Seven Nights

In early afternoon during minus degrees of cold, Shino and Kiba hidden themselves somewhere near Hyuga Compounded and both of them were nervous, they could see suddenly family members rushing out back and front and planning about something and suddenly a monk showed up. Knowing that some of Hyugamembers would discover them fast, Shino made sure of using his kikaichu buzzing around for checking, before attack as Shino, Kiba and Akamaru stayed many meters away.

A Swollen fat monk with his snobby attitude, who wore all finest silk of his clothes, as the monk spoke shortly to Hyuga Leader Hiashi, before they both went inside to the cabin, just few minutes away from Hyuga compound. Shino and Kiba figured out that, the shrine will be the place, where Hinata was going to be forced to marriage, as they sent radio signal to Tenten.



Lee and Tenten who listen to their signal of wedding location, after they disappeared on other side, for preparation of attack after Tenten who was excellent spy, found out that the marriage will start already about less than twenty minutes.

Before then they discussed the older plan about more time to beg others to help them with all forces, but things changed fast and there was no more time to ask others for supplies, all they had was their own tools and hope for saving Hinata before she even committed to the lifetime of marriage. Lee and Tenten, who knew Neji and Hyugamembers techniques so well, Tenten used dressing-up-jutsu, to look like any Hyugamembers, after they knocked down one Hyuga-guard and a maid. The time was already ticking.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hinata suddenly woke up naked at the bathtub, as the maids immediately giving her fast scrub before they dragged her out from the bathtub, before Hinata could say anything or even think about what's going on. They started dried her body with towels as well as her long hair and the one maid began pulling on shiromuku the white kimono as the wedding dress, while the other maid worked fast with make-up and hairdressing, all bruises from top to toe has to vanish.

But Hinata didn't give a damn, she felt apathetic, frozen by all fear and cold in this environment. One more maid come inside only to put her special wedding hat watabôshi and the jewels, her father ordered to put on and nothing word from the maidens ever spoke to Hinata, all they did was dressing her up as one of their duties for Hyuga household. When two other maids left, one maid stayed and was checking details, as she suddenly whispered to Hinata's ear; ”Don't be afraid, Hinata...”

Hinata noticed the familiar voice, she gasped by shock, as the maid covers her mouth with her hand and said; ”It's me, Tenten, but don't say anything. Just do what I said. Everything is going to be alright. Your men and Lee-kun is coming for us.”

”B-but h-how did you?” Hinata tried to ask, but was interrupt by Tenten, who said; ”There is no time, we have only few minutes until the others shows up and dragging you away, but I tell you one thing, as soon as we are at the shrine, they will coming for attack and be prepared, because nothing will be easy. In meanwhile, pretend that you're naive girl, happily to getting married.”

”Thank you so much, Tenten-chan...” Hinata said, hugging the girl, trying not to let the tears falling, Tenten hugged her back, whispering; ”You're welcome, Hinata-chan, by the way, I can't wait for the wedding... with you and your men.” As they stopped hugging each other, two maidens suddenly shows up and one of them said; ”It's time now, Hinata-sama.” As they bowed with no emotions and Tenten, still in jutsu, she did the same as Hinata stopped being apathetic, but bowed a slight back in respect as she pretend to be the bride and they began walking to the cabin.



Neji wearing white and black haori-hakama waited together with the monk for almost now ten minutes and he grew already impatient at the same time, he made sure that he was using his byakugan to watch over the territory, only to make sure that no intruders gone inside as well at the other Hyuga family members. Lord Hiashi showed up at the Hyuga cabin also wearing haori-hakama like all main and branch family members, except women and girls as they wore simple black kimonos. Hiashi was also very impatient as Hanabi come and told them that the maidens were finished with Hinata.

Few minutes later, a doll-alike Hinata shows up as three maidens followed behind her as expected. Totally paled with no emotions as she rather looked like a white ghost.

She looked up first at her father with no emotion and then at her so-called fianceé who violated her for just now twelve minutes ago and as usual, Neji remain cold and pretend that nothing like this ever happened. Hanabi simply smirked, hoping that as soon as Hinata was married to the branch-member, the chances for being the heir coming closer and she just wanted the whole thing to end, so she could go back to her room and have some fun for her own.



On inside Neji was furious over that he was interrupted for having fun with his timid ”wife” as Tenten lightly pushed Hinata forward to standing side by side with Neji, the music start rolling as the monk began walking first with the betrothed couple followed after them.

Hinata not looking at Neji, walked beside him as Tenten were exactly behind her as the music were playing and the monk walked straight and other Hyugamembers follows after them. Lee disguised as guards followed behind the guests quietly and pretending that they're guarding the whole marriage rituals and hoping that things works as planned.

However he become more worried whenever Shino or Kiba was going to send him and Tenten the signal in any minute, Hinata getting further to the alter.

Way there to the shrine, as Neji and Hinata stepped over to the alter, as the monk turned around at highest position and began murmur about voles as he poured saké over two small cups.

Hinata barely listening to the monk's voles, too impatient about her men and Lee interrupting the wedding, until the monk began asking Neji if he was taking Hinata to his wife and so on and he answered yes impatiently and when it was Hinata's turn, as planned she looked straight to the monk, saying nothing, she kept silent as the monk began asking again if she was swearing love and loyalty to her future husband.

All others, especially Neji, Hiashi and Hanabi become frustrated and impatient about Hinata's no answer, Hiashi said then that he approved the marriage, but before the monk ever could bring those cups, suddenly they heard some explosion just few meters away from the shrine.

As everyone except Hinata and Tenten paying attention to explosion as all others impatiently using byakugan, one guard began pushing others forward as knocking down. Neji impatiently notice the fighting moves as Hiashi using the curse seal of bringing the guard down, but nothing happens as Neji used his fastest speed only to knock the intruder down with juuken as the jutsu vanished back to normal self. Lee was disclosed as he immediately stood up, ready for fight.



”You!? Lee?! How in the hell...” Neji trail as he become furious over this, but he's got no more time to think, when Tenten suddenly showed her moves as she began grabbing Hinata's arm as they took few steps away from him. As Hanabi noticed that the maid was not the same person, she toss kunai, but the girl catched it easily, as the smoke puffed and showed her real identity.

”My, my, Hyuga Hanabi, hadn't you notice the Konaha's most known Weapon Mistress?”

”Tenten...” Neji whispered, as he gave her evil glare, but the girl simply smirked as Hanabi yelled; ”You bitch!”

”Oh my, a young kid like you using the foul language, that sound very unyouthful to me.”



Neji knew that Kiba and Shino would do this and did expect the attack, but nothing prepared him that it was his own teammates who started and were behind his back all the time. ”Neji-san,” Lee began speaking; ”The reason why we're doing this, is because what you have done was very unyouthful by taking advantages of Hinata-sama, like animal and as shinobi, it is my duty to protect all ladies from all harms, especially from you, Neji-san!”



”Lee-kun is right, Neji! I never thought that you of all people would hurt a lady like this, especially your cousin!” Tenten said in agreement, pulling Hinata behind her as Tenten now showed her large scroll with plenties of weapons as Lee stood now in his typical taijutsu-style. Everyone who just stood still, highing their eyebrows, as Neji just smirked and said; ”Heh! How thoughtful of you, but the fact is, she is mine! I had her first!” ”WRONG ANSWER!”

Someone roared as suddenly another explosion hit at the shrine, but this time with purple smokes come as everyone coughed, their byakugan was working less as suddenly two giant attacks sounding like motorsaw as someone roared; ”GATSUUGA!!” Everyone tried their best to escape the attack as Neji using his kaiten only to smash both of them down. As Tenten and Lee fought other Hyugamembers, Neji discovered Kiba and Akamaru reveling themselves to disguise as both Kiba and Neji gave each other icy glare as Akamaru barked and sneered.



Hinata noticing Kiba's and Akamaru's present, she tried to walk forward, but suddenly Hiashi stood in way as he spoke: ”This is all your fault! You brought the shame to our precious clan and because of this, you are no longer heir nor Hyuga! You have no father, nor sister nor anyone! You're dead to me!” Then she looked at her father straight in his eyes and said; ”And you think I really care about it anymore? I had never been part of this so-called family, now please Hiashi, let me go.” With no politeness in her voice nor naming his title, Hiashi's face became enraged, as she could see his forehead bulging, just like Neji showed her not even for thirty minutes ago, same anger, same hatred and same views of people and the world. She could no longer remember the father she once loved as a child nor her cousin who used to talk a lot about how cute she was, when she was little or when Hanabi was still a baby and innocent.



Hiashi prepared to using the green light as Hinata impatiently recognize the sign; the curse seal. And when he grabbed her arm harshly as he was going to hit her pan with the seal, the monk turns to kikaichu as they buzzed around him and attacking Hiashi as Hinata free herself from the sudden seal as she backed further away, when Hanabi helping Hiashi fighting merciless against kikaichu and Tenten who fought the young girl, even though the bugs didn't succeed killing Hiashi, they did broke his left arm, while Hanabi was knocked down by Tenten's weapons. Hinata realizing that Shino come behind her, whispered; ”Shino-kun... h-how did you?” ”It dosen't matter now, my love. Let's just get you out of here.” While everyone was fighting as Hiashi refused to give up, with broken arm as he used all his chakra for attacking Shino, while the Aburame-boy ducked the juuken attacks with Hinata in his arms as they suddenly jumping away the alter, while Shino carried Hinata in bridal style. Tenten nodded at Shino as she said; ”Go ahead, let me and Lee taking care of this mess.” And she ran toward to Lee, who desperately need back-ups when he was fighting alone against Hyugamembers.



In meanwhile as both Kiba and Neji noticing that Shino was disappearing with Hinata, Kiba decided to stay only to make things up with Neji as he longed to. ”Heh! Now then Shino had took our little mistress, I'm going to kill you, rapist!” He sneered as he prepared together with giant Akamaru for attack as Neji just smirked, answering; ”And you really think you can stop me? I'am the most powerful jounin if you hadn't forgot, dogbreath! Oh by the way, I've heard that a faggot like you loves to get hurt back behind? Very well, I'll make sure that you'll really get's hurt...BADLY!”



”What's the matter, pansy? You're afraid of little dirty butt-sex? Well of I've heard from Tenten how much you sucked in sexlife, even by simple blowjob! You had to be very violent with no emotions, hadn't you?” ”Because she asked for it, she's just a dumb girl like everyone.” With that Neji using one of most powerful attack by 64th palm jutsu as Kiba did his best to protect all his chakras, lucky to have Akamaru who immediately attacked Neji by flying over him, only to pee and it hit Neji's eyes directly.



”ARGH!!! DAMNIT! You fucking mutt!” Neji roared as he trying to protect his eyes from all piss, Akamaru just gave him, while Kiba used his fangs to beat Neji up merciless as Neji ducked many times, while Akamaru was attacking him back behind. After all kickings, Neji was lying at the ground, bleeding and growling over the defeat, while Kiba and Akamaru decided not waiting, instead hurried after Shino and Hinata, as Lee and Tenten knocked down two last guards as they hurried after the others. Neji watching them disappearing, as he growled over the pain and humiliation; ”Damnit! I'll get my revenge one day... you guys just wait, especially you, Hinata...”





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One hour later



Far away from the town, somewhere in forest, they stopped at the destination, where there's small mountain village with one motel. As Tenten and Lee bid Shino, Kiba, Akamaru and Hinata good bye and left to taking care of stopping ANBU or any Shinobi for following after them, the team hurried to the closest inn they could find. Entering they were greeted by a friendly elder woman. She didn't stood far away from the as she softly spoke; ”How many nights for rooms?” Shino who still carried exhausted Hinata, answered; ”We need one night at one room, please and also a bathroom.”

”Well, we have one room with huge bed as well as we got bath facility, is there all?” None of the boys said anything as the woman told them the prices as Kiba payed. “Here is a key. I’m giving your the room directly connected to the largest main bath. I hope you three, including the dog enjoy the place.” ”Thank you” Kiba muttered as the woman handed him the key and the team hurried to the room.

Opening the door Shino laid Hinata on the bed, Hinata feeling emotional and physical, curling herself into a ball as she trying to get some sleep. Shino and Kiba looking at her with the pain in their eyes, feeling guilt over that they didn't come for her sooner as she looked traumatized, but when any of them was going to say something, Hinata turned around to look at them with many emotions in her eyes, whispering; ”My men... you c-came back..”

Kiba and Shino moved forward as they immediately pulled her in their embrace for a longest time, since before Hinata was kidnapped. None of them, said anything as they just cuddled each other and as they laid down at the bed, the sleep took over for awhile.



Five hours later, Shino woke up first as he notice that the day was began getting darker and everything was peaceful, though he did wonder if Lee and Tenten were alright, after all he owned them big for helping them kidnapping Hinata away from that wedding. As expected, he sent away kikaichu to find out of what happened to the couple, while Hinata and Kiba still sleeping tight as Akamaru jumped after kikaichu for eventual help.



Watching Hinata and Kiba sleeping peacefully, he smiled, feeling himself protector of his teammates, his friends, his lovers and now his betroths. Realizing that he still wore heavy clothes, he rise up from his bed as he was taking of his coat and sunglasses and carefully pulling of Kiba's jacket, Hinata's wedding-hat and her jewels. As Shino covered his lovers with blanket, he decided to go out for food supplies as he need to know about informations from Lee and Tenten.

Outside of the inn, he took few steps for looking around, waiting patiently after the message, at this moment his kikaichu finally shows up as they began showing their message by turning themselves to written language. Shino read it and felt a bit relieved, Tenten and Lee was fine, but kikaichu began showing bad news; Hyuga clan had been charging accusation against his clan and Inuzuka clan for kidnapping Hinata, but also because of trespassing Hyuga compound and it's already heard at Hokage's office and ANBU was still searching for them.

Shino stopped reading the message, it was already enough for him, everything was exhausting from yesterday to this day and he went back to the inn, only for checking inside at the room. But when he open the door, he saw both Kiba and Hinata already awake and Akamaru came back as he was petted by Kiba with his serious face.

As Hinata laid still at the bed, not moving a itch, Kiba stood up as he said; ”I guess that you got the news from your bugs as well?”

”Yes, but Kiba...”

”We can never go back.” Kiba's tone was deadly serious.

”Kiba-kun... don't be so hasty, there's still chance..”

”Still chance for what? That Hinata would be kidnapped again and this time, it wouldn't be only by Neji! BUT THE WHOLE ARMY FROM KONOHA!! Have you ever thought about it, you know the law about trespassing other households and temples without permission and you are aware that we're risking our lives and becuase of that, we can't stay! We have to leave Konohakure for... good...”

”Kiba! Don't say that! I will talk to Hokage Tsunade, I'll ask my clan, your clan for protection, they can protect us, they...”

”Shino, you don't understand... do you? I never thought you would be so impulsive...” Kiba spoke as Shino flinch over his love's comment. ”I mean it every word... Hokage Tsunade won't help us, not becuase she dosen't want to, but because she can't. She dosen't have ultimate power over this land for doing this. Hyuga clan won't give up, they will even kill us and Hinata, if they find us, their pride and secrets of byakugan comes first, no matter what reasons. I know this, because...” Kiba stopped talking as he looked down at Hinata who hasn't said anything yet.

He stroke her hair as he saw Shino straight in his eyes and said; ”As we know about the family more than anyone, they've being raised to protect their clan no matter what, by then love and compassion has no place in their cruelty. And falling in love is the weakness they've loathed so much, do you even know how her mother died, why so many Hyuga women dies in early ages?”

”I'm not exactly sure, but they've giving too many births...”

”Kiba-kun, Shino-kun... th-that is...not how... mother died...” Hinata suddenly spoken. ”Mother... she... she never knew father, she was Hyuga, but she lived in other village in Konohakure and unlike many others, she was a free spirit. Her mother was too sick to raise her and her father was always either at war or other business, mother was raised by a medicine nin, who also taught her other ninjustu techniques, just like me...” She smiled when she spoke warmly about her mother, but then she frown, still not turning around to face her men, she continued; ”But then her parents suddenly got killed by enemies during the war and her uncle, who was Elder Council-member, he decided to marry her with my father and she had to leave everything she loved behind, only to move into this compound and spent her life with him...”

”So that's it. She just lived her life with your father with no question or anything?” Kiba suddenly interrupt as Shino giving him a angry glare.

”Actually she never wanted to marry him, but in times like war and sudden lost of family members, she had no choice and her house was burned to the ground and no they never loved each other, I mean she was so young and he was already adult and a clan leader and as a young bride, she was terrified of him. I don't know the details, but I remember clearly as a child that he was really harsh on her, treated her more like a pet, than his wife and... Then when she was getting her second birth with Hanabi, it was terrible, I could remember watching and hearing her screaming of pain still clear as if was yesterday, as I was crying over her, but when I was going to touch her, father suddenly came inside as he pushed me harsh aside and told me to get out and I was pulled outside and had to wait forever... but when Hanabi finally come out and hearing her screaming, mother was suddenly quiet and as I was about going inside, the door was opened as I could see father stepping out with stern face, not looking at me as he said; ”Your mother won't have much time. Go and see her.” I rushed to my mother. All I saw was blood everywhere, at futon, between her legs and sheets, even the floor around her was filled with blood as she was looking at me, panting with small smile. Her face was so red and her white eyes tired, but she was strong enough to hold me and stroking my hair for the last time and whispering softly that everything was going to be alright and then father suddenly stood behind me...”



Hinata curling herself to a ball, as she was shaking and tears were rolling to her eyes; ”But... mother didn't died by giving a birth, m-my father... he decided t-to end her life, b-by juuken attack... a simple attack at her head and h-her heart... stopped beating... I remember I was crying over and over mother, begging father to taking her back, but he just giving me his cold glare and said; ”She is not coming back! She is dead, live with it."

”B-but ... but... why fa-father!? I... I wa..want my mommy!” And I could feel the smack as I fell on the floor, crying even more, while everyone just starring, not doing anything, they didn't even flinch when he killed her.. and his simple answer was; ”Betrayal,” That was all he said and since that most horrible day, I could never get over this, at the same time, mentioning her name was forbidden, nobody talked about her, I never really knew why she would betray father and how, but I never got the answer... and I don't know... if I ever going to have the answer for.. the real truth...”

Kiba and Shino decided to lay down on each side for holding their little mistress tight, Kiba was looking at her eyes as Shino was behind her back, lulling her to sleep as Kiba stroking her hair and kissing her sweaty temple. Soon as the night was coming and the stars were shining bright, the sleepiness was finally taking over for exhausted lovers.
