Story Title: The Life Changing Mission
Chapter Title: Chapter 4: Meet The Destroyer
The sounds of footsteps could be heard coming down the hallway. Hinata looked at Kyuubi again, and saw that he appeared to be growing more, and more anxious. She wanted to ask what was making him so anxious, but she didn't see what good it would do her. The footsteps started to become louder, until she could finally see, in the dim light, a person that was wearing a black colored shirt with matching jeans, his eyes and hair were blood-red like Kyuubi's, his boots matched his clothes, but the main thing she noticed was that he had nine tails coming out from behind him. They were black with red streaks in them. The man looked towards Kyuubi, and for a moment the feelings of hatred, and anger were coming from both Kyuubi, and the strange man. The man then looked towards her, and he gave her a fang filled smile.
"It is very nice to meet you Ms. ..." the man said, bowing.
Hinata could not find her voice for the longest time, but when she did it came out weak, and small, "H-H-Hinata H-H-Hyuuga."
"Well, it is very nice to meet you Ms. Hinata Hyuuga," the man said, bowing once more. "My name is Takeshi, but I am better know as The Destroyer by Kyuubi, and the other Nine-Tail Foxes."
"Because you earned it." Kyuubi said.
"Well, you may think that, but I personally believe that title was given to me under false charges." Takeshi said.
"You know very well that what you did earned you that title." Kyuubi said with great loathing.
"Kyuubi please do not try, and get a debate started because I absolutely refuse to debate with you." Takeshi said, in a annoyed voice.
"Why because I always win them?" Kyuubi asked, smugly.
"I've already said I would not debate with you, and I plan keeping to my word." Takeshi said, as he turned towards Hinata. "Ma'am by any chance would you like a meal, because I could have an excellent dinner made for you?"
Hinata was about to say, "No thanks", but was stopped by a sudden rumbling in her stomach, which was audible to the ears of Kyuubi, and Takeshi.
"I suppose I should take that as a yes?" Takeshi asked.
Hinata just nodded her head, while trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Very well, in about an hour, or less I shall send of one servants down here with your dinner." Takeshi said, as he walked off in the direction of which he came.
Hinata sat back down, and as she leaned her back against the cell wall she heard the sound of a rusty door shutting. She looked towards Kyuubi, and saw him sit down, and leaned against the wall opposite of her. She felt like she needed to say something, but she couldn't think of anything. She didn't know why she even felt like she needed to say something, but there was something compelling her to try, and start a conversation. She took in a deep breath, and started talking, "S-S-So y-you k-know T-Takeshi?"
Kyuubi did not answer.
Hinata decided to repeat her question, "S-So y-you k-know T-Takeshi?"
Kyuubi still remained silent.
Hinata was not planning on repeating herself forever, but she did decide on asking one more time, "S-So-"
"Yes, I know him, now keep quiet." Kyuubi said, in a irritated voice.
Hinata did as she was told, and did not speak again. Hinata couldn't see a clock, so she had no way of telling what time it was, and there was no window for her to use to find out what time of day it was. Even though there was silence, Hinata could still hear the sounds of very faint footsteps above, but she could also hear, what sounded like, the howling of a ferocious wind from outside the cell. About twenty or so minutes later Hinata felt the vibrations of a earth shaking boom, 'What was that?' Hinata asked herself. Minutes later another boom occurred, and Hinata couldn't help, but wonder what was causing them. Hinata expected another loud boom after about the same time, but this time it didn't happen. She looked towards Kyuubi again, and saw that he had his head down, 'I g-guess h-he's a-asleep.' she thought. Time passed slow for her, and this led to sleep beginning to try, and will her into a deep slumber. Just as she was about to give in to the power of sleep, she heard the sound a rusty door opening. It took only moments before she saw a man holding a large tray of food, that was giving off a heavenly aroma. The man placed the tray of food on the ground, and took out, what looked like a key, and stuck it inside a lock that she hadn't noticed before. She heard the lock open with a click, and the man pushed opened the cell door, with the tray of great smelling food in his arms. The man seemed a bit nervous, as he entered the cell, though she assumed it was because of Kyuubi. She watched as the man placed the tray of food in front of her.
"T-Thank y-you." Hinata said.
The man looked at her for a moment, and just nodded. He walked back towards the door, but stopped, and turned around to face her. "Master wishes for you not to share the food with the Nine-Tails." the man said, before he shut the door, locked it, and left.
Hinata looked down at the tray of food. Her mouth began to water, as the smell began to assault her nose, and the kind of food that she saw didn't help either. She saw a beautifully cooked steak, a bowl of steaming soup, one cup of beef ramen, and a big glass of water. Hinata's stomach was growling like an angry dog. She was able to spot a knife, and a fork in a little holder for utensils. She sliced off a good piece of steak, and quickly shoved it into her mouth with the fork. The steak was so tender that she didn't have to chew it that much, in fact she could have sworn that it was almost like eating butter. She took two or three more good bites of steak, before she moved onto the soup, which had vegetables in it. She quickly finished the soup, although careful not to burn herself with the bit that dropped from her spoon. Just as she was about to go after the ramen, she remembered Kyuubi. 'I-It's n-not v-v-very p-polite to e-eat in f-front of s-somebody that i-isn't eating.' Hinata reminded herself. 'But I was asked not to share it with him.' Hinata obviously knew that it was wrong to eat in front of somebody, and that it was wrong to ask her to do it. She picked up the tray, and walked over to Kyuubi. She placed the tray in front of him, but she saw that he was still asleep. She crouched down, and cautiously stretched out a hand, and placed it on his shoulder, and she then preceded to very gently shake him. But just as she was on her fourth shake, Kyuubi's hand immediately sprung up, and grasped her arm. Kyuubi's hand pulled her closer, so that she was staring straight into two blood-red eyes.
"Don't touch me again human, or I'll make sure that those precious hands of yours never touch anything again." Kyuubi threatened, in a growl.
"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry, b-b-but I-I j-just thought th-that y-y-you m-might w-want t-t-the r-rest of m-m-my f-f-food." Hinata said in a stutter of fear.
"No, I'm not hungry." Kyuubi said, as he released Hinata's arm.
"A-A-Are y-y-you s-sure?" Hinata asked, as she stood up, and back away.
"Yes." Kyuubi said, annoyed.
"W-W-Well, I-I-I t-t-think I-I-I'll j-just l-leave i-i-it h-here, i-in c-case y-y-you ch-ch-change y-y-your m-mind." Hinata said, as she walked back to her spot, and sat back down.
"Fine." Kyuubi said, once again, in a annoyed voice.
Hinata watched as Kyuubi slowly hung his head back down. 'He did kind of have a nice face.' Hinata thought, but she quickly pushed that thought out of her mind. Minutes later Hinata was succumbing to the power of sleep once more, but this time she didn't bother putting much effort into the fight, and this led to her quickly falling into a deep, heavy sleep.
Kyuubi watched as the human gave into sleep, and quickly go limp. He looked at the food, then back to the human, and once more back at the food. He brought the tray closer with one of his tails, and quickly devoured the steak, and ramen, which he followed with the glass of water, but for some reason he left enough water for the human. He lifted the tray with one of his tails, gently placed it beside the human. He was able to fight off the effects of sleep, but soon his eyes were beginning to droop, and before too long he himself was asleep.
