Chapter: Seventeen
"Separation"

A door opened suddenly, blinding my eyes with a painful bright light. I quickly used my arm as a shield as I tried to see who was there. Squinting behind the sleeve of my shirt, I could see the vague silhouette of a man. Or was it a woman? My vision wasn't too reliable at the moment.

"Ok Hyuuga, it's time to go." The voice was deep and strong, a male's voice. Soon an arm reached into the darkness and grabbed my arm roughly pulling my forward.

After almost tripping from a step I hadn't known was there, I stood next the man who had pulled me from the carriage

We were still in the forest, that gave me a bit of relief, that meant the others still had a chance of finding me. But the only problem was, were they even in the condition of trying?

Before I got too lost into my thoughts I heard a strange slipping sound from my side. Turning, I saw the man beginning to pulling something out of a black bag.

"Now, don't make this difficult Hyuuga." He said as he whipped a brown rope around in the air. My eyes widened and my hands began to shake as he took my arm into his strong grasp. I knew I should of put up a fight, but I didn't stand a chance to this man- and I knew that.

After he tied my hands together in front of my body he took out a white cloth and continued to tie that around my mouth and eyes; preventing me from speaking and seeing. My hands had not stopped shaking, nor had my nerves slowed while he was finishing.

"Let's go." He said pushing me in front of him, making me walk shakily and blindly ahead. Of coarse I could of used my Byakugan, but I didn't know much about this man and for all I knew he could be overpoweringly powerful. I'd rather not take my chances, yet.

The man lead me through the forest for about fifteen minutes before grabbing my shirt to halt my walk. I stood silent, not wanting to upset him in anyway. If I did everything he said maybe he would figure he could let me go, but that thought wasn't too reassuring.

"Your comrades, they are causing my partners a little trouble." He said as he loosened the cloth around my eyes, allowing it to drop to my neck. Turning my head to face him, I saw he was not alone. There was another man; bigger in size then the first, standing behind us simply looking into the forest; lost in thought.

"-So the Leader as ordered me to interrogate you with the same questions." He turned his gaze to mine, boring into my soul with a simple glace. "-But lets just say, I'm not as easy to lie too." He nodded to his partner who instantly came to his side baring a huge, sharp, sword in his grasp; both smirked as they got closer.

"Do you have any problems with this Miss Hyuuga?" The man with the sword asked as he lowered it to my face.

Normal POV

Another scream came from deep within my throat, spilling into the air with a shrieking sound that could defend almost anyone. Yuuhi continued to thrash about; trying his hardest to get lose and come to my aid, but his attempts were futile, the more he thrashed the harder Deidara tightened the grip on his shoulder. At one point, I even noticed blood trickling down were Deidara's fingers were imbedded.

"Let's try again, shall we? What is Hiashi's plan with the Hidden Mist Village?" Sasori demanded, pulling his chakra strings apart- making my shoulders crack even farther. By now, tears were flooding down my face. I could do nothing to prevent them but I did have enough control over my whimpers, for this pain was sever but definitely as sever as I have experienced before.

"I told y-you-" I spit some blood from my mouth and made sure it hit Sasori's cloak. "-I do not know!" Sasori pulled harder this time, showing his dislike with not only my answer but my blood now falling from his cloak. I screamed again.

"Leave her alone!" Yuuhi's voice shrieked, as he finally got loose from the strings around his mouth. He had activated his Sharingan and was now glaring viciously at Sasori, who looked at him in complete boredom.

"I said leave her alone!" The venom in his voice was even stronger then any cobra's bite.

"Foolish man, your pity request are as empty as this child's lies. Do not interfere with things that do not involve ones as such as you." Sasori answered in a dull lifeless tone.

"You filthy being, what could you possibly gain by torturing a young girl whom obviously has no connection to Hiashi's plans? Have you not noticed? She isn't a Hyuuga! Hiashi only reveals such information to his right hand men!" Yuuhi protested as he thrashed against Deidara's grasp. Sasori seemed unchanged by Yuuhi's words and simply looked away, turning his attention back to my trembling form.

"You, what is your name anyways?" He asked me after a short pause. The question took me off guard for a bit but I answered none the same.

"T-Tsuki. Tsuki Dustenii." As the words slipped from my lips Sasori dropped the hold he had on me allowing my body to collapse to the ground. A final scream erupted from my throat as my weight landed on my dislocated shoulder.

Sasori turned his back to me, ignoring me completely as he stared at Deidara with question in his eyes. Deidara looked very uncomfortable.

"She said she is from the Dustenii clan, Deidara." Sasori said as he inched closer to his partner. "-Dustenii!"

"Yes, I-I am aware of that fact. Actually from first seeing her I-I knew that." Deidara's gaze wavered and his grip on Yuuhi dropped, Yuuhi took that opportunity to crawl his way over to me.

"Are you alright Tsuki?" Yuuhi whispered as he helped me sit up. I nodded as he wiped a smudge of dirt from my cheek.

"I'm fine, but where is Neji?" I took in a deep breath, I was lying about being fine. Yuuhi's head crannied as he searched the visible forest for any sign of my Fianc.

Yuuhi slowly turned his head back to you, guilt showing clearly in his Sharingan eyes. I felt my heart drop to the pit of my stomach as a single tear fell from my eye.

Hinata's POV

"You are starting to become a huge annoyance to us." The man spat as he and his partner left me at the base of the large oak. My body was shaking uncontrollably as more and more tears cascaded down my face. This pain, it was worse then anything I have ever experienced in my entire life

And now I was completely alone.

Biting down on my bottom lip I began to pull up my distorted legs. One had been severely crushed, it was broken in more then five places, and was bleeding so bad that the puddle was about to reach my arms. Crying out, I tried as hard as I could to bend my leg, hoping to stop the chance of me bleeding to death. But no matter how hard I tried, and no matter how long it felt I was at it- I couldn't do it.

So I left it alone. But the attempts had wore me out, and the blood was still gushing from the numerous wounds. Soon my body began to shake and my visions was darkening.

'Please, find me...' I let that last thought comfort me before my eyeslids fell and took me into the darkness.

Normal POV

"On the count of three we will take a run in that direction." Yuuhi whispered, pointing to my right as Sasori and Deidara began arguing louder. I nodded and took in a deep breath.

"One-"

My heart began to beat faster. The men in the above trees began to switch their positions, it seemed they were getting a bit suspicions.

"Two-"

I just noticed the darkness, it was over powering, how would you be able to see your way? Maybe we needed to plan this out. I turned to Yuuhi and opened my mouth but he cut me off before any words could be spoken.

"Three!" Yuuhi yelled as he and I both jumped up. I pumped my legs as hard as I possibly could, biting my lip as pain pulsated throughout my body.

The sound of many angry screams was easily heard from behind us. It didn't take the other men to realize we had escaped before they began to follow. Even Deidara and Sasori could be heard throwing curses our way.

"C-Can you see anything?" I asked Yuuhi as I held my side. All this running was killing not only my shoulder but also my broken rib. I didn't know how much farther I could run before I'd collapse.

"Yes, there is a clearing coming up with a small creek at its edge." Yuuhi answered just as an explosion went off not too far behind us. Chunks of earth began to rain down upon us as we tried our best to dodge them.

"Damnit!" I cursed as a large chunk pelted me on my back. I glanced back but soon regretted it. Deidara and Sasori were only inches behind with their partners gaining.

"Tsuki, we are going to have to split up." Another explosion went off only inches behind my feet causing me to stumble slightly.

"N-No!" My eyes were getting hazy as another explosion sent more earth into the air. I needed Yuuhi, we couldn't split up. He was the reason I was still running.

"They will eventually catch up with us if we keep this up." Another explosion went off, this time in front of you. Yuuhi instantly pulled me from it's path. "-and I don't know about you, but I could pass out any second now."

"W-what about Hinata? Neji? We can't all split up." I was trying everything I could to keep him from leaving. I didn't want to say this aloud but within the short amount of time we had spent together Yuuhi had become very dear to me. If anything happened to him when we split, I would instantly blame myself for not going after him.

"Tsuki, I promise we will meet up again. Hell, we still have a wedding to go to!" Yuuhi laughed as he placed his hand into his vest. "-and to prove I am not lying, keep this." In his hand he held the photo of his wife. I knew how important this photo was to him, and for him to offer it to me in such a situation, I knew what he spoke of was true.

I took the photo, holding it tightly in my grasp. "Thank you Yuuhi." I said with a smile.

"Until then my dear Tsuki." Yuuhi gave me a final smile before he turned and disappeared into the trees.

I felt my throat tighten as his form was no longer visible. I opened my mouth to yell out to him but a fiery explosion defended my cry.

Hinata's POV

A rustle in a nearby bush tore me from my sleep.

"Please not now, leave me be..." I thought desperately as the sound got louder. The rustle soon stopped as a form stepped from the shadows, my eyes squeezed shut not wanting what was next.

"L-leave me alone." I gasped as the shadowed form stepped over me.

"Hinata?" I opened my eyes to see the most wonderful sight I could possibly see at that moment.

"N-Neji?!" I cried out as another flow of tears began to fall down my face, these tears no longer of fear.

He didn't look as bad as me, but he was still roughed up a bit. With a large gash running down the side of his face, clothes torn and blood flowing out of them, and not to mention his mouth was dripping blood.

"Neji, where are the others? Tsuki and Yuuhi?" I asked as I saw he was alone. He turned his head to the floor and swallowed hard.

"I don't know, the last time I saw them, they-" It looked hard for him to continue, but after a short pause he said what would leave my heart torn, "-They were being tortured."

I almost couldn't believe him, if it wasn't for the heartache in his eyes.

"No..."
