Hey guys and girls.
Welcome to a brand new fanfic made by me. This is the long awaited fanfic I've been telling you about in Crimson Lord Naruto and Dead Men Walk Again.
As explained in the summaries from the two fanfics mentioned above, this will be a strict one pairing between two people. Kushina and Kyuubi. And as well, it will not take place in the Shinobi Era but one which is a different version. I'll give you a hint. Demon Apocalypse.
That's right. Not a Zombie Apocalypse, or Nuclear Apocalypse. But a Demon Apocalypse. I hope you enjoy it.
Enjoy.
Disclaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 1: The Things We Do.
In the world of the 22nd century, mankind faced a simple truth though to be that of another form of people trying to get them scared. Demons. Supernatural beings that supposibly held incredible powers and super human strength and speed. Not to mention a healing factor that was unparallel. These point outs were laughed at and discarded as just simple horror stories used to keep your children from going out at night. But we were foolish. These stories were actually true and were very much real. During a Christmas Eve, a Rift opened in a Church and killed everyone inside. The negative energies spread across the globe as more and more Rifts opened up. Contaminating the world in a sickly plague that fed off those who were considered easy prey.
This event was known and recorded as Lost Christmas. An event that will forever be recorded as mankind's foolish nature. But the reason why it will be remembered as mankind's foolishness was because of what came out of these Rifts. After 3 days of these Rifts culling nearly everything, a team of scientists went to investigate a way to close the Rifts were sent to the one located in Japan. As they studied a way to close the Rift a Demon with Nine red tails and resembled a fox, emerged out of the Rift along with several other demons and killed all the scientists there. And soon the slaughter began as more and more Demons pooled out of the Rifts.
Taking it no longer, Mankind sealed all major cities off in high walls. Taking in refugees and even 'helping them'. When in their actual goal was to create a new revolutionised army of super soldiers to combat the Demon scourge they all faced. The Exorcist Program was born. These people possessed incredible feats of power and could stay on par with Demons and win against them. But they still couldn't defeat the Demon with Nine red tails. It was just too strong. Exorcists, as they were called among the people of New Tokyo and various other places, were easily distinguished by other people, based off the strange tattoos emblazoned on their forearms.
These tattoos served as a constant reminder of their oath to the higher ups to purge any and all Demons from existance. They were respected and feared by nearly everyone as they held such cold auras around them. Every year a team would go out into the settlements and measure up every individual who was over 18 years old and enlist them as an Exorcist. Those that didn't show promise and potential, were cast aside and placed in positions of either working in power plants, raising crops or being Scavangers. It was strainuous work, but it was neccessary to keep the lights on and people fed and well medicated.
With the increasing threat of the Demons that came pouring out of the Rifts, they decided to class them. Lesser Demons were Sin Class. Just regular cannon fodder but could prove quite the challenge in larger numbers, ranging from F - being the lowest - to S rank - being the highest. Higher Demons were placed into the Seven Sin class. Ranging from Greed to Pride. And the powerful ones like the Demon with red tails were placed in the catergory of Demon Lord Class.
The ranking system was a little different to the one they gave to the Demons. The Exorcist one worked very much like the one from the Vatican. With Initiate being the lowest and Paladin being the highest.
Let us now turn our gaze onto one of the Exorcists. Not a veteran with 900 confirmed Demon kills under their belt, but one who had just become an Exorcist. Her name, Kushina Uzumaki. She was only 9 years old when Lost Christmas occured. She lost everything to that cursed event. Her mother, her father, even her little sister which was only 6 years old. Her entire existance changed to one singular purpose. To avenge her family. And to do that she focused her attention on the Demon Lord Class Demon. Dubbed Kyuubi. Oh how she despised that Demon. Everytime she closed her eyes she imagined herself standing over his corpse, laughing manicaly as his head was held in her one hand, sword in the other.
As she had become an Intitaite, a step just below Exwire, today she was extremely excited about it that she ran home. She would only receive her tattoo when they thought that she was perfect for the position of joining the Exorcist Program. She really wanted to get out there and kill every Demon that zeroed into her sights.
Opening the door she was greeted to the sight of her boyfriend. Minato Namikaze. Minato was unlucky of not being part of the Exorcists as he didn't show enough potential. His family was here, but it was only his sister Nakumi. He worked in the cornfields, helping out with the making of the foods they had. But with a drought on the horizon, things were looking grim. So he placed in a letter of transferral to be in the Scavangers.
Scavangers, as the name implies, are people who go outside the city walls and gather foods and other medical items. They were given a small amount of training to handle themselves in fights but against a Demon they were screwed. That was why when it was a priority one situation, a team of Scavangers and a team of Exorcists would go out and gather items while the Exorcists stood guard.
"Hello Minato-kun." she said with a smile on her face as she stepped into the make shift house and took off her shoes and walked into the kitchen and hugged him.
"Hello Kushina-chan." said Minato as he returned the hug.
"I have something good to tell you." said the two at the same time.
"Okay, you go first Kushina-chan." said Minato removing himself from what he wad doing and went to the couch with her following.
"Okay. I just finished the Exorcist tests. I'm an Initiate." she squeeled with Minato donning a smile for her.
"Congrats, you earned it. Now you can get revenge on Kyuubi." said Minato with Kushina nodding.
"Now your turn." said Kushina.
I just finished the paperwork for the Scavangers. I'm going starting tomorrow." said Minato.
"Congrats. You've always loved helping people." said Kushina.
Having dinner and then going to bed, Kushina could not even get to the point of sleeping. Reason being, she could finally kill Kyuubi. The bastard that tore her family apart. She could taste the victory. She could feel the excitement. Finally closing her eyes, she fell asleep and waited for tomorrow to come.
Tomorrow came by rather fast and soon enough Kushina was in her squad that she was assigned to. A Paladin by the name of Genma was with them as their supervisor. He wore regular clothes and on his back was a rather powerful looking sword. In his mouth was a tooth pick and his hair tied up in a bandana. Looking over his team he gave them a rundown. They were going to a few areas and kill the Demons that were infested there. Apparently a Seven Sin class Demon was there so he told them that he'd take the Seven Sin class on. Kushina understood as they were only fresh from the Academy and could not even go up against a Seven Sin class Demon yet. Kushina reached to her back and tightened her grip on her katana given to her by her Grandmother Mito before she died. She didn't die when the Demons came through, she died of old age. As well in the team was Mikoto, another person who lost everything to Kyuubi and sought revenge like her. As well as her closest friend.
Getting to the massive gate, they waited as the gate keepers opened the gate for them. What layed beyond them was a wasteland of nothing but sand bags and other defensive things. Kushina and Mikoto pulled out their weapons and walked with the group to clear out the monsters. This was going to be good.
A little while later after walking they stopped in the settlement and walked into one of the houses. As they walked in, Kushina spotted something in the corner of her eye. It was in the second story window and when her eyes landed on it, it vanished. Deciding to investigate it, they entered the house and began to look for any form of signs of Demons. That was when Genma received a call from New Tokyo Exorcist HQ. Stepping outside he spoke to the higher ups there. After his call he walked back in and told the group they had to do a Scavanging mission as all Scavangers were out. Agreeing to it they began to look for anything salvagable. That was when they heard a distant cry of a Demon. Readying weapons they continued their work while being on the look out. Kushina made her way to the top floor and looked around. Seeing nothing there she sighed, thinking it was her imagination, but she was wrong as a Demon dropped from above her head and glared at her. It wasn't just any Demon, but Kyuubi himself. He wore a black leather jacket, faded grey pants, black shoes and a Rolex watch on his right wrist. His black hair was slicked back and his Nine red tails swished around violently. Kushina just stared at the beast as fear began to grip her. All the talk and thought she had about ending Kyuubi died out when she found him just a few inches away from her face. But for some reason, he wasn't in his fox form. But rather that of a handsome man with charcoal black hair and pale white skin. His cold red eyes beamed at her, as if delving deep into her very soul.
Walking up to her with Kushina backing up against the wall, she felt as if she was going to die here. But that was when Kyuubi did something unexpected. Looking over his shoulder and hearing Demons coming to the house, he cupped a hand over Kushina's mouth to stop her from sreaming as the sounds of cries from her team was heard. The body of Genma went through the roof by them, his sternam ripped from his body as his face was frozen if horror. Things were getting bloody as the team was butchered. Kyuubi however turned back to Kushina and placed a finger on his lips, indicating she should be quiet. Pulling out his claws he slammed them into his right arm and drew a bit of blood. Removing his hand he shoved his one bloodied finger into her mouth, causing her to ingest the blood of the Demon. Instantly her features changed. Her hair turned a snow white, her nails grew longer and her features became more feral with her pupils becoming slits.
Pushing his nose to her neck, he sniffed. Kushina was terrified at what was happening. She had just swallowed a Demon's blood and now she looked as if she was transforming into a Demon. And now Kyuubi was sniffing her as if determining which piece of her would be tasty. But he never bit her as he pulled his head away from her neck and looked her dead in the eyes.
"Safe." he bellowed as he took her hand and led her away. Walking down the stairs she found many Demons busy feeding on the flesh of her comrades. Looking into the kitchen she found Mikoto hiding under the counter with blood plastered all over her. A Demon layed next to her and her face was riddled with fear. A Demon walked out the kitchen and literally payed no attention to her as it moved around the kitchen.
Deciding to move on, the Demons walked out the house with Kyuubi leading the horde. And Kushina being led by him. Kushina recognised the route they were taking. It was a route she used to take which passed the airport when she used to go to school. But that was when they turned into the airport and Kyuubi led Kushina to a private jet that was run down and had a bit of moss growing on the wheels. Pushing the door open he led her inside. Kushina immediately dropped into one of the chairs and got into a defensive nature. Kyuubi just looked at her as he plopped down in a chair next to her on the oppsote isle.
"Hungry." he said as he looked at her.
Kushina just looked away as if she felt that he was referring to her being dinner. That was when Kyuubi got up, hoping to try and sort out this mess. But his overwelming presence destroyed every notion of coming off as humble. Kushina just tilted back as she tried to create some distance between her and the Demon. Kyuubi, realising the depth of the situation, left the plane and made his way outside. He needed to come off as being nice. But then the questions were posed. Why save her? And how does he be nice?
Placing his clawed hand on his chest, he didn't feel any form of heartbeat. He didn't hold any form of human emotions and he didn't know what it was to be a human. That was the main reason they killed humans. They never knew how to feel and experience emotions. Seeing the humans do that just made them jealous and want to kill them for that emotion.
The heart was the best part. The part that made them experience what they felt unlike zombies who ate brains. They were different. They were powerful beings with unrivaled abilities, yet they were so dulled and uncaring that they just stopped being alive. Making his way to an underground area they dug up, he found a rather large portal they were still constructing. When the first wave of Demons came here, they were under the orders from Satan himself to create a portal for him to come through so he could bring them the one thing they wanted. Emotion. One person united the whole of the Demons to strive for one goal. The ability to feel.
Satan was different as he couldn't use the Rifts like they did. His power was too overwleming and would end up having the world burned to ashes before he even had a chance to play. So he need the portal to be able to go to the human world. But in order to power it as well, it need a power source. A large sum of humans had to be culled in order to allow Satan to cross over safely into our world.
It looked not even close to a quater of a way to be finished so he left and walked back to the plane he lived in. Being called a Demon Lord class Demon to the humans never really settled in at all. In the Demon tongue he was known as Denizen. Or better known as Great Demon. He along with 8 others, were the strongest of the Demons and were given armies to rule and run as they saw fit. Even when Satan granted them the promise of feeling, they still retained their armies. Opening the door, he found Kushina sitting there with a Bowie knife she found in the back, but it would do nothing should he attack. Walking over to the shaking girl he opened one of the compartments and pulled out a blanket for her. Fluffling it out he placed it over her and walked over to one of the many stuff he had in the plane. Picking up a record he placed it in the grammerphone and the song began to play. The song was calm and sweet to the ear and Kushina just stared in wonder at what he had just done. Normally Demons to her were just vicious beasts that didn't care about anything. She was proven wrong not even 2 minutes ago.
"Why save me?" she asked.
"Safe. Will keep you safe." said Kyuubi as he sat into the chair and looked away from her. Deep inside his still, cold chest, something miraculous happened. His still cold heart, gave a heartbeat for the first time.
And scene.
Yes I took the same scene from Warm Bodies but my sister wouldn't shut up about the fact that I should use that as a base point. So yeah, it's got concepts of Warm Bodies in here.
As well, things have taken a new turn as I told you it will not be like the Shinobi Era but a Demon Apocalypse. Infected humans who have been bitten and what not had the blood placed into them like Kushina has, will become Thralls. Mindless drones serving whoever bit them. But Kushina is different as she injested the blood, not being bitten by a Demon.
Stay tuned for more of A Demon's Humanity.
