Chapter 4

A week had gone by, and the girls had not left the rooms they had been assigned to. Whenever the person who was left in charge of the girl had to leave, the girls would be cuffed with chakra blocking handcuffs and sometimes (depending on the person) would be knocked out if the girl had tried to put up a fuss. Or at least that is what they were told to do, not all of them had been following the rules like they were supposed to.

She is so fucking loud, un. Deidara thought leaving his room with the beautiful blonde left in there, cuffed and knocked out. And to think I thought she was beautiful, un.

He started walking toward the kitchen, he was hungry for some breakfast, which was unusual because he never wanted breakfast. Guess fighting with the Yamanaka girl caused him to work up an appetite. He had asked the girl to calm down and shut up multiple times throughout the week, but she refused to. Then when she refused, Deidara would get frustrated and yell at her. That never made the situation any better. And when he yelled, she yelled back. So most of the week she had been at the hideout, she had been knocked out.

When he got to the kitchen, most of the food had been cleaned out. Looked like they had left just enough food if everyone wanted something to eat, and enough to feed the girls they had kidnapped. Hm, shes not getting any food today, that bitch, un. He thought to himself with a smirk on his face. When he grabbed the apple off the counter, and was about to leave the kitchen, he ran into Sasori.

"You do realize, yelling at her all the time will not make the situation any better." He said stopping in front of him in the kitchen.

"And what the hell, un, do you know about women you puppet?!" Deidara said obviously furious at the statement Sasori had made.

"I know that they are women and like most, they are delicate. Even if they are shinobi from the leaf village, they are women."

"Hm. Try and talk to the bitch I have then, un."

"Deidara, yours is just a little more.. vocal than the other ones. Just try and be a gentleman to her."

"We're the akatsuki, not gentlemen, un."

"True, but you were able to be one when we first captured her."

Deidara paused for a moment to think. Even though she yells a lot, shes still gorgeous. Deidara was still deep in thought when sasori walked past him into the kitchen to grab some granola bars.

"Try asking her about something or find something she enjoys. That's what I done to convince Tenten to trust me. She is now allowed to roam freely through my room and we train everyday now. Of course her chakra is cut off still, so she can't escape or attack anything, but at least she isn't knocked out most of the time." Sasori said walking past Deidara out of the kitchen.

"How do you know that the Yamanaka girl is knocked out, un?!"

"You both are loud-mouthed idiots." He said disappearing into the dark hallway.

Guess I better try and talk to the girl. Deidara thought to himelf. She was knocked out now though, and will be probably until we relocate to the next hideout.

Sasori hadn't been 100% honest with Deidara. It took a lot more to gain the girls trust than just talking to her. He had actually grown to find the girl to be an intelligent colleague. Her knowledge on the use of weapons was amazing.

Earlier in the week, the next day after being kidnapped, she nagged all day. Asking about what she was wanted for, why she was here, what will happen to her, etc. And when Sasori had let it slip that her friends had been kidnapped, she went crazy. He was able to immobilize her, by hitting her with a needle with some poison on it. The poison obviously didn't kill her, but it didn't feel great. She had fallen down, completely paralyzed. Basically, forced to sit and watch Sasori work on his puppets. It was like this for two days. She would gain her movement back and start doing the same thing every 4 hours or so, until she went to sleep at night.

On the third day, she began to move, and as Sasori readied himself to hit her with another needle, she put her hands up in defeat.

"Look, I realize now I am not going to get anywhere by yelling all the time. I'll stop. I promise." She said with her hands still in the air. "I noticed, however, that you're struggling with one of your puppets."

It was true. While he had been stuck in the room with Tenten he had thought of an idea that was based off her way of combat, which focuses around weapons. He had made a large puppet, that could throw shuriken, but he could never control how far and how hard he threw them. It really began to frustrate Sasori.

"The puppet you made huge. For some reason, you're making it throw shuriken? Since you're able to control the puppets movement, can't you give it a weapon that's bigger but still has range?"

Sasori hadn't thought of that. He mainly wanted it to be able to attack from far away.

"What do you suggest?" He asked her curiously.

"Well, what are your options of weapons here?" Tenten asked curiously

"If this is an attempt to escape, you can forget it."

"I have no chakra, so I can't attack you or escape. I'm simply curious."

"Come with me."

Sasori stood up and she followed after him. They began walking down the hallway, and after many turns and walking for what seemed like 15 minutes, they approached a vault door.

"Turn around."

Tenten obliged, and turned around. She heard clicking and and turning and heard the door open.

"Come."

She followed him into the room, and it was as large as a training room. Walls were lined with weapons from all across the country. Tenten was in heaven. She immediately started thinking of a million different ways she could use these weapons for her own combat.

Weapons she had never seen before, she started coming up with ways she could use them in combat. She was so deep in thought walking around in the room with a smile on her face and touch every weapon in the room. She would pick them up, strike with one, and put it back to go to the next weapon. She couldn't remember the last time she was so happy.

Except when she was with Neji, that one night of the mission a year ago. Her aura completely changed and she was no longer as happy as she was when she first got to the weapon room. She didn't pick up anymore of the weapons, she simply ran her hand over them and walked to the next one.

Sasori had been watching her from behind. It was probably a bad idea to let the enemy run about their sacred weapon room playing with them like they're toys. But he could not help but feel... happy… seeing her so happy. She looked stunning from behind too. He could see her toned legs and toned… other parts. Along with her hair still being down from her buns falling down her back. She looked beautiful. He was enjoying watching her, when her composure faltered slightly when she touched another weapon and dropped her hand and looked down. He thought he saw a few wet spots show up on the ground, like she was crying. She then lifted her head back up and just started running her hand across the weapons, one by one. Sasori couldn't handle watching her like this anymore. Sasori decided to clear his throat.

Tenten heard it and immediately turned around with a blush. "Sorry! I just love looking at weapons. I've never seen so many." She put on a fake smile. Sasori could tell. He wouldn't question it, however.

"So what do you suggest?" Sasori asked walking to stand by her looking at the walls of weapons.

"Honestly, I have a few different ideas. Your puppet is so large, that when it throws the simple, small shuriken, its usualy too hard and uncontrollable. I simply going to assume you want it to not have to hold back, like be extremely powerful. So what if you used a larger one? Like this windmill shuriken?" She picked up one of the largest ones in the room like it was a feather. She's strong. Sasori thought to himself.

"Wouldn't the same thing happen as the other one? I was expecting you to find a different kind of weapon. Not the same one, just bigger." That sounded more rude than he expected.

"Just trust me on this, and try it out!"

Sasori didn't want to have the girl think he trusted her. So he smirked and said, "Fine then, spar with my puppet."

Tenten was caught off guard, she wasn't prepared to have to do this. "Fine." She finally said, with also a smirk on her face.

The next day, Tenten was woken up by Sasori throwing clothes on her.

"What are these for?" She asked.

"Today, you will spar with my puppet. I doubt you'll be able to fight while wearing… that." Sasori nodded towards her clothes and turned his head with a small blush.

Tenten looked down to notice, her full leg was out from her kimono. She smiled and shrugged it off. "Well it will be nice to finally be in some comfortable clothes."

"Hurry and get dressed."

Tenten shook her head and walked to the bathroom. She walked out and looked like a completely different person. She was now wearing fishnet tights along with a pair of shorts and a cropped tanktop. She had wrapped her upper thigh and put a shuriken pouch on it. Her hair was now up in her signature buns. I guess I was right to steal some of Konan's hair tie things.

"How am I supposed to fight without my weapon scrolls?"

"Help yourself to any of the weapons and scrolls in the weapon room. That's where we are headed now." And Sasori turned to walk out of the room, with Tenten following after.

As they were walking, Sasori began to speak. "Now, I have not cut off your chakra supply. However, I would suggest not trying to escape. I will be having Hidan and Deidara watching us spar, along with those they captured whose chakra is still cut off. If you try to escape or attack us, you will be killed along with your friends in the room."

He gets straight to the point. Tenten thought to herself. "Understood." She said. "But," Sasori raised an eyebrow to what she had to say. "what if I beat you?"

Sasori chuckled. "That will not happen. But if it does," He turned to face her, "we will discuss what type of 'reward' you might receive."

Tenten shook her head showing she understood. He is a cocky bastard.

After getting what she needed from the weapon room, they walked to a room she assumed to be the training room. It was huge, and there were all kinds of training machines and gadgets around the room. And right in the middle, was a sparing ground. Sitting on some benches near it were, in order, Deidara, Ino, Hinata, and Hidan. Deidara was sitting just as far as he could be away from Ino. Ino was sobbing, with her arms around Hinata's neck and her face buried in her hair. Hinata had a slight blush across her face and was patting Ino on the back. Hidan was staring at Hinata with a smirk on his face. He looked like he could eat her for dinner or something. Tenten took off running towards the girls, as she neared, the two men who were with them stood up ready to protect them.

"Let her see them." Sasori said

"Sasori, un, why be so nice to them?" Deidara questioned.

But reguardless, the two moved out of the way and Tenten tackled into the two girls. They held each other for what seemed like hours, with Ino sobbing the whole time.

"Its time, Tenten. Let us spar." Sasori said behind her

Tenten leaned away from the girls to get a good look at them. Ino was bruised all over. She had put up a fight, and she could hear the fights between her and Deidara. They usually stopped fighting with her just being knocked out. Hinata on the other hand… looked to be fine. Not one scratch on her. She had bathed recently, probably that morning, Tenten could smell the shampoo on her. She thought if anyone was going to be in trouble when it comes to the men they were assigned to, it would have been Hinata because Hidan is very… well you know.

Tenten nodded at her friends and turned to walk to the sparring grounds. She walked to the opposite side of the sparring area from Sasori and his puppet. She took her stance and waited. They just looked at each other for what seemed like forever.

"Fucking start killing each other already!" Hidan yelled from the sidelines.

As soon as he had said it, he saw Tenten take off towards the puppet that was 2 meters in front of Sasori. I thought she was a distance fighter, that's why she wanted the scrolls. Sasori said to himself.

Tenten attacked the puppet from the right side, by trying to kick it in the side of the head. The puppet easily dodged it and grabbed Tenten by her other leg. It went to throw her across the room and suddenly it turned into a log. Substitution jutsu.

As soon as she had poofed away, the puppet had 4 different katanas coming at him from all directions. Sasori had been too caught up in the fact that Tenten was attacking head on rather than staying at a distance to realize she had unrolled 4 of her scrolls around him and his puppet to attack him. She's smart. But she is not fast enough.

Sasori easily dodged the Katana coming from his back and had his puppet use his windmill shuriken to knock the other 3 away. It returned back to him like a boomerang. Hm. She was right about the windmill shuriken.

Without being able to get another thought in, There were already 20 more shuriken coming at Sasori and his puppet. He moved his chakra strings slightly for the puppet to create a dome around himself and his puppet.

"You think you will be able to land a scratch on me by moving that slow? Your speed needs to improve." Sasori said from inside the dome. Tenten threw more shuriken at the dome but it could not break through. Suddenly it opened, slowly. Tenten prepared by throwing kunai at it to catch him off guard, but all it hit was the ground past it. They were gone.

Suddenly, she heard a whizzing noise coming from behind her and she jumped barely missing the windmill shuriken that was coming toward her. Suddenly, it curved back and was headed right back at her, but she was still in the air and could not dodge. She pulled out to kunai and prepared to take the shuriken head on. When it got close, it changed into a rock and barely hit her, when she felt arms come up behind her. One around her neck and the other one wrapped around her body, holding her arms to her body. They were wooden arms; it was the puppet. Again, the shuriken was headed towards her and she could not dodge it or counter it. She closed her eyes. She heard a sound like it hit wood, and opened to see the windmill shuriken had landed, only it hadn't hit her. There were blades on both sides of her trapping her to the puppet that had ahold of her. (If you're confused by that, a windmill shuriken is like a huge ass shuriken. :)

"You're too slow. You think about your next move for too long. We are done here." Sasori said turning to leave.

"You seriously needed us here to watch you fucking fight for like 5 minutes? I had other shit to do Sasori. Don't do that again." Hidan yelled.

"I apologize for inconveniencing you. But my expectations were a lot higher than what has been shown here. Tenten, come."

As they were walking, Tenten looked down at the grond the whole time. Clearly upset by what happened. They got to the room and she went straight to the bathroom. Sasori sat on his bed and waited for her to walk back out after 30 minutes. Her eyes were puffy. And there were wet streaks down her face.

"How do you expect me to be in top shape after being trapped up in this room unable to move for days?! SO YEAH I WAS STIFF BUT I CAN ACTUALLY FIGHT A LOT BETTER THAN THAT! IF YOU HAD LET ME FIGHT A LITTLE LONGER YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT!" Tenten yelled the last bit at Sasori.

"You were much too slow. Every day, we will be training for 3 hours to work on your speed. Just your speed. Once I think you have mastered that, we will move on to something else."

"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I NEED YOUR HELP OR WANT TO TRAIN WITH YOU?"

"Either that or you will be stuck in this room for the rest of the time you're with us."

Tenten was quiet for a moment. "Fine. But don't embarrass me like that again."

"Understood. Now wash up."

Tenten did just that. And since that day a few days ago they have been training 3 hours a day just like Sasori said all the way up until they decided to move hideouts. On that day, Tenten woke up to a Sasori holding a cup out to her. It was the liquid she drank the first time she had come to the hideout.

Sakura had enough of this. The entire week, she had been left in Itachi's room. Every night she fell asleep on the air mattress but woke up in his bed. She had not seen him once since the first day he had brought her to the room. Somehow, every time she went to the bathroom, she would come out and there would be food waiting on her. She knew it was laced with some type of drug, however. Because every time she ate it, she never felt her chakra replenish. Probably a good idea, because if she had her chakra she would probably be knocking holes through every wall she seen.

She had busied herself by finding random things to do around his room. After the first day of trying to unlock the door, with no luck, she decided it was best to not keep trying if she wanted to earn his trust. She knew she was probably being watched, where ever he was.

Some days she drew on the paper she found lying around. Some days she cleaned his room and his bathroom. Some days she would just sit and sing, horribly of course. Today, however, she was waiting until he came in the room. Even if he came in during the middle of the night.

7:00 pm.

She waited

11:00 pm.

She waited.

2:00 am.

She was still waiting.

4:47 am.

She woke up to being laid in his bed by strong arms. She reached out and grabbed the arms holding her.

"It would be wise to let go off my arm, Sakura." She heard Itachi say.

"Just answer a few questions. Please."

Itachi waited for a moment, laid Sakura down and looked at her, he was now waiting.

"W-why do you put me in your bed at night when I f-fall asleep on the air mattress?" She asked

"Why sleep on that when there is a perfectly fine bed, much more comfortable, right here."

Sakura shook her head showing she understood. However, she didn't think he was being a hundred percent honest. "Stay. Talk to me."

Itachi stood in front of her looking down at her, waiting for her to talk.

She wanted to ask him the most obvious question there was, why he had killed his clan. She knew if she did he would leave immediately. She racked her brain for a simple question. "Whats your favorite thing to do?" She asked.

"Train." He answered quickly.

Sakura shook her head, showing she understood once again. Now there was an awkward silence. So she just stared at him. He was breathtakingly handsome. He looked like Sasuke, but he was a much more mature version. One that was more grown up and mysterious. Sasuke was mysterious, but not as much as Itachi. He wasn't wearing his Akatsuki cloak today. Instead, he was just wearing black training pants and sandals along with just a fishnet top on. Sakura could see his muscles so easily right now, it was hard not to stare.

"What about you?" She heard him ask.

"…Huh?" Sakura was in a daze.

"What is your favorite thing to do?" He asked in his husky tone, but it kind of sounded like he was genuinely curious.

"U-um… I like t-taking care of patients. I'm the top Medical Ninja in the leaf." She said the last part confidently.

"I see. Could you look at my arm then?" He asked stepping forward.

Sakura was taken back but his sudden question. When he stepped forward with his arm out, it startled her. She look up to his face and reached forward to look at his arm. Her first thought was that he was vulnerable, and she could break his arm off with her strength to escape. She then realized she did not have any chakra to do so. She then thought it over, if she had her chakra he probably still wouldn't try and escape. This place is full of villains who would kill her without a second thought. She wondered if Itachi would do that.

She looked at his arm, and after looking at the bruised limb, she came to a simple conclusion. "I think its fractured. I can't tell without using my chakra to really see. Also, if I had my chakra I could help it heal faster and you would be fine about a day or two."

He dropped his arm back down to his side and turned around to face the door. "Tomorrow morning we will be leaving to go to the new hideout. If you go to sleep in the next hour your chakra should replenish by then. I will come get you in the morning, along with Kisame, in case you decide to escape. If you do, we will kill you." He said walking out the door.

Sakura was speechless. Did he really trust her enough to heal his injury? She was kind of excited going to bed and waking up to see him again. She of course would never admit this to anyone, not even herself. She laid her head down on Itachi's pillow and quickly fell asleep.

Sakura was woke up the next day to someone barging in the door. Two someone's to be exact. Like Itachi said, he had brought Kisame along. She could understand why; she can be pretty intimidating. J

Itachi walked to Sakura who had stood up and moved to the side so he could sit on the side of the bed. He did so, and Sakura lifted up his arm and started working away on it. After about 30 minutes of working away on it, she wiped her forehead and smiled down at him.

"You should be good in about a day or two! Just take it easy on that arm!" She said with a smile. Sakura could remember talking to all her normal patients in the leaf village, constantly trying to brighten the mood around them. She missed working in the hospital. She missed helping the people of the leaf and being relied on heavily by the Hokage. She loved learning new things about the body and learning how to make different antidotes for new sicknesses and poisons. The aura around Sakura was completely different now that she had been thinking about the leaf and thinking about she might never get to see anyone from there again. She has her fellow kunoichi, but she will miss Naruto, Kakashi, the nurses at the hospital… everyone. Her eyes started to tear up.

Itachi had noticed that she had been in deep thought for a few minutes. He stood up in front of her and reached an arm past her. Kisame handed a glass to Itachi and he held it out to her.

"We are moving hideouts today. I need you to rink this, Sakura." He said calmly but with his rough voice again.

Sakura knew what it was. She knew better than to put up a fight. She shook her head and took the glass in his head and drank it all. She handed it back to him, walked past him and sat down on the bed. Waiting.

Kisame stepped out of the room for moment, he wouldn't go far he just felt awkward being in the room with them right now.

Itachi stayed in the room and looked at Sakura. "What were you thinking about?" He asked her

It caught Sakura off guard that he would ask, like he kind of cared. As she was thinking what to say, Kisame walked back in with an apple and a granola bar and handed to Sakura and walked back out.

"I w-was think about how I used to work in the hospital. I r-really enjoyed working with patients. I r-really wish I could feel what it was like to help patients again. Do you think, if you hadn't went rouge… maybe I would have had to ave your life?"

Itachi chuckled a little. "Possibly, Sakura. I know you are the best medic-nin in the leaf." If only she knew why I had to go rouge. If I hadn't killed my clan…

He was brought out of his thoughts by Sakura speaking up again. "You knew that already?"

He thought for a moment. He activated his Sharigan and captured Sakura. He knew she could probably break free from it, after all she was very advanced and intelligent.

Sakura jumped ready to attack back, but she could feel that her chakra was beginning to slip because of the concoction she had drank.

"Calm down, I simply want to show you something." Itachi said calmly with his rough voice.

Sakura waited. She knew it was strange to trust the rouge Uchiha, but she felt as though she really could. After a moment of hazey-ness, the image in front of her cleared. She saw herself in the hospital, working on a patient. She knew who this patient was. It had been a ninja that was sent on a mission to track down some of the Akatsuki, Hidan and Kakuzu. He had been badly injured, but not killed. She was working on him along with the Hokage, Tsunade and 3 other medical ninja. They were trying to save his life. He had stopped breathing.

"We're losing him!" Tsunade yelled.

"Hold on we can do this!" She yelled back. Sakura had rubbed her hands together and put them against the ninja's chest to stimulate a shock to start his heart again. No luck. She done it again, no luck. She done it a third time, and he coughed up blood and started rapidly breathing.

"Continue working on his ligaments!" Tsunade instructed the other medicnin. "Sakura! Well done, but we are not done yet." She said to her with an approving smile on her face.

Sakura, the present one, had tears running down her face now. How did he know of this incident? She looked to the branch on the other side of the tree to see the past itachi watching everything in front of him unfold.

"Y-you can take me to the past?" Sakura asked the Itachi next to her on the branch in the tree.

"Not technically. I can make any world for you to see. I just decided to recreate this scene for you. This I how I know youre one of the best medic ninja around, Sakura." He said to her.

"Why were you watching me?"

"I knew Pein was planning on trying to capture you girls, so I wanted to study you and see what it would be like to have to fight you. It's amazing you got to train under one of the three sannin. You're an incredible Shinobi, Sakura."

Sakura was speechless. He had brought her back so she could remember what it was like to save someone's life. He was trying to make her feel better. However, the scene was starting to blur out. And as quickly as they had arrived, they were back in Itachi's room looking at each other.

"T-thank you." She stuttered out, tears still running down her face. Everything in front of her started to go dark. She started to fall over and just before her head landed on Itachi standing in front of her she heard him say, "You're welcome, Sakura." And then the world went black.

Through the week, Hidan had tried talking to Hinata more. But after the first night, waking up lying the same bed as Hidan, she would usually just stutter too much to talk. She can't believe she slept in his bed with him the first night she was here. She was not even aware of what had happened while she was asleep, she didn't feel sore.. down there… but she was still worried. She couldn't look at him without her face turning as red as a tomato. However, there was a few times where Hinata seemed like she wasn't completely miserable or scared of him.

Shockingly enough, Hinata had to admit that he had been very kind to her the whole time. Asking if she needed anything and if she wanted something to eat- and bringing her some food when she declined in a politely manner.

The day of the spar between Tenten and Sasori's puppet was supposed to be exciting, but it wasn't. Ino had sat and hugged her the whole time while crying until time for the spar. After Sasori said they were done, Hidan was annoyed that they had wasted their time to go watch them fight for 5 minutes. But after Deidara took Ino back to his room, Hidan decided him and Hinata would stay.

"So, whats your style of fighting like? Do you have some hidden move that would fucking murder someone or anything?" Hidan asked Hinata as they were walking around looking at the equipment.

"N-no. You saw m-me fighting. I-I'm not very s-strong." She stuttered out.

"Well I can't say I saw you fighting, I was busy fucking up your friend." Hidan said. He saw Hinata out of the corner of his eye flinch, like he had stabbed her.

"Anyway, how about we fucking spar?" He asked

"I-I'm not so sure if that is a g-good idea. I d-don't want what was d-done to Kiba, to h-happen to me…" She said with her face down.

"I won't use my fucking Scythe on your pretty self. I also need you not hurt or some shit. I don't want to babysit you while you're hurt. Also, I know you fight close combat. It is like the Hyuuga Style or some shit. I'll fight you with just my hands. I just want to see what it like to fight a fucking Hyuuga." He said with a smirk.

"W-well… I don't know…"

"I know you have your fucking chakra back. I haven't given you anything in days that would cut it off." He said with his back to her looking at a machine in the training room.

I knew he hadn't given me anything, but I thought it was because he forgot. Why would he just let me walk around with fully replenished chakra? Probably because he knows I couldn't beat him. "F-fine… " She said.

Hidan turned and looked at Hinata with a smile that looked as though her could eat her as a meal. They walked to opposite sides of the fighting area. Hinata took the usual Hyuuga Style stance while Hidan just stood there with his arms crossed. They waited for a few moments.

"You come at me first, doll." He said with an amused smile. "I'll take it easy on you, I pro-" Hidan was cut off by Hinata swinging her hand towards his shoulder.

"What a weird place to aim for… you're fast. Way faster than Sasori's bitch." He said dodging all her strikes.

Hinata was focusing on trying to land a hit on Hidan, she moved just as fast as her little frame would allow her. She kept striking in a very patterned way and Hidan noticed it, making it easier to dodge all her attacks.

"I can predict every fucking move you make, sweetheart. Change it up a little." He said still dodging all her attacks.

"Twin Lion Fists!" Coming from behind Hidan, was another Hinata, luckily he barely dodged it. He let the first Hinata slip his mind for barely a second, which was all Hinata needed. She landed a strike on a Tenketsu point in Hidan's shoulder and his chest, cutting off his chakra to those areas. Hidan jumped back to evaluate what was done to him.

"So that's what it's like to get hit by a fucking Hyuuga. Cool." He said with a smile. Hinata was no longer in her stance and was slowly walking toward him, eyeing where she hit him.

"C-can i…?" She whispered to him while pointing at his shoulder.

"Sweetheart, you don't need to ask to feel these fucking muscles." Hidan said with a laugh.

Hinata performed a jutsu and hit the spots she originally hit and released the holds on Hidan's chakra.

"Why would you do that? Why didn't you try to fucking escape?"

"L-landing two hits on y-you would n-not slow you d-down. I would have d-died trying to e-escape."

"Hm. You're fucking smart. Yeah you're right, that would not have slowed me down. If you tried to escape, I wouldn't let them kill you. I would just have to fucking punish you." He said eyeing Hinata.

Hinata's face turned red at the remark and the way he was eyeing her. She looked at him with a plea in her eyes, can I just go lay down?

Hidan understood what she was asking. He turned and started to walk away. A small blush across his face where Hinata could not see. The way she was looking at me… I want her to look at me like that for other reasons. He thought to himself. She has a lot she needs to work on to be able to defeat me. Maybe I should train her.

"H-hidan…" He heard a beautiful whisper. He turned to face her. "C-can you b-bring me back so I c-can t-train?" She asked him, like she was reading her mind.

"Maybe once we are at the new fucking hideout. You'll have everything you need to train." He said still walking ahead of her.

They got back to the room and hidan went and fell onto his bed. Hinata made it to where she never fell asleep while he was awake. She wanted to sleep in the air mattress on the floor. So she usually busied herself with cleaning. The day before she had asked to go find some cleaning supplies. Hidan gave her directions to the cleaning stuff and the kitchen, he wanted her to bring him back something to eat. It was odd that he allowed her to roam freely. Like she said today though, she knew she couldn't escape. So for now she went along with what was going on. She only run into Itachi in the kitchen the day before and he acted like he never noticed her.

While Hinata was lost in thought, while cleaning the floors Hidan spoke up, "hey, would you mind fixing me some fucking food again? What you made me yesterday was fucking awesome."

"I-it was j-just a t-turkey sandwich..." She said shyly as she continued to clean the floor.

"Well, fucking make it again!" He yelled

Hinata flinched. Which didn't go unnoticed by Hidan. He felt bad yelling orders at her. She stood up, and shook her head yes and left the room to head to the kitchen for the second day in a row.

She walked with her head down all the way to the kitchen. She got there and walked to the fridge that was in the kitchen and pulled out turkey, swiss cheese, and bacon.

She cooked the bacon and made the sandwich. She grabbed an apple, for herself to eat and started walking back to Hidan's room. She was aboujt halfway there when she heard someone speak up.

"Hello Hinata Hyuuga." She turned to see Pain "I see Hidan is making use of you. May I ask why you oblige by his orders?"

That's not what I was expecting him to ask. Is he not worried I'm walking freely around the hideout with all my chakra?

"U-um… I j-just don't w-want him u-upset or anything." She stuttered out.

"I see. Well, if he does anything to harm you please don't hesitate to come tell me. We might have kidnapped you and your friends, but I consider you a guest. Well, only you since you have not been loud or put up a fight like the others have."

Hinata was shocked. She shook her head yes because she could not get any words out. Pain shook his head yes and continued to walk the way he was headed. Hinata returned to Hidan's room quickly.

She walked in and shut the door quick and walked fast and placed the sandwich in front of Hidan. She walked quickly to a corner, squatted down and was eating her apple with a far expression in her eyes.

"What the fuck? You look like you seen a ghost." Hidan sat up quickly looking at her in the corner.

"H-how does P-pain know what I h-have been d-doing since I've b-been here?" Hinata stuttered out.

"No shit? You ran into that bastard?" Hidan chuckled. "No wonder you look like someone was fucking murdered in front of you. Look, Pain runs the Akatsuki. He knows every fucking detail that goes on. How he does? I have no fucking clue."

Hinata was shaking. She hated the idea of someone knowing everything that was going on. Hidan quickly ate his food and was now looking at Hinata as she quietly and shakenly ate her apple. The bitch is scared shitless of him.

"Are you scared?" he asked quietly.

Hinata looked at him and shook her head yes.

Hidan shook his head to the sides. "Not of Pain, of me?" He said standing up and slowly walking towards her. She was slowly leaning back into the corner. Trying to melt into the corner if she could.

She shook her head yes. As soon as she did, Hidans face was in front of hers looking into her eyes. He leaned forward and put his mouth next to her ear, Hinata was sweating now and her face was very red.

"Good. You fucking should be." He whispered into her ear.

And with that, she passed out and fell into strong arms once again.

The next day, Hinata woke up to an empty room and was laying on her air mattress. He didn't put me in his bed like he had the first time.

The door slammed open and Hidan walked in with blood running down his chest, which was bare because half of his cloak had been ripped. He was in obvious pain.

He fell onto his bed with a thump and closed his eyes. He could hear quick footsteps running to the bathroom and water turning on. He opened his eyes to Hinata returning with a bowl of water and a cloth. She wet the cloth and then started to clean the dry blood off of him.

"Why are you fucking helping me?" He asked.

"I c-can't sit by and w-watch while someone is h-hurt." She answered quietly still cleaning it.

"Well, no use. I fucking heal on my own. Unless something is cut off then Kakazu has to sew me back."

"W-well this w-will help the p-process." She said kind of sternly. Hard to be stern when you stutter so much

"well thanks." Hidan closed his eyes and enjoye the warm water Hinata had gotten. She was trying to clean up all the blood.

"Oh yeah I fucking forgot." Hidan pulled a vile glass out of his pocket. It was purple. "We're moving fucking hideouts today; I need you to drink this. I don't think you'll try and fucking escape, but Pain demanded you all fucking drink it. It's not orange flavored this time."

Hinata was skeptical about drinking the drink, and it showed on her face. She didn't want to take it. So she continued to clean Hidan like she didn't hear him.

"Look, I know it fucking sucks being knocked out and all. But I won't take advantage of you. I'd like to, but I fucking wont okay?" Hidan said looking away from Hinata with a blush. "Besides, the bastard Pain said we have to make sure nothing happens to you bitches." He said with his head still turned to the side.

Here Hinata is thinking this man was a terrifying monster, when really he's just a bad mouthed guy. She didn't appreciate being called a bitch, along with her dear friends, but she knew he didn't mean it in a bad way. It was just how he talked. Why did she feel like she could trust him? He was part of the Akatsuki, she should not feel like she could put her life in the hands of a wanted criminal. However, the sincere way he has been acting told her otherwise.

Hinata shook her head showing she understood and took the glass from Hidan and drank every last drop. Definitely better than the last time she drank the liquid.

"Tasted way fucking better didn't it?" He said with a smirk. "I'm not a fan of oranges either. But all the other bastards are here."

"I-it's just f-fine." Hinata said standing up with the bowl and cloth covered in red. She went to the bathroom and started cleaning them up.

"I really like how fucking clean you keep my room." Hidan said sitting up as Hinata walked back into the room. "How does a princess know how to clean so fucking well?"

"I-I'm not a p-princess." She stuttered out

"Well, that bastard Sasori compared you to one. What's it like being able to do whatever and whoever you want to?" He asked laying back with his arms behind his head.

Hinata looked down with a sad look. "I-it's not like t-that…" She said. "I've never been good enough." She said the last part without a single stutter causeing Hidan to sit up immediately and look at her. She was still looking at the ground tears were silently hitting the ground. They he saw her start to tip.

The last thing Hinata remembered before falling over was strong arms catching her, yet again, before her body hit the ground.
