"And just how do you plan to find Iruka!?" Neji asked with much anger.
"Where else, the US Military Base." Jiraiya said.
"You want me to break into a military base?" Hinata asked as she adjusted the weird body suit.
"Correct, this Military Base has a research lab, in which they experiment and try to create Chiropteran." Kakashi said as he adjusted the face mask.
"Hey, what's with the suits?" Konohamaru asked.
"He is right they aren't necessary." Naruto said.
"Well damn, oh well they're comfy." Kakashi said with an eye smile. The others nodded.
"Ok, freaks." Konohamaru said the last part under his breath.
"There it is, get ready." Jiraiya said as they approached the building.
---In a hallway---
The sounds of foot steps echoed in the empty halls of the R&D Lab. Hinata's sword glistened in the lit hallway, all their eyes were scanning around them trying to find Iruka. Something was not right though, 'Why is the Lab this deserted? What's that awful reek?' they wondered. They discovered why, Chiropteran had escaped their pens and eaten the researchers. There was an incubator like room filled with humans undergoing mutations, in one corner there was a pod filled with a green liquid, and floating in it was Iruka.
"Otou-san!" Konohamaru screamed, a second later a set of gray eyes appeared in the darkness. The glowing eyes shifted to each one finally landing on Konohamaru, they heard a girly chuckle as a girl stepped out of the shadows, she was covered in blood, her ripped dress looked like it was once a fancy piece of clothing. But, her face had an eerie resemblance of Hinata, and her long dark hair hung over her eyes, her eyes though covered still shone brightly.
"Hanabi?" Hinata asked as she approached her.
"Oh hello Hinata-onee-san, who is this?" Hanabi asked as she cuddled against Konohamaru.
Konohamaru shifted uncomfortably at the close proximity. "Um, I'm Konohamaru, mi'lady."
"Please call me Hanabi." Hanabi told him.
"Hanabi, um, how have you been?" Konohamaru asked.
"Oh you know, creating Chiropteran, trying to pass the time up, it's really hard to pass time when you have no one to do anything with." Hanabi said sadly.
"Look help us free this man and we'll play with you alright?" Hinata asked as Hanabi gazed at her.
"I knew it, this man had a smell like yours on him, so I figured you were connected. Though I wonder, who is he to you?" Hanabi asked as she turned to them.
"He is their dad, and he loves them, and me, with his whole soul." Hinata said tearfully.
"Hmm, alright you'd better not be lying though!" Hanabi said as the pod opened, "AND you'd better make sure I'm not bored."
"Sure thing, Konohamaru will be your escort." Hinata said happily as Konohamaru groaned. Iruka began to slide out of the pod as Hanabi tipped it, Kakashi caught Iruka as he fell, he slung him over his shoulder as the ceiling started to buckle.
"Made it in time, let's get out of here." Jiraiya said as they all ran out of the room.
---Outside---
The building collapsed as they ran out the door, they turned to the wreckage, "Wow, talk about cutting it close."
They heard a low scream as Hanabi tackled Konohamaru to the ground, she rubbed her head against his chest while making a purring sound, everyone sweat dropped at the sight, except Gaara, while Naruto was envious. 'Lucky, I love Hinata from the bottom of my soul, but Gaara, and the others won't let us be together. it aint fair' Naruto thought as he cried inwardly. He remembered the argument from earlier.
---Flashback---
"Listen, Hinata I know you desire a deep love and all but you can't have it with a Chevalier. Especially not Naruto, it'll only hurt you in the end. I read his file, and, it said something about a great disaster occurring on the day he was born, and because of that the village he was born in resented him. Everyone he associated with ended up dead." Kakashi told Hinata who was practicing with her blade.
"And that is where Hinata saved me from the darkness I was in. She became my North Star, guided me to the light" Naruto said as he seemed to appear behind Kakashi. He quickly turned around as Naruto circled him, "I can never be like an average Chevalier, I can't forsake my emotions, I will always be a human, even if I'm a monster in human flesh." Naruto said as he walked out the door.
"He's been like that since as far as our records go. I can understand what he's saying, he was lonely, isolated, until you showed up Hinata. Once you set eyes on him and realized how he was treated you forced your caretakers to take in the boy. You saved him from loneliness, can you imagine it crying even though you know no one will care enough to even ask if you're alright? To see as countless other kids went home to a loving environment, while all you had was hostility. He carried a burden, that no one should bear, and it made him become attached to what he had." Jiraiya told them as he walked by, "Hinata please treat him kindly, maybe even fall for him. He is our second strongest fighter, but only because he doesn't want to defeat you. If you were Sakura he'd be the strongest."
"Why?" Kakashi asked, 'That blond kid is stronger than the Queens?'
"Because he would have killed her, and maybe even rape her." Jiraiya said as he walked away.
---Flashback end---
'Would he really have raped her? Let alone kill her?' Kakashi thought as he watched the blond Chevalier brood.
"Hey I was kidding about the rape thing, but he would've definitely killed her. In fact He almost did, about a year before you joined the two of us were traveling a little, Hinata was hibernating, so we went to Rome one day and ran into Sakura, and Sasuke, he went into a rage and nearly killed both of them, Orochimaru came and fought him away from her as the others rescued them. Sakura's head was hanging on by a thread, literally." Jiraiya said with a laugh.
"Y-you just laughed!" Kakashi said in horror.
"Well, we can't be serious all the time, right?" Jiraiya said.
"Help me!!!!!" Konohamaru screamed.
"What's wrong Konohamaru?" Hinata asked.
"H-Hanabi is trying to rape me." Konohamaru said with big watery eyes.
"Konohamaru where are you?" Hanabi asked as she ran by.
"Here he is!" Jiraiya said, Hanabi ran back and grabbed him.
"We're gonna have some fun." Hanabi said as she carried him back to her room.
