'Ello! =D I was thinking about uploading this tomorrow since I uploaded Chapters 2 and 3 already but tomorrow is too far away. So~ here is Chapter Four! Thanks to all the people who are reading and reviewing my story! Oh and I changed the rating to M because Hidan's naughty language makes me so embarrassed *blush*
Chapter Four: Search Party; Akatsuki's New Servant
"There's no sign of Hinata anywhere around here," Neji announced, staring straight into his Uncle's pale eyes. Neji, Kiba, Shino, and Prince Sasuke have been searching for the missing princess since early morning but all they found where two guards and a woman who were all murdered. "Inuzuka-san believes that Lady Hinata has been captured."
King Hiashi turned his cold eyes to Kiba, waiting for confirmation. "There were other scents mixed in with Lady Hinata's. Three, I believe. One came from the scent of the dead woman we found and two I could not recognize."
Hiashi turned to the two other kings that were with him; King Minato and King Uchiha. They talked amongst themselves for a while, deciding what to do. They couldn't possibly send out a large amount of people to go search for Hinata, it would most likely bring panic to the people. No doubt the Akatsuki were behind this, their proof was the strange symbol drawn with blood next to the dead woman's body. And if the Akatsuki really did kidnap Hinata, then most likely she was either dead by now or there was going to be some kind of ransom.
The Hyuga king turned to his nephew. "Neji, form a small group and search for Hinata. If you find nothing in three days, return right away. All of you are dismissed."
"Sasuke, we must return home. Lord Hiashi, I will inform you if we find anything concerning Princess Hinata." King Uchiha shook hands with his fellow kings and then left. "Good luck on finding the Princess, Hyuga-san," Sasuke said before following his father. When Sasuke took a step out of the throne room, he saw a certain blond prince walking towards him.
"Well, if it isn't the idiot prince."
Naruto glared at Sasuke and walked right passed him, bumping shoulders. He wasn't in the mood to bicker with his childhood rival and he definitely wasn't in the mood to admit that Sasuke was right. What was he thinking? Even though he was in love with Sakura, he was engaged to Hinata. He shouldn't have kissed Sakura and should ended everything but seeing her cry like that… Now he was even more stressed out!
As he entered the throne room, he heard Neji speaking to Kiba and Shino about a rescue mission. Before the three young men could leave, Naruto called them out. "Are you guys going to go out and find Princess Hinata?" he asked curiously. "Yeah! We're leaving as soon as-"
Shino elbowed Kiba and told him to shut up in a hushed whisper and then left with Kiba to get ready for the mission. Neji glared icily at Naruto who glared back. "Let me come," Naruto insisted. "No, you're just going to get in the way! Don't you think you've caused enough trouble?" the Hyuga prodigy snapped, not caring that his Uncle and Naruto's father were watching them. "Yes. It's my fault that Lady Hinata is gone so I should be the one to bring her back, or at least help!" The two young men began to bicker, throwing insults at each other until Hiashi was becoming more irritated.
"ENOUGH! Neji, allow Prince Naruto to accompany you. Unless Lord Minato has any objection?"
Minato shook his head and looked at his son sternly. "Naruto, do not make any more mistakes and do not become a burden to Hyuga-san and his guards. Do you understand?" Naruto nodded. "Yes, sir. I promise to have Lady Hinata back!" Naruto quickly sprinted out of the room and Neji dropped his jaw and looked at his Uncle with despair. "Remember, three days, Neji… and close your mouth, you look like a fool."
~*~*~*
Hinata slowly opened her eyes to find that she was in a very, very dark room. Pitch black, to be exact. She sat up, feeling the soft material beneath her. Th-That's strange… I-I thought my sh-sheets were s-silk… M-Maybe N-Neji-kun changed them f-for me… However, that didn't explain why it was so dark. Hinata folded her arms against her chest and thought about what she was doing before she went to sleep. In an instant, Hinata felt ultimately depress. All she could think about was her fiance kissing another woman who was much prettier and most likely more of a proper lady than she was. She was filled with envy, wanting to be the one who Naruto loved. She gently bit down on her lower lip and buried her face into her hands, getting ready to cry but she didn't. S-Something's on my f-face..
Hinata pulled off a strip of material off of her face and light hit her eyes. She stared down at her hands to see that she had been blindfolded and fear replaced her depression.
"Yay! Princess-chan finally took the blindfold off! Ita-kun says that Princess-chan has very pretty eyes! Let Tobi see!"
Did this voice belong to the Skeleton Man? She now remembered that the last thing she saw was the hideous and terrifying face of the Skeleton Man and this made her tremble. "Aw, c'mon! Let Tobi see~!" the strange voice whined. Hinata hesitated but eventually looked to be face to face with a strange orange-swirl face man.
"Ehh?!?!? Ita-kun was right! Princess-chan does have pretty eyes! Tobi is in love!" He threw himself on her, cuddling her and giggling madly. Hinata began to scream, her flight or fight response was kicking in and right now, she wanted to run. However, when the strange, clingy man would not release her despite her screaming, veins appeared on either sides of her eyes and she began striking the orange faced man in places she could reach.
The door to the room opened and a very displeased man walked in. "Tobi, get off. Now!" Tobi whined and rolled off of Hinata and ended up falling off of the bed. "But Ita-kun, Tobi is in love! Princess-chan is so pretty!"
Hinata was panting heavily, her heart pumping blood fast. She turned her eyes to the stranger and her cheeks turned red. "P-Prince S-Sasuke?" she called out but quickly realized that she was wrong, it was just a man who looked like him. "I apologize for this man's rude behavior. It's been awhile, Princess Hinata, although I doubt you remember me. The last time we met was when you were still a child." Hinata remained silent as the Sasuke-look-alike was picking Tobi off of the floor and shooing him away.
"Y-You're P-Prince I-Itachi?"
The man nodded, "I haven't been called that in years though. Get up, we are to meet with Leader-sama now… and don't say you can't because I saw how you fought back against Tobi." Hinata blushed deeply as the veins at the side of her eyes disappeared and quickly followed after Itachi, not wanting to anger him. She stayed close to him since he was the only person who she sort of knew in the new building she was in. From the looks of it, it was a very large old house, maybe a small mansion.
In a matter of minutes, the two had stopped in front of the door. "Princess Hinata, only speak when you are asked a question. Even though you are royalty, you are nothing but a mere commoner here." Hinata nodded and once the door was opened, they entered a room where several people were gathered. The Hyuga scanned the room, seeing how different each person looked from one another yet they all wore the same black chin-high cloak with red clouds.
"Come closer, Lady Hyuga," a man with auburn hair and several piercing along the bridge of his nose commanded. He was standing behind a desk and there was a woman with flower-like accessory in her blue hair right next to him. Hinata took in a deep breath and took a few steps forward, trying to be brave as to not bring shame to her father. "How are you feeling?" he asked, eyeing her.
Hinata told herself to stay still but by a force of habit, she brought her index fingers together, pushing them against each other. "I-I… I d-don't know…A-A little confused." There was a snicker among the group of men and Hinata was about to look but the man in front of her spoke again. "If it isn't obvious by now, you are being held hostage by the Akatsuki. That is, until your dear father decides to give us what we want. If not then…"
"Pl-Please don't hurt m-my father!"
Itachi mentally slapped his forehead. Did he not tell the princess to not speak unless the Leader asked her a question? Even though he was not entirely close to the princess, he remembered that she and his younger brother often played together as kids and he had to watch over them. Thus, he couldn't help it but feel responsible for her well-being. Pein smirked. "Foolish girl, we do not intend to hurt your father, even if he doesn't accept our proposal. However, if he doesn't accept and we deem you as useless, then we will kill you. With that said, you are now the Akatsuki's little servant. No one is allowed to harm her, understand? Now, everyone get out!"
A few of the men began to cheer much to Hinata's dismay. "Yes! We got ourselves another wench! It's been months, thanks to Hidan sacrificing her to that stupid god of his, un!"
"Hey, you mother fucker! Jashin-Sama will not stand for your bullshit! That bitch was fuckin pissin me off! Seriously!"
Hinata turned her head and gawked at the man with silver hair. "Sk-Skeleton M-Man!" she said, thinking out loud. The silver man looked at Hinata before turning his attention to the tall man beside him, nudging him with his elbow. "See? I told ya she would fuckin remember me. Look at her, she's fuckin checkin out my hot bod too!" Hinata turned bright red and felt irritated. Hidan quickly walked over and placed his arm around her shoulders. He began walking, forcing her to follow him. "'Sup, babe. Wanna come visit my room?"
Th-This man! H-How rude! D-Doesn't h-he h-have any m-manners?!
"I-I'm s-sorry, s-sir, b-but pl-please unhand m-me!"
"Call me Hidan and I don't fuckin think so. Now, c'mon, I'll make you feel fuckin real good if- Oof!"
Hidan was now on the floor with Tobi sitting on top of him. "No! Hidan isn't allowed to touch Princess-Chan! Princess-Chan is Tobi's new friend!" He quickly got off of the immortal and ran over to Hinata, grabbing her hand. "Let's go to the kitchen, Princess-chan! Tobi is hungry and wants to make a sandwich with his new best friend! Let's run!" Tobi made a dash for it, pulling Hinata along. "W-Wait! P-Prince I-Itachi~!!"
"Come back here, you piece of fuckin shit!" Hidan roared as he got up and chased after them. Itachi watched the two idiots and the princess run off with no facial expression. "Shouldn't you stop your partner? After all, harming the princess might lead to a smaller fortune for her ransom…" he asked the tall man that was standing right next to him. In a matter of a few seconds, there was a high-pitched scream, a long chain of curses, and mad giggling followed by a loud crash. Kakuzu's left eye twitched and began to walk quickly in the direction the three went. "HIDAN! IM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU FUCKING TRY, BITCH!"
Wheww! Now that Hinata is finally introduced to the Akatsuki, maybe we'll have more HinataxHidan moments. I know the servant thing has been done loads of time... as well as Hinata somehow becoming a member of the Akatsuki but I'll try to add some twists. x_x
Okies~ Thanks for reading! Until next time! Mwha! ^o^
