A Demon's Cry

Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me…if it did , the cover of the chapters would say By: (insert my real name here that I will NOT tell you…but some of you might know)

I got the idea for this story from my friend, Jake. I liked it…so now I'm writing about it! I hope you will enjoy this too.

This story takes place BEFORE the time skip (If you don't know what that is…forget it)

WARNING: In later chapters there might be character deaths, it's likely but I'm not too certain yet.

Paring: Naruto/Hinata

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Naruto wandered aimlessly around the streets of Konoha, his home. He looked at the shops and wished he had some money to buy something. Naruto heard his stomach growl. He groaned and ran to Ichiraku's so he could eat some ramen.

"Hey, old man," Naruto called as he ran in to the store "do you mind giving me a free bowl of ramen?"

"Yes, Naruto, I do mind." He replied "This is the fifth time this week you have asked me for a bowl."

Naruto sighed, "Whatever…see ya." He turned around when he came face-to-face with the Hyuga heiress, Hyuga Hinata, the shy girl that always stuttered and blushed when she saw him. He looked at her, staring into her pale eyes. Both of them had become closer since the Chuunin Exams and her fight with Neji. Naruto smiled at her.

"Hey, Hinata! What's up?" he said happily.

Hinata looked at her feet as she blushed.

'What's wrong with her?' Naruto wondered 'She's always like this around me.'

Hinata fidgeted and looked up again at Naruto. "Do-do you want me to-to buy you some ramen, Na-Naruto-kun?"

"Hmmm? Oh that would be great, Hinata, thanks!" replied Naruto.

Hinata nodded and stepped into the store, brushing lightly against Naruto. He smelled a slight scent of lavender and he smiled.

They went into the store and sat down. The old man looked up at them.

"Yes?"

"Um, two bowls of-of ramen please," answered Hinata "Wh-what flavor do you want, Naruto-kun?"

"I want barbequed pork!" Naruto said with a smile on his face.

"Two please." Hinata said.

The old man nodded and turned around to prepare their order.

Naruto looked at Hinata and gave her one of his foxy grins. "Thanks a lot, Hinata! I'm really hungry!"

She gave him a shy smile "Of course Na-naruto-kun."

'….anything for you...' she thought to herself

When their meals arrived Naruto happily shouted "Itadakimasu!" and slurped down his ramen with enthusiasm. Hinata giggled and ate her own ramen.

"So, Hinata," said Naruto "how is your training going?"

Hinata told him about a new move that she was trying to develop and how helpful Kiba and Shino were being.

"I can help you too if you want." suggested Naruto.

"Th-that would be…be great, Naruto-kun." Hinata replied. She was filled with joy at the thought of it.

Tsunade, the fifth Hokage, was sitting at her desk having an important discussion with Kakashi and Jiraya.

"So," said Tsunade, "Naruto's seal is becoming weaker?"
Jiraya nodded "Yes, and if we are not careful, the Kyuubi could break free and destroy the entire village."

"I see…" said Tsunade grimly "In that case, Kakashi you will have to keep a close eye on Naruto. Make sure nothing goes wrong. And if we notice any signs of the Kyuubi…." Tsunade's face became dark "...we might have to take further action."

There was an air of uncertainty in the room. Everyone knew if the Kyuubi were to be unleashed…the village would be completely destroyed.

Kakashi looked up at Tsunade "Hai, I understand. I will make sure Naruto is always watched, either under my eye, Jiraya-sama's, or another Jounin."

"Good. That is all" replied Tsunade

As Jiraya and Kakashi turned to leave, Tsunade added something else.

"Also….make sure Naruto knows nothing about this….."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Hai-Yes

Since this was the opening chapter, it might have been boring to some of you. Still, I am positive the story is going to be more exciting later on. Also, if you want me to write a story about a certain topic just tell me and I'll see what I can do! Bye! Review please!
