OoOoOoO

Urm nothing much to say XD. Well but Ill say what I say for all my fanfictions The MORE you review the SOONER a new chapter comes out so review! And thanks to all my current reviewers:P

OoOoOoO

The brilliant light streamed in the room, awaking Hinata from her restless slumber. Though the birds were chirping pleasantly, the past day had not been forgotten. Hinata wearily got up and ready. Still not quite grasping all that had happened.

“Aiko.” She called out for her servant, in which she realized soon after she was not in the castle. When she finally came to her senses, she cried a bit more realizing she was now alone. “Be Strong.” Her father’s words echoed in her head. Drying the last bit of tears that had fallen on her cheeks, she prepared to leave.

Though leaving was unpleasant, the people of the city did not greet their princess kindly but as though she was a curse. As she ran from the village she heard shouts of hatred. By coming here people had lost family, friends, comrades, or would this have happened anyways?

Hinata didn’t have that much time to think, as she neared where she had left her horse. New guards had been placed by the city gates. “Please, let me through.” Hinata asked kindly.

The guards ignored he request and grabbed her tightly. “Oh, and what do we get in return for letting you pass?” The other guard poked her. “Huh, Princess?” Their grip on her tightened. “Please,” Hinata begged. “Your hurting me, let go!” As she spoke these words the same maroon light from yesterday exploded and threw the guards a way from her, unconscious.

She took the stone from her pocket, and pointed it at the door. ‘I’m not sure if this will work, but…’ she thought. “OPEN!” The doors creaked open, delighted that she had accomplished something she eagerly stepped forward but was shocked when she tripped.

The stone rolled out in front of her. “Stupid.” The stone said. She looked at it strangely, did she just hear the stone talk? No, no, no, no! That wasn’t possible. “Who’s talking?” Hinata asked.

A chuckle was heard. “Its me, Kyuubi.” The stones neatly polish surface reflected a small fox with nine tails. Hinata stared at it in shock. “Stupid girl,” It hissed. “You shouldn’t try to use so much power at one time.” She could literally feel the anger coming off of Kyuubi. “When inside the stone I cannot totally use my powers alone, in order to use my full powers I must drain the wielder’s power as well. You are much to weak, and have been lucky so far,” He hissed at me yet again. “Use my powers at your own risk; you’ll only be killing yourself.” He snickered and the image of Kyuubi disappeared as silence fell around the area.

Hinata slowly picked herself up, picking up the stone as well. She quickly regained her full strength and took out her map. After a few minutes of studying she decided that she would have to go around the city of Himune, the people surely would not let her back in.

The guards began to stir as she got on her horse and trotted away. Her next destination was a town called Geishin.

OoOoOoO

All in all it took Hinata about two days to reach the outskirts of Geishin. Himune was a truly large city to go around Hinata had discovered. Spending the night in the forest had scared her senseless so she hadn’t scared much. She wished she could go back to her luxurious castle but she would endure.

Though as she arrived close to Geishin she spotted what looked like a camp, she approached it to see if she may spend a night there to rest.

“Hello there, Miss. What business do you have here?” A guy in a formal suit asked. “My name is Hinata Hyuuga–“ “Lady Hyuuga?” He formally bowed to me. “So have you come to purchase more slaves from my business?” He grinned and me and I gasped in horror. ‘Slaves?!’

OoOoOoO

Hinata had no clue that there was an actual slave trading business in her kingdom. “I was looking more for if I could spend the night here for one day?” She meekly asked. He grinned at her. “Why of course Hinata-Sama!” He clapped his hands as servants came and showed me to a little camp.

They had brought me to a small log cabin of many. She burst open the door, inside was a man with blonde hair and blue eyes. “Naruto, out Hinata-Sama will be staying in here tonight. You can sleep outside.” He grunted at them. “Hinata-Sama…huh? Why can’t she sleep outside?” He said rather rudely.

“Why you…” One of the men who had lead me to the cabin walked up to him and punch him in the face, he was unconscious blood spilled from his new wound. “Take him out of here, and beat him.” The man commanded. I had to do something.

“Stop!” I yelled, not sure if that would help. They stared at me. I clenched my fists. “Please! Just go!” They bowed and quietly left the small cabin. Hinata went over to the small sink and wetted a washcloth. She carefully lifted his head and cleaned the wound the best she could. By the time she had finished he was already awake.

He pulled back rather quickly. “What are you doing here? You’re a princess you don’t belong down here with the poor people.” “I’m on a mission.” He laughed. “They don’t send princess’ on mission that is why they have slaves like us.” She smiled in return. “Oh but your wrong! This is a very important mission that my father told me only I could do.” He looked at me with interest, I don’t know why but I decided to tell him the story of my recent events.

OoOoOoOo

“So your telling me your on a mission but you don’t really know what your suppose to do?” She played with her fingers a little. “Well, yeah, but I know somehow it’s very important.” The moon shone brightly in the sky as they continued to talk for what seemed like hours.

“Hey, obviously since that Kiba guy died right? And you need some help…how about I come along with you?” He suggested. Hinata looked at him, it was true she did need help. Even if she tried to be strong she wouldn’t make it alone.

“Alright, but doesn’t that mean I have to uh…buy you?” She asked. He snorted and laughed. “No, if we sneak out then no. I think selling people is wrong, even though there selling me as well. I got sold here when my parents were killed by a demon.”

Hinata stared at him. “A demon?” She felt around for the stone, it was still there unharmed and she let out a breath of relief. The stone was important whether she liked it or not. Could Kyuubi be the demon who killed Naruto’s parents?

“Alright.” Though it was a person she was helping out of slavery, it still felt like stealing. She hoped at least one god would forgive her later.

They silently crept out of the house, stealthily. Hinata had almost given them away when she tried to talk to Naruto. She never had to really sneak around the castle, plus she was the princess who would harm her?

There were people all over looking for run away slaves. So they got further and further away from the place, though Hinata had to leave her horse she had brought all her belongings with her. By morning they had already reached the city of Geishin. Thoroughly tired from no sleep and walking all night, they quickly found a inn to stay at.

O-O-O-O-O

When they got into the room they both dropped there packs, and the letter that her father gave her slipped out from her pack. Hinata bent over and picked it up. I suppose I should read this, she thought. She set it down on the nearby dresser and fell asleep next to Naruto. She would read the letter in the morning when she was able to fully function. This night her dreams were warm and peaceful.

O-O-O-O-O-O
