Story: His Slave

Chapter 6: Misunderstandings

Here ya go *wipes brow* phew that took forever to write

Recap:

Itachi's eyes widened since that was the last thing he expected but nevertheless leaned into the kiss but than Hinata's feet got all wobbly again because of the alcohol and her nearly falling did the trick in waking the little prodigy out of his trance. He quickly regained his composure and swept her in his arms right before she hit the floor.

Even though drunk she still managed to sense his mood turn angry again but when she tried leaning for another kiss he swiftly blocked her this time and poured more cure down her throat in hopes of having her back to normal because he'll be damned if he slept with her in this condition.

The recent events started again. Itachi angry again only this time at himself for kissing a girl that obviously didn't have a conscious thought of what was going on. Much less what she was doing. Some stoic, emotionless shinobi he turned out to be 'I really should think about quitting ANBU' he thought gloomily.

End Recap.

Hinata's eyes blinked than she closed them back again when the light of the morning sun made contact with her eyes adding more to the splitting headache.

Itachi noticed this and immediately reached over the nightstand and placed two objects in her numb hands. The raven still seated placed himself at an angle such that the sun hit his back not his poor slave's face.

Hinata having sensed this change in movement opened her eyes and saw a glass of water and pills in her hands. She blinked questioningly at him.

"I would have given them to you yesterday and you would have avoided this headache today but you were already sleeping so I decided not to wake you up" He said monotonously and for once in his life the ANBU captain felt the need to avert his eyes from hers lest she finds out what he said is a lie.

In truth he was responsible since he was the one that gave her the sleeping pills because she wouldn't sober up and there was no way he would have slept with her in that condition. He had a feeling that 'sleeping' was definitely on his affectionate drunken slave's mind, it just didn't mean resting. So he decided to put her to sleep for real (sleeping pills) and give him some peace of mind knowing she'll be out till morning when hers and his headache will begin.

Hinata clutched her belly but noticed that although she felt a little nauseous it wasn't to the point that she would throw up for real and even all the other symptoms seemed to have been decreased too.

"I gave you an uchiha remedy yesterday. The pills were supposed to help you sober up but they also decrease the hangover so you should be fine after a couple of hours and a good breakfast"

"Thank you Itachi" she smiled gratefully at him.

Itachi realized by the way his little slave was acting that she didn't remember last night's kiss and he sure as hell wasn't going to remind her. If things continued the way they were before than it was good enough for him. He was ANBU after all he couldn't afford distractions.

He sighed as he remembered his other problem and he got sick of stalling so he just dropped the bomb-shell on her "Under Father's orders you'll be sent today to another slave to receive 'lessons'"

Hinata may have been innocent but she was in no way stupid so after her master finished the sentence her face gone brighter than a tomato in a few milliseconds and she started stuttering "…b…uu…t!" at this point Itachi felt like killing his father for making his shy, little slave start stuttering again.

"You just play along and humor father while I try to work something out and get you out of there. It'll only be for a couple of hours and I'll even come walk you off and pick you up" he encouraged her but even he didn't seem too thrilled about his little enslaved angel receiving perverted lessons.

*With Neji and Hanabi*

Hanabi's tear-swollen eyes blinked forward at the morning sun as she muttered lifelessly "I wonder how Tsukiko is doing?"

Neji blinked. Sure his little cousin was a shinobi but both her and Hinata were horrible at masking their emotions. It was a trait they got from their dead mother so it was definitely shocking hearing Hanabi speaking in a monotone voice but he blamed that on the fact that they had been running at top speed, non-stop since yesterday night. Still he didn't know how to answer her question so he asked one of his own "Do you want to take a break? We haven't stopped once and it's already morning. I'm sure if we stop for a little bit we won't get caught after we put in this much distance. That and we'll reach Konoha in a couple of hours"

"No. Tsukiko didn't come with us because she felt she wasn't strong enough. I won't be a dead-weight either" she said without a hint of emotion but you could easily spot the determination on her eyes. The determination to find her big sister.

*With the slave-teacher*

A girl with about a million angry marks on her forehead was scrubbing furiously at a giant tub as ordered by her master. She lathered some more soap and resumed the scrubbing as she cursed for about a hundredth time that morning "Why does this fucking tub have to be this damn huge!" than as if to humor her, her stomach answered for her as it made a loud grumble indicating that she didn't have breakfast.

She growled out loud enough for her master to hear "And what's up with no having breakfast! I demand to have all three meals a day! It's part of the human rights!"

"Slaves don't have rights. Now shut that smart mouth of yours or you won't have lunch either" her master's muffled voice came from the other room.

She growled low but said nothing more since she knew he had her beat there. Than in a great show of shinobi grace she stumbled on the slippery soap still on the tub and glided down the tub and fell flat on her bum "Damn it all to heeeeeeeeell!"

Her master peered through the door "I told you to clean the tub not take a bath in it yourself, jackass. Now hurry up some uchiha slave will be coming over today for you to teach. So you better not put shame to my infamous name at least no more than you usually do on a regular basis!"

"SHANNARO!"

*With Mikoto*

Mikoto was working alone on the guestroom again for Hinata. Her husband didn't approve on Hitomi and Itachi sleeping in different rooms because after all she was a slave. She grumbled to herself and quoting her ex's I mean husband's words "What's a slave good for if not in bed? He said. We Uchihas don't do charity if she's a slave than she'll have to act like one, he said. I forbid them to sleep in different rooms, he said. That idiotic husband of mine"

Since overly-stubborn Fugaku didn't agree with this there was no way in hell he was going to help even if it meant leaving his wife to do it all on her own. So here she was stuck doing all the heavy work and pushing an overly-heavy wardrobe to cover the giant hole her sons made so the room would be a bit more private.

She wiped her off her brow and growled out "That jerk of a husband of mine is going to pay for leaving me to do this all on my own!"

*With Itachi and Hinata*

Hinata was pissed off and it's definitely a rare phenomenon to see the nice and kind Hinata angry at anyone.

Itachi sighed and shrugged it off as if it were nothing "You'll get used to it with time"

'Before or after I kill myself?' she thought in shock thinking he was inhuman for being able to put up with these annoying fangirls currently following them.

"I-I …I c-could get r-rid of them for you" she offered with her signature stuttering because she wasn't completely sure if it was her place as a slave to say such things. Sure her master was kind to her and she'd like to keep it that way but she wanted to help him no matter the cost.

"That'll never work, Hitomi. I'm not underestimating you as a shinobi but they're really stubborn. Father, mother, Sasuke. Even I've tried but nothing not even torture works" he said seriously "They're beyond the laws of human nature"

She sighed and this time spoke a bit more easily seeing that her master didn't seem offended "W-Which do you prefer? Losing the fangirls but damage your name a little bit or remain the way you are?"

He gave her a questioning look gently asking her to elaborate.

"I have a plan that would get rid of them but it will damage your reputation so what do you prefer?" she said determinedly and not beating around the bush knowing that'll only make things worse.

"I think you know the answer for that" he smirked letting his enslaved angel have a shot at them so he could test her abilities that way whilst wondering what she's got up her sleeve.

*With Neji and Hanabi*

Neji and Hanabi had made it to konoha in a few hours just like Neji had said they would and easily infiltrated the leaf village and no they didn't sneak in through a top-secret, cool passageway or with flashy techniques. It was a pretty simple strategy actually because anything too big would alert their presence. They simply snuck in through the front gate with an alias and a 'cover story'. Before they got to Konoha they made a quick stop to a small village near Konoha to buy some contacts for their eyes and their 'cover story'.

"Get ten already sharpened kunais for only 3836 yen" (A/N it may sound like much but it's only 41.80 dollars)

They had a LOT of shinobi at their stand since kunais usually were much more expensive and generally you'll have to continue sharpening them yourself if you want them to cut anything else besides paper because usually the civilians that made the kunais only sharpened them to their standard not shinobi standard so once you buy them you'll have to keep sharpening them for hours non-stop. So this was more than a fair bargain.

"Neji it's your turn to lose your voice …I mean yell the prices" Hanabi's shoulders slumped forward in exhaustion.

Neji started yelling the prices whilst at the same time twitching his right eye lid in anger at having to do something as preposterous as this than he saw a snobby looking girl near him inspecting the kunais for flaws and even though she couldn't find any she still continued frowning.

He went over to her and after a little flirting whilst at the same time ignoring her and helping the other customers. She immediately fell head over heels for him like all the rest of the female population and bought an entire set of kunais, shurikens and other weaponry leaving her broke for a year or two.

Her friend eyed her like she was crazy "Why did you buy all those weapons when you're not even a shinobi?"

She said with a sloppy smile like she was in a daze "I just had a feeling destiny will be smiling down upon me" she looked towards Neji and waved but he didn't even spare her a glance making her feel like crying.

"Do you even know the meaning of destiny?" her friend asked feeling more out of the loop but all she received was a hopeless shrug so she continued "Yeah neither do I"

"He just stole all my friggin money and he didn't even return my love!" she yelled in the middle of the streets making everyone snicker.

Her friend agreed "Yupp he definitely sucked you dry" than she continued pushing her towards a less crowded area so she could rant without making a fool of herself any more than she already done.

The day quickly changed to night and the hyuugas are seen packing up their stand and heading towards the house they rented earlier that day.

"Of all the cover stories couldn't you pick something better than us actually having to work and sell weapons! I can't even feel my throat anymore after all that yelling!" Hanabi yelled at her cousin who seemed like he didn't mind in the slightest which only infuriated her even more.

"Konoha isn't a little village we can easily infiltrate and we've only managed to get this far because we're originally from the fire country. The only way we could have infiltrated without arising suspicions was to disguise ourselves as merchants and there is no way I'm going to sell silks, robes, dolls or anything of the sorts" when he saw his tomboyish cousin flinching at the thought of selling 'girly things' he smirked "Glad to see we're on the same page"

"Still…" Hanabi persisted unwilling to give up her cause just yet.

"This is only for until we locate Hinata and get her out of here. For now we just have to play along because there's no way we can defeat an entire shinobi village on our own. We're at their mercy right now" he advised "Which is why I didn't want to bring you along"

"That's exactly why I'm here because we are in a shinobi village and in case you forgotten I am a shinobi even if it's not official yet" she said determinedly.

"It'll never be official because your father will never allow it" Neji reprimanded his over-confident cousin "and you're only genin level" he finished shoving her pride in her face.

*With Hinata*

Right now Hinata was in her 'teacher's' room but no matter how much she tried she still couldn't tear her eyes of off the pink hair in front of her.

Sakura sighed immediately noticing that she was looking at the patch in her hair which didn't have hair. It was completely bare "I got a lollipop stuck in my hair and my master thought it wise to cut the lollipop off along with most of my hair. He's terrible when it comes to styling hair. I'm just glad he didn't shave my entire head bald but even though it's only a little spot that's bald I still look ridiculous"

"It's not that bad" Hinata tried to reassure her pink haired friend without even a hint of her trademark stutter showing how much she meant her words.

"Thanks Hitomi. I just wish everybody else thinks like you" than Sakura smirked "Now on to the topic which is why you're here. I don't want my master to eat my head off for not giving you good tips to use on your master"

Easily catching Hinata's blush she immediately deducted that she was new to being a slave so she tried to start with the easy stuff first "Now lets see first…"

*With Tsukiko*

Tsukiko lathered the floor with more soap and continued rubbing furiously trying to make it shine so much that she would be able to see her own reflection on the floor.

"You're over-working, Tsukiko. You should take a rest" the head cook Saiki stated instead of asking as she stood on a spot that hasn't been washed yet.

"I can't I need to continue. This isn't for work this is punishment for my treason. I need to work my hardest so I won't enrage Lord Hyuuga anymore than I already have" Tsukiko informed methodically to the elderly woman in front of her.

The elderly woman laughed outright at that making the wrinkles on her face stand out more "Nonsense child. You keep forgetting I practically raised Hiashi" she said remorselessly without even thinking twice before saying her lord's name "And if he was really mad at you he wouldn't have added more cleaning duties to your already never-ending list. You already are a servant after all this should be a piece of cake. If he was truly punishing you, you would be dead since that's the only punishment for traitors"

"That thought occurred to me but I immediately brushed it off" Tsukiko replied bewildered, still not completely sure about her lord.

The elderly woman smiled grimly at this but this time the smile didn't reach her eyes "Yes everybody is fooled by his emotionless attitude but like everyone else he is human" her eyes twinkled as she continued "Besides I'm starting to think there's more to all this than meets the eye. So far the only thing I'm sure of is the betrothal but who knows how the youngsters are doing"

"Betrothal? What betrothal?" Tsukiko nearly screamed whilst her eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets whilst trying to convince herself that Saiki didn't hit herself on the head or had something that didn't work quite right up there.

"Between little Hinata and Fugaku's eldest of course" she frowned "He might be going about it the wrong way but it's still a betrothal. Sort of. Honestly I thought I raised that child Hiashi better than this! How many times do I have to tell him training and betrothals don't mix well!" the old woman reprimanded as if she was talking about a little child trying to disobey his elders and eat that little extra chocolate.

"Training? Betrothal?"

Saiki sighed exasperated "You'll understand once you see our Hinata again in a few months. I just hope that uchiha is going easy on poor Hinata. Oh well I'll find out tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?"

"Hiashi will be going to Konoha to discuss some tariff votes with the head of the Uchiha clan and there's no way he'll go there without his trusty head cook" she winked easily implying that he didn't honestly need a cook seeing as the uchiha clan is as rich as they are so they surely have good food "He didn't ask but I think he's expecting me to talk to Hinata and give her some parental advice seeing as he's no good at that field. We're going to be coincidentally visiting there where there just happens to be his daughter" by now her throat was dripping with sarcasm "Maybe I'll even get to say hello to Neji and Hanabi too while I'm there"

"Does Uchiha-sama know this?"

Saiki only smiled knowingly at this.

"Wait Neji and Hanabi? Is he going to hunt them down? Will they be punished?" Tsukiko asked worriedly like an over-protective mother.

Saiki rolled her eyes "Far from it. We're going to pretend they aren't even there and let them carry on with their plans freely" she smirked "Hiashi is going to have to be one hell of an actor to be able to pretend he doesn't recognize his own daughters and nephew"

*With Hinata*

By now Hinata's face was so red you couldn't see a hint of her usual porcelain skin and by each word her instructor Sakura was saying prodded the little slave further into unconsciousness. The only thing that kept her still conscious was sheer will power.

Hinata thought miserably 'I must be improving if only a little. Normally I would have fainted hours ago after hearing the slightest hint from what Sakura is saying but I've managed to stay conscious and actually listen to her. After what I've just heard I should be somewhere along the lines in a coma not awake…ahh' her thoughts went to an abrupt halt when she caught wind of what was just said making her involuntarily picture an indecent Itachi in a very suggestive pose.

"Any questions Hitomi?" Sakura smiled in sympathy at the girl that looked like she wanted to be killed on the spot, burn her remains and let her ashes be blown by the wind so there definitely won't be any traces of her existence left behind.

"Umm…I…I…d…don't!...h..ave to do…t…this?" Hinata tried to say but ended up asking.

Sakura laughed and said this like it was the most obvious thing in the world "Of course why else would I have been told to teach you in the first place"

Hinata's stuttering nearly left her when it came to defending Itachi "B…but my master's kind…I'm sure he wouldn't …f…force me to-" but she was cut off.

Sakura looked at her weirdly as if she lost her mind "Sure he would. Why else would he have asked for a slave?"

"Asked?"

"Well yeah it's not like they pass off slaves through the mail box because they feel like it like when they advertise. They ask for slaves, buy them and get one. Simple logic really" Sakura pointed it out as if she was pointing it out to an idiot "He's probably trying to trick you with his kindness. Some slave-masters do that"

Involuntarily Hinata started trembling in fear at the advise she was given by her new friend. Just as she felt she couldn't take the evil Itachi images coursing through her head anymore and nearly gave in to faith and topple over the real Itachi barged through the door. She nearly screamed in horror but managed to hold herself together but just barely.

Sakura misunderstood Itachi's hurriedness "Geez you're this anxious to see what your slave learned" she rolled her eyes in disgust "And I thought my master was a pervert"

Hinata wanted to die just than and there when she heard that and refused to look at her master. Meanwhile right now Itachi felt like killing the pink haired bitch for misunderstanding his actions and scaring his poor enslaved angel even more.

Itachi tried his best to hide his irritation and managed to grit out calmly "Sorry for barging in after only thirty minutes but I just remembered Hitomi's medical appointment with Lady Tsunade" he hinted hoping Hinata would catch on, agree with him and leave this nightmare behind but with what Hinata had heard right now she couldn't think reasonably so she just nodded like a obedient little slave without even knowing what she was nodding to.

After they got out of the house Itachi noticed his slave's confused expression and noted that no matter how curious she was she still wouldn't dare ask him. He immediately figured that she was still scared of him by what she heard "What is it Hitomi?"

"Umm…I…d..don't have a medical appointment" she added for good measure "Master"

Itachi winced at the 'master' but quickly hid it before she could notice "You have one now and I told you" he tried to make himself seem approachable and dare he say it. Kind "You can call me Itachi"

"Thank you" she was feeling more comfortable around him and she even went so far as to smile gratefully up at him but just in case she decided to keep her friend Sakura's warning and still won't trust him completely "But Sakura-chan works with Tsunade-sama so I'm sure she'll find out it was a lie"

"You'd be surprised what the Hokage will do for a few bottles of sake. Even go so far as to fake an illness" Itachi shrugged unrepentantly as if it didn't bother him in the slightest but deep down he was glad he got her out of there and that now she seemed less tense around him than she was when he came to pick her up.

*In the Uchiha mansion*

Itachi and Hinata had just got into the house when Mikoto ran over to them with a proud smile on her face. She looked almost like she wanted to pat herself on the back but that would just be weird.

"Hitomi I finished your room for you. I wouldn't say it's perfect but hey nothing is perfect" she whispered to Hitomi "Not even my sons but I don't want to embarrass my big boy"

Hinata blushed shyly but than she thanked her. She was glad that tonight she'll be sleeping in her own room. It wasn't that she hated being in the same room and bed with Itachi or anything in fact she liked being in his presence but after what she had heard today she didn't think she could be able to face her Master especially in his bed with barely any clothes on so she happily skipped off upstairs to her room leaving Mikoto and Itachi downstairs.

Mikoto noticed the frown that was placed on her usually stoic son's face and when she saw that Hinata was out of earshot she smirked and remorselessly pointed out "Miss her already?" and with that she went to follow Hinata to her room to help her settle in whilst ignoring the death glare her son was aiming at her retreating back.

It was night time. Some time around midnight and everyone was sleeping soundlessly in their rooms even Hinata. Well not everyone. Fugaku unfortunately instead of sleeping in a warm bed with his wife he was sleeping on the dumpster that was at the back of his house. He knew that if he slept on the doorsteps his buddies will start teasing him about getting kicked out of his own house. Again. So to avoid that grief he decided to sleep on the dumpster that was at the back of the house where no one could spot him and be humiliated any further.

This time Mikoto's reason for kicking him out was because she was so angry with him for not helping her arrange Hinata's room and speaking poorly of her that she kicked him out of his own house because he wouldn't give in but Fugaku was stubborn and if he wanted something he always gets it and right now he didn't want that slave to sleep in the guest room. With that thought in mind he activated his sharingan eyes and aimed them at Sasuke's bedroom window, watching him intently while casting the genjutsu that he knew his youngest wasn't strong enough to remove by himself.

*With Sasuke*

Sasuke woke up in the depth of night irritated that he had to wake whilst in the midst of a good dream just so he could go to the bathroom.

Without even opening his eyes his sleep-deprived legs walked him out of his room to search blindly for the nearest door where he could satisfy his needs. Only the nearest door wasn't the bathroom. It was Hinata's room. Without even noticing what he was doing like a zombie he just followed his mind's orders and opened the stupid door.

*With Hinata*

Hinat awoke to a swooshing sound. She opened her eyes groggily and with her vision still a bit blurrily she looked towards her window wondering if it was raining but the weather seemed normal enough.

Just as she was about to fall asleep again she noticed a figure of someone in her room but since it was dark she couldn't make out who it was.

She quickly cast a genjutsu over her pale lilac eyes to make them look black since there wasn't enough time for her to put the contacts back on. She hoped that whoever that was in her room didn't notice.

"E-excuse me?" she questioned with a little stutter trying to find out who's in her room so late at night. She shyly clutched her blanket higher up her small body so that now the only thing that can be seen were her eyes because the blanket now even covered the lower half of her face.

When she got no response she got worried but than some moonlight made its way on her intruder giving her a good view of him and what was causing the 'rain'.

"AAAAAGHHHH!" Hinata screamed in fear at seeing Sasuke naked in her room and pissing on her floor.

That scream was enough to wake up Sasuke out of his stupor and alert everyone currently residing within the mansion.

Sasuke glared at the annoying girl currently trying to hold back her screams and bury her head in her pillow with a face that was currently changing colors every mille second whilst wondering how he even ended up there in the first place. He remembered going to sleep and than by some miracle he fond himself in his brother's slave's room. Than he noticed she was making hand motions towards him and his eyes moved with her hands downwards until his eyes finally landed on what the annoying slave was screaming in the middle of the night for.

Sasuke nearly eeped in surprise but an uchiha doesn't eep so he settled to looking like a confused monkey as he zipped up his trousers in a swift motion.

Itachi having heard Hinata's scream earlier kicked her door open with his sharingan activated, looking like he was preparing to fight a thousand missing-nins and in truth he was. Mikoto not too long behind him ran through the door that was prided off its hinges a second ago by her son. She had a lampshade in hand ready to smash the heads of the attackers who where harming her future daughter in law I mean son's slave.

Itachi scanned the situation and was relieved that there weren't any enemies and that his slave was left unharmed. He took a closer look at her and soon concluded 'physically unharmed' seeing as she looked like she wanted to fade to oblivion.

Itachi turned towards his little brother who still looked confused as hell which definitely was a rare sight for any of the uchiha brothers seeing as both geniuses seemed to know everything.

"What happened?" Itachi inquired his little brother while motioning to the floor, Hinata and him.

Sasuke opened his mouth to answer but after a few seconds gaping he closed it back up making himself seem like a fish out of water but than after he took a closer look at Itachi's once-in-a-lifetime expression and he felt like he owed him an explanation "I was in my room than I went to the bathroom and than I woke up here. It's the truth"

"The bathroom is the opposite way. Maybe I should get you a GPS or a map of your own house so next time you won't get lost, foolish little brother" Itachi said sarcastically making Sasuke twitch his right eye in suppressed anger.

Mikoto on the other hand wasn't as kind "Well students are supposed to follow in their teachers footsteps" she said with a smile on her face as she walked over to Hinata "Guess that's what you get when you get Kakashi for a teacher"

Sasuke glared hatefully at his mother. Now he was truly pissed off after being indirectly called a pervert just so she could get a laugh out at his expense seeing as both her and Itachi already realized that Sasuke was under a genjutsu even though he didn't say it out loud.

Mikoto suggested "Say Hitomi how about you sleep in Itachi's room tonight?"

Hinata nodded gratefully.

As Itachi was leaving to his room with Hinata Sasuke stopped him "Tomorrow teach me how to dispel the strong genjutsus"

"Don't worry. I was already planning on training you till you drop"

As they both returned to their room they quckly went to bed to sleep seeing as it was really late and they were both really tired after that long day.

"Sorry for waking you Mast-I mean Itachi" Hinata apologized.

"There's nothing to apologize for I'm just glad you're ok. Now get some sleep Hitomi" Itachi said and afterwards he kissed her forehead unintentionally but instead of making Hinata flinch and move away it made her move closer and rap her arms around his chest in a small, innocent hug.

*With Mikoto*

When she made it to her room as an after thought she went back out and down o the kitchen, grabbed the biggest garbage bag and marched upstairs with it clutched in both her fists.

Mikoto opened the window which under it was Fugaku sleeping peacefully on he dumpster with a content smile on his face. She smiled mercilessly as she dropped the garbage bag on his head making said man curse a few choice words which aren't fit for anyone to hear.
