Chapter 14
The new world Hinata had entered was just like the colorful one except now she was back in the desert. Sand blew about her ankles and that's when she realized something else, her feet were not sinking into the sand. Now she knew something was wrong, she pinched herself and nothing happened, her teeth clamped down on her bottom lip. Even though the sharp taste of iron touched her tongue she still was not free from this world. Sighing in defeat she began to walk and walk and walk until she felt as if she would die from dehydration. Finally she spotted an oasis and she ran to it laughing and jumping. She dove into the water with all her clothes on and not a care in the world.
"Paradise," she breathed, floating on her back in the oddly dense water, but that didn't matter.
Her head bumped lightly against something and she stood to see what it was. It was something black and shaped in a nice oval. Grasping it in both hands she picked it up and turned it to face her, only briefly noting that the black stuff was soft. Mouth agape not even a scream came out of her, she was too afraid to even move. In her hands was the dismembered head of her younger sister. Her eyes closed as tears began to stream down her face, her eyes opened slowly, but this time instead of it being her sister's head it was a rock. Hinata put it back in the water and watched as it sank to the bottom.
Still a bit shaken she dipped her cupped hands into the water and splashed her face a few times. That was when she noticed something in the now thickening and cloudy red water. Two pairs of opal eyes staring up at her and getting closer and closer until Hannabi's head resurfaced. This time her voice cooperated with her and a scream rang out through the imaginary world. She scrambled out of the pool only to realize it was much thicker than before reluctantly she brought a finger to her lips. The familiar metallic taste made her scream again and this time she was able to crawl out of the pool just as she remembered that she had splashed her face with the foul liquid. Clawing at her cheeks she tried to wipe her hands off on her equally soaked clothes. A sharp pain spread through her chest and she looked down to see a long sword sticking out of her, eyes rolling back in her head she caught a glimpse of another pair of Sharringan.
"Get up weakling." He growled before ripping his sword from her chest. "On your feet now."
Her knees knocked together as she attempted to stand and face Sasuke, but she couldn't stand for long. She started to slide back to her knees, right as Sasuke pushed his sword into her once more and stopped her body from falling completely to the ground.
"I said on your feet," he snapped lifting the Katana slightly, making the wound in her chest longer.
Blood fell from her mouth in what seemed like a small waterfall, falling not only onto her over soaked clothes but also onto the sand beneath her feet.
"Does it hurt Hyuuga?" Sasuke asked her, pulling his sword out and making her fall to her knees shuddering in pain.
She didn't say anything she was still too busy trying to catch her breath, only to be constantly chocked by her own blood. Sasuke slashed at her arm, cutting right through the nerve, making her cry out.
"Answer me!" He shouted, sticking his sword through her once more making her feel pain she had yet to explore. "Does it hurt?"
"H-Hai!" She cried as he lifted her to her feet with his sword.
"Then scream for me," he said, sadistically.
That was exactly what Hinata did as his Katana sliced up and out her head, in yet her screams never stopped. Soon Sasuke faded from her vision her body fully healed though the pain ever lingering.
"Get up," a cold familiar voice hissed.
"N-ni-san?" Hinata stuttered gasping.
"Get up main branch trash!" he snapped sending a bone shattering kick to her ribs.
She gasped as she felt her side cave into the blow and flecks of blood fly from her open mouth, her body now sprawled across the sand and her hand falling into the now warm pool of blood. Shrieking she pulled her hand out of the pool and began to crawl backwards not even caring that sand stuck to her palm. The back of her jacket was tugged upward strangling her slightly, as her cousin pulled her to her feet. His hand came across her cheek hard sending her to the sandy ground once again.
"Neji-ni-san w-why?" she asked tears red as blood leaking from her eyes.
"I've always hated you," he spat.
"Demo, why did you?" Hinata began
"An act all of it so that when this day would come no one would suspect me," he said before lifting her by her neck. "You were born weak," he said striking her repeatedly with chakra filled palms. "You will always be weak Hinata." He continued striking a fatal point in her chest, reopening painful wounds and memories. "That is because you were born weak," he said pulling a kunai from the pouch attached to his waist. "And that will never change."
The slashes he created across her body were possibly even more painful than the Uchiha', not to mention the emotional pain she was going through. Finally when she felt like he had bled her like a slaughterhouse animal he disappeared and she appeared to be healed. In her mind she was already prepared for what this world of torture was ready to dish out, her body and mind both felt numb. Suddenly a huge gust of wind sent her flying into the pool of blood, making her mind and body scream after touching the crimson liquid.
"Well if it isn't hopeless Hinata-chan," Temari said from her spot squatting next to her.
"Temari-chan?" Hinata gasped definitely not ready for this mental torture and suddenly aware her Byakugan had forced itself to activate.
"Don't you dare call me by such familiar terms!" she hissed.
'Temari-chan please…" Hinata said just before Temari shoved her head beneath the surface of the red pool.
After a few seconds she felt her head resurface and she gasped for breath, and flailed her arms.
"Awww poor poor weak Hinata, there's no one to save you now," Temari said in a singsong voice.
"Demo, I thought we were friends…" Hinata spluttered.
Temari spat in her face, that she saw even with her eyes closed thanks to the Byakugan. Her hands moved to wipe the saliva that burned like acid away from her eyes.
"Temari I thought we were friends," Hinata mumbled tears still falling from her eyes.
"Friends with you!? Don't make me laugh!" She snapped, pushing Hinata's head closer to the rippling surface. "Weaklings like you belong in one place and one place only," Temari said grinning before forcing her beneath the blood. "And that's dead, in the ground."
Hinata's eyes closed as she hit the surface of the liquid, her mouth gasping in as much air as it could hold. She struggled as much as she could but soon grew tired and was quickly running short of oxygen. Thick bubbles floated around her clouding her Byakugan. Soon though the bubbles disappeared and that's when she saw the floating corpses. One of Naruto's, one of Gaara's one of her sister, and so many more that she couldn't even recognize. She opened her mouth to scream and realized to late where she was. Unfamiliar blood filled her mouth and lungs, the coppery taste making her want to heave. Again she struggled to surface but her head remained beneath the blood. Her salty tears mixed with the blood around her as she continued to cry, her vision becoming hazy.
Slowly her eyes began to close as her body grew heavy and the last of her air dissipating. Her eyes saw that the blood red moon hanging in the pitch-black sky was finally full, and then she was met with black.
Her wide white eyes rolled back in her head as she fell into the outstretched arms of Itachi Uchiha. He picked her up and slung her over his shoulder and resumed walking. Kisame soon followed behind them, staring intently at the quivering Kunoichi.
"Hey Itachi, wasn't that a little harsh?" Kisame asked, as they stopped to switch jobs.
The only reply Kisame got was a sharp glare and he was silenced. Itachi soon disappeared to make sure that the pursuers would never even gain an inch as Kisame continued on his path to his meeting place. And although he tried he couldn't help feeling sorry for the gentle girl in his arms.

Everyone slowed as Akamaru began sniffing around a specific area in a small clearing before turning and sniffing in another direction.
"What is it boy?" Kiba said joining his dog on the ground.
A loud buzzing noise filled the clearing as a swarm of Kekai bugs flew toward their master. Shino held a finger out to the leader then commencing to talk with it. Neji searched the forest for his younger cousin and still he found nothing, not even a single trace of her or a struggle.
"My Kekai say they can no longer trace her," Shino said as his bug flew away.
"Yeah and Akamaru can't find a strong enough scent to trace," Kiba said, patting his dog on the head.
"I can't see her, I couldn't even see her two hours ago," Neji said bitterly.
Gaara stood there on the tree branch contemplating what to do next. They had left almost right after the pursuers and Neji had claimed he saw them the first hour they had began their journey. That's when Gaara, finally realized exactly what had happened.
"Genjutsu," he cursed.
"What did you say?" Kiba called from the ground.
"We're stuck in a Genjutsu," Gaara repeated only a little louder.
"I noticed that to," Shino said, looking toward the Kazekage.
"Well why the hell didn't you say anything!?" Kiba yelled from the base of the tree.
"By the time I realized we were in a Genjutsu it was to late to reverse," Shino said matter of factly.
"How long have you known we were in a Genjutsu?' Neji asked, also quite bitter.
"About two hours," Shino said. "Right after you lost sight of them, or it could have been before that."
"Damn it!" Kiba growled and punched the tree.
"When will the Genjutsu ware off?" Neji asked, controlling his anger.
"About two more hours maybe a little longer or a little sooner," Shino stated. "Give or take a few hours."
"What are we supposed to do until then?" Kiba asked.
"Wait," Shino said before leaping into another tree.
Gaara didn't like the sound of that at all.

Sasuke pushed ahead of everyone else, his rage burning more so then anyone else's. He didn't even want to go on this stupid mission; he didn't even know the Hyuuga girl, why would he want to marry her? But now a whole different aspect fueled his determination. The Akatsuki had taken her, that much was clear, and his brother was in Akatsuki. Really he could care less about the Hyuuga girl. Thanks to Orochimaru's insisting he marry a Hyuuga now he knew exactly where Akatsuki was.

Naruto and Jiraya finally made it to Suna after traveling all night and all morning. The sand village stood in a total disrepair compared to what it used to look like. They both entered the village and were surrounded by sand and Konoha ninja alike.
"Stand down," one Konoha anbu insisted. "Master Jiraya must go see Tsunade-sama."
"What about this intruder sir?" a sand anbu asked referring to Naruto.
"He must also go see Tsunade-sama," another anbu commented.
"We shall escort you to the tower," one said, the other next to him nodding.
Naruto and Jiraya were led through the remains of the city to the tower and were soon led to the Kazekage's office. Jiraya knocked on the door, a few seconds later a small girl with black eyes and brown hair opened the door. Her smiling hopeful face turned into one of utter disappointment and anger.
"What do you want?" the girl snapped.
"Hey you little brat!" Naruto cried, about to smack her head. "Show some respect!"
"Pfft, you don't deserve respect," she muttered.
"WHAT WAS THAT!" Naruto yelled.
"Why are you even here? We're having an important meeting!" the girl cried.
"I've come to speak to oba-chan about Hinata-chan," Naruto said.
The little girl looked surprised at first before her eyes narrowed and she glared at Naruto.
"What do you know about nee-chan?" the small girl asked.
"Hinata-chan is one of my friends and I'm here to save her and take her back to leaf." Naruto stated proudly, just as the door slammed in his face.
"Matsuri, who was that?" Temari asked, sitting fully healed on Gaara's couch.
"No body important," Matsuri said nonchalantly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO BODY IMPORTANT!!?" Naruto cried, making the tower practically shake.
"Matsuri," Tsunade said, glaring at the young girl. "Shizune let him in."
"Hai Tsunade-sama," Shizune said standing and walking to the door.
"Well hello Naruto, I'm guessing you're here because of the news about Hinata," Tsunade said.
"Heck yeah I am!" Naruto cried. "When do I leave?"
"Well Kankurou, Temari," Tsunade said grinning. "Looks like we got a three man squad."

Hinata followed in a daze behind Kisame who was leading them through the forest. She hadn't said anything in days and she was still silent. Kisame was worried and tried to get her to talk every now and then.
"Almost there!" Kisame said excitedly, turning to look at the blank Hyuuga heiress.
Suddenly they stopped, making Hinata bump into Kisame's back. Her white eyes drifted up to meet Kisame's.
"Guess what, Hyuuga-chan?" Kisame said leaning down to her eye level. "You have two new people who are going to bring you to Akatsuki, okay?"
"Kisame, I think we can take it from here un," a buoyant voice said from behind the giant shark man.
Kisame narrowed in annoyance and pushed Hinata in front of him to face two new Akatsuki members. One was a tall silent red head with dark colored eyes the other was a grinning longhaired blonde with one visible blue. Hinata stood her mouth a gape before leaping onto the blonde, startling all four Akatsuki.
"I missed you so much!" the Hyuuga sobbed onto Deidara's shoulder.
"Do you know this girl, Deidara?" Sasori asked.
"No, un. Never seen her in my life," Deidara said, wrapping his arms around Hinata to support her weight.
"I love you so much Naruto-kun…" she mumbled just loud enough for the explosives expert to hear.
"So Deidara how does she know you?" Itachi asked.
A grin spread across the blondes face as he shifted her a little and began to walk away, but not before calling back.
"Just call me Naruto-kun, un!"
