**CHAPTER 1: THE KIDNAPPINGS**
When she was not assigned a mission, Ino Yamanaka worked in her family's flower shop. Most young ninjas would not want to be working in their parent's business on the side, Ino loved it. She enjoyed talking to people, seeing them smile while looking at the flowers, and seeing her friends occasionally was an added plus.
Today, was a busy day for the shop. She had many customers coming in for many different reasons. Earlier she had helped an older gentlemen find the perfect flowers for his late wifes grave, he had helped two sisters find flowers to give their mom for her birthday, she even had her sensei, Asuma Sarutobi, in picking up flowers for Kureni Sensei. Today was an emotional day. When she heard the bell at the front door ring she turned to face the front of the store.
"Hello! Welcome to Yama-" She then relized who it was. "Kiba? What are you doing here? Hello Akamaru!" She then pet the giant dog with a closed eye smile.
"Hey Ino, so I was just… um… wondering…" He was becoming flustered trying to ask the kunoichi for help with a task. Ino thought he was trying to ask her out.
"Kiba, sorry I am not interested." Ino said flatly
"No Ino!" Kiba was turning red. "I was going to ask about flowers!" he yelled out quickly at her still red in the face.
"But why would you want flowers, Kiba?" Ino questioned.
"Well…" Kiba started rubbing the back of his head, again he was still red in the face.
Then it dawned on Ino, "Are you buying flowers for a girl?! Oh who is it? Please tell me!"
Kiba knew better than to spill his secret to the blonde. She had one of the loudest mouths, well second to Sakura, who would be the next to know about it and with those two working together than all of Konoha would know. He just had to get his flowers and leave.
"Ino, th-that's not important. Um. Do you have any that are like a light purple color or something?" Kiba asked hoping not to give it away.
"Hm.. Maybe some of these?" Ino walked over to a flower that was tall and skinny and had several little flowers on it. "This is Lavendar. They're the prettiest purple flowers we have." Ino said excitedly with a closed eye smile.
"Great, I'll take them. Hinata will love these." Kiba didn't realize his little mishap
"HINATA?!" Ino was shocked
"Shhhhhhh! Shut up Ino!" Kiba put his hand over her mouth and looked around. There was no one around. "Please, do not tell anyone. I am begging you. Shino can be very protective over her, which so am I, but hes so much worse. Also, I don't want Neji to know. Please don't tell any one!"
"Okay Kiba, you have my word." Ino said nodding assuringly.
Kiba walked with Ino to the register to pay. He was ready to get out of there so that he can visit Hinata with the flowers. He thought they would look beautiful with her pale eyes and indigo hair. Kiba smiled to himself. He handed the money over to Ino
"Only half, on the house."Ino smiled. "but in return you have to come back to tell me how it went." Ino said with an evil grin
"We will see. Later Ino! Come on Akamaru!" and the two left the store.
"Good luck Kiba!" Ino called out after him and the dog.
Ino silently wished someone would buy flowers for her like that. He had a good color in mind, those will look great with Hinata's eyes. She was slightly jealous that he wasn't interested in her. Kiba was kind of attractive, but she didn't really realize it until now. She really wished Sai would get her flowers, instead of Kiba if she was being honest with herself. Sai doesn't really understand how emotions work though. Actually he is clueless. He wouldn't do it unless he read about it in a book somewhere.
Ino was still spacing out when her mom opened up the door that led to the back of the shop.
"Ino, we have a delivery that needs to be taken to this address." She said to her daughter.
"Okay mom" Ino looked at the address, it was located in one of the small villages nearby, which was a pain, but not unusual. Just meant she had to travel. The whole delivery itself would take about an hour and a half.
"Please go ahead dear, I'll watch up her" She smiled at her with a closed eye smile.
"Okay mom, I'll be back in about an hour and a half." The person who ordered them stated their name was 'D.S.'. Must be their initals.
Ino left the flower shop with the order. She was almost to the front gate when she spotted Sakura.
"Hey! Forehead!" Ino waved one of her arms to the pink haired girl.
"Hey Ino-pig!" Sakura waved and walked up to Ino.
"I have some news about Kiba to tell you about when I get back from this delivery. So come see me at the shop!"
"Okay I will, I'm busy anyway so I will see you then! Be careful!" Sakura said waving to her and running in the opposite direction of the front gate
Ino walked up to the guards at the gate and showed them the paper her mom had filled out before she had left saying that she was making a delivery in a nearby village. The guards glanced down at the paper, knowing usually that when Ino was leaving the village alone was when she needed to make a delivery for their familys business. They nodded and handed it back to her. Then Ino took off, with the delivery bag in her hand. She was jumping through the trees trying to get back as fast as possible. She hated being out by herself, not that she was scared, but she knew she was at a disadvantage when she would fight by herself. That is why she worked so well with her teammates, Shikamaru and Choji. They were the second generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho group. They were just as good at it as their parents too, they were very powerful, when together.
Ino was lost in thought thinking about her friends and their group, she did not notice she was being followed by Sasori and Deidara of the Akatsuki. She landed on a branch when a spider that was white and flat looking, she stopped and started to bend down and look at it when it exploded. Ino fell from the tree to the ground with a loud thump.
Man that hurt, what was that? Ino thought to herself. She looked up to see a hunched over man that made a lot of clicking noises and a man that had long blonde hair and long bangs in front of one of his eyes. They were both wearing black cloaks with big red clouds on them. Ino recognized them immediately as Akatsuki members.
Ino weakly stood up ready to fight.
"What do you want?!" She yelled at them in a fighting stance.
"That's simple, un, you." Deidara said to her coming at her with clay bombs throwing them. Ino jumped in the air and off the side of a tree, the clay bombs missing her.
"Well what do you want me for?!" She yelled coming at the blonde after landing on the ground with shuriken in hands. She noticed off the bat that he was a distance fighter. So his close combat would be his weak point, she thought to herself. Thanks Shikamaru for teaching me how to analyze a battle.
When she got close to him she chucked the shuriken at him as hard as she could, he easy stopped them using clay but he was distracted when Ino came at him from the side and kicked him in the side of the head causing him to almost lose his balance. She was still in air when a large spikey tail sung and hit her in the stomach knocking her across the clearing into a tree, the hunched man had attacked. She slid down and was sitting on the ground at the base of the tree, she weakly stood up again, read to keep fighting.
"Deidara, you let her get a hit on you. Why are you going easy on her. She is obviously a little more skilled than we thought." Sasori said standing next to Deidara.
Deidara did not know why he had let the girl get a hit on him. He was distracted by something. During his thinking the girl was already charging at the duo. Sasori had already sent a needle from his outer shell, hurling towards her, she noticed and quickly jumped out of the way. While in air she felt something still sting her in the arm, it was the needle he had sent, attached to a chakra string. This guy is a puppet user. Ino thought to herself. She had no idea what was on that needle, but she knew she had a few minutes before it would affect her. She had to act quickly.
She landed on the ground and pulled out the need and started charging toward the duo as fast as she could. If I can just get near them I can perform the jutsu that allows me to be able to control their bodies without leaving my own, she thought. She relized she had that jutsu after seeing that he was a puppet master.
She got near them and started doing taijutsu between the two of them. Both were easily avoiding her attacks and when they jumped back about 4 feet from her on both sides, to attack her from both sides, she performed the hand signs for her jutsu.
They stopped in their tracks.
"Body Controling Jutsu, complete." She said mimicking what her teammate always said when he used his shadow possession jutsu. The difference was that her justsu lasted only half as long as Shikamaru's. She needed to work fast. She was able to control them with her mind, keeping her hand in a certain sign. With out herself moving, she had decided she was going to have the men run in the opposite direction of konoha. Once her jutsu would wear off she would flee there as fast as she could to warn the hokage.
Right when the men had took their first step, Ino felt her head go light and her eyes go dark. She fell to the ground exhausted, releaseing the two men from her Jutsu.
"What happened to her, un?" Deidara questioned Sasori.
"You forget I hit her with a needle. On that needle was a type of poison that drained her chakra use the more she exerted herself. So when she was using taijutsu between us, she was actually depleting her chakra. She had just enough to perform that last jutsu that took over your body Deidara."
"Wait, un, it didn't take yours over?" He questioned.
"I am a puppet, it would not be possible to use her jutsu's on me. I knew what she was doing when she performed using those hand signs. Unlike you, I research my target before I attack them, Deidara."
"Whatever, un. Let just tie her up and get back to the hide out un." "Deidara walked over to Ino's lifeless body on the ground and bent over to start wrapping her up, "How long will that poison last, un?" He said looking over his shoulder at Sasori.
"A couple of hours." He said emotionless
"Well, un, guess we don't have to tie her up then, un." He then used his clay to make a giant bird that would fly them back to the hideout. Once it was done, he bent over and careful picked up Ino, jumped on the bird and layed her down on it. He silently admired her beauty, brushing the hair out of her face.
That did not go unnoticed by Sasori, but he did not say anything. He silently jumped onto the clay bird and they took off towards the hideout. Leaving the area where they successfully captured Ino.
Tenten was headed back to Konoha, she had been training in the forest since early that morning. She was going to meet Neji, Rock Lee, and Guy Sensei at a restaurant to eat together since they haven't had a chance to where they have all been busy. Lee had been the one to tell her about it. When he told her he had been acting a weird, which is funny but he was always werid. Only this time, it wasn't the normal weird. It was like he was hiding something.
He had told her they were eating at one of the nicest restaurants in town for lunch, so she needed to look nice. She headed home quickly and changed out of her training clothes and into a pink kimono that had red flowers on it. It was short but not exposing anything. It was a very simple dress. She took her hair out of her trademark buns and left her hair down in loose curls.
She then started walking to said restaurant, which was across a bridge in town. As she was walking up the bridge she spotted Neji standing in the middle of it looking off to one side. He looked very nice. Instead of his usual white clothes that he wore often as a Hyuuga, he was wearing black one, which were what the Hyuuga wore for important events.
Tenten approached Neji, "Hey Neji! You look nice!" Tenten said with a closed eye smile.
Neji turned at the sound of her voice, and he stunned by her beauty. She look just as beautiful as always. He couldn't get any words out because he was struck by her radiance.
"Neji? Are you okay? You're face is a little red, do you have a fever?" Tenten asked walking close to Neji and putting her hand on his forehead.
Sh-shes so close to me. Why am I acting like this, I never lose my composure? But when I am around Tenten, I get this weird feeling in my chest. Neji thought to himself.
"Hm, you don't seem to have a fever, Neji. Is something wrong?" Tenten asked looking at him with her big brown eyes. Those were Neji's weakness.
Neji clear his throat, "Um no Tenten, I am just slightly warm is all." He said.
"Well, okay!" She smiled at him with another closed eye smile, "Let's go meet Lee and Guy Sensei!" She took Neji's arm and started walking in the direction of the restaurant. Neji stopped in his tracks causing Tenten to stop. She turned and looked at him curiously.
"Actually Tenten, we will not be meeting Lee and Guy Sensei." Neji said
"Well why not? We haven't seen them in a long time. Lee invited me and everything. Don't you think-"
"Tenten, I had Lee lie to you so you would come. I wanted to talk to you about something."
Tenten was confused. She did not understand what he was getting too. Neji could see the confusion on her face.
"Let us take a walk through the park, Tenten."
The two were walking side by side through the park, they were enjoying light conversation among each other, they talked about different things such as Guy Sensei and Lee, they talked about the Hyuuga family, how Neji's training as an Anbu was going, and how Tenten was helping with the upcoming Chunin exams. They always had good conversations. When suddenly Tenten's stomach growled. Neji laughed and looked at her.
"I guess you didn't eat did you Tenten."
She turned a little red and said "I was kinda relying on eating with everyone, so no I didn't."
"Well, come on, I have something already prepared for us." Neji took her hand, Tenten noticed this, and started walking toward the front gate.
"Neji where are we going?" Tenten asked confused.
"Don't worry, you will see." Neji said looking at her.
They were almost to the gate, Neji looked at the guards and nodded, they nodded back. He had come earlier and told them he would be passing through here with Tenten later. So they already knew his business.
They walked to a clearing hat had many beautiful flowers scattered throughout the clearing. Right in the middle, was a blanket with a basket sitting in the middle.
"Neji! Tenten! I hope you enjoy your date of youthful lov-" Lee had jumped out from behind a tree and was shut up quickly by Neji knocking him off his feet.
"Neji, I do not wish to fight you right now, you are currently busy doing something." Lee said in his usual tone.
"Thanks Lee, talk to you later." Neji said waving him off.
"Neji, did Lee set this up for us?" Tenten asked putting two and two together
"Lee may be annoying, but he is a good friend and comrade." Neji said looking at Tenten.
The two walked toward the blanket that was layed out in the middle of the clearing. The blanket was the one that Tenten had made Neji when he was very ill with the Flu for a week. She recognized it and looked at Neji who just smiled at her. Neji sat down on the blanket and Tenten sat down across from him on the blanket. Neji opened up the basket and started pulling food from it when he suddenly stoped not finding something; he looked inside the basket and realized that Lee had forgot something, the new weapon he had got Tenten. Frustrated, Neji stood up and looked at Tenten who was setting up the food for them to eat.
"Tenten, I will be back, seems as though Lee forgot something really important. I will be back momentarily." Neji said and took off into the woods back to Konoha. Tenten silently put out the rest of the food, dividing it among the two so they could share. When she was finished she sat in silence, thinking about everything.
I wonder why Neji brought me here? Why did he grab my hand earlier when he decided to bring me here? This is getting so confusing. Ten thought to her self. She started to remember back when she was assigned to the same team as Neji, she was so excited. He was so cool and strong. So many girls flocked to him because he was handsome back then too. She blushed at the thought. She would never actually tell Neji that she had a slight crush on him. She started to remember the mission they were on a year ago.
It was Team Guy, and they were on a mission in Earth country. They were there inspecting a suspicious meeting between thugs that were in a ware house. Her and Neji were in the ally next to the war house, while Guy sensei and Lee were across the street on top of a building. They then heard a noise coming from the ware house, along with someone walking out of it and toward their ally. Neji pushed Tenten up against the wall, pulled her face up to his, and touched his lips into hers. She didn't know what to think, normally she would have slapped him, but this felt different. It felt right. She molded into the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck and his down at her waist. She was pressed against a wall. They felt a presence at the end of the ally when someone said, "Don't worry boss, just a bunch of kids making out," and he walked away. Neji pulled his face away from hers, staing into her eyes. Whispering a "that was close" they carried on through the mission- like it never happened- successfully and completed the mission.
That was Tenten's favorite mission. She had never kissed a boy, and there she was kissing her long time crush that night. They have never talked about it with each other. She felt someones chakra coming towards her, but it seemed different than usual.
Tenten turned around and looked towards where it was coming. "Neji?" She said standing up slowly. Out walked a girl with purple hair, a flower in her hair. She was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it. Tenten knew that it was an Akatsuki member. She soon felt another chakra source, and out walked another Akatsuki who was carrying a large sword.
"Wh-what do you want?!" Tenten yelled.
The girl lifted up her arm and she dispersed into many small things of paper flying through the wind toward Tenten. They were circling her like a vortex. Tenten reached down to her leg pouch to grab a scroll that had her weapons, then realized she had removed it while getting ready to come see Neji. Tenten started to panic, she began looking around herself but she was surrounded by a vortex of paper.
Out of nowhere, a little area of the vortex opens up fast enough to let the man with a big sword charge in and swing his wrapped sword at the un-expecting kunoichi, knocking her to the ground.
She was a distance fighter, not a close combat fighter. Some of the papers flying around her formed back into the girl with the purple hair.
"Kisame, we need to hurry. I feel the chakra of that boy coming here." She said to the man with the sword. "I'll take care of it by making her unconscious." And with that the girl with purple hair raised her arm toward Tenten, and a paper flew over her mouth and nose.
It had a weird smell to it, after breathing it in, Tenten fell unconscious.
Konan wrapped her paper around her carrying her as they fled the scene where they successfully kidnapped Tenten.
Sakura was headed home to get some dinner. She had been at the hospital all day seeing patients so she was exhausted. It was a very busy day. She was headed to the market to get some groceries so she could cook herself something. Along the way she had run into Ino, who told her she needed to talk to her about Kiba for some reason? How weird.
Anyway, she got to the market and started looking around, trying to decide what she wanted to eat. It was getting late in the afternoon so it would be dark out before too long. Something quick and easy was what she needed. After what felt like hours (when really it was only 15 minutes) she settled on making just some rice and chicken. It was a classic, favorite meal for her. She bought the supplies she needed then started making her way to her apartment.
Along the way she stopped by Naruto's apartment. He was currently gone on a mission, so Sakura liked to stop by to make sure everything was still in order and okay. She walked into the small apartment to see it was still the terrible mess that he always left it in. She decided she would clean it before heading to her own apartment. She cleaned the empty bowls of ramen, picked up his laundry, and made his bed. On the table beside his bed was a picture of him, herself, Kakashi, and Sasuke. She picked the picture up, wiping off some dust that was on it and looked at it.
Small tears started to form in her eyes, but she stopped them from spilling over. She knew Naruto would do anything he could to help bring Sasuke back. She knew she could rely on him to fix their friendship. He was annoying, loud, stubborn, and obnoxious; but he was reliable and always kept his word. That's why she loved him, like a friend of course.
She put the picture down and left his apartment locking the door behind her, making her way to her apartment. By now the sun had set and it was beginning to get chilly. She was almost to her apartment when she felt something off about the aura of her apartment. She pushed it aside, walked up to her door, and put the key in. She opened the door and turned the lights on, and something still felt off about it.
Again, she brushed it off as being tired from a long day's work. She went straight to the kitchen with her groceries to prepare for her dinner. She turned the stove on, putting a pan on it with water and putting rice in it. She took out her chicken, put it on a pan, and put it in the stove. Now she just needed to wait.
She decided to busy herself by cleaning, she had left in a hurry this morning because she was going to be late getting to the hospital, so she had left her apartment in a mess. She started picking up the clothes in her room and hanging them back up on hangers. She had trouble deciding what to wear then finally deciding to wear her normal red outfit. After picking up the clothes she made her bed quickly then decided to head to the bathroom and clean up the mess in there.
She decided it had been almost long enough for her food to be done, so she started walking down the hallway, she felt strange again. She stopped for a second in the hallway, and she heard a 'click' noise coming from the kitchen. That was the stove. She thought. Somehow it turned off.
She reached her hand to her bag and grabbed a kunai, she walked down the hallway and turned the corner into her kitchen to see a man sitting at her dining room table looking at her.
The man had jet black hair and eyes that could stare through anything. He resembled Sauske. When she saw what he was wearing, she started trembling. A black cloak, with red clouds. He looks like Sasuke… She started thinking to herself.
"Hello, Sakura." The man said emotionless while staring at her with emotionless eyes. Sakura gulped. The man stood up, walked over to her stove and looked at the rice. "I thought your rice was done."
"Y-you're Sasukes b-brother, aren't you?!" She stuttered out, still holding a kunai stretched out.
"So you see the resemblance. Yes, I am." He said turning back around. "My name is Itachi Uchiha."
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Sakura yelled at him, tears about to spill over seeing the person she loved older brother. She hated him just as much as Sasuke did, just because he made Sasuke leave Konoha. Well he didn't make him. He made Sasuke thirst for revenge, when he should just be with her and the rest of Konoha 12.
"Sakura, I do not want to fight. I just need to complete my mission."
"AND WHAT IS YOUR MISSION?!"
"To kidnap you and take you to our hideout." He said emotionless. "It would be in your best interest to corporate, I don't want to fight-" He was cut off by Sakura charging at him with a chakra filled fist ready to send him flying through her wall. Simply, Itachi Dodged, grabbing her wrist and twisting it back. "Sakura, I don't want to have to force you."
"TO HELL AM I GOING ANY WHERE WITH YOU!" Sakura yelled. Swinging her other chakra filled fist towards him. Again, Itachi was able to stop it just by catching her.
"Because of you, Sasuke left the village! He wouldn't even give me a chance! You will not take me anywhere, Itachi! Not without a fight!" Sakura was yelling at Itachi even though he had hold of both her arms.
"Let us take this somewhere with more room then, and like that Itachi had teleported them to the school yard where they both once played at when they were younger.
Itachi roughly let go of Sakura, knocking her to the ground while doing so.
"If you feel as though you have a chance, then fight me. Maybe if you can defeat me, my brother might come back you." He said rudely.
"Do not speak about him!" Sakura spit at him while standing up. "I will defeat, not for Sasuke, but for myself and my village! You're a traitor!" She started running toward him with chakra powered to her feet so she was faster and chakra in her fists. Itachi easily dodged the first punch and caught the second one looking into her eye when she poofed away into a piece of wood. Substitution. He felt her coming at him from behind and turned with a kick straight up to her chin, knocking her toward the woods.
That hurt. She thought. She wiped her mouth and stood up.
"I'm not going down that easy!" She yelled, punching the ground causing it to crumble and move. Itachi was already prepared. He activated his Sharingan and caught the girl in a genjutsu.
Sakura looked up to see her punch hadn't worked at all. In fact it didn't even budge the ground. She looked around frantically, not seeing itachi. Instead she saw Sasuke.
"Sasuke? Did you cause Itachi to flee?" She questioned nervously.
"Sakura, your annoying and a disgrace to Konoha." He spat. He turned around and began walking away.
She felt weird, why would he just show up? Genjutsu.
She focused all her chakra to her mind, reminding herself this was not reality. She powered up her fist, and punched herself in the gut. It knocked the air out of her. But she was out of the genjutsu. She looked up at Itachi who still had his sharingan activated.
"Like I said, you will not get me that easy." She noticed she had hit the ground and caused it to crumble. She took note of the tree he was standing under to his left and the wall to the academy that was about 20 feet to his right. She had a plan.
She started charging toward him, and started using normal taijutsu to spar slightly with him. He's fast she thought. When she acted like she was going to punch him in the head he dodged and her momentum was sending her toward the tree. With all the chakra she could muster, she hit the tree knocking it out of the ground and picked it up turning it toward Itachi.
The tree made contact with him knocking him into the wall, through it actually. It worked! She started toward the hole in the wall, when Itachi emerged from it unharmed.
"That was smart." He said and in a snap he was behind her. "But I am sick of fighting." He whispered from behind her, at the same time he used the side of his hand to hit her in the back of the neck knocking her out.
She was running low on chakra from all those powered punches anyway. And Pain had said this was going to be a challenge, what a joke.
He bent over to pick her up when she poofed away, shadow clone?! He turned to see a chakra powered fist coming straight toward his face. It made contact with him and knocked him into the hole in the academy making the hole bigger.
"Ha, I caught you off guard! No way in hell am I going with you anywhere." She started cgargin toward him surround by a cloud of dust where he hit the ground. A needle came through the dust cloud towards Sakura and made contact with her thigh.
Itachi walked through the dust cloud with out a single scratch on him.
"I told you, I am done with this fight." Sakura then fell forward. She was finally out of chakra. She was paralyzed.
"What, what happened to me?!"
"You have been paralyzed and your chakra has been blocked off. We're leaving now." Itachi bent over, and put a cloth over her mouth and nose. When she breathed in the smell on the cloth, she became unconscious. Itachi picked her up over his shoulder and fled, successfully kidnapping Sakura.
Hinata was in her happy place. She was in the garden at the Hyuuga estate looking at her flowers. She loved flowers very much. She enjoyed the smell, the sight, and the calming aura that they had.
Earlier in the day she had to sit through a training session with some of the Hyuuga elders. Then she went with Neji to train. He had told Hinata about his plans to surprise Tenten, and ask her out. Hinata was very glad her cousin had been able to find someone he liked so much. It wasn't very often that her cousin would become flustered talking about someone.
She had noticed his feelings about a year ago when he got back from a mission in Earth Country. He was acting different, almost like he was thinking really hard about something. When Hinata had question him about it, his face turned red and he simply told her that he had some things on his mind that he needed to figure out. He had went on a mission with the rest of team Guy, so she assumed that it had something to do with Tenten.
She smiled and giggled to herself thinking about it. She was enjoying herself by the small koi pond when someone walked out side behind her. She turned to see it was her Teammate, Kiba.
"Oh, hello Kiba! Where's Akamaru?" Hinata said with a closed eye smile.
"H-hey Hinata. He's back at my house." Kiba said while rubbing the back of his head and with a slight blush on his face. "I-I brought you these." He pulled his hand out from behind his back and exposed beautiful Lavenders. "I thought, you know, they'd match your eyes and stuff." He said nervously.
"Thank you Kiba! They're beautiful. I will put them in water and put them in my room." She walked past him and into the estate, which the room she entered actually happened to be her own bedroom. She walked across the hall, Kiba could hear water running, and she returned with a vase of water. She put the Lavenders in the vase and placed the vase next to her window.
"There, now they're good." She said. "So what brings you here Kiba? We usually don't spar together until the weekend. Is something the matter?" She questioned.
"N-no! Actually, I came to see if you wanted to go for a walk in the garden and then maybe for some dinner later tonight?"
"That sounds fun! Lets see if Shino and Kureni Sensei want to join and-"
"Actually," he cut her off, "I was kind of hoping it could just be me and you.." he said nervously.
Hinata didn't think anything of it. She always ate with Kiba alone and sometimes she done the same with Shino. Kiba was one of her best friends. He was also one of the very few she did not stutter in front of. She trusted him very much, they had been a team since they were genin.
"Sure Kiba! Let go for that walk first." Hinata said, she really wanted to finish her walk through the garden outside the door in her bedroom. They walked outside and started walking through the flowers.
"Man, Hinata. You really like flowers don't you?"
"Oh yes, they're so calming." Hinata said nodding
"So, how did training go today? Don't you usually train with Neji" he asked trying to keep talking to her. He loved the sound of her melodic voice.
"Yes I do. It went well, but Neji is a tough opponent. If I keep training hard with him I think I will be able to impress my father." She said confidently
"That's the way to be. Good job Hinata!" Kiba said hugging her. When he pulled back he looked down at her.
He was standing close to her, his hands on both of her shoulders. He brushed the hair out of her face, her wide eyes looking at him in confusion.
"Hinata, I've always thought you were strong." He said silently.
"Kiba.. I.." she started to say something when he started bending down closing his eyes. Hinata pulled away.
Kiba looked down at her, with a sad look on his face.
"It's because of Naruto, isn't it?" He said solemly.
Hinata just stayed quiet. The answer was, yes. She had already planned on trying to tell Naruto about her feelings after he returned from him mission. She had loved him since they were small kids in the academy. She admired his hard work and determination, she has believed in him for so long. She believed he could accomplish so much in his life. He could become anything he wanted to be, this included the Hokage. He was an amazing man, and she loved him so much.
"Kiba, I h-had n-no idea y-you felt t-this way…" Hinata stuttered out.
Shit. Kiba thought to himself. She was stuttering again. It took so long to get her to trust him, and for her to be comfortable around him. All the time, went to waste. He thought that after so long she would get over Naruto, the kid had eyes for Sakura. Which was stupid, Hinata was obviously the most beautiful girl in the Konoha 12. The kid was a moron, yeah he was strong, but Hinata deserved someone who would notice her and love her for who she was.
"Hinata, you deserve to be happy. I can give that to you." He said grabbing her hands. And looking into her eyes. "Hinata, I know so much about you. I could be the one you lean on."
Hinata was speechless. There were very few people in this world she could trust, Kiba was one of them. She had to admit that she used to find him cute, but it was never much of a thought considering she always had eyes for Naruto.
"K-Kiba… I…-" Kiba put his finger to her lips.
"Its okay Hinata. Please think about it, okay? I'll be here after he gets back too. Until then, lets just enjoy the rest of our walk and our dinner tonight." Kiba said smiling at her.
"Okay Kiba." Hinata said with a small smile.
"Well isn't this just fucking adorable, huh Kakuzu?" They heard a loud voice ring out, they turned to look and see two men wearing red cloaks with big red clouds on them. Kiba stood in front of Hinata protectively.
"Who are you?!" Kiba yelled out.
"Kiba, they're part of the Akatsuki.." Hinata whispered from behind Kiba. She pushed down the arm that was in front of her protectively. She was ready to fight.
Hidan took note of the small petite girl. He had been watching the exchange between the two since the kid arrived at her house. What a tool. Hidan had to admit, the girl named Hinata was quite cute, standing there acting all tough. No, she was better than cute. She was sexy standing like that. Hidan licked his lips.
"Well my name is fucking Hidan, and I am here to take your sexy fucking girlfriend." Hidan said nonchalantly.
"Why are you h-here?" Hinata stuttered out.
"Well, gorgeous, we are here to kidnap you."
"You're not getting near her, you bastard!" Kiba charged at him.
Hidan flipped him over his head. While in the air, Kiba let out a loud whistle. Shortly after lnding on the ground near the other Akatsuki member, Akamaru showed up.
"Alright Akamaru, lets do this! Hinata, distract this guys partner!" Hinata nodded and ran over to the other man. Activating her byakugan in the process.
She started to use her gentle fist on Kakuzu, landing only one hit after over 90 thrusts toward him. It was only the tenketsu point in his elbow. That wouldn't do. This guys was fast for being someone so large. Of course he is, he is in the Akatsuki. Hinata would have to fight as hard as she could. She was becoming worried though, he was dodging all her attacks. She jumped back from him, panting from exhaustion. He done the same. They both charged at each other, Hinata landed a fatal blow to his chest, right where his heart was. Or where it should be. Why is he still standing?
She heard a chuckle.
"Man, you could get me a pretty penny with those eyes of yours. But you're not very well educated on the members of the Akatsuki are you?"
She had missed his heart, because he had four different ones through his body. She had read about him, this man's name was Kakuzu.
Meanwhile, Kiba and Akamaru had been attempting to hit Hidan with their fang over fang attack, something the two had mastered.
"KIBA!" He heard Hinata yell, "DON'T LET HIS SCYTHE TOUCH YOU!"
It was too late, Hidan had got some of his blood on the tip of his scythe and began performing his ritual, the one Kiba had read about in the Bingo books. Hidan licked it off and drew a symbol with his feet, he turned black and white. He stabbed him self in the leg with his scythe.
Kiba bucked over screaming, his leg bleeding and he was holding it.
"It's time to complete this ritual. You will not be a sacrifice to my lord Jashin!" He was about to stab himself in the chest when he heard a yell.
"STOP!" Hinata was yelling. "Please, if you don't kill him, I will come with you without resisting."
Hidan looked at the beauty, she really cared for this kid even though she shut him down. Hidan than looked at Kakuzu.
Kakazu walked up behind Hinata, tying her hands together.
"Hinata! NO!" Kiba was yelling from the ground, he was surrounded by blood.
Hidan had already turned back normal, he walked over to the kid and kicked him in the face, knocking him out.
"Come-on princess. Its time we got you to the fucking hideout."
Kakuzu was still behind Hinata, he put a cloth over her mouth and nose, she breathed in the smell and fell unconscious.
Before her beautiful face could hit the ground, Hidan caught her and picked her up bridal style.
The two Akatsuki headed back to the hideout, successfully kidnapping Hinata.
A/N: Wow, that was a hard chapter to write. I know it seemed like i was repeating my self at the end of each kidnapping, but i liked saying that "they successfully..." and all. Idk, thought it made it seem more put together. Anyway, thanks for reading guys! Please please please leave a review, wold love to know what you think of it. Also tell me what you want in the next chapter, would you rather so how Konoha reacts or would you rather see what happened when they get back to the hideout with the Kunoichi?
Also, i have 4 exams coming up, so it might seem like i am taking forever to update, but be patient! I promise i will update, because i have really enjoyed writing this. :)
