Chapter 6

Deals Made. Survival or Death?


Last Chapter
For a second nothing happened. Then, an intense white light radiated from Howaido.

Although the light seared their eyes none could look away. They were mesmerized by the form that Howaido's intense chakra took.

Nine twisting, coiling fox tails.


Within Naruto something stirred

"Nine chakra tails…"

Those three words seemed to break the spell that Howaido's chakra had on the onlookers. With a feral sounding scream Naruto fell to the floor clutching at his stomach.

Howaido turned his face up at Zabuza with his eyes shut. When he opened them they were black and gold and red.

"I know those eyes from somewhere."

"Don't remember, eh, Zabuza? Here, let me remind you." Howaido forced his protesting body to move, and in a single fluid motion he stood, drew his katana, and executed a simple diagonal slash on Zabuza. All in the blink of an eye.

Zabuza leaped back, a paper thin cut on his torso. "Heh, not bad kid but still not good enough…"

Zabuza made as if to keep talking but was cut off, "So Zabuza ya still don't remember me huh? I guess I'll need to make it crystal clear."

Howaido held the katana horizontal before him, griping the hilt with two hands. He turned his face down and began to speak.

"I think its time… SING A FUNERAL SONG! TAISEU!" Howaido's sword began to glow and shift. When it stopped moving it was a completely different blade.

Double-edged, it began two feet wide at the hilt, gradually narrowing to half a foot at the middle of the blade then widening again then finally curving to a deadly point at the tip.

"Taiseu hasn't shown herself in soooo long, she reeeaaally wants to sing you a dirge. /Would you deny a lady her simple pleasures/"

Howaido looked up; Zabuza's blood ran cold at the expression on Howaido's face.

"Yami Howaido, now I remember you, Howaido is too injured to keep fighting?"

"/Yes, Hai, correct, affirmative. Yep, yep, yep. To hurt, to injured, to weak to keep goin! But not meh, oh no, no, no, not meh. Now I'm gonna kill ya, destroy ya, slaughter ya! It's gonna be soooo much fun, haven't fought, haven't killed, haven't felt warm blood in ages. Wanna help meh, indulge meh, help meh get meh fill of death/"


In Howaido's Mindscape
"Damn, I dropped my defenses to much, I let him through, he won't stop at Zabuza, and he'll kill them all. If we're lucky my blood loss will kill him. Can't you put me back in control?" Howaido looked up at the regal looking woman, white kimono, white hair, white eyes. The spirit of his sword, Taiseu.

When she spoke her voice was a whisper, "i'm sorry, love, but in the state you're in, you'll just die sooner. i can't allow that, love. you still have a part to play in this word, and death is not your part, love."

"Then what is my part, love, Huh?"

"you will know soon enough…i must go, i will return shortly." With that Taiseu glided down the corridors of his mind and vanished.


Back in reality
The clearing was unrecognizable from when they arrived in it. The battle between Yami and Zabuza had all but destroyed all the trees in the area and more than once Team Seven and Tazuna had almost gotten dragged into the fray. Naruto was still grasping his stomach occasionally shouting out unintelligible feral noises.

Suddenly a pillar of red chakra shot out of Naruto's stomach and wrapped around Yami's writhing chakra tails, injecting itself into his body. With an odd noise the fatal wound on Yami's chest closed, leaving only a thin, pale scar.

Then with a horrendous ripping and shredding noise the blood red chakra tore seven of the white chakra tails away, and with a whoosh it and its "passengers" returned to Naruto's stomach.

"/NO, NO, NO, NO! I just got out, I just started this fight, I aint done yet/"

"Disappear."

"/NOOOO/"

With that the insane look on Howaido's face vanished, leaving only an exhausted look.

Howaido turned away from Zabuza and looked at Naruto's form with his Taiseugan. He saw the massive silhouette of a nine tailed fox devouring seven writhing white tails, with each tail it consumed Naruto's chakra grew more intense.

Before losing conciseness he said "Taiseu, what have you done?"


A/N:

Does anyone know just what Taiseu did? Send me a private message if you think you do, don't put it in reviews or people will steal your thought. If you guess right I'll add you to my fave authors.

Oh and you have two more chapters to vote for the pairings before they are locked in.

You have till the start of the forest of death to vote for Naruto and Howaido's curse seals.

Now what I said at the beginning of the first chapter I take back, if the characters are OC, well, it's my story so freakin' deal with it.
