Damn what a great story. How wonderful for all the reviews!
Chapter 9
Get back here bastard!!
Sai was a quiet baby, he slept most of the day and was awake at night. Just like a vampire of old. But since vampires blended in with society more and more these days you would never actually find one that would stick to the ways of old. Itachi was pretty much the only vampire they knew that would be asleep during the day unless he had other business to attend to. But Itachi had taken a liking to being at the Uzumaki residence and playing with baby Sai. Not that Arashi minded at all because that meant that Arashi had some sort of "nanny" that would attend to the baby while Arashi went to work around the house.
Itachi would usually sleep while Sai slept and play with Sai when he wanted comfort. Really the only time Sai would see Arashi was when it was feeding time. Arashi loved Sai a lot because he reminded him of his deceased family members and it was wonderful to be around someone that brought back such wonderful memories.
Kyuubi turned the corner to see Arashi in the room feeding that… child. Kyuubi walked into the room and Arashi looked up and smiled at the fox, "Hey, how're you doing?" Kyuubi glared at the baby who just looked at him with a confused look, almost like he was mocking him. Kyuubi looked at his wife and said, "Arashi we need to talk." Arashi nodded and gave Sai over to Itachi. "Alright let's go to the training hall, we'll talk there." Kissing Sai on the head he followed after Kyuubi who was waiting at the training hall.
Arashi walked in and smiled at Kyuubi lovingly, "So what did you need to talk to me about? How much you love me and want to make more babies?" Arashi joked towards the fox but Kyuubi's hard expression didn't change. Arashi now knew that he was serious.
"Arashi, this is about Sai." Arashi was confused, what was wrong? Kyuubi must've read his mind because he said, "I know as well as you do that he's a Century Child. He's dangerous for our family."
"What are you saying?" Arashi asked backing up towards the door. Kyuubi appeared behind him wrapping his arms around Arashi, "I know how much you love him… which is why I need to take him away for a while. I promise you I won't hurt him, but I'm going to take him to my trainer."
Arashi pushed out of Kyuubi's grasp. "What are you talking about?! He's a newborn baby who can't possibly be away from his mother! Don't you dare take him away from me or so help me I'll kill you slowly and painfully!"
"Arashi listen, he needs to be taught from a young age to control his power or otherwise he'll kill you and Naruto." Arashi held a katana to Kyuubi and said, "You touch my baby and I swear I will kill you!"
There they stood for a moment before Kyuubi burst into a run and ran upstairs to where Sai was. Itachi was lying on the floor asleep with Sai, who was fast asleep himself, on his chest. Kyuubi took Sai into his arms carefully and then saw Arashi at the door with his hunting gear on.
Kyuubi was a little startled and a bit confused, "Just how did you get into all that so quickly?" He asked but an arrow was fired missing Kyuubi's eye by a fraction of an inch. A little scratch formed around his temple and Kyuubi brought a hand up to where it was. Seeing Arashi reloading his small arrows into a small cross bow that hooked up around his wrist he was a little afraid. Arashi meant business. And until he promised not to touch Sai this would get very ugly.
"You know as well as I do that I purposefully missed you. Put down the baby and I'll be a bit merciful towards you." Arashi said pointing the arrow right at him.
Kyuubi knew that a 'bit' merciful would possibly mean near death. So Kyuubi did the manliest thing that he knew about. He stuck out his tongue and disappeared with the baby in a flash of flame. Once he was outside everyone on the street heard a yell of, "GET BACK HERE BASTARD!!!" And there was Arashi jumping from the second story with all his hunting gear on. Kyuubi wasn't surprised though, Arashi usually jumped off sky scrapers with all those weapons on him.
Kyuubi began running with Sai in his arms. He knew that Arashi wouldn't aim towards his chest or head at the risk of hitting Sai or of Kyuubi falling to the ground crushing the baby. So that meant only one possible region. Looking down he knew that Arashi could go for his Achilles tendons or for the backs of his knees. Those would be lethal places that wouldn't heal over in a matter of seconds to minutes. In fact they would never heal over.
The hunt was on.
Kyuubi used his magic to teleport him and Sai to another place in town. Running around for a bit he stopped to check if Sai was alright. Sai was still sound asleep next to his chest as if nothing was going on. Kyuubi smiled and began his run again; he had to make sure that Arashi didn't get to him that easily. Arashi was fast but he wasn't sure if he'd be able to find him. Seeing Arashi right in front of him he quickly said, "Oh shit!" and began to run down the closest alley.
People in the shopping street were a little confused when they ran past them, Arashi yelling, "Get back here bastard!" It must've been some guy who didn't pay his bill. But what a guy to follow a thief all this way.
Arashi looked around… he was now at a dead end. Kyuubi was clever that's for sure. Looking at the wall in front of him he noticed how there were imprints. Arashi looked up to see one last trail of Kyuubi's long hair. Arashi took a few steps back and then ran up the wall.
Little did Kyuubi know that when Arashi was under the intense training of Jiraiya, he had to climb up mountains with his feet, without using any magic or climbing gear. He only got a few steps back and a running start to climb up a vertical incline of 1000 feet. So Arashi was up there in no time glaring at Kyuubi as he brought out his guns. Kyuubi knew those guns. They fired binds that were made to hold certain demons in place. And judging by the magazines that were in them they were made for fire demons. "Shit." Kyuubi said before he began jumping towards the next roof and then the roof after that.
Another thing that Kyuubi obviously forgot was that Arashi always jumped from rooftop to rooftop every night when he was a full time hunter. So off again they were with the hunt. Arashi fired the bullets at Kyuubi and the fire fox quickly saw how the bullets formed some sort of magical chain. Kyuubi ducked and let them go past him quickly. Kyuubi laughed and then felt something against the back of his leg. Looking over his shoulder it seemed to be the edge of the building that he was on. He was falling quickly and he felt something grab hold of his leg.
Arashi pulled him up by his leg and took Sai out of his arms. Dropping Kyuubi he opened up the bundle of blankets lovingly, ignoring the sounds of Kyuubi screaming. Seeing a brick with a stupid face drawn on it (a tongue sticking out and everything) he glared and looked over the edge. Kyuubi showed him the real baby who apparently woke up and was smiling happily at his mom. "Don't worry Sai, mommy's coming!" Arashi jumped down and began firing at Kyuubi again. The police across the street heard the firing and saw Arashi and Kyuubi run out of the alley way. "I said give him back to me you bastard!"
"Should we do something about it Charlie?" One asked the other. The policeman named Charlie shook his head, "I'm not finished yet. Besides the guys on the other street should get them."
"Yeah you're right… More coffee?"
Back with Arashi and Kyuubi, Kyuubi looked around frantically for a place to go. Arashi panted angrily at the other. "Give me back my baby!" Kyuubi saw the traffic signals were red but he had to run and get away from Arashi. So jumping into the street he jumped onto of the cars hearing people yell at him about him being crazy. Arashi was afraid for the safety of Sai and hurriedly ran out doing the exact same thing as Kyuubi.
But when he got to the other side he couldn't find Kyuubi anywhere. His eyes were slowly filling with tears and he fell down on the sidewalk crying because he couldn't' find Sai. His eyes filling with anger he loaded up a new gun, this gun was had heat censoring, and since Kyuubi's body temperature was always at 120 degrees he would be able to find him easily. Since the bullets only targeted the hottest thing in the area.
Loading in the magazines he fired off a bullet looking at the locater he followed the bullet as it stalked out his husband. Arashi watched as the bullet came to a stop. Hearing a scream from the cemetery he ran in there and found Kyuubi lying on the ground with the bullet in his arm. Sai was lying on the ground too, giggling at his dad being hurt. Kyuubi was scratching at his arm and trying to get the bullet out. Arashi ran over to Sai and tried to pick him up. Kyuubi barked at Arashi and the hunter glared back at him. Picking up Sai he cradled the baby in his arms, as he began walking away he looked back to see Kyuubi still clawing at his arm. Arashi felt pity towards Kyuubi and went towards him. Going to the others arm that was bleeding from being scratched at he dug the bullet out with one of his knives, putting the bullet back into the gun. Smirking he got up again and began walking away with Sai in his arms.
Hearing someone running towards him he turned back to see Kyuubi running at full speed. Arashi was too stunned that he didn't even notice when Sai was taken from his arms. Looking down he was surprised and then angry.
"DAMNIT!!!" Running after the demon again the hunt was on…
Again.
This went on for hours until Kyuubi was starting to get tired from running. He knew that Arashi was close behind him and so he kept running.
Arashi loaded up his arrows and took aim at the one place Kyuubi didn't think he'd go. Arashi sure knew his weak points as arrows went into his tailbone. Kyuubi couldn't run anymore, he couldn't use magic to get out of this either. He was paralyzed and he just stood there as Arashi made his way towards him. It was after dark and nobody would be out on the streets to see what happened. Kyuubi felt his vision blurring as Arashi stepped closer.
"Damn overprotective bitch." Kyuubi whispered as he fell over completely knocked out. Arashi quickly took Sai out of his arms and began to leave Kyuubi. But looking back at the demon he went over towards him and dragged him back to the house.
As Arashi stepped in he called out to see if anyone was home. Naruto came down the stairs and asked what had happened. Itachi took Sai out of the tired hunter's arms and Arashi just shook his head and threw Kyuubi onto the couch making sure the demon landed on his stomach. Arashi pulled all of the mini arrows out from the tail bone making sure that the blood was circulating through all nine tails Arashi pounded upstairs and slammed his door. Itachi looked at Sai who was smiling and laughing at the same time.
"You little devil… You meant for them to do this didn't you?" Sai laughed even harder and Itachi shook his head. "What an idiot."

Kyuubi woke up a few hours later feeling that he was on a cushion of some kind. The shower was going upstairs and he tried to move again. Finding he couldn't he lay still looking around at where he was. He was in the living room and by the looks of it he was sleeping on the couch. Laying his head back down he looked towards the ceiling, he heard the taps being turned off in the shower and he closed his eyes once again.
Feeling a hand on his face he looked to see Arashi smiling at him. "Hey…" Arashi quietly said. Kyuubi turned his head and licked the palm of Arashi's hand. The latter giggled at the touch and got onto the couch straddling Kyuubi's waist. Lying his body on top of the others he sighed out, "That's better…"
"What is?"
"It turns out I can't go to sleep without you by me. So if you're immobilized for a little bit then I guess I have to sleep here too." Kyuubi laughed a bit and wrapped his arm around Arashi.
"I've been thinking Kyuubi… About letting you take Sai. I'll let you take him when you're better. But please don't let anything happen to him." Kyuubi kissed Arashi's head, "You think I would allow anything to happen to my son?"
Arashi smiled as he felt Kyuubi's tails encircling his body.
--
The next day Kyuubi was back on his feet. Taking Sai from Arashi's arms he began walking out the door. Arashi spoke up first though, "Kyuubi!"
Kyuubi turned around and looked in his wife's eyes. "I'll be back. I promise, both of us."
"But how long?" Sai was wriggling around in Kyuubi's arms wanting to be in Arashi's instead.
"For about two human years…" Kyuubi said quietly enough for Arashi to hear. "Two years?!" Kyuubi nodded, "That should give Sai enough time to train. I promise that we'll be back as soon as possible." Walking up to Arashi he gave him a long passionate kiss. Arashi kissed him back and then kissed Sai's forehead. "Be sure to feed him, and make sure he gets enough attention."
"I will Arashi…" Kyuubi said laughing a bit. Opening up a portal to the demon world he smiled back one last time, taking Sai's hand he waved it at Arashi and Naruto.
Arashi sat on the stoop as Kyuubi vanished from his sights. Naruto touched Arashi and said, "Don't worry mom. Dad will be back soon."
Arashi smiled up at Naruto, "Well… if your father is taking Sai to his trainer. Then I'll take you to mine."
And so the training began for both of the Uzumaki boys. But what will happen two years from now? Well… you'll have to stay in tune for the next chapter of Oceanborn.
TBC
(shoots self) This was a highly pointless chapter. But it does help lay out the story a little bit. So yeah. Reviews are appreiciated.
Next chapter: Naruto is now 17 and a half years old. What happens when Sai and Kyuubi return? Well… lets just say that Sai and Naruto… They don't really go together. And Sai hates Sasuke. And I mean… HATES Sasuke.
