Chapter Two: The Odd Conversation & Kurama's Unsatisfying War!
Kurama
"He is healing faster than anything I have ever seen." I heard a soft male voice speak as I pretended to be asleep. "His previous injuries are healing rapidly, at a freighting rate. He isn't a normal child, as I previously expected…interesting."
"Listen I know you have some questions about him, and I still have some of my own, but for now I can't tell you very much. I cannot go anywhere else, since they would want to run a million tests and may even detain him. I can't allow that, as you should know, by me knocking on your doorstep. You're the only one that can help him right now!" A familiar voice shouted sounding upset, and then I heard soft footfalls and felt someone lay a cold hand on my arm.
"I told you before, Leah, I don't mind. I will not run tests, unless they are necessary for his recovery, and I know you cannot answer my musings, but it is hard not to be fascinated by what is sleeping in front of me. This boy is an enigma, of that I am certain, but I wish his recovery above my curiosity. It is comforting that you would think of my professionalism apart from what I am, but I am afraid there is not much I can do at this point, but make sure he is comfortable, stable and off the map as it were. He has to wake up on his own; there is no cure for a coma. His broken bones have righted themselves to the extent that they may even function better than before…all we can do is wait and from what the analysis I have has shown, he will surely awaken. Of that I am sure." The hand on my arm shifted to move my host's arm some, jostling the IV that had been stuck in, and lifted the thin sheet over me.
"I know, he has to wake up…he just has to..." Leah sighed and I heard her shuffle over. "After all you have done and still continue to do, I feel indebted to you. I don't think I can ever repay you, but still I don't know what to do now. I…want to help...I'm so lost right now." I felt her place her hand on the same arm, in the exact same spot as the cold one, warming it instantly.
"I have to tell my family about him, Leah." The cold man said. "I am going to need their help monitoring his situation. I can make arrangements for you…" The man standing beside my bed paused as I sat up, slinging the thin white sheet off me.
"No you will stay here until I say you can leave." The undead man raised his hands in a sign of surrender at my tone and I took one in an iron grip as the woman beside me gasped.
"Naruto! Are you ok?" The female asked and I shook my head with a fanged grin.
"No, I'm not the brat, he is still resting. He is going to need the energy since he has used up damn near all of his chakra, but seeing as how he can't do so himself I am stepping in to protect him." I informed her before turning to the vampire I held in my grasp. "Now I have some questions and you will answer them. If you refuse, I will tear the skin from your body and burn it before your eyes. Understand?"
"I will try my best." He replied uneasily and I let the grin on my face grow as I increased the grip I had on the cold one.
"Wise man…I heard the two of you talking about Naruto earlier and I know you have been looking after him. I would thank you if it had been needed, but it wasn't, but I am curious as to your motive for doing so." I demanded as I stood up and pulled the vampire closer.
"I am a doctor."
"I know of your disease, doctor. I want to know why you would take in a human child and aid him!" I demanded again, quickly growing impatient.
"I use my…abilities I've been given to help save lives same as any doctor, I simply wished to help the young man."
"Do you wait until you find one you cannot save to feed yourself?" I snarled.
"I prey on animal blood to combat the…thirst." He explained uneasily and I let go of his hand.
"Then I have no more questions for you. You can leave if you wish." I stated as I looked around the room and the vampire slowly took a few steps back while rubbing his now bruised wrists.
"Actually since I answered your questions, would you answer a few of mine?" He asked semi-calmly.
"I will only answer if I feel it is my place."
"You said before that Naruto is still resting." I waited for the question before I grew bored.
"Is that supposed to be a question?" He nodded and I rolled my eyes. "Yes he is still in the coma and as you profoundly stated earlier I cannot wake him on a whim. I am Kurama." I stated as I found the brat's jacket, overjoyed that he changed from orange to black since he became ANBU.
"I am Carlisle Cullen. I have been informed that Naruto has two 'voices' in his head as if there are two separate beings joined in his head. I am curious about how two people can share one body."
"I will assume that was a question as well. I am not human and I am not sharing this body. Naruto has complete control over this body since it is his. I am simply a prisoner and Naruto's body is acting as a cage, with Naruto taking the role of the jailor."
"If that is true then…how are you able to take control now?"
"The boy is comatose and therefore unable to dictate his actions, much less defend himself, so he has unwillingly allowed me this small taste of freedom. I am only in control now because he has grown to trust me just as I have grown to respect him. If he didn't trust me, I wouldn't be standing here having a rather odd conversation with a vampire doctor whom only feeds off of animal blood." The vampire chuckled at the joke.
"Yes I agree with you, Kurama, this isn't what I expected when I thought of speaking with Naruto, well apparently I'm still not, but this conversation has been a bit unsettling, yet fascinating at the same time from the start. I do have more questions but I will save most for Naruto as you seem to be…uneasy." I shrugged.
"Do not concern yourself with that and as I said before; I will answer if I feel I have the right to. Naruto can fill you in on the rest if that is his wish, and if I know that little blond brat, he will do it just to talk to someone."
"You said before that you are not human…" For the second time I smelled the familiar scent of fear from the still hearted man before me and I grinned. "What are you then?"
"I've been called a demon, but being a vampire I am quite sure you can empathize. As for my full title I am called; Kurama the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon and second most powerful Tailed-Beast in the world."
"A nine-tailed fox demon…" He repeated in a whisper then he stared at me for a long while. "How did you come to reside within this young man?" I sighed as I looked between the two.
"It isn't my place to tell of the boy's painful past."
"I see…My ally spoke of Naruto's feelings; apparently he holds regret and sorrow close."
"Oh I know…I will assume that your informant is empathic…the brat thinks about things he cannot change or should have prevented, nonstop degradation if you will. The boy has led one hell of a life and it's secrets stay with him, unless he wishes otherwise."
"I only ask to protect my family you see. If what you told me is true I may have made a mistake in taking the boy in."
"Now don't jump to conclusions, doctor. I told you before I would only harm you if you didn't answer my previous questions and now that I have deemed you harmless I will not kill you or your family…unless they try something foolish…" I glared at the door as I heard many soft footsteps outside. "I know there are others outside, listening. As I said I will not harm anyone unless I am provoked."
"Thank you for that, Kurama. I hope that it doesn't come to that." Carlisle spoke quietly, sincerely and I chuckled before shaking my head.
"Don't thank me. If Naruto found out I told a family of vampires about his past he would be furious."
"I am still very curious, but since you have no hostility towards my family I do not wish to entice a fight nor do I wish to anger anyone."
"You have the compassion of a thousand men, Carlisle. I assume you felt it to, little one?" I asked the wolf girl, who had remained quiet and attentive since I informed her that it wasn't the brat whom had awoken, and she nodded.
"Yes, before now I didn't trust them, but now…well I can't say I trust all of them. I do trust Carlisle more now, especially since he was willing to help without much of an explanation."
"I told you, Leah, I try to help people in any way I can." I glanced between the two before rolling my eyes.
"If she trusts you then I assume I can as well. This is to stay between your family and your tribe of vampire hunting wolves." The two in the room nodded and I sighed.
"Naruto can rant about his privacy all he wants…I am immortal, he isn't so he couldn't haunt me forever. I was captured, before the founding of Naruto's village, and sealed into host…after host. Naruto's mother was my last host, before Naruto. She had given birth to Naruto shortly before I was extracted from her and the process ended up killing her. I had been under the control of same man that extracted me and he forced me into a blood frenzy. He tried to use me to destroy Naruto's home village, but Naruto's father stopped him. His father gave his life to seal me in order to save his people from my rage, but since I was too powerful, he was forced to split me into two separate states of being and seal my 'good' half within Naruto while taking my 'bad' half into himself. His father and I fought nonstop while in a state of limbo. It was his soul against my hatred until I was finally defeated yet again. He and I formed a truce of sorts and eventually I was reunited with my other half, becoming complete once again thanks to a psychopath wishing to enslave the world. During the war to stop him, I agreed to be sealed again into Naruto to save his life, as the seal his father created bound our souls and without me, he would die. The second time I was sealed it took the lives of both his mother and father, who had been reincarnated to help air their allies in the war, combined as they were the only ones with enough knowledge of seals to create one strong enough." I sighed after I finished and sat down on the bed. "I will not go into further detail than that." I stated as I crossed my arms and looked away from the pair, as I had grown tired of their remorseful, sorrowful look. After a few minutes of silence, a young female vampire burst into the room, interrupting my thoughts.
"They are coming!" She shouted and blinked, as she looked me. Then her eyes glazed over as if she was in a trance.
"Alice?" Another vampire asked as he ran into the room. She didn't answer. I stood up, grabbed Naruto's jacket from the table nearby, and quickly dressed as it sounded like I may get the chance to spill some blood. All this talking of the past and the nonstop questions were getting on my nerves anyway and besides I am a demon after all, I thoroughly enjoy spilling blood.
"Is something wrong?" Leah asked as she stepped closer to me and I placed a clawed hand upon her shoulder to calm her. The two males looked back at her, snarling, which caused me to growl deep and foreboding in the form of vengeance…that worked flawlessly might I add.
"I saw an army of newborns headed this way, but they stopped for some reason. Apparently, they are back on the move and heading straight towards us." She explained after she blinked out of her daze.
"Army of newborns…newly changed vampires?" I clarified and Carlisle nodded with a grim look in his eye. I cracked my knuckles as I felt a gleeful grin appear on my face, causing Carlisle and the other male to take a defensive stance. I chuckled at their deep-rooted fear. "I haven't had the pleasure of killing something in a very, very long time. I trust since they are new to being vampires that they have no qualms with killing innocent humans?" The male crouched in front of the one called Alice nodded, still looking uncomfortable and wary of me, not that could I blame him. "Good. Since Naruto would not feel much remorse over killing them, I can have a small taste of freedom in ending their nonexistent lives. I need to know where they were last spotted." I stated and before I could get an answer, three more golden-eyed vampires barged in. How many of these assholes live here I wonder…
"I doubt that you would last a second." The blond female stated smugly and I rolled my eyes.
"I doubt that, even if every one of you undead maggots teamed up, you would last less than a second against me, little girl." I smirked at her fearlessness; she simply snorted and turned up her nose at the threat, a very foolish thing to do when facing a demon.
"Big talk coming from something that is stuck inside a tiny, little, child." She shot back and I laughed loudly at her attempt to get me riled up…it worked flawlessly on her part, but I do not think it was a wise decision to anger a demon; especially one that had been imprisoned for half of his eternal life.
"Oh the boy of whom you speak would kill you and your useless gathering of weaklings faster than I would. You see, he doesn't like his victims to suffer. It would be quick and painless…you wouldn't feel a thing, especially since he has full access to his chakra, unlike the last time he fought one of you weaklings, he still won might I add. Me on the other hand…I would make sure you, Blondie, would be the last, so you could see the error in your words before I rip out that flippant tongue of yours and beat you to death with it. Then I would eat your remains just to make sure your pathetic lifeless carcass would be put to some sort of use. Now if you are quite done trying to piss me off I suggest one of you tell me where I might find this army, before I lose my patience and kill one of you in their place…I already have one in mind." I stated as I crossed my arms and glared at the now snarling blonde-haired bitch.
"Fifty miles in that direction." The one called Alice informed me as she pointed and I nodded gratefully. Finally some freedom without some undead bastards following my every move...I do admit, Naruto has far more patience than I do. I walked forward as they parted, until I noticed Leah following me.
"Stay here little one, Naruto would be angry if you got hurt." I insisted and she gazed defiantly back at me.
"I won't get in the way I promise." She pleaded and I shook my head with an aggravated sigh.
"I can't take you to a battlefield. Naruto is going to be angry enough with me and if you die, it would be on my watch, and that is another one of my regrets he would hold over my head until his death…I don't need more unnecessary deaths stained upon my hands…can you understand that?" She nodded but stepped closer with what I could only surmise as the Uchiha Glare in her eye.
"I care about him as well, Kurama. I promise to stay alive if you promise to keep Naruto safe." I rolled my eyes and placed a clawed hand on her shoulder.
"Fine...you know you remind me of him… what with your idiotic will to prove something and what the hell attitude." I glared at her for a while to she if she would back down, but see stood fast, just like Naruto…glaring defiantly back at me, daring me to try and stop her from following. "Don't dictate your actions by your words; replace your words with your actions." I informed her. "If you insist on fighting then I won't stop you."
"Thank you for this, Kurama." I smirked, before I flung her onto my back. I took off through the house and made it to the woods before I spoke up again.
"As soon as we arrive I am going to transform into my original form and I suggest that you take your wolf form as well. Be prepared to attack any strays that slip past me. I will try my best not to let that happen, but war is war and it seldom goes as planned. Use the trees to go in and out of your wolf form to attack from above; it will confuse them at first. After they catch on to that, switch your tactics and use your speed to keep out of their reach. Only attack if you see an opening; do not attempt to make one. Do you follow me so far?"
"Yeah! I won't let you down!" She shouted when I glanced back over my shoulder to look at her. After seeing the determined look in her eyes, I smiled slightly.
"Good, now as I said before, shout, or howl, if you need my assistance. If they try to flank you, pick one and feign an attack at him. Then jump aside and try to force, them close the one another, as it will hinder their range if they are close enough to each other, after that stay defensive, do not let them coordinate. If you have to…run, and stay away until they seem to spread apart. When you attack, strike quick and hard; only attack once, if you do not you run the risk of being caught and killed. Bite and run. Slash and run. Kill and run." She nodded and I sped up as I honed in onto the scent of the walking dead. "Most importantly, don't die." I instructed as sped up. After a few seconds of full speed running later, we arrived at the clearing Alice said they were close too and I sniffed the air as Leah jump off my back before quickly transforming into a large wolf. I growled as I bit my arm to draw out some of Naurto's blood to use as bait and turned towards her.
"My turn." I built up my chakra as the bite marks on my arm disappeared rapidly and I felt the earth beneath me start to shake. I kept it up until I felt my limit reached. Now in my true form, I felt more than ready to start the slaughter and looked down my muzzle at Leah, who was now significantly smaller the me. I pointed to the trees behind us with one of my nine tails. "DO AS I SAID AND STICK TO THE TREES." I commanded and she seemed afraid to move at first, but she eventually nodded and with a low growl, took off, into the trees. After I made sure she was well hidden within the tress, I turned my attention back to sniffing out the enemy.
"LET THE KILLING FRINZY BEGIN!" I bellowed as the first wave of foolish newborns popped their tiny heads out of the trees. They were dead before they realized I was not the bleeding human they smelled.
Leah
I watched on in amazement as Kurama danced around killing vampires. He moved with surprising grace despite his gigantic size and speaking of size, I thought I was big in my wolf form, but his size was more than five times that. He towered over the trees. Seriously, the trees came up to his waist. It was more than intimidating and at first, I honestly was scared that he would eat me as he was currently doing to any poor vampire that was in his line of sight.
I blinked at that thought. Wasn't he listening to us earlier about how to kill a vampire? Since he is sharing Naruto's body, he must have access to his memories at least. You are supposed to light them on fire after disarming them, not eat them whole. Oh shit he didn't know about their poisonous venom…well it doesn't look like it affects him. It would kill us to ingest them…at least their heads anyway, but he seems fine. Well…not fine, but rather he looks like he was elated and enraged at the same time. He did say it had been a long time since he got that chance to kill something…maybe he is just living up his chance to do some damage since once Naruto wakes up he has to go back into his body as his prisoner. I shook my head at the thought and focused my attention on the slimming army of vampires. None of them were even getting close to getting past him, I realized as I watched the blood bath.
Once one would try to head back to the trees, Kurama would cut them off somehow. He would cut off their heads with just a swipe from one of his nine tails or throw one of them at each other to knock them down before eating them both. He was the embodiment of the term killing machine.
Kurama glanced over at me after the remaining vampires huddled together, cowering in a small circle. He was covered in blood and he was grinning, his large white teeth had been stained red. He then sniffed the air and I did the same as I slowly made my way over towards his location. The only scent I caught was from the vampires that were cowering in the middle. I huffed as I realized that it was over. Damn it, I didn't even get to kill one. Well there are a few left, four by my count, but they were busy pissing themselves. I couldn't really blame them; I mean I almost did the same thing five seconds ago. I stilled at that. It only took him five seconds to take down an army of vampires. The thought sent chills up my spine.
"AFRAID OF ME ARE YOU?" He asked as I stood next to the now defeated army. "I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I WOULDN'T HARM A HAIR ON YOUR LITTLE GREY HEAD." He laughed and sat down facing the vampires. "NARUTO WOULD HAUNT ME FOREVER IF I HURT YOU, BESIDES I'M STARTING TO LIKE YOU." I nodded in agreement and pawed him on the leg to show I wasn't as afraid as before. He chuckled before pointing at the quivering herd of bloodsuckers with one of his tails. "I SAVED A FEW OF THEM FOR YOU. I TOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE HUNRGY." I snorted at the idea before I sat down as well. I used my tail to gesture to them, then to simulate slitting my throat. "AH SO YOU CAN'T EAT THEM. I WONDER WHY THAT IS…" He trailed off in thought. One foolish vampire tried to run, before he was instantly crushed beneath a giant red tail. I yipped to catch his attention.
When he glanced over, I opened my mouth and poked at my canine with my tongue before gesturing back at them. He looked back and forth between the remaining bloodsuckers and me, before tilting his head slightly. "SO THEY HAVE SOME SORT OF POSION IN THEIR FANGS?" He guessed. I nodded and he laughed. "I WAS WONDERING WHY THEY KEPT TRYING TO BITE ME. IT DOESN'T REALLY AFFECT ME SINCE I DON'T HAVE BLOOD, BUT NARUTO DOES. I'VE HAD TO PURGE HIS SYSTEM QUITE A FEW TIMES BECAUSE HE RAN OFF AND GOT HIMSELF POSIONED LIKE AN IDIOT." I huffed and nodded to the vampires; some looked as if they were about to try to run, again. "PFT…I DON'T EAT COWARDS." He replied and I whined softly, trying to convey that they still needed to be dealt with before they got away. He rolled his giant silted red eyes at me before he raised his hand. Wait! He had two hands in front instead of paws….how odd…Before I could ponder more about it, he, in a blindingly quick movement, grasp every one of them. He held them up to his face and sneered at them. "I HAD HOPED THAT A VAMPIRE ARMY WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ENTERTAINING…AN ARMY…FEH MORE LIKE A GATHERING OF USELESS COWARDS, AND TO TOP IT OFF; I AM BORED. I HATE BORDOM ALMOST AS MUCH AS I HATE COWARDS." He stated as he slowly crushed them. I heard bones crushing over their screams of pain. One poor vamp exploded under the pressure sending his blood flying in every direction. I closed my eyes and turned away as some flew in my direction. I reopened open my eyes when I heard him laughing.
"NOW WHEN YOUR TRIBESMEN GIVE YOU HELL YOU CAN INFORM THEM THAT YOU HAVE BATHED IN THE BLOOD OF AN ARMY OF VAMPIRES."
I snorted in a way of answering and looked away. We sat there for a few minutes as I reviewed the series of events that happened after meeting Naruto, before Kurama snorted. "AH MORE VAMPIRES…" He sounded amused and I looked over to find him curling his tails around himself as he lay down with a dejected sigh. "TOO BAD THEY ARE THE ONES FROM EARLIER. I DON'T THINK NARUTO WOULD LIKE IT IF I ATE THE DOCTOR, BUT I WONDER ABOUT THAT BLOND ONE…NA TOO RISKY." He sighed forlornly and I grunted in agreement. I would love nothing more than to watch Kurama bitch-slap her across the planet. She deserved it after the way she looked at Naruto when I brought him to Carlisle, as if he was beneath her. Ironic that it's the same boy who is preventing her from becoming the diner for a Nine Tailed Fox Demon.
"STILL THINK I WOULDN'T LAST A SECOND AGAINT THESE WEAK PITIFUL VAMPIRE NEWBORNS? HMM? WHAT? NO SNAPPY COMEBACK? EH BLONDIE?" Kurama leered as his tails began to sway back and forth causing a gentle breeze as they came into view before they simply stopped at the sight of Kurama. "DIDN'T THINK SO…WHY DON'T YOU BE A DEAR AND STOP GAWKING AT ME? IT'S ANNOYING." I snorted while he looked away from them.
"Kurama?" The youngest looking boy, I think his name was Edward, asked and Kurama rolled his eyes.
"NO I'M ANOTHER NINE TAILED FOX DEMON." Kurama sarcastically spat and I had to sit on my tail to keep it from wagging as my shoulders shook from silent laughter. Edward glared as the rest looked around, admiring Kurama's handiwork. "I HOPE YOU ARE DONE ASKING IDIOTIC QUESTIONS. I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE EXPLAINING MYSELF TO ANY OF YOU ANYWAY. ASIDE FROM THE DOCTOR AND THE ONE CALLED ALICE, I FIND YOU ALL ANNOYING. I SUGGEST THAT YOU STRIVE TO REMEADY THAT."
"Actually we came to warn you that Alice has foreseen that the Volturi in the area. They are most likely here to investigate this." Edward spoke up recovering from the insult and looking oddly hopeful.
"IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN SOMETHING TO ME?" Kurama asked sounding bored with the conversation and I tried to recall the name, as it sounded strangely familiar. Edward stepped forward tentatively, as if Kurama would bite him if he moved to quickly. Given his current mood, he might have.
"They are the largest coven of vampires in existence. They act as enforcers…if we bring to much attention to ourselves as vampires."
"SO THEY'RE THE VAMPIRE POLICE?" Kurama huffed. "WHY SHOULD I CARE IF THEY COME? I KILLED ALL OF THE ONES THAT WERE DRAWING ATTENTION AS YOU PUT IT. IF THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT THEN THEY CAN BITE ME!" He growled and I nodded as I remembered how easily he took down the so-called army. Edward looked surprised before he blinked, then he smirked.
"To be honest…I felt you might have been in over your head with the newborns, but seeing as how you aren't even so much as winded I imagine that you would feel…disappointed." Kurama laughed at that and nodded slightly.
"YES, I AM. WHAT'S YOUR POINT, KID?" Kurama asked sounding more interested. Edward nodded as his smirk left his face getting serious.
"As I said they are of a larger number then the ones you just fought and since the eldest members are around three thousand years old I surmise they are more skilled fighters. I know a few have quite interesting abilities." Kurama faked a yawn. "I would be in your debt if you killed them."
"WOULD YOU NOW…INDEPTED TO A DEMON, YOU ARE A STRANGE ONE…WHY SHOULD I CARE?"
"I…I think Naruto would feel better knowing that they aren't a threat."
"HA! DO YOU, NOW? WELL, BOY, I THINK HE COULD CARELESS ABOUT THIS COVEN OF WEAKLINGS, IN FACT IF HE DID CARE, I THINK HE WOULD WANT TO KILL THEM PERSONALLY SINCE I KILLED THE LAST GROUP. HOW DO YOU KNOW HE WOULDN'T BE JEALOUS?"
"My instinct tells me otherwise."
"MAYBE THAT'S JUST YOUR BRAIN ATEMPTING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY." Carlisle stepped in at that.
"Kurama, I know you are only trying to enjoy your freedom, but please listen to my son." Kurama sighed.
"I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I HAVE TO KILL THEM."
"For the most part I wish to see my family protected from harm. You do understand that do you not?" Kurama nodded. "My family has recently been brought to the attention of the Volturi. Edward recently visited their city and broke one of their most sacred laws in order to end his life, but thank God he was saved." Kurama shook his large head.
"WELL I HONESTLY THOUGHT I COULDN'T LIKE HIM ANY LESS AND THEN I GET TO HEAR HOW HE IS NOT ONLY A WEAK COWARDLY CHILD, BUT A SUICIDAL ONE AT THAT…" Edward glared at him, to which Kurama just huffed. "WHAT? DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH? THEN BE A MAN AND ADMIT YOU WERE WEAK AND TRY TO CHANGE THAT, BEFORE YOU FIND OUT THE AFTERLIFE , FOR SUICIDAL SOULS, IS ONLY LIVING IN ETERNAL REGRET."
"I was broken hearted and not in my right mind." Edward defended his actions and Kurama lifted his eyebrows a bit.
"DID YOU GET DUMPED, BOY?"
"No I left her in an attempt to keep her safe, but it backfired horribly…I had thought leaving would save her, but it only brought about misery for the both of us. I tried to contact her, in a moment of weakness, but I was only informed of a funeral. I expected the worst, that it was her funeral, and sought to find her in the afterlife, since there is no life in existing without the one thing you cannot live without."
"AH…NEXT TIME LIE AND SAY YOU GOT DUMPED, IT SOUNDS BETTER."
"I'll keep that in mind. Now back to the matter at hand."
"NOT SO FAST. I NEVER GOT TO HEAR HOW YOU CAME CRAWLING BACK TO HER." Kurama snickered and I snorted. Edward cleared his throat as the largest vampire chuckled.
"I was saved by her, but we were captured by the Volturi; they forced us to choose between her death or changing her into a vampire."
"THIS GIRL IS A HUMAN?"
"Yes and I would like her to stay that way, but since she is being forced into choosing to be damned, I am asking you to do this for me and for her."
"FINE…IDIOT. I WILL KILL THEM, BUT ONLY IF I GET TO MEET THIS GIRL, SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS FAR MORE COURAGE THAN MOST OF THE VAMPIRES I HAVE MET SO FAR."
"Thank you again Kurama, we owe you an unrepayable debt and I am sure she would be delighted to meet you after all you have done for us. Although, I would advise using a different appearance, as your current one may frighten her into silence…or worse." Carlisle replied as he smiled and Kurama turned to face him before he shrugged.
"BUY ME A HOUSE AND WE SHALL CALL IT EVEN." I tilted my head at the odd request, before five more vampires strolled out into view. They wore dark cloaks and head bright red eyes, marking them as the human killers, unlike the Cullen coven. They mimicked the Cullen's earlier reaction to Kurama, before they came closer. They stopped abruptly and looked around.
"We heard there was quite a party going on…we got curious as to the details." The male in the darker robes spoke sounding amused. Kurama huffed.
"YOU DID MISS THE PARTY, BUT IT WASN'T ALL THAT FUN REALLY. MAYBE IF YOU INVITED SOME FRIENDS OVER WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER ONE." Kurama replied playing off the vampires words. The female bloodsucker to his left crossed her arms.
"Enough small talk. We know there were newborns in the area; I want to know what happened to them. Their trail ends here...I need to know how they were so easily defeated." She demanded causing Kurama to stand up to full height.
"I GOT HUNGRY…" Kurama chuckled at the looks from the new arrivals. "ACTUALLY…I STILL AM. IM A GROWING NINE TAILED FOX AFTER ALL…I NEED THE NURISHMENT."
"I'm not entirely sure that's possible." Another put his two cents in.
"I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE I ENJOY YOUR COMPANY, SO HOW DO YOU THINK WE CAN FIX THAT?"
"I am starting to lose my patience." The woman snarled, before she was abruptly beheaded, then eaten.
"IT WOULD SEEM SHE LOST MORE THAN HER PATIENCE…HOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU? ANYONE ELSE FEEL LIKE LOSING A BODY PART? NO? AW, YOU VOLTURI PANZIES ARE NO FUN…" Kurama quickly grabbed them up with his numinous tails and they shouted in pain as he broke a few bones. "I DON'T HAVE TIME TO KILL, WELL I DO, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT REALLY." He brought them into his view, as they stared wide-eyed back at him. "TIME IS SHORT, RATHER, AND SO IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF FOOLS THAT TRY MY PATENCE…YOU SEE I WAS PROMISED A GOOD BRAWL AND I HAVE YET TO BE ENTERTAINED BY ONE...SO WHERE ARE THE REST OF YOU VOLTURI INGRATES?"
When no one spoke up, he ate the remaining three and flung the last onto the ground, before crushing his leg with his hand.
"I ASKED A YOU A FUCKING QUESTION AND I EXCECT A FUCKING ANSWER!" He bellowed into the last Volturi vampire's face, before sliding him by his leg across the ground. "FINE! IF YOU WON'T TELL ME, THEN YOU CAN LIMP BACK TO YOUR MASTERS AND INFORM THEM OF THEIR IGNORANCE, SEEING AS HOW AN ENTIRE ARMY HAD BEEN ERRECTED UNDER THEIR NOSE! DO YOU NOT THINK THAT MIGHT ATTRACT ATTENTION? IF YOU WISH TO CALL YOUR SELVES PROTECTORS OF YOUR RACE OF BLOOD DEVOURING FOOLS, YOU SHOULD, AT THE VERY LEAST ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE FAILED…THOROUGHLY MIGHT I ADD. I HONESTLY THINK YOU SORRY ROTTING MEAT SACKS THINK YOU ARE SOMEHOW SUPERIOR AND MAKE UP FALSE RULES, WHICH YOU YOURSELVES HAVE BROKEN, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN DOMANCE. I AM A DEMON AND I DEMAND THAT YOU ALL BOW IN FEALTY TO THE GREATER RACE! IF NOT, THEN I WILL HUNT YOU AS THE PREY YOU ARE AND CONSUME YOU! EVERY…LAST…ONE…OF YOU PATHETIC BASTARDS! I DEMAND YOUR LEADERS TO BOW TO ME OR FACE MY ETERNAL WRATH!" He huffed before he brought the suffering vampire back up to his face. "OH AND BEFORE I FORGET, THE HUMAN THAT YOU HAVE DEMANDED BE TURNED UNDEAD, WILL NOT BE HARMED IN ANYWAY. MEANING SHE WILL NOT BE TURNED INTO ONE OF YOU DECEASED FAGGOTS, OTHERWISE…I WILL KILL YOU ALL SLOWLY….WITH A GRIN UPON MY FACE. IF YOU WISH FOR A PEACEFUL DEATH, THEN STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE." He smirked before flinging the bloodsucker into a tree, shattering many more bones as the tree shook, then toppled, from the impact.
"Why are you letting him go?" Edward asked, as the now thoroughly broken vampire crawled away as fast as he could; leaving behind a smear of blood and a bone from his fucked up self, which I quickly pounced upon. I love bones. Kurama chuckled at my actions and patted me, roughly, on the back as I gnawed on the remains of the bloodsucker.
"I WAS PROMISED A GOOD FIGHT AND THEY WERE EXTREMLEY BORING AND AGGRAVATING AS WELL. BESIDES, THEY WILL NOT REST, UNTIL YOUR LITTLE GIRLFRIEND IS FORCED INTO DOING SOMETHING THAT SHE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED INTO DOING. IF IT'S ONE THING I CARE FOR IT IS FREEDOM. FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR; WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?"
"Yes, it's why I asked for your help." He replied with a bow. "If fealty is what you demand I bow on behalf of my family to you." Kurama shook his large head.
"GOOD, BUT I DIDN'T WISH FOR YOU TO DO SO, ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY AMUSING, I ONLY SAID THAT TO ENTICE THEM. I DO NOT HATE YOU VAMPIRES; WELL AS MUCH AS I DID WHEN I FIRST MET YOU, ANYWAY…THE OTHER REASON IS I AM ALMOST AT MY TIME LIMIT IN THIS FORM. IF I STAY IN CONTROL FOR MUCH LONGER, I WILL DESTROY NARUTO'S BODY. TO AVOID THAT I THINK THAT NARUTO'S BODY AND I NEED SOME REST. WOULD YOU ALLOW A DEMON TO SLEEP INSIDE YOUR HOME?" Kurama asked with a lazy grin.
"After all you have done, we would be honored." Carlisle replied gesturing to his house, causing Kurama to broaden his grin into a more devious one.
"I AM GOING TO NEED YOU TO CARRY NARUTO'S BODY." He informed me before a red aura appeared, engulfing him, before he shrank back down to resemble Naruto's usual form. "The brat is close to awaking anyway. The brat is dense; I would be blunt with my intentions, if I were you. He doesn't understand subtlety." He stated as he climbed onto my back before lying down with a yawn.
