The Land of waves. It was a very beautiful place. Long, Sandy beaches. Great people who would do anything to help each other. This is what almost anyone would say they saw when they visited., and it was true too. In fact most people would say that the place had grown more exotic after the whole Gato crisis. The reason for their regained beauty and fortune would be the Great Naruto Bridge that connects their island to the main land. Most visitors asked why it was named after Fishcake, the answer they got was that of a simple genin inspiring them to take back their lives. During the day, the bridge was covered with kids running around and carts and all manner of entertainers and merchants. At night, it was almost as if the people were afraid to venture onto the bridge, it was so empty and quiet that you could stand on one end of the bridge and hear a pin drop from the other end.
That was not so about tonight, though. tonight, there was a single man walking across the bridge. He was young, Seventeen in fact. He had a noble face with deep, dark blue eyes and long, silver hair with red streaks that was pulled back into a low hanging ponytail at the base of his neck. He was dressed in a pair of black khakis and a blood red muscle shirt under a black, denim trench coat with a pair of black finger less gloves on his hand and a pair of black steel-toed boots on his feet. You could see a blue, crystal necklace hanging from his neck and a sheathed sword in his left hand. The sheathe was pitch black with a red ribbon flowing off of it. The hilt, guard, pommel, and handle were also pitch black. The guard taking the form of a kanji while the pommel had a short black chain hanging from it.
There was one more thing about this young mans attire. Draped around his neck like a loose collar, was a headband. The same type of headband worn by ninja around the world. This headband was unique though. The marking found on it was that of a kanji that said 'Dark Slayer'.
Everyone who lived in the town across the bridge knew this young man as Arashi. Even though they could tell that was not his real name, they called him that as the only thing that he would respond to. To them, he was an enigma. He lived in the forest a few miles out of town. Every week or so, he would come into town, talk with a few people, eat a LARGE amount of ramen at the local stand, check for work, and go home with a bag or two of groceries sealed into a scroll. Today had been one such day. However, something different would happen tonight.
Just as he reaches the very center of the bridge, he stops in his tracks and smirks. "You can come out now, Kabuto." He says, turning to the right as another silver-haired figure steps out of the shadows, this one dressed in a dark blue uniform with a pair of glasses and a music note on a headband around his forehead.
"When did you notice me, Naruto-kun?" he asks the swordsman in front of him as he pushes his drooping spectacles back up the bridge of his nose.
"I noticed you and your flunkeys three hours ago when I heard one of your men cut the cheese!" he admits with a ridiculous smile on his face. Kabuto only sweat drops from embaresment, which does not go unnoticed by the teen in front of him. "Oh, that was you, wasn't it? Well, just as a warning, don't eat Paine's spicy ramen. The one time I did, I was breaking wind for three days straight, Sakura had me air out Tazuna's house and then she made me sleep outside." the whole time Naruto is talking, Kabuto just keeps blushing redder and redder till you could hear his henchmen giggling from the shadows.
"Enough!" Kabuto shouts furiously, leaking just a little killing intent. At which, everyone present, surpisingly even Naruto, stops laughing as the sound ninja that were hidden before, walk out of the shadows also to surround the silver and red haired joker. " Naruto Uzumaki, you are under arrest for destruction of property belonging to otokage Orochimaru."
"What, you mean those stupid romance novels he was reading. Honestly, how does someone like him even have an interest in romance. If you ask me, he only reads that stuff because he is to scared to ask anyone out on a date. If you wanna arrest me, you can kiss my ass!" Naruto replies, pulling down the skin underneath his left eye with his middle finger while sticking out his tongue.
"Why you, Kill him!" Kabuto shouts, signaling the other shinobi to attack. Before they take more than a few steps however, they stop as Kabuto can see Naruto running the dull edge of his sword, the blade of which is also black as night, along the top of the sheathe before sliding it smoothly back in. as soon as a small click is heard coming from the sheathe, the shinobi surrounding him fall apart as blood spray everywhere except Naruto himself. "How did you do that?"
"Simple, Kabu-chan, I learned it from kyuubi-tou-san." The former blonde says with a smirk before continuing. "And the names not Uzumaki anymore, It's Sparda, Naruto Sparda." And with that final comment, Naruto turns his back and swings his dark sword out of it's sheathe, twirling it several times before stopping it dead in the air. He then takes it in a reverse grip and slides the dull edge horizontally along the top of the sheathe again then switching his hand to a normal grip and sheathing the blade vertically with an audible click as it enters the sheathe and a small clink of the chain at the pommel. After both small sounds have passed. Kabuto's torso splits diagonally , the top half sliding of and falling to the ground with a clearly head squelch. Not two second later, the bottom half starts spraying blood every where as it stumbles on weak legs a couple of steps before falling to the ground with another squelch. "Not even a challenge." Naruto says as he reaces into an inside pocket of his trench coat and pulls out a demonic looking pocket watch with a silver chain connecting it to his jacket. He pops open the front, which has a howling horned skull on it, and looks at the time on the inside before cursing. "Shit, Rae-chan is gonna kill me when I get back!" with that, he stuffs the watch back into his jacket before he disappears in a blur of black energy, heading to his house/training grounds in the woods.
Raven Roth was not a very expressive person. This was because for the seventeen years that she had been alive, she had to learn to control her emotions through meditation and training in order to control the powers that her demonic blood gave her. She had very pale, almost white, skin and short violet hair and eyes. On her forehead was a small, blood-colored ruby. This was to help her concentration at most times. Today she wore her usual clothes, which consisted of a black leotard which hugged her curvy figure. At the ends of her sleeves she wore a pair of purple wristbands. Over the bottom of her leotard, she currently wore a pair of her boyfreind, Naruto's, black khakis and on her feet were a pair of simple purple shoes. Around her waist was a belt that was made of many half-orbs held together by a small but strong chain and was tied at her left hip by two thin tassles. Around her neck was an amulet that Naruto had given her. He had told her that it had belonged to his father vergil before he had died and passed it to him a few years ago. It consisted of a weaved silver chain and a silver casing that held a large, tear shaped ruby.
-Flashback -
She had showed up here a little over five months ago with no idea where she was. She had used a teleportation spell to leave her homeworld of Azerath to find a place where she could be safe and live in relative peace. Never had she expected to end up in a world where there were ninja that could use destructive elemental techniques called justu. The day she had arrived, she found herself outside a desert city called Suna. When she first woke up she was so tired and wornout that she couldn't even open her mouth for a simple spell for water or a cool wind. The last thing she heard was a pair of voices before passing out.
"Are you sure you saw something out here, Temari? We both know the desert can play tricks on a bored mind Hell you remember that on time when we were hanging out with Naruto and was looking out at the sand and said he saw a creature with a demonic arm wearing blue armor." this was a male voice, she could tell that much. She could also tell that they saw he arrival and had come to investigate.
"Yeah, I remember that kankuro, I also remember that you were stomed off of your ass that night also and that you were seeing little animated pixies that wanted you to…Hey, theres someone over there!" that was the last thing she heard before blacking out again. The next time she wakes up, she is in a hospital bed hooked up to a respirator. She can hear raised voices from outside the room, they seem to be yelling about her.
" I don't care, Temari! Okay, I don't care if your rules state that she can't leave Suna until interrogated. She has a demonic aura, which means she is either a jinchurikki or a hanyou like I am now! She will be coming with me when she wakes up and that is final!" this was a male voice, completely different from the one before. " I also know for a fact that your brother, The KAZEKAGE, Gaara agrees with me. If she is a jinchurriki, she needs to come with me in order to be safe from Akatsuki. If she is a hanyou, she can barely control her powers! She needs to be trained to use them properly and how control them better.! Besides, you can't order me around, I only follow the orders of a kage!" after that she can hear the female voice from before grumble something that sounds like 'Troublesome hanyou.' after that, she blacks out again. Several hours later, she next wakes up to find that it is dark and that she is no longer hooked up to any of the previous medical equipment. She sits up a little so that she is leaning on her elbows and takes a look at her suroundings. She is wearing a normal hospital gown and is laying in a plai bed next to a window that opens onto a dry, cold city square with a statue of a man in a kimono with strings attaching the ends of his stone fingers to a human sized object in front of him that looks like a marionnete made for combat. After a few minutes of staring out the window, she hears a cough from her left. She turns quickly in her bed, only to feel a sharp pain on her arm as the I.v. inserted into the vein there.
" Whoa, easy there, you ripped that thing right out of your arm." At hearing the familiar sound of the yelling male voice from earlier, she looks at the perso to find a young man around her age with a red and silver ponytail and a black trench coat. " My name is Naruto Sparda, my friends, Temari and Kankurou, found you out in the middle of the desert after a black energy surge. Do you know what that was?" So he was here to interrogate her. She opens her mouth to answer, only for him to start talking again. " That sutgre was very powerful, very dark, demonic energy. Since it is practically impossible for a jinchuriki to unleash that kind of power without destroying everything it it sees, I would have to say that you are a half-demon. I would even go as far to say that one of your parents was a greater devil, like my grandfather. You shouldn't talk now, by the way, your throat is probably rougher than sandpaper right now. If I'm right, just nod your head." the fact that he could figure out all of that just from the power that she used to show up here was amazing in itself, then the fact that his grandfather was a greater devil like her father surprised her even more. With a nod of her head he smiles and leaves the room without another word.
A few days later, she left Suna with Naruto and they headed south-west to here, Wave. During their time of travel, they got much closer than just his rather awkward introduction. A crush started to form between them. To Raven, Naruto was handsome, smart and someone who would protect friends and family without thinking twice. Plus, he could cook some of the best food she had ever had. To Naruto, Raven was quiet, beautiful, and someone who appreciated a good book. Plus, she loved to look up at the stars almost as much as he did.
After a week, they arrived at his place, and she was amazed. The building itself was two floors tall with a large yard in both the front and back. The bedrooms all five of them, were upstairs and most were connected to a bathroom while naruto's room had it's own.
Downstairs was the kitchen, living room, library, and dining room. The kitchen was fully stocked and had very nice, very clean countertops and utensils. It connected through to the dining room it had a medium sized table where five people could eat comfortably together. The dining room connected through to the living room and the front door. It was pretty standard. A widescreen T.V., coffee table, magazines, a couple of movies, a stereo, and a few comfortable looking couches.
The library, however, was what Raven liked best about the tour he gave her. It was of decent size connected to the living room at the side. It had a fireplace against one wall over which hung another O-katanna like his current one. This one had a grey hilt and sheathe and had a guard that would come up over his hands when used. (Mitsurugi: Damascus sword) In the center of the room was a large wooden chair with dark red upholstery. On the wall opposite the chair the chair was a large detailed map of the elemental countries with evry shin obi village marked with their own symbols. The bookshelves covered the rest of the wall space with everything from strategy scrolls and books of lore. There was also a large number of romance novels and other works of fiction, even some poetry books.
"This is it. It's not much, but it's home" is what Naruto had said to her when they had finished the tour and set her up in a room across the hall from his. " Out back is a training field for any type of physical conditioning and a meditation garden and a small pond if you want to go swimming. Make yourself at home, Raven." With that, he wnt downstairs to start cooking inner, which consisted of chicken-fried rice, fried vegetables, and some large fried shrimp served with green tea. That night after dinner, though, when he had been in bed for a few hours, she was reading a book she found in one of the bookshelves called Icha Icha paradise volume one, which she found to be very engaging, even for it's genre, she heard what sounded like sobbing coming from his room. She carefully walked out across the hll and opened his door quietly to see him crying in his sleep. It wasn't sad crying though, it was lonely.
Acting with her heart, she walked in and slid into hi bed with him and wrapped and arm around him. She held him closely as he unconsciously shifted into her embrace, putting his head on her shoulder. She fell asleep like that, holding onto him even after he stopped crying.
'For some reason, this feels so…right,' she thought before slipping into sleeps embrace.
-Flashback end-
Raven smiled remembering the next morning when she woke up to find him cooking in the kitchen. When he asked her why she was in his bed, she told him that she had heard him crying and that it sounded very lonely . He then turned to her with a smile on his face and thanked her. A few months later and they were officially dating ater he had finally got the nerves to ask her to the festival in town.
"Rae-chan," her thoughts were interrupted as the blue-eyed hanyou walked in through the front door his hair and face covered in Kabuto's blood. "I'm so sorry I'm late. I was attacked by kabuto and his men, they tried to follow me here."
"Are you alright?" hse says as she walks towards him and pust her hand on his cheek.
"Yeah. I'm fine. I just need a bath." he raplies ashe places a hand over hers. " I got the groceries though" At this proclamation,she laughs as he throws her arms around his neck.
"You are so dirty! Give me the groceries and I'll cook while you get yourself cleaned up." he smiles as he pulls her face to his for a kiss before reaching into his coat pocket and handing her a scroll before walking upstairs to their bathroom.
'She is so beautiful.' after his bath, he walks down stairs expecting to find his smiling girlfreind, instead, he sees three people he didn't think he would see for a little longer
"Sasuke, Ino, Hinata?! What the fuck are you doing here?!" standing in front of him was a group of three teenagers. Sasuke, a raven haired teen dressed in a pair of loose jeans and a black muscle shirt with a tan trench coat on and a chokatou sheathed at the small of his back. Around his fore head is a headband with a long black clothe and a horned metal plate that has the kanji for venom engraved on it. He smirks at the former blonde before walking towards him.
"Tsunade named me the snake sannin. I came to bring you back, brother. Jiraiya is dead and we need another Gama sannin, besides, we all want you back." suspecting a trap, he looks over at Ino who has a chrome battle chain wrapped around Raven(Ghostriders chain) who is standing next to her. Ino was wearing a dark blue hoodie with the konoha symbol stitched on the right arm. Her headband is tied around her waist holding up a pair of worn forest fatigues and a pair of combat boots. Her hair was longer than the last time he remembered it the last ime he saw he, going down to her waist in a braid.
Looking at Hinata, he could tell she had definatly changed. instead of her old bulky jacket, she wore a tight red t-shirt and a pair of cargo shorts over a pair of tennis shoes. He hair went all the way down to her back and her headband was tied to her arm. Strapped to her back was a tai-chi sword with a jade drago hilt with eight blood-rubies in the hilt and a wide, balck wrapped handle it two large yellow tassles flowing from the pommel.(The green destiny Crouching tiger, Hidden dragon.)
The sensing no trap, he turns to his brother and stares him in the eye. As he looks into those pure black orbs, he channels abit of demonic chakra to his own eyes, changing the color of his irises to a blood-red coloras his pupils thin and lengthen into vertical slits. "If you are lying,Brother, I will shove a rasnegan so far up your ass, that you won't be able to sit down or shit or walk comfortably for the next fifty years. Now, why don't you let Raven go and joins us for dinner, Teme."
Sasuke, staring into his friends demonic eyes, lets out a throaty laugh as Narutos gaze shifts back to dark blue and his face cracks into a smile. He opens his own arms and embraces the silver and red-haired blond in a hug as they both start to laugh.
"Could somebody tell me whats going on,…please?"They all hear a monotone voice come from Raven as she squirsm in the chain around he torso. "And could you let me go, I really need to use the bathroom."
-The World That Never Was-
Roxas was pissed. Not only was he being followed by a silver haired man in a uniform cloak like his and a blindfold, but he had a whole shiload of Heartless twisting and growling I front of him. 'Damn it! There might be to many for me to get rid of on my own, I'll just have to try and make a path for myself so I can get he fuck out of here and get to a place where I can make a portal out of here.'
Reaching to his left hip with his right hand and the jerks it back. A balck sword the closely resembles a skeleton key appears in his hand as he reaches to his right hip with his left hand and pulls back a white, keylike sword appearing inhis hand before he spins them around his hand and brings the tips together and clashing bith blades down to the ground, leaving large indention where they hit. "Come and get me!" he shout before running at the massive group of creatures.
As he runs through them, slashing left and right with his opposing key blades, he looks left and right for a place to cast a portal. 'Damnit, I don't have enough time to set a destination, I'll just have to go for random.'
AHe stops dead and slashes trough the air with the black blade, creating a black rift that shows a two story house with fie teens sitting at a tble through a window. Just as he is about to jump through, he feels clwas rake across his back, tearing the cloak as he feels some kind of toxin burn through the wounds. He spins around,swinging the white blade, slicing through a green and black heartless before jumping backwards through the portal before it closes behind him.
He lands on the ground in this new world with a loud thud and a long scream. "Holy shit…nata…et the, he's hur…" Are the last things he hears before blacking out.
That all for now guys. This is Master XIII saying Ja Ne. May the Schwarts be with you all!!
