***I apologize for chapter seven everyone because I don't think it was as good as I had wanted it to. I don't really write good when I'm depressed because my mind is usually on dying and suicide but good thing that is over! I am feeling waaaay better now and totally over the dumb joke. Thank you to those of you who had cared for me. I dedicate this chapter to you all =^v^=

Rebirth

Chapter 8: Purgatory Pt. 1

Hinata awoke drowsily in the morning and to her surprise, everyone in her room was gone. She slowly sat up and a crumbled peice of paper fell from her bust to her lap, Meet me at the South dock of the Nanako River. Noon. Hinata dropped the letter to the floor and held onto her head; lately the whisperings have gotten louder, she'd thought she'd get used to them by now, but it's worser. Hinata crawled to her suit case and grabbed a finely folded lavender shirt and blue capris, then wore them. Slipping on her black sandals, she slided out the door and quietly walked down the creaking stairs with her cell phone in hand. That Tobi guy was sitting on the couch and he swung his legs back and forth, another blonde girl was sitting next to him, clearly pissed off. "Tobi! You dipshit un!" Wow... And she has a potty mouth. "What are you staring at?" Hinata squeeked and jumped a little, she placed a hand to the side of her face, blocking the two out of her view as she tried to exit the old building. "Hey I'm talking to you!" The blonde woman pulled Hinata's wrist harshly and they made eye contact.

"I-I'm s-s-so-sorry miss!" Hinata raised the other hand over her face in protection.

"Miss? You think I'm a-"

"Well you do look like a woman, sempai," the man with the mask shrugged and chuckled while scratching his black hair.

"You shut the fuck up un," he pointed to the childish person then directed his glare at his victum again, "I am not a girl nor anything near the female race! I'm a man yeah!" Hinata stared wide eyed at him then slowly nodded.

"It's not polite to be mean to our guest," the entrance to Ame hotel opened and bright red hair shined from the sun light outside. The boy walked towards them and Hinata was mesmerized from his chocolately brown eyes. They looked almost like candy was reflected from his bored eyes. "Let her go, Deidara," the blonde guy sighed loudly then nodded as his hold on her let go. Hinata looked at her savior and smiled, it immediately turned into a frown as the red head glared at her, "We'd have our time to do that later," Okay, maybe not so much of a savior. He was kind of scary even for being so small, she quickly bowed her head and jogged out of this crazy place. These people are weeeiiirdos.

She walked among the dirt pathway and took in the beauty of the old fashion houses and stores that are empty. Hinata dialed a number on her phone and she waited as the ringing dialed for the person to pick up. She didn't pick up her phone. Hinata called again. And she picked finally picked up after the third ring. "Hinata?" She asked, "Hinata you shouldn't be calling me... Father would get mad again, you know..."

"I know.. But I just wanted to know how you are Hanabi," Hinata continued walking, "So how are you? What did the doctors say?"

"I'll be out of the hospital in a couple of more days, the doctors' say I'm recovering well," Hanabi replied.

"That.. That's good to hear," a small smile grew on her face, "So... Umm-"

"Hey Hinata?" She questioned from the other line, "I've been thinking about... About last time. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words about you." Before Hinata could speak she had already started talking again, "You don't have to forgive me, You've always forgiven me for everything I've done but this time is different.. I was wrong, I was wrong about what I said, it wants-"

"Don't say stuff like that! Hanabi don't be like this, please," Hinata pleaded. She failed to read her sister's real emotion through the phone, the other line started becoming static-y and Hinata yelled some more into her cellular device. Damn. No use, no signal. Hinata held her phone up into the sky and tried to get a signal so she could continue talking with her sister but failed. "Dumb thing," she muttered and glanced at the electronic time before stuffing the item into her back butt pocket. 11:45

Hinata walked slowly down the road then gasped loudly. She stuck her body to the opposite wall from the man and continued walking. It was the mean red head. Wait, no it wasn't. It's just someone she worked with, maybe she could ask him where the others were at. "E-excuse me," she started out then cleared her throat, "Do you know where Mr. Kakashi and the other rest of the crew are?" He stared down at her with his aquamarine eyes then answered.

"Everyone is taking a tour around Konoha with Konan," he was about to walk away but another question arose in her head.

"Do you know where the Nanako River is?" He rose an invisable brow at her then glanced behind him.

"Probably a mile up there," he went towards his destination and Hinata sighed. This dude looked as hard as stone and he sounded like it too. She hung her head down, how long was a mile anyways? So then Hinata continued on her journey up the hill and sighed. It was hot out.

Standing and leaning on a tree, the Hyuga wiped her sweat off her face and neck. A cracking noise was heard from above and the branch her arm rested on broke. Hinata yelped as she lost her balance and fell into the woods. She rolled in the grass and leaves and then finally halting to a stop as she hit a tree. Groaning from the pain in her abdomen, the girl slowly stood up and waited for the pain to cease and go away. She took this time to look around her, she was still surrounded by trees but there was a dock where one could go fishing nearby. Ignoring the burning sensation on her lower half of the body, she walked slowly towards the dock, was this the right one? She questioned, was it okay to come here when a stranger tells you to, too?

She didn't step onto the wooden plate with dried up algae on it. What was this feeling? Hinata bit her lip as she shivered, what she felt was excitement. She was excited and curious as to where this place was. Yes, it was also scary being alone in the woods, but she was never really "alone" nowadays. She took her first step onto the shaky, old dock and a cold chill shook her spinal cord. She had been here before; if Hinata remembered correctly, there was another house beyond those trees. A house of fans.

An immense pressure suddenly slammed into Hinata's back like someone was tackling her into the green river, Hinata turned her head slightly to try and see who her attacker was.. A blur. Cold water entered her throat and nose. A nolgistic feeling of puke climbed itself to the exit in her but she used all her might to swallow the nasty, burning liquid back to her stomach again. What was that? That thing down by the bottom that was moving. Shifting closer to her. Hinata opened her mouth and bubbles surfaced to the top. Freezing blue hands grabbed onto her wrists and she stared horrified at the man before her. Her heart thumped faster and faster, her face became beet red as she needed air to come back into her lungs, she couldn't move her body, couldn't even blink.

A small smile played about on his lips as his face crept closer to hers. His cold dead body pressed roughly against her's as he dragged her deeper and deeper into the murky water. As his icy lips were about to touch her pale ones, she was pulled away and into the light above them. Hinata always hoped that when she died, she'd become god's angel or at least be rested in peace in good hands. But that wasn't the case.

"Are you alright?" Her vision was blurry as she tried to focus on the man who saved her. Hinata immediately wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck and cried. Oh he just didn't know how glad she was to see another human again. The man above her tensed and continued staring at her in confusion. Her arms became limp on her sides again as she tried to get up, "You should rest first," he stated. Since when was Sasuke this caring? She asked herself, Hinata stared down at her feet, the feeling of anxiety hung around her, she wasn't excited anymore after seeing the dead body-dead body! Maybe she could stop the curse on her by taking out the body and burying it next to his family!

"S-Sasuke! Sasuke!" She grabbed onto his hand and pulled him to the dock. It was no longer nasty and old, but clean like it had just been built yesterday, "There's a d-dead body in t-that river!" Hinata pointed her finger towards the body of water, but was surprised at how clean it was now. Wasn't the water disgustingly green just earlier? Cleaning it would probably take months, maybe years, "Sasuke, how did you guys clean the water so quickly?"

The man pulled his arm away from her and she continued looking into the water. It was so clear that you could see the fishes swimming in the bottom, "Stop calling me by my brother's name, it's rude," the man started walking away and Hinata could hear her heart thudding in her ears even though it felt like it had sunk to the bottom of her feet. She slowly craned her neck around to look at the man, heart beating faster, she was breathing erratically and beads of sweat rolled down her temples to her chin. Hinata stood as still as lizard who was hiding from a hawk. This was definately not Sasuke. No. Not him. Her voice croaked as she tried to say a word, but couldn't form any. Hinata stepped backwards and lost her footing, the man sprang foward and pulled her arm so she wouldn't be falling back into the freezing cold water, "You should start being more careful," he stated and she pulled away from him. She would do anything to get away from this guy, he was a cold blooded monster.

"D-don't c-c-come near me," she walked towards the woods with her back facing to it and couldn't help but be caught into his onyx gaze. His dark eyelashes moved as he blinked, when he re-opened his eyes she had fainted, seeing red as the last color in her vision.

"Troublesome servant girl," he exhaled loudly through his nose and aimlessly swung Hinata's limp body around his shoulder.

"Big brother! You're back from war!" A young little boy, about the age of twelve ran out of the large mansion to greet his sibling, "Who is that?" His nose scrunched up at the girl wearing weird clothes. Women aren't supposed to wear pants.

"I was visiting the Nanako River when I found her drowning so I saved her, Sasuke, where is father?" The boy frowned with his bottom lip plucked out, then he pointed to the mansion and the man continued walking with Hinata on his shoulder. He laid her down on the floor to his father's office room and they chatted about what had happened when he was fighting or how many other people he had killed.

Hinata's eyes snapped open and she stared at her surroundings, she had never been to this place before. She was breathing harshly as she tightly closed her eyes and re-opened them in hopes of being back into the water or waking up to a face she knew. But all was failed. "Stop it, we know you're awake," Hinata sat up and stared at the man and another curiously.

"My son has saved your life, how will you repay him?" The older man stated in a loud and clear voice that made Hinata jump a little. Repay him? Hinata wondered, what did he mean by repay? "Do you expect to live freely when you are at his debt? I think not, servant girl, you are now to be my son's slave and his new wife's slave," What? A slave? Seriously? "Yukino," he called and an old woman opened the door and crawled on her knees until she reached Hinata, then bowed to the scary men.

"Take this girl and change her clothing, it's disrespecting just to see it."

"Yes Itachi-sama," the woman quickly pulled Hinata by the arm and they left. Itachi... She was Itachi Uchiha's slave now... How'd her life get so messed up like this? Hinata choked back the tears as she thought of never seeing her loved ones again. If she had known before, she'd tell Hanabi she loved her to death.

End of the chapter and Hinata and Itachi finally meets! Yahoo! I hoped you guys liked this chappie :3 and I'm guessing most of you (or maybe all) want HinaxIta, right? Well be patient, it's coming

I wasn't sure to use "un" or "Yeah" for Deidara so I kind of used both

Purgatory-is the condition or process of purification or temporary punishment in which, it is believed, the souls of those who die in a state of grace are made ready for Heaven.
