No Shame
By Gaarazlilmiss
Hi Everyone, I forgot one tiny little thing last chapter…
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN NARUTO…Kishimoto owns Naruto, and I'm so glad he created it.
Anyway, I'm glad you guys reviewed. Thank you, to the two people that reviewed:
1. Cool Story-Thank you so much for reviewing, and I have something planned for Naruto, he hasn't been forgotten. There really weren't many TobiHina fics, and so I decided to create one because, I mean, such a great pairing shouldn't be ignored! Naruto isn't in this chapter, but he will be in the next one.
2. OttPop-Tobi is dreamy isn't he? Silly, cute, wonderful…someone like him would be great to have around!
Again, thank you. Hopefully, I'll get more reviews next time. Just because there were only two though, that won't stop me from updating. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
CHAPTER 2: Red eyed monster
Hinata walked with the two monsters reluctantly. Where they were leading her to, she was not sure. She would have fled, and if not, she'd put up a fight if it weren't for the cuffs on her hands, and not just any cuffs, pointy, vine like cuffs that sucked all the chakra out of her, and even though she grew fatigued, she didn't die out. Zetsu put the cuffs on her shortly after she'd agreed to follow, just for assurance, he had said. Tobi actually felt sorry for the poor girl. She looked so tired and drained, he thought she'd fall over at any second. Zetsu didn't slow down. He lead them relentlessly, and Tobi knew Hinata needed a rest.
"Zetsu-san, Tobi thinks Hime-chan needs a rest." he pointed out.
Zetsu raised an eyebrow at Tobi's remark, "Hime-chan?" he asked questioningly without turning around.
Tobi shook his head. "Yes. Tobi thinks that Hime-chan needs a nice name. Hyuuga sounds too…too…" he tried to think of the right words.
Zetsu rolled his eyes. "Whatever." he said.
Hinata looked at the man in front of her, and she let a small grin play on her face. She was thankful at least one of them made an effort, but that didn't stop her fear.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
After another grueling thirty minutes, Zetsu finally stopped the two.
Hinata immediately took that moment to rest. She plopped down on the ground against a tree, and wiped sweat off her brow. "Y-you know…somewhere there's a village that needs me." she explained.
Zetsu didn't look at her. "Look at it as a burden being lifted from your shoulders." he said simply.
Hinata looked around for the goofy orange-faced guy. Where'd he go so fast?
"Tobi went to get food for you both." Zetsu explained as if reading her mind.
"W-what about you?" Hinata asked. She wondered why she sounded so concerned for her freakish captor, sounded being the key word. She wasn't sure if she was or not…
"I don't like what he's bringing." he said simply.
"Then…what IS he bringing?" Hinata asked.
"Fruit." Zetsu said before walking off…somewhere. Hinata wasn't sure exactly, but it couldn't be too far away. He'd have to keep watch over her.
Hinata brought her numb legs up and held them around her knees.
'I could escape.'
She thought.
She activated her Byakugan and scanned around. Zetsu's chakra was very far away, and Tobi couldn't be sensed. Why were they being so trusting?
Hinata stood up. She increased the strength of the Byakugan searching for Tobi's chakra. Finally finding it, she concluded that Tobi was far west, and Zetsu was far south. She could go east, and travel back south once she was an adequate distance away. She jumped off, speedily rushing East, and missing trees by mere inches as she fled by.
Her Byakugan on strong, she realized that the chakra of Zetsu and Tobi flared up as they pursued after her. Tobi was far away, so it seemed that he hadn't as much of a chance in catching up, but Zetsu…for a guy that seemed to be weighed down by those lettuce strips of his, he sure was moving fast!
Hinata gasped as she sped up, but his green chakra trailed behind her like a tidal wave. The yellowish chakra Tobi was emitting was closer, but still a ways away.
Suddenly, when it neared her and could probably reach out and touch her, it disappeared. Hinata took no chances. She jumped away until she felt it safe to stop and panted, placing her hands on her knees. Then, when she least expected it, what felt like spines, needles maybe, stabbed into her, as thick vines engulfed her body in tangles of them, holding her up to where she meant the amber eyes of Zetsu, a rather knowing Zetsu. "I knew you'd try to escape. This was a test." he said.
He came close. "Does this hurt? Surely, you don't want to die before you reach our destination." he said with an evil smirk.
We do tend to get rather hungry…
His alternate ego explained.
Hinata was wincing as blood began to pour from her body. How it hurt.
Tobi appeared behind Zetsu as he released the pointy vines engulfing Hinata.
She slumped to the ground, wincing and trying to sooth the wounds.
Tobi gasped. "Hime-chan!" he said running over to her and helping her sit up fully. "Zetsu-san! What happened? Tobi sensed Hime-chan running from something fast, so Tobi came as fast as he could." he said.
"She was trying to ESCAPE Tobi." came Zetsu's uncaring reply. "Try it again, and you won't like the consequences one bit." said Zetsu as he yanked her up by the arm. "Tobi, escort "Hime-chan" to the river and help her with her wounds. I will come in ten minutes, by then, we are leaving." he said.
Tobi mimicked a salute and then looked down at Hinata. He didn't speak until he knew Zetsu was a good distance away.
"Okay, look. Let's go to the river, and I don't want to spend to much time there. Zetsu is way too much of a pain to keep waiting." he said in a much different voice.
"W-what happened t-to your voice?" she asked.
Tobi sighed. "Gimmick. Did you actually think I spoke that way all the time?" he asked. His voice was much more masculine, unlike the shrill kid like voice he used when she first meant him. Hinata actually quite…liked it.
Without warning, he scooped Hinata up off her knees and was holding her bridal style. He started hopping off towards the river that he was close to before.
"Be careful, alright. Don't make Zetsu so mad." he said. "He's eats people you know, so I wouldn't get on his bad side." said Tobi.
Hinata's eyes widened. "He eats….p-people?" she asked.
"Yeah. That's what he went out to do. He's at least courteous enough not to do that in front of people like you and me. Still, a complete psycho." he said shaking his head in annoyance, or what it seemed like anyway.
Hinata was looking up at him. From the black material around his face, Hinata could make out that he had a nicely chiseled face. She wondered what it looked like with his mask off.
Tobi glanced down and then did a double take. "Something on my face?" he asked, slightly amused to find her staring so intently.
Hinata grinned and turned away as she blushed. "N-no…I was just…curious…" she said. "Why do you wear a mask?" she asked. After she asked, she found herself actually sounding quite rude.
Tobi let out a deep chuckle. "Can you guess?" he asked.
Hinata looked at him. "No…" she said.
"Well, I guess you'll have a lot of time to find out." said Tobi.
A bit later, the two arrived at the river. "Go clean off. I won't watch." he said as he sat on the other side of a tree. "But if you start drowning, of course I'll have to come in and get you." he said jokingly.
Hinata shook her head. She made sure he wasn't looking before stripping off the punctured clothing and dipping into the water. Her body ached as she dipped into it, but that couldn't be helped. She made a face. The water was cold, but it was clear. Looking in, river rocks, and little fish were the only things visible. Nothing else. Gently, she ran the water down her legs, arms, and soon she sat down, rinsing the blood off her stomach.
"The cold water should stop the bleeding." Tobi said from behind the tree.
"I see." Hinata said as she watched the bleeding gradually stop. "I could have told you that though. I'm a medic nin." she said.
"That might be why we had to come and get you." Tobi explained.
"Wait…you're not sure why you had to come and get me?" Hinata said sitting up in the water.
"No. They don't tell me anything." he said.
Hinata wondered why.
"It shouldn't be anything bad. If we were ordered to keep you alive this long, then you must be of some use to our leader." Tobi answered.
Hinata stood up. She didn't know how she was going to dry herself off, so she let the water dry off naturally, which didn't take long at all, a minute at most. She slid on the now tattered pants and was headed for the shirt .
Tobi thought she was done when he didn't hear much more rustling and stepped out to see a bare backed Hinata. As she was lifting the shirt over her head, Tobi could see a desirable amount of her breasts even though she wasn't facing him, and he didn't catch himself staring until Hinata turned around after pulling the shirt back over her head. Tobi thought, aside from all the small punctures, Hinata looked nice. Her waist was thin and her hair wasn't too long or too short. It was a bit past her shoulders, and that was good enough.
Hinata stared back at him. "Are you o-okay?" she asked. She was a bit nervous. Why was he staring???
Tobi stopped staring. "Yes. Zetsu will be here soon." he said. "Don't tell him anything." Tobi said.
"What do you mean?" Hinata asked.
"This, the way I'm speaking to you now is between you and me only." he said.
"Why would you use this voice with me?" she asked.
Tobi didn't answer this. He thought the reason might be because she seemed like she deserved the real him after all that she was getting ready to go through. He didn't know for sure, but he knew one thing, and that was that she'd be there with them for awhile. At least one person had to be genuine. Tobi figured why not him? Despite the fact that he played an actor most of his life with Akatsuki, Tobi still had one quality that didn't change, and that was that he did actually care for certain people. He didn't want someone as pure an innocent as Hinata, to come out gruff and evil, like the only other female Akatsuki, Konan. He didn't know why he felt that way, maybe it was just the fact that he knew at some point she'd wind up hurt. There were many reasons, and although he couldn't name them, he came to the conclusion to be real. That was the least he could do for the doomed girl.
Tobi and Hinata talked for awhile, occasionally becoming silent when awkward moments arose when they couldn't think of anything to say to each other until Zetsu appeared as he said he would, maybe a bit late. "I hope you fixed her up, Tobi." he said.
"Zetsu-san, Hime-chan is much better. See?" Tobi said reverting back to his old self.
Hinata looked strangely confused even though he warned her that he'd be returning back to normal.
Zetsu made no comment.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
That night, Hinata, Tobi, and Zetsu were within a days reach of their destination. Long since, Tobi had explained to Hinata that they were headed towards the base, and Zetsu made no comments. The only words he'd speak were the ones when he needed to give them a commandment. Hinata was frankly sick of him being so pushy. He'd been pushing them all day. Why did they need her so badly, or was he just a jerk and didn't care that two other people were with him? Tobi seemed use to it, but Hinata was definitely having trouble. When he finally cracked down and allowed them to rest, Hinata was grateful, but upset with him for the simple fact that they didn't even have to travel so hard.
Zetsu jumped off in some trees and rested somewhere a little farther off than Hinata and Tobi.
"Tobi…" Hinata asked.
"Yes Hime-chan?" he asked.
Hinata wondered why he didn't speak like he did earlier that day. Maybe Zetsu was still too near or something. Only Tobi knew.
"…Nothing…" Hinata replied quietly.
"Go ahead and speak you mind Hime-chan." Tobi said, cocking his head to the side curiously.
"No really, it's nothing." she said, curling up and going to sleep. Her body was still sore from earlier. She definitely needed the rest.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Later on, Hinata woke up. She found that there was something draped over her, keeping her very warm and cozy despite the rough grass underneath her. She sat up slightly and saw that there was a black Akatsuki cloak over her. The scent in it was intoxicating. It smelt like cinnamon and tea. She wondered whose it was until she glanced over and saw Tobi sleeping without his cloak. He didn't look affected by the cold spring morning, or the wet dewy grass. Hinata heard voices, and immediately faked sleeping. She closed her eyes, but for a second, she activated her Byakugan. She looked over and saw two strong chakra levels moving her way. Making it stronger, she saw that one was Zetsu, and the other…was someone she didn't expect to see here at all, not yet, anyway.
Hinata deactivated her Byakugan and just listened as the voices grew closer.
"Is she actually a good deal?" asked one of them.
"I'm not sure about her strength. She couldn't get out of my jutsu earlier." said Zetsu.
A short chuckle was heard. "Really now…?" he said. "She must be weak. But it won't be so hard then, would it?" asked the other man.
"I'm thinking not, but we shouldn't judge her too quickly." Zetsu said. The footsteps stopped right in front of her.
"You'd think she would hear us by now, if she was any sort of Kunoichi." said the other man, nudging her slightly.
Zetsu sighed. "She's sleeping like any other person. No ninja skills whatsoever. And she's suppose to be a part of the Hyuuga family?" he asked, slight disappointment could be heard in his voice.
The other man bent down and stroked her cheek with a raw, untrue affection. "She's so soft. I wonder…" the voice said. Hinata could feel the chakra of the man's hand traveling south on her body, violating her in her sleep.
Just as she was about to jump up and attack, the hand stopped. "No matter if her powers aren't all that impressive, she will serve well. She's young, is she not? And being a Hyuuga, I'm sure she has had no experience." the voice said. "On top of that, she may not be powerful, that is if you've seen her powers, but if she isn't, she still knows the ways of the Hyuuga." the man said.
"Itachi, you will be the best one for the job. She will try to run once she finds out her true purpose, but she won't escape." said Zetsu.
Hinata was frightened. What was he saying? She was scared. What did he mean?
Itachi stood up from his crouching position. "Anyway, we'll be expecting you back at the base soon. Don't be too late." he said.
"I've been trying to go as fast as I can, but she insist upon resting, and Tobi's a pain in the neck not letting me go any faster. She gets tired to easily. That's another weakness we'll need to fix." said Zetsu.
"She will be trained when she gets there." said Itachi.
"I assume Pein-sama expects you to be first…" Zetsu asked.
Itachi smirked. "Yes. I am first. This will be a long process, but after it's done, I'm sure we'll be rewarded well." Itachi said. He jumped off suddenly, and Hinata heard nothing else of him.
Zetsu crouched down and whispered in her ear. "If you think of escaping, Hime, you will be hurt in ways you wouldn't even think of. DON'T try anything." he said before standing up and walking off.
Hianta wasn't sure if he knew she was awake or not, but whatever his reasons for whispering those words in her ear, she didn't care. She knew she was in danger, and she didn't know how to get out.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Hinata didn't really sleep the night before. She drifted off a couple of times, but most of the time, she was awake and alert. She was frightened out of her wits. It was 5 o' clock in the morning when she was awaken by Tobi.
"Rise and shine Hime-chan!" he said.
Hinata looked at him with a bit of a grumpy look on her face. Despite the danger she knew she was in, she was quite irritated to be woken up so early.
"Get up already. We don't have much time." Zetsu said impatiently.
You slow us down…do as we say and get up.
The alter ego growled.
Hinata sat up. "Fine." she said. She combed her hair back with her fingers and stood up. She looked a mess! As she looked down at herself, her clothes were blotched with blood, and her eyes were a bit dark from not sleeping properly last night.
Zetsu noticed this. "Rough night, Hinata?" he asked. He looked at her, a bit of hidden, well hidden, amusement beneath his words.
"I'm fine. Not that you'd care. " she said.
"Tch." Zetsu said and stood up. "Not a morning person I see." he said. "Well too bad. We have a deadline to make." he said. "Tobi, do you have that water?" he asked.
Tobi nodded fast. "Yep!" he said. "Tobi thinks Hime-chan should drink a bit of water at least before we go." he said.
Hinata looked at the small jug filled with water that Tobi had offered her. Was it a dream when he spoke so…normal? Hinata began to wonder that. She took the jug reluctantly, and sipped it slowly. She'd downed about half of the bottle by the time she was through.
Tobi looked at the jug, surprised so much of it was gone already.
Zetsu started walking, leading the two behind him.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Later on, much later, Zetsu, Tobi, and Hinata finally arrived at what looked like nothing.
"This was our destination?" Hinata asked, a bit disappointed.
"Is there a problem?" Zetsu asked.
"N-no…" Hinata said.
Tobi smiled. "Just watch Hime-chan!" he chimed.
Zetsu formed some hand signs and finally did one that was peculiar and difficult to mold. "Revealing Jutsu!" he said. The earth began to move, revealing a staircase of stairs leading further underground. The pathway was dark, and uninviting. Hinata could either A. Flee and get killed, or B. Follow them into God knows where and risk getting killed or something else equivalent to that torture. She decided to follow them, after all, there might be a chance she would survive whatever it was. She stood where she was, allowing Zetsu to enter first, followed by Tobi.
When Tobi realized that Hinata hadn't budged, he grasped Hinata's hand, and helped her along. "Don't be so frightened, Hime-chan." said Tobi.
Hinata grinned slightly. Tobi sure did know how to make someone feel a bit more confident in strange situations.
After entering winding chambers and going into numerous different underground passages that Zetsu had to use a revealing justsu on each time, they finally arrived back above ground at what seemed like the same place they entered.
Hinata looked VERY confused. "W-what just happened??" she asked.
"Just keep quiet." Zetsu said. "Ka!" Zetsu said. It seemed the reality that they were in faded into nothing as it dispelled and Hinata could see what appeared to be a long corridor of some sort. "Genjutsu…" she mumbled quietly.
"Yes." she said. "We're Akatsuki. Do you think we don't know what we're doing?" Zetsu asked.
Hinata said nothing as she was led down the corridor and into the largest room at the end. When they entered, Hinata could have fainted. There stood all the Akatsuki members. Some of them wore smirks, some of them just looked. Out front was the leader.
"Pein-sama…Hinata Hyuuga." Zetsu said.
Pein examined Hinata, and it took him quite some time before he spoke. "Well then, welcome to the Akatsuki Hyuuga-sama." he said, no emotion on his face whatsoever.
Hinata's eyes were widened, and she looked around at each one. Frightening in their own way, each of them, and why did they need her again?
She looked over at Tobi, and he was just looking ahead at the leader, same with Zetsu. Why had they chosen her?
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Well, this is the end of this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it, and I'll put the next chapter out as soon as I can. Please tell me if there are any mistakes in my chapter, I'd be happy to fix them if there are. Chapter 3 should be out sometime next week. I still have to update "Trials" and "Beyond Onyx eyes" so it might be about Wednesday or Thursday, but don't be surprised if it's later. Ja ne!
