Chapter 10

Kakashi and Hinata stayed there together, holding each other for long moments. Finally, Kakashi looked down at her and lifted her chin slightly to meet her gaze.

"Hinata, we need to find the others and get out of here. According to what Orochimaru said, they are still alive." She nodded her head and looked back at his chest, watching blood drip from Kakashi's still open wound. She pulled her hand to her mouth as she let out a whisper.

"I-I can't believe I did this to you…" Kakashi just stroked her hair with his blood free hand and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"I'm fine, really… plus, I knew you didn't have control over what you were doing…" She grabbed a section of the sheets on the bed and ripped it into a long strip. She carefully wrapped it around the major wound and tied it tightly, causing Kakashi to let out a small grunt. She jerked her hands back.

"I-I'm sorry, is it too tight?" He shook his head and smiled. He noticed she kept covering her arms with her hands, trying to stay as concealed as she could.

"No, it's perfect Hinata." He got up and found his back pack sitting to the side of the room. Wiping his hand on the remaining sheets from the bed, he carefully picked through the bag and pulled out Hinata's jacket he packed. Turning back to her, he walked up behind and helped her put it on.

"There, so now you won't feel too exposed." Hinata giggled and kissed him. Zipping up the jacket, she tugged at the skirt, wishing it would grow even an inch longer to cover more of her legs. Kakashi smirked, pulling up his mask. Grabbing his bag, he walked to the door with Hinata close behind. Hand on the knob, Kakashi hesitated before opening the door. 'There is something I'm missing…'

-----

"Neji, if you try to move again, I swear I will get up and chidori you ass!" Sasuke glanced over at the Hyuuga still attempting to get to the door. He shot back an angry glare and spat back.

"Go ahead and try. You will witness my 8 trigrams!" Both guys laid on the floor, shouting insults back and forth to each other. Tenten sighed and suggested she go see what's up with Kakashi, but took it back when she was snapped at with a loud 'NO!' from both Neji and Sasuke. Sakura had enough of the shouting.

"GRR!!! Will you guys shut up!!! I'll go see what's holding him up!!!" She got up and proceeded to walk to the door as Neji, Sasuke, and Tenten shouted for her to stop. She spun around and pulled out the medicine container.

"If any of you try to stop me, I swear I will put a handful of cream on your wounds!" They all froze, staring at the container in her hand. Sasuke reached for his weapons pouch and threw it towards her.

"Here…come back in one piece, ok?" Sakura smiled and picked up the pouch. Pulling out a kunai, she strapped it on and went through the door. Neji and Tenten both looked back to Sasuke, who just sighed.

"What? I didn't want more of that stuff on me! You've got to be crazy!" They both nodded their heads and sat back. Neji muttered something about going to help and Sasuke came back with the chidori comment, which led to more arguing. Tenten held her head in her hand as the two went at it yet again. 'Hurry back Sakura…'

-----

Kakashi and Hinata silently walked down the hall. Kakashi still had an uneasy feeling, but kept going. Turning the corner, he froze and Hinata bumped into him. Looking around him, she saw the man that came with the message to Orochimaru. He was a giant, standing close to 7 ft. tall with huge muscles. He turned slightly to meet the gaze of the two.

"You there! Where are you going!" Hinata stepped out from behind Kakashi. He started to pull her back, but she shrugged him off and instead grabbed his arm. Giving him the same expression she had under Orochimaru's control, she whispered to him.

"Play along." Dragging him closer, Kakashi tried resisting without pulling too hard. Hinata faced the man and forced a fake smile.

"L-Lord Orochimaru wanted me to escort this man to the washing area. As you can see, he is a mess and he was making my Lord angry dripping blood everywhere." Hinata tried to keep her voice calm, but it was hard with this man looming over her. He wasn't that bright, so she hoped this little act would get past him. He scratched his head and nodded.

"Ok, sounds good enough." Hinata's fake smile widened as she began to pull Kakashi past the man. However, he held his hand out, blocking the entire width of the hall so they couldn't pass.

"Hey, isn't the bathroom that way?" His suspicions grew as Hinata began to shake a little. His hand was close to her throat; he could have grabbed her easily. Backing away a little, she glanced at Kakashi with a worried look. Turning back, she kept smiling.

"I-I'm sorry, I must have made a m-mistake…" The man looked at her jacket and narrowed his eyes.

"Hey, you weren't wearing that jacket earlier..." Hinata looked down for a second and looked back to the man, getting even more uneasy.

"W-Well, see my Lord decided to let me w-wear it so I w-won't be so e-exposed to everyone…" She couldn't help the stuttering; the man was catching on and she didn't know what to do. Kakashi noticed this and readied for anything to come.

"Well, you walked around without it on before… wait a sec, you're covered in blood too! And you're acting differently…like before Lord Orochimaru…Shit!" The man, though dumb beyond all reason, finally caught on. He reached out for Hinata, but Kakashi was prepared for this. Grabbing Hinata around the waist, he jumped back out of the man's reach. The man, though big, was very slow.

"Get back here!" Kakashi landed down on one knee. He had used so much of his energy earlier with that attack, plus the wounds had started to bleed more with all the extra movements. Hinata gasped and set him down. Concern began building in her eyes.

'Kakashi can't fight in his condition! I-I guess I'm gonna have to save him!' The man was coming up on them, but Hinata grabbed a kunai Kakashi had in his bag. It was the only weapon she had. Running in front to protect him, she got into a battle stance. Kakashi looked up, concern for her safety building in him. But, soon it was replaced by a hidden smirk.

"Um… Hinata, I can see your…" Hinata turned a bright pink as she spun around and tugged down on her skirt.

"S-Stop looking! Can't you see I'm t-trying to fight here! You're m-messing with my concentration!!!" The big man looked where Kakashi was looking; his face turning up in a smile. Spinning around, Hinata glared at the man.

"And you definitely better stop looking there!" The man smirked at her. He reached out again, but Hinata quickly sidestepped, dodging his slow movements. Her skirt kept coming up, getting remarks from both men in the room. Hinata kept blushing from Kakashi, to getting mad at the giant, and back to blushing again. Sighing, she activated her byakugan and moved in.

"I told you to stop looking!" She closed in on the man, dodging his attacks easily. Lashing out with the kunai, she landed a few cuts on the man. Watching him stumble back slightly, she went in and kicked his feet out from beneath him. He fell with a loud thud, knocking his head against the pavement. Kakashi smiled as Hinata walked to the man's head.

"So, did you get him?" Looking down at the man, he slowly looked at her and grinned.

"Y-Your... p-pink lace panties… are h-hot…" Hinata turned red from anger. Drawing her foot back, she slammed it square into his face, sending teeth flying as his head twisted and smacked the floor on the other side. Kakashi chuckled as Hinata walked back towards him.

"What? I told him to stop!" She kneeled down beside him and kissed him on the cheek. Just then, the door they had to go through shook and they heard a voice ring out.

"Hey, what's going on in there?! ...Why aren't you answering? Damn it, I'm coming in!"

-----

Sakura crept down the hall, coming to a dead end with two halls branching off the ends. Not really sure where to go, she listened out for any sign of movement to lead her in the right direction. A faint tap drew her attention to the left. Following the tap, she heard a small grunt followed by more taps. Guessing to go left, she began walking silently. The taps got louder as she slowly peaked around the corner. Sure enough there was a guard blocking a door.

"Damn…I hate guarding this door, nothing interesting happens…" He tapped his kunai on the ground as he sat in front of the door. Sakura sweat dropped as she watched the lazy guard. He wasn't that big of a guy, but having no guard up would make it easy to take him. Stepping around the corner, she threw her kunai at the man.

"W-What the…" The man just barely had time to through his kunai to knock hers off target. She stopped before him, smiling as she looked him over. 'Now he has no weapon…'

"Who are you and what's so funny?!" The man was now standing in a battle stance. Sakura pulled out another kunai.

"Nothing, just that you are a real embarrassment. Now, let me pass." She was being serious; she didn't feel like fighting, and this guy looked so stupid that she figured he might let her pass. The guy looked her over.

"Hey, you're kinda cute. What do you say you come over here and show me some moves?" Sakura sighed. 'WHAT IS UP WITH THESE CREEPS HITTING ON ME?!'

"Look, I just want to pass… now step aside before I get angry." She was startled when he jumped forward and attempted to grab her. Jumping out of his reach, she narrowed her eyes and lunged forward with a punch square to the face. The man flew back into the wall, smacking his head on metal. He laid there as Sakura walked past him.

"I just… wanted… to pass!" Walking through to the next room, she was met with more halls branching off. Hearing no noise, she took a chance to go down the hall to the right. Coming up to a corner, she peaked around and once again found another guard. 'Do I have good luck or what?!'

This guard was much bigger, much like the man that Hinata fought. He was standing in front of the door, more attentive than the other lazy bum she just took out. Stepping out with kunai in hand, she approached the man, who immediately took a fighting stance. Seeing it was a girl, he eased up a bit and smiled at her.

"What's a cutie like you doing in here all alone?" Sakura rolled her eyes. 'NOT AGAIN!!!' The man lunged forward and grabbed her arm. He was faster than the last, but Sakura jabbed the kunai at him. Instead of making contact, he took the kunai from her and scraped it across her arm, dropping it on the floor afterwards. He pushed her to the wall and began laughing. He reached out and grabbed her chest, enjoying having a woman in his presence. Just then, they heard a loud crash in the room behind them.

"What the…" The man let go of Sakura and went to the door. He banged on the door and began shouting.

"Hey, what's going on in there?! ...Why aren't you answering? Damn it, I'm coming in!" Sakura was pissed off now. This man just grabbed her chest, then walks away as if she isn't going to do anything. Building up chakra in her arm, she stalked over to the man.

"Excuse me! Watch where you touch! Nobody touches my boobs and gets away with it!" The man half turns and his face meets Sakura's mega punch. He flies into the door and bust through, leaving a steamed Sakura standing with smoke coming from her fist.

-----

Kakashi and Hinata listened as they heard a girl shouting from the other side of the door.

"W-Was that Sakura!" They watched as the man flew through the door, landing close to the other man Hinata just took down. They stared wide eyed as Sakura came walking through with smoke coming from her fist.

"I just wanted to pass… nothing more, but nooooo… you had to go and touch my – Kakashi, Hinata!" She ran to her friends, glad to see them together. However, she was shocked to see the amount of blood covering both of them. Kneeling down, she gave Hinata a hug, getting a little blood on her shirt in the process.

"Hinata, I'm so glad you're here… are you hurt anywhere?" Doing a once over and getting a nod from Hinata confirming she was ok, Sakura looked to Kakashi and followed suit. Surveying the damage of his wounds, she looked back at the blood covering all of their clothing.

"Well, Kakashi you're lucky that these wounds aren't too bad… however, you shouldn't have bled this much from them. Hinata's not hurt, so whose blood is this…" Hinata looked down at her hands and Kakashi pulled her close. She was still thinking about how she hurt him, but then images of Orochimaru flashed in her head. Those dead lifeless eyes staring back at her; his blood seeping onto her, covering her body. Sakura seemed to understand and said nothing more.

"Come on, let's get back to the others. They have been worried about you…very worried." Helping Kakashi stand, Sakura and Hinata led him back through the winding halls to the room where the others waited.

-----

"Oh come on, my hair is so much better than yours!" Sasuke rolled his eyes as he quickly snapped back.

"Yeah, sure if you like having a tub of grease in your hair…" Neji slammed his fist on the ground.

"There is no grease of any kind in my hair!" They were still laying there shouting back and forth at each other. Somehow, the fighting had gone from threats to stupid matters like whose hair is better. Whenever Tenten thought they had finally stopped, one would mutter something and the other would go off in a never ending cycle.

'Sakura, where the hell are you…' She was really getting tired of their bickering and was thinking about knocking both of them out. Just then the door opened and Tenten jumped up and readied for battle. The guys silenced, staring to see who was going to walk in. Seeing it was Sakura, Hinata, and Kakashi, Tenten sighed and ran up to them.

"You guys are ok! I'm glad you're back… they were really starting to annoy the hell out of me." Looking them all over, she walked with them back to the others. Getting Kakashi on the floor, Sakura began to clean his wounds. Pulling out the cream, she rubbed some on his chest.

"What is that stuff! It burns like hell!" He didn't struggle, but kept biting his lip to keep from crying out. Sakura smirked as Sasuke sat up and moved towards her.

"Sakura, what happened? This blood..." Kakashi shook his head.

"Don't worry Sasuke, it's not hers. All the blood you see here is either mine…or Orochimaru's…" Neji and Tenten looked at the blood covering his clothes, then to Hinata. Sakura just finished redoing Kakashi's bandage. Sasuke looked at her arm.

"How did this happen?" Looking at her arm, she sighed.

"Damn, that man cut me! This better not scar…" Pulling out a piece of cloth, she cleaned the wound and put some of the cream on it. Wrapping it up, she turned to look at the shocked faces all gaping at her.

"What?" Sasuke pointed at her arm.

"Doesn't that…burn?" Sakura shook her head.

"What are you talking about? This stuff is mild version of my kick ass medicine. You guys are just babies… Now, if you wanna talk burning, you should try the REAL medicine…" They all began shivering as they thought of her REAL medicine. Sasuke shook his head and looked back at Sakura.

"You didn't answer me. How did it happen?" Sakura narrowed her eyes and lifted her fist.

"Some creep came to me and started hitting on me, so I was gonna stab him with my kunai, but he turned it on me. He then grabbed me and touched my chest, expecting me to just sit there…oh but I showed him! I got up and mega punched his ass through the door. On the other side, I found Hinata and Kakashi, so it was all good." Sasuke smirked.

'Guess she really can take care of herself.' Neji looked at Hinata sitting beside Kakashi. He just noticed her garments, or the lack thereof.

"H-Hinata, what are you wearing?" Hinata turned a light pink that matched her skirt as faces turned to stare at her. She tugged down at the skirt again and made sure the jacket was all the way zipped up. Kakashi slid her close to him.

"It's what Orochimaru made her wear. Do you really think she would walk around in this for fun?" Neji looked away, not wanting to keep staring at his half naked cousin. Sasuke decided to change the topic.

"So, where is Orochimaru? Is he unconscious somewhere? I can't wait to get that punch you promised me." Kakashi scratched his head. 'Oh shit, he's gonna kill me…'

"Well, you see Sasuke, Orochimaru isn't unconscious… he's more like… dead…" Sasuke clenched his fist.

"But you told me you'd save a punch for me!" Kakashi sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Sorry, but I didn't really have a choice… it was either hit him with chidori, or miss and hit Hinata… and I think you know I never miss…" Sasuke looked away, still pretty pissed at this. He mumbled something under his breath.

"Jerk…" Sakura tugged on Sasuke's arm as she began to get up. She looked back at everyone else.

"Come on, let's get out of here before any of the other idiot guards find out what happened." Everyone nodded and began to move slowly to the door.

-----

Outside the house, they were astounded to find heaps of bodied lying about, as well as a limo waiting outside. Kenji stepped out of the limo, opening the door for the newly arrived people.

"Sir, nice to have you back… as well as you, Miss…" He smiled as they began filing into the limo, collapsing onto the comfortable seats. Kakashi helped Hinata in, and turned to Kenji.

"Thanks a lot Kenji… it's nice to see you too." He was about to ask some questions, but Kenji beat him to it, answering everything and giving more answers.

"I made arrangements for the bikes; they should be back at the house now. And, I took the liberty to wire the house with explosives… when we leave, it will be detonated, leaving no trace of Orochimaru or his men… I even have a report written about a 'freak accident' that occurred… it will be left with people as a cover up." Kakashi just smirked.

"I knew I could trust you." Kenji smiled as Kakashi got into the limo and sat next to Hinata. Getting into the car, he quickly pulled out of the driveway.

Tenten sighed as Neji soon rested his head on her shoulder. Leaning her head on his, she closed her eyes as he reached for her hand. Sakura sat with Sasuke's arms wrapped around her. They silently whispered things to each other that made Sakura turn pink in the face.

Kakashi had Hinata in his arms; she rested her head on his bounded chest. He wrapped one arm around her, holding her hand tightly. With his other hand, he softly stroked her hair. She closed her eyes as she sat in the comfort and safety of his arms. With a soft murmur, she squeezed his hand.

"I love you Kakashi…" He leaned and kissed her forehead, returning her squeeze.

"I love you too Hinata." She snuggled closer, not wanting this moment to end. They didn't notice it, but the two had grown even closer, their love binding them together.
