Don't worry I haven't forgotten about Idate it's just I had to make it to where the others were to busy to notice him.

Chapter 7
Idate glanced around before he slipped into the basement, the others were in the grand living room and the house's keeper was nowhere around. He made his way down the stairs quietly and once he reached the bottom he frowned at the body laying in the center of the room. Slowly he walked over to it, seeing that it was a young boy and that he was laid out in some weird runes. What the hell was going on? Was this some type of cult thing going on, is that why those kids from before disappeared?
"Shit, I need to get everyone out of here." Idate said and turned only to come face to face with a pissed off raven. The brunette's eyes widened and he glanced behind him at the boy on the floor before snapping his head back to the man in front of him. What the hell was going on? He reached for his gun only not to find it at his side. Idate cursed inwardly and barely dodged a swipe from the raven. He flinched at the sharp pain on his cheek an brought his hand up, pulling it back to find blood. The brunette snapped his eyes up at the pale man in front of him who had a sinister smirk.
The raven haired man licked the blood from his claws and his onyx eyes turned red, but before Idate could make a noise he was slammed against the wall, the raven's hand covering his mouth. The pale man brought back his other hand and phased it through the brunette's chest. "Such a nosey cop." He said as he squeezed Idate's heart causing the cop to wince in pain. The brunette felt his energy leaving his body, he was growing weaker and weaker by the second. With a curl of his lip, the raven said. "I suppose your soul would do for now, even though it is tainted disgustingly so."
Neji got comfortable then began. "Well, the Hyuga clan was one of the most powerful clans to perform exorcisms, most of the time they worked alone but from time to time they would work along side demon hunters or train with them." Naruto blinked, why was he just now hearing about this? The brunette saw what the blonde man was thinking so he decided to elaborate. "You never asked." He said with a smirk causing Naruto's eye to twitch. "Besides there is something you don't know about yourself as well." Blue eyes stared blankly into lavender ones, oh he knew something Neji doesn't know but like hell he'll tell him.
"Oh? And what would that be?" The blonde asked boredly.
The brunette sat forward. "That you come from a long line of demon hunters, it is in the Uzumaki blood, and perhaps that is one of the reasons why you are able to see spirits and the like." Naruto stared at Neji with confused eyes. "The Uzumaki clan has always been demon hunters and around the time of the Uchiha massacre only the Hyugas' knew about one of the most powerful demons, aside from the demons themselves, residing with one of the hunters."
"Kyuubi…" At this the Hyuga blinked and furrowed his brows.
"Ah, yes…where did you hear that name?" Naruto glanced away briefly then shrugged his shoulders.
"He was the one who warned me about staying here, and his name…I heard the other demon say his name in the memory I had been thrown into." The blonde paused then continued. "That Fugaku guy was talking about Kyuubi falling in love with a human, or having a kid or something. They were also arguing over a village."
Neji nodded his head. "Yes, if I am not mistaken, Fugaku was the leader of the Uchiha clan and he was correct with his information about Kyuubi having a human lover and a child."
1503
A young blonde teen was outside staring up at the clear sky when a tall man and a boy around his age walked up towards the house. Naruto blinked his big blue eyes and tilted his head to the side. The boy walking froze, his lavender eyes staring straight at the blonde. He then looked at the man next to him. "Father, that boy is a demon." Naruto looked away from the two and began watching a couple of birds chasing each other.
"No, he is only half-demon, Neji." The man said and the blonde ignored them as he continued to watch the birds. The long haired brunette, known as Neji, looked back over to the boy when an older blonde man came out of the house.
"Naruto- Oh, Hyuga-san, what are you doing here? I didn't have word that you were coming."
"Uzumaki-san." Hyuga said then glanced down at his son who was still staring at the young blonde. Uzumaki followed the line of sight then looked back at the man before him. Lavender eyes stared back. "Your son, I presume." The blonde man nodded but before either could speak a red-head waltzed out of the small house, he's gold eyes scanning over the two strangers. He wrapped his arms around his lover and narrowed his eyes.
"Hyuga, what are you doing here?" He growled out, Neji snapped his eyes away from the blonde and looked up at the red haired demon. The brunette spoke up before his father could.
"Father has brought me here to study under Uzumaki-san for a short time." Gold eyes turned towards the boy and a brow rose.
"And what exactly are you wanting to learn, brat?"
"I have yet to perform my exorcism skills on a demon, so I will be with Uzumaki-san until I am able to complete the last part of my training." Neji said, his voice unwavering as he looked the demon in the eye. A wide grin stretched across a lightly tanned face and pearly white fangs glinted in the sunlight.
"Well, at least you have balls." The red-head was jabbed in the ribs by a glaring blonde.
"Kyuubi." Uzumaki hissed beneath his breath and the red-head grumbled while rubbing his sore ribs. Naruto glanced over towards his parents then to the sky then with one more look at his folks, seeing that no one was paying attention, he got up and left making his way into the woods. Neji saw him leave but said nothing as the adults began speaking to one another.
After staying within the Uzumaki household for five months Neji and Naruto became close friends. He saw how the blonde was rejected by his own village, he watched as the other kids would throw things at Naruto and yet the half-demon would ignore them. The brunette would see the blonde sneak off in the late evenings and when he came back it was as if he was on cloud nine. So one day Neji decided to follow Naruto to see what the blonde was hiding or who he was seeing.
Naruto stood by the stream, he had been standing there for half an hour. Nothing. The brunette was about to step out when he stopped as another presence appeared. The blonde was shoved harshly against the nearby tree by a pale raven, Neji nearly jumped out to help but froze when the raven haired demon smashed his lips to the blonde's own plump ones. Naruto wrapped his arms around the pale boy's neck and moaned into the kiss as he wrapped his legs around the raven's waist.
Breaking the kiss, the raven bit into the blonde's tan neck causing blue eyes to widen before shutting tightly. "Ah…that hurts…nah ha…d-did something happen…?" His lover pulled back and licked the wound he had inflicted then kissed it softly.
"Sorry." He mumbled as he looked into Naruto's eyes. "Father wants me to get married when I turn sixteen, he already has someone picked out from a neighboring clan." The raven haired demon whispered then glared at the tree behind the blonde, his blonde. If his father found out about them surely he would never see Naruto again, for he would be locked away till Fugaku forced him into the marriage. The raven saw how his lover looked away sadly and he made the blonde looked at him again. "Don't worry, Naruto, I will never leave you but until I come of age we have to keep us a secret. Otherwise we will never see each other again, understand?" He asked, blonde locks swayed as Naruto nodded his head. "Good." And with that the two kissed and held one another as if they would soon be torn apart from one another.
Naruto had stayed out late and snuck back into his house through the window, just as he was heading towards his bed a candle flickered on. Neji was sitting in the chair by the door staring at the blonde with a blank face, Naruto sighed. "You know, Neji, that if you follow someone you should hide your presence more." The brunette continued to stare and the half-demon flopped down on his bed. "Please don't tell anyone, I love him and I don't want to lose him."
At this Neji blinked. "I didn't say I was going to tell anyone, that is your own business. But you have not told your fathers' about demons being near by."
Naruto huffed. "I am sure that they already know, one is a demon and the other a hunter, they are not stupid. As long as the others stay out of this village they are not causing any harm."
"Demons can not be trusted." After the words left Neji's mouth the blonde jumped up with a growl, his blue eyes glowing in the dim light as he stalked towards the brunette.
"I am half-demon and my father is a demon. Are you saying that neither of us can be trusted! You have lived with us for nearly half a year and yet you can not grasp the concept of a demon being good or trustworthy?" Naruto shouted as he grabbed the front of Neji's night shirt. "Isn't there already enough distrust and hate in this world? It's people like you that keep wars going for years with no end just to satisfy your hatred for those who are different!"
At this point Kyuubi and Minato were both at their son's door, they had been awakened to the shouting. Naruto's demon half was starting to show, his nails became claws and his barely noticeable fangs elongated. The blonde's face became more feral and his blue eyes tinged with specks of red. "Naruto!" The red-head growled out causing the boy to drop Neji to the floor. Minato was now by the brunette's side checking for any injuries, seeing none he sent Neji to his room.
Naruto slumped down to the floor, he was shocked and upset. What had just happened? He had never been so angry before and that scared him, he could feel the bloodlust coming off himself that he had felt coming off other demon's before. He looked up at his father who was standing over him, studying him with calculating golden eyes. Naruto let out a whimper and was instantly wrapped up in strong arms. "There, there little one. It was bound to happen one day, no one can just not get angry." Kyuubi said as he ran his clawed fingers through his son's golden locks trying his best to calm the boy down.
After things cooled down the two boys didn't seem to get along as well as they had and several months passed. Neji had awakened in the middle of the night and as he traveled to the outhouse he noticed that the blonde wasn't in his room. Normally Naruto would be back by then but the brunette shrugged it off and went about his business then went back to bed. When he woke up later and got up for breakfast he noticed that Naruto still wasn't home, at this he started to worry.
Minato was fixing breakfast as Kyuubi was sitting at the table when Neji walked in, the older blonde looked up with a smile. "Good morning, Neji. Could you get Naruto up, please?" He asked.
"Naruto isn't in his room." The brunette said with a bit of worry lacing his words. Kyuubi's head snapped up at the information and the tone.
"What do you mean he is not in his room?"
Neji hesitated not really wanting the young blonde to get into trouble but answered as golden eyes narrowed. "He normally sneaks out, when I woke up earlier he hadn't come back yet and I figured he would be back before morning."
The red-head stood up. "Where does he go?" Kyuubi demanded.
"Down by the stream in a small clearing just outside of the village." With those words leaving Neji's mouth the red-headed demon rushed out of the house.
Present time
Naruto stared at the brunette sitting before him. "Wait, so you're telling me that your past life and mine knew each other?" Neji raised a brow then smirked.
"I never side it was my past life, Naruto. For all we know it could just be our great ancestors and later through the generations we were given the same names as those from our past in order to complete what they started." He said causing the blonde's eye to twitch.
"That would be considered the same damn thing as past life mumbo-jumbo you bastard, stop trying to trick me you ass." He growled out the last part. "Anyway so what happened after that?" Naruto asked and his brunette friend looked away with sad eyes.
"Kyuubi-san found Naruto dead in the clearing, he had been ripped open and whoever did it would have gotten away if Naruto had not grabbed and held onto a piece of his attacker. This of course caused Kyuubi-san to go berserk." The blonde gasped as he stared wide-eyed at Neji.
"H-he was killed? Who-who was it, who killed him?" Naruto asked as he felt his chest tighten, he unconsciously wrapped his arms around himself.
"It was one of the Uchihas', that is the reason why they had been slaughtered like animals. Though no one knows for sure if it was Fugaku, his eldest son Itachi, or if it was Naruto's lover…"
"It wasn't Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.
Neji furrowed his brows as he looked at the blonde. "I never said his name, how did you…?" Naruto jumped up quickly and scooted out of the room with a mumbled 'I'm going to the restroom' leaving the brunette in the room alone.
