Naruto's P.O.V

My body trembled in pure agony as now, I sat on the floor of my library, my teeth gritted extremely.

Sweat was pouring rapidly down my tan face and hair as I just stared back at the dimmed candles in front of me, the ones I was using to message Hinata with previously.

My body let off numerous twitches from a pain I knew Hinata had to feel, on her, side. My eyes darkened extremely at that realization.

They, hurt her..

I growled loudly to myself, throwing one of my mighty fists out to punch at the floor. Nothing but anger took over my emotions and all I wanted to do, was express that anger.

I roared, my deep voice filling up the massive room around me. "Damn them! Damn those demon hunters! They will pay, for hurting you, Hinata. Every, last one of them. I will make sure of it. My revenge will, be served!" I yelled out in a crazed fit, my heart breaking. I was devastated. Yet again one of my plans has totally, gone to hell...

It was a good plan too...

It was one I learned only minutes ago which was something that was very helpful.

Useful even..

Looking through this library has really done me wonders. There are many, many key secrets that are hidden within this very room that could help guide me to my goal. Things that past demons have left behind.

Important things to study...

And I wasn't done looking.

But.. I lowered my blonde head, my body desperately calling out for rest, a break even. I was trying out rituals and spells for hours now. I've done nothing but use up my power, just totally abusing it. It was really taking a toil on my body but...

I won't stop...

I'm almost there..

I've contacted Hinata. I felt her. Hell, I heard her. She heard me. I almost reached her until... I punched the floor again, just deeply frustrated. I gritted my teeth.

"Damn you." I whispered out, my curses directed towards the mysterious hunter that drove my magic out of the hideout that Hinata was still, held hostage in..

I blew out a long deep breath, causing my blonde bangs to fly away from my angry, red glowing eyes..

I won't be able to contact Hinata anymore. At least not with that ritual again...

She'll have to contact me first..

That's, the only way.

She has to say, the words..

I cursed once more, my breathing growing slower and slower overtime. Until suddenly my vision began to tunnel, a darkness awakening to pull me under.

But with an aggressive shake of my head, it quickly left, leaving me to feel miserable and angry once again.

I blew out another deep and frustrated breath, my hands soon shooting out to push at the floor, giving me a boost. And from my actions, I was back on my feet to stand before my table of goodies, my red glowing eyes running over every last ingredient before me.

I smirked, soon giving my neck a crack. My mission was to find another ritual that could reach Hinata.. That could bring me, to her.

I won't stop until I do...

I won't give up. I won't rest. I won't back down. Not until Hinata's back within this mansion under my watch. And once she's here, I won't ever let her leave..

I won't be so nice anymore..

Just like I don't know the location of the hunter's hideout, they, don't know the location of my home.

And I would like to keep it that way..

Hinata is safe here, and her safety as well as her happiness is all that matters.

It's all that matter, to me...

So with that in mind, it gave me enough strength and energy to carry on with my task, occasionally shaking off the sleep that was trying to pull me under. I nodded, breathing lightly.

I'll save you, Hinata...

Hinata's P.O.V

A sharp gasp shot out of my lips as I awoke from a very deep slumber, one that hindered my mind from remembering anything beforehand. I blinked several times, my vision awfully distorted.

Wh-Wh-Where am I..

What's... going on...

My body felt warm, engulfed with something large and comfy, my back placed down upon...

A bed?

Several shuffles of paper as well as mumbles from people were made in the room as I just tried to grasp my situation. But the throbbing of my head wouldn't let me. I whimpered, giving my midnight blue head a shake..

"Mmm.." I moaned out groggily, voicing out my discomfort. But unfortunately, my actions only alerted the people in the room, bringing their attention onto me.

Three pairs of eyes shot my way from where I laid on a large bed, one that resembled a hospital bed.

One of the hunter's, a woman, held a clipboard with stacks of papers on them, from where she was previously writing on, her eyes occasionally scanning my stiff form.

But, Yahiko, the leader, gave my conscious body a long look, a small smile slowly creeping upon his pink lips.

"Ahh.. She's finally awake. I hope we didn't disturb you. And oh, don't be startled, child. You were only moved for the execution. We figured here would make you more comfortable instead of that empty and dull cell you were in. But enough of that. We won't get to the scary stuff just yet. I believe you still owe me some answers."

Yahiko's voice at the moment sounded so loud and yet...

So wonky..

My vision was also the same way. My lavender eyes were opened, but squinted, so I only saw a blurry picture of three individuals standing motionless by the foot of my bed.

But I did manage to whimper, for my mind picked up one word out of Yahiko's little "reassurance" speech...

Execution...

Oh god no..

And from just that word, it awoke my senses. I launched up in a flash, nothing but fear held on my face.My body was only reacting on its own, so it tried to scramble up, to fight, to leave, to run away. To do at least something.

But I soon found out, none of those options could be done for I was only thrown back down onto the bed, something strong, holding me back.

A loud rattle could be heard once my body fell back into white plush pillows, my breathing totally out of control.

The three hunters only stared, amused, by me as I sat up slightly to only look down at the restraints that held my limbs down, latching onto the bed posts where they were tied up securely.

The restraints almost look like belts, the same ones you would see at a mental asylum, when used to hold down a hostile patient. But this particular kind, were a brown color, and held crosses on them.

And they were everywhere.

Across my waist, wrapped around both of my wrists and also, around my legs. I was..

Trapped...

Tears immediately started to form within my hooded lavender eyes, my world instantly crashing down on me. Realization never hit so hard as I lay devastated within the bed I was chained to, the bed I was forced to die in, many things rushing back to me which only hurt me more.

I cried, sobbed and weeped, once again feeling sorrowful, fearful and downright hurt.
The emotions I felt at the moment were breathtaking, and not in a good way either. I felt like I could never catch my breath. I felt like I couldn't...

Breathe...

I hate this..

I hate this so damn much...

My cries were the only sound that was heard within the dull white room, a room that was awfully bright and filled with nothing but hospital based things.It all felt unreal.

Like a..

Dream...

Yahiko let out a sigh as he watched me just cry my heart and soul out, my body covered completely within the white sheets the large bed provided.

The eyes that were staring back at me squinted, the other male in the room letting out a snicker upon the sight of my pain. That, made me cry even harder.

Hiccups were starting to cut through the many cries I screamed out, my body trembling massively from it all.

Hidan, the male that snickered just seconds ago, clicked his tongue, just relishing in the moment in which that revealed that I, was suffering. Through blurry, teary eyes, I then saw the silver haired male pout, playfully.

"Aww. Seems someone can't take the consequences for her sins well. Sorry, but you need to pay up, darling. Falling in love with a demon will get you no place good. Especially.. with him..."

His voice was laced with venom and hate, it acting as a drill which desperately tried to weave its way into my skull but I only shook my head, ignoring it. The love I had for Naruto was just simply too strong. It's taken root, deep within my young, beating heart and nothing...

Absolutely nothing...

Will make me feel otherwise. So his words, as well as, Yahiko's, words mean nothing.

I shook my head once again, just allowing leftover tears to roll down my pale cheeks, my lavender eyes now fixated fully on the three hunters.

I couldn't see them clearly through all my tears but at the moment I could care less about that.

I wanted to speak my mind before they go about their plans, anger taking over me. I gritted my teeth, gripping the sheets with my fingers which were peeking from the binds that held me down.

"I, will not listen to a single word from you people. I don't care for it. Yes, Naruto's a demon. Yes, Naruto has caused havoc on this earth but..."

I lowered my head, taking a break to let out a few whimpers. But it didn't take me long to collect myself for I soon whipped my head back up to face the silent hunters, once again.

"He, is different, with me. He's given me a feeling that no one has ever done. He's done it because he loves me. There was no price. There were no consequences. Only pure unconditional love in which he showed me. He only wants to live and that's it. But, I must admit... Yes, he has hurt me but I believe it's because of people like you. You, took away his family. Condemned him to face centuries alone and then later, sentenced him to a fate worse than death. So yes.. I believe that will make anyone go mad. So he didn't hurt me because he genuinely wanted to. He's working off instincts, hurt and paranoia. But you people... you don't care for anyone.. You are now, once again taking it upon yourself to do whatever the hell you want to. You are sentencing me, a teenager to death for a problem I have absolutely no power to control. I had my whole life ahead of me. But you, not Naruto, you people, are the ones that have taken it away from me. So yes, that is why I will never listen to you. I will never tell you anything. Never."

Every sentence I said at this very moment was done in screams and in a fit of anger, a feeling I have never felt in my entire life.

My soul was fighting.

I was angry. Angry at my situation. Angry at the people that now stared back at me. And angry, at how helpless I am.

There was nothing I could do. I had to face it. If Naruto doesn't find me soon, these people will take my life and soon, his.

It, will be over..

For the both of us...

We will be ripped apart forever.

I will never see him again...

My voice bounced off of the four walls that surrounded me, a small white door positioned behind the three stunned hunters.

Tayuya and Hidan's mouth was dropped wide open, nothing but disbelief held in both of their eyes. But Yahiko, stared back at me sadly, his eyebrows furrowed, revealing...

Pity...

He let out yet another sigh but this one, held many emotions behind it, ones that calmed me a little.

I lowered my risen shoulders and just watched as the male passed the two speechless hunters and instead slowly stepped over to my side.

He looked down at me while I looked back up at him, revealing my extremely puffy eyes, my cheeks a bright red from all the salty tears that slid down them previously.

He tilted his head, putting up a pout. "Child... I'm afraid you are just too lost, for your own good. If you won't listen to my words, or answer the questions I so desperately want then... I will have to turn to Plan B and rush, the execution. I'm sorry, but you have forced my hand." He whispered down at me, soon bringing one hand down to clutch my arm tightly, my teary eyes widening at the sound of his words.

He narrowed his own brown ones, looking me over, one last time. "It was nice meeting you, Hinata. You are a smart girl, one I know could've shined bright but... Evil, is in this world and can latch onto anyone. And unfortunately, it found you and took you in as it's very own, teaching you a wrong disguised as a right. But, it's not your fault. And I will show you that, Hinata.. You will, be forgiven... But, you must pass one, final test, first..."

And with that, the orange haired leader moved his hand away from mines to only press a button found on the collar of his jacket, alerting more hunters.

Immediately after he said those heart shattering words, many other people ran into the room, bursting open the door which made my frail body jump. I cried out loudly as I eyed the things they were holding...

IV Bags..

Machines...

Needles...

And...

Substances in two different colors..

One was white. And another was a light green color, one that scared me the most.

My body was growing jittery the closer the newcomingers were getting, soon their hands finding their way onto my body. I immediately screamed because of it, wiggling my bound arms to try to fight against their ministrictians but, they were simply too strong.

So the machines were placed down, the IV system was positioned and the bags of colorful substances were held close to my body.

Yahiko frowned as I struggled and fought for my life but soon stepped away from my bed altogether, reclaiming his position beside the two hunters that were here from the beginning, allowing the process to officially start.

A process that was inevitable for me.

A machine that resembled a computer was placed down on the left side of my bed where a young woman tapped viciously on, her eyes trained on the images on the screen.

Another hunter was busy applying the liquids to the IV bags, which was two in total. Another was rounding the bed to only prep my arms for the needles, my frantic eyes looking all around at them as they worked and went about. I didn't know what the hell they were doing or planning.

Everything's happening so fast!

I just wanted to scream. And I did once the male made it to my side and grabbed my right arm, in a way that wasn't gentle. He pulled it up slightly to only move back my gown, revealing the spot where the inside of my elbow was located, a place where IV's usually go.

I sobbed, shaking my head as the brown haired male reached over my bound body to do the same to my other arm, prepping me for the execution.

I shook my head once more, trying my best to make eye contact with the male but he simply ignored me, he proceeding on with his task in silence.

"Please. Please don't do this. I want to live. Please." I pleaded desperately but it fell on death ears, living me in a weeping mess.

A constant sound of keys tapping were heard in the room as the woman on the weirdly technical computer typed, soon grabbing something that was attached to the device. I watched her intently with my teary lavender eyes, her body growing closer which caused the objects in her hand to become clear. I squinted my eyes.

Heart beat sensors...

Wh-What?

Confusion was all I felt at the moment as the woman descended on me while holding three strings. Two were long cords with sticky pads on the ends, while the other one ended with a black ring attached, something that could probably fit on my finger. And that's, where it went once the huntress made it beside my bed, her own fingers pulling the ring onto my pointer finger on my left hand, the contraption snapping gently onto the chosen digit.

And after, silently as ever, the blonde woman turned and placed the two sticky pads on both sides of my temples, soon adding pressure to them with her fingers.

Immediately, the pads stuck like glue to my head, becoming one with my brain almost.

I breathed shakily as I saw and felt the process unfold before me, my lavender eyes moving back to the IV bags.

But they widened when I saw two hunters now pulling the stands close where the two IV's were set on.

One male pulled the white substance to the left side of me. And the other one with the green substance was pushed to the right side of me, my head switching back and forth to see the movement of the two hunters.

I cried in fear, my heart pounding severely within my chest. It was pounding so hard and fast, I felt it in my throat, my head, my toes...

Everywhere!

I was scared out of my mind as six different hunters rounded up the things that will be used to kill me, my eyes constantly studying everything. But I just couldn't figure out anything.

I don't know their plans...

I snapped my head towards Yahiko at that, narrowing my eyes while I was at it.

"Wh-What is, all of this?" I spat out loudly, eyeing him as he stood motionless in his spot, just watching. His eyes turned away from his hunters to instead looked down at my fearful self, his head tilting at the sound of my voice.

His hands were folded behind him, in a very formal way, his eyes still holding a look of pity. He then, clicked his tongue. "Well darling... I have planned this moment for a while now. I thought about, everything. I thought about your death and how it should rightfully be played out. I do now know, that anything that happens to you, happens to Naruto so... since you're innocent I chose to use poison, to take your life. But don't worry, you won't feel a thing because..."

I watched with teary eyes as he pointed to the IV with the white liquid inside, my head hesitantly turning to look at it.

He then pressed his lips firmly together, soon pulling his hand down so it could rejoin the other one behind his back. "In that bag you see on the left side of you, holds Nano Melatonin, which is a drug that will put you in a deep sleep, hindering you from feeling the effects of the deadly poison. But Naruto, on the other hand.. will feel every drop of poison that enters your body, your bloodstream and soon your heart. He will suffer, the entire time until you eventually die. And then, he will too. This, will then, be all over." He explained deeply with nothing but seriousness in his brown orbs, his words punching the life out of my soul.

I shook my head pleadingly, the fear in my heart only growing more and more, almost to an unbearable rate now.

"Please no. Don't do this please. I beg of you!"

But again I was ignored, leaving me broken in my spot. But, all the while the hunter's around me continued to work, my body still remaining strapped down to the large bed I was forced to lie snuggled in.

But as seconds and minutes passed another question manifested itself within my head, a question that I deeply wanted answered.

My eyes slowly fell back onto Yahiko's again, a small curiousness held in them. I let out a sniff, a low whimper also passing my lips.

"S-S-So you're gonna kill me with poison so why, are the pads necessary? Why that thing?" I snapped, nodding my head over at the computer beside me, also mentioning the sticky pads that were stuck to my head.

But immediately when I asked the question, Yahiko shook it off, only giving me a short answer. "Oh you'll see, very soon, dear." He responded back but then turned back to his hunters, giving them nods. "Do it. It's time now." He ordered, giving them the final say to then, insert the two needles inside of my arms so the two liquids can have access, to my body.

I gulped numerous times at that, my heart skipping several beats.

No this can't be happening...

It can't!

But it was. A soft hand slowly pulled my body back so I was lying fully down, two more hands grabbing a hold of both of my arms to see it better.

And not a second later, I felt sharp pains of the needles inserted inside of my two pale limbs, sticking into my veins, allowing the liquids inside of my body. I sobbed at the pain I felt, a realization hitting me.

I'm... going to die....

They've won.

The needles were placed and the liquids were quickly rushing through tubes to soon enter into my flesh, nothing but eyes rooted on me now.

A silence was settled over the whole room as the liquids began to serge through my body, including the poison.

The whole situation was just terrifying as I laid within a large bed with hunters in red and black staring down at me, witnessing how the drugs entered my body swiftly, just like they had wanted.

But soon after, just as Yahiko had once said, my body began to feel woozy.

Terribly woozy...

No matter how much I tried to fight the feeling, I just couldn't. So, it wasn't long before my eyes grew too heavy for me to control, too heavy for me to resist.

So inevitably, the scary cloud of darkness took me under and I fell, into a deep sleep.. A sleep I won't, recover from...

***

I woke up with a loud gasp, my body immediately snapping itself up to a sitting position from where I was lying unconscious previously.

My lavender eyes blinked, just looking around at my new surroundings... I whimpered, growing confused..

W-Wait...

What's going on...

At the moment, I no longer was trapped within the room with all the demon hunters. I was no longer in bed, strapped to two IV's. I was far away from that place. I was...

Breathing....

Fully, awake...

I blinked rapidly at that, just confused. But a part of me felt, relieved too.

A smile crept up on my face at that and I immediately went to pick my body up to stand, the gown that I wore previously still hugging at my curves in a way that made me feel comfortable.

But, as soon as I made movement, a voice arose shortly after, one that I knew all too well...

"Hinata..."

Once I heard the deep, seductive but masculine voice call out my name, my whole entire body froze like ice, my eyes shooting wide open. My heart skipped several beats but not out of fear but in...

Joy...

Tears started to form within my eyes and suddenly, I found myself running towards the voice who called out for me non stop...

"Hinata.."

I cried in nothing but happiness as I ran through darkness and straight towards my lover's voice, the person I so desperately wanted to see. To hold. To be with again.

Oh Naruto!

He's here!

He's finally here!

Nothing else mattered at the moment. I didn't care about anything else but only Naruto's voice.

So as I ran, I completely shut out my surroundings, ignoring every part of it..

Missing important details...

Every step of the way, an intense burst of fire lit up the sides of the red aisle I ran down, it working straight towards a large but empty room, one that finally held...

My Naruto...

The fire continued to burst high into the air as I ran along but once I finally stepped foot into the room and locked eyes on the demonic beast, the fire simmered down and Naruto, was then, revealed.

But he looked a little different.

Siting tall within a throne chair at the end of the red aisle sat Naruto, his body and face clear as day, brimming with perfection.

A smirk was held on those beautiful crafted lips of his, his tan skin glowing brightly as he sat back within his throne chair.

Large black armor could be seen attached to his tall and muscular frame, a black and golden designer crown held on the top of his shaggy blonde hair, revealing his high status.

His eyes were crimson which stared deep within my soul as I stood within his chambers, darkness engulfing everything else.

It seemed like the spotlight was only on me, and him, damning the rest of the room. But I paid that little detail no mind and only began to walk forward, to get a closer look at the sexy demonic male before me, his eyes reeling me in. I let out a whimper, just happy to see him in front of me again.

I, had a major scare back there...

I thought I was going to die and...

I shook my head at my thoughts...

Naruto's here now and that's all that matters.

So I giggled joyfully, my lavender eyes watching as the tan male's lips grew wider into a full smile, one that sent shivers down my spine.

"N-Naruto..." I whispered out his name which left my lips to soon enter into his highly keen ears making the demon hum in pure delight.

He let out a snicker from where he sat back into his grand chair, his eyes never straying from my happy form. He then smiled, nodding his head at me.

"Why hello, little one..."
