5. Let The Monster Rise

REPO

The ninja opera

Two weeks, he wasn't entirely sure just how they had done it but he and Hinata had somehow managed to pull everything together in just two weeks. And now he found himself standing in front of the priest waiting for his bride to walk down the aisle.

Well he was waiting for her he once again scanned over the group of people that had come. Neither one of them had had a very long list of people that they had considered Friends. Though for such a small wedding there were a lot of high profile people, they had even gotten sakura to sing for their reception. However two men stood out above the crowed. Kakashi had shown up claiming that anything that got him out of having to do paperwork was something he wouldn't miss for the world. However even the appearance of the Hokage wasn't as surprising as the next guest. To everyone else's surprise, well not everyone, Naruto knew why he was there; orochimaru along with his three kids had shown up not long after kakashi. Thankfully it seemed that orochimaru had told his kids that they where to sit down shut up and not cause a scene. There were also a number of Huuga as well as most of the higher ups at the hospital. Still it had remained mercifully small and low key.

However it was at this point he was brought back to the real world as the organist started to play and he first set eyes on his love in her elegant wedding dress. At just the sight of her all other thoughts were banished from his mind. He was stunned at just how beautiful she looked in her white dress. Her pail lavender eyes hidden by her veil, her gloved hand holding a beautiful bouquet, if he had been having second thoughts about if he had made the wrong choice they were all gone now. He knew that he had made the right choice and that no matter what the future was going to be it would be all the better with Hinata there beside him. she had finally reached the podium and turned to face him, a small smile on her face was all he could see but that smile was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen and he knew that he would remember it until his dyeing day.

The service had been simple but in his opinion it was all the more special for it. He had just finished his first dace with Hinata as husband and wife and the two where now socialising with the rest of their guests. Well Hinata was socialising, Naruto was just trying to become as small and uninteresting as possible, and he really didn't want to get sucked into some boarding conversation where he had no idea what anyone was talking about. However it seemed as though this was not to be as he felt some one grab him by the shoulder and pull him back into one of the more secluded areas of the garden that they were having the reception in. He turned around ready for a fight but came face to face with kakashi, who was wearing his kage robe and hat along with his usual mask and slanted head band.

"yo." Was all he said along with his patented eye-smile. All Naruto could do was grown at his old sensei's odd behaviour.

"Hello kakashi-sensei. It was nice of you to come, surprising but nice none the less." It was no secret, at least between the two, that they weren't as close as most students were to their sensei's and visas versa.

"Well it's not every day that one of your old students gets married now is it?" he asked. "Besides it got me out of the office for the day and that was a good enough reason for me." He laughed at his own joke.

"I imagine, I have enough paper work to do on my own and that's just for the one part of the hospital I can only imagine what it's like for the entire village." He had become rather good at reading people's intentions from all the years of having to try to read orochimaru, something he still had trouble with. "but I doubt that you pulled me all the way over her just to complain about you work load, so why don't we stop acting and you tell me whatever it is you want to so we can get back to everyone before someone starts asking questions?"

Kakashi's eye suddenly hardened and the air around them thickened with tension. "I wanted to ask if you had any idea just what you've done? Do you really think that you're going to be able to keep your nightly adventures a secret from her? Have you even thought about what it will do to her when, and it is a when, she finds out that you've been living a double life, that there's a completely different side to you that she had no idea about when she had agreed to marry you." by now kakashi had backed Naruto up against a wall, and was looking him strait in the eye.

"Actually sensei the thought had crossed my mind once or twice," the cynicism in his voice apparent. "And, not that it's any of your business, I as of last week am no longer a repo man for gene co. I had decided that something's where more important then a job. I've decided to leave that part of my life in the past. Now I really think that we should be getting back before people start to wonder just what it was we were doing back here." And with that he steeped around kakashi and walked back in the direction of the rest of the guests leaving kakashi who was silently cursing that no one had bothered to tell him that there had been one less repo man on the streets for the past week.

It was late, well past midnight. He knew that he should be sleeping but he just couldn't. It had been this way for over a month now; no matter what he did he just couldn't get more than a few hours of sleep a night. At first he thought that it was just that he was just adjusting to not having to be out and about at three in the morning. But it wasn't just that, he had been restless and fidgety as well. It was only recently that he had figured out just what his problem was, and to say that he was a little disturbed by it would have been an understatement. He missed it, the thrill of the chance, the power he felt whenever he put the mask on, all of it. He missed being a repo man; it had been a part of who he had been for so long it felt like he had lost a part of himself. However whenever the thought of joining back up slipped it to his mind the image of Hinata on their wedding day always came to him and he was able to repress those thoughts once again. He couldn't do that to her, he loved her more too much to do that to her. So all he could do was keep himself busy and hope that after enough time he would be able to put that part of himself in the past for good.

Orochimaru was not happy. It had been over two months since he had lost his best repo man already he had seen a difference in the number of repossessions. Even after hiring two new ones to take his place he had been barely able to keep up with all the people that had defaulted on their payments. Not only that but half the time the organs that they had been sent to reposes where completely butchered and unusable. He had always known that Naruto had been the best but he hadn't realised just how much he had come to depend on him until now. It had now become his top priority to get his repo man back. 'But how?' that was the thought that kept running thru his mind. He couldn't just kill of his wife and expect him to come running back to him. No this situation called for subtlety. Maybe he could arrange an accident to kill her, it's not like it would have been that hard, but still there was no guarantee that he would get his repo man back. No, he needed something that would guarantee he got his repo man back, preferable permanently. No this needed something more than just killing of his wife; he needed leverage something he could hold over his head for as long as wanted.

"Fuck dad why don't you just kill the idiot and be done with It." blurted out kiba

"And what makes you think that I'm thinking about Naruto?" asked orochimaru in annoyance. Sometimes he thought that it would of been better if he simply got rid of his no good kids and started fresh, unfortunately that was no longer an option, they there all to high profile, someone would notice if they went missing and start asking question.

"You're all ways thinking of that fucking moron now." Said kiba as he threw himself across one of the couches in his father's office.

"Because, unlike some people I could name he's actually has skills outside of killing people indiscriminately," at this he glared at kiba. "It's just a matter getting him to use those skills for us."

"Then fuck, I don't know, just threaten his wife and kid or something." Kiba said throwing his hands up in the air in exasperation, had never really liked the fact that his father spent so much time thinking about the blond.

"A good idea, if a little blunt, except for the fact that I would much prefer not pissing of a man that knows how to kill someone better than most seasoned jounin." Honestly how stupid could he get, despite not being an active ninja for almost five years he was still one of the most skilled killers in the village, and here his boy wanted to threaten him, was he really so foolish as to think that he would win if they fought, given enough time he wasn't even sure if he would win in a fight. But then a thought struck him his kid, he could use that against him. He would wait till after that cursed Huuga had given birth, kill her, and then frame Naruto for her death. Then he would swoop in and offer him a way out then not only would he have his repo man back but he would have something to hold over him for the rest of his life. It was perfect.

"You know son sometimes I wonder just why I keep you and your siblings around, then one of you go's and says something helpful." He said looking at kiba with amusement.

He was frantic. It had happened last night. They had been having supper just like any other night; he had just finished telling her about his day at the hospital. Nothing particularly interesting had happened but Hinata had always insisted that he tell her everything about his day. It was then that she had said that she felt faint. Although Naruto knew that this feeling wasn't exactly uncommon for pregnant woman he was still out of his char and by her side in a split second. However the moment that she had actually lost consciousness was when he truly started to worry. So quickly he grabbed he bridal style and high tailed it out to the hospital.

He had to of been pacing back and forth outside of the exam room for well over two hours before the doctor came out. The news had not been what he had been hoping for. It seemed that Hiatans mother had had the same problem with her sister, some obscure blood disease. He was not ashamed to admit that he had broken down there in the hospital hall. It was his mother all over again, but this time he wasn't a little ten year old who hardly knew what he was doing. No he was the greatest medical genius of the century, he would find a cure, and he wasn't going to lose her. No matter what he had to do he wouldn't lose her.

And so he now found himself in the one room he had thought he had put behind him forever. It was now covered in a thin layer of dust though the smell of blood still permeated the room. However this was all inconsequential, this was the room that he stored all his medical equipment and the room he would be spending the majority of his time in the coming months. He had no idea how he was going to do it, but he would find a cure it wasn't even a question in his mind, he would find a cure, Hinata would live and they would grow old together. There was no other way that this could turn out.

Hours turned to days, days to weeks, weeks to months, time had lost all meaning to him he had become so focused to finding a cure that he had stopped going to the hospital completely and only left the house for food and supplies. His time divided in to either working in his lab or taking care of his ailing wife. The doctors at the hospital had all but given up hope and so had released Hinata so that she could spend the rest of her life comfortably at home. He had never been more grateful to his mother for teaching him the kagebushin. Not only could he have one with Hinata all the time but with no less than ten working on the problem of finding a cure each day he had been making great strides. However time was running out, no matter what he did he knew that she would never survive giving birth to their child and she was due anytime now. But it didn't matter, he was so close, all he needed was another day or two to put the finishing touches on it and it would be finished. However that was not to be. He suddenly felt the sudden information rush of one of his clones dispersing. He was too late, it seemed that her health had taken a turn for the worse and now he was in danger of not only losing his wife but his unborn child. Damming the consequences he grabbed the unfinished cure and prayed that it would be enough.

Running up the stairs two at a time he was in their room only seconds after he had gotten the flood of information from his clone. He found her sitting up in the bed coughing and looking even weaker than he had remembered. He could almost feel his heart break at just the sight of her. "No, god no, not now." He cried running over to her. She was coughing up blood now, her pail lavender eyes where blood shot and unfocused, even without his medical training he could tell that her time was almost up. Desperation quickly took a hold on his heart and he knew that he had run out of time, he either gave her his unfinished cure or he let her die. He quickly leaned in over the bed to try and comfort his dyeing wife. He was crying now leaning in to whisper sweat nothings in her ear while hugging her close to his chest. Gently laying her back down on the bed he turned to take the vile of medicine he had set down on the night table before giving a silent prayer that it would work. "Honey, please can you hear me?" all he got was a small nod. "Good, good. Now please just drink this, I promise that it will make everything better." He couldn't stop his voice from cracking at the end. Again all he got was a small nod. Slowly he pored the medicine into her mouth and waited with baited breath for it to take effect. However it seemed that not only was his medicine ineffective but it seemed to only worsen her condition. All he could do was drop to his knees in horror as he watched his wife start to bleed out of her eyes, ears and nose while the blood that she had been coughing up earlier only seemed too intensified. "No, no, gods no not again." he cried out tears freely falling from his eyes. Why was it always him, why did he have to be the one to lose everything, why couldn't he be happy? All these thoughts and more where racing through his mind. It was then that he looked up to his dyeing wife's form and his eyes went straight to her swelled stomach. If he couldn't save his wife then he would do what he could to save his child, he refused to lose it he needed something anything to hold onto at this point and if it couldn't be his wife then it would be his child. Quickly trying to compose himself he picked up his wife's bleeding form and carried her down to his secret operating room.

The operation was simple, but it had been too much for Hinata's already weak body and she had slipped half way thru. Now Naruto sat on one of the chairs scattered around the room with his new daughter wrapped in a blanket in his arms. However Naruto was dead to the world. He had simply shutdown, there weren't any thoughts running thru his head he didn't even notice the extra wait in his arms. All he felt was numb even the sounds coming from the house where muffled to the point that they where completely indistinguishable from each other.

Unfortunately in his shocked state he was unable to sense the new presences in the house. Soon enough he found himself being dragged to his feet and the newborn, his newborn, being taken from him. It was then that he snapped out of his stupor. 'No! No I can't lose her too.' He screamed in his head.

He struggled against the two anbu that where holding him back. They were trying to steal his daughter, the only thing he had left of her. The only thing that he had in the entire world that let him think he was anything but a monster and they were trying to take her away from him. "No!" he yelled before overpowering one of the anbu trying to restrain him and throwing him over his shoulder onto one of the metal operating tables in the room. He then turn and punched one of the anbu in the face forcing him to let go of his arm. Now free of the two holding him back he turned to face the female anbu that was currently holding his daughter. However in his current state of mind he never noticed the fourth anbu that had been able to sneak up behind him and club him on the back of the head with the ring end of a kunai.

His head hurt, hell his whole body hurt. He had no idea where he was, he couldn't think clearly and the last thing he remembered was holding his daughter. His daughter! It all came rushing back to him, how his wife had died, the operation, holding his daughter, then the anbu. They had taken her from him.

He shot strait up and looked around. He was obviously in a holding cell of some sort, probably at anbu HQ. It was a square, stone room. The only thing in the room, besides himself was a small wooden bunk a hanging light and a large metal door. However the contents of the room where the last thing on his mind. Now that he had been knocked out his earlier numbness, the guilt started to take over. The guilt of being unable to save his wife, of killing her to save their daughter even the old guilty of killing his mother came crashing back. He couldn't take it anymore, all the guilt, all the death. He looked down to his hands in disgust. What kind of doctor was he when not only he wasn't able to save those closest to him, to even be the cause of their deaths. These hands weren't made to save people. They only knew how to kill that was obvious to him now. The image of his new daughter soon came to him, would she end up like all the others, would he find himself staring down at her lifeless body sometime in the future. 'No! No never' he refused to even think like that, he would do everything in his power to keep her safe. She had become the only good thing in his life now and he would protect her from the world, he didn't care what he had to do but she would be safe. However these thoughts soon brought him back to his current predicament. How could he possible protect her if he was stuck in here.

He had no idea how long he had been sitting there, an hour, two he didn't know. However soon the sound of metal scraping against stone brought him out of his thoughts and back into the real world, and there standing in the door way was the last person he was expecting to see. If it had been some nameless anbu even if it had been kakashi it would have been understandable but why orochimaru himself was standing there escaped him.

"Naruto my boy, I came as soon as I heard." He said with concern evident in his voice, something Naruto had never heard from the man before. "Their saying that you murdered your wife. Though I'm sure this is just some horrible mistake. If you just told me what happened I'm sure that I could fix this if you just told me what happened."

Normally Naruto would be suspicions of the man offering to help him but in his current frame of mind he was desperate and more than willing to accept the help of the snake man. And so he told his story, about how Hinata had fallen ill, about how he had spent months trying to find a cure, about how it had only made thing worse, about how he had to operate so that at least one of them could live.

"Well that is quite a tail and if it makes you feel any better I agree, you didn't have any other choices available to you. Unfortunately I doubt that many others will see it that way. You know how people are always looking for the easiest solution to their problem, always looking to place the blame on someone." Orochimaru said shaking his head in apparent disgust for human nature.

Naruto was desperate now, he couldn't go to jail, and he needed to protect his daughter and to do that he needed to be a free man. "Pleas, pleas I'm begging you, I know that you can fix this, your one of the most powerful people in the world." at this point he fell to his knees in front of the snaky man. "Pleas I'll do anything, just let me be with my daughter." He was desperate; this was his one best chance to be free, to be able to watch over his and Hinata's child.

"Well, I imagine that if I vouched that you had no choice, that Hinata was already dyeing and you had been forced to make a choice between losing both of them or just one, that they might be more liniment. They may even acquit you all together. And if you were still my repo man I would without giving it a second thought. But if memory serves you stopped working for me almost nine months ago. And therein lies the problems I can't go around vouching for just anybody, if I did that just imagine all the people who would come to me for help. Then again, if you were to become one of my employees again well then I would be only too happy to help, after all it would be bad press if one of my employees was found guilty of killing his wife now wouldn't it?" he asked, now having trouble keeping the satisfaction out of his voice.

Naruto wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what the man was asking of him, he wanted him to become one of his repo men again. The image of Hinata on their wedding day flashed before him, it had almost become a reflex to think of her whenever the thought of going back to being a repo man came up. But then he remembered that she was dead and he no longer had to worry about what she would think of him. Then the image of his new born daughter came to him. Could he really subject her to this kind of life? Then again if he was stuck in prison what kind of life would she lead then. No the answer was clear, he had no choice. He would sell his soul to the devil all over again and this time he knew that there was no getting out of this agreement that he would spend the rest of his life under the snake mans thumb, but so long as he was able to protect her he was fine with that. "Fine, fine. I'll be your repo man, just give me back my daughter. Please, I'm begging you, she all I have now." He said his voice breaking at the mention of his daughter.

"Well then, let me be the first to welcome you back. Now let's see what I can do about this whole mess." And with hat he turned back to the door and walked out. Leaving a weeping Naruto still kneeling on the floor.

This was his home, here surrounded by darkness, immersed in the shadows. Even after so long the night was still there ready to welcome him back almost as if it had known that he would be back. Maybe a part of him had always known that he would never be able to leave her for long. The night had always been there for him, had loved him, protected him, even when he had been younger he had always loved the night. In many ways it had been his first love, she was the first thing to show any kindness to him when he had still been living on the streets, hiding him from the people that had wanted to hurt him, providing cover so he could steal the food he needed to survive, she had loved him unconditionally and he had loved her right back. Evan after his mother had adopted him the night was still there, waiting for him to return. And when he did she had still loved him, hiding him in her deep shadows, giving him all the moonlight he needed to do his job. She had never judged him, was never disappointed in him and he had loved her even more for it. And now he was back and still she loved him, hugging and caressing him in her shadowy embrace and again he loved her even more, all he had ever wanted was to be loved and all she had ever done was love him. It was comforting, knowing that no matter what he would always be loved and he was committed to give the same love the night had given him all his life to his daughter. He would always be there; he would protect her like the night protected him. However all that was in the future, for now he only wanted to immerse himself in the night and forget about everything that had happened the other day. Even here surrounded by the loving embrace of the night he could feel the loss of his wife deep down in his heart almost like a black hole that was tearing him apart from the inside out. No he couldn't be thinking about her now, he needed to focus. He couldn't get emotional now, he had a job to do and that was what he was going to do.

He had been off the job for almost a year now but nothing had changed, actually people seemed to of gotten bolder then he had remembered. Normally his targets would be at least a little nervous, but there she was just out on the street walking home from what appeared to be a party. All he could do was shake his head at the stupidity of some people.

He had been worried that after so long he would be rusty but that seemed to be a groundless worry. He was right behind her and still she hadn't noticed him, though the fact that she was drunk probably helped. However when he reached out grab her his hand stopped and an image of Hinata flashed before him, a disappointed look on her face. He shook his head, he needed to do this, he had agreed to do this so that he could take care of their daughter. Once again he reached out to grab her but before his hand even got half way there the image of his daughters flashed before him. The thought of what she would think of him when she got older, the thought that she would hate him, call him a monster made his had tremble. No, he had to do this, it didn't matter what she thought of him, he loved her and this was the only way he could be there to protect her. This time his hand shot out, not giving himself enough time to think, and grabbed her by the back of her neck then stabbed her in the lower back effectively paralyzing her from the waist down. She fell to the ground screaming. Not even giving her a second thought he turned her over and cut away at her shirt reviling a well toned stomach. From there it was a simple, almost second nature. He cut away the skin and mussel around her mid section before reaching in and moving the large and small intestines out of the way then cut the tissue that held the liver in place before ripping it out of her now lifeless body. All in all it took no more than four minutes. It seemed that his fears about going rusty had been unfounded. And that was that, the repo man was back, just as merciless as ever. That got Naruto thinking, it had been almost nine months since he had done this last but it still came to him so easily. It should have been harder; he had thought that he had finally banished that part of himself months ago, that he would have had to build up that persona from scratch. But apparently the repo man in him was harder to get rid of than he had thought, and perhaps that was a blessing, he could remember all the pain he had felt in the beginning and he honestly could say that he didn't think that he could take much more and still cling onto whatever sanity he still had. But all these thoughts were distractions and he still needed to deliver this particular liver to orochimaru. So after he had secured his cargo in the cooled part of his bag he stood up and started down the road trying desperately to keep his mind on delivering his package and getting back home to his daughter.

A/N

Well there you go. So Hinata's dead, Naruto's a repo man again, and to top it all off a new father. anyway, thats the end of the first arc, next up Repo girl.

Also, though I'm pretty sure that I made it rather obvious in the story so far, Naruto's completely lost his mind by this point, not that he was all there to begin with, so if some of his actions don't seem entirely logical or make much sense to you, well that's why.
