Happy Requiem:

The Start of Something New:

Chapter 8:

Beginnings


Pein looked down at the small boy that his group had gone looking for. The blond was neither bruised or battered, so the man decided that it had been free will that had driven the teen.

"Uzumaki Naruto" He let the name roll of his pierced tongue, his eyes met the blue ones, murky and deadly.

"You are?" The blond asked, tilting his chin slightly in defiance, the dull eyes sharped and looked like a sharp sword. The boy's stance was almost insulting, uncaring, and unafraid of his power. Pein withheld a wicked grin, oh yes, he was going to get along just peachy with this boy.

"I go by Pein, however you may call me Leader-sama."

The blond's eyes sharpened even more before dulling back down. Pein noted everything, taking in the details of the newest member of the Akatsuki, before letting his attention wander to the older members. They all were in good shape, and their chakra in the highs still.

"Since there is no point in stalling, we shall begin immediately."

There were some grumbles from the older members as Pein summoned the large statue that held the other eight beasts of lore. Naruto moved towards the center where the strange man had told him to go and sit. The members of the Akatsuki stood above him on the strange statue's fingertips, the blond looked for Itachi but couldn't tell the difference due to the thick shadows.

"You might be a bit uncomfortable, but bare with us, it should take less than extracting does."With that last message, the Red Dawn moved forwards and summoned the spirits of the statue, and all Naruto knew was pain. Deep burning pain, and then darkness.


He slowly rose from the gruesome position he was thrust into, he felt no weight, he felt free. Turning he looked at the pile of screaming and pulsing flesh that had been his body.

No, his body?

Impossible

That bag of bones and blood would only weigh him down, it couldn't be his body

No, no, no

Something so weak would not do!

Deciding to not think of it, he looked towards the tall towards that spiraled into the shadows. On top sat lonely figures, their bodies curved with distress and agony. He turned to the closest one, and climbed up it, curious to see what creature sat there.

This one was blond, but his hair was several shades darker than...than what? His?

He tried to see what color of hair he had but the damned thing kept running away. How was he supposed to check then?

Shrugging he looked at the blond and noted several things about him, the mouth on his chest, the threads holding his body together, and the bitter heartbreak. It burned to look at it, its angry color as it spat and hissed at him. He jumped away from it, away from the pain.

Why did he care?

What did it mean to him, heartbreak?


Madara frowned as the boy stopped screaming and began to seize. He supposed that the chakra that was pouring into the boy's system was too much, and over load of pain. He wairly stretched and continued to pour his chakra into the statue. Some part of him was thankful for the fact that the 4th had made it impossible to seal the Juubi into himself, instead of the Jinchuuriki that was writhing in pain below him.

He silently groaned as his Sharingan eye became inflamed, like something had fallen into it. The body he currently had, had once been an Uchiha, and so he thought it would be easier to use the Sharingan than the useless Iwa nin he had been possessing before had been. He had been wrong, one of the eyes was completely gone, while the other was only good because of some dorky goggles the boy had been wearing. The eye had been strong, and Madara had felt pleased about it until he found out what exactly was strong with it.

The Sharingan of the body of the Konoha boy could see spirits.

That was its special power

And it annoyed Madara to no end.

The ancient nin wondered who was it that the eye was seeing, whether it was the last Jinchuuriki, not having given up on living yet. He had been a loud nin from Kumo, and yelled the entire time he had been bound, and tried to rap.

Tried was the key word.

Giving in, Madara almost fell backwards as the spirit stood right in front of him looking at him. Not at the body, but at him. It was the blond boy down below, he wondered if the stress was to much on the body for the soul, and they had ended up killing their last hope.

Rage pooled in his stomach

The spirit seemed to find him no longer entertaining to look at and jumped with a grace only the dead had to where Itachi was sitting. It was then he noticed the small chain that connected the convulsing body to the wayward soul. Madara let out a sigh, the boy wasn't dead, not yet at least.

He watched the boy as he snuggled up against Itachi with a wide eye.

The boy liked Itachi?

Why?

He had heard that the blond had been in a relationship with the younger Uchiha, Sasuke. So maybe the soul thought it was the crow not the raven. But, Madara frowned, he had also heard Deidara complaining about the crow and the pink thing that had killed Sasori had some relationship too. The eldest Uchiha frowned and sighed, he truly didn't care about the love life of this boy. But some curiosity blazed through him, and Madara wondered if Itachi was the true reason Uzumaki decided to join the Akatsuki, and throw away his humanity. For most it didn't seem like a very good idea.

Sighing again, Madara deactivated the body's Sharingan,

Whatever was up with the other two Uchiha he really didn't care, as long as they didn't get in his way.


The spirit, as that was what he was, decided that he liked the raven the best out of all of the figures. The masked one, with two souls was weird, and felt off and the one with orange hair wasn't really there, there wasn't any thing, or soul inside that body. It made him shudder.

But he loved the raven.

It was warm, and cool at the same time, and smelt sweet with anger, and love. As the man stared down at the wreck that was the soul's body.

He could feel a pull, his body was calling him back as the last of the chakra of the statue filled the too-small container. He didn't want to leave the raven, and so he sat there while the others finished. He could feel worry in the raven, and he wondered if it was hurt.

But he felt a stronger pull, he was being sucked back in. He didn't want to leave, but he knew if he stayed longer he would die, and wouldn't see the raven anymore. So he returned to the mass of pain, blood, bones, and flesh, for his raven.


Itachi sighed in relief as the jutsu was finished. It hadn't used as much chakra but it left him with a bone wariness, that would make a nin with less control shake. He jumped down to check his blond, and the other members followed him. Itachi knelt down and felt the blonds neck for a pulse, and he thanked his dimly shining lucky stars that indeed, the blond had one.

He looked over the blond, seeing if there was any differences, noting them. His hair was almost white, and now was longer. The wisker marks were darker and thicker, his skin paler and-

"Is that another eye?" He heard Hidan point out, Itachi's black eyes swept to the blond, and sure enough there was a slit on the boy's forehead. Deidara reached over and pulled the lids open. The Akatsuki let out a collective gasp at the white colored eye, it was a mix of the Byakugan, the Sharingan, and the Rinnegan.

Pein appeared behind Deidara making the blond jump,

"It is one of the Juubi's powerful assets, and one of the reasons it isn't very sane. Absolute power breeds absolute madness."

The group stepped away from the boy, as Pein also looked over him,

"Itachi, put him in your room for now. Tell me when he wakes up if it is a reasonable hour, it doesn't really matter. Keep a strong eye on him."

Itachi nodded, and had a sinking feeling that Pein knew of his feelings. His coal eyes drifted towards Tobi, who he was varily sure was Madara right now. The orange mask was facing away, however the man could still easily see them and hear them.

"Konan, Tobi I wish to speak to you, the rest may leave." And with that Pein disappeared followed by the two requested shinobi.

Itachi leaned down and picked up the light blond, and teleported away to his rooms deep within headquarters. It always amazed him that Pein always seemed to know everything, even things Itachi thought he had hidden so well. The raven set the blond down on the bed and pulled out a book to wait until his blond awoke.


Naruto groaned and rose, to find himself in his mind scape. It had changed since the last time he had been there, the water that covered the floors was thick. Reaching down he came up with a hand covered in blood, he blanched.

Looking at the walls of the sewer he noticed that there were large black and grey stones that ripped through the wall. Spider webs clung to the pipes on the ceiling with large poisonous looking spiders on them.

"At least the lights still work." Naruto whispered to himself and headed to the hall where the Kyuubi lived.

When he got there he gasped, the room was worse then the corridor. The walls dripped blood, like a bad horror film, the light was bad, and the seal that kept the demon from him was in ribbons.

"So, you are my new host, a little thing aren't you?" A voice rumbled through the area, and Naruto felt his very soul wanting to turn around and flee. Never had he been afraid of just the Kyuubi's voice, but this was pure power, and insanity. He gulped,

"Well, at least I not over compensating." Naruto's spat out, finally getting along of his courage. What surprised him next was a booming laugh that shook the place.

"Yes, I suppose one could see it that way. Step closer, kit, I wish to see what monster the humans have created."

Naruto obeyed but stayed far enough away from the cage so he couldn't be pulled in.

"A blond, how nice. The black hair man who I was in last, he had a lover that was a blond. It was the only one that would come near him after he gave up his humanity to me."

"How about you step forwards so I could see you, neh? Your not the Kyuubi anymore are you." Naruto returned, storing that information he just learned for later. The voice laughed again, shaking the room, but oddly enough, the liquid he was standing on refused to me.

The beast did what was asked and moved towards the end of the cage, and Naruto unwillingly stepped back. It was huge, with ten lashing tails, and dark gleaming eyes. The beast was a mix of creatures, it had the head of a wolf; enlarged, sharp ears of a fox; the legs of a panther; large folded wings of a raven; a forked tongue of a snake; webbed back paws of a tiger;the front paws almost looked like human hands; a large third eye on its forehead; and ten wooshing tails.

"No, pup, I was never the Kyuubi, but the Kyuubi was always me. I have had many names, but I am called the Juubi. Kyuubi's powers represent only a single of my tails." It boasted, its gleaming teeth sharp. Naruto realized its eyes were changing every few seconds, to the different colors of the 9 beasts he assumed.

"You see, this is power." Juubi sneered down at him, and Naruto sneered back. It blinking and tilting its head towards him, almost looking at his soul,

"I have seen your memories through the Kyuubi, and through you. What a sad child, what a disappointing life. Always alone, never loved, always called such horrible things" It reached out its chakra, forming a body outside of the cage like the nine tails had done so many times, but this one had a humanoid shape to it. A man with white hair, and three eyes stood there, and cupped his hand on Naruto's cheek. The blond was shocked when it wiped away a tear that he hadn't known he had shed.

"But your not going to be alone anymore. Oh no, you've got me now, and I never let go of what I own." The Juubi embraced the boy,

"That raven I have seen, he also will take care of your body. I will take care of your mind. It is fine now kitten, I am here. I can make the pains of the world disappear, I can make you stronger, and I only ask one thing in return."

Naruto who had be enjoying the warmth of the arms, blinked and pushed away at those last words.

"Oh and I suppose that is my soul, or my body huh? You what to be let out so you can reek havoc on the world! Never, you monster!"

The Juubi frowned, marring its pretty human face.

"You of all creatures should know better than to throw that name around, and to only see things at face value."

Naruto felt shame well up in his stomach, and he looked down,

"What I ask, is to be able to talk to you, to be allowed out in your mind and only there. I will never force myself into the drivers seat unless you are about to die, or cannot control your actions. You by default have received my eye, all I wish is too see out of it."

"Isn't that two things?"

"Depends on how you look at it, hatchling."

Naruto shifted, all it wanted was to be free from the cage and be able to talk to him,

"There has to be a catch." He told the beast, who shrugged,

"Maybe, maybe not. You have to understand, it gets very lonely and boring in here. Its your choice, I offer it now, but I might not accept an answer later, so choice wisely, chick."

Naruto frowned at the endearment, and the warning. He had noticed it, but had said nothing out loud, but he could feel so much more here. He felt so much more like his older, younger self, if that made any sense. He could only guess it was the influence of the Juubi, and also, didn't he join the Akatsuki to be able to use the Juubi? He felt sick at the thought, but he knew what he had to do.

"Okay, what do I need to do?"

The Juubi pointed towards the seal, the thin ribbons still clinching to the edges of the gates.

"Remove the seal, pretty simple, huh. Don't worry, unlike the Kyuubi, it doesn't really keep me back. I could break through, but that would break our fragile bond, and I wouldn't want that."

Naruto couldn't decide whether it was being condescending or truthful, but he hoped it was being true to its word. That it actually didn't want to do something so wrong. Who knew, it was a demon after all, but like the Juubi said, he should know better than to swing those kinds of names around.

"Very well, I will do it."

The Juubi grinned, and shrank back into its cage,

"Let's get started then, neh?"


Itachi blinked as he watched the blond stir awake, and saw the teen had been out for about 9 hours, and it was now deep into the night. The Uchiha walked over as Naruto woke up, coal eyes stared at blue eyes, and Itachi secretly was glad they hadn't changed much, the teen's pupil was now a slit like a cats, but that was it. It looked right on the Jinchuuriki.

"How are you doing, Naruto-kun?" He asked, and was graced with the most wonderful and heartbreaking smile he had ever seen as Naruto told him,"I feel so good, I am not alone anymore." the blond took Itachi's hand and passed out again, leaving Itachi to wonder what he meant, and if he could reclaim his hand without waking the blond. Itachi laid down next to his blond, and decided to get some rest as well, seeing as he couldn't get his hand back and all. Itachi decided that it felt nice to lay there next to such a wonderful person.


A/N aka Shameless Ass Kissing:

Oh my Gods, Oh my Gods, Oh my Gods, OMG, Oh my Gods,

I am sooooooo sorry about ten months that I haven't updated. I have been about as artistic as a stuffed duck in a fancy dinning room, maybe even less!

I am not going to bore you all with the details, but I have been very busy, and have been having some life issues that sucked me dry to the point that I have a hard time sleeping now.

Oh well, I really hope you guys can find yourselves able to forgive a Baka Bird like myself.

Um the whole, Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan mix thing, comes from Chapter 467 page 14. I thought that's what it looked like, and I assumed it was the Juubi's not the Sage's. I might be wrong, but I have idea for it in this story. So yeah.

There was something else that I wanted to point out but I cannot for the life of me remember so maybe one of you notice. Hmmm

I wanted to get you guys smut in this chapter but it didn't seem, to fit really, and its very long by my standards. Longest ever really, twice as long as any of my other chapters encluding the ANs...

But I promise I will give you guys some next chapter, it works then, plus some SasoDei love!

Um I didn't see any no-s for KakuHid so I am just going to have it in the story, and it will be an offical ship next chapter.

Yeah, I'm going to run now, before you guys decided to attack me with fish.

Please review?

Even if it is to yell at me?

Please?
