"So where to next?" Naruto asked as the young couple got off the bridge and officially departed Wave Country.

"I don't know. Where would you like to go?" Hinata asked back.

"Oh no, I already chose where we went for our little vacation. Now it's your turn to choose." He told her.

Hinata smiled. "Well then, how about where my team took our first out-of-town mission?"

"Sounds good. Where was that?"

"This place called the Fire Temple." The white-eyed girl answered. "It's this holy place near where the Fire Daimyo lives, where monks live and train in a form of taijutsu called Kung Fu, which many claim is the very first form of taijutsu ever created. But they use it for meditation and self-defense. Unlike us, they are taught to never be the aggressor in a fight, only the finisher."

"Could we get some training there?" Naruto asked.

"I'm sure we can ask. And we should get some training in. Sometimes I worry that you helping me is getting in the way of your training." She said.

Naruto put his hands on her shoulders. "I have no regrets about helping you. If anything, I should do more. You've helped me more than anyone else ever has. I can never thank you enough."

Hinata just beamed at him. "Still, let me help you keep your training up. We're not going to connected at the hip all the time, so we might as well do other things. Hmm..." She paused to think. "From what I remember you telling me, both of your senseis were very lax in teaching you anything other than morality right?"

He nodded. "Yeah, Kakashi-sensei preached teamwork but nothing to do with it. Ero-sennin did help me in more, but I think he was more interested in keeping me off the radar than making me strong."

Hinata nodded, no longer beaming. "On the one hand I can sympathize. You were being targeted by a powerful organization and he was your only real protection. He likely had reason to believe if you got too much attention drawn to you then you'd be in danger, so he couldn't instruct you in anything flashy or majorly destructive. But at the same time, he had a duty to prepare you on how to defend yourself if they attacked you anyway. It sounded like he was relying on luck more than anything."

"You might be right. But give the old perv some credit. I was attacked by the Akatsuki before the big trip and he scared off two of them."

"And if more than two came to find you?" Hinata asked.

Naruto had no answer. Akatsuki may have always traveled in pairs, but surely there was nothing preventing them from changing tactics to get him. And what if they had showed up for him sooner? Two alone had been able to take down Gaara and he was the freaking Kazekage! And Jiraiya's whole plan to keep him safe had been to merely make Naruto less noticeable? What about now that Naruto had returned to Konoha? What was the plan now?

Naruto couldn't help but frown as the implications came to him. Since returning to Konoha, what training had he gotten? From Kakashi or Jiraiya? Or anyone? Who had even offered to help? Granted the need to rescue Gaara did come up, and helping Hinata had been a big priority for him, but surely someone should have at least offered.

Hinata shook her head. "Let's not get into that right now. What's important is I'm willing to help. I can't show you much given how most of my training was clan-related, but not all of it. A while ago, Kurenai-sensei gave me some lessons on elemental manipulation. Do you know how to do elemental jutsu?"

He shook his head. "No. I asked Ero-sennin for that but he kept saying I 'wasn't ready'." At that Naruto couldn't resist scoffing. "Yet he never bothered getting me ready, nor telling me what I had to do to get ready."

"Let's not focus on that. Let's just move on with our trip and enjoy ourselves. I think we can save any elemental training for when we get to the temple." Hinata offered.

"I hope that these monks at least don't expect us to be celibate." Naruto said with a cheeky grin.

Hinata smiled sweetly and leaned against him while still walking. "I think I've created a pervert."

"Perverts will be with anyone, I will only be with you." Naruto said firmly, arm wrapped around her waist.

Hinata closed her eyes and kept her smile, simply basking in the love they shared.

There were thirty Hyuuga's or more who had entered the courtyard, all of them with their byakugan activated and focused on Aru, who stared right back at them through his dark shades.

"Alright, apparently you've interbred so much your hearing has gone. I would like to see Hanabi Hyuuga." Aru said in a very casual voice as if the threat of an impending attack did not exist.

One of the Hyuuga's, a middle-aged male branch member with more loyalty then common sense, charged forward intending to open palm punch Aru.

Aru allowed the man to get within distance of him then casually dodged the open fist, sidestepping and then slamming the back of his elbow into the back of the Hyuuga's neck, hard enough for a bone to pop.

The moment their comrade dropped to the ground, barely twitching, all of the Hyuuga's dropped into a battle stance.

Aru could sense the incoming attack and sighed as he reached up and removed his shades, revealing his demonic eyes.

"Next."

The hellhound was hot on the scent it had been following since it left Konoha. The sweet smell of cinnamon and lavender, tainted only by the scent of a man mixed in heavily.

The huge shaggy beast moved incredibly fast despite its immense size.

A single command kept running through its head; 'Find Hinata Hyuuga, kill whoever interferes.'

But at the same time, another voice, weaker but still noticeable, tried to scream at it from within.

'Stop this! Someone, help me!'

This was Kiba, trying to get his own body to listen to him but it wasn't listening. When Aru had changed his body, he had practically taken control of it away from the teen. Kiba was trapped in a prison of his own mind, forced to watch as his body acted on its own accord. He could see everything but he could do nothing to stop it.

'Why is this happening to me?' Kiba asked himself, seeing a bridge come into view, his nose telling him his target had been in the area and traversed the bridge. Stopping for a moment, the hellhound checked the freshness of the scent and quickly determined which direction its prey had gone, then resumed the hunt.

'Hinata, I'm sorry for this.' Kiba bemoaned, unable to do anything else. 'I was a fool to trust that man… no, not a man, he's some kind of demon. I should have taken it up with the hokage, but instead I just took his money and did what he asked. And now… I'm just some kind of demon too. Whatever he wants with you, it can't be good.'

Hiashi and Hanabi were having their quality family time. Which was always the same, them sitting silently at a table and sipping tea while listening to the tranquil sounds coming from the koi pond coming from outside. It wasn't exactly eventful or that much of a bonding experience, but it was peaceful and sometimes that's all a ninja really needs.

But that peace was broken by the noise of fighting, shouting, and running coming outside.

Hanabi looked towards the door. "What's going on? A spar?"

Hiashi raised an eyebrow and slowly stood up. "I am not sure, but it doesn't sound like a spar."

Before the clan head could do so on his own, the door to the yard slid open and Neji entered, looking like he had something urgent to say. "Hiashi-sama, we have to leave now."

"What is going on?" The clan leader demanded.

"The compound is under attack. The enemy is overwhelming our defenses, we have to leave now."

"What?" Hiashi said and immediately activated his own Byakugan. "How many?"

"Just one sir but-"

"One? You're telling me one man dares to challenge the might of the Hyuuga clan? And you say we need to run from this one man?"

"My lord I beg forgiveness but-"

There was more shouting and a loud crash outside and all three Hyuuga exited the room to see what had happened, Neji being the last to leave as he already suspected what had just happened.

In the yard all the Hyuuga members who stood to defend against the intruder were seen unconscious and in bad shape. One was half submerged in the ground while another had been thrown through a wall. None looked dead though, but more like they shouldn't perform any physical labor for a while.

And standing right there in the yard, with barely a scratch on him was Aru, staring at them.

Neji immediately positioned himself defensively in front of his uncle and cousin, who stood attentively but not aggressively.

Aru simple smiled. "Hello, you have a very lovely home."

Hiashi showed no emotion as he spoke. "Who the hell are you?"

"Oh we are on introductions? Yes, forgive me, how rude. My name is Aru, King of all Incubi, one of the Nine Demon Lords of Hell, and the world's greatest lover, though that last title is self-given. Though plenty of ladies would say it's not undeserved."

'This man... could he be connected to Lilith?' Hiashi said, immediately suspecting the worst about this intruder. Suddenly Neji's idea of leaving didn't sound so bad after all, but it was too late to just flee now. "You have no business here. Leave now."

"Oh but I do have business here. I need your daughter." Aru stated calmly, as if merely calling in a favor from an old friend.

'He wants Hinata. He must be eliminated.' Hiashi quickly concluded. "Neji, remove this scum from my house."

"Yes Hiashi-sama." The branch house prodigy said reluctantly, but he charged forward. 'The direct approach won't work if he was able to fend off multiple juuken attacks at once. Maybe a weapon will work. He has skin, it can be cut like any other.'

With as much subtlety as he could perform, Neji tried to sneak in a kunai under his palm to work into his juuken, figuring he could sneak in a stab.

Aru quickly grabbed his wrist once the young jounin was in range and applied enough pressure to make him drop the kunai. Neji however was never one to give up so easily and tried to jab with his other hand. But before he could, he stopped himself and dropped his jaw with bulging eyes, looking like he just got hurt very badly.

And he was. For you see, Aru had sneaked in an attack of his own. Hiashi could see with his byakugan that the demon lord had made a tail appear and curled up the end to make some kind of rudimentary fist, and thrust it right at Neji's groin. And as talented as Neji was, he was still male.

'I'm glad Hanabi didn't see that. I don't need her getting ideas of how to beat me in training sessions like that.' He thought, trying to take his mind off of sympathy pain for his nephew.

Aru then kicked Neji after retracting his tail, making the branch house Hyuuga collapse and curl into himself to bear the pain. He did his best to not vocalize his agony, and Aru ignored him as if he was merely another blade of grass on the yard.

"Alright, this has been fun but now it is time to get down to business. I need that girl right there." He pointed to Hanabi.

'Hanabi? Not Hinata?' Confused, Hiashi placed a hand protectively on his daughter. "You will not touch her."

Aru sighed and looked at his watch. "I don't have time for this. I just need to borrow her for a bit."

"You will not touch her!" Hiashi shouted as he charged at Aru, who simply sighed again like he could not be less worried.

"You humans don't learn."

Aru made no attempt to do anything but give the clan head direct eye contact, which Hiashi gave when he saw a strange kind of chakra around the demon lord's eyes. Once Hiashi looked right at the eyes it was like all he could see for two seconds was mere red, even with the byakugan. It was like blood vessels had burst in his eyes.

The red glow faded almost as quickly as it came, and the next thing Hiashi felt was a horrible amount of pressure being placed on his body. It was like killing intent, but more like he was standing under a waterfall of it like a monk in training. The sensation slowed down his movements and then it forced him on his knees.

'What is he doing? It's like he just dropped a boulder onto my body. I've never heard of such a doujutsu.' Hiashi thought as he struggled to withstand the pressure.

Aru chuckled as he slowly walked to Hiashi while Hanabi just stood there frozen, her eyes wide with horror. She wanted to run, but she couldn't get her legs to move.

"Yes, this is where you humans belong, on your knees before your betters." Aru said sinisterly, not even bothering to look at Hiashi. Then he walked past him, waving his hand for a brief moment, and suddenly the pressure Hiashi felt doubled and he was slammed onto the ground.

"Father!" Hanabi cried out, then activated her own byakugan and faced Aru, cold anger on her face but sweat formed on her brow.

"It's cute how you're trying to pretend you're not so scared you could piss yourself, but please, let's just stop delaying the inevitable." Aru said, sounding bored.

'Like hell I'm going down without a fight.' The young Hyuuga told herself. She then shouted a battle cry and rushed forward, intending on avenging her family and clan. 'With any luck, he'll be unlikely to hurt me if he needs me for something.'

The moment she got within an arm's length of Aru, faster then she could see, the incubus placed two fingers on her forehead. "Shh... naptime." He whispered.

Hanabi stood in place for a single moment and then collapsed onto the ground in an unconscious heap.

Aru shook his head as he bent down and hefted the girl onto his shoulder. "So young, so naïve."

"No, don't, I'll give you anything, just don't hurt her." Hiashi pleaded while trying to withstand the pressure.

"When did I ever say I intended to hurt her?" Aru asked, then vanished. But not like a shushin, more like he was just blinked out of visibility.

The pressure immediately was lifted off of Hiashi, but he felt even worse than before now.

It was late in the afternoon and there was not a soul or sign of civilization in sight, but that didn't bother the traveling couple in the least. Instead, they perked at the idea of having this amount of privacy.

But rather than simply get hot and heavy like one would expect them to at this point, Naruto and Hinata were simply having a peaceful conversation about old times while eating a simple dinner they made.

"Really? You got promoted because your opponent in the finals was afraid of being touched?" Naruto asked. The current subject was the second time Hinata had taken the chuunin exams, that time in Suna, and what led to her getting promoted in the end.

Hinata nodded. "Yes. I was glad to be able to make it to the finals that time, but once my opponent was decided a lot of people were telling me I couldn't win. He was a boy from Suna named Kusuke who apparently had a good reputation among the locals for long range moves. The general opinion was there was no way I'd be able to get in close enough to hit him even once."

"I don't believe it. I mean, Lee was able to get close enough to fight Gaara. This Kusuke guy couldn't have been tougher."

"Tougher no, but not unskilled. Whenever I saw him fight, he was virtually impossible to hit. He was pretty good at using earth jutsu and even had some good agility of his own. My team fought his in the second round while trying to pass, and even Kiba had a hard time getting close enough to hit him."

"So what did you do?" Naruto asked, interested.

"It wasn't easy, especially when he went on the offense to keep me away from him. But I had a plan. I wasn't going in blind, I already saw him fight against Kiba and could see he was strong and nimble, but not fast. He threw his attacks, but he didn't know I was much faster and more flexible than he was and was able to get around his earth jutsu. Getting in close was easier for me than he thought, and then he switched purely to defense, trying to keep me from laying any strikes on him and simply trying to put distance between us."

"So when did you realize that his problem was he just didn't want to be touched?" Naruto asked.

"Honestly, it was in the fight itself. He kept trying to avoid me more than fight me once I got in close, like he had no way to fight back. So I was able to get in some good hits, and he flipped out shouting 'Don't touch me I hate that'."

Naruto looked like he wanted to laugh. "So he just blurted out his weakness like that?"

"Pretty much. I think he was just caught up in the moment, but it was too late for Kusuke. After that I only used some basic juuken hits, not bothering to use any high level techniques, and he quit just so he could get away from me."

"What a wimp. What ninja thinks he can get far without leaving his comfort zone once in a while?" Naruto thought out loud.

Hinata shrugged. "My next opponent in the finals was a puppet user I don't remember the name of, and my Protective Eight Trigrams helped keep me safe long enough to disable the puppet and strike the person pulling the strings. In the end, I was promoted because I was able to get around my enemy's defenses and take them down without having to exhaust myself, and while showing creativity in creating my own jutsu."

"I'm just proud you did so well. I sure hope you don't try to pull rank over me." Naruto jested.

Hinata smiled. "I don't have to pull rank. I have my own ways of getting you to listen to me." As if to prove her point she started to crawl onto his lap facing him and put her arms around him. "I could ask you to do anything and there's no way you'd refuse me."

"Yeah, because I know you won't take advantage of that, and you said 'ask' instead of 'command'." He replied, knowing this wasn't the only reason he couldn't resist her but still a valid one.

Hinata playfully grinned. "In that case, I command you to get started on pleasuring me."

"And if I say no?" Naruto asked, also grinning.

"Then I'll have to try and take your tongue out."

"In that case... no." He stated.

Hinata reacted almost immediately, pressing her lips to his and putting her tongue in his mouth. He returned the kiss to full effect, and his hands crept down to her ass which he gently squeezed. She liked it, but they didn't stay there for long. Naruto's hands shifted to her front side and started going into her private area that was no longer private to him. She gasped and broke her kiss to arch her back once his fingers started stroking the outside and inside of her vagina.

A loud howl was heard. "Damn Hinata-chan, you must be really sensitive tonight if you're moaning that loudly." Naruto whispered.

The white-eyed girl didn't look as satisfied as her lover had anticipated. "That... wasn't me Naruto-kun."

"What?"

"Something else is in the area." Hinata said, looking around. Not seeing anything she activated her byakugan, and immediately gasped. "Naruto-kun there's a-!"

She was cut off by something lunged out of the forest behind Naruto, striking him in the back and causing a gush of blood. Hinata screamed and jumped off her lover on reflex, while Naruto got on his hands and legs trying to withstand the pain.

Hinata got a good look at the thing attacking her boyfriend right there. She was what she could only describe as a monster, a werewolf if she had to call it anything, one that looked more wolf than man and even then not like a normal wolf. The ears, eyes, and paws were all red and not because of blood, and there was a mane around the neck that almost looked like it was made of scales instead of fur. A tail wagged showing it was tipped red, but the rest of the tail was a dark grey just like the rest of the fur and the mane. Thin bright yellow rings were around the eyes, emphasizing an almost burning impression they gave, and the fangs when seen were bright blue. It drooled a thick purple substance that she was sure was not normal saliva, and it snorted like a hog only flames that were colored blue and purple burst out of the nostrils.

She got over the shock and did the only thing she could. She lashed at the creature, giving a sort of wordless battlecry while trying to strike it with her juuken. She hit the limb that was still trying to rip open Naruto's back, hitting it and forced the creature to pull away, but it looked at her like she had only made it mad. But unfortunately for it, the same could be said for Hinata.

'Ow, my fingers hurt.' She thought, glancing at her fingers with her byakugan. There she saw small burns, but wasn't sure how she got them.

Naruto moved to face the creature, trying to get up. Hinata put her hand on his shoulder. "Heal first. I want to kick this thing's ass for a bit."

"Just don't overdo it." Naruto warned as the hellish creature roared, almost spewing more blue-purple flames from its nose.

'I don't know if we can beat this without overdoing it.' She worried.

Hanabi came to slowly, her entire world was spinning to the point where she felt sick and couldn't tell which direction was up. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes she would throw up.

She waited until the feeling passed and then slowly opened her eyes. She was lying on the ground, her body tied tightly with rope.

'Where am I?' She asked herself, looking around and seeing she was in some kind of clearing in the woods given how there were trees all around her but not right beside her and there was an open patch in the canopy to see the sky, which happened to be dark and full of stars. In the distance there was a faint rumble of thunder.

But what was really bad was in front of her, the man who had attacked her home. Who happened to be muttering something under his breath as he used a large tree branch to draw something in the dirt, not looking at her at all.

'He's distracted.' Hanabi thought to herself. Like a caterpillar, she started to inch and squirm away when a loud voice stopped her.

"Attempt to escape and the next time I put you to sleep you won't be waking up." Aru said, though his back was still turned to her, nor had he stopped his work.

Hanabi laid still and silent for a moment. "So are you going to blindfold me when you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Come on don't play dumb. Helpless young girl, crazy adult kidnapper. You're planning on taking advantage of me."

This time Aru did stop his work and look at Hanabi with a face of disinterest. "Get your head out of your ass. Who'd want to take advantage of you?"

Hanabi now looked confused. "What? I thought that is what creeps like you do."

"Do I look like a pervert to you?" Before Hanabi said anything Aru continued. "You'd be right, but you'd be wrong too. What are you, twelve?"

"I'm thirteen." Hanabi said with a huff.

"Exactly my point, you're just a child. Sure, I had a loli phase some time ago but frankly I prefer women with actual figures. If you were older then yes I might sample your body, but that's not why I took you. And no, I'm not holding you for ransom or going to sell you to some other village. I just need to borrow you for a quick job and then you can go back home."

With that he returned to his work.

"What do you need me for?" Hanabi asked a few moments later, not sure she'd like the answer but not enjoying the mystery any more.

"Insurance so your sister cooperates." Aru said.

"You want to take advantage of my sister?"

Aru looked at Hanabi again. "No, I need you so that your sister doesn't refuse me. Once she does as told, I will let you go."

"Just like that?"

"Just like that, then you can go back home as untouched as you left it. You are a virgin right?"

Hanabi blushed violently. "What kind of thirteen year old do you think I am?"

"You're the one who keeps bringing up sex, it kind of implies you're not exactly prudish." The incubus claimed.

"What do you want my sister for?"

"I need to rip my succubus queen's aura from her body. It will probably kill her."

Hanabi paled to the point it probably wasn't healthy. "You can't do that."

"Why not? My mate is being held prisoner in your sister's body. If your father had to kill someone to save your mother would he hold himself back?"

"My father is nothing like you." Hanabi answered, not willing to give away the fact her mother was dead. If she wasn't, Hanabi wasn't sure what Hiashi would have done in that situation though.

"If he's a man he's like me young one. All men who truly care for their women would destroy the world to save her." Aru said, sounding like to him Lilith was worth destroying others for.

Hanabi blinked, then smirked. "Then you're in trouble. My sister's with a man who would destroy the world to save her from you."

"What makes you think I didn't know that already? By the time my agent gets done with him, he'll be nothing but a memory." Aru warned. "And if by chance they succeed in defeating my agent, well, I doubt your sister will be able to look that boy in the eye again knowing what he did."

"Agent?" Hanabi asked.

"You'll see. Oh, you will see."
