AN bleuxe: This chapter took a lot of me, but I made it extra long for being gone from this story so it like two chapters in one. I still going though chapters to correct things. Thank you for comments and keep coming back for more enjoy!
Hinata was ball-up in the fetal position on the prison bed in a dismal state of mind. Seconds turn to hours and time seemed to be fading away from her. The only saving grace was sleep, but even in her dreams reveal the ugly truth the walking nightmare that was Obito Uchiha. Hinata grew to hate him and never thought she could have such hatred for a human being as she did for him. Nor had she known such a fear and his ability take something so precious as part of her sight.
Her left eye socket bled occasionally every couple hours she has to redressed with fresh bandages that she could assume that her new warden Obito was providing. She only assumed this because she never saw him enter her prison cell and only saw replenished food when she woke up. She would only eat a little bit out of the food out of necessity, but the medication in the tiny pill bottle she would never touch. No matter the pain or the blood, Hinata refused to take the pills.
She would never trust him or his character ever again.
Flashback
The rogue nin just transported her to a total different location from a cave like laboratory full of Uchiha eyes to a darken room. It was hard for her to see, Hinata's knees buckled with no more strength to stand on a metal-base floor holding her bloody empty eye socket.
Obito saw her visible flinched and groaned as he walked pass her. She looked extremely pale, he might have went overboard with his torture and then teleporting with her to Pein's Tower.
"Madara...who is this?" Pein staring at this woman who look like she about to be sick all his floor.
"A show of your failure. Both of your failures," he replied hollowly he pulled out file from his cloak and threw at Konan's feet. The papers that spilled out of the file was careful floated up as if a breeze was carrying it and on to her childhood comrade. Pein ignored the clear disrespect he had towards them and begun reading with Konan peering over his shoulder.
Hinata felt like the air was thick was tension as the man with the legendary Rinnegan stood up from his chair with a black metal rod in his hand and pointed the jagged part toward her.
"Pein," the mask nin spoke in a warning tone.
"We need to make example out of her," Pein said wanting her dead at that very spot.
"If you can't tell I've already have,"
Konan look at him very skeptically from his words because just look like she was going lose conscience at any second and was constantly clutching the left side of her face.
"Then she will be executed for diverging the secrets of my village to Konoha!" Pein declared wanting nothing more then to see his justice for putting his beloved village at risk.
"No," He said daring Pein to point that black receiver at him.
There was long pause a down stared between two powerhouses of shinobi causing the paper kunoichi to question if this was an insertion of dominance. Hinata for belief a minute was unsure what was going to happen to her with the Amekage's zeroing in his death glare at her.
"You and Konan had two years to catch this Leaf spy as she masqueraded as a civilian at her leisure. And now you believe you can correct the mistake I have found?" Obito asked rhetorically wanted to make a point to Nagato that he maybe the leader of Rain, but he was merely a pseudo leader of Akatsuki whether he knew it or not.
"You had your time and now I have my prisoner...but for a consolation you can have the life of her contact that will most likely come for her in two weeks time," Making Pein lowing his black receiver back into himself knowing there will be retribution for the crimes Konoha has done over the years against Ame.
flashback over
"I can't let that happen! Jiriaya is the main one I have been in contact with...well his toads but, still I know he will be the one extracting me. If anything happens to him, Naruto will be devastated," Hinata's mind was in a frenzy on how she can get out of this mess and to save someone's life at the same time.
It became hard for her to keep track of time of day with her imprisonment. There wasn't any windows on any of the walls, the room was completely make of metal make her think that she was on some kind of tug boat, but knowing that can't be true because there was no swaying against the water like a ship would. The one light source in the room was a light bulb that was in the dead center of the ceiling and it was always on with no way of turning off. Another thing that never turns off was the only surveillance camera in the corner of the cell by the steel sealed entrance.
It made her skin crawl to know that Obito was watching her 24/7 except when she went to the bathroom in which there was a door she can close, but she supposed it was better than actually enacting with him.
Hinata had a feeling she was still in Amegakure and she wasn't entirely sure about it. When she was no longer severely chakra deprived, she tried to use her byakugan, but every time she did it she was in excruciatingly agony as if her eye was being gouge out all over again. Always made her it shut off before she could see outside her cell. Being partial blind caused her depth perception to be completely off and most of the times it would make her knock over things completely frustrating her.
More then often the former spy would just stare at the tiny air in vent in the wall and imagine her escape through there.
"But only a toddler would be able to fit through there...maybe he want to drive me to madness," Hinata closed her eye tight feel as though the walls around her were caving in on her.
Her eye burst open with what sounded like a tumbling old washer coming down the air vent as a ton of papers flooded her cell and begin circling her bed until it materialize into a woman.
Hinata was in a silent staring contest with the paper user and wonder if she was sent here to torture her. Seeing now she was known as Kami's angel amongst her villagers and could see why because she had a elegance about her. Before she could blink her single eye Konan formed a paper javelin out her hand. Hinata didn't even recoil awaiting for the final death blow, but it never came.
"Strange you want to die?" Konan inquired disband her papers back into her body.
"I-I," Hinata muttered before becoming quiet again unsure what to said because all she could think of was how she failed to fulfill her mission and how she could no longer keep any promises to others or herself.
Konan's plan was to kill this Hyūga after reading all the reports and the fact Nagato was still angry that he was deny to executed her. They cared deeply about their village and they were the last ones left to actually kept Ame protected from wars that ravage their land in the past. So she managed to hack into this room surveillance system to loop only for five minutes and she was willing to take what wraith from the mask nin after the deed was done.
"Why are you in Madara's room?" she asked with curiosity getting the best of her. This room is what Nagato give him when the tower was build, but he never use it until now.
That name it was second time of Hinata hear it.
"He must have many aliases Tobi and Madara. Then does that mean Obito isn't his real name?"
"I really don't know..." Hinata spoke quietly becoming more confused than had no clue what Obito or whoever he was wanted from her after refusing to betraying Konoha.
"I don't have time for this," Konan felt like she was wasting her time being here and maybe killing the girl wasn't worth it if she was so willing to die. Looking around she didn't seem like a prisoner, she wasn't chained to the wall, she wasn't flogged, and any other spy would be dragged out on the streets to be murdered. It also looked like she was unharmed, like she was getting food and water on the daily basis, but Konan thought it was strange that there were bandages on the left side of her face as if it was heavily damage.
Hinata begun to held her head because was getting one of her dizzy spells that she would get from time to time. She picking at her bandages and began freaking out.
"No no no no why is bleeding so much!" her fingers were soaked with blood and her hands were shaking. It didn't matter how many times she change the wraps and gauze it always bled through. Hinata feared at this point that it was infected from him snatching her eye out with his dirty gloves.
"I see...don't you know better than to look a Uchiha directly in the eyes,"
The byukugan princess froze in denial ignoring the feeling as though the room spinning out of control.
"But I-I didn't I-" Hinata's words fell short because she realize that she did when he was holding her face from moving. He had shined that surgeon light in her face to make her unknowingly look him in the eye.
"Madara is known for his masterful genjutsu, but he is not known to tenderly care for any prisoners," Konan held her full attention now.
"And what do you gain by telling me this?" Hinata' s trust was at a all time low and didn't believe that she was telling her this out of kindness of her heart especially since she was ready to kill her a belief moment ago.
"Proof," was all Konan utter before splitting herself apart into papers zooming right back up in the air vents as soundless as possible.
Hinata sat there in silently staring at her "blood" strain hand for several minutes after Konan left a slow thud of a headache was coming on. Instantly she hopped from the bed wanting to see the truth for herself grabbed the roll of bandages and the pill bottle closing the bathroom door shut so the camera wouldn't be watching her.
In the gritty bathroom mirror she stared at herself hard. How long has it been since she looked at herself without feeling shame, she hoped it hadn't been a week and hoped it was merely a few days. She peeled the supposedly bloody bandage from her left eye as they fell in the sink. It was grotesque seeing an empty eye socket with blood dripping out of it and it was any Hyūga especially Hinata worst nightmare. She let out a calming breath and closed her eyes with her hands in position.
"Kai!" She said opening her eyes to see that her left eye was in deed intact and almost cry overjoyed that the pain also subsided.
"Ok but don't get ahead of yourself. I still need to get out of here some how," Hinata said to herself and decided to reapplied the bandages back on to her left side of her eye. Since the mask man wanted to trick her, decided to keep playing the part as the wounded animal until she was ready to strike. It seem like the cogs in mind was no longer in a fog and begun to move like clockwork. She took one of the pills from the bottle to examine it up close since she never even dare to touch it before.
To Hinata it looked strange with it hard coating. She sniffed it and it smell sweetly familiar. Crushed it between her thumb and index finger, it felt granulate. Being able to cook she knew it was sugar and it never was medicine. In completely anger from all the lies and feeling like the biggest idiot in the world. She threw the pill bottle at the mirror and made it crack down the middle of it.
She stormed out of the bathroom wildly thinking how can she get his attention to come to his room. Constantly in the back of her mind a mantra kept going "What does he value?"
"Tobi!" She said as loud as possible with her voice echoed and bounced off the walls to reverberate up the air duct. She waited couple seconds and looked straight at the camera with nothing happening.
"Madara!" shouting this time and still nothing after waiting a few minutes.
"OBI-Mhn!" Hinata's voice was completely was stifle with gloved hand over her mouth as he appeared in front of her.
"So his name really is Obito and he values that secret,"
"Now I'm letting you go if you scream you will regret it. Do you understand?" He said darkly not appreciating her little temper tantrum she was throwing. Immediately she nodded looking very demure in that moment as he removed his hand.
"I j-just can't t-take the p-pain anymore-e," Hinata mumbled really bring out that old stuttered she had as teen. Her one eye was teary while she rubbing her left bandaged eye.
"That why I give the medication for the pain...where did you put it?" Obito sighed while thinking they didn't make ninja like they use to. Remembering in the camera that she was in the bathroom that where he went and grabbed it noticing the broken mirror.
"I guess you want seven years of bad luck huh,"
"I-I couldn't s-stand looking at m-myself any longer," she lied on the fly as she droop her head down pretending to be ashamed.
"Well am I going to have to force it down your throat or are you going to swallow it on your own?" Obito said annoyed with this mopey side of her as he shook the pill bottle full of placebos in her ear startling her.
"W-What?!" Hinata jumped slightly backward turning beet red in the face.
"Naughty Hinata thinking bad thoughts are we?" he had a sly grin behind his mask and popped the cap off the bottle. Hinata thought he was just unbearable at times, but it give her a reminder of what Konan said earlier about him being not known to tenderly care for prisoners.
As soon as pick up the sugar pill with his fingers she grabbed of his hand. Putting her lips on his gloved fingers and with her tongue she scooped up the placebo and swallowed it whole with his hand trembling from the whole experience. His fingers still had that sticky residue from the sugary substance and tasted really good to her that she couldn't help suckle the juices clean from his glove. Obito began getting flashbacks of that night she went down on him with the henge face replace with her real face.
Suddenly he pulled away from Hinata breathing heavily with two of his gloved fingers covered in her saliva. Wishing he didn't have his gloves on at the moment just like that stormy night. Obito looked back at her puckered lips and clenched his fists because he was suppose to be in her mind not the other way around and it was the main reason he put her under the genjutsu to control her.
She felt like a small battle was won as he turn his back to her and disappeared. She wondered if the mask nin wanted to go farther with it would she be able to handle it. Hinata stared deeply at the camera knowing Obito was staring right back at her behind some computer screen.
"You will let me go whether you want to or not..."
