Sasuke tiredly shifted his body, lying on a metal bed isn't very comfortable. Suddenly the door creaked open and Sasuke jerked his head up. Did they come to take him back to the lab again? But he already went today. Instead, a 13 year old girl was shoved inside the room. And her bags were thrown in after her. She hissed at the pain then was about to yell at the soldier but the door got slammed shut then there was a small locking sound.

She growled and banged on the door angrily. "Let me out! Or else I'll bring this whole building down. You along with it! Ya hear me! Hey!" "Show them what you could do hime!"(Nozomi) "How dare him! Let me out! I'll tear the shreds out of them for even laying a finger on you! Let me out!"(Yuki) "Yuki! Stop it! Ugh! Hime are you okay?"(Hitomi)She nodded than sighed and slumped onto the ground tiredly, rubbing her butt. She scowled, "Didn't have to push me. I know how to walk!" Sasuke took this time to study her. She had oddly colored hair, flowing past her waist and her bangs looked like it had been straightly cut but had out grown it and looked a bit uneven yet pretty that way.

When the light hit her hair, the part that was touched by the light shimmered ad became a bit transparent like. Like an angel. Her skin was pale but had some bandages and cuts, probably from the scientists. She had a really nice figure. She wore dark blue shorts and a black t-shirt that had the letter H in the front. When she turned to look at him, he felt himself freeze a bit. She was beautiful.

Her eyes looked like the most beautiful colors mixed together with sparkles like stars in her eyes. Her face looked gentle and serene. Her lips were a light pink color and her eyelashes bordered her eyes wonderfully. Her bangs framed her face excellently, giving her a mysterious yet innocent and cute look. He regained his composure when he heard her mutter his name. How did she know his name?

Hinata's POV

I couldn't believe that Sasuke was here all along! No wonder we couldn't find him! "Sasuke?" I blurted that out without thinking. Opps. Surely he doesn't remember me. If he did he probably doesn't recognize me! He glared at me then he grabbed me neck and hissed dangerously, "How did you know my name!" I coughed and tried to pull his hands off, "Y-Y-You should k-know me!" He raised a brow. Then he narrowed his eyes in thought, "Naruto?" He eyed me up and down. "Are you that desperate that you dressed up as a girl?"

I coughed as I felt myself redden from indignity. "NO! I'm 100 percent girl! Can't you see! If I were him then I would be blond and NAKED!" He smirked and chuckled shortly, "You're right." He let go off me roughly then continued dryly, "You're one of his friends sent here to find me aren't you?" I swore I could've seen hope in his eyes. "I'm his friend but wasn't sent here on purpose. I…sorta got kidnapped." He nodded and turned away. The hope in his eyes diminished as he stroke a hand in his long, dark locks. His hair had gotten longer. His hair was roughly to his shoulders and he looked more built but the life in him seemed to be slowly diminishing. Probably from being with Orochimaru and in this hell hole.

Now I could understand why girls fell for him, standing less than a foot away from him. He was handsome like they all said. I think he even grew more attractive looking. Yet I still don't understand why they liked him that much. He always seemed cold and distant and lots of times, mean. Yet…you can never tell how a person felt on the outside. Whenever I looked right in his eyes during those rare moments…I saw pain and loneliness. It was almost like seeing a mirror of…me. "You…look…different."I said pathetically. The silence was getting a bit awkward.

Normal POV

Sasuke turned to the girl, watching her fidget uncomfortably under his gaze. Earlier, she had been really confident and loud. Now suddenly quiet? He smirked in amusement, "And I have no idea who you are at all." Her eye slightly twitched in annoyance. Now he noticed the strange marking of the white wing under her right eye and a black wing under her other. Her forehead was wrapped in bandages and a silver circlet with a silver gem in the middle.

Around her neck was the kohona ninja head band. She turned away and her single braid followed her movement with ease. "Nobody ever remembers me. Not even Sakura, TenTen and even Neji! Like you would even remember when we ever hardly talked in the past!"Hinata mumbled angrily. Sasuke raised a brow. "I don't know anyone around your age."

Hinata threw her hands up in defeat. "Of course not! I just found out that I was placed under a genjutsu that made me look two years older! And that had worn off…only two days ago! I'm the weird Hyuuga kid. Remember her?"

Sasuke blinked, what got her so mad? "Neji Hyuuga's sister?" Hinata sighed, "No. His cousin, Hinata. I was just disowned about a year ago and adopted by someone else. So I'm no longer a Hyuuga. I'm Hinata Hatake." At the last name Sasuke froze, "Hatake?" She nodded, "Your sensai." Then she swayed a bit. "I feel…weird."Hinata mumbled weakly. "Shit! That shot the doctor gave you is messing with your chakra patterns and emotion stabilities! That's why you acted weirdly and now feel weird!"(Yuki)

Hinata slid down onto the ground tiredly, "Shoot. Ano…Uchiha-san. Did that doctor give you a yellow shot?" Sasuke shook his head, "No. But he only gives those to the unstable patients to control them better. Mostly ones that can easily kill him….Did you get that shot?" Hinata nodded weakly and held her pounding head. Her fingers brushed the metal circlet around her forehead. Tsunade had gave her that so no one would be able to unwrap her bandages and know that she's the heiress or really harm her. The crystal gem pulsed slightly at her touch.

"Hime-chan? A-Are you okay? Mama! She's starting to lose control of her body!"(Nozomi) "If you get that shot than you will start to lose all of your humane…and forget everything."Sasuke knelt down, his cold eyes watching her movements. "Guess its good-bye kid." "Hime! Hold on! We know how to help you but that means we have to fuse our spirits and powers with yours. Hang on!"(Hitomi) Hinata nodded silently and turned to Sasuke. "I'm sorry. "she whispered.

Sasuke blinked. "I'm sorry I let Orichimaru kill your family and set up Itachi. ",she mumbled drowsily. "What! What did you say!"Sasuke shook her, trying to keep her awake. "I'm sorry I didn't know sooner and stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life…S-sorry." She fell forward into his arms, her head resting on his chest. While Sasuke sat there, blinking repeatedly. He scoffed, "Why are you apologizing?" Then he looked down at her, his eyes clouded.

"I should be the one. I was the one that left." The wings under her eyes glowed and the circlet pulsed violently. Bright lights engulfed her as 3 unknown chakra enveloped her like ribbons. Sasuke closed his eyes and when he opened them again, Hinata was still there. Sleeping soundly as she mumbled some innocent questions. What just happened? Sasuke sighed. "Well…at least Orochimaru's special medication didn't work on her. But that would just make Orochimaru's interest in her grow even more…but then again…why do I care?"

He didn't know that he was already falling at first sight. But will later on….

"Tsunade-sama…we have nothing. We scouted as far as we could but found no sight of her. "An Anbu knelt in front of her. Tsunade clenched her fists until her knuckles grew white. "2 days later, try again! Now dismiss!" The Anbu nodded and quickly disappeared with a puff of smoke. "Tsunade-sama…"Shizune placed a hand on the hokage's shoulder comfortingly. "I couldn't protect her! I promised her that I would be there for her Shizune! She's gone!"Tsunade yelled and slammed her fist onto the desk. It broke under her into small rubble and soon Tsunade fell onto her knees and she herself broke down into tears. Shizune looked away as she shut her eyes tightly, and a shimmering tear fell down her cheek as the moonlight beamed through it. "Hinata…"

-

Something felt different. Not bad…but it didn't feel exactly bad either. Hinata groaned and opened her eyes. A cheap light bulb from overhead shined into her sensitive eyes. She blinked. Something about her eyesight felt different. Like she could see better…and hear better? Immediately she shut her eyes again and rolled over onto…a metal bed! Hinata shot up and banged her head on the metal bunk bed overhead. "Gah!"Hinata yelped and fell off the bed and onto the

cold floor with a large thump. She groaned and rubbed her head tenderly. "Owie. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" She stopped chanting when she heard a laugh.

She looked up to see black orbs staring down at her with a smug look. "U-Uchiha-san." "Now you're back to your own self now I suppose?"He asked as he held out a hand. Hinata looked at it, a faint blush trickling across her face. "Well?" Sasuke smirked, amusement flickering in his eyes. Hinata slowly took his hand and Sasuke pulled her to her feet. The moment their skin brushed against each other, a shock and tingling sensation flooded through their body. It…strangely felt …good.

Hinata immediately let go and looked away from his eyes while she tried to still her rapidly beating heart. "Aw! Our hime is all grown up! She finally found true love!"(Hitomi) "How cute! Hime go get him!"(Nozomi) "Whatever. If he hurts you in any way then I�will PERSONALLY take care of him! But don't forget that there are about�8 other boys waiting for you."(Yuki) Hinata blinked, "Eight!" Yep."(all) "Ten what?"Sasuke asked. Hinata laughed nervously, "Nothing!" Sasuke raised a brow than shrugged, "Alright but what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Hinata asked. "You fainted last night when the shot was taking its effect…but suddenly…just what happened?" Hinata blinked. "Oh yeah. We were about to tell you about that…"(Nozomi) "You see…we kind of fused our powers and spirit with yours to keep you…well you and not turn into a walking zombie."(Hitomi) "So…now…let's just say be careful with your emotions or your powers can become unstable and burst out. You will need a lot of training."(Yuki)

"Does that mean I'm a…"Hinata trailed off. "Yes…just like us." At that moment everything seemed to have slow down on her. Then she finally realized her situation. "I have to get out of here."Hinata breathed, she spun around and her eyes met with Sasuke's baffled ones. "How long have you been here?" "2 years duh."He answered and sat on the metal bed, eying her suspiciously. "You're not planning to escape aren't you?" "No."

Then she picked up the swords they had thrown in along with her other stuff. "You're coming with me." Sasuke jumped up, "Are you serious! Do you know where you are? How are you going to escape in this place!" Hinata nodded, "O-Of course I do. That's why I have to leave. And with you helping it'll be easy." He was about to say something else until the metal door slowly creaked open from its heavy weight. Immediately Hinata hid her swords under the bed and acted like she was sleeping on the bed.

The door fully opened to reveal the soldier from yesterday. Sasuke glared at him, "Listen, I already went twice this week-" "Not you Sasuke-sama. I only need the girl."The soldier politely nodded to Sasuke since he was Orichimaru's favorite. Hinata slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Me? Again!" The soldier swiftly walked in and yanked her out of bed with a fistful of her hair. "Hurry up girl! I got no more time for your dilly dallying!" Hinata gave a yelp when he pulled her along with him roughly and slammed the door closed. Sasuke frowned, "This isn't good…"

Hinata swallowed nervously as she got pushed roughly into a dark room. The air inside was deep and had a somewhat horrible stench to it. Blood. Hinata covered her mouth and nose to keep from gagging but something about the smell stirred something inside of her. Mmmm…blood. Hinata froze when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "I sssee that the ssshot isn't working. Why isss that?" That voice. She never had forgotten that voice. She reluctantly turned around and her breath stopped in her throat. Her eyes were met with pale yellow snake like eyes. Hime!

Not soon later Sasuke heard a blood curdling scream echo eerily in the building. He closed his eyes and shoved his hands in his pockets. "I knew it." 6 hours later a body was shoved in the room. Although not as rough as the shove would be. Sasuke was sitting on the bed when Hinata was bought in by the soldier from earlier. He looked at the girl's body on the ground with pity before slamming the door shut. Hinata gave a choked gasp as she breathed in. Her body looked drained and new bandages were around her body from the 'experiments and a new training session'. But then he saw a black marking on her neck. She looked up at him and weakly sat up. "Move over." His eyes widened when he saw that her eyes were now amber and had sharp demonic like pupils. He saw those eyes before…in Naruto's blood thirsty ones.

1 week later

Hinata poked her food grudgingly as her face became faintly green. "What is this stuff?" Sasuke opened one of his eyes to see what she was addressing before shrugging and closing them again. "How do you eat these?"she looked over to the other tables to find the other 'prisoners' , soldiers, and ninjas that came willingly chow them down like the best tasting dish ever. She looked back at it and sweat dropped. It was cold and slimy with yellow stuff slopping off. It was suppose to be meat loaf but looked like a mutated dish of green salad. She pushed it away and looked at Sasuke to see his dish licked clean. "You already ate it?" She asked, disbelieving.

He shook his head and pointed to the guy sitting next to him with 8 plates piled high while he busily chomped down more dishes. Hinata gaped then closed her mouth, not wanting to be rude. Sasuke opened one of his eyes to study her. "You sure talk a lot. I thought you used to be shy. And you sure are hyper like you haven't been going to the labs almost every day." Hinata blushed and twiddled with her fingers, going back to her '10' year old self. He smirked in amusement when her lips formed in a barely noticeable pout and turned away from him. "I-I would like to enjoy the time outside of that place…well like there's anything to enjoy here anyway." Sasuke's eyes clouded than he turned away.

"Sasuke-san…" A guy with gray yet healthy hair tied in a ponytail with glasses walked to them. Hinata's eyes widened as flashes of the chuunin exam rushed into her head. "You…"she whispered. He was the guy that saved her from the heart attack! Kabuto looked over her and smiled ,though it seemed like he was holding a lot of secrets under that smile. "And you're the newbie. I can't believe you already got the curse mark. You must be really special. Pleased to meet you. And what might your name be?" Hinata hesitated and took his hand.

Don't tell him your real name! Orochimaru could get curious and find out about you!(Hitomi) "My name is K-Kazumi Masumi." Kabuto smirked, "Harmonious beauty and true purity? That fits you." Hinata blushed when he kissed her hand. Sasuke glared at Kabuto, "Well?" The grey haired boy smirked and let go, "My, my eager aren't we? This way Sasuke-san." When they left Hinata let out a breathe she didn't know she was holding and quickly wiped her hand. The moment he touched her, her instincts were going crazy. She tried very hard to not�slap him and act disgusted. "Hey you want that?" Hinata looked up to see a tall attractive,dark haired girl pointing to her dish. "N-No you can have it mame." The lady blinked and laughed, "Sorry but I'm a boy actually." Hinata felt her face burst into a cherry red color. "O-Oh I'm sorry." He laughed. "No problem. I had worst experiences in here. Some guys actually tried to flirt with me!" He made a gagging noise and Hinata giggled.

"My name's Haku. And you're…Kazumi right?" Hinata took this time to study him. He almost looked like a girl version of Sasuke because of the dark hair and eyes but he was about 2 years older and his hair was pulled in a low ponytail. And his voice was indeed masculine. And his dark eyes seem to hold pain from the past and now. And unmistakably she thought she saw…the knowledge of death. "U-Um, nice to meet you Haku-san."

9hours later

Hinata paced around in the cell room worriedly. "It's been long enough. He hadn't trained this long before." Hinata glanced under the bed. "No…not yet. I mean I already know every crack, ever turn, every soldier, and everyone's shift and the weakest security times by using the Byacktogun. But…" But what hime?(yuki) Hinata slumped onto the bed, doubts , seeping into her mind. You're not confident of yourself.(Hitomi) But we'll be here to back you up. Don't worry!(Nozomi) Hinata glanced back down under the bed then at the scars on her body from the 'experiments'. "Enough is enough Orochimaru. I'll come back for you later. I'll make sure of it."Hinata whispered.

-

Sasuke grunted as he dodged a kunai. Flashes of memories flooded his head. "No! Sasuke please don't leave! You have us too!" "Teme! Are you stupid or what! You were never alone!" "I'm sorry I didn't stop you…" "I am a fool." he scoffed. Kabuto raised a brow, "What was that Sasuke-san?" Sasuke panted tiredly and smirked, "I'm a fool."

"Yes you are!",a female voice boomed in the room. "Hinata?"Sasuke turned around and suddenly the room went dark and a soft hand grasped his, a familiar sensation flooded him. "Come on! We're getting out of here!" When the name finally registered in his head, Orochimaru's eyes widened. "Hinata?" But the two were already gone.

-

Another soldier fell down and again Sasuke was amazed by the pale and timid girl. Wasn't she supposed to be the weakest of all of them? And her swords were amazing and so was her movements, they were fluid and quick like fire and water. "This way."They ran down the hall quickly while Hinata scanned place with her Byacktogun. She froze in front of a room. The door opened and a soldier stepped out with a dark haired person. "Kazumi?"

"So how did you end up in here Haku-san?" Hinata asked as she watches Haku bite into the 'mutated salad'. His eyes slightly glistened. "I don't know the story very well myself." He turned to her and played with the food. "In fact I thought that I died. … I was so sure of it. I swear I remember the horrible feeling…of death. But when I knew for sure that I was really dead…something happened." Hinata's eyes widened. "What…happened?" He looked up and sadly smile, "A miracle I guess. I woke up again. And the scary thing is that seeing another body of me lying next to me. IT was dead like I was. All my love ones died already so I just wandered around the place and got captured in this hellhole for my water techniques." The sadness was so clear in his eyes. Hinata felt her heart skip a beat. She smiled and took his free hand, "Well from now on I'll be your friend too." The spark of hope and happiness in his eyes told her that she did the right thing. He smiled, "Promise?" She laughed when he started to pout. "Yeah. No matter what."

"Haku?"Hinata now recognized the dark haired beauty in front of her. The soldier next to Haku growled, "What are you two doing! Guar-" Hinata leaned forward and knocked the soldier out before any more would come. She turned to look at Haku who stared back with sad eyes. "Hinata! Let's go already!"Sasuke hissed as he turned to see if anyone was coming. "They'll alert the others in no time now!"

Haku weakly smiled, "Go on. I'll slow down the others." Hinata shook her head, " No you're coming." "What!", Sasuke and Haku blinked. "I said we're friends no matter what remember?", Hinata smiled. Haku felt his cheeks flush as he felt his heart throb at her words. Then the pounding feet of soldiers woke them up."Come on!", Hinata ran forward as the other two followed her closely.

"Sasuke!"Hinata yelled when they came to the expected dead end. He nodded and his hand glowed blue, "Chidori!" He punched the wall and it came down easily. "Now let's teleport inside the forest." They soon disappeared in a whirlwind, hand in hand. "Hey!" "Where did they go?" "The boss is going to be pissed!" "Indeed he issssss" They turned around to see Orochimaru glowering with anger. "S-Sir-", the guards were cut off by their own screams of agony and soon a storm of blood�rained down on on what was left of them. Orochimaru scowled, licking his fingers cleaned while Kabuto cowered from the back, never seeing him so angry. "Hinataaa..."

-

Kakashi sighed as he straightened the lavender colored sheets. A soft scent of sweet pea, lilac, and strawberries lingered in the room. It was Hinata's smell. He sat down onto the bed tiredly and watched the wind breeze into the room, ruffling the pale blue curtains as it passed the window. "Hinata…. Please be okay…." The night stars blinked and the moon twinkled as he turned away and held onto the doorknob. He took one last look at the room and closed it. "Hi..na…ta…." The wind whistled and drifted off into the horizon…and blossom petals floated along with it, into the moonlight sky.
