Holy Crap! Fifty-five reviews! That's so awesome!
Well here is the fourth chapter! I've been told that I am moving a little to fast and most of my ideas have been used and now are a little cliche.
I will be moving more slowly, but not too slowly, plot line wise, and I will also be thinking things over more! Better quality will be coming ahead! And longer chapters.
Hinata had mixed feelings about the villagers now that she knew why they hated Naruto. She had already not liked most of the villagers because of how they treated Naruto, and now she loathed most of them. But she was far from wanting them dead.
First, she was too kind-hearted to want a person dead, even if they hated the person that she loved with all her heart.
Second, The Village Hidden in the Leaves was her home, and the villagers were just acting upon their fear and anger. She couldn't blame them for that... well mabey just a little bit.
Naruto and Hinata talked to each other for a while before she drifted off to sleep.
Naruto looked at her, and smiled. The moonlight that shined through the window illuminated Hinata's pale face. He pulled her up onto the hospital bed with him and tucked the blanket around her. Naruto had been hurting badly at what he had seen in Tsukuyomi, and Hinata was the only one that helped him. He knew that he would be willing to protect her with his life and it made him so happy to have someone that cared about him like that. And to have someone to care about, like how he cared about Hinata-chan.
Hinata-chan was one of his very precious people now.
Hinata was still in Naruto's hospital room later when Tsunade and Jiraiya came back in. Both teenagers were asleep and Hinata, tucked under Naruto's covers, was laying with her head on Naruto's chest and a smile on her face.
Tsunade and Jiraiya left with their own smiles on their faces while they walked out of the room.
Jiraiya let out a perverted giggle, looked at Tsunade, and said, "He finally gets it!"
Tsunade couldn't answer, but did give him a smack on the head for good measure, as they walked into the waiting room. There most of the people that were on the mission were waiting for an update on Naruto's condition.
When he saw Tsunade walk in, Kakashi put away his book and strode over to her.
He asked, "Is everything all right?"
"Yes," the slug-princess replied with a grin, "Naruto-baka will be fine... He just is exhausted from his fight."
Shikamaru stood up and said, "Are we able to visit him?"
Tsunade shook her head no and answered, "I still don't have a clue what he saw in Tsukuyomi, and I can't have anyone else visit him until I am able to ask him." Inwardly Tsunade cringed, knowing that talking to Naruto about that would not be a fun experience.
All of the people in the waiting room said their good-byes, promising to meet tomorrow after a good nights sleep, until only Kakashi, Tsunade and Jiraiya were left.
Kakashi turned to them and asked in a weary but totally serious voice, "There's something else isn't there?"
Tsunade sighed and said, "This is something I've never seen before... The Demon's chakra is especially active today. I believe that Naruto's and the fox's chakra are mingling together somehow."
She saw the horrified looks on the two men's faces, and continued. "I have no idea how this will effect him." Tsunade couldn't tell them what she had found... it was Naruto's choice if he wanted to tell anyone.
The three sat there for a moment before hearing the 'whoosh' of the hospital doors opening. They turned to see Hiashi Hyuuga striding over to them in all his I-am-so-better-than-you glory, with two Hyuuga guards behind him.
Tsunade sighed and as she walked up to him asked, "Is there something you need Hiashi-san?"
Hiashi kept his face indifferent when he said, "I wish to know were my daughter is."
Tsunade looked at him with a glare that just dared him to freak out at what she was about to say. "Hinata was exhausted from her mission, so while visiting Uzumaki Naruto she fell asleep. I felt that there was no need to move her to the Hyuuga estate due to the fact that Uzumaki is in critical condition and wishes for Hinata to be with him."
Hiashi returned the glare with his own and ground out, "I will be taking my daughter home. Now!"
Tsunade was desperately wishing for a bottle of sake right now. One, so she could drink herself stupid, and two, so she could smash the bottle over Hiashi's fat head.
In Naruto's mind scape, said demon container was sitting up against the bark of a willow tree (1), thinking over what had happened. He thought that he had overreacted about the whole Tsukuyomi thing, but still couldn't stop the gnawing at the back of his mind that was what we call doubt. He buried his face in his hands and began to curse at nothing in particular. Hearing footsteps, he looked up to see his mother walking toward him, before she stopped and looked at him in surprise.
Naruto lowered her head again, ashamed at what had happened to him...
Kyuubi was racing around Naruto's mind scape, looking for her son. She frantically searched for his aura before finding it, and racing toward it. She was relieved to see that he was unharmed, she stopped for a moment, in surprise, before racing toward him again seeing that he wasn't looking at her.
"Naruto! Oh... no..."
Her son was sitting on the ground against a tree, with nine blond tails swinging behind him.
She raced up to him and pulled him into her embrace, all the while whispering, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Naruto raised his voice a little to be heard over his mothers pleas of forgiveness and said, "Mom, please! I'm fine..."
But Kyuubi knew that her son was far from fine. Now that she was close enough to really feel his aura, she noticed the fine, but strong line of demonic energy in him. Her son had become a half demon...
She cried in sadness.
Naruto seemed to be fighting with what he wanted to say, before blurting out, "What will the village think! What will Hinata think!!"
His mother immeaditly sobered up enough to grab him by the shoulders and looked him in the eye before saying, "First, Hinata would never leave you! She cares about you deeply, and you too blinded by fear for her to see that."
Seeing that Naruto was calming down she grimaced at having to give him the bad news, "But...my son, the villagers won't be as forgiving as Hinata will be... But it's your choice about what you want to do!"
Naruto sat for what seemed like days for his mother, before saying, "I want to leave the village."
Kyuubiwas shocked at his answer. Before she could speak, he continued. "I'd been thinking about leaving the village for a while mom. Now I have and excuse. If I want to be with Hinata the way I want to be then I can't stay in a place were she will be in danger. I want Hinata to come, too. If she wants to." At this point, Naruto had a small blush on his face.
"I'll still write to all of my friends, by summons, if I can. The only thing I'm having problems with now is choosing were to go. I don't want to go to the Sand, I don't want to burden Gaara anymore than need be. I can't think of any other place. What about you?"
As Naruto finished his plans, Kyuubi noticed that he had a look in his eye, one that said "This is what I have to do"
The Demon Lord sighed and said, "I know of a place but you need to know something before you can say if you want to go.
"As you know, in human religion, their is a figure called the shinigami, or Death God. Truth is, there is more than one. They all work under a supreme ruler named Enma, and he is the ruler of the spirit world, just as I am in the Demon realm, also called Makai.
"Enma was the one who had asked me to come to this world to try and stop Orochimaru from gaining immortality. I found him and seeing that most of my comrades and had been killed, I went into a rage and started a rampage across the elemental continent. You know the rest of that story..."
Naruto looked at his mother in wonder at her tale. Before he could ask questions she continued.
"All in all," she said, "There are four worlds. The Elemental countries, Reikai, Makai, and another world of humans, Ningenkai. The humans in that world are more technologically advanced, but are more primal in their fighting.
"I think you will be able to go to Ningenkai. It is a good world, except for some humans. You and Hinata, if she wishes, will be safe there. No one in this world knows anything about Ningenkai."
Naruto smiled and asked, "I think I like the sound of that. I'll ask Hinata tomorrow if she wants to come." It was then that he noticed something. "Mom, why didn't Hinata see my tails when I was awake?"
Kyuubi said, "I think that it just took a while for your half-demon form to manifest itself, I think she'll notice it whan she wakes up."
Naruto freaked a little at that and said, "Crap! I gotta wake up before someone can see my tails, and all the other stuff!"
And with that Naruto was pushed out of his mind scape.
(1)- Naruto's mindscape never was able to turn in to the sewer system that was portrayed in the anime/manga, because of Hinata's intervention. His mindscape is now a lush forest.
Well the polls are closed! The crossover will be! (drum roll) Yu Yu Hakusho! I've counted all of the votes that I received in reviews and in PM's and here are the results!
YuYuHakusho - 21
Inuyasha - 20
Bleach - 19
Devil May Cry - 4
Avatar - 4
Dragon Ball Z - 3
Kingdom Hearts - 2
Danny Phantom - 2

I was thinking about doing a three way crossover since Inuyasha and YuYu Hakusho were so close, but I've never done one before and I don't want to ruin my first story.
Thanks again to my reviewers!
