Hinata's P.O.V
I wake up and scream. Naruto was standing over me with a knife. I immediately smack his hand hard upwards. I scramble away as soon as I get the chance. Naruto yelps, catching the knife by the handle. He holds a look of bewilderment.
"What the actual hell?!" Naruto growls at me, grabbing me up by my hand. He checks me over, frowning at me.
"I could say the same for you …you murderer!" I yelp at him. He looks at me as if I grew a second head.
"I wasn't trying to kill you, trust me a knife is not my choice of murder," Naruto says, rolling his eyes. "I was about to wake you up for breakfast and accidently brought the knife," He huffs at me. I turn an unhealthy shade of red and turn away.
"Come on breakfast is ready," He then marches to the upstairs. I follow closely behind and am amazed at the good-looking food. I guess my eyes were wide in shock because Naruto started chuckling at me. I sigh and go for the eggs. I nibble on them, before finding that I do truly enjoy the food he has prepared. Naruto will lean over, gentle scrapping something else on my plate. I ate with caution at first, before meekly filling myself up. Naruto hums in approval. I excuse myself, feeling thoroughly stuff. He nods his head.
Naruto's P.O.V
I watch Hinata waddle away and stifle a chuckle. She opens and closes the door. I stand up and clear off the table when I remember one thing. 'I still haven't cleared that sakura thing up with Hime,' I sigh and rush to finish. After I finish, I walk to her room and notice she's in the shower. I walk to her bed, easily spotting the colorful book laying in the middle. I quickly put the 4th book in my hidden pocket in my jacket. I did it at the right moment because she walks out the bathroom. I see she's on guard as if the sight of me scares her so badly. I can't be angry at this. I have only display so much anger, hate and rage it's understandable.
"Hinata, I want to talk to you about what you heard?" I instantly begin with a calm, almost gentle tone. She looks at me, quizzically and tilts her head to the side. I point to the chair beside me, instantly she goes to sit. I can't help the soft purr of satisfaction. This means I can start my next phase, I'm sure.
"I…Can we not talk about it? That's your personal matter…" Hinata says, meekly. She presses her fingers together, looking at me with doe eyes. It's rare I see these eye, usually she can't make eye contact with me.
"I want to tell you, it will help me," I say, taking a seat closer to her. "What you heard is true, she has told me she loves me…but I do not return the affection," I explain, looking at her with sincere eyes. There is a stark silence, before she speaks.
"Naruto…um I don't know what to do with this information, thank you?" Hinata says, I can tell the words I said did not clear much up. She gives me this concern look, trying to figure out what game I am playing now. I can feel the familiar frustration starting to press in my chest. I sigh.
"…Naruto…what does telling me this do? you um…you've made life hard…I don't see what can co- "That takes my little patience. I stand up, fast. My blue eyes bleed over to red. The sight scares her terribly. She is stuck to my eyes, trembling. This is her first time seeing this and I feel terrible.
"I came to help ease your mind!" I shout, stepping towards her. She throws her hands up, protecting her face. Once I am close enough, I fully become aware of myself. I'm hurting her too bad, aren't I?
'Yes…' Kyubi says, finally. He must have known this whole time. His voice holds nothing but relief as if he was waiting. Hinata grabs my arm, much like when I'm pining her. She grips it, pleading. I feel bile raise into my throat. This is something she is doing to try to plead her case. It's icy hot guilt that spreads into my chest.
"Am I a monster to you?" I ask, numbly. She looks up, eyes holding tears already. She stares at me, scared of replying and gives a very faint whimper. That's my answer. I'm a monster. The mate shit works for animals, she's a human a fully capable thinking being.
"Leave," I whisper, hoarsely. Hinata's eyes grow wider. I rip her hand off me. I step back, swiftly leaving a confused Hinata. "Leave!" I shout, covering my face. I can hear her scurry up and rush up the stairs. I grit my teeth. I slip down the wall.
"I'm a fucking monster," I whisper.
Hinata P.O.V
I run up the stairs and out the house. Tears begin to fall down my face. I am once again kick from another home. Am I even allow to consider a home? I wonder. I look up as a rain droplet hits me directly on my nose. I wrap my arms around me, tightly. I breath, hard and begin to try to navigate myself to a place of shelter.
Naruto's eyes have never turn red before. Am I really that insufferable? I'm a pet to him, I just can't understand why he felt he must tell me about Sakura and him. I don't know what game he is trying to play at, but I don't want to engage. It hurts enough knowing I like the man who causes great harm to me. It's not like he's ever been kind, nothing I can hold onto and hope. So why? I should hate him, beg the sky for him to drop dead. I look at my feet as I walk. Maybe I am sick?
I look up as I see a familiar tree. I smile, walking quickly to it, sitting down underneath the branches. This is my training ground. The one I always use, even if Naruto seems to always find me. I guess he wasn't too bad in the beginning. He used to just stare at me and tilt his head. I muse as I look at the branches. He started to bully me within months after our first encounters. I can't phantom what I did to him that would cause him to hate me so much.
The rain begins to pick up, making me bow my head. I will start to look for proper shelter after a nap. I can't go home…Naruto's home or my compound. I draw into the forming mud, smiling. I hear a loud shock gasp.
"Hinata?" I look up and grimace at the pink hair. Sakura reaches, grabbing my hand. My hair slides to the left and she gasps even further. The seal is a reappearing shock to people. I can only assume my family keeps what happen to me under wraps.
"Come on Hinata," Sakura's voice is soft. She walks me out the training ground and leads me to her home. Once we arrive, I start to grow anxious. She loves Naruto, what if she knows I like him too? She ushers me in and quickly shuts the door behind her. I frown as I look back, half expecting Naruto to be right behind us.
Sakura gets me into the shower, rushing off to explain to her parents what is going on. I look around the bathroom, before I dress into the clothes I am offer. I turn to look at my back before fully dressing, and a large bruise stays on it. I hear a knock; Sakura gives a loud squeak of horror. I hastily yank down the shirt. Sakura looks like she wants to ask, but quickly shuts up. She gently guides me to the room.
"You can talk to me tomorrow Hinata," Sakura whispers, softly before closing the door behind her. I frown, sitting up. I want to talk to her now, make sure she doesn't tell anyone. I bite my lip, nervous. Naruto might not like that. Someone will connect the dots, someone like Neji. I stand up, pacing the floor. I don't want to anger him any further. I look at the window. I bite my lip. I open the window, looking up at the stormy night. It's a little ludicrous. I suck in a breath.
"Naruto!" I call out, wringing my hands. I wait, knowing this is stupid. He's not coming. He told me to leave. I barely have the chance to cry out when he seems to appear in front of me. His eyes were red, as well as puffy. The blue is long gone, but it seems he's been crying. The look he gives is one of concern. He surveys the room, frowning deeply.
"Hinata," Naruto mumbles. He looks like a scare animal; I feel an ache. This is not the proud man. I frown, trying figure out why I even called. He should rot in hell for all he's done, but this deep-seated loyalty chews at the back of my mind.
"You found somewhere safe…good. Hinata, I have something to say," Naruto mumbles. "You can now make a decision. You can go back to your life before…this or you can come back. Choose it wisely." Naruto mumbles. He steps down, leaning forward and presses a gentle kiss to my forehead. I almost grab him back when he walks away to the window. He looks back, and nods before he leaps into the rainy night. I stare at his retreating back before sitting on the bed. I look up and notice a book. I reach for it, looking at the child like drawing. I rub my hand across it and sit down. A tear slides down my cheek.
"Naruto…I'm the mate aren't I?" I whisper into the desolate night.
