~Prologue~
There are only three simple rules that you must follow in my world: One, don't fight your own kind, two, don't kill humans, and three, if you are saved by a human your life belongs to them. In one night my sister, Taya, and I managed to run into all three rules. Though, I was the only one that survived to accomplish the last one.
~FLASHBACK~
"Taya!" I paused to sniff the air. "What's that weird smell?" She narrowed her eyes as she sniffed the air as well. Then I slowly began to follow the scent even though she was telling me to come back to her. When she realized I wasn't going to listen to her she sighed and followed me.
As I got closer I began to smell and vaguely taste the metallic and perfectly recognizable scent of blood… human blood. My eyes widened slightly and I quickened my pace, Taya soon following after. "Naruto!" She called to me quietly. "Stay behind me and don't move. Got it?" She glanced at me as I nodded, then she smiled sadly. "Good boy." She whispered softly ruffling my blonde hair. Tears came to my eyes as I nodded once again.
With one last smile she turned the corner and gasped at the gruesome sight before her. In the alley were two of our kind with knives and swords, as well as a still bleeding human corpse. I heard the two laughing, but my eyes were locked on the body lying on the ground. My eyes were wide in fear, but I forced them away from the gut-wrenching scene and pressed my face into Taya's shoulder blades. I didn't realize I was shaking until Taya's hand found mine, and she brought them both to her heart. It was beating really fast. Betraying her brave mask and exposing her true withheld fear. "Naruto, I'll protect you. Everything's gonna' be okay." She whispered before raising her voice and attracting the attention of the two laughing boys. "You know that's against the law right? Both sets."
The boys whipped around and stared at Taya. "Yeah, and? What are you gonna' do about it kitty? Go and tell the council?" They teased in mocking sing-song voices. "Cause you know now that you and the little one behind you are witnesses right?"
Taya tensed and she put a protective hand at the small of my back pressing me closer to her. "I just thought I should let you know. We don't want any trouble." Taya's smooth voice surprised me given we were both terrified at the moment. "We just smelled the blood and thought a human was hurt. We'll leave you now and forget any of this ever happened." She took a step backwards forcing me to do so as well.
The boys smirked. "Sorry kitty. Don't think we can do that. How do we know you and your little brother won't go running to the council to strike a deal?" Before Taya could answer they continued. "That's right, we don't. So the only way to handle this is to silence you." The bigger boy smirked and chuckled, before letting out a lustful sigh. "And you're such a pretty kitty too."
Taya bristled and growled before she bit out. "Okay! Listen here mutts!" The two growled and took a step towards us. "I don't know who you think you are, but I'm sure you have no clue as to who you're talking to right now." With that Taya flipped he hair to the side showing off the swirl inside a circle she had below her left collar bone. Our clan insignia.
The two dogs laughed. "Should we be scared? Sorry, but the Uzumaki clan hasn't been all that scary since your parents…" He drawled out as if searching for the right word. "Left." I cringed at that and Taya reacted immediately.
"Just because we haven't been out much doesn't mean that we still aren't the strongest family in our world!" She spoke lightly, but it sent chills down my spine. "Now again let's just turn around, forget this ever happened, and go home before this gets ugly." My breath caught in my throat when she finished her sentence.
The two boys just looked at each other before looking back at us and smiling. Before I even registered what was going on, Taya had pushed me onto the bloody ground and was now fighting against the other two. It looked to me like Taya was winning because the others couldn't even land a hit on her, while she was landing blow after blow on them. One of the boys went down dead from a swift kick to the nose, and then reverted back to his original form. That's when the other one pulled a gun out of nowhere and shot six bullets strait into Taya's chest.
My already overloaded brain didn't register the severity of the situation when I saw Taya sink to her hands and knees coughing up blood on the already blood soaked ground. By the time my mind caught up I was hyperventilating and the other boy had already run away. "Taya!" I screamed stumbling and slipping my way to where she was still hunched over. All around her was blood and dirt, and I couldn't help but wonder; how much was hers? I stopped the thought as she coughed again and I dropped down next to her doing the only thing I could do; I cried. "Taya! Taya! Taya please! Please answer me! I'm sorry! Please don't die! Don't leave me alone! Please!" I didn't care that she was still bleeding heavily and she could barely breath, I had to hear her voice one more time.
Slowly she sat up looked at me with tears streaming down her face. In a raspy, watered down voice she answered. "It's okay Naru. You'll be alright. I've taught you what you need to survive." She coughed up more blood and her whole body jerked as pain coursed through her. With shaking limbs I laid her down on her back with her head in my lap. "Naru. Don't cry. It's not gonna' change anything." I tried so hard to stop crying, but I never could. "Naruto. Look at me." When I did, I couldn't help the new sobs that broke through me. "Naruto, I love you. I'm so sorry that I can't be there for you later on." Her voice began to lower and crack. "Go find a human named Sasuke…." She took a deep, pained breath. "Sasuke Uchiha. I've been looking for him… with you for the past few years… that's why we kept moving around so much." She couldn't help but chuckle a little and wince afterwards. "Not that you made it easy on me." She smiled and I saw her ears and paws begin to slowly take place of her human limbs. "Go to him… he knows you… he'll help you." Her voice dropped to a hoarse whisper and her tails returned. Her brilliant purple eyes, usually so bright and expressive, where now dulled and showed only pain and pride. "Please be happy…. Carry on with your life. Don't dwell on me for too long." Her body was shrinking rapidly now and her fur was growing just as fast. I laid my head on her chest and screamed. "Naruto, I'm proud of you. I-" She chocked and coughed up more blood. "I love you." She smiled and looked up into my eyes while cupping my cheeks and brushing away the tears. "I always will." And with that my beautiful, youthful, and loving sister slipped away. My Taya was gone and now her original cat form was all that was left.
Nuzzling into the bloody matted fur, I howled out my beloved sister's name into the air. "TAYA!" It was a blood-curling howl that only shape-shifters like us could achieve. I don't know how long I had been sitting in that bloody alley covered in my own sister's blood, crying into her corpse, before I passed out.
-Present-
When I woke up the first thing I noticed was the dull pain that radiated throughout my whole body. The next was that I didn't recognize where I was. And the last thing was the sharp pains in three specific parts of my body: my head, my chest and the left part of my ribcage. I narrowed my eyes and tried to remember what had happened. As soon as I remembered all my pain was forgotten, I shot up from the bed I was in and headed to the door. Just as I went to open it the doorknob turned and a beautiful raven haired man walked in.
"Oh. You're up. Um- you really shouldn't be walking around right now." The man said in a deep, velvety tone that made me shiver. "I'm being serious. You shouldn't be up." He took a step into the room and it shook me out of my reverie.
"Who are you? Why am I here? Where's Taya?" I growled out. Before the man could answer any of my questions I continued. "You have her body don't you! Give her back! Give me back my sister!"
He narrowed his coal black eyes at me in confusion. "What are you talking about? When I found you, you were hugging a dead two tailed cat and dying of blood loss from the gun-shot wound through your left side."
My eyes widened and my breath caught in my throat. "Well that would explain the pain…but, when was I shot?" Was my first thought, then, the next thing I did surprised the still unknown man. I sank to my knees like last night and hung my head whimpering, 'Taya.'
The guy didn't know what to do he was glancing at me uncertainly. Then when a huge sob racked through my body and I clutched my left side, he rushed to kneel by my side. He wrapped his arms around me, and brought my head to his chest. "If it makes you feel any better I have the cat you were with." My breath caught again and he paused to make sure I was alright before continuing. "I was about to bury her. Would you like to help?" I nodded numbly and he stood up. "Let's go then. She's in the backyard." He helped me up and I blindly followed him through the unfamiliar home.
When we finally reached the backyard, he pointed to the place he had planned on burying Taya, and I couldn't help but feel she would approve. It was beneath an ash tree and there were purple roses and carnations as well as Star Gazer Lilies surrounding it; creating a beautiful blend of colors as well as a welcoming, calming aroma. My eyes spotted the large shoe box that lay partially open next to the hole in the earth. "Taya!" I gasped out and broke away from the man's side. I reached the side of the box and sat down next to it, that's when the tears started anew. "Taya. Taya I- I'm so sorry. This never should have happened. It's all my fault." I vaguely heard the man walk up behind me and bend down before I started again. "I love you too Taya forever and always… I'll try my best to keep my promises and comply with your last wishes. I'll miss you Taya… my beloved sister." I opened the box the rest of the way and unhooked the collar from around Taya's cold neck.
The man behind me was shocked. "Wait! Wait, wait, wait. You think the cat is your sister? Are you an idiot! You're a human! She's an animal! Two completely different species!" The man yelled at me.
I simply turned my head and starred into his deep black eyes, in the depths I could have sworn I saw a flash of recognition before it was pushed back and disappeared. I narrowed my eyes slightly, "things are not always as they seem." I whispered before turning around again. "Can I please bury her now?" My voice cracked. "Please." The man was still bewildered but nodded anyways. I gave him a weak smile before lifting the box and then slowly lowering it into the grave. "Right after this I'll have to tell him." I thought as I placed Taya in her final resting place and grabbed the shovel. With a shaking breath and half smile I started dropping dirt over the lifeless body. "C'ya later Taya. Don't have too much fun with everyone without me…goodnight." As the last word was uttered I patted the earth and closed my eyes.
I heard the man shift behind me, but I didn't move. "Um, Naruto?" I whipped my head around and starred at him as he said my name. "That's your name right? I used to know someone named Naruto." He mused before shaking his head as if getting rid of a bad memory. I opened my mouth to reply, but he held up his hand to stop me. "It was on the tag around your neck. I had to take off your shirt to patch you up. I hope that doesn't upset you." I shook my head and continued to stare at him. He looked a little familiar, but I couldn't figure out how. He shifted uncomfortably. "Um are you hungry?" He asked to try and stop my starring.
I blinked and nodded. Then as we were standing he said, "by the way, I'm Sasuke." My eyes narrowed a little as I thought about the name. It sounded familiar, but I didn't know where it was from. So with a shrug and a final glance behind me at Taya's grave I followed him into his huge house.
Throughout the walk, I was trying to summon the courage to tell the Raven about what he had done when he saved me. By the time I could talk Sasuke had walked us to the dining room and was putting my plate in front of me. With a small sigh I looked up at him and noticed he was looking straight at me. "Um… thank you for you know… everything." I started lamely. He grunted in response and began to eat. When he had eaten a bit of his food I decided it was time to drop this huge bomb on him. "Hey Sasuke." He looked at me, a bit startled that I had actually used his name. "Um you saved me right?" He nodded slowly. "Well uh there's no easy way this, but um my life now kinda' belongs to you. Eheheh." I scratched behind my head sheepishly and listened as he basically chocked on the food he was eating.
"W-what!" Was all he could muster.
"Yeah… it's kinda' the uh law… of… my… hey are you alright… Sasuke?" Sasuke was just staring blankly at me. So I walked over to him and waved my hand in front of his face. "Hey Sasuke? Sasuke!" I barked and that's what snapped him out of it.
"That's not funny Naruto."
"Good. 'Cause it wasn't meant to be… So what did you want me to call you?" I asked hoping he was normal and not like some humans who went overboard with this stuff.
"What the hell do you mean, 'What do I call you?' I told you my name!" He was pissed now and I slowly backed away, I didn't do well with yelling.
"W-well there are some people who like us to call them 'master' i-is all." I started trembling when his anger only grew.
"Stop it with this nonsense! Your life does not belong to me! Now just eat and leave me alone!" Sasuke yelled as he got up and left me alone in the dining room.
I was still trembling as I raised my eyes and asked, "what do I do now Taya?" Then I got a brilliant- well in my opinion anyway- idea. If he wouldn't believe me I'd show him! Smiling slightly to myself, I left the way Sasuke had left earlier and followed his scent. It eventually led me to a room, on the upper level, that I assumed was his office. He was pacing inside and muttering to himself. I only heard, 'can't be the same Naruto' and, 'he died a long time ago' when I pushed the door open a crack. He didn't notice me and even though his mumbling was confusing me I knocked and waited.
"What?" Came his groaned out reply.
I pushed open the door the rest of the way and regarded the still pacing man wearily. "I'm sorry I freaked you out, but I had to tell you, I just didn't know how, so I went with my first instinct."
Sasuke turned and glared at me. "And that's how you thought was best?" He screeched making me shrink back again. My submissive part was reacting to my new 'master' quite fine.
"I'm sorry." I said again then took a step toward him. "Would you like to see why I said I belonged to you now?"
Sasuke glared and growled out, "no!" I bowed and exited the room going back to the dining room to finish the meal my new 'owner' had given me.
"Man when Taya was teaching me about this stuff she didn't mention that it would be this hard." I whispered to myself before eating, doing the dishes, and walking to my temporary bedroom. As I got inside something dawned on me. "Didn't Taya say something about a Sasuke Uchiha?" I shook my head and decided it would be best to worry about it tomorrow, and then I winced when another realization hit me. "I'm not experienced enough to hold my human form completely overnight." I smirked a little. "Well looks like Sasuke is in for a surprise when he wakes me up tomorrow morning, ne Taya?"
