Chapter Eleven
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The light of dawn struck Natsumi and she started to stir. Groaning she got up and stretched her body, she mumbled something about stupid suns and it being to bright so early. She doesn't remember getting to bed yesterday nor does she remember slipping into a pink silk nightgown. With her brain not cooperating this early she started to do her morning routine.
She took one good look around the room. It was very expensive looking rubbing her eyes in a sleepy manor she continued to take note of her room. The walls were painted with sky blue and a very soft carpet of crimson red covered the entire floor. Her queen size bed, now a complete mess, was laden with red silk sheets, a very comfy looking pillow half as big as her that was slightly wet and a white mattress. A large window with scarlet curtains had been drawn leading to a balcony looking out to the fields of Makai.
Wooden furniture with intricate carving of kanji and scenes adorn the room. A desk with a mirror attached to it and a very old looking cabinet that probably had her clothes. Light fixtures that seem to be nothing more than seals deactivate and left the side lamps and the central chandelier dark. She let out a yawn and went towards the bathroom.
She noted that her bathroom was clean and pearly white the floor was marble and a bathtub the size of a small pool was inside. Heck there was a chandelier in this room too! Not like her still sleep addled brain cared. Brushing her teeth and looking for her fridge which strangely wasn't there, 'Where is it?' she thought. Shrugging she went back to the bathroom. It was when she washed her face to wake up realization dawned.
She ran out of the room following her link with the fox, ignoring the kitsune maid who was about to knock on her door. The sheer force of her stampede knock her down on her butt, turning back she called out, "Gomen!" and continued to run at full speed.
She dusted herself then looked at the new princess, suddenly stars and sparkles appeared in her eyes, "Hime-sama is sooo cute!!" immediately activating fan-girl mode. And immediately a horde started to gossip in front of Natsumi's room.
She reached the end of the hall leading to a large double door with a large kitsune mural on it; she slowed down and reached for the handle shaking. She bit her lip, 'Was fuzz butt trying to trick me? Or could he really…' she knew that her family was long gone but she had a chance to start one here but was it really happening?
Being isolated all her life she subconsciously latches on to people that show her even a small amount of kindness and more often than not left her high and dry. So she developed a deep rooted fear of betrayal. She inhaled deeply and opened the door, whether it was true or not, it was something no one should joke about.
She pushed the double doors open to see an audience hall with a long table with a multiple chairs and a very large throne at the end of the room. There sat the very demon she seeks conversing with a very happy Jiraiya.
She walked up to the pair in very brisk manner, her eyes filled with worry and hope. "Kyuubi? Jiraiya-sensei?" she spoke out loud, not in her usual cheerful voice but a tone off one who experienced the worse of humanity for far too long.
They immediately stopped their conversation and turned to the blonde who was nervously shifting and looking at them straight in the eyes. They saw that she was worried and…hopeful? Kyuubi immediately recognized her problem, casting a side glance at Jiraiya.
Catching Kyuubi's gaze he lifted himself to his feet, "Well I'm off to meet Marimo-chan. So why won't I leave you two alone," he vanished in a swirl of leaves.
Silence fell before the pair clearing his throat Kyuubi broke it, "So kit what you want?"
"D-Did you really m-mean what you said earlier, I-I'm going be your d-daughter?" she asked standing firm her tail swishing in anticipation.
The fox smiled at his new kit and with a firm but assuring nod he found himself tackled by Natsumi wrapping him in a really big hug. She was snuggling against his warmth with him gently stroking her hair, he let out an internal chuckle, 'To think a mere child tamed me a demon lord,' he mused. She had a strange gift anybody and anyone she connects with changes in a way, yes even he the great Kyuubi no Youko.
She looked up with a very small but incredibly sincere smile on her face she wiped away the small tears of joy in her closed eyes. The Kyuubi thought, 'This is probably one of the few and very rare true smiles she gives. It makes her look like a tenshi instead of a hanyou, and by kami whoever gets her would be truly lucky, not that I'll make it easy for them,' he growled internally at the last part.
She pulled out of the embrace still wearing that small smile she opened her sky blue eyes filled with happiness, she was not his happy since she turned gennin. "So when are we going to train Kyuu-tousan?" she chimed.
'Tou-san? Heh, how ironic I who took her father away, who cared for her more than anything, now stands as her second father,' he turned to Natsumi and ruffled her hair with one clawed hand."Get dressed first then we'll talk about it at breakfast,"he replied scooting her out the door.
"Hai Kyuu-tousan!" she bolted out of the room with the eagerness she had when she was 12. Kyuubi let out a sigh, honestly she should stop that. Sure it was cute when she was young but she's 14! She should act like it!
'I'll get Sanada to drill some manners in her…' he paused and sweat dropped, 'then again both of then are just as bad, I'll get Kurohana to do it instead.'
He walked towards his throne and touched a very intricate seal on the chair, opening a large chamber of spiraling matter with shining specks that looked like stars in the Milky Galaxy. He looked around and found a very beautiful yellow orb with a spiraling blue matter inside, 'Ah there it is…with this she'll be truly my kit…'he paused and let out a sigh, 'perhaps it is time she learns the truth of that night…' he thought quietly.
Closing the chamber he called out, "Sanada!" (Cookie if anyone can guess where she's from)
With speed rivaling the Kiroi Senko, a maid with short black hair wearing a French maid outfit with a very short frilly skirt blurred into the hall. She had cat ears and a black cat tail wide brown eyes and a ribbon choker. She bowed with a small smile, "Yes Kyuu-sama?"
He has a feeling his going to regret this but, "Send invitations to all my friends, call your real master as well if you want to. And also…" he paused. 'Ok Kyuu, she was sent here for you to teach her self control…ok here goes,' he thought to himself as he started to sweat in nervousness, not for him but for our little blonde. "…get Natsumi dressed for a gathering"
"Hai, Kyuu-sama," she bowed to the demon lord, and calmly made her way to the door. Kyuubi relaxed a bit but he felt an all too familiar aura, 'Oh crap no…'
She wrenched the door open and stomp triumphantly into the hall, with determined eyes and a very happy smile she pulled out a cat paw whistle. The demon lord instinctively brought his hands to his ears with a tired expression. She blew hard, and in a moments notice almost the all of the palace's maids gathered and lined up in classic military fashion, "Hai, Taicho?" the spoke in chorus.
"Alright troops execute Operation-Hime!" she shouted with pumping her fist to the air with over whelming exuberance. Her own private army mimicked her and they all started to prepare the equipment, dresses, they were going to have her wear.
Kyuubi sighed and went to his room to prepare things then he remembered a particular memory when the Sandaime made her drop her henge temporarily to attend his grandson's birthday party as a surprise guest and to get her used to being a girl from time to time. Needless to say, formal events and Natsumi really don't go well. She yelled, kicked and screamed as the hapless old man tried to get her into a dress, 'What the hell did I just do?'
"Move Out!" Sanada called out and then they all rushed towards the little blonde's room that was oblivious to the whole thing. Kyuubi sighed again rubbed away the incoming headache, "I think I need a vacation."
Snapping his fingers a desk appeared he groaned as he noticed the overwhelming stack on his desk, 14 years worth in fact, "Scratch that, what I need is a sexy secretary," he muttered as he plopped down and started to read the first one in the towering stack frowning his brows in annoyance.
………
Natsumi was combing her hair while sitting in front of the mirror in her room. She was smiling softly as she felt the brush go through her golden locks. She let out a breath and gazed into the mirror. For the past years she never really took interest in her new features but now…
She started a fingering her ears noting the felt like down, her hair now had crimson strands, 'Just like Kaa-san,' she thought. She let out a giggle as she hugged her very soft tail, she thought back to the day she no longer fully human. She felt someone carry her out there she did not know who but she knew she trusted him with all her heart. She closed her eyes briefly an image of Sasuke carrying her bridal style appeared in her mind. She froze and blushed at the thought, "Why the hell am I thinking of Sasuke?" she asked out loud.
Sighing she stood up and removed her night gown, a slight blush and frown on her face. A knock on her door caught her attention. "I'll be there in a minute," she rushed through her cabinet tossing out the frilly dresses inside them in search for her clothes. The knocking became louder and insistent which annoyed the little blonde, forgetting the she was wearing nearly nothing but underwear she stomped to her door and wrenched it open, "What the hell do you want?!" she yelled.
All the answer she got was: "Good you're not dressed yet!" and an arm decorated with tape measure, pin cushions and cloth grabbed her.
"EH?!" was all she got with and the said arms dragged her out with a yank. The soldiers in the war room were standing in front of the door all with sweat drops as the heard the scuffling upstairs. One guard tapped a long raven haired female kitsune youkai wearing a white battle kimono (think Kikiyo's but all white) along with a dark blue obi tied with golden strings, along with a sash on her arm written with the kanji for 'captain.' "Uh…Kurohana-taicho, why aren't you going up there? Didn't Kyuubi-sama ask you to teach Hime-sama manners?" (For those wondering she how she looks like…I'm not vey good at facial descriptions so look at Kan'u Unchou from Ikki tousen)
"I ain't going up there even if Kyuubi-sama kills me, Sanada's up there," the kitsune youkai sighed in exasperation as she crossed her arms and scowled, as she though back to that incident when she was introduced to the neko youkai. After that she avoided her like the plague.
"Oh yeah she's going to get you in a maid suit again," the guard just had to drool at the exact worst moment as he recalled the incident, Kurohana was looking at him.
Her amber eyes charged with glint as she pulled out her black hoshi no tama transformed into a long bow, however instead of arrows she yanked a bunch of throwing spears from a nameless guard and loaded her bow with it. The fool decided to run as the angry tomboy as she fired her spears turned arrows at the hapless youkai.
A guy with white hair and a black hakama (Bleach) grumbled and called her over, "Kuro-chan," was all he said. He was very tall with a young face but his jaw was square and his hair lies flat on one side, amber eyes pooled with the slightest sign of annoyance but more on amusement was seen though his orbs. On his back was a white hoshi no tama cored zanbatou.
The girl stopped and coughed in her embarrassment, blushing she said, "Gomen, Shirogane-ni-san,"
The guy just nodded and went away to prepare for the trip he felt that was coming soon.
………
"NO!" she yelled as she tore through the halls half dressed.
"Execute plan R!" Sanada calmly spoke to a cat paw radio.
Natsumi was running as fast as she could, when a very familiar and appetizing aroma reached her nose. Her stomach growled, she remembered she didn't have breakfast yet so she headed to where the smell was coming from. She arrived at what seems to be the kitchen and there on the table lo and behold a piping hot bowl of ramen! She drooled at the sight, ignoring that part of her brain again and leapt at the bowl only to be caught by Sanada hiding under the table.
"Gotcha!" she called out.
"What the…" Natsumi looked up in shock as she was about to dig in. The sounds scuffling, punching, kicking and biting was heard outside the hall, where a group of maids marched right up the door and walked in as if nothing was happening at all. They were carrying the clothes Natsumi threw out of her closet…
"NO ANYTHING BUT THAT ONE!!!" was heard throughout all the halls of the grand castle.
………
Kyuubi had placed earplugs in his ears just in time before Natsumi's scream echoed through the halls. He watched with sadistic glee as a twitching Frog Hermit and fellow demon lords lied on the floor, "I told you so," he said his face had a toothy smirk, he might have turned over a new leaf but seeing the suffering of others was a permanent hobby. Why'd you think he made Kurohana to escort Sanada when she arrived? Why he set up sound amplification seals in the dining room? 'I still got it,' he thought with satisfaction, he leaned back in his chair and ate the leg of lamb while waiting for guests to wake up.
For about a few minutes the noise died down and the guests were now returning to their seats twitching slightly. The double doors of the dining room opened up and Sanada came out with an air of sophistication but Kyuubi can tell she was very, VERY happy.
"Kyuubi-sama, honored guests I would like to present Hime-sama," she stepped out of the way and waited for Natsumi to step out. The waited in vain as the said girl won't come out…A vein twitched on Sanada's forehead and grabbed the girl's arms and yanked her in an amazingly dignified manner as she retained her smiling yet twitching face.
Kyuubi was impressed and by the looks of it so was his guests. He let out a smirk when a very short blue haired youngling of an overlord blushed only to be hit in the head by his smiling blonde girl friend that from his knowledge was a fallen angel. The Kyuubi himself was an overlord himself but he prefers to be called a demon lord as it sounds much more bad ass in his opinion.
"Well she is quite a looker isn't she, Kyuubi…" spoke a silver headed overlord reaching up to her butt. She was wearing large shackles on her arms, she had bat wings and ruby slit eyes and a white puffy dress. She took a glance at Natsumi and smiled, "…and quite the future as well."
"Yes I know Pram it was no accident I was sealed in her in the first placed…" he said with content then he sighed as he watched Pram's smile change into a devilish smirk. He resigned to his fate, "…and as our agreement I'll help out that idiot of an overlord, ZettaHonestly burning the Sacred Tome…" he said shaking his head. He glared at the still smirking prophet, then he smirked as well as an idea entered his head, "…on second thought this might be a very entertaining venture." He let out a demonic cackle and joined by a softly laughing Pram as she understood what Kyuubi intends to do. (Makai kingdom reference I though it would fit in just fine)
Natsumi was blushing at all the attention she was getting. She felt really uncomfortable as the stupid dress makes her a lot less mobile. It wasn't bad looking though. It was simple and tight orange one piece that snugs her curves, showing them off completely. It has a v-line that shows some skin, along with a pair of elbow length gloves. Her hair was done in a simple small braid on the right side and letting the rest fall flat, her ears and tail were exposed and they were moving around restlessly.
"Well then let me introduce my vessel and my daughter, Namikaze Natsumi," he called out as he and Pram finished talking about all he could to do the bookworm.
Natsumi gulped as she rigidly bowed and walked up to the table she took a look to her father and the bastard smirked…oh he is so going to pay later.
………
'Breakfast was weird,' she paused for a bit as she continued to recall the events of the day, 'Tou-san's friends are even weirder.' She met other overlords aside from the tailed nine who apparently had taking into a venture to the human world. She counted of the people she met, "Pram-nee-san was nice enough but she knows way too much about me, that it was kinda creepy. The shrimp, I think his name was Laharl, was obnoxious and self-centered like Teme back home. But Flonne-chan bashed him a couple of times," she giggled as the fallen angel hit the overlord again and again on the head for being rude. She continued, "Raiden-san was big…very big but he said he doesn't eat humans so…wait a sec how did he know I was going to ask…ARGH way too much info." She said grumbling as more demon lords names and their quirks entered her head.
Leaning over to the railings as she waited her father waved the last of his friends out. The fox walked up to her and smiled at her, "What do you want to know about me kit?" sensing her unasked question through their mind link.
She looked away and very slowly said, "I know you were sincere but I want too know one thing," she turned around and stared him down to portray that she wants nothing more than the truth, "why did you attack Konoha?"
Kyuubi sighed and walked next to her and stroked her head, they were silent…
"N-Never mind Kyuu-tousan let just get some training, shall we?" she said as she picked herself up pushing Kyuubi away and headed for the door.
"It was an order kit," he started making Natsumi freeze in the middle of her walk out. She turned and looked at him questioningly. He bit his lip as if thinking of the right words to say, "It was an order to attack and destroy Konoha, he called me through a demonic summoning ritual and gave the task to me. As I enjoyed carnage and destruction at the time I would have agreed but the targets have not wronged me so the summoners must pay with theirs lives as well…I haven't been able to tell the last part when his partner used those damn abilities on me making me noting more than a puppet, Orochimarudid the summoning while that damnable bastard Uchiha Madara did the controlling" he cursed at the last part, anger and hate boiling up his face.
He stroked his hair back, a sign of his nervousness he continued, "So the rest you know, that is what I apologized of all those years ago kit. I'll understand if you-oof" he was stopped when Natsumi hugged him again.
"You already apologized, Kyuu-tousan," she mumbled out, "I don't care about them I only want to be in your family."
"Then accept this it the mark of the kitsune youkai the hoshi no tama I won't lecture on its powers and liabilities because…well you'll know,"said the mighty kitsune.
She tremblingly reached for the yellow orb, the moment it touched her skin she knew what it can and cannot do. She slipped it into her necklace along with the Shodaime crystal, she looked up o him and smile her true smile once more but this time tears of joy was running down her angelic face as she hugged the mighty fox once more.
Ruffling her hair he let out a sigh of relief, "Well let talk about your training shall we?" he smiled at his kit.
She only nodded in happiness. Jiraiya was watching the scene thinking, 'I hope times like this last for a long while.' He joined the duo to discuss Natsumi's incoming training regime.
End Flashback…
"Kuro-neesan, Shiro-nisan I'm back already you can go now," she waved the overprotective guard captains away. Kyuubi was bad enough but Sanada just had to send these two along,
"Hai, Hime-sama, if you need us just summon us," spoke Kurohana as she vanished in puff of black smoke. Shirogane only nodded in agreement and vanished in the same way.
Calmly they walked trough the gates together, the chunnins at duty widened their eyes and smiled. 'Looks like their back, it was pretty boring here without her,' one thought.
"It's been about two and a half years…" said Jiraiya.
"Yeah…" she replied taking in the refreshing feeling of home but her body couldn't relax. She took a deep breath of relief, waving the pervert goodbye she bolted through the gates. Climbing up the nerarest pole she ran up to the top.
Jiraiya chuckled at the scene, "She sure is cheerful today…"
Natsumi breathe in deeply and shouted, "Look out Konoha Uzumaki Natsumi is back and better than ever!"
A raven masked ANBU was observing from his hidden spot, "Welcome back…Natsumi," he vanished in a blur as if his image was distorted through sheer speed, underneath his mask a small smile grace his lips.
