Broken Hearts. Mended Lives Chapter 8
🕑 Added 2024-04-10 09:48:37 +0000 UTCThe werewolf was mangy to say the least. Its face was covered in mange and sores with both of its eyes having a film of grey over them and I realized as the mad werewolf charged at us that this was a monster who was just here to die. I highly doubted this was a human werewolf who shifted with the changing of the moon cycles... This was something else.
Put my hands together I pulled at the training Hinata gave me and with the hours of practise I had done, I sharply inhaled with my chest expanding and then with my breath filling with chakra, I exhaled powerfully and a loud booming noise rang out.
As from my mouth shot out a large fireball the size of a small sedan that shot out with it's chakra flames cracking through the air as it flew into the charging werewolf.
"Get up a tree Hinata." I said as I knew she was incapable of fighting but as I looked behind me I saw that Hinata was stuck still with her eyes seemingly empty of thought as her mind had seemingly relapsed into going into its broken state making me mentally curse.
'I can't let the werewolf get to her... She is literally helpless now.' I thought with some anxiety as the werewolf howled as my large fireball washed over its frame and then exploded slightly at colliding with his form sending him skidding across the dead leaf covered ground making me frown as I saw he was singed but not covered in burns like I expected the werewolf to be.
"Fuck off!" I roared at the werewolf but it just howled with bloody drool flinging everywhere as it answered in kind before it loped to the side in a charge and I felt my blood boil as I realized it was targeting Hinata after realizing she was the weak link.
Using more chakra from within myself I decided that I needed to kill this as soon as possible. I had to go truly loud.
An endless ear-piercing shrieking rang out as my fist was covered in lightning burned brightly and then taking a sprinting stance I dashed forward with my feet cratering the ground as I felt myself pull something in my legs as I used my chakra to dash forward at blinding speed that I couldn't keep track of.
And if I couldn't keep track of my movement with my entire body flooded with chakra... A half-blind Werewolf who was probably even more blinded by the flames and the crackling lightning couldn't either.
My makeshift Chidori slammed home into the Werewolves chest and instead of trying to punch through his chest I just flared my lightning even more powerfully draining my chakra as I did so. As I had stunned the werewolf with the lightning running through its veins and I then just ripped my arm covered in lightning through the side of its chest. Frying and mulching any organs in the way of my fist and arm.
Once I pulled my arm out of the werewolf I quickly dodged back as it swung a wicked claw-covered hand at my head and then with its chest almost cut in half I did the smart thing... I fucking turned around and hobbled away as I could barely walk on the legs that I had certainly pulled all the damn muscles in.
"Come on... Wake up Hinata." I whispered as I cupped her face with a hand and her dull broken eyes that reminded me of the nights of when we first arrived and she would just stare at me blankly hurt me down to my soul continued that pattern.
For a second I considered giving her a gentle slap or really just a pat to the cheek to see if that would wake her up... But this wasn't her having a panic attack, this was her mind retreating down into a dark hole to deny reality around her so she didn't have the feel any pain.
So even as my legs screamed in agony... Along with the werewolf howling behind me as it ran away deeper into the forest and leaving my sight and senses. I got Hinata onto my back in a piggyback as I made my way back home.
Every step made my legs shudder with agony as the torn muscles screamed in denial but I kept walking with my eyes closed as I likewise mentally shut down except for keeping my eyes and ears open for any other creature coming near.
It was only when we got into the apartment and I dropped Hinata onto our couch that I collapsed face-first into her stomach as I screamed at the pain that likewise was screaming from my legs from walking back home while carrying Hinata.
And there was no response from Hinata to my scream, just the empty doll that was Hinata Hyuga when she was forced to face conflict.
I gently rolled off her onto the ground so I could pull off my pants so I could inspect the damage to see what the hell I did to my legs and after doing so... I quickly realized that I fucked up.
As there was clear internal bleeding with how the backs of my legs were a dark purple from blowout blood vessels and I covered my face with my hands but thankfully I knew there wasn't nerve damage as I could feel my legs screaming very clearly while having full control over them still.
I just had torn the muscles in my bad with my Chidori charge that made me run faster than a literal cheetah for a split second.
So... I literally crawled across my apartment, got some ice from my freezer, got it into a bag that was covered in a couple of towels and then I crawled back over to Hinata on the couch and took one of her hands I got onto the couch moved her so her head was resting on my lap with my putting my legs on the large ice pack I made.
And then I waited. I waited for Hinata to come to her senses, and come back to the light of reality after realizing she wasn't in a bad place. And that I was here and she wasn't going to be hurt.
Finally, after an untold amount of time as I held her hand within my own. I felt her hand squeeze mine and her pale lavender eyes blinking with a hint of life coming to them as she came to and as she seemingly realized we were back home she whispered. "You killed the monster?"
I stilled before shaking my head and saying slowly. "I don't think so... Werewolves can only be killed via complete destruction or a weapon covered or made out of silver."
Hinata closed her eyes with her hand squeezing mine. "Sorry." She whispered with finality and I knew what she meant.
She was sorry that she utterly froze up and became an issue. But using my free hand I gently cupped her chin with her eyes opening to meet mine as I spoke. "I protect you then. I will protect you again. I almost ripped the werewolf in half... And I probably could have killed it if I wasn't a dumbass and hurt my legs when I charged at it. But Hinata... You are healing, you coming to now is a sign of your recovery." I spoke softly at the end.
That was the end of the conversation as she clearly didn't want to argue or dismiss my words no matter how she felt. But after she got her head on straighter she got out a healing cream she made and began massaging the cream into my legs to help me heal.

Darn that has got to hurt I hate it when absolutely anything goes wrong with your legs because it just makes absolutely everything suck so much worse when trying to do anything
Iori Daemona Angel
Fine, I will do it next time. 😏
Azazyel
Hehe... You should have voted harder for this to get the Sunday long chapter haha!
Iori Daemona Angel
Sorry I guess I am getting used to your longer chaps with your campione stuff.
Hmm is it time
Thanks for the chapter.
Azazyel
Reeee it was the average length XD. Probably because it was two scenes of both the fight and Hinata coming to which probably deserves it's own chapter
Iori Daemona Angel
Hmm, felt rather short.
