Chapter 8

Steele cracked a smile as he charged towards Hinata, the bloody kunai still in his hand. Hinata's eyes widened as the refrigerator of man came towards her at a furious pace. Steele dropped his shoulder down low, and with the blink of an ice, it met Hinata's chest, lifting her into the air. Steele grabbed her hand though, and slammed her onto the ground. A blood curdling scream came from Hinata's mouth.

"Hey… gorilla breath!" Shino yelled, as he stood up. His eyes showed obvious raged. Steele let go of Hinata's hand and looked over at Shino.

"Still alive I see… all the more fun…" He said as he charged at Shino, amazingly Shino fluently side stepped out of Steele's path. Steele came sliding to a halt. "Stand still…" He snorted.

"Fine, I will…" Shino replied, sticking his hands into his pockets. Steele charged at him again, but Shino jumped over his head, pulling his hands out with shurikens.

"Hey…" Steele start, as he felt multiple piercing pains on his back. Hitana looked up to see the gargantuan man fall in front of her.

"Is that it…" She said quietly, coming closer to inspect his body.

"Not quiet yet!" Steele yelled grabbing Hinata's arm.

"Let go!" She screamed, has he took his other hand, and grabbed the same arm. "What are you doing?" Hinata yelled, yanking on her arm, but Steele just squeezed tighter and tighter. The sickening pops of her bones came.

"Suffer!" Steele yelled, turning Hinata's arm into mush in his hands. Hinata screamed and screamed, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. A whistling sound came from above. It was Steele's giant shuriken, some one threw it back. It landed with a loud clank, pinning one of his arms.

"Help me!" Hinata yelled as Steele was distracted. A black flash behind her, quickly lifting her body and brining her beside Shino.

"Are you all right?" The figure asked, laying her on the ground. Shino straighten himself, as he picked up his glasses.

"You must be the anbu there has been so many complaints about…" Shino said quietly.

"Maybe I am… how ever, you need to get moving, that shuriken isn't going to hold him long…" the figure said.

"What's your name?" Shino asked.

"X…" the figure replied. Shino nodded gently picking up Hinata before jumping away. X watched them to make sure they were far away before he turned to Steele. "You… you tried to kill something precious to me…" he said.

"And what makes you think I care?" Steele replied laughing. X walked up to the side of Steele.

"Do you cherish your life?" X asked.

"I don't give a fuck what happens!" Steele yelled. X picked up his foot and placed it on Steele's throat, pressing.

"Convince me you should live!" X yelled. Steele could only cough. X's leg fell slowly as Steele's trachea collapsed.

X sighed as he came up to the door of his house. How was he to tell his sister that he snuck out anyways, Hinata was injured, and by the way a man is lying dead in the forest. The door creaked open slowly. He gave a sigh of relief as everything appeared as it was when he left.

"Care to explain…" Misty asked, sitting with her back to the door, sipping some tea.

"Well I couldn't… well you know…" Xavier started.

"You couldn't what? I know what?" Misty asked, a saddened tone in her voice.

"Why did you have to wake up!" Xavier demanded.

"Us females have a way of knowing… Because I'm your sister, and I care for you, now what happened?" Misty replied.

"Nothing happened… I just went out for a walk…" Xavier said as he began to head back out the door.

"Your covered in blood…" Misty said. Xavier looked down, to see Hinata's blood was still dripping from him. Xavier looked back at Misty, a saddened look on his face. Misty got up, and embraced her brother. A few warm tears fell from his eyes.

"They were attacked…" He said slowly. "I didn't want to worry you when I left… so I waited for you to go to sleep…" Xavier added.

"Where are they?" Misty asked quietly.

"I don't know… I sent Shino with Hinata back here… I came straight home…" Xavier said, his stomach started to sink.

"What else happened?" Misty asked.

"In a blind rage… I killed their attacker…" Xavier replied.

"So what's wrong? You killed the person who tried to mug Hinata…" Misty started.

"Sissy… then was different… I didn't love her then!" He yelled pushing her away.

"Xavier…" Misty said softly. Xavier just stood their, his face full of fear. The same look that was on his face the day his parents died. "Come on… lets get you cleaned up…" Misty said as she guided him to the rest room.

The newly clothed Xavier and Misty made their way quickly to the hospital, where they were met by Kiba. No words were said, it was clear what their intentions were. The three burst through the door to see Tsunade and Kurenai talking in the waiting area, Shino and Hinata no where to be seen.

"Don't worry, just be gentle on the foot for a while, as for your back you may feel mild pain every once in a while…" Tsunade said, as Kurenai began to look disgruntled.

"How long do I need to wait?" Kurenai asked reluctantly.

"A month at least…" Tsunade said, noticing Xavier, Misty, and Kiba.

"Where's…" Kiba puffed, "Shino… and… Hinata?" he asked. Tsunade sighed.

"Shino's in room 5... Hinata is in room 7..." She said, knowing they weren't going to like what they saw. The three ran to see Shino first.

"Hey… how are you doing?" Misty asked, softly. Shino simply turned his head away. Kiba snuck a look at his chart.

"He's fine… seems the worst injury was a blow to his ego!" Kiba said with a hearty laugh, cause Misty to giggle softly. But then it hit them, what about Hinata? Xavier quickly dashed out of Shino's room into Hinata's. His stomach fell as his eyes wandered. She had been stripped of her clothes and bandaged up. Multiple bloody spots appeared from under the bandages. She laid there, as if lifeless.

"Her body took the hardest hit…" Tsunade said, placing a hand on Xavier's shoulder. "She lost a lot of blood, and most of her body was mangled…" She added.

"Is she going… going to…" Xavier stumbled on his words.

"Is she going to die? Oh no… not with me she isn't…" Tsunade replied, mussing Xavier's hair. "How ever, she's going to be out of action for a while… at least until her arm gets in better condition…" she added. Misty stood out side of the door looking in.

"When can she leave?" Xavier asked quietly.

"When she feels like she can do most things on her own… not within the next couple of days though…" Tsunade said. Xavier sighed, walking towards the door. Misty tripped on her self trying to get out of his way. Silent tears fell from his face.

"Xavier!" Misty yelled, chasing him out of the hospital.

Misty wandered around quietly, some how she lost her brothers trail, and she was worried. "Xavier!" she called out, as people gave weird looks to her. She did what she could to ignore them. Her brother was hurting, and she had failed to comfort him.

"What's going on?" a voice called, catching Misty's attention.

"Xavier has ran off, Naruto! Have you heard about Hinata and her team?" Misty replied. Naruto got a weird look on his face. "Come with me, I will explain…" Misty said.

"So what happened?" Naruto asked calmly as possible.

"Hinata and her team got attacked, and apparently they got hurt pretty badly, Hinata getting the worst of it…" Misty started.

"But why are you looking for your brother?" Naruto asked.

"He… well…" Misty said, as she stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Naruto said.

"He loves her…" Misty said quietly. Naruto stood their with his blank expression. "He blames himself… he believes he should have been there to help…" Misty added. Naruto let out a smile.

"Your brother may not talk much, but he's not stupid!" Naruto replied.

"I hope so…" Misty said.

I'm sorry those who has been gracious enough to continue reading this, I've had to deal with a few family issues which caused the lack of up dating.
