Woooooot!!! Chapter two! I did get a lot of lovely reviews. Thank you to all of you that did, and thank you to all of you that added me to your alert's list, makes me feel all special inside.
A/N: Just a little note since it was asked, the man that gave up his life was just a man Hinata knew when she was younger, that's all. There's no way in hell I would let poor Kiba die. Just think of him as a character of really no importance because hes not a big enough character to get into any details about.
Anyways! Im so glad that you all like this story!! Thank you thank you thank you for all the reviews.
On with the fic!

Chaos
Ch. 2 - You've Become My Obsession
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Where am I going?
Stumble.
Fall.
Shiver.
Run.
Repeat.
Stumble.
Trip.
Smack into a tree.
Fall.
Shiver.
Cry.
Jog.
Ragged breaths.
Collapse against a different tree.
Wail.
Hinata's body shook against the bitter cold, her back nestled against the tree she had just moments ago fallen against. After all that abuse shed gone to she still wasn't sure where she was going or whether or not she had truly lost the demon.
White eyes peered around the darkening forest, the only thing guiding her way was the moons clear moonlight shining through the gaps of the trees. She was so scared. Everything she thought about nature all but slapped her in the face today. She remembered when trees and the moonlight was the most beautiful thing in the world to her, she was doubting her opinion as of now.
The trees were horrible things! They tripped her after every step she made, and the moonlight only forced her to realize that the sun wasn't coming out any time soon. She was stuck in the dark with this little bit of light to help guide her way. Which wasn't much help at all she might add.
Hoohoo!
Stiffening in fear, Hinata whips her head in the direction of the wide eyed bird. Squinting her eyes she see's the noisy beast hanging comfortably on the edge of a branch watching, waiting. Its eyes snap in the direction of every little sound, slouching forward -with great speed- it dives towards the forest floor picking up a helpless mouse in it's claw like feet.
She turns away when the bird pecks at the helpless creatures neck. Putting a hand to her mouth she quietly sobs to herself. Why did this have to happen to her? What did she ever do in her life to deserve such a situation of cruelty? And god up in heaven why, why in the hell did she have to follow him! None of this would of happened if she would of followed her instincts and like a good girl, let the man keep going and stay put!
But nooo, she just had to follow him and see if he could help her. She just had to know if he was the person responsible for the destruction of her home. God she was a fool. A stupid, stupid, stupid girl.
Tears streaming down her eyes the hand against her mouth trembles against her pouting lips. Now what was she supposed to do? She was wet from sweating, tired and exhausted from all the running and tripping she had gone through, god knows she must of ran for hours. The bruises and scratches all along her arms, legs, and especially feet, were too painful for her to simply ignore. And to top that off she was cold. Terribly cold.
If she didn't find a way to build a fire or create a decent bed she would most likely die of the cold or even of the bugs crawling on the floor. She wasn't sure what was poisonous and what was not, so she was absolutely doomed if she got bit by something she couldn't see. She brought her knees up against her chest to shield herself from everything, the only position she could think to do in a situation like this.
Hinata closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the tree. She had to think of a plan, a way to get her through the night and the rest of the day. She was so lost in this massive forest, people have been known to get lost and die out in these never ending masses of green. There were no roads, no houses, absolutely nothing to tell her if she was making it closer to a town or a road.
A snap of a twig to her far left caught her attention, she immediately snapped out of her reverie. What was that? Her eyes open wide and stare in the direction where the sound was believed to have come from. She stared blindly into the darkness, heart pounding wildly in her chest. Damn the darkness of the forest! Of all the places where the moonlight didn't show, that's where something would be. Ironic.
She didn't know what was there, she didn't know if it was going to be harmless or not -but one thing she did know- she wasn't going to become a sitting duck. Her energy was at a low due to her exhausted run form earlier. But she wasn't going to give up.
Find something to try and hit it with!
I-..I don't know what-..
Grab anything. A stick, a rock, anything! Just grab something and protect yourself.
Listening to her conscience she reaches out a shaky hand behind her and feels around the forest floor. Never keeping her eyes off the open mass of darkness, where the sound came from, she bites her lip in agitation as nothing but leaves and dirt come into contact with her searching fingers.
There's nothing here..
Search harder Hinata. There's gotta be something.
Snap.
Oh no!
The outer shape, silhouette, of something catches her attention. Something was in the darkness ahead of her, or rather, someone. It didn't take long for her breathing to come out in ragged pants, or her body to start trembling all over. Now desperate she grabs a rock that her hand lightly brushes against and tightens her hold around the pointed edged mass of mineral.
"S-stay away from me!"
The silhouette became more visible, long blonde hair almost glowed out of the darkness. Or maybe that was just her eyes playing tricks on her? It didn't take long for her mind to register the person standing about 20 feet from her. Beautiful mesmerizing scarlet eyes watched her, completely void, through the mass of Cimmerian shade.
I-I-it's h-him!! Her mind screamed.
She'd been running all day! How did he catch up to her? How did he know she was here? How!? Theres no way he could of caught up to her was there?
Well obviously. He's here now is he not?
But he wasn't supposed to be. He wasn't supposed to have caught up to her, and he definitely wasn't supposed to be here while she was in such a weak state.
"I've been following you since you ran. Your very clumsy."
Hinata closed her eyes for a moment, shame all but shooting through her line of emotions. He had been with her the entire time.
"Y-you're the one that-"
"Destroyed your mediocre domicile." Came the bored reply.
Her throat burned. How could he speak of her village with such boredom, and belittle it without any care in the world. A breeze whipped past her face making her flinch when a stinging sensation vibrated down her left cheek. Ah yes, her cut, she'd forgotten about her injuries. Her free hand shakily rose to her face and wiped the opened flesh in an attempt to make the pain stop. Her heart pounded wildly when she noticed his eyes follow her movement. She swore she felt eyes on her the entire time she was running. Now she knew her fear of being watched had been true.
Her thoughts were interrupted when the sound of feet against leaves hit her shot of hearing. He stepped into the moonlight glow and watched her with curious eyes. Lips pulled back into an amused smirk, he cocks his head to the side and studies her beaten and tattered body for long moments. She shivers in response, and stiffens when his feet continue to bring him closer.
Wide, fearful, yet beautiful white eyes bore into his own. Her fear was so intoxicating to him, how could something be so fragile not be afraid? Poor thing looked like she was about to have a heart attack, not that he would care much if she did.
He found himself studying her form now, seeing as she was so fragile he wanted to know what else about her reeked of innocence. Demon women were far more beautiful than this clump of flesh before him, so there wasn't anything that really caught his attention when it came to her body. But her eyes were a different story. Her eyes reflected that of a deer's caught in headlights, completely in a fear filled trance.
That's it girl, fear me. It only amuses me more.
He's rudely brought out of his reverie by a sudden panicked command from the raven haired girl before him. Rock in her hand, she stands shakily to her feet and takes a step to the left of the tree she was currently huddling pathetically against.
"Don't c-come any closer t-to m-me!"
It was amazing how she stood there ready to fight him with nothing more than a mass of minerals. The mere audacity of her standing in front of him with a rock for a weapon was enough to make him want to strike the girl down brutally. How dare she stand before him, a demon that could kill her with but a pinky, and challenge him with a rock for a weapon? Was the mortal mocking him??
Narrowing his eyes dangerously he sneers at the girl before him, taking a step closer and refusing to listen to her foolish demand. As if he'd ever take orders from a human. What a stupid girl. Did she really think she could get away? Did the naive girl actually think that she could fight and protect herself with that thing when he had a sword longer than her whole body that could cut her in half? Hell a mere twitch of his wrist and the girl could have any of her limbs decapitated. The need to taunt the little innocent being before him grew with second that ticked away.
"Or what? What will you do little human?"
Despite her insolence, he couldn't help but wonder whether or not she'd actually use It against him. It was starting to amuse him now. Would she throw it at him or would she actually try to stab him if he got too close? She seemed so frail and innocent, the idea of her trying to hurt him -let alone kill him- seemed rather foolish and idiotic.
"I-..I'll.. I-…" Stuttering uncontrollably she takes another step back.
His powerful foot falls decrease the space between them, with her being so small her own trembling steps backwards didn't meet the same length as his long ones moving forward. His smirk twisted into a grin, fangs hanging out lightly, when she continued to stumble backwards in an attempt to back away from him and keep distance between them. His eyes a perfect example of a bete noir, never once left hers.
I feed off your fear, give me all of it. I want to taste more…
"N-no! Stop getting c-closer to m-me, I-..I-I-ill s-scream." She cried out desperately.
"Finally got your mouth to start working eh?" The grin on the demons face formed into a twisted smile. "Scream..?"
With blurred movements the demon appeared right in front of the young girl making her scream in fear and shock. Clearly taken off guard she, out of impulse, shot backwards and found herself ramming her back roughly into another tree. How did that tree get there? Movement like a cobra he did a flash step to close the gap between them and slammed his palms roughly on either side of her head into the tree trunk. The impact earned a loud crinkling noise into the air. Hinata jumped in response to his close proximity.
"Please do, scream, I won't mind." Voice deep and alluring her watched her eyes immediately close shut.
Anger shot through his system in waves. Closing her eyes at him will she? Absolutely not. Intolerable. He wanted to see her fear. The look in her eyes was something akin to horror and tears, he wanted to see that look again.
"Look at me!" He barked.
Snapping her eyes open her breath hitched at the closeness of his form. If anyone, in any casual condition, had seen this they would of thought the two were lovers. His close proximity, his head bent down towards her, not to mention his arms boxing her closer to his body didn't help her situation.
He was invading her personal space, no better yet he was violating her personal space. Ravagely forcing no distance between them, heat against heat. God it was slightly embarrassing. Hinata had never been this close to a male before - never. She kept to herself, and when boys did try to coax her into letting them- she would ignore them. They never tried to physically force her though, unlike this brute.
"G-get away from m-me." Stuttering low in her throat he might not of even hear her if he didn't have hyper sensitive hearing.
"No." He replied coldly.
He leaned closer, shattering her personal bubble completely. Instinctively her hands were pressed against on his rock hard chest and trying in vain to push him back. The touch was electrifying, Naruto leaned into her -ignoring her hands- and buried his face into her neck.
"D-don't!" Her piercing scream made him flinch in pain, he growled against her skin.
"Be still girl, if you wish to live." Apparently she wished to live because she stopped all her movements and clamped her mouth shut with a sharp sound of teeth hitting teeth.
He had been irked the entire time about this girls scent. For some reason it was driving him mad, and he needed to know why. Sucking in a deep breathe he released it with an animalistic grown. His nails contracted, nose flaring, his pupils dilated for a brief moment.
She was a virgin. Blissful innocence all but leaked off her.
That's why he was so attuned and drawn to her. Her sweet purity was calling to his animal side. It was taking a lot of self control just to keep himself from ripping off her clothes and violating her to the point of no repair. With his demonic side purring for her he couldn't find it in himself to pull away from her, however.
As much as she wanted him gone, he wasn't going to. But this was…odd. See even though she was innocent it shouldn't have an affect on him what so ever. He's been around plenty of virgin women, and hes never -never - had this reaction before. She smelled so…so… delicious.
Snuggling his face further into her warm neck his jaw tingled a bit, The urge to taste her sent tingles in his mouth. If she smelled innocent no doubt she'd taste innocent also. Making up his mind to not do anything that would make the girl faint, since her heart was beating faster than a humming birds wings, she took a reluctant step back from her, allow his hands to fall to his sides.
She shuddered under his hard stare. Void and completely red, they looked so beautiful. Despite how enchanting they were, she still refused to look clear into them. Her eyes remained down cast the moment he allowed her to breathe and have some personal space - which still wasn't much.
"W-what are you going t-to do to m-me?" She whispered softly.
Heh. He hadn't even thought of that yet. He was so wrapped up in following her and catching her scent he didn't even think what he would do with her. Killing her would be the only logical thing to do, but why waste something that smelled as mouth watering as her?
Mouth watering? His aura darkened, his eyes narrowed viciously on the human before him. She was human. He despised humans! Refused to have any sort of attraction or even affiliation with them. For nearly a hundred years he'd never found need in any mortals. So why now?
Why her?..
That was his biggest question. Unbeknownst to him, she was having the same line of thought.
Why me?
It wasn't particularly him that was interested in her, it was his possessive side. A side of him that he thought would never be shown or present. Apparently demons contain two sides of 'personalities.' They're destructive side, and -believe it or not- loving side. Although both are twisted, they play very important roles in a demons life.
The destructive side is the side of a demon that wants everything to do with pain, blood, and fear. Typical side that humans see demons in. The loving side -also known as the hidden side- is the part of the demon that shows attraction, love, and yearning for a mate.
So this human girl smelling like a goddess to him, was bad.
Very bad.
It meant that his demon - approved.
Normally demons don't have interest in humans, its not impossible but it is rare. Demons always take demons as mates. Humans are fragile, and die very soon. Demons are powerful, and live for many centuries. The main reasons why demons don't take humans as mates. Not only that, humans have a tendency to smell like their lovers. Which causes too much attraction from other demons that wish to claim them. Nothings better than claiming the lover of another demon, there was no better high than knowing you just stole someone else's property.
Taking on the scent of the demon lover always happens to a human. Even if they weren't lovers though the scent of a demon sticks to a human like glue. Why? It's not known nor clear. Whatever the case humans are highly sticky to any sort of fragrance or scent they are in contact with. Hell the mere brushing up against one will leave a demons scent all over that human for weeks. Like right now.
His scent is all over her. With a hint of flowers the girl was reeking of him.
Good.
His eyes took on a possessive tint. He couldn't kill her now, that much was obvious. The little wench managed to catch his inner demons attention - fuck. He could just release her, but should another demon smell her he'd want to take her just for the sake of taking her away from him. This did not suit well with him, in response to the thought a low growl rumbled in the air.
Thinking her question had angered him Hinata stiffened in fear and bit her lower lip in panic. God why couldn't things go good for her? Regaining composure the demon closed his eyes and sighed low.
"Heh, lets go Madchen."
Blinking in surprise she stares up at him, her raven locks swishing against her cheeks. Did he just say they were leaving? No no no no no! No way was she going anywhere with this monster! He had destroyed everything she ever loved, how could he just tell her to follow him like she was some sort of dog?
"N-no." She whispered angrily.
He rose an eyebrow at her and continued to stare at her with an uncaring expression.
"You have two choices Madchen, you can either come willingly or forced. Either way, your coming." His tone was harsh. She gulped in response.
"I-..I wont go!"
Her growled at her defiance. Stupid woman.
He took a step forward ready to snatch her wrist and force to come to him, when all of a sudden, he found himself dodging an intended stab from the sharp clump of mineral in the girls hand. Apparently his earlier question on whether she'd use it or not had been answered.
Grasping her wrist with ease he squeezed her hand painfully forcing her to drop the rock before bending forward and throwing her non too gently over his left shoulder. Screaming she pounded her fist into his back, her hands clawed at his long blond hair hanging loosely all the way down to his waist.
"Let me go!"
"Do you really want me to let you go? A 6'3 fall sounds painful." He added casually, keeping her struggling form in place with his left arm reached back and snaked around her waist tightly.
"N-no!" She went rigid.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
Hinata groaned painfully against the demons back. Her face buried deep in his shoulder blade she winced again as her pelvis ached in pain. After a couple hours of hanging over his shoulder she found that it was starting to hurt - a lot. How she even survived for so long was beyond her. He didn't seem to notice the fact that she was in pain. Typical.
"C-can you please put me d-down?" Hinata bit her lip when his arm tightened around her waist.
His answer was clear by his actions. Great, a no.
"P-please.. I-it hurts.." Wincing again as his shoulder's bone connected with her pelvis.
"Heh."
Hinata sighed in relief when she felt her the pressure on her pelvis reside and she found herself scooting down the front of his body. Her relief was short lived however, because she was now being held bridal style. Head resting neatly against his chest she closes her eyes in embarrassment, his gaze is now on her.
She couldn't really see him staring at her since it was still pitch black in the forest, but she could definitely feel his eyes on her. Without much thought she laid her head against his chest and buried her face. She didn't like the feeling of him watching her, it made her nervous. Why was he staring at her anyways?
"Its p-pitch black out here." Se finally said, after hours of silence.
"Heh." She frowned at his noise as an answer.
"How can you s-see in the d-dark?" She whispered. Not trusting him, and fearing she might hit a tree soon.
"Night vision." Hinata's lips formed a thin line.
"Oh." She still believed she'd hit a tree soon.
Naruto closed his eyes. In truth he didn't even need his night vision to know where he was going because he could sense everything that went on around him. So he could avoid every tree, branch, bush, even flying bug coming his way without having to open his eyes.
"Get some sleep. Your body's weak."
Hinata blinked a moment before his words registered in her mind. She shuddered when she realized that -yes- she was very much tired. But she didn't want to go to sleep. She would rather stay up all night then fall asleep, a day without rest was just fine with her. Who knows what kind of sick things he was plotting to do while she slept!
I doubt he'd do anything. Hes using both his hands to keep you up you know..
I-I know but still. You never know…
She remained awake for another 15 minutes before her body slackened in his grip and she relaxed, he noticed immediately when she fell asleep. Her breathing became even and her body fell into full reliance on him.
Being as gentle and careful so as not to wake her, he managed to lift her body up slightly and lean down to get a nice sniff of her again.
A inwardly growled.
Her blood was filling his senses, he needed to get her somewhere so her body could be trated properly. If left un attended for too long she runs the possible risk of getting extremely sick and getting infected with something. He didn't need any sort of medicine or stuff, in fact, those wounds of her -had they of been on him- would of healed in 10 minutes. Bruises, scrapes, cuts and all.
Like he said.
Humans were far too fragile. In a way they were like fruits. Easily bruised and yet smelled and tasted delicious. At least, this particular human was. Some humans smelled horrible. And don't taste very good either.
The slight shifting in his arms caught his attention. Looking down at the woman in his arms he noted how the girl snuggled closer to his chest, her body shivering from the cool nights breeze.
Yah, he definitely needed to take her somewhere so she could get cleaned up and have a nice place to sleep. Too bad there wasn't anything for miles, and running would disturb her and wake her up. His eyes scanned the dark forest before his left ear twitched. The hallow sound of wind echoing caught his attention. A cave no doubt.
He debated for a moment on whether he should take her to the cave not too far from them or just keep heading in the direction where another village was at. The girl shuddered again.
Cave it is.
-
-
The cave was very cold and filled with nothing but bats. Luckily there were no animals except them. He's positive the young girl would not be happy waking up to seeing him wrestling a bear just for the right to take the cave. Wresting a bear… he almost laughed at the thought. Almost.
Reaching a nice distance into the cave he lightly put the girl down, setting her on the ground wasn't much of a problem, however trying to get the girl away from him proved to be difficult. The moment he tried to move the girl from his body she whimpered and only snuggled closer to him.
Damn humans. Always so clingy.
The thought of yanking her away from him and dropping her on the floor passed through his mind. However he disregarded the idea with a sigh and instead settled on lying on the ground and wrapping his arms tightly around her form. She was shivering against him, it wouldn't take long for her to warm up though. Another good thing about demons was their bodies naturally adapted to any kind of weather. Right now his body was very hot and not about to come down in temperature anytime soon. Well unless he willed it so.
Her tiny frame was pressed so firmly against his own, he growled low in his throat again. His demon side was purring softly in want. Yes. He wanted her. However that part of him would soon fade, that he was positive about.
His emotions and moods never stayed the same all the time. By tomorrow he'd most likely be his cold and cruel self. He wondered what he'd do to the girl. She was a nuisance to him, the stupid mortal. God he truly hated humans. Loathed the damn creatures. Yet he felt so entitled to make this girl his? This human - his?
Absurd.
Preposterous.
The very thought was making him sick to his stomach. Yet his actions contradict his thoughts. Despite how much he keeps thinking about killing, destroying and loathing the human race, he's still holding onto and protectively trapping a human to his side. If he were in his normal state he would of shoved her away from him and decapitated her head.
Something was forcing him to act different when it came to her. Catching a whiff of her scent he immediately had a clue as to what exactly it was. Fuck. It annoyed him greatly, bothered him to the point where he wanted to do back-flip's off the top of the ceiling.
Why was she clinging to him as if he was her savior when it was his fault her family, friends, and very home were destroyed?
Crimson eyes stared down at the peaceful sleeping form. Her face looked so innocent and soft. Both hands were clutching the front of his shirt, probably to make sure that he didn't leave without her knowing about it.
Both sides of his demon personality called for different things from this girl. He was a danger to her in every fuckin way. And yet she clung to him as If he was her knight in shining armor. He scoffed silently. Humans were fools, he's said it time and again! And -time and again- they've proven him correct. Like now. A perfect example. They're too trusting, too naïve, too fragile.
A blood thirst all up striked his mind with a vengeance, his arms that were wrapped around the young woman's waist suddenly grew tighter, the nails on his fingers began tearing into her clothing. She didn't feel it at first, but the more his need to draw and see blood grew the more she seemed to squirm against his body unconsciously.
It was then that his other demonic personality stabilized and nearly completely vanquished his blood lust side. The aching in his body, the growing need to be close to the girl was on the brink of driving him insane. He wanted to possess her right now, with her tiny form clinging against his so intimately. She was warm now, and her body was so soft compared to his rough muscles and hard chest.
And her scent. God did he want so badly to claim her as his. To purposely mingle her scent with his forever. That was the difference between mating and carrying your lovers scent and merely being in the presence of a demon and having his scent on you. When your body is promised to that demon your scent takes on the scent of your demon permanently.
Right now she smelled of him, but should she take a bath his scent would be washed away.
His scent would be washed away…
Why did that make him feel so angry? He obsession over this girl changed dramatically in a matter of hours. This was bad.. Very bad.
Extremely bad. He needed to get away from this woman as soon as possible. The wench was becoming an obsession for him.
The demon groaned inwardly as he fought between his lust for drawing her blood and his want for claiming her as his own for eternity.
He had a feeling the night was going to be a long and torturous one.
Great, fuckin great.
X/x/X/x/X/x/X/x/X/x/X/
Bwuahahahaha!! I wanted you guys to see that for a demon, when you find your rightful 'mate' it takes but a couple hours for you to be totally devoted and in love with them.
Too bad Narutos got a real bad love for blood and death. Poor Hinata.
Read Please :
Incase any of you were wondering "Madchen" means - Girl - in German.
The reason why I chose it was because saying 'girl' over and over again in English is a drag. And I love how Naruto refers to Hinata as nothing more that 'woman' or 'girl.' And too many people use Japanese for their writing, So I figured, why not add some spice?
Anyways R & R, please tell me what you think. If you don't review I don't know if it's worth anyone's time to continue with this. Ty.
