CHAPTER 15
Hey, I'm back. Sorry it took me so long, but here's chapter fifteen for you. Note: my microsoft word isnt working still, so i wrote this on WordPad, and it might be a little bit smaller than my origional chapter, because i had to rewrite it... stupid word... but enjoy, and i apologise for it beign smaller and stuff...
WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE: Mostly.… stupid homework and stuff. Honestly, who really wants to answer, "Make a statement about the density of metals compared to non-metals. Are there any exceptions to this statement?" WHAT THE HELL? I DON'T CARE! And stupid Deductive Geometry – I seriously failed that test… so I'm pretty sure I'm getting a D… well, I guess you all know I hate maths and science…. Oh, and don't even mention Soc, I mean, the stupid industrial revolution, that got old after that four-page statement we had to write about child labour!
Sorry, lol. So I should shut up, because I'm getting a little bit off topic, and I should get back to the fic :).

Last time:
Leaving the room, not long later, they approached the smirking Sasuke, who was sitting on one of the seats outside of their hotel. "Took you long enough."
Naruto grinned at his brother, "I was simply savouring the moment." Before setting the reverse summoning scroll out, open, on the floor, "I'll miss ya, bro. Take care of yourself and my girl. Any guy other than me ties to make a move on her, kill 'em… or just make sure they regret it. But I'd prefer the first option."
Sasuke smirked, "Will do. You look after yourself too. Okay? And get Roki to get us to summon you when you want to drop by, okay?"
"Catch ya later brother." Naruto smiled, biting his thumb, kissing Hinata on the cheek, and slamming his hand onto the seal already created on the scroll, suddenly disappearing in a puff of smoke.

Hinata, Sasuke and Roki were on the road to the land of waves, but both of them felt so different without Naruto walking with them, asking every two minutes if they were there yet and how long it would take.
"It's really quiet without Naruto. I would've thought that I'd be glad he isn't asking me how long it's gonna take every minute, but at least I could argue with him and when we were arguing it seemed to go so much quicker." Sasuke sighed, looking ahead of them as they walked down a dirt path.
"I know how you feel." Hinata smiled, "I guess we aren't used to quiet, are we?"
"Yeah. Oh well, I guess we've got to go to wave and research about the seven deadly sins. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."
Hinata thought for a second, "I wonder what would've happened if Naruto didn't end up coming with us? Right at the start of our journey."
"It sure would've been different. But what surprises me is the fact that we haven't seen a speck of Akatsuki while we've been wandering."
"I think that might be because we are getting pretty famous. I've already killed two of them, Naruto and I then killed another later on, so they're probably suspicious and know they can't take us on all three of us at once. If I was Akatsuki, I'd try to split us all up, and then, in groups of two, take us out. Because that'd probably be the only way to get us." Hinata added thoughtfully.
Sasuke gave her a surprised look, "Whatever you do, don't go to the Akatsuki. We'd all be done for." He complimented, shocked at her way of thinking.
Hinata smiled at him, "Thank you Sasuke-nii. But I'm nowhere as good as someone like Shikamaru. And Akatsuki aren't dumb, they might already have that idea. But I reckon we can take them on. We have the Byakugan, Sharingan, the apprentices of two of the legendary Sanin, and two jinchuurikis. Once you think about that. We have a pretty awesome team."
Sasuke smirked at his little sister, "I really think Naruto's starting to rub off of you, imouto. You have changed so much from the shy little girl in the academy."
"Arigato."
** DEMON COUPLE **
Sasuke was sitting out, watching the fire flicker in the night, as Hinata slept quietly in her sleeping bag. He didn't want to sleep yet, because the night was so calm, and refreshing. He enjoyed sitting out, watching the stars.
Hinata woke up with a start. She sighed loudly to herself. "Another nightmare…" She wished that they'd go away, but it wouldn't get out of her head. She'd been having them ever since her confrontation with Lust.
"Imouto? What do you mean 'another nightmare'?" Sasuke asked from beside the fire, he didn't know his little sister was having nightmares, "Did Naruto know you're having nightmares?"
Hinata sighed, she thought he was asleep. Sitting up, Hinata took a seat next to Sasuke by the fire. "No." She said quietly. But she knew now she was going to have to talk about them.
Roki walked up and sat next to her, licking her on the arm, bright blue eyes regarding her curiously.
"Is Naruto listening?" Sasuke asked the Kitsune, earning a bark and nod in reply. "Okay, Hinata? You really should talk about it."
She sighed again, "Really, it's nothing. I've just been having nightmares. ."
"You'll feel better if you talk about it, Imouto." Sasuke urged gently, watching his sister pat Roki absently.
"Well, I've been having them ever since… Lust. It isn't anything really. I just haven't got over it I guess. I'm fine. Really." Hinata smiled at Sasuke reassuringly.
A wave of guilt washed over Sasuke, "I'm sorry for making you do that Hinata. It was my idea that we use you as bait. I'm sorry." He felt really bad for putting her through this.
"It's okay. It was the only way, right? Anyway, I'm fine. They're just nightmares. I'll get over them soon enough." Her smile faltered for a second and Roki let out a low whine.
Sasuke knew she was lying. "No you won't. But me and Naruto will be there. We'll help you out. Did something happen?" He was curious.
Hinata sighed again, "I… freeze up. When someone gets too close for comfort. But not you or Naruto, because I feel safe around you guys."
"What do you mean?"
"It happened the morning we were leaving. This guy came up to me, and I was pushed up against the wall. I was about to fight back but I saw the look in his eyes. I froze up. He was practically dripping with lust. But then this other guy tripped over and knocked him over snapping me out of it…. And I just ran." She looked away, into the fire while Roki was growling and Sasuke was deep in thought.
"Roki. What does Naruto think we should do?" Sasuke asked for his friends input, but Roki just continued to growl, making Sasuke sigh, "Other than beat the crap out of the guy that came up to her."
Roki fell silent after that. And Hinata let out a sigh, watching Sasuke continue to think it through. "I think," Sasuke started, "For the meantime, I'll just keep an eye on guys around you. But if I'm not around, take a deep breath and calm yourself down. Or, before they get to close, and you know what's going to happen, make a run for it and find me straight away. I'll set them straight."
Hinata smiled and hugged him, "Thank you Sasuke-nii." And laughed when Roki let out a whimper and hugged the fox too.
"Now we should really get to sleep." Sasuke said with a yawn, and slipped into his own sleeping bag, while Roki curled up next to Hinata, because Naruto was still uncomfortable with the situation and wanted to be with her.
** DEMON COUPLE **
Two weeks later, when the sun was almost directly above the ninja's heads, Sasuke and Hinata had finally reached the land of waves.
"Well we should find a hotel, and then head out to the library or something." Sasuke decided, Hinata nodding in agreement as she followed him.
Soon enough, Hinata and Sasuke were standing out the front of the library, with Roki at their side. Walking inside, they came up to the counter, where a very pretty tall blonde was standing, her sandy-blond hair in a long braid, "Hello. Did you want any help?" She smiled, her chocolate brown eyes watching them curiously.
"Yes, please. We're looking for any information you have on the seven deadly sins." Hinata raised an eyebrow at Sasuke's slightly pink face as he and the young librarian locked eyes.
The librarian was a little startled at those words, and glanced curiously at Hinata, "Why would you want to know about them?"
Sasuke and Hinata noticed the slight tinge of suspicion in her voice, as if she was cautious, "Research for a project we're working on." Sasuke answered smoothly.
"Ah… Right. This way please." The long blond-haired librarian blushed and walked across the isles, "I'm Sahana by the way." She added as an afterthought.
"I'm Hinata, and this is Sasuke." Hinata smiled kindly.
Sahana froze this time, spinning around to look straight at Sasuke and Hinata, "You're… you're… do you know a Naruto by any chance?"
Sasuke smirked, "Well, one dobe comes to mind."
She blushed prettily as Sasuke looked at her, "I need your help!... wait… you're looking up the seven deadly sins for a different reason aren't you?"
"Research." Hinata insisted.
Sahana gave her a doubtful look. "Please tell me you're doing what I think you're doing. Can we go somewhere private? I really need to talk to you." After an unsure look from the duo she continued, "Please? My father, Tsuhiko-"
As soon as his name came out of Sahana's mouth, she had their attention, Sasuke cut her off, "Let's go."
** DEMON COUPLE **
The trio were now sitting in a booth of a restaurant, and Sasuke and Hinata we're somewhat surprised when Sahana put up a silence seal, so no-one would hear their conversation. But now they knew that Sahana was a ninja.
"Sahana-san," Hinata started.
"Please, call me Hana." She interrupted politely.
"Hana-san, are you a ninja?"
Sahana smiled gently at the small girl, "Not a very good one. I'm more of a medic nin that specializes in venoms."
"Don't ever doubt your ability as a ninja, it will only stuff things up." Sasuke said, giving a look to Hinata remembering when she was like that.
Hinata let out a sigh, "Trust me, as soon as you start believing in yourself you'll get better…" She trailed off, wondering why she was like that. You can't just naturally be that unbelieving in yourself, for Hinata, it was the fact that she was beaten regularly and called worthless, "You were abused mentally and/or physically as a child, weren't you?"
Sahana was startled at that true bit of information, "How do you know?" She got a little bit defensively.
Hinata just smiled reassuringly, "I think you've realised who Sasuke and I are by now…?" after a nod from Sahana she continued, "You and I probably had a similar upbringing. I was the worthless failure of the Hyuuga clan, beaten and bruised regularly. Only something like that would make someone not believe in yourself as you do and I used to. I know it's hard, but you have to believe in yourself. And stop trying to please the people who hurt you, it won't work."
Sahana's complete attention was on Hinata, "What did you do, Hinata-chan? How did you start believing yourself?"
Hinata sighed, "Well, my clan were trying to kill me, for reasons I intend to keep secret, and I ran. Became a missing nin and grew confidence while I was on my own."
Sahana gave her a sympathetic look, "That must've been hard."
"Now, we need to know everything about Tsuhiko." Sasuke changed the topic.
Sahana nodded, "My father, he was once a Konoha shinobi. But he started experimenting learning to experiment like his sensei – Orochimaru…"
Sasuke looked over at Hinata, "Well, we got rid of Orochimaru, so lets hope he didn't surpass his sensei."
Hinata grinned, "But this time you'll have me."
Sasuke chuckled, ruffling her hair before turning back to Sahana, "Why did he leave the village?"
"He was caught experimenting on humans. So they threw him out. But he continued, and soon enough, he heard about the seven deadly sins. He found them quite interesting and it took him three years to complete them – which was about a year ago. He placed the souls and minds of the seven deadly sins and summoned them into the bodies of six men and one woman. Although, it didn't turn out quite as planned. The bodies weren't strong enough to carry the sins without any side effects, and the bodies mutated."
Sasuke and Hinata were taking it all in, "Do you know anything else about the sins?"
"No. I've never met them. My father and I had a fight, and I'm staying here – in wave – for a while, working at the library for money." Sahana apologised.
"It's okay, Hana-chan. I guess we can head back to the library and find out all we can on the seven deadly sins?" Sasuke smiled once again at the girl, making her blush as they all walked to the library.
Hinata smirked, wondering if anyone else noticed he called her 'chan'.
** DEMON COUPLE **
Hinata sat on her bed, sighing and looking up at the ceiling she had just spent hours and hours in the library with Sasuke and Hana and she was exhausted. Hinata had left, but Hana and Sasuke were still in the library looking through books and unknowingly flirting with each other. Hinata smiled to herself, a little sadly as she noticed how close Sasuke and Hana were getting. She was getting close to Hana too, because they were so much alike, she was a little surprised though when Hana called her 'imouto' for the first time. So in return, Hinata started calling her Hana-nee, but seeing Hana and Sasuke together, looking so much like a couple, just made her miss Naruto more.
She looked up when she saw the door edge open, and Roki come inside and sit next to her on the bed.
Hinata smiled at him, and patted the overly large fox, "I used to do this all the time with Misaki when it was just the two of us."
Roki made a whimpering noise and licked her on the arm.
"Is Naruto listening?" She asked the dog, earning a bark in affirmation.
"Good. Well, I miss you. I know it's only been three weeks, but you've missed out on a lot. Sasuke-nii and I have been working heaps, looking up the seven deadly sins, and they are: Lust, Envy, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Pride and Gluttony. We worked out that these beings were created, and the best way we could kill them is to pin them up against each other." Hinata recalled, petting Roki casually as she recounted.
"Oh, and you'll be happy to know that our Sasuke has found himself a girlfriend. Well, neither of them will admit it, but I can tell that they both like each other. Her name is Sahana, and I know you'd approve of her. She is very nice, and you'd be here annoying the hell out of them if you could. She's the daughter of Tsuhiko though, but you can trust her, and know that she is on our side. She wants her father stopped, and I can't help but feel a connection with her, because both of us have grown up with abusive fathers. It kind of sucks though, seeing those two together. It just makes me miss you even more." Roki let out another whine and licked her on the cheek. "Yeah, I love you too. I know there are so many things that you want to tell me, but you can't and I know you'll ace that training. Good luck, and I love you. I'm going to go see what the love birds have found out." Hinata stood up and left the room.
