I don't own Naruto.
Chapter – Shit Gets Real
Hinata looked over her order and tapped the bell for the next order up. She'd been walking on clouds for days since Itachi began to express more of his feelings with her. She had gotten more of the book for her healing techniques and listing of herbs complete for Tsunade yet she didn't know Tsunade was going to make a surprise visit. When she didn't show on that Friday she really thought she was not coming.
"Well it looks like business is booming now."
The chill hit her spine like a bucket of ice cubes and her nerves rattled the sheet of paper in her hands.
"Tsu-tsu-tsunade Se-se-sensei."
Hinata turned orange.
"Yes. I left you a message on your phone. I suppose the book is here and complete? I've been waiting and I have run out of my good graces after giving you an extension.
Before she could answer her furious teacher, the door of the basement swung open and the epitome of sex strolled in with a mesh grey tank top. Beads around his muscular neck that hung close to his collar bone while his hair was parted messily in twp pieces, were unneccesary destractions for the God of lust. A high ponytail that didn't capture all of the hair around his facial line, taunted any woman to not try and peak at his lusciousness. The other half of his hair hung long midway his shoulder blades ; black and beautiful like an onyx stream. His biceps and triceps simply bulged in the shirt showing that his muscles were tight and strong. Slightly tanned almond butter skin glistened with a very sheer sheen of body oil or perspiration yet he smelled like the deep woods and husky pine. His black eyes were set first on Hinata before they shifted to the older woman with a tad too much make-up, more cleavage out than normal, and a body of a female wrestler.
Itachi gave the smile that made the women in the shop practically faint. Including Hinata.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Hinata for coming up like this but it was getting really hot down there, but I'm glad I came up…This beautiful woman must be your instructor and mentor. Right?"
Reaching out to take her hand he bowed to her slightly before laying a soft deliberate kiss to her hand to which her knees gave way and she shifted forward, almost toppling over the counter. The other women had to wipe drool from their mouths and fan themselves.
"Urhh…uhm…ye…yeah…." Hinata sputtered.
"It is truly a pleasure for me to hold the hand of not only a notable healer but a woman of such power. And might I say, you are simply gorgeous." With a thought of his woman in his head to give him a soft blush his soothing devils voice caressed Tsunade's ears putting her into his demonic trance.
"Uh,..Oh…Oh my." Tsunde felt a heat that rose from her lower core throughout her body causing her to pull her hand from him to cover her face and work on her breathing, since she was almost panting at this point.
"Well, I know you were to get the book, but it seems like I took some orders the other day and left it in my car that's bein worked on currently, so I'll have to take blame for her not having it,but if you give her till Friday of this week, I promise you she will have it done. Can she have a little bit longer…Please."
The puppy dog eyes were like the penetrating eyes of a panther on the prowl for a mistress and he batt his eyes slowly at her with a player's small grin. His lips lifted slightly revealing his white teeth and two women gulped down their drinks, while the others crossed their legs tightly and prayed.
"Urh…uh…su-sur-sure. Fr-Fri-Friday…" Tsunade whispered.
Itachi gave her a grand smile and reached over the counter to bestow upon her a hug that left her weak. He had to hold her up lest she hit the ground. The other women took another drink and frowned.
"Well thank you so much and we'll see you on Friday…Drive careful now…Okay."
Itachi released her with a small peck to her cheek as Tsunade stumbled out of the door not sure why she was on the street and trying to remember what was going on. When Itachi turned to look at Hinata she simply blushed.
Well, guess I have given us more time to work on the book. I hope you didn't mind. I felt your unease and well I had to come and help.
When he got in front of her she hugged him tightly.
Oh…you….I-I-I love you! Thank you so much Ita!
That's what couples do baby…
She looked up at him still rosy cheeked and he bent down to kiss her. When she felt the eager eyes of her audience she ducked back from him before stepping away crashing into the counter knocking her other tape and orders to the ground.
"Oh…uhm….yes…uhm…food…yes…so-so-so…sorry….wha-wha- what did you order?" Sweating from embarrassment, anxiety, and hornyness Hinata tried not to be so public with her feelings as Itachi chuckled and helped pick up the paper off the floor.
"I'll have a couple of him if he's on the menu." The woman stated. Itachi stood to his feet putting the items down by Hinata and hugging her tightly from behind.
"Sorry…She's got an order of me right now and dessert after work already and I'll need to super size her wants." With a playful kiss in her ear he released her to go to the basement yet materialized into the Null Dimension. Hinata simply stood at the counter red as a beet.

"What the hell are you doing you ass! He's over here!"
Naruto screamed at Kiba. The two-headed demon they chased was deep in the Null Forrest and the two of them had been working so well together they formed a team. Or something that resembled a team.
"There! There!" KIba shouted and Naruto took aim.
"Rasengan!"
The little sphere cut down trees and blew up but it's intended target suffered no wounds.
Tae-sho stood in the path and they both realized it was going to be trouble.
"I hear from sour vine that the two of you were healed by some abomination of the damned. Is that true?"
The two looked at each other.
"Nope." Naruto answered.
Tae-sho squint at him and cast a look at Kiba.
"I'll only ask once more slayer bitches…Where is the healer?"
"And we will simply say…UNH!"
The two were speared from behind by another demon. Raki, Tae-sho's newest subordinate. It's long arms burst through their bodies oozing it's venom into their bones. The duo screeched in pain before the thing tossed them down at Tae-Sho's feet like old baggage.
With his right foot Tae-sho stomped on Kiba's arm snapping it mid-way his forearm and he took one of the spears from his back and stabbed Naruto in his thigh. The two continued to scream in pain before the demon stepped back and asked again.
"Tell…me…what I need to know or else."
They knew if they were to say anything Hinata would be harmed and they decided to stay silent. However, in a bright flash that burned Tae-sho's eyes along with Raki the two vanished.
"Wha…What the fuck?!"
"Boss, where did they go?"
Tae-sho beat upon his chest angrily tearing up the trees and throwing them into the nearby Null village.
"I will find those slayers and the source of that light!"
"I sense it was demonic but I can't pinpoint who it was." Said Raki.
"So…it was a demon? Hmm….only the children of Satan can vanish like that."
"Yes, but which one? You know there are seven sins alone and each has had multiple sets of children."
"Come…we will find more slayers that we know. I have to find his realm. I have to find the healer if it's the last thing I do."
"Well sire, I have all my followers searching for the slayer. One as powerful as he should not be too hard to find. I'm sure we will get lucky soon."
"Yes…we will hit the jackpot, and I'll make sure I hit him with everything I got."

When Sasuke returned home with his girlfriend in tow he raced her to the bedroom flopping her down on the bed.
"I'll be right back….get naked."
He said running to the kitchen. When he opened the door he searched for whip cream, jam, and honey. As he ran back down the hall he stumbled over the bodies of the wounded slayers.
"What da Fuck!"
Not wanting to have to explain a pair of corpses, he raced into the bedroom.
"Look umm, somethings' come up besides my dick and it's even bigger so we'll have to put this on pause!"
Snatching her up, throwing a robe on he,r and actually picking her up to take her to the door, his girl didn't even see the bodies.
"Wha…?!" She tried to say but she was already in a car with the engine running and it was backing out with him kissing her on the neck.
"Call you later!"
In a blink he imprinted in her mind what she would or should remember in the next five minutes while running back in to address the carnage.
Gripping his hair, he was frantic as to what to do and how to move the slayers. He called for Itachi and in seconds his brother materialized.
"What the hell did you do?"
"ME? I didn't do anything they were just like here! I thought you had them over for tea or something."
Itachi recognized them quickly.
"I don't know where they came from but I have to kill them."
"What?"
"Yes, they have to die!"
Before he could conjure up Ameratasu, Sasuke jumped in front of him.
"Wait…these are slayers…You can't kill them. They're on your side."
"Yeah, maybe but I have to protect Hinata. They need her to heal them and I'm not having others learn of her whereabouts. It's too dangerous for her. And the fact they're just here is calls for my concern."
"No…something is telling me this is wrong. You wouldn't do this because it will only go badly for your sentence. You're not supposed to kill unless provoked and…"
"Listen, I know my punishment well, but I also know I just fell in love and no one or nothing is going to fuck with that, now move the hell out of the way"
Now in demon form, ITachi growled at Sasuke who could sense his anxiety, yet he knew what Itachi was going to do was wrong and Hinata wouldn't stand for it.
"Don't do this…What would Hinata do?"
"Move!"
"Itachi…she's blessed with healing for a reason…take them to her."
"Move damn it!"
Shoving him to the side he let a small flame start out on naruto's back causing the slayer to snap out of his unconscious ness due to the pain of being burned alive.
"Stop!" Sasuke yelled jumping on the flame trying to put it out.
"No Sasuke! It'll kill you too!"
"Then I suggest you uhn!"
The flame began to lap at Sasuke's flesh and Itachi immediately suppressed it. With a huge clap of his hands they were transported into the deli. Hinata jumped when they appeared due to the connection she had to Itachi and the turbulence in his spirit.
"Are you okay Miss?" One of the customers commented.
"Oh…uhm…yes, I uhm, need to check the basement."
Racing down the steps her heart thudded loudly as she heard the Uchiha brothers arguing fiercely though they were whispering.
"Ita! Sasuke! What happened to them?"
She immediately spotted the slayers and knelt down to start working on them.
"NO! Don't touch them yet, they're poisoned!" Screeched Itachi.
Snatching her up in his arms he held her tighter than normal.
"Let me go! You just need to take the venom out and…."
"That poison is from a decendant of Satan. It could turn me against you until I clear my system and I' haven't had enough blood."
"Then quit stalling and find out what's wrong with these two."
Said Sasuke while looking at his burned arm.
Hinata wiggled herself free and started to try and heal them. She could feel a tug on her soul and her body began to experience the sharp pains from the venom trying to seep into her own soul.
"The…the demonic…venom…it's it's trying to…to…"
"Let them die! Stop Hinata and let them die!"
Itachi said but he was cut off by Sasuke who knelt down in front of Hinata.
Naruto was to the left of her and Kiba lay to the right. Hinata had one hand out for each.
"Hel-help me Sasuke… I need your strength to sustain me and help clean their system since Itachi is unwilling to help."
She never made eye contact but her words set him off.
"What! You think I'm just being stubborn?! This is bigger than just us Hinata! I'm thinking of your well being and if you can't understand that then…"
"Look shut up so she can concentrate."
Sasuke said placing his hands on top of hers.
Itachi could feel the small tug of hurt from her in his spirit and he growled.
This is not good. We don't know who injured them but I have a bad feeling about all of this.
Please…I know you're afraid, but you must learn to trust me also. I have an instinct to heal them and…
"Ung! " She shrieked as the venom began to leak into her spirit. The poison had gripped her hand and Sasuke could feel it as if sweat was rolling out of his pores. He tried to break his connection with her but she went into a trance.
"Damn it!" Itachi yelled and in a flash Sakura and four other slayers appeared.
"What da…"
"Demon! You will no longer torment her soul!" Sakura said before she and the other slayers all attacked.
Sasuke stopped holding Hinata's hand and she fainted. When she went down Itachi went beast nuts.
"NO!" He screamed and it shook the basement and the store. The customers all were alarmed and some called for Hianta. The battle for her soul had begun as Hinata fought to keep the poison for possessing her. Itachi fought the slayers so he could help heal Hinata. When Hinata came in contact with the venom however, a piece of her soul was revealed to the one that had injected it.
"Tae-sho….I found her." Raki said.
"Good…get the others. It's time to kick that slayer's ass."
Raki sent out his mental command to the legion and all gathered in the Null Dimension, ready to descend upon the little deli.
Atuhor's Note: Well just try to imagine the rest. My schedule is brutal and working on this has come to a snails pace. I will try to keep it at least two weeks and not longer, but no promises. Oh yeah, the next chappie is really involved and long. I might just cut it into two. But enjoy this and ponder...Spoiler for those who care...There are more slayers with Sakura from the other teams...Hint, Hint. Chao!
