Author: Hey people I'm back again. Hooray. I know I don't own naruto but I do own this story. –Evil crackle-
Some of you may hate the beginning of this chapter since it's so vague but it gets better!
I missed you all. My beautiful readers, it's so good to hear from you. –Grins-
And since its summer, I'm going to stick around some more. I plan on working on the other stories swimming in my head.
Hopefully, they manage to manifest into something…coherent. –Sheepish smile-
Please tell me if one of my ideas seems good. I would really like your opinions.
But that can wait for later.
Anyway, read and enjoy…

Chapter 9: A piece of the Puzzle discovered.
Hinata's breathing was calm and steady. The moonlight that shined on her face, gave her the look of an illuminated angel. A pair of aquarium eyes watched the young Hyuga heiress sleep peacefully.
Irony of chance
On the corpse of truth I dance
Bitter end romance 1
'If you even think about waking her…I'll make sure no one finds you until after the exams, screaming and begging for mercy. Do you hear me, boy? You better be listening.' Shukahu wasn't in the best of moods and the fact that Gaara was just staring at Hinata, added even more frustration.
'I'm listening…I just wanted to watch her sleep…is all.'
Honestly I'm not
Nothing happens fast enough
Words confuse the thought 1
Shukahu didn't say anything but he didn't need to ask, he already knew about gaara's feelings for Hinata. Shukahu didn't blame him, though, who wouldn't fall for someone of great radiance? Any Jinchiniki who knew her or even saw her would be transfixed and infatuated with her. Heck, even a Biju would be infatuated with her.
'One day when everything in the world is at peace, you'll sleep just like her. For now, you must keep your distance just like everyone else.'
'I know, Shukahu, I know.' With one last glance at Hinata, Gaara disappeared in a whirl of sand. The red head had been so lost in thought that he didn't notice a pair of bright blue eyes burning with jealousy.
Seconds tick away
The illusion starts to fray

Hinata ran with all her might and kept her eyes ahead of her. She knew she should have stayed at the hospital but she really wanted to see Shino's match. She was disappointed when his opponent gave up even though it was a wise choose. Shino's insects would have sucked the chakra right out of him and would have caused as much pain as possible.
Waging war on the arms race of sound
Turn it down Pull the plug
Imminent surrender Ringing in the new Dark Age 2
She was alone and so far was able to get by several sound and sand shinobi. However, her luck had just run out. Hinata stopped mid-run, in front of her stood five cocky chunin. Although Hinata had her byakugan, one she was still slightly injured and two, she was alone! She had been trying to make it to the refuge without waking the others up, but it seems that Lady Luck was against her.
Shut down the noise-aholics
Put down the quiet-ophobics
In a daydream of peace
In calmness too brief 2
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A pretty little Hyuga…a very lonely little Hyuga." One of the chunin grinned at Hinata as his eyes roamed her body. The other chunins chuckled darkly and gazed at Hinata lustfully.
Hinata shivered under their gazes but shifted into the Hyuga style fighting stance. She had no choice but to fight. She was still afraid. She didn't know if she would be able to hold back anymore.
My lullaby is killing
My lullaby be stilling
It could be such sweet silence
From static from violence from… 2
Without warning three chunins attacked while the other two threw several kunai at her. She managed to dodge the weapons and got a few hits in, enough to close a few chakra holes. Unfortunately, the chunin backed away and just realized how stupid it was to engage a Hyuga in hand to hand combat.
"Stop fooling around. She's just one Hyuga. Take her down, so we can get what we want then kill her."
The shinobi obeyed the order and each in turn performed a justu. They're new goal was to get Hinata. Their intentions sure as hell didn't sound very innocent or merciful.
Volume is the modern currency
Everyone competing for airspace
Everyone's dumb
Shouting muddled words as though they're Deaf 2
Hinata just barely manage to keep herself from getting stuck in quicksand, dodge a wind strike aimed at her legs and had to use a substitution justu to get out of the way of direct attack from a water dragon. How a sandnin knew how to perform a water jutsu or how she even managed to escape the attack, Hinata will never know.
Big brother isn't watching anymore
He knows we are distracted and absorbed
Broadcasting our grief
Our imaginations atrophied
We can't think 2
Hinata was visibly trembling; she could feel Yuki and Neko stirring in their sleep. All she could do was dodge the onslaught of attacks but she could feel her control slipping.
'Hinata!'
Startled, Hinata stopped mid-step and her body gave a violent, visible pulse. The chunins noticed this and took it as an opportunity to attack again, but they were stopped and frozen in place by a massive killing intent. It didn't fell human and it was coming off of Hinata in waves.
If I could sing them all to sleep
If I could sing myself Deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect? 2
Several foolish Jounin from sound came towards the killing intent. Without knowing that they were about to die. Such pitiful humans they are, arrogant and cocky, thinking if they worked together they would erase the threat. A threat that had yet to show its true form.
'Bastards! I'll kill them all!' Yuki was wide awake and pass the point of no return. She will not listen to reason and she had just decided she wanted to get out and play. Hinata's breathing became ragged gasps and her stomach began to burn. Thunderclouds rolled in overhead, shrouding and isolating that particular area, and the air became bitterly cold.
"What the hell is this?" Shouted one of the shinobi
A thick mist formed around them, condensing and freezing cold to the touch. The mist blinded everyone as Yuki ripped herself from Hinata's abdomen in a white chakra like form. The chakra grew to a massive size and shone brighter then the sun. The surrounding shinobi stopped fighting and covered their eyes. Then the glow faded and Yuki stood at her full height with her eight tails lashing out behind her. The wind blew hard, leaves froze and fell to the ground, and then the mist lifted.
Yuki stood out for all the world to see and she heard every shinobi's heart speed up. Silence echoed around her except for Shukahu's fight. Although the humans could not hear it, she could but ignored him for now. Hinata was in danger and the pathetic, low-life shinobi who put her in this position were going to pay.
Every generation hates the next
I'll save the millions from a slow insufferable death
I'll put them to sleep
Save them from progressive misery
I'm counting 2
Yuki stared down at the shinobi and gave a beastly roar. The ground beneath them froze, keeping them were they stood without a chance for escape. Yuki opened her mouth, took a deep breath, slowly building up chakra. A white orb of chakra appeared deep inside her throat. It was obvious she was going to attack. Survivors of the kyubi attack stood watching in pure terror. To them it was like hell all over again, except this wasn't a dream. It was very real.
In an instant, Yuki released her chakra orb and a stream of ice shards the size of power poles aimed at the terrified humans. They came at the shinobi rapidly, they couldn't move, they didn't even have a chance to scream. The only sound audible was the sound of the earth being penetrated. Vibrations tumbled across the ground, shaking the foundations of Konoha with enough force to tip the battle in favor of one over the other.
However, the shinobi that had faced the wrath of the eight-tailed beast did not survive. Blood covered the ground where they once stood but Hinata couldn't move. She stared ahead at the disfigured bodies and the shards pointed ends that reached outward at odd angles. Even the ground was covered in blood; one body still stood standing even though his intestines were hanging behind him and seemed to drag him down. Hinata was not afraid of the blood, no, it wasn't that. It was the fact that Yuki physically stood towering over her.
If I could sing myself to sleep
If I could sing myself deaf
Wouldn't it be lovely?
Doesn't it sound perfect? 2
Yuki's glowing white eyes illuminated the dense fog that once again surrounded the area. With a loud roar, the albino tiger disappeared as a mysterious wind blew the fog away, and went back into Hinata unnoticed.
Hinata was visibly trembling from shock and horror. They say the truth can't be kept hidden for long. Hinata didn't know the truth would be revealed so soon and under such…uncomfortable circumstances. However she was tired and Yuki's stunt had taken a lot out of her.
As the ANBU tried to make their way through the carnage, Hinata's knees gave out. It wasn't long before she was spotted and felt her vision get dark. She allowed herself to succumb to that darkness. The last thing she would remember is the white faces of her fellow shinobi. The ANBU that caught her, scanned her for any injuries, finding none, the ANBU hurried back to the village.

Finally, it is really a pain in the arse to do this on the sneak tip. I couldn't type for two days. I swear my mother is…no, let's not go down that path. I might do something harmful. I should, she yelled at me for giggling when she almost fell. It's not my fault she was pregnant at the time…and I'm sorry if this chapter seemed shorter than the last one! Don't hurt me!! I bite. –Grin-
Shinigami: That's mean…laughing at your mother
So?
Shinigami: …forget I said anything.
Anyway, remember when I would ask for your opinion about some ideas. Well here's one…
It's a Harry/Tom Riddle fic, because I like this pairing. No, not the weird snake version of Tom after his resurrection, I mean the human looking version.
Something like…Tom finds out his soul mate is Harry but Harry is ready to die, whether by Tom or Vernon, he doesn't care. Can Tom save his mate? Or will Harry breathe his last?
I think I could pull that off…I don't think I've seen a story like this…tell me what you think. However, If you don't like Yaoi than don't comment, I don't want anyone to feel insulted.
Shinigami: you have a nag for trying to do things others have yet to try
Shut up! Ignore this figment of my imagination! Anyway, just to clear up some confusion, demons can take on the appearance of humans in this fic but the animal form is their original form. After the next chapter or the next two chapters…the fight for Hinata's love begins! –Evil crackle-
Shinigami: And people think I'm weird! Do you plan on adding Koga to the mix to drive your readers insane?
Maybe…these last two chapters will determine who gets to be Hinata's.
Koga/Hinata
Naruto/Hinata
Gaara/Hinata
I hope you don't mind me going to some of your profiles to see your stories, I've been forgetting to do that. I mean you read and review my story so it's only fair that I do the same. Hopefully I don't get caught. So far, it's been good, so I might get away with it.
–Grin-
Read and review. Thanks!!
