Sorry for the long delay, no longer a crossover, only demons that look like the aliens from the movie series "Alien".

Chapter 11: Is everything alright?

After getting bandages all over him, he was escorted back to the village where he was placed in a hospital bed and given 24 hour watch. Tsunade wasn't stupid.. she knew that Naruto would be stubborn enough to try to get out somehow and go home. She also had Hinata in there. Having her watching Naruto could cause two effects, one: she could cause him to go home even more, or two: she would convince him to stay. She hoped she would make him stay. She still needed information out of him before he disappeared with her. He was too injured for questions a few hours ago when they found him. They think it is still too early.

"Oh well. I guess they really don't like me healing people better them." Tsunade said to herself. She smiled and laughed a little. 'but still... his injuries where severe. I would imagine, as great a healer as i am, they would still like to check. But there's one thing that puzzled me... how did Naruto escape with all that damage and the blood starts on the outside of the cave? They brought him there to use him right? Then why have him outside? Was he escaping... or did they just try to kill him? I don't know... but...' Tsunade was thinking to herself when she was interrupted by a tall doctor with long brown hair. His eyes where a light green and seemed to be in a rush.

"Tsunade-sama." He said bowing before her.

"Yes.. was what is it?" She said sounding her usual self.

"Naruto-sama is currently awake and is healthy enough to answer your questions now.. however, please.. he did just have to go through all that beating, don't traumatize him more than needed." The doctor said bowing and leaving after Tsunade got up. 'That doctor...how would he know that.. I healed him at the camp site, his wounds would be no less then a some simple scraps and maybe a marking or two but.. he knew all about it. I didn't inform anyone of it.. I only requested a hospital bed... something is going on here...'

Meanwhile...

Hinata smiled as Naruto was talking to her. 'He seems to be doing much better. I'm happy. I mean after all he's been through he's smiling and talking..' Hinata thought as Naruto finished what he was saying. Naruto looked at her and smiled as he finished. He seemed to not even mind that for someone who got hurt so bad it took him six months to get back to a village that would have taken any Genin an hour or two. Nothing made sence to anyone. How the hell could he escape... and if he did escape.. did he kill anyone? Did he kill them all? If so then why where no bodies or graves found or anything for that matter. What the hell happened that made them hurt him so bad that he would not be able to defend himself... Maybe it wasn't them at all.

"Hey Hinata-chan?" Naruto said knowing something was bothering her.

"What Naruto-kun?" Hinata said quickly trying to disguise that she was thinking deeply. Naruto already caught her though and wasn't about to let her off so quickly.

"What's bothering you? I mean it looks like you have something on your mind..."Naruto said.

"I do but..." Hinata said trying to cover it up quick. I mean she didn't want to pull back memories of something that happened 6 months ago. Though just from stopping and sighing Naruto figured it out.

"You want to know about what happened right? About what happened to me after I left right?" As soon as he asked that she gave that look that made him know he was right.

"So I'm right..."

"I just.. didn't want to make you say something that would make you sad. I mean..."

"You mean you weren't sure if I was ready to say anything yet?" She looked down and nodded.

"Hai..." She felt a little guilty trying to force him to say something for her own curiosity. Naruto sighed and looked at her. He waited until she looked back at him and then began to start.

"6 months ago when I left..." Was as far as he got before Tsunade busted through the door.

"So.. starting the story without me?" Tsunade asked Naruto not expecting a response.

"Yeh it's nice to see you too baa-ch..." Before Tsunade interrupted.

"Come on can we skip the Grandma stuff for once?" Tsunade said. Naruto smiled slightly.

"Alright..." Naruto said looking at Tsunade. She looked as casual as ever. He was severely hurt and she seemed to only have one thing on her mind. Well I guess you can't blame her. She needs to know what the hell happened to him to cause all those wounds.

"Before you start. I want to know what those strange marks I found on you. Those marking where not made by blade or kunai. In fact no weapon of my knowledge fits those wounds."Tsunade said waiting for an answer.
"I'm waiting.." Tsunade said sounding a little annoyed.

"It started 6 months ago when i left..." Naruto said.

(Flash back)

'Ok baa-chan told me to go to this spot, where they hell are they!?' Naruto thought as he looked around, he sensed no one or saw anyone. The sun beating down on him for a few minutes mad his skin boil, he fur was think and not meant for this weather. He shrugged it off before when he was with Hinata-chan but now he had really found himself really hot. The trees around him started to die. This part of the forest used to be orochimaru's testing spot for some testing. He wasn't told what but he didn't care. He didn't know why she told him to go to a spot only 13 miles away from the village. It seemed that it was pointless to get too close to the village. Naruto sighed and looked around again. Still nothing. Then..

"There you are." A voice said from atop of the tree. Naruto said looking at the ninja on top of the tree. "Do you know how long I have been looking for you? I should kill you right now for making me look for you. But I can't, so let's go. I should at least be able to cut him a few times..." Kisame said that last part under his breath but Naruto with fox ears heard him. He follows him for about 2-3 miles to a underground cavern. As they enter, guards seal the entrance behind them. As it is closing, he take in the sun's warm rays for the last time in a while. He continues to walk with Kisame. Lantern after lantern, rows after rows of them. It seemed like hours that they walked down that long shaft. His sensitive ears caught the water dropping from the cave walls. They were all around him. Seeming to surrounding him. As they went further, smells of iron and of gold ores. The bitter smell of Kisame. IT smelled and tasted a little like fish. Bitter tasting fish. Then a new smell appeared. This one made him stop. He sniffed around with Kisame watching him. Kisame was smiling. There was a small of blood. It was fresh. It wasn't spilled an hour ago but just a second before he smelled it.

"What have you guys been killing?!" Naruto demanded. Kisame made a devilish look.

"You can smell it. You can figure it out...Since it's going to happen to you.." The last part he mumbled under his breath. Naruto heard it and got worried. Tsunade said that the Akutski where supposed to keep him caged and stuff. He didn't really pay attention. He was sad and was had only Hinata on his mind. He couldn't help but miss her. He couldn't help but want to see her again. There was this feeling of dread. Right now he wouldn't care if he died. The pain in his heart was unbearable. It was like ripping his very soul into two pieces. Clouds of doubt flooded his mind and body. He wondered if he ever leave this place and see her smile. Her warm comforting , it was only a hope. The only things that stood out about this cave is that it went deep and was very damp. It seemed he wanted to just rip off his ears because of all the dripping sounds bombarded his ears. Normally he would never think something like this but, lately, he has been changing. He had changed and everyone though he was a LITTLE more mature but not by much. He had always been an outcast. It still seemed that way. But now it was bearable to deal with. with Hinata and his friends by his side, he felt uplifted. Like he could do anything.

(End of flashback for now.)

"We came to a dark room and.." Naruto was saying before he was cut off.

"I said answer my question first. Your telling me the story. I want to know what those wounds where caused by!?" Tsunade demanded. He could see he wasn't going to tell her about what happened in the beginning without telling her the end.

"Fine. But I want to tell what happened just a brief summary of what happened." Naruto said haggling with his words.

"Make them quick." Tsunade sighed. Tsunade wanted to know the hell was happening. Not what happened to him. She could tell that something happened that caused him to have burns and holes all over him. Naruto started to talk again.

"After a day there. They locked me up in a cage and hooked up machines that drain the fox's chakra. they didn't know I was still there. The cage that I was in only withheld things with demon blood to not enter to exit. That way the Akaski could enter and exit without a chance of me escaping. Then they drained all but little of the fox's chakra. then it happened."

(Flashback)

It had been a week since they brought him here. The damp mold and 'cave' smells politely entered his nose 24/7 now. At first he was too caught up in Thinking about Hinata and other thoughts to notice. But now that he was tired of thinking he smelled them all the time. Since his chakra was almost completely drained of every last bit, he was weak and barely moved. No one thought it possible that the fox's chakra could run out. But they somehow found a way. After all they had been shoving pills and seals on him saying that 'it is for protection.' Somehow he didn't believe them.

"Hey fox!" Kisame yelled from inside the barrior. "Since we have exhausted most of your chakra, enough to fuel our 'experiment.' We don't need you anymore."

"I thought that you guys collected the tailed demons for money and treasure." He said weakly.

"At first. Now we just need their chakra. Since we made enough to fund our experiment, we sucked all their chakra out and killed them. Now..." He said pulling out his sword from it's wrapping. He smiled.

"Now... THIS IS WHERE YOU..." He said raising his sword high above his head and sending it straight down before stopping to Itachi's voice.

"Wait." Itachi said moving closer to kisame. He was moving fast. "We need you. Something is wrong with one of our members." Itachi said. staring at the kitsune.

"Then why did you stop me? I could have killed him instantly and went back with you." Kisame said not knowing Itchi was talking to Naruto.

"Not you. Him." Itachi said looking down at Naruto. He feared that they where tricking him into killing him in a 'cleaner' way. He didn't know what to do.

"If you do this for us, leader has decided to let you go." Itachi said now with an Intense gaze. He could tell that leader's decision he thought was bad. It was clear in his eyes. Those pools of hate had reinforcements.

"And what...what would I have to do?" Naruto said weakly. Itachi stood there silent as if he did not want Naruto to know.

"You are expected to fight whatever comes out of the portal we made." Itachi said seeming to ask such a weakling to fight. Itachi then pulled out a needle and before Naruto could see what was in it, he was stabbed with liquid poured into Naruto and seemed to feel like his strength was returning. At the same time he held in the pain he was feeling. After all the liquid was drained, Itachi removed it and saw that the wound closed quickly.

"This medicine I injected with you with is similar to the hero's water. Almost the same exact properties..except that it is 20x stronger then the hero's water and it is a highly likely you will die." Itachi said watching as the fox got up from his small bed.

(End of flashback.)

"They took me to the portal and I saw a few men with something on their face. It was like a giant spider that stuck onto their face. One beast slowly stuck it's head out. It was very black and had a weird shaped head " Naruto sighed. Naruto starts to choke on his words. "Then once the creature saw me it attacked. It was fast. Then... then it opened its mouth... and therein it's mouth... It was like tiny fangs." Naruto said his last words softly. He felt like he couldn't speak anymore. If he had been paying attention to himself he would have realized that he was crying.

"Naruto-sama, mind telling me now what really happened..." Tsunade said insisted

"It is! Even after I killed a lot of them, there just seemed to be more. The swarmed all over the cave. There was one thing that was strange. After I ran out of the cave, they followed me. They did not attack but did follow me. Even when you guys where healing me, I saw them following me."

"Naruto-kun?" Hinata said weakly. Naruto looked over to the tears and fears in her eyes. We wondered if he had scared her. He was about to open his moth when he heard a familiar hiss behind him. Tsunade looked around but didn't see anywhere. Then the lights went out in the hospital. Tsunade tried to stay calm. Two ANBU ran through the door.

"Tsunade-sama!" One of them said. His voice filled with freight and fear.

"What is it? Are we under attack?" Tsunade quickly asked.

"No Tsunade-sama. But the power was cut. We don't know what's going on." He responded.

"Is everyone ok?" Tsunade asked. This was becoming a bit too Suspicious about Naruto's story. Before he could respond a scream was heard.

"MONSTER! MONSTER!" A nurse screamed before running past the room.

"Get everyone out of here!" They heard a doctor yelled. The chaos was causing pacients to scream and shout. Tsunade looked back at Naruto.

"Hurry we have to get out of this building." She said as she looked at the ANBU in front of her. AS she looked back at Naruto, she noticed a change of his face. It was sudden ad it was friegting. Even to her, what was Naruto scared of?

"Naruto that includes you!" She said walking over to him. At this time she saw Hinata tring to move further from Naruto.

"What's the matter Hin.." She stopped when she felt something drop on her shoulder. Her imidiate reflex was to move. She didn't see anything. She felt her shoulder where some of the substance had fallen. It was sticky. She then heard a hiss. The hiss was dark and low. It seemed to strike terror into her. The dark figure that loomed over Naruto made it's decent next to him. It bared its teeth at Tsunade and Hinata. Naruto was in complete shock. The demon that he was forced to fight at the cave, was here. He remembered the yelling of everyone inside. The yelling of fear and horror. The horror itself, was next to him. Before he knew it, the creature attacked Hinata. It flew at her like a rock, bringing her down hard. Screaming and fighting for her life, she started trying to get it off. The creature was too strong. It pinned her down. She turned her head and closed her eyes, lashing about. At that moment, she could feel the creature crushing her arms. Tsunade was fighting two of them off, and couldn't use her kunai or any jutsu that required them to get hurt. Then, all went quiet.

"STOP!" Naruto cried. He was being hurt. The creatures stopped. They turned towards him and tried to see what was wrong. Hinata's attacker, got off her and left her in a state of fear.

"Hinata-chan.. please.. don't hurt Hinata-chan... " He begged them. The creatures seemed to liston. They seemed to be interested in what Naruto was saying. To what he was thinking, to what he was feeling.

Hinata regained her posture and slowly started to realize that these dark dragons where listoning to Naruto. Why? She did not know. But at this point, she just wanted to be next to Naruto and cling tight to him. Hoping that it was all a bad dream. It made her run and crash into Naruto in his bed. Naruto didn't even have time to look at her before she was clung to him. She was clinging to him for dear life. He felt his shoulder becoming wet. He wrapped his arms around her, trying to think about what just happened. Before she knew it, he had wrapped his arms around her. And it seemed to her, all her cares melted away into his shoulder, where her damp tears where laid to rest. Where her sarrows seeped in to the fabric.

"What's going on Naruto?"

"I don't know."
