Horray for all the fans of this story. I have decided that my other Naruto idea was complete crap, and decided to reinstate this fic. Horray once again. Also, due to my new policy on Lemons, check my profile.
Chapter 9: Awakenings
Lithak stood up. He had been sitting and watching over Hinata for a day now. Her condition had improved rapidly. She would, however, have a scar on her stomache for the rest of her life. Not even Jutsu could heal something like that. Neji looked at him from the door. Lithak didn't even appear to notice. 'The only thing he's done other than sit there and eat. He trains once in a while, but he looks really worried,' thought Neji. Suddenly, Hinata began to stir. Lithak was immediately broken out of his trance, almost as fast to Hinata's side as Neji was. "Hinata?" said Lithak. She looked drowsily up at him, "Is that you Lithak, Neji." Her head rolled back on to the pillow, and she muttered, "I'm so weak." Lithak shook his head, "Right now you are. But you're not weak, to do what you did back there. Just rest, I'll be here."
When Hinata awoke again, Lithak was sleeping next to her, his arm protectively around her. She started to shiver, and pulled him closer. She could feel his grip instinctively tighten. His eyes shot open, and she found herself staring into large dark pearls. He moved in and kissed her, then pulled back. She grabbed his head, and pulled him back in. Soon, they were 'tongue wrestling' violently. They fell asleep once more, embraced in each others arms.
When they woke, up, they stared at each other for a while. "Hinata," said Lithak ,"About last night, it was so sudden, and I kinda lost it." Hinata weakly touched her finger on his lips, "It's alright. I have no regrets. Just...stay with me."
Lithak soon showered (it was awkward, because it wasn't his) Then, he brought Hinata in something to eat. She was making a fast recovery. "Hinata, I thought of a training excersise for you to do in bed," Lithak said. He turned Hinata facing away from him, and held up 3 fingers. "Activate Byakugan. I want you to constantly follow these fingers. I know exactly where your blind spot is. I don't want you to let even one of these fingers out of your sight." They went through the excersise a few times, but Hinata couldn't grasp it. He reached up and grabbed her head, and spun her around. She flinched, preparing for the strike. It never came, instead, she felt his hand on her forehead. He held it there for a second, then started to guide hear head. "If you see the finger moving out of your sight, adjust your head vertically, so that it moves back above the blind spot," he said. He tried again, and, after a couple of tries, Hinata was successful.
Lithak layed in bed with Hinata for a while. Eventually, he got up, and went to get some stuff to cheer up Hinata. After unsuccessfully finding something to cheer her up, he headed back to the Hyuuga residence. When he arrived, Neji wasn't in the living room. 'Probably out getting some stuff,' thought Lithak. He walked in to Hinata's room and found a rather large whole in the wall. He ran outside, and found Neji lying on the ground, moaning. Lithak ran past him, pursuing the people he could see running away. They had Hinata, he knew it. Someone was making an attempt at the Byakugan. From what he heard from Neji, another attempt at Byakugan.
He suddenly felt his speed increase. He had caught up to them in no time. In fact, he zoomed rght past them, slashing one in the arm. He stopped in the path of the mysterious ninja. 'I would recognize those jackets anytime,' thought Lithak. The men in Akatsuki jackets placed Hinata on the ground, and the one with silver skin drew a large sword, peeling the wrappings off of it. "It's been a while," exclaimed Lithak, looking from one to the other, "Itachi and Kisame." They lowered their face masks. "Lithak Inumori. You caused us quite a bit of trouble back in the Sky Village," said Itachi, "Let's get this over with. Our boss would rather like to have his package now." Lithak nodded, and lowered into a strange stance. "You're going to use that style on us. I'm honored, just hurry up and attack," said Kisame. Lithak wrinkled up his face and said, "Inumori style. Devil Whisperer."
Kisame lunged forward, and Lithak dodged. He brought his hand into his neck, and Kisame reeled back in pain. "He hit your pressure point Kisame," said Itachi. Lithak looked back and forth. He couldn't take these 2 by himself. The only option for nowwas to retreat. Or, he could use...it. Retreating wasn't an option, so he put his fingers together. "Release," he said. Suddenly, he collapsed. When he stood back up, the purple mark was on his face. However, there was also a new mark growing under the original. "Onimaru, Level 2," he said. He lunged forward, and launched his fingers into Kisame's chest. Kisame coughed up some blood. Suddenly, a Kunai shot out of Lithak's sleeve, and into Kisame's chest.
Kisame fell unconcious, and Itachi stepped up. "The outcome of this match will not change," he said. Lithak didn't speak, he just growled, and leaped towards Itachi. Itachi continuously dodged Lithaks attacks. Lithak tried to go for different area's, but each attack was dodged by itachi. Suddenly, a kunai flew from a bush, hitting Itachi in the back. Using this distraction, Lithak landed a blow under Itachi's chin, then one on each side of his neck. Itachi fell to the ground. Naruto stepped out of a bush. "What's with the extra line on your face," Naruto said. Lithak's face was starting to return to normal. "I guess I'll have to explain this to you to," Lithak said, now completely normal, "most people have 8 Chakra gates. People with demons sealed inside them, like you, me, and Gaara of the Desert, have 3. Also, opening these gates is less dangerous than opening the normal gates, because it can't kill you. Normally, we can only access our normal chakra and a limited amount of the demons chakra. By opening the first gate, it takes away the limit on how much chakra we can use. Obviously, as you know, we pretty much go into an enraged state, unless we control it, which we can. By opening gate 2, we release the strength of the demon, and it's chakra consumes us. by opening gate 3, it pretty much super boosts everything we do, Jutsu included." Lithak stopped for a moment, the grabbed Hinata, who was now concious. "Lithak," she said, "what was that style you were using? It looked kinda like Jyuuken." "It's a variation," answered Lithak, "I call it the Devil Whisperer. It's basically like Jyuuken, except I memorize pressure points on peoples bodies, and go for pressure points, not Chakra points." Hinata nodded, and stared blankly at nothing once more.
