good.

Turtle Island was so close.. only another fifty feet and I could hopefully find safety in the woods here for a while. Enough time for my body to regain some energy.

I finally reached the small island and pulled myself up on the small rock cliff and laid on my back. My breathing was a little bit shallow but I knew it would take them a bit to get here.

I knew I could of just ran to the Raikage but I don't think he would of believed me if I explained the situation.

…

It was nightfall now and the kidnappers were on the island with me, I could see them. They however couldn't see me and that was my only advantage. I needed to started swimming towards the next small island. It was one step closer to the mist and that's all I wanted.

I quietly hopped down from the tree I was sitting in and made my way down the small dirt path that turned into sand. I wasn't sure what sort of powers these two had so I had to move extra careful.

I got in the water and took off at full speed, they hadn't even noticed yet but this swim was longer than the last one.

…

The sun was high in the sky and I arrived into the land of whirlpools.. a small village had come into view and I needed a bed before I crashed.

I kept my eyes open to find a small inn And I finally found one, I pushed the door open and the woman at the front desk looked terrified of me. Poor girl, she probably didn't deal with many ninjas here.

"Are you okay?" She asked me, her eyes grew a little bigger.

"I need a room" I said meekly and she nodded her head. She came around the desk to lead me towards my room. I watched her pretty green kimono sway as she walked. It contrasted her dark brown hair very well.

"Is there anything else you would need?" She asked me as she unlocked the door and I walked inside. I reached into the small pouch and grabbed a handful of money. More than enough for a weeks stay here.

"Some food and if anyone comes here looking for me, I don't exist" I told her, locking eyes and she nodded her head. I bought her silence and I knew it would work.

Now.. time for the shower I was greatly looking forward to. I stripped off my clothes and turned the water on. I looked at myself in the mirror and I understood why the woman at the front desk looked terrified of me. I had so much stuff stuck in my hair and my skin was covered in dirt and sand.

My shower was long but needed and when I got out I realized I didn't have any clothes to put on. I shrugged my shoulders.. that's tomorrow's problem. I would sleep in my towel for now.

When I reentered my room, the smell of food crossed my nose and my stomach rumbled. I saw the plate of food and next to it was a black kimono, red shorts and a white shirt, with a note.

I lifted the note to see the woman at the desk had found this for me because my clothes were destroyed. I thanked her in my head and slipped it on, tying as tight as I could.

Kakashi's POV:

"For two days travel I don't feel like we've gotten anywhere" Kiba whined and I felt the same way. The quickest way to the land of lightning was by boat and we had to wait until tomorrow morning for the next departure to the very end of Kumogakure.

"Well.. at least we have this inn for now" Hiashi spoke calmly and we all looked around it.

"Excuse me" a small woman with a green kimono said as she walked past the small group of us and down the hallway.

It didn't take long for her to come back and she looked weary of us, she kept staring at our village headbands. Akamaru started whining when he sniffed the woman.

"Will you be needing rooms?" She asked, sounding scared. I wondered what was wrong..

"Three rooms please" Hiashi spoke, and she smiled toward him. Her demeanor changed when speaking to him.. then I realized he didn't have a leaf headband on.

"I hope you all enjoy your stay," she said, removing herself away from the front desk and vanishing down the same hallway.

"Get some rest. We've been running for two days straight" I instructed and we all went into our rooms for the night. I let Yugao walk in first and I could hear akamaru continue to whine.. I wondered if the dog was okay.

Hinatas POV

A knock on my door woke me up, I would be angry but I slept so well and I felt rested. Sleep, food and a bed really do the body wonders.

I got out of my bed and shuffled across the room to open the door. I was faced with the woman from the front desk and she slipped into my room. I eyed her suspiciously.

"Is something wrong?" I asked and she looked at the ground.

"I know it's not my place but I believe you're safe now" she said and I became confused.

"I don't follow" I said, Hoping she would elaborate more.

"I know you said if anyone comes looking for you that you didn't exist but the people who were looking are gone," she said.. the kidnappers were here? How could she possibly know what they looked like?

"A man and a woman were here looking for me?" I asked her.

"It was a group of people, actually" she said softly. A group of people? Were there more now?

"What did they look like?" I asked.

"One of them looked just like you, another had purple hair, she was holding a silver haired man's hand. A guy with red markings on his face was in the back with another man with a coat over his face.. oh, and there was a dog" she said, looking puzzled as she talked.

Kakashi was here? I missed them? My heart started racing.

"Shit..Where did they go?" I asked her impatiently now.

"I'm not sure, I can point in the direction" she said and I nodded my head. I knew the kidnappers and them would cross paths.. I just hoped I would find my friends before they found me.

We ran out of my room and outside. The sun was high in the sky again, I slept for almost a entire day, whichever way they went I knew they left this morning. They were already hours ahead of me.

"They went that way" the woman pointed toward where I just escaped from. I was alone again and I wasn't sure which way to go now. Home was the closest but the more dangerous way to go at this point considering the kidnappers probably thought that's where I was going.. I could be walking into an ambush.

My mind went right back to my original plan of the mist village. It was the same distance as home and I knew Mei would protect me and find Kakashi to tell him I was with her.

"Do you know of anyone with a boat around here?" I asked the woman and she nodded.

"I have one. You can use it. It's a small wind boat though. It's down at the docks, a purple flag is flying in it. You can't miss it" she informed me.

"A small boat is better than swimming again. Thank you for the clothes and boat. You don't know how much it means to me" I told her, giving her a small bow.

"Just keep those babies safe" she whispered to me and I nodded my head. So that's why she was being nice to me..

I started running towards the docks, if I got in her boat now. I could be in the mist village by nightfall and finally feel safe.

The docks came into view quickly and I scanned over all the boats and finally found the womans.. the purple flag was high in the air. I moved towards it, unlatching everything so I could set sail.

I pushed myself away and my journey started.. I liked being on boats, it was calming and made me forget about everything for a little bit.

Except my mind went back to her description of everyone.. she said someone that looked like me was with them.. was she referring to Neji? She had to of been…

-nightfall-

My bloodline was active to do a scan of the area as I tried the boat up so It wouldn't float away.. I could see two guards near me and I made my way towards them.

"I need help" I told them and all their attention was focused on me now. They didn't speak but one stepped closer towards me, making me backup a little bit.

"Did you miss me?" The guard spoke and a chill ran down my spine. My kidnapper, they had transformed their appearance and I nearly slapped myself on the forehead.. how did I fall for that?

I turned to run and my arm was caught and I got pulled back. I turned on my feet and punched whichever one grabbed me. I nearly caught the man in the face but he caught my hand. Why was he so strong?

"Someone help me!" I screamed as loud as I could before the woman gagged me.

"No one can hear you, the sound of waves crashing is louder than you," the man said, tightening his grip on my fist. I threw my head back and it connected with the womans mouth. She backed off and I tried to pull myself free.

I focused my chakra into my hands and blasted it threw my palm, both of our hands were encased in my chakra. I knew it was burning him from his other hand digging his nails into the skin on my arms.

I pushed more chakra into my hands and he finally let go, giving me the opportunity to use a traditional Hyuga attack, a small vortex and they moved away from me. I had one of them on both of my sides now. I wasn't sure which way to look.

"I can't wait to kill you" the woman hissed and I looked at my surroundings. It was the ocean or a wall protecting the village.

They'll have to catch me first.. and I took off running towards the wall. Basic ninja training at its finest. I ran up the wall smoothly but once I was at the top, the drop was a bit deep and they were coming up right behind me.

"Cha!" I heard the woman yell and the wall started to crumble. She punched a hole in the wall.. she had sakura strength and that scared me.

I took my chances and gliding myself down the wall, forcing chakra into my hands so I wasn't going down as fast.

I hit the ground and rolled forward. I felt bad for these babies at the moment from the moving I was doing but I knew it was for the best.

"Get back here" the man yelled and they chased me. I could see the Mizukages manor from the ground and I didnt think they would chase me all the way there.

As I was running, I grabbed a bunch of Kunai from my weapons pouch. I jumped in the air, turning and I threw them like Itachi taught me. I hoped that would slow them down but instead they just stuck into their bodies. Were they even human? I questioned what they were.

"Someone help me!" I yelled again, knowing this time someone would more than likely hear me and then in a blink of an eye. We were finally surrounded by mist anbu and Chojuro. The three of us were in the middle of them, Chojuro extended his hand as an invitation for me to be guarded and I took it. I didn't know him very well but having someone's arm around me that wasn't a stranger.. was comforting.

"Well be back for you," the man growled and they vanished into thin air.

"Search the perimeter" Chojuro said and all the anbu vanished as well.

"You're safe now, Hinata" he said said, letting go of me and we walked side by side.

"I'll send word to Kakashi and the others. For now, let's get you to the hospital" he said and I nodded my head. I just wanted to be home.. but I knew until those two were dead that I wouldn't be safe.

"We have a few leaf shinobi here as well by the way" Chojuro said as he held the door to the hospital open for me. I glanced at him, how many shinobi from home where out looking for me?

"Can I see them?" I asked, I didn't know who was here but I just needed to be around people I really knew.

Chojuro guided me down a few hallways and stopped in front of a door with an anbu outside of it. The anbu stepped aside and I moved forward.

I opened the door and the first person I made eye contact with was Sasuke. He moved quickly and suddenly I was being crushed by him hugging me.

"I've never in my life been so happy to see you" he whispered to me and I wrapped my arms around him. It felt nice, I needed it.

"I got a good look at the two kidnappers, will you and Naruto come with me? We need to report to Mei and start searching for our missing nin files for them" Chojuro said and I finally let go of Sasuke.

"I don't really want to leave her alone" Naruto said meekly and I looked over to see him standing up from the chair he was sitting in.

"She is safe here, I assure you" Chojuro said and Naruto remained quiet but moved forward. He gave me a smile when he walked passed me.

Then it dawned on me, if they're standing up.. why we're in this room? I looked around and my eyes grew wide. I finally saw them.. my heart hurt now. I rushed to the middle of both of their beds.

"Itachi has been in and out of sleep. Neji has woken up yet" Sasuke said and I looked over at him and nodded my head.

They all finally left the room and I moved to grab a chair and put it between their beds. I shifted a bit to get comfortable. I wanted them to know I was okay when they woke up so I made sure they would see me.

sorry this took forever.. i dont have a computer anymore so i had to wait for my new phone to come in to type this so my bad if its short. but, i hope everyone likes it, the drama isnt over
