Hinata couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had heard Naruto tell her before that he feared the beast that was just below the surface. That the beast would come out if the collar was ever removed. All Hinata could do was stare at the young man as she watched Naruto thrash about, trying to break free of his bindings. It almost seemed like she had lost the Naruto that she had loved forever, but there had to be a way to save him… there just had to be some way for the blonde haired fox man to come back to her… there just had to be something.

Naruto roared and screamed as he tried to break free, the roar was horrible. It vibrated through the room to the point that Hinata could even feel the vibrations through the ground. "We may have to kill him," said Jiraiya.

"No! There has to be a way to save him." Hinata said as she glared at the white haired man. She knew that it was dangerous to try to save him now but she wouldn't give up on him. There was just no way in hell that Hinata was going to give up on Naruto. The thought of losing him forever made her want to cry, but she kept those tears pent up inside for now. She just had to make sure that there was something that she could do for Naruto… there just had to be something, anything… but what?

"Now… he is nothing but a mindless beast that only knows one thing. To kill…" said Orochimaru with a dark chuckle. His eyes were wide, but held a crazy light in them. This man was downright insane. There was no way that he could be sane after this. Turning an innocent young man into a mindless beast that only knows how to kill and nothing more, the thought of that… the thought of what this man had done to Naruto made her want to attack him but she couldn't or risk harm coming to the twins. "Now that he has turned into a mindless beast, I order him to kill you… the children you are carrying don't have the power I need… Once I've perfected this… I can give myself the power that I so rightfully deserved then I can rule over the world!"

So that was his plan? To test out a way to turn humans into 'demons' and then turn himself into one just to rule the world? He really was just insane. Shaking her head, Hinata shouted "he's not mindless! Naruto is the kindest man I know! He isn't a beast!" Jiraiya just stared at Hinata for a moment, as if telling her to stop talking. Well, she wouldn't… she wouldn't stop talking, maybe if she spoke enough Naruto would know her, would remember her… that was all she wanted. If he knew who she was, remembered who she was then well, she would be able to… to bring him back.

Orochimaru just smirked as he looked at Hinata and Jiraiya. There was something in his eyes that told her he was going to do something. What could there be for him to do that would make Hinata want to run for her life? She didn't know, though she knew that this was going to be something that would have her afraid but nothing was going to stop her… she had to make sure that nothing happened… but how? Taking a step back, the young woman tried to think on what she was to do, there had to be something, anything that she could do to get Naruto to return to her but how?

Looking around the room, Hinata noticed some of the other doctors. There were only three other people in the room with Orochimaru. A man with red hair that grazed his shoulders and hid his eyes from view, and of course he had pale skin. He wore the same thing as Orochimaru… hell, all of them did. Must be the main uniform or something for this place… Standing next to the red haired man was someone with spiky orange hair. His eyes were a soft brown and his skin was a little tanned. Then, there was the woman that stood next to them. She had light blue hair that was held up in a bun atop of her head, amber coloured eyes and she also had pale skin. She almost seemed… emotionless while the red haired man was sad and the other one had a grin on his face.

Weird… very, very weird…

Maybe Orochimaru tested something on them as well, to freeze their emotions in just one emotion or in that one woman's case, emotionless. She wasn't sure though what she did know was that they would be a problem if a fight happened. Looking around once again, the young woman saw that there wasn't really anyone else in the room with them all. Maybe everyone else did take off; they must have valued their lives too much to stick around to see what was going to happen though maybe it was for the best.

Orochimaru smirked as he said "after Experiment F 001 kills you two, I'll have him chained up once again before I let him loose on the town for him to destroy it." The young woman narrowed her eyes. She wasn't going to allow that to happen; she would save Naruto before that happen. No matter what, she would save the blonde haired young man, even if she got hurt in some way, she wouldn't allow this to happen to Naruto. Knowing the young man as well as she does, if he hurt someone while in this state, or even killed them, he would never forgive himself and would go into a state of depression that he may never come out of, not again anyway.

"You're just insane! Naruto would never do what you want! He's a human being!" shouted Hinata.

"Oh? You think he's a human being? Then try telling that to him!" shouted Orochimaru before he slammed his hand on a button, releasing Naruto's restraints. The once blonde haired young man fell to the ground, letting out a dark growl as he pushed himself up onto his feet and looked around. His now crimson hair looked wild, at least more so than usual. Orochimaru smirked as he said "go now Experiment F 001. Kill them then, we can go to rule the world!" Naruto turned his gaze onto the black haired man and just growled at him. In fact, the way he was growling almost sounded… defiant or something. Like he was rejecting Orochimaru's orders.

"What are you doing you experiment?! I ordered you to kill them! Get rid of them and be done with it you stupid beast!" shouted Orochimaru as he grabbed what looked like a whip. Is that how the pale skinned man had treated Naruto all these years? With a whip? If that was the case why didn't he tell her? Or, was it that he couldn't remember because he was in this form?

Naruto growled and tackled Orochimaru to the ground and started to attack the black haired man. The young woman covered her mouth in horror as the young man started to attack and rip Orochimaru to shreds, clawing him, biting him and just plain ol' beating him to a bloody pulp. It was a sight that she never wanted to see, the way Naruto just ripped the man's skin like it was nothing more than paper.

Not wanting to look anymore, Hinata went to hide in a small hole that was in the wall, she had no idea how long that hole has been there but at the moment she wasn't going to complain about this. Once the young woman managed to get herself comfortable in that hiding hole, she just looked out and covered her mouth and nose so her heavy breathing wouldn't be heard.

Naruto roared as he ripped off Orochimaru's head and threw it across the room. It didn't land near Hinata thank god, she would have screamed and that would have told everyone where she had hidden. The young man growled, his eyes looking angry, like something had really pissed him off. There had to be something that would have caused him to have such anger… Whatever that was, Hinata knew that she had to find out what it was, and find some way to calm him down. Though she wasn't sure how she would be able to do that…

The two boys rushed toward Naruto as they held needles in their hands. Looks like they wanted to sedate him so he would calm down. Though for some reason the young woman didn't think that it would work… At least, it wouldn't be that easy for them. She knew that it wouldn't be like that, not at all… Looking up, Hinata saw that Naruto roared as he jumped up onto his feet, his nine tails whipping wildly as he tried to get them away from him.

Naruto roared, screamed, and slashed at the two men. Hinata knew that this was only going to end like it did with Orochimaru. He was going to kill them like they were nothing but prey. That made Hinata want to cry more, she wanted to stop him so badly, but she didn't know how. The collar that Orochimaru took off well… she didn't think it would work and not to mention, there was a chance that Naruto had only ripped that to shreds as well as the black haired man.

Just watching would be enough to give Hinata nightmares, but she knew that there had to be a way to get Naruto to stop. That there had to be some way for him to snap out of this control of his inner beast. Whatever it was, she didn't know though what she did know was that it would be something that may reach his heart… whatever that may end up being.

The red haired man screamed as a hand went through his side, Hinata knew that Naruto's claws were enough to cut through flesh… he wasn't going to stop. There was no way that he would ever stop. Looking over at Jiraiya, he held something in his hand, it looked like a gun. No, he was trying to shoot Naruto but the once blonde haired young man was moving too much and wouldn't be able to get a clear shot. So that had to mean something right? Though she still couldn't be sure, since there was no way of knowing how many bullets Jiraiya had. He could have dozens and dozens of bullets and would still be able to hit him, or maybe he only had a few bullets left.

The blue haired woman could have sworn that she heard Jiraiya curse under his breath, almost as if he didn't want to shoot Naruto, but thought that it may be the best thing for him. Hinata though, she still didn't like the idea of killing Naruto. She tried to push herself up onto her feet but was having some difficulty due to her belly hindering some of her movement but that couldn't be helped. Maybe if she could just get up onto her feet she may be able to stop Naruto in her own way… it may be the last thing she could ever do for him but it would be worth the try right?

Grunting, Hinata had kept on trying to get herself up onto her feet. It was still difficult for her to move even if she could turn to her side, it made it a little tricky for her to do that but at the moment, she didn't really care at the moment. Taking a deep breath, the young woman managed to turn to her side as she tried to slowly crawl out of the hole in the wall, hoping that would be enough for her to get out of here.

Suddenly, Hinata yelped when she felt someone grab a hold of her. Hinata screamed as she came face to face with the woman, her amber eyes almost seemed like they were filled with hatred. "If he hadn't have met you… we wouldn't have had to kill you. Then Orochimaru, Yahiko and Nagato would still be alive." Hinata just stared at the woman with wide eyes; she knew that this woman wanted to kill her because her friends and master or boss was killed. It wasn't her fault that this happened, they could have left Naruto alone in the first place after he had escaped and now she was blaming all of this on her…

"You should have left Naruto alone in the first place!" shouted Hinata before slapping the blue haired woman across the face. There was no way that she was going to take this kind of abuse from anyone. If there was one thing Hinata knew what to do, it was to put all of her strength in her hands or fists. Either way, she would be sending some power into her hands.

Though the blue haired woman didn't seem to like it at all. In fact, if she could move her face into any kind of emotion, Hinata figured that it would be rage. How she knew that, it was that she could see the rage burning within her amber coloured eyes. Hinata never knew that she could see so much rage in anyone's eyes before in her entire life, but at the moment the only thing Hinata knew was that she had to get away before anything else happened. But it seemed that no matter what, she couldn't get away from this woman.

Hinata didn't know what she was to do; it was as if time had slowed down for her. The woman pulled out a scalpel and that was when she knew that this woman was going to not only killing her, but to kill the twins that were growing within her. Hinata knew that this woman was going to gut her like a fish so she could remove the twins, and for the young woman to watch the twins die…

"Stay away from me!" shouted Hinata, struggling to get away from this crazy bitch. This woman was just as crazy as Orochimaru, maybe more so, or maybe just a notch below being as crazy as he was. Either way, Hinata struggled and tried to get away, she tried kicking but knew that it wouldn't be like that since her belly would be in the way and not to mention it would shift her weight to her falling over and it would end up with her falling flat on her back and may end up causing damage to the children.

"You and those brats need to die!" shouted the crazy woman.

Hinata kept on struggling; trying to get this woman away from her though Hinata figured that it was going to be a losing battle. The children must have sensed their mother's fear as they kept on moving around, as if trying to fight this woman off themselves. Whimpering, Hinata kept on trying to shove this woman away with what strength that she could muster into her arms, trying to shove her with all her might, all of her strength. Sadly, it almost seemed futile as the woman just shoved Hinata into the wall, pinning her there. Eyes widening, Hinata stared at the woman with fear in her eyes.

"Any last words bitch?" said the crazy, insane blue haired woman.

The young woman couldn't think of anything right away. She knew that this may be the end of her though it would stop her from trying to find some way for her to get out of here right? There just had to be something that she could do but no matter what she just couldn't think on what she should say, what would be her final words. Maybe it wasn't meant to be, that she wouldn't have a happy future with Naruto and the twins after all. In fact, maybe it just wasn't meant to be like that at all, that it had only been some crazy dream that she just could never have, could never experience for herself first hand.

Inhaling softly, Hinata tightly shut her eyes as she tried to think on what she should say. Even as she felt time slow down around her, the young woman just couldn't think on what she was to say or do. In fact, it almost seemed like this was just how it was meant to be. That she would die because of this crazy ass bitch that wanted to kill her because of her twisted sense of revenge. Not to mention, it had been Orochimaru's orders to kill her because the twins would only have a tenth of Naruto's strength and powers.

"Naruto! Help me please!" shouted Hinata.

She knew that it was futile, but she knew that it had been worth a shot. If Naruto was still there, still deep down in his heart and soul, just below the surface then maybe there was a chance that Naruto would come to save her. At least, if he did come to her, it would make her feel better to know that he was protecting her even if he ended up turning against her. That was the only thing that made the young woman happy, even a little bit, was that small amount of joy to know that if Naruto was himself he would have been able to save her.

Suddenly, Hinata felt something, no more like she sensed something. Opening her eyes, Hinata saw that Naruto had appeared behind the blue haired woman's back and grabbed her before throwing her away from Hinata. She couldn't believe this, but the young man that had gone into a crazy beast had just grabbed a hold of the woman and was going to kill her. Hinata slid down onto the floor as she breathed heavily; it felt as if she had been holding onto her breath this entire time.

Hinata tried to get herself to calm down; she wanted to make sure that she was calm and collected right now. If Naruto had responded to her cries for help, did that mean that he was still in there? Still trying to break to the surface? That had to mean something right? After all, there was just no way that he would have just killed that woman and ignore Hinata while trying to kill her… if he wanted to, he could have killed both of the two women at the same time instead of just killing them one at a time instead.

Speaking of which… Hinata looked over and saw two bodies lying on the ground. He really did kill them, but it wasn't as bad as it was with Orochimaru. Maybe Naruto had sensed the evil in him being much greater than those two men, she wasn't sure but at the moment it may not even matter in the first place.

Gulping, the young woman tried to get herself to calm down, yet that was almost impossible for she could hear the sound of flesh being ripped open and the woman bloody murder. It was as if Naruto was even ripping her very soul apart, though there was something weird about the growl that he was producing. In fact, it sounded different… different than it was moments ago when he was attacking Orochimaru and those two other men. His growl almost sounded like… he was being protective.

As soon as it had begun, it had ended… Naruto slowly started to make his way toward Hinata, his eyes still crimson as was his hair, tails and ears. It was as if he was still trying to fight to the surface though the beast that dwelled within him was winning, and had tried to remain on the surface forever. "N… Naruto?" Hinata said with a hint of fear in her voice, not sure if he would attack her or not, not sure if he was trying to keep the part of him that still cared about her and others around him… or, if the beast that was within him, that was on the surface was trying to make sure that it stayed in control.

He knelt in front of Hinata and just stared at her. His eyes narrowed into slits as he just stared at her. It was as if the young man was trying to figure out what she meant to him though just couldn't seem to figure it out. Hinata just stared at Naruto, tears filling her lavender coloured eyes as she just stared at him. It was sad, to see Naruto like this and knew that it was going to reverse all the progress that she and Naruto had gone through just to make sure that he could live a normal life.

"Naruto… do… do you remember me?" Hinata said, her voice shaking a bit in fear. Thinking that he wouldn't remember her, that he would forever be like a beast. Naruto tilted his head to the side, trying to figure out what she was saying. In a way, it was like when he had first woken up at her home. He had acted like a curious animal and now, that was how he was acting right at this very moment.

Her tears started to spill and rolled down her cheeks as she stared at Naruto. It seemed like she had lost him forever and now, she would never be with him… Not if he acted like some wild animal. Suddenly, Naruto had done something that she hadn't expected from him at all. In fact, it almost seemed like he had returned to his normal self, even if it had only been a moment. For, as soon as her tears had started to roll down her face, Naruto reached out, careful of his claws and gently started to wipe away her tears.

He… he was wiping away her tears like when she had first started to cry in front of him. There was no mistaken it, Naruto had reverted a little bit back to himself. Looking up at him, Hinata carefully lifted her arm, not wanting to make any sudden movements in case she scared him, knowing that if he was just like a wild animal at this moment that he may end up attacking her if she did a sudden movement. Inhaling softly, Hinata grabbed a hold of his wrist and gave him a soft yet gentle smile before placing his hand on her belly. "Feel that Naruto? The… the twins… they want to meet their father when they're born… how about… we just go home okay?"

"Hinata be careful! He may kill you!" shouted Jiraiya.

"I trust Naruto…" Hinata said with her gentle smile still in place.

The young man just stared at the blue haired young woman for a moment. As if trying to think on what it meant though he just stared at her stomach when he felt the movement from the babies that Hinata carried. Tears started to roll down his face as he said "I… I… I'm… going… to be… a father…?" It seemed that he was starting to come out of his trance, for his eyes had started to turn blue, slowly but surely he was returning to the man that she had fallen in love with.

Maybe on some level, Naruto knew that Hinata was his 'mate' even while he was in that beast form of his. That was why he never attacked her, or even tried to kill her when he had reverted into that beast. Naruto blinked slowly, his crimson hair had started to turn blonde once again. Every single strand was becoming bright blonde as it had been before he had turned into this beast. As were his tails and ears.

Soon, Naruto had returned to being himself and groaned softly. Hinata hugged Naruto as she started to cry. She couldn't believe that he had returned to normal but at the moment, she didn't care. All she cared about was that Naruto was himself again, and that he had broken the beasts hold over him once and for all… now, they just had to find a way out of here…
