Super shy, I'm super shy!
Not exactly the fic I'd write but this came as a request from smallvillelover. So I hope you enjoy. It's my first time writing such, ahem, stuff. I was really shy as I wrote this but hey! Just read and review!
Hinata sighed for the umpteenth time since the morning. Lady Miyabi had given them twice their usual workload. Instead digging one field, they were to dig two, not to mention the field was at least one hectare. Plus Sakura had an added task of herding the cattle. Honestly, it was too tiring. When she had ran away to the West five years ago, she wasn't expecting to become a field girl. She, alongside other members of her esteemed clan, had decided that being part of the Hyuga clan was overbearing and fled to the West in hopes of attaining a better life. They had been ambushed before they even reached the border. She escaped by a hair's breadth whilst the rest of them had been killed by a gang.
After traveling aimlessly in a semi-desert in no particular direction for five days with only a wristband she had received from her friend and a bottle of water which was almost empty, she stumbled upon Sakura who was herding a large flock of sheep. The dark-haired girl had stared at the approaching flock with ravenous eyes. She hadn't eaten anything in days. She rushed towards the nearest one but before she could even touch it, she found herself flat on the ground with a foot pressing to her back. She passed out shortly afterwards.
When she woke up, she was lying under a jacaranda tree. Her legs and hands had been bound and she was gagged. She forced her body to sit upright and she rested against the tree. She stared at the field of green grass down below. There was a lake and a flock of sheep was grazing there. Had she been in a better state, she would think that the scenery was beautiful. She tried to break free but whoever tied her up knew their job because it wasn't budging. She passed out again from hunger and thirst. The next time she woke up was with a not-so-gentle shake. She was still tied up but she was sitting upright. There was a girl crouched in front of her. The first thing she noticed was her pink hair. Unusual hair colors weren't uncommon in her homeland but pink hair was new.
She had sea green eyes which seemed to sparkle a lot. Her hair looked soft and was long with split bangs, tied in a low ponytail. She wondered about the state of her own hair. The last time she was on a mirror, her hair was let down in her usual hairstyle with a fringe that covered her entire forehead. That was that. The girl was wearing a peach short-sleeved button up shirt which was closed all the way up. She wore a jean skirt which flared and ended above her knees with brown leather boots. The shirt was tucked in. She didn't remember much after that. All she knew what that she was she was going to work where Sakura worked, at the Miyabi estate. And she had been doing so.
She was 15 when she met Sakura, she was now 20. Despite the hard labour at Miyabi estate, she enjoyed life in the West. The place was modern, there were televisions and refrigerators more advanced than the ones in her homeland. Her clan was more traditional than most so she wasn't exposed to much technology. From what she saw in the television, there was an even better place, more modern than in the countryside where she lived. Her features were exotic, one of the boys at the bar said she was Asian. She was Asian, she was Japanese and so was Sakura. Sakura told her that she was in a country called Russia and had actually travelled north instead of west as they studied the world map. But she liked to believe that she had gone to the West because she had wanted to. It was too far away, Sakura told her. She had asked whether Sakura was Japanese. She agreed she was but she didn't remember much about Japan except what she saw in TV. She could speak Japanese though, and Russian and English. And so when they were alone, they would speak in Japanese to preserve their heritage.
Her mind went back to her current task. She was halfway though her first field whilst Sakura had already finished her first and had just begun her second one. The sun had just risen up, they woke up long before the first rays of sunlight reached the estate. She was working with vigor. "Sakura, why are you in such a rush? You're working extra hard than usual," the former heiress asked as she rested whilst watching her friend. 'Is it because she has to herd cattle after this?' she thought but it was more than that. The pinkette wasn't the type to get hyped up like this easily. She stopped digging, putting down her hoe on the ground. She wiped her forehead and Hinata thought if she were a guy, the action would have been a hard turn on.
"I want to visit Konoha," she said with a grin. The dark-haired girl felt her eyebrows shoot up. "Why?" she asked. Her homeland, Konoha, hadn't been exactly friendly to her. They were a world different from the rest. Located on one of the many islands in Japan, there were ninja who were able to use chakra. The training was harsh and brutal, the shinobi were unfriendly but she wasn't about to tell her that. "In one of the letters that my mother wrote to my dad before she passed away, she wrote that she always to visit him, in Konoha. I stayed in Osaka when I was little but I moved here when I was five, well, more of ran away with my mom," she told her. "I've always wanted to see my dad, and where he lives. She also mentioned that she also wanted to see ninjas in action. But she never got the chance so I want to do it on her behalf. I met a guy called Tobi, he's a bit goofy and he's always wearing an orange mask but he seems like a ninja to me. He said he's going to Konoha and offered to take me there," she explained. "At an added fee of course. Which is why I asked Lady Miyabi to give me more work so I can raise enough money to go to Konoha," she finished.
"Lady Miyabi actually agreed?" the girl asked in shock. The pinkette nodded happily. "She has been taking care of me for a long time and wouldn't pass up the opportunity for me to meet my dad," she spoke softly. "I was hoping you could come with me, since you lived there before," she spoke, a hint of timidness in her tone. Hinata felt her expression change as memories of the brutal training her father had put her to came at her full force. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry!" Sakura exclaimed as she rushed over to where she was sitting. The dark-haired girl touched her face, it was wet with tears. "It's okay Sakura. It's not your fault, I'll accompany you to Konoha. I miss my friends there," she reassured her. "Really?" the pinkette asked with a teary voice. She nodded. "Thank you so much!" she exclaimed as she hugged her tightly.
"You know, you're really nice to hug. Your chest is comfy," the pinkette teased with a smirk in her tone. "Sakura!" Hinata exclaimed as she withdrew from her, her hands covering her chest. "Sorry Hinata, it's just that you're so fun to tease," her friend said as she wiped tears from her eyes. "But honestly, thank you. It means a lot to me," she added in a serious tone. "I should be thanking you. I feel indebted to you for saving my life, wherever you go, I'll go as well," the dark-haired girl said with a hard expression.
They agreed that they would spend the rest of the day doing extra chores before meeting up with Tobi, the masked man that Sakura met. On Monday the following week, they woke up very early and did some chores around the house before going to take their baths and change into their outfits. For most of the times, the two Asian girls would be dressed in baggy dresses such that the city boys from Domino's Pub would tease them that they were backwards. Sakura would always respond by punching them out of the bar. She was sure she had quite the reputation on social media as she heard several shots being taken by the onlookers.
Sakura wore a black sports cap over her head and a black denim jacket with a maroon long-sleeved Western shirt which was slightly unbuttoned and tucked in. She had a very tight white tank top inside which showed her medium-sized chest paired with black jeans which accentuated her legs and figure nicely. Hinata wore a similar outfit but had a sleeveless denim jacket with a tight-fitting lavender vest which did wonders to her voluptuous chest. She wore a pair of navy blue jeans, had a grey trucker cap which complemented her eyes. They both wore brown leather cowboy boots on top of their jeans, more modern in style than the usual ones. Hinata had her hair in a high ponytail, so tight that it physically hurt to Sakura look at it. The pinkette had her hair in a similar ponytail but was loose with strands of hair covering her forehead and side.
They packed their clothes in one large suitcase. They bid farewell to Lady Miyabi with hugs and teary kisses. They weren't going to be back anytime soon. They each had a small satchel which had their essentials. They were currently stand at the bustop where Tobi would meet them. Sakura checked the time on her cellphone. It was a small Samsung which was out of date, she had to get a new one soon. Hinata had a slightly advanced Huawei. "He just sent me a message. He'll be here in ten minutes," the pinkette said as she pocketed her phone. "How will we be travelling?" the Hyuga asked. "I don't know. He didn't say much but he said he could get me there," she told her.
The dark-haired girl stared at her. "And just like that, you chose to believe him?" she asked with a frown. It was one of those rare times that Sakura had seen her frown. "Yeah," she replied, a bit unsurely. "Sakura, you can't just trust someone you met because of what they've just said. What if it's a trap? Konoha is not as friendly as you think," the former heiress said, her eyes hard. "So what? Is it wrong to want to meet your father? Is it wrong to go outside the walls I have been living in for the past 15 years? Forgive me if I beg to differ," the pinkette spat back with a heated gaze. Hinata looked taken aback but decided not to comment, instead opting to stare at the direction where Tobi was supposed to come, her jaw clenched tightly.
Sakura regretted her words the instant they came out but she was stubborn and she wasn't going to apologize. She was innocent! A car came into view. It was a Mercedes Benz, latest model, C-class. It was black and shined. The car came to park in front of them. A man dressed in a black suit with a black tie which had red clouds with a white outline came out of the car. Everything he wore looked expensive but what was off about him was the orange spiral mask he was wearing. "Tobi! I knew you'd make it," Sakura exclaimed as Tobi came to stand in front of them, sending Hinata an 'I-told-you-so' look. "Sakura, good to see you," he said as he stretched out his hand. She took it and they had a firm handshake. "I wasn't expecting to see you in a suit," she joked lightly. "Well, a guy's gotta look good if you're meeting up with such sexy ladies," he said as he chuckled, a deep baritone which sent a shiver down her spine.
"This is my friend, Hinata. She'll be joining us plus she used to live in Konoha," she introduced her friend. "Hello," the dark-haired girl said as she gave him a once-over, her gaurd slightly up. "Is that so?" he hummed as he stretched his hand towards her. Hinata pretended not to notice how he seemed to hold her hand longer than necessary or the penetrating gaze she felt from the single eyehole. They put their luggage in the boot before going inside the car, Sakura in the passenger's seat and Hinata in the back seat. They took off towards the port. Both Sakura and Tobi conversed lightly, with Sakura doing most of the talking as she told him about herself. He seemed to never give anything about him, Hinata noted. She closed her eyes as she began to think about Konoha.
"If you're so weak that you can't even beat your younger sister in a spar then you're not fit to become the next head of the Hyuga clan," her father spat as she panted heavily, kneeling on the ground. Hanabi was looking at her guiltily. Neji was looking at her pitifully. They were in a doujo, modern than the ones she had been used to. There was a large screen which showed her spar with Hanabi from different angles and how she had beaten easily. The fourteen-year old wiped her face with her sleeve as she stood up. "Whilst other countries make nuclear weapons, in Japan we have the ability to use chakra, something that has never been found in the whole world. As such I must train you to be the best," he told her. "But if you're not doing your best, going all out, how can I entrust you with protecting our country?" he added as he signalled for Neji to come forward.
"If you won't improve your performance then I'll have to force you," he said as he forced Neji to kneel beside him, activating the Caged Bird Seal. Instantly, Neji screamed in pain as pain shot out from his forehead to his eyes, his Byakugan forcefully activated. "Father, please!" she exclaimed as she rushed to kneel beside her cousin, tears streaming down her cheeks. She took her hand in his and he almost crushed her hand as the pain intensified. "He's my cousin and your nephew! Have some sympathy!" she cried as Neji writhed in pain. "If you want me to stop then beat Hanabi for the next five matches, then I'll stop," he said in a monotonous voice.
"Hinata!"
The Hyuga was startled out of her thoughts. The car had stopped and they were parked in front of a motel. It was already dark. "You coming or what?" Sakura asked. Tobi wasn't in the car. "Uh, yes," she said as she got out of the car, the pinkette doing the same. They waited in front of the car whilst Tobi talked with the receptionist at the motel. "Sakura, do you know chakra?" she asked. The pinkette stared at her puzzledly. "Yes, everyone knows it. Just that not everyone can use it," she replied as she stared at the sky. "Have you even used chakra?" she asked again. "Yes. My mom said I had very good chakra control but I didn't get to train much because she passed away early," she spoke. They had never spoken much about Japan and people who had the ability to use chakra. "There's something I want you to know. People who can use chakra can cast a genjutsu or an illusion using different methods. As we are headed towards Konoha, I want you to learn how to break out of one. It's easy," the former heiress said. She formed a single handsign. "This is a Kai sign. It's used for activating seals or releasing genjutsus. Just channel your chakra outwards whilst holding this sign," she spoke.
Sakura did as she was told. "I'm going to cast a genjutsu on you. It's really easy. Just identify it and break out of it," Hinata said. "Okay," she nodded.
She was sitting at the bar, at Domino's Pub. She was talking to Vin, a boy whom she had a crush on during her early teenage years. He was tall, muscular with a rugged look but Sakura liked it about him. "Sakura, I like you. I always have, please be my girlfriend," he said as he took her hand in his. His eyes were honest, she could practically feel his love vibrating off him. "I like you too," she said as she inched forward, her eyes set on his lips. She pressed her lips to his before parting them open, her tongue sliding into his mouth. It felt good, it felt so good she was ready to take it to the next level. Her hands wrapped around his neck as she stood up, his hands immediately going to cup her rear. She felt him groping her, it was good. It was sweet-
Wait, this was wrong, she thought as Vin began to unbutton her shirt. She didn't like Vin, she never did and he only confessed his feelings to her but she rejected him. She didn't like anything about him and she certainly never liked being touched anywhere except her hand. 'It's a genjutsu!' she thought as she moaned from where Vin began sucking on her breast. She formed the handsign. "K-Kai!" she said breathlessly.
She was startled to find herself standing outside a motel with Hinata who was staring at her curiously. "That was fast. It only lasted for a few seconds, though in your mind it was probably more," the girl commented. "Did you have to use Vin, especially in that setting?" she asked irritatedly. "That's what genjutsu is all about. It makes you believe, despite it not being true. It's used to fight off enemies or to glean information," she sighed. "As long as you know how to break out of one, I'm satisfied," she said as she watched Tobi make his way towards them.
"Unfortunately, the motel is full so we'll have to continue our journey until we find accomodation," he spoke. "It's okay. As long as I'm with you and Hinata, I'm safe," Sakura chirped. Tobi let out a deep chuckle. "Aren't you a naive little girl?" he said as she cupped Sakura's cheek. Sakura blushed as she looked at the ground. Hinata cleared her throat, she wasn't enjoying this. "Then I suggest we better get going then," she said as she shivered, hugging herself unconsciously. "Ahh yes. Let me buy you a coffee from the motel before we depart," he said.
He came back holding two coffees, one was black and the other had whipped cream with a cherry on top. He handed them their cups. "Thanks," Sakura said as she sipped her cup, forming a cream mustache on top of her lips. The trio made their way back into the car. Hinata tasted her coffee, it was good. But something was a bit off about it. She opened her lid and smelled it. Her eyes widened. It was drugged. She wanted to yell at Sakura not to drink it but she was already slumped on her seat unconscious. Her tongue felt sluggish and soon, she took was unconscious as well.
"The pink bitch is naive. She chose to believe me that easily. Quite stupid in the world of shinobi," Tobi scoffed as he watched Deidara tie her to a chair. He had gagged her with a cloth tied between her lips and teeth with layers of duct tape over it. He hogtied her wrists with cuffs behind her back and another set of cuffs on her ankles. He tied her shins, knees and lower thighs with rope as well as around her stomach, elbows, upper and lower arms. He added more rope above and below her breasts, down to her shoulder blades and around her clavicle with a tight crotch rope between her legs. "That idiot blonde sure knows how to do his job," Sasori muttered as he adjusted his maroon suit which matched with his red hair. The said blonde walked over to them. "I did correctly, right Sasori my man?" he grinned as his lone blue eye twinkled. "You did well but how will Tobi untie her when he wants to play with his toy?" the brown-eyed man asked.
Deidara scratched the side of his head. "I didn't think about that, yeah. Let me retie her, yeah," he said as he turned to walk over to her. "No, it's fine. I think it's better that way. I'll have more fun undressing her," the masked man replied. "What about the other one?" Sasori asked. "I tied her in a similar manner. She's in Pein's room, yeah. The boss said he wanted the former Hyuga heiress for himself. She makes a good ransom, yeah," the blonde replied. "Hmmm. That's good. I wasn't keen on sharing my cherry blossom with anyone, after all," Tobi said as he walked over to her, playing with the stray strands of hair which covered her forehead. "Inform me when she wakes up," he said as he turned around, walking out of his room.
Hinata blinked her eyes open. The last thing she remembered was drinking drugged coffee. She should've been more careful. Since she had shinobi training prior to coming to Russia, she was more wiser than Sakura. She could've told Sakura that it was a bad idea to go with Tobi whom they barely knew, especially if they were going to Konoha. The gang which had ambushed her at the border was called the Akatsuki. They were characterized with red clouds on their clothes. She was stupid. When she had seen the red cloud on Tobi's tie, she should have run away with her best friend. She tried to summon her chakra only to find that it had been sealed. But she could access enough chakra to activate her Byakugan for a few minutes.
She finally took notice of her room. The room was dimly lit but was filled with expensive furniture. From what she gauged from it, she was probably in a yatch and she was sitting in the middle however at an angle where she could see everything in the room. There was a king sized bed with a white comforter, an expensive grey rug in front of the bed and a long mirror opposite the bed. There was a brown coffee table with magazines scattered on top. The walls were white and there was a small chandelier. Whilst there wasn't too much furniture but everything in here smelled money. She stared down at herself. She was tied in the most inhumanely manner possible. She activated her Byakugan, her first goal being to search for Sakura's whereabouts.
Her pink-haired best friend was in a room at the end of the corridor which was furnished just like the one she was in. She was tied in a similar manner and she was conversing with Tobi. Her face was furious as she exchanged words with Tobi. She searched for more chakra signatures.
There were about 20 other chakra signatures on the yatch, with seven being more prominent than the others, shinobi then. Before she could further investigate, her Byakugan deactivated. She had used as much chakra as she could.
Suddenly, the door opened. A man dressed in a white suit entered. He had spiky orange hair witj a lot of piercings covering his face but the thing she noticed the most were his eyes. 'No, it c-can't be,' she thought with a gulp. He had the Rinnegan, she had gotten used to seeing it in her scrolls. The man acted like he didn't see her as he turned on the lights and began walking around the room, removing his blazer and loosening his tie. Hinata looked away, her face beet red as he removed the black shirt he was wearing revealing his toned chest. 'Doesn't he see me?' she thought as he made his way to what she thought was the bathroom. She heard the sound of a shower being turned on. After ten minutes, the shower turned off. Another two minutes and the man walked out in only a towel. She wanted to look away but she found herself drawn to his physique.
He was tall and lean but his body was toned. He probably worked out a lot, she guessed. She willed herself to look away from his waist, watching the lines which descended to where the sun did not shine, instead focusing on his face. If it weren't for the Rinnegan and the piercings, she'd probably pass him off as handsome but his eyes were menacing. Not to mention that they were emotionless. She cleared her throat as he continued to ignore her, pouring himself a glass of wine. "Excuse me, why do you have me hostage here?" she asked softly, hoping she did not stutter as she used to long ago. The man did not reply as he downed the glass in one go. He went to the wardrobe, throwing away his towel. She immediately closed her eyes, not wanting to see him naked as an image of his butt was engraved into her mind and kept replaying itself.
When she opened them, he had just finished putting on a pair of black sweatpants. She hoped that he would wear a shirt or something but unfortunately it was not so. He walked over until he was standing in front of her then crouched until they were at eye level. She stared at his eyes unflinchingly as they engaged in a silent battle of wills. After a long moment of silence, he grabbed her chin and turned her face to the side as though he was inspecting it. She was surprised that he was gentle with her though. His fingers moved from her chin and rested on her lips, brushing over them briefly. "Your lips are sensual," he spoke for the first time. His voice was deep but not as deep as Tobi's.
"Does that explain why you took me and my friend hostage?" she asked as she pulled her face away from him, glaring at him as she did so. "Partly. You are the former heiress of the Hyuga clan. It's a shame that you stumbled upon one of the Akatsuki members who had just been tasked with looking for you," he said. "But the other reason I specifically requested that you come to my room," he said as he produced a kunai from his pockets and slashed the ropes leaving only the cuffs around her wrists and ankles. He slashed his kunai again and her denim jacket parted into two. She bit back a sound of protest. That jacket was her favourite. Then his tongue was on her exposed neck. "You taste sweet," he mumbled as he sucked on a particular spot on her neck which made her whimper. He withdrew from her as she took harsh breaths. "You're are the former Hyuga heiress, daughter to Hizashi Hyuga, older sister to Hanabi Hyuga, cousin to Neji Hyuga who ran away five years ago. Aren't I right?" he asked with an intense stare but she didn't reply.
"I had sent my men to ambush you at the border once the news reached my ears but somehow you managed to escape, killing five of my best men in the process. You have to pay for that," he whispered hotly in her ear before licking it slowly. She turned her head away from him. "It seems you do not appreciate my advances. That is not a problem, if you would just easily accept that this is your fate then I won't have to use my Rinnegan on you," he said as he turned to face her. "Submit yourself unto me and I'll spare your life," he told her. A glare was his only reply. "Well then, the Rinnegan it is," he said as he stared at her dead in the eye, activating his doujutsu.
"Get me out of these god-damned ropes!" Sakura seethed as she glared at the masked man in front of her. When she had woken up, she had been tied and gagged with both duct tape and a cloth. She had prayed that her best friend was okay and vowed to listen to her advice from today onwards. "Not so fast, love. I didn't remove your gag for you to shout at me," Tobi chuckled deeply. "I don't care! Get me out of here and let me go home!" she snapped at him. "Home? Where is your home? You left Lady Miyabi with no intention of going back," he told her as he stood an arms length from her. "Just let me free and I'll pretend I never met you," she said with a clenched jaw. "I'm not letting you go," he spoke. "Why?" she asked as she willed herself not to cry from anger and frustration. "Isn't it obvious? You're my toy now and you belong to no one else other than me," he said as he crouched in front of her, caressing her cheek. She tried to bite his hand but he withdrew. "I belong to no one else except myself!" she barked out.
Then he slapped her, hard. She bit back a sob but only glared at him with teary eyes, as if showing how much she hated him. "Say that again and I'll do more than that," he warned. "I can't believe I trusted you," she spat. "I can't believe you were so stupid to trust me either," he retorted as he cut the ropes around her chest and arms with a kunai. He unbuttoned her denim jacket and shirt then slashed her white tank top, ripping the clothing into two to reveal creamy skin and the cleavage of her medium sized chest. She was wearing pale pink bra with laces. He placed his hand one of her cupped breasts. "Not too big or too small, just the way I like it," he said as he squeezed it roughly. She whimpered. "Hearing you make that sound makes me want to ravage you," he chuckled as he stood up.
"Unfortunately, you can't see my face so I'll have to cover your eyes," he said as he walked over to the coffee table which had a black bandana. He returned to her and tied the bandana over her eyes as firmly as he could. "What's wrong with your face? Too ugly for the world to see?" she said with a wicked smirk. He slapped her again, spliting her lower lip in the process. Kneeling in front of her, he licked the blood of her lower lip before he began to suck on it gently. She tried to pull away but he held her firmly with his hand behind her head. He parted her lips open and forced his tongue inside her mouth. Sakura gagged, hoping he'd stopped but it seemed to increase his efforts as he kissed her more forcefully. After two minutes, he withdrew from her. Both of them were out of breath. "It's exactly as I predicted. You taste like cherries, it is your namesake after all," he said as he let out a deep breath.
Then he began planting kisses from her neck down to her chest. He kissed her cleavage twice before removing her bra. He sucked on her left nipple whilst he squeezed the other one. She let out a moan of pleasure. He continued with his kisses and she felt herself get wet between her legs. He stopped his advances and let out a deep laugh. "I remember you telling me that you're still a virgin. It's a shame that I'll be the one taking it away," he said. "Go to hell," she snapped at him. "Don't worry darling. We'll go there together," he said as he removed the rest of ropes and uncuffed her wrists and ankles. He carried her bridal style and threw her on the bed. Her shoes had already been removed and he proceeded to removed her denim jacket and shirt, throwing them to the floor without a backwards glance. He tore her ripped tank top off her body. She tried to fight him but she was strangely weak.
"But first, there is something that I must do," he said as he drew near to her face. He pulled the bandana down to reveal angry green eyes. She stared into the single eyehole on his mask, glaring at him as she did so. She noticed that his eye had a red pupil with three black comas inside. 'What is that?' she thought as she felt herself begin to lose consciousness. The last thing she remembered was telling Tobi that she wanted him to ravage her.
When Hinata woke up, she was sleeping on the bed. She was alone in the room. She sat up and looked around, finding a tray of food on the coffee table with a note beside it. She looked down at herself, she was naked. Then the memories came back full force. The orange haired man had somehow put her in a mind-controlling genjutsu with his Rinnegan. She shivered as tears cascaded down her cheeks. The way his hands roamed her body like a beast, cupping her chest and sucking on them like there was no tomorrow, the feeling of his tongue inside her as he sucked all the juices. The worst part was remembering how she had enjoyed it all, how she moaned and panted in pleasure as he thrust into her. She had even begged him for more. She hugged the sheets around her to her chest as she hiccuped. She was no longer chaste, that man had taken her virginity. 'I swear if they do the same to Sakura, I'll avenge her until my last breath,' she told herself as she glared at an imaginary Tobi.
She stared at the food on the coffee. She was sure as hell that she wasn't going to eat it, no matter how hungry she was. It might as well be poisoned. Untangling herself from the sheets, she made her way to the bathroom. She opened the shower and hot water sprayed on top of her. She began to plan how she was going to get out of here but not without destroying the entire Akatsuki.
"It appears that Konoha has tightened their security. The Kyubi brat has been seen in the village for quite a while now," Sasori said. They were seated on a roundtable with all of the Akatsuki members present. On one side of the table, there was Pein, Konan, Kakuzu and Hidan. On the other, there was Tobi, Sasori, Deidara and Zetsu. "Could they be aware that we are about to raze their village to the ground?" Zetsu asked. He was dressed in black suit with two-tone hair, white on one side and green on the other. "Maybe. Jiraiya is snooping around, we met at the port just before I boarded the yatch. He knows that something is up," Pein spoke. "Hmmm. Then we have to do something so that they don't mess with our plans, yeah," Deidara said. He was dressed in a white dress shirt and black slacks. "I think we should proceed with our original plan until we're sure that they know something. Otherwise, we'll be fretting over nothing," the only woman in the room said. Konan had light blue hair which was always short with a white paper flower on her head. She was dressed in a navy blue sleeveless top which clung to her figure and black slacks which accentuated the curve of her hips.
"I agree with Konan. Let's not be rash about this," Tobi spoke. He was wearing a navy blue suit. They all nodded in agreement. "How are the bitches doing?" Kakuzu asked, his voice muffled by his mask. He was dressed in a dark grey suit which screamed money. "Deidara says they refuse to eat food unless he eats it first. Otherwise they are doing quite well," Sasori replied. "You ain't see nothing yet. The pink-haired girl has a vocabulary which rivals that of Hidan, not to mention she can swear in English, Japanese and Russian," the blonde spoke as he shivered, remembering how she had shouted at him. "The other one is fairly quiet but it's her eyes. She gives me the creeps just by staring," he added. "Hmmm. I guess that says they're good then. Are they marketable?" Kakuzu asked again. Tobi chuckled deeply. "They aren't going anywhere. Sakura's mine to keep and I think our Leader here thinks the same about his Hyuga heiress," he said, a smirk in his voice. "It hasn't been decided what I will do with them. I plan to use the Hyuga as ransom but I'm not sure about the pink-haired girl," Pein told them. "I already told you. Sakura's mine to keep, she's mine and no one else. I don't care what you say but she's not going anywhere so don't bother," Tobi said as he stood up.
He checked the time on his Rolex watch. It was almost midnight. That would be the first visit he was going to pay her after they had played with each other a week earlier. "Duty calls," he muttered as he made his way towards the door, intent on meeting Sakura.
Sakura stared at up at the ceiling. She was tied to a chair. It was as bad as the first time that stupid blonde had tied her. Good looks like aside, he was the incarnation of the devil himself. During the past week she had been here, she had seen Tobi only once. And that time had been the taken he had taken her chastity. She clenched her teeth as she thought of all the perverse things they had done, that he had brainwashed her to do. She swore she going to get revenge. The only thing that could get her out of this situation was to wield chakra. It was the only thing to use against ninjas. But she had to be smart about it so as to not raise suspicion. But she was sure she could pull of anything. Closing her eyes in concentration, she meditated as she gathered chakra to her core. She had been drugged such that she would be physically weak but her chakra hadn't been tempered with. She could use it to her advantage.
After an hour or so, she was broken out of her concentration with the sound of the door opening. Tobi walked inside in all his glory, wearing a navy blue suit. If it weren't for the fact that he was her capturer, she would have thought that he looked cool. "Missed me, love?" he asked as he removed his blazer and threw it on the couch. He poured himself a glass of wine. With his back facing her, he removed his mask and downed the glass in two sips before putting his mask back on. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt as he walked over to her. She glared at him, cursing the offensive gag for covering her mouth. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind. He stopped in front of her and cut the ropes on her arms and legs then proceeded to dump her on the bed.
He blindfolded her then tied her wrists to either sides of the bed, leaving her legs free. She was still gagged.
"Why didn't you look for me when I was gone? Do you not cherish our marital night a week ago?" he asked as he removed the long dress shirt she was wearing. It belonged to him and he took pleasure in seeing her dressed in it. A muffled sound was his reply. "I have to say Sakura, hearing you scream my name like that did things to me that I could not explain," he spoke as he ripped her panties off her and placing himself between her legs. He planted kisses from her neck, trailing down as he admired the beauty of her firm breasts and flat stomach before arriving at her core. He blew his breath lightly over it. "I'd like to hear you again. It's music to my ears," he said as he planted a chaste kiss. She tried to move away but he held her firmly. "This time, I'll be using my hands to cast the genjutsu," he said as he cupped her breasts, activating the brainwashing genjutsu immediately. She would fight against but she wouldn't break out of it, at least not for another hour. And by then, he would have finished his job.
He sucked on her core, teasing her entrance with his tongue. She moved her hips up as her legs began to tremble, hinting an incoming climax. Her muffled cries sounded in the room as her juices spilled into his mouth and he made sure that he drank every last drop. "An early orgasm, I see. I'm sure you want to scream your lungs out as I pleasure you but I won't be giving you that comfort. I'll keep you gagged the entire time," he spoke before positioning himself on top of her. "While I do enjoy eating you, I prefer being inside you," he said, placing his hands on either side of her head. He thrust himself inside of her and she let out a sharp cry, muffled by the gag. "Let the show begin."
When Hinata woke up, she was sore all over. It was the third time that Pein had been intimate with her. All dreams of preserving her chastity for her future husband went down the drain. Her mind wandered to Naruto, the Hokage's son. He was one of the most dangerous people in the whole of Japan, being a jinchuriki yet his personality was like the sun. She never dated or went on one night stands for his sake. But now…. A single tear slid down her cheek. It's not like he noticed her existence anyways. She wasn't sure if he even noticed that she had been missing for the past five years. If he did then he wasn't affected. She had tried time and again to tell him how she felt but she never summoned the courage to do so. Until the day she left Konoha and she regretted not telling him.
She took a quick shower and ate the meal on the table. If she counted the time correctly, she had been captured for over three weeks. Pein had yet again brainwashed her into doing things she did not want. She wanted to complain, she wanted to fight, she wanted to swear and curse him but all that ever came out was breathy moans and long pants, his name on her lips like a mantra. She hated herself for it. And it seemed that Tobi was doing the same to Sakura. Deidara, the blonde boy had told her that her friend was doing fine and she was under Tobi's supervision just like she was under Pein. Basically, he meant that Tobi was fucking Sakura, brainwashing her just like Pein did with her. She had been studying the chakra signatures in the vicinity. From 10pm to midnight, eight strong chakra signatures gathered in a room which was on the top floor. She was quite sure it was the entire Akatsuki. If she could escape during that time when they were all busy, she would've helped herself a great deal. But she'd have to do that when they were near land. She didn't want to swim all the way to Konoha.
She had been gathering chakra bit by bit past the restraints put on her. She also started to practice her taijutsu when Deidara wasn't tying her to a chair or the bed. She hoped that he never tied her to a table. She hoped that Sakura was okay. If only she could talk to her….
The door burst open and Pein barged inside the room. Her face burned as realization came crashing down on her. She was kneeling on the bed and she was naked. His gaze roamed hungrily over her form before he strode to the bathroom. "Come join me in the shower. I want you to meet some people," his voice sounded. She let out a sigh in defeat. There were no two ways about this. Even if she rebelled, the outcome was the same. If she pretended to want him, without need of him ever brainwashing her then maybe she could gain his trust. When the time came, she would strike and he wouldn't know what hit him. With that thought in mind, she walked to the bathroom.
"I wish I had actually listened to my mom when she told me about chakra," Sakura groaned. She had tried to summon chakra and she was doing a pitiful job at it. She was confused as to why she couldn't do it. She had done it with Hinata but that was the only thing she knew, breaking out of a genjutsu. It usually took her an hour to break out of Tobi's hold. But that was all she could do with chakra. She closed her eyes in concentration as she surfed through her memories.
Chakra walking …… walking on top of water……. sticking on any surface surface using water……
That was something she remembered her mother telling her when she was eight years old. It was a start. She summoned chakra to her feet and walked towards the wall near the door. She took a deep breath and planted her foot against the wall. She put another foot and walked upwards. Soon enough, she was hanging upside down with her feet planted firmly on the ceiling. "I did it!" she cheered. The door suddenly opened and she quickly retracted her chakra, falling down on the floor unceremoniously. And it hurt, terribly. She let out a silent groan of pain. "What were you doing?" she heard Tobi ask. "I was practicing balancing upside down on my head. I was caught off guard when you entered and lost my balance," she lied. "Hn," was all he said. He went to the fridge and took out a bottle of water. "There's an event I'm attending tonight. You will be my date," he told her nonchalantly. "Do I get to say no?" she spoke. "If you want me to do to you what I did the last time when we were both on the bed then you can decline," he replied. She bit back a retort that would've surely driven him over the edge and she would be on the bed in a matter of seconds.
She was dressed in a maroon dress which hugged her figure up to mid thigh before flaring out and ending at her knees. The dress was strapless and she wore long black gloves which covered her upper arms, paired with black heels. Her long hair was swept to one side and her bangs had been pinned on either sides of her hair with flower hairpins. Sakura was seated at the mini bar, with a Martini in her hand. She prayed to Kami that Hinata would come as well. So far, the only woman in the room was a blue-haired woman who answered to the name Konan. Everything about her was attractive, from the paper flower, to the piercings, to the navy blue evening gown hugging her and stilettos she was wearing. She felt jealous in all honesty, as Tobi never seemed to take his eyes off her. "If you wanted to stare at her all night, why didn't you ask her to be your date instead of dragging me along?" she snapped as they were sitting on the couch. He chuckled in return. "My my, I thought I'd never see the day my dear Sakura would be jealous of another woman because of me. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you tonight," he had promised her.
And so, she found herself sitting at the bar after taking several Martinis and she wasn't intent on stopping. For some unknown reason, it pissed her off that he was staring at another woman and she was pissed at herself for that. A person settled into the seat beside and she didn't bother to look at them, instead imagining the several ways she would kill Tobi. "Sakura, is that you?" At the sound of that voice, her head snapped to the side to look at the person sitting next to her as tears welled in her eyes. "Hinata," she breathed out as she hugged her fiercely. She was dressed in white dress which flared out at the waist and ended midthigh. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I should've listened to you," she hiccuped, her voice thick with tears. "It's okay, it's not your fault. I should've been more careful," the Hyuga replied as she hugged her back. "Listen, we don't have much time. A week from now, we're breaking out of here at 11pm. Make sure to meet me at the door by the end of the hall. Please make sure to be done by then, it's our only option," Hinata whispered in her ear. She nodded her head in understanding.
They withdrew from the hug. "Have they been brainwashing you too?" the pinkette asked. Hinata stared aimlessly at the floor. "...yes," she replied. "I'm so sorr-" "It's okay. You don't have to apologize. It's also happening to you," she cut her. "But-" the dark-haired girl placed a finger on her mouth. "Sakura. I'm not a kid. We both know what they're doing to us. Beating ourselves up over it won't solve anything. Focus on getting out of your room at 11pm," she told sternly. "Sorry, I just-" "Don't apologize," she cut her again. Sakura pursed her lips as she stared at the side. Hinata looked over her head. "I've got to go, I wish we could talk more but I don't want to rouse their suspicion. Make sure you do what I told you," she gave her hand a squeeze. She stood up and walked away.
Sakura was alone again. She exhaled deeply. She was watching the men in the room with their partners. They were enjoying themselves judging by the laughter in the room. Both Tobi and Konan were missing from the room. She didn't want to think what they were doing. With that final thought, she left the room, intent on going back to her bedroom. There was nothing for her to do anyways and it wasn't far, really. She passed by a room where she heard grunts coming from inside. Curiously, she opened the door a little and peeked inside. What she saw shattered her heart into pieces. Konan was pressed against the wall with her dress bunched up around her waist and her legs wrapped around Tobi. Both were panting heavily. Tobi moved his pelvis forward and Konan let out a moan of pleasure. As quietly as she could, she closed the door and rushed back to her room.
She opened the door and threw herself onto the bed as tears of frustration burned her throat. For the first time since being captured, she cried.
Once again, Deidara had tied and gagged her with many layers tightly tied to the chair. She was sitting Indian style with her ankles crossed and her wrists handcuffed behind her back. She hadn't seen Tobi ever since that night and today was the day she was supposed to break out. She screamed in her gag in anger. She had four hours until the allocated time. Suddenly, the door opened and Tobi walked inside. She glared at him hatefully. He made no movement that he took notice of her presence and walked around the room as if he was alone, humming a tune. She made no movement either. Two could play the same game. He removed his suit and walked towards her. He crouched in front of her. "Hello love," he said. She turned her head to the side stubbornly with her eyes closed and chin turned away. "Look at me," he said. But she refused to look at him. "Sakura, look at me," he growled at her. But she remained steadfast. He stood up and yanked her hair. She grimaced in pain. "Look at me," he repeated. She didn't budge. "You bitch!" he snarled as he smacked her across the face, sending her to ground. She landed on the floor awkwardly, she was tied to a chair.
He pulled her back up by her hair. " I said look at me," he ground out. She opened her eyes and stared at him furiously, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Oh, you are angry at me," he stated. "Is it because that I was with Konan that other night and not you? I know that you saw us," he said casually. Tears of anger streamed down her face. "Hmmm. I did promise that I'd make it up to you," he said as though speaking to himself. "You've been a good girl all this time. I think it's time I let out see my face. I'll make this memorable for you," he said. He untied her and placed her gently on the bed. He removed his clothing until he was dressed in only his boxers. Sakura was wearing one of his shirt dresses. She was lying on her back on the bed and Tobi was on top of her, also lying between her legs and his elbows propped up on either sides of her head. "I'll give you the honor of removing the mask yourself," he told. Swallowing thickly, she put her hands on either sides of his face and pulled the mask from his face.
His entire left side was scarred but other than that, everything was normal. His skin was a light tan and she passed him off as handsome. He had the rugged look that made every girl want him. "I'm sorry you had to see that. I promise I'll make it up to you," he said in his baritone voice. She pouted as she looked at the side. "Is that not enough? What more do you want?" he asked her as he began to nibble on her neck. "I'd like to walk around, even if it's just this hallway. I'm tired of being in this room everyday," she spoke as she moaned softly. "Is that all?" he asked. His hand had already begun groping her right breast. "Yes," she replied out of breath. "Very well," he said as he cupped her cheek and began to kiss her hungrily. "Wait, I have another request," she whispered. "What?" he growled out. "Don't brainwash me anymore. I want to do this of my own consent," she said. He stopped his advances. "Are you doing this of your own consent then?" he asked as he stared at her. She blushed under his intense gaze. "Yes. I give you my consent. I'm aware of what I'm doing," she spoke. Tobi smirked and her heart almost jumped in her throat. "That's a good girl," he said.
Sakura lay wasted on the bed. She was exhausted. She had climaxed at least five times. She had to go the extra mile for Tobi to trust her. Proof of that was that he had left the door unlocked, he had given her permission to walk around this floor and the one above it. It was perfect. She glanced at the clock on the wall. She had thirty minutes left until 11. She took a quick shower and changed into another one of Tobi's dress shirts. It was the only thing she could wear, she hadn't seen her clothes since day one. The dress shirt was large and reached midthigh. It was black in color. She also took one of his boxers which looked more like a short. It fit her perfectly. She tied her hair into a messy bun and put on a pair morning shoes. They were the only thing she could wear at the moment. All her credentials were gone, she didn't know where they had been out after Tobi had abuducted her. She also took a quick meal. When she checked the time, it was exactly 11 o'clock.
She opened the door. The hallway was eerily silent and surprisingly long. 'Just how big is this yatch?' she asked herself. She walked until she reached the end of the hallway where there was a door with a red X sign on it. Hinata was nowhere in sight. Maybe she could snoop around and find some information that could be of use. She walked to the other side of the hallway and walked up the stairs leading to the upper floor. The hallway was the same as the one below. Then she heard voices speaking. They were muffled that she couldn't make out the words and were coming from the left side. She followed the sound of the voices until she was staring at a wall. Maybe there was a secret room somewhere….. She put her ears to the wall, hoping her unusual hearing abilities who help her this time.
"Infinite Tsukuyo-... the Kyubi brat….. extract it….. Gedo statue…. nine tails…..two weeks….."
'What are they talking about? None of it even makes sense,' she thought with a frown. They were suddenly quiet and Sakura held her breath. Had they known that she was spying on them? They began talking again and she could make out only a few sentences.
"...have to do it…….fucking pathetic village….. sacrifice to Lord Jashin……more money….."
But it was the last statement that caught her off guard.
"... destroy Konoha…..by next week….."
Suddenly, there was a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and was about to throw a punch when she saw that it was Hinata. She was also dressed in a white dress shirt with morning shoes. Quietly, they tiptoed away from the wall and walked back to their hallway. "Hinata, you made it," Sakura whispered. The dark-haired girl nodded grimly. "We have arrived at the port. We must get out now before they notice that we're missing. They'll be finishing their meeting soon," she replied. She passed her a satchel. "I found our bags and luckily, all our credentials are in there," she said. They turned to the door with the X sign on it. "This door leads to an emergency exit. It's our only way," she added. "Wait, how do you know? How come you have our stuff and seem to know almost everything in this yatch?" the pinkette asked with a slight frown. Hinata stared at her for a long moment before replying. "I have an ocular ability which allows me to see through things from a large distance using chakra," she spoke, activating her Byakugan. The veins around her eyes bulged outwards as her pupils darkened.
"Woah, that explains your unusual eye color," the older girl said mystified. She deactivated it. "We don't have time to waste. I'll explain more after we get out of here," she said as she tried to open the door. It wasn't budging. "Let me try," Sakura said as she walked over to the door. Raising her leg, she kicked the metal door off its hinges and it crashed to the ground. Immediately, a siren sounded and red lights started flashing as the hallway dimmed. "Where'd you learn how to do that?" Hinata asked baffled. "Chakra. Let's go, I'll explain later," she replied. The two girls rushed through the door as shouts sounded from behind them. "Hurry!" Hinata yelled as she ran forward. "I've got something to do first. Meet me at the deck," Sakura shouted. She had seen the control room as they ran. She wanted to sink this ship and everyone in it. "Sakura, now's not the time to experiment," the dark-haired girl almost shouted. "I know, now go," she said as she began running back to the control room.
She eyed the engine with a critical eye. This yatch probably cost them a fortune and she would feel a lot better knowing that she had sunk millions of dollars. One thing that Sakura was grateful was that at Miyabi estate, Lady Miyabi made her do everything. From fixing cars to plumbing to fixing the television or refrigerator and everything, she knew how to do so. And so killing the engine was an easy job. She just had to hit the right corner and it would sink within minutes. During the time she had stayed in Tobi's room, she begun to try doing different things with chakra. After walking on the wall, she moved to walking on top of water in the bathtub. It took her an entire day to do so. That's when she discovered that she could enhance her abilities using chakra. If she focused her chakra into her fist or leg and release it all at once, she made pretty heavy damage. Evidence of that was how she had punched through the wall in the bathroom. She lied that the geezer exploded. Tobi had believed her.
She cocked her fist back and punched a particular spot on the engine before moving to another spot. She did it five times on different areas. In a matter of five minutes, the engine would explode. She needed to be out of the yatch within that specified timeframe. Suddenly, she felt her hair being yanked backwards. She took hold of the hand, twisted it then slammed the figure over her shoulder onto the engine. He was out cold. "That'll teach you not to mess with me," she muttered. She had a third degree black belt in Taekwondo. She rushed out the control room only to meet face to face with Deidara. "Either you let me capture you the easy way or we do it the hard way, yeah," he said as he splayed out his hands in front of her. 'Wait, is that a mouth on his hand?' she thought disgustedly. She almost turned green. Slowly, she put her hands out in front of him. "Now that's a good girl," he said as he took cuffs from his pockets.
Just as he was about to put them over her hands, she raised her right leg which was laden with chakra and slammed him between his legs. He let out a sharp cry as he dropped to the ground, hands on his groin. "Crazy bitch," he muttered as she rushed out of the room. She took the stairs to the top of the yatch and for the first time in a month, she found herself outside breathing fresh, clean air with a clear night sky and nice view of the sea to boot. Her joy was shortlived however when she saw Tobi standing over an unconscious Hinata. "Hinata!" she shouted as she rushed over to her. She swung her fist at the masked man who dodged it easily. She swung another followed by a series of swift kicks. "You never mentioned that you knew taijutsu," he said as he caught her fist and twisted her arm behind her back. "There's a lot you don't know about me," she snarled as she twisted effortlessly out of his grasp and wrenched her hand away from him. He silently acknowledged that she had a very, very flexible body. "You're using chakra to enhance your moves, aren't you," he stated.
She glared at him in reply. "What did you do to Hinata?" she asked thorough clenched teeth. "Oh, this piece of garbage, I just messed with her chakra paths. I now understand why Hizashi wouldn't want her as an heir to the Hyuga clan," he said as he kicked her over with his foot. Sakura saw red. She jumped at him and wrenched his mask off his face whilst her other hand gripped his throat tightly before he could comprend what she was doing. Using the precise pressure she knew she had to apply at the precise location, her fingers pressed a particular spot and he dropped down onto the ground bonelessly. "What did you do to me?" he asked sluggish with barely concealed contempt. He hadn't had time to comprehend her actions. For all he knew, she was a spineless dog which barked a lot. Somehow, she had made him lose all the strength in his body. He was already feeling sleepy. "Something a person with basic medical knowledge would know. I have to agree, chakra sure does come in handy. That explains your red eye which was able to brainwash me," she said as she lifted Hinata and carried her on her back. "I can't say I defeated you. You're above me in an endless league but let's just say you underestimated me and my abilities. I'm not stupid, you know," she said as she she began walking towards the edge of the yatch.
She couldn't go to the docks because she was pretty sure a lot of men would be waiting for her. She needed to get help for Hinata. With that thought in mind, she jumped over the yatch and landed on the surface of the water. Taking small baby steps, she made her towards the side of the coast where no one was. Just as she was about to reach the shore, bullets suddenly began flying in her direction. A bullet missed her head narrowly whilst another struck her shoulder just as she lost concentration and dropped into the water. Ignoring the searing sensation on her shoulder, she bit back her tears and swam underwater with Hinata. The bullets continued and she prayed to Kami for protection. They had already come this far, they couldn't die now. She arrived at the sea shore just as the bullets died down. She dragged Hinata out of the water and laid her on the sand. The air was cold and chilly but all she could think about was her friend. She removed her backpack and checked for anything she could use to help her. There was nothing except her ID, birth certificate, her parents' marriage certificate, her mother's death certificate and a drenched mobile phone. Hinata's bag was also the same, just an ID and a passport with makeup accessories. She cursed herself.
She put Hinata on her back again and trekked into the forest. Her morning shoes had gotten lost in her swim in the sea. The dark-haired girl was heavy but Sakura wasn't about to complain. She was alive, after all. She found a tree with the trunk carved out. She put Hinata there and put her backpack under her head to act as a pillow. The only thing she was wearing was a white dress shirt and shorts. She was also dressed in a similar fashion and was drenched from head to toe. Nothing on her would provide warmth. "Please be safe. I'll be back," she told her. Hinata let out a small whimper with her expression twisted in pain.
She ran and ran until she couldn't feel her feet anymore. But somehow, she found herself in a small town. Despite it being the middle of the night, it was busy. "Excuse me, could help my friend? She's just passed out," she said to a nearby group of women. They were scantily dressed. They ignored her and continued their conversation as if she had never spoken. She ran to a man who was paying a taxi. "Excuse me sir-" "Sluts seriously have no boundaries these days," he said as he walked away from her. She stared at the man as he walked away from her. 'Why isn't anyone helping me?' she thought as her eyes welled with tears. She continued to look for help but everyone ignored her.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed two boys who were almost the same age as her. They were all dressed in dark jeans and jackets. One had spiky blonde hair whilst the other had black hair which had a blue hue. They were standing at the entrance of a convenience store and staring at everyone as they passed. She found herself face to face with them. "Please help me. Something happened to my friend and I don't know what to do," she pleaded as she stared at the dark-haired one straight in the eye. He gave her a quizzical look. "How are you sure we can help you?" he said. His voice was like velvet, both rough and soft if it was a proper way to explain. "Please, I just…" she hiccuped as she began to break down. The pressure of the last few events suddenly surfaced and was crashing down on her all at once. "I just… I need help. Anyone, anything. She's all I have left and there's no one I can turn to. I don't even know you guys but please just help me," she said thickly as she willed herself not to cry. "Now now, there's no need to get emotional. I'm sure we can help, right Sasuke?" the blonde said as he looked at his friend. The other gave an eye roll and muttered an inaudible 'fine'.
His eyes strayed to her neck. Immediately, she put a hand on her neck to cover the marks as her face burned in embarrassment. Tobi had left several, if not more than twenty, love bites on her neck. He seemed to have a fetish for her neck. "Please come this way," she said as she turned and began leading them to the forest.
"I'll let this slide. We don't go around helping everyone, especially women, especially women in 'that' line of business," Sasuke snapped as they trailed behind the pinkette. "Now now Sasuke. Your mom wouldn't approve of you not helping a damsel in distress," Naruto scolded him with a grin. "Hn," he replied. The blonde slung an arm over his shoulder. "Sorry. It's just that she seemed so helpless, I couldn't say no," he admitted. Sasuke didn't want to admit that he felt the same. She did seem helpless, he agreed to help her on that instinct. She seemed young, probably around his age. She was a head shorter than him. Her distinguishing feature was her hair. There were very weird hair colors back in Konoha but he'd never seen pink hair. They found themselves trekking in the forest. "I'm sorry I have to make you come this way but this is where I left her so they won't come and take her away," she said. Her voice was in-between soft and rough. Perhaps it was because she had been crying recently. They arrived at a tree with the trunk carved out. "She's in here," she pointed inside.
Sasuke took out a flashlight and flashed inside. Lying on the ground with her head propped up by a backpack was a girl with dark blue hair. Her face was pale and porcelain white. She looked vaguely familiar. Suddenly, the veins around her eyes bulged out just as her eyes snapped open revealing an all too familiar doujutsu, the Byakugan.
"Hinata!"
It wasn't Naruto who said that but the pinkette as she rushed to her side. "No way," the blonde breathed in disbelief. "Hinata? Is that you?" he asked as he inched closer. She looked at him briefly before passing out. Naruto turned to look at him as the gears in their heads began to spin. Former heiress of the Hyuga clan who was reported to be dead five years ago was in front of them, breathing and alive.
Hinata scrunched up her nose in disgust. The smell of antiseptic made her want to vomit. She let out a yawn as she sat upright. She was in a room which was white all around. She looked at her hand to see an IV connected to her. She blinked owlishly. Where was she? The last thing she remembered was Tobi locking her in an unfamiliar seal. She sat there for thirty minutes, trying to get a clearer image of what had happened.
A loud crash shook her out of her thoughts and she turned to look at the direction where the sound came from. Her eyes widened in recognition. "Hanabi?" she breathed out disbelievingly. "Older sister?" the brown haired said as tears welled in her eyes, forgetting the broken flower vase on the floor. She rushed over to her and the two hugged each other as if there was no tomorrow. "I was so worried when you left. I didn't think I'd ever see you again. I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been such a brat in the first place, Father wouldn't be so hard on you," the younger girl sobbed. "It's okay. I made things harder for you because I was weak, I'm sorry," she apologized as tears cascaded down her cheeks. They spent the next ten minutes crying as they hugged each other.
"How long was I unconscious?" she asked. "For a week or so," came the reply. Hanabi was cleaning the mess on the floor. "Who brought me here?" she asked again. "It was Naruto and Sasuke. Man, those two barged in here and shouted at the nurses, they almost burned this place down. They wanted no one but Tsunade to treat you," she chuckled as if remembering a funny memory. "Oh," the dark-haired girl said as she smiled softly. "Oh, and there was another girl with pink hair. Apparently, she led them to you," she explained. 'Sakura!' she exclaimed in her mind. "What happened to her?" she asked as she held her breath. "She was taken by Ibiki. Haven't seen her since then," she replied. Immediately, Hinata removed her IV cable and jumped towards the window before Hanabi could do anything.
Sakura heard muffled voices coming from the walls. She couldn't put a face to any of them. But it sounded like they were arguing. The voices drew closer. "I can't believe you two. You let Ibiki take her away and you actually never bothered to check what happened to her?" It was a female voice and sounded angry. "I'm sorry. It's a mistake. But Sasuke made sure to check on her everyday. It's the reason why she's still alive after all this. With Ibiki, she wouldn't last a day," another voice replied. She pushed herself off the ground and sat upright as the voices were just behind the door. "You better apologize," the female said. The door slid open and Hinata came into view. "Sakura? Are you okay?" the dark-haired girl said as she moved closer to her. She was barely recognizable. Her hair was a mess, she was dressed in rags and she hadn't taken a shower or eaten since arriving in Konoha. She nodded dumbly. Hinata hugged her tightly. "What did they do to you?" she asked. "They wanted to know everything that happened when Tobi captured us, including the things he did to me. The brainwashing and the…the," she stammered as she began to tear up. "You don't have to say anything. It's okay, we're safe," she said as she patted her back.
"I was so worried. I'd never forgive myself if you died. It's all my fault. If I hadn't been stupid and naive to trust Tobi, you wouldn't have to…. wouldn't have to…." she began to sob loudly. The two boys standing by the door shifted uncomfortably. "They wouldn't let me see you or tell me about you. If it wasn't for Sasuke, they would've killed me. They were under the impression that I was responsible for your condition. Everyone was busy making sure you were healed," she explained. She felt dead inside. Ibiki's information acquiring methods left her with a certain hollowness. She had no fight left in her. "Thank you Sakura. For everything," Hinata sniffed. The two girls cried as they comforted each other.
Hinata had been reinstated into the Hyuga clan. Neji had been chosen as clan leader whilst she had been presumed dead. Hanabi was the clan heir and would take over from Neji. Sakura had been introduced to Hinata's former friends. They all seemed friendly enough, despite being very, very weird. Kiba, Shino, TenTen, Lee, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Naruto and Sasuke. She learned that Hinata had a crush on Naruto whilst growing up. She still had one now. But she admitted that she could never be in a relationship with him, with anyone because of Pein what did to her. Sakura felt the same too. She was used, no longer a virgin. She was trash. She no longer had it in her for any romantic relationship. On behalf of the Hyuga clan, Neji had extended his thanks to her and asked her to join the Hyuga clan as a way of saying thank you. She declined the offer, wanting to search for her biological father instead.
What she did ask was to stay with Sasuke. As soon as she left the cell in T and I, she stuck to Sasuke like glue. Ino hadn't been too keen on that but remained quiet, blaming it on the trauma that the girl had gone through. But it wasn't that. True, Sakura had been traumatized but she was strong. She was simply using it as an advantage to get closer to Sasuke. He was the only person she could trust. Not even his bubbly cousin Shisui, not even the sunshine personality of Naruto and his mom, not even the warmth of the Hokage who was also Naruto's father, not even the Yamanakas and their mind controlling techniques. Only Sasuke. She couldn't explain why she felt so but she did and she was going to trust her instincts.
She found an apartment in the Uchiha district after she had begged Sasuke to at least let her stay near his house. Sasuke had asked Itachi, his older brother who was the head of the Uchiha clan to have her stay in the Uchiha district. This caused a lot of ruckus as most of the elders didn't want a foreigner with pink hair! to live with the esteemed Uchiha clan. Itachi convinced them that she had given them vital information concerning the Akatsuki. She had also sunk their yatch which was worth six million dollars. News of a sunken yatch had erupted all over social media in Japan. They also managed to thwart the invasion on Konoha by the Akatsuki. They could at least allow her to stay in their district. Plus it would also do their clan good to have someone like her live with them, considering how she had brought back the lost Hyuga heiress. And with that, the matter was laid to rest.
Sakura was sitting on the verandah. She was dressed in a pair of black loose shorts which ended above her knees and a grey sweater. It was mid-afternoon and she was watching children play in the streets. All the kids seemed to love her and played in front of her house. She had been given w house recently. Sasuke appeared beside her with a plastic bag in her. "What's in there?" she asked as her stomach grumbled in hunger. "No greeting today?" he asked as he sat down beside her. He was dressed in a white t-shirt and black sweatpants. He always had an uchiwa fan embroidered on all of his clothing. "Just cup ramen. I couldn't find anything worth my time," he said as he took out a cup and handed it over to her. "You were with Naruto, weren't you?" she said as she opened the miso flavoured ramen. "Hn," he replied as he took out a tomato.
"Did you find your dad?" he asked as he bit into it. She nodded as she slurped on the ramen. "He passed away last year," she spoke. "So I went to visit his grave. At least I know what happened to him. It would've been worse not knowing," she added. Sasuke nodded. For some unspoken reason, he'd been visiting Sakura everyday at her house ever since she started living in the Uchiha district. She had been living there for the past three months. Sometimes, he would be accompanied by Naruto or Shisui. This time, he was alone.
He watched Sakura eye him closely as she fiddled with her ramen. It was a look he'd seen on most females around town. She wasn't even trying to hide it. A look of hunger, a look of lust, a look of admiration. "What are you staring at?" he snapped, letting a little anger seep into his tone. Sakura looked taken aback before she let her face slip into resignation. She placed her cup beside him and stared at him dead in the eye.
"I'll be honest with you Sasuke. I like you, a lot. I think I might even love you and I wanna go out with you and have kids. But before you reject me, let me give you enough reasons for you to reject me reasonably." She paused before continuing. "During the time that Tobi held me hostage, we did a lot of things. I was always in his room and he used genjutsu to make me submit to him even though I didn't want to. And the worst oart was that small part of me enjoyed, or maybe a large part. I'm not making sense, am I? I mean to say he fucked me. He played with me, did all sorts of things that I wanted to with my future husband. I never had a boyfriend, I never even kissed anyone. He was my first for everything. I'm not chaste anymore. And so I had resigned myself to a life of loneliness. No one would want me anyways. But after I met you... I can't explain it but my heart really longs for you. It's like Tobi never happened-"
Sasuke put a finger to her mouth to silence her. Sakura stared at him in confusion. "You're annoying," he said with a smirk. "You didn't let me finish," she argued as she removed his finger with a pout. "I don't care about that," he replied.
"But I-" she stammered. Tears had begun to well up in her eyes. Sasuke rolled his eyes then poked her forehead.
"Let's just get married."
