Naruto/Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony Xover.
Author's Note: FINALLY, this chapter was hard to do for some reason. Writer's block attacked me a lot...anyhow...time to answer a reviewer or two!!
Vanster X: The stories coming along very nicely. Naruto and Gaara reunited at last, oh the mayhem they will cause. Are there going to be any parings in this?
Answer: Yep, they will cause some mayhem but not yet. And I am not sure myself. I have some ideas for a pairing or two, but I am not sure whether to make a pairing or just have this as anadventure story. If I do make an pairing, it will come to life at the ending of the story. Don't worry, for those who will want to see a pairing, I will also be doing a sequel to this story once it's done.
Anyhow, now that I have answered that, ENJOY THE CHAPTER!!
Talking- "Stupid Fox"
Thinking-'You still in there?'
Bijuu/Jutsus- "Yeah Brat"
Bijuu Thinking- 'Damn Seal'
Chapter 4
Romania, Iasi
Panting could faintly be heard in the evening day, though it was overlapped by the talk of people throughout the city. A dark shape came out from on top of a building, the dark figure in the shape of a head with spiky hair, and turned left then right before jumping off of the building onto a nearby tree. A second dark figure instantly followed.
Naruto steadied himself on the tree, he hated how some of these trees weren't as big as the ones in his own world, before he was suddenly thrown against the trunk of the tree. The blond sighed and looked at his friend, now taking in his features.
He didn't look much different to him, red hair, green eyes, and pale skin. At first glance he looked like he went through the trip here without any trouble, but now as he got a better look at his friend he saw a few differences. The dark outlines around his eyes were sharper, almost slightly slanted as two dark points from the rings pointed at each other, almost touching each side of the teen's nose.
His eyes were still green, but now where his pupils used to be was a four point star, but unlike what he had seen with Shukaku's eyes, Gaara didn't have the four blue dots in his eye. His hands now had claws, from he could feel as Gaara squeezed his neck and held him against the tree. His ears, while not as bad as his own fox ears, were pointed and mildly longer than normal. His teeth were now fangs, from the snarl on the Suna shinobi's face he could see them poking about an inch or so from his mouth.
The most shocking appearence of Gaara though was something almost like his own problem, one large, brown tail swung slowly behind the boy, blue lines running along it to it's red tip. It when pointed at Naruto's face as Gaara spoke.
"Uzumaki....where are we? Why did you stab me with this dart? And where have you been?" said the teen calmly, but Naruto knew he was anything but calm right now. From the look in Gaara's eyes, one of worry, fear, and anger, he knew he had to keep Gaara calm or something bad could happen.
He sighed while pointing to Gaara's arm, and when he didn't feel his neck being released, he started, "Gaara...for starts...we are in a country called Romania....in the city Iasi." At Gaara's confused look, from not understanding where they were, he explained.
"You probably never heard of it....you probably wouldn't ever had heard it all your life...the only reason you are is because Gaara.....we aren't anywhere near the Elemental Nations....or any place like that. Gaara....you may not believe what I say, but we aren't even in our own world. We are in a completely different dimension." He closed his eyes and waited for the laughing, or denial of such a stupid thing, but heard nothing.
He opened his eyes and looked into Gaara's cold green eyes, seeing that he took this serious and motioned with his tail to continue. He wondered how they knew how to use their tails even when they never had them before, instinct he guessed. "Uzumaki...what do you mean in a different world?"
"It is what I mean...this is our planet, the same earth we have lived in...but not the same world. We are in a different reality. This reality, is one that the Bijuu...the demons in our bodies...originally came from." said Naruto, his voice calm yet emotional, his feelings of not being in his own world apparent but he has resign himself to knowing that there might not be a way back. He would try to find a way, but as Kyuubi said, there might not be one.
Gaara raised his eyebrow, well the space where his eyebrow would be at, and voiced out his confusion, "Wait...if this is a different world, how did we get here? And you still haven't answered why you stabbed me with that dart."
"Well....this is a short version of the whole story....Ten thousand years ago, in this world, humans were at war with a group of beings called 'Fairies'," as Naruto continued his story, he ignored Gaara's skeptical look, "with there being Eight Families, or species, of fairies. One of these families, demons, where our own demons come from, was part of this war. But with the sheer number of humans, the fairies knew that they couldn't win, so they all agreed to move underground and let the humans have the surface. Well all agreed, except the demons.
"They decided to move their island, Hybras, out of time using a very powerful spell, or what we would think of as a Jutsu, and would wait to regroup to attack the humans again. Sadly though, something went wrong with their spell, Kyuubi told me it doesn't know what happened, but it sent the warlocks that had used the spell into who knows where, and the apprentice warlocks, or who we know as the Bijuu now, into our world. They got their power from the time tunnel they went through and changed into the forms they are now when they landed in our world." finished Naruto, now letting Gaara go through what he had been told.
Gaara slowly released his grip on Naruto's neck, taking a step back while his mind went through this information. Though he knew most people would shrug it off as a joke or a pile of crap, he knew that his friend was serious about this. The look in his eyes told of the sadness of that reality, that they were no longer with their village, with their friends and family. Plus, even if it did seem farfetched, they were two teens with the power of demons at their disposal, nothing was too out of there for them.
His ears twitched as he heard the sound of something swinging through the air behind him and looked back, only to see a brown tail. He looked down it's tail to see it connected to himself. He then looked at his hands, and slowly opened and closed them, seeing his nails now claws. 'Naruto....is serious about this...but what happened to me? Shukaku!'
"Calm down boy...this is a result of going through a time tunnel....because of me being inside of you...there was more of an chance of us switching and fusing parts...." voiced the Raccoon, in a strangely calm voice.
The red head blinked at his demon's composure, 'Usually you aren't this calm....normally you would be telling me to kill everything in sight....'
"Not now....I am home and am not going to go nuts on you here....though I still enjoy death and destruction as much as any other of my kind, I do not know what this world is capable of. I do not want to go running to my death." said Shukaku, with a slight bloodlust tone as he said the words death and destruction.
Gaara shook his head and looked at Naruto, who was slightly rubbing his neck and asked, "Alright Uzumaki....I am still confused about this whole thing...but I sort of understand...but you never answered me of how we are here and why you stabbed this dart into my shoulder." As he said this, he pointed to said dart in his shoulder, dried blood around it.
Naruto sighed and sat down against the trunk of the tree, "When the warlocks messed up on the spell...they REALLY messed up on it...it was never meant to be permanent. So now...after all this time...it is unraveling. The spell they cast on Hybras, and on every other demon, including the Bijuu, is breaking up and because of us having the things sealed in our guts, we were took along for the ride back to their world." He paused for a second as he took off a glove, releasing the Henge around his arm as he showed his friend his now furry appendage, his other features showing as well.
Gaara's eyes widen as he looked at the fox-like ears, furry arm, and two tails swinging behind the blond. He then looked closely at a silver ring on his friend's finger as Naruto continued, "And the reason I stabbed you with that silver dart, is because silver is a good dimensional anchor for some reason. You have already seen the changes to yourself, and now the fucking changes to myself...we look more like our demons now and if you go through the time tunnel, chances are you are going to turn more like your demon, or lose some parts competely."
Gaara nodded as he took this all in, sitting down across from Naruto while closing his eyes. The blond knew Gaara would be taking this hard, and he now had time to think of what had just happened this day. He sighed and looked at the red head and said, "Gaara....let's move up to the top of the tree...we can rest and wait till tomorrow morning to move...I will fill you in on what else is happening here."
The Suna shinobi nodded as he and the blond jumped a bit higher into the tree to the very top, branches covering them from anyone who would look up. He watched as Naruto laid down after putting the Henge over himself and closed his eyes, calming his breathing and slowly falling to sleep.
Gaara then looked away and up into the night sky, while his thoughts went to what had just happened this day. He had finally found his friend, but now he was lost to his own village, and his remaining family. His brother and sister, probably worried about him, and would probably never see him again. When he was finally going to become Kazekage, protector of his village, where everyone was no longer afraid of him, he was now lost to it.
He heard a small snort and his demon spoke, "I will not try to pretend to be sad for you or any shit like that, but for what it's worth, I am sorry for what has happened to you. Make no mistake of this being me going soft, I merely know the same pain of being separated from the rest of my kind. I will still yell at you to kill any human we see once I know what this world can do."
Gaara nodded at this as he expected the last part from the Tanuki, the side of his mouth twitching upward, 'Thank you....and you know I will ignore your yelling like I have been this year.'
"You ungrateful little shit, you should be worshiping me for keeping you as human as possible right now! You should also be thankful I have not taken you over yet!! Once I do, I will kill every human I come across using your hands!! And furthermore" as the Bijuu ranted on about death and destruction, Gaara merely continued to look into the sky, his mind thinking of his day.

A yell of frustration rang through a hotel room, the sound of a fist banging against a wall following afterward. A young girl, about twelve years of age, had a scowl on her face, her eyes overshadowed by her curly blond hair, with her fist against the wall.
"DANG IT!! Once again we failed....what is happening?! This never happened with that first demon....now in the forest near Paris....and now here in Romania! Where the demon appears, strange phenomena follow with them!" the girl spoke, her teeth grit against each other.
A man sitting down, who was at the Palace of Culture with the girl only this afternoon, sighed and spoke up, "Darling, calm down. There are more appearances to come. More chances to show your genius." This seemed to soothe the girl, but her eyes still held an anger in them.
"I know Papa...but this is still frustrating. There are a few more materializations left before it doesn't matter anymore! Soon everyone will know about demons! Who knows what will happen to them!" ranted the girl, who was also taking deep breaths to calm herself down, opening her greenish blue eyes.
Those eyes turned to the corner of the room when she heard a snort come from there, a man with colorful, spiky hair on his head was looking up at the ceiling before he said, "Seems you aren't such a genius after all if you can't even get a demon when they show up."
The girl's eyes harden while looking at the man, "And who was the one who couldn't even shoot a dart right at said demon? Do not insult me when you couldn't do better yourself, maybe we should have the subduing section of this operation to our other guest."
The man growled at this as from the shadows of the otehr side of the room, a slight chuckle was heard. The spiky haired man glared at the shadows and spoke, "I wouldn't if I were you, there aren't many better than me at what I do. Though maybe you are right, maybe it takes a demon to capture a demon." He said the words 'demon' with venom and hate.
The chuckling stop and all was quiet before a blue, very small fireball shot out from the shadows and hit the the wall over the man's head, doing no more damage than a small black mark, due being the fireball being the size of an eyeball. A feminine voice whispered out, "I suggest you watch what you say, or else you might see real demons to where you will be going."
The man scowled at the voice, his grey steel eyes hardening before turning away, "Fine."
The blond girl nodded at the exchange before turning to the direction of the voice, "So, you are going to capture the demon this time. You were able to try in France, since you were the only one to be able to move when the blast went off, and if anything strange happens this time, you can sure do it again."
A slight motion went off in the shadows, almost like a nod as a snap was heard and a blue light filled the shadows. Everyone in the room only got a glimpse of long blond hair, slanted blue eyes, and a cat-like grin on the face of a young woman before the darkness returned and the voice spoke, "Yep, hopefully this isn't a demon like the ones I am used to. I am not sure how I could face against one like that. Just don't forget our deal."
The young girl nodded while smiling, "Don't worry, I won't forget. I will try to find a way to get you home."

Holly had loved the night sky, though she guessed that it was the time of day that fairies really saw, more over so on LEPrecon missions. She was flying over the city of Iasi, searching for the male she had seen earlier that day. Her mind then went to the moment before he jumped away into the tornado.
The shimmer...it was in the shape of a tail and it came from the assassin after Artemis. She knew that who she was dealing with wasn't a normal Mud Boy, if he was even human. And she didn't think any human could ever jump as far as he had seen him do and go through a tornado. She couldn't find him after the blast in the twister though, as she had been concerned with hiding from the Mud Men.
She did see him jump away with another figure, and knew that this was something new and strange, something that couldn't be possible in this world yet it happened. She didn't follow the two, but instead went to the hotel in which Artemis and Butler were staying and told them of what had happened.
Butler was a little sceptic about the tail, but Artemis wasn't. He wasn't sure what it was, but he knew what Holly saw was something not to ignore. And he knew that normal humans couldn't have jumped like this male did. Whoever this person was, they were highly dangerous and had to be gotten rid of or at the very least, captured.
Foaly himself also had some ideas, but none of them seemed plausible. Mostly the one where a human fused himself with an animal, really sometimes she wondered if the centaur was as smart as he made himself out to be. Then again, this was the person who wore a tin hat, thinking humans were reading his brain waves.
So here she was, looking through the city for any sign of the assassin. So far, her luck had been running low as she had seen nothing of him. She had begun to wonder if he disappeared off the face of the earth when her helmet picked up someone a few yards away. Actually two people in a large park.
She smirked and flew over there, having no fear of someone seeing her with her shield on, not even a shimmer as her suit vibrated with her. She looked on as her helmet zoomed in a picture of the two and a single thought went through her mind, 'Why are they in a tree?'
She finally saw the face of the person after Artemis. It was the face of a young male, a teen. She would have to say he was Artemis's age. His skin was tan, and he had whisker marks on his face. She wondered if they were birthmarks, seeing them trail from almost his ear to almost touching the sides of his mouth, his lips moving air in and out at a calm pace. She shook her head and looked at the rest of him. His hood was down, and he looked to be sleeping. His face looked a little bit strange for a Mud Boy, but there was a shimmer around his head, almost in the shape of two long ears. 'Maybe Foaly's ideas weren't so crazy...'
She then looked at the second person and saw it was also a young teen male, with pale skin and strange marks around his eyes. He was awake, his green eyes looking around and she blinked at the star like pupils. Now she knew that wasn't normal at all, but maybe it was a contact lens made to look that way. Mud Men did stupid things like that. He was wearing strange things that she had only seen people in Japan wear, but even they didn't dress like this anymore.
She thought of what to do with them, she would have to decide on her own as everyone else was sleeping by this time. As she was thinking of what to do, she saw the pale teen look up at her position. She had no worries, no human could see passed a fairy shiel- "I know you are there, show yourself."
Her hazel eyes widen in shock as she said nothing, staying shielded while flying in the air. They knew she was there, how could they though? They were just humans. No Mud Man could see past her shields. And what language was the boy speaking? She understand it, thanks to her gift of tongues, but she had never heard it before. It sounded strangely like Japanese.
Gaara sighed as the person, or whatever was there, didn't show themselves and turned to his friend. He stood up and walked over toe Naruto and kicked him slightly in the head.
The blood woke up with a cry, holding his head and glared up at Gaara, "What was that for!?"
Gaara turned his sight where he felt energy, no matter how slight it was, "Someone is here....they won't show themselves however but I can't see them."
Naruto froze at this while looking at the spot where Gaara was looking. If what the redhead said was true, then this was another fairy, or possibly the same fairy from before. Where were they coming from and why were they after them?
Holly decided to knock them out and then get them to answer her questions, they knew too much and were more than they seemed. She quickly drew her Neutrino from her hip and aimed it at the two. She then pulled the trigger and fired.
Gaara and Naruto saw the energy shot come at them and using only their instincts, jumped out of the tree and onto the ground. The blast ripped through the tree, leaving burnt leaves and branches in it's wake before hitting the ground. Luckily she had the gun on a low setting, and it made a low exploding sound and left a mere burnt mark on the ground.
Naruto looked up at the spot from where the blast had come from and jumped into the tree, landing on a branch then jumped to the space where the fairy was.
Holly merely flew to the side, dodging the swipe from the boy's hand and turned to the other teen. When she saw he wasn't at his spot, she looekd around before feeling something circle around her. The elf looked down and widen her eyes as sand circled around her body, quickly moving in to ensnare her. "D'Arvit (Fairy word for Damn or Fuck)!" Luckily, no one heard it with her mask being sound proof.
She raised her gun and fired at the sand in front of her. It exploded almost soundlessly as she flew out of the dust created, dust following behind her. Holly cursed in her mind, now the two teens knew where she was. 'What are these two? They both have more physical abilities than normal Mud Men at any age, and one could even control sand itself! What the fuck are these two?!'
Naruto turned to where the dust followed a seemingly invisible force and jumped at the tree. His feet touched the truck as he turned his body to face the fairy's position and jumped at the fairy. He drew back his fist and swung his hand at the fairy.
Holly looked down and saw the blond coming at her, ready to punch her. She didn't want to take any chances with the boy's strength so she aimed her handgun at the teen and was about to fire when the boy was three feet away from her, when something knocked the gun out of her hand. She narrowed her eyes at the tail shaped shimmer in front of her before that was the last of her worries. A punch to the gut really hurt.
Gaara watched from his position as his friend took on whatever was after them. Though he did blink when suddenly an object fell out of space where he felt the being was floating at, before widening his eyes at Naruto disappearing as the blond's other hand went to grab something of the being. He could still feel his chakra there though, so he wasn't worried.
Naruto smirked while he held the shoulder of the fairy in one hand, looking down at the fairy. He could guess he could now see the person as he was vibrating with them and saw a three foot tall figure dressed in a black suit that snug tightly to her body. 'Well at least I can stop thinking of the fairy as an it or just them.' thought the blond.
He drew his hand back from the fairy's stomach and held it above his head while speaking, "Well now, why don't you just fly us down and tell us why you are after us?"
Holly snarled behind her helmet at the Mud Man while turning on the loudspeakers of her helmet with her free hand, though putting the setting on low, "How about no and you tell me why you were after Fowl!"
With his left eye twitching at this, he swung his fist and punched the side of her helemt, sending her plummeting to the ground from the hard impact. Holly felt the teen left go of her shoulder and then flet the helmet give off a hiss as airbags filled the helmet, cradling her head as her body slammed against the ground. She groaned in pain at this while blue sparks ran across her body, healing her pains while her shields went down.
Naruto looked at the fairy while panting slightly, looking back at Gaara who had walked next to him. The red head looked at the blond, then the female in black, before turning back to his friend and spoke, "Naruto....what in hell is going on?"
Sighing, the blond kept his eyes on the fairy while she picked herself put. He could almost feel her glare at him, "Alright....so far, the last few days I have been here I have been following these two people, which I think are after beings like us, and right before you showed up, this same fairy was about to...." He paused as he looked at the object he had knocked away with his tail, only to have his face turn blank. "....She was going to shoot me...That's a fucking gun! Why the hell does a fairy have a gun!?"
Holly tensed at this while the airbags retreated into the helmet, more Mud Men knew of The People, how many could know? 'This is bad...they know too much....and wait....did he just say that Artemis and Butler were after people like them? But they are only........oh god.....' As a realization came to the elf's mind, the pale teen asked.
"A fairy? Wait, we are fighting a fairy? Why would they be after us in the first place?"
"I don't know!" exclaimed Naruto. "She asked why am I after Fowl, the last name of one of the two people I am chasing, and I wondered why a fairy would be asking that about a human after demons! Jeez...now I am talking about humans like I am not one of them anymore...that is creepy...."
"Not really...since you aren't human anymore....well not fully human...more like half and half now....freak...." responded the Kyuubi, chuckling while it's host twitched. 'Fuck you fox.'
Holly raised her eyebrow at this while speaking out loud, "Hey, Artemis and Butler aren't after demons! Fucking retard..."
Gaara's appearence was emotionless, but in his mind he was wondering what language was the fairy speaking. It sounded strange to him, and before he could think further on it, he felt a pain in the left side of his head. 'What the!?'
"Be quiet boy, I am doing you a favor. Just give me another second and you should understand what she is saying. You should thank me for this gift of tongues." Before Gaara could reply to this, he felt even more pain in his head before a multitude of words entered his brain. He bit his tongue to keep himself from speaking the words, his brain racing to understand each of them while he heard his friend speak.
"They aren't? Well why were they in France then when I showed up there!? They were the only ones in the forest at the time and they probably the only ones who could have shot a dart at me! They were also here as well when he showed up!" When saying 'he', the blond pointed to his friend. He decided not to give out names until they knew what was going on.
Holly snarled behind her helmet while glaring at the blond, standing up and wiping away the dust on her suit, "They were there to do calculations of the demon appearances! To see if we were right about where and when they would show up! They were here to do that as well and make sure Mud Men like you don't find out about The People!"
"The People? Don't you mean....fairies....you mean to tell me they are actually the good guys?! And don't call us Mud Men!" answered the blond, who was now very confused as hell along with his friend.
Gaara was now watching the two exchange words, which he now understood thanks to the gift of tongues, while getting what information he could. Luckily the pain in his head had went down to a small dull and he could focus on the words. To him, it seems that the people Naruto was actually chasing...was actually helping the fairy people, and this fairy was simply helping these people by going after Naruto. Knowing the blond, he must had made himself look like a threat without meaning to. He sighed, shaking his head, 'Damn what have I gotten myself into?'
"Well what else am I to call you?! Well...other than what I think you are...." said Holly, whispering the last part almost to herself. Luckily, the changes to both Naruto and Gaara had increased their hearing, and was able to hear her words much better.
"What do you think we are?" asked Naruto, wondering if she knew about them. It wouldn't be surprising, now that he thought about what he had said. Sometimes he spoke too much.
"You sure do...I swear, sometimes I think an enemy would just have to act friendly to you and you would spill your guts out to them. Not literally of course, though that would be interesting to see, muhahhaha!" chuckled the fox, and sadly Naruto had to agree. With the first part at least.
"Well...from what you said...of you appearing in France, and him," Holly pointed to the pale teen as she said this, "appearing here, then you two are demons...though you two don't look the part."
Gaara tensed, but Naruto's face showed that he had expected an answer like that. He sighed and looked at his friend, "It's alright...." The blond then turned to the fairy and nodded. "In a way...we are demons...well now we are anyway."
Holly nodded while looking at both of the teens, thinking for a second before speaking, "I think we got off to the wrong start....how about we get out of here, back to the hotel where Artemis and Butler are at, and tell our stories?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the fairy while Gaara spoke for him, "And how do we know this isn't some type of trap? You could knock us out the moment we enter that room." Though they both knew they could easily get out of most situations, they didn't know this world much and there could be things that could beat them. Such as the guns that Naruto had learned about.
Holly only shook her head, while wondering for a way for them to trust her. She then snapped her fingers, pointing at her Neutrino. "You can take that weapon of mine....this isn't a trap or anything like that...we are just trying to help the demons...so they aren't found out by Mud Men and took in as zoo animals and lab rats." As she said this, her hands closed into fists while speaking her last words.
Gaara and Naruto looked at each other while thinking about this. While they were both curious about these people, they didn't want to get into a trap. Though the weapon would be good insurance, they didn't know much about this new world. Naruto then heard his demon speak from within his mind, "Listen to the fairy.....she won't betray you."
Naruto mentally raised an eyebrow at the fox, 'How do you know she won't?'
"It is against The Book to kill another fairy, she won't harm you. And we would never betray each other." responded Kyuubi.
Naruto blinked outside of his mind, making the other two people look at his in confusion while he replied in his mind, 'The....Book?'
"Ahh yes, I never did tell you about it....while us demons aren't much for rules, we do know of The Book of The People, of the Fairies. It is our guide to living, and one of it's rules is for a fairy never to kill another fairy. So she can't kill you."
'Hmm...she does seem trustworthy....then again, so did Haku and he turned out to be my enemy for the mission....and she doesn't have to kill me...she could knock me out....'
Kyuubi smacked it's head with it's paw, it's host decided to be insightful at the worng time. The fox growled and yelled out, "You are to follow her and hear what she says or else I will give you a vexation so bad that your fucking grandkids will be able to feel it!!"
Naruto blinked at this, 'Damn, alright...wait...what is an vexation?'
"......................." Naruto waited for Kyuubi to answer at this before feeling pain in his head, he cried out and held his head while the other two looked on, himself yelling out loud, "GOD DAMN YOU FOX, WHAT THE FUCK!?"
Holly sweatdropped at this while wondering who was he yelling at, then started worrying from the yelling itself and whispered, "Shut up! Do you want everyone to hear us?!"
Naruto scowled at the fairy while shaking his head slowly to not cause it anymore pain, while yelling mentally in his head, 'WHAT IN HELL WAS THAT FOR?!'
"You didn't know what an vexation was, so I showed you. It is an annoyance, such as an headache." snickered the Kyuubi while looking at the scratch mark on the side wall of his containment, it's host was very amusing and never boring to be in. Annoying, yes, boring no.
'Damn you fox....fine...I'll follow her...though if this becomes a trap, I'm telling you 'I told you so'.' replied Naruto, rubbing his head as the pain started to go away.
"It won't....besides...you need to talk to more girls, and maybe this fellow fairy could become your mate." said the fox, cutting off the mental link between him and it's host before the boy could respond. It then roared in laughter.
Naruto twitched at this, his thoughts surrounding a certain fox and many, many ways of torture when a cough broke his thought. He turned to the direction of the sound and saw the fairy tapping her foot on the ground, and once again he could almost feel her glare at him, "The hell were you yelling at? And you ready to go?"
Gaara was silent, but mentally he was chuckling at his friend. He knew what had happened, apparently the Kyuubi got mad at it's host or something of that nature and gave Naruto on hell of an headache. Shukaku usually did the same with him, not on purpose though, but more because it's yelling for people's blood was so damn loud.
Naruto sighed and shook his head, "I'll tell you when we get to the place....it has to do something with our story....and yeah I am. Lead the way."

Butler awoke from his meditative stance within the second that the door clicked open. His dark eyes opened and looked at the door, slowly getting up and soundlessly moving the right side of the door, where the door would face as it opened. There were only three people who could enter the room without picking the lock, minus the hotel keepers, but he doubted they would be any threat. Two of the people were himself and Artemis, and it was impossible since they both were in this room, his Charge asleep. The last one was Holly, so why would she be coming back and be using the door?
He watched as Holly's unshielded form float into the room, two figures walking behind her. He instantly remembered one of them, the assassin in the red jacket with hood after Artemis. The other boy he didn't recognize, but he thought that maybe he was accomplice of the assassin. Holly must have used Mesmer, the fairy power to control one's will, to bring them here for questioning.
He rapidly moved from his spot once the door was closed, and before anyone could move, Butler had his two large hands around the teens' necks and was ready to crush them at any moment, "Ok you two...why are you after Fowl?"
Holly cursed in her mind, she should have called Butler before they came in. She didn't think of that while the two boys had followed her shielded self to the hotel, the teens said they would follow her 'chakra' trail. Even though she didn't know what chakra was, the elf had seen the red head look at her when she was shielded so they must have some type of power. They were demons, if she was correct.
"Wait! They are not here for questioning! They are just here to talk!" yelled Holly, who forgot Artemis was in the other room sleeping.
Naruto snarled in the bodyguard's grip, his hands quickly moving to remove his left glove and, even though the arm was still covered in an Henge, the claw was sharp. He swung his arm backwards, his claw aimed at Butler as his hand grabbed Butler's shoulder, his claws digging into the man's flesh and bone.
Butler winced as he felt blood seep out of him from the wound and tossed Naruto against the hotel wall. The blond widened his eyes at this while looking at the incoming wall, twisting himself in the air as his feet land against the wall and he jumped in a circle, landing on the ground on his feet, then looking at the bodyguard.
Said bodyguard turned his head while crushing the redhead's neck in his other hand, but blinekd as he looked at his hand, seeing sand fall out of it, "What the hec-." Before he could even finish his sentence, he found himself shot to a wall. He grunted and looked down, seeing sand pressing him against the wall of the hotel room. He then heard two more 'bangs' and saw the assassin and Holly also pressed against the wall with sand.
Artemis chose this time to open the door, dressed in black pjs he merely blinked before he found himself slammed against the floor. He moved his blue gaze around the room then at himself, seeing him pressed against the floor, and his bodyguard, Holly, and a boy his age with blond hair and a red jacket pressed against the walls of the room, everyone being held down by sand?
Holly struggled against the sand, glaring behind her helmet at the red head who had his hands out, each of them closed in a grip almost, "What the hell!? Let me go!!"
Gaara turned and glared at the fairy, "No, not everyone here is filled in with what is happening and I will let everyone go once I am sure no one will attack each other."
"Then why the hell do you have me held down Gaara?!" yelled out Naruto, who was fighting against the sand that held him down, though he stopped once Gaara's star like pupils turn to him. He really was pissed off.
"Because I know you Uzumaki, and you would have went at this guy," as he said this, Gaara pointed at the large man, the bodyguard it seemed of this Fowl person. "For throwing you at a wall."
Artemis only blinked while he spoke, "Holly..what is going on?"
Holly sweatdropped behind her helmet and decided to clear things up between everyone.
"Well....it seems the person who you thought was an assassin WAS after you but not to kill you....maybe....he was after you because he thinks that you were the ones who shot a dart at him in the forest of France. So he has been following you...thinking that you are after demons....because according to what he is sawing...he is the demon that appeared in France...and the red head is the demon that appeared here...though they definitely don't look the part...." said Holly, who was now a little confused herself.
Artemis raised an eyebrow at this while eying the blond and the red head, "Hmm...you two don't look anything like the demon I saw...no red skin, talons, fangs, horns or anything like that. Though from what Holly told me...the blond has a tail."
Naruto sighed and turned to Gaara, who stared at the blond before nodding, letting the tan teen go. The blond rubbed his shoulders, which were a little stiff from being pressed against the wall, before walking over to Gaara, both of them putting their hands into a seal before a cloud of smoke erupts from them, covering them before it disappears.
Everyone's eyes widen at the boys' forms, mainly looking at the ears, tails, and Naruto's left arm, which was covered in red fur, and a bit of Butler's blood. Artemis's only expression was one of shock, while Butler's face turned from surpise to wonder and Holly's face, though not seen to everyone else, was in a daze while she stuttered, "Y-you really are...."
Naruto nodded while Gaara released everyone else from their sand traps, Butler falling to his feet and walking over to his charge, helping the pale boy get to his feet while Artemis dusted himself off. Holly floated to the ground using her suit's wings then landing on the floor, taking off her helmet and looking at the two teens, "Ok...you two are certainly aren't humans....but I don't see you resembling the demons of what we know of in anyway, except the red fur but our demons have red skin."
Sighing, both Naruto and Gaara sat down while looking at everyone, Gaara speaking up first, "Well in a way we are demons, though we are still human. When we were born, we were originally human but only a few moments after we were born, well in Naruto's case that is, in my case it was before I was born, we had the souls of powerful demons sealed into us."
Naruto raised a hand as the others opened their mouths to speak, "Wait please! Damn have some patience..." He ignored the snort coming from next to him and continued, "You see, we are not from your world. If you know about demons, you probably already know about the screwed up time spell that was made. But what you didn't know was there were other warlocks that weren't in the magic circle, there were nine students of the warlocks.
"These warlocks, when the time tunnel failed, were not sent with their fellow demons with Hybras, but instead into another time tunnel and sent to our world. Yes, a different reality and crap like that. You must know it is possible for that to happen. Anyhow, as they went through the time tunnel, they had gotten magic, or to us chakra, from it and became even more powerful than any other in History. But they took on new forms when they landed in our world."
Artemis raised an eyebrow at this, "And so, because the demon souls were inside of you, were you taken along for the ride to our world because of the decaying spell. Interesting....I am guessing that your features are because of any slight merger made because of the time tunnel you were in when you got here. But how is it possible to get demon souls into you?"
Naruto sighed while Gaara blinked, wondering how he could not know. The blond replied, "In our world, our people have chakra, or to you magic I guess, and we can use it for tons of things. To controling the elements to making clones of ourselves, to even ripping souls out and summoning other worldly beings if someone was a strong enough shinobi."
Butler snorted at the word, deciding to speak up, "Shinobi? You mean ninjas?"
Nodding at the question, Naruto continued, "Yes, ninjas. During the four days I have been here, I have seen the differences between our world and your world. Mainly the military, where you use soldiers with guns and all that, we use ninjas wtih knifes and such. Of course we also have Jutsu, or techniques that are very powerful but your world well....is on a much larger scale than anything we have."
Holly shook her head while chuckling, "Fucking..amazing."
The blond boy grinned at this, "Yep, I was also about to die before I appeared in the forest in France."
Gaara turned to Naruto with a questioning look on his face, "Wait...you have been here for four days...but how? You have been gone for 3 weeks back in our world before I came here."
Artemis coughed and explained, "Well since the tunnel that sent....Naruto was it?" At said blond's nod, the Fowl boy continued, "When Naruto was sent into the tunnel, he was sent to our world at an unknown time to your world and your world could possibly be going at a much faster rate of time than our own world. Of course, it could be that both of our worlds go at the same rate but Naruto was sent into the 'future' in a way.'
Naruto groaned and held his head, "Too...much...hurting head....Ok I have had it with the science and smart crap...."
The elf grinned, "This is nothing, you should hear Foaly. You will get a real headache trying to understand his science talk."
Artemis sighed while looking at the two other teens, "Well it seems we got onto the wrong foot so to speak....how about we clean the slate and properly introduce ourselves? Artemis Fowl, 14 years of age." The pale teen held out his hand to the two.
Naruto blinked at this while shrugging, taking Artemis's hand and shaking it, "Sure, fine by me. Uzumaki Naruto, 14 years old."
Gaara also took Artemis's hand once Naruto let go, "Sabaku no Gaara, age 14."
Butler raised an eyebrow at the two teens, "Aren't you two a little young to be Shinobi, you know killers of the night and all that?"
Gaara shrugged, "Not really, we are trained at an age of 7 to become ninja, and become ninja at ages twelve or thirteen. Of course, then we are only Genin and aren't that strong, you don't really get dangerous possibility of killing missions until you are Chunin. Which you can turn into at any age once you are a Genin, but you have to be very strong, have excellent leadership skills, and tactical prowess." The redhead failed to tell them that he had been killing before he was even a ninja, but if they asked he would tell them then.
Holly nodded while looking around with her hazel eyes, "What now?"
Artemis closed his eyes and let a small smile form on his lips, "Well, since you two were after me since you thought I was after demons, how about you actually help with capturing potential demon kidnappers?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow at this, "Actual kidnappers? You mean there are others?! We have to get to the other demons spots!"
Artemis nodded while standing up, "Yes, there might be others. And don't worry, we will get them. With your ninja abilities, which I need you to tell me about before we leave, it should be easy to be done."
Gaara smirked at this, "Where are we heading to?"
"The next demon materialization spot of course, in a city called Catania." concluded Artemis, with a smirk on his face."
