Update 3/28/15 - Edits that I somehow missed.
[A/N] Hello! I've never written a fanfiction before. It's my first time writing something creative since high school.I'm well aware its an odd pairing and not very realistic. I have yet to see this paring other then Naruto/Kurenai. The first few chapters may be slow. I won't be changing their ages. I apologize for my grammar in advanced.
Naruko will be completely different. Due to some changes in the history and her parents. There will be a slight AUish vibe I suppose. Some characters may be a bit different from the original, but I will try to keep them as close as possible. I'm not sure if I should have her name be Naruko or something else or not yet. I'll figure out, as I write the next chapter. Have fun reading.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of its characters.
This is a FemNaru/Kurenai pairing no harem. [Warning Yuri GirlxGirl]
Warning - This chapter has some graphical content and adult themes (Implied rape and violence) Skip the first line break if you don't want to read it.
Chapter 1: Mother's delight
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled out of the window overlooking the village. The aged man had a peaceful morning for once. Usually his mornings consisted of paper work and even more paper work. He decided to take a walk and get some fresh air. Although his true objective was to head to the orphanage. He had been hearing rumors about a girl with kitsune features. He was quite concerned because there could be only one person who matched that description. They were never found and reported as dead. The rumors started three years ago, but only recently has it made its way around the village.
He greeted the people as he walked by with a smile and a polite nod. As soon as he made his way out of the main part of the village his smile dropped. The closer to the orphanage he was he felt something was off. His intuition was right as he hard a man screaming at the top of his lungs.
"The demon! She's unleashed, may Kami-sama save the rest of you," the man shouted as he dropped to the ground and his life was no more.
What bothered the old man most was the man had no clothes on. He ran as fast as he could and decided to follow the trail of blood. He saw many dead bodies and all of them were mostly naked. He stopped when he almost tripped on something. His eyes went wide as he covered his privates with his hands and shivered for a split second before getting his resolve back to continue.
As he got closer to the gate the bodies started to increase. He wanted to lose his lunch, but he held it in due to his experience in the field. He could see even small bodies among the many that were dead. His worst fears came into play. Never the less he ran passed the open gates to hear someone shouting.
"Please spare me! I'm sorry!" The man said and he screamed in pain as a red chakra nail pierced his body.
"Aww are you hurt? Are you in pain? Your begging for mercy after the many times I asked for it? Are you scared to die? Don't worry, I'll make it as painful as possible,"the girl said manically. The old man realized she was painted in blood and semen.
Did the Kyuubi take over? There is no way a three year old could talk so fluently. Hiruzen thought as he tried to dash to save the man.
"Go away fool! I have no reason to kill you," the girl roared at Hiruzen sending him into a tree.
When he came to, he could hear the screams slowly get more quiet, and finally he heard gurgling from the man the girl was stabbing.
"No more blood? I broke my toy, its really a shame! I was hoping to enjoy your screaming for longer," the girl said with a sadistic smile. She began stabbing the man with her red chakra nails.
The girl looked bored and a black ball started to form in front of her mouth. It was getting bigger by the second.
"Tenzo!" Hiruzen shouted as he got back on his feet.
The ground began to shake and several wooden pillars appeared from the ground. They had faces that looked like foo dogs and they had lit wicks on the top of them. The wooden pillars rushed at the girl pinning her to the ground and absorbing the red chakra.
"Hokage-sama are you alright?" Tenzo asked.
"Thank you Tenzo, but I am fine, I was just dazed for a bit. I didn't feel any malicious intent from the girl towards myself at least. I believe she just wanted to destroy the building," Hiruzen said sighing as he watched Tenzo run into the woods and hurled his lunch. It was clear he didn't register the many bodies on the ground nor they conditions.
The rest of team Ro appeared and they too had lost their breakfast and lunch. He waited for the team to finish before he would speak. It took several more minutes until they were done.
"Neko, I want you to bring her to my private hospital room and get her cleaned up. I want you to guard the door while I wait for her to wake up. Do not let anyone in the room besides Hikari and myself. Get the rest of the anbu to clean this up and I want the rest of team Ro to investigate! I want your reports by the end of the day," Hiruzen said shouted as they nodded and Weasel disappeared in a swirl of leaves. While Inu went inside of the orphanage.
Hiruzen waited in his private room in the hospital. Eventually Neko came back with the girl who was now in a hospital gown. However she was still unconscious. The young teenage girl placed the child on the bed gently.
A young woman walked into the room. She had green hair and yellowish eyes and began setting up a IV drip. She wore glasses with silver rims. She wore a simple beige kimono. She pushed up her glasses as Neko came inside with the girl who was now in a hospital gown. Hikari had a grim expression on her face as did Hiruzen when they could see her bones through her skin. Hikari had left to setup a IV system that allowed bags for feeding and hydration. The other bag that was setup was a blood infusion.
The woman came back later with more equipment. She also began to clean them just in case they were not hygienic for use.
"I don't see anything besides malnutrition," Hikari said as her hands were glowing green.
"All her injuries healed rather quickly. I also cleaned her since she is unable to do so herself," Neko said as Hikari nodded and pushed the bridge of her glasses up. The anbu walked outside to guard the door with the old tired man.
"Upon investigation, we found the room she was held in. It had no windows, and there were various shackles to keep her chained to a corner of the room. They fed her urine, fecal manner, rotten food and even broken glass. We found quite a lot in the matron's journal" Inu said with a slight pause.
The old man cupped his face and shaking his head as the leader of the anbu team Ro was giving him the report. Hiruzen let out a deep sigh as he took the journal and began reading. Inu had left at this point to guard the door with Neko. Suffice to say he was very disturbed what was written on here. It turned out that the matron had found her on the door steps to the orphanage. She had kept to herself about the existence of the baby.
Tears started to form around his eyes. It was clearly written that she let men and women inside the orphanage. She let them have their way with her and do what they wanted. She kept total of the number of adults, teens and young kids that came in to hurt the girl. The matron even encouraged the other orphans to inflict pain.
His eyes went wide as he saw another entry not related to the girl. The matron had been letting Danzo and Orochimaru take orphans in exchange for ryo. Regardless it still wasn't enough to convict Danzo, as he could just deny the claim.
He sighed as his favorite student and his best friend had fallen that low. Even if Orochimaru had already became a missing nin. He knew he would have to do something about Danzo. He's been undermining him for years. All he needed to do was wait for the right opportunity. He turned to look at the unconscious girl with a sad smile.
"I want you two to guard the door," Hiruzen said as the two anbu nodded. The old man walked back into the room.
Kami save me from their wrath. I know I'm a dead man already when I pass. Hiruzen thought sadly to himself.
"I think we are going to need to inform the daimyo. Considering she has kitsune features.. no doubt will she be a target," Hikari said.
"Hiro-dono won't do anything, he's to fickle," Hiruzen said as Hikari smiled.
"Oh... you didn't hear his daughter Megumi-sama took over. He and his wife were killed three years ago during the coupe," Hikari said as this was a surprise to Hiruzen.
"I see, is she trust worthy?" Hiruzen asked.
"Hokage-sama with all due respect, even you know you don't have the power to protect her at all times. The council can overrule you and you've given them quite a lot of power. We've already failed once already, due to our oversight. Do you think its worth to fail a second time?" Hikari asked as Hiruzen went pale.
"What is she like?" he asked.
"She's not like her father, she makes all the decisions," Hikari said pushing up her glasses.
"Alright, you can go inform her and I will accept any punishment she sees fit for my oversight. Kami.. I need a vacation or something," Hiruzen said tiredly.
"Well I can ask when I go," Hikari said as she was typing as Hiruzen nodded with a smile.
"Wake up soon," Hiruzen said looking at the tiny figure in the bed.
The child found herself in blackness and she saw nothing looking around. The only sound she heard was of flowing water and the sound of water drops hitting the water. It was very shallow as her feet were not under water. It reached the bottom of her foot.
She knew deep down she deserved to die for killing a lot of people. Yet at the same time she felt like they all deserved it. She couldn't lie to herself and say she didn't enjoy it. However she also felt guilty for committing those actions. As far as she could remember, she knew she was different. Always being treated differently. She didn't understand why this happened to her. The hatred, their malice towards her. She could feel it all directed towards her.
A small torch was lit and a small portion could be seen. She moved her eyes towards the torch. She could see the dreary blue colored walls. She walked to the opposite end only to be blocked by what seemed like another wall. She touched the nothingness and found that it was very cold. She made her way forward as more torches started to be lit. She did not know how it was possible, but it was better than sitting in the darkness.
She continued to walk, but she felt tired from the walking. The girl stopped to take a rest and wondered why she had animal features. No one else in the orphanage had them. She wondered if that was the reason she was treated poorly.
She remembered the one time they brought a stray cat into the room expecting her to eat it. The cat curled into a ball and began suckling its tail. That was the first time she had meat before and she apologized for to it. She was hungry, very hungry, if this happened a second time she doubted she had the heart to eat another fuzzy creature. After all she could be a fuzzy creature herself, which explained why she had animal features.
She found herself so very tired as she laid down on the ground. She curled into a ball the best she could. She began mimicking the cat and began gently suckling her tail. She felt more calm and at ease as she began making a purr like sound, She closed her eyes slightly and reopened them. Each time she closed her eyes even more until she fell asleep.
Meanwhile three months had passed since the three year old was hospitalized. Hikari was astonished as she was looking at the data from the laptop.
"She should be awake right now," Hikari said pushing up her glasses.
"What do you mean?" Hiruzen asked.
"Take a look at the monitors. Coma refers to a state of general brain failure characterized by major depression of level consciousness," Hikari said as the young woman pushed up her glasses.
"Can you explain in a way I understand," Hiruzen asked dumbly. He was a wise man, but in terms of medical experience he was no expert.
"You know that sleep is characterized by a highly organized and complex electrical brain activity. It can be reversed you know. With stimulation a sleeping person can wake up to a state of alertness. Coma is characterized by slowing and depression or decline of electrical brain activity. No matter how much she is stimulated they are incapable of being alert. If you look at the monitors her brain activity is off the charts. She should be awake, but yet she is still in comatose. I don't really know why. If she doesn't wake up in the next nine months, her chances of her waking are going to be lowered dramatically," Hikari explained as she pushed up her glasses again.
"I see, well I will be back next weekend. I have to go back to Konoha now. If I had the luxury of staying here I would. If there is any changes or if she wakes up let me know," Hiruzen said as Hikari nodded. He paused before his hand reached the door knob.
"I'll write to Tsunade and see if I can get her to come here," Hiruzen said as he turned the knob and looked at the girl one last time before leaving.
The girl awoke immediately as something had touched her leg. She turned back to see a green vine with thorns wrapping around her leg in a slow manner. She noticed yellow fluids covering the thorns. She was able to move her leg without getting any injuries and the liquid touching her. She noticed there were many vines slowly coming from all directions. She began to run, but due to how tiny and small she was, she tired eventually and couldn't out run the vines. She was panting for breath as they slowly tried to grab at her. She moved out of the way and wondered how she is going to get out of this.
"Think of a fuzzy looking animal," the voice rang out using words she could understand. Although she imagined a the cat with her kitsune features.
She started to change into a snow white kitsune. She didn't understand why she changed, but she didn't question it. She began to run on her paws and dodging the vines that were lashing at her. She kept running and saw there were no torches light up in that area. She continued to run forward regardless of there not being any light.
"Open your eyes child and you will see the light," a female voice rang throughout the hall.
Her eyes were open but she didn't see anything still. She couldn't understand what that had meant either.
A vine came from under the ground and wrapped around her tiny paw pulling her down. She let out a yelp as she was dragged to the floor and the vines were wrapping around her. The thorns were pressing into her fur and she began bleeding.
She felt helpless and tired as she could feel her being wrapped and crushed slowly by the vines. She started to close her eyes. The liquid invading her body as she was trying to stay awake. Very sleepy. Naruko thought to herself.
"It's not your time to die yet little kit. Wake up and go towards the light or you will be swallowed by the darkness! If you don't want to die, than feel the power within you! Draw on it once more," the voice rang out.
It would be so easy for her to just give up and forget everything. She wanted to give up and close her eyes. She wanted to be a forgotten memory of history that no one remembered. At least than her torment and treatment would end finally. She closed her eyes and decided to sleep. She had no real reason to keep going.
A red headed woman appeared in her mind. She had violet eyes and she had a smile on her face. She had blood coming out of her mouth and yet she was holding a baby in her arms. She heard a voice of the speaking woman.
"I'm sorry, we never could decide on a a name for you. We would argue for hours about your name. The closest we got was Naruto from Jiraiya's book. We didn't want Tsunade to tell us what gender you were. We wanted to it to be a surprise. We both had assumed it would have been a boy. However it turns out your a beautiful baby girl dattebane!" the red head said as she turned her head and coughed out blood. She made sure she didn't get any on the baby. The baby began crying and the woman began rocking her gently.
"I don't trust the village with what they will do to you. Considering you were born with kitsune features, and what I just did. At that point I was too weak to reseal the Kyuubi and take it with me. I hope you forgive your Okaa-san in the future. Although it was that man and Mi-Namikaze-san. The masked man ripped the Kyuubi out of me, which caused of all of this. I was going to reseal it back into the recess of my mind again and everything was going to be fine. I was unconscious at that point since I was impaled by Kyuubi's nail to protect you," she said and turned her head coughing up blood. She became more pale after that.
"I had gotten a promise from Namikaze-san that if something were to go wrong he would not turn you into a jinnchuuriki. That jerk decided to do it anyways. I hope your best friend doesn't betray you. Perhaps it was because he was jealous of her," she said weakly and turned her head once again to cough.
The red head was too tired to stand anymore and she laid down holding the baby to her chest. The baby stopped crying at this point.
"Your such a behaved little girl. Find a dream sweetie and don't stop until it comes true. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise," the red head woman said and coughed more blood into the ground. She was having trouble keeping her eyes open as her energy was slowly fading. Tears started flowing down her face. They slowly started to drip on to the baby she was holding in her arms.
"You're going to experience pain and suffering. Remember who you are! Find a goal.. a dream and don't stop trying until it comes true. There was so much more that.. I wanted to say, to teach you. I... don't want to die! I wanted to stay with you. I'm sorry, for being a terrible Okaa-san and leaving you alone. Forgive me... please live on for both of us... I love you," she said weakly as her entire body was aching with pain. She was trembling with fear from the thought of dying.
Her breathes were starting to become much more painful. Her vision was starting to blur and she could not recognize her daughter anymore. Her arms trembling to hold her tightly and she felt pain in her chest. Somehow she found the strength to lower her head, slowly moving to the babies forehead.
"You are Okaa-san's delight. I'll protect you from harm.. I'll always be with you, thinking of you... I love you," she said having trouble enunciating and speaking. She had nothing left, but somehow she used the last of her energy and willpower to kiss her daughter on the forehead her.
Her eyes closed slowly as she had one last glimpse of her daughter. She had a smile on her face as her eyes closed for the last time. The warmth the baby felt was fading away. She woke up from the lack of warmth. She began to cry from being cold. The recently deceased woman's arms still somehow wrapped around her baby protectively.
