"So, you see, by extracting the Kyuubi's soul from inside Naruto's, we can place Naruto inside his new body, and reseal the demon inside him. The reason why is because Naruto's soul is unable to read the soul makeup of his body because it doesn't recognize it without the Kyuubi. The man who went to the trouble of putting the demon inside a child was careful to make sure that the demon couldn't ever leave, even when Naruto died. The Kyuubi died as well, but a fragment of its soul was left behind inside of Naruto's." Naruto's soul floated in Death's right hand, bleached white. Naruto was remaining inactive at the moment because Shinigami-sama was suppressing him inside. Tsubaki and Black Star stood not too far away, starring intently at their friend. Maka and Soul stood watching with Sasuke watching with mild interest. Kid, Liz, and Sakura had just arrived with Stein. Patty was not far behind. Death Scythe was also there, glaring daggers back and forth between Soul and Sasuke.
"Now, Let's begin."
Shinigami-sama placed his other hand over Naruto, and a bright red light shot out between his fingers. A symbol the size of one of Shinigami-sama's large hands appeared in front of them, glowing bright blue. It was a swirl with eight lines that seemed to be protruding from it like the blades on a windmill. The only difference was that they weren't touching, and the lines were actually Japanese symbols. The symbol rippled like water, and froze. Then it began to crack, slowly and slowly, until it shattered and dissipated in the air. Everyone stood around it, starring intently at Shinigami-sama's hands. He unfolded them, and held out two objects.
In his right hand was a bright yellow soul. Naruto. Upon closer inspection, the small black lines that once resembled whiskers on his face were now gone, and his face was passive, void of any emotion as if he were in a trance. But when you looked to his left hand, a flaming orange-red object with a purple core flared dangerously. Everyone was starring at it. "That thing is a soul?" Soul asked, starring intently at it. Shinigami-sama nodded grimly. "Yes. It doesn't look anything like it, but it is. It's far more corrupt that that of a Kishin egg." A shape began to form inside the fire, and much to the reaper's dismay, everyone leaned in. A terrifying, snarling image of some kind of animal formed from the flames and launched itself at the closest person nearby. That person happened to be Maka. She let out a glass shattering scream and threw her arms up in a defensive position over her face. The demon's wavelength hit her dead on in the stomach, and she flew backwards, spinning into one of the legs of the large guillotines over the hallway. "Maka!" Everyone turned to help her, but Soul and Death Scythe beat them to it, Death Scythe pulling her out of the hole she made, and Soul sitting her down against it. There was a large hole in her trench coat on shirt, exposing her burned flesh to everyone. The skin was raw and red, and melting off of the muscle. Maka was unresponsive. Her eyes were open, but she was completely out cold.
Shinigami-sama pocketed the Kyuubi's soul, preventing it from attacking anyone else, and handed Naruto's soul to Tsubaki. He grumbled and turned towards Sakura. "Sakura, congratulations. You will be the first to be resurrected. Stein, go to the infirmary and get the body. Hurry." Stein nodded and bolted out of the room as fast as he could. Shinigami-sama ran to Maka and examined the burn. When he reached out to it, the burn started to glow red, and Maka screamed. The scream resonated through Sasuke and Kid. Why you may ask? Because the scream reminded them of Sakura's. Kid slammed his hands over his ears, but the scream was still penetrating them.
Finally, he snapped.
"GET IT AWAY FROM HER!"
Shinigami-sama slid away from the screaming girl and was by Kid's side in a second. "What's wrong?" He asked urgently, examining his son. Kid was still hunched over, despite the fact that Maka had stopped screaming. His pupils had shrunk down to the point where they were nearly gone, and his whole main shook violently. It looked like he was seizing, but he wasn't. He was just that petrified.
Black Star looked over at Naruto, who still hadn't moved since the demon was extracted. He bent down so that he was eye level with the soul in Tsubaki's hands.
"How did you ever manage to keep that thing inside you?"
Naruto slowly turned to face him. Tsubaki's face turned white, and Black Star shot up. "Tsubaki? What did he say?" Tsubaki's hands trembled, and she fell to her knees, holding Naruto to her chest.
"He said…. He never did…."
The wound in Maka's stomach was now bleeding slightly, and a bit of drool dribbled down the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were still open, only this time, they were a little wider. Death Scythe ripped his suit jacket off and held it over her stomach, absorbing some of the blood. Maka's finger twitched slightly. It was still difficult to tell whether or not she was still unconscious. Soul grit his teeth in anger and helped Death Scythe turn her so she was lying down. Soul took off his own jacket and folded it under her head to act as a pillow. "Damn…." Death Scythe growled, hitting the leg of the guillotine with the side of his fist. Soul silently agreed with him. They couldn't do anything to save Maka, and yet they were standing right there. What use were they if they couldn't protect their daughter and meister?
Liz and Patty were holding kid, trying to get him to calm down. Sakura starred in horror at Maka, still trying to figure out what she could do to help. She turned to kid and floated down low to his face. "Kid-kun!" Kid didn't budge. He was still shaking with Liz and Patty on each side of him, each with an arm around his back and a hand gripping his shoulders. Though both of them looked utterly horrified as well, they kept strong. "Hey little sis…?" Sakura turned to Patty, who's eyes were wide and pleading. Sakura's heart would have fallen to pieces, if she had one. She nodded to the little blonde, smiling sadly. Patty looked down at Kid, then at Sakura. "Please… Help Kid… and help Maka too…." Sakura nodded and gave Patty a peck on the forehead before snuggling slightly into her cheek. "Don't worry… I'll do everything I can.." Though Patty couldn't hear her, she could understand Sakura's motives, and nodded. Sakura floated over to Kid again, this time, she began to glow brightly.
"DAMMIT KID, SNAP OUT OF IT!"
She forced her wavelength towards him and shocked him into reality. Kid's shaking halted, and he slowly let go of his head. His pupils were still retracted in fear, but he managed to look at Sakura. "Sakura…?" "Tell the red head guy and Soul to take the jacket off of her!" Kid blinked slowly. "Why do you need…?" "HURRY!" Kid shot up and ran over to Death Scythe. "Spirit, take the jacket off and let Sakura examine the wound. She's a medical ninja. She knows what she's doing." Death Scythe wasted no time. He took the jacket off, and Sakura sped over to them.
Tsubaki and Black Star joined Liz and Patty, who were now watching Sakura as she flew around Maka's stomach, barking orders at Kid, who relayed them to Soul and Death Scythe. "Sakura… Is pretty cool, isn't she?" Tsubaki asked, turning to Liz and Patty. Liz nodded, still in a state of shock. Patty smiled and relaxed slightly. "She's going to fix Maka up good as new. Just like she fixed Kid." Tsubaki smiled at Patty's confidence and nodded. "I think so too. Black Star?" Black Star nodded, starring intently at Naruto. While all this was going on, the gears in his head were spinning rapidly, trying to unfold everything. Naruto's power had to be god-like in nature if he had something like that inside him. The fact that he could suppress it made him all that more intimidating in Black Star's mind. He had the incredible desire to fight him as soon as he was in his body. He had to, other wise he couldn't forgive himself. He was going to surpass God, and he couldn't allow Naruto to be that far ahead of him. No way in hell.
Shinigami-sama slid over to Sasuke. If even possible, his soul was darker than black now. Standing next to him, Shinigami-sama felt the remorse and pain coming from him as he starred at Maka's face. "That's what Naruto's face looked like…. And she screams like Sakura…. I can't save her…. I feel useless…." Shinigami-sama pat his head with a large white finger, but not before tossing the Kyuubi into the mirror. Sasuke winced slightly. "Neither can I. Nether can any of us. No one can save her right now except Sakura. We just have to have faith." He could feel Sasuke trembling under his hand. "There's nothing wrong with feeling useless. It only means that we're human. As I said, we just have to have faith, and know that Sakura has the power to help Maka."
Footsteps could be heard down the hallway. In came Sid, holding a brown haired girl in a scrub top and pants as he ran. Shinigami-sama raised a brow. "What happened to Stein?" "I run much faster than he does. He really needs to quit smoking. I told him to rest and I would take care of the body, since that's the kind of man I was." Shinigami-sama nodded and took the girl from him. Slowly, the girl opened her large tawny eyes and turned to look at Shinigami-sama. "I need to borrow your body while you are away. If I don't, the world will be in grave danger. Do you accept, Lynn?" The girl's head fell forward in a drunken nod. "Very well then." He lay her body down on the floor and placed his hand over her eyes, closing them. The girl's soul slowly rose up, phasing through her chest. Shinigami-sama took the soul and handed it to Sid. "Take her outside, let her family say good bye before she leaves." Sid nodded and took the soul, then walked slowly to take the girl to her funeral. Tsubaki and the others starred at him as he left the death room.
"So…. That's how it is. Her family is outside waiting to say their final good byes to her soul, because she doesn't have her body anymore." Liz mumbled to herself. "It's better to say good bye to the soul rather than her body. This way, Lynn can hear what her family members have to say. If we didn't need her body, her soul would have remained inside her body until it rotted away, and she would have never gotten a chance to hear what they wanted to say to her. But now that it's out in the open, without her body to weight her down, she can say good bye to them as well, and move on to where ever it is she is meant to be," Shinigami-sama reassured her. The Thompson's, Tsubaki, and Black Star smiled. Yes, this would be the best way for both 'Lynn' and her family.
"Sakura, are you ready?" Sakura turned around just after instructing the men on how to put Maka's melted flesh back into place, and nodded slowly. "Shinigami-sama…. I've been attacked by the Kyuubi as well. The wound I received took an incredibly long time to heal completely. Healing chakra alone wasn't enough. The wound dealt to Maka isn't life threatening. She'll be just fine. But the Kyuubi's chakra has been forced into her, and that can cause her to react violently whenever she tries to use her wavelength. If used enough times, her wavelength can begin to affect Soul, and everyone around her. When in my body, I will be able to heal her slowly over time, but she and soul can't go on any missions until I am sure the chakra has been completely washed away from her body. I say this now because when I'm flesh again, I'll be a bit weak from not using my chakra for so long, and I won't be able to stay awake. But I'm sure that I can heal it enough to rearrange her skin. From there, you'll need to get her bandaged up and calmed down. She's conscious, but she's in a terrible state of shock." Shinigami-sama nodded. "Understood."
Sakura flew over to him. He took her in his hands and opened the mouth of the body. "Now when you enter, you'll be able to find the space where your soul is meant to sit. Everything will be a bit foggy, and you'll feel drowsy, but try to stay awake." Sakura nodded and flew into the mouth.
For a few seconds, everyone was silent.
Kid slowly walked over to the body and knelt down next to it. "So… Sakura is going to live again?" Shinigami-sama responded with a yes and tapped the body with his index finger, just under her collar bone. The sound of Sakura's soul ricocheting off of the body's rib cage made everyone wince. When the rattling stopped, so did everyone's breathing. They waited for a few moments, but nothing happened. Maka let out a groan and yelped. Death Scythe shushed her, telling her that it was okay, that she would be fine. Soul held her shoulders, preventing her from sitting up as she had tried to do before. He gave them a light squeeze, letting her know he was there. Maka closed her eyes tightly and bit her lip. Soul noticed this and smiled, then reached over and held the hand that Death Scythe wasn't holding. "Hey, your in a lot of pain. You don't have to fight the tears for us. Go ahead and cry if it helps the pain a little." Unwillingly, Maka let a few tears slip out, mentally cursing herself for listening. "Hey, it's okay Maka, Papa's here too. Listen to Soul. It's okay."
Kid growled and turned back to the body with a pained look. "Why isn't anything happening!?" Shinigami-sama frowned to himself. "It takes a few minutes." "We don't have a few minutes! Maka's in pain, we have to do something-" "Kid! Look!" Tsubaki cried out, pointing to the body.
The girl's wavy brown hair smoothed itself out, becoming perfectly straight. Her hair began to turn bubble gum pink, from the roots down to the tips until they were completely white-washed with pink. The tanned skin of the body slowly melted into a light cream color, the same shade as Kid's, and the girl's cheeks lit up to a rosy color. The blood was returning to her face.
Kid smiled and slipped his right arm under the girl's head, while using his left one to bring them girl closer to him. "Sakura. Can you hear me?" The girl's mouth twitched slightly. Kid's eyes lit up. He lifted her a little. "Sakura, It's Kid! If you can hear me, we need your help with Maka!" A spark of mint green shone brightly through her light pink lashes. Her eyes were halfway open, her head lulled to her left. "Kid… Kid-kun…?" Kid's lips stretched tightly across his teeth as he showed off a beaming smile to the girl. "Sakura… how are you feeling…?" The girl reached up slowly with her right hand, grabbing onto Kid's shoulder and attempting to pull herself up. She only managed to sit up and fall against his chest. "I'm having trouble…. Sitting…" He put a hand under her back, and one under her legs, lifting her into his arms and standing up. Sakura's arm was draped across his shoulder limply. She slowly lifted her head and starred at him with those half lidded orbs. "Can you help Maka?" She nodded and let her head fall under his chin. "Take me over to her. The least I can do is help her to sleep through the pain." Kid hummed a yes and slowly walked over to Maka.
"Maka, how are you doing?" Maka opened one eye and grimaced a smile at Kid. "More…" "Maka, don't strain yourself." Soul gave Kid a look, and Kid frowned apologetically. "Here we go…" He sat Sakura down next to Maka, slowly letting her go. She started to fall back, but Death Scythe reached over in time to put his hand under her back. Kid grabbed her and held her up. "Sorry." "Don't worry. It's fine," Death Scythe chuckled. Sakura reached over and put her hand on Maka's melted flesh, smoothing out over the muscle and back into place. Maka screamed and tried to wiggle around, but Soul still had her shoulders, Death Scythe made a mad dash for her arms, and Kid held her legs down with his left one, due to the fact that he was still holding Sakura. Black Star quickly ran over and took Sakura while Kid held Maka's legs. "It doesn't look that painful… but the Kyuubi's chakra is still eating away at the wound. Even the smallest amount of movement feels like someone's ripping her open with their bare hands." When the skin was covering the wound completely, Sakura's hand began to glow bright green.
Everyone starred in awe, and the girls moved in closer to see what was going on. Maka's flesh began to sizzle and steam, and she started to scream louder. The chakra was trying to fight back against Sakura's. Sakura winced and stopped the healing process for a moment. "Damn." "What? What is it?" Death Scythe asked in a panic. Sakura smiled and closed her eyes. "The Kyuubi's chakra is trying to eat my own. I'm only able to heal the surface enough to keep her skin in place." Sakura's arm collapsed beside Maka. Her head drooped, and when she tried to open her eyes, they opened in colorless slits. "I'm… about to pass out… Black Star… right?" "Yeah. That's me." He responded in a half grin, feeling rather proud of himself since she knew his name. "Lift my arm and put it on Maka's forehead….. I'll help her sleep…." Black Star nodded and did as she said. Sakura's hand started to glow again. Maka's screaming stopped. Her teeth were clenched and her eye lids straining themselves over their green irises. But soon her mouth closed and relaxed in a thin line, and her eyes did the same. Her head went limp and lolled to the left. "She's sleeping now. Now that she's not trying to resist the pain, the Kyuubi's chakra should…. Sho…" Sakura's eyes closed and she went limp in Black Stars arms. He carefully set her down on the ground next to the scythe meister.
Death Scythe, Soul, and Kid all breathed out a sigh of relief. They released Maka and collapsed against the closest wall, which, again was the guillotine. Shinigami-sama stood up and looked around. The Thompson sisters crowded around Sakura, checking her pulse and making sure she was okay. Tsubaki and Black Star were mumbling back and forth to each other, while Sasuke just floated in the air next to Shingiami-sama's head. "There. You see? Maka and Sakura are fine. And look, Sakura is alive again. So you don't have to worry about her anymore." "If anything I should worry even more now. She could easily be killed again. She's-" "Not as weak as you think, Sasuke." Sasuke glanced at him. "I've seen her fight. She's good. She's excellent, but-" "You haven't seen Sakura's full potential. In past battles, when you were faced with her, she held back, because she didn't really want to hurt you. If you saw her fight without holding back, even you would be blown away. She's a carbon copy of your village leader, Lady Tsunade." Sasuke frowned. "That doesn't mean-" "The fact that she was able to stay awake that long is amazing. If I put you in your body right now, you probably wouldn't be able to stay awake for nearly as long."
This brought out the Uchiha's competitive streak. Shinigami-sama noticed the glint in his eye and chuckled. "So then, want to test my theory?" Sasuke nodded once. Shinigami-sama clapped his hands together, which caused everyone to look in his direction. "Well then, Sasuke wants to make a bet with me. Anyone want to see him lose?" "I won't lose you bastard." Shinigami-sama giggled and shook his finger at Sasuke. "Ah-ah~! Watch your tone or I may have to give you a Shinigami-chop~!" Kid raised an eyebrow at his childish Father, forgetting about his symmetry complex for a moment. "Father… You can hear him…?" Shinigami-sama nodded. "Of course. I can hear all of their voices. I even understood them when they were speaking in Japanese!" Everyone deadpanned. "You mean you could understand them the entire time!?" Shinigami-sama put his hands up and backed away nervously. "Well… I wanted you to teach them English before they got their bodies. You all had to teach them on your own."
Tsubaki started giggling nervously. Everyone turned and looked at her. "I may have not thought about teaching Naruto English…" Everyone blinked at her. Liz slowly clapped her hands. "Bravo Tsubaki." Tsubaki pouted childishly and threw her hands into fists at her sides. "Oh shut up Liz!" Patty giggled lightly. Everyone turned to look at her. Sakura's head was laying in her lap, and Patty was running her fingers through her soft pink hair, brushing out the tangles very gently. Her eyes were locked on Sakura's face, and she smiled just a little more with each time she brought her hand down on her head. "Thanks a lot little sis." Despite the chaos of the prior event, everyone smiled and looked down at Sakura. She had helped Maka. If only a little. The wound may not have been entirely life threatening, but if what she said was true, or at least what she was trying to say, then the Kyuubi's chakra wouldn't eat the wound anymore. Now there was only the task of extracting it from her body. And as Sakura also said, that would take a while with lots of rest. That part Shinigami-sama had to relay to the others.
"Now, Let's get those two to the infirmary and get Naruto and Sasuke in their bodies."
So after a lethal argument with Death Scythe, Soul carried Maka, and Death Scythe carried Sakura to the infirmary. Death Scythe argued that she was his daughter and tied guilty tripping Soul that it would be the last time he'd ever get to hold his daughter again, but Soul didn't buy into it, and just walked off with her instead. "You just want to hold her because you're a closet perv!" Soul snorted and continued to walk without glancing at him. "Yeah right, if I were a real pervert I'd be carrying Sakura, not tiny tits. Now why don't you just carry Sakura and be happy. We all know you're the real pervert." Death Scythe glanced over his shoulder at Sakura and smirked. "The again, I am a notorious perv~." "Death Scythe, I swear on behalf of the seven levels of hell if you do anything to Sakura, I'll drop kick you out of death city," Came Kid's deadly yet cheerful reply. Death Scythe froze and nodded. "C'mon, you really think I'd do anything like that to a little girl my daughter's age?" "Yes," Everyone said. He pouted and sprinted out of the room after Soul. Eventually, everyone followed.
"I need to borrow your body while you are away. If I don't, the world will be in grave danger. Do you accept?" The grey haired boy nodded and chuckled dryly. "I… wake up finally…. Just to be asked if I'm okay with dying…." "You won't feel pain anymore. Besides, your soul has expired. If you don't leave, you'll just stay in your body and rot, and never know the joys of heaven." The boy's faded pink eyes closed. "I'm going to heaven?" "I believe so. You seem like a good kid." Shinigami-sama said in a cheerful tone. The boy smiled. "Can I…. Can I say good-bye to my Gran first?" Shinigami-sama nodded. "When you leave your body, you will be free to say good-bye in whatever way you please. Sid will take you to your grandmother. This way you won't be weighted down, and you won't be worrying her. She'd much rather see you when you're not in a comma, happy and responsive." The boy chuckled. "Alright. You can use my body." The soul rose out of its chest. Sid took the soul and began to walk away. Sasuke quickly darted into the boy's mouth and bounced around inside the body, searching for the soul cavity. Shinigami-sama sighed. "Always quick to prove a point, eh?" He turned around to the others, who were sitting on a bench across from the beds. The boy who Sasuke had just taken over was laying in the corner bed to the left. To the right was Sakura, then the brown haired boy for Naruto's body, and Maka. They were in the lobby of the infirmary.
"When will Sakura and Maka wake up?" Black Star asked, leaning forward in his seat. Shinigami-sama shook his head. "I don't know myself. When Sakura awakens, If Maka is still unconscious, then you'll have to ask her." The grey haired boy groaned, and everyone focused their attention on him. He sat up in the bed, a hand covering his face. Soul stepped up to bat and stood next to him, starring at him down his nose. "Sasuke?"
The boy's hair seemed to go through the same ordeal as Sakura's, the only difference was his hair bleached from light to dark instead of dark to light. The front half of his hair seemed to grow out, where the back of his hair shrunk back into his head. The back of his head also perked up in a peculiar manner, his hair sticking out in tufts of spikes like that of a porcupine. His bangs moved around his forehead, changing their shape slightly and framing both sides of his face. His skin seemed to grow slightly darker than before, going from snow white to pale peach.
"What?"
His voice was raspy and deep, and it sounded like he desperately needed a drink. "How are you feeling?" Soul really didn't give a damn, but he needed something to tell Maka when she woke up. Sasuke's new hand lifted away from his face and hovered an inch away from his eyes. To soul, his irises looked like liquid ink. They were so black, you couldn't see his pupils.
"Like shit." Shinigami-sama giggled. "I warned you~!" Sasuke's eyes grew wide. He did a front hand spring out of the bed before the grim reaper could hit him. Sasuke's quick retreat from the gurney caused Shinigami-sama to hit that instead, splitting the bed in half. Sasuke ogled at it, falling backwards on his butt. He slowly raised his hands to his face and starred at them. He flexed them a bit before grabbing one of the support beams nearby to lift himself to his feet. He did a better job at standing than Sakura had. But this was short lived.
Sasuke collapsed in a heap on the floor.
No one moved. No one breathed. Tsubaki put her hand up slowly and starred at him. "Um… shouldn't we check to see if he's okay?" She was answered when a loud snore erupted from the Uchiha's mouth. Everyone in the room blinked at him. "I win~! I knew he wouldn't be able to stay awake. But the fact that he could avoid my Shinigami-chop like that is amazing!" Shinigami-sama called for Nygus, who lifted the boy onto her shoulder and drug him over to a new gurney in the right corner of the room. "I wonder how he will react… oh well! Tsubaki, please bring Naruto over here." Tsubaki nodded and did as she was asked. She pulled Naruto out of her pocket and handed him to Shinigami-sama, who walked over to the body of the brown haired boy. He put Naruto down on the boy's stomach and glanced over at the group of students(Plus Death Scythe) on the bench. "None of you would happen to have a mirror on you?" Death Scythe stood and reached into his pocket, pulling out a small square mirror. He handed it to Shinigami-sama and sat back down.
The grim reaper stuck his entire hand inside the small mirror and slowly pulled out the same flaming orbs from before. Everyone winced. Soul backed up into Maka's bed. If that thing tried to go after her again, he would make sure it couldn't. Even if it meant injuring himself. But before he could even blink, Shinigami-sama had opened the boy's mouth and shoved Naruto inside. Soon after that, he lifted the body's shirt enough for everyone to see the naval. All leaned in, curios as to what he would do next.
But they weren't expecting that at all.
Shinigami-sama actually shoved the Kyuubi's soul inside the naval, causing it to make a loud popping noise as it entered completely. "What the hell was that?" Black Star asked, wondering how in the world the soul hadn't burned a hole through the body. Shinigami-sama hummed. "The Kyuubi is familiar with Naruto's soul. They've both been in resonance for so long that Naruto is immune to the harmful affects of Kyuubi's wavelength. Not only that, but Naruto need's the Kyuubi's wavelength in order to operate properly. They're long standing resonance comes naturally to Naruto, so he's not used to being without it. And we don't have time to wean him off of that resonance and fit him in his body without it." Suddenly he raised his hand in the air, flexing his fingers. Eight blue lights, each with different characters inside them appeared around his hand. Kid recognized it. "Father! That's the same seal that broke when you separated Naruto and Kyuubi!" Shinigami-sama hummed again, this time it came out as a chuckle. "Sixteen years. That's how long it's been since I've had to do this. I wonder what your father would say, don't you? Naruto?"
He dug his fingers deep into the flesh of the body. Its arms and legs shot up from the impact. The head flew forward as well. But the eyes were open, and a small amount of saliva flew from its lungs. A pair of whisker-like markings, three on each cheek, burned themselves onto the flesh of the boy. His hair flew out in a crown of spikes, getting tussled around his head in a matted mess of golden yellow. His ocean blue irises sparked dangerously from the impact of the grim reaper's fist with his stomach, exploding to life with a lively fire and pain. His canines sparkled in the fluorescent lighting of the infirmary. Everyone noticed how they were slightly larger than that of a normal human, and made a mental note to be careful around them. Yes, they were that fearsome looking.
Shinigami-sama retracted his hand and looked down at the boy, who had fallen back onto the bed. His limbs were limp and hung off of the bed. His eyes were rolled back into his head so that all you could see were the whites of his eyes. Black Star was the first of everyone to stand up and run over to him. He grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him once. "Naruto! Naruto!" Tsubaki starred at him, horrified. "Is he…. Is he…. Dead…?" Shinigami-sama's mask looked like it was frowning. "He certainly shouldn't be-"
Suddenly the boy shot up from the bed, slamming heads with Black Star. The blonde was unfazed by the impact, but Black Star flew backwards, bull dozing over Liz and Patty and slamming into the wall. The blonde boy turned and snarled at the grim reaper, his eyes burning. Shinigami-sama flinched and threw his hands up. He started speaking in Japanese, telling the boy to calm down and let him explain. But the boy was still unfazed. He inhaled deeply, sucking in air sharply through his teeth.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YA TRYING TO DO!? KILL ME!?"
Tsubaki blinked.
"At least I could have sworn I didn't teach him English…"
Well, I made the long awaited chapter 10 eight pages long, just for you guys(Death the Kid would be proud, lol). Also, I noticed something went wrong with the votes when I was going through my reviews. Something that was extremely stupid of me…
