Experimenting Flowers

Chapter 2: A Dream

"Boy, it was G-O-O-D," the fox boy beside Hinata burped as he finished his third bowl of ramen. Hinata blushed as the satisfied boy turned to Hinata and said as he patted his stomach, "Why aren't you eating Hinata? Ichiraku's the best in Konoha!"

Hinata shyly picked up her chopsticks, eating demurely. She was used to eating demurely, they taught to eat like that in the Hyuuga household. Naruto, the veteran ramen eater, did not like this. "Hey, you have to eat ramen really fast. That's how you enjoy and appreciate ramen, SLURP everything up," Naruto spoke, a little too impatiently.

Hinata lowered her head. She will never do anything like this, especially in front of Naruto! Naruto glanced at Hinata, slightly annoyed. "Let me show you how," he said as he held the hand Hinata was using to grasp her chopsticks.

Hinata gasped and she turned to face the Kyuubi boy. Her face was as red as a tomato, and she realized that she was very very close to the boy of her dreams. His sparkling blue eyes were smiling at her and his plump red lips looked inviting. Her heart skipped a beat and butterflies started flying at the speed of light in her stomach. The Kyuubi boy realized this as well. He was an ordinary boy with hormones and all, despite the Kyuubi inside him.

Naruto leaned closer to Hinata until their faces were approximately one centimeter apart. Everything around them did not matter anymore. It was just the two of them. Hinata could not hear anything except for her heartbeats, increasing speed every second. Naruto edged closer and pressed his lips onto Hinata's small ones. Finally! Naruto finally noticed her! He tasted faintly of miso (from his ramen), salty and a little tangy. Naruto deepened the kiss, pushing Hinata's face close to his face.

That was when Hinata felt pain in her arm. Its intensity increased by each second. Something on her arm, jabbing her. Pain shot through her whole body. Hinata blinked. Naruto was gone. Ichiraku was gone. Hinata screamed in pain and looked down to her arm instinctively. A man with grey hair and glasses was poking a needle into her. There was red liquid in the syringe. Her blood. She shivered as she saw it. She hated blood. The red, disgusting and sticky fluid scared her. She struggled as the pain coursed through her veins. Then, she realized she was pinned to a bed, unable to move. That man merely smirked.

"Don't struggle. It'll be more painful," he remarked.

The pain left her as the man took the needle out from her arm. She surveyed her surroundings. It was dark and she could barely see the walls of the place. There was a constant dripping sound. She knew who the man was. Kabuto! She met him before the Chuunin examinations! He showed the rookies his information cards.

"Kabuto-san. Where am I? Why am I here? Why are you taking my blood?" Hinata enquired, her voice shaking a little.

"Hinata-chan. I am working for Orochimaru-sama and I took you for my experiments," Kabuto answered simply.

"Are you joking? You are a Konoha ninja! I saw you at the Chuunin exams. Is this a oke or something?" Hinata laughed nervously. She refused to believe Kabuto's words.

Kabuto sighed and showed her his Village of Sound headband. Hinata cringed at the sight.

Kabuto narrowed his eyes, his glasses glinting in the dark. "You were an easy catch, you know," Kabuto mocked. Hinata curled her fists into a tight ball. Damn. She was weak. Her knuckles turned white as rage consumed part of her. She had trained so hard and Kabuto called her a weakling.

"Don't get pissed off so easily. Now we shall go visit Sasuke and introduce him to the person whose genes will be in his DNA," Kabuto said in mock cheeriness. He lowered his voice and whispered close to Hinata's ear, "If you dare struggle anymore or disobey me, I'll kill you."

Hinata trembled slightly at his threat but she kept her face straight, determined not to let him see her faltering. She would not show any sign of weakness to that man. Kabuto laughed at her weak attempt to hide her emotions as he released the clasps holding her down to the stone bed.

"Come with me," Kabuto ordered as he held on to Hinata's arm. His grasp was too firm, his hands cold. There was not any shred of warmth or comfort in his arms. Hinata was scared. Will he kill her after the experiments? Uchiha Sasuke… The boy Naruto was looking for… She will be meeting him. Hinata followed as Kabuto took quick steps. Hinata looked around her. The dark hallways screamed a horrible fate awaiting her. She stared at the white ominous candles as Kabuto pulled her along.

Kabuto finally stopped at a door and he opened it, careful not to make a sound. Sasuke was in the room, cleaning his kunais with a dirty cloth, which was once white.

Kabuto pushed Hinata forward and said, "Sasuke, let me introduce you to Hinata-chan."

"Somebody, please save me from this hell," Hinata thought in her mind as raven-haired boy turned his head to face her, with his sharingan activated.
