DISCLAIMER- I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. But I do own this story and it's plot.
"Boar, ram, tiger, dog, katsu"
"Hinata-chan… what are you doing?" Sakura asked as she saw her friend making some handsigns.
'Don't bother her. She's trying to remember what to do next' Seri said as he walked beside her. Hinata closed her eyes and kept walking, not paying any mind to the others. Sakura looked at her and turned away. Seri sighed.
"Ne, ne, Sakura-chan?... what is Hinata doing?" he asked as he saw the new girl thinking, almost like Shikamaru.
"She's trying to remember" she bluntly said. Hinata opened her eyes and scanned the area. She looked at her forearm, it had a dragon tattoo. She grabbed a kunai, startling the others and cut her wrist. All of them had shocked looks until she spread the blood all over the tattoo. She was chanting something that no one could understand. Soon the tattoo began to glow and fog appeared. They all took their fighting positions while Hinata simple walked to the middle of the fog.
A cave was there, right in the middle of the fog. Hinata cocked an eyebrow, considering that there wasn't a cave before the fog. A reptile tail was there and she touched it.
"Ugh… who even dares to touch my adorably lovely tail?!" the others just backed away and held onto each other… except Sasuke and Neji who believe they are too cool for that and Shino who simply played with his bugs.
"Eh… Seiryuu… um… it's Hinata-sama… the one who touched you…" Seri said as he lightly rubbed his ear with his paw. Hinata just stood there waiting for the thing to appear.
"Ohhhhh Hinata-chan? My adorable Hina-chan!!" a blue dragon came out of the cave and lunged at Hinata. She simply stretched a hand to avoid the thing from touching her.
"Who are you?" she coldly said as she looked at his claws. He pouted.
"I'm Seisui Seiryuu!! Damnit, the East God! Ring a bell??" he said as he turned to human form. He had long straight dark blue hair almost black and a white Chinese gown. He looked at Hinata lovingly. Hinata cocked an eyebrow.
"Sakura, do I know this thing?" Hinata asked as she stared at the man that was about to glomp her.
"Um… I don't know… Seri?" Seri nodded.
"He's… one of the gods. As well as me, I'm Seri Byakko, the West God" he turned into a human with white, short and spiky hair and yellow eyes, with extremely long claws, also a Chinese gown that wasn't buttoned up above the navel and black pants wit black military boots. He stretched.
"…" Hinata began to walk away.
"Hinata" she turned to look at them with a bored face.
"I have a mission. Besides, you guys are annoying. Ahhh also, there are some mist nins behind you" she said as she began to walk away again. Seri sighed.
"well… at least her personality hasn't changed" Seisui nodded. "Well let's get the fight started, I get mad when people take to long to attack"
-50 mins later-
-Pant- "That was tough –pant- ufff, I'm tired –pant" the others nodded.
"Ano… Seri-sama –pant- what is your relationship with Hinata?" Sakura asked as she tried to regain her breath. Seri looked up.
"Ahh… she has the Genbu stone –pant- Let's say that she's the only one that has a higher –pant- status than us. We are like her bodyguards" Kiba stepped up.
"She's at a higher stat than the gods?! –pant- Who the hell is she?!"
"The carrier of the Genbu stone" Seisui said as he glared at him. "Besides don't speak about my cute little Hinata like that!" Kiba blinked and backed away slowly, behind Sakura. A slight shuffle at the trees got their attention when they heard a thump and then Hinata walking towards them.
"-Yawn- thanks for taking care of them. I was tired. Heh I thought I only saw 35 nins" she said as she rubbed her neck and yawned again. The others cocked an eyebrow.
"There were only 35" Shikamaru answered.
"Really? Then why did you take so long? Not that I am complaining, since I actually got a really good sleep but normally that would be taken care of in less than ten minutes" the others stared at her as if she had just grown a second head.
"Anyway… we need to arrive at Sunagakure soon. It will be dusk in let's say twenty minutes and I doubt most of you are willing to arrive there in the night so we barely have twenty minutes to be at twenty meter's from the Sunagakure wall"
"…That's not possible. It takes four days and a half from here to Sunagakure" Neji said as he walked towards her. She burst out laughing.
"That's funny" everyone stared at her as if she was crazy.
"What part of it is funny?" Neji asked confused. Hinata smirked.
"You can get there in less than one day. Now let's go" everyone followed her while she simply walked. Even after a long while she was still unaffected.
"Can we rest please? It's seven pm!!" Ino pleaded as she fell on the ground trying to regain her breath. Hinata stopped. All the others plopped on the ground just like Ino. The sun was long since hidden and they had been running under the moonlight for one hour or so.
"… You are in an extremely bad physical condition you know?" they looked up and glared at her with all their remaining forces. "… I'll check the perimeter… you have half an hour to rest and gather yourselves up!" with that she left walking normally. Seisui followed her along with Seri.
Xxxxxxxx
"Hinata! Hinata!! God Damnit Hinata! STOP!" she stopped. "Thank you! Took you long enough to get the message!" he said in anger.
"What is it? I told you I'd check the perimeter, I thought you wanted to rest" she said in a bored state.
"…We are your guardians, implying we need to protect you" she snorted.
"Why would I need protection?" Seri and Seisui rolled their eyes.
"Because you are our master, now get over it" Seri replied as he glared at her. Seisui punched him.
"Hey! Don't treat my Hina like that!" she growled lowly and turned to look at him. Seisui froze.
"Who is yours? I'm my own possession, I don't belong to anyone" she dangerously walked towards the dragon man who was scared out of his mind.
"Hinata, Hinata, God Damnit Hinata!! Not again!! Okay, I'm sorry for doing this but" he made some hand signs, the soil around her began to freeze and it went up, freezing all. She was frozen up to her hips.
"What in the fucking world are you doing, let me, freaking, go!!" she huffed. Seri sighed.
"Calm down first and I'll let you go"
ten minutes later…
"Are you calmed now?" she turned away and slightly nodded "Good, I'm glad" he dissipated the jutsu.
"Go back with the others, I'll check the perimeter… we will begin to run again in a few minutes, we will arrive Suna today, whether they like it or not" Seisui and Seri hesitantly went back after asking her if she was sure. She nodded and they complied, still not very sure.
/ Flashback- "Hinata, remember this, YOU ARE MINE" she nodded as she hugged him even harder.
"I'm yours"
"Promise me you'll never be with anyone else" she nodded again and smiled.
"Itachi-kun,
I'm yours, no one else's, don't worry about it" he kissed her
head lightly.
"thank
you" he replied in a whisper – Flashback /
She held her head and sighed.
"Memories suck…" she grumbled as she walked around. She looked at her arm again and stared at the dragon tattoo. "What is this supposed to do?" she touched it and felt an electric current sting her. She cursed and shook her hand to get rid of the pain.
"God… ugh! Suna is annoying… I can't believe that I have to come all the way to the border between Konoha and Suna just to think. If Temari wasn't shouting all the time I'd be able to think! But no… she has a physical incapability for shutting up!" a voice growled. Hinata cocked an eyebrow and walked towards the guy. He had red hair and deep green eyes with the kanji for love tattooed on his forehead. He soon turned towards Hinata who didn't hide her chakra signature nor tried to walk silently. He glared at the intruder in fighting stance.
"Who are you?!" he growled making the deep forest's echo resonate. She looked at him bored.
"Me? Heh, not even I know. Some people claim to know me when I don't know myself. Anyways, are you a good guy or a bad guy?" he looked at her as if she was crazy, exasperating her. "I'm asking you a question Racoon-san" he twitched at the nickname she gave him and frowned.
"What kind of a question is that?" she sighed.
"Will you, or will you not, attack me?" he cocked an eyebrow.
"Do you want me to?"
"I'm not saying that, I just need to know whether or not you are a good guy or not. If you want to fight me I'll have to fight you and tell the others about someone trying to attack me and that implies that I'll have to walk towards them again without having checked the perimeter and that annoys me. So I'm just asking you an easy question, please answer me before I rip out your throat" she said with a cute, childish smile in her face.
"I'm a good guy or a bad guy depending on who you are siding with. Who are you?" he restated, making her sigh.
"You are so annoying, answering a question or two is not that hard, considering they are easy one word questions" he began moving his hands as the sand around him began to curl up. She sighed once again.
"Answer my FUCKING question" he growled, making her sit down on the floor, frustrated.
"Okay, let's do this, since I want you to answer my question and you want me to answer yours we'll both have a truce, meanwhile, just to answer the questions. After answering we'll decide whether we'll fight or not, Okay?" he pondered over it for a second.
"Fine, then who are you?" she frowned slightly.
"A Konoha Ninja… or so I think now, tell me are you a good guy?"
"I'm Konoha's ally, I'm from Suna"
"Okay… so, we're not supposed to fight… that'd mean you are a good guy. See it's not that hard" she stood up and dusted herself off.
"What is a Konoha ninja doing in the border between Suna and Konoha alone and without any apparent protection?"
"My team is behind; they were tired so I gave them a breather. I need to meet the Kazekage" he's eyes widened by a fraction.
"Kazekage?"
"Yeah, Kazekage, I think he's supposed to be the ruler of Suna… not really sure. Anyway, sorry for treating you like that, I have to go"
"Why do you have to speak with the Kazekage… if I might ask?" she looked at him for a second and then looked at him warily.
"It's a secret mission. We're not supposed to talk about it with anyone, besides as far I know you could've said that you were from Suna just so I would lower my guard" he cocked an eyebrow.
"What would I win from you lowering your guard?"
"I don't know… you tell me" suddenly a rattle was heard. They turned immediately to that direction.
"Who is there?!" he questioned suddenly. Someone started coming out when she simply appeared behind the person.
"Seisui where are your manners, when someone asks for your name you give it to them, right Seri?" she turned to look at her 'guardian kitty' who nodded.
"Seri-san!!"
"Seisui-san!!" the two guardians sighed and turned to look at the pinkette, the brunette and the blondie.
"Yeah?"
"Ohh you found her!!"
"Yeah…"
"Girls stop running so fast!" Gaara turned to see the owner of such a familiar voice and found his best friend there.
"Naruto… you took really long! Where are Sasuke-kun, Kiba-kun, Shikamaru-kun and Neji-kun?" Sakura asked tapping her foot on the floor in exasperation.
"They are walking slowly… talking. Sasuke was telling them something about a night at Orochimaru's, or something. I really didn't care much…" Ino smiled slightly at the blond, who had become something like a brother to her.
"Kazekage-sama… is that you?!" Tenten walked closer to the red haired who suddenly panicked since Hinata stared at him with an eyebrow cocked.
"… I told you we needed to find Kazekage and you couldn't even tell me you are Kazekage?!" Tenten sweat dropped at the sight of the girl who was obviously forgetting her position and yelling at someone in a higher position than her.
"Um… You said it yourself both of us could've lied just for the other to lower his/her guard"
"And you were the one that said that none of us benefited from the other lowering their guard" Gaara wasn't sure why he was slightly panicking and slightly fearing the girl but he did, thus he backed away a bit.
"Anyway… do we have to go all the way to your country just to hand YOU a scroll. I just want to go home. I thought the mission would be cooler… something like… an assassination mission or… kidnapping… maybe torture, didn't think I'd have to come all the way here just to hand you for a piece of 'important' paper" The ones who heard that were shocked that she told the Kazekage all that. Finally the boys came looking around to find the source of the commotion.
"Um… I'd rather all of you came to my country. Just to secure the scroll. I'm currently here by myself after all" Hinata rolled her eyes.
"You can teletransport?" he cocked an eyebrow and immediately answered 'yes'.
"Then you do not need us" he cursed under his breath. He wanted them to accompany him for two reasons, 1. Get to know her better 2. She's hot which will allow him to make a move on her.
"I'm currently out of chakra" he lied, at this Neji cocked his head to a side and his eyebrow rose a bit.
"No you're not. I can feel your chakra; it's at 87 of its full capacity"
"My sand isn't working" she sighed at that excuse.
"It was curling up when you weren't going to tell me whether you were a good guy or bad guy" he frowned.
"I need you to sign something in Suna" he looked down to avoid the gazes of disappointed people… that WAS one of the lamest excuses he could've said.
"Lame excuse… you know that we don't need to sign anything" she smirked for she knew he didn't have another excuse.
"What if I want my friends to come for a cup of tea?" she cursed loudly. Yeah, that wasn't one of the best excuses but she couldn't refuse an offer made for the others… he smirked since he knew that he already had her.
"Okay" she spat "we'll come with you, but we're leaving NOW and this time no breaks, I'm pissed off already"
-9:48 (2 hours 48 minutes)-
"I told you we could arrive to Suna in one day. You just need to train harder" she said as she entered the gates of Suna, Gaara hot on her heels while the others were practically on the border of dying… except Sasuke and Neji… hey, being ANBU did do them some good.
"You mentioned something about not knowing who you were, right? Why is that?" she turned to him with a bored look.
"I've been in a coma for a while… my memories were apparently hidden in my subconscious and I'm trying to remember who in the freaking hell I am. So I'm residing in a city that makes my blood boil with people who aggravate me that don't even know me yet they know more about me than I do. Besides that the past that they tell me about brings absolutely no memories so I have to recur to doing lame ass missions just to remember" she said in a bored manner making Gaara gape.
"… I really don't know what to say" he said with a slight sigh that made her rise an eyebrow.
"You don't need to say anything, unless you want to ask something else. There is technically nothing to say about it. I doubt you, Kazekage-sama, would even know what I'm going through" he turned to her and sighed.
"I'm not going to complain about your manners towards me, the first impression was after all a bad one and you are right, I don't know what you are going through, I can just… imagine what you went through" she looked at him slightly amused, for no one she knew would've known how to reply to that.
"Seems like you are a good guy after all. I like you. You're different. Had a rough childhood?" He looked at her surprised at the change of conversation.
"Why would you ask that?" She chuckled lightly at this.
"People who normally are able to retort to those kinds of comments have been through rough situations, that's why it shocked me" he looked down with a sad expression but turned to look at her with a stoic mask on.
"I've been through rough stuff that not even you can imagine" he said as they entered the Kazekage building. The place was much like a castle in sand. With it's kage tower and the other shinobi buildings. Hinata looked around as if trying to remember this place. They entered the place and went through various hallways finally reaching a big living room. She went out the balcony and stared at a big place that seemed to be deserted some miles away from the Sunagakure main house. She stared at the place as if gathering details about it. Soon she went into a daze.
/ FLASHBACK- She looked around and smirked. The guys started attacking. She just responded the same. Her speed was way too fast for the human eye and her kicks were able to send someone 500 metres away. She walked towards another set of guys, doing the same as before. She disappeared and appeared once again but once she was atop of them. She fell in a kick stance. There she began once again. She took out her weapon. It was a chain that at one of the ends had a big dagger. She began piercing skin and flesh with it, choking some and spilling blood. A cynical smile on her lips. She moved fluidly and appeared just before the last three.
"So... will you give me the goods or I'll have to take them from you?" she asked in a sweet tone. The guys scoffed, but she simply smirked. "I knew you wouldn't let it be so easy… I like long plays" she simply took the two at the side that were keeping her from the main one. She did a series of hand signs and created a clone. Each one took a side of the big space they were given.
The clone was fighting against a guy with spiked green hair. She began to surround him first, simply walking. He cowered in fear. She kicked him right in the ribs making a sick Crack resonate around the place. He tried to kick her at middle height but she crouched and soon was back up. She punched him in a series and finished with another sick kick that hit twice, first it hit his right knee and then she hit his shoulder, making him have to drop the Katana he carried. He looked at her with fear more than evident in his eyes. He was shivering and he kneeled on one knee for the other one was broken. She appeared soon behind him and grabbed his left arm and pulled on it, creating another sick crack. She appeared before him again and kicked him hard in the guts, making him fall down coughing and throwing up blood.
The second one had long blond hair and a black Chinese one pieced suit. He carried a double blade dagger and a Dao. He was fast making her smirk. He began trying to pierce her with his Dao. The dagger was just being used as distraction. He began trying in different angles and tried to pierce her. She simple dodged it, with her inhuman speed and cocked an eyebrow. He was able to predict one of her movements making her block his Dao with her chain, but the pressure he was putting was too much on her skin, for her hands started bleeding, soon he removed his Dao and he predicted another one of her movements and she didn't see it. She barely dodged it and her neck was cut, but not a profound cut. She frowned.
"I'll have to be serious then" she replied as she took out once again her Kusari-gama. The guy was moving skilfully. She jumped back away from him like 100 metres. He grinned, thinking he was making her fear him. She simply grabbed the end of the Kusari-gama's chain with one hand and with the other she simply threw the blade. The blade cut his right wrist first; she was getting tired of the Dao either way. His hand fell on the floor, leaving a pool of blood beside it. She regained the blade and licked it.
"Tasty" she replied once she licked her lips clean. She did the same once again. He jumped back and made a black flip. He fell on his knee and took support on his other hand. She took the opportunity and once again she disappeared once again behind him. She pulled him up forcefully and Kicked him in the lower back, then appearing before him and kicking him in the stomach, and so on. She did the same like fifteen times until he was coughing blood. Her clone threw the Kusari-gama and cut his left arm roughly. He began screaming in pain. The original placed the blade of the Kusari-gama against his neck and pushed him towards the floor, making her black go right through his neck, leaving a splutter of blood. She dismissed her clone and walked towards her main victim - END OF FLASHBACK/
Her eyes made a change from light lavender to violet to a twist with violet and red. She had her eyes wide open and her tattoo began to glow like crazy, along with another tattoo that she hadn't remembered she had. It was a slight circle with three black tomoes inside… just like Sasuke's. Gaara had just returned from closing the door from the living room to give them space and peace. Pain began to make its way making her clutch her shoulder brutally almost sinking her whole hand in just applying pressure to her aching shoulder. Seri and Seisui immediately caught onto this movement and the amazing glow her arm tattoo was giving off. They ran towards her making the others worry and go towards her.
"What is this…" she choked out as the pain began increasing multiplying itself x100 each time it increased. Soon she fell to the floor on her knees.
"Hinata, Hinata look at me! What are you feeling?!" Seri asked with total worry on his handsome face, making her smirk slightly.
"…Pain?" he rolled his eyes and glared at her.
"That I know you idiot. What are you feeling?!" she breathed in and out slowly.
"Piercing pain- What in the world do I have in my shoulder Fur-ball?!" he slightly glared at her at her choice in nickname but ignored it for a second, he covered his hand with a stunned expression.
"Sakura! Sakura please, you are a girl can you please move her shirt to a side and check her right shoulder?" Seri asked making Gaara and Sasuke stare at her curiously. Sakura did as she was told and soon uncovered her friend's right shoulder to reveal…
"Orochimaru's curse mark?!" Sakura yelled astounded that the Snake Lord even managed to claim Hinata as his property.
"That means that she was strong… even so that he had to recognise her power as his own…" Shikamaru added deep in thinking. Hinata simply closed one eye trying to control her pain.
"We need to calm her down…" Seisui said as he began pacing around scared. The others turned to look at him.
"Do you love her to that extent? Why are you so afraid?" Kiba asked troubled with the East God.
"He's not only worried about her; we, gods depend on her mental state, we are gods with a limited power that's why we are four Gods. But since we are four we are going to fight due to different ideas and beliefs, that's were she appears. She's not only our official-"
"Fight breaker" Seisui said still pacing, aware that he had just cut Seri off.
"Fight breaker… but she's also our source of power. If she's happy we have more power, sad… less power, mad depends… mostly more power, serene a normal quantity… but if she's troubled and confused… her power decreases amazingly. We are Gods that control the world with HER power. I suppose you can imagine why she can't be trouble and decreasing our source of power right?" the others seemed thoughtful.
"Then… if she's troubled… the whole world can suffer immediately?" Ino asked, not sure if she was comprehending.
"No… not immediately. We do have our own power… but as I said it's limited, we get unlimited power from her. So we need to be unusually peaceful and fulfil the weaknesses the other have. We have to almost act like a team… which is really hard with hot headed team mates"
"So… you are able to maintain the earth going just with her power?" Kiba asked. The two gods nodded.
"Have you had to maintain the earth going while she was troubled?" the gods turned to sakura and shook their heads.
"She's always serene and calm. Even when comatose state is supposed to be a struggle between life and death she was very calm"
"But her life when she was little wasn't serene at all. I knew her when I was little… since she was three and her father always put her down… he always humiliated and she was almost always troubled" Neji said with a constant frown that was making the others uneasy.
"She wasn't always the carrier of the Genbu stone. She assumed the position some time ago. Since she was nine and saved the Druid master. But he ended up dying… and his sons and daughters were too arrogant and selfish so he decided that she was the most suited for the job. She was, according to him, 'the purest being'" Hinata was oddly calm and silent for she should at least be asking things to recover her memory but she didn't.
"So she can't be in pain or be confused or the world and its inhabitants will suffer?!" Naruto asked with a sad expression. "I have gone through bad things… things most people can't imagine… but that's just too sad. It's too hard. Someone, as stoic as he or she is, will someday be confused. It's impossible to keep the feelings at bay… not even Sai, who had training since little, could get rid of feelings. It's impossible!"
"But somehow she's been able to. Even since she was 9" Tenten retorted.
"Still, your blond friend is right. She can't have the luxury of being in pain" Seisui answered with an annoyed tone.
"And I thought the Dragon God liked her for her beauty…" Kiba mumbled but was hit in the head by Shino.
"Don't say stupid things" he whispered to him. Seisui turned to Kiba.
"I don't 'like' people just for their beauty. I've met people more beautiful than what you can imagine. People that just one glance from them makes you turn into ashes in comparison. I love her for her strength and character, her personality and beauty. I can't imagine how they will react when they meet the really beautiful her, right Seri?" the West God blushed furiously and bit his lip.
"Shut up! She'll become herself soon" the others were confused about this.
"Why? How does she look as her beautiful her?" Sasuke asked finally cracking his stoic self. Curiosity was getting the best of him… even if he loathed Hinata.
"Some people had said she is an angel… some people called her a goddess and some called her Lucifer in flesh and blood" Seisui said with a slight glint of admiration in his eyes.
"All of these things you two are saying… is all of this true? Was this my true self?" the others turned to her. They had almost forgotten she was there… and in pain. She was no longer clutching her aching shoulder and was now supporting herself against the railing to get up. Finally on her own two feet she looked at them.
"I'm fine. You people worry to much. I'm not as weak as to succumb from simple pain" Sakura ran towards her and supported her with her right arm around her shoulders and her left hand clutching her own hands. Hinata looked down at the smaller girl.
"But you said so yourself… it was piercing pain… you even choked it out. How can you say that wasn't true pain?" Hinata locked gazes with Sakura and slightly glared at her.
"It wasn't true pain. I could control it easily. I can perfectly keep it at bay" she said rudely. Sakura smiled sadly and looked down but soon looked up again. She grabbed Hinata's chin and turned her to look at her. The others looked at Sakura freaked out… it almost looked as something taken out from a Yuri manga. Hinata had her eyebrows raised and looked at her questioning her fearful gaze.
"What is it?" Sakura let her chin go and looked away slightly shivering.
"Y-your eyes…" The others walked closer to her and she rose her head.
"Ahh… long time since I looked at those eyes…" Seisui said with a smile. The others just backed away slightly except for Naruto, Gaara and Sasuke.
"God you're annoying… they are the same eyes you have always seen…" Gaara shook his head.
"They are bright red and violet now…" he said in an amused tone that made Naruto stare at him weirdly.
"So they changed colours… big deal. I can see the exact same I used to"
"No…. Hinata do you feel exasperated… irritated or even mad?" the girl breathed in and out and shook her head.
"What if I did? It'd be thanks to these people…" Seri shook his head.
"You always have these eyes when you are in need of blood! You have bloodlust!" they started dancing happily the others stared at him confused.
"How in the freaking world is that good?" Sasuke spat. Seri and Seisui stopped momentarily.
"It's good! That's her true self! Her body remember and craves blood being spilled! She used to be able to kill 20 people with only one swing of her blade…. Per day she killed minimum 200 people! Her body needs the training and the killing. If things keep going like this she'll remember all of her memories soon enough and become the Kuroi-Tenshi she was and is!" Seisui said with teary eyes. Hinata rolled her eyes.
"You're annoying…" she said as she began walking towards the living room. Leaving all of the others behind, she sat on a couch and stared at her hands. "Was that girl really me? Am I such a monster?" she mumbled before sinking herself into unconsciousness.
YAY! Finally finished the chapter!! 11 PAGES… I feel happy… Sorry for the overly long update. But it's vacations in my country! I had to enjoy Easter week!! Anyways… I hope you like it. And please review.
