Hello again! Sorry my first chappie was so short! The next will belonger! By the way, I don't own Naruto! So, enjoy!
The night when Hyuuga Hinata, heiress to the Hyuuga clan disappeared, the fifth Hokage of Konoha issued a search party. All of her friends were greatly stricken by her loss.
" Isn't weird Tsunade-sama? Why would anyone want to kidnap Hinata? " Shizune asked in confusion.
" Money probably. Those people aren't fit to be called humans, Shizune. They're monsters! " Tsunade exclaimed angrily, slamming her fist down onto her desk.
Shizune flinched.
" And how is the Hyuuga clan coping with this? " Tsunade snapped.
" They... " Shizune's voice trailed off.
" They? "
" Hinata's mother is crying, Hyuuga Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister locked herself in her Hinata's room and hasn't come out. Lord...Lord Hiashi doesn't seem to be particularly worried though... "
BANG!!!
There goes another desk...Shizune sighed inwardly, as she watched the desk fly out of the broken window.
" That man! I tell you he's totally unforgivable! I mean, Hinata's his daughter!! I can't believe- " Tsunade was suddenly cut short by a knock on the door.
" Enter! " she shouted.
In came a few preteens.
" Naruto? Sakura? Sasuke? What are all the Teams doing here? " Tsunade asked, rather irritated.
" Tsunade-sama, I-we didn't mean to interrupt but- " Kiba started.
" We know that you've already organized search parties but we want to help too!! " Naruto exclaimed.
" Hinata has been very kind to us and- " Tsunade stopped Sakura.
Tsunade turned her back on them. " Go then. " was all she said.
They gasped and cheered. Then, the group rushed out of the room.
" Tsunade-sama, are you sure? " Shizune asked.
" At least she has friends she can count on Shizune. " Tsunade said gently, a soft smile gracing her features.
Shizune nodded.
The search went on for three weeks. When it was finally over, Tsunade reluctantly announced Hinata was dead.
Meanwhile...
Hinata sat inside the room that the Akatsuki gave her, very much alive. She sighed. She wondered how her family was doing and how her friends were. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was Konan.
" How are you doing? " Konan asked.
" F-fine. T-thank you. Konan-s-sama. " Hinata stuttered.
Hinata was always awed by the older woman's beauty. The violet hair, those deep emerald eyes and that flower in her hair...It looked so real. Konan caught her staring.
" Do you like it? " Konan pointed to her flower. " It's made out of paper. " she smiled.
" Paper? But it looks so beautiful... " Hinata's gasped.
" Do you want to learn how to make it? "
" Really?! " Hinata asked, her eyes shining. " But why are you being so nice to me? " she frowned.
" Am I? "
" Yes, you gave me these clothes to wear. " Hinata pointed to her black fishnet shirt, black pants and not to mention the black high heels. Everything was black. " You cook for me and you always come in here to talk to me. "
" Well, consider it an act of kindness then. Trust me. I know what it feels like to be alone. You don't want to learn it the hard way... " Konan sighed.
" Oh... "
" Your training with the Akatsuki is going to start tomorrow anyways! So you better get ready! I'll teach you how to do origami tomorrow evening. " Konan said cheerfully.
" Ok. Wait, training?! And what's origami? " Hinata asked in surprise.
" Origami is the art of paper folding, like how I did this flower. And yes. You haven't forgotten what Pein said to you right? "
Hinata shook her head. Konan opened the door.
" By the way, did you notice that you stammer less now? "
Hinata's eyes widened. She turned to the door but Konan was already gone...
" Arigatou, Konan-sama. " she whispered into the night.
The next day...
Hinata woke up as the sun started to rise. Hanabi...everyone...I hope you're okay...she thought sadly.
" Hinata, your training begins with Sasori. " Konan greeted her as she walked into the main hall where a giant statue with two hands resided.
" H-hai, Konan-sama. "
A red-haired man, who looked very much like a teenager walked towards her.
" My name is Sasori. Pleased to meet you Hinata. I'm going to teach you how to make puppets and control them. However, if you try and run away I will not hesitate to kill you. Do you understand? " Sasori said.
" H-hai, S-sasori-sama. "
" Hinata-chan...I can't believe that you're really gone...I thank you for your kindness... " a blond-haired boy said softly, his blue eyes held a clear sadness in them.
" Naruto... " Sakura whispered, obviously feeling sorry for her team mate.
" Leave him Sakura. " a raven-haired boy told her.
" But Sasuke-kun, is it really alright? "
" Right now there is nothing we can do. " came the simple reply.
Sakura reluctantly nodded but continued to watch her friend as he sat down near the gravestone.
" ...so you have to have precise chakra control at all times to create chakra strings which controls the puppet which can be used to kill. " explained Sasori.
Hinata nodded, her mind swirling with information and techniques.
" Okay then, let's start by making a puppet. "
Sasori placed wooden body parts in front of her.
" Try fixing this first, once you can successfully do that, I will teach you how to carve the wood. "
" Hai, Sasori-sama. " Hinata said happily.
Sasori relaxed. Who knew teaching would be so stressful? When he opened his eyes again, he frowned and peered closer at the puppet.
" Uh...Hinata? You screwed the arm the other way round... " Sasori sweatdropped.
" Oh! G-gomen, Sasori-sama. " Hinata blushed.
Sasori smiled as Hinata laughed at her own mistake. This might not be so bad after all...he thought.
Arigatou means thank you! Thank you for reading! Hope you liked it! The reason why they need Hinata will be revealed in the next chapter so stay tuned! Bye!
