"You're right Hinata-chan. Let's make a promise. We'll all get stronger to protect each other."
"I promise Naruto-kun."
After Naruto and Hinata's bonding moment, Hinata went fast asleep as fatigue caught up with her. She was sleeping blissfully unaware of Naruto ogling her as if he was trying to see what was going on inside her head. 'Her confession keeps playing over and over in my head...'
IN HINATA'S MINDSCAPE
Hinata sat down on the grass with her legs crossed and her eyes closed not facing the cage that resided with her tenant. She knew what she did was a bad thing, to steal the chakra under the influence of anger but it was needed to be done. She ignores Luna's requests of her to turn around to face her.
'Pup, please turn around and look at me.'
Hinata shook her head vigorously like a child that is about to be scolded by their parents.
'Pup...' Luna said threateningly. Hinata still did not budge.
Hinata eyes widened in fear as a burst of wind hit her back and heard the sounds of a rattling chain approach her. Angry footsteps were dangerously getting closer and she mentally flinched at the oncoming storm her bijuu will set upon her.
A fist came down on Hinata's head. Hard.
"ITAI!" Hinata screamed clutching her head.
'Look at me when I'm talking to you!'
Her jailor looked up at her with tear stricken eyes as she clutched her head.
'What you did back there was stupid! Don't use my chakra like that, pup! It's too dangerous.'
"G-Gomen L-L-Luna-san. I d-didn't know! P-Please forgive me!" Hinata said close to tears.
Luna sighed in irritation not used to the ignorance of a child. 'My chakra should not be used for sinister things, Hinata.'
The girl tipped her head at her in confusion with tears still wet on her cheeks not understanding what she meant. "But why?" The bijuu in her human form sat down to face Hinata, she run a hand through her long crystal white locks in deep thought.
'While using my chakra, pup, you killed someone intentionally.'
Hinata flinched at the ice cold tone Luna used while she said that, not being used to it as she using has a warm voice. She also grimaced at herself, she had killed another human being, someone who has been breathing, someone who was born, someone that was walking on God's fine earth. "B-B-But... I... umm d-d-don't understand..."
'Us Bijuu were not always "evil" as people call us. We were or still are harmless creatures until you humans sought us out to hunt us. We didn't do anything but run for a while, we did not want to hurt you but some of us grew... angry towards humans. A growing hatred brewing in some of us, this is what caused their chakra to become a bit darker than it was. Until one day... a large mob of humans cornered us, I and four of us ran away while the other five that were angry stayed to fight them. They killed them. So... many. This is what caused their chakra to become sinister and evil. Now when the humans found a way to seal us into them it was like an insult. The evil chakra of my brethren was feared but because of that the humans put us all into the category of evil. Pup, my chakra isn't evil. It's just the most powerful but you harnessing it to kill will change the nature of it. It will become much harder to control if you do not use it properly. I'm angry because I don't want you to be consumed by evil, you could hurt yourself and worse. Others.'
Hinata stared at her tenant with sad eyes, tears fearing to fall. She did not want to cause grief or struggles but because of her actions and not thinking she could make things so bad. She felt a cold shiver down her spine.
'You feel it don't you? The nature of this place changing already, look at some of the flowers.' Luna got up to walk around with Hinata in tow. As they were walking around the field of Hinata's mindscape, she pointed out several shrivelled up dead flowers. 'You did this, pup. I'm not saying that to make you feel guilty, I'm saying it make you think. Think before you do things. I do not know if it's your "'Ruto-kun" making you go into things head first, but that is not the way to go about things, understand?'
Hinata's cheeks flushed as Luna said that Naruto was "hers." However she disagreed that it was Naruto's influence, in that moment she wanted to protect her friends. 'I'd sell my soul to the Devil himself if it means to protect the ones closest to me.'
'Don't sell your soul, pup.'
Hinata jumped. Did she just...? No, she could not have had.
'We are in your mindscape, your thoughts are loud and clear.' The woman barked out laughing like that had been the joke of the century. She wiped a tear and gave a low howl of amusement. Hinata had crossed her arms in irritancy she hated to be laughed at, it felt worse that she was being laughed at a being INSIDE of her. 'No need to sulk, pup, you're more mature than that.'
Something had been bugging Hinata for the longest of time. "Why do you keep calling me pup?"
'It's common for us Wolves or any sort of a canine nature to call their young.' Luna said in a matter of fact tone, like Hinata was stupid.
The girl blanched at the seemingly most powerful and unknown bijuu of all time. 'What? Do you want me to stop calling you that?' Hinata nodded without hesitation, it's not like she didn't appreciate that she was "part of the pack" but she felt like an Inuzuka and that was weird. 'Tough. I'm not going to stop.' The tailed beast in her human form barked out laughing again.
Hinata looked at her incredulously."Do you love laughing at your own jokes?"
'Hey. I have been trapped in here for twelve years. You get bored.' This time Hinata barked out laughing mimicking her tenant's laugh. It wasn't intentional but it just seemed to happen naturally, she stopped laughing and blushed heavily as she caught herself in an unnatural moment.
'Pup. It's time to be serious. When you stole my chakra you damaged the seal to a point where it cannot be repaired.'
Instantly the girl went into panic mode asking a fusillade of questions at Luna. "What do I do? Am I going to die? Is there a way this can be reversed? Are you sure it can't be repaired? What's going to happen to me? Are you going to be okay Luna-san? Are you going to get hurt?" Luna sighed at the girl's antics. She really needs to get over that habit of asking a load of questions when she's panicked.
'Nothing. No. No. Yes. I'll tell you. I will. No.'
The ex Hyuga Heiress visibly relaxed and waited for the almighty beast wolf in her human form to speak. It still felt weird to her, the most powerful bijuu of all time, resided within her and yet she's having somewhat normal conversations with it. She shook away those thoughts and listened intently to her tenant.
'What will happen is that you'll go through this change. A physical change and maybe personality wise too.'
"Could you be specific Luna-san?" Her voice was filled with unease as she did not like where this was going.
'For example, your teeth will get more canine like but not enough for it to be noticeable. It will be extremely sharp than normal human teeth. Your sense of smell will be heightened, you will be able to smell far away as well as picking up scents to follow and sometimes smell scents that have lingered for days. Also, your hearing will be heightened. You could pick up the faintest of footsteps, the rhythm of someone's heartbeat, this might be overwhelming because you are unable to control what you want to hear if you focus enough so you'll need training for that. Your... appetite, will want to be more meat based. It will be much harder to appease your hunger, when I say meat preferably raw meat will satisfy your hunger, so I would recommend you go hunting, I will guide you. Your hair will be much wilder but it will keep it's natural colour however when you use my chakra it will go jet black, also there will be a patch of white hair to signify you're connected to me. I'm sure you have noticed that the slightly lavender tint in your eye has always been there now it will be much darker and noticeable. Ah, one thing I forgot to mention is your scent, to other animals you will smell like a wolf, a predator so do not be alarmed if most animals will not take to you first time. You might also attract unwanted potential mates... like your Inuzuka friend. He has always been interested in you without knowing why but now it will be more of a primal instinct. Personality wise, you'd be quicker tempered. You'll be more eager to try things, and maybe get a little up to mischief. You could bond with that with your "Naruto-kun" wouldn't you agree?'
For the most part, Hinata had been terrified of what is going to happen to her with this change that will happen. She had been scared of anyone noticing her physical change of appearance, she had been scared of Kiba giving more hints of him wanting to "mate", she had been scared of attracting unwanted to attention, she had been scared of losing her temper as it was already a problem before the mention of change but all those fears had quickly dispersed with the mention of Naruto's name. A warm pool spread across her cheeks and she smiled slightly to herself, she could have more confidence around the one she loves, the one she admires, the one she needs to keep in her life selfishly. He will be hers.
After taking a deep breath calming her nerves. "Luna-san... when will this change happen."
'In a few minutes.'
"NANI!?" Her eyes widened in horror.
'Don't be surprised but it should occur in a few minutes or so. It's a full moon, us wolves become restless and these types of changes occur on full moon. Pup, I'm not going to lie to you, it will hurt. I'd advise you to wake up and take yourself somewhere away from your teammates.'
Bright Hyuga eyes had snapped open, it was still dark out and she felt the brewing pain welling up inside her. She saw that Naruto was still on watch, she didn't know how long she had been "sleeping" but at this moment she did not care, she got up from her sleeping bag to leave the area.
"'Nata-chan, where are you going?"
Freezing in her spot and stuttering out a response without looking at her object of affection. "T-T-T-T-To... I n-n-need to... a-a-ano... pee!" With that she sprinted far into the forest. Naruto blushed and shook his head, thinking that Hinata can be weird sometimes.
Meanwhile Hinata was feeling very hot, and in pain. Her temperature had skyrocketed to the point where she had started stripping her clothes, she was clawing at her face suppressing a scream erupting from her throat. Pulling at her hair at the intense interior pain she growled slightly, even with the excruciating pain she paused. 'Did... did I just growl?' After the thought the pain had somewhat doubled and she was kicking and violently thrashing on the floor like someone was attacking her. Her hair started to frizz, her gums started to hurt as her teeth were growing sharp rapidly, her nails elongated, her senses were heightening to a point where she was overwhelmed. She looked up to see the full moon, the irony of how she was some sort of werewolf changing due to the full moon. She started feeling dizzy from the pain, her Byakugan activated on its own and her field of vision increased ten times more than what it was originally. She closed her eyes at the overwhelming pain struck in her eyes, her muscles ached, her skin felt like it was on fire, then she did something that she never thought she would do. She howled.
Naruto jumped at the howl and grew concerned for Hinata. If there was a wolf roaming around he'd want her to be safe, he was going to go to her but shook his head. He was still on watch and Hinata was a kunoichi, she could take on a measly wolf any day.
Hinata eyes slowly opened as the pain subsided, feeling like a different person. Looked down at herself and blushed madly, she was stark naked and she searched for her clothes, as she was putting on her clothes she felt so different. It was like she was in a different body she wondered if this is how Yamanaka's felt when they do their Mind Transmission Jutsu. Her stomach rumbled. She was hungry, she made her way back to camp and noticed Naruto staring at her with concern.
"You were gone for a long time, I was starting to worry."
She flushed. "A-A-Aaah... okay... gomen for... m-making you worry."
He stared at for a minute taking note of her appearance. He noticed that her hair was wilder but he concluded it as bed head. Her eyes were more dark purple around the iris of her eyes, he tilted his head observing her. He doesn't know why she just seemed different that normal, he shrugged it off and went to sleep as it was Hinata's turn for a watch.
Hinata could feel his intense stare, analysing every feature she had. She blushed heavily at it but didn't say nothing as she didn't want him to ask any questions. The wind blew and Naruto's scent invaded Hinata's nose, she inhaled deeply and then her whole body spasmed in ecstasy.
He smelled good.
She didn't know why. It wasn't that she wanted to eat him but his natural scent minus the lingering ramen was to die for.
'It's because you see him as your mate.'
Hinata still not being used to a voice randomly popping up in her head jumped slightly and gave a yelp. Naruto asked if she was okay and she could only blush and nod dumbly.
"If you say so-ttebayo. I'm going to sleep."
She watched him curl up in his sleeping and quickly fall asleep without any issues. She could hear rhythm of his breathing as she was solely focusing on it, not caring about the other things around her environment.
'Luna-san what did you mean about me seeing him as my "mate"?'
'Pup. What I mean is that you see him as the one you want to be with for the rest of your life. The one you want to bare children with, he's the one you need in your life.'
Hinata blushed wildly and twiddled her fingers, it was true, she did in fact want all those things but the only problem was that Naruto did not feel the same. According to her. She stared at his sleeping face, calm and relaxed, his wild blond hair sprawled out on his pillow, and she smiled softly to herself and wished him sweet dreams.
THE NEXT MORNING
"OHAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-TTEBAYO!"
Naruto's voice echoed through the forest, he felt a huge sword at his neck and it was Zabuza who looked visibly irritated.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't cut you down, gaki?"
The threatened Uzumaki swallowed his saliva. "B-Because I'm going to be Hokage-ttebayo...?"
Zabuza only stared at him, his glare intensified and he moved his sword as if he was actually going to strike Naruto.
"Z-Z-Zabuza-san!"
Both of the boys looked at Hinata who had tears in her eyes, her hair was just as messy as last night. Zabuza grunted and put down his sword and grumbled like an old man, where as Naruto was thanking Hinata for saving his life. Kakashi watched this interaction with an eye-smile and shook his head at their antics. "Get ready, everyone. We're almost home." Everyone had packed up their stuff and started to move towards the village, Naruto twitched. 'We're missing something...'
Hinata looked back to where they had camp, she sweatdropped. "Shikamaru-kun..."
Everyone looked at Shikamaru's sleeping figure and also sweatdropped. Naruto growled at the laziness of his teammate and marched over to him, bent down with a clear face of irritancy. "WAKE UP-TTEBAYO!" Shikamaru sat up so fat he ended up head butting Naruto who fell back on his behind.
"Itai!" Shikamaru groaned and rubbed his forehead.
"Te-Te-Te-Te." Naruto held onto his head in pain and started shouting at Shikamaru pointing out that it was his fault and the lazy boy lazily retaliated to the accusation.
Hinata giggled behind her hand at what just transpired her teammates are so silly sometimes, but she loved the both of them for who they were.
VILLAGE GATES
The journey way back was smooth and calm, nothing special had really happened. Hinata and Shikamaru were chatting about going back to their parents and Naruto was pestering Kakashi about doing another mission similar to the one that they had. Zabuza who had Haku on his back looked around at the rather up-spirited village and how different it was from the Village Hidden in the Waves. He turned to Kakashi who was doing a great job in ignoring the blond haired genin. "Kakashi-san..."
"Hai, Zabuza-san?" He replied with an eye-smile.
This ticked off Naruto.
"Are you sure your village will accept me? If they won't please make sure they accept Haku... he needs a place like this." He said with his face unchanging of emotion.
Kakashi stared at him and shook his head. "Even though it would be good for Haku to be here, he'd be even better as long as he's with you. How are you supposed to protect him if he's not with you?"
Zabuza snickered and didn't fault what Kakashi said, he continued to admire the village he was in and thanked the gift he had received.
Kakashi swiftly turned around which resulted into the three genin to bump into him and they fell over.
"What gives Kakashi-sensei?" Shikamaru muttered annoyed.
"You three go get cleaned up, I'll file the report and make sure Zabuza and Haku are get their deserved stay."
"K-Kakashi-sensei?" Hinata tipped her head, Kakashi noted she almost looked like a curious puppy.
"No need to worry, I am your jonin this is just one of my many jobs."
They all nodded and waved goodbye to him and Zabuza.
Shikamaru sighed and waved goodbye to his teammates. "'Kaa-chan will lose her shit if I don't get home as soon as possible." Naruto and Hinata giggled at their lazy teammate who was a victim of his mother, they wished him luck and he gladly took it.
The wind blew and Hinata picked up a scent of Bbq. Her stomach loudly rumbled, Naruto turned around and looked at her with a look of shock on his face. "'Nata-chan... your stomach read my mind." The girl could only blush and immediately knew what he was going to suggest thus she stopped him before he said anything.
"A-Ano..! 'Ruto-kun... can we go somewhere instead of... umm... Ichiraku's? I p-promise we'll go later with K-Kurenai-'kaa-san..."
He looked at her incredulously and shrugged. "If you wanted to eat something different than ramen you could have just told me-ttebayo."
Her eyes shot open and frantically tried to explain that she still loved ramen, he laughed at her efforts and grabbed her hand to walk to the nearest Bbq place. She stumbled after him not being able to grasp that he just grabbed her hand. They sat at a booth and moments after team 8 had walked in. Naruto scowled he did not need the noise right now. Kiba, Shino, Ino and Ame were approaching them. Hinata yelped with a blushed face and put the menu in front of her fact so she wouldn't be seen. Naruto raised an eyebrow at this. 'Why is she blushing-ttebayo? Does she like Kiba or Shino? I doubt Shino... Kiba? The thought of her liking someone like Kiba makes my blood boil-ttebayo! The thought of her liking anyone else but me pisses me off!'
"Oh look, it's Naruto and he's with someone." Ino pointed out obviously.
"Do you know who it is?" Ino shook her head. Ame snickered the answer to who it is, was quite obvious.
"It's Bright Eyes, you idiots."
Kiba got excited that it was Hinata. He smelled for her scent and almost choked, she smelled great, it was more potent than when he last saw her.
"Yo!"
Hinata squeaked and Naruto scowled. "What do you want, Dog-breath?"
Kiba growled at the blond genin "What was that, Whisker-face?"
Hinata continued to sink into her chair she didn't know what was worse, the fact that she remembered Kiba would be all over her or the fact that Ame is staring at her with a smug grin. She got a whiff of Ame's scent and she also smelled good but not as good as Naruto's.
'Ignore it, pup.'
Hinata snapped out of her thoughts and put down the menu. "A-Ano... would you... umm... like to join us?"
Naruto internally cried out.
Kiba smirked and nodded whereas Akamaru who yelped in agreement too.
Ino was happy to spend time with Hinata.
Ame was surprised but didn't show it.
Shino had remained forgotten throughout this whole scene.
It was tense. The table was tense. Naruto glared at Kiba who ignored him and stared at Hinata who was trying not to crumble in Ame's gaze and Ino watched this scene and stored it in her gossip bank. Shino still remained forgotten.
Shino cleared his throat which made everyone jump, he was slighted irritated but did not show it. "May we proceed to order or are you going to stare at each other?" He pushed his glasses close to his face. Everyone got the shivers and looked at the menu and picked out what they want. After the ice breaker from Shino everyone was getting along, even Naruto and Kiba.
Hinata turned to Ino and with a look of curiosity.
"Nani Hinata-chan?"
"How's Kurenai-'kaa-san? Is she okay?"
"Yeah, she's okay. She's a grown woman Hinata." Ino giggled.
Hinata giggled with her "Only if you knew how she could be." Ino leaned forward as she wants to know how un-perfect her sensei is.
"Go on, spill, spill."
Ame shook her head at how nosey her teammate was. "You're way too nosey Ino-chan."
Ino pouted but still urged Hinata to tell her things she needs to know. Hinata leaned in towards Ino to whisper. Ame felt a pang of jealousy at the close proximity between the two but ignored it. "I won't tell you." Hinata barked out laughing thinking it was so funny to pretend she was going to tell Ino. Ino looked defeated and depression soon consumed her whole body.
Kiba looked at Hinata once more, inhaling her from the other side of the table. "Ne, Hinata-chan? Want to go on a date with me someday?"
Everyone paused.
Hinata went red with embarrassment. "A-A-Ano..."
Naruto kept a blank face not showing emotions.
'Ruto-kun... help...' "Ano... g-gomenasai Kiba-kun, demo... I don't wish to date you."
