Hi-ya Readers, well here is ch. 5 I hope you enjoy. I would have updated sooner, but drama with the family arose and I had to wait. T.T I'm sure those of you who have older sister's would understand what kind of trouble they can bring… (and those of you who have older brothers, well all I can say is… you lucky bastards). Anyways enough of my complaining. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. But I do own a 4th Hokage plushie that looks so gosh darn adorable. X3
"Mr. Hyuuga I'm going to be blunt with you, Hinata is in horrible psychical condition, also she has faced severe mental abuse, so I expect your full cooperation with this investigation"
"What are you talking about? Who has been doing this to Hinata?"
Itachi gave him a solemn dangerous look. Who does this guy think he's kidding, doesn't he know what kind of mother Hinata has been living with?... Wait what if this woman wasn't even Hinata's real mother?
"Mr. Hyuuga who is Hinata's birthmother?"
"Tsuki Nakahara, of course, I thought you knew this"
"Well Mr. Hyuuga if you wish to know who has been abusing and neglecting your daughter it's the very Tsuki Nakahara that you say is her birthmother"
Hiashi tensed he could have sworn his heart stopped beating for that one moment.
"Tsuki is such a kind woman, I'm mean sure she can be a little rough around the edges, but never with a child, you must be mistaken, you have the wrong woman, Tsuki would never do such an abominable act, and what of the man that murdered Tsuki have you caught him yet?"
"No unfortunately my team is still investigating his ware bouts, he is a big drug dealer who has slipped through our fingers many times"
Itachi hated to admit it but this man was giving ANBU a large amount of trouble, every time they closed in on him he'd slither through their plans. It was infuriating, especially since they don't really have a good image about who he is, but Itachi does know someone who does. Hinata knows how he looks like, she's an important asset to our case, I can't hand her over to Hiashi just yet.
"Mr. Hyuuga you met Tsuki while modeling, care to explain more about your relationship with her?"
Hiashi stayed silent for a moment.
"Is this information necessary?" blushed Hiashi.
"Yes it is, now I still expect your cooperation, please answer my question."
Hiashi moved around in his seat trying to find a comfortable position.
"Well my late brother Hizashi introduced us…
… she was a new model for our company and was making ends meat. We began bonding during one of our photo shoots and from there our relationship just sky rocketed. She was struggling with school and her family at the time, so I helped her out. Everyday I'd bring books to her house and she loved reading them so much, but after a while she began acting weird, even though she was such a sweet girl, The problems at home were taking a toll on her, her father often got drunk and hit her, her mom was a drug addict. So I helped her move into one of the company's apartments. But her family continued to harass her, soon she stopped showing up to the photo shoots I was worried about her, but word got around about our relationship, and my father disproved of it immediately, after he found out who she was he fired her. But because I was so worried about her I continued seeing her, I found out later that she was doing drugs too, on that day I went to her house to see her but she left with out a trace. And a week later my father moved the entire company over here in Kumo, I never even got the chance to see my little Hinata, Tsuki was two months pregnant when I left."
Itachi scribbled down all these things in his investigation sheet. I see so Hinata is nothing more that a love child, what a shame, yet if I'm correct she is the only heir to the Hyuuga corporation.
"Mr. Hyuuga does your current wife know about Tsuki… or Hinata for that matter?"
"No, no she doesn't, I married my wife because she was the only girl my father approved of" Hiashi looked at Itachi nervously. "Mr. Uchiha would you by any chance have a picture of Hinata with you, I've never seen how she looks like"
Itachi raised a brow at the man.
"I'm sorry Mr. Hyuuga I don't have a picture on my person, but if you're really anxious about it I can have my staff email me some of the pictures we took of her on the day of the murder, although I would rather wait if I were you, she looks quite sickly and beaten and I think it would be best if we waited until she's healthier"
"No please show me, I have to see for myself these things that you claim Tsuki has done"
As soon as Hiashi finished his sentence a loud knocking erupted on the other side of his office door.
"Uncle I need to speak with you, its me Neji, let me in"
Hiashi looked at the door stoically. What horrible timing this boy has.
"Neji I'm in an important meeting right now, don't knock on my door while I have a guest, now leave"
"I'm sorry Uncle, but I wish to speak with you immediately, please allow me to talk with you after you're done"
"Very well! Now leave!"
"Who was that?" questioned Itachi. Did he say his name was Neji, his late brother's son?
"Neji Hyuuga I presume, he's your nephew correct?"
"Yes, he is, he's a very promising model for our company, the Hyuuga eyes are very popular as far as modeling goes."
"I see… Mr. Hyuuga since Hinata is your only child will she be inheriting your company?"
The question struck Hiashi dumb. He frowned and then relaxed his face, and he again frowned. It seemed he didn't know what to say.
"I don't know, I haven't even seen my own child, how will I explain her to my wife, I don't even know how she looks like, does she even know about me, she must hate me.."
Comments began spilling out of Hiashi's mouth all his worries about Hinata spouted out.
"Well I can't disclose much information about her but she's attending Konoha High, she's a very bright child, but I do believe she will have to go through months of extensive psychiatric work to help her function in society properly."
Hiashi's countenance gloomed into depression.
"If I'm not allowed to see her just yet, can I have someone keep an eye on her for me?"
"Not just yet, once we have her adjust to a school environment we'll see if we'll be able to cope with your existence" Well, if I need my plan to work I'll need to have her do something for me, so I'm sorry Hiashi but Hinata belongs to me for the moment until her usefulness wears away, then you may see your daughter. Itachi grinned widely inside his head.
"Well if you'll excuse me Mr. Hyuuga I've already taken so much of your time, we can continue this conversation tomorrow"
Itachi gracefully stood up and glided to the door. As he exited he noted a beautiful boy sitting patiently in the waiting room outside of the office. The boy had luscious coffee brown hair that extended to his middle back, it gleamed exquisitely contrasting against the florescent building lights, his stunning creamy skin glowed like that of a god, his body was lean and well toned, his face was framed everything proportioned gracefully. This man was God's second greatest creation ever, Itachi being the first of course.
Neji eyed the man leaving his uncle's office. Is he a new model for the agency? I don't remember Uncle mentioning any new auditions, especially now with our Fall line doing so well.
Itachi left the building and had his car take him to the hotel he was staying in, of course he couldn't resist the urge to stop by a few brothels on the way. I wonder what kind of girls Kumo has to offer, He smiled devilishly to himself. He then remembered to call Kisame, if Hinata agreed to his deal then everything should go smoothly.

Hinata walked timidly behind her escorts, she observed the hallways with great detail. The building was beautiful and large, it seemed like a mansion. Hinata constantly kept reminding herself that it was a school. It connected to many building like an intricate spider web weaving majestically from branch to branch, the floor a luminous tile pattern of white and a royal blue, lockers huddled together as if whispering about the new arrival. It had no particular smell, except of plastic and the nostalgic aroma of books. She grew nervous, this new place didn't seem frightening but Hinata half expected a lynch mob of girls to come out and finish the job her mother failed to do. Strange how a place of enlightenment and knowledge could harbor such wretched beasts.
"You're going to love school little kitten." Exclaimed Deidara. "Especially the class I teach,hmm."
"You teach here?" spoke Hinata, no longer nervous around the feminine looking Deidara.
"All three of us are student-teachers here, I help out with Home Ec., Sasori teaches Art, and that giant freak Kisame coaches the swim team."
"Don't call me a giant freak you gigolo!" hissed Kisame.
Deidara ignored Kisame's hiss and continued talking about the teachers.
"Yea, once we register you up, we'll tell you your schedule and dorm room."
"Itachi has personally talked with Ms. Tsunade, the principle, and has requested that you be room mate free for the rest of the school year, but in return she asked that you take counseling sessions with Ibiki, the school guidance counselor, he with help you over come this fear you have, along with the help of Sasuke of course" Sasori smiled softly and looked behind Hinata to see Sasuke glaring at him with bloody eyes, he unwillingly came along only to keep an eye on Hinata.
They walked until they came in front of a mahogany wooden door that was labeled. 'Principle Tsunade'. Sasori gently rapped on the door.
"Come in" Came a loud voice.
Kisame opened the door to reveal a flustered Tsunade hastily hiding some sake under her desk.
"Yes what is it, I'm very busy right now" she growled, blushing at the fact that she was almost caught slacking off.
Hinata took one look at the woman and froze, her blood ran cold, and her body shook terribly. I promised them that I would give the principle a chance, but this woman is so intimidating I don't know how long I can stand being in the same room with such a frightening menace. Hinata remembered reading once about a man named Walter Cannon who said that every person acts to threats with one of two responses, to flee from the threat or to fight it back. It was recognized as the Fight or Flight response, and Hinata didn't take a moments hesitation to run with all her might away from the horrendous woman.
"Let me guess… that was the gynophobic girl Itachi mentioned" Slurred Tsunade.
"Yes I'm afraid it is, she is still under rehabilitation as you can see"
Tsunade stood up groggily, and rubbed her temples in frustration.
"Don't worry I'll go after her" she sighed.
"Actually I already caught her," heaved Sasuke, with a frantic Hinata kicking and screaming across his shoulder
"Let me go Sasuke, please let me go" She clawed his back viciously in an attempt to make him put her down. Her breathing was irregular and her eyes dilated like a deer in front of headlights. She squirmed and struggling until her breathing became panting. Dreadful memories flooded her mind, and she cried even louder.
"She'll kill me, p-p-please S-s-sasuke help me" Sasuke's throat clenched, he had a horrible feeling consume his body when she cried out his name for help.
"Let me go!" She wheezed, she began crying from the terror of not being able to escape.
"P-p-please don't do t-t-this to m-me" She sobbed like a child her body became limp and fatigued from exhaustion. Sasuke's heart throbbed from hearing her cry like that. He felt like he was hurting her in the worst possible way, his grip held strong but he looked at the floor in shame for making her cry like that. Everyone remained silent, her crying pulling heart strings. But they each refused to help her escape. It's for her own good
"Here Sasuke give her to me, I'll take her to another room until she calms down" offered a guilty Kisame.
"No… you guys register her… I'll help her calm down" muttered Sasuke and left with a quivering Hinata whimpering helplessly behind his back. He felt an immense feeling of gloom, its as if he were a wicked farmer carrying a bleating lamb to its death. Her cries were enough to make demons want to take revenge at the person cruel enough to make her weep so feebly.
He walked gravely to an unused English room, and placed her on the teacher's desk. She sniffled and trembled, taking heavy breathes.
"I'm s-s-sorry I d-did that, even t-though I promised I w-wouldn't" She stuttered terribly almost making her words sound like gibberish. Sasuke remained silent, he couldn't look at her in the face, he felt so ashamed. Hinata tried to control herself, wiping away tears with her hand, rubbing her irritated eyes.
"Don't rub your eyes, it'll only make it worse" he murmured softly. I've made so many girls cry on purpose, so why does she make me feel so guilty for something that was her fault, stupid girl, why does she make me feel so culpable she shouldn't have run away like that.
He shyly looked at her eyes, those pale lavender eyes. He moved closer to her cupping her wet cheeks in his large warm hand his other hand twitching slightly; wanting desperately to push her down on the desk and ravish her body completely, living with her for the past couple of days has been hell on his body, she was simply too addictive, he didn't know what attraction he had with her but it drove his body crazy, she was a rare sight, similar to a bird, sure you'd see them flocking the skies everyday, but people never get the chance to get close to them, and on the few occasions it would usually be because they had a broken wing, yes Hinata was a broken winged bird, rare to see up close yet you can't help but fall in love with it, of course Sasuke wasn't in love, at least that's what he told himself. Love is so stupid, I'm just sexually frustrated that's all, she's too weak to love, her stupid blush is annoying, it doesn't turn me on or anything. Sasuke wondered how long he could be near her with out taking advantage of her, and even though they were alone in a room, with absolutely no one around, Sasuke tried to control his urge. Hinata looked at him curious at his actions.
"Sasuke? What are you doing?" she whispered.
He leaned closer to her face, their breaths mingling and intertwining from their closeness. Her face is so soft, I wonder how her lips taste like? He leaned even closer to her inviting lips, he was so close to tasting her when suddenly the door burst open.
"Hey how is my little kitten doing,hmm!"
Sasuke whipped his face away from Hinata his blood rushing at the thought of what he was about to do. Deidara gaped opened eyed at what he just walked into. So little Sasuke has a crush on her? His fangirls won't be very happy about this. Deidara cracked a small mischievous smile. I wonder how far I can tease him until he finally takes her for himself. Ku ku ku ku. Hinata once you lose your usefulness to Itachi, I'm interested to see how this game with Sasuke will turn out. Will you love him in return, or will you hate him for unleashing the fangirls upon you?
Deidara smiled softly, "Don't worry I'll keep this a secret" he winked and left.
Sasuke glanced at Hinata, every once and a while she took ragged breaths but soon her breathing became normal. Shit that stupid Deidara came in, now he knows, wait knows what, its not like I like her or anything… stupid Hinata, its all her fault.
"Hinata… this school is full of girls, grow a backbone and stand up to your fears, they aren't homicidal monsters, they're girls just like you"
Hinata pursed her lips and frowned. Sasuke is right, how am I ever going survive if every time I see a girl I run away, Byaku Kiba (A/N Hinata is referring to the dog from a book she read, Byaku Kiba is the pit dog from Ch.1) never ran from his fears he led them on and fought them head on fang vs. fang. I need to give women a chance, perhaps not all women are savage monsters. Hinata slowly inhaled and exhaled until her chills stopped. She looked at Sasuke with a steady eye.
"I think I'm ready to talk to Ms.Tsunade again…"
Sasuke smirked and led her outside of the room back into the principles office. Tsunade waited patiently at her desk. She looked at the girl with a blank face and smiled sweetly.
"Are you okay Hinata, you seemed quite shaken"
Hinata began shaking again, but took deep breathes, her heart was accelerating at a furious pace, she could hardly hear Tsunade speak with her hearts loud beating.
Thump, thump
"Well these gentlemen have already arranged your registration while you were gone…
Thump, thump
… and your dorm will be to yourself, but there are rules and regulations to keep while staying at the dorms, however your Dorm Mother Kurenai will explain those to you when you move in..
Thump, thump Breath she isn't threatening me or hitting me, calm down. Inhale, exhale.
"Well I suppose that will be all, oh how rude of me I haven't even properly introduced myself, I am your principle Ms. Tsunade" Tsunade held out a friendly hand for Hinata to shake, but instead Hinata flinched horrible and shielded her face. She took steps back but walked into a towering Sasuke who held her shoulders in an attempt to stop her from fleeing again. He leaned into her ear and whispered softly.
"She's just greeting you, take her hand and shake it, she wont hurt you, trust me"
Thump, thump! Thump, thump! Hinata's heart beat even faster with Sasuke whispering in her ear.
He took her quivering hand and held it out for her "Like this, now grab her hand and shake."
Thump! Thump!
Hinata took Tsunades hand and Tsunade gave it a gently shake. As soon as Tsunade let go Hinata's hand retreated like a dog to its master. She looked at Tsunade with a calmer eye. I did it, I didn't run away, and she didn't try to kill me. Hinata's knees shook in excitement. She looked around to see Sasuke, Deidara, and Kisame bearing big smiles, Kisame patted her head and Deidara winked and blew her a kiss, which Sasuke hissed at. He elbowed Deidara and took Hinata into the hallway.
"Well lets help you get all your stuff into your dorm school starts the day after tomorrow, hmm"
On the next Oh how the silent tremble:
Itachi has returned and asks Hinata something she isn't willing to do. But Itachi always gets what he wants. Sasuke is worried about how he'll protect Hinata, will he come up with a plan? Will someone else intervene and take Hinata all to himself? Oh the cruel deception
