Chapter 4

Misunderstandings Galore

Hinata sat on her bed her, arms folded angrily over her chest while Naruto absently cleaned himself. Standing opposite of her was Sakura, currently in her human disguise, who looked just as angry as Hinata. Standing next to Sakura was Orvus who was well aware of the killing intent still building in the room. He cleared his throat, "As I have said before, Miss Sakura's room has yet to be built so the Council has decided to put her with you until it's done."

Hinata's gaze turned to him and a bead of sweat ran down the back of his neck. "Why Me?" She said, each word with enough venom to kill a bull with.

"Because she is your responsibility, the only reason why she's allowed to walk about without chains is due to the fact that you have supported her coming in and you already are a candidate for the Monster/Hunter Cooperation Program. Which I'll remind you has been seeing very successful and profitable results thanks to you." The older Hunter stated.

Hinata groaned. "Ugghhhhhhh..." She raised her head leaning backward "You do realize that I only got one fucking bed right? And that Naruto is here as well?"

"Yes I am..." He said plainly.

She groaned even more then she sat straight up. "Fine, but you better get her new place built fast because if you don't I'm going take it out on you! And don't think that I won't do it because you know full fucking well that I will!"

Her guild leader swallowed well aware that this particular huntress cared very little about rank and file. "Y-Yes ma'am," He said nervously before he gathered himself, clearing his throat and walking away.

Hinata returned to glaring at Sakura. "I hope you take showers." She snapped.

Sakura blew a lock of hair. "Same goes for you." She hissed.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Naruto asked.

"Nothing!" They both said, their tones dripping with honey, but their glare intensified afterward.

Naruto used his rear foot to scratch his ear. "Well play nice you two, I'm going to sleep," He said before he opened his mouth in a wide yawn, sharp teeth sparkling. He closed his mouth and made a small circle, resting his head on his hands. Within seconds he was snoring.

Hinata turned to face Sakura then she sighed. "Listen... I think we got off on the wrong foot, Naruto had told me how, at the time, he wasn't in control of his actions, and that you happened to be in heat... so I'm willing to overlook that moment you had with him..."

The Oni girl just rolled her eyes though. "Tch... Typical human..." She spat with disgust.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hinata snapped right back.

The pink haired girl raised her hands as if in bemusement. "You think because you got to fuck him first that you have full rights to him? You haven't even been marked as his alpha..."

Hinata just blinked, not exactly sure what Sakura meant at first.

"When male monsters mate, it varies and depends, but when female monsters mate for the first time, they show devotion to their first... I was a virgin when he fucked me, and since you weren't marked as his Alpha mate, that means I have just as much right to him as you do..."

The huntress began to bristle in anger. "What are you talking about? He and I are in love..." She began.

"You would think that is all that's involved. Let me let you in on something, fat tits... when a monster's race is near extinction, it will mate with anyone and anything instinctively, and will have as many mates required to repopulate... That is pretty much why he can't control himself! You seen another monster like Naruto around? Only the marked Alpha female has the right to sate that instinct and restrain him... and as long as that spot is open to anyone, I'm going to be vying for it... I'm going to bring nothing but pleasure and happiness to him, and he will make me his Alpha..."

"You..." The Hyuuga was now tensing her muscles, anger filling her at the sheer indignation.

The monster in front of her just gave a mocking smile. "But how about this... you kiss up to me now, and I might consider letting you have sloppy seconds..."

The human fumed for a second before she shook her head, laughing. She approached Sakura until they were inches apart. "I think you're mistaken..." And she grabbed one of her huge breasts, hefting it up to Sakura's own. "Because if anyone can bring pleasure and happiness to him... I think I'm more qualified..."

The oni's human face blushed crimson. "Grr... Get that fat udder out of my face..." She snarled

"Make me you flat chested bimbo..." Was the snarky reply.

They were about to fight when Naruto gave a loud yawn. "Haaaaaaaaa! What are you two doing?" He asked, looking at them his eyes narrowed with a slight hint of frustration.

The two just smiled and put their arms around each other's shoulders. "Nothing! Not at all!" The pink haired one said.

"Just the two of us bonding!" The blue haired one confirmed.

He looked from one to the other then he yawned again. "Well get some sleep, I'm bushed and if you two wake me up again I'll throw you both out!" He grumbled.

"You can't do that!" Hinata said aggressively.

"Watch me!" He growled back and he rested his head down, muttering darkly about women and shouting over about stupid things.

The two women promptly pushed each other off and glared at the other. Then the Huntress climbed on the bed and laid on it, her back to her rival. Sakura closed the door, and was soon on as well. She removed her clothes and tossed them onto the floor. She then stretched her body morphing back to it's original form.

"Ahhh much better..." She said under her breath and laid down as well, nearly bouncing her neighbor up into the air. The Huntress turned around angrily but the Oni girl whistled, which caused Naruto to growl slightly. She stopped whistling promptly then within a few minutes she was asleep, breathing gently.

Hinata wasn't ready for bed though, her mind was drifting to two days earlier when she had went to meet Shino the local alchemist and local doctor for the Guild.

-2 Days earlier-

Hinata walked in the door of a modest building without care. Above the door was a large sign with a bottle that bore two symbols on it, one of a snake devouring itself and a medical cross. The snake was the legendary Ouroboros, the usual sign of an alchemist's workshop, while the cross indicated a doctor.

"So he's a doctor and an alchemist?" Naruto asked.

"Yep, and one of the best from what I've dealt with. Man knows a lot, almost too much even." She said.

"And why are we here exactly?" Sakura asked.

"I decided to get a check up, and since you two are here might as well have you checked too." The great fox stopped walking.

"I'd rather not." He said plainly.

The two paused and turned to him.

"Why not?" The Oni asked.

"Just... not fond of doctors?" He replied, looking away.

"Huh?" Was the only response from the two.

"It's... nothing." He finally said as he followed them, though he switched to his more feral face to hide his apprehension. They walked in the rather large door, and came to a simple room big enough to fit at least 20 people inside, across was a desk where a man was sitting. He wore a light green robe with a hood and a high collar that covered his face, the only sign of which was his eyes, which were hidden behind spectacles that he pushed up with his ring finger delicately.

"Hinata Hyuuga, what do I owe the pleasure for your visit today?" His voice was rather bland, devoid of any real emotion.

"Hey Shino need a checkup, these two as well."

The man turned his head ever so slightly. "So this is the Infamous Naruto, and this must be the Oni girl Sakura that you just recently recruited."

The two monsters blinked. "Infamous?" The fox asked sounding somewhat nervous.

"Recently recruited."

He pushed his glasses up again. "Indeed. Naruto you have cemented yourself amongst the Guild as powerful, vicious, and of great stature. Many find it hard to believe that you follow Hinata, yet I do not share their doubts. Hinata is powerful and she will become more so as the months and years pass." He turned to Hinata slightly, "The potion she consumed to achieve such strength is one that I have been trying to recreate for the longest of times, yet it's fused perfectly with her cells and therefore it's been difficult to separate enough of it for me to retro-create it." He then turned back to her.

"The only question I have is why she values you so much? Even if you are a unique monster she hates your kind with a passion that could burn an entire kingdom to the ground. It is indeed interesting, this value she has of you."

Naruto just blinked while his mate looked embarrassed.

"As for the Oni, you have grown quite famous in a short amount of time, being the second monster to be given Hinata's seal of approval which may not matter to some but it matters enough that the higher ups are questioning their current involvement with this new Monster/Hunter Cooperation Treaty. They've hunted your kind since they first formed and that's been for nearly 50 years now. This act has thrown everything they have known into a great flux, yet if this proves successful it could either mean a time of great glory or a time of great conflict." He stated.

"And what makes you think that?" Sakura asked, now curious. This human's analytical skills were beyond normal.

"Humans and monsters coexisting... apparently long ago this was more common place but nobody who lived in those times live today except perhaps a monster." He turned his head to the orange beast briefly then to Sakura again. "Regardless, the question as to how people view you monsters, as equals or as beasts of burden. You may be monsters but if you are like most living beings you have pride, almost as much as a human, if not more. If people see you as mere pets I doubt your kind would respond well, and then it becomes a new hunt; not to kill, but to submit. Alternatively if people respect you as a society it's quite possible that a new age where man and monster can walk side by side as equals and create a land where equality can exist, leading to a more truer version of peace than what used to exist. However there is also the possibility that the monsters might use this to launch a sneak attack on human society, which could create a chaotic war that could possibly drive humans and monsters into a hole of distrust that would keep them that way for hundreds of years." He said all this very rapidly.

"I told you, knows too much." She muttered to Naruto who nodded, frowning slightly as a memory touched his mind.

"But that's another conversation all together."

Sakura blanched. "And what you just did wasn't?"

Shino was about to open his mouth when Hinata gave a growl and he closed it. "First I must examine you all, come with me."

"I'd rather not be examined." The fox monster said.

Shino, who had stood up, looked at the great beast.

"There are 2 reasons why Hinata brought you, she told you the first but not the second. The first reason is for the examination true, but it leads up to the second one. Which is to have potion prescribed for you to improve your overall health and combat abilities, this potion is also to fix whatever health problems you have, be they physical, mental, or even, to a certain degree, spiritual." He explained rapidly, "If you have any problems I would need to check you to give you the proper prescription."

The great fox just shook his head stubbornly. "Don't care," he said simply.

"Very well, but please consider it next time." Shino said.

"You sure about that?" Hinata asked.

"If he doesn't wish to be checked then I won't force him. It is strictly against not only my Oath as a certified professional, but also my own personal ethics." The alchemist said, shrugging slightly. He then stepped to the side and tapped a wall, which slid down to reveal a rather large doorway, "This way please." He said.

"But you made me do it no matter what!" She said sounding angry.

"True, but that was a different matter entirely. We all have our duties to the Guild, that was mine, and submitting to the exam was yours." The alchemist said resolutely.

The Huntress fumed as she walked in, followed closely by Naruto and Sakura, who was giggling at Hinata's frustration.

Behind the wall was an entirely different place, a massive shop with jars leaned on eight rows, on three walls; the two sides and one in the back. In the jars were an innumerable amount of ingredients, most of which were insects that none of them, not even the more worldly Oni, had ever seen. There were also several giant cauldrons bubbling with multi-colored liquids inside of them. In addition, there were smaller cauldrons too that Shino, as he walked past, gently stirred and looked at them critically before finally nodding and continued walking.

Eventually they went down some stairs, leaving the giant cauldrons behind, that went down to a type of room that was about half the size of the other shop, while remaining pretty massive. There were several items here, a chair with leather cushioning, a steel table, various vials, syringes, and even a type of seeing glass. "Hinata if you will strip please." Shino said as he waved his hand. His robes vanished and were instantly replaced by another one, this one white and far less personal than his previous garments, likely because they were to be thrown out after the exam for sterility reasons. He walked over to a wooden table and opened a drawer, pulling pulled out rubber gloves before turning to her.

He held his hands up, and Naruto and Sakura blinked as they noticed a mask on his face for the first time. "As always if I happen to do something that you find either uncomfortable or discomforting let me know and I will stop" He said.

Hinata was stripping, humming to herself as she did and even giving her body a slight wiggle in Sakura's direction, who gave an angry 'harumph' .

Shino approached her when she fully stripped completely and she turned to him and nodded. "Alright, first I need you raise your arms and then..." As he talked he began to work, he grabbed her breast first, her right one then her left, he cupped them then lifted them up and even bounced them and said, "Hmmm... according to my records your bust has increased in size by approximately three centimeters." He announced. In response to this discovery, he reached for a clipboard on the steel table and wrote down what he discovered.

Naruto was growling, his tails turning and twisting in the air.

"Naruto, stop it!" Hinata ordered. She looked at them to see the Oni had her hands to her mouth, her eyes wide. "Don't worry he's not doing anything creepy. It's normal for a medical exam... and Shino has absolutely no sex drive whatsoever. He's a professional through and through."

Naruto stopped snarling and he lowered himself, but his front claws would occasionally scuff the ground.

"Would you please stop that." Shino idly requested as he turned to continue, "This flooring was very expensive to put in."

The fox gave a snort and lowered his head onto his hands, complying.

The doctor resumed. Sakura still had her hands over her mouth, she was embarrassed both by Hinata's positions as the 'doctor' examined her and the Huntress' jiggling and wiggling assets.

"How can you do all that?" She asked, utterly embarrassed and slightly horrified.

"It's weird but it works." She was standing straight now, while the alchemist pressed and rubbed her butt cheeks.

"As with your breasts, your butt has also grown. The growth is more significant, nearly twice as much as your breasts." He said stoically as he stood up while Hinata turned crimson to write down some notes, "Also, your vagina is inflamed. Have you had intercourse recently?" He asked.

"Yes." She said instantly.

"Hmmm," He turned back to her and knelt down. Lifting a hand, he pressed a point on each of her hips, causing a sharp intake of breath from her. "I suggest you stop for the time being." He announced.

"Why?" She asked.

"Have you had pains when you are doing movements such as squatting, jumping or even running?" He asked, to which she nodded, "That's because your hips have developed several very light fractures. Also, there's light bruising on your waist, you must tell whoever you are having sexual intercourse with to be more gentle. You may not have sex for about a month. That's how long it will take for this to start healing. Additionally, you will be required to take pills I will be giving you when you prepare to leave once every other day." He said, "Other than that your health is excellent, and in accordance with your records and the potion within you, once you're healed your hips will be roughly half again as strong as they are now, while your genitalia will be similarly resilient." He jotted down on his clipboard then took the paper and set it to the side.

"Now you, Oni girl." He said.

"Do I really have to?" She asked.

"In order for me to make potion that will bring you to your maximum physical potential, yes." He said matter-of-factly.

"B-but-"

He pushed his glasses up in a way that caused them to shine in the light. "If you are worried about my knowledge of your anatomy then you need not worry, I've had some hands on experience with Oni anatomy as well as several other monsters." H_e said stoically._

"Uh how, how many is several?" Sakura asked.

"238 and counting..." Was the short reply.

"Shit." Naruto blurted.

"You say that now, it was 188 about a week ago." Hinata commented dryly. "The man's obsessed with research."

The alchemist turned to her. "To some yes, I merely am trying to acquire as much knowledge as fast as possible." He reasoned.

"Understandable." Naruto said and he lowered his head and closed his eyes as Hinata walked to him and scratched his ears.

She looked at Sakura who still looked nervous. "Chicken?" She teased, but it had the desired effect.

"S-shut up!" Sakura said furiously, and she walked to Shino with hard steps.

"I would prefer your natural form." He said.

"R-Really?" He just stared at her then pushed up his glasses so they shone in response. "O-okay then..." She removed her clothes and reverted to her Oni form.

"Hmmm rather small compared to most." He said, causing her to turn red, her brow furrowing. "Now then would you please..."

The Oni girl was subjected to his observations, and she had to admit he was rather professional, not lingering anywhere too long unless it was to squeeze a certain muscle and release a 'Hmmm'. He finally went low and she began to perspire. She even gasped when he pushed a hand onto her skin, "Hmmm... you've also had sexual intercourse and are also in heat." He deduced, getting up and walking over to his clipboard, "It's fortunate for you that your kind is so hard to impregnate even when in heat." He said.

"W-what do you mean?" Sakura asked slightly worried, slightly hopeful as she shrunk into her disguised form again.

"What I mean is that you almost got pregnant." A loud whining sound emerged from Naruto causing all but Hinata to look at him. She whistled innocently while he visibly flinched away from her, not getting far because she'd wrapped a hand around on of his ears - which was probably the source of the pained sound.

"Regardless, it's very hard to impregnate Oni women even in heat, one of the reasons why is because their passages cause sperm to decay at a faster rate and as such requires multiple mating's in one go. There's also some slight inner bruising but other than that you are in good form. I'll get your potion done in two days." Shino said writing down everything. "You must take it once every 24 hours and you should be in top physical condition within a few weeks. I apologize, I would give you a more exact number, but how long it takes is something I cannot calculate without several spells, because it is different for everyone. Is this understood?"

Sakura nodded as she got her clothes back on. '_He almost got me pregnant? Wow I guess I should be careful next time. Don't want to lose the figure yet.' _Then she remembered."I will need a potion though for my magic, I don't have a large amount of stored away so something to keep that in uh... peak levels would be helpful." She said.

"Ah yes I forgotten you can use Magic. Well all monsters can but some are very limited in it's usage, very well take this, it should replenish your magic." He made a small journey over to a nearby cabinet and retrieved a blue vial from it. "Here you are. This must also be taken in a 24 hour cycle. Do not drink all of it at once, about a quarter at a time with, at minimum, 15 minute intervals between intakes, wait longer if your magic doesn't feel diminished, understand?" She nodded.

"Very well, be off then, I'll have your potion ready in two days."

Thanking him in their own ways, the trio left the building at a sedate pace.

-Present time-

Hinata lay there, then she looked at Naruto. Thanks to him the icy shell that she had created was vanishing. But more than that she missed the sex she had with him. But her health was in jeopardy, to a degree she didn't mind the pain but she still had a duty: to kill any monster that threatened humanity. 'You say that but so far you befriended a unique fox monster, and a whole village full of Lamia... Sakura doesn't count.'

Suddenly she felt something pressing against her arm. She froze as she felt a hand grab her arm and... begin pumping up and down her forearm?

She looked over to see Sakura was the one doing it, her eyes closed, muttering sleepily. "Mmmm yes Naruto..."

Hinata flushed, partly angry, partly scared and partly nauseated.

"That's all for me isn't it."

Steam erupted from the Huntress' ears as she realized what Sakura was dreaming about.

'I can't believe it, she's actually dreaming of Naruto's dick!? Not that I blame her it's rather fabulous.' She giggled slightly but froze when the Oni pulled her close and licked her shoulder.

"Oh hell no!" She growled silently before she reached for her captor's arm and tried to push her off, but Sakura clung even tighter.

"God it's like a muscle of it's own!" Sakura gushed in a slur.

The Huntress felt an angry tick appear on her temple.

"A muscle huh?" She growled and she swung a fist at Sakura's cheek it collided hard and woke the Oni girl.

"Ow what the fu- you!" she said this very loud, "Hit me huh?" Hinata sat up glaring.

"You're the one slobbering over me I should-" she began but a growl cut her off and they both turned to see one large glowing red eye glaring at them.

"I know you two aren't arguing when it's 1:58 in the morning right?" he growled and the floor even vibrated.

"N-No." they both said meekly.

"Wait a minute how do you know it's-"

"Go. To. Sleep. Now." He growled, Sakura put her head back down quickly, and Hinata did too. After several seconds his gentle breathing hit the air. Hinata sighed then she got up and grabbing her pillow she went to Naruto tapped his nose. He sighed and opened one eye ready to snarl but stopped when he saw the pillow he grumbled then adjusted himself so that she could nestle in his fur. She kissed his nose affectionately and nestled in.

"Good night," She said and she laid in his fur. He raised his head to look at her then laid it down again.

Part of the reason why the monster was so irritable was that he was more or less going cold turkey as far as sex went. He didn't wish to hurt his mates; he loved them both though if he was asked he would say he loved Hinata more. Regardless, the desire to breed was becoming a stronger desire with each passing day he spent with Hinata and Sakura. It was more than likely that he was in heat himself the only thing he didn't know was how long it would last. He didn't want to think about it, as it brought memories he didn't want to remember. He closed his eyes and rested his head on the ground placing his hands over his head.

-The Next Morning-

Hinata woke up to find herself on her bed, Sakura was gone, but Naruto was still where he was curled into a ball his body a mass of fur save the strange markings indicating his arms and legs. She yawned then slid off her bed and walked to the mirror that was in her room. She looked into it and saw... a different person from what she knew years ago. She was changed, as she reminded herself many, many times before. Killing changed her, she wondered if it did to everybody. She remembered Orvus' story of when he was in the old wars, his hands stained with the blood of over 1,000 soldiers, oddly enough he attained that blood through the belief of defense it was one reason why his guild group was named the Silver Shields. Despite this name though, a lot of the members were more aggressive than passive aggressive. She went to the washroom to freshen up.

Naruto could hear the faint chirping of birds, and he raised his head blinking blearily, he yawned widely and getting out of his ball he scratched his ears with rear legs. He then began to lick himself clean, he did this for several minutes when he finished he sat on his haunches. He heard the door open and turned to see Sakura walking in she had a huge tray loaded with food. "Hey!" She said warmly, "I got this stuff from the mess hall." He lowered his ears.

"You sure you were allowed to do that?" He asked.

"No one stopped me." She said grabbing a chicken leg and putting the whole thing minus the end of the bone she sucked and then popped it out to show the clean bone and tossed it into the trash bin and pulled out a rack of lamb. "Want some?" she teased, he licked his lips she threw it and he snapped it up and began to crunch on it. She watched as he ate it all skin and bone. "Quite the jaws," She said he licked his lips and swallowed.

"Sorry," he said.

"No, no it's not a problem it's a compliment." She walked to him, "You know it signifies that once something catches your eyes you won't let it go. That's something a monster needs to have..." She pushed against his side the smell of meat coming from the tray in her hands. He salivated slightly, "A firm grip to make sure that he's able to keep his mates in order." She said and she was leaning in, suddenly there was a 'fwing' and Naruto's hand shot up to catch a throwing knife. Standing there with a towel covering her front was Hinata looking livid.

"Here I am getting ready to freshen up and suddenly I smell meat, then I come out and see you two getting friendly again huh?" the fox's ears flattened against his head.

"I'm just eating," he defended; he snapped up a rib and began to eat it.

"Uh huh, and you?" She asked Sakura.

"I'm just asserting myself as his alpha." Another knife flew and this time the oni raised a steak piece to block it. "Fine, fine I'll find somewhere else to eat." And she walked out using the knife to eat the steak and throwing another hunk of meat at him which he snapped up. She went out with a little 'Hmph!' and closed the door. Naruto ate crushing the bones with ease, and licking his lips as he did.

"You could've at least resisted her a bit," Hinata huffed before going back to take her bath. He licked his lips then dug a hand into his teeth to dig out the bits of bone that lodged in there. He then sat there but he heard the chirping birds and shuffled to the window to look out. He saw birds nesting in a tree singing and twittering. He watched them his human face watching them the songs they sung ringing in his ears but he shook his head before they lead him backward. "You ok?" he turned is head to see her toweling her hair her large breasts displayed.

"Yeah," he said, then he cocked his head and raised it his ears twitching.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Your people are excited about... something... something to do with someone being back." He said she scratched her head.

"Might as well check it out remember to get your braces on," she said and went to get dressed while Naruto reached for the braces that he had stored near the bed, within a minute the two were ready. "Alright let's go," and the two were off.

-The Front Gates of the Silver Shield Guild Base-

Naruto and Hinata walked to see lot's of people crowding around a person, "So what's the big deal," they looked to see Sakura standing there a large platter filled with meat in one hand and a buffalo leg in the other. "Mmmm tasty," She said.

"Depends hey Naruto can you give me a boost?" He nodded and lowered his head then raised it up she looked and gasped. "Oh my god it's Itachi! And... Sasuke... lovely..." Hinata said.

"And that's...?" Sakura said.

"He's one of the greatest hunter's to ever exist, he's well known for being able to use magic along with his master swordsmanship. He rose to fame when he defeated the legendary monster..." and she continued, Naruto lowered his head. He was used to her cold exterior though it was melting slowly but surely, however to see her genuinely excited about a person and to be so energetic about it... it was nice to see her so happy, even if he wasn't the source. "And it doesn't hurt to add that he also helped me out when I first started being a hunter... He taught me a lot." The fox looked at the two humans.

"I'm assuming he's the taller one?" Hinata gave an 'uh-huh' as she jumped off, he looked again. The human was tall and had a slightly regal look about him. "He looks impressive." And he closed in but made sure to stay in the back not wanting to get to close just in case the other's considered him intruding on them. He saw that the taller one was dressed with a type of leather battle suit, a red scarf around his neck, he also wore what looked like cotton gloves but one could see mystical markings along it. As for the leggings they were also leather and had many throwing knives on the legs.

"So what about the other one?" Sakura asked taking a huge bite of a steak.

"it's Sasuke who cares?" She said coldly.

"Annnnnnnnd?" it was obvious that the oni was not gonna let it go.

"And he has an Etherialum blade, is able to use thunder magic, is Itachi's brother, and is also a total snob. The. End." She said her voice dripping with venom. Naruto looked at the brother and was somewhat confused. His body was covered with elegant silk that hid his hands, and he had a rope tied around his waist, and wore large silk bottoms, and Naruto could see the hilt of a sword on his waist.

"Hate much?" Sakura said only for Hinata to grab a chicken leg and swung it at her face, the one responded by opening her mouth and biting on it. "Fanks!" she said her mouth stuffed with chicken.

"Argh you are utterly impossible I'm gonna-" and she began to shout Naruto sighed and reached with his hands to push them apart, her shouting however began drawing the attention of everybody. Saskue and Itachi looked, the taller man recognizing the voice.

"Doing it again huh?" he said to his brother the younger sibling though looked at the source of the sound. He froze and reached for the blade at his waist and suddenly he was gone and in the air.

"Back foul beast!" he shouted and he drew the hilt however nothing appeared. Then Naruto remembered.

"Crap he's got the phantom metal," and he jumped back just in time as Sasuke swung. Sakura looked confused but her confusion faded when the area that the hunter had slashed suddenly erupted into a shower of rocks.

"W-What the hell!?" She shouted.

"Relax madam," Sasuke said.

"Oh you arro-" Hinata started.

"Always ungrateful," the young swordsman said, and he held up his hand and began to chant as he did symbols appeared on his arm, electricity began to crackle around his fingers and he threw it forward a bolt of lightning appearing and flying toward the fox who raised his arm. The bolt hit the braces and bounced into the ground. "Clever beast! Hyahhh!" and he charged moving with rapid speed.

"Fast," Naruto muttered and he raised his arms to block the invisible blade.

"Ok someone tell me what's that sword he's holding?" Sakura asked.

"It's made of Etherialum a unique type of ore that when forged becomes utterly invisible, and virtually indestructible." Said a calm voice she jumped to see Itachi standing there.

'The hell he got so close and I didn't notice!?' the pinkette was impressed. "So what can break it? All these metals have a weakness." The tall human smiled.

"Light magic, it render's it's invisibility useless and makes the blade physically appear in which it loses it's hardness and is as hard as cracked glass." He said, "but Light magic is a rare and hidden art I know very few spells. Powerful but very draining," Itachi said, "now Hinata can you please tell me what's going on?" he asked.

Naruto gritted his teeth as he parried each blow successfully but it was getting harder. He had to admit this Sasuke was fast and strong and used his clothes as a weapon often to distract him. It was getting harder to defend and with each blow he was getting more and more annoyed. "Argh leave me alone! I didn't do anything!" he shouted, trying to see if talking would work.

"I think not, you were trying to attack those back there! Don't deny it! You're a monster your kind is only capable of one thing! Destruction! Mark my words that I'll be the one to bring YOU destruction!" and he suddenly thrust his hand forward and shot a bolt of lightning that hit Naruto in the face briefly shocking him his fur stood up and his limbs jittered. He growled and his face shifted, from human to fox and the electricity died. Sasuke though ran jumped and held his sword high to plunge into his prey's neck. Suddenly he was smacked out of the air by a tail and was sent crashing into a wall.

"You're really pissing me off you fucking snob!" The fox growled and he began to advance on where he sent the small human flying. Only to dodge as he saw the sword cut through the dust. He growled and jumped, to see Sasuke leap out and flip behind him. Naruto smashed into the wall and it crumbled around him. He turned though his tails sending the rocks falling anywhere but on him. The young hunter twirled his blade and then pressed the hilt onto his other hand. The hilt glowed then the electricity began to run along the blade which crackled and sparked one could almost see the blade. The two glared at each other hatred burning in their eyes.

"Time to die... foul creature!" and he charged, the fox charged as well and the two collided, their weapons meeting each other! Naruto growled as he felt the electricity run through him and he spun to the side and stuck out his rear leg kicking Sasuke through the door into the main hall. The hunter grunted as he bounced once of the ground and flew through the desk and into the wall behind the receptionist who screamed and ran. The black haired boy shook his head looking up to see the orange beast charging at him. He held up his crackling sword and stabbed it into the ground electricity sparking and jumping at the beast who jumped to avoid it.

"Ha gotcha!" Sasuke held up his hand again and fire several bolts of lightning one after the other. Naruto raised his braces blocking the attack only to grunt as he felt the electric blade sink into his gut. He grunted and growled his tails going to wrap around the hunter only to find thin air. He lowered his arms to see that the hunter had thrown the blade!

'Well he lost that weapon!' only to be corrected as the blade suddenly jittered then flew out and into Sasuke's hand. 'Hmph using the electricity as a magnet... cheeky little bastard!' and he slammed into the ground hard. He raised his head weakly, the lowered it again, the cocky hunter smirked and raised his blade walking forward. He stood in front of Naruto raised the sword with both hands and brought it down only for it to clang off as the arm bracers blocked the attack and a back hand sent him flying through the wall and into the garden in the middle. Hunters shouted and ran as Sasuke flew yet again and slammed into a small water fountain that hit the sword and shocked the hunter who screamed then he clenched his fist and the lightning vanished.

Panting and wincing he stood up to see the monster walking forward growling a small amount of blood leaking from the corner of his lips. They glared at each other with pure hatred and charged again they were inches from each other when suddenly two large shields appeared from above, stopped then pushed them back. Hinata appeared from above with Itachi, she ran to Naruto while he ran to Sasuke. She wrapped her arms around his head and neck. "Shhhh... hey, hey! Calm down!" He growled but her scent and words struck him and his anger ebbed, "Shhhhh it's ok..." She said quietly. He growled then lowered his head closing his eyes

"Brother why did you stop me!? I was-Ack!" Itachi flicked his brother on the forehead, "W-What was that for!?" He shouted.

"That was for being reckless, impulsive, and stupid. You should've asked what was happening before attacking. Hinata explained to me what has happened; a lot has changed within the months that we were away on our mission." And Itachi began to explain everything when he finished Sasuke's jaw dropped.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

-Orvus' Office-

"What the fuck is wrong with you two!? Not only did you create a scene you caused damage to the main facility!? Un.fucking.believable." Orvus was glaring at Sasuke who was being healed by his brother's magic, and Naruto who was glaring at the wall while Hinata scratched his ears. It was rare for Orvus to be angry, and if he was angry then nobody could trump him not even Hinata if she was angry. "You little gits are lucky I made sure this incident was not reported back to the higher ups! This could've been a huge backstep for the monster hunter alliance program!" he snarled.

"To be fair Orvus Sasuke was the one who atta-" Hinata began but shut her mouth when he glared at her.

"You're... pet... has a control collar on him why didn't you use it sooner!? It could've stopped this mess a lot earlier!" she stiffened.

"And have this snob wonder kill him!? I don't think so! I'm not losing him because of admiral asshole over there!" She shouted Sasuke gave her a scathing glare.

"Watch your tone young lady, I can just as easily have your pet executed for this, you have no idea how much slack I'm cutting with you right now so don't push your luck." Orvus said coldly, the huntress backed down.

"Orvus if I may speak?" Itachi asked, the leader nodded, "This was indeed mainly Sasuke's fault and partially mine, I should've stopped the fight sooner and asked questions later. However I decided to do the opposite. I'll take any punishment you have for either of these 3." Orvus stood there then he sat down and sighed rubbing his forehead with thumb and forefinger.

"Itachi, it doesn't matter this... project we have is already on shaky ground, we've started making some serious progress thanks to Hinata and a few other hunters and huntress' from other guilds. For example the Erza of Guild Crimson has made great strides with her partner, a Harpy." Sasuke gave a snort of derision. "You may not like it Sasuke but this project is the step we should be making to ensure a possibly better future."

"The only future for human beings is one without monsters in it." He muttered, "I'm outta here," He said and he stood up winced and then walked out the office.

"I apologize," Itachi said, "He's still... bitter about what happened to our parents." He bowed, "I'll make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble, good day Orvus, Hinata." he turned to Naruto and nodded, "Naruto." The fox raised one ear slightly, he smiled and left.

"He's really one of a kind," Orvus said.

"Hmmm I know someone who's a close second." Hinata said and patted Naruto's head meaningfully. "Can we go?" She asked.

"No not yet... I have a job for you three." Orvus said reaching for his desk drawer and puling it out.

"Three?" Hinata asked.

"You're taking Sakura with you," He said, the dark haired woman scowled.

"Do I have to?" She groaned.

"Yes, you do... consider that part of your punishment." He said with a dark grin, but it was quickly wiped off his face. "Anyways we need you to head to M?zu Village, there's been very strange reports there." He said.

"What kind of reports?" She asked, and Naruto was looking at him now his scowl gone and his face attentive.

"Well it's kinda similar to the lamia job however instead of men vanishing, they are at home but their bodies are covered in sweat and they look... utterly drained of vitality." He said, "We think it may involve a creature that drains the life energy from it's victims." He informed.

"Ok so why us?" She asked.

"Well that's easy, it's your punishment!" he said cheerfully, they glowered at him.

"Whoop-de-fucking-doo..." she said finally.
