I don't own Naruto or the song for the title… Please don't kill me…

Something I forgot to mention last chapter is that the characters are MAJORLY OOC!!! If you don't like OOCness … I'M SOOOO SORRY!!!… That's just how I write…

Rings On Her Fingers

She awoke with the sun shining through a window about the size of her head. When the window got there, she did not know. She blinked and let her vision clear.

Hinata was propped up against the wall of the now clean kitchen. She was wrapped in a jacket like the men had. She tried to get out of it, but she had no clue how.

"Hm." Itachi appeared without his jacket. "Don't scare Deidara like that again."

"Wh-What?…"

"You fell over just as Dei came in and he thought I killed you." Itachi kneeled next to her and undid the jacket.

About this time, Hinata noticed that the blond freak was cooking. "Is… that D-Deidara?…" She questioned shyly.

"…Yes…" Itachi helped Hinata up and grabbed his jacket. "Leader-sama says that you may wander the halls until nightfall to familiarize yourself with the grounds."

After he said that, he left. Hinata looked into the halls, but he was gone. She began to wander.

Around noon, Hinata was lost. This place was all twists and turns! It was making her head hurt. So she sat down against the wall.

Frankly, she did not notice when a masked boy sat next to her. However, she DID notice when he hugged her.

"MEEP!!!" Hinata nearly jumped out of her skin!

"…" As the boy let go he hung his head. "You looked like you needed a hug…"

Hinata scooted away. She was scared half to death. What's wrong with these people?!

"Do you not like it here?" The boy sounded sad. Hinata realized that he had meant no harm and was trying to make her feel welcome.

"…Why… would I…"

"I'm sorry you feel that way. Are you tired? Or hungry?"

"No… I… lost my appetite…" Hinata said with her eyes downcast.

"Oh… What's your name?"

"…Hinata…"

"Mine's Tobi."

"Tobi? That has to be the most normal name in this place…" She smiled.

Tobi was probably smiling as well, but we can't be sure. ---

Hinata suddenly yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily. Tobi grabbed her hand and led her quickly to a room with a soft bed. The last thing she remembered was Tobi leaving the room and the sheets were pleasant lavender to match her eyes.
