Flashback
1700's

Time waits, for no one...

And mankind, cares, for no one..

Much time has passed and the world has evolved so much. Many things were quickly created. Many mistakes were made but quickly fixed. We, were growing.

I felt it.

But still.. The humans are such weak and stupid creatures.

We still haven't been found and we, were all just, living life...

As so, I thought...

One day... One dark day was all it took, to change, everything..

****

It was a regular day.. A regular hunting day. Early in the morning, I awoke from my deep slumber and was told to do what I usually do..

Hunt some unfortunate human and serve my people, that said, human...

So, I did, and it didn't take long to find a loner in the city, grabbing the young man and ripping his throat out before he could even process what was going on.

Soon, I began to tear his flimsy body apart into pieces we all could eat, a shredding sound erupting in the air.

But no one, was in sight on the road I was standing on, a large building hiding my body entirely.

With the same basket I always carried, I flopped the bloody slabs of meat inside, my feral red eyes spotting all the blood on my hands.

Ahh... What a mess..

I clicked my tongue at that, bringing my fingers up to my lips and giving it a quick lick.

I knew I was taking quite a while but... I had to enjoy myself as well..

Everyone was always counting on me to do all the hard stuff..

So they shouldn't be mad...

I smirked, taking my time with making the meal just like the other times I made it.

Chopped up into pieces or slabs.

I slowly used my sharp nails and teeth to cut through all bone and meat, ripping the skin from the meat underneath.

Once I was done with that, I dropped the meat into the basket, my red eyes occasionally looking around to scout the area.. And I grinned to find it completely empty.

Good...

But if only I knew, what was going on... back, with my family...

****

I groaned once I was done, wiping the swept from my brow. I looked down at the blood that stained the concrete and, my tan hands, my tongue clicking at that.

Well.. It's nothing I couldn't handle..

To cover my tracks, I used my powers a bit and gave my fingers, a snap.

Once I did, the blood I wanted to disappear, disappeared.

Leaving the sidewalk completely clean, just like before.

Also, my hands grew clean, like they never were tainted in the first place.

I smirked at that, standing up and grabbing my basket, making sure to cover the front of it with the sheet of thin cloth I had stashed inside.

And with that, I nodded, soon taking my leave.

I walked a bit fast, to get back to my family, moving out of the city and back to the mansion we all still lived in.

And let me just say..

That mansion... is pure heaven..

Everything we ever wanted was there and, we had, each other.

It's like a dream come true.

I smiled at that, my strong legs officially making my way out of the city, entering into the wide waste land that was there.

But when I did, my eyes suddenly spotted a red light, which seemed to beam up to the blue sky above me. And from where it was positioned...

It was, back, at the mansion...

Shit!

Quickly, anger and worry rushed through my body and my walking grew into a raged filled sprint, my blue eyes turning red in an instant. I didn't know what was going on but one thing was certain...

Someone's, found out about us...

I don't know how but.. If anyone hurt my family.. Anyone...

Oh, it's a motherfucking war..

So, with that thought, I raised my speed and it didn't take me long to arrive up to my him, immediately finding what was the problem.

My red eyes shot wide open when I spotted humans, on my turf.

The humans were all dressed in weird coats which were all black with red clouds on the front, hoodies over their heads which covered their identifies. But what they were doing, made my heart drop.

What.. The fuck?

My unconscious family were all placed on weird markings on the ground where they couldn't escape from. And one by one, the red light came back, and completely took, them away.

My eyes widen even more at that, my body acting on its own..

I have to do something..

Before it's too late!

My angry inhuman body rushed forward and I was in the scene immediately. The humans were too busy fucking around to even notice the attack I quickly sent them.

My hands formed into claws immediately and I striked through their flimsy body, easily ripping them all to shreds.

Their screams were loud as I killed every single one of them, watching as their liflesd dropped to the floor with a loud, disgusting thud, my anger getting the best of me.

I snarled, narrowing my eyes upon the weak humans before me, huge holes found in their backs, penetrating through their bodies completely. "Puny, little shits." I spat but then turned to my family, my eyes widening once more to see them all still disappearing, going who knows where..

Shit!!

They're still leaving?

I didn't know what, but I had to do something. I looked around the parking lot as demons just laid spread on the ground unconscious, my red eyes dimming darkly.

How the fuck did this happen?

How the fuck did puny little humans get the best of us?

Soon though, I spotted Karin and I ran over to her quickly, sliding on my knees towards her direction.

I stared down at her as she laid deep in her sleep on the ground, the black markings surrounding her body entirely.

I gulped at that. "Karin! Wake up!" I screamed, moving my hand forward to nudge her, to help wake her up.

It seems they were trapped in their own mines.

But when I did, the markings came alive and burnt my hand, the red beam soon appearing afterwards, taking her with it which made my heart shatter completely..

I cried out at that, grabbing at my head. "Shit! I yelled out in hurt, my heart beating faster. My inhuman body suddenly grew hot, very hot.

My anger was rising..

Rising to a deadly state.

I breathed heavily, looking around once more.

One by one, my family disappeared from me, including my mother, Garra and everyone else.

It felt like we never left hell.. It just seems we can't have a nice place to settle.. But I promise..

I'll avenge my family...

And I'll reign.. superior...

Flashback ended
-Now-

Hinata's P.O.V

Lots of time passed and it was now night outside, my being laying in Naruto's bed again.

A large, warm hand was held over my body, keeping me rooted in place. I sighed at that, my mind too troubled at the moment which kept me up.

Naruto, who laid beside me in only his boxers, was fast asleep. His snores were loud as I laid underneath him, my back directed towards his chest.

I blew out a deep breath, blowing my bangs upward a bit...

My mind just kept thinking back to what Naruto told me.. It just made my stomach all queasy. It was not, a pleasant feeling.

And his story wasn't pleasant either...

I didn't know what to think of it. It was certainly something I've never heard before... Maybe in a movie but in real life...

Hell, no..

But it's real. The arm on my being said it all, reminding me of the situation I was in.

My nights, are so much different now..

It was no more, laying alone in my own room, no.. I was trapped in a ridiculously large house which I now know, used to hold demons which were just as deadly as Naruto.

And speaking of the male, I was tied to the demon. Not only can he see through my eyes when he wanted.. My life, was connected to his. So he's more than protective of me..

And that.. explains everything...

It was totally frustrating.. I sighed, closing my eyes for a second.

I need more...

More... Information..

It seemed Naruto only wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear. But, he didn't tell me everything.

And suddenly, I remembered.

That book!!

Naruto's, book..

I bet it has some juicy information in there. I need to know more of this situation since, I'm stuck in it.

But, there was one problem...

I bit my lip and slightly turned back to the large immortal being behind me, watching as the male twitched from my movement. Also, I felt his arm tighten around me making me pout..

God.. This, is gonna be hard..

But, I want to do it. He's unconscious so..

His guard is down... Which means... He doesn't know anything...

So, I took this as my chance to walk freely, on my own.. It'll give me a piece of mind.

Because having a big bad demon breathing down your neck 247, is a real workout for the heart.

So, I want to take this opportunity while it's up.

I stared back at Naruto and spotted how his spiky blonde hair covered both of his closed eyes, his bare chest rising constantly. I breathed out breathlessly, steadying myself...

He shouldn't be mad since, I'm only leaving the room and not, the house..

So.. I should be okay...

I breathed out one more time before slowly moving my hand over, placing it on the arm that held me down.

I grabbed it softly while keeping a close eye on the sleeping demon beside me, my heart beating faster.

I didn't know how good his senses worked but... It sure looked like he was out of it..

But..

You could never know with this demon..

But, I continued to move his hand away, my fingers slightly gripping at his warm flesh.

Soon, I placed the limb of his, down on the pillow he laid on, watching as he groaned in his sleep. I blew out a relieved sigh, seeing that my actions were indeed, a success.

Yes.. I did it...

I smiled and slowly, began to move my legs off of the bed, pushing my bottom to stand up on my feet..

I smiled even wider when I managed to do it without any loud noises, the bed squeaking a small bit but.. It wasn't enough to wake up Naruto.

I mentally danced in my head at that...

I was happy.

But, I had to go before it was too late.

So, I began to take my leave but suddenly, I was stopped.

A hand shot out and grabbed the bottom of the tight gown I now wore, stopping me dead in my tracks.

I gasped in surprise at that, my worried lavender eyes shooting over to the demon that was still lying on the bed. But when I did, my eyes spotted his eyes, which were slightly open and staring back at me.

He squinted his blue eyes at me, his hand holding my gown in a tight grip, restricting me to do anything.

He then yawned. "Where are you going, little one? It's pretty late to be off alone, don't ya think?" He asked groggily, his words all slurred but I... understood everything.. I gulped..

Uhh... I have to lie. I just, have to take the risk..

I bit my lip, laughing nervously. "I-I-I just need to use the bathroom, N-N-Naruto." I lied with a nod, my lavender eyes moving to connect back with his.

He stared, at me for some time, making me extremely nervous. He then raised one blonde eyebrow but soon, let me go, slowly lowering his hand back down on the bed.

"Alright, sweetheart. Don't be away long." He spoke one last time before the sleep took him over once more, his eyes closing shut right afterwards.

I stayed to be sure he was fully asleep, my gown falling back to its original form.

Only when his snores started back up again, I calmed down, now turning to officially take my leave..

God.. That was too close...

Just, too, close...

-A Few Minutes Later-

I left Naruto's room slowly, closing the big heavy doors behind me. I breathed out a sigh of relief to be finally, alone...

Who knew being alone felt so, peaceful...

No one was there to nag me, control me, scare me.. Or even..

Hurt, me...

I was free to do my own thing for a while which brought a smile to my lips.

The rest of the mansion was pretty dark, the world outside engulfing it up whole.

But, I managed to make my way through it, turning a right from Naruto's room.

I remembered the way to his library room in my head from earlier, my lavender eyes looking around wildly in the darkness.. But, I didn't hear anything so...

I'm in the clear...

I took little steps forward, making sure I was quiet while doing so.

Naruto can still hear me if I make any noises...

So I had to be extra, extra quiet.

Soon, I looked up and spotted a huge room being granted to me, my feet quickly running in, to exit the long hallway I slowly was traveling on.

Quickly, I placed my hand on the wall near the entrance, sliding it back and forth to find the lightswitch. All of this darkness was starting to make me feel..

Uneasy... And a little scared...

I was tired of feeling that way. So when my hand ran over the lightswitch, I finally granted my surroundings some light, instantly making me feel better.

I smiled at that, looking around the room fully. I still, couldn't get over how many books there were in this one room.. It's incredible.

Yes.. But I have to get going.. I might not have much time..

So with that thought in mind, I quickly ran over to the table we were sitting at, but frowned too see the book of Naruto's no longer there.

Oh no... Where is it?

For some reason, Naruto didn't show me the inside. He only wanted to acknowledge that he had a personal journal. It was weird he had one but..

Why show it and then, hide it?

What is his deal?

But, I didn't care. I only wanted to know what was in, that, book.

All I have to do is, take a quick peak, read a few of his journal entries and boom, I'm done and I can put all of this curiosity behind me.

Because I know, sooner or later it'll get me into major trouble...

I sighed at that. But then, I remembered. Since the book isn't where Naruto left it, it had to be where he first got it.

Duh..

I smirked at my thoughts but ran over to the bookshelf to my left which wasn't too far away from the table and just stared at it. I gulped when I saw all the books there, looking completely...

The same...

How am I supposed to find his personal one?

I whimpered at that, my mind now nagging at me to go back to Naruto's room and forget all of this but that, would be giving up and I...

Can't give up.. I need, to know this..

Naruto has control over everything.. He only tells me what I want to hear and not, the full story.

He never told me how he, was hurt... He never told me how he met, Kurama. He left so many things out which really made me wonder...

I had no choice but to. I'm a human, after all..

And humans want to know, everything..

So, I put my mind to the test and focused on the bookshelf, my mind working itself back to when Naruto was here.

I was watching him when he got himself the book, off of this very shelf.

And now that I remembered, it was pretty.. high...

I looked up at the top right corner of the bookshelf and pouted.

Well... I didn't make captain of the cheerleading team for nothing...

So, with my super high agility, I launched my small body up into the air, the book I wanted growing closer and closer.

But, I had to be quick.

I reached my hands out and touched it but, before I could get it out of its slot, I fell back down, landing on my feet with a thud..

A loud thud which made me gasp, my body trembling...

Oh no..

I looked back towards the entrance and just stared down the hallway, my body trembling.

I didn't hear or see anything so, I calmed down, my heart beating fast within my chest..

Goodness..

I have to hurry..

So, I turned around and jumped, once again.

This time, I made sure I was already reaching out, so when the book came into my sight, I launched on it.

With both hands, I grabbed the book out of its slot and came tumbling down, my eyes widening..

Oh no!!

I fell flat on my back on the floor, making a even louder thud. But that didn't stop me from looking at the dusty book in my hands, my body sitting up.

I really have to hurry now...

I looked down at the book and read the title, my hand running over it slowly..

Uzumaki, Naruto

I smiled at my accomplishment.

Yes, I did it..

Quickly, without hesitation, I opened the very thick book but gasped to find dust everywhere.. I coughed at that, moving my hand up to cover my eyes a bit from it all.

I used my other hand to wipe away the dust, revealing the words on the page. But when I saw them, my eyes shot wide open...

Oh no.. What language is this?

I couldn't read anything which had me trembling. The words looked backwards across the page, a black ink marking everywhere. I can't possibly try to translate this without any knowledge of the unknown language which made me groan in frustration..

Why, Naruto why?

I sighed, flipping through it for the fun of it. I've went through all of that trouble trying to get it.. Maybe I can figure something out.

Every page in the book was filled from top to bottom with Naruto's weird, demon language, my eyes running over everything, still not able to read it.

I kept flipping until I got to a page which was a little to the end, my eyes widening immediately at what I saw.

It looked, like a drawing was stashed inside.

A drawing, of me...

That, was something I could see, so.. I quickly grabbed it, pulling up the incredibly well drawn replica of me.

It looked like I was... cheering, at a competition.

My eyes widened and in that moment, I remembered, what Naruto said to me, when he first saw me...

"You're, Hinata Hyuga right? The popular flyer on the cheerleading team? You're pretty good.. I watched you perform once."

That wasn't just some lie.. He found me, even before. And I didn't know a thing.

Oh, my god...

Just when I was about to put it back, an animalistic growl was made from behind my body which stopped me, right in my tracks, my body stiffening up to the point my bones seem to as well.

Oh god!!

I know, punishment will be given for this, now that I was found which made me even more frightened.

I looked back at the entrance and indeed saw Naruto there, he leaning on the wall that was there with his arms crossed.

He once again, wore the all black robe he had on before, his angry blue eyes directed towards me.

He looked from me, to the book held in my hands, his eyes narrowing extremely.

But he then, looked around, shaking his head. "Well this, doesn't look anything like a bathroom, Hinata. So tell me.. What are you doing, hmm?" He asked in all seriousness, his head lifted high.

His blonde hair was still a little matted from just being sleep, his robe not at all covering his strong masculine body.

But all of that, went unnoticed as I just stared into the eyes of the demon before me, my throat closing up making it hard to talk..

Oh god.. I can't believe this..

I'm.. caught...
