chapter- 5 Black Water
Sasuke was the first one to notice that Tenten was already there. She was throwing shuriken at a target in the center of a tree. Kakashi, Sasuke and Hinata watched her movements and how she had perfect bulls eyes every time. Tenten even tried it with her eyes closed, still, same deadly accuracy. "Are you guys going to stand there and watch me all day?"
Kakashi had not been paying much attention to Tenten since he was wrapped up in his book. Hinata was too shy to say anything. Sasuke was the only one besides Tenten who spoke. "No. We have a mission."
TenTen smirked. "So where is the Kazekage anyway?"
"We don't know."
"What?!"
"…"
TenTen rubbed her forehead in frustration. Only a few minutes and they were already failing. She, TenTen, was NOT ALLOWED to FAIL anything. Especially if she wanted to be stronger than Neji so he could notice her. If she came back a failure, Neji would have her kicked off the team for sure. "We HAVE to find him!" she walked past the other three ninja towards the Hokage's office.
---------With Gaara------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara walked through the streets of Konoha looking for a certain blue haired kunoichi. He had looked at the malls, major stores, her apartment, and even the hospital. Nothing. Then it hit him, 'The training grounds! Why didn't I think of this before?!'
Because you are slow the Kyubi sniggered.
'Shut up. You didn't think of it either!'
Since when do you listen to me?
'When I get mad and you take control over my body to kill people for your disgusting taste for blood'
Ah but you see, even when I take control over your body you fight me so that means you don't listen to me even though deep inside you know that you want to spill others blood.
Gaara snorted at this. 'The only blood I want to spill is that Sakura whore'
Then why didn't you kill her?
'I am not letting her get the easy way out for hurting Hinata'
You love her don't you?
'No.'
Yes you do. You cant lie to me. I AM inside YOU after all.
'Just shut up'
Fine but I will be back.
Gaara finally made it to the training grounds. He found faint traces of chakra but it seemed there were more than one. He could not tell who's it was. 'Damn it, I'm getting weak' and with that thought Gaara decided to go to his apartment, change and train for the rest of the day. He wanted to continue his assault on a certain pink haired whore but he thought it would be funny to leave her in her 'cozy' room without food or water for a few days. He imagined her going absolutely insane inside her coffin prison.
His thoughts wandered back to the blonde captive. Gaara wondered if he had awoken yet. The drug Gaara had given him should begin to wear off by the end of the day.
--------------------Back in Naruto's chamber--------------------------------------------------------
Naruto laid comfortably on the floor snoozing away. "Ramen…" he began to drool on the floor causing him to yell out "Oh boy! I'm swimming in a giant bowl of Ramen!" then his arms and legs twitched as if swimming then he fell into his deep slumber again.
-------Hokage's office---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team three and Kakashi walked in to find Tsunade passed out over her paperwork. A cup of sake in her right hand while the other was hung over the desk. "M-ma-ybe we-we sh-shou-ld go." Hinata examined Tsunade's drunken form.
"No way! I came to ask where Gaara is!" TenTen yelled at Hinata.
Tsunade twitched when TenTen yelled. "We have to wake her up!"
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP MY HEAD HURTS!!!" Tsunade was now standing behind her desk with her hands on her pounding head.
"Sorry Hokage-sama but we were wondering if you knew where Gaara is" TenTen bowed to show her apologies.
"As a matter of fact I do. He is at his apartment right now." Tsunade sat in her chair.
At that moment team two ran in the door, well, Shikamaru and Kiba did.
"WE HAVE A FEW PROBLEMS!!!" Kiba shouted immediately grabbing everyone's attention.
Not waiting for their responses he continued to yell out, "NARUTO AND SAKURA ARE MISSING AND SO IS GAARA!!!"
At this Tsunade stood up again. She made a few whistles and soon three ANBU officers were in front of her. They each bowed and awaited their orders. "We need to locate the now missing Kazekage. Find him. Keep him alive and bring him back here as soon as possible. And no screw ups got it?"
Hinata grew nervous at the thought of Naruto going missing and quite possible being hurt. Sasuke saw this by reading her body language and slightly growled to himself. Man it sucked liking someone who didn't know you exist! 'Is this what Hinata feels like?' a wave of pity washed over him for the poor girl.
The officers nodded before disappearing to look for Gaara. In the mean time Kiba began to argue with TenTen over which weapons were better, Sasuke leaned on a wall, Kakashi was in his own little world, Shikamaru took a nap, and Hinata took out a small pouch which contained water. Hinata saw that the color of the pouch was, bright red, so she excused herself and ran outside. 'Not now!'
As usual no one took note that Hinata was now gone. Well, one person did. He followed her to a clearing. A small river was the only source of sound. Hinata uncapped the pouch releasing red water. Hinata sighed as she began to move with the water. He watched her from afar trying to figure out what she was doing an how she was doing it.
----Hinata's POV--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsunade had just sent the ANBU off to search for Gaara. Wondering why my left pocket felt hot I pulled out my pouch of water. Seeing it bright red I began to panic. I excused myself but no one paid attention, as always. I needed to let the water out as soon as possible or else I wouldn't be able to control it. Running towards a river I released the water. It burned me as it spun around my body causing me to want to scream. After learning to tolerate the water I began to move from side to side causing the water to turn clear again. Once every bit of red was gone I forced the water back into the now baby blue pouch. I was so happy that I could now purify the water on my own. Deciding to go back to the office I made sure no one could see my pouch. I had hidden this for so long and I wasn't about to show it off to anyone, not yet. I took a few steps thinking about how peoples reactions would be when they figured out my secret.
"Hinata…" a clear smooth voice rang out through the trees calling my name. I hesitated but turned anyway. There in the clearing was the one man who the ANBU had been searching for. I was not aware of his presence until he had spoken to me. Feeling weak I made an attempt to respond. The question was, What to respond? Neither of us said anything and I could swear that time itself had completely stopped the moment he revealed himself to me.
"Gaara…" I said without stuttering.
-----------------Regular POV now--------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara stared at Hinata. "How did you do that?"
Hinata's blood drained from her face. She hoped to hell that he would not expose her talents. "D-Do w-wh-at?" She mentally cursed herself for stuttering again. They exchanged few words for a few minutes which felt like an eternity to both.
----------Guy who followed her POV---------------------------------------------------------------
I had watched her leave. Shortly though I excused myself to follow her. She was walking rather fast and I almost lost her in the forest twice. How could she have gotten so fast? And what was that red thing she was holding? I watched her in awe as she moved the water. It went from bright blood red to crystal clear. I could tell she was tired but it seemed easy. Maybe I would try it later? I saw her turn to leave but heard a voice calling out to her. Once I saw him appear, once I saw how he looked at her I wanted to kill him. No one was going to take my Hinata away from me.
------------Gaara's POV before he saw Hinata-----------------------------------------------------
Faint noises could be heard from the training yard. Upon closer inspection I realized that I recognized the chakra. 'could it really be her?' I made my way through the trees and shrubs. I couldn't believe it. It was Hinata. I would have shown my presence but chose not to since Hinata looked as if she were in deep concentration. Before I knew it she was moving with the water and it went from bright red to as clear as the sky. Seeing her begin to leave I did the only thing that came to mind to make her stay. I called out her name. At first I thought she was going to run but when she turned I could have sworn the world had just stopped. She looked at me before saying my name. Her stuttering gone. Then I recalled her water display and decided to question her on it, hence my question.
"How did you do that?" I bet I sounded like an idiot. I already knew a part of the technique. Well, I had seen Temari attempt it but she had failed miserably. The sensei teaching her gave up on teaching her the element of water thus teaching her how to control the wind with her fan and chakra. Apparently to move water and be able to purify it takes an alarming amount of chakra which I highly doubt Hinata has.
I also had sensed a different chakra in the bushes a few from us. I knew whoever they were they were male, and I also noticed how their chakra flared when I spoke to Hinata. Maybe this male had a thing for my little Hinata. If so, he must be killed. We had a small conversation. I did not like the fact that she was stuttering again and trying to hide her water display. Why hide it if it's a special talent? I don't understand. She could probably kill many with it but yet she chooses to hide it like some coward. In a way I was disgusted to have her in my presence but at the same time I could not help but want to touch her, to hold her close.
-----------------------Normal Writing-----------------------------------------------------------------
After their conversation Gaara and Hinata walked together towards the Hokage's office. Their "stalker" had left already as well. Gaara had made some small conversation with Hinata but didn't want to seem too interested or else others would think him weak. Hinata smiled every once in awhile but he could tell that she was nervous about being alone with him. Who wouldn't be? After all, he had killed hundreds of people already. They both walked into Tsunade's office to only find Tsunade wobbling in her chair, Shikamaru asleep on the floor and Shizune hiding the left over sake from an obviously drunken Tsunade.
"w-w-here is e-eve-ry-bo-dy?" Hinata faintly asked.
Tsunade looked up, her eyes and cheeks were slightly red and her breath reeked of alcohol. "Ah! My little Hinata! Oh! And Gaara too!" She hugged them.
"Ah… um… H-hok-age-sama ma-maybe y-you sh-ou-ld g-go l-lay d-do-wn?" Hinata tried keeping her own balance up since Tsunade was now practically thrown on top of her and Gaara. Gaara on the other hand had not problem withstanding the weight. Shizune dragged Tsunade off of them and apologized. "I'm so sorry Kazekage-sama and Hyuga."
Hinata's eyes were glued to the floor in shame when Shizune called her Hyuga. Hinata could not tell them that she had been disowned. All they thought was that she wanted to be a little more free and that's why she had moved out but no one besides her family and a few employees at the hospital knew.
Shizune saw Hinata's downcast eyes, "Did I say something wrong Hyuga?"
Hinata flinched as if she were about to be hit by Shizune. "I-I h-ha-ve to g-go" Hinata bowed and left. Shizune frowned, "I hope I have not offended her" then she went back to trying to control Tsunade.
Gaara on the other hand was angered and silently plotted eliminating Shizune for making Hinata sad. Until he came with a good enough plan he would have to wait.
----------With Hinata----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinata walked through the trees not caring where she headed to. At the moment she could have cared less if the village burst into flames. Right now she just wanted to retreat to her haven and close out the world so she could wallow in her own self pity. She knew it was pathetic, she knew it was pointless but she did it anyway. Taking out a kunai she began to cut her wrists and hips. She wanted so desperately to have someone to hold, to have someone care about her.
Her pocket started vibrating. Hinata took out the small water pouch and uncapped it. Water came out, only this time it was a pitch black. She knew what this meant but she did not care. She cut her body letting the droplets of blood fuse themselves with the black water making it spin around her body at an alarming rate. The water made her skin glow for a few seconds.
Then after the glow faded away Hinata had black pointy stripe markings on her face, shoulder blades, shoulders, wrists, waist, and ankles. Her forehead had a small silver crescent moon. You could barely tell it was there due to her creamy complexion.
Hinata moved with the water making a few hand signs here and there. After that she capped the pitch black water back in the pouch. She looked at her new markings, examining them as if they weren't really there and she was simply hallucinating. But no, they were there and she was happy about it. Hinata wanted to test her new powers on something. Anything. Her markings faded out after a while leaving her to look as if there weren't a single thing out of place.
As she walked back to her small little apartment thoughts of Naruto filled her head. 'I hope he is okay. I know Naruto, he will fight to the death.' This thought was more nerve wrecking than comforting.
-------With Naruto-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile our favorite number one hyperactive knuckleheaded ninja was now waking up from his ramen filled dreams. The first thing he saw was, well, nothing. He was blindfolded. But from what he could tell he was definitely a captive. As to whose captive, Naruto was very anxious to meet them so he could beat them up. 'No one takes Naruto Uzumaki as a captive and gets away with it!'
He struggled against his chains in vain. He could feel something sharp dig into his skin when he struggled to get free. If it hadn't been for that damn blindfold he would have been able to see the barb wire that was cutting his skin. He struggled for about an hour before giving up on trying to get out. 'I guess I will have to wait until whoever caught me gets back. So damn low though, one minute I'm having sex with Sakura then I get captured!' He paused a moment. 'Holy crap! I had SEX with SAKURA!' the thought made him happy despite his current situation.
--------------Hokage's office--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So is it a deal?" a blonde ninja asked the Hokage.
Tsunade looked very serious for the first time today, "Yes, you have yourselves a deal."
They shook hands. Temari smiled in victory while Kankuro shook his head. 'I'm not sure this is such a good idea. Poor girl, she wont know what hit her with us. And who knows how Gaara will take this! Stupid Temari! How can she say that Gaara agreed?! If he finds out and doesn't like the girl she'll more than likely be killed! What are you thinking Temari?'
Tsunade herself was very curious as to why they would need a guide. Especially Hinata. She had offered up Sakura since she personally mentors her but they or rather Temari declined Sakura saying that Gaara wanted a quiet guide. Tsunade had no choice but to agree, if the Kazekage requested Hinata it was because they could get along right? Tsunade hoped everything would be ok.
"Okay so no more babysitters for Gaara as long as Hinata is with him. Don't worry Hokage-sama I promise she will not be harmed" Temari smiled brightly.
"I will hold that promise to you" Tsunade smiled in return.
And with that a now very happy Temari left with a grumpy not to mention confused Kankuro.
--------With Hinata------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinata walked towards her apartment when her cell phone rang. She sighed, "Hello?"
"Hinata!!!! Save me!!!" Neji hated asking for help but this was definitely one of those times when he HAD to ask for HELP.
She was shocked at hearing her cousins distressed voice along with crashes and muffled voices. Remembering that he had been watching her younger cousins the entire time she almost dropped her phone. "Ah! I am so sorry Neji!!!" She ran towards the Hyuga mansion to try to find his poor cousin. The fact that he could not defend himself from four ten year olds made Hinata laugh even though this was not a very good time to do so.
After half an hour of running she made it to the Hyuga mansion where loud noises and crashes were heard. Hinata was hesitant to step onto the property since she had been disowned and no one wanted her there. Heading to the door she noticed that it was slightly ajar. Something about this seemed vaguely familiar. Like a déjà vu kind of thing. Ignoring her feelings towards the awkward situation she walked inside the mansion. Everything was the same as when she remembered it. Two giant curved staircases on each side even though they both led to the same place, which was the center of the second floor balcony. The east wing door to her right and the west to her left. She was relieved that no one was home. After a few minutes of searching the west wing she decided to call her cousins phone so she could track down where he was. Pulling out her phone she pressed the number two. 'Thank you speed dial'
A faint ringing could be heard from the east wing. She walked past the Hyuga pictures, the libraries, music rooms, practice rooms, guest rooms, ect. She followed the ring tone as best as she could through the many empty hallways and rooms.
"Go to sleep bitch, why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say close your eyes?"
Hinata inched her way towards a wooden dresser, a small round mirror hung above on the wall. The ringing got louder as she opened the dresser. There on the bottom drawer was Neji's grey cell phone. She picked it up hoping that Neji would yell out not to touch his phone but nothing happened. 'Odd, he always has his phone with him.'
She closed her phone so the ringing would stop. That song reminded her too much of Neji's hatred towards her. Frowning Hinata stared at Neji's phone in her small hand. She could not believe that after all that time he still hated her. Closing her creamy eyes Hinata began to remember how many times he had tried to kill her under orders of her father. Back then Hinata thought that it was just that, just orders from her father. She would have never suspected that he actually did hate her. The day she found out was at the Chunin exams. Neji had shown no mercy on his younger cousin. Hinata had ended up with four broken ribs, a broken arm, twisted leg, and some internal bleeding. Shivering, Hinata put the cell phone back in its original place at the bottom of the drawer in the dresser.
When Hinata stood up she could of sworn she saw a shadow behind her. Quickly turning to face her foe she felt arms wrap around her body. Hinata kicked at her captor but missed repeatedly. "Let Me Go!"
Giggles were heard throughout the room. "Oh you guys better pray I don't get free!" Hinata's eyes flashed black with red pupils. All giggles ceased, instead now all you could hear were frightened squeaks. Hinata felt her body lighten and power embrace her. She could no longer know what she was doing. Her conscious slipped away into her mind.
