Chapter 4
Naruto was sitting in his chair as the woman slid her hands back to his shoulders and began massaging his shoulders as she started trailing kisses that bordered on hickeys/ bites, along the sides of his neck.
Naruto soon found himself leaning into the touch of not only the woman's hands but her mouth as well with a pleased moaning sound escaping his throat before he could stop it.
"It will work, theses insects won't stand a chance. Now why are you so tense?" the woman spoke with conviction which turned to aggression and ended in concern having stopped using her mouth to lavish her affection and need upon his neck. Yet she only did so long enough to give Naruto another push to make those that hurt him pay and voice her concern for him before returning her mouth's attention back to Naruto's neck. During which she savored in the taste of his surplus spiritual energy that was leftover from when his body combined his spiritual and physical energy to make his chakra. Of which his body then simply expelled from his body, acting as a beacon for all demonically originated creators due to them needing it to retain their physical forms.
"Must you do that?" Naruto asked knowing the woman didn't need spiritual energy thanks to her being half human.
"Have you really forgotten, I still need spiritual energy to retain my strength when I'm away from home." the woman said in a hurt and pouting tone getting a sigh of defeat from Naruto.
"Fine you win," Naruto relented as the woman grinned victoriously
"Please don't be upset with me, I just can't get over how good your spiritual energy is. I'd stop if I could but…" the woman began to ramble as Naruto could hear her struggling to hold back her tears.
'If I ever find the bastard that made her like this I'll gut him like a pig,' Naruto thought as he unsealed his mp3 player and a speaker and remembered the day the woman told him of how her "father" had kidnapped her mother a few years ago only to treat her as a sex slave. Then how when she was born her "father" had been abusive to her whenever she did something that wasn't human behavior.
Not long after that Naruto had found that her mother had taken the first chance she had to get her daughter to the home of the kitsune. Sadly doing so had killed her in the process due to her already extremely weakened condition.
Upon feeling tears running down the back of his neck Naruto shook his head before he proceeded to hit play on the mp3.
No sooner had the music filled the cavern that Naruto had stood up and pulled the woman into a comforting hug as he gently sung the words that matched the music, knowing it would be the only way to calm the woman down.
I can see every tear you've cried
Like an ocean in your eyes
All the pain and the scars have left you cold
I can see all the fears you face
Through a storm that never goes away
Don't believe all the lies that you've been told
I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the One who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here
I will show you the way back home
Never leave you all alone
I will stay until the morning comes
I'll show you how to live again
And heal the brokenness within
Let me love you when you come undone
I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the One who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here
When daybreak seems so far away
Reach for my hand
When hope and peace begin to fray
Still I will stand
I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the One who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here
When the rain falls I won't let go
I'll be right here
When the music stopped Naruto picked the woman up and laid her on the single bed, having noticed she had cried herself to sleep.
As the woman slept Naruto watched as her form shifted from a 20-year-old unrivaled beauty to that of a girl of equal age to Naruto and as equally stunning.
Her appearance was that of a young Japanese woman just entering her adolescent years with an already buxom figure for a girl her age. Though it was to be expected given her kitsune/yokai part of her blood. She had long black hair with a blue tint that extends all the way down to her hips, with several bangs hanging over her forehead and side bangs that frame her face. She had her had her hair as she usually did. It was in a long ponytail with a pink bow holding it in place. She sported violet eyes that were currently closed. (Picture Himari Noihara from the anime Omamori Himari)
Yet her physical body wasn't the only thing that changed, her clothes changed with her. Where she had been wearing a fancy blue and white, strapless dress (picture Erza's dress in episode 223 of Fairy Tail) she now wore the armor she had hand made to look like that of the anime character Erza Scarlet and her Robe of Yuen armor. Most would have thought it to be simple cloth, which is what she wanted as she had painstakingly interwoven string into a set of custom made mesh armor. Then she had sewed a layer of cloth on top and behind it as well to ensure no one would be able to tell the difference unless they picked the armor up. The next difference was that she had copied the breastplate, forearms, shoulder, and boot/ shinguard combination from Erza's lightning emperor armor as well to add it to the outfit as well. The last thing about the armor was that she had changed the coloring of it. Everything on her torso including the cloth between her legs was a crimson red, the metal on her forearms, shoulders, and shins where a dark blue outlined in crimson red over the black materials that made of the glove that ran ¾ of the way up her arm, and her boot/ninja sandals that reached mid thigh. Both of which had mesh armor interwoven into them as well
Noticing she didn't have her dual katanas that she always had attached to either of her hips as well as her missing her scroll that was identical to his own, which she carried in the same was as he himself did, Naruto immediately looked to words the door only to see them against the wall right by the exit
At the sight of where her missing gear had been Naruto let out a breath of relief now knowing she had purposely come here and not that she had been forced to escape from something.
As Naruto watched her in an attempt to ensure she wouldn't be waking up anytime soon, he noticed her mumbling something with a blush before a pair of pure white fox ears popped out of her hair along with an equally white fox tail springing out from behind her, through a carefully hidden hole in her clothes, which immediately began swishing back and forth happily.
Wondering what type of dream could make her falter in holding in her ears and tail as she slept, Naruto leaned in so that his ear was almost right against her lips.
After a couple seconds Naruto had jerked back with a small bit of blood beginning to leave his nose.
Not wanting to chance him gaining her anger, Naruto was about to walk out of the cavern when something white wrapped around his waist and pulled him onto the bed with two limbs wrapping around his chest.
Next Morning, Hokage Office
Minato was nervous, he and the rest of the shinobi council had spent all night trying to find a way to PEACEFULLY convince Naruto to enter the shinobi academy. So when the Anbu he had sent to look for Naruto had come back with Naruto, Minato wanted to breathe a breath of relief as he had been unsure if Naruto would even be willing to set foot past the walls that surrounded the tower let alone his office.
Sadly for him, he was denied that when he watched Naruto enter the room with a girl wrapped around his arm. Normally the sight would have pleased Minato as he would have been happy his son was so close to someone of his own age and a girl at that. Yet this wasn't normal thanks to Naruto having run away and Minato having never seen this girl before. Which made her a very big unknown to him.
"You wanted to see me, Hokage," Naruto spat out with clear disdain in his voice
"Yes, I would like to see YOU," Minato said stressing the word, you, in hopes that they would get the hint and the girl would wait outside.
"If you think I'm leaving MY Naruto-kun alone with you, then you're sadly mistaken you bastard," the girl spat out in an extremely possessive and aggressive manner with the stance of both making it clear that Naruto was holding the girl back. Though they hid it well as even most seasoned shinobi wouldn't have been able to detect the hidden body language that screamed 'I will gut you like the damn swine you are'.
"Anything you can say to me you can say in front of Himari as well or we're done here," Naruto said as he struggled to not show his smirk at the fear in Minato's eyes. Normally Naruto wouldn't have been able to see it but having the living embodiment of every dark emotion trapped in your gut did come with its perks. Especially when said embodiment saw you as their own child.
"Very well," Minato said as he swallowed the saliva in his mouth. "As you have stated that you wish to gain answers about something in the village I was going to suggest you be enrolled into the ninja academy. It would provide you a means to gain others that could help you gain the answers you seek," Minato said praying to any deity that would listen that this didn't blow up in his face.
"Don't you mean so you can turn me into a weapon for the village, and chain me to it once I graduated unless I'm willing to have Hunter-nin after me when I leave?" Naruto said heatedly.
Naruto may have agreed to Himari's plan and was happy as hell that he was getting access to the first part of his plan without having to give up something that could prove to be vital later on, yet that didn't mean he wouldn't make the bastard sweat a little. If he didn't it would cause suspicion to develop and that was the last thing he needed.
"I wouldn't dream of it! *Sigh* look Naruto, I know you probably won't believe me but I laid do want you to be happy. I know I haven't been the best f…" Minato before he was cut off by Naruto who had a murderous look on his face and was now being actively restrained by Himari.
"FINISH THAT SENTENCE AND I'LL RIP YOUR MOTHER FUCKING HEAD OFF ONLY TO CRAM IT UP YOUR OWN ASS! YOU LOST ALL RIGHT TO EVEN THINK OF YOURSELF AS MY FATHER YOU BASTARD. THAT'S A TITLE YOU GAVE UP OVER ELEVEN THIRTEEN YEARS AGO," Naruto yelled as the Kyuubi covered him in three tails worth of his chakra.
Knowing full well what would happen if Naruto forcibly drew of another tails worth of power, Himari was forced to enter her true form of a human with fox ears and a fox tail. Using her enhanced strength she stuck her foot out in front of Naruto as he released him making him trip as he went to charge Minato. Seeing her chance Himari pulled him backward slamming him down on his back and quickly pinned him as she crammed her mouth over his in a lustful and passion filled kiss and quickly slipping her tongue into his mouth.
The moment Himari did this Naruto's rage left as he was shocked out of it. When he realized just what had happened he mentally thanked his TRUE father before returning the borrowed chakra. When the cloak reseeded he wasn't surprised that Himari had yet to stop her actions and was actually interested them as her arms were now wrapped around his neck while she was slowly grinded her hips into his not giving a damn that they had an audience.
Realizing that if he didn't stop her things were only going to advance further, Naruto bit down on Himari's tongue just hard enough that it would stop her movement of said appendage. Yet all he got in return was a happy, and lust filled moan as she ground her hips into his harder. At this point, Naruto then noticed how her eyes were now glowing and the pupils had becoming slits as well, meaning he had somehow triggered her mating season prematurely.
'Damn it to hell! What did you do Otou-san?!' Naruto yelled in his head
"Me… I'm shocked you would think I, your loving father, had anything to do with this," Kurama replied in a fake innocent tone yet failed miserably at keeping the sarcasm and slight chuckle out of his voice.
'I don't buy your act, now spill or do you want me to come in there and do THAT to you like I did the last time you decided to screw with me,' Naruto replied heatedly making the Kyuubi pail to a shade of white that would make the Shinigami envious as a shiver of fear ran through him.
"Go ahead and complain all you like, you need what WILL happen just as much as Himari. So stop being so damn stubborn and accept it already. You can be as angry at me as you like but this is for your own good. Which we both know I mean it when I say that, I'm not like the bastard Hokage. I want you to be happy like any father would, but that won't happen until you accept this," Kurama said in a strict fatherly tone to show he wasn't budging on this and truly was doing what he was for Naruto's benefit.
'DAMN IT, I DIDN'T WANT HER TO GET DRAGGED INTO THIS MESS,' Naruto yelled in frustration.
"Kit, she already is. Look at her eyes, and I mean really look, past all the lust and desire and what do you see," Kurama asked as Naruto did as instructed "That's right, love." Kurama said confirming naruto's thoughts before he continued "A love so deep that she is physically needing you to accept her and a craving for you to return her feelings. This is the bond between mates, it's a bond beyond the human compensation. You two are connected in a way that on the Inuzuka can't even begin to comprehend. The longer you take to accept this the more harm you do to not only her but yourself. Or have you forgotten that you started the process," Kurama said in a caring tone as he remembered how frightening it was for him when he first found his own mate. He was petrified to accept it for what it was and to let her in, to let her past his emotional walls, to let himself become truly vulnerable to another, having already had his trust in others nearly shattered by humans and their apparent need to hurt others.
Something he was now glad had happened as it did because it was the same for Naruto which allowed him to help guide his kit through something that would otherwise be one of the hardest things, possibly even the most impossible thing, he would have to face in his life.
Upon hearing his Otou-san's question Naruto snapped his eyes in the direction of the door knob only to see the pupils of his own eyes had become slits as well and were also glowing a different color, a vibrant yellow with blue slitted pupils.
Gulping Naruto vanished from the office in a swirl of blue flames taking Himari with him.
Cavern
There was a sudden swirl of blue flames as Himari and Naruto appearing on the only bed in the cavern with Himari laying on her back with Naruto hovering over her. After a second of looking at Himari Naruto crushed his eyes shut only to have them snap open in shock. No sooner had he closed his eyes then he felt Himari's gently resting her hands against his cheeks as she used her thumbs to wipe away the tears that were unknowingly running down her face.
"It's ok, I can wait until you're ready. I'll always wait for you," Himari said in a tender voice as Naruto broke with Himari pulling him into a comforting hug.
It was hell for her to be fighting against her demonic fox instincts but right now her mate was pushing himself to do something he wasn't anywhere close to being ready to do: let his emotional walls down enough to take that step. Not only that but it seemed that with every wall Naruto let down there were new issues and emotional scars that had to be worked through and with each wall it was clear that each wall had been on the brink of being forcibly brought down by all of the issues that the wall that trapped behind themselves.
'I can only imagine how bad he is really hurting. It scares me to think of what he'll be like when we get to his last wall… Damn this village! I'll make them suffer for what they've done to my mate,' Himari thought sorrowfully before it merely fueled her already burning murderous rage to burn that much hotter.
Himari had just finished her thoughts when a giggle stopped her from continuing her thinking.
"So am I to assume I have a new daughter," a melodious voice asked making Himari snap her attention to at woman at the entryway only to have her eyes widen and mouth drop at who stood before her.
With Naruko
Naruko was pissed at herself, she had been going over any options she had to start making amends to her relationship with her brother when her mind keep rejecting everything of the few things she actually thought about trying. Yet that was only part of what was pissing her off at herself so much, every time her mind would reject an idea the last time she had even seen her brother would flash through her mind.
Flashback
An eleven-year-old Naruko was in a bad mood. She hated having to become a ninja. She was forced to constantly train all while her slightly older brother got to do as he pleased all day long. She was envious of him, he was free to come and go as he pleased and got to do as he liked when he liked.
Though if she would have looked at her brother's situation without the envy clouding her judgment she would have seen how much Naruto was suffering. Which was what a small part of her was saying for her to do, but being ten years old her emotions were more of a guiding force for her than logic. Something she would later come to regret.
"Hey Nii-san, look what daddy taught me," Naruko said as she walked up to the first step on the jungle gym in one of the local parks that her brother had been reading a book at.
"Why don't you go show it to Kushina then," Naruto said as he had no longer seen Minato and Kushina as his family for over a week and had taken to calling them by name.
"Oh what, are you jealous that I get to go to the academy and you don't, that I get to live your dream," Naruko ask heatedly do to the annoyed tone of her brother making her mad.
"Just leave me alone," Naruto struggled to get out as he held back tears. It hurt that his sister got all the attention, the praise, the kind looks from the village, the presents, and worst of all…. His dream. Meanwhile, he got nothing but scorn and hatred. If he showed his parents something he had done it wasn't ever good enough, he had made the guest house that the family now used as an over glorified storage unit. He designed and built models of weapons to defend the village, even going so far as to convince one of his "guards" to demonstrate it in front of his parents. Yet all it earned him was scolding and a week full of spankings. The same happened when he told his godfather about a seal theory he had. The next day Jiraiya said it worked like a charm and his theory was so easy to understand that he was able to master it within an hour.
When his parents heard this they pulled him off to the side and Kushina used her chains to spank him.
"Your nothing but a whore that I don't want anything to do with. You get everything I've dreamt of handed to you and it's still not enough," Naruto said trying to drive Naruko away when she refused to leave and kept grinding salt into one of his biggest wounds. He may not have known what the word whore meant but he knew it was a bad name to be called.
Naruko, on the other hand, did know what the word meant as one of the classes she had in the academy talked about how some missions would require them to act different parts such as that of a whore.
When Naruko heard this she fumed and before she realized what was happening.
"At least I'm not a freak with a nine-tailed fox demon sealed inside of him," Naruko hissed out making every child around scream and run away.
When Naruko got home and told her parents what happened they sent her to her room after her first spanking and a long scolding lecture about breaking her word about not saying a word about her brother's burden. After which she vowed to apologize and make it up to her brother somehow, but she never got the chance as Naruto never came home that night or any other night after that for the next two years.
Flashback End
As Naruko walked down the street an idea suddenly hit her and she looked around her surroundings, once she had her bearings on how far she was from where she wanted to go she took off across the rooftops.
When she got to her destination she gave them the specifics of what she wanted and how it was to be made. After a few hours wait, Naruko walked from the building with her newly wrapped present.
"Hopefully this will be a good first step," Naruko said as she began her walk back home only to have to stop.
"HEY NAMIKAZE," Came the yell that filled the air making Naruko groan. She REALLY wasn't in any mood to deal with this dumbass.
Ok, first up is that the song used in this chapter was Right here by Ashes remain. Secondly this chapter is in now way shape and or for a confirmation of the story pairing, this was strictly meant to advance the storyline more and show part of Himari's wants when it comes to Naruto. Weather or not I will pair them together is completely up in the air right now. I did have a pairing in mind when I started this story but it has partially evolved from what I had first entended. However I can assure you that a pairing will be announced by the time I get to the 2 and a half year time skip or sometime after that as there are several I am considering. Thirdly I now have a beta reader now as always please remember to review.
