I was unhappy with the fact the story is unfinished and how confusing parts of it became near the end, so I said fuck it and decided to do my own version.
I'm not hating the story, I recommend it. Give it a read.
OKAY, LETS READ THIS SHIT! I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR ANY OTHER ANIME/MANGA REFERENCES I MAY USE!

Chapter 1:
Christmas Eve…
The street was quiet as the snow gently fell onto the ground. The rigid air cold enough to bite at the fingers and toes of mortal men who were currently boarded up in their homes to stay warm.
But one person was out and about.
Akasha Bloodriver, Shinso Vampire and Master of Black Martial Arts, smiled brightly as she trudged through the snow to her destination.
Akasha looked up as she appeared before the house that belonged to her dear friend Kushina.
It had been three years since she last saw Kushina, and Akasha had recently recieved a letter from Kushina asking her to come over as she had something big to show Akasha.
Akasha smiled as she walked to the door and knocked on it.
"Kushina!" Akasha said with a raised voice. "Kushina open up its freezing out here."
Akasha waited for a minute before she took a few steps back and looked at the windows.
The top left window was broken.
Akasha was on alert and looked around.
When she was sure no one was around, Akasha smashed the door in and bolted into the house.
Her eyes widened when the pungent smell of blood assaulted her nose and then widened even more when Akasha saw Kushina sprawled out on the floor, her nine crimson fox tails ruffled and broken in places, above her husband Minato.
Both dead in a pool of their mixed blood.
Kushina's torso had been ripped open and Minato had his arm ripped off.
'Kushina, Minato…' Akasha thought as she felt her chest tighten and tears start to form.
The blood was partially dry, signaling they died hours or a day ago.
Suddenly she heard a sound upstairs.
Summoning the strength to move from her beloved friend, Akasha made her way upstairs slowly, drinking in the fact Kushina and Minato were dead.
After years of fighting, Akasha lost many comrades in war, but Akasha never thought that someone so close to her would have been taken from her.
As she made it to the second floor, the sound cleared and Akasha recognized as a baby from Kahlua, her step daughter, being a baby at this point.
Moving down the hall way, Akasha found the room where the cries were loudest and she entered and turned on the lights.
The room was a pale blue, like the sky, and there were many fox stuffed animals and many toys around the room along with a changing table and a crib.
Inside the crib was a baby boy of about a year. He had whisker marks on his cheeks, a pair of fox ears adorning his tiny head, and a single tail with a white tip.
He was flailing a bit as he cried.
Akasha moved to his crib and reached in, gently picking him up and holding him tightly and securely to her chest.
"It's alright little one. I'm here. No need to cry." Akasha whispered as she gently rocked the baby.
Soon the baby calmed down and opened his eyes to show that he had his father's eyes as well as his blonde hair.
He stared into Akasha's mint green and he hiccupped before smiling a toothless grin and giggled as he reached out to her.
'Is this what you wanted to show me Kushina?' Akasha thought as she held out a finger for the boy and he grabbed it.
Akasha looked around the house and found the baby's birth certificate, his name being Naruto Uzumaki, and something that made Akasha choke a bit.
Paperwork for her to become Naruto's Godmother if anything happened to them.
"Kushina, Minato," Akasha whispered as some of her tears fell onto little Naruto's face. "I promise I'll take care and love your son."
Walking down stairs Akasha looked at Minato's and Kushina's bodies. Using sealing arts taught to her by her teammate, Akasha sealed them away.
Akasha walked out, holding Naruto closer to her since the cold, and set the small house ablaze before she ran to the neighbor's house and the Fire Department was called in to deal with the burning house as Akasha found a safe spot and teleported to her home in Europe.
Shuzen Manor…
"Welcome back Lady Akasha…. Who is that?" A young maid named Zest asked. (1)
Akasha looked at Zest, a vampire-rabbit Yokai, and smiled.
"He is my Godson." Akasha stated before she gently handed the sleeping babe to the preteen so she could remove her winter attire. "I found him and I am going to take care of him."
"But Lady Akasha, Lord Shuzen won't be happy." Zest said slightly panicked.
"Don't worry about him." Akasha said warmly as she took Naruto back and gestured to Zest to follow her.
Zest caught up with her mistress and looked at the babe and could not help but awe at his cute fox features.
"What is his name?" Zest asked curiously.
"Naruto." Akasha answered as the two of them made their way to the nursery.
Inside was all sorts of baby related things and supplies and a crib holding Kahlua, Issa Shuzen's daughter with Gyokuro Shuzen.
Kahlua had the same skin color as her mother and the same hair color.
She was sleeping soundly as the Lady of the House and the maid quietly made their way to the crib and Zest carefully opened the blankets to let Akasha slip Naruto in next to Kahlua.
Kahlua shifted a bit and her chubby hand subconsciously tapped the new heat source making Naruto tear up a bit in annoyance before Kahlua stopped and snuggled next to Naruto. His tail swayed and then covered the two of them, making an adorable scene for the two women.
"Akasha? What are you doing in here?"
Akasha and Zest turned and the maid stood ramrod straight before bowing.
"Evening, Lord Shuzen." She said politely and slightly scared.
Issa Shuzen ignored Zest and kept his focus on his wife.
"I am putting my godson to sleep, nothing more, dear." Akasha stated nicely and calmly as she did not want to wake the babes.
Issa had a look of confusion before he looked in the crib and saw his daughter hugging a fox.
"The Kyubi had a brat of her own?" He questioned with a tone full of disdain.
"I was surprised to." Akasha stated as she made her way out of the room, pulling Issa out and dismissed Zest of her duties. "I did not even know Kushina was pregnant. She made me Godmother."
Issa frowned.
"I don't want him in this mansion." Issa stated bluntly.
"And why not?"
"He isn't a vampire. This sacred home of our ancestors would be sullied if we kept another yokai here." Issa replied.
"All this because Kushina was able to pull your belt off and they fell off in front of everyone?" Akasha asked deadpanned.
She knew why Issa did not want Naruto around.
He did not want a constant reminder of his embarrassment around him. Issa was okay with most Yokai, but Kushina Uzumaki was one he would never allow in his home and her child was no different.
"Bigot." Akasha stated.
Issa almost fell, but caught himself.
"I'm not a bigot."
"Then you won't have a problem if I raise Naruto here with Kahlua."
"I don't want him here."
"Then you are proving you are a bigot, you filthy racist." Akasha declared pointing an accusing finger at her husband.
Issa watched as Akasha metaphorically dug in her heals and put her hands on her hips.
'Damn it what did I do to deserve this.' Issa thought as he looked at Akasha's determined face.
"I'll allow the boy to be raised here. But he will be a servant to our children." Issa said clearly and with power.
"He is my Godson, not a servant. He is a fourteen month old baby so he is going to be the oldest of our children." Akasha said continued to stand on her soap box.
Issa and Akasha continued to butt heads late into the night and soon it was decided.
Skip, five years later…
Naruto, six years old, hummed as he placed the roast in the oven at 350 degrees and set the timer.
His tail curled in a ball with a hair net and his ears flat against his head.
It was mid-afternoon and Naruto decided to start making dinner early for his sisters.
Just over a year ago Akasha got pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl whom she named Moka Akashiya.
"Naruto, I'm hungry." Kahlua, age five, muttered as she walked into the massive kitchen with Moka, age 1, wobbling besides her holding her sisters hand.
Her curious ruby red eyes looking at her brother and around seeing the shiny surfaces. Her long silver hair reached her mid back.
"Dinner isn't for another few hours and we just had lunch." Naruto stated as he pulled the hair net off his tail, letting it uncurl, much to Moka's joy.
The chibi vampire let go of her older sister's hand and made her way to Naruto only to fall but was caught by the object of her desire, his tail.
Moka giggled as she rubbed her face into his fur, clinging to the furry appendage.
"Na-na, tickly." Moka garbled as she was still learning how to talk.
Naruto chuckled as he moved his tail up and down before he heard Moka cry no when Zest appeared and pulled her from the boy's tail.
"Naruto you know Lord Shuzen won't be happy if Moka hurts herself." Zest reminded him as she soothed the infant's cries for her big brother.
"Na-na…." Moka cried before she smiled when Naruto made his way over and held her cherub hand.
"I'm right here." He said with a smile.
"I'm still hungry." Kahlua stated before she latched onto Naruto, hugging him, and sank her fangs into his neck.
"Kahlua…" Naruto stated. "Please ask before you drink from me."
Kahlua nodded into his neck as she drank.
"Too…too…" Moka babbled as she reached towards Naruto but Zest, being seventeen, towered over Naruto and Kahlua.
"Sorry Moka but you are still too young." Zest chuckled before she got a pout from Moka.
Kahlua finished her short meal and licked Naruto's neck of his blood.
His… his delicious… blood…
It was intoxicating. It might have had to do with him being a fox, but Kahlua did not care.
"Now, let's go play while we wait for dinner to be done." Naruto stated as he took Kahlua's hand and gripped Zest's maid skirt.
"Alright, what do you want to play?" Zest asked as she led them to a nearby room so Naruto could hear the alarm go off, despite being able to hear a pin drop in a crowded room.
"I wanna play house!" Kahlua shouted quickly with a large grin on her face.
Naruto pouted while Moka let out a sound of agreement with her sister.
Zest smiled as they set up the game.
Meanwhile, Akasha watched the small group of children she loved dearly.
Zest was the born into the family as a halve vampire-half rabbit yokai and when her parents died she was taken in by the head maid and was very close to Akasha.
Kahlua, though not her child, Akasha raised her with the same amount of love she gave Naruto and Moka.
'I'm so happy that they can be this carefree.' Akasha thought as she watched Naruto pretend to be the dad while Kahlua, blushing, was the mom and Zest was the family friend and Moka was the baby.
This was interrupted when Gyokuro appeared next to Akasha.
"I don't like that thing playing with my daughter Akasha." Gyokuro stated as she carefully walked next to Akasha as she was pregnant with her second child.
"Naruto is just as much a member of this family as you, despite not being Issa's wife." Akasha stated coldly.
Gyokuro hated most things, and the fact that Akasha had Issa's heart was number one.
As a Vampire Gyokuro was strong, but not as strong as Akasha, who was a Shinso and one of the Three Dark Lords although she had retired from fighting.
Gyokuro had decided, when Naruto was three, was to take her anger out on the young fox when she could. She would punish him for whatever reasonable reason she could make.
Although Issa and Akasha knew what Gyokuro was doing and would take over Naruto's punishment when they caught her.
Akasha watched Gyokuro walk off and decided she needed to finish her work so she headed towards her office.
Meanwhile Naruto was bored as he played House. He smiled but wasn't really happy.
He was a boy and did not want to play house.
His ears twitched and he turned, making Zest on edge.
"What is it?" She asked cautiously.
"I hear someone outside." Naruto stated calmly.
Zest focused and soon her ears picked up the noise of people sneaking around outside.
*SMASH!*
Moka started screaming when the windows were destroyed making Zest grab Kahlua and Moka and run while Naruto watched as several yokai storm into the room.
"Shit they ran!" a man stated angrily as he saw that Moka and Kahlua were not in the room.
"Grab the boy. We can use him as a hostage if things go south." Another man ordered and they all looked at Naruto.
Naruto tried to run, but yelped when his tail was grabbed and he was lifted up, making blood rush to his head.
"Okay let's go before Bloodriver or Shuzen appears."
Naruto tried to grab the window frame, but all he did was cut his hands open from the glass as he did.
"NARUTO!" Naruto heard Akasha shout as he felt magic swirl under the group and soon he was in a room.
Next thing he knew Naruto had been strapped to a chair and was being punched repeatedly by one of his captors and they were asking him questions.
Questions he had no answer for and when he could not answer it was a punch.
By the end of it, Naruto's left eye was swollen shut and he could not open his right eye. His body was riddled with pain and he was terrified.
"Damn it. The brat doesn't know anything." One of them shouted scaring the poor fox even more as his sensitive hearing made it louder.
"I knew we should have captured the rabbit with the two girls. She would have known more and the other two would yield more money." The leader growled. "We could have had some… fun with the rabbit and gotten enough money for the vampires from the slave auction house."
Naruto's ears perked up when he heard this.
'Slave… fun…'
"Yeah that rabbit is probably a virgin, making her more fun."
"That's because you like it when chicks cry when you fuck them."
"What's wrong with that?"
Naruto had no idea what they were talking about, but knew that what it was, it would have been bad for Zest, Kahlua, and Moka.
"Stay away from them." Naruto said weakly, his hands clenched as he spoke.
"What was that little bitch?" One of them sarcastically asked with a 'fearful' tone. "Can you repeat that?"
"You leave Zest and the others alone." Naruto stated again, angry.
He felt four of his teeth get knocked out when he was bitch slapped across the face, hard.
"Tough titty brat. Those girls going to make us rich and I'll take the bunny and fuck her right in front of you just for laughs as she will cry harder knowing you are there."
The man cackled as the six year old grit his teeth and his tail fur bushed up.
"What? Got something else to say?"
The man stopped laughing when he felt something dig into his throat.
The last thing he saw was a silver chain.
"ALEX!" the group shouted as they saw the chain rip itself out of the guy's throat.
Seven more chains shot outward and six of them stabbed the remaining three members while the remaining one ripped into the rope holding the boy to the chair.
The six chains were pulled out and torrents of blood erupted and covered Naruto in blood.
Chapter 1, DONE!
