A Soundless Place

Disclaimer: I dun own this (Naruto) if I did well it'd be more a horror then what it is now…I do however own the plot!

"What's here?" Neji asked holding a now cleaned up Hinata in his arms. All propriety had gone as Neji held onto Hinata without care. Hanabi was cradled against Sasuke crying staring at the now covered up, lifeless body of Kiba.

The old man stepped forward towards Neji, his Byakuga activated for a moment before staring at the young couple in disgust.

"I see."

Neji lifted a brow staring at the old man before clenching his fist. Hinata also noticed this an stared at Neji.

"What?"

The old man sighed.

"You go against our rules and take her before she is a bride…not that it still matters. We shall soon die."

"What were you saying before? What is coming?"

The old man looked at Hiashi, asking for his permission. When Hiashi nodded the old man began his tale.

"The progenitor of the Hyuuga was a demon…"

"Just slow down Shikamaru, tell us again what happened."

Shikamaru looked annoyed at the wife of the Hokage before he again explained what he saw.

"Evil thing killing branch house member then asking if I would like the same fate. That's it, the whole damn troublesome truth! I don't know what the fuck it was and I sure as hell am not going to go back."

Naruto peered at his friend, dressed in his formal Hokage clothes.

"I'm not asking you to go back. No one is expecting that. What ever it was that you saw…"

"I ran into Kiba on the way over here, he said that he was going to check it out."

"What?"

"Oh no…"

There was a knock on the door as Ten-Ten and Rock Lee entered the room. They looked slightly alarmed but regained their stoic faces.

"Ten-Ten, Bushy-Brows, what information have you gathered?"

Rock Lee bowed slightly as did Ten-Ten before speaking.

"The entire Hyuuga compound has been engulfed by mist…also-"

Ten-Ten's eyes watered.

"When we got there, before the mist completely took over we saw Kiba Inuzuka, he was…killed."

The room grew quiet, Ten-Ten cried into Lee's form as he soothed her. It was well known that Kiba and Ten-Ten were involved, they were to be married that month but now…

"Under my orders, no one is to enter the Hyuuga premises."

Lee's eyes hardened, questioning burning in them as well.

"Naruto, why? Neji and Hinata are there as well as Sasuke and you just want us to-"

"Sasuke is there?"

Lee nodded.

"Yes."

Naruto thought for a moment before getting serious again.

"You are not to go there."

"Damn it Naruto, why the hell not?"

Naruto just glared at Lee.

"Lee, I am Hokage, you will do what I say!"

"Demon?"

The old man nodded.

"Yes. This demon bred with a Hyuuga woman thus creating Byakugan, but as the years have worn on and witnessing it's children abuse this gift it has decided to take it back."

Neji held Hinata tighter to him.

"Take it back? You mean Byakuga? So we would have normal human eyes?"

"No." The old man said "It wants our blood trait and subsequently our lives."

As this was said a dark figure appeared behind the old Hyuuga and in an instant shoved it's clawed hands down his throat, breaking him like it did the branch member. Blood spewed everywhere as it then tore off his head. Hinata screamed as did Hanabi in agony. The men stood in front of them to protect them horrified of what they saw and then in an instant the thing was gone, leaving to corpses in it's wake and a note on the wall written in blood.

'THE TIME IS NOW'

Hinata and Neji stared at one another before looking back at the corpse. They were all in danger, they would all die and yet both were prepared. If it were together then it was alright.

"Sasuke, I don't want to die!" Hanabi hugged Sasuke.

"Then you wont. We'll get out alive Hanabi." He said kissing her softly. "We'll get out alive, together I promise."

SERA: Alright, another person dead. I feel bad for Kiba, even for the old guy.

Hinata: Please review!
