Chapter two

It surprised him to no end how one woman could change his prospective of every other woman.

Itachi stood with the rest of the Akatsukis outside Leaders room, talking among themselves of what to do with the Hyuga living among them. “I say we should kill the bitch.” Deidaras patience was waning as anger bubbled over. “Why would we kill her when we could make her do the pity missions that seem worthless to us?” Zetsu spoke, his whole being wreaked with vengeance.

Itachi kept quiet along with Kisame Hoshigaki.

Tobi glanced down the hall before speaking. “Deidara's right. We need to get rid of her before this gets to hectic around here. Leader already wants to test her abilities on a suicide mission.” “Killing your clan isn't necessarily a suicidal mission.” Itachi spoke, gazing over to his partner. “It could be that way for her from what you told us last night. The information you gathered from her tells us that she isn't as strong as you were when you wiped out your clan.” Deidara nodded, his fist pounding his open palm as if there wasn't a mouth there.

“Then she's easy killing!” Deidaras mood changed instantly, forgetting about the fact that Hinata was at the end of the hallway. “No,” Itachi spoke up again. “We can't kill her if Leader thinks she has some potential even if it isn't much.” “All you care about is fucking her! You don't give a damn if Leader has trust in her! You'd keep her alive regardless of what Leader said.” Deidaras anger surfaced again. Itachis gaze leveled with his, the tomoes of his sharingan twirling around his single pupil.

Deidaras anger blew over.

“So this mission,” Kisame spoke up once more. “Kyubi will be easy picking.” “As for Kakashis?” Tobi began pacing down the hall. “I'd let Itachi handle him.” Zetsu answered, bounding down the hall after him. Itachi and Kisame soon followed suit. Passing an open doorway at the end of the hall, Deidara stuck his head through as the others passed.

“Hey bitch, Leader wants to see you about your mission!” He waited for a reply but got none. Entering the cramped room, his lone eye took in the scattered clothes, particularly bras, blocking the way in. “Bitch, where the hell are you?!” “Stop calling me bitch!” Hinata raged, her back facing him as she dug through a small duffel bag in the corner. He paid no attention to the fact that she only had a pair of panties on.

And she didn't bother enlightening him either.

“Leader wants to see you so get off your ass and go see him.” He left before she could reprimand him. Clawing through the bag once again, she didn't hear the second set of foot steps that entered her room.

“That's an interesting pair of underwear you have. Are those clouds on them?” Hinatas ears reddened upon hearing his voice. “I-Itachi!” He crouched behind her, his fingers freely exploring the exposed flesh of her back. She quickly covered her breasts with the shirt she held. “So Deidara told you Leader wants to see you like I told him to?” “You told him to call me a bitch?!” She turned to him, almost bumping heads with him.

It didn't faze her, she was enraged.

“I didn't tell him that but would it matter?” She rose; leaving him crouched before her duffle bag. “Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?” He brought his head up, his onyx eyes boring into her lavender ones. “Yeah I guess I am but didn't you at least want to wish me luck?” “I hope someone is lucky enough to slice your head off.” She snarled as he stood, chuckling. “That's not a very nice thing to say to someone that could easily end your life at this very moment.” She stepped back on impulse as he moved forward. “B-b-but you wouldn't k-kill me Itachi.” Her eyes wavered as he closed in on her, trapping her between his arms and the wall.

He didn't have on his cloak.

His tan, well muscular, arms surprised her. She knew he was indeed human like her but she never imagined seeing any other part of Itachi uchiha besides his face. His ring, Suzaku, reflected against the sunlight on his right middle finger. Maybe one day she would have a ring like that but not from the Akatsukis…..

“Hinata,” He called her softly, his face deathly close to hers. She glanced up, noting his eyes weren't on hers anymore. They were eyeing her cleavage analytically. Her cheeks flushed, pushing him from her. “I-I think you need to go.” Feeling his eyes burning a hole through her skull, she turned away. “I have a mission of my own to get to, remember?” Upon hearing her warning tone, he smirked. “Yeah, I suppose I should get going,” He turned to leave. “Don't try too hard on the mission.” With that he left.

What was that suppose to mean?

Hinatas pearl eyes lingered along the open doorway a bit too long. Shaking her head, she exited her room to the bathroom. Since she was the first woman, to her knowledge, to stay with the infamous Akatsukis, they let her accommodate the room adjacent to the bathroom.

For some reason, she imagined that another woman once lived in the room that she now infested.

If a woman had once lived in that room, did Itachi treat her like he treated Hinata?

Had he loved her?

She gazed at herself through the mirror, her fingers woven through her short dark hair.

Had he touched her the way he touched Hinata?

Her eyes took in the ebony tiles of the bathroom, trying to rid her thoughts of Itachi and another woman.

If he wanted to be intimate with another woman who was she to just stand in his way?

She hated him!

Or at least she thought she did.

Putting on her usual attire, a large shirt and leggings, she exited the bathroom and made her way down the hall to the Leaders room. Why had he wanted to see her on such short notice? Maybe Itachi was right about her mission. He did it without hesitation so why couldn't she? It wasn't like someone was waiting for her back in Konohagakure.

Because she loved her family.

Even if they greatly despised her at this very moment. Hinata knocked on the large wooden door, not knowing what else to do. Receiving no answer, she cracked the door open.

Darkness greeted her along with an eerie silence. Was anyone in there? This was the right room wasn't it? Eyes as red as the blood that ran through her veins glared openly at her, beckoning her to come closer. Her palms became sweaty, making her loose her grasp of the knob.

“Come in.” Hinata straightened abruptly, entering the darkened room.

Towards those eyes.

“Y-you wanted to see me?” The voice didn't speak for a moment, fuddling her even further. She bumped into something sharp, making her pause. If she didn't get light soon, she would surely be tripping and falling on her ass.

“Why are you keeping her in the dark pein?” A woman's voice caught Hinatas attention.

So a woman did live here.

Hinatas stomach dropped.

“I suppose Deidara enlightened you on your mission?” “N-no, I-Itachi did” Her hands were shaking constantly so she held them to her stomach. “I see Itachi has a soft spot for you, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to you.” “Hush Konan, she has a mission and a level of confidence to obtain.” Those eyes, the rinnegan, were on her once more.

“Confidence? I don't understand. I thought all I had to do was kill every member of my clan.” “So Itachi did enlighten you as I hoped her would.” The woman, Konan, spoke on the behave of Pein. “If you can bring yourself to rid the rest of the Hyuga clan then your Byakugan will enhance in power.” “M-my byakugan? So my eyes will strengthen just as Itachis when he ended his clans lives?” Peins eyes shifted to the form next to him, waiting for Konan to clarify what he was saying to Hinata. “Hinata, if we train you hard enough there will be no need to kill your clan but we need to see how far your loyalty goes for the Akatsukis.”

Hinata fingers curled over the material of her shirt, going unnoticed by Pein and Konan. “My loyalty? But wouldn't that mean I'm bound to kill more if I end the Hyuga clan?” “That's what we want.” Peins patience reminded her of Deidaras, short and flared.

Hinata nodded, turning on her heels. She felt as if she was being dismissed so she left incase Leader became more upset with her than he already was. Closing the door, Hinata let out a shaky breath. She was sure Pein would jump from where he was sitting and choke her to death if Konan wasn't there. She placed a hand over her chest to steady her rapidly beating heart, her head making a dull thud again the hard door.

How did Itachi do it?

If he could take orders from such an execrable man then she could, couldn't she?

She wasn't so sure how but she now had a mission do demolish the rest of the Hyuga clan, including Neji. Hinata paced her cramped bedroom, stepping over the piles of clothes that she made earlier in search of her favorite hat. She could easily said that she wasn't strong enough to do it but somehow the words left her once she was in the presence of the obnoxious Leader and his side-kick. She stopped in mid-stride, hearing distant sounds of abominable cursing.

It could only be one person.

Deidara.

Did that mean they were back then?

Rushing to the doorway, she was almost pushed down by Itachi. Was he the one cursing so distastefully? Backing away from him, she was a bit hot under the collar that he would just enter her room without even asking her if it was alright! He didn't see in the least bit phased by her new found anger for him. “Why are you acting so irascible?” He finally spoke, setting himself down on her bed. “I'm acting irascible?! You're the one who came into my room without some much of a `please' or `May I'!” She stood before him, hands on her hips.

She tried to ignore how restless his face looked.

Had they succeeded in capturing Naruto- kun?

“No we didn't.” He answered her silent question, discontent shown through his dark eyes. Her eyes never left his face. Had he actually showed emotion just now?! She lowered herself to her knees, gently placing her small hands to his knees. “Where are the others then?” He shrugged carelessly, bringing his hands up to cover his fitful behavior.

“They may have gone after him. We split up once Kakashi caught on to us.” Kakashi? Hinata felt the dying hope within her rise once more at the sound of Narutos sensei. Maybe he followed Itachi here without his knowing. Her eyes sized up the room, looking for anything that may have seemed out of place.

“He didn't follow me. Why are you so hooked onto someone rescuing you? Konohagakure frowns upon you now that you're with us so why don't you just forget about ever returning home?” He gazed at her through his slender fingers as if he was a child being punished. “If I forget about home then…then I would become just like you.” She regretted saying it as soon as it left her lips but she couldn't take it back. Itachi didn't move, it was like the air was sucked out of him hearing that. “Just like me? You don't want to ever become me,” He chuckled, the smell of smoke and gun powder filling her nostrils.

“If you become me then you'll have a black hole where your heart once belonged. You would begin to care less about your own being and others around you. You'd only live on power and trying to become stronger than you once was, not caring who you step on to get to the top.” She was mortified and It must've shown on her face as Itachis fingers traced her full lips.

“If you choose to leave Hinata, then you can go.”
