Hello everyone,
I decided that I am only going to do four stories at a time so vote for which stories you want to be done. Because starting August I will only be posting those four stories until one finishes and then I will set up another voting where we can put another one in the four. I will also be only posting once a week again. So look forward to my postings being on Saturdays again.
Check out the polls and vote if you really want a story done faster. Once school starts for me again I don't think I will be able to post or write as much as I want so I want to get something done before school starts.
Enjoy the chapter...
"This couldn't get any worse." Sasuke complained as he looked at the damp cave.
Naruto made no attempt to talk about the state of the cave and carelessly walked deeper into it not knowing what could happen. All of sudden the cave started to cave in like Naruto stepped on a mine or something. No one could get to him in time so that left everyone on one side and the others on the other side. They left that camping area all feeling better about the situation now that Sasuke and Naruto were now on speaking terms. But now they were in caves that looked like they would cave in at any moment which by everyone's surprise they did and split Naruto from the group.
"NARUTO! What should we do?" Sasuke screamed.
"We can't move the rocks or the cave will fall some more." Kurama said.
"Damn it," Naruto said climbing more into the cave. "Just meet me outside the cave." Naruto screamed as he went further inside the cave.
"DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID NARUTO! PROMISE!" Sasuke and Kurama screamed but it went on deaf ears because Naruto was already gone deeper into the cave.
The thing is if they tried to move any of the rocks the cave would have just caved in more so they left it be saying they would find ways out and meet back up together.
"What the hell am I going to do now?" Naruto asked himself looking around the high up forest he was in from getting out the cave.
Naruto assumed that they would find him eventually but the others were going to be on the bottom of the forest.
"Well this is definitely going to be boring." Naruto said jumping to a tree away from the cave.
Naruto kept walking up, not exactly sure where he was going but a pull was dragging him the way he was going. As he walked he started to hear a voice.
'This place is so lonely without the clan here.' The demon said.
Naruto continued to walk toward the voice. When he got to the open field he saw a beautiful white crow demon. It was a Tengu. Naruto just kept staring at it mesmerized by its beauty.
"Neji," Naruto said making the Tengu look down at him.
The Tengu flew to him, "you named me." Neji said in a beautiful tone that made Naruto smiled.
"You are not alone anymore." Naruto said gently reaching his hand out to touch Neji's long chocolate hair.
Neji didn't say anything aside from getting himself shaped into a human form that left him a little bit taller than Naruto. Neji didn't have pupils in his eyes but his eyes were white grey that were completely and utterly beautiful that Naruto found himself lost in them. But it also made Neji look blind.
"Let's get going." Naruto said and turned toward going to the lower forest.
"You smell like you have other Obake." Neji said his nose twisting in disgust.
"Yes I have six at the moment but I have one more to find." Naruto said with Neji in tow going down the steep mountain.
"Would it be better if I just flew down with you?" Neji asked.
"Maybe," Naruto said as he watched Neji's wings come out his back.
"Hold on," Neji said and they set out flying.
Naruto liked the height they were in but he didn't see any Obake anywhere.
"Where the hell could they be?" Naruto questioned out loud.
Neji just looked down at him until he saw something from the corner of his eye. It was an arrow heading directly for them. He couldn't let his new master get hit.
"Neji, there is people up ahead fly lower so no one spots us." Naruto said not knowing someone already spotted them.
"What should I do if someone already spotted us? And there is an arrow coming right toward us." Neji asked swiftly moving out the way from the arrows coming at them.
"Shit, fly lower." Naruto said ducking himself.
"Yes sir," Neji said going lower and landing in a tree.
"You don't have to call me sir. Call me Naruto. We're friends now. Do you like your name? I can always change it." Naruto said sitting down waiting for the samurai to disappear.
"It's a fine name. I don't know what I would even change it too having the option. How did you come up with it?" Neji asked sitting next to Naruto.
"I don't know the name sort of just called out to me." Naruto said.
"Do you think we have names and just don't know them until our master calls them to us?" Neji asked pondering in his own thoughts.
"You know what, that is a brilliant theory that I will ask Tsunade the next time we go by her. But right now we need to get down the hill because we're not safe here." Naruto said pulling his sword to his side.
He would fight if he had to but he really didn't want to fight samurai. Naruto always had a weapon but no one ever really saw it because he tended to use his abilities for his advantage. But he really couldn't use his abilities at the moment because they would go wild at the moment since the spell them casted a few days ago with Tsunade.
"Are you even good at that Master?" Neji asked as he saw the sword.
"I was trained with a sword for years but always relied on my powers. It's dangerous to use my powers right now. They are kind of unstable at the moment." Naruto said as they quickly lowered down toward the ground.
"Okay if you say so." Neji said as he lowered Naruto to the ground.
The samurai were quick and came out the bushes ready to attack. Neji flew two of them away with his wings. He didn't really want to spend time battling mere humans. He thought it was pointless and a waste of his energy.
"Master," Neji said in awe by Naruto's skills with a sword he moved it with swift precision and precise movements.
Naruto made sure not to kill any of the samurai knowing Itachi would be mad if he did by chance kill one of his men. Neji was just shocked by the attacks that weren't lethal but were knocking the guys out. He had his wings so he would just blow them away.
"Naruto?" A voice Naruto didn't think he would hear again resounded in his ear making him turn around.
"Kiba?" Naruto said shocked then he started walking toward him. "What are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"I was on a mission to catch a wild Tengu. I see you must have made a contract with it though." Kiba said.
"Yeah, he's my friend." Naruto said shocking Neji and Kiba.
"We heard he was wild." Kiba said.
"Well now he's not so we should be done here." Naruto said attempting to walk away.
"Hang on Naruto... where is Sasuke and the rest of them?" Kiba asked.
"I got split up from them during a cave in." Naruto said but still kept walking.
"Where do you think you're going?" A samurai screamed at Naruto shooting an arrow at him.
Naruto blocked it easily with his shield and turned around to look at the samurai who didn't seem to know who he was.
"Leave him be, he is the exorcist Itachi ordered us all not to touch." Kiba commanded.
"If he is then where is Sasuke?" A samurai asked.
"It's none of your business, it's not like he is mandatory supposed to be with me. Now go away." Naruto said lifting his hand making their swords and arrows fly away.
"Naruto," Kiba said since he was the only one that didn't get his stuff blown away.
"Yeah?" Naruto asked tilting his head to the side.
"Can I go with you?" Kiba asked.
"I don't see why not." Naruto said.
"Yes," Kiba said, "wait right here while I tell them. Itachi will have to be notified." Kiba said then ran off toward the other samurai.
"Why are you bringing a samurai with us?" Neji asked.
"Because he is pure for a samurai." Naruto said gently with a warm smile on his face.
"I'm back," Kiba said excited then looked at Neji. "What's your name?" Kiba asked.
"My master gave me the name Neji." Neji said.
"Not master, friend." Naruto said.
"Oh yeah," Neji said opening up his wings.
"Wow, there beautiful." Kiba said reaching out to feel them to get his hand swatted away.
"Don't touch a tengu's wings. They are sensitive over who they allow touch their wings." Naruto said as he walked away.
"Sir Naruto, where are we going now?" Neji asked running after Naruto putting his wings away.
"We have to find the others." Naruto said.
"How many are there?" Neji asked.
"Sasuke, Gaara, Kurama, Konohamaru, and Tenten. So that would be five." Naruto said nodding his head.
"There all Obake?" Neji asked.
"I would say that. But one is a human." Naruto said not wanting to give Kiba that information about Sasuke just yet because he didn't know him like that to trust him with that information.
"Oh," Neji said bringing out his wings again. "Do you want me to look for them?" Neji asked.
"We will find them together. We don't want them to think your wild and try to kill you." Naruto said with a warm smile as they continued to walk.
(With Sasuke)
"God damn it not again." Kurama growled as they were blocked off from Naruto.
"How big is this forest?" Sasuke asked looking at Konohamaru.
"It's about 900 acres and I am sure the path Naruto had to take would take him into the middle of the forest." Konohamaru said.
"I can go look for him in my fairy form?" Tenten said but asked at the same time.
"I think we should stick together on finding him." Konohamaru said.
"We won't be able to find him in 900 acres. It will be easier to split in groups of two." Kurama said growling the whole time.
"Okay but one of us will be left out because if you haven't noticed there are five of us here." Konohamaru said.
"I can go by myself." Kurama said.
"Fine," Konohamaru agreed not really wanting to argue with him.
"We will use the link to talk to each other?" Tenten asked.
"Can we use that to find him?" Gaara asked.
"No because he needs to initiate the contact for us to talk to him." Konohamaru said.
"That's stupid," Sasuke said.
"Yeah, but he did it like that so he could have privacy." Konohamaru said.
"We used to always be in his head in the beginning. It was too hard for him to think." Kurama said.
"You used to scream when I first came around." Konohamaru said with a raised eyebrow.
"That's because I didn't like you." Kurama said with a smirk changing into his fox form. "Pick who you guys want to be with and I will be on my way." Kurama said running out the cave.
"Who has a shield?" Konohamaru asked.
"I do," Tenten said.
"I am pretty sure my demon side won't let me die." Sasuke said.
"Fine, you two go together and Gaara and I will be together." Konohamaru said.
"Okay," Sasuke said walking outside the cave with Tenten on his shoulders in her small fairy form.
"It's me and you now." Konohamaru said to Gaara and Gaara just nodded then they walked out the cave.
They walked around the forest in all different directions. They couldn't even sense him it was like he was being blocked by something or someone. But they all felt another link attach to them.
"You guys there is a new link to us." Konohamaru said.
"I can feel it too." Gaara whispered.
"Me too," Tenten said.
"Why can I hear voices in my head?" Sasuke asked.
"Wow, you're linked to us now." Kurama said.
"Not the point, who is the other person? Who are you? Are you with the boss? Is Naruto with you?" Konohamaru asked.
"Who are you guys?" Neji asked.
"We asked first you damn twerp. Now are you with Naruto or not?" Kurama asked getting irritated by the minute.
"Yes," Neji said and broke the connection.
"Everyone meet back up by the cave." Konohamaru decided.
"Okay," they all said collectively.
They all basically ran to the cave.
"How the fuck can you all speak in my head like that?" Sasuke asked.
"It must have been because of the ritual that he did or maybe your demon half is more accepting to Naruto." Konohamaru said.
"Yeah I doubt that stubborn demon in him is accepting Naruto just yet. He probably wants to know the whole story of what happened to us and all that." Kurama said not knowing Sasuke was already linked with the demon.
"Hey!" Sasuke growled.
"No way, you guys linked. You must have or you wouldn't be in the link with us." Konohamaru said shocked eyes widen.
"What are you talking about?" Kurama asked.
"He has to be linked to his demon half in order to hear the link with us. Remember at the capital he couldn't hear us all talking." Konohamaru said.
"Shut up," Sasuke growled.
"He really is linked holy shit. Good for you." Kurama said excited. "So does that mean the demon part in you is okay with Naruto?" Kurama asked sitting down in fox form.
'What the hell is wrong with these guys?' Sasuke thought well his demon half did while the other half wasn't quite adjusted to be combined with the demon that they shared different thoughts with each other.
'They are just excited.' Sasuke said.
'We should get the hell away from them.' Sasuke's other half said.
"I think you have two different personalities." Gaara stated quietly.
"What do you mean?" Konohamaru asked as Sasuke was shocked because he didn't expect someone else to know.
"How did you know?" Sasuke asked.
"I guessed, well it's like... how do I explain this? Well you have been only controlling your human side for so long that your demon side became its own self and has a personality too." Gaara said.
"Yeah, but how did you guess that?" Sasuke asked sitting next to Gaara.
"I heard once from someone in my past that all half demons after a certain age of not connecting with their demon inside it become like... its own person to say the least. You're well over the age limit of connection. You just found out about your demon recently." Gaara said.
"Wow... your smart Gaara." Konohamaru said shocked.
"You don't have to seem so shocked." Gaara mumbled.
"Good job," Kurama said walking to him and rubbed his head with his hand.
You could tell out of all the other Obake that Kurama was the oldest one of them all by the way he acted sometimes.
"When did it happen?" Konohamaru asked excited.
Sasuke growled and his eyes turned red. "Back up and stop with all the damn questions." Sasuke growled then his eyes went black again.
"That is so funny." Kurama said laughing changing back to his fox form and walking out the cave.
"Kurama, where are you going?" Konohamaru screamed running after him.
"Damn Tanuki," Sasuke grumbled.
"Hi to you too demon Sasuke." Gaara said with a smirk that clearly showed his amusement for the first time since being with the group.
"Should we give him a different name? If they are the same person but different at the same time shouldn't we give him a name?" Tenten asked.
"We can't give him a name, only boss can." Konohamaru said walking back into the cave without Kurama.
"Where's Kurama?" Sasuke asked.
"He went to find Naruto some more. I am assuming the demon side of you doesn't want Naruto to know about this." Konohamaru said.
"You would assume right." Demon Sasuke said.
"Wow... this is weird." Tenten said.
"Naruto more than likely already knows and is just waiting for you to tell him that you two are connected." Konohamaru said with a shrug.
"What makes you say that?" Demon Sasuke asked his eyebrow raising.
"Because I am pretty sure he felt the link between you two and because I know he felt exactly what we felt when we all linked up." Konohamaru said.
"Tch'" demon Sasuke clicked his tongue and let Sasuke take back over.
The differences between the demon side of Sasuke are that he always has the red eyes, he has long black hair, markings on his face, and he has a bigger build than Sasuke.
"It's freaky to see your transformation but awesome at the same time." Konohamaru said.
"I agree," Tenten said.
"Why aren't we looking for Naruto also?" Sasuke asked clearly trying to change the subject.
"I will let the clear subject change slide to answer you. Kurama has better tracking skills than all of us and he can sense Naruto better than us too. So he moving around will be faster than all of us being out there also getting lost." Konohamaru said sounding dejected.
"Why are you taking that bullshit? We should all go out there and find him." Demon Sasuke said growling and standing up his hair waving down his back. "I will go alone and everyone can do whatever the hell they like. I don't like sitting around while that fox gets all the credit." Demon Sasuke said shocking everyone as he walked out the cave on a mission.
"Did it seem like he was jealous to you guys?" Konohamaru asked and the others nodded.
"I think his transformation is awesome." Gaara mumbled.
"Do you think he can turn into a white serpent?" Tenten asked.
"I wonder that too but for now let's go and find Naruto." Konohamaru said.
Sasuke walked around the woods in his demon form for a good five minutes of looking before getting irritated a kicked a tree knocking it over.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Sasuke asked his demon part.
Demon Sasuke just clicked his tongue and ignored his other half.
"You knocked down the damn tree, you can reject whatever they say to you but you're me so at least tell me what is bothering you." Sasuke said.
"That damn fox is going to get all the credit." Demon Sasuke said clicking his tongue again.
"If I didn't know any better I would say you're jealous." Sasuke said shocked.
The connection between Sasuke and his demon is that they have three forms but neither had ever tried to change into the third form. They both only know about the demon form and Sasuke's form. In all honesty when the demon side of Sasuke takes over its like sitting in the passenger seat while someone is driving your car. Sasuke can see everything and doesn't black out anymore but the two of them basically have their own forms and minds.
"Tch' I am not jealous. I don't feel stupid emotions such as jealousy." Demon Sasuke grumbled waving his arm away.
"Seriously we need to get a name for your half because it's confusing to say no name, especially when you being explicit with your emotions." Sasuke said.
"Listen here human half, we are not letting him name me, understood? We share the same emotions." Demon Sasuke said.
"No the hell we don't because for some reason you're angry and I'm not." Sasuke said exasperated by his other half.
"You irritate me." Demon Sasuke growled.
"No you irritate yourself." Sasuke said and just sat down in a room in his head like he did before when he first met the demon.
Whenever the two switched places one would always be in the mindscape the two made with each other. Sasuke would always wander back to where Naruto's soul was and re-watch memories of when he was younger and first got Kurama.
(With Naruto)
"Okay, so you're already linked up with the others. That's amazing and quite fast compared to when Kurama and Konohamaru first linked up. Kurama just rejected and screamed until I had to cut the link to only when I wanted to talk to them." Naruto said in an encouraging type of way.
"You can do that?" Neji asked.
"Yeah, thankfully to be honest. Those two gave me a headache until they were quiet for once; giving each other the silent treatment is what normal people say right?" Naruto said with a smile on his face.
"Yes," Kiba said with a light chuckle from how Naruto didn't really seem to know how to interact with other people.
"Good, I didn't think I would get that analogy right." Naruto said with a warm smile.
"Where are we going?" Kiba asked after a few minutes of silence and going through the forest.
"We have to go up because that's where they will be looking for me." Naruto said with a smile.
"I don't think I will be able to climb all this." Kiba said shocked.
"Neji, can you carry him?" Naruto asked.
"Eh..." Neji made a face of utter disgust.
"Come on, don't be like that. We can't just leave him behind." Naruto said with a warm smile.
"Fine," Neji said opening his wings grabbing Naruto as he flew up grabbing Kiba with his talons with his feet.
Neji didn't want to touch Kiba let alone carry him so he should be grateful.
"OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD!" Kiba screamed completely freaked out.
Naruto chuckled and Neji just turned his head away and sped up.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kiba screamed everything in the forest heard that.
"Did you hear that?" Demon Sasuke asked.
"Yup, go up." Sasuke said.
Sasuke started jumping up through the trees to see Kurama bouncing up there too in his big fox form.
"Tch'" Demon Sasuke clicked his tongue again agitated.
'He is jealous.' Sasuke thought to himself as he heard the low growl come out his mouth.
"Where is everyone?" Kurama asked as he got to the top of the mountain about to run into Naruto.
"On the way up," Konohamaru said with two grunts be added in.
"I am right behind you." Demon Sasuke said.
Kurama turned around and saw the demon Sasuke coming up the mountain at a fast rate.
'I need to get to Naruto before he does.' Kurama thought running off to hear a growl in the distance.
"NARUTO!" Kurama screamed as he ran up to the blonde.
"Hey Kurama," Naruto said kneeling down to let Kurama curl into him.
"I'm glad you guys got out okay." Naruto said softly. "Where is everyone else?" Naruto asked looking around to see rustling in a bush and a big version of Sasuke coming out and smirked. "You couldn't hide from me for too long huh?" Naruto said in a sweet tone that Kurama didn't recognize.
"What the hell happened to Sasuke?" Kiba asked shocked.
Everyone ignored him for the moment for demon Sasuke to run up to Naruto giving him a hug and then changing back to his real form.
"I was worried about you." Sasuke whispered.
"I know," Naruto said gently rubbing Sasuke's cheek.
"MASTER! BOSS! NARUTO!" The other three screamed and ran to him.
"Okay everyone, you already know Kiba but he will be coming with us for now on. Now for the most important part this is Neji, he is a Tengu." Naruto said making Neji want to flash his wings to show off with a smirk.
Sasuke eyes went red for a minute there and then looked back at Naruto.
"Now Neji this is Kurama, Konohamaru, Sasuke, Tenten, and Gaara." Naruto said politely pointing everyone out.
"Hi," Tenten said with a sweet smile making Neji blush and look away.
Tengu's have this myth about woman being mystical fairies and in this case he really is looking at one. Neji got so nervous that his wings started to flap and he flew into the tree and wouldn't come down so they had to stay on top of the mountain basically.
"Neji, you have to come down eventually." Naruto said chuckling.
"YOU know Tengu can't be around woman without them being our significant other. I never seen a fairy before and I never thought I would." Neji screamed to Naruto.
"Don't make me come up there and get you." Naruto said in a stern voice.
Neji sighed and flew off the branch he was on. Naruto gently pet his wings to calm him making Sasuke see red again and growl.
'Seriously stop it demon self.' Sasuke thought to himself.
"Now come sit down and eat by us." Naruto said pulling him between himself and Gaara.
"Hello," Neji said respectfully sitting next to him while Gaara grunted and gave him a head nod. "Umm... what is everyone?" Neji asked.
"I am a nine tailed demon fox." Kurama answered.
"Black cat," Konohamaru said in between bites.
"Tanuki," Gaara said.
"Fairy," Tenten said with a humongous smile making Neji want to fly away again.
"Stop it," Naruto mumbled holding Neji down by holding his hand.
Sasuke growled again, 'and you say you're not jealous.' Sasuke thought to his demon self.
"I am half demon. My family is from the serpent god." Demon Sasuke said his markings all coming into view.
"So you two just switch off whenever huh? I thought you didn't want me to know about it until you could trust me." Naruto said with a cocky smirk.
"Tch'" Demon Sasuke clicked his tongue again.
"Do you want to talk to me privately?" Naruto asked with a smile and he shook his head yes. "Come with me then, and everyone else stay here that's an order." Naruto said in a voice no one could ignore.
Everyone knew they wouldn't be able to move.
"Can someone tell me what the hell that was about?" Kiba asked but everyone just kept eating.
Now with Naruto and Sasuke well the demon side of him at least.
'Hey what are you planning?' Sasuke asked to his other half.
"Shut up," demon Sasuke said out loud.
"I didn't say anything yet nor are you talking to Sasuke." Naruto said poking Sasuke in the nose.
Naruto stopped and sat down by the tree. The demon side of Sasuke no matter how badly it wanted to reject helping Naruto it felt so compelled to do it but this jealousy was a new thing for him so he didn't know what it was. Sasuke lowered himself to Naruto and kissed him not even bothering to say anything.
'What the hell?' Sasuke screamed in his head.
When the demon half of Sasuke pulled away he was looking directly into Naruto's eyes.
"You have beautiful hair just like you're ancestors. The beautiful red eyes that proves your demon blood. It's okay that you have two personalities and when can come to terms with something easier. Your name is Sasuke and that's how it always is going to be." Naruto said while touching every part he talked about that at the end he touched the middle of his forehead liking he was connecting the minds for the first time.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked amazed because he was still in his demon form but it was really him.
"I put you back together again." Naruto said in a sweet tone. "You still have the lovely things that make you part demon." Naruto said gently pulling Sasuke's hair.
Sasuke let it get pulled and shifted back to his human form where everything was as before.
"You feel better now?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke felt around and for that moment he actually did feel better like the past couple days didn't happen but he knew they did but he was grateful because he wasn't in two anymore and he didn't have a headache.
"Thanks," Sasuke said kissing Naruto on the lips but before he could pull away he felt a tender embrace around his waist and a soft hand on his cheek so he made the kiss deeper pushing Naruto farther into the tree.
(With Itachi)
Itachi at the moment was reading about what happened to Sasuke giving blood to finding out about their heritage and to say he was mad would be an understatement. He was furious. His inner demon did feel when Sasuke was distressed and also when he awoke to the point where Sasuke realized what he was to the link between the two.
"DAMN IT!" Itachi screamed throwing his desk out the window making Garuda fly out the window away from his firing zone.
"Captain Itachi," Nagato said shocked when he came into the office to see flames and his captain's eyes red.
"You need to calm down Itachi." Nagato said gently.
"You need to tell me everything you know about the Seven Wings of Fire and you need to tell me now." Itachi said in a voice that showed he wasn't playing around.
'What did you do, Naruto?' Were Nagato's last thoughts before he started to explain everything and clean up.
Reviews...
Okay I understand that this chapter was all over the place but there is reasons for that. But as you know by the end everything with Sasuke got solved. All Sasuke needed was for Naruto to tell them that they were the same person really and say the name Sasuke was given. As for Itachi at the end he is furious and it will be known why later on.
