Chapter 6
***
I couldn't thank Shikamaru enough. Somehow the genius had got me out of the hospital with the blonde female's consent and I was free… or as free as one could get in our situation. I went from walking out the front door of the hospital freely to being dragged into Hatake Kakashi's home. Shikamaru had warned me that I wouldn't like where him and Gaara have been staying, all I could think at the time was nothing could be worse than that cold, colorless, noisy building.
I was completely wrong.
Now I was in this human's dwelling; and every inch of it smelled like him. To be honest I expected that but I was still annoyed that my nose started to run. I had one memory of my nose doing this before. When the female human who would bathe herself in a flowery scent would be in the same room as me. I don't remember anything else about her expect that, oh and her death. I guess someone else got sick and tired of her powerful smell. Hatake Kakashi's home didn't smell like flowers though, and neither did he, but I still wasn't very fond of it.
When Hinata handed me a tissue from a box on one of his table's I saw Hinata was the only one that didn't need one.
"You too, huh? I've tried to find whatever it is you seem to be allergic to but…" The human started, rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't finish his sentence though; Shikamaru waved it off after he wiped his nose.
"We'll get use to it after a while."
I wasn't really paying attention to Shikamaru's discussion with the human, too busy trying to image Gaara with a runny nose and failing. I grinned as I looked over to the red head- my smile quickly died as his eyes glared back at me as if he knew what was on my mind. I averted my eyes only after Shikamaru pulled me back into the conversation.
"Is that alright with everyone?"
Gaara glared some more and Hinata hesitated before looking at me for my answer.
"Sorry, I wasn't listening." I gave a weak smile, my hands shoved in the deep pockets of my new orange sweater. Shikamaru sighed heavily, his shoulders dropped and his eyes could barely be seen under their lids. I saw immediately his was pissed.
"We're sharing a room," he pointed at Gaara, himself, and me to my horror. "And Hinata will have the room across the hall."
"No way!" I screamed, "No fucking way in hell I'm staying in a room with him!"
The red head agreed with me for once catching the rest of us off guard. Quickly I recollected my thoughts, "Yeah, I'll just stay with Hinata!"
Shikamaru shook his head, "Naruto, Hinata needs her space being a female and all-"
"Dumb ass." Gaara finished for the 02 brunette, making me royally pissed. A heavy growl of frustration and anger ripped through me as I rounded on the red head but I couldn't do anything to him at all as Hinata stepped in between me and him.
"Its fine," she stuttered, placing her hands lightly on my arms. "Really, I don't mind. Thank you so much letting us stay here with you, Hatake Kakashi."
It was at that moment I remembered the human in the room (how could I forget..?), his eyes were slightly wider than before but other then that small change everything was the same. My unnatural growl probably startled him just as it had the blonde female human from the hospital. I wasn't any less excited…
"Um… Naruto," Hinata pushed me gently back a step or two, catching my attention with my name. "Why don't we go for run?"
"That's a great idea." For once Shikamaru sounded generally happy; too bad he was happy to remove me from his view.

I brushed my moody emotions away, taking Hinata up on her offer. Maybe a good run was what I needed after being shot and now stuck in this human infested town for who knows how long… I actually had to ask about that soon. After all, I still had Kiba to save.
We had escaped the large buildings and all the humans, finding shelter in the trees, grass, and dirt. As I inhaled the fresh oxygen and all the scents around me, I enjoyed every minute of it. The air whipped my cheeks as I picked up more speed, weaving between the tall trees and bushes covering the ground. I could hear Hinata far behind me, panting for breath as she tried to keep up with me. Letting out a huff of air I began slowing down step by step until I came to a complete stop. I was expecting the silence of the forest to enter my ears as it had the other night but aside from Hinata's footsteps and labored breathing came a group of voices I didn't recognize.
"Thanks for stopping, Naruto." She breathed out, one hand over her chest as she took in more air.
"Yeah… Do you hear that?" I focused on the noise, pinpointing it two miles east to our current location. My feet were moving before I even knew it, but this time a little slower so I didn't lose Hinata.
Two miles are nothing to cover, even at Hinata's slow pace, we were there in minutes. My eyes took in the medium sized group of humans as I made my way out of the foliage; Hinata hanging onto my arm in hopes of preventing me from catching their eyes but in truth they wouldn't have noticed me if she hadn't stumbled. All eyes were on us, a couple were surprised and some just annoyed. However their stares didn't matter to me, the fresh scent of a drop of blood is what had me grinning. I decided to take Shikamaru's advice for this moment and pretend I was one of them.
"What's going on here?" Unfortunately my sarcasm was pretty clear and I was just barely controlling my laughter as a few humans stepped aside, unknowingly giving me a clear view to the wounded kid on the ground. Hinata's gripped tightened; reminding me where I was and what I wasn't supposes to be doing. Letting more blood rain down was a clear hell no. "Picking on others, I see."
"Just who the fuck are you?" a tall male with light brown hair, dark eyes, and looked heavier than myself took about three steps toward us. He pointed angrily and glared as if we interrupted the best part of their battle. As pissed off as he was making me in that quick second with his shitty little finger that I just wanted to rip off I had to agree silently with my own inner thoughts. Maybe we did interrupt their fight because there was so little blood… I mean, I had to get this close to smell it. That's just sad.
"Hey, I asked a damn question! Are you going to answer it or are you just going to stand there like retards until I beat it out of you?" The same male human started to crack his knuckles, trying his best to intimidate me. I couldn't hold in my laughter! I let it rip through my body, completely draining me of oxygen and causing my eyes to tear. Hinata was still trying her best to keep the human safe from my hands and the idiots didn't even know it. As my laughter died down I could still hear it echoing throughout the forest. The male human that challenged us was confused.
I really looked him over, compared to the humans he might be strong but just from a glance I knew he wouldn't survive a throw from Hinata let alone me. I waved him off, paying more attention to the stuttering female beside me.
"Uh, we're new to the area… you see, we were just taking a walk when we came upon your group. Sorry for any inconvenience…" She tired her best to pull me out of the clearing, and I was letting her pull me, before I said anything else but I didn't have to. The human said something himself that dug his own grave.
"That didn't answer the question, bitch; it only told us that you and that laughing jackass were having sex in the woods until you heard us beating the living shit out of that guy!" The "oh's" that followed suit from the other humans that hadn't said a word for some unknown reason froze me to the spot.
"Naruto…" Hinata's pale eyes look back at me nervously, her hand was still tugging on my wrist in hopes I would just let it go but I couldn't. I just couldn't, not after he called Hinata a bitch. Like she was some dog. Humans were nothing but trash that needed to be burned.
I looked over my shoulder, letting my eyes glare back into the male human's dark brown ones. In a forced neutral voice I asked him to repeat what he had said, a snarl whispering underneath my words.
"What, you don't find that funny?" Before the loud group of "oh's" erupted once more I was in the male's face with hands around his throat, my eyes burning as I saw him struggling for breath and his eyes rolling back as his legs gave out from beneath him. The other humans were screaming in shock, fear, and calling out the male's name as he was on the verge of never coming back. But he would remain alive, I realized as Hinata pulled at my arms while crying my name, tears of fear rolling down her cheeks. My burning eyes dulled and my anger was pushed as far back as I could get it. I had to remember that Hinata didn't like me to kill humans…for whatever the reason.
I let the human's throat go, dropping him to the ground as he coughed and threw up, gripping his chest as air was allowed in. Another blonde female rushed to his side, throwing glares my way every so often as she patted the back of the male and talked to him.
"Kankuro, are you alright?" He coughed some more and the blonde female winced, calling over her shoulder another name. "Sasuke, Sasuke, we have some bastard here that seems to want a good fight!"
"No! No, we don't!" Hinata called back, her eyes so teary and pathetic that I pulled her red face into my chest.
"Don't worry, be thankful… He's still alive." I looked down at the two humans before me. They shared some of the same scents… but it was different. I guessed they must be living together or something but all in all I really didn't care. "Let's go."
"Hang on." It was a new voice, one that sounded bored and thick with annoyance as he spoke. The male human entered my view at his own pace, looking me over a couple of times before he talked again. My eyes did the same, looking from his black hair to his sneaker covered feet. His pale skin stood out too much with all his dark clothing and his dark eyes that also looked black were piercing and annoying to say the least. "Are you at least going to give me your name since you half way killed one of my friends?"
"Why don't you give yours first?"
"Uchiha Sasuke," Two names again, I glared more at him.
"Naruto," After a moment he realized that was all I was going to say and instead asked for Hinata's, in which she gave herself.
"I have a feeling we're going to be running into each other a lot."
I huffed out air as I pulled Hinata back into the forest, throwing over my shoulder, "Spare me." I couldn't deny it though, what the male human, Uchiha Sasuke, had said. His scent was familiar to my nose even though I was quite sure I had never seen him before. When things where thrown into someone's face like that it was always a sign of foreshadowing or some shit.
"Let's go back to Hatake Kakashi's house, Hinata. I feel like a nap."
***
After a refreshing run back to the Hatake Kakashi's house, a nap, and wonderful hot bath I was called downstairs by Shikamaru. I looked at Hinata who had been lying down ever since we got back. Her soft breathing so slight I could barely hear it; reminding me of her voice. At the brunette's second call I stood, letting a small sigh escape my mouth followed by soft cruses.
"Yeah?" I breathed out, annoyance clear in my tone as I made it into the room.
Shikamaru's eyes were hard, piercing right through me and this time I didn't have Hinata to shield me. Instead I just looked away; he was obviously pissed at me for whatever reason. Gaara beside him just looked smudge even though his face remained the same. The human, Hatake Kakashi, stood in the doorway of the living room, his back facing the kitchen where another human sat. I knew the scent instantly and knew why I was in deep shit. I decided to play it dumb…
"Hinata's still sleeping." I announced lamely, pointing over my shoulder towards the staircase.
Shikamaru nodded, his arms remaining crossed over his chest and eyes never leaving me. "Its fine, I didn't ask for her." I was surprised at how natural his voice sounded. "Let's go outside for a moment." I knew I didn't have much of an option. I just nodded, looking anywhere but him as I made my way to the front door.
"Is everything alright?" The older human asked, clearly a little confused about the situation. I heard Shikamaru reassure him and tell Gaara to wait inside as his footsteps echoed mine. If Hatake Kakashi didn't understand anything then I guess the younger human must had come inside the home earlier talking about this afternoon, giving Shikamaru tiny clues that I had been the one who had almost killed his friend. Giving the fair human my name probably wasn't the smartest move either.
Once the door was closed behind us I followed Shikamaru's steps throughout the town. I feel the humans' eyes on us; hear their mumbles about our mysterious arrival and some of them already knew of the incident in the forest. This place was pretty small huh? Word got around fast. I knew Shikamaru would tell me the same exact thing and I would feel that much stupider because I now know just how small this society of humans was if my almost killing that male in the woods was already the big news. That meant they were all watching us… waiting for us to slip up. Even more of a reason for us to leave in my opinion. Just what was the angry 02 in front of me waiting for?
As our walk lead us closer and closer to the forest the group of eyes watching us lessened but my body didn't relax and it wasn't because of Shikamaru. It was just these nasty humans. There were just so many of them… was it truly possible to kill them all?
I was pulled out of my thoughts as a random female blonde ran up to Shikamaru with a smile on her face and pink cheeks. She was wearing a light purple summer dress and open toed shoes. Her hair was pulled back and long, her chest was also big making me believe every blonde female human had large breast… But none of these things bothered me. What made me puzzled was how the 02 seemed to calm down when she walked up to him. Even as he pushed her away and told her in a bland voice to just leave him alone his body language told me otherwise. I couldn't help but wonder when they had met. So, for future reference, as I walked around her as Shikamaru had done I inhaled her scent deeply. Taking a mental note of how she was the first person I knew to smell of real flowers.
"Ino!" it was said with such anger I turned to look at which human had said it. It was a male I knew that much. The human had long blonde hair as well, his eyes a lighter shade of blue than my own, but he also had a flower scent around him.
"I thought I told you to leave those strange newcomers alone! We know nothing about them." He was holding the arm of the female who had just spoken to Shikamaru tightly and whispering his words in hopes we wouldn't hear him. Shows how much of us he didn't know.
"Oh, calm down dad," This female I assumed was name Ino removed her arm from the male's hold and became almost just as angry. Could she see the size difference between the two of them, the age difference? He could beat her bloody if he wanted too. I could feel a grin washing over my face just at the thought. I could tear them all to pieces in seconds. I remembered the arm of the guy I had ripped off back when we escaped that dark room. The memory of fresh blood almost made me forget where I was.
"I am only trying to be friendly!" and with that the female stormed off, the older blonde male huffing behind her and Shikamaru (oddly enough) was once more annoyed. I really wanted to know what I had missed between the three of them. I couldn't really ask now though, seeing as the 02 was pissed again and I was more then sure he was going to take it out on me. So I continued to follow the brunette into the thick forest where no one, hopefully, would hear our argument… or screams of pain.

AN: The reason Naruto, Gaara, and Shikamaru's nose was running is because Kakashi's scent was strong in his house, which is only normal. After staying in the home for a couple of days the running stopped.
