"DIE NOW, DEMON SCUM!"
"RIP HIS HEAD OPEN!"
"WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE, DEMON!"
"THIS IS FOR THE FOURTH!"
Naruto was huddled near the brick wall of the alley, he was badly cut all over the place, dirt and blood was matted into his blonde hair, and there were tears coming down on his whiskered face.
Naruto didn't do anything tonight; sure, it was the Festival of the Death of Kyuubi and the Fourth Hokage, but Naruto wanted to go to the festival, since it was his fifth birthday, and he didn't realized that a bunch of drunk civilians were tailing him and calling him insults… that is, until one of them threw a beer bottle at the poor five year old.
Suddenly, a chuunin came through the crowd, having an evil looking smile on his face and was carrying a short ninja sword in his left hand. Naruto's eyes widen in fear as the chuunin raised his sword above his head, hearing the crowd chanting of killing the 'Kyuubi brat' once and for all….
…that is, until all of them, including Naruto, started to hear a male humming a tune in the dark alley way. "Alright," yelled out the Chuunin, "Who's there? Show yourself you pathetic coward!"
"Coward?" the voice answered, "I think it should fit you, Jiro…"
The Chuunin was shocked, "H-How do you know…"
"Your name?" the voice gave a chuckle, causing half of the drunken people to shiver in fear, "It's just obvious on who's who in this stinkin' village…"
"SHUT UP!" Jiro yelled out, in fear and in anger, who or WHAT was this man? Suddenly, the mysterious person came walking out of the deep alley, which shocked not only the civilians but Naruto too; this alley way was a dead end, how could someone walk in here without getting harmed or seen?
But before anyone got a good look on the figures face, the man's left hand started to glow an low red color; that's when they looked at it, they were scared to death, the man's hands were claws and deep red colored too.
"d-d-demon…" muttered some civilians.
"Careful, I'm contagious," the man raised out a sharp claw near his face, showing what he actually looked like; a man, but very, very different, he was red all over, with a narrow face, purple dreadlocks, and yellow eyes and irises.
The creature walked towards the Chuunin and scratched the poor ninja in his arm. The next thing happened was very strange; the chuunin started to glow red and stared to melt, all his skin melting off his body and his muscles bursting off his bones like plastic bubbles. The next thing that happened was Jiro's body, now a heap of nothing but blood and scraps of skin tissues. "You… you monster!" yelled out a civilian holding a broken bottle of sake.
Naruto was currently hiding from both the civilians and this man; he was so scared that he started to huddle even smaller. What Naruto didn't realize is that the man was looking at him with worry and concern for the poor kid, 'Kushina, if you were alive right now,' the man thought silently, 'you would see how these people treat your baby so badly...'
Suddenly, three more Chuunin came from the mob, all holding out kunais in defenses. "Too easy," the man said, and wiped the floor with the three at once, not even missing a beat to their attacks, killing them all with his killer claw. Once he was done, the man looked back to the mob, which now had fear in their eyes. The man smirked and walked slowly, but deadly, towards the mob, giving them even more fear to their hearts.
"W...who are you?" whimpered a civilian man.
The man smirked; sending chills down the civilian's spines. He looked at them, giving them an impression to never mess with him. "If anyone harms one hair on the Naruto again, this vile village will be literally burn by me." The man raised his claw hand and like before, made his claw burn and radiate some heat from it, causing more civilians to shiver in fear, "If you want something to fear more than the fox, then fear me, THRAX: THE RED DEATH."
Thrax gave out a menacing laugh, causing the mob to run like hell away from this mad man-creature thing as soon as they can, and spreading his warning for death.
~O*O*O*O*O~
As the mob ran for their lives, Thrax looked back at the little boy at hand; turns out that Naruto slept through it all, still curled up with tears slipping over his cheeks. Thrax gave out a thankful sigh, happy that the little guy was okay, but now he needed to start a trust with him first. He got down to the ground and lightly shoved the blonde awake. As Naruto started to wake up, Thrax got a glimpse of the kid's eyes and was amazed how light blue they were.
But when Naruto woke up, he saw the strange man right near him. At first, Naruto wanted to scream his little lungs, but when Naruto looked at the man's eyes, he didn't see malice or hatred; no, he saw deep understanding and sadness. What controlled Naruto that day he didn't know, but he will always remember it; as soon as Naruto got up, he stood up, a little wobbly at first from running but walked over to Thrax slowly and hugged him around his neck. Naruto soon slipped into sleep again, his little body tired of the running and the Kyuubi inside him was healing his wounds.
Now Thrax thought he knew how the kid was going to react on seeing him (which included screams and insults), but never in the virus-turned-half-demon life did he had a young child hug him. With the reaction of an uncle, Thrax held Naruto closer, hearing the kid whisper in his sleep that this wasn't a dream and he would be protected by him. Thrax got up with the little fishcake (Thrax laughed a bit when he first heard of the kids name before hand), and both of them ran through the roof tops with ease.
They soon appeared at the kid's home, and as they reached the apartment door Thrax growled inwardly; how could someone consider themselves as a God among Shinobi if they don't protect the weak and defenseless from the evil around them. But Thrax didn't need to worry about that right now; he needed to get things for Naruto and him, but how…?
"Well, well, well~," said a familiar voice, "you seem very parental right now, Thrax."
Thrax almost dropped the sleeping Naruto, and took a deep breath. "Ya know," Thrax whispered out loud, "I don't think I'll get used to that, baby."
The voice softly laughed, "Well, you did said that you wanted to become real on the outside Thrax,"
"All too true Kyuubi baby," he whispered, taking Naruto to his room and placing the child in his bed. Thrax soon sat at the corner of the bed, continuing his conversation with Kyuubi. "So baby, where do I need to get the stuff?"
Inside Naruto, the Kyuubi smirked at the person outside, "Listen to me Thrax, and you might -hear me might- turn more reasonable than the common filth in this village…"
"I'm all ears baby…"
~-~-~ (Time skip) ~-~-~
After two hours in Konoha, Thrax returned to Naruto's apartment with several plastic bags in his hands, with a smug look on his face. Thrax went shopping after he made sure that Naruto was safe for the time being while he was gone (and by 'shopping', I ment that he beat the living **** out of the shop owners for food, otherwise they will surely pay the price)
Thrax placed the bags inside the fridge, not caring to put them away properly, and walked over to the couch. He sat down on it, took off his black cloak and placed it over the couch. Soon as he did this, Thrax was beat and tired, today marked day 1 of being a parent to Naruto and damn it he will get it right; no matter how tough or stupid the civilians are, he will take them down if it ment to protect his new son from harm...
~O*O*O*O*O~
