Broken in the Way of Love

Chapter 2: The Party and the Lost Love

“Spring is drawing near… I want her, need her - I crave for her!Only HER!!Where is she? Where is my mate!?! Heh- if they think I will remain in this wimpy human body, this village is in for a rude awakening… however, this boy may yet prove to be useful…”

 

Naruto awoke wit a start, “…a mate? What a weird dream…” he mumbled as he went back to sleep.

 

Later That Day:

 

“Happy Birthday!!” “Congratulations on another year!!” There were cheers all around - coming from all his friends. The party was in his honor, yet Naruto was strangely distant and slightly spacey - he felt something ominous about to happen but wasn't sure what. This did not go unnoticed and Iruka was getting slightly worried - even if he had changed Naruto was still quite loud and cocky (some things never change).

 

“So Naruto, how does it feel to be a man?” Questioned Iruka-sensei, he continued “You know, you now bear the honor, respect, and hope of the village since you are of age, you will-“

 

“I have behaved like a man for many years now, all this birthday does is give me the age and weight behind the age,” Naruto said cockily as he cut Iruka off.

 

“Yes, well-” Iruka began.

 

“Sweetie, I got you some food.” Said a dark-hair woman as she approached the two, she looked similar to Kakashi's girlfriend Kimi with good reason they were fraternal twins, however her eyes were a darker green and her hair was longer to her shoulders and was held in a ponytail; she too had a mysterious air about her and also arrived, with her sister in tow, just a secretively.

 

“Thanks, Hun.” Replied Iruka gently.

 

“Happy Birthday Naruto-kun, you are already a fine man and I am sure that you will only become better from today on,” she continued “Will I be seeing Hinata-san today?”

”Thank you Kiki-san” replied Naruto almost automatically, before adding “However, your guess is as good as mine - after the last mission Hinata-chan and I have not been spending a lot of time together.”

 

“But, I thought-” she stopped after seeing the pained distant look Naruto held in his eyes

 

****Flashback****

“Help me, Naruto-kun!” screamed Hinata, her hands covering her now half naked, the rest of her clothes ripped and shredded.

 

“You should thank us, most ninja would not be so…nice…heh heh heh” said a male voice.

 

“N-No! Stay away! Naruto-kun!” she screamed even louder as they neared.

 

“Hinata-chan! GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY GIRL!!” yelled Naruto as his eyes flashed red and the canines in his mouth grew. He slashed the ninjas as they tried to lunged at him, daggers in hand, the battled lasted only a few minutes more - now that Naruto was using the fox demon's chi - the ninja were no match - they were quickly and mercilessly destroyed.

 

“Na-Naruto-kun?” whispered Hinata, to scared for much else - she knew of the demon spirit but had never actually seen it surface - she had never seen Naruto, her loving gentle Naruto, act so mean and cruel - he had been so vicious.

 

“Hinata-chan are you okay?” Naruto said, calming down and sensing her fear. He had not meant to lose control - he had not meant for her to see him lose control.

 

****End of Flashback****

 

`Hinata-chan…I knew it would not last after she saw the demon fox start to surface…how could it? She was so scared and I was what scared her; with each day we grew more and more distant…'

 

Naruto released a great sigh.

 

“Sigh and you release your happiness,” said a meek and familiar voice.

 

“Hinata-chan, hello, how have you bee?” Naruto replied stiffly, but what else could he do seeing her and talking to her was awkward.

 

“Hey Naruto-kun, I have been fine,” she answered just as stiffly, “actually, that's a lie - Naruto we need to talk” she added `please' for good measure.

 

“Of course.” He said as the walk toward the bench near the in the park.
