A/N: Yeah so here's another chapter. Sorry for the long wait but now I'm on break so I vow to put up two chapters. This chapter should be rated around M because Hidan is in here and we all know what his mouth is like! Please bare with me people when it comes to the battle part. I don't think that I'm very good at it so I'm open for constructive criticism on anything. Oh and I was thinking about ending this soon, what do you all think? Oh and warning slight spoiler.

Chapter 16:
Instinct more then anything forced Hinata to move away from Sasori who glared down at the Katana. Her brain began to run at a thousand miles a minute as she tried to remember what she was doing here and who the red head in front of her was. Then it finally came back, the Genjutsu and being kidnapped. Her eyes fell on the young man in front of her once again and he grabbed the Katana with his bare hand and slid it out not a single drop of blood coming from his wound. And again her eyes were drawn to the red clouds on his black cloak. The full force of the situation hit her like a speeding train. This man, a man she had given her life to, was an Akatsuki member, which explained why he wasn't bleeding.
"Come here, Hinata-san," Sasori said, calmly disregarding the katana.
"No," Hinata said meekly, slightly curious about how he knew her name and if she told him how much more he knew.
"Demo, I need to protect you Hinata-san," he beckoned her in his most alluring voice.
Hinata actually had to fight her body for control and was able to back up a step. Sasori looked like he had almost pouted at her retreating gesture.
"Fine, I was going to let you do this your way but I guess now it's time to do it the easier way," he said flicking his wrist briefly.
That was all it took and Hinata found that she couldn't move. She struggled at the invisible bounds around her.
"Onegai, save your strength you'll need it to survive long enough," Sasori said bored.
The tears stung her eyes as she defied his will and still struggled. She had the vague feeling of being a puppet and her master being the red head. Hinata's eyes slid shut briefly, but that was all it took for her resolve to surface and when her eyes opened they shone with defiance. Her right hand was slightly moveable so she reached slowly and inconspicuously toward her kunai pouch. Sasori noticed this almost immediately and tightened the chakra strings around her making her gasp in pain. Luckily for her she didn't need the kunai as the clearing shook with the force of a distant explosion, making Sasori fall a little off balance and freeing Hinata from the chakra strings.
After composing herself Hinata ran at Sasori filling her hands with chakra and aiming at where his liver would be. But as her hand collided with the Akatsuki's body a low thunk rang through her ears. Hinata mentally yelled at herself he had to have armor underneath. She jumped back and activated her Byakugan; her voice caught as she realized this man wasn't wearing armor but was a simple hollow shell. Her Byakugan scanned up and down looking for his one weak point, and that's when her eyes rested on a single beating organ left, the heart.
Forcing a dangerous amount of chakra into her hand, that would be lethal to a ninja her age and even a little older, and charged. Sasori watched amused, just as her hand was about to hit its mark Sasori grabbed her arm and pulled her near before dodging a sound ninja that had thrown himself at him.
"Well it's nice to finally meet you Sasuke-san," Sasori said looking down at the dark haired teen.
Hinata wiggled slightly so she could catch a glimpse of the boy. Dark obsidian eyes flicked over to her momentarily before going back to glaring at the Akatsuki member. But even in those brief seconds Hinata could tell that it was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.
"Just let the Hyuuga go and tell me where Itachi is!" Sasuke hissed.
"Gomen I can't do either." Sasori said holding Hinata tighter as if to prove his point.
"Then I will have to make you," Sasuke said charging the puppet Akatsuki.
Sasori stood still, confident that Sasuke wouldn't dare to try and hurt Hinata. But as the young Uchiha got closer he made it evident that he would strike Hinata down to if that meant he would get what he wanted. At the last second Sasori threw Hinata away from him and disappeared into a puff of smoke. Sasuke cursed under his breath and sheathed his katana before glaring at Hinata.
"Get over here Hyuuga," Sasuke spat, pointing at the spot next to him.
Hinata shook her head and retreated a step. Sasuke sighed and ran a hand through his hair before turning to her once more with a softer expression.
"I can't have you getting hurt, come here, please?" Sasuke said, almost making Hinata smile.
Sasuke smirked as she began to walk to him but it soon turned into a scowl as a familiar blonde appeared between them.
"Hey Hinata-chan!" Deidara cried then turned to face the Uchiha. "Well look! If it isn't the little Itachi clone himself un!"
Unfortunately Deidara was unaware of the lethal mistake he just made. Painfully slow Sasuke drew his katana once again and his lips turned in a sadistic smile.
"I would say that you will live to regret those words but you're going to die right here right now. Hyuuga if you wish to live I suggest you leave," Sasuke said, his eyes never leaving Deidara.
Hinata nodded and turned to run away, but didn't miss Deidara as he shouted after her.
"Watch out for Hidan un, he can be a real bastard!"
Her heart pounded as she attempted to migrate through the woods on her own. The trees passed by in a blur and it made Hinata want to puke. Her insides burned and she felt like she was going to die if she didn't stop soon. Finally she found a clearing and sat behind a tree so she would be out of sight. She activated her Byakugan and watched. A sound ninja appeared in the clearing and looked around worriedly.
"I'm guessing that fucker Orochimaru sent you," a deep voice growled.
Both Hinata and the sound ninja searched for the source of the voice. Her white eyes finally locked onto a man dressed in the customary Akatsuki cloak standing on a tree limb across from Hinata. He looked like an ordinary man except for his pale lavender hair and the huge scythe attached to his back. The sound ninja backed up slightly before scowling at him.
"Orochimaru-sama sent us to capture the Hyuuga, it has nothing to do with you!" the sound ninja cried, but there knees shook as their eyes lingered on the mans scythe.
"Oh so he's after that bitch to huh?" he said lazily before grinning down at the sound ninja. "You're a worthless piece of shit compared to me and I really should find the Hyuuga, but I think I'll have some fun first!"
With that the man jumped from the tree and landed in front of the sound ninja. With one move the man unlatched his scythe and swung at the sound ninja. At first it looked as if the ninja had successfully dodged it, but then, without a single drop of blood the ninja's head fell of its shoulders and onto the ground. The Hyuuga deactivated her Byakugan and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt something bump lightly against her hand she looked down and saw the sound ninja's head.
She jumped to her feet and clasped her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming. Backing up she failed to notice the root of the tree sticking up and tripped over it ungraciously. Her eyes immediately snapped up and landed on the smirking face of the Akatsuki member.
"Well hello there," he said. "My name is Hidan and I'm assuming you're that fucking Hyuuga right?"
Hinata flinched at his mouth; she had been taught that people who said such things were unworthy of being in the presence of a Hyuuga. She was suddenly aware of a large hand coming toward her. She quickly rolled away her Byakugan activating itself in the process. Primal instinct took over, this man was a predator and her the prey. But this prey wasn't going down without a fight.
Hidan was somewhat impressed as the Hyuuga scrambled to her feet. There were so many that would cower at his feet, in yet such a small frail girl defied him.
"Stop being difficult you little bitch, just come with me," Hidan said.
Hinata shook her head no and ran at him, her palms glowing with blue chakra. To her surprise the man didn't even try to dodge it and took the blow she had aimed at his lungs. The teen was too shocked to do anything as she felt a big rough calloused hand close around her own small one.
"Hate to break it to you," Hidan said, his smile growing wider. "I'm immortal."
His grip on her hand tightened and he spun her around so that her back was facing him. A small twist of her wrist and pain shot through her arm. She bit her lip to keep from screaming.
"Unfortunately for you, I was only told to bring you back alive."
Hinata kicked Hidan as hard as she could in the stomach and propelled herself forward and out of his grip. She hit the ground running and only stopped when she was sure she was a safe distance away from the sadist. Her Byakugan eyes locked onto Hidan as he simply stood in the spot he was in before. Her eyes flickered to her wrist as she gave it an experimental twist and she almost smiled when she realized he hadn't broken it.
Against Hidan her gentle fist would be almost completely useless. She could still see his chakra system and it would be easy enough to attack. An idea struck her almost instantly, she turned tail and ran. She heard a scoff and then realized that he was following her, something that wouldn't help her at all. As quickly as she could she began the hand signs for a clone jutsu. Hidan noticed that the girls chakra flared, meaning that a jutsu would soon be preformed. He caught up to her with ease and lifted her off the ground and slammed her against a tree holding her by her neck.
The clone disappeared in a puff of smoke and Hidan turned a little surprised she finished the jutsu before he caught up to her. He saw a glint of metal and instinctively lifted his hand to cover his face. Hinata's kunai sliced through his skin and almost cut his hand clean off. As soon as the kunai passed almost half way through his wrist Hinata gasped and quickly pulled the kunai out.
"You little bitch! I was using that!" Hidan snarled as he took his other hand and ripped the dangling one off.
Hinata swallowed the vomit that had welled in her throat as the discarded hand lay on the ground. When Hidan took a step she was brought back to reality.
"Since you cut off my hand it's my turn," he said smiling, as he gripped his scythe.
Hinata barely moved in time as the scythe came awfully close to her hand. She now stumbled through the dense trees, Hidan close behind her. He swung heavily at her and she ducked just in time as it lodged itself in the tree in front of her. Ducking under his arm she stood behind him contemplating what to do next. Suddenly a large object flew into her range of vision. Without thinking about it was Hinata dropped to the ground and rolled away from Hidan.
Almost silently Hidan's head fell from his shoulders and onto Hinata's lap. She shrieked and leapt to her feet and ran as fast and as far as she could. Soon enough she had to stop to take a breather. Arms then wrapped around her waist and startled the Hyuuga.
"Please don't fight me Hyuuga-sama," the sound ninja whispered. "I'm here to protect you."
Luckily the Hyuuga heiress didn't believe this for one second and immediately cut off the circulation to the sound ninja's hands. He released her and experimented with his hands.
"Awesome jutsu un!" Deidara said as he walked toward them.
The sound ninja leapt at her again and this time Hinata closed the rest of the chakra holes in his arms. Again the ninja was taken aback and shook his arms as if it would help. Deidara chuckled as he approached; reaching into his cloak he pulled out a small white glob. Making a quick hand sign it grew larger and revealed itself to be a spider. Finally he reached Hinata who was too confused to do anything, and stood behind her wrapping his free arm around her neck.
"I'm afraid this is the end for you," his smiled widened as he threw the spider at the panic stricken sound ninja. "Katsu!" he said, before quickly disappearing with Hinata in his arms.
In a large explosion the sound ninja was killed, the only thing left his scorched head banned. Although they were moving increasingly faster Hinata still felt the heat of the massive fireball. After what felt like forever Deidara stopped and placed her on the ground. Catching him off Guard she attacked his chakra system.
"Eight trigrams! Sixty-four palms!" Hinata said softly just as Deidara turned.
He hit the ground hard and laid still, Hinata finally began to run on her own, quite aware that the Akatsuki had already began to repair himself. She stopped abruptly, shaking her head she tried to move once more but still she did not budge.
Her white eyes glared at her legs only then noticing to vines wrapped tightly around her ankles. She fought against them in vain and looked up as a huge man appeared in the clearing.
"It seems that we finally caught the Hyuuga," the man said.
He had a mask like Kakashi, and his eyes were hidden from her view, however the strangest thing was that instead of having one heart he had seven.
"Should I take her to the lair?" a new voice asked from behind her.
She turned her head just enough to see another Akatsuki. Her eyes widened and she almost wet herself. This man was absolutely huge! And that wasn't even the scariest part, there was a huge Venus flytrap attached to his head. With one movement of the masked man the world went black.
