OKAY! So I finally worked up the inspiration to continue the story. hazaah! BUT, I am making a few changes to the story, and am to lazy to go through each chapter and change them, so im going to tell you now.
A- I dont remember why I had gaara in the second chapter, so for now, pretend as though it didn't happen.
B- At first I said that Naruto, in his now full demon form, has fox ears. Id like to change that to him having his regular ears, but they're more elven like.
C- I have decided NOT to make this a yaoi fic, don't like it? tough... yaoi's are taking over like the plague... as much as I enjoy them, what the hell happened to good old fashioned girl on boy action huh?!
Sakura looked up and watched the portal, that seemed attached to the cealing, shrink and disappear. She swallowed and followed Sasuke after Naruto.
The fox demon peeked around the corner and sighed when he saw no one.
They turned the corner and stopped to hear a lot of commotion inside Tsunade's office. Voices, yelling voices, and Naruto had only one guess as to what they were argueing about. The three of them crouched down to eavesdrop. Sasuke and Sakura had to press their ears to the door so they could hear. But Naruto's demon ears allowed him to hear perfectly.
Tsunade slouched in her desk, rubbing her temples in pain. She was nauseous, she had a headache, and she really wanted to kill everyone in this room. All the sensei's were arguing. Pro-naruto were on her right, anti-naruto were on her left. Ebisu, seemed to be the head of them.
"He cannot be trusted!" he hollered. "Who is to say that he will not lose it and destroy the village like he did last time?"
the four that were standing behind him were those who had lost a great deal when the nine tailed fox laid waist to the village. Ebisu however, was just an ass...
"The seal that contained the nine tailed fox is gone!" Itachi yelled back, in defence. "If Naruto and any weakness in his control over that power, it would have happened by now!"
He had a point.
"The filthy creature is a menace, a fowl beast that doesn't deserve the luxery of our kindness!" Ebisu smirked, and pushed his glasses further up his nose. "We should cast him out imeadiately..."
Everyone to Tsunade's right errupted in a flurry of swears and angry cries. Kakashi and Gai stood behind them not bothering to argue with such an imbicile.
She stood up signaling everyone to shut up. Her head hurt, and she swayed when she got to her feet.
"Look, it's not the question of weather or not he can control the demon within him anymore! He has absorbed the demon completely thus turning his, once human, body into a demon body. There is nothing human about him anymore." She barked at them all, her authoritative tone wavering from her queasy stomach. "Now the question is if the Kyuubi can overpower him now that the seal is gone..."
Ebisu scoffed.
"And how do you propose we do that?" The door opened, and Naruto walked in. He had stood up so fast that he knocked both Sakura and Sasuke to their butt's.
"All you have to do is ask..." He said with a frown on his face and walked over to her desk and set down the basin of liquid. He shot a quick glance in Ebisu's direction. "And by the way...no."
He snapped his fingers and a large goblet appeared in a puff of red smoke. He dipped it in the 'tea', and handed it to Tsunade. Who eyeballed it questioningly.
"The blade that cut you was tipped with poison. You feel nauseous, don't you?" he asked. She nodded weakly.
"Then drink... " he ordered. she did, and almost immediately the color started coming back to her skin. As he smiled, he turned to face veryone else. They were all staring at him like he was an alien. Some were afraid, others were angry, but a few like Iruka, kakashi, and Gai, were watching him with intrigue.
Kakashi stepped forward to stand next to Iruka.
"Naruto, would you care to elaborate on the unanswered question please?" he asked in his usual nonchalant tone. The fox looked at him with and unusual look in his eyes. They were hard, but had a shining mystery about them.
"It's a long story...." He replied putting a hand behind his head. Sakura and Sasuke finally walked in and shut the door.
"We have time." Tsunade said, but the way she said it made it sound more like 'Spill it, now.'
He must have had a look like he didn't want to because Sakura spoke;
"Naruto please! We all thought you were dead, the least you could do is tell us what happened to you!" she yelled, tears welling up in her eyes. He gave her a long hard stare before he sighed and walked over to the window looking out over the entire village. No matter how hard he felt like he didn't belong in Konoha, no where else could ever replace it as his home. And the people as well, those who truely cared about him, he supposed that they deserved and explanation.
*Four years earlier*
Naruto awoke feeling odd... He was sore as all hell, but he was so very comfortable. He snuggle deeper into the bed he was laying in-
His eyes flew open and he shot up into a sitting position. Where the hell was he??
The memories from the previous day came back to him as he stared around the room.
'Sakura... Kakashi...Konoha.....and, Hiei.....' he thought bitterly. He got up and made his way to the open window. What he saw made his skin crawl.
Below him was a beautiful scenery of a lake and waterfall, surrounded by trees and flowerbeds. Lush green grass expanded outward until they met up with a wall of mountains that surrounded everything. But when he looked up, he wanted to vomit. The sky was covered in black and purple clouds, swirling with angry energy.
'The Makai...'
A flash of yellow lighting made him turn around and sit back on the bed.
"What the hell have I gotten myself into?!" he shouted to no one in particular.
"Hn.." Naruto jumped and saw Hiei standing by the balcony.
"Why did you bring me here?!" he demanded frantically. The demon walked past him and opened a closet. He grabbed a pair of black pants and shoes, similar to his own, and a white kimono top with the sleaves cut out. He tossed the items onto the bed.
"Put them on, and follow me..." He ordered and walked out of the room. Naruto found himself glaring at the door in frustration. But he reluctantly did as he was told.
As much as he hated this situation, he couldn't help but feel extremely curious. A world full of demons... just like him. It scared him to no end, but it excited him as well... it was exhilarating.
He met Hiei outside the room and began to follow him down the hall. The hall itself wasn't particularly large, but long, with several other hallways that parted off from it. Pearing down each one, Naruto noticed the many doors that ran along each one. Hundreds of them. The walls and cealing were made of wood and painted a cream color. He looked down and noticed the dark blue carpeting.
Hiei was unnervingly silent as the walked down a marble stairway and into a beautiful hallway. On his left was a wall with many fine paintings and intricut vases.
'Ritzy.." he thought to himself. And to his right, the entire wall was just nothing but windows that looked over the garden next to the lake.
Hiei stopped before they reached a set of grand double doors and turned around.
"You will wait here until I says so," he ordered sharply, and turned back around to open the doors.
'Bossy mother fucker..." Naruto thought with disdain, until a voice sounded in his head that made him jump. *I heard that.. baka* The demons crimson eyes burned into his own for a moment, that made the boy's spine go cold, before he grabbed the door handles and opened them.
Imeadiately Naruto's ears were bombarded with noise. The sounds of merry laughter and loud talking combined with silverware clanked against each other. As Hiei disappeared through the doors, Naruto heard a few male voices call out to him, yet their greetings were not returned.
He couldn't help himself. He tiptoed forward and peeked around the doorway. His eyes met a large, grand eating hall, with marble flooring and stone walls. Four long tables that ran the length of the room were all filled with-
"Demons..." he whispered to himself. Hundreds upon hundreds of them! Some were large and grotesque, or small and scrawny. Some had strange skin colors with razer sharp teeth and claws, while others looked almost human, save for a horn or two coming out of their foreheads. Naruto couldn't explain it, he just felt so... alive, looking at them all.
He snapped out of his trance when Hiei reached the other side of the room. There was a smaller table there that ran along the width of the room, in front of the four larger tables. There a few people that sat, but it was the one who sat in the middle that caught Naruto's attention.
He sat in a larger chair, with extravagant horns that poked out at the top corners. It was this fact that made Naruto assume he was the leader. He had an unmistakable aura of power about him. He was tall and slender, but very lean, and was dawned in white training clothes. He had long silver hair, along with two long silvery ears that stuck out of the top of his head. His face was stoic and aristocratic. His haunting golden eyes, which were staring at the ground as if deep in thought, shown with knowledge. He leaned casually on his left hand, his fingers pressed to his mouth, as he listen to the person to his left talk.
Hiei had walked around the table to the mans right. He leaned down and began speaking into the mans ear. As he spoke, the mans golden orbs glided up and locked with Naruto's, who stood holding the edge of the door. He didn't know why, but he was suddenly struck with fear. That mysterious stare sent chills down his spine; it made him shiver.
"HEY!" someone suddenly yelled. A large grey demon with beady yellow eyes had noticed him spying, and stood up. Others stood up as well, he noticed some of them reaching for the weapons, thinking he was an intruder.
"Who the hell are you?!" he heard from somewhere. But the fear that was crawling over him clouded his mind. His insticts were telling him to run, but he was rooted to the spot.
"Well, well, well boys," someone remarked, laughing. "Looks like we got ourselves a little sneaker."
"Get him!" Naruto finally snapped out of his trance and turned. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Hiei and the silver haired man stand up quicky in alarm.
Naruto bolted down the hallway, having no clue where the hell he was going. He heard yells and sadistic laughter. Like a game of cat and mouse. He dodged as a knife flew past his face and hit the wall.
________
Yoko Kurama stood as the blonde bolted and everyone followed, leaving himself and Hiei alone.
"So thats the vessel of the nine tailed fox..." He said as a statement rather than a question. The red eyed fire demon nodded. They both looked towards they doorway when they heard a glass breaking.
"Hmmm....."
________
Naruto burst through a doorway and found himself in a vast library. He jumped over a table and darted up on top of a bookshelf. Another weapon whized past him. It curved, somewhat like a boomerang, and came back in his direction. He made a mighty leap over it, but as he landed, a knife grazed his shoulder. He winced in pain but never stopped running. Hearing a triumphant laugh, he saw a large window ahead of him.
"Shit," he grumbled aloud, and jumped, he turned and tossed three shuriken at his nearest targets. His back hit the glass and he hissed as it cut into his skin. He fell about thirty feet before he flipped and landed on his feet. He continued to run, feeling the blood seep from his back and shoulder.
"What the hell did I get myself into?!" he yelled at himself in anger. He found himself at the edge of the lake. Hh skidded to a halt and turned, he was going to fight his way out of this if it was the last thing he ever did. Knee's shaking, he grabbed a kunai from his pouch and found himself face to face with a wall of opponents, all giving him the same sadistic grin.
"Oooh look, someone wants to play!" one laughed. "There's only on of you! What are you going to do little man?"
He glared back in response and formed a hand sign.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!!" Feeling his chakra rise, he opened his eyes to find roughly a hundred copies of himself, all in a fighting stanse.
All the demon eyes widened in surprise. He was about to attack, when an athorative voice rang out.
"Everyone, stop!" it said. The croud immediately parted to let Hiei and the silver haired man pass. He stopped in front of Naruto, and crossed his arms, giving him a hard look. The blonde suddenly felt like a child who had stuck his hand in the cookie jar, under that stare.
Hiei stood slightly behind the man giving him the same look.
'What the hell is this?" He wondered.
"Yoko, why are you taking pity on this little whelpling?" One questioned in protest, itching to tear the blonde into pieces. The man, named Yoko, was still giving Naruto that menacing look, once again, making the boy's skin crawl. Suddenly his look softened slightly. He opened his mouth, but paused for a moment-
"Because he's my son...."
