No Shame

I'm baaack!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, duh…
Again, thanking you all who reviewed!
1. Mint truffles-You want moar…here you go! I'm not exactly sure what I want Hinata to do about that right now, but when we get to that point, we'll see
2. Winter Kaguya- Hello! Tobi is the innocence in Akatsuki, I mean, there had to be some comedy in the Akatsuki, right? Sakura is a complete and utter loser-head in some stories, and what better person to pick to be the thief but her? Naruto's brain capacity has been that of a rock for years, and years, and I'm not sure if it'll ever change…Thanks for your great review and here is the update!
3. Dark-emo-gal-Yeah, Sakura is gonna be that way in this story. So inconsiderate, selfish, and we all know why she's REALLY with Naruto…I hope…And you are right about the last part. Sadly, the Akatsuki has formed some sad experiment on Pein's commands to bring the Byakugan into Akatsuki. Why? That shall be reviled soon. Why they picked such a lengthy experiment…because from what I see, pein is patient. Look at the organization already. It'll be in more detail later, and please stay with me on the story! I'm happy you've reviewed with consistency .
4. Demon scream-Hinata would NEVA let someone take advantage of her like that, so she'll get out of it somehow, whether it be Itachi paralyzed for life, or what. Sakura and Naruto definitely won't get away with it, and they'll get their just rewards. Tobi…he's a savior. Without him, our poor Hinata would probably go insane! Thanks for reviewing!
5. 1moonwitch-Thanks a bunch, and don't worry, you can call Sakura WHATEVER you want in this story. I mean, she's suppose to be one of the bad guys in this story, one of the ones who makes Hinata's journey through this story a living hell. Feel free to bash her! Yeah, I agree that that would be scary…Kisame and Hinata…what kind of strange kids would…ANYWAY, it WON'T happen. I'll be the judge of that one Tobi is our hero! And Itachi may be cute ((No one can deny)) but he's definitely not gonna get Hinata like THAT. I'm happy you've decided to read it as it comes along, and I'd be happy to co-author anytime you'd like. Just say the word
6. ShadowOwl-Thank you so very much! I'm glad you don't mind, because she isn't done yet! Such a loser…but she'll be out of the picture for awhile as we focus more on Hinata/Tobi stuff! As for revealing clothing, who knows?? I'm not sure yet, but she might…and there would only be one reason why of course. Here is the next chapter, enjoy your read!
7.He-Yan-Hanabi??? See that's when Hinata's stupid family would send the entire Konoha army on them. Lol. If they took Hanabi, She'd be getting death threats everyday, and maybe even the real thing. She'd try to kick their butts! Thanks and here is your chapter!
8.HidenHobo- Glad you think like me! This pairing is just to good to ignore. Here you go
Thanks for all the reviews for the millionth time. I honestly love getting them ! I enjoy writing when I know there are people interested in my stories. We'll return to Ebara and Shoku, Sakura and Naruto in chapter 5, but this one is TobiHina and the rest of the Akatsuki all the way! I couldn't stay away for too long, so here is chapter four.
CHAPTER 4: Cold as Ice
Alright. So the food wasn't excellent…good…okay….Who was she kidding!? The food was terrible! Who cooked this!? The food had been given to her personally by Zetsu. She sure hoped he wasn't the one who made it, although she highly doubted it. It was suppose to be soup, but it just looked so…gross. It was still bubbling and it was all thick and just…eck. She took it and sat it on the nightstand beside her and covered it with a paper towel. If this was how she was going to have to live, she'd be eating the paper off her walls soon.
"Hyuuga." someone said from the doorway.
Hinata, startled, jumped a tad as she observed the body in the doorway. Itachi was standing there. Could someone else please come to rescue her?
He smirked ever so slightly. "Don't be so surprised. You might get more visits than this soon." he explained.
He stepped in and glanced at her untouched food, then looked up at her.
"You don't honestly e-expect me to eat that, do you?" she asked.
Itachi shook his head as he walked over and removed the paper towel. Observing Deidara's handy work, he covered it again. "Follow me." he said.
Hinata's eyes widened.
Oh no…what does he want? Should I just stay put and hope he changes his mind?
She thought franticly.
Itachi turned around as he noticed she wasn't following. "Well, do you want something else to eat or not?" he asked with a slightly annoyed expression.
Hinata jumped up. "O-oh…right." she said, and followed him. How would she ever get use to the winding corridors of the Akatsuki hideout?
Itachi finally stopped at a small white door, opening it, and allowing Hinata to enter first. The kitchen was small, with a small table in the center. It had the usual, a refrigerator, sink, cabinets…just a normal little kitchen. Despite the spots on the counter where it looked like someone had been sitting hot pots for long periods of time, and the dirty un-swept floor, the kitchen looked relatively clean and decent, at least, and it actually sounded rather funny to her, more welcoming than her own current room.
"We don't really have much, but you can have anything." he said. He sat down at the table, allowing Hinata to look around. In the cabinets, filled with ramen, all flavors. Why didn't he just fix her this? Was he trying to make her sick and die? The fridge was almost empty. It contained a jug of water, and milk that seemed to be going bad. What was up with that? There was an apple in the bottom drawer, and Hinata decided to make do with that. After getting a small cup of water, and the apple, she turned around to find Itachi starring at her. She squinted her eyes at him. "I-is there something wrong?" she asked. What a creepy guy…
"Nothing. I was just watching you." he said.
Hinata gulped visibly. What kind of person admits that they were JUST watching you?
"Okay…" Hinata said. "I'm going back now…" she said.
"Why not have a seat? I did want to talk, you know." he said.
Hinata's eyes widened. "Fine." she said. She sat across from him, not looking at him as she ate her apple. It was quiet for a long time.
"So…why don't you tell me about you?" Itachi asked.
"…I-I'd rather not." she said taking a long sip of her water.
He could tell she was nervous, and who wouldn't be? He did expect her to withhold from telling him what he wanted to know. "And why not?" he inquired.
Hinata looked at him, her head still tilted down in a submissive manner. "Because…y-you should already know about us Hyuugas." she said.
Itachi chuckled darkly. "I said about YOU." he said. "What you like, what you dislike, your outlook on life, why you are a ninja, those kinds of things." he said to give her something to start with.
"Why do you want to know about me?" she asked, full of curiosity.
"Because I'm curious, like anyone else who'd ask you would be." he said.
"And what if I don't tell you?" she asked.
"So many questions." he said with a hint of amusement in his red eyes. "If you don't tell me, I suppose I'd have to do something about that, now wouldn't I?" he said.
Hinata shifted her eyes from left to right before deciding to answer what he wanted. "I'd like to get out of here, and I don't like being here. Life i-is hard sometimes, and I'm a ninja b-because I had to be." Hinata said quietly.
Itachi was a little irritated one, by her answers, and two, because she was so damn quiet. "Well then, those were some very informative answers." he said with a sarcastic tone. "I assume you already know a lot about me….mostly the negatives…as a matter of fact, only the negatives." he said.
Hinata said nothing.
"Well, nice talking to you Hyuuga…" he said as she stood. "You know your way back, I assume." he said smirking as he disappeared.
"W-wai-" Hinata attempted to say wait, but he was already gone. What a jerk! She did not know her way back, and she would surely get lost if she attempted to leave the kitchen, but maybe that would give her something to do. Did she even want to know about the rest of the hideout??? She guessed this was his way of saying, "Mrs. Hyuuga, please take a look around." or either his way at getting back at her for her answers, but if it wasn't a screwed up way of saying it, Hinata didn't know what was. She peeked her head out the door, and found that there were no people occupying the halls. She made her way down the first one, listening to her footsteps echo off the walls and checking out all the doors she saw. She didn't dare go into any of the rooms. Most were shut tight, as if telling her she was forbidden from going into any of them, but one was slightly ajar, and she couldn't help but peak inside.
In the room, a man who seemed to be shrouded in darkness almost, with the exception of a few rays of light escaping in, sat in a chair in front of a desk. He seemed to be working on something, polishing, maybe, or picking at something. Whatever the case, he was doing something, and was immersed in it. He stood up suddenly, and made his way into another room through his, and shortly after, Hinata heard running water. Must be a bathroom. Feeling bold, she stayed put, and when he walked out, Hinata could have sworn it was…
"Who's there?" The voice said.
Hinata jumped a little, and a small gasp was caught in her throat. Unmistakable voice…
Before she could even react, in front of her was Tobi, clad in his usual attire and mask. He looked left and right. "Ah. It's just you." he said. "Why were you peeking in my room?" he asked.
"I-I was just curious….and the d-door was-" she cut herself off as she felt a hand on her cheek.
"You make me feel like I'm scaring you to death when you stutter." he said calmly.
Hinata said nothing as she looked at him.
He let out a short chuckle. "You didn't see anything, did you?" he asked.
"Not at a-all." she tried to keep the stuttering out.
"Are you lying?" he asked.
"…Okay…maybe just a little, but I promise I didn't see anything more." she said.
Tobi sighed. "Alright. Why are you in this part of the hideout anyway?" he asked.
"Well, Itachi came and saw that I didn't have anything…good to eat, so he took me to the kitchen with him. He was trying to talk to me, about me, but…" she stopped.
"I understand." he said. "Don't feel bad. He won't hurt you if you tell him anything." Tobi said as he gestured for her to follow him. "I'll help you get back to your room." he said. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, Itachi showing up already. It wasn't a nice omen in his opinion. He looked at Hinata. It seemed she had a natural pinkish tint on the bridge of her nose, and her eyes seemed so serine. She looked so feeble, and it made her look…cute. "So then….would you mind if I asked about you?" Tobi asked her.
Hinata raised an eyebrow and grinned in amusement. "B-but what makes you so sure I can trust you? You are Akatsuki too." she said.
Tobi grinned. "True." he said. "Okay. So what can I do that would make you trust me? Seems like I'm in the same category as Itachi right about now." he said.
As Hinata was about to answer, they both saw someone walking their way.
"Sasori." Tobi said and then reverted back to silly in an instant. "SASORI-SENPAI!!!" he screamed annoyingly.
Hianta cringed.
"…Tobi…" Sasori greeted although Hinata could see on his face he was clearly not happy about running into him. He looked at Hinata. "Well, this saves some trouble. Hyuuga-san, in the morning, our leader expects to see you. Be up early, about 6, or you'll be in for a rude awakening." he said.
"How am I suppose to know when six is without an alarm clock?" she asked quietly.
"Sleep light." Sasori answered simply.
"Tobi will come and get you up!" Tobi said happily.
Sasori grimaced. "Very well." he said. He brushed past them and continued to walk on.
Hinata followed him with her eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll come and get you up. Sasori's a little…stiff." he said. He grinned at the ironic sense of his words.
Hinata nodded. "Tell me about it." she said. "What do you think he wants to see me for?" she asked him.
"I'm not sure, but it's probably the start of your training." he said.
Upon finally reaching the room, Tobi bid Hinata a good night and left her to herself.
It had been an interesting day for Hinata. She rummaged around in the drawers for some bed clothes among the disorganized mess. There weren't really any, but Hinata decided to wear a pair of pale blue shorts and a white tee shirt to sleep in. They were the most comfortable. Going into the room next to hers, she washed her face and put her hair up. Lying down, she pondered what it could be that she would be summoned for. She almost went into an uneasy sleep thinking she was in a large place in God knows where with a bunch of psychos running around, until she remembered that Tobi was here. "Such a nice guy…what's someone like him doing here…?" she asked, and soon after drifted off to sleep.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Hinata was in the middle of a dream. It was pleasant, even though the only things she remembered until she woke up was that it was wonderful and she didn't want to be awaken. The knocks were soft at first, but grew louder as she woke up a little more. "I'm…c-coming." Hinata said as she got out of bed, feeling rather stiff. She opened the door to find Tobi standing there.
"Morning!" he said with enthusiasm.
"Good morning Tobi…" she said as she rubbed her eyes. "H-how could you wake up and be so happy like that?" she asked.
"I'm use to it. " he said. "I've got a mission today, but you've got some work to be doing too. I was right about your training." he said. "It's just after 5, so you should hurry, okay?" he said.
"Will you not be able to come with me?" she asked.
"Nope! I leave for the mission now." he said.
Hinata nodded. She gave Tobi a shy look. "When will you be back?" she asked.
Tobi grinned. Was she worried about him? Or was she afraid that there'd be no one else here to speak to like this? He wondered. "Well, at the most, about two days. The mission isn't too far from here." he explained.
Hinata sighed.
"Don't' worry. They're not all bad….Deidara isn't so….well…Kisame's not….hm…Just hang in there, alright?' he said.
Hinata giggled a bit. "I'll do that." she said, but deep down she was a bit worried.
"To get to Leader's office, you need to go all the way down the hall and then turn twice to the right. Then you'll come to another hallway. Just go left and go all the way to the end." Tobi said.
"I got it." Hinata said.
Tobi gave Hinata a reassuring nod, and then took his leave.
"…Can't go anywhere in this." she thought. She began to look for some decent clothes to wear.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Hinata soon got changed into a pair of comfortable clothes she thought would be decent. A pair of black Capri's, a dark navy shirt that was actually quite from fitting, she pulled her own fishnet over that, along with the stomach guard. Her jacket soon followed. For some reason, she didn't think the jounin vest was right for the situation. Why was she even worried? She did put on her headband however, letting it dangle around her neck. Putting her hair in a low ponytail, she stepped out the door. Immediately, all her confidence was lost. What were those directions Tobi gave her again???
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Pein sat in his chair and studied the door with boredom. "She's late…" he said with a distasteful tone.
Deidara nodded. "I knew this girl would only be a waste of time, un…" he said.
"On the contrary. We'll fix that bad habit soon." he said.
It was almost 6:45 by the time Hinata burst into the doors breathing heavy. "S-sorry I'm late! I got lost cause I went the completely wrong direction a-and I didn't realize it until I got all the w-way on the other side and didn't see any doors and-" Hinata stopped when she realized she was rambling and the leader and Deidara were looking at her like she'd lost her ever loving mind.
"Finished?" Pein asked.
"S-sorry…" she said. Oh no, what were they going to do?
"Sasori informed me that someone would help you…you should have been earlier than this, or at least remembered some of the directions." Pein said. "While you're here, you'd do well to remember that I don't accept tardiness. To assure that you don't do it again, I'm giving you an hour of extra training." he said.
Hinata looked slightly relieved. That was it? She could probably handle that, but to be sure, she didn't jump to conclusions too fast. She took a deep breath.
"Before I send you off, however, could you tell me one thing?" Pein asked, "Why haven't you tried to run yet?" his eyes never left hers.
Hinata knew she'd better answer. "B-because…I don't think that would make too much sense, a-as a Shinobi…" she said.
"I heard that you made an attempt to at first. Was that because then you thought you had a chance? I will inform you now, escape is futile. As a part of our overall plans, you won't be given the chance." he explained.
Hinata began to fumble with her fingers. "Why am I e-even here to begin w-with?" she asked, even though she had to admit she was a tad afraid of the answer.
"For now, that is confidential." he said simply. His eyes shifted to Deidara.
Deidara nodded and hopped over to stand in front of Hinata. He was a whole 3 or 4 inches taller than her. He was slightly intimidating, and Hinata knew there was just something off about him. He gave a creepy smile. "Hello-un…"he said.
Hinata said nothing back as she looked up at him with furrowed eyebrows. What was it that made her feel so uneasy?
"As you probably already know, we aim to train you. That's all." Pein said. "So that everything goes smoothly, you mustn't be a weakling." he said.
Hinata's eyes widened at his choice of words to describe her. Weakling? Did everyone think that about her? Her eyes narrowed. She'd show them. Once they'd trained her enough, she thought, when she was able to surpass them, because she now made it a point that she would, she would flee away from here. Plans could change, but she was quick in making tactics, and things might get altered a little bit, but she knew that's what she could do. She'd risk it.
"Just follow him." Pein said.
"Just think of it this way. You'll more than likely be alive by the end, un.." Deidara said with a wink.
Hinata already added him to her disturbing category. She hesitated, but began to follow Deidara anyway.
He led her down the opposite end of the hall and towards a small door that led outside the base, she could tell. His back was turned to her. Why did she feel the sudden urge to palm him with the gentle fist move?
"Don't even think about trying anything funny. I could just feel that evil intent emanating from you." he said as he turned his head to eye her with a smirk. Hinata nearly froze.
The stone-like tunnel they were in soon led to a weak wooden door that Deidara opened. When he started to go through, and it was Hinata's turn, she found herself walking down a set of very long stone stairs. It was not only how high up they were, but the stairs had no railing, and they were damp. Not to mention the temperature in the area seemed to drop as she descended further down. Even with her trusty jacket, Hinata thought she'd be an ice cube soon.
Upon getting halfway down the staircase, Hinata saw a large platform of some sort, supported by two large pillars. Looking over the edge, she saw that it was surrounded by water, like a moat almost. She gulped. Once they were finally done descending the steps and on the platform, Deidara led her to the center. "Well, here we are, un." he said as he took a look around himself. The place was so cold, it was a wonder the flames from the torches lighting the place weren't frozen too.
Hinata clutched the jacket to her.
"Alright. Now remove your jacket, un." Deidara instructed.
For the first time since she'd been following him, Hinata realized Deidara didn't have a jacket, cloak, or anything on. Just his black shirt and fishnet. She reluctantly removed the jacket and immediately she was sure she'd have hypothermia by the time they were done. She shook visibly. "W-why must I-I take o-off my jacket?" she asked to the best of her ability.
"The first thing you should know is that surviving hard conditions is a must. This is our actual training area. You'll be visiting it everyday, whether it be with me, or someone else, un." he explained nonchalantly. "These are the conditions. I'm not holding back, understand, so don't expect it." he said. "You do whatever you can to keep from getting hit by my bombs. At the end, you'll be in for a little surprise, if you can make it that long." he said with another infamous smirk. "If you get hit once, it's over. You'll start over and over again from the beginning, until you get it right, un." he said. "And in case you haven't already realized, I'll be the one helping you with agility."
Hinata nodded. This was going to be just great. Ruthless training. What did she expect from someone like him, like them?
"Now if you don't mind…" Deidara said reaching for some clay, "Let's get started, un." he said.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
A/N: Training with Deidara…I'd be dead. Well anyway, hope you enjoyed your chapter. I updated everything else, so after this, it's back to trials. That story, for all who read it, might be temporarily stopped so I can develop the plot better. It's taken a turn I'm not really too fond of, and I really hate it's not backing up "Ai?" very well. Anyway, I think I said it before, but I WILL NOT accept flames, I won't. And I mean it. Flamers stay away, alright? Go play with a torch and a stack of wood. I will accept constructive criticism, and anything else, but remember, don't' say anything to me that you wouldn't want said to you when you don't have to write at all. Alright. Okay. Thanks for all of you who reviewed, and the next chapter will be up at the end of the week or next week. Ja ne.
