Hinata braces herself for impact as Naruto inches closer. He paces himself carefully, at first the blonde brushes a few strands of silk hair away from the female's profile and locks them behind her small ear. Slowly, he then, with delicate fingers, traces her cheekbone and runs the tips to her jaw line which then slide down smoothly to her petite chin. He paused for a second as his striking sapphire eyes sought her lavender orbs. He needed for her to watch him, observe as he demonstrated and exhibited his true feelings, his current emotions of frustrated love. Naruto took a moment to whisper, "Hinata, look at me properly." Until now they had been hidden from his sight, "Hey, if you don't see, you won't be able to comprehend the full extent of my feelings."

In due time Hinata's eyelashes flutter open sufficient enough for her pearl eyes to be visible for his gaze. Naruto couldn't tame the smile that lifted his lips, following the hotness to his cheeks. Concentrating back on his goal, he released the hard hold on Hinata's hands, having them drop like deadweight. Proceeding forward, Naruto cupped her face with warm hands, and reached for her lips. His hands guided her to his and his shoulders shifted to allow closer contact. Instantly, after they connected he was hit with a delightful wave of ecstasy. His lips coaxed hers entirely never leaving until the necessity for oxygen was no longer an option. Departing abandoned their lips and allowed air to fuel their lungs, both were gasping desperately.

Naruto reviewed Hinata's reaction. With feverish eyes she dropped her gaze. Her breath and Naruto's merged into one. "That... was a real kiss with real emotion..." he turned her face towards him and pressed his against hers. " Do you understand what I feel for you now?" Hinata was extremely tense, she knew there was something significant to that kiss, but couldn't overlook what happened earlier.

"I think I get it...but..." She gulped. "My head can't keep you and sakura out...when I picture you she's there, standing right behind you..." Naruto sighed.

"Well then I'll just have to force your head to think only of me" and with that he deliberately minimized the distance between them. This kiss was almost as deep as the other one, but it carried with it a sense of gentleness. Almost as if he was attempting to demonstrate how strong his love was for her and how he really, truly, cared.

Hinata's eyes we're flushed. What could she do? She couldn't escape his grasp, not that her body would let her. Hinata was once again caught by his spell. Even as children a little piece of her would crumble away at every goodbye she had to say. How things haven't changed. She hadn't realized she had been kissing him back until he suddenly backed away. Her eyebrows directed a question. To this Naruto responded, " We should stop here...otherwise I might take it too far." He smiled before grabbing her hand and taking the lead. For a moment there Hinata went back years to when they first met. She saw the boy who opened the door for her and showed her how the world was what you make it to be. Hinata was more than happy to follow his lead. As Naruto opened yet another door, they left the room. Turning a corner, Hinata saw from the corner of her eye what looked like a familiar outline..

"Hey! Why are you here?" It questioned abruptly.

Hinata then surprised Naruto by allowing his hand to fall and walked approaching nearer to him.

"Kiba-kun..?"

Kiba stood as if he was ready to face anything, with his chest out and his back straight. He had a long slim figure that fit a suit quite nicely, complementing his broad shoulders and slim sides. His brown hair was a bit messy even when gel was applied, thus giving off a wild and additionally, formal feel. "Yeah it's me alright , so answer my question already. Why are you here, with him?" He uttered all this while scowling at Naruto. "I thought you were supposed to be with-"

"Kiba-kun!" Hinata interrupted him. "Please don't!" She pleaded. Naruto eyed her suspiciously, his blues growing in puzzlement.

"Huh? You're kidding me right? You haven't told him?" He questioned incredulously.

"Kiba-kun! Please!" He looked at her feeling aggravated.

"So you're keeping it a secret huh? Fine by me, but in order to keep my mouth shut you need tape. Get what I'm saying?" He glanced at Naruto and scoffed. Then turned his eyes to Hinata." I'll make you a deal. Meet me here tomorrow at this exact time. Any less and I'll tell him. e-v-e-r-y-thing." Kiba then turned and walked the opposite way. "Oh, and one more thing. You'll be coming alone, otherwise, deal's over." He threatened glaring at Naruto.

Kiba's footsteps died as distance grew leaving Hinata and Naruto standing there silently. She opened her mouth and then quickly closed it. "Hinata." Naruto said under his breath. "I'm mad." He avoided her and continued to walk. Hinata looked up and immediately followed until he turned back in anger. "Don't follow me. Why don't you go with him instead, you seem to trust him a lot more than you trust me. Even after...I-" He growled and halted, in his face Hinata could see the betrayal he felt. And with that he disappeared into the hallway.

Her eyes lingered where he once stood, taking a moment to take in what happened in the course of the past few minutes. Her fingertips gently ran over her top and bottom lip. She could still feel his soft ones on hers. Her skin boiled on her wrists and face where his hands once were. As Hinata's vision became blurry tears swelled up in her eyes. She heaved out a painful breath before turning towards the lobby and then exiting the hotel.

As her luck followed the day's events, Hinata twirled to view at the entry of the Incandescent Hotel. She then lifted her face towards the gloomy gray sky, it seemed to weep[ with her, and surely enough its cotton tears flowed softly to her face. One after the other they all sunk to the cold earth below. It's time to move on, this time no matter what. No matter who would try to drag her back to the hell called "home", even if Kiba or Naruto took her by force, she will find her way out again. This road is only one she can walk, taking anyone else with will be a burden and get in the way. With her goal set in mind, Hinata left the entrance along with a fraction of herself. She knew it might be impossible to regain what was lost the moment her goal was set, but in the end it would all be worth it. If it saves her at least, the one reason Hinata has kept moving, the one person that never ever left her side or pushed her away for selfish reasons.

Back in the hotel Naruto laid on his bed, while hugging a large pillow, holding it dearly close to him. He looked over at where Hinata had slept the day before, smelling her fragrance that were still floating on the sheets. His sapphire eyes twinkled with the moon.

Naruto remembered Hinata, how she was sometimes completely irrational, and often hid her weakness. How he would feel warmth besides him whenever she was near. He missed the way her face turned every time he said or did something she didn't expect. The kiss especially made his craving for her to grow critically. He imagined her body and how her waist was easily wrapped completely by his arms. How her figure was pressing against his, and her voice echoing moans and whines into his ears. His face heated up along with his blood. Even though she wasn't there just her memory could make him feel that way. But why did he act so rashly? Some force had driven him to be unable to look at Hinata's face. To speak without processing his thoughts. He was 'mad'? At who? Thinking back to the guy, Kiba, made his anger grow once again. Could it be, that maybe he was a bit jealous? Well the way he acted so familiarly with Hinata drove him crazy. However , it wasn't Kiba who sent Hinata away, it was him. Realizing his mistake Naruto quickly got up and reached for his coat. How big of an idiot could he be? He brought her there and then abandoned her like a used up toy? How many times had this happened to her already and for him to do the exact thing he promised not to. Especially in a place she's never been to before all alone and defenseless. Naruto fetched his shoes and fled the room.

It took him a while of searching randomly around places she could of gone to until he saw what looked like a group of males surrounding a petite figure. They stood in front of a drug store.

"Come on shorty. There's surely no other place for you tonight, otherwise you wouldn't be here at all!" The man laughed like a maniac, while the other tugged her hair.

"Come on what do you say? Hey you smell kind of good." He inhaled her in, his nose on her neck.

"Hey let me go! Don't touch me!" Hinata kicked one of them in his groin and attempted to flee. Naruto caught a glimpse of her and realized who it was while she was pulled back in. One of the guys picked her up and held her so her hands were locked behind her back and the other punched her stomach, when the holder let go it sent her plunging to the floor. They then repeatedly kicked her. By now Naruto was sprinting towards her ready to attack. As soon as he reached her he grabbed one guy by the collar and gave his face a full fist. Next he turned to the other who had begun to flee and jabbed him with one knee.

With both men collapsed he then took Hinata from the floor.

Only when they arrived back in the suite were all of her red scars and purple bruises noticeable. Naruto laid her down very cautiously as to not hurt her. Meanwhile Hinata grunted in pain. At this moment she looked up at him with her large pearl orbs and raised her mouth. "Naruto I'm sorry." His eyes shot open, "Why are you the one apologizing? I should be the one that's sorry. If I hadn't overreacted no-...never mind that. Look at you, I'll be back with the first aid kit."

Indeed Hinata's clear soft skin was covered In multiple bruises, but what's worse was yet to be uncovered.

As Naruto walked in the room he reviewed Hinata's damaged figure. It was just like he had imagined it, only now she was suffering, all thanks to him. He looked down to the floor engrossed in guilt. Then slowly made his way around to her.

Right off the bat she noticed this and planned to console him, but for an odd reason, the words wouldn't come up.

"Alright this might hurt a little." He said while cleaning one of her bloody wounds. "Stay still, don't struggle so much" he whispered. "Okay, I got most of the little ones." His voice carried with a hint of fear for she might break. "Next I'm going to lift up your shirt alright?" She nodded. His hand reached the hem of her shirt and faintly brushed her skin. "Oh, god." He said cursing himself. Hinata's stomach was shaded with a mix of green and purple colors. He turned to her face and bit his lip. Then continued. " Alright you're done. I'm going to...go shower, I drenched in sweat. You should probably get some rest." She nodded once more.

In the bathroom he glared at himself using the mirror. Then placed one foot inside and entered the steamy water. His thoughts travelled back to Hinata's injured body. "Damn it all!" He cursed and punched the hard wall.

The water poured out onto his blonde locks. Then slid down his defined back, and traced his well built arms, along with his chest. Naruto paused for a while, then before long switched the hot water off and placed one foot out of the luxurious shower.

He reached for the knob and turned it slowly so he wouldn't wake her up. Then one step after the other reached the bed. As he climbed up, the wood squeaked and moved. Finally settled he absently stared at the white ceiling until he felt movement besides him.

Hinata got up and had accommodated herself on top of Naruto's abdomen. "Hinata?!" He questioned. She said nothing and let her hands fall, one on each of his sides. She attempted to stay balanced till one of her hands shook in pain and she pitched forward on his chest. Naruto huffed out and swiftly checked her. "Hey, what are you doing? Are you okay?"

Hinata's eyes were glossy and her cheeks glowed red. She was spread over his larger chiseled physique, causing their heartbeats to echo one another. "A-are you sick?" He asked, arching his neck downwards to see her face.

"They...the guys...they made" She huffed out of breath. Naruto noted her unusual actions and unsteady breathing.

"What did they do?" He almost demanded for the answer.

"They made me...drink...? She sounded exhausted.

"Drink?! Drink what?" He shot up, moving her and sending penetrating pain through her bottom half. Causing her to release a hidden shriek.

"I don't...I don't know! But my body's all hot, it's burning...I-I'm not sick, this is different, it's like I can't control my body...It wants something. "She wheezed, managing to fill her lungs up.

"Well can I help? I mean how?!" He asked desperately. "What does it want? What do you want? "

"I was trying to endure it, but right after you climbed in bed I just...oh god. I've been having waves of this sort of throb like feeling...And it keeps...getting worse." Just as she finished her sentence her body tensed up and trembled vigorously. Her nails had dug themselves into his back scratching down leaving a track of red lines. She wasn't sure what it was, but her body was hungry for his, it was starving for his touch.
