Day 6

He wanted to sit down but, seeing how the table and chairs looked as if it would break by just touching it, he decided to just stand there with his rifle firmly underneath his armpit. He watched the young girl pick up two wooden sticks and attempt to slice the animal remains into smaller pieces. I cant stay here! This is wrong! Hanabi tore the cardboard into a makeshift plate and placed a few chunks and pieces of the dead animal. Hands shaking, she gave the plate to Naruto but didn't understand why he was still standing; especially on his wounded leg. Naruto stood there eyeing Hanabi for a few minutes as he grabbed the plate and took no time to stuff his face. Not bad. The little brat can cook. Hanabi quickly went over to make another plate and went into the small area where her sister and the fox were in.

"Hinata, here is your-," Hanabi stopped her talking as she saw her sister tie a knot into her worn out black boots. "Going somewhere?"

Hinata looked up from tying the last knot on her other boot and smiled at her sister. "We need more food than what we have now, especially since we've got more mouths to feed."

Hanabi blinked a few times and sighed. She went up to her sister and gave her the cardboard plate. "At least eat before you go." Taking the plate, Hinata slowly ate her food and both girls heard a slow, uneven tapping noise as the man she helped earlier came limping in the small area – an angry look present on his face. "You're not going anywhere." Kurama shot up from his nap upon hearing his owners' deep voice and immediately went to his side. Naruto didn't glance at his fox nor did he make any gesture to pet him for being obedient.

"Excuse me?" Hinata had to make sure that she heard this man correctly. Who did he think he was telling her what to do when he didn't live here for almost 3 years?

"Sorry, let me rephrase that." He cleared his throat once and with a tone so cold, Kurama shook with every word he spoke. "Your. Ass. Isn't. Going. Anywhere. Now did you hear that?"

Hinata's mouth hung open as well as Hanabi's. The tension was too overwhelming for her as she quickly removed herself from the small area, mentally apologizing for leaving her sister with this madman.

Hinata got up from her cot looking around for something and Naruto could only stare at her questionably.

"What are you looking for? You don't have a secret weapon that you plan to use on me do you?" He asked as he started to grip his rifle, ready to be prepared for whatever this woman is planning to do.

"No, I don't carry such firearm," Naruto loosened his grip and cursed at himself for even believing her. "I'm searching for who exactly you were talking to because I know you weren't talking to me like that, sir." She dragged out the word sir as she turned to face the man, trying to look as angry as possible but she was more scared than angry.

"I'm talking to you. Who else is in this room? Unless you're hiding someone here to murder me. Are you an assassin?" He went to grip his rifle and Hinata jumped back as she seen how quick he went to grip it.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I have never killed any-" she stopped as a memory came over her and she stood there staring into space. One again, Naruto was confused. She was like a statue. Eyes wide, staring at nothing.

"What are you looking at?"

No response.

Naruto cursed and limped his way over to the woman.

"Hey!"

She jumped and screamed. "PLEASE! I DON'T WANT IT!" She quickly covered her mouth as she remembered where she was and who she was talking to. Naruto was in shock. Don't want what? I wasn't going to give her anything.

"I-I'm so sorry." She whispered as she went to her cot and slowly sat down.

"I usually don't ask this…well, I never ask this but, are you okay?"

Hinata didn't speak. She just started to rub her arms hard as if she was disgusted with herself. I don't know what to do. Naruto thought as he stood there watching the woman rub her arms and steady look over her shoulder. I haven't been in contact with a woman in over 6 years. Is this woman mentally ill? Hinata shook her head as if to clear her thoughts and then got up as if nothing happened. Weird… this woman is really weird. Hinata straightened her posture and took a deep breath and headed over to the door.

"No!" Naruto groaned and winced in pain as he attempted to run and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing sir? Let go of me! You are supposed to be resting! That wound needs to heal."

"First of all, stop calling me sir, it makes me feel like I'm an old fuck. Secondly, it isn't safe for a woman like you to be out there doing God knows what, alone. And third, don't tell me what to do." Hinata looked as if she seen a ghost. Don't tell him what to do? Is he serious?

"Excuse me? Okay, look. I call you sir because firstly, I don't know your name, secondly, who are you to tell me it isn't safe? As far as I'm concerned, I only encountered you and last time I checked, people don't just randomly kiss strangers," Naruto blushed a small tinge of pink and luckily for him, it went unnoticed by the rambling woman in front of him. Why did I do that? "Also, how dare you tell me not to tell you what to do when you're telling me what to do? In my own house?"

"Touché." Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose. Maybe it was a bit off to tell her what to do and she lives here. He's just a stranger who needed nursing. "This really isn't a house, but it is a place to stay in. As far as I know, you're safe here, and if you go out there, something bad might happen." Hinata crossed her arms and Naruto almost wanted to laugh at how her small face tried to look angry with him. "Look, there are bad people out there who want people like you and your sister. It isn't safe."

"I've been fine going out there to hunt for years now, thank you very much sir."

"Naruto."

"Pardon?"

"My name is Naruto."

"Oh, well, sir Naruto." She giggled as he glared at her.

"Very funny ma'am." He wanted to laugh as she winced at that word. "Doesn't feel so good does it?"

"No, it does not."

"Then what is your name?"

"It's Hinata."

"Well, Hinata, how about my fox hunt for the food and you stay here where you're safe?" She thought about it for a moment. His fox did catch quite a few animals that had a lot of meat on them.

"I suppose so, but what is so dangerous again?"

"Kurama!" Naruto yelled for his fox over his shoulder, startling him and Hinata. The fox quickly came to Naruto's side and waited for him to speak. "Alright you lazy ass. I need you to get the goods for us. Got it?" The fox wagged his tail and immediately ran out of the cabin door as Naruto whistled for him to get moving. He turned back to Hinata as she stared at him. "What?"

"Why are you so mean to your fox?"

"I'm not mean to him."

"You are."

"Well, it's none of your business."

"You kissing me is my business. Why did you do that?" When he didn't answer, she went over to her cot and started to undo the laces on her boots.

"I have yearned for a woman for years now. Its been a while since I've been in contact with one."

"So, I was like some toy? Just something to satisfy your need?" He didn't answer and Hinata once again felt disgusted with herself. She started to remove her coat and Naruto watched her intently. For a small woman, she sure is packing.

"No, you weren't just some toy."

"Then why'd you do it?" She quickly replied back almost startling the man a few centimeters away from her in the small room.

"Dammit woman! I told you why!"

"So, I was a toy! A toy, that men think women are!"

What the hell is she talking about? Did something happen to her?

Hinata got up and turned her back towards Naruto. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You really want to know why I did it?" When she didn't answer he spoke again. "You smelled really nice and it was tempting okay?" She turned around and stared at him. Eyes squinting in disbelief as she shook her head at him. "So, you're a man who can't fight temptation? Do you go around and kiss every woman you meet because their scent is tempting to you?" Damn, this woman is slowly crushing my soul.

"No… did something happen to you?"

"How dare you say that?!"

What the fuck?

"Whoa, I just asked a question. You're being very defensive and sexist right now."

"Sexist? Do you hear yourself right now?

"Well, I do have ears. You just seem sexist because you believe that every man think woman are toys which isn't true. Unless you're referring to little ass boys because real men don't."

"Okay, so I guess you're a little boy then?" I can see this woman doesn't curse.

"No, I'm a man." He sighed. "Look, I just simply asked you a question. Did something happen to you to make you think that?"

"Well, it's none of your business. Sound familiar?" She just hit me with my own words. Cold. I like that. "I don't know why I'm even arguing with you," She said as started to walk over to the small kitchen. "I'm going to go check on my sister who probably is traumatized that I'm arguing with a man." Disappearing into the kitchen, Naruto thought as to why her sister would be traumatized. I don't know why but, I really want to know more about that woman.

Limping towards the cot, Naruto sat down and with his free hand, ran it through his golden locks. I find this woman to be very interesting. Its bizarre. God! I better not fall for this woman or I'll kill myself! He found that hard to believe. Some thing about Hinata excited him and it wasn't because of her huge bust or her long hair or her scent, he wanted to know her, actually know her and it frustrated him that she wouldn't talk to him. He actually enjoyed their little argument because he found her voice to be cute. Gah! What the fuck! No! I'm becoming soft! Of course she won't tell me! I'm a fucking stranger to her! He laid back on the cot and thought about their weird argument. As he was thinking, he fell asleep and dreamt about her lavender scented hair and her pearl lilac eyes.

He felt something cold and wet but, it was also very painful. What the hell is going on? The feeling only got worse as the wetness came and went constantly. His eyes shot open and he looked down to see that his pants were down to his ankle and Hinata was cleaning his wound.

"God damn it woman! You should never do that to a man while he's sleeping!" Hinata put the rag which was actually an old torn up shirt, back inside the tin bowl and wrung it out partially to squeeze the rest on his wound. "You're no man," she said as she started to wipe the very irritated skin present on his thigh. "You're a little boy." For some odd reason, those words penetrated Naruto's soul, hitting him where it hurts. He hardly ever feels any emotions, but the woman beside him, triggered him in the most peculiar way. "Besides, I need to clean the area at least twice a day every three hours or else it'll get infected and I just might have to amputate your leg. I'm sure you wouldn't want that." He didn't know what to say other than the fact that he was only in his boxers and with men's boxers, they have holes in the front, and he silently prayed that nothing came out of that hole. Her hands were so soft as she put some type of ointment on his wound and wrapped his wound with and old thick sweater.

"I could've done it myself." His voice was raspy and dry and he mentally cursed for almost getting speechless by this woman. "You wouldn't have known what to do and also, you're supposed to be resting. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have wanted me to do it while you were awake so I was glad to see you were sleeping." Maybe if you would've asked, I would've let you. He thought and immediately took it back. What am I saying?! I barely know this woman! In fact, I don't know her at all! All I know is her name and that she hates men! Maybe she's a lesbian. Mentally, he hoped she wasn't. All that woman going to waste.

"Well?" She asked for the umpteenth time. She was wondering why he was just staring at the ceiling. I should've just left him alone. I should've known he was going to ignore me. Naruto snapped out of his thoughts and asked her what she said. "Jeez, I asked you if you were hungry? Your fox had returned an hour ago." An hour? How long was I out? "No, I'm not." Getting up, Hinata grabbed the tin bowl and went to the kitchen. Damn, that ass. He smacked his forehead and carefully pulled up his pants. She wrapped that pretty nicely. I wonder where she learned to do that? Wait. Why do I care? He was surprised that his wound didn't hurt as bad as it did earlier. What was that stuff she used? Getting up, he glanced at Kurama laying near the door of the cabin sleep. Lazy ass fox. Shaking his head, everything seemed to move in slow motion as shots fired through the cabin. His first thought went to his rifle but then he remembered that there are two girls who has no skill in survival. Seeing Hinata first, he saw her mouth open to scream but he quickly grabbed her, covering her mouth and dropped to the floor to shield her.

Dammit! They found us! Where's that Habi girl? He started to look around frantically and spotted Hanabi underneath the damaged table, watching her stare at him and Hinata with fear spread across her face. Smart girl, not even a peep from her and she hides herself well. Now if only Hinata was just as smart as her. Kurama immediately went over to Hanabi and she held onto the fox as he shielded her small body.

Great, I'm once again on the ground with this man. Hinata thought. What exactly is going on? Naruto looked down at the woman he was so confused about earlier. Staring into her pearl lilac eyes, he felt something click in his head and in his heart. He wanted to protect this woman, even if it cost him his life. He wasn't sure why, but he felt that it was his fault that the assassin's knew where to find him. He felt responsible for this. Responsible for the fact that Hinata as well as her sister, are in danger and basically lost their only home for protection. He would hate to witness such lewd acts being preformed on both girls. I must do something. And he did. As the last bullets rang out, he knew they were far from safe. I know that trick anywhere. Stop shooting as if to indicate you're done fucking up the place. Nice try assholes. He felt Hinata squirm underneath him and he made a shh movement with him mouth but with no sound. She got the memo and stopped moving and he mentally sighed in relief.

Letting out a soft, low whistle, Kurama's ears shot up and he looked at Naruto who was gesturing the fox to get his rifle. As soon as Kurama moved to grab Naruto's rifle, the cabin's door flew open and with one swift movement, the fox threw the rifle from his mouth towards Naruto and he quickly grabbed it, aiming the rifle towards the one assassin he hated the most.

"Naruto." The assassin said with menacing eyes.

"Momoshiki." The two were in a stare down as Hinata hid behind Naruto and was in complete shock on how tense and hard his body was.

"Hinata," He said not taking his eyes off Momoshiki. "Go over to your sister. I don't want her to get traumatized by dealing with us men." She wanted to protest, but knew he was right. As she moved, she immediately stopped in her tracks as a bullet flew past her face.

"Stay where you are bitch."

Too frightened by what happened, Hinata went back to hide behind Naruto.

"You've got a lot of guts."

"What I've got," Momoshiki started as he slowly started to walk towards them. "Are balls filled with cum ready to explode in a bitch."

NH18: Wow! Stopping here! It's about time I updated right?! I hope you all enjoyed this and just cause I did update doesn't mean I'll continue! (ok, yes it does) but then maybe not. Maybe I should keep it at possibly discontinued! And yeah, Momoshiki and Kinshiki are in this so it might not make sense to y'all but it does to me because..well..its fanfic! And since Kinshiki is gone, there's just Momoshiki and the last person! Wonder who could that be! And I want to slowly build up NaruHina's relationship so that's why they don't like each other or one don't like the other or vice versa! I thought it would be more interesting that way!

Thanks for reading!

P.S. What do you think happened to Hinata for her to be so hostile and hate men?
