"…You audacious corpulent pig. Have I or have I not told you that you and your family of swine may not set foot near my kingdom? Your filth stains my unholy lands! I have given you pieces far, far from here! Be grateful I don't trap you in human form and send you to live a hundred years with the disgusting maggots that I allow to live among us! Leave my presence or I. Will. Slaughter. You."
"Y-y-yes, y-your majesty." The Jikininki (1) hurriedly scurried away, leaving behind the uncultivated scent of rotting flesh. A small sliver of light pooled into the darkness as the grand red doors opened. The foolish demon looked back, but just as his beady eyes found the grand ruby throne, black tainted his vision. Bright magenta blood seeped from the two hollow holes that once held black, nearly sightless eyes. A gaping hole in his chest popped and sizzled as the veins and arteries hanging like cobwebs from a ceiling tried to stitch themselves back together. The revolting body slumped to the floor, as a melodious laugh echoed through the air.
Within a pale hand, a fresh heart oozed cruor, dripping long paths down the forearm attached. A small pink tongue darted past crimson colored full lips, licking the trail up to its source. The hand squeezed, producing a sickening squelching noise followed by a small thump as the heart was tossed away. A beautiful smile spread on those rose petal lips as the door slowly closed with one final word, "Eat."
Growling erupted like a symphony of barks and hisses. The lower-demon was ripped piece by piece, sharp claws and fangs digging into grey flesh. The helgrels (2) feasted at their master's command, while the figure continued to watch, draped elegantly across the glimmering throne, never moving an inch. Suddenly a frown marred the striking being's face, a low menacing hiss escaping those lips, causing the devouring helgrels to stop in their tracks and cower with their hackles raised. "My pet…What is that foul human doing to my beautiful Ten-tails?" the harmonious voice screeched, shaking the walls of the magnificent palace hovering under the cover of black storm clouds continuously raging full-force.
Down below on the trembling Earth, a man moved his hands rhythmically into dozens of signs as he stood before the great-tailed beast. It howled to its master up in the sky, feeling the weight of the sage's chakra pulling it down, folding within itself. A sword slashed through its single gleaming eye, cutting the tomoe in the center in two perfect halves. With another bellow it attacked the sage, blindly slashing and clawing. The man signed the last hand seal and with one last cry for help, the beast was pulled into the first jinchuuriki.
In a rage, the mythical form up above ripped apart the helgrels staying in its room, breathing deeply and heavily, whilst holding four gushing heads in its slender hands. A feral growl resonated around the high-paneled room, vibrating in the immortal's willowy neck. "Damn it…My poor pet…How dare he…How dare he?"
Suddenly, all was still once again, as the figure's eyes rolled back into its head, watching the scenes below once more.
The sage, knowing that the seal on the deadly fiend was only capable until his death, performed the order of signs to begin his Banbutsu Syozyo, the Creation of All Things. Within his hands, two balls of chakra flamed to life, one a dark grey color, the other a pure white hue. The Sage of the Six Paths released his Kekkei Genkai, feeling the newborn seal on his chest aching. Nine different chakra's shot out from within him, spreading across the lands far and wide, in a last chance effort to weaken the almighty tailed beast. A burning sensation replaced the tattoo and the fallen monster lay motionless as tall as a mountain in front of him. Sinking to his knees, the man thrust his hands to the Earth, closing his eyes from the world in concentration. In shock, two glowing irises stared back at him, narrowed in unlimited ire with the promise of absolute agony that had him shivering in fear for the first time in his life. As soon as the moment came, it was over, and in front of him sat a giant stone prison. With the last of his strength, the sage hefted the mammoth boulder off the ground and flung it high into the heavens. With a high-pitched whir, the rock hovered far, far away, smoldering a dastardly white amongst the twinkling stars. With one last breath, the Sage of Six Paths fell onto his back, breathing in the clean night air. His eyes began to close, his body quaking in fright, trying everything he could to keep them open, but the fight was a lost cause, and they slowly slid shut. Those eyes were there to haunt him yet again, gifting him with horrific dreams of graphic deaths of all his loved ones and the worst for himself, always at the tender hands of a beautiful, radiant being.
With lustrous green eyes like the most clear emeralds and flaming pink hair that hovered gracefully around a painfully striking face as if it had a will of its own.
Yes, never again would he sleep soundly, for just beyond the darkness of closing his eyes, the Demon King was waiting.

~\~Prologue End.~/~
Jikininki-a ghoulish demon that feeds on human corpses.
Helgrels-animals that vary from dogs to cats to wolves to bats, all are scarlet colored with pale glazed eyes, and play with hell-fire; only the demon king can control them {I made these up, so please don't steal them.}
A/N: Okay, this prologue is basically here to start off the main story. I understand that when the Ten-tails was sealed and split it did not happen all at once, but for the purpose of this story, I'm making it happen. I'm basically writing with the general idea in mind. If I got something wrong, please feel free to review and tell me!
The next chapter will be present day; everything has happened the same way, except for Sasori's death (for reasons that are probably self-explanatory). All of the Akatsuki are still alive because…they are my darlings and I would rather never watch anime again, than kill off my husbandos and waifu. Yes. I have a thing for bad guys.
Anyway, please give me feedback! Should I keep going? Is this a lost cause? It is good? Do I suck terribly? Should I give up ever writing a fanfiction again? I need to know these things, so if you could take the time to review, it would be greatly appreciated.
Love, love, love.
Kiss, kiss.
