Chap11 Hai Guh Sha* Part III

Oh howling wind of cold winter..
Can you hear my voice?
Even if I'm losing blood..
My heart races yearning for a glimpse of his smile..

Will you visit him on the way you pass..
Tell him that this departing soul..
Will always protect him..
As long as this world lasts.

Previously on chapter 10:

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!"

Life withered away in his soul..
When he was barely able to sustain a glance of her..
His mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything else but her..
Everything seemed surreal except for her presence before him..
Reality seems to dissolves in her existence..
His limbs halted to move and he stood there before her.. feet glued to the ground..
Happy or sad he didn't know what should he be feeling..
When he sees her in the peak of her agony..
He needed to know what should he do to remove her from this suffering..

"NA~RU~TOOOOOO!" Sasuke yelled out to the blonde.

But then widened his eyes as he watched the beast stopped its attack in the middle.

"!"

It is as if that the sound of his heart's voice had been delivered to her by an unknown force, the once serene damsel turned into beast stopped her wailing as she was about to plunge his into his chest and pull his heart out of his body. Her movements froze as well as she sat on top of him, stunned and bewildered by hearing the sound of the soft call of his heart.

Time ceased to exist as his softened sky blue orbs stared gently into her eyes, the once beautiful moon-like orbs that is now has been bathed in blood, stared right down at him in bewilderment. The pregnant silence between them was accompanied by the howling of the night wind. Nothing could be spared at the moment, as none of them dared to break their gaze, stunned, breathless, and captivated by each other's presence, no words were exchanged.

"Cough.."

"Cough.. ch-lou-ghh!"

Naruto's widened sky blue eyes that reflected the beast in shock as her blood splashed onto his chest, he watched her coughing out blood from an attack.

Seimei scrambled to his feet and ran towards yelling out to her, "H! HINATA-SAMAAAA!".

Sasuke who was left alone on the ground propped himself up using his less injured arm, supporting himself to get on his feet. He was surprised when Seimei spun around and yelled at him.

"Why did you do that?!" the priest yelled frantically.

Sasuke who was puzzled looked at the direction of the beast that just leaped off from Naruto, coughing more blood. He casted one look at her chest and realized that he instinctively had pushed his katana the Kusanagi sword infused with his electrifying chakra piercing deep into the possessed woman, in order to protect the Hokage.

The priest ran after the beast as she stumbled on her steps coughing out more and more of her blood. For some reason Seimei seemed so alarmed, a sudden chill rained through his spine as he approached the beast who snarled viciously at him. She was holding her head instead of her chest that should be severed by the legendary Kusanagi sword. Seimei pulled his staff which the beast had tossed aside.

"Hinata-sama! Please calm down!" Seimei yelled running after her.

Naruto was slapped in the face by Sasuke to wake him up, "Snap out of it you baka!".

Naruto gasped holding chest and widened his stare on the Uchiha and the pain hit his senses, he coughed out blood as well. Sasuke clearly knew that the beast didn't attack him but how does he has wound over his chest? Confused and panicked the Uchiha called out for the blonde to check if he was conscious.

"Naruto! Hey Naruto!" Sasuke shook the blonde.

Naruto coughed dryly and hold up his hand barely whispering to the Uchiha as he got on his feet, "I'll b-be alright! I h-have Kurama.".

The Uzumaki stumbled on his steps holding his chest, "We m-must capture h-her, that is H-Hinata..".

"Wh-what?! That THING is Hinata?!" Sasuke asked Naruto unable to believe the blonde's words.

"y-yeah! Come S-Saske!" Naruto pulled the shocked Uchiha and ran after the priest and the beast.

She pressed her hands trying her hardest in supressing the pain she felt. She still didn't know where she was, everything that surrounding her was dark and she couldn't see a single trace of light. Blinded by the depth of darkness, she clutched to her pained chest. Her heart tightened painfully, as she heard weird sounds and voices were heard from her surroundings. She stood up to her feet and searched even though she couldn't see a thing in the pitch black.

"H-Hello! Anybody here?" she called out but the voices didn't seem to die down but it only increased in volume.

"Hello! Pl-please h-help me! Ca-can you hear me?" she yelled with all she had in her.

The voice became even louder and reached her heart, they echoed through the timeless space loud enough for her to shriek and she hugged herself in fear. How long had she been here? How much had she called out for help.. Why nobody came to her rescue? Why this place is so dark? She couldn't stand to be there even for one more second. What kind of torment is this? She clutched her eyes close.. She remembered Seimei whom she saw the last right before slipping into this dark hole again. The red colour of haemoglobin enriched blood that trickled through his wound on the chest.. His warm voice never losing its gentle touch even when he was heaving ragged breaths. The pain in his eyes.. She recalled the caring and softness of his warm gaze. How painful it was.. that very moment realizing that she nearly killed the person she loved and cared deeply.. The only person where she can reveal herself to, the only person she could depend on..

'S.. Seimei-kun.. Seimei-kun.. Seimei-kun.. I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry..'

The woman slumped down on the invisible floor.. Shivering and choking her sobs in, she let out soft mumbles of muffled apologies to the person whom she didn't know was still alive. She couldn't focus on anything, as she heard the voices they came back in her mind taunting her again. The muffled voice radiated through her, in a flash of light she started to see unfamiliar faces, images, places, people... and strange eyes.. they were all glaring down at her, skeptical, scorning and painfully calculating. Did she know who they were? She saw her younger self, being ridiculed and picked on by some kids.. A little boy with strange golden hair popped out of nowhere.. Saving her from them and fell receiving their beating, for her.

She sees her little self carefully hiding behind the shadows, watching the little boy always. Her heart clenched as she saw the boy's situation, how and why he was shunned by people. Hatred.. All of them showered hatred.. And the boy didn't even know why he was hated. The little girl kept watching him timidly, and slowly gaining confidence by watching him.. The Hokage pranks that he pulled in his class, his sexy jutsu that drives the sensei to nosebleed. The way he made the whole class burst into laughter every times he pulls a sloppy version of Kage Bunshin and the way he gets yelled at by a sensei in the class for that. Hinata felt that somehow, she belonged there.

She felt a spark in her heart as the image of the little boy's whiskered face, adorned with wide and broad cheeky smile. Her heart seemed to relax as she saw it, what did that smile has in it? Is it magic? No.. All that can be seen from that smile is the 32 teeth of that boy flashing brightly.. Beaming with rays as the sun that warms the heart washing the calamity in her heart in a jiffy.. Why did she felt this way?

I DON'T GO BACK ON MY WORDS.. THAT'S MY NINJA WAY!

She snapped her head aside looking around as she heard the voice ringing back in her head again. Surprised took her when she heard a softer voice..

Even when you always fail.. In my eyes.. You're a proud failure! When I look at you I get an intense feeling in my heart.. Because you are not perfect.. Because you fail.. You have the strength to get back up, because I believe that's what true strength is.. I.. I think you are an incredibly strong person Naruto-kun..

She choked her breath in her throat. It was her voice! The ex-Hyuuga was stunned and confused. For some reason, she felt her heart skipping a beat when she heard the squeaky voice of a little boy, once again.

Thanks Hinata.. earlier I was feeling uncharacteristically depressed but.. NOW I FEEL GREAT! You know, about you, I ..

Huh?

..thought you were.. a plain looking, dark, weirdo.. but.. a person like you. I really like!

Widening her eyes, she clasped her hand over her slightly gaped lips, the woman stumbled on her own steps. She buckled her legs as her they grew weaker, by the second it gave in the ex-Hyuuga dropped down on her knees.

'wh-what's going on.. what is this?' her mind pondered over as the memories of her haunting past flashed through.

The beast stumbling over and over again, losing her strength she kept on escaping from the priest. He was calling out to her, but it went unheard. She fought the priest using the remaining power she has and now she was gradually slipping out of her transformation. It must've have been the sword, but what puzzled the priest is that, with her last transformation she was able to revert back after coming in contact with his divine spells. But now none of them worked on her, he doubted that something was up. Naruto was supported by Sasuke; all three of them followed the beast.

The beast fell into the river as Seimei approached her, she snarled as he reached out to her. Howling and sneering at him she made animalistic sounds of pain as she held her throbbing head. The beast stabbed Seimei in his abdomen to get away from him but she missed the target. She slipped under his arm and hopped off the water to the land fluidly.

"UUu.. uuuuuu….oooooOOOOOOAAAAAAA!" she moaned and groaned holding her head flipping it aside, the beast pulled and tossed the piece of metal that burrowed into her chest.

"Weird.." Sasuke commented as he landed on his feet beside Seimei supporting Naruto.

"This is a crisis.. We couldn't risk hurting her because the attacks are seemed futile on her, and it injures both her and Naruto.." The Uchiha said in conclusion.

"I-is that sword is K-Kusanagi?" the panting priest asked Sasuke.

The Uchiha frowned and nodded without any giving the priest any verbal answer. Seimei looked at her and said, "that sword is said to have supernatural powers.. Hinata-sama must be fighting hard..".

'But why isn't she turning back? Then.. it must be.. (!)' Seimei snapped his head around as he realized something.

Before either two of them noticed Naruto clasped his hands and popped into multiple shadow clones after yelling, "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!".

I know.. I'm.. just being selfish.. I'm here of my own free will..

The beast roared in tears as the irritating voice kept ringing in her ears once again. She went berserk as she attacked the clones busting through the army of Naruto clones popping them one by one with her claws.

"Hinata stop! HINATA!" Naruto yelled chasing her.

"RRRAAAAAAAOOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!" the beast roared to frighten the young blonde again as he dodged her advances to attack him.

The Uzumaki roared the jutsu's name as he threw a rasen-shuriken at her. The transforming beast ducked down avoiding the attack but she twirled to her back and stabbed her claws into the 'rasen-shuriken' which transformed into one of Naruto's clones. She busted through the smoke as the clone puffed away.

"Shit.." Naruto muttered as his plan faltered.

Naruto launched himself at her as she expertly dodged all his kunais that he threw to pin her down. The woman fought equally and stumbled occasionally due to her throbbing head; she recovers quickly much Naruto's surprise.

The Hokage whipped his head around searching for the woman who vanished from his side in a blink. Then suddenly just when he sensed her presence, Naruto hissed as she scraped his back with her clawed fingers. She disappeared and re-appeared in his sight swiftly and hazily the woman twirled in action, she scratched the blonde to bleed not even letting a single area of his tanned skin left uninjured. Naruto gritted his teeth as pinning pain started to arise from all over his body.

I used to always cry and give up..

He heaved heavily as he moved dodging her claws away, from time to time as she flew again to his side. The blonde noticed her bleeding body, injured exactly the way he was as he grabbed her wrist and swung her around smashing her against the ground. Yet the woman recoiled from the land and hoped to the atmosphere giving the blonde a kick over his jaw. The blonde closed his eyes as he fell to the ground.

Seimei who realised someone's presence behind the shadows of the dark and dense forest of the night, he already knew that Hinata was at her limit. The strength of dark energy insides her had sprouted her fear a little to harbour in her body for a prolonged period, consuming her vital energy like a parasite. Unless the source of the dark forces is nearby here somewhere, that energy would not be able to stay in her body for that long. Seimei knew she would collapse soon, if they were too late.. As time flies by from now it is, can be said that they are far from saving her. She could fall anytime soon, once she does.. That could be the end of her. She is already surrounded by the fear of darkness in her heart, there is only one way to bring her back from that place..

If only that person he was looking for was here, if he was here. All of this would be a piece of cake to him. Perhaps the reason he couldn't find that person is because he hadn't awakened yet?

Seimei yelled at Naruto who suddenly collapsed down to the earth, "NARUTO! Capture her! Hinata-sama is dying!".

'and that's what the Black Queen wants..' Seimei gritted his teeth as his thoughts echoed in his mind.

"You might need me kid" Kyubi said from the back of his mind.

'wha? Butt out stupid fox..' Naruto said as he focused back onto the fleeing beast.

Tossing a popcorn into its mouth with drooped eyes the nine-tails commented, "obviously your speed doesn't match hers..".

'Argh, fine, shut up and give me the chakra! I am dying here how you can enjoy popcorn on your own? Give me that too!' Naruto yelled back at the fox.

"Chuckles.. Stupid kid." the fox disappeared in spiral smokes as its echoing chuckles died down.

A spurt of energy emerged from the seal on his abdomen quickly immersed Naruto in golden light shroud around the blonde's body as he ran. The golden Hokage leaped and vanished into thin air, he appeared in hazy form before her as she halted sensing his presence. The beast twirled and dodged as Naruto launched each of his kicks and punches perfectly like a skilled combater.

They moved fluidly in the air, flying around in a mixture of bright red and golden glow over the atmosphere clashing against one another. Naruto was amazed at her ability to fight in that mode which had evened him out in his Kyubi mode.

She had eliminated the two shadow clones that Naruto formed to capture her from behind. He was puzzled as she moved as if she knew where the attack would be next as if she reads his mind, then a smirk appeared over his face as he caught the slipping form of her. He attempted to trap her using his chakra string to which she easily freed herself from using her claws to cut them up.

"she's been reading our scent from the air.. that's how she predicts where we are.." Kyubi analysed.

'And so.. No surprise attacks, targeting straight to the bull's eye!' Naruto's mind concluded, "Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and he formed thousands of shadow clones to capture her.

Unknown to them, there was a being lurking in the shadows of the thick forest watched Naruto and the others as they struggled to bring the ex-Hyuuga to sane. She smirked evilly, licking her lower lip..

"... Haha.. How deliciously handsome you look, Shouhei.. It makes me want to devour you right here and now.. But, I cant take a man who's not even strong enough to defeat a puppet like that bitch.."

The woman paused and eyed the possessed woman in beast form who was struggling against Naruto clones.

"But before that.. You must kill that bitch.. Until then, I can wait.. Because you'll have no choice.. Kill her before she kills you.. Chuckles".

The woman who sat on top of a tree watched as the next scene that took place, silently with a greedy, vicious look in her eyes.

The beast roared and punched the shadow clones through her way, hoping away from the Naruto clones. She ended up being cornered at a cliff where she attempted to jump in. Thousands of Naruto clones who were chasing her ended up falling into the dense river water with her. Upon falling unguardedly the clones burst out into smoke leaving the original Naruto lose the sight of her.

I nearly went the wrong way..

His heart beat echoed through his eardrum, he was nervous and excited at the same time. His eyes searched for the woman as she suddenly vanished right before his eyes just after the fall. The blonde finally dived into the water, swimming in to find where she had gone to. As he dove deeper his heart called for her more frantically, he hoped so much to find her.

The woman he was looking for drowning deeper and deeper. Her body floated as the current of the dense river had increased. It was washing both of them to the direction where the huge waterfall was, fighting the stronger water current Naruto reached out his hand and grabbed the woman and tried to hang onto a something to avoid being killed from the fall. Seimei hoped his way towards them over the slippery boulders of rocks.

"Here Naruto! Hang on!" Seimei offered his staff for the Uzumaki to hold on to it as the priest and Sasuke dragged them.

But you.. You showed me the right way..

He pulled Hinata to the ground with him as she struggled against his hard grip on her. Naruto didn't let her free but ended up forcing her against the land strangling her flaying arms with his, he tried to control her movements and stop her escaping from him again.

"AAAUUUAUUAAAAAAAAAA! UUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!", losing her monstrous strength against him the woman began to yowl again like a wolf, flipping her head to the sides.

Naruto cringed at her loud wailing and yelled her name, "Hinata! Hinata! Its me! Look at me! Hinata!".

As he yelled and yelled the woman didn't stop wriggling and she continued to scream in his grip against the wet ground.

Seimei who frowned looking at them whispered to Sasuke, "she's still hadn't calmed down.. she's still possessed..".

Sasuke glanced at the priest and mumbled, "hn.. she looks pretty hard to control.".

Both Seimei and Sasuke gasped to see what Naruto did next with widened eyes. Hinata stopped her wailing and scuffling in an instant when Naruto freed a hand and slapped the girl her right on the cheek. She stared dumbstruck at the Uzumaki who had finally calmed her. Naruto loosened his grip on her and straightened himself, getting off her. The girl stared straight at him as their gaze remained unbroken. Naruto flinched when he saw crystal clear liquid leaking down from the corner of her now milky eyes which transformed completely. His frown deepened into a saddened scowl as he began to approach her closely.

The girl slowly lifted her hand and touched the stinging cheek which was slapped just now, and looked at Naruto with teary eyes. While the Hokage became panicky his lips quivered as he began to mumble his apology. The girl slapped his wrist away as he moved an inch closer to touch her. She pouted her lips and began to cry like a child as Naruto tried to console her.

"H..Hinata.. I didn't mean t-t-to do th-that, I-I am sorry.." Naruto stuttered.

I was always chasing you.. Wanting to overtake you..

Her head continued to throb painfully more than her cheek, she rubbed her swollen eyes and moved away from him, she paced backing away as he approached closer to her, deeply grumbling as the voices she hears echoed through her ear drums. She began to run faster and farther away from him. Naruto followed behind her and apologized to her like a mad man. Seimei watched them seriously not understanding why Hinata was avoiding the mere close contact of the blonde, while Sasuke who found the situation a bit funny stifled himself from chuckling loudly. Seimei threw the shivering Uchiha a curios and sceptical glance and glared fiercely. From there Sasuke made a mental note this guy is more serious than what he looks.

"Hinata listen to me please! Don't run! Hinata STOP!" the blonde yelled as he chased after her.

I just wanted to walk with you.. I wanted to be with you..

Before the spectators realized she was there right in front of them, the both of them stared at her in shock. She didn't move an inch for about 60 seconds; she looked as if she froze just at the moment Naruto yelled at her to stop. Curios, Sasuke moved his hand to touch her fangs to make sure it was real or fake, by the second he was about to touch she snapped in anger and he abruptly moved his finger away from her lips before he loses it permanently. Naruto pulled the girl who began to attack Sasuke, against him.

Hinata blinked looking at him and sniffed with teary eyes again. Naruto knew that she was trying to escape from him using his weakness, but he held her closer to him as she struggled against him. He stayed calm even if she was blowing her head off, he gritted his teeth as he watched, anger and vengeance rose as he mentally sworn that he would find the person who did this to her.

You changed me! Your smile saved me!

Holding her wrists he subdued her by embracing her. The possessed woman wailed and whined at him to somehow escape from him as the voice kept on ringing in her head, Sasuke who was a bit shaky stopped trembling as his fear descended, he notices a strong menacing dark aura being emitted by Seimei, the priest wasn't paying attention to the surrounding, his glare was fixed onto Naruto. Sasuke quirked a brow and directed his attention to the Uzumaki blond.

So I'm not afraid to die protecting you!

Slowly and faintly few strokes of pink coloured the Uchiha's cheeks when he looked at them. Naruto had pulled the wounded girl closer as she began to scream and crying out aloud, he leaned closer and shushed the girl up with planting a silent kiss on her lips.

Because I~~.. Love you…

Naruto opened his eyes wider when he heard the loud voice which was ringing into her head. Where did he hear that? He stared down at the woman's soul-less and spiritless eyes. He had no idea what she had been thinking, but the woman in his arms seemed lost somewhere deeper in between her consciousness being suffocated with her re-launching memories. Is this what she had been thinking all the time they were fighting? How can he hear thoughts? Can he read minds? Or is it some kind of telepathy?

The milky white eyes of the recently revived Black Queen widened as she witnessed what had the blonde done to the 'puppet' that she created to destroy her enemies. Her lips quivered as she stared petrified looking at them. Her body began to tremble in fear as she watched, she heaved deep breaths in and out uncontrollably. Did she take the wrong step? She had purposely placed a curse on the woman who released her from that seal once she knew that it was Hinata. She had her transformed her into an ugly, ruthless puppet in order to destroy those who sides to light. She thought he wouldn't dare to touch a woman in that hideous form.. but how did this happen? She failed to realise something important that exists in the heart of the man for Hinata..

'How could you Shouhei.. how could you kiss a beast in that ugly form? NO NO NO NOOOO!'

"no no no no NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOO~~~~!" she yelled pressing her head.

The trapped woman was slowly being released from the darkness that was choking her calm and sane mind. She began to tremble as one of her many memories came plunging into her brain involuntarily.

She saw thousands of ninjas fighting in a ruined place which looked like a battlefield. Bodies of white beings lye on the ground everywhere and she were fighting in it. It looked like a war was taking place, two people and huge monster with a lot of eyes attacking them head on. She saw her team mates being injured, and the woman watched as the girl who looked like in her in her teens searched for a certain boy frantically. Her heart skipped a beat when she witnessed the golden haired boy protecting a certain pink haired girl from being attacked by a dark haired boy.

Flashback Starts

She collapsed to her feet as she saw what was taking place. Sakura ran into both Uchiha and Uzumaki to protect her blonde team mate from her long time crush. Naruto instead had taken the blow of Chidori as he launched in high speed towards the Uchiha. She saw both of the team mates supporting each other as they fought the one who turned into a rogue ninja. Sakura's punch breaks the earth crust into shredded blocks directing the humongous blow of her chakra towards the Uchiha to subdue him. With one leap Sasuke landed behind her and stabbed the kunoichi in her back with his Kusanagi.

Hinata horrified and stricken with shock she ran towards the falling pinkette's side together with Ino. She suddenly halted in her track as she saw Naruto's tearful cry of Sakura's name. Without a question both Ino and Hinata healed the Haruno as Naruto was fighting his rival and friend Uchiha Sasuke. Naruto finally reaching his goal fought Sasuke with all his might, he lay limp over the ground breathlessly, while the Uchiha was on the other side. Sakura who was treated by them ran towards the blonde once she gained her consciousness. Hinata's heart clenched as she witnessed the Haruno's sobs, Ino was over at Sasuke's side, while all the others gathered around them. The Hyuuga was kneeling in front of the blonde, as her tears cascaded down to her cheeks hitting the black sandal over at his feet.

"NARUTO!" Sakura suddenly startled everyone when she cried his name.

Hinata snapped her head up to witness what she never imagined would happen before her eyes. Tears of relief and joy filled her eyes as she watched her long standing love hugged his fellow female team mate in his arms tightly. The girl silently stood up from her crouching position and spun around walking away from them.

'Thank you for being alive Naruto-kun..' her mind whispered tenderly as she wiped her tears.

She was relieved that he was alive, despite the odd pinning pain in her heart.. She smiled. The girl walked away with a bright gentle smile on her face leaving the group alone, letting team 7 have their moment of re-union, together welcoming the pain of injuries of the war. Now the 4th Shinobi war would be only remembered through history and scars on her body.

.::.

"Thank you Hinata-san" her patient said.

Kiba walked over to her after watching her for a while as she helped to tend the wounds of those who were injured in the battle over at the base of medical team camp over the village outskirts to treat the remaining villagers. She smiled politely as she tended one of the patients, after finishing the bandage she was working over their wound she offered them the specially prepared herbal tea that she was working on.

"Please don't mention it. It's the only thing I can do now.. Here, please have this tea Takeru-san.." She offered him the tea.

"Oi.." Hinata spun around as Kiba called out to her.

She smiled brightly as she greeted her team mate, "Oh! Ohayo, Kiba-kun.. What brings you here?".

He folded his arms over his chest and looked at her with a gravely serious stare, she eyed the big fluffy dog beside him which whined at her.

"Kiba-kun?-" she was cut in her sentence.

"Come out. I need to have a moment with you." He walked away leaving a surprised and confused Hyuuga.

She left the camp excusing herself from her duty from Shizune and followed the Inuzuka. He stopped walking once he reached over at the middle of a clearing. She looked at him expectantly as he glanced at her over his shoulder. Sighing inwardly the Inuzuka turned to face her, his glare was affixed to her.

She came to notice the building tension in the air as his stare intensified, "K.. Kiba-kun, is something wrong?" she asked.

He looked at her and asked her, "Hinata.. What's wrong with you?".

"Eh?" his question took her by surprise..

Hinata began to sweat heavily as she heard the Inuzuka began, "you rarely hang out with us nowadays.. Ino was talking about how absent minded you were in your medical training, Ten Ten said you ruined her favourite kunai in a practice, you nearly poisoned Akamaru by buying him cat-food, you forgot to bring poor Chouji the promised bento and he starved for one whole hour of the training, you surprisingly defeated Shikamaru in the Shougi board game that made him sulk for a day.. And what not, you switched Sasuke's favourite cuddly pillow with another patient's Bugs bunny, Neji said that you forgot to wake him up for his date and Shino was worried about you too.. You even accidentally burned Kakashi sensei's favourite porn book while baking a cake".

Hinata widened her eyes and stuttered, "Th-that wasn't me..".

"Oh! Yeah! Sorry, that was Kurenai sensei.." he said scratching his head.

"Hinata, what happened to you? Are you okay?" he asked her as worry etched on his gentler tone of voice.

She was startled by his questioned and her heart pained realizing that she made so many of her friends worrying over her. She didn't want to burden them, this was the least she could do now. She didn't speak openly to anyone about her feelings and this was getting her nervous.

The Hyuuga stuttered her apology, "a.. a, I-I am s-sorry Kiba-kun!"

She bowed to Akamaru and apologized while the dog whined softly, "I-I am so-sorry Akamaru-kun I didn't.. I m-mean I d-didn't n-noticed i-it was c-cat food.. I a-am sorry I w-worried you.. !".

'Gasp!'

Hinata sucked her breath in her throat when she felt Kiba's strong calloused hands gripping her shoulders, hardly. He stopped her from rambling on and on apologizing over her mistakes.

"Hinata.. calm down.." he said softly.

She breathed in and stared to her feet stuttering a little, "I.. I am okay now, Kiba-kun. I apologies for making you worry..".

The Inuzuka pulled her face up to make her meet his gaze, "Drop the act Hinata.. We all know you're not okay..".

Her words of protests stuck into her throat as he continued, "Let it all out.. Don't keep it hurting you from the inside, I'll be here with you so.. I'll hear it all out.".

Her lips quivered as her face flushed red in colour. Her face began to contort and she quickly looked away, ducking her head hiding face under the veil of indigo blue hair. Her little trembling hands were clutching Kiba's shirt on his chest. The girl shivered her soft sobs. The suppressed tears finally came out.. He didn't even need to ask why. Honestly who wouldn't get hurt if the one they loved and admired for the longest time finally belonged to the other? She tried her best hiding it in for months now. Sakura noticed it but she wasn't ready to confront the Hyuuga about it, Naruto was happy and that is all the Hyuuga wanted, the pink haired kunoichi knew.

"Hic… Hic.. (gasp).. (sniffle).. h.. I.. C-couldn't.." her quivering voice broke.

She gulped down a sob as she stuttered as she clutched her eyes tightly closed, "I.. I k-know I must b-but.. I c-couldn't.. f-for-forget.. Those feelings.. I, t-tried b-but I c-couldn't.. Wh-why, do-does it h-hurts so m-much?".

Kiba choked his words in, he gritted his teeth as she slumped her head on his chest, her sobs were now turning violent and somewhat loud, "I.. d-don't k-know wh-what to do an-anymore.. I- c-couldn't f-forget.." she sobbed.

"Then don't."

The Inuzuka and Hyuuga was startled by the voice, they looked over to their right to see two figures walking out from the forest, Neji looked straight into her eyes as he walked into the clearing.

He touched her cheek and said, "Then don't forget it, Hinata-sama." He smirked at her.

She widened her eyes as she saw Shino popped out saying, "We want our Hyuuga Hinata back.. she isn't the Hinata we know if she doesn't care for anyone, especially for Naruto."

She looked around as all of the rookies popped out one by one, surrounding her in the clearing. She saw Ino smiling at her and Sakura squeezed her shoulder gently and affectionately.

She widened her eyes as she saw a certain blonde haired man popped up and poked her face and asking her with a widespread smile.

"Can we have her back?"

End of Flashback

The woman opened her eyes and she was stunned as she saw what was before her eyes. A pair of prescient blues eyes stared down at her eagerly, affectionately. Her words and breath stuck in her throat as she noticed how close his face was to hers.

He stared into her soul begging her in his mind to return to him, 'Hinata.. Hinata.. look at me.. I need you, cant you hear me? Return to me, come back to us.. please..'.

Stunned by his move, her eyes widened in shock as she stared into his prescient blue eyes, the girl's struggles began to slow down and her voice died down. She flushed and turned into unhealthy red before she slipped into unconsciousness; the woman in his arms fainted and clung to the Uzumaki's shoulder limply, as she grew weaker in a sudden. Naruto felt her skin began to sizzle in heat, hot steams started to burst out from her. He felt the intensity of the heat and he held on to her even more tightly, never letting her go from him no matter how much it hurts him to hold onto her.

All the reasons evaporated in her heat, as he felt the surge of warmth through his body, the blonde closed his eyes and deepened his kiss forgetting the pain on his skin being burned by her heat wave. He felt triumphant as he sensed her slowly melting against his soft kisses, as he was lost in search for the true woman in her that he fell for. Unbeknownst to himself, he was drowned in love. The Uzumaki was taken over by the new desire to indulge the woman in his arms with his affection, to feel pride teasing her with his lips. It felt like an ethereal dream to him to have her in his arms hooked in an embrace, to be kissing her fervently, he was lost in the delirium. Sasuke hissed when he felt throbbing pain from all part of his body where he was attacked earlier, when he touched them he felt them closing up rather quickly, healed by the spreading pure light.

Seimei pulled himself together so that he could help Hinata to drive the evil spirit that possessed her out of her body now that Naruto had caught her, this should be easier. At the very moment the priest moved closer to them, he was pulled by a force towards them, the land under their feet began to crumble, Seimei's eyes were blinded by the sudden burst of bright light that was flashing through Hinata's body, it enveloped both her and Naruto together with Seimei. Sasuke watched in astonishment as all the three of them shone and glowed in bright flash of light in the night. The raw power was released from her small petite frame flashed through the widely to the whole forest, mirroring an explosion of light on earth right before his eyes. He covered his eyes and stays low over the ground as the furiously unleashed power died down.

The remaining light from the explosion adorned the source in small flashes of light that encircled around the ex-Hyuuga's body, blonde Hokage and also the priest's body as well. Hinata transformed back into her original body where Seimei had first found her, the only thing remaining on her body is the carving of the 1000 year's seal that seems missing on her face and neck, the seal covered her whole body in burnt orange colour letters. Seimei felt the heavenly warmth surrounding his soul protecting him from being engulfed by the night's darkness.

At that point, in that very moment, the priest re-opened his amber-coloured orbs which were blinded by light, he focused on to see through the light to find the answer he was looking for, before he finally realized he already knew the truth about the connection between himself and this stupid blonde..

Seimei's denial dissipated, as he heard a small whisper at the back of his mind which had answered his question.. 'ch.. . . chichi-ue.. s-sama!'.
