Inner Demons
A/N: This is my first story, which I've rewritten and added more too. Hinata Centric with thoughts of future pairings (if any)
flying through my mind. If you have any suggestions please tell me. Nothing is too outrageous and I wouldn't mind anything
you can think of. Zetsu, Tobi,Naruto, Neji. Sky's the limit. :)
Disclaimer: I do NOTown Naruto or any of it's characters or ideas. I don't own anything but my own ideas.
On with the fic ;)

"There are things you should know."
"The distance between us seems to grow."
"But your holding on strong."
"Oh how hard it is to let go."
"Oh so hard to let go."
"I'm waiting for your call."
"And I'm ready to take your six six six in my heart."
"I'm longing for your touch."
"And I welcome your sweet six six six in my heart."
"I'm losing my faith in you."
"You don't want it to be true."
"There is nothing you can do."
"Yes I've lost my faith in you."

Chapter One - Soft Steps in a Faux Reality
Soft steps would be heard through out the cold hallway only by those with a keen sense of hearing, only by those who had
recognized her as a human being.
'I feel like a ghost, as if no one knows I exist.'
No one heard those soft steps as they approached that ever familiar door.
'Behind this door is nothing but pain.'
A pain she knew all to well. Nothing but hatred and disappointment would ever be found behind this door. No love, no warmth,
no appreciation. Just loneliness and sorrow. Bringing up her hand hesitantly she knocked and was only met with a silence that
seemed to last for many painful hours.
"What are you waiting for? Come in!"
She stepped back, it was almost as if she had been burned by acid and it was eating away at everything she was. She could
see her skin dripping off her bones into dark puddles on the wooden floor. She could feel her soul being eaten alive and she
shivered at the pain.
'Why don't you love me?'
Opening the door her white eyes were met by nothing but the darkest flames. It was almost as if they were burning everything
but nothing was being destroyed. Reaching up she tried to wipe the sweat from her face, but it wasn't there. All that was there
was bone touching bone.
'When will you acknowledge me as more than a useless soul?'
She stepped in slowly as the flames ate away at her. Sitting behind a desk engulfed with the flames of his contempt was a
demon, a persecutor, the man who ate away at her soul with just his words. His look alone made her want to tare away at her
eyes. Her heart began to ache and blood crept it's way through her body threatening to escape from her mouth. She swallowed
the metallic substance back down and felt so faint.
'I'm so weak. I wanted so badly to show you my worth! To make you love me...'
The Chuunin exams had been her chance to show her father that she was strong. She wanted so badly to show him she was
worthy to be his daughter. She also had wanted to show her cousin...no, everyone that one was not bound by fate to be one way
or another. She had failed.
=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-
*flashback*
She had been defeated by Neji and lay on the floor. In the distance she could hear him yelling about her receiving special treatment.
She waited for the final blow to be dealt so that the floor below her would open up and swallow her whole. She wanted so badly
to leave the world she was living in, to be done with it all. Suddenly she was surrounded by darkness and she knew she had lost
her fight and when she woke again she would be feasted upon by him. She was his failure, his meal to tare away at for every
disappointment she sent his way!
*end flash back*
=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-
"Why was I burdened with you while my brother produced a powerful offspring?" It was a rhetorical question, something he had
asked himself often to no one but himself. He could never understand. He would never accept her as a gift from heaven.
'Useless!'
"You were in the hospital a long time after your defeat at the chuunin exams. We had all hoped you would die there. I personally
wished you would have suffocated on your own blood so that I would have had the pleasure to name your younger sister as heir.
Pity that nothing ever works out the way it should."
His every breath froze her limbs. She could not move, her fingers froze and fell off her hands, her legs crumbled into a heap on
the floor and her heart ached. She broke and waited for the wind to carry her useless body away spec by insignificant spec.
'Have you called me here only so that you could tell me how much you hate me?'
Only in her mind could she find the courage to speak. She wanted so desperately to tell him how she felt, but her lips were
missing and left her with no way to share her thoughts.
"You have one more time to fail me daughter. If you make one more mistake I shall kill you myself and make sure that no
one knows of it. I shall cleanse this world of it's hugest mistake."
'His mistake.'
A substance poured from where her eyes should be. What was it?
"Leave me now, I have no more time to waste on you."
Before the last word could be uttered from his mouth she turned and felt her body fly through the house until it found it's way to
her room. The door was closed behind her by the wind and
she threw her self onto the bed.
'Why can't I escape this pain. I want it to end!'
'So then end it. End it all!' A voice filled her head, a voice that didn't belong to her, it was Masculine and cut at her like a rusty knife.
"I... Who are you? " She asked the question out loud as her eyes searched the room frantically. She was terrified. She could feel
this man watching her, ripping her chest open and entering her heart!
'I am the only one who loves you. The one who will help you escape the pain. I have been with you always, even before you
realized it and I will never leave you.'
There was a short pause and she felt her self inhale as much air as her lungs could hold.
'As long as you do what I say of course and promise to in turn never leave my side.'
'Exhale...Inhale...BREATH!'
It was almost as if she had forgotten how to function and the pain in her heart throbbed more until it exploded. Her heart
burst and blood rushed up through her throat and out of her mouth this time. There was no holding it back.
Grabbing at her mouth while she wheezed she began to look around the room in a frantic motion.
"W-who are y-you?... Where are you!"
A loud explosion could be heard coming from where her door was and she moved to the edge of her bed searching for the cause.
Her eyes were met with nothing but destruction. Chunks of door and the surrounding wall flew around like shrapnel. Was no one
else hearing this? Was no one else seeing this, did no one care?
'Behind you.' It was the same voice as before, closer this time yet so far away.
She turned around hesitantly, blood drenched hands gripping her jacket. Her eyes met with a chest covered in bloody
bandages and trailed up to a neck, then a face. White eyes locked on to black and red eyes and she was sent crashing to the
ground.
'My bones are snapping!'
And they were indeed snapping, she was being crushed alive by the weight of his gaze. Her left eye was enchanted by his right
eye, pure darkness the same color as his black sclera. Her right eye connected with his left and saw the same black sclera but
behind a floating red orb.
'Demon!'
Its face turned to the side as if to study her.
'Is that what you call the only being who loves you? Have you your self not been judged your whole life?'
'Can he hear my thoughts when no one else can even hear my voice?' she wondered.
It... No, he stared at her as no one before him had. Was it in amazement?
'I suppose it would be rude of me to put off your question any longer all though I am not sure if you are deserving.' He
paused once again calculating her worth.
'Mundoo'
"M-mmmundoo?" The name tasted like something bitter and foreign in her mouth.
She stared at him and began absorbing his body into her mind. He stared down at her and she noted that his skin was of a
color she never seen before, it was almost as if
he were dead, it held no life. His black hair was long and cascaded down his back and over his shoulders. Besides the velvet
colored bandages that adorned his muscular upper body and neck he wore nothing else but black.'
How can someone one so terrifying be so handsome at the same time?'
He frowned and suddenly rose from the bed, towering over her shaking form. Crouching down above her he took his hands and
ripped her chest wide open. She began to shake and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She stared at the back of her skull,
frightened as demons began to claw at her eyes.
It appeared as if she could see in both directions and she watched him as he moved his head into her chest, peering inside.
Then in the blink of an eye he had entered her body in the form of a dark wisp of air causing her to release a silent scream.
She screamed loudly into the air but no sound escaped her lips. Quickly she brought her hands up to where her chest had been.
She felt the fabric of her jacket and tore it open searching for the gaping hole, but to no avail. It was completely healed. Healed
almost as if the man had never been there, as if no one had entered her body. Looking around it was as if no one had even
been in her room. Had she always been alone?
The light of her room began to fade away and she was cast into darkness, the sound of his voice came back full force and
circled around her before fading out rapidly. Suddenly she could hear no more, everything slipped away.
'I am your creation. I am your hatred, sorrow, your pain ,and your only love. From here on out Hinata, I will help you rid the
world of those who are undeserving of your presence. Together we will cover
this world in darkness until you are the only light.'

A/N: Okay! So that was the first chapter to my first fanfic and I hope you all have liked it. Please review and tell me what you
think and things you'd like to see. Constructive criticism is welcome. As of September 9th 2011 I have cut this chapter in half
and will now be splitting up the chapters as I actually wrote them. They were never intended to be all one long chapter but do
to the lack of reviews I recieved during the period of time I first published this story I decided to fuse chapters together. So
basicly I'm now undoing that and their will be more chapters.
=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-=+-
Please Review and take care!~ ^,^
