Naruto groaned softly as he slowly started to open his eyes. He didn't know how long he had been asleep for though what he did know was that the lab had taken him back and… wait! Eyes snapping open, Naruto pushed himself up onto his shaky feet and made his way to the bars. Wait, why wasn't he pinned up onto the wall like he was before his escape? His power was still strong; he could easily bend these bars without a problem.
Narrowing his eyes, the young man tightly held onto the bars and started to pull as hard as he could… only to get a jolt that was so powerful that it sent him flying into the wall behind him. Growling, the young man knew that he couldn't allow this to stop him. He had to get out of this place, he had to escape!
"Try all you may want Experiment F 001… you won't escape this time." Said a voice, causing Naruto to growl when he could get himself to look up. Standing there was a man with long black hair and pale white skin with glowing yellow eyes. The man wore a simple white lab coat that reached past his knees, he couldn't really tell what kind of shirt this guy was wearing but he could make out purple pants and black shoes. Either way, Naruto knew that he didn't like this guy no matter what.
Narrowing his eyes into slits, Naruto pushed himself up onto his feet and grabbed onto the bars once again. The bars didn't seem to shock him though maybe that was because he wasn't trying to break them this time. "What did you do to Hinata?! I swear if you even touch her I'll kill you!" shouted Naruto, his eyes flashing red, a sure sign that he would go on with his threat. The thought of any one of those people touching her, doing anything to her made his blood boil.
The man just smiled, as if this was all just a game to him. Maybe this was all just one sick game with their lives. Either way, Naruto was going to make sure that this was a game that this black haired man didn't win. Naruto was going to find a way to escape from this place; no matter the cost… he just had to think of a way on how he was to get out of this place… But how? Shaking his head, the young man just growled darkly at the man that stood before him. "Answer me fucker!" shouted Naruto.
"Now, now… the woman is fine. In fact, we may have a use for her though we're going to wait until she is ready for the test." Said the black haired man with a smirk. That alone made Naruto sick to his stomach. There was no way that he was going to allow this to happen. He wasn't going to let Hinata become what he was. Shaking his head, Naruto reached out of the bars, wanting to strangle this man, wanting him to fall over dead and see the life fade from his eyes.
"I swear to god if you even touch her I'll fucking kill you!" shouted Naruto, looking ready to kill. His eyes flashing from red to blue in the space of his heartbeat. There was no way that he was going to fail Hinata; he had to make sure that she was safe, that she would stay human. The thought of her becoming what he was… of her becoming some kind of test subject made him want to rip these bars down and get her out of here.
Laughing, the black haired man smirked as he said "now, now… you can't escape even if you wanted to. I made sure to make your cell escape proof this time. The gates will shock you any time you try to bend them, but even if the power was to go out, these bars are made to keep you in. No matter what you do, there is no escape." As soon as he had said 'no escape' Naruto's eyes widened in shock. No, there had to be a way for him to get out. But, how was he to do that?
"Where is Hinata?!"
"A one tracked mind… if you must know she is in a separate wing of the lab. You won't see her just yet Naruto. I want to make sure that she is capable of the test that we wish to do."
"What kind of test…" growled out Naruto, his eyes now blood red. It was easy to see that he was in no mood to mess around. All he wanted was to have Hinata by his side and nothing more. The thought… the thought of never seeing her again, of never hearing her voice again or have her kindness shine toward him and others around her made him sad. In fact, it almost felt like someone was gripping his heart in their hand right now.
Chuckling, it sounded sinister like what he heard on TV once… The mad man smirked as he said "don't worry my little pet… she'll be just fine. The test is just something that we've wanted to try for a while now but we couldn't find the right person to do that. Now, we believe we have. Though, if she isn't the right one then… well maybe we'll just have to kill her or use her for something else."
Hearing that, Naruto's eyes went wide with shock and fear. No… he couldn't let this happen to someone as pure as Hinata. She was just an innocent soul that didn't deserve this kind of fate, that didn't deserve this kind of treatment like he had to go through as a child. Shaking his head, Naruto rushed forward and tried to break through the bars, ignoring the shocks that were going through his body. "I swear if you do anything I'll break these down regardless of the pain I have to go through damn it!"
The man could only laugh. He found Naruto's anger entertaining. Though that was also because this man never saw the blonde haired young man as a human, no, he saw him as a test subject and nothing else and nothing more. Just thinking about all of the things he had done to Naruto as a child, and what he had done while he was growing up still haunts him even if it was to test his resistance to pain it still angered him. Screaming, Naruto reached through the bars, trying to reach the man, his nails growing into claws as he tried to grab a hold of the man that fucked with his life.
"Mother fucker! I'll fucking kill you! I don't give a shit about what happens to me but I'll kill you for hurting Hinata and tormenting me all these years!" shouted Naruto, his fangs started to grow, hell, his appearance had started to change into that of his other form, his 'fox' form if you will. Even as the bars started to send in jolts of electricity, Naruto just ignored it, though he would grunt in pain now and again. No matter though, he couldn't break free. He couldn't break these bars and just wanted to kick this guy's ass, no, he really did want to kill him. Unlike other times during those tests, they had him kill people he didn't want to kill, but now… he had felt the desire burning within him like it was second nature, like it was to protect Hinata.
Yes, that's what this was… this was part of his desire to protect Hinata. To be honest though, he didn't know why he felt this strong of a desire to protect the woman that had looked after him, that taught him so much about being a human. The man just stared at Naruto with wide eyes; it was as if he was surprised at the tolerance of pain that he had to have been feeling from the test subject. Soon, that wide eyed stare turned into a smirk as he started to write something down.
That of course only caused the rage to boil more within Naruto. All he wanted was to rip this man to shreds, rip him into ribbons of flesh and have his blood spill and taint the ground that he stood on. "I'm surprised that you feel this much desire to protect that woman. Could it be that… you've chosen her?" said the man with a weird grin on his face. A grin that Naruto had never seen before, which only served to unnerve him.
"Chosen her? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Now Experiment F 001, you haven't figured it out have you? Animals choose their destined partners. In other words, for animals such as yourself, you have chosen your mate. Someone you would do anything to protect. In other words, in the term of humans which I highly doubt you'd understand, you have fallen in love with the blue haired woman." Said the man, the smile still in place.
As soon as the red haired man had said that he had fallen in love with Hinata, Naruto thought back about the words that Hinata had once spoken to him. "Love is an emotion that someone feels toward someone. It's an emotion that makes that person want to be near the one that they love; they kiss, hold each other and cuddle. It's a bit difficult to explain though that was as best as I could." No, that couldn't be right… he couldn't have… but… it had to be true… He wants to be near her, he wants to hold her in his arms and never let go of her. Those were all feelings that he felt toward Hinata but he never really understood why that was.
Pulling himself back, Naruto backed away from the black haired man and just fell on the floor in a sitting position. He still couldn't believe what this man had told him. There was just no way that he could have fallen in love with Hinata, it just didn't make any kind of sense. He wasn't human and yet here he was, back in the lab with someone saying that he had fallen in love with Hinata and shook his head before grabbing at his blonde locks.
"You can't accept it can you? You don't want to accept that you have fallen in love with a human. To be honest, we were going to make another test subject like you, a female though we couldn't find a perfect subject that didn't go crazy after the first needle."
Naruto's eyes widened before looking back up at the black haired man. He had been… trying to find another test subject? What did he mean by needle? What did that have to do with finding the perfect subject? None of this was making sense and it was really starting to bother Naruto, hell, he may as well say that it was annoying him and starting to really piss him off. "What do you mean?" asked Naruto, trying to figure out what was going on though he didn't think that he would figure it out since after all, he still didn't know how to read or write… well, not very well.
Chuckling, the pale skinned man smirked as he said "well, we're doing the same thing like what we did with you. You see, since your parents told you their half of the story may as well tell you mine. We needed a test subject but we couldn't find one. We have tested many humans with needles but they all ended up turning into monsters right away and would attack anything only to end up attacking themselves." Hearing that made Naruto stare at him in shock. That sounded like the murder cases that his father was looking into before he was taken away, not to mention what he saw on TV when he was being watched by Sakura.
"Everyone we tested the needles with had failed and attacked themselves. So, I had one of my assistance babysit a brat, you, and used the needle on you… then another and another. It seemed that you could tolerate the needle and its properties. That was when we knew; you were the perfect subject and took you. We figured that you were perfect because of your family's history involving ninja's."
Okay, that also confused Naruto to no end. What did ninja's have to do with him being the perfect test subject? Shaking his head, hoping to shake off the confusion that coated him like a warm blanket, he tried to get all of this to leave him along though sadly, he didn't think that he would be able to shake this confusion until this guy would further explain this to him so he could fully understand. Either way, he didn't think that he would have understood it anyway since after all there were still things that he didn't understand.
Smirking, the man calmly said "your family from both sides come from a long line of ninjas. Both of which were very powerful. The Uzumaki's have long life spans that was perfect to have you support the DNA splicing thanks to your life energy. The Namikaze's have amazing strength and high tolerance to pain. Both of which reside within you, and that was what made you perfect to be a test subject." Soon, the man started to laugh like a mad man, at this moment Naruto knew that this guy was really off his rocker. "Thanks to you, I can harness the power of animals, but there are still so much that we have to learn. There are still so many things that we haven't tested. Though first we have to make sure that they are perfect before I can do what I've always wanted!"
"You are one crazy ass bitch…" mumbled Naruto with a bland stare.
"My, you have learned some very colourful words Experiment F 001." Said the pale skinned man with mock hurt in his expression. Naruto just rolled his eyes, the guy was just noticing that he was curing all this time? If that was the case then this guy was just really stupid… really, really stupid. Smirking, the man walked a little closer to Naruto, as if taunting him that he was outside of the cell, while Naruto himself, was the one trapped like a wild animal once again.
Rushing forward, Naruto slipped his hands through the bars once again and tried to wrap his fingers around the man's neck. But sadly, he had jumped back seconds before Naruto could even do that. "My name is Naruto fucker! Use it; I'm not an experiment for you anymore! I'm a living human being, I can do what I want and be with whoever I want!" shouted Naruto, his eyes blue once again, he didn't want to be an animal, he wanted to be human more than anything… though deep down he knew that he couldn't be human anymore. Though it wouldn't stop him from using his powers to do good for everyone.
Laughing, the black haired man smirked as he narrowed his gold eyes at him. "Now, now… no matter what you say, no matter what you do… you will always be an experiment. You'll never be human no matter how much you so desire that." He chuckled a little more before his smirk became sinister. "You may want to be with that woman, but deep down you know that you can never truly be with her because of what you are. Someday, when that choker comes off you'll be nothing but a beast that only knows how to kill."
"You're wrong!" shouted Naruto, though he couldn't help but grab hold of the choker that was around his neck… sure, for a guy it could be a choker or a collar but he couldn't tell what it could be since at first the doctors called it a collar and now this guy was calling it a choker. What was it really? Screw it… "I'm as human as I want to be, I can be with Hinata… She accepts me for who I am!" Naruto cried out, he knew that he could be with her… he… he knew it.
"Ah, see… even you are starting to doubt it. You don't know if you can be with her because you aren't human. In fact, you are pretty much a demon. A demon that can never be accepted by anyone, not even those who you think to call your 'friends'." Said the evil man with a dark chuckle before he started to walk away.
Naruto shook his head; he turned around and sat on the floor as he tried to get those thoughts out of his mind. He was wrong; Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata were his friends. He knew they were… they were his friends and he would be sure of that. Though he would also have to make sure that he could get Hinata out of here… somehow, though right now he wasn't really sure what he could do to get them out of here. Right now it just seemed like a big mystery and sadly, he wasn't good at that. Even when he watched those mystery shows on TV he hadn't been able to figure out who the killer was.
Running a hand through his hair, Naruto looked through the bars and only saw a brick wall. It was sad to lose his view of the sky and everything that the outside world had to offer but now… Hinata was dragged into this and it was his fault.
Lying onto his side, Naruto sighed as he tried to think of every possible way for him to get Hinata out of here. Though the more he thought about it, the more he remembered that it was just luck that he had been able to get out of here the first time. This time, he didn't have any kind of luck… Tightly shutting his eyes, Naruto thought 'I'm so sorry Hinata… I'm so sorry…'
Note: can you guess what they're going to do to Hinata? If you guess right well, it'll be revealed in a chapter, I'm not sure if it'll be the next chapter or the chapter after, anyway, later.
