[fic update] Muma (8/?)
Sep. 11th, 2008 02:00 pm Muma VII: Put On Your Red Shoes and Flee
She went to bed and slept for a few hours, then woke and went at it again, tapping and tugging on her tenketsu as if they were stubborn children. Tiny fires sprouted under her skin but her gates remained firmly closed, without even the tiniest chink to encourage her.
In the morning, her hands were covered with red spots.
Feeling sick, she went to the bathroom and lifted her robes; in the dim light, the blotches on her thighs and stomach were hard to make out clearly but quite obviously there. She dropped her skirts and felt all over her face; to her relief, the tender soreness that came with the spots was nowhere to be found. Hinata looked down at her hands again and counted, one, two, ten, thirty: the folds of the kimono would conceal her body but her hands wouldn't be so easily hidden. The dwarf would notice as soon as he came with her lunch, notice and tell Kabuto, who would examine her and realize--
"I-I guess...I'll just h-have to think of s-something," she said and wished, not for the first time, that she was Shikamaru.
Hinata tries to escape.
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Hinata Hyuuga & Kabuto Yakushi
Summary: When you possess a rare bloodline limit, it's usually best not to fall into the hands of a mad medical genius and his equally deranged master. Pity that Hinata doesn't have a choice in the matter. A sideways kind of Kabuhina. Spoilers for the second half of Naruto.
Note: Back from the dead after a year, baby! WOOOOOOOOOO.
