Anyway thank you for your reviews and patient waiting. Enjoy cause why won't you? It's my creation after all.

STAY CLOSE OR SUFFER.

October 12th, Twilight.

'This is beyond ridiculous.' Who would have known the shy hyuga would have so much tantrums up her sleeves? Yesterday night they she attempted to actually run away from him and it turned out bad som that he had to knock her out in case the things became way out of hands. Perhaps it was the tiredness, was what he took to convince himself. And today morning she was as stubborn as a goddamn mountain. She absolutely refused to go with him. He had to pin her to the wall to refrain from using annoying chakra blocks. Now that he thinks about it that would have been an uncomplicated situation, a more likeable situation than this.

When he pinned her he might have been a bit too close, as a result, she fainted. Perhaps it was tiredness, was something he had to repeat to convince himself, again.

Therefore here he was slouched on the chair, eyeing the sleeping woman curled on the bed. Investing the very brim of his patience he climbed up on the bed and sprinkled water onto her face. She scrunched her face here and there then hastily opened her eyes. Once realisation fell upon her she scurried back hitting herself in the worn out walls.

"You do realise there might be termites?" Impatiently he reprimanded her for the erratic actions. He didn't want to attract attention that is why they were here in the first place and now her childlike actions will bring all the attention he dearly despises.

"We're leaving now, it's upon you wheather you come or I drag you. " His gruff voice as intimidating as ever.

"No. Let me go. " She tightened her clasped hands in front of her chest. This is a nightmare!

"As I said. " His steps barging through personal boundaries, he stalked closer and intertwined their hands. "I'll drag you then. " And he did. He jerked her hands and pulled her with him. She squirmed under his grasp thoroughly trying to pull trick and block his chakra points, all in vain. He wasn't one of the strongest for nothing. Once out in the daylight he took the liberty of warning her once more. "Stay close. "

Hinata knew she was in trouble, that even though he kidnapped her he wasn't going to treat her like a fellow shinobi or whatever. Plus she has absolute no idea where she was, he was only behaving with her patiently because she knew Naruto-kun. That hurt, it hurt that it still needed someone else's presence for her to be safe. But at that moment when he said, 'stay close.' She felt like she should oblige.

That became a necessity when, after travelling a little further they reached dark alleys full of lecherous man, either smoking or vividly doing profane activities. Her gut stirred when she watched a girl getting getting inapposite touches everywhere. Just the thought of being in her place made her skin scream. She wanted to help, she couldn't afford to let that girl get anymore molested. So with all her strength she jerked her hand and expected to flee. However her feet won't move and she felt herself getting dizzier and dizzier.

"Damn woman. " She felt a warm arm around her shoulder slide down to her hands, intertwining their fingers. "Your chakra is with me. I'll give it to you a little but try that thing once again and you're dead. " He whispered those last words which made shivers run down her spine. Abruptly nodding her head she tried to steady herself.

So all this time when she felt this defenseless and weak was because her chakra was stolen from her!? How dare he. She hated the him more than ever now. Why would he keep her defenseless in a place like this? Looking at her surroundings she was definite such incidents were not a one time thing. Was he? No that can't be! Was he actually trying to..? Bile rose in her throat at transpire of the disgusted thought. All she wanted was to get away. She wriggled her wrists a few times more but he wouldn't budge. Fine! I'll escape at the right time.

Begrudgingly, she followed him through the rotten snickets filled with criminals from bingo book to pause in front of a desolated place. Hinata's horror fantasy was coming true bit by bit, her heart sank and she was really itching to kill this Uchiha. No wonder he had so many enemies.

He nudged her once more to warn her not to do such suicidal actions again to which she only responded with an expression that conveyed, 'pure disgust' and nothing else. He remained apathetic and dragged her close with him. The doors where rusted and she expected it to be kami forsaken garage , instead it was a pub. Drinks, prostitute and debauchee were all over the place , hinata's skin was crawling. One of them might be her, was a thought stuck in her brain, molesting her with recurrent tumors. She had bit her lips to prevent a heart wrenching scream from getting loose.

Sasuke pushed her in a corner littered with some seating here and there. "Stay here. I'll be back. " He curtly informed her and disappeared in the tavern.

This is my chance! I can't let him sell me or rape me! I'm running! Her frantic thoughts got the best of her, her motivation was her source of energy. She had to run otherwise she will be worse than dead. With heavy padded feet she stood up, dodging the drunk perv men she somehow made to the exit. Her senses told her someone was watching but she couldn't stop. She waited for none and ran through the corrupt corridors for dear life. That was, that was untill she bumped into someone and landed on her butt. Lifting up her head, her body trembling with fear she saw the person, persons. The licentious eyes made her feel bumping into Sasuke would have been better. She had a minimum chakra and they had weapons, criminals right from bingo book. She stood took her stance, byakugan will suck her chakra so will somehow divert their attention and run. That was her plan untill someone clasped her hands and waist from behind.

Violated, she felt greatly violated. Everyone of them was reeking of alcohol, she was nauseous already. She felt somone grind his crotch in her pelvic. The loathsome move made her loath herself and tears to burn in her eyes.

"Oi oi! What a catch. " One of them commented and slide calloused ghastly fingers up her hands to her neck and choked her.

"No! Leave me alone! " She shouted and wriggled, in return they held her tighter. They let go of her neck, in return she came out terribly coughing, wobbly. Someone was sliping her hands in her lips she bit him and She kicked the one who was holding her from behind, slipped under his arms .She was shoved towards wall behind her by someone yanking her hair stiffly. In a spur of time she got up again and tried to slip from right corner. She got kicks in her rib and sput out blood. Before she could do anything the one of them tore her dress sleeves and was leeching his hands to her waist. She felt so nasty but managed to hit him with her elbows. Then she ran, she knew her consciousness was getting thinner and thinner but she ran, her throat was so coarse she couldn't utter a single word. To her luck she ended up in a closed street. A dead end. Tears rans down her cheeks, this is the end.

She heard feet scuffling , people devilishly laughing and her being dreadfully exposed. She wondered why her brain was playing tricks with her, why was she seeing black spots in her vision? Now of all time? She needed to hold on! A little more run! But why was her own body being so cruel to her? Terrified how Her strength was getting drained she was losing hope. However the last thing she saw wasn't a gaggle of sensualist violating her but a black silhouette and blood.

Tch,this place reeks, how nostalgic! Through all of his rogue life whenever he had discerning espy jobs he ended up in such nasty places. However he'll admit these places have always held great interest in his eyes, just look how pretty it looks to see the hunter being hunted. Delinquent hombres might be powerful on the other hand most of them are too naive, or they lose senses of adroit once liquor slips in their mouths. That is why the one you should be most worried in such places is not a masculine personality but a wily woman. Well that's not the case always obviously, normally this places just stinks with murders.

Talking about wily woman, he's going to meet one of them today, a rather shonky strumpet one.

"If it isn't Sasu-kun~" Disgusted. He was disgusted to the core hearing those sultry voices and clattering heels.

"Tell me about the Ryakuza gang. " He spat. That's all he wanted to know. It could have been fairly easier if he uses his eyes, but he already used them to store hyugas chakra. If he used rinnegan again he might just lose consciousness and that's the least thing he wants in her presence.

"Hmmm Sasu-kun, I have no idea what you're talking about... " She had. He knew she had. "...but I could remember if you spent some time with me, ne? " I could slit your throat in that time then feed it to manda.

He was too tired for this shit topped with sweet talk , so he did what he excelled at. "Are you sure? " He warned before his sharingan started flaring it's orbs in the dimlit room suffocated with cheap odour.

She eeped , took a few frantic steps back trembling in her feet. Probably remembering the last time she tried to sleep with him and got stabbed. "No.. No! I'm at you're mercy! " She begged and fell on the floor.

"Tell me about Ryakuza gang. " He was getting impatient and his sword restless. What was this uneasy feeling he was getting?

"I.. I don't know much. I have only heard that name a few times floating in the bar! "

"What about it? " He clicked his tongue in annoyance. If she was spewing stories again he'll chop her tongue off.

"Uh a few days back a couple of men covered in blood came. Yes it was them who was talking about it! They said something about stealing essence and reviving the dead. "

"Anything else? " He was getting impatient. This much information would require rather a larger amount of investigation he was certainly not ready for. He also wanted his visit to this nasty place worth a penny.

"I.. I don't remember. But everyone of them had a tattoo on their body.. I guess. I know of two. " How? He didn't wanted to know.

"What was the tatto? "

"It was something in Kanji. Looked really bad, like it was burned in there. I don't know what exactly it was but it was on their right arms. And.. And I think both of them carried some capsules like little stones! "

"Do you know from where they came from?"

" No. I have no idea. But they wore faux leather and smelled really salty and breezy. They...they told me they came here to run some errands. "

"Do you remember the face of any of them? "

"No. It's kinda hazy. They wore weird masks and.. And I don't know. "She clutched her head, sweat beads were all over her face portraying a look of someone under trauma.

" Here. " Sasuke called out to grab her attention then swiftly removed her memory from today's event as well. He placed himself at the door way to make sure his work was done.

After a few moments she grunted, took support from nearby furniture and stood up. "Ughhhh ! What the hell is happening today! Why is my head so fucking in pain and sasu.. I thought he was here! The nerve of those turds to play jokes on me. And why in the name of booze is that little bitch running like that! It's a fricking brothel ya piece of shit. "

Little bitch.. ? Holy crap.

October 14th, Morning.

This was a strange sensation. She felt cool and comfortable. Shouldn't she be in pain, drained from all her modesty? Is she dead already? Finally, Neji nee, okaasan and all the fellow hyugas who kept watching over her from heavens above...

"Oh dear are you awake already..? " She heard a melliferous subdued voice and then a warm hand on her forehead. She pressed her eyes close to eliminate traces of smeared uneasiness. Registering the fact that she was breathing, evenly so, gulping the horrors of 'what if' she opened her eyes. It wasn't a worn out, grey tainted, spider woven and dried blood arena it was rather a well ventilated, cream coloured, flora surrounded place. The uneasy still persists, therefore she tightened her gut and sat on the place she was sleeping earlier. Looking around this was place was ethereal.

"Ano... Where am I..? " She politely asked the elderly woman who was putting up some tender flowers on the vase.

"You're in land of caldera. Yesterday night your husband and you came here wounded. Must I curse those looteras! But don't worry dear! You're safe now. " The kind lady patted her head.

"Arigatou..! I'm really grateful that you took in me and my husband-" NO WAIT A DAMN MINUTE. Husband? She's Hyuga Hinata, first daughter of Hyuga Hiashi and elder sister of Hyuga Hanabi, younger sister to late Hyuga Neji, a konoha shinobi and member of team 8, and.. That's it..! She isn't married or anything. Hell the most she has been promoted from single is heartbroken.

"Silly me! You must be restless to meet your husband. I'll go call him, okay? " The nice lady smiled once more and left the room.

Panic wouldn't be a suitable word right now, she might just have a few strokes. It's hazy, nonetheless she's remembering everything that happened in the past week. Her mindlessly following sasuke, he informing her about them getting married, his attempt to sell her in a brothel and her getting almost raped...! This is horrible, it's about time someone wake her up from this nightmare.

She has been avoiding to use her family lineage for so long, her chakra wasn't restored, her optical lenses were getting irritating too. She took a deep breath, it's gonna be fine I have to do this. "Byak-"

"Do that and I'll poke your eyes out. " A shiver ran down her spine, she has been threatened on her eyes multiple times but has never felt this intimidated as she does in his presence. He sloshed down on a nearby chair, stared at her. She was beyond uncomfortable with him staring at her like this, look at that half covered face and sculpted features, it's scarring her. She would never understand why girls find him alluring, he has always looked like a designated criminal and what's with the nasty stare..!

"I.. I want to go home. " Gathering her courage she squeaked her pleas.

"No."

"Why? I-I don't want to get sold. " She held her tears, nows not the time to cry! Furrowing her eyebrows she made a brave face.

"Who's selling you? "

"You! " She righteously accused him. Oh now he wants to play the innocent? After all this? Don't make her cuss. All his heinous actions, her getting robbed of her own chakra, they visiting a brothel, now this completely innominate place and threats to poke her eyes out.

"Delusional." He accused back.

"No! E-Excuse me- You kidnap me, purloin my chakra, abandon me in a brothel, I almost got r-raped, now this place. What more evidence do you want? " She was trying her level best not to cry. Even if she was to fight with all of her chakra she was absolutely no match for him and she knew it. Violence is not the key.

"Kidnapped you? You followed me. I took your chakra to avoid you causing a scene. I did not abandon you, Ieft you in a fairly unnoticed place so I do my work without hindrance. And who do you think saved you from getting almost raped? " He should have actually dumped her.

"I followed you because you said so! A-Aren't you Naruto-kun's trusted? You left me defenseless in a fairly unnoticed place. "

"So? What was I supposed to do? You're no one I give a shit about, you're here because you could be helpful for one of my works. Stay like such. " He stated the obvious truth. She was devastated. She has been a wallflower all her life but no one treated her like that. She was not a machine. How dare he treat her like such!

Without thinking she jumped on him to pulverize his arrogant ass. The attack though knocked both of them off the chair with Hinata straddling his lap and him effortlessly trying to dodge futile attempts. Surely she scratched well. Having enough of her tantrums he locked her arms, rolled on top of her. Her eyes were brimming with tears, her chest heaved out of the breath while her legs were somehow wrapped around his waist.

"Ara Ara! Did I come in a wrong time? Gomen." The elderly lady was standing at the doorstep sweetly smiling with scrunched eyes. Hinata couldn't understand what she was saying untill she took a break surveyed their position and most importantly her clothes. She went pale. Before she could scream Sasuke covered her mouth. She'll be fainting soon anyways.

"What do you want? " He demanded.

"Your food is ready. Do you want it to be served here? " She politely asked.

"Yes."

"Here." She placed a tray with various dishes on the bedside table. Meanwhile Hinata was Simmered down, she simply turned her head, in an attempt to sink into the floor, embarrassed and disgusted. "Oh dear! Don't worry about me, since it's a frequent honeymoon destination it's very common! I'll leave you two alone. "

That was the last straw, whatever soul was there in her body left. She went extremely pale and look merely seconds away from exploding while screaming. She shoved sasuke off her and scrambled inside the blankets hitting her back in the wall in the process. Why is she in a see through gown over her underwear? Who the hell wears this?

Sasuke started eating grabbing food from the table. Her almost naked body had some effect, he was a man after all, however he won't show it. Like he cares about a pompous hyuga woman.

Meanwhile Hinata was submerged in the blankets, toes curling and mortification swarming her. This predicament was next to hell for her, almost imagining her father's disenchanted glare and words of ignominy spewd for her. She wanted to scream cry scratch him for displaying her in such a distoted manner. She couldn't move or yell, just cry because others were very unladylike precisly the way she was now. She was scared too, he had her chakra along with being a designated criminal, she was terrified what would be his reaction. It saddened her how much control people had over her life, reactions and how much helpless she was in front of them.

Here no one was coming to save her so she had to find her own way out. The first things first,

''W-Why are we here?'' she asked under her breath. Not exactly sure if he would answer or not. He pretty much answered her previous questions this shouldn't be a problem either. Oh Kami-sama...

''I have some work to attend.'' He picked up a piece of bread from food tray, started eating it.

''Why am I here?" she dared to look in his eyes. She demanded answers. He merely shrugged. ''Uchiha-san why am I here?'' asked again with a bit more volume.

''I have some information to gather. You here give me an advantage.''

''What kind of a-advantage?'' brows furrowed, she couldn't make of a situation in which she could aid him. So what exactly was the advantage except for her being sold?

''It's a honeymoon destination.'' she reddened, feeling goosebumps o her arms. ''As a single man I had no possible access here without locals being suspicious.''

She nodded. They were acting as a couple, understanble even so what the hell? why the duck her? She groaned inside. ''Why me Uchiha-san?''

''Don't be flattered Hyuga. You're no one special.'' He scoffed. ''Anyone would have sufficed, my bad it was you.'' After all the trouble she put him in he was comparatively fairly polite. In the first place he didn't recognize her who was she accusing to?

She bit her lip and lowered her head. She knew she was no one special but did he absolutely had to remind her every single time they exchange words disgraced on the name of conversation? ''You're done now. Let me go.'' she spat with certain edge she rarely used. Well he deserved what a jerk...!

''We're not done. There are other places to go as well.'' There are none right about now. He needed to collect intel on this place first. The intel that woman gave in brothel was no where adequate pinpoint what he was looking for. This was a fifty-fifty he might succeed he might not succeed, not to mention a troublesome person he'll have to encounter for this mission and te marriage too. How in the world is he supposed to convince a hyuga without much violence? Let's not forget he's here in the name of redeemption, he'll be damned if someone reports this in konoha. So much for a mere mission.

''I-I won't accompany you. It's your mission not mine.'' she sternly stated. She had no intention of following him in this stupidity. God forbid if a hyuga or a anyone she knows sees her in this place with THIS MAN she's done good for. Already she has disappointed her father, clan enough to serve seven births.

''Don't speak like you have a choice.'' He spat, she glared. Girls and women kiss his feet, steal his toothbrush and this little woman is giving him sass? The glaring continued a irked sigh left his lips. Stupid cursed plan of abduction. He pushed the food tray towards her to which she glared like a demon. ''It's not poisoned.''

''May I know why we have just one serving?'' she asked as she surveyed the food. A lot of food but just one plate and everything in single serving?

''Honeymoon hyuga, honeymoon.'' he coolly mentioned.

''There's no honeymoon for people who just meet, by force.'' regardless she started eating the food. In her defense it smelled majestic and she has been hungry for more than a few days. She needs considerable amount of energy to survive around this unpredictable, loosely insane man. Food is her best friend for a few days untill she retuens village and reclaims her sanity.

OFF SCREEN CHAOS;

To the omnipresent lord,

He, Sasuke Uchiha notions kami-sama to make his redemption doubly effective because who except of him would be gentlemen enough to save a troublesome woman so many times? Also forbid Kakashi to utter his name even in his dreams. He has the sweetheart kidnapped, by her stupidity.

That's all. Regards,

Sasuke suffering Uchiha.

Ummm, read and review? 3
