Hinata's P.O.V

Time Skip: Competition Day

Days and days went by and my cheer competition was at my doorstep in no time, bringing extreme...

Anxiety...

This competition didn't feel like any regular one. It felt...

Strange...

Dark..

Like something, was going to happen. But, I pushed all that behind me.

Now, standing on the cheer mat in my gym wear, I stared back at my teacher who nodded at me, signaling for me, as the captain to start the whole cheer. I blew out a deep breath, and began moving and also, chanting.

"Go! You can do it. Let's get to it! To it! Go!"

I shouted out loud and proud, my mind blocking out the serious blue eyes that stared at me from behind, my body steady doing the moves I was instructed to do.

I moved my arms left and then right, up and then down, using my hips to move towards the same direction as my arms did.

The other girls stood patiently beside me as they waited for me to finish the start of our cheer.

Soon I ended everything with a hand on my hip, rocking my hips to the fallen beat.

As soon as I did that though, it signaled the other girls to join and they repeated what I did, everyone chanting and moving along to the beat which Tsunade kept.

She smiled at the sight of us as we hit every move perfectly, the chants all loud and well spoken.

Even a special someone smirked at my performance, his body leaning forward to watch me better.

He licked his lips, deeply liking what he saw. "Mmm... That's my girl." He whispered from where he sat as I did all the moves perfectly as the team captain. It didn't take long for us to move to the last thing we needed for competition.

The stunts..

I blew out a deep breath and steadied myself, quickly moving into formation..

Two more girls joined me in the center of the mat, my feet taking me behind them. With two hands, I placed them down on their shoulders, their arms raising to soon hold me up.

Then, two more girls came to stand in front and behind me, my body soon lifted up by the two bases.

I gasped by that but quickly gained my composure, my body now in the hands of two girls. Naruto's eyes narrowed at the sight of us but didn't dare interrupt, my body high up in the air. The world around me grew higher, but...

It was nothing I wasn't used to.

So, I moved up and stood tall, a huge smile coming upon my face.

I raised one hand and threw it up into the air, balling it into a fist. The other girls were doing their own cheers on the side but I, was supposed to pull the final stunt...

Which..

I've done, before...

I blew out a deep breath before I nodded down at the girls, giving them a signal to throw me up. They smiled and did, just that.

"1.."

"2.."

"3!"

On the count of three I was tossed high up into the air which I then turned my body expertly, moving fast to do a side flip. And I did with a whoosh, soon falling back down into the awaiting girls hands.

As soon as I did, everyone cheered which instantly brought me joy.

Captain Tsuande clapped for me as I was placed down on my feet by my teammates, Ino and Sakura rushing to my side.

They both smiled at me and rubbed my shoulders, praising me. "Oh my gosh! You, are amazing, Hinata. Even in a time like this you can make us all look so wonderful." Ino cheered out which Sakura nodded frantically to, agreeing as well. I sent them both a smile, liking their compliments a lot.

I didn't put much effort into it...

I know our competition is today but... Things just haven't been the same.

There's more important stuff going on now, and my interest is wearing.

But, my smile never wavered.

I lied to all, knowing my life has been forever, changed..

-Later-
2 Hours Until Competition
6:30

Now at Naruto's house, I quickly got dressed into my cheer uniform, my eyes staring deeply within the bedroom mirror.

I breathed shakily and dipped my makeup brush into the foundation under me, a dresser there with all of my things on top.

Naruto sat behind me on his bed and just stared at me as I got ready, his arm turning to get a look at his watch.

He clicked his tongue. "Sweetheart... You look wonderful. You don't need such things as makeup. The clock's ticking after all." He spoke and stood up, slowly moving over to me which made me tense up, my hands clutching the end of my brush tighter.

He stepped up beside me and looked at all of my stuff, turning to look at my face. So far I've done a light foundation to my whole face to get it to pop, a purple and yellow mascara on my eyelids, a regular look for my competition.

Naruto pulled one of his hands down to cup my chin, my head tilted up for him to see.

He hummed, looking me over. "Hmm.. Nevermind." He whispered out slyly which made me bite my lip, my head turning towards the mirror once more.

I stared back at myself and grimaced, my chin still held in his hand. "Wh-What? Does it look bad? I'm not really good with all of this.. makeup stuff.. I only put it on once in a blue moon." I explained with a sigh, my body holding a tremor which Naruto picked up immediately.

He tilted his head at me, moving a strand of midnight blue hair behind my ear. "Oh you humans and your insecurities. You look beautiful... Yummy even. Heh, I'm starting to grow a little jealous seeing you're going out like that." He growled out and began to move his free hand down to my short skirt, rubbing his nails against my revealed thighs.

I shuddered at that but shook my head, turning back to resume my work. "No Naruto.. You can't, stop me. I've been doing this way before you even came, into my life." I grumbled out, moving over to grab the red, rosy lipstick in front of me, my fingers twisting the cap to open it.

Naruto snickered at my previous response but moved behind me, leaning forward so his crotch could meet my ass.

I sighed at that, stopping my actions for a moment. "Naruto.. Please, knock it off. I don't have much time left." I warned and moved away from him causing our bodies to part, blue eyes rolling at that.

"Fine, then. But I'll have you know, I'm, in your life now which means things change, little one." He purred but once again regained his spot behind me, his body leaning over me again.

He moved my hair back and pulled one hand around my waist, his lips soon joining my neck. I bit my lip at that, holding back my moans.

He smirked against my neck, pampering me with kisses while rutting his hips constantly against my bottom. "Mmm.. I just can't get enough of you, my sexy little cheerleader. You did so good today, and I know you'll do even better tonight." He whispered against my ear, moving to snip it with his teeth.

I hummed at that, and, at his words, my free hand fell down to caress his arm which was wrapped around my waist still.

I sighed. "Th-Thank you, Naruto.. Really." I whispered out softly which earned me a satisfied growl, his large hand moving down to smack my ass.

I gasped at that, my body jolting in pain from his actions which Naruto chuckled to. "You're welcome. But don't let me stop you. Doll up. Let's get this over with.. so I can get you back into my bed." He purred which made me blush, my hand moving to elbow him lightly in the chest.

"Naruto!"

I chastised which made him laugh, his mouth moving to gobble into my neck playfully.

I pulled away slightly from the tickling feeling that arose from his playful action but he soon left me alone to do his own thing, a relieved sigh escaping my lips at that.

Thank god..

I smiled and turned back to the mirror in front of me, smiling even bigger at what I saw..

Now.. To finish up...

-A Few Minutes Later-

Naruto's P.O.V

For Hinata's happiness, I managed to retrieve everything she wanted to get ready with for her big day.

Including, make up, her cheer uniform, her pom poms, shoes everything...

And don't fucking ask how I got it.

I just got it and now.. Hinata looks, absolutely beautiful.

Soon we exited my mansion and I turned to lock the door, also keeping my eyes on the young girl who was running towards the open garage.

She turned around, signaling me over frantically. "Come on, come on, come on! You gotta hurry, Naruto." She squealed out in excitement, her appearance completely brightening up the world around her.

Even, in the night.

I chuckled at that, shoving my keys into my black jeans, my school clothes still on my body. "Alright, little one. I'm going. Just quit with the running. I don't want you hurt." I spat possessively as I slowly made my way over to her, her excitement never dissipating.

She shook my words off, soon grabbing my hand and guiding me forward. "Okay, okay. I'm just excited! Little nervous but still.. I can't wait to get there." She squealed out which I rolled my eyes to, just allowing her to drag me on to my car down the sidewalk that was there.

I looked at her, my blue eyes slowly trailing her form. It seems I never get tired of just, staring at her.

Her long midnight blue hair was pulled up into a mid bun, completely away from her face..

Her makeup colors matched well with her uniform which was purple and yellow, the colors blending in on both super well. Her skirt was very short which I hated the most but hey..

It's one night..

One itty, bitty night...

And then after...

I'll take her back here and rip off that god forsaken skirt. She's revealing things my eyes should only see. Because of course...

She's all mine now.

Ooh.. I just can't wait until tonight.

It didn't take long for us to soon enter into the lightened garage where my car was located, Hinata running over to the driver's seat.

I narrowed my eyes at that, watching as she turned to me with a pout. "Please.. Can I drive myself there? I always do.. So.."

But before she could finish I pointed harshly to the passenger side, giving her a direct message that her request, wasn't going to be fulfilled. I smirked when she frowned.

Selfish.. I know..

But I don't care...

I'm.. in control now..

I watched as she obediently let go of the driver's door and rounded the car, her skirt flapping in the small wind that followed her.

I sighed and moved toward the driver's seat, grabbing the door and flinging it open. Once I had access to the inside, I flopped down onto the seat that was there, watching as Hinata did the same on the other side, her little pout still present.

I tilted my head at that, cooing. "Aww.. It's okay, my darling. I did say now that I'm in your life... things change, right?" I teased with a wink nudging her arm with my elbow, just like she did to me.

But she shook her head at my playful gesture, then lowering it. "Can we please, just... go?" She whispered out, clearly not taking my words as amusing.

I raised an eyebrow at that but sighed, turning back into my seat. "Fine. Be that way." I only spoke but I didn't start the car right away.

Instead, I moved over the driver's seat and grabbed the purple pom poms in the back seat, my body completely bent from my action.

Hinata looked at me wide eyed but smiled once I showed her what I was doing, my hands flinging the annoying little balls her way... "Here. I think you might need those." I said with a nod down at them, my hands grabbing out my keys in my jeans.

Soon I put them inside the key ignition and started the car, Hinata steadily playing with her pom poms.

She wiggled them causing them to rattle constantly, my eyes peeking at her as she practiced some of her cheers to herself..

Heh.. Cute..

I chuckled at that, finally driving out of the parking lot and soon down the road, we now on the way, to Hinata's major, event...

Ino's P.O.V

I bit my lip nervously as I eyed the door to our practice room, majority of the girls here causing the room to break out in a ruckus.

Everyone, was talking.

I sighed but stopped when Sakura bumped my elbow, trying to cheer me up. I turned to her, sending her a small smile.

She smiled too. "It's okay, Ino. She's coming.. I know it. She has to." She encouraged me, rubbing my back while she was at.

But I couldn't help but doubt still.

Nothing, was the same anymore. Hinata may go to school now but I've learned that she has to earn that. She has to do so much for that damn demon to be in order to do anything.

It's just not fair..

I want her to have her freedom back.

She deserves it.

Cheerleading is her talent, her passion, and for that demon to come in and take it away from her is so cruel.

I whimpered, lowering my head from where I sat on the clean, wooden floor of the room our school occupied for us in the cheer building.

My blonde hair was done up into a high ponytail, bright purple and yellow makeup added to my face for this day.

Everyone wore matching uniforms, dressed in purple and yellow which blended well from top to bottom, sparkles added to the end of our skirts.

White tennis was on our shoes to match.

Sakura was dressed the same way.. All of us were.

I shook my head, rubbing my temples to ease the tension. "No.. We never know with that demon around, Sakura. It's gonna be a damn miracle if she comes here." I scoffed out in nothing but frustration, shaking my head in defeat.

Let's face it... She'll never come..

But suddenly, Sakura gasped and patted me rapidly, getting my attention. "You're wrong. Look! She's here." She whispered out which made me turn there quickly, my eyes widening to see Hinata bursting through the doors where we were located in, her eyes instantly locking on us.

She smiled wide and ran towards us with her pom poms in hand, the demon bastard nowhere in sight. "Girls, hey!" She yelled out and rushed over to us, alerting the other girls who cheered loudly to see her here.

"Ahh!! It's Hinata!!"

"We're gonna win for sure!"

"Yayy!"

Captain Tsuande smiled at the sight of her as well, turning her attention onto her attendance, moving to mark her name off.

"Good.. Just three people left." She whispered to herself but then turned towards us, clearing her throat.

"Alright, ladies! We both have 10 more minutes left to spare. Afterwards we'll practice until it's our turn to perform." She explained with a nod, all girls looking towards her, taking in the information she wanted to give us. Hinata listened but turned to sit beside us, immediately giving us heartfelt hugs, squeezing the life out of each of us.Which we gladly gave back the same love.

I smiled widely, my heart overjoyed now. "Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you were able to make it." I exclaimed happily which made her giggle, Sakura moving to hug her as well.

Hinata hummed. "Oh course I could make it. Nothing .. can stop me from this. I won't let anything keep me from cheering with you, both." She responded back with a cheeky grin, soon backing away to smile at the both of us.

We both cooed at her speech but before we could say anything, more girls began to crowd Hinata, telling her how happy they were to see her here.

We both watched all the happy smiles that came upon her face, our hearts warming at the sight of them all.

Hm.. Maybe tonight, is gonna go better, then I thought....

Naruto's P.O.V

Night fell as I stood in line at a little concession stand outside the cheer building, my hunger not at all on my side today.

Ooh, lucky me..

I sighed and rubbed my eyes, peeking through them to check out the many people that littered the stands to the field the cheerleaders will soon perform on.

And speaking of performing. I couldn't wait, to see, little one.

I've heard big things about her after all...

Unfortunately, I had to split up from her. It would be wrong of me to stay with her the whole damn time.

Even though I fucking want to.

But.. It doesn't matter.

After this is over, she'll be right by my side again. I smirked at that but moved forward in the line of humans, my blue eyes eyeing them hungrily.

Ooh.. They look so yummy..

But, I promise myself I'll behave today, for Hinata. So, I'll try not, to eat anyone.

Key word.. Try..

So my plan is to stuff down as much human food as I can until this stupid, kiddy event is over.

And then.. I'll hunt for real food.

I licked my lips but moved up one more time, now my turn to order. I took a look at the menu and grimaced at what I saw.

Candy- $1.50
Candy Apple- $1.25
Popcorn- $3.50
2 Slices of Pizza- $5.00
Pretzel- $2.00
Hotdog- $3.00
Chips- $1.50
Soda- $1.75
Bottled Water- $1.00

I wrinkled my nose at all the choices, my hand falling down to my now, queasy stomach..

Shit.. Is that really what humans like?

Everything sounds disgusting..

But no matter, I'll make it work. The young blonde haired teenager in front of me looked at me with a smile. "Hi sir. What would you like?" She asked politely on which I hummed, my blue eyes switching back to the menu.

I clicked my tongue.

If I'm eating human food, I need something authentic and rich in flavor.

Something strong or spicy..

And the only thing that's catching my eye is popcorn and soda...

I sighed, reaching in for my wallet to pay with. I looked back at the girl, my face blank as ever. "Alright, sweetheart.. I'll have two bags of buttery popcorn and a large pop. Make sure the bag of popcorn is the biggest one you got and also filled, with a lot, of flavor." I ordered with a serious nod, which the young girl nodded slowly to.

She turned towards her computer and typed on it a few times, her brown irises meeting mines afterwards. "Alright, sir. That'll be $15." She informed which I nodded to, my eyes catching her turn around to tell another worker my order.

Soon the same worker turned and proceeded on scooping up two super sized bags of popcorn for me, another worker moving to make my fizzy dark drink.

Meanwhile, I pulled out the correct money I needed for my snack and gave it to the young lady which she gladly took. "Alrighty. Your snack should be right up." She spoke once more which I only nodded blankly to, my eyes suddenly wandering.

But at that moment, I saw a team of cheerleaders in red on the field performing for three judges, my eyes narrowing on them...

Heh.. I bet they're no match for little one's team.

I smirked but I snapped my attention back on the workers and saw that my little order was ready, my hands slowly reaching out for the bags of popcorn that was in front of me.

But I stopped, my nose wrinkling up in disgust as I caught sight of them. The young woman frowned at my look. "Um... Is something wrong?" She asked on which I growled, stepping up close to identify the plain looking popcorn..

Ugh..

Unacceptable...

I shook my head, pointing at the bag with a scowl. "Listen, sweetheart. I precisely said, buttery, popcorn. This, doesn't look like anything I've said. I'm fucking starving here." I gritted out which caused her eyes to widen, my tone of voice striking fear inside of her heart.

She bowed at me, gulping. "I-I-I'm so sorry, sir. I'll do that in a flash." She informed and scurried off to add more, than enough butter to both of my bags, my hands fetching my drink and straw.

I nodded at that, soon retrieving the two bags of popcorn.

But before I left, I smiled reassuringly at the young woman, also winking which made her blush. I chuckled at that and moved out of line, my face falling to a blank one again.

Little did she know... I was planning on eating her..

But popcorn will do...

For now...

I lowered my head a little and ate what I could, seeing my hands were occupied. I ignored the weird looks that shot my way and just gobbled what I could to feed the painful ache in my side, my control over myself slipping.

But.. I held it together the best I could and slowly made my way to the top of the stands, making sure I was away from all humans, not knowing the eyes that tracked me, the whole entire time.

"You want to start the plan now..."

"Hell, yeah..."

Hinata's P.O.V

A lot of time has passed and a lot of practice has been done but now, it was almost time for us to perform.

I stood nervously in the front of the line while holding my pom poms, my heart beating fast. I was nervous but at the same time excited.

This, is my chance...

I can finally, be normal again. I can finally do the thing I loved. I felt..

Good...

3 teams already performed and had been judged. But they haven't been told their scores yet so...

We'll have to wait too..

I blew out a deep breath, steadying myself. Suddenly, Captain Tsuande came up to the front of the line, looking at all of us from where we was lined up.

She smiled big and wide, eyeing all of us dressed up beautifully. But she wore something beautiful as well.

She wore a long, sparkly purple dress which had a slit at the bottom of it which showed off her shiny, pale legs and bright matching high heels.

Her blonde hair was left to hang down by her huge breasts, her brown orbs holding pride and love in them.

She cooed. "Aww, just look at all of my girls. I know, tonight will not, be a struggle for any of you. You girls are talented and have worked extremely hard for this. So I know without a doubt we'll walk home with the 1st place trophy. So when you go out there, I want you to walk with your head up, chest high and..."

We all waited with smiles as she trailed the last word off, Captain holding a huge smile on her face.

She giggled. "And, don't, forget, to smile.." She finally said which we all did, my heart beating faster.

I blew out another deep breath, suddenly picking up a man in black enter the room to whisper to us.

He turned to Tsunade and nodded. "It's time.. The judges are ready for you all." He spoke in a hushed whisper but suddenly he flashed his eyes onto me, my own eyes widening.

It was quick but I could tell he... smirked at me. But as soon as I saw it, he left, leaving me completely dumbfounded.

What was that?

I shook my head, refocusing.

Whatever it was...

I won't, let it affect, this night...

***

Quickly, we were escorted down a long hallway where two huge double doors awaited us at the end, my ears picking up many voices behind it. I shuddered but kept, my smile...

This is it!

I didn't know how to feel about it.

Nervous... that Naruto's here.

Worried, because of that smirking man just a while ago. Or excited, because this, will no doubt bring me immense joy...

I need to give this my all...

I won't let nothing, stop me.

Nothing at all...

So with my pom poms rooted at my hips, I walked forward with light steps, leading the whole line of cheerleaders in front of the door where we soon stopped.

The man from before was there again and I took the time to examine him. He had weird, grey hair, which was pushed all the way back as if it was gelled down.

His eyes were also strange looking cause they were a dark purple, but sometimes, looked black.

God.. Weird..

But I stayed perfectly still and quiet as my coach talked with him again, he moving to open the door for us. "Alright. There you are." He spoke one last time before Captain Tsunade moved to walk in front, nodding at all of us.

"Alright ladies, it's time." She whispered and moved to take the lead, guiding me out of the door and into the field, my heart racing.

Oh gosh!

As soon as we headed onto the field, I started to feel at ease, my eyes immediately shooting over to the crowd of people in search of anyone..

Familiar...

At first, I only saw unfamiliar faces cheering, until I spotted Temari who waved excitedly for us in the stands, a huge smile creeping on my face.

But I didn't stop my walking.

I waved my pom poms at her and kept following Captain Tsunade who led us in the middle of the field for everyone to see, lights shown on everyone, giving us all the spotlight.

But I continued to look, my eyes scaning the crowd once more. Soon I spotted more, familiar faces. I saw a couple of people from school but also...

My eyes widen, tears forming...

F-F-Father?

My father sat in the middle of the stands beside Hanabi, a huge smile on both of their faces. I whimpered at the sight of seeing them again.

God.. It's been weeks..

Maybe even months...

Since the last time I've even seeb them. I can't believe they came for me.

But quickly, I pulled myself together and sniffed back up my tears, watching out for my makeup.

I can't ruin it..

Soon our coach stopped us right in the middle of three people sitting in chairs, a table placed in front of them close to stands.

There were two women but only a single male, their eyes very serious as they locked on all of us.

Papers of some kind were scattered about on top of the tables, all of us slowly moving to get in formation.

I stepped up a bit, living to stand directly in front of them while the other girls were lined up in rows behind me, small spaces left open in between them.

And at that moment, I looked up into the stands and locked eyes with blue, the sexy male sending me a grin. But then, he whispered...

"Go get them, little one."

And I did, turning to the judges who now waited patiently for me, to start...

Temari's P.O.V

I clapped loudly for Hinata, Sakura and Temari, my eyes peeled on those three as they begin to perform on the field..

And as soon as Hinata begin to countdown, there was nothing but perfection..

"Five, six, five six, ready go!"

I watched as Hinata began to move, chanting the first chant they all learned loudly for everyone to hear.

A huge smile was present on her cheeks as her body swayed like water, her pom poms shimmering wildly.

"Rock, rock, whoo you rock!"

Her voice held nothing but confidence as she chanted alone, everyone standing perfectly still beside her. I smiled widely at that, moving my hand inside the bag of chips I had.

You go, Hinata!

And as soon as she finished, the other girls joined and repeated the cheer with her who did it once again. Overall they did three cheers and stunts..

And the stunts were something, to remember...

Hinata's P.O.V

I was proud of myself to say the least, a smile present on my face the whole performance. The crowd was cheering for all of us as well as my friends and family but also...

Naruto...

His eyes were lightened as I moved and just performed flawlessly for everyone, his tongue licking at his lips.

We still had ways to go, so I didn't quit my enthusiasm.

Now last.. The stunts...

So quickly, I worked myself back into the middle along with my usual stunt team, setting my pom poms behind them.

Quickly, my hands found the two bases shoulders, the two other girls moving to stand as my back up.

I grabbed onto the two girl's shoulders firmly and holsted myself up on top of them, watching as they held onto my legs tightly.

The other cheerleaders still cheered a fourth cheer as I slowly rose high up into the air, immediately starting my cheer of claps and fist pumping.

Soon though the bases begin to steady me, rocking me up and down for looks but to me, it was a warning. So I quickly steadied myself for my intense flip.

Alright, here goes..

Captain Tsunade stood on the sidelines and watched us as I began to do the final thing we needed.

But just as the countdown started and hit one, a loud intense bang was heard from the stands, but it was already too late.

The girls hauled me up into the air where I gasped, my lavender eyes catching weird activity in the stands where Naruto, sat alone...

And that, just proved me right...

Something dark, occurred tonight, that will haunt all of us, forever...
