Welcome to what lies beneath! Though I caution you, this is not for the weak heart. This is rated M for the various 'adult-like' situation. Censored/Mild Lemon(s), Break-Ups, Family trials, Etc.. Etc.. I do not own naruto, but I guess the fuzzy socks will suffice. So w/o further ado, What lies beneath.


Hinata was running as fast as she could un-aware of what lies ahead of her, her byukugan had been disabled by an unidentifiable violet drug injected via needle into her lower back. Though the drug had been administered over an hour ago her byukugan had yet to return. Even while she focused her chakra, her byukugan did nothing, every time she attempted to engage her kekkei genkai; she only felt crippling pain that slowed her down.

Who or whatever was following her was no longer making noise, if her byukugan was functioning properly, she would have checked her surroundings. As she approached the edge of the forest, she realized she was near the outskirts of Konoha, The Hidden Village in the Leaves, home.

Her eyes began to water; she quickly closed her eyes fighting off the pain she felt in her lags as she began to slow down. The village looked as peaceful as always, large beautiful trees that surrounded the oversized village. The 26 year old woman smiled as she reached the village's south gate.

Frantically, she did not continue to slow down, she actually sped up, running past the guard shinobi guarding the city's entrance. She began to make a beeline straight to the Hokage's office. Naruto, her husband of 3 years, there was no one in the world she wanted to see more. She choked back the tears she had been allowing to creep back to the surface of her eyes.

Ignoring all other conversation she heard calling her name, she blocked it all out. She was so close, but then so far away. She had to tell him, no one else. "Naruto" she thought. Finally reaching the door to the man of her life, she stopped her thoughts had finally caught her and slammed into her skull in the most painful of ways, a headache.

She began to shake her head to prolong the on-coming pain she knew she would eventually feel shake her brain. Without any other words to force their way into her thoughts her barged into the door, startling Naruto who sat peacefully at his Hokage desk. Suddenly she remember the most surreal detail of her nightmare mission. Seeing his face must have triggered it!

Time seemed to have slowed down to a slow pull as her memory began to sort out the details of the past 4 hours of her life. It was so hazy, and out of order she couldn't seem to understand it all is came all as one large 'glob' of information.

(flash-back)

Hinata tried her hardest to break-free from the shackles that held her up against the wall. The shackles were too tight, her beautiful midnight blue hair damp with sweat clinging to her shoulders, and her breath-takingly amazing milky-cream colored eye were beginning to grow red with from the irritation from her endless crying. She sat nearly naked chained to a wall, they violated her body, not by sex though, but with the use of injections, pills, and creams the burn as they made contact with her flesh

(end-flash back)

Naruto stood seeing the condition she was in, her clothes were torn, and her face was cut, her skin shinning with a thick coat of sweat. "Hinata!" Naruto cried to her; swiftly making her way across the room in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Naruto move so quickly to embrace her, Hinata cringed. As Naruto began to instantly speak.

"Hinata, what happened? Where is your team? Why are you covered in sweat?" Naruto questioned quickly each question seemed to be beating its way into Hinata's heart. She couldn't speak- she didn't know where to begin, more images flashed into her skull moving a mile a minute. She could properly formulate a sentence. She felt mute. She felt helpless. She felt like a youthful child, shy of anything that was not her mother.

Naruto cupped her face in an attempt to bring her back out of her thoughts. "Hinata baby, please speak to me!" Naruto said his worry was clear and apparent.

"Dead." The only words that left Hinata's mouth in the office, "Dead." She repeated. It echoed in her mind like a word screamed from a mountain's peak.

"You heard me Naruto" she repeated dimly, "They're gone."
