"Hurry up and do it."
"No."
"Do it."
"No!"
"Woman…"
"I d-don't want to."
"Madchen-"
"I said I don't want t-to!'
"Woman. You're really trying my patience."
Hinata took a step back and shook her head. If there was one thing she was absolutely certain to not do, it was just that. He would never understand, he was strong, powerful, and would probably be able to defend himself at any time. She was not. She could not stop it if it brought her under the surface, never allowing her to rise ever again.
She shivered at the thought.
Naruto stared at her with a very cold stare. Crossing his arms over his large chest he sniffed the air for a moment before stepping towards her. As usual she was contemplating and disobeying his orders. The stupid woman, having his back turned to him, she stepped back again and bumped into his folded arms.
"Eeep!" She squeaked and spun around to face him.
"I said it was safe. Now hurry up." He looked down on her.
Hinata shook her head vigorously, refusing to even think over his command. No way!
"N-no!"
If Naruto could, he would have strangled the girl right then. Just what the hell was she flipping out for anyways? He had no patience for this mortal. Enough was enough. She was going in whether she wanted to or not.
"Enough. You're going in."
Lashing out his right arm he wrapped it around her waist and picked her up. With his left swaying calmly to his side he squeezed the girl closer to his ribs when she began her fit of kicking and screaming. Typical girl. Always screaming and yelling about something. Too bad for her he could keep her in place with merely one finger if he truly wanted to.
"No! Please! The crocodiles!" Naruto wrinkled his nose in disgust. Such idiocy.
Of all the ridiculous things to be afraid of, Hell right now Naruto was debating on being offended at her little comment. Afraid of crocodiles more than him, this woman was such a fool. Naruto really wanted to chop this girls head off right now. Speaking of the girl, she was really freaking right now. He was so calm, so collective, if anyone would have seen the girl thrashing in his one arm embrace they probably would have thought he was some inhumane being trying to rape this girl. Naruto's body wasn't even moving.
"Girl, does this look like a swamp to you?" He stated more than asked.
"N-no." She whimpered softly.
"Then there are no crocodiles." Hinata shook her head in disbelief.
"B-but.. "
"It's a waterfall, Madchen. There's nothing here." Naruto was really trying his hardest not to go through with his plan to throw her into the water.
"I-I'm.." She mumbled, wide eyed.
Fuck this.
Planting his feet a mere foot from the water he flexed his muscles in an attempt to give her a warning that he was going to throw her in. For any other person in the world he would have not cared and continued what he was doing. If anyone else had screamed it his heart would of never skipped a beat. If it would of left anyone else's lips he would not of faltered in his actions.
"I'm scared!" She choked out.
His whole body stilled. Blood red eyes fall upon the beautiful angelic face, her muscles were tensed. Biting her low lip in fear and eyeing the water with such horror, he couldn't bring himself to throw the girl into the water all by herself. Not when she looked so…helpless.
God.. Did anyone else think he sounded pathetic at that moment? He sure as hell did.
Naruto hissed at himself for his slight weakness, as of that moment he really wanted nothing more than to have the courage to crush her to pieces. It would seem that he was a coward when it came to this little mortal, not a very happy thing to admit to. When he tried to think of going through with his actions, his body responded by not doing what it was told. A betrayal he was not accustomed to, nor was he planning on getting used to it.
The girl was placed gently back on her feet. A warning snarl ripped from the male demons lips when the shaking girl immediately clung to his arm in attempt for safety. Oh real smart, cling to the person that very nearly threatened to throw you into the very object of your earlier fears. God, he really wanted to break this retarded bitch's neck. Why did she always seem to do that to him? Why was it that she always looked to him for comfort when he was the one that started it in the first place?
For a moment he allowed his mind to wander to earlier that morning when she snuggled close to his chest. He absolutely refused to let his mind recall what he had felt about that little display of affection from her. He didn't know his right hand was slightly caressing bruise spots on her back, until he felt her arch into his hand lightly.
Naruto did not pity her for what he'd done. In any case, he'd say she deserved it.
He does not take pity on mortals.
And he especially doesn't take pity on annoying little girls that have a problem with seeking comfort from blood lusting demons that could kill her relatively easily.
So being a demon..
Being Naruto..
Being the Demon Naruto..
He could not handle the thought of having this girl even a tad bit attached to him; he had to prove to himself and both his personalities that he wasn't going to allow this girl to overtake him.
Never.
He ripped the girl off of his body and threw her mercilessly out into the deep end of the open water. A sense of Déjà vu flashed across his mind for a moment, he ignored it. The loud roaring of water made his lips quirk up into a smirk. After feeling that his work had been done he turned his back on the girl, and began making his journey away from her. If it was one thing Naruto knew would drive him insane, it would be watching her bathe.
No way in hell was he going to stand around waiting for the girl to clean herself up. For more than obvious reasons.
The moment Hinata felt her body hit the cool sensation of water it was like feeling your death coming to see you. She forgot to mention to the asshole of a demon that she could not swim.
Yes.
That's right.
She didn't know how to swim. Fuck.
-
Naruto continued his journey away from the young woman, until his demonic senses tingled in the back of his head.
The woman didn't surface.
He hadn't heard anything since he'd thrown her into the mass of liquid. Ear twitching lightly, all he could hear was roaring sound of the waterfall. The sway of leaves brushing against one another, and even the sound of two flies getting it on just on the branch above his head. But no stupid mortal gasping for breath or even a splash.
His hidden side growled low in his mind. Something was wrong, he knew something was wrong, but he ignored it. He wasn't going to waste his time worrying over the pathetic mortal. She was probably just distressed because she's afraid there are crocodiles. Probably hoping he'd act like some hero and try to save her like some sort of knight.
The demon found himself scoffing at the thought. Humans and their fairytales.
Finally after sometime his ears picked up something. He could hear her heartbeat, it was accelerating relatively fast. Though he would never admit it, there was some relief to the sound.
Her heart is starting to slow..
It was indeed starting to slow down. So quickly? Just moments ago her heart was going too fast. She might be dieing..
Oh, how unfortunate.
Naruto's body jerked to an immediate stop when his hidden side and blood lust personality both whined in his mind, forcing his body to obey their desperate need. No longer being allowed to ignore the voices in his head he was spinning around towards the waterfall. It wasn't him that was doing this, it was his fuckin instincts again.
She hadn't surfaced at all.
Was he…panicking?
Was he…worried?
No…not Naruto.. Not the demon Naruto…He would never.. But those two nagging personalities of his? Oh, you bet your ass they were.
Never, in all of his life, did he feel such a wrenching in his stomach. Never had he felt the need to turn around and check up on anything, especially a mortal. Damn his instincts, damn them to hell.
When he turned to face the water his heart stopped.
When there was no sound of someone gasping for breath or rough splashing his body went rigid.
He was going to just leave her be. That's what Naruto wanted, but he should have known his bloody and hidden side would never allow such a thing. They wanted this girl, they craved this girl, he could not leave her be and he could not ignore her. They would never let him.
Against his own wishes he found his body taking him back down the trail he was taking right towards the raven haired girl.
The heartbeat became off beat.
Within seconds he was diving into the water searching for the cause of his two personalities panic. Because he knew that if anything happened to this woman, if any sort of harm happened to her that resulted in the end of her life, there would be hell to pay.
Literally.
He would raise all hell in this pathetic world, early. Not that it wasn't already due in its date, he would just bring it a little sooner.
The moment Naruto dived in the water he knew exactly where the girl was. She was tugging lightly at her sleeve which had, for some unknown reason, caught hold of the edge of a rock. How in the hell did that happen? Stupid girl.
His strong arm wrapped around her tiny frame and with one light yank the edge of her shirt ripped and allowed her to be set free. He brought her up to the surface with more speed than Hinata would of liked. Upon reaching it Hinata instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and buried her face in his chest, taking in ragged breaths. She sputtered and coughed out water all over him, oops.
She was so sure she was going to die, that he was going to just leave her there and never look back. Did he care about her? Was that why he saved her? Hinata felt her heart speed up again at the thought.
The close proximity, for once, went unnoticed by the demon -though not by choice-. He felt both of his voices slightly purr in approval when the woman began her over exaggerated attempts to get air, and finally went back to their dirty cages where they belonged. The stupid and annoying beasts that they were. Cant leave a demon alone for five minutes, always having to go save the pathetic mortal they seem to find a fancy for. Tch!
Naruto mentally scoffed.
"I-I'm sorry. I-..I cant s-swim.." Naruto growled low, she shivered against the feel of his grumbling chest.
Yah, pretty much figured that. Girl is too dense.
Naruto could not believe his ears. This woman had to seriously be the most feather brained thing he'd ever met. Crying about crocodiles when the woman couldn't even swim?? God, why was he always around such idiocy?
"Woman. You scream about crocodiles yet fail to mention that you can't even swim?"
Was this woman stupid or something?
Obviously her brain was broken.
"W-well. M-my mother told me t-that there are c-crocodiles in the waters. So I n-never went in the water.. I… no one would.." She trailed off, and looked away in embarrassment.
Naruto raised his eyebrow at her. Her parents tricked her into thinking that crocodiles lived in the waters so that she wouldn't learn to swim. It was expectant enough of an answer. In most villages the old farts or 'elders' as they liked to be called, spread false tales to keep the women within the village.
Normally it's for profit use, when travelers come they expect a large variety of women to fulfill their revolting obsession of lust. If the women knew how to swim they would be able to leave whenever no one was looking. Her parents and elders could not have any women leaving, if they leave then so does all the money. Greedy bastards. Judging by how pure and innocent she is, especially at her age, her parents were fixing to get themselves a major profit from her. A virgin that's over the age of 16 is a very treasured virgin indeed.
Too bad, that virgin belongs to me now.
Smirking to himself he allowed his eyes to fall upon the girls innocent looking ones. A tint of pink was making its way on those soft cheeks of hers. Why was she blushing? His nose picked up the scents of fear and embarrassment. He chuckled low knowing exactly why she was acting the way she was, it must not be easy for her to be in this sort of predicament.
She obviously didn't want to be close to him, which would explain her embarrassment and reluctance. On the other hand the poor girl didn't know how to swim and they were right in the middle of the somewhat large mass of water.
What will you do little girl?
Naruto, for once in his life, was getting enjoyment out of seeing human emotions. The look on her face was positively priceless. Her eyes were knitted together in concentration yet her mouth was twisted into a sloppy line of uncertainty. She was aggravated by her uncomfortable situation; Naruto was enjoying her discomfort and secretly laughing.
Of all the things to happen, it would be that she would have to cling to the very cause of her always frustrated thoughts. Yes, he frustrated the hell out of her, and now she had to hold onto him like he was some sort of life source. Why did life have to be so cruel??
"U-umm…" Hinata went silent.
Naruto raised an eyebrow down at the raven haired girl. She was biting her lip and now looking down at the water between them. The familiar scent of her blushing came quickly to his senses, he would never admit it aloud, but the woman smelled incredible. Incredibly delicious…
"Speak up woman." He voiced calmly, yet holding authority.
"C-can we…um…out of the w-water.." Catching on to what she was saying, Naruto resisted the urge to laugh at her.
"Swim over there." He mocked. She wrinkled her nose at him.
A-asshole..
"B-but I c-cant-"
"Sure you can, girl. You telling me your body parts are as broken as your brain? Think. Learn. Do. It's just that simple." A blonde eyebrow rose on that perfect face of his. Hinata wanted to die.
She wanted so badly to punch him in the face. What a jackass! He knew damn well that she couldn't swim and still he tells her to! And then he tells her to learn, as if shed be able to do it right on the spot! Honestly, of all the people to be stuck with, why did she have to be stuck with this demon? Why!?
"F-fine! I will." She lifted her chin stubbornly and looked away from him.
Both blonde eyebrows rose up this time.
Hinata pretended he didn't exist and removed her arms from around him, blushing intently while doing so, she kicked her legs gently. She blushed madly when her legs brushed up against his; no doubt he felt it too.
Everything was going fine until she found herself drifting a little too far away from him. Despite the fact that she was keeping above surface, the simple fact that her only means of true support -Naruto- was no longer within her arms reach made her panic. Her legs stilled and she began flapping her arms wildly into the water, screeching as if her life was on the line.
Naruto barked out a laugh. The woman looked like a squawking duck with her arms going wild like the way they were. He stayed in place, making no move to help her. This was just too damn funny.
Hinata was flapping towards him like the devil himself was on her tail and she didn't stop her panic attack even while she wrapped her arms tightly around his body. She was blushing so hard she looked like a lobster. With her jaw clamped shut and her embarrassment all but radiating off her, Naruto continued to laugh. Hinata glared up at the demon before her, her hands still trembling against his rumbling chest.
He was making fun of her.
She should be completely angry, but looking at this blood craving demon laugh was like watching a god laugh. He had the deep voice that could have any girl on their knees for him, the dark eyes that could see right through and clasp at your soul and make you weak at the knees, and the body that would no doubt make any girl strip with a mere breath from him.
His eyes met hers, her heart stopped.
Then he let forth another booming laugh. She felt her blush darken.
Her anger came two fold, and she glared daggers at him. Asshole. With her right hand she let it fall in the water before splashing up at him. The water fell all over his face, stopping the laughter all at once. It was a good thing that Hinata didn't really care at that moment, because the look on his face was one of anger. She couldn't stop herself. He looked so adorable!
Eyes knitted together his lips were formed into the most adorable pout Hinata had ever seen in her life.
She laughed.
Light yet loud enough to get his attention, she giggled. Her eyes twinkled with happiness, plump pink lips forming up into a bright smile. She bit her lip to hide her smile when the demon glared at her and scoffed under his breath. Mumbling something about being a stupid human and acting childish. She nearly let out another laugh.
"Alright girl. Its time for you to bathe. Get washing." he snapped. Apparently he didn't like people to laugh back at him, well, serves him right.
Hinata's heart stopped. He was always so bossy!
"O-ok. Can you get me out of here, p-please?" Naruto growled low in his chest when her sentence came out with stutters, not because she was afraid, but because she was trying to hold in her laughter.
Bitch.
As if he was going to get her out now. Tch. Suddenly something flashed in his mind, a very bad and very naughty flash.. Ooh ho ho. Was she in for it.
Naruto was feeling a little wicked. A little wicked for her laughing at him. A little wicked because she had thrown water in his face. But even more so because, he just really, really wanted to make her as uneasy as he possibly could. He wanted to do something to make the girl so uncomfortable that she won't feel the need to rely on him so much, like she was doing now.
I warned you about seeking comfort from me.
And perhaps because maybe the demon was feeling something along the lines of embarrassment. Maybe. Maybe. Whatever the case, the need to be the one with the upper hand all but took over his bodies instincts.
"Bathe here. I can keep an eye on you and I'll keep you from drowning." He purred mockingly.
When the girl stiffened against him and stared up at him with wide eyes, he chuckled in his head. Her reaction had been completely expectant.
"W-what?!" She shrieked.
H-he's not serious? I-is he?
"Let's hope."
What? No! We can't hope for such a thing!
"Hell yah we can. Let's see if we can get him to take his shirt off."
Y-you're such a perverted conscience..
"Yah… so.. About getting him to take his shirt off…"
Hinata ignored her inner self. She would never understand why her inner self was so opposite to her.
Now was not the time to be worrying about that. She had a perverted demon that wanted to keep her here with him while she bathed, and her mind was nagging at her to try and get said demon to take his shirt off. Well… he looks like he'd have really nice muscles… No! Jeez! What was wrong with her? Curse that conscience of hers, curse it!
"Don't worry. I won't touch you.." He purred softly bending low to her ear. "Unless you want me to." He whispered even softer.
Hinata shivered immediately at the unwanted hot breath fanning over her ear. What was that feeling she was starting to get? At the pit of her stomach.. It felt.. Burning? She didn't know, but she couldn't help herself from sucking in a quick breath. Not even the freezing cold water could stop her temperature from rising.
Finding her voice box was working she stuttered terribly. "N-no I..I-I- I'm o-ok-k."
Naruto smirked against her ear in triumph. God, virgins were so fun to play with. Always so jumpy and nervous whenever a member of the opposite sex got too close.
"You sure? Maybe you're just tired, how about I bathe you?" Hinata's body shivered. "Would you like that?" He breathed into her ear, relishing the way she whimpered.
Sneaking an arm around her waist he pulled her closer to him and placed a firm and very warm hand just underneath her shirt, resting it on her hip. His fingertips touching and caressing her smooth skin. The body against him trembled. Naruto knew this was a lot on the girl, physically and mentally she wasn't used to anything like this. That only made things better for him, as he said, virgins are better to play around with.
"N-no. P-p-please. I-..I… D-don't… don't t-touch m-me.." She managed to choke out a whisper.
Naruto narrowed his eyes on her neck and growled low. Did she just tell him to not touch her? Him? How dare she tell him what he can and cannot do! He'd touch her whenever he damn well fuckin pleased. Stupid bitch. What? Was he not good enough for her? Did he not meet the woman's ridiculous standards, whatever the hell they might be? His plan had obviously backfired.
Fuck this.
Grasping hold of her arm he yanked it roughly and shoved her away from him. It took him a couple of seconds to already be on land.
Hinata was thrashing and squawking like a duck again. At that moment Naruto didn't care that she might drown, he really didn't like the thought of her telling him not to touch her. How dare she? He could have any bitch he wanted and have her begging him to touch her. And this pathetic girl had the audacity to deny him? Not that he was asking or going after her in that way in the first place, it didn't fuckin matter, the girl had just… he'd just been…
Rejected.
Ouch.
Naruto snarled at the realization and crossed his arms over his chest stubbornly. This was a first for him. He wasn't used to being pushed away and told not to do something. Being told by a woman not to touch her was a blow to his ego as well as his confidence. Ok. No, not really. He could never have his confidence wavered for even a moment, but it still pissed him off.
"P-please! H-help-" Gurgle. "M-me!" She gasped and sputtered water.
Naruto stood on the edge of the land watching her with amusement. Honestly, did she really think he was going to save her for a second time? Not this time. She could fuckin drown for all he cared. Not after the offending shit she just released from that foul mouth of hers.
"Kick your legs and arms while in the water. That's how you swim, stupid girl." He stated coldly.
Ok, so maybe he cared if she drowned… just a little. A very, very little.
"B-but!" Gurgle. "I-.. I ca-cant!"
Naruto sighed. Honestly, it wasn't that hard, why was she making things more complicated then what they really were? It should be second nature to her. Cold blood red eyes rolled in their sockets when they took in the view of the girl screaming and kicking wildly.
He supposed it was back in the water for him. Obviously she wasn't getting it; he was going to have to teach the stupid woman how to swim now. Great. Of course, he didn't have to. He could just leave her there to drown, then in her next life she'd know not to deny him ever again.
His hidden side growled, blood lust snarled.
Ok, ok! He was going. Jeez…
Stepping into the water he swam to her side and reached it out to her. Gasping for breath she grabbed hold of his outstretched arm and clung to it tightly, digging her nails savagely into his skin. If she wasn't gasping and begging for air he might of found the little clawing action of hers sexually kinky.
"Don't come any closer. Keep one hand on my arm and kick your legs back and forth."
Hinata snapped her neck in his direction and stared in shock. He was giving her lessons on how to swim now? What the hell brought this on? She gulped the lump in her throat, god was he so confusing! One moment he's throwing her away from him and letting her nearly drown, now he's back in the water trying to teach her how to do the very thing he mocked her about?
She just didn't get this man!
A large clawed hand rose up from underneath her belly holding her up just a little above on the surface of the water. It was like what mothers did when they taught their babies how to swim, Hinata blushed at the thought. She paddled her arms and legs hastily.
Naruto's eyes studied her body while it moved, she was swimming like a dog. Still, she was swimming none the less.
"Alright. Keep doing what your doing and you'll be able to do this without my help."
Hinata whimpered softly.
"Stop being so pathetic." A lump formed in the girls throat at his harsh tone.
Why did he have to always treat her so badly? Sure they'd barely been together for three days now, but still! In these three days it felt like everything was moving terribly fast. He goes from trying to kill her, to beating her, to saving her, now to doing that very pattern over and over again. Hurting her, and then helping her. Over and over again. It was starting to become mentally exhausting.
Naruto knew she was upset. As if he cared. Maybe she should have thought of that before she opened that venomous mouth of hers and told him not to touch her. He knew he was being rather harsh with her over this, well too fuckin bad.
Besides, she needed to learn how to swim. Her life was now on the line being with him. She needed to learn how to do all of these little things, these little things may be what saves her life if he happens to be in a situation where he cant get to her in time.
In fact, now that he thought about it she was in desperate need to learn to fight also. She needed to learn everything that he learned, fight the way he fought, view the world the way he did, if not she would end up as dead as the corpses within the ground.
Well maybe not all that.. He doubted the girl could ever fight like him let alone think like him. Whatever the case she still did need to learn to fight. Naruto mentally smirked at the image of her little petite frame swaying and dancing to the music of battle. Heh. How odd. He just couldn't seem to get the image to fit quite right.
The wheels in Naruto's mind began to spin rapidly. He could teach her everything. She needed to be taught everything. She was in danger the moment her eyes met his, and she was in desperate need of dousing the flames of that danger. Her fate had been sealed the very second he took in her intoxicating scent and decided to let her live. Her life, from that moment on, was fated to be molded and intertwined within his own.
Lucky bitch.
Naruto smirked.
Oh what the demon women back in his world would have done to be able to be in this girls place. She had no idea just who she was denying, had no idea just who she was always trying to seek comfort from, and she had no idea just how tasty she was smelling right at that moment.
His taste buds tingled at the sweet scent of her. Wait.. Where the hell did that come from?
He now had something he could do with the girl, and getting out some good beating on her would prove to benefit them both. She would learn to fight, he'd let out some frustration by smacking her around some, yah. That sounded like a really good plan. First, he'd have to find a way to mask that overwhelming fragrance she let off.
"I think I can do it now." The woman's soft voice floated to his ears, completely breaking him out of his reverie.
"Tch." He scoffed lightly then removed his hand from under her belly. She was still paddling like a dog.
A sense of satisfaction pulsed through his body when she began her 'doggie paddling' in the water. The excitement in her actions was all but obvious.
"I-im doing it! I'm doing it!" She squealed happily. Gurgling and taking some water in, she sputtered but managed to keep her legs and arms moving.
"Calm down, girl. You keep getting excited your going to lose your focus and go back to squawking like a duck."
Hinata laughed under her breath. She was in such a good mood at her sudden accomplishment she didn't even care that he was making fun of her again.
Naruto allowed her to swim for another ten minutes. She paddled back and forth in front of him, giggling and eyeing him with a look of worry. She was silently waiting for his judgment, hoping and pleading with her eyes that he was proud of her.
His eyes and face were as emotional as a rock.
She turned away from him when she didn't get her pat-on-the-back-you-did-a-great-job look and pouted lightly to herself in disappointment. Naruto had decided that now was the time to make her get out. She was fishing for compliments, not exactly something he was accustomed to.
"C-can we get out now?" She whispered.
Hinata gasped softly when a strong arm wrapped around her waist. Invading her personal bubble and making her screech in surprise.
Naruto rolled his eyes at her.
"Stupid girl." He sighed under his breath.
Hinata felt a stab at her pride when it took but two kicks from his powerful legs to have them from the middle of the large water all the way back to the edge of land. He did always seem to find a way to make her look as pathetic and as mortal as ever. And he was always insulting her intelligence too! It's not as if he's a genius or anything, stupid demon man.
Hinata's tirade on how much this demon was a jerk increased ten fold. He really was a bastard…
He all but threw her down to the dirt floor, making sure to purposely wipe his hands on his legs, and began stalking away as if he didn't even know she existed. She sat there on the floor, her butt sore from the impact of earth. Hinata glared daggers at the demons retreating back.
That damn barbarian!
Stupid demon. Him and his damn prince complex. Wiping his hands on his legs as if she was some sort of dirty object that needed to be sanitized. Someone seriously needed to do something about that I-think-im-better-than-you attitude he was always displaying. Maybe she might get lucky and manage to whack it out of that thick skull of his.
"Hurry up woman, Don't dawdle."
Blinking she noticed that his body was a lot further from her than she would of liked. Pushing herself off the dirt floor she ignored her soaked clothes and ran to catch up to him. Would do her no good being left behind.
"C-coming!" She called.
Naruto smirked inwardly. He was going to let that little statement go, but he just had to pick on her. Far too tempting for him to just pass up.
"Cuming already are you? My, my, dirty little girl aren't we?"
Upon catching up to the demon Hinata blinked up at him and frowned in confusion. Glancing at her from the corner of his eyes he caught that innocent look of hers. Ohhh.. He recognized that look. It was the look that kids gave when they wanted to know something.
Damn. She really was innocent.
Innocent, innocent, Girl.
Naruto's lips quirked up into a smirk. The raven haired girl had absolutely no idea what he meant by that little sentence, any other girl would of caught on immediately and probably would of tried to pounce on him right afterwards. Maybe he should tell her?
Wide, innocent, doe eyes stared into his sharp and calculating ones.
Nah. Would be a lot better if he didn't. The poor girl would probably be terribly embarrassed and probably faint on him if he did.
"What are you talking about?" She blinked again.
She didn't understand just what the hell he was talking about. What would coming after him quickly have anything to do with being dirty? Besides she just got out of the water, how could she be dirty? This demon was seriously screwed up in the head. Hinata inwardly sighed at the demons smirk. Great, she was missing some sort of hidden joke of his.
They both continued to stare into one another's eyes, both of them coming to a complete stop so they could stare at each other more comfortably. Not that either of them noticed this, they were too busy studying one another to realize they both had stopped.
"You really want to know?" He murmured softly.
The jolt that shot through her body was like the feeling of being struck by lightning. Sending out signals all throughout her body Hinata all but felt the chills running up and down her spine at his very disturbing question. It wasn't the question itself, it was the way he'd asked it. She couldn't quite put a finger on it, but she knew that there was something terribly wrong with it.
The raven haired girl quickly made up her mind.
"N-no thank you…" She mumbled softly.
Naruto wasn't surprised by her answer. However, the feeling of having her reject him again didn't suit well with the demon.
A low growl escaped the demons mouth, making Hinata jerk up to him in surprise. With his lips curled back slightly, his eyes narrowed dangerously on her, he lashed out a hand and caught her chin roughly between his strong fingers. A quick tug by his hand had her stumbling towards him, her small frame pressed lightly against his.
She was, to say the least, startled by the sudden possessive way he pulled her. What was he doing?…
Hinata stared up at the extremely tall demon. She didn't even reach his shoulders, having to literally crane her neck up just to see his face, the girl made a mental note about his odd behavior. A flicker of fear appeared in her eyes.
Those boiling blood red irises bore down into her own clear ones, he seemed to be searching for something. Apparently he found what he was looking for because those eyes held nothing but disgust and mockery, that mouth of his quirked into a smirk.
Heartbeat picking up rapidly, Naruto listened to it with glee. He was leaning his head down, making sure to put his mouth next to her ear. She was shaking again, good girl.
"Perhaps I'll show you what it means sometime. I'll give you a…" He paused, making sure to release hot breath into that sensitive ear of hers. She whimpered. "personal demonstration." He purred.
Naruto pulled away from her, leaving her shivering and confused.
Hinata gulped down the nervousness she was feeling and looked away from the demon that just took a step back. Releasing her face, Hinata let out the breath she didn't know she had been holding.
She didn't know exactly what he meant by that, but instincts were telling her right away that taking him up on that little secret offer of his would result in something she would no doubt regret. And surprisingly.. Enjoy.
Even more of a reason to turn away from him and continue walking in the direction they were going before.
Naruto's cold eyes watched her stiff and trembling body return back to its original use of walking. Staying behind just to make her more uncomfortable he finally decided to take his steps and walk with her. He had to give the girl credit; her body language was telling him clearly that she didn't trust him.
Good.
Don't put your heart or feelings in my claws little girl. I destroy everything that I touch.
Hinata felt those blood red eyes on her back.
She shivered again.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
"My lord! My lord! Urgent news from the scouts."
A soldier bowed his head to the lord. With a nod of approval the guard ushered to two scouts into the room with a wave of his arm.
Two men came scurrying into the large room, falling to their knees and bowing in absolute respect. With their heads nearly to the floor, their palms rested flat against the marble tile.
Before them, sitting calmly in a large chair made of black and gold, was a young man. Eyes closed he sat within the seat with his legs close together and his hands outstretched on each armrest. Having the pose of a king, he flicked a hand.
A motion to start.
"One of the villages to the Far East has just been burned to the ground."
"…"
"We thought that it was an accident but we found chopped up body parts on the outskirts of the village main fence."
"There was blood, it was everywhere."
"I'm assuming you found out who it is and you're telling me he's been dealt with?" The lord finally spoke, authoritive, and very much hinting at the consequences if it wasn't the case.
The two men exchanged looks before raising their bodies into a sitting posture and looked at the prince before them with absolute nervousness.
"Well.. N-no.. My lord.."
The lords lip twitched.
"B-but we did find something.."
Another twitch.
"We found a sign in the middle of the village; it was drawn in blood and some sort of weird black substance."
Flinch.
"They were claw marks. Big claw marks my lord. It looked like they belonged to an animal.."
The young man on the throne abruptly stood, both men bit their lips in fear. He made calm and collective steps towards the two men in front of him, and yet the sound his feet gave off when hitting the floor contradicted his body language.
His actions alarmed both the men; they glanced worriedly at each other and stared up at their lord when he approached.
With a quick motion he pulled out his sword and stabbed one of the men right between the eyes. He snapped his head in the direction of the other man, the one who had been smart enough to keep quiet.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Dark coal black eyes narrowed dangerously on the living man. For a moment he remained paralyzed, staring at the bloody body next to him, the cold stare from the Uchiha in front of him had him stumbling to his feet, bowing, and running towards the exit all in one go.
"Now, now, Sasuke. Was that really necessary?" The deep, calm, alluringly beautiful voice asked.
Whipping around the young lord hissed under his breath and glared at the man leaning casually against one of the pillars inside the room. He stood there like a shadow, so dark and mysterious.
"Yes!" He snapped.
A soft 'tsk' escaped the mysterious mans lips, he took a couple steps away from the pillar he was leaning against but still remained within the shadows of the room.
"That temper of yours needs some adjusting, little brother." The man continued, his voice all but hinting amusement.
Sasuke glared daggers at his sibling. There was no way he was going to sit around and get another lecture about controlling his emotions; he was getting the hell outta there. Reaching out his hand towards the blood covered sword, the Uchiha lord grasped the hilt of it and yanked it out of the dead mans skull. Not at all bothered by the crunching and squishing sounds that filled the room with his action.
"Mind your own business Itachi." Sasuke breathed angrily, murmuring the words under his breath.
Without another word Sasuke stalked out of the room, the blood dripping from the blade leaving a trail behind him. Making sure to not look back, Sasuke didn't have to worry about showing his irritating brother the mixed emotions swirling in his eyes.
Itachi's matching coal black eyes watched the retreating back of his younger sibling, before he closed them and smirked. He knew what was wrong, he also knew why his brother had reacted the way he had.
Sasuke was normally just as calm and uncaring as he was. However, there were certain subjects that seemed to just get under his younger brothers skin, setting him on edge.
Oh yes, Itachi knew exactly who made those marks in the village.
"Naruto."
He whispered into the calm room. Laughing to himself under his breath.
"The Apocalypse - Naruto." Itachi's jaw tightened and he ran a hand through his hair. "God save us all.."
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
Rumble.
"…"
Gurgling rumble
"…"
Gurgle Rumble
"Woman. Do something about that stomach of yours or I'm going to cut it out completely."
Sigh.
"T-there's.. No f-food around here.." She whispered softly.
Naruto shot her an irritated glare from the corner of his eyes.
"There are plenty of things that are edible around here." The statement was rather cold, Hinata shivered.
"N-no there's not… I- I don't see a-anything.."
Grumble
Hinata winced when a low growl escaped the demons lips. It wasn't her fault she was hungry! He was the one that took her captive and refused to feed her. She couldn't hunt, she had no weapons or even skills on doing it, so she was screwed there. Not only that but the idea of hurting an animal and eating it really did bother her, Hinata loved meat, but not when shed have to skin it and gut it and all that other disgusting stuff that went with eating things that were hunted.
And there were no fruits or berries around here at all. Nothing. It was a forest, obviously, but still… couldn't there be some sort of abnormal fruit growing around there? She didn't see a damn thing that was edible around here.
"Tch." He scoffed lightly but bent down and seemed to catch something.
Knitting her eyebrows together Hinata eyed his closed hand curiously. Just what did he have in his hand? Finding herself getting closer she wasn't at all surprised when Naruto turned to her and ordering her to do something she knew she'd absolutely hate.
"Eat it."
With his hand still in a fist he reached out to her, indicating that she would need to catch whatever it was that reside within his palm.
"What is it?" She asked suspiciously.
"A cricket."
As expected Hinata jerked back from the demon and shook her head. With her lips set into a grim line and her eyes narrowed with disgust the young woman crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. Quickly her feet took her a couple steps away from the demon and back to her original distance. She should have known he'd try to do something like that, he really was a bastard.
She thought he was joking, until he growled low in his throat.
"Woman-"
GRUMBLE! Naruto snarled.
"I- I'm sorry!" Hinata finally shrieked when Naruto rounded on her and grabbed her by the arm.
She gasped when he tried to shove the, now very squished bug, down her throat. Her tiny hands clasped and scratched at his wrist in an attempt to stop him from trying. The bug remained squished between his thumb and index finger.
"Eat the damn cricket, you stupid wench." Hinata's face flushed with anger.
"S-stop! No." She whispered desperately.
Without thinking she pushed away from him and shoved her right palm right into his face, he wretched himself away from her and shoved at her body - hard. Hinata felt the impact of dirt almost immediately.
For long moments the young woman lied on the ground staring into the dirt with a very confused and somewhat angry expression. What the hell did he do that for? She didn't mean to put her hand in his face, it was all an accident.
Hinata shakily got to her feet and turned to face the demon.
For some odd reason he looked awe-struck. Why was that? His eyes tightened, and his body was very rigid.
He seemed to be restraining something. Holding himself back. But from what? And why?
Hinata wasn't sure what it was she'd just done, or whether or not it was really a good idea. Hinata did know, however, that the look in those blood red orbs was nothing less than hatred, disgust, disbelief, anger, and most certainly - lust.
"You stupid girl…" He whispered.
Hinata's heart pounded rapidly.
"I…I…" She stuttered softly, trying to comprehend something other than the swirling emotions of those blood red eyes boring into her own white ones.
"Your hand… in… my face.." The disbelief in his tone sounded so… odd.
"Y-you..kept.. You wouldn't stop…" She mumbled softly.
Everything in Hinata's body jumped wildly when those blood red eyes widened and the pupils slit to the looks of an animals. He seemed to be in a trance, his lips twitching.
"A-are you… are you.. A-alright?" She whispered shakily.
Just what the hell is going on?
His lips twisted up, those deep dark eyes of his sparkling with nothing less than malicious glee.
"Little girl.. You've just made a terrible mistake." He purred dangerously.
Hinata's heart stopped.
"W-what?"
The demon took a step towards her and licked his lips in anticipation.
His eyes turned predatory.
"Mine..."
Her blood froze.
"..What?" She whispered again, eyes wide with panic.
Naruto took another step towards her, making her step back. Hinata couldn't bring herself to make another step; she couldn't bring herself to look away from those cold and dangerous eyes of his. Even when he began making his way closer towards her.
The only thing that echoed through her mind and kept her attention was the darker and huskier way he spoke.
The word echoed through her ears.
"Mine."
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O
