Chapter Eight
Two years has passed since that day and Sasuke and Hinata were still with Orochimaru and in a new hideout in an unnamed village. Things have changed so far. There have been new members to join up with Orochimaru. But they're two that Hinata mainly see around the lair; although she seen the one more so than the other. They're names were Raiden and Takeshi.
Raiden looked to be around his late twenties. He was tall, long white hair pulled up in a pony tail; he wore a black and white kimono, a sword hanging off of the belt. Raiden was a stoic looking man, but that was just how he would look but Raiden was a very kind man to everyone in Orochimaru's new hideout. His abilities were mainly lighting and thunder attacks. He wasn't very skilled when it came to taijutsu.
Then there was Takeshi who was nineteen years old and one year younger than Kabuto. Takeshi is very short for his age, he is actually the same height as Hinata and she is a head shorter than Sasuke. Takeshi has short red spiky hair but wears a cap on his head, he doesn't wear a shirt (which makes it difficult when Hinata is around him) but he wears black baggy pants with chains hanging from them. Takeshi is a very arrogant person thinking he can defeat anyone even challenging Orochimaru himself…of course he lost in that fight. Takeshi can be really hot tempered but the only person that can calm him down is Hinata. Takeshi was just like Lee when it came to attacks, Just like Lee he knows no Genjutsu or Ninjutsu he just knows Taijutsu. But he is from a very strong bloodline…but it also a mystery as to what he can do. The most people has seen is his eyes when he is angry just one look and it can paralyze a person but it is unknown what he can do with that technique.
He has known Hinata for a year in a half now and he has begun to think of her as he younger sister, he even calls her Hinata-imooto (which means younger sister).
But over the two years Hinata noticed that Orochimaru isn't mean towards her like he use to be and he actually treats her with kindness. But over the past year Sasuke and Suki have become closer and just like Orochimaru said a two years ago Sasuke is slowly pushing Hinata to the side.
Everyday it's Suki this and Suki that or I'm going to train with Suki. Hinata gets tired of it but never says anything about it she just hangs around Kabuto like she always does and if not him Takeshi.
She sighed causing Takeshi to look at her. "What's the matter Hinata-imooto?" He asked as he gave her a concerned expression.
"Ano it's nothing…I was just thinking that's all" She stated as she smiled at him. He grinned as he looked at her.
"I thought for a moment that I was going to have to beat someone up for messing with my little sister" He smiled as he continued eating. She smiled as she looked at him. Takeshi was really like an older brother to her and she often calls him brother at times as well.
"Niisan you're too protective I'm fine" She smiled.
"Hai-Hai…but I was just checking…I love eating your cooking Hinata-imooto it's always so good" He stated as he continued eating the curry she made him.
"I'm glad you like it"
"I don't like it I love it" He grinned.
"He's just like a kid sometimes" She smiled as she looked at him.
"Oi Hinata-chan…and short stuff" Sasuke smirked as he and Suki walked in together. Hinata smiled but when she looked at Suki she slightly frowned but now one noticed it…or so she thought.
"Shut up and stop calling me that"
"Well you are short. You're older than us and you're the same height as Hinata-chan" Suki stated as she and Sasuke chuckled. Takeshi and Hinata frowned.
"I just about had-"
"Stop talking about Takeshi-niisan. It isn't very nice" She glared at the two. Sasuke and Suki seemed shocked but then again Hinata has been acting quiet strange lately when around them.
"I'm sorry Takeshi-san…" Suki pouted as she bowed. Hinata looked at Sasuke waiting for him to say sorry as well but he just stood there.
"What? I'm not saying sorry to short stuff" He smirked. Hinata frowned as she looked at him but then she just looked at Takeshi.
"Come on Takeshi-niisan we can-"She stopped when she looked at Takeshi to see in glaring hard at Sasuke with his bloodline limit activated. His eyes had the ability to made one person paralyzed just by looking at them.
His eyes were purple but the pupil was red with a hint of black in them and when he was truly angry and it expands soon making his whole eye black.
"Takeshi-niisan…" She whispered as she looked at him. Sasuke and Suki were too paralyzed to even move as they looked at him.
"Uchiha Sasuke…" He snarled as he looked at him. Hinata noticed that he was making his way towards Sasuke so she grasped onto his arm trying to stop him.
He stopped as he looked back at Hinata as his eyes change back to their normal color…brown.
"I'm sorry Hinata-imooto" He said as he cast his head down. She smiled as she took his hand.
"Let's get some fresh air ne?" She smiled he nodded as he pulled her as the two walked out the room. When they left Suki stared at the door.
"Okay what in the hell was that? What just happened?" Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. Whatever it was it was him that ticked off the red head.
"Boy your best friend Hinata-chan sure is like a mother figure" Sasuke looked at Suki.
"Nani?"
"I mean I know she's just fourteen but she has this affect on people here…like a mother figure. I mean look at Takeshi-san when he starts to get angry and his eyes get like that Hinata is always there trying to stop him from doing whatever it is he is trying to do and then there Toki…" Sasuke stood there and thought about Hinata.
When they first moved to this new hideout Hinata still stayed in the same room as Sasuke but when Sasuke and Hinata had this argument about him being close with Suki, Hinata decided to move into a new room to get away from Sasuke for awhile. Since that day Sasuke and Hinata have kind of been on the rocky side and he's been spending most of his time with Suki.
Not like he likes Suki or anything he just enjoys her company. But he does know that Suki likes him but it doesn't matter to him, he does find Suki attractive but only has one girl that he truly cares for and that Hyuuga Hinata.
&&&&&&&
"I really am sorry Hinata-imooto it's just that Sasuke I really can't stand him. He makes me so sick with that name and…" He looks at Hinata. "I don't like the way he treat my little sister" He whispered. Hinata eyes widened as he looked at her.
"N-Nani?"
"He ignores you like you're nothing to him. I know you two are best friends but he sure doesn't act like it. He treats Suki better than you. He isn't a true friend to treat you like that…" He stated but stopped when he noticed tears forming in Hinata's eyes.
"Imooto…?" He whispered. Hinata buried her head in Takeshi's chest. "Don't worry Hinata-imooto I'm here for you" He whispered as he held onto her.
Eyes watched the two from afar, jealousy, hurt, anger all filled these pair of eyes as he watched Takeshi hug her. But the person soon left.
&&&&&&&&&
The day went on and Hinata was in her room painting a picture. Since she has been there she does train herself or she sometimes train with Raiden since Sasuke says he never has time since he is always training with Suki. But on her free time she paints and she's really good at it too.
Knock Knock
Hinata continued painting not even door the door a glance. "Who is it?" She asked.
"It's me Hinata-chan" The voice said. Hinata was quiet for about a good twenty-five seconds before saying coming in. When Sasuke walk in she was facing him but she was painting.
"Hey…"
"Hn…" Is all she said. He frowned as he looked at her.
"I'm surprised Suki-san isn't in here with you. I mean after all everywhere you are she is and everywhere she is you are" She stated. Her expression held jealousy but her eyes held saddens.
"Hinata I just had enough with the way you're acting. Why are you acting like a jealous person that isn't you" He yelled at her causing her to wince a bit but she continued painting.
"Listen to me god damn it" He walked towards her and threw the painting the she was currently on the ground. She looked at the painting and got up from her seat and walked towards it to pick it up but he grabbed her wrist.
"Look at me Hinata you haven't even looked at me since I came in here" He grabbed a hold of her chin forcing her to look at him but she looked at the side still not looking at him.
He pushed her face back letting his hand fall away from her face. "Damn it woman…" He mumbled. He looked down at her and frowned.
"Fine you want to be alone and you don't want to be bothered by me then fine I won't mess with you…you're acting like a child Hinata and I can't stand it" he walked towards her door and took one more last look at her before slamming her door. When he left her room he could her crying from outside her room.
He stood by her door listening to her cries as he made a guilty expression. Just as he was getting ready to walk back into her room to apologize her could her a male's voice coming from in her room and he immediately recognized the voice and just thought it'll be best to leave it to him since this guy is closer to Hinata than he is now.
&&&&&&&&&&&
"Hinata-chan are you okay? Why are you crying?" He asked as he looked at her. Hinata looked up to see Kabuto looking at her with a concerned expression.
"How did you even get in here?"
He pointed to the window. "I heard you crying so I immediately left from my training with Takeshi and Raiden to see you" He said in a concerned tone.
Hinata smiled as she blushed. "Was I really that loud while I was crying?" She smiled a goofy smile trying to cheer herself up. He grinned as he looked at her. "Hai…but it doesn't matter who made you cry like this? Was it Sasuke-kun?" He asked knowing that she and Sasuke haven't been all so close these pass few months.
She slowly nodded. He just smiled as he looked at her as he placed his hand on hers. "I'm sure that you two will be back friends in no time…so don't cry over it. Besides don't you think Sasuke-kun might be right…I mean you are getting rather jealous of Suki" He stated.
"Ano…-"
"Is it that you don't want her to replace you? You think Sasuke-kun will make her his new best friend?" He asked.
"Iie…that isn't what I'm thinking but I'll let him think that" She didn't respond as she looked at him. She smiled as she shook her head.
"Arigatou Kabuto-san" He slightly frowned hearing her say 'san'. He thought after at least a month had gone by since she been here she would stop calling him that but she hasn't. She even calls Takeshi her brother but yet she doesn't even call him 'Kabuto-kun' yet. It drives him crazy.
He smiled as he looked at her. "Ah Hinata-chan you have a birthday coming up don't you?" He smiled. She blushed of embarrassment. How could she forget her own birthday…?
"Ano…I almost forgot" She stated truthfully.
He smirked as he looked at her. Over the two years he started to think of Hinata like a younger sister and looks after her and when he isn't around to look after her there is always Takeshi but Kabuto is closer to Hinata then Takeshi but both men care about the fourteen year old deeply. Kabuto stood up looking down smiling at her.
"Well…I'm going to take a shower I don't want to go around smelly after that training" He smirked. She giggled as she looked at him.
When he walked out her room he could sense Sasuke's chakra not too far away. He walked to where he sensed the chakra. "I thought since you two are friends or 'best friends' that you should know how sensitive she is. She's probably not use to seeing you around other girls and that's why she is reacting the way she is" The grey haired ninja stated.
Sasuke said nothing as he looked to the ground.
"I think you should do like you said and give her a little space. When she is ready to talk to you she will…until then" He trailed off as he walked away. Sasuke continued to stare at the ground.
"…Hinata-chan…" He whispered to himself as he stood there in the hallway alone.
&&&&&&&&&&&
It was now the next day and Hinata was eating her breakfast at the long table. In the room with her were Kabuto, Sasuke, Suki, Takeshi and the quiet Raiden.
"Oi Hinata-imooto after this you want to go out somewhere?" He asked as he looked at her with crumbs on his face. She giggled as she looked at him. She wiped her face trying to motion him to wipe his face. He noticed and wiped his face and looked up at her grinning.
"So what do you say?"
"H-Hai…I don't mind" He grinned. Suki looked at Hinata and smiled.
"So Hinata-chan I hear you're birthday is coming up. You'll be fifteen" She cheered. Hinata smiled as she continued eating. "H-Hai…I will" She started thinking about Neji, Kiba, Shino and Naruto along with the others from Konoha.
Raiden looked at her with his expressionless expression. "I see you are thinking about your friends from Konoha again" He stated sipping his tea. Sasuke looked at Hinata in shock. "Was she really thinking about them…again?" The raven haired ninja thought as he looked at her face.
Raiden had the ability to read other people's minds and had a bad habit of saying certain things people were thinking out loud rather it was bad, good, or just embarrassing.
Hinata nodded as she looked down. "H-Hai…"
"I'm sorry Hinata-sama if it was personal and you didn't want anyone to know"
"Ah it's okay…" She smiled but it was a weak smile. Takeshi and Sasuke looked at Hinata.
"Hey Hina-"
"Hey Hinata-imooto I'll cheer you up so you would have to be so sad okay" Takeshi grinned putting up a nice guy pose just like Lee. Hinata smiled as she stood up from her seat.
Sasuke glared at Takeshi. "I wish he would shut-up for once and let me talk" He was mad because he was going to say the same thing but not the same words he said but close enough.
He watched as Hinata excused herself from the table and when she left Takeshi looked at everyone smiling.
"We should throw Hinata-imooto a party" He grinned. Kabuto just sighed.
"And you honestly think Orochimaru-sama will let that happen?" He stated.
"Well it's worth a try because Hinata-imooto should celebrate her birthday with her friends…well" He glared at Sasuke. "Her real friends"
"You trying to say something short stuff?" He glared as he stood up in a defensive way. Takeshi stood up as well.
"Well I'm trying to say that all her real friends should be there not some punk kid like you who ignores his best friend for that-that thing right there" he pointed towards Suki frowning. Suki stood up glaring at him.
"You wanna repeat that?" She snarled. Raiden just ignored the young ones as he continued eating while Kabuto watched in amusement; he wasn't going to step in unless things got out of hand or Orochimaru came in.
"Leave Suki-chan out of this" He said in a protective tone. Suki looked at Sasuke and blushed. "…Sasuke-kun…" She blushed.
"There you go again…I can't stand you two" He frowned as he walked out the room but then he stopped looking back at Sasuke while smirking.
"Since you're pushing Hinata-imooto to the side to make room for that thing" Suki frowned as she growled while Sasuke frowned. "I think I'll find Hinata-imooto someone who does appreciate her…I've already found that person" He smirked as he left the room to go after Hinata.
Sasuke looked at Raiden. "Who is he talking about?" he asked knowing that the older man knew.
"I don't know" He replied.
"Tell me now" Kabuto sighed. "Now-now Sasuke-kun Takeshi is just messing with you…he hasn't found anyone for Hinata…" He stated as he closed he's eyes.
"Then why would he say that" He stated.
"Sasuke-kun…please calm down you're starting to act like a jealous boyfriend" Suki pointed out. Sasuke sighed as he sat back down.
Raiden knew exactly who Takeshi was trying to pair Hinata up with and it was his younger brother; who Takeshi often goes out in the middle of the night to meet up with his since his younger brother doesn't work for Orochimaru but he wants to.
&&&&&&&&&
"Ah Hinata-imooto I would like to introduce you to my younger brother. He is about your age. I think that you two would get along very well" He smiled at her. Hinata nodded as Takeshi grabbed her hand and started pulling her. Hinata would always blush when around the red head since he never wears a shirt. She always asked him to put on a shirt but he says he doesn't like to leave it on for very long.
As he was pulling Hinata he could see his younger brother leaning against a tree; he knew that he was waiting for him.
"Oi Hiei looky looky" He started pointing at Hinata who was blushing. "I brought Hinata-imooto with me this time" He smiled. The young boy looked up to see the Hyuuga girl with his older brother.
"Hn…I see" He looked at Hinata like he was examining her which was making Hinata feel uncomfortable. Takeshi noticed this and frowned at his brother.
"Why are you staring so hard? Can't you see you're making her nervous" he pointed out.
"I'm sorry…it's just" He looked at Hinata and smiled a perverted smile. "She's so cute…and I can't help myself, plus she has all the curves in all the right places." He smiled as he looked at her. Hinata blushed as she looked away from both male ninjas.
"I'm Hiei…younger brother to Takeshi" He stated in a formal way as he bowed to her. Hinata was taken back since he was being a pervert one minute and the next so polite.
"Ano…Hyuuga Hinata" She stated. He smirked as he looked at her.
"So I guess I leave you two to get to know each other a little more" Hinata looked at Takeshi with wide eyes. Hiei noticed this and placed his arm around Hinata.
"Don't worry I don't bite" He said as he started raising his eyebrows up and down. Hinata blushed as she looked at the ninja.
"I'm going to be doing a little training with Toki so you have to come home yourself okay…imooto?" Hinata slowly nodded. When he left Hiei looked at Hinata. "Now that that's over" He removed his arm from Hinata and glared at her. Hinata was now beyond confused.
"Listen here that was just an act for my older brother. The only reason he brought you here was because he said that I could probably cheer you up or something like that because you were having problems with a close male friend of yours. I'm not to keen on being friends with you but I'm only doing this because my brother wants to help you out" Hinata looked at him with wide eyes.
"I care about my brother deeply and I was willing to do this for him since he cares about you enough to call you his younger sister" Hiei started walking but then he stopped. "By the way I don't find you cute at all…you are actually very ugly" He frowned as he looked at her.
She was really shocked what she said to and almost would have cried…if she wasn't so angry.
"Listen here boy I don't who you think you are talking to but I'll think twice again about what you just said unless you want my fist colliding to your face" She yelled as she looked at him.
"Do it then...punch me" He tempted her as he turned his face to the side.
"Argh nerves of this guy…I'll show him" She raised her fist to punch him but she stopped. Hiei turned towards her smirking.
"HA you couldn't even-"Before he could finish his sentence Hinata's fist collided with his jaw. Hiei flew back onto the ground.
"…Baka…" She mumbled as she started to walk away.
Hiei sat up rubbing his cheek. "THAT HURTED" He yelled as he stood up pointing his finger at her as anime tears came out of his eyes.
"You're acting like a ten year old" She stated as she rolled her eyes.
"I am not I am a thirteen year old teenager"
"Y-You're thirteen years old" She stuttered. He nodded.
"He's taller than his older brother who is nineteen" Hinata thought as she looked at him.
Hinata looked at him he was tall for his age unlike his brother who was short his age. Hiei was taller than Sasuke… He had black hair that was spiky and long in the front but short in the back, and he had his headband tied on his forehead, he wore a black t-shirt with black pants and white gym shoes; his pants were so baggy that his pant legs covered his shoes.
"How old did you think I was ugly girl" Hinata frowned at that last part but ignored it.
"I thought you were older" She stated forgetting that Takeshi said that Hiei was his younger brother.
"Older? How old are you"
"I'm fourteen" She exclaimed.
Hiei looked at her. "Well…I guess your older than me…girls your age aren't yet developed in certain areas such as yourself…which is a lot you look like a woman with all that" He stated while looking at her chest. She blushed as she covered her chest with her arms.
Hinata suddenly felt really bad that she punched him and walked over towards him examining his face. "What the heck are you doing get away from-"He looked at her face and noticed how concerned she was looking as she was looking at his cheek.
"G-Gomen nasai Hiei-san…I feel really bad for hitting you…gomen nasai" She apologized as she continued examining his cheek. Hiei looked at her while frowning but let her look at his face.
"You-you work for Orochimaru-sama like my brother?" She shook her head.
"I'm there with my friend…"
"You're friend? Most people who join Orochimaru leave they're village to work under him"
"H-Hai…"
"And you left the village with this friend of yours?"
"H-Hai…I promised him that I'll stay with him…" She stated as she backed away from him.
"She is a loyal friend. Lina didn't even stay with my niisan after she found out that he was leaving the village to work under Orochimaru-sama" Hiei thought as he looked at the girl Hyuuga. Lina was once Takeshi's girlfriend but they broke up when she found out that he was going to leave the village to work under Orochimaru.
"Come with me Hiei-chan so we get that taken care of" She smiled as she looked at him. He looked at her as he frowned and walked passed her.
"It's no use…I'm not allowed to go in there"
"Says your brother?"
"No says Orochimaru-sama…he says he doesn't need me around and that he has my brother and that's all he needs" He stated. Hinata grabbed his hand.
"Ah…but it won't matter you're just coming in so I can heal you cheek…it's abnormally swollen" She stated. He rubbed his cheek hissing in pain.
"You sure can pack a punch ugly girl" He smirked.
"Stop calling me that"
"What ugly girl? But you are an ugly girl to me…and it's my opinion so I can say whatever I want" Hinata knew he was right but hearing him say that really was hurting her feelings.
Hinata just made a sad expression as she just started to pull him. "Come on"
"Hey wait stop pulling" He said but never once yanked his hand away from hers.
&&&&&&&&&
When Hinata and Hiei arrived they were getting a lot of stares.
"Who is he?"
"Is he the new guy?"
"Why is he with Hinata-chan?"
"Sasuke is going to blow a fuse with he sees Hinata with that guy" Hiei listened to the people talk back and fourth towards each other. He looked at Hinata who didn't seem to be paying them any attention.
"Who is Sasuke? Is that he boyfriend or something? But she's way too ugly to have a boyfriend" He twisted up his face as he looked at Hinata.
"Hinata-sama…what is this?" Hinata stopped as she looked at Orochimaru who was frowning at the boy. Hiei looked at Orochimaru happy to see him since he admired the guy; not caring that Orochimaru wasn't too fond of him.
"Ano…I was going to heal his cheek" Orochimaru looked at the boy and back at Hinata. And as if Hinata knew what he was trying to ask she started talking.
"I…sort of…ano…punched him" Orochimaru looked at Hinata and smirked.
"I see…very well…heal him and then show him to the exit" He stated as he walked pass the two. Hinata nodded and just as she was getting ready to walk again she bumped into Suki who of course was with Sasuke.
"Ano…I'm sorry" Hiei let go of Hinata's hand and pushed her to the side.
"Whoa-ho who is this cutie" He said really loud causing Suki to blush.
"My name is Suki" She said as she looked at the boy.
"I'm Hiei…Takeshi's younger brother who just happens to be single" He smirked.
"Eww get away from me" She grabbed onto Sasuke's arm as she leaned away from Hiei. Hinata frowned when she noticed this. Sasuke noticing her look but ignored it and let Suki continue to hold onto his arm which annoyed Hinata to the fullest.
"Takeshi's younger brother?" Hiei stopped to look at Sasuke as he nodded.
"What were you doing with Hinata-chan?" He asked as he glared at him.
"Who?"
"That's me…" She stated while looking at him.
"Oh ugly girl" Sasuke frowned as he looked at him. "She was taking me to heal my cheek…since SHE DID IT" He yelled looking at her. Hinata just looked away.
"Hinata-chan you did that?" Sasuke asked as he looked at her. She slowly nodded her head. Sasuke smirked as he looked back at Hiei.
"You probably deserved it. Hinata-chan isn't the type of person who throws punches around like that" He smirked as he looked at the ninja.
"Tch…I would have hit ugly girl back but she's a girl…I don't stoop that low as to hit a girl" Sasuke glared at him as he shook himself loose of Suki so he could walk closer towards Hiei.
"And if you ever do lay a finger on Hinata-chan I deal with you personally" He hissed.
"Sasuke-kun please…" She pleaded as she looked at him. He looked at Hinata and back at Hiei. "Come one Suki-chan we have to train" Suki nodded as she walked towards Sasuke sticking out her tongue at Hiei as she passed him.
"Oh and Hinata-chan are you busy later…there is something that I must talk to you about" He said as he continued walking.
When the two left Hiei looked at Hinata. "So that's Sasuke…hmm" He looked back at Hinata. "What does he see in you? Now that Suki girl was smoking hot and you…" He looked Hinata up and down. "You may be a little more developed than her but she has the looks…you're rather homely looking"
Hinata frowned as she looked at him she was almost tempted to say 'Heal your own got damn cheek since you want to talk trash about me' but she resisted the urge to say that as she just smiled at him.
"Sasuke-kun sees plenty in me" Is all she said before walking off not caring if Hiei follows or not. He frowned but followed.
&&&&&&&&
"Oi little brother how have-"He stopped talking when he saw his brother's cheek.
"What happened to you?"
"That girl…Hinara…Hinahra well whatever the hell her name is the ugly girl did this to me" He frowned.
"It's Hinata and she's not ugly. What happened to her being cute?" He frowned.
"I lied she's not" He frowned. "I don't like her and I can't see why that Sasuke guy is friends with such an ugly person like her"
"Tch listen here Hinata-imooto isn't ugly so don't call her ugly. Hinata is way better than Suki who is the ugly one. Hinata is a calm, kind, gentle, and strong person, she'll go all out of her way to help someone even if they are being rude or mean to her…Hinata has this affect on people and she can change them…after all she changed Toki for the better"
"T-Toki? Who is the world is that?"
"He was a killer…with his sword alone he killed over 900 people" Hiei eyes widened. "When he first was brought here buy Orochimaru and Kabuto they had to place him in an underground cell because he was out of control trying to kill everyone here. Orochimaru had ordered Hinata to take his food to him" Takeshi smirked. "That Sasuke didn't want Hinata to that because he didn't want her to get killed by that guy…Hinata didn't want to go either but Orochimaru told her if she didn't go he would kill her"
Hiei eyes widened as he continued to listen to his brother.
"Sasuke was blinded with rage and even tried to attack Orochimaru for even saying that but Hinata said that she would go. When she went it took her awhile to come back so Kabuto and Sasuke decided to go check on her and she was fine Toki was talking to Hinata and everything. But he only talks to her…anyone else he practical hates…except for her. He might talk to me from time to time and he listens to Kabuto and Orochimaru"
"How old is this Toki person?"
"Ah Toki…is about sixteen years old; two years older than Hinata. He still has a bit of his bloodlust in him whenever we go on a mission but tries to hold back. He tells me…if Hinata were to see him kill a people she would be hurt so he tries not to kill anyone for her sake. Sasuke hates the guy because he's so close with Hinata but he is afraid of him although he'll never admit it to anyone but everyone knows" He smirked at the thought of Sasuke being afraid of Toki.
"Ah I'm sorry that I was late I had to find Kabuto-san" Hinata stated as she came in with Kabuto at her side.
"Why did you need him" Hiei glared at the girl.
"She needs me because she's still in her training when it comes to medical justu's" Kabuto stated with a frown. Kabuto didn't like this kid because he always had a smart mouth.
"A medical ninja huh?" Yes this was true. Kabuto had started training Hinata since he notices how bored she gets with Sasuke training with Suki and going on missions while she has to stay home and do nothing. So he asked Orochimaru if it was okay if he trained Hinata and Orochimaru said that it was fine because he might need her one day for a certain mission.
"Yes she is and she comes from one of the strongest clans in Konoha…the Hyuuga clan"
"The Hyuuga clan… now I remember. I hear the heiress to the clan was really cute" He smirked trying image how she might look. Hinata blushed.
"Guys really think I'm cute"
"She is the Heiress…well ex-heiress since she is no longer in Konoha" Kabuto stated.
"No way! This is the heiress to the Hyuuga clan. She's isn't cute at all" Kabuto had enough of this guy so he punched him in the stomach.
"You're lucky I didn't punch that other cheek of yours…and don't ever talk about Hinata-chan like that in my presence again…is that understood" Kabuto hissed. Hiei looked at Kabuto with wide eyes as did Takeshi and Hinata.
"…Kabuto-san…"
"What's with all these guys liking her? I don't see it. First it's Sasuke and then this Toki guy who I never even seen and then it's Kabuto-senpai" Hiei looked at Kabuto as he backed away from him.
"You know Hinata-chan you can let him walk around like that. I wouldn't heal him if I were you. If the guy is talking trash about you like that you stand up for yourself a little bit more…I mean I know you did" He looked back at Hiei's jaw. "You practically broke his jaw that's why it's so swollen but…"
"Kabuto-san it's okay really…now let's just heal his jaw" Kabuto just sighed but nodded. Hinata walked towards Hiei as she placed her hand on his cheek.
"This might hurt a bit…but it'll pass" She stated as she started to concentrate on what she was doing.
"Tch ugly girl nothing can hurt me" He stated but as soon as she was healing him it hurts him like hell but kept…well tried to keep his poker face on.
When it was finished Hinata looked at him and smiled. "There all better" She smiled while he frowned while looking at her.
Kabuto looked at Hinata and smiled. "She really has changed since she first came here. She still stutters a little but she's more talkative than what she use to be which is good. And she isn't afraid to say what's on her mind…well I'm working on that part with her. Trying her to get her to open up to me is really hard" Kabuto sighed as he smiled a lazy smile.
"Well I have to go now…"
"Toki…?" Hinata nodded as she walked towards the door but Hiei's voice stopped her.
"Thanks…ugly-"Before he could say anything else Kabuto and his brother sent a glare that surely would have killed him if it were possible to die just by a death glare.
"I mean…um thanks" Hinata knew what he was going to say as she just turned around.
"You know I don't mind you calling me that…it doesn't bother me like it did before. But I have to say you aren't so good looking yourself" Hiei's eyes were full of shock and anger.
"What did you just say?!"
"I mean Takeshi-niisan is WAY better looking than you are" She smiled still not turning around as she soon left the room.
"WHAT?! How can she say that you're better looking than me when it's clear that I'm the better looking one" He said in arrogant tone. Takeshi grinned as he scratched his temple.
"Hinata-imooto thinks I'm better looking than you" He slightly blushed as he looked at his brother.
"SHUT-UP AND DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU HEAD" Hiei frowned.
Kabuto just smirked. "Hum…she told you" Hiei glared at him.

The Hyuuga girl walked down the hallways as everyone stared at her. "You're going to see Toki Hinata-sama?" One of the men asked. Hinata nodded as she looked at him.
"I have to give him his food" The man nodded.
"Be careful Hinata-sama" She smiled as she nodded. The people that worked for Orochimaru were always so nice and caring towards her.
Hinata walked closer towards Toki's cell as she unlocked the door and opened it. She looked inside and it was completely dark inside. She couldn't see a thing.
"H-Hinata…is that you" The voice asked within the darkness. Hinata nodded but answered knowing that he couldn't see her.
"H-Hai it's me Toki-kun" She smiled in the dark. "Ano…Toki-kun why don't we cut on the lights? It's really dark in here…I can't see a thing"
"I like it when it's this dark" Came the reply. Hinata sighed. "But I can't see"
"Well I can't do anything…my hand are bound up behind my back so I can't turn on the lights. So find the light and just turn it on yourself" Hinata nodded as she turned on the light switch. She looked at Toki and smiled weakly.
Toki had clothes just like Kimimaro with light purple hair. Toki's eyes were bloodshot red though; it looked sort of like Kabuto's eyes when they turned red during the time he fought the Rain Genin in the forest of death but his eyes were the color of grey.
Toki never smiles, not even a smirk. He always has an expressionless expression on his face.
Hinata walked towards him when the door shut. Hinata stood there frozen as she turned back around trying to open the door.
"Oh no! I completely forgot that this door only opens from the outside" She started to panic. Sure Toki was nice with her and talked to her but she had to admit the guy scared her to death. She turned slightly to look at the purple haired ninja.
"Ano…"
"You're locked in here" He asked as he looked at her. She nodded. He just looked at her and the tray of food that she had sat down on the floor.
"The food. I'm hungry" He stated as he looked at her. She nodded as she picked up the tray and walked towards him placing it in front of him. He looked at the tray and then her.
"Do you expect me to eat with my hands behind my back?" He asked while looking at her intensely. She looked away from his red eyes as she shook her head.
"Well either untie me or feed me" He stated. She nodded as she walked behind him untying the ropes. Orochimaru had him to be tied up because he didn't quiet trust Toki well enough to unbound him because Toki had a habit of killing people…rather violently at that he didn't want Toki to kill any of one in his hideout.
He looked at Hinata from the corner of his eye. "Thank you" He said as he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Hinata watched him as he was eating and noticed that he was watching her as well as he was eating.
Hinata quickly looked away from him. "You know that you are stuck in here with me. Orochimaru-sama comes in here along with Kabuto every day to get me so I can train, so you'll be out of here tomorrow morning" He said as he continued eating.
"T-Tomorrow?" She stuttered. He nodded as he paused from eating his food.
"You sound nervous and afraid? Are you afraid to be left in here alone with me?" He asked her.
"Ano…kind of" She stated honestly.
"You don't have to be. I would never hurt you Hinata you should know that by now" He stated as he pushed the tray away from him.
Hinata noticed this and looked at him in a worried way. "You're done so quickly, you barely ate anything"
"I'm not that hungry right now" He stated as he looked at her. She nodded. He looked around his room and then back at her. "I only have one bed. We will have to share it" Hinata blushed.
"Ano I can't do that. Ano…I'll sleep on the floor" Toki looked at her.
"Kabuto told me that you slept on Sasuke's floor when he offered you the same thing I just offered you and you woke up with a crook in your neck and a sore back" He looked at her embarrassed face.
"You will not sleep on this floor while I'm in here" He said in a demanding tone. "You will sleep in the bed…I don't want you waking up sore in the morning" Hinata blushed as she looked away from him.
"Is that understood?" He asked her. She slowly nodded her head.
"Good now that's understood…I have a question for you" She looked up at him.
"What is the question Toki-kun?" She asked as she looked at him.
"What do you think of Sasuke's relationship with his girlfriend?" He asked as he looked at her. Hinata eyes widened as she looked at him. "Girlfriend?! What is he talking about? Suki isn't his girlfriend…Suki is just his friend" Toki noticed the look in her eyes.
"I take it that you didn't know?" He asked as he looked at her.
"B-But…S-Sasuke-kun…h-he-"
"When we were on a mission together, He and I along with Suki and Takeshi, Sasuke and Suki wandered off together. Takeshi got mad and told me to go find them since they were talking so long so I did. When I found them they were kissing" He said with no emotion what so ever as usual.
Tears started to come out Hinata's eyes as she looked at the ground. Toki looked at her as he moved closer towards as he placed his arm around her trying his best to comfort her since he wasn't use to this sort of thing.
"Hinata…don't cry. I'm sure that he just didn't know how to tell you" Toki stated as he looked at Hinata. Toki didn't know that Hinata and Sasuke were in love with each other all he just knew that they were best friends.
"A-Are you sure you saw right?" She asked as she watched him nod his head. She cried on his chest. He flinched to the close contact; he wasn't use to people touching him or crying on him and he didn't know how to react.
She looked at him and blushed. "G-Gomen Toki-kun" She mumbled as she looked at him. He shook his head. "It's okay Hinata…you are crying it's only right that someone tries to comfort you" He stated looking into her white eyes. She looked into his; his eyes held no emotion what so ever nor did his expression but Hinata knew he meant well by what he just said.
She smiled as she laid her head back on his chest. "Arigatou Toki-kun…arigatou" She whispered. He looked at the girl in his arms.
Toki wasn't lying when he said that he saw Sasuke and Suki kiss he really did and when he saw it he assumed that Sasuke and Suki were dating.
"Hinata it's getting late…let us sleep" He said as he felt her nod her head. He helped her stand up as he stood up guiding her to the one bed in his room. He watched as Hinata climbed in on the other side as did he.
It was silent for about an hour in the darkness of the room. Neither one of them was sleep but thinking that the other was sleep. Toki turned around to face Hinata; he noticed that her back was facing him. He missed having the girl in his arms so he scooted over towards her and wrapped his arm around the fourteen year old female ninja. She gasped as she blushed.
"T-T-Toki-kun…w-what are you doing?" She nearly yelped.
"Just let me hold you in my arms Hinata. I never get to hold anyone and I just want to see how it feels to have you in my arms" He whispered in her ear making her blush.

I'm sorry that I have to end the chapter here but this chapter is too long so the next chapter will finish off right where I left off…think of it like part two of this chapter. Please leave reviews.
Also I am very sorry about the very late update. To let you all know this story is already written and I have 12 chapters for it already but I'm uploading one chapter at a time because if I uploaded all the way to chapter twelve it will take me even longer to upload chapter thirteen since I haven't started on that chapter yet. And also I currently do not have internet so that's the main reason for my late updates.
