Hi guys Chapter Twelve here :-) Enjoy :-)
Disclaimer: Same as before.
WARNING: SAME AS THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS
Drip, Drip, Drip was the only sound that filled Naruto's ears, his body doubled over crying into his hands. His heart felt so empty, the first time ever he allowed someone into his guarded heart. The warmth and joy he brought him.
"W-w-why Kiba? Why did you have to leave me?" The blond cried out, his tears unchecked falling like the rain. He felt anothers presence looking at the newcomer through his crying eyes. There stood infront of him was the Kyuubi, her eyes full of sadness kneeling infront of her host. Tears silently trailing down her porcelain cheeks, she gently placed a hand on his right cheek wiping the cascading tears away. He launched himself forward into her chest, wrapping his arms around her as if she was his only life line.
"Ohh, Naruto." she whispered, stroking his back as he continued to cry into her chest. Finding the position they were in uncomfortable, she transport them to a sofa. The whiskered teen was now sitting on her lap, arms around her slender shoulders. Kyuubi rubbing his back, while whispering soothing words to try and ease her kits heartache.
"Why Kyu? Why does it hurt soo much?" he asked inbetween his crying. She pondered the question for a few seconds before answering;
"It hurts because you've just lost the person you love above all else."
"I never got to say those three words to him and now I'll never will. It still hurts Kyuubi, please take the pain away. Please!" he begged, a fresh set of tears streamed down, pulling himself closer to the warm body.
Kyuubi was holding back the anger she felt against the humans who would cause her kit heartache. The sound of crying died down, she looked at her kit fast asleep in her arms. Gracefully she rose of the sofa, carrying the sleeping blond bridal style to a king size bed which formed out white mist. It brought back memories where she would do this nearly every other night when he was younger. When she reached the bed with a mere flick of a figure the quilt cover and sheets moved, so she could place the slumbering teen to bed without waking him. Once he was settled she drew the bedding over him, gently kissing him on the forehead whispering;
"Don't worry my kit I will make the pain go away. They are going to pay with their lives." one last look at the sleeping blond she disappeared.
Fires were raging people trying but failing to retain them, medics franticly trying to save those who were injured in the blast. Chiyako continued to hold the lifeless body of Kiba, tears still falling freely, Okahito was comforting her trying to calm her down. A shiver rippled down his back, the sudden change in the air alerted the Chūnin. An evil presence lingered in the air, something worst than death itself. A massive explosion of K.I flooded the area, followed by a massive spike in chakra. Everyone collapsed on the floor, gasping for air like fish out off water. Okahito managed to turn to the source of the evil power. There standing in the middle of it all was Naruto; His blank eyes void of any life, his whisker marks becoming more defined and his hands growing slender. The chakra surrounding him raged like a wild fire, the pier started to buckle under the intensity of the chakra.
Another explosion of chakra engulfed the blond concealing him completely. Minutes past until the chakra disappeared leaving in it's place a women.
Her fiery red hair flying around behind her. Porcelain cheeks and blazing crimson eyes. Her armour she was red and black, similar to that of what her host was wearing. A katana strapped to her back, along her slender waist rested ten small throwing knives.
The K.I died down a lot but was still there, walking towards the ninja infront of her. Both tensed when she was a few feet away. Noticing the change in their behaviour she proceeded but readying herself if they decide to attack her.
"I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to say goodbye to the person who held my kits heart." she stated softly, both of them relaxed some what but not much considering they are face to face with the Kyuubi herself.
Kneeling beside the fallen boy, moving his bangs out of his face planting a gently kiss on his forehead.
"I'm sorry I never got to know you better Kiba Inuzuka. I couldn't of ask for a better person to love my kit than you. And I know that he loved you with all his heart but didn't know it. Goodbye Kiba."
Her voice remained level, but her eyes betrayed her feelings. Meeting the eyes of the two Chūnin infront of her.
"Leave this place. I have things to destroy and people to kill. Go now before they kill you." her tone left no argument, she now faced the soldiers getting ready to fight her. When the Chūnin left, Kyuubi started to roll her head, sound of bones clicking, doing her fingers all at once.
"Ohh, it's good to be doing this again." drawing her katana out, then she disappeared then reappeared infront of the soldiers slicing the first few in a blink of an eye. More fell at her feet offering little resistance to her attacks. Moving skillfully around the devastation the premature detonation caused, workers tried to flee from her but to prevail. Anyone she came across she killed, all that could be heard was the stabbing and slicing of flesh, the snapping of bones. Blood coating the pier some making it in the surrounding water. The last worker was on his knees begging not to be killed, Crimson eyes showing no emotion. With a swing of her blade the head rolled off the body which collapsed backwards, blood started to pump out freely.
Walking towards the fortress, she was greeted by more soldiers, each one ready to fight her. Getting into a battle stance she started to walk towards them, with no fear. A battlecry erupted from their mouths as the charged at her.
'Finally it seems that I might get a challenge out of this place'
Taking a deep breath she raced towards them, meeting them half way the sound of metal striking metal. Her movements began to become defensive, as more soldiers attacked her. Parring every blow efficiently, an opening presented itself so she took it. Building up chakra, she unleashed it onto the men and women infront of her, casting them aside like leaves in the wind. A man came running towards her shouting his head off, his blade already extended hoping to impale her. Turning her body to the side, knocking the extended blade down causing the man to trip. As he went pass her, she snapped his neck with such force that his head almost did a full 360 degree turn. Sliding the katana back into it's sheath, taking one last look around she disappeared.
The General never expected the enemy to be this well prepared to attack his fortress. He felt the explosion from the docks, watching the fire spread while people tried to contain it. The one thing what made his skin crawl and sending a shiver down his spine, was the deadliness of the K.I. He has only ever felt that sort of K.I from his master when she was furious. Shaking his head when his master last lost it, the poor sod was killed most painfully and slowly by her hand. Oh she was one of the most powerfullest being on the planet, that was until that day where she was stripped of her powers. And we were left in limbo, never ageing, our powers stripped from us. His trail of thought was interrupted when a female wearing the armour for the elites came crashing in panting as if she ran there.
"What is it?" he asked while watching her catch her breath. Straightening up she looked at him;
"Were under attack by a lone person if you can call her that." she replied.
"What do you mean:'If you can call her that'?" he demanded walking up to her, his eyes trying to decipher what she meant. Fear was present in her blue eyes.
"She fights like a demon, her eyes. Her eyes I can't seem to shake them from my mind. Blazing red a black slit for an iris." the words echoed through the room. He walked over to the window looking out over the courtyard, his eyes focusing on a fight which was happening in the center. A red haired female cutting down everyone of his soldiers as if they training dummies, the last one fell at her feet.
She sensed she was being watched, so turning her head, her eyes locked with hazel ones. The General blinked, when he opened his eyes red ones were staring straight at him. Jumping back knocking into his desk, it was true the rumours. She was still alive, still as beautiful and deadly as she was when he last saw her.
The blue eyed female started to make her way out of the room, that was until a throwing knife punctured her neck. Collapsing on the floor, trying to breath in air, more and more blood filled her lungs. Coughing and splattering her blue eyes full off fear about death, her last wet breath left her lips.
"You haven't aged a day General." stated Kyuubi smiling at the man causally sitting on the window seal.
"Nor have you Kyuubi. Well I can't age because you put us in limbo." snapped the General. Her chakra spiked, her face hardened.
"Where is your master General?"
"I haven't seen her for awhile." he replied effortlessly while keeping eye contact with her. A chuckle passed her lips, closing her eyes while shaking her head. The General backed away slowly, stepping over the body in the door way. Just as the turned he was pinned to the wall out in the corridor adjacent to his office, crimson fox eyes burning into his hazel ones.
"Do you take me for a fool? I know you have seen her, so I ask one more time. Where is she?" her words stabbing him with pain and fear. Walls surrounding them started crack under the pressure of her chakra. He remained silent even under the pressure of her chakra and K.I which was flooding off her like a waterfall.
'Well, he certainly has improved over the years to resist K.I. No matter there are other ways off getting what I want.'
"Well I'm impressed you can withstand my K.I. But no matter I can get what I want out off you another way." A smirk grew across her pale cheeks her once crimson eyes grew black as an endless pit. The Generals body started to shake, his eyes rolled back leaving only his eye ball visible. Thirty seconds flew by before her eyes returned back to normal, releasing her grip he slip to the floor. Taking out a scroll she placed him in it and made a mental not to tell her kit.
Deciding it was time for her to leave and continue her killing spree, running into the office and jumping down into the courtyard. The moment her feet touched the ground;
BOOM
The explosions where coming from the castle itself, more and more explosions erupted around the fortress. Massive chunks off the castle were being blown away as if they weighed nothing, the ground beneath her shock. Running across the yard to the encampment weaving in and out of the flying debris. The ground exploded beneath her feet, propelling her in he air along with a huge chunk of the courtyard. As the saying goes 'What goes up must come down', and just like the saying she did. Hitting the floor like a rock in water, she shakily got up before falling back now in the mud.
'I haven't felt like this in ages. The last time I couldn't walk properly was when I got completely smashed.'
Travelling through the woods at a fast pace, jumping from one branch to another. Jiraiya was wrapped up in his own mind when a deadly wave of K.I hit him like a bulldozer. Loosing his footing, he tumbled to the ground but managed to land safely. An evil feeling mixed with they air around him, he knew this feeling. The Kyuubi's chakra, something must of happen for him to loose it like he has. He needed to get there before it got out of control and the boy was too far gone to be brought back. Launching himself back into the trees, he tree hopped faster than his previous pace. Minutes passed the Sannin, all he could think about was the state his godson was in. A movement could his eye, it was heading in his direction. Deciding to investigate he ran directly at the movement. A few more minutes past until he was right on top of them. In a small clearing were three people in two different types of armour, the two in the same uniform were talking quietly while the other one was resting on the ground. Stealthily moving closer he sensed their chakras, they were similar to Naruto's but different in their own way. Staying in his hiding spot he listened to the conversation;
"We can't just leave him there. What happens if he turns back to normal? They will slaughter him like a animal." argued the female the man stood there shaking his head.
"We had to leave and you know why." he softly stated looking at the still body. It only took Jiraiya a second to realise that the body on the ground was Kiba.
'It makes sense now why the sudden explosion of chakra and K.I.'
"You can come out Master Jiraiya, we know you are there." called the male. Emerging from his hiding place he walked over to the pair standing.
"What happened?" asked the toad sage seriously, looking between one Chūnin to the other.
"Everything was going smoothly. Me and Kiba were on our last bomb, which we placed in a load of creates. We set the bomb to go off in twelve minutes but it went off in twelve seconds. We were both sent flying in the opposite direction. When I came to I found him a few feet from me, but he wasn't moving..." fresh tears started to fall, shaking her head to indicate she couldn't continue so Okahito finished her story off.
"... me and Naruto found them at the furthest point of the dock, I ran ahead while Naruto was rooted to the spot staring at Kiba. Then that's when he snapped." he finished noticing the Sannin looking at him seriously.
"How many tails?" he asked looking at them, They shared a look between eachother before saying;
"There were no tails."
"But that chakra and K.I always happen when he gets his demon cloak." stated the sage.
"Like we said there were no tails. But chakra did surround him and changed." explained Chiyako
"Changed into what?"
"Kyuubi herself. In human form." answered the blued lip Chūnin. Jiraiya started to think fast, formulating a plan to redo the seal.
"The seal isn't broken master Jiraiya if that's what your worried about. She has only so much access to her full strength. And Naruto can reclaim control anytime he wants, but I don't think he will." softly stated Okahito, sadness washing over his body.
The Sannin walked over to the brunette, gently removing the helmet which covered his markings.
"You would have had mine and Tsunade's approval for dating the knucklehead of a godson." quietly stated the sage, giving the brunette one last look over before placing the helmet back on his head. Getting up something caught his eye, he passed it off as his imagination but then it happened again. His eye's widen forming a series of quick hand seals, slamming his hand down on the ground shouting;
"Summoning Jutsu!"
A plum of smoke appeared where his hand was, as the smoke cleared a toad sat next to Jiraiya.
"What do you want Master Jiraiya?" he asked him rudely.
"Take the boy and these two to the Hokage immediately do you understand?" he said with authority. The toad just nodded his head carefully picking up the brunette turning to the Chūnin who got the idea. In a puff of smoke they were gone, leaving Jiraiya to deal with Naruto.
Debris was still raining down all around the fortress (what was left of it anyway). Getting up slowly, Kyuubi stood for a bit trying to regain her balance. Once she knew she was stable, she started to move into the encampment. Tents were on fire, bloodied bodies scattered all over the place. The smell of sulphur, and burning corpses filled her nostrils. Now she was in the middle of the camp, looking around she noticed that soldiers started to emerge from hiding places weapons drawn. She counted forty in total, she knew she wouldn't be able to win against those odds not in her current condition.
So she stood there building every last bit of her chakra, concentrating on building it up and moulding it into what she wanted. The ground under her started to warp as if a massive weight was being dropped on it from a great height.
Not wasting a second longer they charged at her weapons ready to kill her. The sound of thundering footsteps came towards her in all directions. Just as one soldier was about to strike her, her eyes flew open and she unleashed her chakra. It disintegrated the soldiers and continued its path outwards spreading all along the ground setting alight everything it came across in its path.
Kyuubi stood among the flames and the remnants of the camp surrounding her. She has reached her limit of she could do while still sealed. Sounds of crunching echoed behind her, turning to face the noises she was surprised to see the Toad Sage walking up to her. He looked at her, for the first time he saw the Kyuubi in her human form.
"Don't worry Jiraiya, I'm am returning to my prison. But a word of caution, my kit has already suffered greatly this day. Give him time to grieve for the loss of Kiba." asked Kyuubi before finally allowing Naruto's body to return to normal. His body swaying until he fell to the floor, the older man catching him before he hit the floor. While picking him up, he surveyed the devastation she caused. Pieces of debris were still alight, pillars of black smoke rose into the sky. Making sure the blond was secure he shunshin them back home.
The fire all but died out, the wind sweeping across the scorched earth lifting up ash and smoke. Some fire still raged in the remains of the fortress, a figure in a black kimono with white herins embroidered on it. Rage filled the person as her black eyes took in her surroundings. Her plans were starting to come undone, she knew who did it. Another gust of wind picked up more ash and smoke, when it started to settle the figure was no longer there.
