A/N: First of all, I want to say sorry for the ridiculously long time it took me to update. Unfortunately, my computer decided to have a breakdown and I managed to gather enough money to have it fixed only recently. My parents unfortunately refused to pay for it. Then again, they have more serious problems. Oh well. Anyway, here is the second chapter of Hybrid Naruto. It was originally longer than that, but I couldn't resist stopping at the point I did. Luckily for you, that means that a good part of the next chapter is already written. And since I think I'm allowed to become an ass every now and then, the more reviews I get, the sooner you will get said next chapter. In my defense, I promise I won't do it again

CHAPTER 2

REVELATION

Selene rushed across the village, carrying Naruto in her arms. She was heading towards the nearby forest, where she knew she would find what she needed.

When she reached it, she sat Naruto down against a tree at the edge of the forest. She watched him for a few seconds, and then she took his right arm. She moved his sleeve upwards exposing the veins, inwardly wandering why would anyone wear this orange monstrosity.

She brought Naruto's hand towards her mouth, were two fangs could be seen. She bit into the vain, drinking some of his blood, though not much.

Then she threw her head backwards and closed her eyes as she was assaulted by Naruto's memories. She watched his entire life. She watched as time and time again he was hunted and beaten almost to death by the villagers. She watched as he was almost starved to death because nobody would sell him food, and even when they did, not only they would overprice it, but it would also be spoiled, which resulted in Naruto getting sick very often. She understood he wore these clothes because they wouldn't sell him anything else.

But she also saw some good moments. She saw that the Hokage, whom Naruto called Old Man, was like a grandfather figure to him, becoming someone Naruto could confide to, as well as giving him a place to live and even money. She saw that the owner of a ramen stand and his daughter were always kind to him. She saw that he was often helped by many shinobi, usually a white-haired man who had one eye and the lower half from his face covered and from members of two shinobi families, who Selene learned were called Uchihas and Inuzukas.

But the good memories didn't last long. As Selene went further back in Naruto's memories, when he was younger, she saw children refusing to play with him, parents telling their children that Naruto was evil, that he was a demon. She saw his memories from his time in the orphanage, how the people in charge mistreated him, discouraged the other children from playing with him and always punished him for things he hadn't done.

By that point, Selene, while furious about the way Naruto was treated, was also curious about the reason he was treated like that. She found her answer in the oldest of Naruto's memories, in memories Naruto himself couldn't recall. In the memory of the first day of his life.

She saw Naruto get taken from the embrace of his mother, a beautiful redhead, just after he was born. The one who took him was someone who Selene knew well, for later in his life Naruto would often talk of him, making him his role model. Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage. And judging from the way he was looking at Naruto, he was probably his father. Then suddenly Naruto and his father were in a battlefield, facing someone Selene has seen before.

"Kyuubi." she muttered.

She watched as Kyuubi was sealed inside Naruto. And while she had gone through many hardships in her life, she couldn't help but shed a few tears when she watched Minato say his last farewells to his son and assuring him that he loved him, before passing away, consumed by the sealing.

She cried again as she watched Naruto's mother hold him and assure him that she loved him. But the pains of the labour and the effect of Kyuubi's chakra were too much for her, and she too died soon after.

Selene grew angry again when she watched Sarutobi submit to the civilians and not let the Uchihas or the Inuzukas adopt him.

From her point of view, the Hokage was weak. Selene could not understand what being tired from age and hardships meant. Her indomitable spirit would never let her feel that way. For all the hardships that she had gone through, she had not given up. On the contrary, she could still smile, perhaps more than she did when she was young, for during the ages she had learned to enjoy life whenever she had the chance.

When she at last got out of Naruto's memories, she looked at him with new respect. To have gone through so much at such a young age and not have broken under the strain was indeed admirable. She then ran inside the forest.

She came back a few minutes later, carrying a dead deer with her, and just in time, because Naruto was just coming to his senses. She dumped the deer next to him and used a knife to slash open its neck, letting its blood flow.

Naruto, had just come to his senses when he smelled the blood and he acted purely on instinct. He grabbed the deer and brought his mouth to its slashed neck, unconscious of the fact that his eyes were again black or that he had again fangs instead of teeth. He started to drink greedily, not stopping to think about what he was doing until after the deer was completely drained of blood. Needless to say, when he got to his senses, he was completely freaked out.

He jumped backwards, looking at the dead animal with horror. "W-wh-what am I doing? What happened? Wh…"

Selene acted fast, grabbing him from the shoulders and lowering herself to the height of his eyes, getting his attention and stopping him mid-rant. "Calm down, Naruto. You haven't recovered completely yet."

"Wh-who are you? All I remember is almost getting killed, then a red light and then… nothing." he looked at Selene fearfully. "Are you going to hurt me too?"

"My name is Selene, and no, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to help you. I'm the only one who can, the only one who knows what happened to you."

She guided his eyes to the deer. "The only one who knows why you did this."

Naruto turned back to her, his eyes seeking answers, as well as reassurance. If it was reassurance that he wouldn't get hurt, reassurance that what he did was normal, or both, Selene didn't know.

"Calm down." repeated Selene. "I'll explain everything, but tomorrow. Now, you need to rest. Come, I'll take you to your house."

Before Naruto could say anything else, Selene took him in her arms and dashed of towards his house, guided by his memories.

While Naruto still had many questions and was still worried about what happened, he couldn't help but enjoy the ride, admiring how fast Selene was moving, and while carrying him too!

When they reached his house, Naruto tried to ask how she knew where it was, but once again she said that she would explain tomorrow.

Once they got in, Naruto turned to Selene. "So, what happens now?" he asked wearily, still not trusting her.

"Now you sleep. As I said before, you need rest. And once you wake up, we are going to the Hokage. Then the three of us will have a long talk." she replied.

Hearing they would go to the Old Man, Naruto calmed down a little, but still not completely. "How do I know that I can trust you? And what will you do till tomorrow? It's not like there is room here for you to sleep."

It was true. The place was completely run down, with barely enough room for Naruto himself. It had only two rooms, one which functioned as bedroom and kitchen at the same time and a small bathroom. The first room had only a futon that actually looked too small for Naruto, a table with two chairs, a small nightstand with an alarm clock on it, and a small fridge, all of which looked like they would break apart if someone so much as breathed at them. The walls were full of cracks, mottled and all over them were written various variations of "Go to hell, demon-spawn."

Selene had already seen all this in Naruto's memories, but seeing them first hand made her furious all over again. Still, she reined it in. Seeing her pissed off would only serve to make Naruto more weary and afraid of her than he already was.

She took a deep breath and answered him. "I don't need sleep Naruto, so don't worry about that. As for what I'll do, I'll wait outside and make sure that nobody will come here and try to hurt you."

Now, Naruto knew better than to blindly trust a person he had just met, but in order to survive he had been forced to develop a sixth sense of shorts as to who could be trusted and who couldn't, and it was telling him that she wasn't planning on hurting him. Plus, there was this weird little voice inside of him that kept saying to him that he could trust the woman in front of him.

Naruto never knew who this voice belonged to and he had only heard it four times before in his life. The first time he didn't listen to it, thinking it his imagination, and almost died because of it. The other three times he did listen to it and was able to avoid serious injury or even death.

When he eventually told the Hokage about it and asked who could it be, he looked at him thoughtfully for a long time and then told him that he would learn when the time was right and that he should come to him whenever the voice said something else to him and tell him what it was.

So, Naruto decided to trust Selene. "Fine, we will go to the Hokage tomorrow-but you'd better explain everything then!"

Selene shook her head, amused with the kid's bravado, but also glad that he trusted her, and turned to go outside.

"Hey, where are you going?" asked Naruto surprised.

Selene smirked, which Naruto didn't see, since she had her back turned to him. 'Play time'.

She turned towards him. "Well, I'm going outside to watch for any would be intruders. Why? Do you want me to stay here with you? The bed isn't big enough for both of us unless we share. Is that what you are proposing?"

Without giving him time to answer, she brought her face very close to his, staring into his blue eyes with her now green ones.

Naruto blushed for a reason he could not name, took a step back, and started to frantically wave his hands in front of him while at the same time shaking his head many times. "N…no, nothing like that." he stammered nervously.

Selene smirked at him again. "I thought so." she said, and then left.

Not a second later, she was on the roof of Naruto's house, looking around for any potentials threats, while at the same time thinking about how she would have dealt with the boy during her younger days. She thought about it and chuckled. She would probably have tied him down or knocked him unconscious until the time for their meeting for the Hokage.

Truth be told, she could still change between her current behavior and that of her younger self at will. Which, now that she thought about it, always creeped her last lover out. She felt a pang of pain when she thought about him, but she quickly pushed it away. She had promised herself that she wouldn't live in the past.

'I really need a new lover. A thousand years alone is way too long.' she thought. She thought about it for a second. The silver haired man from Naruto's memories, Kakashi, looked decent enough, but he had one major flaw. Having seen countless men in her lifetime, Selene recognized a pervert from a mile a way, and he was one of the worst she had ever seen.

Her thoughts then shifted to Naruto himself. He was a hybrid, thus immortal, a definite bonus, judging from his father he would be a great looker when he grew up and, most important of all, he possessed an immense strength and integrity of character. Sure, he was still too young, but compared to Selene, almost all living beings were little more than newborns. Waiting five, six or even ten years was nothing to one such as her.

She shrugged these thoughts away. There was no point in worrying about what the future would bring, only the now mattered. It was a philosophy Selene picked up from her last lover. It was almost impossible to make that guy worry about something…

Selene shook her head to clear it from such thoughts, and stood up, looking around anxiously. She actually hoped that someone would come and try to hurt Naruto so she could vent on them. Seeing none however, she sat back down and started thinking about all the possible directions next day's conversation could follow. She sighed. 'One thing is certain, this will be troublesome…' she thought.

In a different house in Konoha, a ten-year-old boy sneezed, muttered a "Troublesome…" and then kept on sleeping.

Next morning, a couple of hours after the sun got up, Selene got back inside in Naruto's house to wake him up. However, she saw that his alarm clock was about to ring and decided to wait and see if he dealt with it the same way all other men she had seen.

RRRRIIIIIINNNNGGGG

CRASH

Naruto, not knowing about his new strength, brought his fist down on the evil creation that woke him up, turning it into scrap metal, as well as destroying the nightstand it was on.

Selene sweatdropped. 'Yep, he's the same alright.' Selene briefly wandered if all men dealt with their alarm clocks the same way or if she was just drawn to them for some reason. She conveniently forgot that every single one of the, admittedly few, times she had to use an alarm clock to wake up on time, she had completely pulverized the clock, the nightstand it was on, and the part of the floor the nightstand was standing on.

Then Naruto got out of the bed…wearing only his boxers which were orange with green frogs on them. Hearing Selene's giggle, he turned towards her, turned a bright red, and jumped back under the covers of his bed, leaving only his head out. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" he shouted.

Not losing her mocking smile, Selene answered. "Nice boxers. Anyway, I came to wake you up. It's time to go meet the Hokage. I'll be waiting outside. Come when you're ready." Then her face turned serious. "Also, something else Naruto. Listen, because it's VERY important. No matter what, do NOT eat or drink anything. You will die if you do."

Naruto looked at her with wide eyes, hoping against hope that she was just playing a joke on him, but there was no trace of joking on her face. So he just gulped and nodded.

A couple of minutes later, Naruto was walking next to Selene, heading to the Hokage Tower. He was anxious to get there so he could get answers to the questions he had. Unknown to him, the other two concerned individuals were also very anxious to get to the meeting. Sarutobi for the same reason as Naruto and Selene so that she could chew Sarutobi a new asshole.

As the two walked through the village, they were attracting many curious eyes. It wasn't everyday that one saw a gorgeous woman walking side by side with Naruto Uzumaki, the demon boy.

Pretty soon, the people, mainly the men, were whispering to each other, saying that she must be new to the village and didn't know who Naruto was, or that the demon must have brainwashed her.

Still, none of them said anything, until one man, who was either braver or more stupid than the others, stepped in front of them, forcing them to stop.

He looked at Selene lecherously. "Hey there, beautiful. There is no reason to walk with this brat." He shot a hateful glare to Naruto. "He is a demon you know. Why not come with me? I'm sure I'll be able to give you a good time."

Selene didn't even bother to answer. She grabbed him from the hem of his shirt and threw him to the side. She didn't have the time to deal with this idiot right now and she didn't want to upset Naruto. Still, she made sure to remember his face so that she could teach him a lesson later.

Meanwhile, everyone watching the scene was dumbfounded. Even a kunoichi wouldn't be able to throw a man that weighted around 100kg with such ease. Well, unless she was Tsunade, but this woman obviously wasn't the Legendary Sucker.

This led everyone to one conclusion. That she was some short of demon that Naruto had summoned to help him kill them.

Selene's eyes narrowed and she quickly turned around, catching a rock heading towards her head, thrown by the man she had just thrown away. She glared at him, her eyes once again blue.

The man gulped, his fear obvious in his eyes, but he managed to convince himself that with all the people gathered around him, he had the advantage. "Take him and get out of our village, you demon whore. There is no place for things like you here."

Selene's eyes narrowed even more. With the slightest tightening of her fingers, the rock she was still holding was reduced to tiny pebbles. She let them all fall, except one she caught with her thumb and middle finger.

"What did you say?" she asked menacingly.

The man gulped, but managed to answer. "I, I said get out of our village, you damn bitch."

Selene turned to Naruto. "Keep moving Naruto. I'll catch up to you soon."

Naruto wanted to argue, but the look in her eyes told him to shut up and do as told. And that was exactly what he did, inwardly starting to say a prayer to Kami to have mercy on the man's soul. Then he caught himself and wondered why should he care what happened to him. The man had called him a demon and insulted Selene. He shrugged and decided not to bother Kami with unimportant things.

He kept walking, though slower, waiting for Selene to catch up with him. As he walked, he tried to remember what happened yesterday, after he blacked out. He could remember up to the red light and then…nothing.

He concentrated. A few bits and pieces came back to him. A loud roar, feeling the worst pain of his life, seeing the Hokage, Selene kneeing him in the gut… Then, as if a dam burst, the memories came rushing back. He turned green, rushed to a nearby thrash bin and emptied his stomach inside it.

A few minutes back

After Naruto was far enough, Selene turned back to the man who insulted her, her face so cold that made the Land of Snows seem the warmest place of the Elemental Nations in comparison.

She opened her mouth and spoke, her voice so low that everyone, including the dog-masked ANBU watching from a nearby alley, had to strain their ears to hear.

"First of all, neither Naruto nor I are demons. Second, I'm no bitch. And third, I'm definitely no whore."

She lifted her hand holding the pebble and, with a casual flick of her middle finger sent it towards the man who threw the rock.

Normally, that wouldn't even faze a grown up man. However, when said pebble was traveling with three times the speed of a bullet… that was an entirely different story. It hit the man between the eyes, went straight through his skull and embedded itself in the wall behind him. He was dead before he hit the ground.

She looked around her coldly, daring anyone else to attack her or insult her, knowing from experience that someone would. She was right.

A man attacked her from behind, brandishing a big knife. He attempted to stab her in the back, saying "You'll pay for killing him you…you…you demon-loving bitch!"

A sickening 'crunch' was heard and then the man was on his knees, shouting his lungs out and staring disbelievingly at the deformed mass of destroyed bone, flesh and wood that a fraction of a second earlier was his hand and the handle of the knife he was holding.

Selene put her right hand under his chin and brought all fingers except her thumb upwards, making them pierce the soft flesh under the man's mouth, so that her fingertips were inside it. She lifted his head, making their eyes meet.

"As I said before, I'm no bitch." She viciously pulled her right hand backwards, effectively removing the man's lower jaw. She wiped her hand on the man's shirt and left to find Naruto, ignoring everyone around her. Or almost everyone.

In his position inside the alley, Kakashi was trembling from fear. When she was leaving, Selene had glared at him. It lasted less than half a second, but it was enough. Enough to bring Kakashi to his knees and make him have trouble breathing. Enough to fill him with primal fear the likes of which he had never experienced before, not even when Kyuubi attacked Konoha. He hugged himself, trying to stop his trembling. 'Wh…what is she?' he thought.

Back with Selene, she had just found Naruto. He was sitting next to a thrash bin, holding his stomach with his hands and his face a very interesting green shade.

She was next to him in an instant. "Naruto, are you alright? What happened?" she asked worried. She had an idea, but she wanted to be sure.

Naruto shook his head. "I'm fine, Selene-san. It's just…I remembered what I did yesterday."

Selene nodded. It was what she expected. "And what do you think of what you did Naruto? And call me Selene. I don't like honorifics. They make me feel old."

Naruto nodded and then answered. "Well, it made me feel sick, because I've never seen such a brutal sight before, but other than that…nothing." he looked at her confused. "Why is that? I know that until yesterday I would feel like a monster."

"I'm sure you can wait a few minutes for this answer. It's part of my explanation. So let's just go to the Hokage." she answered. Naruto nodded and got up.

As the resumed walking, Selene was secretly very glad. 'The hybrid mindset has begun to manifest already. Good.'

A few minutes later they were in front of the Hokage's door. His secretary had tried to stop them, but Selene paid no mind to her. She kicked the Hokage's door open, almost throwing it off its hinges, and rushed inside. Almost immediately, both of her hands shot up, catching both ANBU that were about to attack her from their throats, effortlessly holding them of the ground.

While the ANBU were unsuccessfully trying remove Selene's hands from their necks so they could breath-they even tried kicking her but to no avail-Selene turned to the Hokage with narrowed eyes.

"There had better be a good reason for this, Sarutobi." she said.

Sarutobi shrugged. "They are here to protect me. Next time, don't come in like that."

Selene glared at him for a couple more seconds, then nodded and threw the first ANBU, who was wearing a bear mask, out of the room.

She was about to do the same with the second, when she abruptly stopped. He was wearing a horse mask. Selene glanced back to Naruto to confirm her suspicions. Naruto was looking at the ANBU with caution and fear in his eyes. That was all the confirmation Selene needed.

She slightly twisted her wrist. The ANBU thrashing in her hand became limp, like a puppet whose strings were cut. A simple twist of her wrist and an ANBU, one of the best shinobi in the village, was dead, his neck broken. She threw the body out of the room and closed the door.

She turned back to Sarutobi only to find him on standing up with a kunai in his hand. "Why did you kill him?" he asked Selene threateningly, bombarding her with his KI.

Selene didn't even notice it. "Because he had attacked Naruto three times before." she answered aggressively.

Sarutobi looked at Naruto surprised, who nodded. Sarutobi sat back down. Selene approached the Hokage, scowling. She put both hands on his desk and leaned over it, looking down on the aged man.

"We are going to have a VERY long talk, Sarutobi. And your inability to protect Naruto, and the secrets you had from him, will be a big part of it." she spat out, her blue eyes glaring daggers at Sarutobi, daring him to contradict her.

Sarutobi meanwhile was having a very strange experience. As Selene towered over him, he suddenly felt like he was a genin and was about to be punished for a mistake. He was a sixty-year-old shinobi, who had lived though three wars. She was a woman who couldn't be a day older than twenty five. And still, facing Selene's scowling face, he suddenly felt like a child.

The Hokage took a deep breath to calm down and shake off the strange feeling. "Fine. But how do you know so many things?" he asked, understanding what she was talking about when she said secrets.

On Naruto's face the same question could be clearly seen. Selene sighed. "Okay, why don't both of you take a seat? As I said, this will be a long talk."

She waited until they were both seated, and then began. "As you both know, my name is Selene. And I'm a vampire."
