-Now-
Hinata's P.O.V.
My body sprung up with a gasp, deserting the smooth dark floor I chose to lie upon earlier.
Now trapped within a prison, a room harboring four walls, a concrete door, a janky bed, and a tiny window, I sat on the floor in a daze as nothing but memories began to flood back to me.
Now within a sitting position, I pulled one hand up to shakily cup my forehead, to perhaps diminish the throbbing that I was suffering from in that area.
My hooded lavender eyes were fixated on the ground as I ran back through the memories that I now have a hold of, memories that took place before I woke up in a basement that was, in fact, not my home.
My breath hitched, tears now pricking my side, burning my eyes for they were desperately wishing to escape and roll down my cheeks.
And they did, once I finally made sense of it all, finally harboring all the answers to my problems, given the medicine that I was injected with was now long gone.
I gasped shakily, my entire body shaking in fright. I-I remember. I-I-I remember everything.
I remember Ureshi Udon.
I remember my coworkers, Sakura, Kiba, and Shino, three individuals that I enjoy working alongside immensely.
I remember my customers, the lovely people of Japan that seemed to hold me dear to their hearts.
I remember Neji, my hardworking cousin who only wanted the best for me, who wanted me to live a life without struggle, without pain, and without loss.
My breath hitched once more, a gulp sliding down my throat.
I remember the blonde man.
I remember the mysterious man with the spiky blonde hair, the dark blue eyes, and the whiskered cheeks who smelt similar to a cool, crisp breeze. I remember the blonde wore nothing but tuxedos every day he came to Ureshi Udon. The blonde male sat at the same spot he always does each day. He sat at the very back of the diner; the seventh booth.
Even now, I was bereft of his name, his occupation, his story, or the male's real face or rather who he really is. I knew nothing of the man I once thought gorgeous and charming, a man I was rather attracted to but now...
I shakily turned my head to look up at the steel door before me, the door that was the object that had locked me inside the cell I was in, keeping me trapped.
More tears rushed down my cheeks. No. That man is a monster. He's the one that kidnapped me.
And just when such a thought crossed my mind, my ears suddenly began to hear the sound of boots clicking against the hardened floor, far behind the steel door I was facing.
My body's tremor worsened to the extremes as my ears picked up a thud of another door, a male's sickening whistle, and the stomping of boots.
"Ahh, you're finally awake, love. Isn't that wonderful?"
Sobs began to escape my mouth as my brain identified that yes, the voice that currently spoke to me belonged to the blonde man, the same man that was once a regular at Ureshi Udon.
The tears that rolled down my blotchy cheeks rushed down to splat against the floor underneath me. My chest heaved up and down with great vigor causing breathing for me to become very arduous.
"Why? Why are you doing this? I've done n-nothing-"
"Oh love, that's certainly not true. You've done more than you can possibly know."
The male's voice began to grow closer and closer the more he ventured forward, my ears steadily listening to his footfalls.
Stomp.
Stomp.
Stomp.
Sto-
My body jolted up once I suddenly heard the stomping of boots grow quiet, causing my head to look back toward the steel door.
But I was only surprised to see the dark blue eyes that were there and currently piercing my very body as I lay helplessly on a floor that I deem unrecognizable.
A sharp gasp escaped my lips and I rushed away, far away from the steel door, away from the blonde male that now stood behind it, currently watching me through the window that was available.
A pout stretched across the male's whiskered face as he tilted his head at me, just using his eyes to examine me within his basement, "Aww, baby. I hate seeing you in there like that-"
"Let me out! Let me out now! Don't do this, please! Don't hurt me!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, screaming until my throat grew raw and sore. I was scared, scared shitless. I wanted nothing more than to leave this place immediately and go far away from here, back home where I deem it safe.
But the blonde had no intention of letting me go, no intention of letting me out of his sight ever again. The dark glint in his eyes told me so.
The blonde clicked his tongue, keeping his meaningless pout to play, "Hurt you, love? Oh no, I've only wanted to save you."
My eyes widened upon the insane male's response, a response that revealed just how flawed his brain really was.
Oh my kami.
I was in total shock, my body trembling upon the floor I sat on, my head lifted up slightly to look through the window at the spiky-haired blonde that was now present behind the door that kept me locked away.
The blonde hummed at me, "I've saved you, my beloved. I've wrenched you from the claws of despair that once had a hold of you and your precious life. I rescued you from the great suffering that you have endured for so long." The blonde male paused his words to let out a moan of satisfaction, his head giving me a shake from behind the glass window he stood in front of, "Ahh, but you, oh you, my precious precious Hinata-chan, was too naive to notice the darkness that was lurking in the shadows, lurking to swallow you up whole. You knew nothing. But I noticed it. I noticed it all. So I decided to take matters into my own hands."
"You're insane!" I screamed out, my voice bouncing off of the walls and filling both of our ears with a sound full of anguish.
I watched in horror as the blonde's facial features twisted into a look of pure rage, his dark blue eyes darkening to the extremes. His blonde eyebrows furrowed and his lips curved to produce a deep scowl.
Suddenly, he slammed his fist with all of his might against the steel door causing a loud thud to fill up the entire area.
I cried out in fright, scooting against the floor to gather some distance from the crazed blonde. I also covered my eyes with my hands.
"I am not fucking insane!" The blonde roared out in an outrage, his furious eyes set on me and only me.
Of all the time we've spent together, this was the very first time he's cursed at me, and I sure as hell didn't like it one bit.
His voice was so loud, his voice made my ears ring. His voice was bouncing off of the walls, bouncing off of the steel door. In his angered rage, he allowed much of his anger to show itself when the curse word, 'fucking' left his lips.
It was so, so scary.
The tremor that had a hold of my body was one that I couldn't shake. My teeth chattered against the other one as I hid behind my hands, plastering them over my eyes to stop my ability to see the wretched predicament I was in, to stop seeing the face that has ruined my life, that has hurt me more than anyone has ever done in my entire life.
I sobbed tears, shaking my head in desperation, "Please, just stop this. Please, I'll do anything."
My ears picked up a scoff come from the other side of the steel door before I heard an object slide up against it. But I didn't dare remove my hands from my eyes. I only embraced the world of darkness that I was in at the moment.
But I couldn't do so for long because the crazed blonde noticed my tactic and wished for it to end.
"No, no, don't you hide from me. You know how much I hate that, love."
Slam!
Yet again, the male slammed his hand against the steel door frame causing a massive thud to echo across the entire area and in turn scaring me half to death.
Due to fear, I yanked my hands away from my teary eyes to instead plaster them on the smirking blonde from afar who took pleasure in my obedience.
He nodded at me, leaning against the door by pinning his hands against the top corners of them, "Good girl. You deserve a fine reward."
My eyes widened upon his sickening words. All evil acts a human was capable of performing began to pop up in my brain due to his words.
Murder. Rape. Molestation. Torture. Sex Trafficking. Organ trafficking.
I was helpless to it all. Things were not looking good for me given my predicament. The blonde male can enact any crime in the world on me and no one would know. No one.
My paranoid thoughts only began to cause me to weep, my lips quivering in devastation, "No, no please! Don't do this, please! I beg of you!"
The male's blue eyes widened slightly but in amusement from behind the steel door, a large grin spread across his whiskered face at the sight of my outburst, "Aww, calm yourself, my love. I haven't even told you your reward yet. Don't worry, you're going to like your reward very much, just as you've loved all the other rewards I've given you. I have a story to tell, love."
A chuckle slipped from the crazed blonde's lips before he pushed himself away from the door to stand up straight. I then watched fearfully as the tall blonde male began to pull off his black jacket, doing so in a rather rough manner. But his eyes never left mine.
He smirked crookedly, "You wanna know who I am, love? You wanna know what I've done? Or perhaps, how I feel... towards you?"
I nodded my head wildly, my teary lavender eyes plastered on the blonde who was disposing of his oversized jacket to reveal a white, collared shirt, one that was long-sleeved and buttoned up. He tossed his jacket to a place unknown and then turned his head around to face me again.
He chuckled darkly, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, love. To all of Japan, I am considered a mere ghost. Hardly anyone sees me, much less recognizes me. The people of Japan only see what I want them to see." The blonde let out a snicker before continuing, "It's funny, ya know, with all the looks I get daily. The widened eyes of shock, all the swoons and flirty looks from naive women who wouldn't see danger if it slapped them in the face. Oh yes, my mere appearance is simply an illusion and my very name is hidden from all those I meet. For I am
the one behind Japan's salvation. I am the man that keeps Japan underneath his bootheel and keeps things in check. I run all and I see all. But of course, the people of Japan wouldn't know that and I'd like to keep it that way."
The blonde male's words were severely shocking for it seemed that he was once again speaking in code. He wasn't directly telling me who he was and what kind of power he wields but in a way he was still granting me just what I sought. He was giving me what I wanted to hear, piece by piece.
My body sat frozen on the floor, currently undergoing many different emotions which made it hard to speak.
But the blonde continued to talk, once more showering me with knowledge of his very being, "You can say I'm quite powerful. A man of business and wealth, a man that can bend life as I see fit. There's always more than what meets the eye, Hinata-chan and let's just say there's so much more in play here."
"S-S-So you're a corrupt businessman, is that it? A man that thirsts for power and w-w-wealth and deceives the weak to do it?"
I was granted an amused chuckle from Naruto, my lavender eyes watching the blonde man fearfully behind the window of the steel door.
He nodded slowly, giving me my answer, "Hmm, something like that, sweetheart. But what you see is corrupt, I see as genius. Hinata-chan, without those with power and wealth keeping the poor in check, Japan will fall into chaos. Men like me oversee the economic class system and ensure that there is a balance between the four social classes and keep such classes present."
"A-A-And by social classes, you mean-"
Naruto's blue eyes darkened, "Upper middle class, lower middle class, working class, and lower class. Ambitious men like me keep everyone in place-"
"No." I shook my head wildly, denying his claim. I knew exactly what the blonde was getting at and his cause in Japan wasn't to help the people here but to restrain them, to control them just as he wishes to control me.
I bit my trembling lip, trying my best to summon up a bit of courage but it was hard. I let go of my lip to swallow nervously, "Y-You mean you keep the lower class poor and the rich class rich-"
Slam!
The blonde took a hit at the steel door once more out of anger for calling him out, "Are you not listening to anything I'm fucking telling you? Is your precious mind confused, love? Do I need to take a step inside that room you're in? Ya think you'll understand better then?-"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, please! Don't hurt me."
Out of fear, my body was now huddling at the far end of the room, lying against the bed I once found distasteful. But now I used the bed as a shield, as a way to keep as far of a distance from the blonde outside the door before me.
He was a complete lunatic, a deranged man that enforces his beliefs on others, a man that seeks to do any and everything he desires. He only sees that his way of things is the right way, that nothing else is correct in his eyes. His way or the highway is his motto, it would seem.
The blonde was very narcissistic, corrupt, and power-hungry.
Not to mention a kidnapper.
Now that was the next thing I wanted to know. How on earth did he plan all of this? Why did he plan all of this?
With one hand covering my mouth, I sobbed, shaking my head at the blonde that was currently staring at me, using his eyes to trail my very being behind the glass window. He seemed to be staring at me as if I was an exotic animal at a zoo, staring at me with a look of amazement in his eyes.
It was disgusting.
I sobbed, my chest heaving once more. I still wore my diner uniform which clung to my sweaty body for dear life.
I sniffed back tears, "Wh-Why am I here? Why have you brought me here?"
"Ahh." Naruto moaned out in glee due to my questions, "You want to know why I've brought you to your new home, yes?"
My eyes narrowed in confusion, my heart skipping a beat in my chest. New home?
"Wh-What?"
Naruto's grin grew at the sight of the confusion on my face, "Oh yes, love, you certainly didn't think I'd let you go, did you? Now, of course, this place isn't where you'll be kept. Though you look absolutely beautiful in there, I do not wish to keep you here. I only placed you here originally to tame you. But you won't be remaining in there for long. Because you, my beautiful angel, do not deserve to be locked in a basement that I have sadly neglected to fix and keep stabilized. Excuse the condition in there, your bedroom looks far more gorgeous than anything you've ever seen before. And, it's all yours. You deserve it." The blonde voiced with a toothy grin, voicing words that caused my body to freeze up in a state of shock.
"Oh my kami." I whispered in disbelief for I could not believe what I just heard.
The blonde was an even bigger psycho than I first thought. He wants me to live with him? Even after he's kidnapped me? He's completely out of his mind.
Naruto let out another chuckle as he watched me from behind the glass as I processed his words, my eyes fixated on the ground below me.
The crazed blonde clicked his tongue, "Hinata-chan, I want to admit that you have changed my life completely. From the first time I saw you, to our first conversation, I wanted nothing more than to have you as my own, to take care of you, to bathe within your light, to embrace your selfless heart, and shower you with a love that no one else is capable of granting you. You were mine from the start, I had already decided that the first day I met you. But I needed time. I needed time to prepare for your arrival. I need to ensure that everything goes smoothly." Naruto pulled up two fingers, showing me his thick digits within the window for me to see. There, I saw that the blonde was wearing rings again. Silver ones.
He waved his two fingers back and forth with a grin, "Two weeks was more than enough time to set all the groundwork, to ensure that you'll be mine forever without any distractions, red tape, or complications." Naruto shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, my love grew for you the more the days progressed. I couldn't seem to go a day without visiting Ureshi Udon. I found myself incapable of leaving your side, of keeping my eyes off of you, of not talking to you, of not wanting you. Dammit, you have no idea how much I yearn for you. Such a feeling tore me to pieces, kept me up all fucking night. You're always on my mind. And then you..." The insane blonde then pointed a finger at me, directly at me within my cell causing my heart to plummet straight into the pit of my stomach.
Now, it was even harder to breathe. I began hyperventilating.
The blonde gave me a look of irritation, "You, oh miss goody two shoes, denied all of my flirtations. You kept me at a distance and gave me absolutely no chance to reveal to you my feelings. You turned my feelings down, posing as it was unmannered of you to engage in amatory conversation with your customers. Hah! Amatory conversation? That's what you said, wasn't it?"
Tears began to slip down my cheeks as I listened to the psycho speak, disclosing just how he managed to get me in his clutches and the crazed feelings he had for me. It was all too much, I felt like I was going to die.
But the blonde continued to speak. He was eager to tell me everything, everything that he has done in the shadows, behind my back as I lived my life obliviously through it all. He wanted to see my face as he told me his misdeeds.
Naruto sneered in disappointment, his nose wrinkling up, "Shame on you for denying what could have been. Shame on fucking you for denying my feelings. You felt the connection between us. You actually expressed jot around me and yet you still pushed me away. But it didn't matter one bit because I was determined to have you anyway. So, I carried on with my plan. After a few days of continuously attending Ureshi Udon, I decided to extend my stay a little longer until the very end of your shift. I would leave, grant you your reward, and then enter my car where I would wait for you. I watched you clean up your workplace, and conversate with your precious coworkers that oh, by the way, could care less of your current whereabouts."
Naruto squinted his eyes at me through the square window, putting up a scowl, "Sakura, was it? The pink-haired woman you worked with? Your co-worker?"
I whimpered in defeat, nodding my head shakily. Such an action was all I was capable of doing. But that was enough for Naruto.
He hummed, shaking his head in pity at me, causing his spiky bangs to smack against his whiskered cheeks, "Oh love, that woman hated your guts. Jealousy was the reason. Japan's people favored you more and that bothered Sakura so much. I noticed the many looks of disdain and disgust she directed at you as you worked so flawlessly. The woman was practically killing you with her eyes-"
"Stop it! That's not true!" I screamed out in denial, my voice bouncing off of the stoned walls around me.
Naruto narrowed his eyes due to my outburst but he only carried on, "And then there's Kiba. Oh, that man had a major crush on you but oh, would you believe that he was in a relationship already? Oh yes." The blonde gave his head an amused nod, "After closing hours, I saw a woman, just about his age, would arrive and pick him up to take him home from his workplace. Tamaki was her name, I heard Kiba mention her once. The man was in love with you but he didn't want to ruin things with his girlfriend. But he couldn't just deny his itty wittle feelings. Oh, Hinata-chan, you made it so hard for him but, with you gone, he probably feels nothing but relief."
"Stop it!"
"And then there's Shino. A man that wanted to disrupt your workplace, disturb the peace, and cause trouble between you and Sakura. He didn't care about keeping the peace or making amends. He only wanted to get rid of his boredom. That man hated his job and his coworkers too, including you."
"I said stop it! Stop it right now!" I screamed out at the top of my lungs, doing so out of anger and hurt. I didn't want to hear the man before me speak ill about my friends, about people that I care dearly about and that I know care about me in return. I didn't want my memories of my friends to be tainted by his lies. They're lies. Just lies.
How would he know anyway?
I pulled my hand up to cover my mouth, sobbing in sorrow within the limb, "Please, I don't want to hear this anymore. It can't be true, none of it." I cried out in denial, shaking my head as a way to rid my mind of his words.
Naruto pouted at me, underturning his lip due to pity. Even his facial features began to droop to express a more saddening expression, "I'm sorry, my love. But I speak nothing but the truth. I want nothing but the truth for you, that is why I told you this, to protect you."
"You are not protecting me!"
"I am! I fucking am, dammit. If you can't see it, then fine. If you want to live in a fairytale, then be my guest, I won't stop you. But, you know the truth and now, I want to finish telling you everything, Hinata-chan. Enough with the distractions, let's get back to what's important."
My body remained to shake as it leaned against the only bed in the area. My knees were risen and pushed against my chest, my body huddling far away from the steel door that kept me away from the psycho blonde on the other side of it.
My ears picked up the blonde cleared his throat, "Now, where was I? Ahh yes, every night, I'd remain in my car and watch you as you slip into yours, soon leaving Ureshi Udon to go home. I followed you, at first only passing the building you live in. Each day I would work myself closer and closer to your residence until soon I was parked inside the lot. And you never noticed a thing. You never noticed when I finally did enter your lovely residence and exchange a few words with the respectful woman working the front desk. Heh," Naruto stopped his words to narrow his menacing eyes at me, giving me a crooked grin, "you can guess what happened next, right?"
My head snapped towards the blonde and I exploded in a sob fit again, shaking my head in disbelief at what the blonde was hinting at, "No, no please, you didn't!"
He nodded sinisterly, "I did. You would be surprised what one would do for money. I managed to buy myself the information of your floor number, your room number and a copy of your flat's key. But I didn't travel up to your room right away. I had to learn of your dear cousin's schedule first." Naruto shrugged, "Wasn't hard to pick up that he leaves early in the morning and arrives home twenty minutes before you do, just to go home to sleep. So, I just kept that in mind when I began to maneuver my way around your flat."
"Oh kami! Oh kami! This isn't real. You couldn't have been in my home, you can't-!"
The blonde tilted his head, "Oh, don't believe me? Okay then, answer me this, where's your diary, sweetheart?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, to perhaps jog my memory.
My eyes widened at his question and in response, I backtracked to remember my diary's whereabouts. I remember that I had it last week but then I totally began to overlook it as time progressed. I was so tired and stressed out because of my work I began to skip writing in my diary to go straight to sleep.
So I only noticed that it was gone the night I deciphered Naruto's message.
But I noticed that recently.
I whimpered, shrugging my shoulders in defeat, "I-I don't know-"
The blonde clicked his tongue, "Oh, that's alright, love. I can answer that question for you."
Naruto gave me a crooked grin before taking a step to the side to fetch something, an item that he slammed against the window once he obtained it.
My heart's beat sped up faster once I connected eye to eye with my pink diary that was now in the hands of the psycho blonde, further confirming that he infiltrated my home without my knowledge.
My pink diary looked just as I last saw it as it lay plastered against the window, within the grip of another individual's possession. Knowing that broke my heart to pieces.
I turned away, cradling myself further, "You went into my home? Stole my diary? For what, because of rejection? Because you were hurt that I would never see you as a love interest ever? Well, I definitely won't now! The things you have done are psychopathic and you deserve to be locked in jail, you bastard!"
The blonde shushed my hate speech, pulling the diary down, away from the window to reveal himself again, "Shh, love. Let's not say things we don't mean. After all, I read your little diary from beginning to end. I looked up every piece of information I could find on you as well as your prestigious little family."
Immediately as the blonde mentioned my malignant family, my stomach flipped flopped and my breathing increased to the extremes.
I swallowed, to contain my nerves, "Wh-What the hell do you know about my family?" I spat out in a rude manner but my voice held a massive shake in it.
Naruto noticed.
He tilted his head, moving one finger forward to give the window a tap, "Oh I know a lot about your family, including your past. I know that you've been disowned, my love. I know about your financial predicament. I know that your cousin betrayed your family because of you; well betrayed your father mostly. He's quite loyal, cutting ties with his own family on your behalf."
Naruto stopped his words to pout, "Your father was such a bully, wasn't he, my love? He couldn't appreciate how different his daughter was, hmm? Decided to disown her because of disgust, ignorance, and downright stupidity, hmm? Say!" Naruto gasped in amusement for he was having loads of fun toying with me, "isn't that the reason why you're cut off? Why you and your cousin are cut off? Having everything to now nothing has gotta be heart-wrenching, right baby?"
"Be quiet! Be quiet! You know nothing! You don't know anything about me!"
Thud!
Naruto slammed his hand against the steel door once more, doing so out of rage, "I know everything about you, Hinata-chan! I know your past, your present, and your motherfucking future. I know every nick and cranny of your home. I even knew exactly how to turn the tides officially in my favor. I knew exactly how to get you here, in my clutches."
A long sigh of glee slipped out of his mouth before he gave me another crooked smile, one that made my stomach flip flop and more tears fall, "The message I left you was simply a generous act. I care deeply for you and so I wanted to warn you beforehand of your fate. Of course, naive as I know you to be, I knew you wouldn't take my message seriously. So the night you deciphered my message, I entered your home and into your bedroom. And that's when I saw you, lying upon the edge of your bed. It would seem you had fallen asleep. But I couldn't help but notice your condition as well as your room. Your room was disheveled, your work clothes were still on and the money I had given you was sprawled all over your desk; my message completely deciphered." Naruto nodded at me in approval, giving me a faint smile, "Good job, by the way."
I didn't budge at receiving such a compliment.
I only glared, trying my best not to fall apart. But it was hard. How can I not when I'm hearing such sickish things?
Every word that passed the blonde's mouth was sick and twisted. I couldn't take it.
But he continued to speak. He just wouldn't stop.
Naruto bit his lip briefly, groaning softly, "I took my money back where I later burned it. I actually burned it not too far from here."
"You burned y-y-your money?"
"Yes." Naruto only answered, as if what he just said wasn't bizarre at all. He even shrugged which further put the icing on the cake.
My mouth dropped wide open in shock upon hearing that the male had burned so much money, just for the sake of concealing his message, concealing his fingerprints and my own; all for the sake of hiding. He's insane, completely and utterly insane.
Naruto rolled his blue eyes, scoffing due to the shock I expressed due to his actions, "Yes, yes, yes, I burned the money but that isn't what's important here. What's important is what I granted you that night."
"Wh-What?"
Naruto's eyes darkened at me through the glass of the window. He licked his lips lewdly, his body swaying back and forth, "I did the honors and cleaned your gorgeous body, beautiful. You were so tired that night, you didn't awake from your slumber as I did so. I bathed you, clothed you, and..."
"Oh kami, please tell me you're lying." I sobbed out in disbelief, my hands flying forth to cover my ears, "I can't listen! I can't listen anymore!-"
"Oh but you must listen because I granted you a reward your body was so grateful for. I granted your body just what it yearned for. I gave it the attention that it called for me to give."
"Please stop it! Stop it! Stop!"
Naruto nodded his head in a downward manner, his blue eyes zeroing in on the area my shaky legs covered up. He licked his lips once more, "I explored the area between your legs up close and personal that night. Once I cleaned you and dressed you properly, I showed you a good time and granted you..." The crazed blonde pulled two fingers of his up, positioning them close to his face.
He set the two fingers to form the letter V and then he pulled his face forward, to stick out his tongue to rapidly perform the action of licking in the open space his fingers provided, "oral sex. I made out with that pretty pink pussy of yours. Delectable is just what I would describe the taste of you, my love. Yes, you tasted better than any meal that I've consumed before in my entire life. Heh," The sick blonde snorted in glee, "I was delighted to hear you moan from my ministrations. You seemed to enjoy it, even in your sleep." He finished off with a sickening laugh, his blue eyes watching my stunned form as it sat shakily on the floor, my back pressed against the scrawny bed in the room.
My lavender eyes widened so big, I felt them begin to ache, threatening to fall out of the very sockets they were kept in. More and more tears rushed down my cheeks to only splat on the floor below me due to what I just heard.
I was at a total loss for words. I could not believe what I was hearing. I could not believe what the monster before me had done to me, my body, and my life. It just keeps getting worse and worse.
With every word that passed his lips, I felt my spirit crumble more and more and my heart shatter into a million different pieces.
I subconsciously clutched my legs tightly together.
He violated me. He violated me in my sleep. He saw my naked body. He touched me without my permission. H-He licked my...
I couldn't bring myself to finish my thoughts and I let out a sob, using my arms to cradle myself, to give myself warmth.
I was in pain.
I was in agony.
I clutched my hands tightly to my chest and directed the sorrowful look on my face towards the blonde behind the door, even more tears spilling from my puffy red eyes, "You're a s-sicko. H-How dare you? H-How dare you put your foul hands on me? How dare you enter my home, touch my belongings and play with my body! You're disgusting! You won't get away with this, you bastard!"
Such words were screamed out at the top of my lungs, pouring my agony and my grief into my words in order to stand up for my side. Because at this moment, I felt utterly helpless. Not only was my freedom stolen from me but now I have learned that my innocence was too.
How dare he! How dare he! How dare he!
I couldn't believe what was happening.
I glared daggers full of hate at the blonde, giving him a look I have never given anyone else in my entire life.
And such a look as well as my words seemed to bother the blonde because his blue eyes widened and his jaws clenched tightly together. He was hurt by my words.
But he quickly covered up his feelings by waving me off, waving his hand back and forth in front of the window, "Oh baby, let's quit with the name-calling, okay? You know my name now so I suggest you say it instead when addressing me."
A sneer took over my lips, my midnight blue eyebrows furrowing, "Never. Your name won't ever pass my lips and no matter what you do, you won't make me say it-"
The blonde's eyes narrowed dangerously upon my words of defiance. Suddenly, I began to hear a clicking of the door which caused my look of hatred to quickly vanish, a look of fear replacing it.
My eyes widened upon the blonde's action of unlocking the steel door, my ears picking up several clicks before the door finally burst open, "Is that so?"
My teeth began to chatter against one another again as I witnessed my cell door burst wide open to be met face to face with the crazed blonde who stared down at me with a raised eyebrow.
I knew the blonde was only intimidating me, intimidating me to give him what he wanted. That is for me to say his name, his real name.
But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I couldn't bring myself to form the monster's name with my lips, much less speak it.
The spiky-haired blonde emerged within the confined area I was kept in by tossing the door closed behind him. Now, his entire body was exposed to my eyes and I saw he wore black khakis pants and black formal shoes along with his white buttoned-up shirt.
His body was just as broad and buff as I remembered but now he seemed even more intimidating and scary which slowly but surely convinced me to stop holding my tongue and just say the blonde male's name.
The male before me let out a clicking sound with his tongue, before taking further steps inside the cell, "Ahh, stubborn, I see? Well, it doesn't matter. You will soon learn that I only tolerate obedience and anything but will grant you a very bad time. I want to give you everything, Hinata-chan, I do. I want to take care of you, make you happy, and fulfill your every need and desire. But, we are going to start off on a very bad note if you won't just..."
He stepped up further causing me to crawl away in a frantic manner.
"No! Stay back!
"Say."
Another step.
I crawled further away.
"My."
Another step.
I crawled back only to slam against the stoned wall in the back of the room I was in, my body quivering to a severe level as I watched the blonde stomp his way over to me.
He fumed in rage, taking mighty steps forward to grow closer and closer to me, "Name! Say my fucking name, Hinata-chan!"
"Naruto, Naruto! Pl-Please, oh please, don't hurt me, Naruto!"
Taking the only choice I had and running with it, I begged the blonde to refrain from thinking of hurting me or bringing discomfort to my very being. So, I just said his name.
And because of that, I watched as Naruto froze up in shock, his dark blue widening drastically, a look I never saw from him before. The blonde was caught off guard, taken aback immensely just by the fact I said his name.
It surely stunned the blonde greatly, more so than he thought originally it would.
He squinted his eyes in satisfaction down at my cowering form, bringing his top teeth down to bite his bottom lip, "Mmm, such music to my ears. What a lovely sound — your beautiful voice uttering my name. If only you moaned it as I made love to your pussy-"
"Stop it! Someone will find me! Someone will find out about all of this!"
"Oh no, that's where you're wrong."
Naruto shook his head before using his feet to further bring his body closer, closer to my sitting form which was a sight that scared me half to death.
I wept and yelped at the sight of the blonde man drawing near and cornering me, one hand of mine flinging up in a desperate manner to keep the distance between us, "Stay back! Don't c-c-come any closer!"
The blonde let out a devious chuckle before taking his spot directly in front of my crotched form, his head tilted down to lock eyes with me.
The shadow of his very being loomed over me, causing the room to appear darker than it normally was.
The blonde male's body was now hovering over me, completely cornering me and giving me no place to run. Any chance I had of escaping or fleeing the area beforehand, was now long gone as I sat shakily on the floor, gazing up at my captor who was only a step away from my person.
The blonde let out a sigh, before bending his upper body down to diminish a few inches of his real height in order to get on my level upon the floor.
Naruto's blue eyes trailed all over me, taking in my distressed form up close. He took in my messy midnight blue hair, my red puffy eyes, my ruined makeup, and the dirty uniform I wore.
He gave me a pout of pity, "Hinata-chan, you can fight, scream and deny all you want but nothing is going to change. I have ensured your salvation and therefore you should simply accept my gracious reward in order to spare yourself from grief and sorrow. Hah, you should be thankful!" Naruto scoffed playfully, boasting his words to the walls of the confined room we were in.
"I have already ensured your place here in my world, in my life, here in my home. I have ensured that no one will interfere and try to take you away from me, or take away the chance you have to live and be free again-"
I glared daggers up at the blonde, gritting my teeth in hatred due to his evil words, "You're demented! Get away from me!" I roared out and in a quick manner, I leaned forward and spat directly within the blonde's face, spitting a blob of spit directly upon his right cheek.
But the blonde didn't budge.
He only gave me an evil smirk before pulling his fingers towards the clump of spit that covered his whiskered cheek and he dragged his digits through the wet substance to rid himself of it. He clicked his tongue as he wiped his face, doing so in a chastising manner.
He didn't say anything for a while, no, he only took a couple of seconds to perfectly clean his face, wiping my spit on his shirt in the end. Only until he was fully rid of my essence did he speak again.
This time, I could see the disappointment in his eyes, that familiar dark glint of his present. He directed such a dark look straight at me, "I don't want to hurt you, Hinata-chan, that's the last thing I want. But if you keep disobeying then I will have to resort to other matters, matters which you won't like at all."
The blonde scoffed, before yanking his hand down to cup my chin. I whimpered out upon his touch, my body wiggling away to perhaps free myself from his vile clutches.
But it was no use.
His grip was tight, his body cornered me and my own body was weak from the condition it was in and the feelings that crippled it. I was in no position to fight back. I was very, very weak.
I whimpered in defeat upon that.
Is this really my life now? Do I really have to live with this crazy sociopath for the rest of my life?
My lavender eyes widened at my thoughts. Is there really no one looking for me?
Tears once again slid down my cheeks as the realization of my situation came crashing down to crush me. Now within the presence of Naruto, now physically held within his clutches, I began to truly take in the blonde's previous words.
I began to see for myself that the blonde had outsmarted me. He has done everything that a man of his stature was able to do in order to stir clear of the police, to ensure that no one knew of my abduction and that all of my loved ones were deceived and fooled.
I am trapped.
Trapped within the hands of my...
Stalker.
Realization never struck so hard as everything began to come full circle. I was finally stepping out of the denial phase and now stepping into the phases of bargaining and depression of grief.
I looked into the cold eyes of my captor and pleaded, shaking my head desperately causing more of my hair strands to slip from my bun to fall down my face, "Please, please don't do this to me, Naruto. I'm begging you. Please, it's not too late to change all of th-"
"Oh but it is." Naruto whispered sinisterly down at me, all the while gripping my chin. He used his thumb to caress my cheek which summoned chills to rush up and down my spine. But even disgusted, I couldn't get my body to move, to recoil away.
I was petrified, stuck with my gaze held on the blonde before me as if I was under a spell.
My lips trembled.
Naruto gave me a faint smile, "The life you once had is over, Hinata-chan. Ureshi Udon is no more for I ensured that to your manager, your coworkers, and to your dear customers that you have made the decision to quit your job because you simply found a new one. I'm afraid, love, you won't be working there ever again. Naruto voiced in pity, keeping up with his caressing.
He watched as the light that once was expressed so evidently in my eyes dimmed, vanishing due to my predicament, to his words of devastation.
Naruto frowned deeply, "Though you won't step foot back into Ureshi Udon but I will. I can't give the people of Japan any idea I was the cause of your absence. Because you will be gone and the last conversation between us was a little heated, I have decided to continue to visit Ureshi Udon to avoid detection. It's a bummer I won't see you there."
Naruto pulled up his free hand to cross his index finger and middle finger. He put up a cheeky smile, his features brightening up in amusement. But such a look only made me want to gag. I get absolutely sick. I'm going to vomit.
Naruto snickered, "Fingers crossed the service will still be exceptional." He retorted amusingly as if what he said was supposed to be funny.
All he got in return was a whimper of sorrow, a response that ruined his mood.
Naruto's smile wavered so a frow could replace it. He pulled my head up further, using my chin to do so to get an even closer look at me.
Another whimper escaped my lips, but one at a louder volume.
He shushed me, "To let you know, I have also ensured that your missing presence within your flat won't be for good reason. I did the honors and had your belongings moved from your home and into my own. I ensured that your precious cousin knows that your disappearance was done because you saw a new home of your choosing. With your phone, I sent a text on your behalf to your cousin and informed him that you scraped together enough money for yourself and bought a home on the outskirts of Japan. The home was a blessing in disguise, I wrote to him, and the home was one that you had no problem affording at the moment. But to explain the sudden move, I wrote to him that the home was up for sale and many other individuals were also making a move to buy the home. So you had to buy it and move in quickly. He bought it, just as I knew he would. He is devastated by your absence but that doesn't matter because now we're all in clear of your cousin as well."
The blonde paused his words to send his slimy tongue across his lips, all the while keeping his large hand of his wrapped around my small chin. His fingers clutched the poor thing for dear life, keeping me still.
He pulled his head forward, causing hair blonde bangs to sway and rock. But now that he stood in the darkness, the color of his hair was now hard to detect.
"And that... sums up my plan. My efforts have put me in the clear and have made you mine officially."
Naruto tightened his grip on my chin causing me to cry out, his body leaning more into my zone, invading my personal space.
I turned my head when the blonde carried his head forth to press his lips on my cheek, giving me a peck there. He hummed once he did so, "Mmm, you are all mine now. Mine to claim, mine to love, mine to hold, mine to touch, mine to protect and mine to cherish. I know living here with me will be hard for you at first but.."
He gave me another peck on the cheek before lifting his head, turning it slightly to see my face fully.
He frowned, "you will soon learn to appreciate your new life, Hinata-chan. You will appreciate everything here because you will no longer suffer. You will no longer have to struggle. You will no longer have to work. You will desire nothing because you will be able to just say the things you want and all will be granted to you. You will have your privacy, I will ensure it. You'll have your own bedroom, your own bathroom, your own maids, and anything else you desire to make your life here more acceptable. I only want the best for you, Hinata-chan, and I have deemed you remaining here, right here is exactly what's best for you." The blonde whispered softly down at me, explaining my new life and all the new feats that I will obtain by dressing it up to make it sound absolutely wonderful. So it all sounded like some sort of gift.
But instead, my new life sounds like a total nightmare.
I didn't want any of it. I didn't want anything Naruto was willing to give me. I didn't want the life he has forced upon me. I didn't want to live in a home alongside a monster and be forced to see Naruto's face every waking hour knowing what he has done to me.
I do now want to turn my back on my old life and turn my back on Ureshi Udon and my dear coworkers. I do not want to leave the only family I have. I don't want to leave Neji all alone.
A sob of defeat burst out of my lips, my head still tilted away from the crazed blonde before me. But what choice do I have?
Once more, I began to hyperventilate as I felt the walls around me begin to close on me. I literally felt my freedom fly out of the window and now I was presented with only one choice.
Live a new life. Live it with Naruto Uzumaki.
There was no other choice available. No other choice for me to pick.
So I-I-I..
Naruto let out a coo as he watched me slowly come to a decision, mentally battling with my side.
His menacing blue eyes took in every detail I expressed, "Come on, just give in, my love. Choose me, choose salvation or you can choose tribulation. Rather than a life of riches, love, and fulfillment, you can choose a life of great suffering where you can spend your days weeping and crying about what is instead of accepting what can be. I give you a choice for your future because I love you, Hinata-chan. I love you with all of my heart, baby." Naruto leaned forward to give me another kiss on my cheek causing my skin to crawl.
He pulled his lips forward to drag them close to my left ear, "Now choose."
Two choices were now presented before me. A life of fulfillment with a deluded rich man or a life of great suffering with a monster.
Both choices were absolutely tragic in my eyes for I would have to subject myself to the likes of the psycho before me. I would have to learn to tolerate him, love him, and be within his presence.
I can't. I can't fall in love with this man. I can't.
But for my sake, I can't take a life of suffering. I cannot do that to myself. I've been through enough already.
The only choice that was available was the exact choice Naruto wanted.
For me to be his.
So with that, I closed my eyes briefly, summoning up the courage to decide my fate, to declare the path I would take for my future.
I let out a snivel before opening my eyes, revealing the wet tears that were beginning to fall down my cheeks again.
No. I don't want this.
"Y-Y-Yes, I'll choose y-y-you, a life of fulfillment."
No please, not like this.
"I h-have no choice s-so I'll d-d-do it. I'll be y-yours."
I hung my head in defeat after playing Naruto's game and losing, more and more tears falling down my cheeks.
Once the blonde heard my answer, heard my choice, a dark smirk slid across his tan face, a smirk of satisfaction, of ultimate triumph.
Naruto has won.
He's won.
The blonde let out a satisfying purr before moving his head over to send a peck against my lips, causing sobs to burst out of them.
He shushed my cries to caress my cheeks, touching my face freely, "Mmm, now that's a good girl. That's my good girl. Come now, let's get you all cleaned up. Your new life awaits."
