Chapter 13
Loud knocking pulled Hinata from her restless sleep. Sitting up on the side of the bed, she ran a hand through her hair. "C-come in." she said uncertainly. The door swung open to reveal Kisame standing in the doorway, grinning. He stepped inside and closed the door. Hinata noticed that his cloak was absent along with his sword. He was still wearing his blue and white pants and had on a mesh shirt. She watched his muscles flex as he walked up to her, his height forcing her to crane her neck back to look into his face. "Are you hungry?" he asked. "Y-yes." she replied. Her rumbling stomach agreed. "H-how long have I b-been asleep?" "A couple of hours, I guess." he said before leaning forward and capturing Hinata's lips in a kiss. She eagerly returned his affection. Pulling back, he playfully trailed kisses along her jawline until he could whisper in her ear. "Let's go downstairs and get something to eat." Hinata nodded and stood when Kisame released her. She really wanted to spend the rest of the evening in her room with Kisame, but according to her stomach, she might starve to death by morning. So she followed him as he turned and made his way into the hallway. As they descended the stairs, a loud noise from below made her jump and move a little closer to Kisame's reassuring presence. It sounded like a fight had broken out. Hurrying to see what was going on, they covered the rest of the distance to the first floor quickly. Locating the source of the noise, Kisame stopped in front of a door to the left and cautiously swung it open. Hinata's eyes widened. In the middle of what appeared to be a common room stood Kisho and a blonde ninja with long hair. There was a thin trickle of blood running down the corner of the blonde's mouth. Kisho's fists were clenched tightly and both men were glaring at each other. A third man was lounging casually on a nearby couch, an amused grin on his face. He had silver hair and dark violet eyes. His cloak was unfastened and gaping open to reveal a smooth muscular chest. Hinata recognized him as the same man she saw in the hallway earlier. As they stepped fully into the room, the silver haired man turned and looked at them, grin widening. "You're missing a fucking good fight, Kisame. Seems our new bitch has some history with Deidara." "Really? Good to see you're making friends already, Kisho." Kisame said with a smirk. Kisho turned and glared at Kisame. "I will NEVER be friends with that traitor!" he yelled. He started to go after the blonde again, but was stopped short by a cold voice in the doorway. "Knock it off, Kisho, now." Itachi said, walking into the room. Hinata could have sworn the temperature dropped ten degrees with the addition of Itachi's icy presence. He narrowed his eyes at Kisho, who lowered his angry gaze to the floor. "Aww, shit, Itachi. Things were just getting good and you ruined it." the silver haired man said with a frown. Itachi ignored him and continued focusing on Kisho's submissive form. Kisho gave Deidara a 'this isn't over yet' look and turned to leave. Hinata could hear him stomping down the hallway and up the stairs. After a moment she heard the faint sound of a door slamming. Itachi disappeared soon after, without a word to anyone. The blonde plopped into a nearby chair, wiping the blood off his face. He gave Hinata a warm smile. She stood there uncertainly, looking at her newest companions. "You must be Hinata. I'm Deidara, yeah." he said. "And that's Hidan." Kisame said, indicating the silver haired ninja on the couch. "Sup, bitch?" Hidan greeted. Kisame glared at him and Hinata blushed. He certainly liked to swear a lot. "H-hello." she said quietly. "You're certainly nicer than that redheaded prick, yeah." Deidara said with a frown. "D-do you really k-know Kisho-kun, D-deidara-san?" Hinata asked curiously. "Not really, yeah. I only know of him. He's a couple of years younger than me, so we didn't really see each other. He's supposed to be some kind of genius, yeah." Deidara answered. "Then why did he hit you?" Kisame asked. "It's a Stone Village thing, yeah. They're really touchy when it comes to things like loyalty to the village. Even though I was recruited to Akatsuki just like he was, Kisho-kun still considers me a traitor, yeah. Just like all the rest of the Stone Village." More interested in their new kunoichi than the present conversation, Hidan stood and walked over to Hinata. He looked her up and down. She stepped back from his intimidating gaze. There was something about him that made her want to never be alone with him. His face looked friendly enough, but there was something sadistic about his smile, and it put her on edge. She started to fidget with her fingers. Noticing her nervousness, Kisame moved closer to her, forcing Hidan to back up. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Kisame. "She looks pretty damn weak to me. Are you sure she's a fucking ninja? Or did you finally drag home a girlfriend?" he asked. Kisame stepped forward, using his large mass to back Hidan up further. Hinata could see an angry glint in his eyes, and he was emanating a deadly aura. Deidara noticed it too, because he sat silently, eyes wide, waiting to see what would happen. "She took out an Iwa ANBU by herself, and three more with very little help, all in the same fight." Kisame said harshly. "So shut the hell up." Without waiting for a reply, he angrily turned and left the common room, Hinata trailing behind him. She gave Hidan a half apologetic, half proud smile as she walked out the door. Behind her, she heard Deidara whistle lowly. "Damn, never seen him that possessive before, yeah." he said to Hidan. "Have fucking fun making shark babies!" Hidan called after them with a laugh. Kisame ignored the barb and kept walking. Hinata nearly froze at Hidan's words. ...babies? Oh no. Last night...what if she accidentally got pregnant? Her heart sank to her stomach. She had always wanted to have children eventually, but definitely not right now. She would have to retire from ninja life for an extended period of time to care for a family. And with her current situation in Akatsuki, her only usefulness was as a ninja. There was a very real possibility that she might be killed if Leader decided she wasn't useful anymore. Besides all that, she had no clue how Kisame even felt about that sort of thing. Lost in her worries, Hinata nearly bumped into Kisame when he stopped in the doorway of the kitchen. Looking up, she saw that they weren't alone yet again. Two more ninja sat at the large table in the kitchen. They both had their faces covered, one with a swirling orange mask that covered everything except one eye, the other wore a cloth covering his mouth and a hood. The one with the orange mask jumped up to greet them when they came in. "Kisame-sempai! And you must be Hinata-chan! Tobi is happy to see you." he said, giving a shocked Hinata an exuberant hug. The ninja still seated at the table shook his head. His glowing green eyes appraised Hinata carefully. The way he was staring made her start to feel like a horse being sold on the auction block. Her cheeks reddened until he looked thoughtfully away. "Hmm, we could get quite a bit out of her. With her unusual eyes and her long hair, she could make us a small fortune. I know these people..." he trailed off, talking to no one in particular. "Enough, Kakuzu." Kisame interrupted him with a frown. "Hinata's a ninja here under Leader-sama's orders, not a hostage or a slave to be sold to the highest bidder." Kakuzu just regarded him coolly and remained silent. "No! We have to keep Hinata-chan. She's cute!" Tobi protested loudly. Hinata, unused to anyone being so forward, turned a deep shade of red. Kisame chuckled, his anger receding. Tobi really knew how to diffuse a situation. One more insult to Hinata and someone's face would have been introduced to his fist. Hidan was damn lucky he didn't have a lip to match Deidara's. Chalking his irritability up to fatigue and hunger, he started rummaging in the cabinets for something decent to eat. Hinata ate her dinner in silence, absently listening to Tobi chatter on about his partner, Deidara, and the rest of Akatsuki. He schooled her on all the fun things there was to do at the base and in the Rain Village. He even gave her directions to the training grounds on the edge of the valley. He talked so much that Hinata was sure that if he were ever held for information, the organization would be doomed. He almost reminded her of Naruto, with his naïve demeanor. A wave of homesickness swept over her as she thought of her longtime friend and former crush. At one time she lived only for his recognition. She had loved him and worked hard every day to improve herself for him. But as the years passed she slowly realized that he would never return her feelings. He was in love with Sakura, and that seemed to never change as the years passed. And then last year, she found out that they had finally started dating. Hinata was devastated, but at the same time glad her friends were finding happiness. So she steeled her wounded heart and contented herself with being his friend and improving her skills as a shinobi for the sake of her uncaring family. She had never even thought about any other men after that, despite Sakura and Ino's insistence that it was unhealthy to be alone. She just didn't think she could stand to be rejected a second time. That is until she unexpectedly dropped into Kisame's life. It seemed that almost overnight, things had changed. He treated her in a way that no one else had. He didn't coddle her or fawn over her, but at the same time he cared about her and protected her. And the things he made her feel last night made her blush just thinking about it. She glanced up at Kisame, who had sat across the table from her to eat. He had been watching her the whole time she had been thinking. Their eyes met and Hinata smiled shyly at him. He returned it with a trademark smirk and she saw desire flare in his eyes. Her body responded under his gaze, making her breathing fast and her heartbeat swift. Suddenly embarrassed by her reaction, she dropped her head and hurriedly finished her food. She cleaned and put her dishes away, then said goodnight to everyone and headed upstairs to her room. Hinata had just changed into her blue tank top and sleep pants when another knock sounded on her door. She hurried to answer it. When she opened the door, she smiled. Kisame was standing there, a grin on his face. Stepping back she allowed him to enter and closed the door. Walking over to her bed, he plopped down and got comfortable, sitting in the middle with his back against the headboard. Hinata climbed up and sat beside him. Not satisfied with the distance between them, he pulled her into his lap. Almost automatically, she rested her head against his broad chest and he wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her head. Kisame inhaled deeply, taking in Hinata's scent. Woods and rain and woman and now him. He could still smell where their scents had mingled from the night before. He smiled, happy knowing that it would never fully go away. He had claimed her and she was his. Unable to keep from touching her, he trailed a calloused hand down her neck, starting at her ear and slowly making his way across her collarbone and down her arm. Entwining their hands he lifted his head and tilted it to nuzzle her opposite ear. Closing her eyes, Hinata tried to enjoy the moment, but Hidan's words kept echoing in her head. A frown made its way onto her face. She needed to talk to Kisame about it, but she wasn't exactly sure how to bring something like that up. Turning partially in his arms, she laid her head on his chest and listened to his steady breathing and the sound of his heartbeat. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her head and looked into his eyes. "K-kisame-san?" He frowned. "Just call me 'Kisame'." he said. Hinata blushed. "I-i'm sorry." "Don't worry about it." he said, dismissing the subject. "What were you going to ask?" Her blush deepened. "Umm... about w-what Hidan said and l-last night. W-what would we d-do if I g-got p-pregnant?" Embarrassed, she dropped her gaze to his massive chest encased in mesh. Kisame let out a heavy sigh and his frown deepened. "Do you remember what I told you about the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist?" She nodded and he continued. "Since I'm genetically fused with a shark demon, that means I'm not entirely human anymore. Which also means that the only person I could have children with would be a woman like myself. So don't worry, even if we wanted kids, there's no way I could get you pregnant." he said, then fell silent. Hinata looked up at his face when he didn't continue speaking. His eyes were shadowed with sadness and his features were solemn. It had hurt him to talk about it. Even though a small part of her was relieved, a bigger part of her was upset that she caused him pain. She wanted to slap Hidan for his cruelty. "I'm s-sorry." she said softly. He smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Tch. Don't worry about it. It's not like my lifestyle is ideal for a family anyway." Hinata didn't reply, just wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled into his chest, trying to comfort him somehow. Kisame held her tightly for a few moments, then eased them both into a lying position, pulling the black comforter up around them. He kissed her softly on the forehead and gently stroked her back. It wasn't long before she felt her eyelids getting heavy. Hinata fought to stay awake. She wanted to make sure Kisame was okay and she wanted to talk to him some more. But after a long day of traveling and the excitement of being in a new place around new people, her body refused to cooperate and she soon found herself slipping into unconsciousness.Shino lounged against the main gatepost and silently watched Kiba pace angrily around, Akamaru close behind him. Their sensei, Kurenai, stood off to the side, hands on her hips. The more Kiba paced, the more irritated she seemed to become. He calculated that at any moment now she would start in on him for being so restless. 'Just the nature of the beast.' he thought and smiled at his own humor.
He turned his attention toward the east and noted that the sun would be rising any minute now. If the fourth member of their group didn't show up soon, they would inevitably run into the impending party coming from Iwagakure. Tsunade didn't want them to know she was sending her own team of ninja to investigate the incident involving Hinata. Tsunade said she was confident in the remaining team members' abilities to complete the mission, but since Akatsuki was involved, she had insisted that they go as a four man cell. Just as Kurenai opened her mouth to lash out at Kiba, a voice overhead stopped her. "Yo!" Kakashi said with a wave from the archway of the gate. Book in hand, he gave them his familiar eye crinkle that indicated a smile. "It's about time!" Kiba said angrily. "We should have been gone an hour ago!" Akamaru barked in agreement. "Sorry, sorry. You see there was this elderly man at the market..." he started to say, but was interrupted by Kiba's continued ranting. "Yeah right, the market isn't even open yet." he said, crossing his arms across his chest. "Let's just go already. The longer we delay, the longer Hinata is in danger." Kakashi held up his hands in a placating gesture, then jumped to the ground. Kurenai joined him and Shino abandoned his place against the gatepost. Kiba climbed onto Akamaru's back and waited, quiet for once. Suddenly serious, Kakashi looked over the other members of the team. "Alright. The purpose of this mission is to discover the whereabouts of Hyuuga Hinata, and retrieve her if possible. We'll head to Iwagakure, the last known sighting of her, and go from there. I don't need to tell you that it is absolutely important that we keep our presence there secret. If no one has any questions, let's go." Without waiting for a response, Kakashi walked out the gate and headed northwest, the rest of the team close behind him.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
