Hinata of Awakening: Part 2

The sound of water dripping could be heard echoing off in the distance. This signified that this was a large room. Hinata shook her head, which caused it to ache terribly. Whatever genjutsu was applied to her had messed up her head badly. She opened her eyes slowly, trying to find her bearings, to find she couldn't. The room was immensely dark… she could barely see her own body below her.

Hinata moved, or at least tried to, to find that she was tied up. There were ropes around her torso and legs, binding them respectively to the chair she could feel she was in. She tried to move her fingers to do a jutsu, but couldn't. The only answer she could find to this was that someone had put ninja handcuffs on her. She tried to scream, only to find that she was gagged as well. Within seconds Hinata went into panic mode. This situation only brought up bad memories… Memories she had been trying to forget…

She wrestled a bit more against her restraints as she tried to get free. She started shaking more and more violently. The chair started to shake back and forth, and one could hear her screaming against the gag in her mouth. Tears started to flow down her face as she slowly felt her sanity drain. She started to breathe faster and faster… It was all happening again…

"H-hinata? Is… is that you over there Hinata?" asked a voice from a various distance away. It was weak and shaky, but was familiar all the same. Hinata couldn't answer, so she settled for a weak grunt of approval.

"Thank goodness! You're okay Hinata! I was so worried when they said they were going after the Hyuuga heiress next… But you're okay… I'm so happy…" the voice said. Another voice decided to speak up at this point.

"Tenten… so it is Hinata… she's okay right?" asked the second voice, just as weak and shaky as the first.

The first voice, who she recognized as Tenten, responded, "Yes, Sakura… she's okay… how's Ino doing?"

The second voice, who was observed as Sakura answered, "Yes… she just… she just passed out a little while ago… if we make it out…" Hinata squeaked at this… "My bad… when we make it out, she should be okay…" Hinata seemed to calm down at Sakura's reassurance. Just as her nerves started to return to normal, lights sprang to life in the area they were in, and it was revealed it was a rather large abandoned warehouse.

Hinata winced; her eyes were not adjusted to the bright lights. She could now see exactly how her friends were. Tenten and Sakura were tied up in the same predicament as she was, but only they weren't gagged. Ino was passed out on a bench nearby, completely unrestrained. She could have been of help had she not been unconscious, or fully clothed. Hinata's mind raced as she wondered why this would be.

A voice rang out from behind Hinata. It was male, and deep.

"Ah, I see you're awake, my little powerful princess. How was your nap?"

Hinata's spine tingled as she listened to the almost sadistic tone the man had. She heard his footsteps as he walked closer and closer to her.

"Hmm, what's that? Can't speak? That's alright; you're not supposed to be able to… We wouldn't want that demon you've been hanging out with… You know, that Naru-kun? Yeah, him… we wouldn't want him to be able to find you anytime soon, now would we? We heard that he has some very good hearing…"

Hinata could feel her nerves begin to unravel again.

"We have been planning this for months… do you know why?" Hinata didn't answer.

The man giggled, "I said… DO YOU KNOW WHY?" he asked again, anger evident. Hinata shivered, but managed to shake her head no. These bindings were grating on her in all the wrong ways.

"Hey, you leave Hinata alone!" Sakura yelled, trying to stand up for her. She screamed to her loudest, before being slapped by the man.

"Shut up! Before we have to cut something out, you hear Pinky?"

Hinata could see the man now. He was tall, easily 6 feet. He was big, and burly, and had a mean face that would make a crying baby silence. He approached Hinata again, anger mostly abated.

"We had been planning this… because… of you… You clan ninjas are the reason. So big and bad… So proud of your little techniques and blood limits… The hokage always prefers you over us. You guys get the fame while we normal ninja are swept aside… Did you know I was supposed to be a jonin? But while I was taking the test, the person I was fighting against used one of his "clan jutsu". In all other aspects we were pretty much even, but damn… his little mind control jutsu… the damn Yamanaka clan… I was forced to give up before I even had a chance… I will enjoy the look on their faces when they see what I'll do to their little heir, but before that… There's a small little matter… The Hyuuga… There are Yamanaka who aren't talented enough to learn Mind Swap; there are Akimichi who just never gain the necessary weight… But you Hyuuga, you always get your doujutsu. The byakugan never fails to show up in any of you little brats. You're the biggest enemy of all of us hardworking ninja…" he said as he pulled out a knife, "but don't worry… we won't have to worry about that anymore. Now that we have you, we can get a pretty hefty fix to that problem." He lifted his knife to her face. The blade was held mere inches away from her eyes and inched slowly closer. Hinata could feel the memories rushing back. She whimpered… she cried hard… She could almost feel the cold steel approaching her, even though her eyes were closed. She was gripped with a fear she had thought long gone…

Then just like that, she wasn't. She opened her eyes, and saw the blade was so very close. She knew she should be scared, but it just wasn't there anymore. She wondered why. The big man snapped his fingers, and several other men stepped out from the shadows and moved over to her friends, much to their protest. Still the fear she held, or at least should have held, just wasn't there. She could see the man moving his lips, now in slow motion. She was sure he was gloating, but could hear none of his words. She wondered what was happening, and for a second could swear she was going crazy, when it happened. A flash of orange, yellow and red appeared in the corner of her inactivated eye, and for the first time since she woke up in that warehouse, she smiled.

XxX

The blade swung back.

The girl's eyes closed.

It flew forward.

And now there was a knife in the eye of one Hyuuga heiress…

XxX

Before she exploded into a log.

Confusion was evident in the faces of the multiple men in the room. They looked around wildly for the place where the Hyuuga heiress could have disappeared to. They didn't have to wait long, though. Seconds after Hinata disappeared, a yellow flash reappeared where she was. An enraged Naruto, now coated in a thick, bubbly coat of red chakra rushed forward and proceeded to punch the tall man in the gut, causing him to cough up blood. With a simple twist of his fist and an expulsion of chakra, Naruto managed to twist the insides of his enemy beyond repair. The man flew back, spiraling the entire way, until he broke through the wall at the back of the warehouse. The men looked on in horror and shock at their new foe.

Naruto's red cloak was now receding, and it was easier to see him. His face, while a look of complete calm, barely hiding the anger boiling just underneath. The KI being given off was astronomical, and some of the men passed out as he walked right passed them to the place he left Hinata. Naruto was wearing an orange long sleeved jacket with a single black stripe running across his chest and down the sleeves. Another stripe ran down the left side of the open jacket, and underneath was a black t-shirt. He wore orange pants with a black stripe down each leg of the pant, and black sneakers with orange stripes. He went behind some crates and picked up a girl in a white and lavender jacket. Under it she was wearing a white dress with a lavender tone. The bottom darkened and the tips of the skirt were deep lavender. She wore white pumps with lavender wavy lines along the sides. She looked stunning, she was unconscious, and she was Hinata.

Naruto walked back, and passed the ninjas again. They were now mostly over their shock. They prepared their weapons and were about to charge when a faint buzzing noise reverberated throughout the room. It caused them to hesitate, but their posture returned almost immediately.

"Take this, boy!" one yelled, as he threw a kunai. Naruto kept walking, not stopping for a second. The kunai flew straight and true towards its target, before it was stopped from impaling the back of Naruto's head. Naruto stopped, but never turned around.

"I would thank you, teme, but-"

"Shut the hell up, baka. I'm not here for you." Sasuke said, before disappearing in a swirl of leaves. He reappeared next to the ninja near Sakura, knocking them out immediately. He proceeded to bend down and start to undo her bindings.

"Sa-Sasuke…" she started.

"Shut the hell up idiots! If I have to tell you again I'll leave you here!" he screamed. His eyes were red.

His sharingan hadn't activated yet…

More ninjas ran forward to combat the new foe. Kicks and punches were thrown at the duck haired boy, but they were all blocked by a wall of buzzing… insects?

"I would find it illogical to proceed. My friends are already mad about the way you treated their friend…" the normally quiet Shino said, standing over the surprised figure of Tenten.

"I heard about you… you're Shino… an Aburame…" she said.

"…" Shino raised his hands, and the caught ninjas were encased in a cloud of Kikkai bugs. After a few seconds they fell out, drained of chakra.

The last of the remaining ninja were scared. Their leader might have been chuunin material, but they were lucky to make genin. They started to run away, before turning around and starting several explosive tags tied to kunai. They were about to throw it at the ninja and the unconscious girl, before they found out that they couldn't. They couldn't move at all anymore, really. Out from the shadows stepped a pineapple headed boy. His eyes were droopy and his voice was tired, but a small hint of anger could be seen on his face.

"This is so damn troublesome… I almost didn't come. Naruto made a solid point though. I don't like the way you treated my friends." Shikamaru said, stepping forward and in front of the body of Ino, almost protectively. This caused the ninjas to move to accommodate the length of the shadow, moving away from the group.

"I hope you like the choices you made in life. This is surely your last" he finished, as the explosive tags ticked down to their end. They exploded, and the ninjas were engulfed in flames. He turned around and picked up the Yamanaka. By now Sasuke had put Sakura on his back and was halfway out the door. Shino put Tenten on his as well, and strapped her in with his bugs. She looked a little creeped but was tired out from the ordeal, so she just leaned into him, finally collapsing. He passed by Naruto second, who was still standing still, never having moved.

"Thanks, Naruto…" he said as he passed.

Shikamaru was the last to pass Naruto, holding Ino, who was now covered by his shirt. He was about to leave as well, when his senses kicked in and he tilted his head, dodging a kunai. He turned around, to see the same man who acted as the leader.

"W-where do you think you're going… clan trash…" he started, drawing another kunai. He charged forward, kunai in hand, ready to impale the kids before him.

'Crap' thought Shikamaru as he wracked his brain trying to figure out what to do. He was still holding Ino, and Naruto seemed not to be able to respond. The man was now on top of them, ready to swing the kunai, when seals started to appear all over his body. The man froze, collapsing to the ground, a near lifeless husk.

"The… hell…" the man started, clearly surprised.

"You know" Naruto started, in a nice small tone, "if you stopped being so damn jealous of what other people have, and enjoy what you do have, then maybe the old man would notice you more."

"You… have no idea… of our pain…" he continued.

"No, you have no idea of ours. You had a small army of men here that acknowledged you, we only had each other. Over time we worked harder for each other, and eventually we got other people to see us too. I hope you learn too." He finished, as he walked out, not having once turned around. Shikamaru followed close behind, feeling a sense of obligation as he walked behind Naruto, and whatever aura he was giving.

"Stupid… clan… idiots! I will get my revenge!" the man screamed. He quickly closed his mouth when he felt several blades against the back of his neck. Two trench knives, two kunai and a spike were all concentrated on one spot.

"Y'know, I wouldn't", said Asuma, his cigarette turning, almost being burnt out from the amount of stress. Asuma was not happy.

"It's never a good idea to mess with a jonin's students… y'know." Kurenai continued, KI rolling off of her.

"We now have the right to kill you… y'know", Kakashi finished lazily, his eye twitching uncontrollably.

"Y-you wouldn't dare…" the man started, only to be cut off.

"You're right, we wouldn't… It would be most unyouthful for us to. That honor, we leave to them." Gai said, pointing to the now full door. Hiashi Hyuuga, Inoichi Yamanaka and Tenten's dad all walked in, closing the door silently behind them. Screams would be heard if there weren't silencing seals placed there beforehand. Thanks to the influence of Sakura's mom and dad, there was no question about what happened to some of their ninja.

XxX

Hinata opened her eyes to find she was on top of the Hokage Monument again. Her body ached a bit, and the pain brought back the memories of what had happened earlier today. She shivered, almost wanting to go back to sleep, when he felt herself being grabbed from behind. When she looked down, she found a pair of orange arms wrapped around her.

"I missed you today…" Naruto said, causing Hinata to gasp. She held his hands, and pulled him closer, wrapping his arms around her more.

"I missed you too, Naru-kun.."

So how was it? Did I live up to your expectations? Next chapter we begin the story anew, Hiashi's plan, and so many other mysteries will start to be revealed... maybe :)
