Chapter 11

Hinata woke up suddenly feeling cold. Something was wrong. She jumped out of her bed and ran into the living room quickly. "Naruto-kun!" She looked at the empty couch where Naruto was supposed to be asleep. She heard loud sounds outside and flew through the door. "NARUTO!" She yelled when she saw the hold Maya's guards had on him. Iruka was out there to, already beaten down in the hands of the guards.

"Hinata! Get away! Go!" Naruto yelled but she hesitated and the guards surrounded her. They must have attacked in the middle of the night. Why hadn't she sensed them sooner? Naruto pulled away from the guards hold and ran straight to Hinata, but the guards soon grabbed hold of both of them.

"HELP!" Hinata reached for him as he reached for her. "Naruto!" She screamed as someone pulled him away beating on him. Naruto looked back at her, beaten, as they held him down.

"Hinata!" He screamed as she was taken away into the darkness.

Naruto woke up tied to a chair in a dark room. He tugged, but the rope was to strong, and reinforced with more rope. "Sorry about having to tie you up." Maya said turning on the light. "But I didn't want to take any chances."

"Where the hell is Hinata?!" He demanded.

"Hinata is completely fine. She is in her room getting ready for tonight."

"What's tonight?" Naruto asked.

"Activation of PN49." She answered bluntly and proudly. "Finally the end to it all." She sighed with content.

"What is 'Project Neko 49?" Naruto asked weakly.

"Project Neko 49 is a weapon. A weapon that could change the world. It takes everyone's mind and body completely over and controls them." Maya answered with obvious superiority. "This weapon is Hinata. But the project can only active when the key, which unlocks the power within it. You Naruto are that key. You will unlock the power within it."

"And what are you going to do with their bodies and minds when you can control them? Huh? What makes you think Hinata will let you do that? She cares about this world! She is a caring and loving human being who would never do that!"

Naruto fell over from the smack he received across his face, the chair he was tied to fell over as well making the landing hurt so much more. "Human being?" Maya grabbed his chair and forced him upright. "You wouldn't know what a human being is. You're exactly like it!"

"Her! Hinata is a her!" Naruto spat back acid in his words. He once again received a smack, this time he didn't fall over. "Nothing you can do will change that." He said softer now. "You created Hinata, but that doesn't mean she isn't human. All human were created. Even if you don't believe in creation, every human is conceived when their parents created them." She turned away from him and walked out the room. "I know she is human. I know Hinata is human." He said, as the door closed leaving him alone in the darkness once again.

Naruto sat in the dark room quietly now, he was no longer tied, but it was pitch black around him. The door opened and light flooded the room, but he didn't look to see who it was. The door closed leaving him in the dark again. He heard footsteps approaching and silently wandered how they managed to walk in the dark so easily. The footsteps stopped only two feet from him. "Naruto-kun." Hinata's voice broke the silence.

"Hinata!" Naruto yelled looking into the darkness to find her. However, it was pitch black and that ended up being futile. "I can't..." she bent down and touched his cheek. She had no issue seeing in the darkness.

"I am so sorry Naruto-kun..." He grabbed the small hand on his cheek and pulled her into a hug.

"Hinata...I...don't go yet." He said. She felt something wet roll down her cheek from her eye. Her mouth curved into a said pout. She didn't know this feeling. She didn't like it.

"Naruto-kun." She hugged him back tightly. Crying.

He walked out of the dark room, in the hands of the guards. She was there, beautiful as ever, but that wasn't what Naruto noticed. He noticed her tear stained face, her sad eyes that looked as if she'd cry again and how she mouthed to him, "I'm so sorry Naruto." They dragged him over to her so that they were face to face, just inches from each other.

"Hinata..." He acknowledged sadly tears in his eyes.

"Naruto-kun..." She replied, a single tear falling down her cheek. Naruto pulled away from the guards and grabbed her, hugging her tightly.

"I'll be fine." He lied. "I'll be perfectly alright." She knew he was lying, but nodded her head in agreement. She knew, he would die, and she would disappear from this earth. There would be no happy ending to their fairytale.

The pout still fresh on her face. Tears still fell from her eyes. He can't die! She wouldn't let him! Not him! Never him! She thought for a second anyone but him, but he wouldn't like that. He'd rather it be him than anyone else. No matter who they were. He was so brave like that. So very brave. He was ready for anything. As long as it meant others would be safe.

"Don't do this." He begged Maya. "Don't do this to Hinata. She'll die."

"What do you care? You're going to die as well." She informed him. Hearing it said aloud for the first time forced her to cry even more.

"If I die then I die, but I don't want her to die as well. She has a life she could live out."

"You have a life to." Hinata sobbed out falling to her knees from crying. Naruto tried to pull away from the guards. "I won't let you kill Naruto!" She yelled still sobbing on the floor. "I won't let this happen!" She screamed. I light seemed to come from her. Starting at her heart it illuminated her until she was no longer seem behind the bright light. "This won't happen!" She still yelled her voice angry now.

Naruto pulled away from the guards and ran towards her. The light got brighter, and soon nothing was seen but that light.

The light cleared away and things seemed dark. Naruto looked up, he'd fallen backwards during the incident. Hinata was there, but it wasn't like Hinata. It was the Hinata she'd seen in his dreams. The tail. The ears. Project Neko 49. The created. She had a fire in her clear white eyes that burned with anger. No fear on her still tear stained face. No tears were falling. Nothing to indicate sadness, just anger. "You will not do this." She warned.

"Stop her!" Maya yelled to her guards. The guards came at her, and before Naruto could get up she attacked. Kicking the first guy in the neck he lost his breath for a second as he went flying across the room. The second guy she punched in the face. She wasn't going easy on anyone. The second guy crumbled to the floor holding his face.

More guys, alot of them this time. They'd surrounded her. There was no way she could handle them all. Naruto almost got up but this lavender glow illumined her. They stopped for a second, but soon continued. She began to spin. Fast. The lavender light grew, larger. Soon she stopped spinning. She brought up her arm and gracefully swung it around her, sending every guard flying.

Faster. She ran faster, straight for the machine. She didn't stop as she jumped in the air and destroyed it with a kick. Hinata attacked the new guards that had tried to stop her. More guards were flooding in now. Naruto couldn't sit there anymore. He jumped to his feet and knocked one of the guards fighting others as they moved in on him. "Hinata! Stop this!" Maya screamed.

"I won't let this happen." She said again looking at Maya with sad eyes. "Your whole life...it can not continue on this path." The guards grabbed Naruto bringing him down to his knees. "I can not let you control them. People are good Maya-sama. They don't need to be controlled. They can make the right decisions themselves. This country is set up with a democratic system. That is a good thing about this world, these people." She looked at Naruto who was now watching her. "About Naruto-kun and I. Because, we are human too."

"Hinata..." Maya stared at her. As well as Naruto, to him right now, she was so far away. So much higher than him. He felt like he would never reach her.

"We bleed." She looked at her arm, and at Naruto who was mostly covered in blood. "We were created, but so we're humans. We are people and a part of this world, and this world is good!" She quickly destroyed the last of it. "Project Neko 49, deactivated."

"NO!" Maya freaked, but Hio grabbed her shoulders and held her back. "I lived for that work!" She screeched trying to get free, but Hio held her tightly.

"I'm sorry Maya-sama." Hinata replied. The guards released Naruto as the situation became clear to them. Naruto got off the floor and walked over to Maya.

"Maya, we don't mean to take away your life's work." He told her. The glow around Hinata softened til it was gone. "But have you seen the world outside this lab? The people and places? How could you want to change that? Everything in this world is special and controlling people to make peace, that isn't real peace." Naruto looked at her sadly then offered her his hand to help her off the ground. "This world is great and…you could be part of it." Maya lifted her hand and as she reached for Naruto there was a gun shot and Hinata fell back. "HINATA!"

Naruto ran over to her, her eyes closed as she breathed unevenly, she was bleeding as well. "Hinata! Hinata!" She didn't answer clearly unconscious. Iruka ran into the room, he'd just gotten here after being left unconscious at his house. He knew something was wrong when he heard the gun shot, so he ran into the room. He ran over to Naruto and Hinata and moved her over in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Naruto fell back out of the way his eyes wide in horror as he watched her stop breathing.

Nothing. No breathing came from her mouth, and no heart beat was made he realized as Iruka began to give her CPR. "Hinata…" Naruto felt the warm tears fall down his face as the whole room around him melted away along with all the people but her. He closed his eyes and saw her like that still, nothing would let him get away from the image of the one he loved dead right before him.

"That is unfortunate…" A voice spoke filling Naruto's mind. He looked towards the source and saw a man with a gun. He had reddish hair piercings all over his face. "I hoped we wouldn't have to kill the weapon. But, we still have the key, and a weapon can be remade." He said.

"Pein!" Maya exclaimed. "You Bastard! Why! Why would you…!" She screamed she couldn't speak. In the one moment she thought of Hinata as a daughter, she was killed.

"Who…are you?" Naruto asked, he felt his teeth grind together and anger rush through him.

"Pein…is the man in charge." Hio answered. "He is in an even higher position in this project then Maya-sama herself. He started this whole thing."

"You…" Naruto felt the tears stop as more anger flooded. He couldn't feel anything at that moment but anger. Not physical, not even emotional. "You killed Hinata." Everyone heard the growl in his voice and all turned to him seeing a red light form around him. "You want to hurt the people of this world?! You want to hurt the people I care about?!" They watched as the glow around him made him resemble a fox. His eyes were now red and he had claws that weren't there before as well as fangs sharpened to a point.

"I'll kill you!" He said looking at Pein. "I'll kill you! Hinata didn't want this project to continue, and it won't! BECAUSE YOU…WHO STARTED THIS…YOU WILL DIE, RIGHT HERE WHERE YOU STAND!"

Naruto: Oh yea! This is going well!
