Stigma: look down this chapter naruhinaness

They piled into the car when they finally got out of the alley they had been in they were chased by hyuga's on foot even if funny it was scary, Naruto had been sitting next to Hinata and unconsciously put his arms around her in a protective way as if he'd die for her, and knowing him he most likely would as they drew closer until their bodies were touching the atmosphere changed it wasn't tense but semi-awkward if not romantic as she slowly laid her head near his own and gently closed her eyes, Ino was of course tempted to photograph this for black-mail but was stopped by the loud bang from behind them.

Naruto forcefully sat Hinata in his lap with some protest and rabid blushing she had finally given up her head was resting against his shoulder on the inward side of the seat, soon as they got out he was going to fight with everything he had to protect her

"I think it's time I tell you why their after you, it's a lot to do with the girl you have their but another reason as well." Itachi finally spoke up to the others alerting everyone from the seemingly fine atmosphere into a more serious one

"They want the girl; she will be sold for a large sum to the Inuzuka for mating that large sum of money will be used to finish a project of bringing the dead back to life, in which case he will be pretty famous and nothing will get in his way, the reason for this"

He continued in a darker lower voice "Is because your basically royalty and you're father and his mother met at a PTA meeting only due to her child being on everyone's lips was the reason he decided he'd be the best one to do this with and because of how he acts it was perfect" He finished leaving everyone in the van shocked and rather appalled such a man would do this

"He wants his wife back, call him cruel but he loved her still does why else would he try to kill your friends, to be honest I think that man would even end his own daughters life for his lover back"

Hinata was shocked the most she clung to Naruto shoving her face into his chest hoping the tears wouldn't fall hoping she could vanish into the one she has always held dear to her heart, but they fell no matter how much she wished they didn't Naruto caressed her held her close and whispered sweet nothings into her ear, at first he was tempted to reveal his love for her but knew that would make things that much worse if his life did end.

"Hinata don't worry I bet Kuro took care of most of them and you can stay at my place until they stop" Sakura said in a comforting way she simply nodded at her words the only thing she really wanted to say right now was that she was scared not for herself but for her friends at this moment she'd give up so they could live and they could be happy, but she knew deep down that it would hurt them especially Naruto she'd keep fighting for him, for all of them no matter what the out come she couldn't let them down.

"Will be staying here for a day or two until things settle down" Kisame said they stopped at a secluded hotel; it wasn't big or stuck out so it was the easiest place to hide at

"Don't worry you all can go to school from here it's a short walk" He finished

All of the students quickly got out of the car Sasuke stood there staring at his brother in detest when he finally acknowledged him he closed his eyes

"Yes Sasuke?" He said in a calm voice

"Why are you doing this, what else do you know!" He asked malice destroying every ounce of the word secrecy they were supposed to have

"Only two people can answer that one happens to be in that alley we left for dead the other happens to be the man behind all of this, take your pick" Itachi said while walking towards the hotel the only thing anyone would think is that he was enjoying this but really was worried beyond belief about his brother more than anything else Sasuke was behind him followed by Naruto who refused to let go of Hinata "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you, I won't let anyone use you, they won't take you away!" he chanted in his head.

For as long as he could remember she was the reason things went haywire if she was hurt or injured he'd show no mercy it was always her never anyone else that caused this he never wanted her to get hurt even when they had just started out being friends it was always like that kids would chant "It's the princess and her body guard" it was more or less an insult but still it was annoying but now he felt that fit them best, she was his princess and he'd do anything to protect her.

Kuro had finally come to, he was on the ground he was blood was running from his arms a spot right below his ribs and right above his left temple he was tied up and next to him lay the men he had defeated he looked up to see Hiashi a scowl took over his face as he looked at the man.

"So this is what we wasted our money on this test subject this failure?" He asked rhetorically Kuro looked up at him, in utter confusion

"Nani…?"

A/N Cliffhanger! Haha I'm evil don't worry I'll be posting the answers you want but the person behind it? Lets just say you probably already expect it but lets just say he has more than a few people helping him (MWHAHAHAHA) I need reviews pl0x on if Naruto should confess in the next chapter or not since they'll be in a hotel he could I might make that happen ether way but as I said that's up to you all as for Kuro, Yeah I let him live he still has a purpose, I won't kill him off yet but I doubt I will ether it all depends on how things work out. Anyways this chapter was short but I felt I had to get it out soon the next one really won't be it'll have flashbacks possible fluff (No lemon their teenagers for the love of god) Neji being a total stuck up jerk and Sasuke being an ass yay! (Sarcasm) but you get the point anyways till next time AE.
