Chapter 8: Interrogation

Hinata awoke with a start and found herself laying on a clean hospital bed, in a completely different room. The memories of the night before came flooding back to her like a bad dream, but then again...Naruto asleep in her arms. She shook the thoughts away and quickly gazed around the room, the kitsune no where in sight. She coughed slightly and gripped her throat in a small sting of pain, finding it covered in bandages. Her hand traveled down to her side to find it also neatly wrapped in white. Where was Naruto? The girl could only imagine what everyone was thinking, Naruto had murdered those people without cause, or so they thought. She couldn't waste any time, who knew what the poor boy was going through.

Hinata carefully pushed herself up from the bed, her fingers clenched the sheets as agony swept over her from her side, but she tried her best to ignore it as she steadied herself on her feet.

Step by slow step she slowly made it to the door, her finger tips brushed the door knob and she smiled lightly, it turned, but it wasn't she who had done it. The door opened and there stood Kiba, Akamaru and Shino. Kiba looked at her in a perplexed gaze for a moment but he quickly shook his head and grinned at Hinata.

"Hey, you really had us worried! You were hurt pretty bad, we're surprised he didn't kill you!" Kiba exclaimed, Akamaru letting out a small bark in addition.

"Where is Naruto-kun!" Hinata asked, no, she demanded it. The pair looked at her startled,

"He's in a special room on the floor above, he's being interrogated," Shino stated.

"Please, Kiba-kun...Shino-kun, you have to help me up to him, he didn't hurt me, Naruto-kun was trying to help," the girl desperately tried to explain.

Naruto sat in a wheel chair on the 3rd floor, his hands forcefully bound to the arms of the chair by a pair of paper seals, others were placed in the middle of his chest and the seal on his stomach. Tsunade sat at a desk near the center of the room, her fingers intertwined and her head resting on them. Jiraiya, Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai, stood around the room as well, Jiraiya however stood directly behind Naruto and had a hand on the back of the chair. Tsunade had seen, and heard a good number of witnesses at this point. She read over the notes she had taken down, wanting to find something that said Naruto even appeared innocent. After all, when the pair were found they were surrounded by bodies that looked like islands in a sea of blood.

1st witness

'Our group was at a pub and we heard screaming, it was coming from the hospital, when we got their we sat the fox-kid attacking that girl, many of us tried to help but me and a few others were the only ones who lived, all the others were just killed.'

2nd witnessnurse

'I heard yelling during my shift and when I got to the hall it was coming from I could feel this immense chakra beginning to already fade, it took me a while to find the room but when I got there Naruto had completely 'collapsed' onto Hinata, his claws were slightly cutting her arm from what I remember'

And so the quotes went on, Tsunade sighed, by the conditions she had read there, when they found him, his seal was weakening and he almost went into a small 'heat' because of kyuubi's attempts to break free, it was amazing that he didn't, but luckily Naruto was calm and easily fought back. The hokage looked up at Naruto and let out a small sigh. The boy didn't even flinch when he was listening to the people spoke. Tsunade was running out of choices, they could try to reinforce the seal again but who knows what would happen, but then again, what would happen if he stayed the way he was, she looked back up at the boy once more, he had a few beads of perspiration on his face, he must of been just getting out of that heat. She looked serious for a moment, she had no right to be angry, this wasn't his fault,she then took in a breath before speaking,

"Naruto Uzumaki, I–," She was about to say. Naruto wasn't listening, his mind was only focused on the person he had protected the previous night. His strong new senses suddenly picked up the faint scent of familiar blood and that it was coming closer. He immediately began to struggle harder the seals beginning to crackle with his energy, he couldn't control himself, let alone his 'condition' only made it worse, he had to see her. Jiraiya placed his strong hands on Naruto's shoulders and firmly held him in place, or as much as he could, it was definite that Naruto was stronger in this current state. The door opened and Kiba stood there, carrying Hinata on his back, Shino standing behind him.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata called getting off of her comrades back before stumbling towards the fox. Naruto stopped struggling in that instant. Hinata quickly took hold of the chair to steady herself and bent down and wrapped her arms around the poor boy. His body was warm and he nuzzled Hinata's cheek as much as he could, letting out a small whimper.

"Hinata, you shouldn't be near him he's dangerou–," Tsunade was about to state.Hinata glarred back at the Hokage, tears sliding down her cheeks,

"No he isn't," she retorted in anger. Her team and sensei looked at her surprised, Hinata never acted like this.

"Hinata he killed those men," Jiraiya said steadily.

"But he did it to protect me, they were trying to kill him!" Hinata explained, lumps catching in her throat.

"That's not what we heard," Kakashi said his eyes narrowing. Tsunade stood up and walked over to Hinata and whispered in her ear,

"Naruto's in something similar to a 'heat' right now, he's been in one sense last night, you're lucky we found you and him before things got out of hand, he hasn't recovered at all," Tsunade whispered. Hinata blushed deeply, and she saw Naruto shift uncomfortably in his seat and she blushed more.

"Everyone, you are dismissed you are no longer needed, thank you for coming," Tsunade said as she nodded to the jounines. They nodded back and turned to leave the room. The Hokage looked back toward Hinata.

"Tell me exactly what happened," the woman requested once everyone had filed out through the door. Hinata gave a small nod and winced and sat down on the floor and then looked back up at Naruto and back at Tsunade.

"Can I–," Hinata was about to ask. The woman had a small smile, it was kind of strange seeing her so nice,

"I suppose, he isn't much of a threat right now." Naruto almost collapsed onto the floor once he was freed but Hinata slowly brought him down and laid his head on her lap. The blonde fox held on tight to her shirt and snuggled against her. Hinata stroked his head and back, feeling him tremble, he was probably being haunted by what he had done last night. So on Hinata went, trying to explain what she could without getting too over emotional.

A man stood just outside the window, his face seemed to be cut in half by two completely different shades. One side was white, the other black, matching his strange 'sliced' personality. His body seemed utterly deformed under the strange Venus-flytrap like hooded cloak he wore. His piercing eyes were directed upon Naruto, he restrained himself from just going in and taken him, after all he was told not to by a 'higher up'. The boy was in bad condition, very helpless, very weak...perfect. He smirked slightly before simply vanishing.

Okay wow finally, sorry this took so long (phew for those who dun know who that guy was, his name is zetsu from akatsuki, he is there spy. Well thats it, stay patient with me
