Chapter 2
"How would you like to be strong, to prove your clan wrong"
Hinata stared up at the man, who had just spoken these words's "B-u-t h-o-w?"
A smile appeared on Itachi's face, a smile (well more of a smirk, but still). This cheeped Hinata out a bit. She had heard stories of Itachi Uchiha but not once had she heard of him smiling even if it was just a smirk what did he find so amusing.
"By me becoming your sensei"
Hinata was speechless. Itachi Uchiha was offering to become her sensei, her Hinata Hyuuga the worthless, weak heir to the Hyuuga name, her the one no one even bothered to try to teach, her the shy girl who couldn't say as much as a word without stuttering. One word came to her lips and her mind. "why?"
"Because you have talent, and I hate seeing that go to waste"
Talent her, that was a compliment she wasn't use to getting.
"I'll teach you all I you need to know…then you will return to Kahona"
"Hai, It-ach-i-sensei…bu-t whe-n wi-ll I re-tu-rn to Ka-hon-a"
"When you have learned all I have to teach you" Itachi said as he turned around to leave. Hinata stood beneath the oak tree she had been hiding behind thinking what had just happened. Had she really just made a deal to be trained by Itachi Uchiha the genius of the Uchiha clan, the Itachi Uchiha who Sasuke wants to kill, the Itachi Uchiha who massacred his entire clan?
"Are you coming" Itachi's voice came from far away. Hinata hadn't noticed he had started walking away.
"Hai" Hinata replied then quickly took off after her sensei. Leaving behind any one or thing she had once held dear. She would one day return to Konohagakure, but not with Kiba and Shino. She would return a different Kunoichi, a stronger Kunoichi, a Better Kunoichi.
Then a thought struck her. The gem in her pocket it's one of the gem's her, Kiba and Shino had to transfer from Konohagakure to the village hidden in the sand. It's what Itachi and the other two Akatsuki were after. She reached into her pocket and retrieved the sapphire stone.
"Itachi-sensei"
"yes what is it Hinata" he said turning back toward the small Kunoichi.
"Th-i-s is wh-a-t you ca-me fo-r is it no-t" she said holding the gem out to her sensei
Itachi turned to walk forward again "you can hold that for now"
"H-ai Ita-chi-sensei" Hinata replied sliding the sapphire gem back into her tan coat pocket.
"And Hinata stop stuttering"
"Hai"
They walked silently for about an hour when Hinata spoke up.
"Itachi-sensei" It was taking all she had in her not to stutter "where are we going"
"To meet up with my team"
"Yo-u mean the two other nin-ja that went af-ter Ki-ba-kun and Sh-ino-kun"
"Yes…and what did I say about stuttering"
"So-rry Itachi-sensei"
It again grew quiet, and remained so until they came upon a clearing where a man with blue skin was sitting on a rock. He was leaning on a sword that was wrapped in white cloth, this seemed very odd to Hinata.
"Kisame-san"
This blue shark faced man's name was Kisame.
"Itachi-san…" the shark man glanced toward Hinata "you know a little girl is fallowing you right?"
Itachi said nothing but gave Kisame a death glare as if to say touch her and you die. Kisame shut up and went back to lazily leaning on his sword. Itachi walked over and sat down on a rock near Kisame, Hinata fallowed suit and sat close to Itachi. She had no idea why but she felt safer with Itachi than she did with anyone she had ever known before.
"So what's your name" this voice belonged to the blue skinned shark man.
"Hin-a-ta Hyu-uga"
Itachi gave her a look out off the corner of his eye, no doubt because she stuttered.
"Kisame…"Itachi said turning the man's attention from the girl back to him." Did you retrieve the stone?"
"Yea, Yea keep you shorts on" he said reaching into his cloak to retrieve a Ruby stone. Hinata recognized it right away; it was the gem Shino had been carrying.
Kisame caught Hinata staring at the stone. Then he looked at her once more, she had been the Kunoichi that was with the bug ninja he had left on the forest ground (*passed out not dead). What was Itachi doing with this girl she was the enemy wasn't she?
"Itachi where's the stone you were supposed to get?"
Itachi looked to Hinata as a sign to retrieve the stone from her pocket, she did just that. The Sapphire stone shined as it was removed from Hinata's tan coat pocket.
"You're letting the little girl hold it"
"Yes I'm letting the little girl hold it" Itachi said grabbing the stone from Kisame and from Hinata then placing them in a small black bag. "Where's Deidara?"
Just then a figure appeared behind them "God so impatient Itachi… I'm right here Un."
"You're late Deidara"
"Sorry…hey why's there a little girl sitting next to you, Un?"
Itachi was getting tired of having to explain why Hinata was around. But he knew he would have to do it a few more times, now for Deidara and then again for the leader. He would have Kisame explain it to every one else back at the base, if they asked. Before Itachi even got the chance to speak Hinata did
"Ita-chi is my Sensei"
"Oh so you are training her Itachi, Un" Deidara said taking a seat across from Kisame.
Itachi hated how Deidara said UN after every sentence it was just annoying but he would have to deal with it for a little longer any way. Just till they returned from this mission then, hopefully, he wouldn't have any other missions with him.
"Yes" Itachi replied giving Deidara a death glare from under his hat.
'So Itachi has a student' Kisame thought 'but why some one so weak'. Kisame had been thinking over the scene that had happened about an hour ago. But the funniest part he thought was how this Kunoichi was the shy type. And Itachi hated people who were so shy and weak. Was he really going to train her it seemed impossible to Kisame. But then again he didn't see what Itachi saw in the young former Hyuuga Heiress.
Hinata was keeping up with the three men as they headed toward the Akatsuki base but it was getting harder by the second she had lost a huge amount of blood back there, and it had affected her vision. She had never felt so worn out; "it must be how low my chakra levels are." Hinata thought. "I'll just have to ender the pain until I reach my new home."
Hinata wanted so bad to know how her friends were. So she gathered the little courage she had left and spoke up. "Deidara-Sama, Kisame-Sama" Hinata said attracting the two men's attention to her.
"Yes what is it Hinata-san" Kisame said as Deidara just simply said
"What?"
"Th-e two nin-ja you were figh-ting… what happ-ened to them?"
"The bug boy? Let's see I left him unconscious on the forest floor" Kisame stated then turned around to walk forward again.
"I left the dog and the loud mouth alive in a cave about a mile or three that a way…Yea" Deidara said pointing to his left.
Hinata smiled now she knew her friends were alive and safe. But they would be worried sick about her. It would be alright maybe it was better if they thought she was dead.
