Chap10 Hai Guh Sha* Part II
Previously on chapter 9:
Neji eyed that someone was missing in their group and asked both Shino and Sasuke, "where did that priest go?".
"He would be in the tower as well, we should hurry.. we cant lag anymore time.. please follow me." Subaru said as she walked ahead leading the whole troupe out of the clearing.
'All I could see is darkness.. am I blindfolded or something? Because last time I've remembered using my eyes, they were alright. So that now I cant see anything, why is that? Is it true that I've lost my eyesight.. or it is that.. everything is pitch black in here? Arghh.. where am I? I don't know anymore. I cant contain this feeling any longer, the feeling of my heart pounding harder each second that passes by in this darkness.. is this what they call fear? I've never felt so much of it before.. I cant lose here, I cant lose to myself, I cant get scared.. I am not going to run away! Gambare.. gambare.. Where is it.. light.. light.. I need light. Someone! Oh please someone, help me!'
It is all as if it was delusion, once her heart calls for strength, for light, it came to her. Her sorrow was lifted by the mere sight of a little beam of light. She beamed at it, lifting her arm reaching for that small source of light that she could see, she tried grabbing for it. She knew she couldn't reach it, it was too high up. She noticed that she bumped into something and looked at its direction. The small beam of light that she found before enlarges and grew into strong beam of light, completely blinding her eyes. The girl shut her eyes off, avoiding her hurting pupils dilated to catch of more light than necessary.
As she sensed that the light is now far away, she found the courage to open her eyes and look around. She couldn't move anywhere since she felt that her left hand is stuck into something wet and rather solid but also squishy, and it wouldn't let go of her. Once she adjusted her pupil she noticed what it was.. standing before her was the very person, that she longed so much to meet.
'Seimei-kun! Seimei-kun! Seimei-kun! Oh gosh! How I've missed you so much!' she tried to voice her thought, but couldn't find her voice.
What's this? What is it with her? First her eyes and now her voice too? What is really happening to her? Hinata felt her quickened pace of her heart beat again, the fear she felt before is slowly creeping its way back into her. Once she noticed where she really was, she realised that it is the temple that she, Seimei, Subaru and Keiko were staying in, she frowned looking at it. Why all the statues were severed? Everything was in disarray, all the thing were scattered, the scrolls are burnt to ashes, the windows are broken, the temple looked as if it was hit by a storm. What happened?
So then she moved her gaze down to the floor and noticed something. Its red.. everything is red. It was red all over. It is smelly, this tangy smell.. she could even taste this salty, metallic taste. Its blood! Why the temple is covered with blood?! She slowly diverted her marble white eyes to where her left hand is stuck into. The mere sight left her breathless, as if her soul has been sucked away, she felt immense pain and heartache suffocating her.
Hinata pulled away her claw-like fingers that was burrowing into Seimei's chest. Her eyes widened abnormally as she saw her own hands that are stained by Seimei's blood. She began to hyperventilate, all her sense seemed to be off. All but the pain she felt in her still beating heart. She began to tremble uncontrollably, her knees grew weaker and weaker unable to support her own weight. As a hand was offered to her, she looked up to see who it was..
'Seimei-kun!'
He was offering her his hand, which is also stained by his own blood. So then, the blood on the floor, was it his too? Oh! She couldn't have hurt another person right? Hinata who looked as she was about to cry stepped away, as fear and guilt started to drown her senses. Seimei staggered up to his knees and approached Hinata.
"H.. Hinata-sama.. please listen to me.. you didn't do anything wrong.." he said softly.
'Lies! Seimei-kun you liar!' her mind shrieked as she clutched her hair's end.
"Hinata-sam..a.. please.. t..take my hand.. please." Seimei whispered breathlessly.
'no! don't come near me Seimei-kun! Don't come near me! I don't want to hurt anyone! No!'
The girl backed away from Seimei who was reaching his hand towards her, she turned away and began to run out of the prayer room, she began to flee away from the temple to somewhere where nobody would find her. She wanted to get away, she didn't want to hurt anyone any more than this. As she got out of the alley to the rooms, she ran straight ahead towards the temple's entrance. Passing by the broken windows, she stumbled upon something and fell down to the cold floor. She screamed looking at the arm that was bitten out of someone's body. Tears came cascading down to her cheeks uncontrollably. She accidentally saw the reflection of her own horrendous form in one of the broken pieces of the mirror. Hinata scrambled to her feet and ran out of the temple, she ran with all her might, having no specific direction to head to. The girl slipped over a rock and fell into calm river water.
She plunged out of the clear river water, heaving for breath, the girl who was in shock, trembled from the freezing chill of the water. She stayed frozen for a moment, as her tears kept falling on involuntarily. Blood that was on her was washed away into the river. It stained the clear water as well, seeing the reddish colour dissolving in the water her frustration, shock, pain, and depression all shot through her mind, the woman finally found her voice.
'what have I done?' her mind whispered before she..
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~"..howled.
Kiba was heaving his inhaled and exhaled breath, how many thousand blocks of stairs have they climbed? They still haven't reached the top yet. If his like that, he wondered how the condition of Yuri who wasn't a ninja is. He stopped his urge to laugh as she saw the woman chasing after him, while wriggling her way on top of the stairs like a legless worm. Looks like her thigh muscles gave in several hundred steps behind him. Sasuke, Neji and Shino were ahead of them, with Akamaru carrying Naruto on his back. Looks like he ate a lot for dinner he was starting to have cramps.
Subaru and the others finally reached up to the temple tower which was situated above the hills in the centre of the sacred forest, on top of the temple which is standing tall like a mountain.
"This way please" Subaru called them to the entrance of the temple.
She scowled looking at the unlikely atmosphere around the area which gave her goose bumps. There was strong scent that gave out a very foreboding feeling to her. She flinched in shock when she heard a loud cry, no.. it sounded more like a howl. Without further pondering of her mind, Subaru dashed her way through the temple entrance.
She gasped looking at Seimei who was staggering through his way, he stumbled upon his steps and fell on Subaru, "Seimei-sama!".
"Seimei!" Yuri and the others went up to the two of them into the temple.
"Hurry let's get him treated first." Sasuke said as he saw the wound on Seimei's chest.
Neji and Kiba took the priest into the room with Subaru while the others followed them to his room. Subaru hurried and cleaned the wound on his chest, she had seen this similar type of wound before. She recalled that she had seen it when he was attacked the last 2 and half years ago, that is when he had brought Hinata with him.
"S.. Seimei-sama, what happened to you, did she attacked you? Where is Keiko? What happened in here?"
He looked up at Subaru and whispered breathlessly, "S.. Subaru, s.. she.. she's wounded.. she's losing too much of her blood.. she escaped to the forest.. we need to f..find her.".
"What do you mean find her? She attacked you! She's dangerous and you still want to protect her, what is wrong with you Seimei-sama?" Subaru yelled as she applied the herbal paste on his wound.
"Subaru.. Subaru-chan.. please" Seimei said softly, clutching her hands that were working the bandages on his wound over his chest, he squeezed it to get her attention.
Tears started to form in her eyes as she scowled sadly at Seimei's amber coloured eyes, she felt a small twinge in her heart, she didn't know what she was saying in her grief by looking at him in this condition it pained her beyond words. She couldn't see him in this state.. true, she admired him for the longest time she had been with him, but all that he sees in her is as a mere assistant or a younger sibling.
She couldn't take this pain any longer, "WHY?" she yelled.
Pulling her hands away from his grasp, she jolted away from his side, Seimei rose from his bed and sat up in surprise and Subaru was sobbing before him.
"Why are you doing this to yourself Seimei-sama? She cant be any good to you! All you get by being with her is to get hurt! Why is that vile woman so important to you? Is she more important than your life?" she yelled.
"Yes." He answered calmly without hesitating even a second.
Subaru gasped in shock when she met Seimei's piercing glare. Yuri stared at Subaru and Seimei in shock, "Su.. Subaru-chan.." she whispered to cool the angered miko down.
Seimei stood up from his bed with his wound bandaged, he walked away from the room, while he brushed passing her, Subaru grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"Wait, don't go! You need to rest, you're wounded! If you go, you'll get hurt even more.. she's unstable and you might get.." Subaru trailed.
Seimei turned towards her and pulled her hand from gripping his wrist, "I wont. You stay behind with Keiko and guard the temple..".
Seimei looked at the ninjas and called, "Neji-kun, Sasuke-kun and Kiba-kun, I need you're your assistance in this.. please come with me, we need to find Hinata-sama before its dawn.."
"Sure, no problem" Sasuke said, "Wait.. What?!" Sasuke and Neji asked in surprise.
"Do you mean Hinata-sama as in Hyuuga Hinata?" Shino asked Subaru calmly hiding his anticipation under his veil.
"We didn't know who she is.. all we know is her name is Hinata, she said she only remembers her name.." Subaru explained.
"does she looks like this girl?" Kiba showed the miko a photograph of his team mate.
"…" Subaru took the photograph in her hand and said, "n.. no, I've never really saw how she looks like..".
"What? What do you mean, you stayed by her side, but you never saw her even once?" Kiba asked.
Seimei took the photograph and said, "she doesn't look anything like this girl.. I would like to explain this later. We must hurry now.".
"Shino-kun.. please take care of Naruto-kun.. send one of your bugs if something happens in here." Neji said before following them.
Subaru with Shino cleaned the temple after getting Naruto to rest in the room once Seimei and the others were out. They found Keiko unharmed but also unconscious behind the statue of the Buddha. Yuri watched over Naruto and Keiko while the other three worked to clean the messed up temple. They were gone for hours but none of them seem to know when they will return.
Subaru wiped all the blood stains clean and was replacing the water from the well, "so.. Subaru-chan.." Shino called.
"Hm?" she hummed.
"Who is this Hinata-sama, that the priest kept referring to? Please tell me what you know about her.." the Aburame asked.
The miko answered as she began wiping the floor with the clean water, "Hinata-sama, she.. is a mysterious person, I didn't say it to be mean when I stated that she was dangerous and vile but, she seems to be possessed by an evil spirit that Seimei-sama drove away.. she had amnesia after that, except for her name we didn't know who she is, and since then she has been living with us..".
"For how long?" Shino inquired.
"For about 2 and half years, Seimei-sama always took care of her all the time, so we didn't really got to get along with her, we would only serve her when he goes to the other temple at the dessert once a month.. she's closest to him, and all I know about her is that, she's kind, has a sweet and soft voice, she's gentle, good natured, and self-reserved.."
"hn.. so you do get jealous of her?" Shino questioned.
"h.. huh? What?" Subaru froze.
"you like the priest." He didn't question her, but he stated.
She stood there with a blank expression on her face, she answered coldly, "wrong.".
Shino looked at her as she continued with a smirk, "I love him.".
"hn.. thought so." Shino said returning the smirk.
"Shino~o! Subaru-cha~~n! Naruto's awake!" Yuri called the two of them into the temple.
Both Subaru and Shino followed Yuri to the room where Naruto was in. Subaru quickly checked his vitals and temperature; she gave an okay to his health and wondered how come he healed that fast when she checked his wound, it was completely healed.
Subaru frowned eying Naruto's chest and abdomen where the wound was, "its completely gone without a scar or trace..".
'just like Seimei-sama's wounds..' her mind echoed.
Naruto smiled scratching the back of his head, "hehe.. I always heal pretty quickly.".
"Hm? Really.. you're just like Seimei-sama.. his wounds heals this fast too.. by chance, did you learnt sorcery Naruto-kun?" Subaru asked him.
The blonde quirked a brow and asked, "a? sorcery, what's that?".
"its magic Naruto.." Yuri said.
"o~~ magic? Haha.." Naruto said.
"no he didn't know anything about magic.. he has extra reserves of chakra which is special.. it heals him." Shino said.
Subaru nodded in understanding and she checked upon Keiko who seems to be stirring when she heard Naruto's loud voice, "you seem to be okay, thanks to that chakra.. but please keep your voice down Naruto-kun." Subaru whispered.
"hmm-hm.. wh-where.. am I?" Keiko groaned as she sat up.
"a.. you're up Keiko.. how are you feeling?" Yuri asked.
Keiko rubbed her eyes and looked at them all, soon she cringed and her face flustered red, her eyes watered. She cried hugging Subaru, they were startled by her behaviour. Once Yuri and Subaru calmed the girl down, they questioned to her about the events which happened in the temple while they were gone.
The girl sobbed and sniffed as she explained, "everything was normal until tonight Subaru-chan.. I was praying in the prayer hall to Buddha when it happened. Suddenly I heard Hinata-sama shriek in her room, once I was there-"
She was cut by Naruto's yell, "WHAT?! IS HINATA HERE? HEY SUBARU, SHINO IS THAT TRUE?".
Shino calmed the shocked Uzumaki, "calm down Naruto.. it seems that someone here has the same name as Hinata..".
Yuri glared at Naruto and turned to Keiko, "Please continue on Keiko-chan..".
The trembling girl nodded and said softly, "but once I was in her room, there was a man there on the floor, he had something in his hand, he was shivering in pain, Hinata-sama I think she bit his right arm off his body! Once I saw that I panicked and I didn't know what to do… (sob, sob)".
Keiko sniffled and gulped as she continued, "I searched for her everywhere, the closet, under the bed, everywhere.. but suddenly while I was calling her name out I heard someone's snicker at the back of my head.. I swear it felt so realistically sinister.. when I turned around I saw something dark, a black figure, it had long hair that reached down, glowing reddish eyes, and fangs.. it was clinging to the corner of the ceiling! Once I saw it glaring down at me with such ferocity, I fainted right away.. I didn't know who is the man was.. but, I suspect that the dark being is..".
"Hinata-sama.. she transformed again." Subaru concluded seriously contemplating the series of event that Keiko described.
Yuri asked, "you mean.. she's possessed?".
"hm.. hm.." Keiko nodded her head.
Everyone in the was startled when they saw Naruto stood up, he looked directly at Shino and said, "Shino, where is that Hinata woman? I want to see her now.".
Shino smirked at the blonde Hokage's impulsiveness but somehow he felt the same way too, Subaru answered Naruto, "well.. she's not here.. Seimei-sama and 3 of your friends went after her. Master said that she was bleeding and she had fled from the temple into the forest..".
"hn.. then, I'm going after them.. I'll leave a clone for your safety, please stay inside the temple." Naruto said.
Yuri watched with sparkly eyes when he did the jutsu, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!".
A shadow clone appeared before their eyes and Yuri was turned into fan-girl mode as she yelled, "Sugoi!".
"Im coming with you Naruto" Shino said as Naruto was walking briskly out of the room.
They searched for Sasuke, Seimei, Neji and Kiba with Shino's bugs and also, Naruto had transformed into Sage mode to tract their chakra channels. They had sensed the chakra to be signalling over the west side of the forest, from the temple. Both of them marched through the forest to get near to the source. Naruto fell a sudden surge of warmth through his body, his heart swelled in hope and happiness.. because he had felt a very familiar chakra signature which belonged to a certain someone, but what was bugging him is that, instead of being normal, her chakra signature now was darker and cold. He could sense two of other chakra which is weakening, and one is still burning its signal out.
Naruto hurried and said to Shino, "Shino! I think Neji and Kiba are not in a good shape, Sasuke's still holding on! We have to hurry!".
Shino nodded his head, "Hn, Hai.".
Once they arrived to the dusty ground, just as Naruto had sensed, Neji and Kiba were severely injured, but still alive. They were lying limply on the reddish orange soil. Shino approached the both of them who were already unconscious. Naruto looked around and saw trees which were destroyed by Sasuke's Amaterasu, but the Uchiha and the priest wasn't anywhere near his side.
"Shino, I'll find them, look after Neji and Kiba!" saying that Naruto ran through the grassy field filled with bushes.
As he ran and ran deeper into the field, he found trails of blood which splattered over the dusty ground. The Uzumaki summoned his Sage mode again to find the 3 of them. He ran over to a river bank at the other side of the field. Once he reached the river he was frozen in his steps, stunned as he witnessed the rampage of the dark figure on both Seimei and Sasuke. It was killing the both of them slowly, it delivered punch one after another, stabbing and tearing their ribs and skin. She howled and growled at them menacingly as they tried to stay away from it. It moves as its speed was rivalling the speed of light, it appears and disappears faster than a blink of an eye. The Uzumaki gawked as he watched the beast twisted and twirled in the air, doing unreadable moves. The next minute he saw the dark beast was choking both of them to death.
Alarmed the blonde moved closer to it in order to save his friends he yelled at it, "Hey! You! Let them go!".
Naruto's scowl deepened into a sharp glare as he saw the beast stopped suddenly and sniffed the air. Its hair floated in the air as it turned around to find Naruto who was watching it, he could see its form properly now. His eyes grew wider in shock when he took in its full form. Its whole body was carved deeply with glowing red spirals of spells all over its body engraved like a tattoo over its dark flesh, the complexion of its skin was as dark as the night, the skin appeared dried, burned and severed. Its claw-like fingers were as sharp as knife, its pupil-less glowering red eyes staring straight at him, it has fangs that glint in the dark night. Something clicked in his mind when he noticed the gash from its rounded chest extending down to its abdomen, just as the same as his wound that he had healed before. His brows formed into a frown as he heard it snickering at him. His sky blue eyes met its glowing reddish orbs which was glaring at him with blood thirst.
While Seimei was coughing blood out Sasuke yelled to blonde, "Naruto you idiot! Move! Get away from her! She's dangerous!".
The beast snapped at him, and growled at the Uchiha sending a glare over the Uzumaki. Despite Sasuke's warnings, Naruto stood there breathlessly, he was immobilized as the beast tossed aside both Sasuke and Seimei over the dusty ground as if they were a pile of rubbish and approaching him in the speed of light, while howling in hunger for more blood, happy that it found another 'human toy' to play. With a little swing of its right hand it tore Naruto's robes off and scraped his recently healed chest. The illusive minutes that passed by seemed to freeze, before the blonde realized, he was tossed over his back crashing and sliding against the solid dusty ground. His eyes stared widely as the dark figure leaps over the atmosphere, and landed on top of him to severe his body just like it did to the others. The moment he laid his eyes on it, he immediately knew it, his body was frozen rendering him not to be able to move even an inch, he was sprawled there speechlessly before her both stunned and shocked witnessing at what have she become.. but he couldn't just accept it, this.. this, beast.. is.. is.. his..

'..Hinata..' his mind whispered.
"UUUUOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHH!"
