Chapter 6

**TIME SKIP TO NEW HIDEOUT**

"Man this place is fucking awesome!" Hidan yelled when he walked into the new hideout. Instead of being underground like they always have been, they were in the side of a mountain, the entrance being like normal, behind a large brush of trees against a cliff. On the other side of the hideout, windows lined the mountain facing over a large forest. No one could see the windows from the outside because Konan had used a special jutsu that made the paper that was covering the windows look like the mountains, but they could still see outside from inside the hideout. The first window was in the main room they had walked in. The room was a large living area with a kitchen and a large table that would probably seat everyone that would be saying there. The room was probably bigger than any that that could be found in the hokages building or any of the prestigious clans in the leaf village.

The crew began to file in with the kunoichi they had captured. First to come in was Hidan and Kakazu, who made himself known the minute that him and Kakazu walked through the door. He had Hinata thrown over his shoulder and she was sleeping adorably with a small line of drool coming out of her mouth. Next to walk in was Itachi carrying Sakura through a jutsu that made her float through the air, even though she was completely knocked out. Next to walk in was Deidara and Sasori carrying each of the girls in their arms bridal style. Everyone took their seat at the table after laying the girls on a couch each lined around the room.

"Let us cut to the chase." Pain said walking through a doorway that seemed to be a hallway on one side of the room. Everyone sat down in an order that was similar to that of the day they were assigned their ridiculous mission. Pain snapped his fingers and all four girls instantly awoke from their slumber. "If you move you die. Sit up and listen."

The girls did as they were instructed by the horrifying man. Some of them trembling as they sat up and put their hand in their laps to listen. They could not escape right now. Not only were their chakra still cut off, but they were surrounded by 9 of the most dangerous villains in the world. They would die instantly if they tried anything right now. They were trained and smart enough to know when to just do as they were told.

"I assume the trip here was successful without any problems?" Pain asked already knowing what had happened to the Hyuuga princess.

"We had a bit of a… problem." Kakazu spoke, "It was nothing we couldn't take care of however. Just a man wanting his hands on the Hyuuga eyes. I've seen him at many auctions down under, he was no threat."

"Kakazu, I appreciate you letting me know." Pain said nodding towards him, "However, I do not want this to happen again." He said now looking around to everyone. "That is sloppy work, I think we are all too capable of a crew to allow it to happen again." He said.

He then directed his attention to the Hyuuga. "Come here, Hinata Hyuuga." He said. The moment the words left his mouth, every one of the girls from Konoha mouths went dry. Hinata trembled and started to stand to walk over to him.

"What do you want with her?! It wasn't her fault the people in charge of her were not paying attention to what was happening to her!" Sakura spoke up from her seat. Itachi smirking slightly at her outburst with his eyes closed and his arms crossed in front of

him. This went unnoticed to everyone except his partner Kisame and Pain.

"I am well aware, Miss Haruno. Please refrain from another outburst. I am not blaming Hinata." Pain said reaching his arm out to the now approaching Hinata. He grabbed her wrist and jerked her toward himself.

"Hey is it fucking necessary to jerk her like that?! She doesn't have any fucking chakra!" Hidan burst out at the sight of Hinata wincing as she was jerked by her wrist by Pain.

"Kunoichi of Konoha. Please pay attention." Pain spoke loud and clear at everyone in the room.

He pulled his wrist close to himself. Drew a small picture on her wrist and spoke some ritual. Next thing they knew her wrist was lighting up with a strange symbol.

She felt as though her arm was burning off. She was screaming at the top of her lungs. She wanted to chop it off, that pain would be less than she was feeling right now. Hidan stood up with his hands on the table in front of him sending his chair flying and hitting the wall behind him. He had a horrible mad look on his face, like he was ready to pounce on Pain and rip his throat out.

Her screams quit as soon as they had started. She grabbed her wrist and looked at what was now on it. It was like a tattoo. It was a circle with four little ticks in it, like a compass with points at north, south, east and west. She stared at it confusingly.

"Hyuuga, press your finger to the top notch on that circle. Closest to your hand." Hinata looked from him, down to her wrist and looked up towards Hidan. She was scared and she knew he would be able to tell. He was still standing watching. Not speaking, but had a horrible mad look on his face still. She waited for him to say or do something. Hidan swallowed and shook his head yes telling her to do what he said.

Hinata pressed her finger to the notch on her wrist, and when she done so it lit up. Next thing she knew Hidan had instantly shown up behind her.

"What this is, is an emergency button for you Kunoichi. Each notch does something different." At this point Pain grabbed Hinata's wrist roughly and pulled it up. Causing her to squeal and Hidan to growl. "The notch at the top, the one Hyuuga just pressed causes the person assigned to you to be notified if you're in trouble. It is the most important. The notch the right of it, when allowed to be me, allows you to transport a weapon assigned to you by the person in charge of you. The notch to the left of the top is one that is used to give you an extra chakra boost, when turned on yet again by me. The one on the bottom is used by the person who is in charge of you. It can be used to kill you almost. Only way that will happen though is if the person assigned to you has notified me that it might be necessary. For now, it is only used to stun you and cut your chakra off. I will demonstrate it now." Pain brought his finger down to Hinata's wrist and touched the bottom notch on her circle. When he pressed it, Hinata felt him use chakra to activate it and the symbol lit up on her wrist.

She buckled over and let out a loud scream. It hurt so bad. It lasted for only a few seconds but it was one of the worst pains she had ever felt in her life. She was on her knees and was leaned forward on her hands. She was sweating terribly. She had been hurt so bad twice in such a short amount of time. Hidan was by her side holding her hair and trying to fan her. He knew she was probably in tons of pain and that she would be feeling sick soon too.

"Does everyone understand?" Pain looked up from Hinata's shaking figure on the ground. "I'll make this quick the rest of the time so Miss Hyuuga can get taken to her room and rest for the next hour or so and then we will meet again. Before you leave this room all of you will be given the symbol. You will find out more later about how to use this to your advantage. If you feel as though you can add something else, after meeting with your superior and then meeting with me we can discuss adding more to it." Pain waved to Hidan to grab the Hyuuga princess and take her away. She was still shaking.

Hidan didn't wait around to watch the other bitches get their shit on their wrist. He just wanted to get Hinata away so she could deal with the pain. He decided to take her down the hall and hope to find a bed room with a bathroom soon.

'Your room is the third door on the left, her room is conjoined with yours and the only way in or out of it is through your room. She has a bathroom in her room.' Pain said to him through his mind connecting jutsu. That's so fucking annoying that he knew exactly what he was needing to find.

He quickly found the room and took Hinata through the door to his left in his large bedroom in hopes it was her room instead of his own bathroom. Luckily it was her room. He took her to the bathroom and put her in the floor then turned on warm water in the bathtub and let it start running, grabbed a trashcan and put it by the tub and turned to walkout.

"Take a warm bath, it will help with the stun pain and major fucking chakra loss. Throw up in the trashcan so you don't have to clean up the shit later. Use that thing on your wrist if you need me."

"P-please…" He heard her and turned around to look at her. She looked awful. She was sweating and was on the verge of dying. He knew she was fine, but he knew how horrible the fucking pain was that she was in. Pain was ruthless a lot of times.

"P-please stay.." Hinata stuttered out. Hidan raised his eyebrow with a smirk.

"I'll stay any fucking day to watch you undress to take a bath." He said trying to embarrass her.

She didn't even let it bother her. She was in so much pain that she didn't care. She pulled herself into the warm bath with all her clothes on and just sat there. Hidan had taken a seat on the toilet. He was watching her just lay there. Her entire being was still so beautiful even though she was in such pain. Why did he choose her, of all girls to make an example out of?

He sighed and got down on his knees next to her in the tub. "Don't fucking tell a soul what I am about to do or I'll fucking kill you." He mumbled as he began to wash her hair for her.

It felt so good to have her hair washed. She heard a slight knockand Hidan stood up to go answer the door in his bedroom. She heard talking and but didn't make out was said, only that Hidan had slammed the door shut. Hidan turned to her holding out a vile.

"Fucking take this so you'll feel better." She didn't hesitate taking it, knowing it would probably help her.

And it did. In only about 5 minutes did all the pain subside and she realized the situation she was in and instantly blushed a bright red. She was in the tub having Hidan wash her hair and she was soaking wet with all her clothes sticking to her body. She was tired though so she let him continue cleaning her hair. Soon he was done and helping her stand.

"U-um… I c-can take c-care of the r-rest. Thank you H-hidan." She stuttered out still red as a tomato.

Hidan smirked. "Get fucking cleaned up and lay down for a bit. There should be some damn clothes in your room somewhere but I'm not fucking sure." He said chuckling slightly at how she was standing. He loved the view he was getting of her curvy body. He walked out before he was tempted to pounce on her.

She quickly dried off and found some clothes to put on and decided to lay down for a nap.

Sasori was walking with Tenten to their newly made room. He had been permanently assigned Tenten. He was frustrated, but he was glad he didn't have one of the other feisty kunoichi like Sakura or Ino. At least they both got along pretty well.

"I wonder where the weapons will be at here? Can we go find them and pick mine?" Tenten spoke up breaking their silence as they were walking to their new conjoined room.

"I am afraid not. We must wait for further explanation from Pain." He spoke quickly and kind of harshly.

"You're stuck with me aren't you?" She said immediately.

He didn't respond but she was smart enough to know that meant yes. He had thought she would be given to Kisame or Konan considering they were the ones who had captured her.

"Well, sorry. I hope you can show me new ways on how to use weapons to my advantage while fighting." She said stopping while she was walking and bowing to him in hopes of winning him over to dealing with her. "Even though the circumstances make it seem like I'm just someone to babysit, I hope I learn a lot from you!" She said with her head still down.

She stayed like that for a few seconds before she heard someone clear their throat and someone start to laugh loud and obnoxiously.

"Damn, Sasori man. Already got her begging at your feet. I wish Hinata would even speak to me without fucking stuttering. Hahaha way to wip her into shape!" Hidan yelled slapping Sasori on the back.

Tenten leaned back up with her cheeks read and her eyes were shooting daggers at Hidan. "Where is she anyhow?! Is she okay?!" Tenten yelled.

"Ahh shes better now. Helped her into her bathroom and helped her wash her hair.." Hidan said with a smirk on his face, testing the weapons Kunoichi.

"You better have not hurt her!" She yelled stepping towards him.

"Tenten, stop. He's just trying to get a rise out of you." Sasori said stepping forward between where she was stepping with her fist starting to rise towards Hidan. He put his hand on it making her blushing face even redder. She never gets embarrassed like this. But for her to be seen acting so vulnerable by someone like Hidan infuriated her and made her feel in-superior.

"Where is the Hyuuga Royalty, anyway?" Sasori asked turning his back so Tenten was behind him and he was facing Hidan.

"Ahh, shes sleeping it out in her fucking room right now. She got the worst end being tested on like a fucking animal. I was just leaving long enough to make a sacrifice to Jashin before going back and fucking her." Hidan said with another smirk trying to get a rise out of Sasori.

"Hidan." Sasori said sternly. "I suggest you take good care of the Kunoichi that has been assigned to you. To think someone as high up as her was put under your care, is ridiculous. I hope she can at least useful to the team under your lazy training regimen." Sasori said still keeping stern an looking Hidan in the eye. "You know, how about we trade. Seems like the two of you would get along quite nicely, considering how loud and obnoxious you both are." He said and walked away from the pair. Hidan an Tenten just looked at each other.

Tenten trailed after him after parting away from Hidan shortly after Sasori left. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" She said to him.

"I was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine. He likes to try and get a rise out of us, I thought I would do the same to him. Do not take offence to what I said, you are nothing like him."

Tenten had worried that the time they had spent at the last hideout was for nothing, the way he was speaking about her to Hidan. She had thought she was nothing. She is usually never bothered by something someone says about her, she was never getting very much attention, no where near as much as the other three Kunoichi. She was as pretty as the other three. She couldn't use medical ninjutsu like Sakura. She didn't have the ability to use her mind for intel on other contries like Ino. She did not have one of the most sought after eyes like Hinata. She found what she was good at, which were weapons. No one was ever impressed by that skill alone until she showed them in battle. She had worked hard to perfect it and become the top weapon user in Konoha. She thought that Sasori was looking down on her, like she used to be. But really he just used her name to help out pissing off Hidan.

"Sasori, I would never think you would stoop down to Hidan's level in provoking your comrades." Tenten said with a smirk on her face while crossing her arms.

"Well, obviously you don't understand me very well." Sasori said reaching the door they were going to. It hadn't looked like the door to the rooms they would now be sleeping in. He opened using a few hand signs. When they walked in, Tenten was in awe.

"Have your pick. I am pretty sure your circle allows you to use multiple weapons or scrolls to transport to you." Sasori said stepping to the side and letting her walk in the room. They had just walked into a massive weapons room, quadruple the size of the one that was in the last hideout.

Tenten was in heaven. Sasori watched and smiled as she wondered around the massive weapons room.

Deidara was close to giving up on the Kunoichi he had. He was worried he would kill her before the end of the day when they arrived at the new hideout. When really, they had a normal conversation after getting back to the rooms that were assigned to them. He had sat on his bed and she went to her room. Only to come back shortly.

"I am sorry for how I have been. After watching the other girls, I now know I need to just do as you say for now. Please accept my apology." She said bowing her head.

"Un, stand. Don't be ridiculous, un. Any normal person would act the same way." Deidara said motioning for her to stand.

"So, what is your style of fighting like?" She asked sitting to the ground with a smirk on her face.

"Why are you asking, un?"

"Well I have yet to speak to you on normal terms. I only thought it would be nice to try and work together."

"Un, what makes you think we will be working together?"

"Why else would the person incharge give us these… things?" she said motioning to the mark on her wrist that was given to all the kunoichi.

"If you're supposed to be one of the top ranked ninja in Konoha, un, shouldn't you already know what my fighting style is like?" He said with a mischievous smirk on his face and eyeing her.

She didn't want to admit she knew very little about the way he fought. She knew he used clay bombs somehow but how he produced so many was not part of her knowledge. She was curious to find out.

"I don't think our ways of fighting will be very compatible, un. Probably find better luck asking some of the other bastards around here." He said turning to lay down on his back.

"… I am not assigned to any of the other "bastards" here. I am assigned to you."

At that Deidara leaned up and looked her in the eye with a slight pink on his face. "Un, fine. Tomorrow we will be training. I don't want to see your face until tomorrow morning so leave me alone." He said hatefully.

He saw out of his peripherals that Ino had nodded and stood to leave.

Sakura was pissed. And that is saying it lightly. She wanted to train now. She did not want to wait until later in thw eek, if they even let her train then!

As soon as the meeting had ended, Itachi had talked to Pain silently while Sakura waited on the couch Itachi had put her on when they first got there.

"I asked him if we could go train starting today. We will wait until a later date to train. Follow me." He said after talking to him briefly.

She was now following her to the room they had been assigned. When they walked in and he showed her to her room, she saw that It was stocked with many different viles containing medicines and multiple medical books. She was in awe. Most of the things that was in her room were things that she had been wanting to test out, but hadn't because it was all part of different lands she hardly got to visit.

"I'll be having the things in here rotated out every two weeks. I suggest make use of your time you will be in here. I will go now."

"Itachi wait-" Sakura said holding out a hand to him trying to get him not to leave. "Can I- um ask you a question?"

"Quickly."

She was scared to ask, but she had to. "Do you miss him?" She asked, knowing he knew who she was talking about.

"Family matters are not important to me." He said without showing signs of caring.

He turned to walk out when she stood there dumbfounded. What had she expected when she asked? He was not going to tell her the truth, and that was that he thought about him every day. He was his baby brother. He missed him.

"WAIT!" She said grabbing him arm before he walked out.

What a mistake that was.

In the short half second that she done that, Itachi had her pinned against the wall near the door.

"I am going to tell you this and only once. Do not touch me." He said with his face only an inch in front of hers. He towered over her. He hands were above her head in only one of his hands. His other was on the wall beside her, supporting him. "Without permission." He added with a serious note.

Sakura didn't know if the thoughts in her head would be considered pervy or not, but the slight pink that rose to her face told Itachi that they were. "If I need you to heal me, I will have you. Were you hoping I mean touching me another way?" He asked with a sexy tone and slight smirk. "Were you hoping, that I, Itachi, would hope for a small girl like you to touch me?" He said raising the hand on the wall and going to put it on her face.

"Itachi, I-" but she was cut off by him putting him hand over her mouth lightly. The pink was slowly starting to get dark.

"Don't talk. Don't move." He said to her.

He removed him hand from her mouth and started to lean forward. She does not know how but her vision went dark. She assumed it was itachi catching her in a genjutsu but she didn't care. She was nervous.

As quickly as something had touched her lips, it was gone. Her arms were released and her door was slammed beside her.

She touched her hand to her lips. Had he kissed me?

He was furious with himself. He had a moment of weakness.

How could he lay hands on the girl that had been in his younger brothers childhood? Why had he let something like this happen? He lost control.

Yes, she was stuning. He had noticed that years ago when he had been studying her for the first time. He thought if any of the Akatsuki had a moment of weakness it would have been Hidan or Deidara, but himself? Never.

He had left the room quickly and without saying anything else about it. She was nice to be around, and he found himself enjoying the things she said, her outbursts, and how willing she was to help her friends.

He needed time to think. It would be awhile before he would see her again.
