Lips of a Demon

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Even the various Succubus abilities that appear are pulled from various games, books, etc.

AN: I just cannot stay focused on one Idea, can I? So, yeah, here's another one! This idea was inspired by all the stories where Naruto becomes either a half-demon or a full demon. In nearly all of them, he is at least part Fox Demon. So, I decided to go a different route. In this story Naruto becomes a Succubus, but NOT a have-sex-with-anything-that-moves Succubus. Rather, more of a hunger-for-human-lifeforce-drain-souls-with-a-kiss Succubus. Needless to say, there will be NO lemons any time soon. I MIGHT put a couple in after Naruto has learn to control the powers, but that will be quite some time, and I will still probably not do any as a matter of principle.

Now that that's out of the way, I should warn that I have failed to keep up with Shippuden very well, so I can pretty much guarantee the Kyuubi will be OOC, but I believe I still maintained a suffiently demonic personality.

And, without further ado, enjoy!

Chapter 1: A Crash Course In Dealing With Demons

Zabuza was pissed. He was an Elite Jounin, an A-Rank Missing Nin, and one of the Legendary Seven Swordsman of the Mist. He shouldn't be able to be humiliated by a pair of wet-behind-the-ears, Gennin brats!

True, all they had managed to do was free their Sensei from his Water Prison Jutsu, but they shouldn't have even been able to manage that! To be fair, there was no way that the black-haired one should have been able to throw the blond like a shuriken, even if he was disguised with the Henge. The fact that he couldn't figure out how they managed it just made him even angrier, though.

This all flashed through Zabuza's mind in an instant. "You brat!" He cried as he turned to throw the Fuuma shuriken he had caught at the blond boy. However, Kakashi was just as fast, blocking the shuriken with a kunai before it could be thrown. Zabuza's initial reaction was to draw his zanbatou… but then he had another idea.

Zabuza had learned how to perform several of his techniques with one hand, so that he would be able to keep his sword in hand while performing them. He put that to use here, pushing forward sharply with the Fuuma shuriken to throw his opponent off balance. Zabuza knew that against someone as famous as Sharingan Kakashi, this would have little if any effect. Indeed, rather than being thrown off balance, Kakashi merely changed the flow of his chakra against the water, causing him to simply slide back slightly.

This slight distraction was enough for Zabuza, though, giving him time to perform the technique with his other hand. "Water Clone Jutsu!" He cried, as the water behind him rose up and took shape. Realizing what he was doing, Kakashi pulled out another kunai with his other hand, and threw it at the clone. However, Zabuza was already in motion, drawing his zanbatou just in time to block the attack.

The moment the clone finished forming, it drew its own weapon, and, completely ignoring Kakashi, shot out further onto the lake.

Straight towards Naruto.

Kakashi shifted to follow the clone, fully expecting Zabuza to block him, but Zabuza had another idea. Disengaging Kakashi, the real Zabuza ran towards the shore, tauntingly calling out seven words Kakashi never wanted to hear. "One brat or two, Kakashi. Your choice."

Fortunately for him, Kakashi didn't have to choose. Even as he chased after the real Zabuza, he formed a cross shaped seal with his hands and called out. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto grinned at first. They had managed to free Kakashi, and now they would win for sure! However, when Zabuza formed a new clone and the clone looked straight at Naruto, the previous feeling of elation vanished.

Naruto was not sure what to do, being unable to walk on the water or swim fast enough to get away. Then, Naruto's feeling of worry was compounded by one of betrayal, when Kakashi chased after the real Zabuza instead of the clone, though that only last a moment before Kakashi made his own clone.

Still, with the head start it got, it was painfully obvious that Zabuza's clone would get there first. Trying to buy some time, Naruto sunk beneath the surface of the water. However, Zabuza's clone was too fast, its sword slicing down.

Water muffles sound quite effectively. No one heard Naruto scream.

Kakashi's clone swore, even as it dispersed the Water Clone. The desperate swipe of the zanbatou had left the clone's back wide open, and a single shuriken dispatched it. However, a mere glance at the growing cloud of red in the water was all that was needed to confirm that it had accomplished its goal.

Acting quickly, the clone dove into the water and grabbed the sinking blonde. Quickly getting back up on the surface, the deep gash all the way across Naruto's stomach was immediately noticed. With the amount of blood pouring from the wound, the clone knew Naruto was in real danger of dying.

Cursing again, the clone sprinted for the shore as fast as it could.

"Wake up, Brat!"

Naruto's eyes snapped open at the deep, rumbling voice. "What the Hell?" The blonde asked in confusion. Naruto was pretty sure there was supposed to be a lake here, not some sort of basement or sewer. Looking down, Naruto frowned and thought, 'There should also be a wound there, but there isn't…"

"Listen, Brat! Unless you want to die, then get your stupid ass in here! NOW!"

THAT got the blonde's attention. Looking around, Naruto saw an orange coming from around a corner and hurried towards it. Around the bend was a massive room, with and equally large gate across it, with the ceiling to high to be seen in the dim light.

"About damn time. Were you trying to bleed out?"

Starting to get annoyed at the voice, Naruto yelled, "Shut up, you damn-" Then the light brightened enough for what was in the cage to become visible. "-giant… fox. Ah dammit, you're the Kyuubi!"

"Grr. You know, most humans treat me with a bit more respect, Brat!" The Bijuu said, annoyance. Then its tone turned more pondering. "Or is it terror? I've always had trouble telling those two apart."

Now Naruto was getting annoyed again. "Get over it, dattebayo! I thought you said we were dying!"

The Kyuubi had to admit that the kid had guts, but considering what happened with the last blond that stood up to it, it was pretty sure that it liked its humans cowards. They were significantly easier to eat that way. Getting back on track, it said, "That's right, Brat. You didn't magically heal that wound on your stomach, we're just in your mind right now. In fact, the way things are, I expect you'll bleed out before anyone can get you the proper medical attention. And that means the end of the line for you."

"What about you? Won't you die, too? And what do you mean, 'the way things are'?" Naruto asked nervously.

"What part of 'the Bijuu are immortal' is hard for you to understand brat?" The Kyuubi said haughtily. "I doubt that blonde rat that sealed me fully understood that either. True he managed to give half my soul to the Shinigami, but the Bijuu don't have entire souls to begin with. Each of us is one ninth of the Juubi, so we each already have one ninth of a soul anyway. Even if you die, as long as the other Bijuu exist, I'll still come back!"

Naruto interrupted. "But doesn't that mean that if all of you die at once, you'll actually die? That doesn't seem that farfetched if you're all sealed into humans. So much for being immortal, dattebayo!"

The Kyuubi glared at the blonde for a moment. "…I thought you were supposed to be an idiot."

"So? Most of Konoha thinks I'm a guy, but that doesn't make it true!" Naruto said, sticking her tongue out at the giant demon.

"…Touché." The Kyuubi told the tomboy. Then it got an idea. 'Why not spare my host, and mess with that damned village as well? Sure, I'll be sealed away a bit longer, but I've done pretty much all there is for a giant fox to do, anyway.' Despite what it would have others believe, the Kyuubi was kind of ambivalent towards being sealed at that point. Whether it spent it's time sleeping in a seal or out of one made little difference. Above all, it was bored. 'I'll have to make sure I can actually enjoy it, though. Now how to do this… Aha!' The fox grinned as it figured out a way to make the most of the situation. "Back on topic, Brat. 'The way things are', is that you are bleeding out, and while time passes more slowly in here, it does still pass. I am able to keep you alive with my chakra, but thanks to this seal, only barely. You see, I can only put so much chakra through the seal into you," 'Unless you draw upon my chakra, but no need for you to know that,' "and I need to put more than that through to heal you, due to the severity of the wound."

"Then what am I supposed to do?" Naruto asked frantically. "I don't know anything about seals!"

The Kyuubi had to resist the urge not to grin. This made it MUCH more likely for it to get away with its plan, if the blonde didn't understand its seal. "You see, Brat, this seal was designed so that it could only be altered with your permission. However, the one who designed it must have been in a rush for some reason,-"

"Gee, I wonder why?" Naruto quipped, while rolling her eyes.

Kyuubi ignored the interruption and continued. "but they forgot to design it so that it could not be altered from within. Thus, if you give me permission, I can alter the seal so that I can save your ass."

Naruto narrowed her eyes. "How do I know this ain't a trick to get free? Or do something else sneaky?"

'Damn, so much for the easy route.' Kyuubi thought. 'I can't tell if she's smart and faking stupidity, or just an idiot good at lucky guesses. Ah, well, Plan B it is, either way.' "The seal can only be changed in ways you specify, so unless you're too vague with your wording, you'll be fine."

Naruto crossed her arms, deep in thought for a few moments. 'Kyuubi might not seem that bad, he's still a demon. Or would it be 'IT'S still a demon'? Wait, that doesn't matter! Focus, Naruto! I have to be extra careful with my phrasing. If I die here, I'll never be Hokage!' After a few more moments of thought, Naruto looked up. "Okay, how do I do this?"

This time, the Kyuubi could not contain its grin, "Simply speak the permission to the seal, and it will be able to be altered in the way you specify." With one of its massive claws, the demon gestured to the representation of the seal on the gate, as it spoke.

Still worried about being tricked, but not able to see any way that could be unless the Kyuubi was outright lying to her, Naruto spoke. "I give the Kyuubi no Kitsune permission to alter the seal as necessary to keep me alive, but no further."

The seal glowed for a moment, before returning to normal.

After a few moments of nothing else happening, Naruto noticed the Kyuubi snickering quietly. "What's so funny? Did it not work?"

"You just don't get it do you, Brat? It worked just fine, and I can heal you at any time." The Kyuubi said with a Cheshire grin.

"Then why haven't you?" Naruto asked with a growing sense of dread.

"Because it turns out you're an idiot after all. I merely told you how to make it so that I could heal you. I never said that I actually would!" Seeing the look of growing horror and dismay on the blonde's face, it couldn't help it; it laughed. It laughed, and laughed, and laughed some more. Then, just for good measure, it laughed a bit more, just to make sure that the laughter was reverberating perfectly through its host's mindscape.

Naruto felt horrible. She had fallen for the Kyuubi's trick, hook, line, and sinker, and let it build up her hopes, just to dash them in an instant. As she felt tears threatening to fall, she glared at the Kyuubi and cried, "You never intended to save me at all, did you, you damn monster!"

Reining its laughter in until it was just a chuckle, the Kyuubi focused once more on its host. Seeing the bright blue eyes full of tears, Kyuubi knew that any being with a shred of goodness in their heart would have given in and helped her in that moment. 'It's times like these that make me glad I'm a demon.' Kyuubi thought, its grin only widening. Now that it had had its fun, though, it was time to get back to business and finish its plan before the brat really did bleed out.

"Actually, I do still intend to save your life." Seeing the blonde's eyes go wide, It knew it had her attention, and continued. "However, I do not plan to do so for free."

"Why the Hell should I give you anything? You just tricked me, dattebayo!" Naruto cried angrily. "Why shouldn't I just try to drag you to Hell with me?"

"Because you would fail miserably, and I would merely reform in a few years, head straight to Konoha, and use its burnt remains as a bed, lined with the corpses of its inhabitants. There's nothing quite like a good resting place, with snacks close at hand." Seeing that its host was sufficiently horrified at that outcome, it went on. "Now, we can either continue throwing threats at each other until you run out of time, in which case I would come out ahead, or we can find an agreement that we can both benefit from."

Naruto crossed her arms, gritted her teeth, and glared, before finally saying, "Fine! What do you want? And don't even think of asking me to release you, because I'd rather die and give Konoha a few years to prepare, than let you go after the village right now, dattebayo!"

The Kyuubi just rolled its eyes. "Believe it or not, Brat, I am perfectly content to remain in this seal, for now. At least as long as you keep amusing me like this. Seriously, the expression on your face when you realized I tricked you was the best entertainment I've had in decades!" Suddenly, its grin twisted into a cruel smirk. "Although, that time I slaughtered my way into your village twelve years ago is definitely a close second."

Seriously considering dying just to spite the beast, for a moment, Naruto ground out, "What. Do. You. Want?"

"Very well, in exchange for saving your life, I want you to give me permission to alter the seal so that I can share your senses. I'm sure you will provide me with plenty more entertainment that way." The Kyuubi said smugly, knowing that with such a seemingly simple demand, the blonde was likely to agree without further arguing. However, the key would be whether she agreed, or restated it with different phrasing.

The deal seemed pretty straightforward. Naruto didn't really mind either. She would certainly hate to be stuck in a cage with nothing to see or hear for years on end. Sure the Kyuubi was a cruel, bloodthirsty demon, but it had already been sealed in the dark for twelve years, so Naruto supposed she could give it this much. 'Not like I have much of a choice anyway.' Naruto thought bitterly.

Focusing on the Kyuubi once more, Naruto found that the grin was gone from the Kyuubi's face, and it was merely studying her with a blank expression. Seeing no other choice, Naruto said, "Fine, I accept." The Kyuubi merely gestured at the seal again, its face staying eerily blank. Naruto spoke to the seal. "I give the Kyuubi no Kitsune permission to alter the seal so that it may share my senses, but nothing else," Hit by a last moment burst of inspiration, Naruto continued. "but only so long as it upholds its end of our deal."

Again, the seal glowed for a moment before returning to normal. A chuckle rumbled through the room as an inhuman grin split the Kyuubi's face. "You're a fast learner, Brat, but you're still centuries too early to come out ahead in a deal with me!"

Before Naruto could ask what the beast meant, a wave of demonic chakra burst forth from the cage and crashed into her. Immediately, the blonde screamed, as it felt like every single one of her cells was scorched with the very flames of Hell. The last thing she heard before blacking out was the Kyuubi speaking once more. "I will save your life as agreed, but I doubt you will be the same as before."

With that 'comforting' thought, oblivion claimed her.

Naruto gasped as she bolted upright. The Kyuubi's final words still ringing in her head, one hand instantly went to her stomach, while the other went to her head, and she looked over her shoulder. No massive stomach wound? Check. No fox tail(s)? Check. Still human ears? Check. Naruto sighed in relief. 'Was it bluffing, or did the seal somehow stop it?' She thought.

"Are you alright, Naruto?" A voice from beside her asked.

Looking to the side revealed that the voice belonged to Kakashi, who was resting beside her. The blood-soaked bandages laying between them gave testament to why he was there.

Sighing again, Naruto said, "I-I don't know, Kakashi-sensei. I think so, but I really don't know."

AN: YAY! My starting chapters are getting longer! Now if I could just stick to one story… And yes, in this story, Naruto was a girl all along. However, due to her boyish name, boyish haircut, tomboy personality, baggy clothes, and attraction to Sakura, pretty much everyone except Sarutobi, Iruka, and Kakashi think Naruto is a boy. There are a couple others, but they will be revealed as the story goes.

So, Good Idea? Bad Idea? Liked/Hated Kyuubi's Personality? Let me know!
