Hmm sorry for taking long to update but I got kinda lazy. Ok ok… I was playing a video game. DEAD OR ALIVE 3 FOR X-BOX! I'M SO ADDICTED! . Damn my weakness for games…

Nano didn't seem amused at all when he saw the weak Hinata struggle to get up. "Now now Hinata. I don't want to see you hurt yourself." He frowned when she fell flat in the mud again for the third time, "You see as much as I like seeing you struggle for air. You are in no mood to fight Hinata. You must save your energy."

Hinata was numb and she once again tried standing up, "Kuso.." She mumbled and was now halfway, "I-I can do it." Now on her feet she started to lift her tired knees so she could straighten up. "Nano… I have no clue what you are talking about…. B-but.." She was breathing heavily and her head wooed. "I-I'm sorry for what whatever my clan did to you…"

Nano shushed her right there by showing his palm. A strange symbol showed, burnt from what looked like a hot razor, "Your last chance Hinata. Join me or die like the rest of your clan."

Hinata was already shaking her head but nothing came out but a heavy breath.

He narrowed his eyes, "You can be free and cared for.." She gave a slight confused look, "You'll fit in Hinata.. Isn't that what you want?"

"B-But I.."

"You really think Naruto-kun cares for you?"

She widened her eyes and her lips trembled. "Y-Yes.."

"If he really did.. Why would he take this long to tell you?" Nano raised an eyebrow when she couldn't answer, "Shy? That isn't it you know… He knew he couldn't get Sakura cause of Sasuke…. So… He saw the next lowest thing and.. Well.." He frowned and showed pity, "I'm sorry myself Hinata."

Hinata let a small squeal come out from disbelief and she shook her head. "N-No.. H-He told me he loved me.."

"A lie.." He said hush and took a step closer, "Don't you think its weird he suddenly cares about you? Out of nowhere?" She didn't answer, "I understand Hinata… I really do.. I was lonely and scared like you but…"

Hinata raised her eyes and saw his outline, a twitch of annoyance touched her upper lip and she smacked his hand away at once, "I'm not scared and lonely anymore! And your lying cause if you really knew me you would know I'm not really here!"

"W-What?" She poofed away and he dodged from a sudden sharp kunai. "Damn it." He mumbled and three Hinatas surrounded him, "Fine then. I'll play your little game for awhile Hinata." He hissed and immediately dropped to the floor. He flung his legs at the girls and caught two of them. They were pulled to the ground. The one who escaped from his legs took out a kunai and as she was coming down she held it downward to stab his neck. He swung his foot around and hit her directly on her chest.

The clone flew back on a tree and poofed away.

He used one arm to push himself up and stood in his stance, "Come on Hinata. Clones are just illusions and don't give as much heart as the real one does." He rose his arm as a defense when one threw a punch at him. He easily flipped her back on the ground and stomped at her face. She poofed away. "I don't want to kill you." He said dull and long.

"I want to kill you." She was on a branch and he couldn't tell if that was really her or not. Her voice was cruel and toned. She obviously wanted revenge. "It doesn't matter anymore what you say Nano." She stressed his name and a sharp pain growled in her stomach. Hinata unknowingly placed her hand by her belly button.

He smirked, "I see..Well.. Come down and let us fight for your freedom." He snapped his fingers with a slim push, "You see," Vines grew heavily from both sides of Hinata and grabbed her arms and legs before she could even react, "I control this forest and when I breathe it breaths with me Hinata-chan."

She glared at him and continued to struggle around, "You bastard you think I won't kill you?"

(She's getting Narutos bad side…)

Nano's eyes twitched when he heard a small rustle, "Its quite possible… Slim to," He suddenly whipped around and threw a kunai. "NONE!" A loud squeal rang out and small twigs fell out from the dropping body, "You think you're so clever Hinata. You can never change who you are." The body laid motionlessly and he perked an eyebrow, "Always an outcast."

"Really?" A shadow rose from the bushes and all Hinatas disappeared when this specific image took place, "I say different." And her eyes glared with reflected image and past of hatred. "But… Like I said.. It doesn't matter anymore… I know I have someone who cares for me now.." She jumped down and was now face to face with him. He smirked with joy and his nails twirled with excitement, "Whether you believe it.. Or not." She dodged and almost slipped to the floor when he snatched for neck. She quickly back flipped and kicked straight at his face.

He gave a loud grunt and instantly began to wipe the mud away. Before she could have a chance to skim his face with her knuckles he had forgotten about the mud in his eyes and pounded her arm away.

Without even knowing it he hit a weak chakra. She knew that was going to pay but refused to give up. With effort through the slipping leaves she focused on his faint outline and raised her foot at him. She twisted her body to hit him once on the stomach then twisted round way again with another spine breaking kick.

He flew back on a tree and still was followed by another pain when she punched him hard core in the face. Leaves shuddered down and he groaned low. A small jutsu muttered from his lips and one Nano popped from behind her and covered her mouth, he was hurt but chuckled, "My Hinata. You have learned much from your teammates. How shocked I am but think of this as another payback." A small speck of blood hit his lips when he punched her in the stomach. He raised his lavender eyes and his fingers began to mist with a burning gray as before, "I must finish the task." but before he did this he hit about ten more weak chakras in her body and she began to weep when pain sunk in.

Hinata had given up from trying to move from the clone Nano and was beginning to see darkness everywhere, "I-I.. I tried Naruto-kun.." I tried to fight and keep going but.. It was over s-so fast..

"HE DOES WHAT!" Neji followed from behind Amber and grabbed her arm to make sure he heard what she said.

She cringed, "T-That's what he did to me too Neji-kun.."

Without even knowing it himself Neji placed his hand on her cheeks and examined her eyes. "He.. He took your eyes?… S-so you can not?"

"I can sense you… feel your presence as he has trained me to do so.. But.. No I can not see your face." She pulled away and leaned on a tree, "We must get to Hinata before its too late. I fear he might have taken her soul and began with the process-"

"What?"

"He kept saying that if he got Byakugan from at least two then he could take over all."

Neji then said to himself, "So he wants me to go after her.."

"That's why.." She looked down, "I'm leading you the wrong way. He put an Illusion jutsu and also taught me to oversee it without looking."

"Listen to me Amburame…" He turned her around and felt her tremble when he looked into her eyes, "She is like a sister to me and I love her… She was the only one who continued to care for me even when I did things imperfect… When I was a jerk… No matter what.. I have to… I just…"

Amber knew she couldn't say no and knew this was coming. She nodded and motioned a way for him to go.

At the same time--

Nano had let the her pain and groans continue to amuse him. He even laughed when blood began showing between her lips and singled out to the ground. He eventually got bored and raised his crooked fingers, "That was very amusing and I enjoy having you as my entertainment Hinata-chan .. But I must kill you now and move on before you're cousin arrives."

Her chest crushed in roughly and she gasped out for breaths. More blood slipped out as she loudly inhaled.

He simply pressed his nails on her forehead and began to leave scars when a quick and swift shadow went past and grabbed her. He angrily looked around.

Whoever it was.. Was going to pay.

"Looking for someone?" A tall tired blond boy had held Hinata between his arms and over his shoulder, a gleam echoed his eyes and thoughts and Nano smirked.

"Ready to join the fun cursed boy?"

A small smile played at Narutos lips but his eyes showed fury in his heart. "You know I am."

Ok I have to end it here again…. Sorry its short.. I try to make long stories but I always start typing late at night. I'm pretty much tired and falling asleep. So no.. I didn't spell check again.. FORGIVE ME! And review.
