Recap:

I screamed into his hand as the ground suddenly gave out and we fell into a black tunnel. "Somebody help!"

End recap.

I blinked against the darkness as we came to a stop in a sort of cavern. And we weren't alone. Three other guys were waiting for us. "Hey boss, you got the cutie." one of them exclaimed.

"Yeah I did," the guy holding me agreed, "And I get her first." I did not like the sound of that. "Once I'm done, you guys can have your fun with her." That sounded worse! Please don't tell me they were planning to-

The guy opened a door and pushed me in. Before I could do anything, he had me pinned on a bed, tying my hands with ninja wire. Shit, he's fast. And he was planning to do that! He pulled the knot tight and sat back to look at me, practically undressing me with his eyes. He started to cover me with his body again and I lashed a foot out, catching him in the crotch. I gave a smug smirk at his gasp of pain before my head was turned by a back-handed slap. Ow! He roughly grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "That hurt, you bitch." he growled.

"Good." I growled back before he slapped me again. He grabbed my ankles and tied them to the bed as well, forcing my legs apart.

"I'm gonna have fun with you, sweetie, and you're gonna take it whether you like it or not. Got it?" I didn't answer so he grabbed my hair and pulled my head back. "Got it?"

"Yes." I whimpered. I couldn't get out. There was nothing I could do. Nobody could find me. I was helpless. I started silently crying as he used a kunai to cut off my nightgown and underwear. "Please...p-please don't." I sobbed.

"Too bad, bitch." he chuckled before he-

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhh!" I screamed.

"A virgin, huh? Perfect." he smirked.

"No! Stop! Stop it hurts! Get out of me! It hurts!" I screamed. He grabbed my throat.

"Shut up or I kill you." I shut up, muffling my screams as he started moving.

"Somebody save me. It hurts. I don't want this. Please..." I begged in my head as darkness started filling my vision.

-two days later-

The man finally pulled out of me. The boss and the other two guys had already had their fun, more than once, and he had just finished his turn. He pulled up his pants and left the room, leaving me alone. I stopped crying a long time ago and even stopped screaming as my body became numb. I was sure they were going to kill me before anyone could find me.

The boss guy came in and I mentally groaned. Please not again. "Hello, sweetie." he smirked. "I guess we're finished with you." Please kill me. Anything is better than this. "However...we may need you again soon." No, he's not going to kill me. His eyes seemed to light up as he got an idea. He did some quick handsigns and placed two fingers on my forehead. "Dragon marking jutsu!"

"Aaaahh!" I screamed as pain burst through my body. It quickly spread and condensed at my wrists and ankles and around my throat. It faded as quickly as it came and I laid there, trying to catch my breath. A crash came from outside the door and he left to investigate, leaving me alone. The sounds of fighting and groans came through the door and I tried to focus on it, the pain having made me dizzy. After a minute it was quiet again. The door opened and I thought it was one of the men again. My vision started blacking out and I knew I was going to go unconscious again.

"Hinata." came a familiar voice. The person came over and cut the ninja wire just as I fell into the darkness. Wait. It was -

-Sasuke's P.O.V-

I cut the wire holding her ankles and wrists just as she went limp. Holy crap, she looked like shit. Those bandits really used her. I grabbed a blanket and wrapped her up before lifting her and walking out of the room. Kakashi and Naruto were finishing tying up the guys. "What happened to her?" Naruto exclaimed.

"What do you think, dobe?" I growled.

"I don't know." he whined.

God, for a 17-year old he sure was clueless. "Dumbass." I mumbled before walking the way we came in. Kiba's nose hadn't done much good finding her when her trail ended suddenly. We had to get Neji and use his Byakugan before we finally found her. She shouldn't have run off alone in the first place!

"Let's hurry and get her to Tsunade." Kakashi ordered.

-hospital-

"Let here rest. If she wakes up, get me." Tsunade told me and Kakashi. "Meanwhile, I'll try to find the jutsu that created these markings." She left the room. Kakashi took up post outside the door and I sat down next to Hinata's bed.

-Hinata's P.O.V-

Mmmm. It was warm around me. Comfortable too. The only thing out of place was the slight throbbing in my wrists, ankles, and around my throat. Maybe it was from that nightmare and I never even got out of bed. I opened my eyes and knew I was wrong. I wasn't in my room. I was in a hospital room.

"You're awake?" a voice came from next to the bed. I quickly jumped out of the bed and on the other side. As I placed my weight on my legs, a sharp pain between them made me collapse. The person came over, bending down to help me. I curled up, closing my eyes, and kicked out, screaming, not even looking at who it was. I struggled as the person grabbed my feet and pinned them down. "Kakashi!" Wait. Kakashi-sensei? "Hinata, calm down." the person snapped. I kept my eyes closed and shook my head.

"No! Let me go! Stop it!" I screamed.

"Hinata, it's Sasuke! Now stop struggling!"

"Let go of me!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Kakashi, what should I do?" the person questioned.

"We should quiet her first of all." That did sound like Kakashi-sensei! I stopped struggling and opened my eyes. Kakashi was standing at the end of the bed and Sasuke was right at my feet, holding them down. I immediately shut my mouth and Sasuke seemed to relax a bit. Guess my screams kinda hurt his ears.

"I-i'm s-sorry." I whimpered.

"Just don't do that again." he mumbled before getting up, slightly rubbing one ear. He sighed. "Can you stand by yourself long enough to get back on the bed?" I shook my head no. He came toward me slowly and lifted me up, placing me on the bed.

"W-what h-happened?" I asked. "I-i mean h-how'd you find me a-and get me b-back?"

"Neji's byakugan found you after Kiba lost your scent and the enemies were easy to take care of." Kakashi explained. "I'll go get a nurse." he left which left Sasuke and me alone. It's not that I was afraid of Sasuke, I was just that now I was afraid of basically all males...especially when we're alone.

Sasuke was watching me closely and it was really making me uncomfortable. "W-why are y-you watching m-me?" He shrugged. "C-can you stop p-please?" He nodded and looked away.

"Is there anything I can get you before Kakashi gets the nurse?"

"I-i kinda need c-clothes."

He nodded. "I'll go tell him." He left and I laid back down. I looked around the room, over thinking about the things I saw so my mind didn't wander and dwell about the past events. The door opened, making me jump, and a nurse came in with a stack of clothes and a clipboard.

"Hello." she greeted. I nodded in acknowledgement. "I need to give you a quick check-over and then you can get dressed and have someone sign the sheet to release you." she explained. I nodded again as Kakashi came back in.

"I'll sign her out once you're done." he said to the nurse before turning to me. "Once you're ready to go, we're to go to Tsunade." I nodded again and he left the room for the nurse to do the check-up.

-Hokage's office-after the hospital-

"Hello Hinata." Tsunade spoke up as Kakashi, Sasuke, and I came in. Why was Sasuke here?

"H-hello." I responded.

"I haven't found the jutsu behind your markings yet but I assure you I am trying."

"M-markings?" I asked.

"The dragon marks around your throat, wrists, and ankles." she replied. I looked down at my wrists. I had noticed them when I was getting dressed but I wasn't sure what they were. "While I look for it, I want you to stay with someone so we can keep an eye on you."

"Do you already have someone in mind, Tsunade?" Kakashi asked.

"I do. It may not be the best choice considering what she went through but it's the only one I had." she sighed.

"W-who is it?" I stuttered.

"Hinata Hyuuga. I am assigning you to stay with Sasuke Uchiha."
