Suicide Won't Save You
Act 2: Unveiled

Thanking any higher power that his cousin was asleep right now, otherwise she would scold him for talking like that, but at the same time Neji had hoped that Itachi got his message. The said Uchiha's face remained indifferent, but he did feel himself mentally flinch at Neji's words. Not that his words were dripping with venom, but the fact that Neji knew what they did that night and that there was now doubt and guilt in his mind… Did he hurt Hinata…?
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
More days dragged on for Hyuuga Hinata as she felt her symptoms affecting her mind and body more and more. Her breasts were hurting, and her head ached from fatigue and drained emotions. Nothing Sasori gave her helped her, but the Hyuuga heiress denied most of his offers because she was scared of hurting the baby that wasn't actually developed. Eating seemed to cause discomfort, so she didn't eat as much as she needed to; this of course took more of her strength, and weakened her more.
Neji was losing his patience since his cousin was rejecting any help from the "doctor" of their group, and she wasn't eating. Itachi was also becoming uneasy from his lover's unusual behavior, but since he was Uchiha Itachi, the shinobi who didn't show his emotions, and kept his worrying to himself. Kisame acted roughly the same as his partner, but showed a bit more concern for his little "princess." Deidara was hovering around Hinata like a worried mother would, and tried anything to get her to eat, or sip on the herbal concoctions Sasori made for her. Sasori tried to help her, but he didn't want to pressure her like Deidara did; it wasn't his way, and the blonde ninja was pestering enough for the lot of them. Why bother her more than needed?
Another five days passed and the Akatsuki members finally agreed to stop in a fairly large city. They needed medical supplies, food, and a proper bed. Once they entered the city called, "Hanatatsu" and they all split their ways; Deidara, Hinata and Neji all went down one street, Sasori began walking down another path, and the last two Akatsuki members were left on their own. "Come on. We need to find one of Leader's acquaintances." Spoke Itachi as he turned to start a search for the pleasure district. The blue skinned man nodded and followed in step right behind his partner.
"What about the two Hyuugas? They are going to want to know about this mission if we get one." Stated Kisame as he pulled his straw hat downward, so no one could meet his gaze. Itachi shrugged, and continued walking briskly towards the Hanamachi, where the geishas and other "women" made their living. "They will most likely stay with Sasori or Deidara. Those two won't need to join us, but they will need to perform a mission soon, or Leader will wonder what happened to them."
They entered the red light district and soon made their way into an alleyway. Deeper and deeper they walked until they came to a door and a burly man leaning against the wall. "What business do you have with Mami?" he spoke in a raspy voice. Kisame replied neutrally, "We are here for any kind of job she wants done right." The man shrugged and allowed the entrance. "She is entertaining a guest right now, but you two can always make her stop work any time." He smirked as the two serial killers made their way into the dark building.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Sasori entered a medical store and lifelessly pulled out his medical papers; he sighed. The red head hated flashing his Suna medical papers to anyone he didn't know, but he knew that if he wanted free range of anything in this store, he had to. "Good day sir is there anything in particular you want?" spoke the lady from behind the counter; the red head moved to meet her at the countertop and placed his papers on the glass top waiting for her to go over them. "I need Damiana leaf, Red Raspberry leaf, Ashwagandha, Dong Quai root, black Cohosh root, Sarsaparilla root, Burdock root, Wild Yam root, Scullcap leaf, Hijiki and Stevia… Just fill up these bags please." He looked over to the woman running the store and nearly killed her when he realized she just finished reading the papers and she was now giving him her attention to help prepare the herbs.
"I'm sorry sir; I was checking your papers… What did you need again?" she asked kindly. Sasori reframed from killing her with his tail, but then remembered he placed Hiruko back in its scroll. He then slowly restated his list of required medicinal herbs. The young woman smiled warmly and started talking to herself. Sasori drowned her out and since no one else was there, she was left talking to herself. "So you are helping someone with a pregnancy, huh? I wish I could help a pregnant woman, but I am not ready yet."
As she continued to babble to herself something finally clicked in the puppet's head. "Scratch on the wall, the lamp on the counter needs dusting… I'm bored… My herbs that need replenishing are used to help pregnant woman- WHAT THE HELL?!" his thoughts screamed at him as soon as he remembered what exactly he was asking for. A shocked expression crossed the usual poker-faced puppet's features and he was startled out of it when the medical woman tapped his shoulder. "What?" he demanded now cursing himself for slipping, and showing emotion to someone who he didn't give a damn about.
"U-Umm… Your herbs have been packed. Are you sure you don't them grounded for you?" she questioned with a tint of hesitation. Sasori sighed and shook his head. "How much?" he questioned as he took his money pouch out; the shopkeeper glanced down at her list and then stated the said price. The puppet shrugged and offered the money to her with not even giving another glance to her; he gathered his herb pouches and left without another word as well; why should he? She made him mad. "Che… I should kill her before we leave…" he paused and saw a fruit stand. "We need fruit." Was his last straightforward thought as he walked over to the stand to purchase some produce.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Itachi and Kisame leisurely walked in the dimly lit rooms and hallways that led them past many… busy workers and guests, and if they did care what was going on, they would flinch. Finally the two made it to a flight of stairs and once up those steps they were greeted by a large redwood door. The man who was leading them to "Mami's" room gently rapped at the door and soon a soft "come in." whispered through the door.
One of the redwood doors opened and a medium built man passed through the door, and gave the two Akatsuki members the harshest glare he could summon, but he still continued to walk away. "Was that suppose to be a glare, or a pout?" questioned Kisame; Itachi shrugged, and proceeded to walk into the room.
Once in the room, they both saw a beautiful woman lying on the bed; long raven hair flowed down her frame, and when she looked up to meet their gaze, her dark seemingly brown eyes were almost a black tint. She continued to stare at them, but received no reaction from either of the two killers. "How can I help you both?" she spoke; her voice just as welcoming and alluring as her features. "We were wondering if you have some sort of problem, or some situation that needs cleaning up." stated Kisame as he shifted his Samehada from one shoulder to the other. She smiled and sat up completely, and slowly made her way from the bed to a large desk that seemed to be made of the redwood; just like the door, and leisurely took her seat in a large chair.
"I do not see you two in months; I receive no call from Leader-sama… But here you two are asking for work. I did not even have to invite you… What is the occasion?" she inquired as she shifted through a small pile of paperwork on her desk. Itachi spoke out this time; his form depicted irritation with her coy attitude, but knew better than to kill someone for their impolite ways. "Do have anything you need help with, yes or no… If not, I am sorry to have bothered you, Mami-san." He bowed his head and lowered his hat in a sign of apology, but her voice stopped him and Kisame from turning away.
"Please. Wait, I did not know you were in such a hurry for work… I do have some problem with my side business on the next town over… One of my boys was caught with something illegal, and he lost my precious item. The police have it, and from what I heard, the said town has called upon Konoha ninjas to help them take my item to the Hokage… I can't have that, so please retrieve my item, and that will be all." She stated as she brushed her hair out of her vision. Kisame nodded and asked, "What is it?"
Mami pondered about telling the two or not, but decided to. "It is a drug that allows my girls to have immediate abortions. Some of the dumb idiots I have working for me forget 'safe sex', and end up getting pregnant. I don't need that problem, so I had one of my drug dealers make something for that problem… The only remaining problem I have is that this drug runs a risk of killing the patient… Do you still want the assignment?" Itachi and Kisame stared at Mami indifferently, but soon the Uchiha nodded, and Kisame replied, "Yeah, we'll take it. Same as usual?" Mami nodded and stated what "usually" happened. "20 percent goes to you and 80 percent goes to Leader-sama. Oh yeah, and I send a message as well, right?" Itachi nodded. She opened her desk drawer on the left, and pulled out a small stack of money.
"Since this is the first job in such a long time… I will give you 30 percent; with my love." Mami winked, and Kisame walked over to the desk to pick up the money. "Thank you for your kindness." Was his only reply; she smiled nonetheless, and then stood up from her comfy swivel chair. "Well then, if that is all you wanted to see me for, Kuroni will see you out, and also give you the instructions. The dear writes up my orders to make sure I perform spectacularly… Oh, if there is something else you would like from me… I can always cancel my next appointment." Mami offered a seductive smile with her offer, but it still didn't faze either of them. "No thank you, Mami-san, we'll be going now."
The two Akatsuki members bowed in respect to Mami and retreated out the same door with Kuroni standing right there with the said instructions. "We'll see ourselves out, thank you very much." Stated Kisame and the two were already nearing the exit before the burly man noticed they were gone. "Those damn bastards give me the creeps." He mumbled and walked back into the room which held Mami; gently shutting the door behind him.

Deidara, Hinata and Neji were planning on exploring the new city; enjoy any kind of treat they found, but Hinata's body began to feel sore and her breathing was becoming hoarse. Neji sighed, and took her in his arms. "Hinata, I thought we had an agreement that you would tell me when you're not feeling well… This is breaking the rules." He warned her under his breath. She nodded weakly, and cuddled into his warmer form. "I'm sorry Neji-kun, I really wanted to see this new town, but my body is just too tired."
The arsonist looked over his shoulder to the two Hyuugas and smiled; "Don't worry Hinata-chan, we'll most likely stay in this town for three days to stock up on supplies, and maybe Itachi and Kisame might go visit Leader's friend Mami for a job." Neji looked skeptical when he heard the two names, but didn't say anything in return about the subject. "Can we get to the inn were staying in?"
Deidara nodded and his walking paced picked up slightly and no less than five minutes later, they were standing in front of a middle class inn. "Alrighty~! Here we are. The others know where were going to stay, we just need rooms." Stated the Iwa-ninja; he walked up to the desk and mumbled a few words to the man appointing rooms, and after a moment or two passed he walked over to meet the other ninjas and grinned. "Were set; so let's get to our rooms. When the others return, we can go eat."
"That won't be necessary to wait for them. Itachi and Kisame have a job; they're going to be gone for five days. Maybe more if they need to." Neji and Deidara turned to see the puppet read head walking towards them with a plastic bag in hand. "Danna!" called out the blonde as he made his way over to Sasori and embraced him warmly. The said red head gave a half hearted return hug, and then turned to see Hinata's labored breathing.
"Get her inside. I need to help her with her illness… If it's even a sickness." He added simply. Neji shot the puppet a glare and Hinata gasped in shock. "S-Sasori-kun… D-Do you…?" she inquired timidly; he shook his head and replied, "We'll talk about it inside Hinata-chan, for now let's get you out of the cold."
They all obeyed, and made their way down a hallway, up a small flight of stairs through a small corridor, and finally reached two rooms that were connected. Deidara pulled out one of the slim keys he was given and unlocked to door. "Come on in, I'll start up the heater." He walked in first to turn on the machine and close the window. Hinata was helped in by Neji and gently placed on the foot of a bed. "Deidara, make sure the temperature is not too warm." Ordered the red head as he strolled into the room and shut the entrance door shut.
Hinata and Neji were both now seated on the bed waiting for Sasori to tell them that she was sick, or that he knew about the fetus. The said puppet turned to face the two Hyuugas with an indifferent stare, and then made his way over to them.
"While I was buying more herbs and medicine for Hinata, I realized something odd about all the ingredients: they are all used to help a woman during a pregnancy… So don't try and hide anything from me again Hinata. Are you pregnant?" he stated. Deidara dropped the teakettle he was holding, Neji turned his hardened gaze to the floor, and the said Hyuuga heiress kept her eye contact with Sasori.
"Yes, I am pregnant." Was her simple reply.
