Chapter 2: Akira Takeshi
Blood trickles from his cheek, resulted from being clawed by the beast. The boy kneeled on the ground, breathing heavily due to exhaustion. He looks up to the creature, who was laughing at him. Bruises were visible on the boy's body. Tear spots was visible on his shirt.
"Is that all you got boy?" the creature teased, extending it's claw as the creature prepares to attack.
Angered, the boy charge towards his opponent. "HEYAAHH!!"
The creature does the same. As they got closer, the creature attempts to jab the boy with it's claw but to no avail. He manages to avoid it and manage to elbow the creature's chest, stunning it. Taking the opportunity, the boy spins and gives a swift kick, followed by an uppercut and a force palm. The attack was strong enough to send the creature flying to a giant boulder.
--
Hinata carefully watches the battle from above. Her eyes widen when she realized what the boy had done.
"That was amazing!" Hinata thought, felt amazed.
--
The impact was strong that the boulder shattered into pieces with it's dust lingers around the air. The creature lays there emotionlessly with no signs of life.
"Is it...over?" The boy gave a thought, catching his breath.
--
Without warning, the creature rises and charge towards the boy with lightning speed. The creature punches the boy's stomach, causing blood to spill from the boy's mouth. Smirking, the creature continues to attack the boy by giving him a barrage of punches, followed by a spinning kick.
The attack thrown the boy to a tree, knocking him unconscious. The creature slowly approaches the motionless body, checking any signs of life.
"Hehe. I can't believe this boy managed to injure me this much..." the creature said to himself, grinning. Satisfied, the creature walks away, leaving the boy behind. He was about to leave when something caught his attention.
--
Hinata's eyes widen, shaking nervously as fear overcomes her emotions. "The boy...he was killed!" she said quietly with fear in her tone.
Suddenly, the creature appears, hovering in front of the frightened girl. "Well, well, what do we have here?", the creature said, giving Hinata a cold stare.
"W-what should I d-do? He's going to kill me!" Hinata thought. She slowly backs away but soon found herself trap. The creature laughs as it grabs her hand and takes her with him to the sky.
"Hmm...Maybe one more will do it." the creature said, grinning. With that, the creature releases her from his grasp.
She screamed as she falls. Her scream echoes throughout the forest.
--
Kiba, Akamaru and Shino have finished their task and regroup at the front of the gate.
"Where is Hinata? She should be back here by now." Kiba said, becoming impatient. Shino just kept quite.
Suddenly, they heard a loud scream coming from the forest.
"What was that? Who screams at a time like this?" Kiba said, picking his ear.
After a few moment, the boys' attention snap.
"Hinata!!" the said in unison. Shino quickly jumps from tree to tree while Kiba rides on Akamaru's back as they make their way to the forest.
--
The boy open his eyes, only to see someone falling from the sky. He quickly gets up and run towards the falling girl in attempt to catch her.
He pick up the pace and jumps, successfully catching the girl. Hinata open her eyes, surprise to see that she's still alive. However, she gasped as she fined herself in the arms of the boy. She quickly backs away, blushing furiously out of embarrassment.
"You're safe." The boy said as he faints. Blood flows from the wound he received from the fight.
--
"Hmm! No matter. I'll come back for him soon..." The creature gave a thought. Soon, it flies off and dissappears into the night sky.
--
Kiba and Akamaru, along with Shino arrive, finally meeting with Hinata.
"There you are! We've been looking all over for you!" Kiba yelled as he jumps of from Akamaru. He walks towards Hinata but soon come to a stop when he sees someone lying on the ground near his friend. His eyes widen when he sees blood on the ground.
"What happened?! Who is this guy?" Kiba said as he checks the emotionless body.
"Is he dead?" Shino suddenly speaks up.
Kiba shakes his head, "No, he's still breathing. We better take him to the village!"
Both Hinata and Shino nods. Carefully lifting the body, Kiba gently puts the boy on Akamaru's back. Without wasting time, the group leaves and make their way back to the village.

The next day...
Several were in the infarmary. Team 8, along with their teacher, Kurenai was waiting in the ward room where the boy was placed in. Kurenai's team was task to be in charge of the boy as one of them, Hinata was an eye witness. A few moments later, Naruto, Sakura and their teacher, Kakashi enters the ward room.
"Good morning!" Naruto greets.
"So how is he?" Kakashi asks, looking at the sleeping patient.
"His bleeding has stopped but his injuries still being treated." A person in a nurse outfit said as she enters the room.
"Ah, Nurse Ryuki" Kurenai greets. As everyone was about to settle down, they heard noises coming from the sleeping boy. The boy's body was shaking and sweat flows from his forehead. He was murmuring, but the words were unclear to be understood.

Dreaming
Laughter was all he could hear. He found himself standing on top of rubbles. He looks around the place; all he could see are burning walls and rubbles of rock.
"This looks like...!" He was about to finish his sentence when he heard someone called him. In front of him, stood a large figure, who was all black. To his horror, the figure is holding an old man, who was bleeding and covered in bruises.
"Grandpa!" the boy yelled.
The figure looks at him with its glowing red eyes as he drop the oldman. The figure slowly walks towards the boy as he reveals itself. It was the same creature he fought yesterday.
"You!!" he growled.
Before he can make move, the creature lunge at him.
Dream ends
--
The boy opened his eyes, only to find himself staring at the ceiling. He slowly lifts his body from the bed. He grunted, feeling the pain from the wound on his arm. Much to his surprise, he found his arm had been wrapped with a white cloth. While he was still checking his injuries, he realizes they were people staring at him.
"Who are you people?" he asks sternly.
"We're the people that save you butt!" Kiba answered.
"I see..." the boy says. As he looks around, he sees someone familiar, standing behind an old woman.
"Hey! You're the girl from yesterday!" He said suddenly.
"Umm, y-yes..." Hinata stuttered with a slight blush on her face.
"Hey! I don't know if we could trust you yet, so tell us who you are and where you from!" Naruto suddenly said, pointing at the boy.
Hearing this, Sakura gave Naruto a big whack on his head. Naruto hold his head, covering the bump.
"Naruto! Don't be rude, he's our guest!" Sakura said, looking at Naruto. She slowly approaches the boy.
"Sorry about that, Naruto is always like that." She said to the boy. The boy looks at her. "What a scary girl..." The boy gave a thought with a frighten face, sweat dropped.
"So tell us, what's your name?" Sakura asks politely.
"Akira. Akira Takeshi," he answers.
