This story is based off of Kamisama Hajimemashita, but I don't want to mark this as a crossover because none of those characters will be appearing. Just wanted to make that clear from the get go. Also everyone is really OOC. I own nothing guys. If you want this continued leave a review in the nice little box at the bottom of the chapter!
He, Naruto Uzumaki, was officially homeless. Not that it came to him as much of a surprise. At the tender age of seven his beloved parents had been killed in a horrific car crash, leaving him to fend for himself. Shortly after the accident an old perverted friend of his father's had taken him in. The man, Jiraiya, was the author of some rather... graphic books. But now the boisterous writer was gone as well, his life taken by a sudden heart attack. It had been just last night that the now 16 year old Uzumaki had attended the ceremony celebrating his life.
That brought him to where he was now on a cold, unforgiving park bench. The thump of his meager belongings hitting the ground yanked him out of his grief induced stupor. Sighing Naruto reached down to pick up the threadbare suitcase, also catching sight of a demonic looking fox. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. Though he was normally brave enough to face up any situation, honestly it terrified him. Its very eyes seemed to emit hatred, and its many tails, nine he vaguely noted, screamed "dangerous." Gasping the blonde let his things clatter back down to the earth as he flinched away from the oppressive beast. Unable to move further from the menacing gaze it cast over his still form Naruto remained frozen as the fox scrutinized him.
So naturally in his shocked state he barely registered the intense pain of the creature's pronounced fangs sinking into his lower arm. Barely containing his panic Naruto allowed a whimper to escape yet the animal didn't even spare his face a glance. To the blonde's disbelief the injury healed itself up almost immediately, leaving smooth, unbroken skin underneath a sinister splash of crimson liquid. His blood dripping down onto the bench Naruto eyed the fox warily as a new emotion appeared on its face. It almost seemed to be smirking as it placed its paw into the scarlet pool before bringing it back up to rest against his open left palm. Appearing satisfied with itself the creature's ruby eyes met the teary blue orbs of the blonde.
"Go to the shrine on the north edge of this city. Tell them Kurama sent you." Leaping gracefully away the brightly colored fox bounded down the street for a few paces before seeming to simply disappear. Strengthening his resolve at the absence of his new fear Naruto decided not to go to the shrine the animal had mentioned. The people at his school said it was haunted anyway, and even though he didn't admit it to anyone the Uzumaki did not deal well with ghosts.
Then it started to rain. The freezing wind whipping straight through his worn jacket Naruto snatched up his bag and raced toward the north side of town. By the time he entered the dingy old building the blond was shivering uncontrollably and ready for a hot shower. Then he was roughly shoved against the wall by pale hands, one holding his shirt collar and the other in a ready position the hit him.
"What's wrong with you, bastard?!" Someone was judging him before he even introduced himself. "Get off me," he grunted as he attempted to push away his would-be attacker.
"Tsk, it's just a lousy human," muttered the person holding him down. Almost lazily the stranger leaned back and let him go, as if he wasn't worth their time.
"Hey," the blonde replied, offended that the stuck up man found him to be so weak. Grumbling insults his eyes flashed dangerously as he examined the dark haired male standing in front of him. Upon his closer inspection Naruto realized that nestled among the man's raven colored hair were a pair of matching ears. Glancing down the man's limber frame his eyes alighted on a fluffy tail poking out from behind him slightly.
'Just who is this guy? What is this guy?' Suddenly the… Wolf? Yanked the blonde's hand toward him, palm up. His face and tone were laced with disgust as he studied the red paw print.
"I can't believe that Kurama chose a filthy mortal as his successor, especially after leaving me to do all the work around here," he snarled. "I won't serve the likes of you! My contract was with Kurama. Now that he's no longer the god of this shrine I have no obligation to be here." Without further introduction or explanation the over-confident idiot disappeared in a few wisps of smoke.
"Who was that?" Naruto anxiously asked the empty air. This day was getting weirder and weirder every moment… Then again, after meeting Kurama a slim guy with ears and a tail wasn't that scary.
"He was the familiar of Kurama, and he was supposed to be yours as well." The whispers of a pair of floating foxes yanked him out of his reverie, pulling his attention back to the present. Unlike the wild beast he had met before these creatures appeared quite tame, each a gentle white and possessing a single tail.
"Well he's a bastard. And who are you guys? I'm Naruto." Trying to get over the odd situation Naruto tried to civilized approach.
"I am Fuyu," mumbled the thinner one.
"And I am Soyokaze!" The larger animal practically yelled. "We're the tied to the shrine as the god's servants; it's nice to meet you! We look forward to working with you!" Fuyu just sighed and nodded her head in agreement. Clearly she was the quieter of the two. Their explanation made sense, so Naruto was ready to accept it until his brain processed that they were going to be "working with him."
"Wait what do you mean?"
"Welcome to our wind shrine Naruto-sama. You are the new god," they said together. His head spinning Naruto tried to comprehend what they were saying. His head couldn't quite wrap around it, but he was ready to accept whatever they said at this point. Besides, where was his life going anyways? Nowhere.
"Cool! Does that mean I get awesome powers that can level mountains, and split the ocean and stuff?" The blonde got excited at the prospect of having such remarkable abilities. His new friends twitched uncomfortably.
"Well I suppose yes," Fuyu answered slowly. "But you'll have to train yourself for a long time to get that far. Give yourself a century or two before you start trying to do those things, alright?" Excitement fading Naruto let what the fox had said sink in.
"What?! I have to wait for that long?! No way, I Naruto Uzumaki, will train and be that powerful before I'm super old. Believe it!" He paused. "Wait how do I do that?"
"I don't really know…" Muttered Soyokaze. "We have no idea because we can't do magic or anything. Only gods and their familiars can perform magic." His mind wandered back to Sasuke, the familiar that had left to… Wherever he had gone to. 'If I get him back I can learn the awesome stuff! I'll have to deal with his nastiness. I guess that's a small price to pay for cool moves though.'
"Alright guys, we're on a mission to find Sasuke and make him come back! By force if necessary. We're off!" Again, Naruto got ahead of himself and turned back to the pair of white foxes. "Do you know where he went?"
"He probably went to a world that is ruled by demons. That is where he used to live after all."
"He lived there?" The blonde asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"Yes, he used to be quite a threat to the human world so Kurama decided to seal him up by making a contract with him." 'He really does not seem that bad compared to Kurama. They have to have something mixed up.'
"Let's go get him! I can't wait to learn some awesome new techniques."
