Hinata sighed, slipped her packed back under her bed. Itachi had given her permission to spend one last day in Konoha before she left with them. He said him and his partner, who she has yet to meet, had to take care of something anyway. So she looked around her room again, making sure that if someone walked in they wouldn't notice anything missing. Once she was sure nothing seemed suspicious, she made her way down the stairs for breakfast.
"Good morning Hinata." Hanabi said, walking past her. She didn't glance at her as she walked into the kitchen and Hinata sighed, trying not to feel hurt. She shook her head, holding her head up as she walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table with her father, Hanabi and, Neji. Once seated, a maid put her breakfast down in front of her and they all began to eat quietly. The meal was quiet and calming, just like every morning. Not a word was spoken as everyone stood and the maids collected the dishes. Hinata watched everyone leave, and shook her head. That was one thing she wouldn't miss. Her family ignoring her.
"It'll be different soon.." she whispered to herself, walking out of the eating room to the front door. She flipped her shoes on and left for the training grounds, looking around. She kind of wondered where the Akatsuki lived. Was it in a place like Konoha? Was it snowy there? She sighed as many question arose in her, but she shook them off quickly as she arrived.
"Hinata-chan, there you are!" Kiba exclaimed happily, running up to her, Akamaru on his heals.
"H-Hello Kiba-kun.." Hinata said softly, blushing as he slung an arm over her shoulder and lead her to the rest of the team. She smiled at Shino who nodded back and then she smiled at her sensei. She really would miss her team, but they just didn't appreciate her, and they would be better off without her anyway. She wouldn't be there to hold them back in their training or make them fail their missions. They would get a strong kunoichi to replace her when she left tonight and they would be happier to be able to progress. As her and her team trained, she wasn't really giving it her all, and all she was doing was practicing her kunai throwing, remembering what Itachi had told her last night.
~Flashback~
Itachi smirked. "Excellent." he said, some kind of emotion flashing through his eyes. "You do realize that by accepting this offer that you can no longer use you Hyuuga techniques other than your Byakugon anymore, and that you loyalty no longer resides in Konoha but with me and the Akatsuki." he said, watching her every move for a sign of hesitation. She didn't show one.
"I understand." she said, nodding.
~End Flashback~
As Hinata thought, her team and sensei didn't really notice her slacking off that day, Kiba and Shino were absorbed in sparring and working with their pets, while Kurenai was staring off, seeming to be lost in thought. She didn't disturb her, and went on with her kunai throwing. She hit the target each time, but she kept doing it, not knowing what else to train on. She usually only trained her gentle fist style, so she'd have to wait for Itachi to teach her. That thought was very strange sounding to her. Itachi would teach her, and she would learn from Itachi. That was so weird. She shook her head, throwing another kunai.
"Alright everyone, training is over!" Kurenai called out, standing up and dusting off her dress. Hinata gathered up her Kunai and smiled at Kiba and Shino. "Y-You did v-very w-well training today." she said, and Kiba grinned while Shino nodded.
"Gee, thanks Hinata-chan!" Kiba said, rubbing the back of his head. Hinata giggled, and then tears filled the corners of her eyes.
"Y-You both are v-very nice, and t-the best t-team I could have a-asked for.." she whispered, wiping her eyes.
"Hinata, what's wrong!" Kiba asked, his eyes full of concern. Shino took a step forward, showing his concern a bit.
"Oh, nothing. I-I have t-to go.." she said, running off in the direction of the village. She shouldn't have started to cry! That was stupid, now they have a reason to be suspicious! She cursed herself mentally, and slowed down to a walk. The whole rest of the day, she walked around the village, saying hello to everyone and being more polite and social then usual. She couldn't help it. Today was her last day here, she wanted at least some pleasant memories. She even said hi to Naruto without fainting, but she did blush extremely red. By the end of the day, Hinata felt that she was ready for her leave so as the sun started to set she ran home.
She made it to her home and went up the stairs to her room. She grabbed her bag from under the bed and a envelope from under her pillow. On it was written Father in her handwriting. She sighed, looking down at the envelope in her hands. It was a letter to her father. It didn't tell where she was going or who she was with, so she should have a safe journey without a search party finding them. That is if her father sent one. Looking around her room one last time, she remembered something. She ran to her closet and pulled out a box. She opened it, pulling out a small porcelain doll her mother gave her when she was very small. It is her most cherished possession. She slipped the doll carefully into her jutsu protected bag, and put it on, slowly and silently leaving her room.
It was dark by then, and everything was quiet. Hinata slowly and silently creped down the hallway, making it to her father's room. She peeked in, seeing him asleep in his bed. She quickly slipped in and left the envelope on the pillow beside his head. She then smiled sadly and left the room, going downstairs and slipping her sandals on. After she was sure she was ready, she ran out the door into the night to the forest. Once she made it to the village gates, she saw Itachi and a man who resembled a shark standing there, waiting.
"H-Hello.." she whispered, and Itachi nodded. She then looked over to the man with blue skin, and he grinned, showing off his pointy teeth. He really was a shark...
"I'm Kisame, nice to meet you Hinata-chan." he said, and she nodded. They turned and started to walk away, and she turned to look one last time at Konoha before turning and quickly following them. This was a new chapter in her life, one without Konoha.
