Chapter 1

Hinata slowly opened her eyes as a small stream of sunlight poured in from a window in the room. Her head was still throbbing and her muscles ached, as though her limbs had been pulled in every direction. As she slowly roused from her sleep, the memories of the day before slowly came back to her. She remembered seeing Naruto, then promptly fainting right after. Soon after waking up, she was kidnapped…

Suddenly, she shot out of the bed and took a quick look around. She noticed that it was not her room, nor was it any room she recognized at all. The window in the room was wide and covered by a light blocking curtain, which had a small gap. The room itself was large, even rivaling her father's room, having a glass table, a neat bookshelf, a minibar and even a television. Next to her, she found a stock of shocking yellow hair.

Hinata froze as she realized that it was her long time crush. Next to her! On the same bed!

'Oh my god! N-N-Naruto-kun? N-Naruto-kun is in the same bed as me?' Hinata thought. Her face looked like a tomato, flushed red. Despite the throbbing pain and the anxiety of having been kidnapped, she started to feel dizzy and light-headed.

'N-NO! I mustn't faint, not now. Not here!' she thought and shook the feeling off.

Slowly, she started to back away from the boy and slid out of bed. As she passed by the window, curiosity got the better of her as she took a peak out. What she saw amazed her beyond belief. There were over hundreds of buildings, all metal that littered the place all around. Some of them even reached into the skies, towering above the rest. There were strange vehicles on the ground below as they travel from the different locations. Trees line the streets as a reminder of her village.

"It's different from the village, isn't it?" A male voice suddenly voiced from behind her. Hinata spun around to see a sophisticated black-haired young man about in his twenties, dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants, and his young maid. But even without the headband covering his eyes, she immediately recognized the man as her kidnapper.

As he approached, she slowly backed away from him, her lavender eyes focusing on his movements, waiting for any attack. Then, she found herself where she had started, next to the bed Naruto was still sleeping, oblivious to the tense atmosphere. The young man just smiled as he stood where she had been standing moments ago, and threw open the curtains, bathing the room with light, blinding Hinata for just a moment as her eyes took the time to adjust to the new lighting.

The abrupt flooding of light into the room also had another effect as it roused Naruto from his deep slumber. He shot up from bed and his drowsy eyes just took in blurry images of Hinata and the man, transmitting them to his brain at a very slow pace. It seemed that he did not quite understand the situation he and Hinata were in, as the information from his eyes were not yet processed, and he seemingly smiled before dropping back in bed, snoring very loudly. Hinata seemed to look at him in awe and discontent at the same time, sweat beading at her forehead from her partner's lack of response while she focused her view once more to the man.

Then, as quick as Naruto had dropped back in bed, he again shot back up, this time, his eyes were bright and alert. He threw back the covers and rushed in front of Hinata, in his battle stance. Both Hinata and the man's maid were surprised at his actions, yet the man himself seemed to just chuckle.

"Don't you dare come near Hinata-chan, or else…" Naruto trailed, as he reached back to grab his kunai from his pouch, but then noticed that his weapons were all missing. Even then, Naruto quickly prepared for the enemy's attack. However, the man just shook his head and gave a huge sigh.

"Do not worry. I do not intend to harm you in any way. I shall explain everything to you later once you all have settled in," he said as he walked in the direction of the door.

"I'll have Kazumi here," he gestured to the maid next to him. "To give you back your weapons, just as insurance for you and then bring you to have some tea with me," he finished as he proceeded to walk out of the room. Hinata and Naruto were both stunned. Both wondered why he was so polite and kind to them. Hinata and Naruto stared at each other bewildered, until Kazumi, the man's young and very beautiful maid, interrupted them. Her dark brown hair flowed down her back, ending with a braid. Part of her fringe covered her left eye yet it did nothing to hide her beauty.

"I shall lead you to the living room to join the master. By the way, here are your weapons."

After getting their weapons, Kazumi lead them to a large room which had been behind an equally large door. There, the man was waiting for them in an arm chair. On its left were another two identical chairs to the one he was sitting on, and all three were facing a window covered by a curtain.

"Please sit," he said as he gestured to the chairs beside him, while he himself stood up and walked towards the site where the curtain met at the centre. As both Naruto and Hinata, both equally confused with the man's actions, sat down, the man took a bow at both of them.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Nagi Persona. I shall explain everything to you. But for now," he proudly straightened as he moved just to the side of the centre, just as the curtains pulled away from each other, revealing the great view that Hinata had seen just moments ago. "Welcome to my world, my dear guests. This is Earth. Year 2020."

Hinata was not as surprised as Naruto, for she had seen the view. But Naruto had not, and boy, was he surprised. His eyes were like the size of dinner plates as he gazed upon the sight before him. Nagi just chuckled as he thought: I guess we will have to wait.

~o~

"What!" Naruto screamed.

'And things had been going so well. Actually, I'm surprised at how well they were taking their kidnapping.' Nagi thought. He first explained why he did what he did with the elders and Danzo and about his world. Surprisingly, Naruto and Hinata took it really well, especially after a few debates, mostly from Naruto. Hinata was flushed red from just sitting next to Naruto. The fact that they are in another world was enough to quell most of the debates while the assassination of Danzo and the elders was backed up by showing them proof of the hit ordered on Uchiha massacre by Danzo.

The above outburst was garnered when Nagi told them about the reason why he took them to this world – when he mentioned the accidental contract and about Hinata's secret wishes. About how she wanted to escape the pressure of the clan, especially her father, and the failures she was as a ninja during missions. Even accidental, it was a contract that enabled him to return home, and fulfill Hinata's terms of the contract at the same time. The need to escape.

"No, Hinata's not like that! Hinata –" Naruto began but was cut off by Nagi.

"Naruto, please respect Hinata enough to discuss any matter with her at a later time, alone. This is between you and her. I admit, I had used her to come home, but I was desperate." Tears had started to well up in Nagi's eyes, but were swiftly wiped away. "But Hinata's problems are real. I have seen them while I was waiting for the perfect time. Her struggles. So I believed that this world would be much better. Not just because of a silly contract, but I truly care for her sake. So try and see it from her point of view."

Naruto was silenced as he looked at Hinata and for the first time, tried to understand the timid girl he was stuck in this new world with. Hinata was twiddling her index finders together while trying to process everything that was said so far, and containing the overwhelming embarrassment of having her secrets revealed to Naruto.

"Anyways, for now, since you're stuck here for the moment, you might as well settle in. I'll take care of everything. Kazumi, can you bring them to explore their new surroundings," Nagi said as he gestured to Kazumi.

"Certainly, Nagi-sama," Kazumi replied, while she led Nagi's guests out of the living room.

"Oh, and Kazumi? Please get the changed. They'll stand out if they're dressed like that."

~o~

"Awesome!" Naruto said while he was looking out the window of the limousine they were in. Hinata sat beside Naruto, still blushing furiously from the distance between them but was far from fainting. She was just plain happy.

Kazumi, who sat in front of them, was explaining the common things they would see in this world. Cars were just one example. The two shinobis were astounded as they heard all the new things they would encounter and the things they (the things) do.

Both too, were changed from their ninja outfits. Naruto was wearing a long sleeved T-shirt that had black splotches from the chest area down and black jeans while Hinata was dressed in a tight-fitting light purple long T-shirt that reached past her waist and a pair of blue jeans. Her hair was also tied up into a pony tail. When Naruto had seen her dressed like that back in the penthouse, his comment was: "Wow! Hinata, you look fabulous!" which had caused Hinata to turn a deep shade of red and struggling to stay conscious. They also left their weapons with their ninja outfits, so as not to stand out.

Soon, the limo slid to a stop and Kazumi ushered them out. It turned out that they were in a shopping district of the town, as they can see many shops trying to attract customers to their store. Kazumi told them to explore the area while she did some shopping for Nagi, which gave them time to be alone for the first time since that morning as the walk along the sidewalk of the district.

"You know, Hinata, I'm sorry about my reaction back then. I didn't understand the problems you were going through and I just jumped to conclusions when he said the terms of the contract. About you. I just didn't want to believe that you would have those," Naruto said as he bowed to Hinata. She just quickly pulled him up while shaking her head, turning into an even deeper shade of red.

"N-No, Naruto-kun. It's just an e-ex-excuse. I was shocked when I discovered I was in this new world, but then I was ecstatic, because I could run away from all the pressure back in our world. I was just too weak to overcome them – "

"You are not weak, Hinata!" Naruto shouted, causing Hinata to stop in mid sentence. "You are one of the smartest, strongest, most beautiful (This comment made Hinata blush even more) kounichi that I have ever met and you can fight it. I know it, believe it!" Naruto soon realized what he said and he too turned slightly red.

"Oh Naruto!" Hinata lost her self-control. She suddenly threw herself on Naruto, hugging him tightly. She was extremely happy that her crush believed in her.

"Oh! How sweet," another voice interrupted their sweet moment. Hinata quickly released Naruto, blushing bright red, while turning around to face a couple of boys, who are dressed like thugs, much like the people back home. She didn't feel quite comfortable with them, and neither did Naruto, who seemed to be angry that they were interrupting their quiet time together.

"Come on! Dump this guy and come with us! We'll show you a good time!" the man with a green tuque, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, said, grabbing Hinata's hand, inciting an "eek!" from the latter. He tightened his grip on Hinata's wrist when she tried to pull away.

Naruto had had enough of the man man-handling his friend. He grabbed him by the shoulders and twisted the man around to face him.

"Get your hands off my precious friend!" he demanded. Hinata could see his eyes turning bright red and his pupils becoming slits. His hands balled up into a fist and with one quick motion, his took a fast swing at the man's face, throwing him backwards into his gang members. Hinata could see something was very wrong with Naruto. Even without her Byakugan, she could see the orangey-red chakra leaking out from her angry crush. Something was definitely wrong.

~o~

Back in the pent-house, Nagi could feel the surge of energy somewhere in the vicinity of the town. The energy was enormous that could go out of control at any time. At that moment, he realized that the source of the energy was coming from only one person.

His hand instinctively reached for his handphone and dialed for Kazumi, who is the only person close enough to know who they are. The others are likely to enter search and destroy. A few rings later, a frantic voice was heard on the other end of the line.

"Nagi-sama! I'm on my way. It's him, right?"

"Yes. Do your best. Try not to hurt him."

"Hai, Nagi-sama"

Then the line went dead. Nagi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Kazumi will be able to handle it. He trusted her with his life, and Kazumi was one of his best, if not best, of his elites. He just hoped she would be in time.

~o~

"Come on, let's get out of here! This guy's a freak!" The leader screamed. The rest of his gang picked him up and dragged him away. Naruto, though, had his red chakra flowing around his body. He felt very strong yet, weird at the same time. He wanted to go after the guy, but then Hinata yelled: "Naruto! NO!"

He turned to her, as she reached out to grab his arm. However, she never got to touch him, as the chakra around him burned her, and she let out a scream of pain. Naruto then realized that he had used the Kyubbi's chakra, and it was surrounding him, effortlessly burning anything near him. He looked at his hands and they were glowing in red chakra. And the chakra was expanding. Furthermore, he could not suppress it.

Hinata's eyes stared at him with worry. She could see him struggling, and she cannot even touch him, let alone hold him, to calm him down. She could not understand how Naruto could get so angry that he would use the the Kyubbi's chakra. He could have gotten angry over the man touching…

The next thought warmed and her heart, and tear it at the same time…

Tears clouded her sight…

Naruto saw Hinata fall down to her knees, noticing tears flowing down her face. He wanted to reach out to her but retract his hands again as he realized he would burn her if the red chakra touched her.

He felt weak. And the lights in his head did not seem to want to remain on. Naruto was feeling light-headed. He didn't notice a hand on the site between his neck and his shoulder, which squeezed hard and triggered a nerve to make him fall unconscious. His last thoughts before he closes his eyes was –

"Hinata…"

~o~

Nagi sighed in relief as he flipped his phone close. They will be coming home.

~o~
