Hmmm, This Chapter's a little…dark…and kinda creepy. Yazu scares me. "

Well I hope you find this chapter remotely entertaining. I wanted to have some filler before the Chuunin exams and I think this qualifies as remotely interesting filler, don't you?

Honestly, whenever I put out a chapter, I always think it sucks…this is no exception. I think that this chapter is horribly written and overdone. I hope you enjoy it at least a little.

Chapter 26:

Naruto groaned as he awoke from a heavy slumber. He stretched his arms out and scratched his head. He had been having a wonderful dream where he and Hinata had confessed their feelings, became a couple, kissed, and fallen asleep together. Not like that perv-asses.

"Wait a sec…" Naruto said, trying to remember if his dream had actually happened or not. He looked down to see a sleeping Hinata resting against his chest. "Oh yeah…" Naruto said with a smile. It wasn't a dream. "Sweet." He said as he ruffled Hinata's hair. She stirred.

"N-Naruto…kun…?"

"Hey, Hina-chan." He said as he hugged her closely. "Wassup?"

"I had a wonderful dream…"

"Me too."

"What happened in it?"

"This." Naruto pulled Hinata forward and kissed her. He could feel her face grow warm as she blushed. After a second he pulled away.

"I-I guess we had similar dreams…" Hinata said with amazingly only one stutter. Naruto chuckled.

"I guess so." The two stared at each other for a while longer.

It wasn't until Naruto's stomach decided to make its opinion known that the two moved from their spot. They walked over to Aoi's restaurant to tell her that everything had worked out. After a long discussion, several bowls of ramen, and a stomachache later, the two left Aoi's restaurant.

"Wow, it's already this late?" Naruto commented, looking at the clock.

"Wow…" Hinata sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"Well…I have to go read up on theories and politics and such…"

"Why do you have to do all that…?"

"Well…as the heir to the Hyuuga clan, Shinobu thought I should be well-versed in many areas."

"I see…" Naruto said scratching his head.

"You don't have to come if you don't want to," She said with a smile, "I know how bored you get when you have to read or be quiet for too long."

"I'm still going." He said with a smile.

"Why…? If it bores you…"

"Well I'm gonna be bored anyways…" Naruto said, "And being bored with you is much better than being bored with anybody else."

"Aww…" Hinata said blushing. "…You're so cute." Naruto turned red.

"M-Men aren't cute Hinata…we're…we're…MANLY!" he said puffing out his chest with a grunt. Hinata giggled.

"It's even more cute that you deny it."

"Whaaaat?! I don't get it!!"

"You're not supposed to." She said with a smile. Naruto sighed, he wasn't gonna get anywhere at this rate.

"Hinata-chan?" A voice said from behind the two. Naruto and Hinata turned around to see a very sickly looking boy. Naruto guesstimated him to be about 18. He was tall and very thin with long black hair that fell at the nape of his neck and curled out above his small black eyes. He wore mostly black.

"Oh, hi Konnyaku-san." Hinata said with a cute smile. "Ready to hit the books?"

"You bet." He said with a faint smile. "You know Hinata-chan, I've told you to call me Yazu several times…"

"I know…" Hinata said. "But Konnyaku-kun fits you better…" Yazu sighed and looked at Naruto.

"Hey…Hinata-chan…who's this?" He said pointing at Naruto.

"Oh…" Hinata said smiling. "This is Naruto…" She paused. "My…"

"Your…?"

"My…my…my…"

"Your…?"

"B-B-B-B-B-Boyfriend…" Hinata finally managed to squeeze out. The boy seemed a bit thrown off.

"B-Boyfriend?"

"As of today." Naruto said happily.

"Then it's not too late for my plan…" Yazu thought to himself. "If I do it tonight…everything should go smoothly…" He sighed. "I had planned to ask her out to lower her guard first but…my preparations are flawless…everything will be fine."

"That's great, I'm so happy for you." He said with a very fake smile, which Naruto picked up on.

Naruto had always been good at reading character, and he did NOT like this guy.

"Thank you, we're both very excited." Hinata said with a smile. "Right Naruto-kun?"

"Yup!" Naruto said, putting up a believable smile for Hinata so she wouldn't notice his concern. Naruto sighed; he'd have to watch this guy closely. There was just something about him that bugged Naruto.

After a few hours, Naruto was practically falling asleep at his chair. Hinata suggested that Naruto head back to his room. He didn't want to but after another few minutes, he doubted he could stay awake much longer. He didn't think that Yazu would try to pull anything, after all Hinata was a diplomat from another country, if something happened to her, it'd mean unpleasant things. Just to be safe, Naruto pulled Hinata aside.

"Hina-chan, I want you to be careful around him…I'm getting a weird vibe from him."

"It's okay Naruto-kun, we've been studying together for about a year now. He's walked me home on several occasions…He's really a very nice guy."

"Please…for me."

"Okay…" Hinata sighed. "If it makes you feel better…"

"It does…Thank you." Naruto said with a yawn. He gave her a kiss on the cheek, which made her turn beat red. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay." She returned Naruto's kiss and Naruto departed. Another hour would pass before Hinata and Yazu would call it a night.

"May I walk you back to your quarters?" Yazu said, in a very gentlemanly manner.

"Umm…" Hinata thought for a second. "I don't want you to go out of your way…" Hinata said, trying to be polite about not walking home with Yazu.

"It's right on the way." He said smiling. "I wouldn't feel right if I let a young lady like yourself walk home alone late at night in a strange country."

"It's not really a strange country anymore…I've been here for two years."

"But still, there are bad people in every country Hinata-chan."

Hinata sighed. There was no point in trying; he'd just come up with an excuse. It was only a few blocks…what could happen?

"Fine." Hinata said.

"Thank you." He said with a smile. They walked along the dimly lit road. In between the weak lamps there was almost total darkness. Yazu prepared something in his sleeve, Hinata did not notice. As they walked past the next lamp, Yazu broke the silence. "Neh, Hinata-chan, feeling sleepy?"

"Not really." She said thoughtfully. "I could stay up for a…" Hinata felt a small prick on the back of her neck as the needle found its way past her skin. Hinata's body went limp and Yazu caught her.

"Hehe, are you sure?" He said as he lifted her up onto his back and faded into the night.

Several hours later Hinata awoke. She found herself in a dark, dank, decrepit room lit only by candles. She couldn't move because of the bindings on her hands and feet. Also, her chakra seemed to be suppressed and she couldn't focus enough to activate her Byakugan. It was very hard for her to see but she could hear breathing on the far side of the room.

"Hello…Hinata-chan."

"Y-Yazu…?" She asked frightened.

"Yes." His voice was scratchy.

"Why…?"

"Because Hinata…you chose someone else. If you had picked me, things would have been much simpler.

"What are you talking about?!" she said as tears started to flow down her cheeks.

"If you hadn't picked that other boy…I would've waited until your feelings for me matured…but you've reduced me to this.

"How…how could you do this?"

"How…?" He thought for a second. "I suppose you could call me a serial murderer or a serial rapist…or a serial murderer who rapes his victims…or a serial rapist who kills his victims… I suppose I fit into all of those categories."

Hinata tried to struggle to free herself.

"Oh, you'll find that to be quite futile. The drug I used on you makes you limp as a noodle for twelve hours."

"W-W-What are y-you going t-to d-do with me…?"

"Isn't that obvious?" He said spreading his arms. "I could just rape you and kill you…but I've grown tired of that…I've also grown bored of killing then raping…I think I'm going to try something new…you should be honored." Hinata cringed. "Look around you…you can see the remains of many of the one's I've 'loved'." To Hinata's horror there were at least twenty skulls wrapping around the walls. "Twenty-six to be precise. I remember them all too well…" He sighed. "But you will be my most cherished prize…" He stood up. "You see Hinata-chan, I've fallen for you. I think it's because you resemble my mother…my first victim. I was twelve if my memory serves…"

"You're…horrible…"

"I knew you'd say that when you found out. So predictable." He sighed. "Thought I can't say I predicted your boyfriend…I suppose I'll dispose of him later. As for now…I guess you're wondering what I have planned for you…" He walked up to Hinata and ripped off her pants, revealing her panties. "I'm going to have my way with you, as many times as I want. I suppose you could call yourself my love slave. Now, you're probably asking yourself WHY I didn't just do that while you were sleeping. I suppose it's because I wanted to see your reaction…I must admit I'm quite pleased with it, sheer terror. You can't do anything to stop me, and you must know that no one is going to save you. It's absolutely delicious." He licked his lips.

"Naruto-kun will save me!"

"Hmm…" Yazu sighed. "I suppose it's entirely plausible. IF he can find my secret hideout, get past my one-hundred ninety four booby traps, AND defeat me." He looked at Hinata. "I suggest you refrain from saying anything to ruin the mood again. I just might kill you." He said with a smile.

"Save me Naruto-kun…" Hinata looked down and to her horror saw Yazu drop his trousers and reveal his…err… "Member".

"Ready for some fun, Hinata-chan?" He said with a wild smile. "I certainly hope so, this will last all night."

DUN…DUN…..DDUUUNNNN!!!!!!!!

To Be Continued….WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
