In the previous chapter: Orochimaru let out an even greater laugh. "Now I know you really are a fool! There you go not listening to me at what I just said. Hinata is mine." The savageness in Orochimaru's eyes made the Elder retreat a few steps back. "I warn you Hyuuga, don't dare and threaten me. The real question is, are you safe from your pretty little granddaughter Hinata elder?"

Hinata shuffled uneasily as she sat beside her sister Hanabi. He had not clapped at their performance but looked rather serious instead. Hiashi stared at his two daughters. He had come to a conclusion about the two with Orochimaru's words. "Listen both of you. What I am about to tell you could possibly change the course of your life."

The sisters straightened up listening to their fathers words. "I am once again pitying you against one another. Not just to prove which is the more powerful kin but I warn you Hinata this match affects your fate the most. Whether or not you stay a member of the head or you become a member of the branch family will depend on the outcome." He watched Hinata as her calm attentive face shifted and became slightly distorted by disbelief.

Later that Day

Hinata was still shaking from her fathers words earlier. She had gone deeper in the Hyuuga Estate woods to train in solitude. She was probably in Nara territory at the moment. It didn't matter to her though, but what was itching in her was something she rarely felt. Many people knew her as a kind and sweet person but no one seemed to think she was capable of being frustrated, sadly a constant emotion she had.

She continuously slammed the trees with her palms as her chakra made brutal gashes in the bark. No longer was she crying in the corner of her room or wallowing in self pity. Orochimaru had shown her a new way to vent her frustration, unintentionally though. There were times he would become irritated with people and split a tree in half with a single kick as a warning. This sparked an idea and she has used it at times to relieve any weight off her chest.

This was the first time however she had managed to do exterior damage though. Although she wasn't completely unleashing her chakra wildly, her newfound strength yearned to devastate anything after being held back in the match. If only she could show them the progress she had made! Orochimaru has transformed her into a stronger kunoichi, she was not weak anymore. An extra chaotic chakra fist hit a hollow tree, causing splinters and debris to blow in her face.

Orochimaru was watching from the top of the tree's at the raging kunoichi below. He had hoped that the idiot Hiashi would have changed his mind about Hanabi being the next in line. Oh well, it was a slim chance at best and no doubt Hinata's grandfather was also puling strings. The final tree she struck almost exploded from impact as the dust and such from inside began to spread in the air. Really the progress is breathtaking.

"You do realize you and your Clan are supposed to be masters of the 'gentle' fist, right?" Orochimaru jumped down from his spot, his tone was teasing. He watched her carefully as she straightened up. This time she was genuinely exhausted. There was anger underneath her eyes, frustration was igniting a flame that burned marvelously. Almost enough to make him shudder. "You didn't come to me at the pond, so I decided to come look for you." He approached the kunoichi as her face was highlighting all the different mixes of emotions going through her mind. He held a strand of her bangs and played with it. "Are you going to stay quiet or are you going to tell me what is troubling Hinata?" His voice was soft as he comforted his lover.

"My father gave me an ultimatum." She murmured her voice strained trying to control her anger, but the venom was still heard. "Why did you want me to lose? If I showed them my new strength, the strength we have been working so hard to bring out, this wouldn't be happening!" Her reproach was sound. She folded her arms defensively as she paced back in forth. She didn't want to be in the Branch. Its not that she disliked it but she knew well the resentment the branch family had to the main. Even though Neji had worked hard to calm their uneasiness and hatred, with him gone there was no telling how the relations are. "C-can't you do something? You are powerful! Y-you...you're a Sannin of the Leaf, I mean I just...I don't know what is wrong with me anymore." The anger subsided and her voice almost sounded like a plea.

Orochimaru smiled, amused by her conflicting emotions. "Really you know the reason why. If you really wanted to you could have showed off and defeated your sister, but it wouldn't have made you the heiress. No, if anything it would mean being adopted into the Branch family sooner." Orochimaru turned his back to the startled girl as he leaned against a tree casually. "You confessed to me that night every reproach of your life AND every desire remember? Desires I have been helping you fulfill."

Hinata fiddled with her hair as she felt a pleasurable numbing sensation begin to pulse from her womanhood. He was right. He was the only who knew what she wanted, what she truly wanted. As far she could see, he was the only one capable of giving it to her too. "I-I am sorry. Please, I d-didn't mean to get angry w-with you." She embraced Orochimaru tightly from behind. "I trust you. Whatever it t-takes, I will do whatever you ask-" Hinata let out a squeal of surprise. Orochimaru had wheeled around and began to kiss her passionately. As soon as she processed what was going on her face flushed furiously. She kissed back letting her arms wrap around his neck, bringing him down a little so she could fully kiss him.

Orochimaru pushed forward slowly guiding her to the ground. He lay on top of her figure as they continued to tug at each other lips and explore each others mouths. He felt the cold moistness from the earth as the rain had yet to completely dry. He stopped kissing the girl who eager for more continued without him as she began to nib at his ear and neck. He placed a forceful kiss on her nape as his lips hovered next to her ear. "Im beginning to think I am nothing more than a toy to you little Lady." He felt as her body stiffened and a gasp escaped her lips. He looked into her eyes as she stared back into his. "What is it you want from me really? Why are you doing this? Who are you doing this for? I have given you more strength than you could have achieved on your own or anyone else for that matter." He paused as he stroked her cheek. "I made you into a woman, giving you the pain and pleasure that comes with it. Your precious Naruto left alone leaving you behind. You can leave whenever you wish and run behind him, you have the strength to do so." Orochimaru began to lick the skin of her nape, caressing the spot with his lips.

Hinata could feel his heartbeat and her own raced as she began to feel hot. What he had said was true. She had wanted to prove to Naruto her strength. He had lied to her, leaving her behind to keep her safe. At first she felt it was a sweet romantic gesture but the months passed and he remained without returning and soon the emptiness she felt at his departure when he went to train with Lord Jiraiya came back but worse. This time should have been different, she had confessed to him! He should have taken her with him. But he didn't, leaving her to feel weak, useless and worth less once again.

No. Naruto was not the one anymore. Her grip tightened as she held Orochimaru more firmly. "No...I guess I don't want to go after Naruto anymore. B-but I still want to be free, I want..." She closed her eyes as a shudder ran through her body as Orochimaru's hand playfully moved one of her bra straps, relieving it slightly from being supportive. "I-i just want...I want what I deserve, I just want more than what I have now."

Orochimaru sneered at her words. He did his best to suppress it into an innocent smile as he began to unzip her jacket. "You know being greedy and hungry is condemned by the village my little Hinata." Her hand's explored his back as he whispered in her ear.

"I know this well." He planted kisses on her collarbone as she remained still beneath him. They had just had a session in the dark hours of the morning, but he wanted to test her. Would she refuse or give in to him again so soon?

"Then m-maybe I don't belong here like I thought..." She whispered as he trailed down to the edge of her fishnet shirt. As he pulled it up to pull over her head and remove it he traced back the trail with his lips, kissing her skin as it became bare. " I-i want t-to be s-s-someone who is s-s-strong." A single stream of tears began to run down the corner of one of her eye's as she felt her entire upper body now exposed, her bra was pulled down underneath her breasts as she felt the air hit them. Her thoughts were becoming jumbled as she tried to finish her sentence. Once again her mind was panicking inside her skull on her lovers advances, she shouldn't be doing this she must stop him! "I-i don't want..." Her voice trembled as she suppressed the lump in her throat.

Orochimaru stopped immediately and looked down at her as she stood up, her body plagued with trembling. She allowed her back to lean against a tree, her upper body completely exposed as her nails dug into the bark. Orochimaru stood up as well rather impatiently as his student struggled with her thoughts. His hard member was visibly erect underneath his pants. "I don't want t-to make a m-mistake is all...is that so bad?" The poor girl was still considering things over, but at this moment she was vulnerable. The beast inside him was hungry, and at the moment she was being the perfect prey for him to feast on. He closed the distance between them again letting his erection rub against her body as he pulled her into an embrace.

"Not at all you silly girl. But you really are asking too much this time. If you want to make a difference, you need to approach it differently. If you want to do something right, you need to do it wrong first. You need to make mistakes to learn and grow." He whispered in her ear as he picked at her bra slowly not wanting to scare her again with his advances. He felt as her arms embraced him back, how her soft gentle lips kissed his chest. Slowly her hands travelled down as they paused momentarily at his waist before untying his sash. His heart raced with a pleasant surprise as she lowered herself. As intriguing as this new development in their relationship was, its not what he wanted. He lowered himself as well to her level as her face continued to flush with modest embarrassment. She wanted to do something new with him, but they would do what HE wanted.

Orochimaru pulled out a glass bottle with a liquid inside. It wasn't until he removed the cork that she remembered the strong smell. It was dark wine he had, the same one she had gotten drunk off of the first night they were intimate. She couldn't help but giggle at his unusual sentimental gesture. He took a rather generous sip as he held it out in front of her. He swished the wine in his mouth before swallowing, "What started the growth of the new you." Hinata took the bottle shyly as she stared at it, she recalled the bitterness of it and braced herself before attempting the same thing he had. She struggled to not spit it out as he downed the remainder. He tossed the bottle aside as he reached for one of her breasts, his hand massaging it as he slowly creeped closer to her. "What started the beginning of bringing me to you." She replied to him.

Hinata obeyed his nudging and quiet physical commands until eventually she was on all fours. She looked at him nervously at what he was doing. "Don't worry I promise you will enjoy this. The both of us." Her heart raced as his body positioned itself over hers as one of his arms massaged the side of her hips. "This will be just like the first time." Hinata smiled at his words as she strengthened her arms at his weight. Like the first time, she was troubled then like she was now. Wanting to prove herself to someone. Eager to please someone, again she was asking the wrong person for it. And again, she didn't care.

Woo~! Another chapter done! Sorry for the tease but I have a surprise coming up, and I hope you like it~! :3
I would also like to answer an inquiry I received, in this fic Hinata is...I say anywhere from 16-17? I think its 16 though (leaving myself room for error) The way I have her here is so this takes place shortly after the events of the Ten Tails (not too sure which season this is happening during since in my story its in the rainy one which would make her 17 the most liekly), still leaving her pretty young now thinking about it. But they are pretty much considered adults in the Narutoverse , I think. I'd also like to thank those of you for showing interest in my fic! Stay Awesome! :3
