As always Kishimoto owns everything

'Run. Run. Run. Run!' She screamed in her mind over and over. Her eyes felt ablaze her byakugan burning out and fizzling away. Leaving her in the poorly lit haze of her partially sited vision.

'I can't see!' she almost screamed aloud in a panicked frenzy, She didn't hear the whistle of the blade that flew towards her, through her own turbulent hysteria. Only becoming aware of it as it tore through the side of her throat.

Gagging and chocking on her own blood as it gushed through the wound. She spun on some morbid instinct to face her own death. Barely making out the stark, menacing animal mask of root, the shanobi rearing his hand to slit her throat in one powerful swipe of his blade.

Her head jeered back and her eyes slammed shut in an instant. As warm blood splattered across her face and her front.

Everything stopped.

She felt nothing, herd nothing, saw nothing. She was all but trapped in emptiness.

Until a slow thumping in her chest became a frenzied thudding against her rib cage. The fiery burn of lack of oxygen running through her lungs up to her throat, has she heaved in a huge gulp, breathing in sporadically as if drowning in air.

Her eyes flung open, the impact of the knowledge, she was still alive had just hit her. She didn't know if she should scream or laugh hysterically, in the end she couldn't perform either, as she gurgled and choked on the blood coursing from her neck.

Sasuke looming in front of her drenched in blood, his katana raised dangerously in the air. Still yet to move from the stance of a killer, the root operative's body limply fell forward pealing apart in to two, cleanly down the middle before the corpse hit the ground.

The very site made Hinata gag and once again cough up more blood. Before she turned away from the horror of the mutilation. Forcing herself to move her feet and stumble forward a few more yards before collapsing. Not wanting to be anywhere nears the retched carcass.

Sasuke was at her side before she fully collided with the ground, his hands applying pressure to the gash on her neck. To exhaust himself to fully carry her he opted instead to fling her arm over his shoulder, to half drag and to half hobble toward some unknown shelter.

Kakashi lay flat on his back blinking once then again. The question of 'Where the hell am I?' filtered through his brain. He was staring at a blue sky, corrupted with strings of white clouds that lazily drifted and broke apart.

This wasn't right, he had somewhere to be; he always had somewhere to be. What was he suppose to be doing again? Was the a reason why he wasn't wearing his uniform? Were those scratches on his chest? He traced his finger over the marks.

"Don't forget the bite mark on your neck," a deep voice piped in, disturbing his internal questioning, yet still not pulling him out of his confused retrieve. Kakashi moved his hand up to his collarbone to the tender area.

"She sure is proving hard to tame". The voice spoke again.

"Yeah" Kakashi agreed.

Wait 'she?' Who was she again?

"Hinata!" Kakashi yelled suddenly "She drugged me, I can't believe I fell for it."

" You're an idiot I am sure it wasn't hard." The masculine voice berated

Kakashi scowled at the source "Why are you here again?"

The little pug answered just as impassively as it's master would of. "You summoned me to keep track of her, if she ever jumped the fence."

"She not a horse" Pakun analogies, annoyed him a little.

"Well she's obviously too much for you to handle, what was it, you thought of her again?" The dog asked in a mocking tone, moving it podgy body as it did so. "O that's right, you thought she would be easily manipulated."

"I am an idiot, what do I know." He conceded sitting up to better assess the situation.

"Report" The hokage ordered switching to his serious tone.

"She escaped root" Kakashi subconsciously relaxed a little at the news. " She was aided by Sasuke, wiped out most of the squad trailing them. However both seemed to have sustained substantial injuries shouldn't be too hard for you to pursue."

Kakashi mulled over the information for a moment. "Pakun you go back to the Leaf, tell Tsunade I need back up, I'll go on ahead tell them to catch up."

"Understood" Pakun answered readying to leave, when Kakashi asked.

"By the way, where the hell am I?" The dog sniggered before he disappeared to deliver the message. Kakashi could find his own way off the mountaintop.

"Hin... ta…Hinata come on stay awake." The shocking sensation of ice-cold water being splashed on to her face brought her back from the brink of semi-consciousness "you've lost a lot of blood you need to stay awake."

The gaping wound on her neck was restricting her breathing, with what medical knowledge she had acquired in her recent year, she started to heal herself. She had always had perfect chakra control, in theory all Hyugas should make excellent medics.

As she pressed the healing chakra into her neck restoring cells and sealing skin, she had ultimately cured herself. Leaving Sasuke speechless watching her intently not knowing she was capable of such a feat.

"I think it's just when you have hyperthermia, you need to stay awake." She stated while checking for any other injuries.

"If you could do that, why didn't you do so earlier?" For the first time he sounded annoyed with her.

She smiled at him sheepishly and replied "shock, exhaustion." Looking him over and noticing a deep slash above his right kneecap. "Let me heal you. "

Only after treating his wounds did she activate her byakugan to check the fetus in her womb.

"You need to conserve your chakra" Sassuke scolded lightly, upon observing her actions.

"I was just checking on the baby," Hinata explained.

"Your pregnant?"

"You didn't know?" she asked a little taken back she thought for sure he'd have known. "If you didn't know why did you keep coming back for me?"
