Ch.11. It's time

Okay folks. It's me again...Yeah...Project "Make them do it" didn't go as well as I had hoped. Oh well now that just means I'll do it myself. I fear that my predictions were not as spot on ad I planned (Remember when I it might be around 18 and 20 one's a short story which I really didn't take as seriously as 'certain people' wanted it to be. That means you Soma. That's right, I didn't care from the very start. This was for shits and giggles. Bet you knew that already didn't you.) I need to make this quick folks as I will be starting some Job hunting and what not and I've been beta reading for some little boy and his shit so I'll be calling this my last hurrah unless shit happens.

I just applied for a job as a drum teacher and sales person at a place called Drums2Go. They managed to file my application the spot after I filled it out. I really hope I get this job as I need some income for when I start school in November for my Ornithology.

Also. Soma you didn't sound so cynical to Kyuubi16(God you nerds come up with the most unoriginal names.) I know he's a pervert but really, Cut him some slack. His 100 + "Lemons" Means that he's dedicated to this site (Unlike your truly. I just have fun on here. I don't ever take this as seriously as MANY nerds do. I'm a closet nerd when it comes to certain things like music and animals Btw. Not an "otaku" in every sense of the word). I've read some of them and normally I'd agree but my opinion if you hasn't changed either. You can say that this is an impartial opinion which I guarantee YOU won't be reading. You'll just skip straight to the story just like everyone else.

So just to get the point across. I..DID..THIS..CAUSE..I FELT..LIKE...IT. I don't merit an real criticism since I was just dicking around. You're probably gonna say "Even so you could have still tried harder." I believe the whole point of "dicking" around is just that. I've no intention of taking this one seriously. If I did I would have gone a whole other reality your rants don't mean shit...That's just it. Hell no one's rants mean shit to me. I don't even put effort in this or any of my rants especially. I just say what ever devious little thought pops in my head. Really this is why I wish you had an account. That way I don't have to waste OUR time typing this on here for the world to see..But it seems your esoteric behavior is only matched by your illegitimate logic. That or I have dementia... Mostly the other part since I'm over it! (..Or am I?...)

Well that's pretty much it.

Everyone..Let us begin shall we?

It was the mourning during the next day at Tsunade's house. Naruto had been training hard with Gaara for almost 4 hours. The others were watching them work as hard as they can with the new found knowledge of Naruto's hidden family secret. It was then when Hinata had taken Karin so the side away from unwanted ears.

"Karin." She spoke haphazardly.

"Yes Hinata..You want something?"

"If Naruto's has that blood inside him..What does that make you?"

"Well I guess you can say I'm a bit like him..I can't become a real vampire but I abilities as a human have been heightened."

"How so?"

"Well I can jump higher, regenerate wounds faster and more strength then an average human being. It's not as good as Naruto's but I can do things that Olympic athletes will never do even with all those years of training."

"I see."

"Are you worried about me and Naruto?"

"Well..With all that's going on. I feel a bit helpless. I wish I was able to be as helpful as everyone else is."

"You are..Look no matter what happens I know that you'll prove yourself."

"Really?"

"Yeah..Come on we need some girl power around here. All the men are getting the credit. I think you and Kurumu are the key to Naruto's true strength since he cares about you. He's also wanting to save those people from Akuha's grasp. If anyone has been the most help so far it was you. You've supported him all the way up to this very point."

"..You're right...But still..I feel that I need to do something."

"Okay then..How about I let you read up in some Transylvanian folklore so you can help him even further. Is that good enough for you?"

"If it'll help...Then yes..I'll do it." Karin grinned showing her eagerness to teach Hinata all she knew. "Alright...Follow me..I'll explain everything alright?" Hinata nodded eagerly. "Okay!" They went inside the house into the library. Outside the house Gaara won the sparring match against the blond hands down. Tsunade had clapped with the sparring over. "That's good Gaara. Naruto your leaving open spot in your stance. Gaara's exploiting those weak points every time. If he is able to do that the enemy will definitely see them as well. We'll stop here for the day. When the breaks over Naruto we'll work on those stances okay?"

"Right auntie." He sighed wiping the sweat from his brow. "You're getting faster with your thrusts Gaara."

"You think so?"

"Yeah."

"I was only able to find point in your stance. I wasn't too fast at all."

"That just means I need to get stronger." Naruto grinned. Tsunade call for him from the inside as well as everybody else. "Alright guys. Time for lunch. Naruto would you be a dear and get some soda from the store?"

"Sure Aunt Tsunade." Kurumu suddenly hatched an idea. "Tsunade is it alright if I went with him?" Before she could answer Mizore got up from her place. "I think I'll go. There's something I need to get from the store anyway." Kurumu steamed, not happy about Mizore's interference.

"Alright Mizore you'll go. Kurumu I actually need to talk to you for a moment. Gaara you as well."

"What about Hinata and Karin?"

"She's talking to Hinata inside the library. I just want to discuss what out next course of action. I think it's time we prepared ourselves. They might be here soon." They all nodded. Kurumu took advantage of this opportunity, Stealing his hand for a moment. "Be careful okay Naruto?"

"Yeah yeah." He blushed, His memories of last night fresh in his head. "Aww he's so cute when he blushes." Kurumu thought to herself.

"We won't be long." Naruto spoke walking out toward the street with Mizore.

"Take care." They waved going inside the house. Naruto had walked a block a few blocks from the store. (A/n: Where I used to live in Miami the store was pretty close to my house. However this is not the case.)

"Something on your mind Mizore?" He noticed her stoic face lost ion thought.

"Yes...Naruto. I just had a little chat with Mei yesterday. It seems they are here."

"What? Are you sure?"

"I am. I think even "she" might even be here Naruto. Akuha Shuzen."

"That means she wants to end this as soon as possible. Did she say anything about Moka or the other sister as well?"

"Now that you mention it. Yes she did say something about Karua and Moka being among he presence..."

"Damn...I don't I can handle those three at once."

"I believe the other two are the least of your problems..Akuha is the one you will have to worry about. After killing Kokoa she will be after you for revenge."

"If that happens I'll be ready. I've been training all this time...With two nights before all hallows eve, it won't be long before she makes her move."

"Granted if she hasn't already. I believe you outta keep in eye out for anyone around you...If she is here everyone in his city would most likely have been turned to her will. We must take precaution."

"What about the people she turned in Japan?"

"They might be here watching your every move as well. You can bet she will use them as leverage to sway you."

"...Hey...I was wondering about the whole changing them back..."

"It is as I said Naruto...You won't bring them back. The only way to save them now is by killing them..By killing Akuha."

"What do you mean?"

"I've read on a fable about Dracula that when he was killed..Those who were taken were killed off as well...Some of them explain them turning human and dying immediately afterward. All the evidence dictates that once she dies. So will all the other who were ever turned."

"Is that right?"

"I'm afraid so...But those were just fables..I can't guarantee that it will work." In the middle of their conversation they made it to the store. Once inside Mizore and Naruto stared at the vast array of knick knacks and assorted groceries for all the purchase.

"I'll be checking something out. Naruto grab what we need and let's get out of here. I don't want us to be here too long."

"Yeah..I can feel it."

"I figured as much." They looked around and sure enough everyone was looked dead at them for about ten seconds before going about their daily lives. Naruto decided to hit the dairy section with his handy push cart reaching for eggs, milk, and butter. Just as he was about to grab the small tub of butter another hand got in his way. "Oh..I'm sorry." A feminine voice spoke. He looked up seeing a beautiful young lady with black hair tied up in a pony tail with a black shirt and black miniskirt. "Were you gonna get that butter?" She asked.

"Oh no miss..Go ahead and get it. I'll just get the other one."

"I couldn't do that. I mean you might want it as much as I do."

"No no no..Go ahead..I like the other one anyway." He grabbed the tub mark "Land - o - lakes" letting the lady take the "Country crock Calcium" tub. "Thank you...Um sorry if I mean to prod but what's your name?"

"I'm Naruto..Naruto Uzumaki?"

"You're Japanese..So am I? I'm Aki Huagami" (A/n:If that even makes sense :P)

"Nice to meet you Aki. Are you visiting here?"

"Yeah..Actually here to meet someone special to my heart."

"Really. You have a boyfriend? "Lucky guy. She's really pretty." He thought.

"I do. Actually you kind of remind me of him. You see he has a little mark on his cheek and blond hair just like you."

"Is this your first time here?"

"Yes. I'm kind of getting used to the people around here."

"Me too. I'm with my family and friends actually?"

"Is there a girlfriend you're here for too?" She asked. He only blushed. "Well.. You see I don't have a girlfriend..yet."

"Oh that's too bad. I think you'd have a girlfriend already."

"Why do say that?"

"Well you're pretty handsome and really sweet!"

"Aww shucks..."

"Hey..walk with me for a bit. I bet if we work together we can get this shopping done a lot faster."

"Okay." She decided to walk beside the boy with her basket with Naruto pushing his cart along.

"So is your boyfriend the only reason you're here."

"Yeah..I really miss him and he's always wanted me to come here and stay with him. But for some reason I can't ever get the chance to see him until now."

"That's sad. If I had a girlfriend I'd make sure I'd be with her 24/7."

"I have an idea Naruto. Since you don't have girlfriend and I'm a bit lonely. Wanna pretend to be my boyfriend?" The sudden suggestion made him jump up a bit. "Well you already have someone."

"Silly it's only pretend. Come on "honey" Let's continue shopping okay?" She winked.

"..Sure." He agreed. She decided to wrap her unoccupied arm around his egging him on to rest his head on hers. "So tell me Naruto. Where are you staying?"

"At my aunts house my sister and my friends.I've haven't been here for to long but long enough to get some things done."

"I can see that. You work out?" She squeezed his arm feelings his ripped bicep. "Well...a bit..yeah!"

"So strong. I think I'm safe in your hands than sweetie." She giggled.

"Aww gee Aki." He blushed."

"Naruto. Do you have someone you like?"

"..Well...I kind of..do...but then again."

"Oh? Is she pretty?"

"She's pretty alright...She's got great long hair, Wonderful personality. She's always been there for me..."

"Oh..I'm kind of jealous."

"You already have someone." Sudden Aki planted her index finger on his mouth. "Right now you're that someone okay Naruto?"

"Yeah...sure.." He grinned. "But why would you be jealous?"

"Well she seems like a really beautiful girl. I'd be jealous since she gets to be around someone like you Naruto. I bet your a real sweetheart."

"Aki..you're embarrassing me a bit." He blushed. She only giggled, kissing his cheek. "But just for this moment I think I can be a bit selfish. Right?" Suddenly Naruto couldn't help but give in to her. "I guess.."

"You know Naruto...What would you do if you had a world all to yourself?"

"Well..I'd have a lot of things I like in that world. All my friends would hang out and there would be no unhappiness."

"Really. That was I was thinking too."

"Wow.."

"I guess great minds think alike eh?"

"I guess they do." After they made it to the checkout counter Aki's hand slowly intertwined with his. "You know..If I ever had a world all to myself..I think I'd want someone like you in it. A world only for the two of us..Where anything is possible..It'd be my ideal world..Don't you think Naruto?"

"..Yeah...Hey...are you going anywhere after this?"

"I am..After this I will be seeing my real boyfriend...I wish I would have spend more time with you Naruto.. You really are a sweet guy."

"I'm sure your boyfriend would be jealous of us.."

"You're probably right.." They paid for their items and separating their hands. "I guess this is goodbye."

"Hey do you think we could contact anytime soon?"

"Oh don't worry about that..I shop here all the time..if you ever come back I'll be here. Same time..Same place..okay?"

"Sure..Goodbye." She leaned in for a soft kiss on his cheek. "See ya around Naruto.." She went outside the exit and out of sight. "Wow..She really was pretty." Sudden he felt a pat on his shoulder. He turned seeing Mizore with a lollipop in her mouth. "Hey..Don't daydream..It's time we left."

"Right.."

"Is something wrong Naruto?" He only looked at the door Aki had just left through before exiting out said door. "Naw..I just made a friend today..that's all."

"..Hmm...You sure your okay upstairs?"

"Yeah I'm fine..I was talking out loud to myself."

"Let's get going..It will be dark soon.

"Right." And they left with the groceries in hand. Outside the market Aki looked on at the two smiling to herself. She decided to walk toward a very tall house with a precarious looking idols on the lawn. She knocked on the door for a short time before she saw a pair a eyes peer in from the shadows.

"Who goes there?"

"It's me sweety. Can I come in?"

" Sure...Give me a second." The door opened revealing a tall and darkly dressed Sasuke with his black suit and suede shoes. Once inside the disguised aki dropped her facade coming into the house as Akuha. "That was a rather pleasant shopping day I had."

"Did you get what you went in for?"

"Yes Sasuke..I did..and when the night comes. We will take what is rightfully ours. Alert everyone..We will move when the moon flies over the sky."

"Of course Akuha. So you will be taking care of Naruto?"

"Yes...You will accompany myself and Moka with Karua and Moka take care of those meddlesome humans who stand in my way. I will not rest until he is mine..Right..father?" She looked back seeing two silhouettes of Minato and Kushina in an almost zombified state.

"Father..Mother..I think we should pay a visit to your son..Don't you think?" Two pairs of red eyes shined in the darkened house. "...Son...My son..." Kushina barely spoke. "Hmhmhhmmm Very well. I'll see to it you will see your son again."

Well that's it guys..There's the little M night Shamylan twist just to tease you. I told you to remember that even in Chapter 7.

And now a little announcement from Moka and Naruto:

Moka: Hello fans. It's me Moka! Today I've come to talk to you about a little science that many people have taken for granted. I know since I'm a subject of constant study.

Naruto: In my case my little friend is really a myth. (Naruto pats his belly.)

Moka:Right. Naruto's fox is actually a diety from a era during B.C Japan. I however am referred to as a cryptid. A creature that science refuses to accept. If you don't know what a cryptid is then I'll let Naruto explain.

Naruto: Cryptids are animals that appears only in books and people testimonials. The most famous crytids are vampire. Werewolves, Presumably extinct animals like the Devil dragon or Megalania priscus. It's a really big version of the Komodo dragon said to be over 30 feet long and almost weighing 2 tons. Another one is the Japanese smake Tsuchinoko. The snake with a tiny tail and enormous body and head.

Moka:The study of these creatures is known as cryptozoology. They spend their whole lives trying to prove these animals are among us and not just in pictures or videos.

Naruto: Right now more and more cryptid sightings are being shown all over the world. One such case would be the jersey devil. A "demon" That was seen around certain parts of the New England and particular in the New jersey area.

Moka: Another example is the Loch ness monster thought to be an extinct pleisosaur that may have survived the meteor that wiped out off of the dinosaurs. The missing link is also a crytid in the Americas. Some of you know it as Big foot. Others Sasquatch.

Naruto: The world is full of mysteries that humans are never able to proof. We live in a slowly evolving world that some day will we learn all about. But until then there will always be things we won't explain like Moka.

Moka:Right...So untill Next time.

Naruto: Ch.12 I'll get you my pretty!

Moka and Naruto: See ya next time ^ ^. \m/
