Council of Nine
Summary: What if the jinchūriki were no more? What if they, with a few new addictions, had become the new bijū? What if Uzumaki Naruto, the newest Kyūbi no Yōko, had Uchiha Itachi for a mate?
Warning: As suggested in the summary, there will be YAOI in this story. If you don't like yaoi, then don't read it. Flames will be used to bake cookies, but constructive criticism is welcome.
Prologue
"Now, do any of you have anything to add to the treaty with the new clan of wolf demons in the north?"
Low murmurs of "No, my Lord." were heard throughout the dark chamber.
"If that is all, you may be dismissed." All of those presently in the room quickly left.
The young man sighed. "Kami-sama, that was terrible. I can't believe I'm the ruler to such idiots." A candle was lit, illuminating the man's handsome features. The unnamed god had sunshine blond hair, spiking every which way, with a thick red strand framing each side of his face. He had six whisker-like marks on his cheeks, bringing attention to high cheekbones and a strong jaw. His slitted blue eyes were shaped like a cat's, not too big, but not too small, with kissable lips, full and coral.
"Naruto, don't complain. You could have had werewolves for subjects, and never had a peaceful night's rest." The man, now known as Naruto, gave a shudder at the thought the red-head near him suggested.
"Gaara-nii, don't even go that far." The red head simply smirked. Said red-head had messy blood red locks, ringed tanuki eyes the color of sea foam, pale skin and a scar on his forehead in the shape of the kanji for love.
"So, what's going to be your course of action for kidnapping your mate?" Naruto glared at Gaara.
"I am NOT kidnapping my mate. He belongs by my side, and he'll be there soon. Besides, what you did to woo Hinata was hardly romantic." Gaara glared back.
"Anyways, we're going to be having a family reunion." Gaara looked at Naruto, astonished. "Yes, Sasuke will be relieved of his mission, but I'm pretty sure he'll keep the guys he's traveling with." Naruto and Gaara briefly looked at each other, and then nodded their heads sagely.
"Well, I'll be on my way. I owe Hinata-hime a massage." With that, Gaara was on his way.
Naruto sat back on his throne and sighed. He stared into the empty air, as though foreseeing something in the far future. He didn't notice his eyes bleeding to crimson red. "Soon, love. Soon, you'll be at my side, and I can finally claim you."
Somewhere in Amegakure no Sato, Uchiha Itachi sneezed. "I sense a disturbance in the force."
How was it? This is my first fic, and I would like to see if there is any way I can possibly improve it! Reviews will make me happy!
