Shadow: Meh... It's taking awhile for Demon Customs... So we decided to try another. This one will only have three oc's. I'm trying to get to none. I actually hate Oc's alot. So I try to make them important, but not main really.
Summary: This has no pairings. So I guess I'll leave you all to vote. Yaoi, yuri, het whatever. If no one votes, then there will be no pairings. Naruto will be rather strong in this one. He accepted the Kyuubi as such he and Kyuubi get along. Not family or anything but they can tolerate each other. This one Naruto isn't really evil. More like independant and grey. However, he enjoys playing the ditzy blonde.
He whimpered lowly. Why was everyone so mean to him? Did he do something bad? Were his parents' bad people? He sniffled slightly. He had long learned crying was useless. It did nothing, but gives you a headache later on. He slowly wrapped the bandage around his torso. He had heard something snap. However, it was not as if he could go to the hospital. They would just glare, give him a ruff test and then kick him out. It was actually a surprise he had even been able to buy bandages, even if they were poor quality and damaged. He had to reuse them so they were never clean. He sighed, pulling his white shirt down over his stomach. He smiled slightly at the spiral on his shirt. He had always liked spirals. Perhaps it was because of his name. He shook his head slowly. The villagers were so mean. Why did they always have to beat him up at night? They called him mean and bad things. Monster, demon, Kitsune, damned fox…. Yet he could not help but think of them as the monsters. He never hurt anyone. He sighed. The orphanage did not like him either. They had kicked him out, after he could speak right. He crossed his arms sitting on his bed. The Hokage had gotten him an apartment. However …he just felt alone here… He pushed himself up. He winced slightly at the pain, but he could already feel it healing up. Lucky him.
The playground was the gathering point. All children of Kohona that were not yet in the academy were there. That meant he was there as well. While all of the children always played with each other. He was always alone and left out. No one wanted to play with the bad kid, or the monster. Moreover, their parents sneered when they saw him; he must not be nice then right? And the few that tried where pulled away, and never came back. That or they were extra mean the next time they saw him. Naruto shook his head sadly. He had no idea why they did that, and he would tell them he was nice. If they only gave him a chance…no one ever did. He sat on the swing set by himself with a saddened look on his face. 'I wish I could just have one friend to not feel so lonely.' Naruto thought. However, he was sacred of having a friend. He had been tricked a lot of times by people pretending to be nice. You never know who really cares and who's pretending… Quietly he swung back and forth until a group of boys walked up to him.
"Hey guys look it's the demon kid" one of the boys said. "You're on our swings bakemono". Naruto winced hearing that name again. It would seem he would never be given a chance. He would always be the unwanted monster. He sighed. "Gomen nasai but I'm on here now." Naruto said quietly. He did not want to get into any trouble; however, he knew he would never be left alone. Everyone hated him. This made the boys more upset. "You got guts Uzumaki. I will tell you what. If you leave now I will forget that you ever did that. Now move." the same boy told him. It was obvious that he was the leader. However, Naruto was stubborn and he wanted to stand up for himself. At least until he was hurt again. He knew he should do as they say, but he was so tired of being weak. Naruto did not budge. "No? Then I guess I'll have to teach you a lesson". The boy raised his fist to punch the annoyance. Naruto awaited the hit. He knew he should have stayed inside toady. Then Old man Hokage will get that sad look again. It came close when…BAM!
The boy was now on the ground. His hand was holding the back of his head, and some blood dropped to the ground. It was obvious that he was bleeding in the back of his head. Naruto looked down to see a large rock with a little blood on it. The boy clutched the wound harder, his face scrunched up in pain. Other boys looked around for the thrower. "Who did that?" another one asked. "Oops. I guess my hand must've slipped," a girlish sounding voice said. Her dark Purple hair was in a high ponytail; her bangs framed her face and were Lavender in color. Her voice made it evident that she was being sarcastic. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, and were a amethyst color. There seemed to be flecks of red swirling around, in irritation. Her skin was pale and more on the White side. Her arms were crossed. She wore a White Kimono that went to her knees, and had a slit on both sides. She had on baggy black pants on under that. She was wearing boots instead of sandals, and they came to mid calf. Her pant legs were bunched up above the boots. Her arms were wrapped in bandages. "Why did you do that?" the boy still clutching his head asked. "If you want to pick on someone, pick on someone your own size. Or are you cowards?" the young girl said putting her fists at her hips. "You think you are a match for us, girl" a boy with brown hair questioned. The girl's fist tightened "I'll be more than a match. I will be your end. Bring it on, weaklings!" She sneered.
All five of the boys lunged at the girl. Anger obvious on their face. There was a smirk plastered on the girl's face as they closed in. "Now you're in for it, little girl." One called. The girls smirk widened into a slight grin. Naruto closed his eyes, unwilling to see the torture the girl would endure. He only heard the sounds of blows, and flesh hitting flesh.
Naruto kept his eyes covered even after the hits ceased. He heard footsteps come closer towards him. The boy was fearful of the pain he was about to take. Naruto held tight and awaited the punches to fly. "Hey, kit. Open your eyes." a feminine voice, told him. He removed his hands to see the girl leaning over towards him smiling softly. She did not have a single bruise or cut on her. Her eyes were calm and were no longer purple with red; they were actually a silver blue color, like mercury. "Are you okay?" she asked. Naruto's only reply was a sharp nod. Naruto looked down towards his feet a few seconds later. He felt bad; because of him, she had to hurt someone. He hated it when people had to protect him. "Yes... Umm…Why did you help me? No one ever cares about me, or tries to help me." He said his foot digging into the dirt. "Well I'm not everyone... My name is Kage. Who are you?" Kage greeted as she extended her hand. "I'm Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." He responded as he took her hand, nervous at her reaction. Everyone reacted to his name. Kage gave a toothy grin, closing her eyes and tilting her head. "Well then Naruto, I think you and I can be good friends". She said. Naruto smiled slightly. "Hai..." He said.
She nodded her head, and took a seat beside him. "You don't like people helping you… do you?" She asked. Naruto's eyes widened and he looked up at her. He then looked to the ground again. "It is not that… I just want to be able to protect myself…" He mumbled. Kage tilted her head watching him. "Well, how about I help you?" She asked. His head shot up and he starred at her. "What?" He asked in disbelief. She chuckled slightly. "If I help you get stronger… You have to do me a favor…" She said, pushing her swing back and forth. Naruto frowned slightly. He knew there was a catch. He thought it over. He wanted to be strong… "What is it?" He asked after some time. Kage smiled at him. "You become my little brother." She said grinning. Naruto's eyes widened and he slowly grinned. "Sure!" he said happily. Kage grinned as well. "It's getting late..." She muttered. Naruto looked up and saw she was right. He jumped up. "I have to see the old man!" He said and ran off; he waved behind him as he went.
Kage continued to sit there watching the 5-year-old run off. She tilted her head. Kohona was becoming a horrible place to live. No matter… She already had plans. The 7-year-old girl grinned cruelly her eyes flashing with malice intent. In addition, her precious little brother would not be harmed again. She blinked looking up when the sound of someone feet hitting ground was heard. She turned her head. Standing behind her was an ANBU member. His white and red weasel's mask glinting slightly. "Kitsune. You are late." She rolled her eyes. "Calm down Weasel." She said standing. She reached up rolling the kimono's sleeves up, and tucking them to her back, tying them together. On her arm, a Purple leaf like swirl showed proudly. She reached into her top, and pulled out a Purple wolf mask. Securing it to her face, she turned to him crossing her arms. The male shrugged. "Ai, tell me on our way there. This is an important mission." He said. She nodded. "Whatever you say, Itachi." And with a swirl of leaves, they were gone.

Naruto hid his yawn behind his hand and placed his head on the table. He found being a ditzy blonde rather amusing. However, it was really boring to be stuck in the classroom all day. He glanced out the window at all the sunlight going to waste out there. Mainly that he couldn't enjoy it. His eyes moved over the rest of the classroom. At his side sat Hyuuga Hinata.
She was a shy girl, who had no confidence in herself. Though after finding out about her Clan he couldn't blame her. She was his best friend though. She had had a crush on him at one point. However, Naruto had pointed out that she merely admired and envied him. That and Naruto wasn't that attracted to females. To be truthful they scared him. After that she had become his best friend instead. Whenever she needed him he was there for her, him and his big sister. She wore a large black colored jacket, which hid her figure. After finding out that men where such pigs she had lost her like to them similar to Naruto disliking females. Though Naruto was sure she didn't completely hate males. She just had to find a decent one. She wore blue pants, and blue shinobi sandals. Her hair was blue and cut short ending at her neck, two pieces framing her face ending at her shoulders and the rest falling to her eyes in jagged bangs. Ever since Kage had started helping her she had gotten much better. Her eyes weren't always lowered and meek, and she didn't try to stay silent and out of the spot light. Though she still had a long way to go, she was slowly improving. Changing her jacket form crème to black was one of the improvements. She had pale lilac colored eyes.
His eyes shifted to the person on his other side. Aburame Shino. The second person he considered a friend. He had spiky brown hair, and shades always covered his eyes. He wore a large trench coat that ended at his hips, and covered the bottom half of his face. He wore black pants and blue ninja shoes. Shino was a silent person. He rarely talked and when he did it was important. Shino was like an older brother to him. An over protective one at times, only Iruka beat him in that position. They had bonded during a Kyuubi festival. Shino had found him alone in the forest and had asked him what was wrong. Kage had told Naruto that what he was was nothing to be ashamed of. If people hated him for it they weren't worth it. So he told him. Shino had merely frowned and said they were similar in a sense. Of course he didn't have a demon inside of him, but he did have his Kikaichu. Since then they had become comrades, friends, and then brothers. Hinata was the only other person he had told so far, but he no longer hid the truth. She had thought it over and simply said. 'Naruto is Naruto.'
Naruto shook his head slightly, blonde hair falling in his eyes. He wasn't really close to any of the others in his class. He sometimes hung out with Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Chouji. Naruto blinked when Iruka smiled and gave wishes for everyone to do well in the Genin Exam. Naruto nodded sitting up. He wore a thick black jacket a comfort, and burnt orange pants. Crimson sandals and a thick collar/small scarf around his neck. He had to pass. Not only to become a ninja, and stay with Hinata and Shino, but also for his sister. He wanted to see her smile again. His hand clenched on the pencil in his hand. He wished she would tell him what caused to eternal pain and suffering in her eyes. It had only become worse since Itachi's betrayal. Only that had brought anger and regret. He wished he knew what it was that had dimmed the strong willed, protective, and fiery girl he had met. Now she just seemed a cheap copy. The only time she seemed to come alive again was when he was hurt, or someone spoke badly of him. She was still protective, but she was also… so sad and alone…
