Pain was all she could feel. Pain, as her eyes struggled to open. Pain, as her body awakened around her. Pain, as her memories returned to her.
Hinata's aching body twitched underneath her as her eye lids fought to lift open. All she could see around herself was darkness, utter and complete darkness. As her eyes darted back and forth, her mind panicked and asked itself 'Am I dead?'
Then a blood red blur of appeared. Closing her eyes she prayed that it wasn't what she thought it was. 'Please, please, Jashin please don't let that be you my master.' A moment of courage took over her and she peeked her eyes open. A pair of bored lips faced her and she knew immediately that they could only be Sasori's. She was in safe hands at the moment.
"Sa-sasori…..wh-what happened?" Hinata's head turned and her puppy-like eyes stared dead at him, she already knew the answer, she just had to hear it from his lips to believe it.
Sasori's solemn eyes could only stare back at her, what was he to say? That Hidan had tortured her and attacked Deidara till he was nearly an inch away from death? That he had left her with him then ran off? Or the most shocking to of all, that for once in his life, Hidan had a heartbroken look in his normally psychotic eyes?
Sasori sighed and rubbed her head. He stared at her innocent face and thought back to the moment he first saw her.
"Sasori I have I job for you," Hidan handed him the sac. "Take care of her for me okay? Sasori opened the sac and laid his eyes on the sleeping eight year old navy haired child. "Why do I have to take care of the brat?"
'Brat, yeah she was a little brat. Timid and frighten though she was of me.' Sasori gave a slight chuckle.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He said.
The girl screamed to the top of her lungs and jumped back, hitting the rail of what she now realized was a bed. "Wha-what are you?"
The thing came closer to her and said "I, am Sasori of the Red Sand."
Sasori gave a slight smile and rubbed his thumb across her cheek. "Hinata," He spoke "Think back to the first time you met me, what did you think of me?"
Hinata looked into the wooden face of her sensei and waited for her memories to return to her.
"I thought you were a head piece of a suit of armor attached to a giant turtle." She gave a slight laugh while Sasori thought 'Armor? Turtle? What the hell?' He sighed.
"Sasori sensei, why did you ask me that?" Hinata's eyes looked at him, puzzled. Sasori sighed; it was about time she found out. Screw what Hidan had warned him about.
"One more thing, she never finds out I'm the one that took her alright?"
Hinata deserved to know the truth.
"Hinata," He pulled her chin up and whispered in her ear "There's something that you need to know."
Hidan walked around in the words alone. "Love you." Did she really mouth those words? Or was he imagining it? Even if she did she could never love him, not after confessing that to him then being knocked out with a lamp cord. It was simply implausible.
The Jashinist sighed, God had he fucked up. At this point he had nothing to lose, his heart was cracked and his dignity didn't matter much to him. He had to at least try to make amends for his mistake. Sighing, he kicked a stone that rested next to his foot and turned back to the hideout. For once in his immortal life he felt like a dog with its tail between its legs.
The room was dark and all that could be heard was the smashing of various items. Lamps, puppets, vases, desks, etc... "What are you fucken telling me Sasori? Hidan did what? That white headed son of a bitch kidnapped me! He took me from my home and brought me here! Why that ass kissing, cunt licking, son of a bitch!" She demolished another piece of furniture, her chest heaving from anger.
Sasori just sat there in the middle of the floor, dodging her airborne furniture armada. "Hinata,"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP SASORI! Not one little blue ball word! I don't want to hear it!" She turned to face him. Gripping him by his cloak, she pulled him upwards to her face, her eyes level with his. "Why in Jashin's good name did you keep this from me? Hmm? Did you just assume that I would not give a shit once I found out or that by some miracle I would just be okay with it? What the fuck Sasori?"
Sasori smirked wickedly "Do you really think that that's all there is to the story?" Hinata's eyes narrowed, Sasori gripped onto her wrists and broke them from their monstrous grip, freeing himself. "Hidan didn't just kidnap you for no good reason Hinata."
Sasori had left the terrified child alone after she finally passed out asleep on his bed. He had a few questions ne needed answered and being the impatient man he was he demanded they be answered. "Hidan, why exactly did you take the brat anyways?" Hidan looked up at him, grinning. "Because Sasori, Jashin came to me in a dream and showed me an image of that child and told me that she is to be mine. It's as plain as that." Sasori's expressionless face just stood there, processing the mad man's words.
"Now why exactly can't you 'have her' again?"
"Because, Jashin declared that I was to 'keep her tucked away from the influences of the outside world' and that 'she will be yours in due time my servant.'
"So after I wrapped that around my brain a few times I finally figured it out," Hidan ran his fingers through his hair smirking cockily, "It meant that I was to keep her away from others who might corrupt her mind and make her turn on me."
Sasori simply stared, understanding the logic the religious man uttered. "And what of the 'she will be yours in due time' part then?"
"Well I figure that meant that someone else had to watch her for me, since he did say 'she will be yours in due time." Hidan leered. "And that's where you come in my favorite little wooden man."
Sasori's eyes stared at him idiotically. "Hidan, what is the logic in that?"
Hidan snarled "Oh shut up Pinocchio dick, don't try to make sense of my god's logic." 'So it's god's logic now huh? Wasn't it just your logic?' Sasori thought, beginning to regret even asking the sliver haired man his questions.
Hinata stared at her sensei with confused and cautious eyes. "So….this was all Jashin's plan…" She closed her eyes, this was hard to believe. Her God had planned for her to be taken from her home and given this life? He had practically told Hidan to brainwash her. Hinata clinched her fist and scowled. 'I willingly took that beating from that son of a bitch Hidan because I fully believed that I was supposed to walk the path that god had planned for me but….' Hinata shook her head, her thoughts racing around her head.
'No god of mine would do something so stupid and idiotic. I was a born Buddhist before that grey headed freak stole me. Now look at me, a mere shadow of the girl I was probably supposed to be. What have that demon and his servant stolen from me? A family? Friends? A real fate?'
Hinata's eyes began to leak a few tears as she struggled for control over herself. 'This cannot be true….my whole life was ruled by what a demon had ordered? This simply cannot be the case….it's just not possible….but…the evidence doesn't lie. Hidan kidnapped me and brought me here to be 'His' according to Sasori sensei. Hidan and Jashin have controlled my whole life since the moment they kidnapped me…they made me their slave by taking my free will from me and all without me knowing it. Tch, Jashin was obviously the brains of that operation…..' Hinata looked up to the ceiling and whispered "Jashin as my witness, I will make you and your servant pay."
Hidan had looked all over for Hinata but found her nowhere. Every single room in the hideout was bare of Hinata's presence.
Hidan eventually gave up and sighed, returning to his room. 'She must have gone out on a mission with Sasori, probably trying to avoid me.' He turned the doorknob and entered his dark room; shutting his eyes he closed the door, the room returning to complete darkness.
"You shall be the first to pay…"
A whisper echoed down the touch light hallways as Hinata crept slowly down them. "You will not get away for ruining my life…."
As she slinked out from that shadows, nothing could been seen but the wicked grin on her face.
Hidan plopped down in his bed. Placing his hands behind his head he groaned. 'If I'm ever going to get myself out of this shit I'm probably going to have to tell her the truth.' Looking up at his ceiling he mumbled "This is not like hunting a sacrifice, Jashin, I have no idea what I am doing. Ripping her throat out will not make the world go round. Please Jashin, if I am worthy, then give me a hand with this."
Hinata reached for Hidan's door when she felt a cold chill run through her veins. Her spine trembled and every piece of hair on her body stood up within seconds. Then her vision blurred and her depth perception failed her. Subsequently her legs disappointed her as well and crashed down to the floor. Looking up at Hidan's door, an eerie feeling took over her and her vision went dark.
The smell of blood tickled her nose and awoke her senses, bring her back to consciousness.
"You truly are a weakling aren't you? How dare you bad mouth me you little runt from a bitches litter."
Hinata looked around but saw nothing; the hideout hallway was empty except for herself. Yet the smell of unidentified blood still remained.
"Get up! Your God demands it!"
Her eyes froze and her spirit went cold. 'Could it really be…Jashin?' "About time you recognized me girl now get up." Hinata stood and snarled 'Where are you?' "Ha! I am neither here nor there." She cringed and balled up her fist, aggravated by this so called Jashin's riddle like response. 'Well if you are who you say then why on fucking Earth did you tell that psychotic follower of yours to kidnap me?'
The God laughed, his breath coated in blood. "That is not for you to know." Hinata growled.
"But," The God spoke "Don't you want to get even with him for beating you the way he did?" She grinned at those words then shook her head and barked back at the God "Why should I? For it was you who told him to do that to me, am I wrong?"
Jashin laughed at her once more, she felt her body quake with each chuckled that escaped the wicked God's mouth. "No, I never ordered that from my servant. I merely told him that you were a worthy gift for him."
"A mother fucking worthy gift? How dare you! You and your little bitch stole my whole future and past from me!" "SILENCE!" Jashin commanded. "I did not steal from you my servant, I gave you an opportunity."
"Ha! What kind of an opportunity do you lie of my, oh so deceiving ex God?"
"Hmp, by kidnapping you, you would be given the most extreme and crucial training. I granted you the gift of strength and power. Don't you see? If you were still in that worthless village you came from then you would have never became as strong as you are now. Or as feared."
Hinata was silent as she thought back to her pre-Akatsuki life. It had been over eight years since she last thought of her old life but very slowly her mind found the key to the locks of her past.
Hinata shuttered as she remembered her father beginning to shun her and train her cousin Neji far more than her. She remembered the harsh words some of the other Hyuuga's spoke about her. And, she remembered the day she last saw her family. Neji had asked her to go for a walk with him; he told her he has something important to tell her. Through the each step of the quiet walk he carried a grim and distasteful look on his face, a look that said 'I hate your fucking guts'.
'Holy shit…..' She thought 'Jashin…you're actually right…' She looked down to her feet and scowled. "So…it really is only Hidan that has harmed me…"
Jashin's voice gave a low laugh and said "Then take your revenge my servant. Kill him, if you dare."
Hinata took on the look of a mad man and, facing the ceiling, she shrieked "Oh, I dare."
