Chapter 2
          Hinata woke with one thought. Traveling alone sucked. Sure, she'd done solo missions before, but never this far and she never liked the journey anyway. No one to talk to during the day, awake most of the night for fear of being discovered. Every sound made her paranoid. She wished desperately that she had Kiba's keen nose and Shino's stoic confidence. But thinking of her teammates soon banished her dark thoughts. They were counting on her to get back and she had a mission to accomplish. With a timid smile she sat up in the tree she had tethered herself to last night when she could travel no farther and had to sleep. She ran her fingers through her long hair to straighten it. At least no one could see how disheveled she was this morning. Life's little blessings.
          She put away her rope and jumped down to the ground. Opening her pack, Hinata grabbed a rice ball for breakfast. Finishing quickly, she wandered toward a stream she heard nearby to refresh herself and fill her canteen. Now done with her morning routine, she jumped back up into the trees and started off again. The hours wore away as she traveled and she didn't stop again until midday when her stomach protested loudly at the lack of food.
          Once again on the forest floor, Hinata activated her Byakugan to look for edible berries or other food as she walked along the road she had been following. She ate what she could find as she walked, but didn't stop to rest. The sooner this mission was over with, the better. After about an hour, her stomach was satisfied and Hinata took to the trees to spend the afternoon traveling once again. As she sped along, Hinata thought about the mission ahead of her. The scroll was to be given to an Iwa nin who was only known by the name of Kisho. If he decided to accept Tsunade's offer to come to Konoha, she would have to find a way to sneak both of them out of a hidden village undetected, no small feat. If not, she was basically at his mercy. What if he decided to tell the other ninja that she was there? The Stone Village wasn't exactly known for its kind treatment of enemies. A shudder raced down Hinata's spine and she turned her attention back to the path ahead of her.

          Well, wasn't this his lucky day. Kisame had been traveling for a couple of days now, and he was absolutely bored to death. Then, about mid-morning, things got interesting. He discovered, to his delight, that he was being followed. He slowed his pace so he could evaluate the situation. Sniffing the air, he distinguished three different scents. A malicious grin spread across his face. There were certainly some advantages to being part shark, a keen sense of smell one of the better ones. Speeding up, he started watching the terrain for a spot suitable for the upcoming battle.
          Now it was time. A deep river was ahead, perfect for enhancing his jutsu. Kisame ran out into the middle of the river and turned around to wait. Presently the three following him came to a standstill on the bank a few yards away. They didn't look like much of a challenge. They were dressed simply, black pants and vests, and Kisame couldn't see any identifying forehead protectors. Their faces looked grim, but determined.
          "Who are you and what do you want?" Kisame's rough voice rang out.
         "Hoshigaki Kisame, my name is Haru and we're here to take you down!" the apparent leader of the three replied.
          "Hunter nin, eh? This is gonna be fun."
          Kisame grasped the hilt of Samehada as the lesser two ninja charged and the one called Haru started making hand seals for a jutsu. With one swipe of Samehada, the attacking ninja were pushed back. Tucking the sword under his arm, Kisame started performing hand seals of his own.
          "Mizu bunshin no jutsu!" he said as two more versions of himself appeared. 'That should hold those two idiots off while I deal with their leader' Kisame thought with a smirk. The clones charged the ninja and as they began to battle, Kisame turned his attention back to Haru. Jutsu finished, the man stood there with two large plants on either side of him. They looked like giant white lilies and stood even with the ninja's head. The flowers were closed, but the flower heads bobbed excitedly.
          Kisame raised an eyebrow. "Flowers? What the hell are you gonna do with those? I suppose you want me to give them to your widow. I would, but I have a busy schedule to keep. Can't leave the boss hanging, ya know?"
          Haru narrowed his eyes in anger. "Poison Dart Attack!" he cried. The flowers quickly opened their blooms, launching senbon at Kisame, then closed again. Bringing Samehada around to the front, the needles were easily blocked.
          Forming more hand seals, Kisame counterattacked. "Suiton: Suikoudon no Jutsu." Twin streams of water sprang from the river, towering over Kisame. When they reached their peak, the water sharks launched forward and slammed into the flowers. Kisame grinned, then stared in shock. The blooms had drooped under the force of the water, but then they started to expand. Shooting upward, the blooms doubled in size almost immediately.
          "Plants thrive on water, you idiot. Your water based attacks will only make me stronger." Haru stated flatly.
          "Then I'll just have to do this the messy way." Kisame said. Swinging Samehada out to the side, he charged. Dodging a shower of senbon, he was nearly to his opponent when a sharp pain in his leg made him halt. Thorny vines had sprung from the ground and were wrapped tightly around his leg. The thorns were digging into his flesh, and he could see blood seeping into the vines. Kisame glared at Haru.
          "Drawing Vines Attack. My plants will slowly drain you of your blood. Water isn't the only thing they thrive on." Haru said triumphantly. The once white petals of the flowers were now a brilliant crimson and the blooms stayed open, revealing a mass of poison coated senbon in their centers.
          "Tch. As if your weak little seedlings are any match for my Samehada." and with that, Kisame swung his sword in an arc and shredded the vines, sending dirt and stones flying everywhere. One of the dislodged rocks spun forward with the force and hit the lead hunter ninja in the cheek. A drop of crimson slowly ran down the man's angry face and dripped off his chin. Kisame froze.
          All at once, the scent of enemy blood hit Kisame's senses. His pupils dilated and his heart pounded in anticipation as the bloodlust he was so famous for rose to the surface. The primal beast in him roared, demanding satisfaction. Satisfaction that only came with a large amount of spilled blood. As if sensing the change in its master, Samehada started wiggling expectantly. A feral gleam rose to Kisame's eyes. "Get ready you bastard, here I come."
          Kisame leapt forward, spinning Samehada over his head. He brought the great sword down on Haru's shoulder, dragging it back, shredding the man's shoulder to ribbons. He then disappeared and reappeared behind him, dragging his sword across his other shoulder. As his opponent sank to his knees from pain, Kisame swung Samehada in a circle, felling both of the plants. With another swing forward, Haru was hit in the back and tossed forward like a rag doll. Blood sprayed out of his broken back, staining the grass and soaking into the dirt. With a groan, he rolled over to find Kisame standing over him. "Well, Haru, it's been fun. But Hell just called your name and it's time for you to go. See ya there."
          A final swing brought Samehada down on the man's throat, opening the jugular vein and spewing blood into the air. It coated Samehada and Kisame both, and Kisame grinned. Yeah, that felt great. But not nearly good enough. Turning to the other two ninja that had finally managed to dispatch his clones, he smirked.
          "Now then, time to play."

          Hinata was steadily making progress in her journey. After a few days she had lost her general nervousness. Now everything was just monotonous. With a heavy sigh, she decided to stop for lunch. The sun was getting hot and she was thirsty. Hearing a river nearby, she dropped to the ground and started toward it. But before she got a dozen steps toward her destination, she stopped. Something didn't feel right. A menacing aura hung in the air. Hinata quickly ducked behind a tree, drawing a kunai as she did so. She listened, but couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary. Activating her Byakugan, she scanned the area for life. No one was around, but the river bank looked disturbed. She stealthily made her way toward it, her kunai shaking ever so slightly.
          When she cleared the last tree, Hinata's eyes widened in shock and her hand flew to her mouth. The scene before her was absolutely gruesome. The bank was covered in blood. It was everywhere. The grass was coated and the dirt was stained with it. Large chunks of...something was strewn about. She started to gag as she realized that they were the bodies of three people. Ninja, judging by the gouges in the earth and the senbon still sticking in the ground in various places. And from the way the blood was starting to dry, Hinata figured it had happened sometime the previous day.
          Then the smell hit her. It was so overpowering, she started to shake. Dropping to her knees, she wretched violently. Who could have done such a thing? The way they were slaughtered was so cold and unfeeling. Unable to take any more, Hinata shakily climbed to her feet and fled as fast as she could go. She realized that she was in terrible danger. What if whoever did that found her? She was alone with no help in sight. Whoever could take down three ninja that easily would surely outmatch her. She doubled her speed toward Iwa. At least in a town she could hide among the people. Out here, she was a sitting duck.
          When she reached what she knew were the outskirts of Iwagakure, Hinata stopped. She couldn't just go barging in the front gates, after all. She jumped to one of the few trees she could see to create a plan. She soon became absorbed in her thoughts. What could she use to get in the gates? She could try to sneak in, but if she were caught, it'd be over before it began. She couldn't say she was a trader, the only thing she carried with her was her pack. She could claim she was lost, but she doubted that would work. If a henge wouldn't work, surely they wouldn't believe that excuse. She thought about using a little "feminine persuasion", but she doubted she could pull it off without blushing or fainting. Maybe a little more scouting of the area would reveal a decent plan. Hinata dropped down to land on a lower branch of the tree.
          Thunk!
          ….
          That didn't sound like any branch she'd ever landed on.
          "Don't move." a rough voice said. She froze.
          Hinata glanced down to see what she had landed on, and wished she hadn't. How she managed it she'll never know, but somehow Hinata found herself balanced precariously on the broadside of one very large wrapped sword.
          "If you try to take a single step, your feet will be shredded." the voice added. She added a little more chakra to her feet to make sure she kept her balance, and felt it drain away from her body. She looked at the owner of the voice and paled. The sword was still balanced on the shoulder of one very tall, very menacing looking man. His head was turned toward her and she could see that his appearance was very odd indeed. Dark blue hair seemed to defy gravity as it pointed skyward. His skin was grey with dark gill-like markings below his predatory yellow eyes. His face was all hard lines, not a single curve could be seen. His slashed headband indicated that he was formerly from the Village Hidden in the Mist. Then she noticed his cloak. Jet black with red clouds.
          'Oh Shit' Hinata thought, 'Akatsuki'
          Grinning at her obvious fear, the missing nin spoke again. "Well, well, Samehada, looks like we've found a little hummingbird." The sword began wiggling beneath Hinata and she started feeling weak as her chakra was drained away. She felt faint, and she stared at the ninja in front of her.
          "G-gomen" she stuttered. Then she started to sway and her world went black.
