Chapter Thirteen

'Where am I?' Hinata thought as she opened her eyes.

Her vision was blurred, but she could still tell it was sometime in the middle of the night. Her white-eyes hazily gazed throughout the forestry area. She remembered the mission and everything, but she couldn't quite remember what happened to her.

Hinata just had a horrible nightmare of the monstrous versions of her teammates. She had to admit she was rather frightened of their alternate forms, and increasingly wondered how they were able to change like that. Her nightmare included them chasing her, constantly picking on her until she reached a cliff, she fell into the long darkness of the canyon like cliff, and the last person she saw was Kimimaro, who simply laughed evilly.

She shook her head and opened her eyes further to notice the shark-like sound nin lying next to her. She gazed over at the boy to notice he was still sleeping. Her thoughts were stirred as she heard deep hacking and heavy breathing coming from behind her. Hinata squealed quietly at the sound, she had been rather uneasy ever since the attack and witnessing her monster like teammates.

'Sakon!' Hinata screamed in her mind, not allowing her fearful words to come out of her mouth. The boy was shirtless at this time, he was obviously weak and had a huge scar imprinted on the center of his stomach. For the concern of her friend, she slowly crawled towards him. A sly smirk grew across his blue lips as he spotted her making her way towards him.

Honestly Hinata couldn't even remember how she was still alive at the moment, and the only one she really wanted to see was Kimimaro, but he was nowhere to be seen. "S-Sakon, you are seriously h-h-hurt, a-aren't you?" Hinata asked extremely nervously. Sakon only responded by coughing up excessive amounts of blood. Hinata twitched slightly as she back away slowly. She couldn't get herself to stand up yet, but couldn't figure out why. Her body just wouldn't allow her to do so.

"I-I-I remember you getting hurt by the puppet criminal" she stated after she made sure he was okay. "Yes, and you were poisoned" he said in a irritated voice. "I see, so that is what happened" Hinata recalled faintly as she remembered the situation a little better. "You passed out before you were able to give yourself the antidote" he explained in a low grumbling voice.

Hinata sighed before going on. She felt confused, and she could tell he didn't particularly feel like talking to her at the moment. She swore he was bipolar because of the twin living inside of him, which gave him a rather creepy demeanor. Hinata still wanted to pressure answers out of him though. "But how am I …and Suigetsu, him too…" Hinata asked incompletely. "I healed you and Suigetsu" Sakon said bluntly. Hinata faced increased shock value by the minute. Sakon gripped his stomach as he felt a sharp intense pain coming from the scar.

"Sakon, are you poisoned too?!" Hinata said in a louder voice then her normal. Sakon frowned. "Don't worry about it". Hinata searched through her bag to find any signs of extra antidote, but there was no such luck. She went into a state of panic when she realized he used the last of her antidote to heal his teammates. "I can't believe you would do such a thing" Hinata said shaking. Sakon only smirked and shrugged. "W-we need to g-get you some help" she said, meeting his cold sick eyes.

"There's no help for me now. No one else carries poison antidote with them, I checked the whole team." he said. Hinata became increasingly worried. Her eyes glittered with a slight sign of wetness. Sakon doubled over in another painful twitch taking over his body. The poison had spread quicker then he thought. "One last thing before I go" he said in a strong enough voice as ever. Hinata had chocked on any other sentences she tried to say.

She could suddenly feel his hot breath crawl across her neck. Her face turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down her face. He placed a gentle unexpected kiss on her forehead. Hinata let out a small gasp as his kiss almost turned into a bite from him reacting to another shot of pain. He muttered an apology under his breath and looked towards the ground. Hinata's face turned whiter then the clouds in the sky. She suddenly felt sick, like his death was all her fault. He collapsed on the hard ground, and Hinata did that same.

Although Hinata still feared the thought of the monstrous Sakon, some say they saw tears in her eyes when she fell unconscious again for the second time. Little did she know, there was a second part to the shinobi that broke free from the poisonous death…his twin brother Ukon.
