Ch 12

This is rated M right?

NARUTO

There it was, an image had returned to me, a surprisingly disturbing image before I myself started my long dash towards the area. The roofs were easy to navigate through, nothing hindered my way as I leapt through the building and hopped onto the next ones, all in hopes of reaching the children in time.

It didn't take long until another memory appeared in my mind, and another, what worried me was how these two men were defeating my clones so easily, granted that most normal people would have a hard time with them now.

As the visions returned to me, I couldn't help but feel excited, my hand trembled to meet these people, the strength and skill, I've never encountered it before for a human being.

By the time I made progress and found the building roof over the area, I knew I was down to my last clone before that too disappeared and I was left staring down below the surface, watching as a worn out Harry had managed to sit next to the sleeping form of the child Hermione.

The two attackers in question didn't even seem worn out as they approached the children before I decided to make an appearance.

My body acted on its own as I went falling to the ground, It was pretty high up but I managed it, and I was glad that it brought a bit of intimidation to the two would be attackers as the tiles on the floor actually cracked once I landed on my two feet.

Eyes stared at me; the one with brown spiky hair seemed to have rolled his eyes before sighing for a second.

"Oh come on, another one wizard? This is a bit pathetic."

Quiet as I observed them until spiky couldn't contain it and went full throttle on me. It amazed me how fast he was, maybe as bit as fast as a ninja in my world but still, I saw it. His hand stretched out, the forefingers shooting towards my chest until I reached out and grabbed it. With a tiny grunt, I again was impressed with the strength as I had to pump chakra into my hand to stop the attack.

They were surprised, the eyes reflected it as my palm shot forward and slammed against Spiky's chest, sending him slamming back towards the ground.

"I warned you,"

I cursed though, because I wasn't wearing my portable wrist kunai extractor, a poor name, I know, but it was effective. It was a device I created for this world while studying a few mechanics of their machines, but basically they were wrist bands that held a summoning seal into them, and I stored countless numbers of kunais into them for easy access with just a snap of the wrist and chakra usage, the handle would appear and a little switch slapped the handle into my hands, but now, I have to do it the other way.

Reaching into my pocket, I was suddenly rushed by the other attacker, it was surprising, especially since he was way faster than the other attacker, and I had to stop what I was doing to guard against it.

The punch almost landed as I blocked it from mid air, until he pulled back into some sort of blocking stance with his two arms hiding his face until he continued his jabs.

"Like I'll let you take out that wand of yours now,"

The dark haired person rushed with a quick thrust of his fist, he continued to jab his hand forward, his back was slouched as he swerved from left to right, a sort of peculiar stance that was a bit new to me.

The exchange of punches was impressive, I dodged and countered but he would swerve and jab a lightning fast punch my way, one that actually nicked me to the sides before I ducked and sweep kicked his feet.

I watched him jump in the air, an unnatural jump that was higher than any human being in this place could perform until he landed on the other side.

I've never faced anyone this strong here before, it was all so exciting that I actually wanted the fight to linger on; the feral grin on my face must have surprised him, because I just saw his face twitch momentarily. It's been so long that I've fought someone with a decent amount of speed and with strength to back it up that I wondered if there would be more of them like it.

Too distracted that I didn't sense the impending attack from behind, I had forgotten about Spiky for a moment to let him have one cheap shot against me…and it was cheap, and hard.

The kick slammed against my chest, the power behind it was enough to put any small fry ninja to shame as I actually lost my breath for a moment.

"That'll be the day when I get defeated by a damned wizard," he exhaled as I finally got a glimpse of his face. Spiky's was on the verge of cracking, no literally, there were enough cracks to make me wonder if his face was made out of cement, but that didn't stop. There was a radiation of anger that was released from him, his eyes, the red eyes grew brighter as I saw two canine fangs elongate in the two front teeth and the two bottom teeth that it suddenly occurred to me, even as I didn't block the inhumanly punch against my chest that sent me slamming into the wall of a building, and even as he rained his punches on me, quicker than ever until I felt the wall behind me give out and I went falling in…I realized, this person, wasn't human.

I continued to lay there in the fallen debris of the wall, listening to the conversation as I felt my body healing already.

"Damn, was that really a wizard Darius? I almost transformed just to defeat that ass."

There was a panting noise coming from Spiky; so the smoothed dark haired one must be Darius, but who was this person.

"I am not sure,"

There were noises of them moving as I slowly picked myself up, my chakra growing erratic and my body growing excited. For once, I didn't need to cut back, I can use my full strength, but it's just been so long, I just couldn't help but grin in anticipation.

"Vince, you're still recently turned, your fighting was sloppy, it didn't even kill him."

"No way, that person just ain't human or a wizard if he survived that."

"Yeah, I know, but…"

Their voices were cut as the one I considered Darius, stared at me, his eyes were shocked while Spiky, known as Vince, turned around and equally grew shocked at my presence.

I must have looked feral, especially with the tattered clothes I had received from the fallen wall, or the way I was exerting out my chakra.

When my hand reached to my cheek, and I wiped a spot of blood, I spoke out to them

"Now, it's my turn."

My legs kicked forward, the chakra filled my body as it mixed with the little energy given by the demon Kyuubi.

Vince was my first target, I appeared in front, and before he attacked, I disappeared in smoke using my technique and appeared behind him before grabbing the back neck of his throat. Light shined on my right hand as I pointed it directly behind its back.

"Close encounter, rasengan," I spoke out as the orb of light formed against his skin, twisting and burning before I pressed it again with more chakra and it exploded against his back, sending him flying through a wall and falling lifeless to the debris filled ground.

Vince did yell in pain before hitting that wall, but before that, I turned my attention to Darius. Quickly I ran forward, he took up that interesting stance again before I leapt in the air and landed at the side wall, my feet stuck to it as I ran up the roof and jumped high in the air.

I knew he was shocked, I would see it as I fell upon him, spinning out with one leg forward, "Uzumaki style, winding kick!"

The momentum gathered from the spin, it had its effect as my leg slammed against his head, knocking him to the floor. I grabbed him again and lifted him up to face me, "no, you're not done yet, fight me, c'mon."

I threw him to a wall as I saw his body shiver…That was weird, until he looked at me again with those red eyes; it glowed as he became more feral and pounced towards me. I managed to grab his arms as his teeth tried to snap against my face, like some sort of animal.

'What the hell is going on?' I had to question, it was as if he was trying to take a bite out of me, no longer was he calm or collected, but bestial, in a way that it sort of reminded me of that werewolf I had killed way back when.

Not wanting to get bitten, my knee shot up and slammed into his gut before a chakra laced fist formed in my right hand and I slammed it at the thing's jaw.

*Crunch* the last sound I heard before the body went flying towards the wall, slamming against it, causing a dent with cracks to the sides appearing.

He didn't move before I let down my guard and sighed, 'I think I may have killed them,' I thought to myself as I turned back to the children. They stared wide eyes at me, a sort of amazed but caution look that I sort of felt bad and I must have showed it since I turned back around and scratched the back of my head.

"Harry, Hermione, are you two alright?"

"Y-yeah, just a little tired but, I'm alright sensei."

"Yes Mr. Naruto, I'm fine b-but, where are my parents?"

I tried to calm my hands after the fight before answering the girl, "I'll take you to them, besides, I was hired to protect you right?" I turned to face them, giving them the best smile I can do before nodding to my protégé, Harry, "and you did good work too Harry, I know you protected her, didn't you?"

He just smiled in response before nodding to me.

The sound of rocks crumbling drew my attention as I stared back at the body of Darius. It actually moved, the body removing itself from place as I stared at it in shock.

"There's no way," my voice was just a whisper until I saw his face; the smashed jaw was unaligned as he placed a hand over it and popped it back to place.

His eyes were menacing, his face cracking just like Vince back then…which reminded me.

I stared at the other wall, the broken down one before spotting a large shadowed shape of some sort of creature I wouldn't describe…the word 'demon' popped through my head as I continued to stare onto the deep, blood red glowing eyes.

"So, you aren't human at all," I couldn't help but grin as I felt Kyuubi's chakra tingle within its seal on my belly, "this is new, ready for the next round?"

Before we could leap and start this battle, I watched as they both stopped, just stopped in place before the cracks disappeared and their eyes dimmed somewhat. The creature in the large hole in the wall disappeared, the shape returning back to the human Vince before he stepped out of the shadow and walked towards Darius. Both of them silent, but their eyes staring back at me with utmost hate.

"Hmm, I leave you two alone and this is what happens?"

It was a new voice, feminine, exotic, and it tickled my ears. I searched for the sound before I felt a hand on my cheek. Quickly, my hand reacted, batting it away before she appeared in front of the two creatures.

I had to double take when I saw her. Her eyes were the same blood colored red, but they were more vibrant, more powerful. Her hair was long and dark, and with the way it shined and waved, I knew she had taken good care of it, maybe with some rich expensive shampoo of sorts. I briefly sniffed the air, 'yup, rich shampoo,' but it did blend in with that perfume smell of something sweet like candy.

The paleness of her skin and the darkness of her hair with the bloody red lipstick, she was a ghost, or she was as close as looking like a pale ghost beauty. A gorgeous woman who only looked to be nineteen or in her twenties while wearing a smooth one piece red dress that stretched all the way down to her knees, there was a slit to the side of her dress which should allow her free movement of her legs, and with her matching red heels, I wondered how was she able to move at all, but the strange thing about this was, the two things behind her were listening to her as if she was their boss.

"Lady Bianca, please, let me kill this filthy cow who has insulted us,"

'Cow?' I questioned as Vince had spoken while glaring daggers at me, but I welcomed it, while taunting him with my smile and as I glanced at Darius, I could see he had calmed down a bit, back to his smooth self and quiet as ever.

"Bite your tongue Vince, and don't speak to me again until after this day is over," her eyes snapped at him, narrowing at the spiky haired boy that I had a little feeling of satisfaction.

"Besides, this human isn't a wizard, now is he?" she glanced back at me, and I debated whether I should answer that question she in-avertedly sent my way.

"My question first, lady, but, what are you?"

My question surprised her, really surprised her. Her eyes widened slightly before watching me curiously.

"You mean to tell me, you can go toe to toe with the likes like us and you don't even know what we are?"

That's about it; I nodded as a response as she actually cracked a smile.

"First then human," she walked towards me, watching me as I felt my-self start to feel a bit embarrassed, I mean, she was a gorgeous woman doing what one would call, 'checking me out', sort of thing…

"What are you?"

"Me, I'm just a plain old ninja new to this kind of world, and so far," I narrowed my eyes at her, letting her know that I wasn't interested in any advance, especially from the likes of her, "it seems it can be very dangerous."

"Mmm," she smiled while blinking her eyes at me, "a ninja you say?" her smile rose as her lips slightly opened and I could tell, she was amused.

"Forgive me, my manners," she walked up to me until she was an arms-length away and offered her hand, "introduction is always in order, my name is Lady Bianca, no last name if you're wondering, and who might you be?"

I watched the hand for a bit, not really sure what she wanted me to do before I took it and since it was outstretched with the back hand facing upwards, I changed it to a regular handshake that I had seen people do in businesses…it seemed like I disappointed her because once I did that, she started to frown.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, so tell me how you are in command of those two," I pointed at the two in the back as a little noise of amusement exited from my mouth, "fine fellows over there?"

"That is something I cannot tell you, but just know that they belong to me, that is all."

"Uh, huh, then what are you exactly?"

"Me, I'm just a plain old blood vampire living in this world…well, sort of living," she cracked another smile as I couldn't help but smile at the similar response.

"Vampire?" I questioned as the word seemed so foreign to me. I noticed the orange sun of the day before I remembered I still needed to return the children.

She must have noticed it as she stared behind me at the children, then again, her eyes widened slightly again as well.

"Oh, young Potter, what an interesting, surprise," she signaled for the boy to come forward but as I glanced at Harry, I knew he was hesitant, she frowned before shaking her head, "you must forgive my subordinates, they sometimes act as animals," she glanced back at them before smiling a dazzling smile back at the boy, "and it is up to me to make them remember that we are beyond that. So, forgive me, I'll punish them severely for it."

Harry just nodded but didn't say another word, his body was still tense, meaning, he was on guard before I decided this night was officially over.

"That was fun if you asked me," I spoke to them, watching as they stared at me with surprise, "we should spar again, I need to train with someone who can match my speed and strength once in a while."

What on earth possessed me to say that, I still don't know, but my grin was wide as well as I thought back to my home. I loved training, and knowing now there were others with decent strength about, it was all pretty interesting.

"You are very peculiar Sir Naruto," I watched as she approached me again before placing a hand on my shoulder.

It was a slight flinch that I let out before I realized that I was slightly bleeding. It would go away in a bit but still, I shouldn't have flinched. She moved her hand away and I can see it had a small drop of blood in it, but before I could offer to wipe it…she placed it in her mouth.

'Holy Kami,' my mouth opened slightly as I remembered that crazy purple haired Jounin from when I was taking that Chuunin exam in my world before I saw her body slightly shake and her eyes glowed once more.

"Oh my," it sounded out more like a moan as her hands reached her cheek and I actually saw her blush. The two in the back seemed shaken up afterwards before she concentrated her gaze on me and I slowly backed away.

"You, you're a lot younger than you look, and quite powerful as well," she moved closer, her eyes showed she wanted something from me, or maybe, she was just going to pounce on my body, "I wish to get to know you better, Sir Uzumaki, if you'll let me, I'll explain more on what we are, how about," she snapped a hand in the air as a card appeared out of nowhere.

Impressive trick if I do say so myself before she handed it to me.

"How about over dinner, just call me whenever you want more information."

"Erm," I took the card and saw the name 'Bianca' written in fancy letterings with a number at the bottom before I looked up again and nearly fell back as her face was inches away from mine, "ok, I'll think about it, but really I'll just research on vampires and find the information myself."

Suddenly, she stepped back, shaking her head and giving me a disappointed look, "it is better if you get it from the source itself, Sir Uzumaki, because human information can be misleading," her eyes stared into mine and I found her to be serious, "I'll tell you now, there are three types of vampires in this world, three types of information that the humans and those so called high and mighty wizards, don't even try to distinct between, even though there is a big distinction."

"Really?"

She nodded before turning around, "we are blood vampires, don't forget it, and if you want the other info well," she smiled again before winking at me, "call me," they soon started walking the other way, deeper into the alley before disappearing out of view.

I just sighed in return and pocketed the card; I might give her a call if I ever needed more info.

But before that, I took a look at the two children, "let's get you home."

For the rest of the walk, I had carried Hermione while I created a clone to help Harry. I took my way, up the roofs while watching as Hermione seemed so scared the way I travelled. She held my arm tight, along with my coat as I made my way through the place.

The sun was almost fully down until I found them again, that lady McGonagall had a stick out with the end glowing red. She was at a crossroads from that white bank filled with goblins earlier, and in front of the path headed towards the dark alley I had just exited from.

She cried hard, Hermione, when I gave her back to her family. They were grateful, hugging the child closely, as if afraid to lose her again before I looked at Harry and spoke.

"Let's go home now."

He nodded, as if he was tired for the day already, "yeah."

"Well now, ,"

That voice belonged to that old lady as I watched her. Her lips was pursed but she did have that hint of gratitude in her eyes as she gave a brief nod to her head at me, "I may have miss-judged you, I am grateful for what you have done, for the children."

In response, I shrugged, "just doing my job," I told her which seemed to have put her out before I went to the Grangers and whispered to them.

"Remember, I am also here for consultation just in case you need some advice."

"Yeah," it was Harold who nodded while staring at me with grateful eyes, "but we've decided, we're going to decline sending our daughter to this place."

"Mr. and Mrs. Granger," the frantic voice belonged to McGonagall as she had overheard their decision, "please, I beg of you to reconsider, Hogwarts is a highly protected school, no harm will befall to young Hermione."

Jane Granger, the fabulous woman that held on to her daughter shook her head as her eyes still contained traces of tears, "No, I cannot handle it if I lose my Hermione, this place, it's too dangerous, and I'd rather not deal with worrying if I will lose my daughter to some, some creature in a dark alley."

Her hair was in disarray as she said it before she turned around and started heading out with Harold, "so good evening, please, we just want to go home."

"B-but,"

I could see that the professor didn't know what to say, she really didn't want them to leave, and me, I had mixed feelings of my own.

"Come Harry, lets go" I said as we followed the Grangers and I offered to open the way for them, in which, they were grateful for.

"Wait, Stop Mr. Potter, I understand the Grangers but Mr. Uzumaki, you are not the guardian of Harry, where are you taking him?"

I slightly glanced back at her before replying smoothly, "you know how easy it will be for me to transfer guardianship over Harry to me, from that bunch you call family, pretty easy, and if you want to make something out of this, then maybe I will claim custody of Harry. Tell that to whoever had dropped the Hero of the Wizarding world to a slump like that place."

That was all I needed to say before we left without looking back. Through the same path we took, I opened the wall and let the Grangers out first before closing it. The Grangers thank me again and were pretty forceful on the payment, in which I told them we'll discuss it some other time; I just wanted them to get home safely with their daughter.

"Naruto, am I still going to Hogwarts?"

Young Harry asked me before I nodded and smiled down at him, "of course you are, it just means that I have to teach you more than one technique sooner than later."

There was a grin on his face, something that I would like to think he was picking up from me before I lifted him up to my back and casted a little illusion over us.

"Say," I glanced at Harry who stared at me curiously, "whatever happened to my hat?"

He didn't answer and we just laughed on our way home…

The night air was filled with the buzzing of moans in one certain black limo as one Vampire known as Bianca sat boringly in the back of the leathery seat. Her two subordinates were in front of her, but they were not alone.

A lady, not too young and not too old lay moaning in delight as Vince had sunk his teeth on her neck. A little drip of blood dripped down from her neck but to the woman, her cries of ecstasy lingered on before he stopped and withdrew from his position. The woman had her eyes closed before leaning against the wall of the limo, panting heavily as Vince wiped his blood stained lips.

"Damn, a ninja, you have got to be shitting me. I've never heard of a ninja like him before, especially with magic like that?"

The one who sat next to him drank from a pristine, glass, cup, a thick red substance clear as day as he took a sip before staring right back at the liquid.

"To think, a human able to match our strength, this is bad if that man teaches the wizards how to move like him…this will be bad for us all."

"He isn't completely human."

They snapped their heads to their leader Bianca as she stared out her window. She had a faraway look on her face as the two sitting in front of her shifted nervously.

"Are you, umm," Vince was the first one to speak as he traded looks with Darius, "ok?"

She snapped her head to him as he sat back stiffly.

"I thought I told you not to speak to me?" her voice was dangerous as he nodded before going silent.

"Lady Bianca, what did you mean when you said, he wasn't completely human?"

There it was again, her eyes stared out the window once more, that far away look as her lips curved upwards, "his blood, there is a sort of demonic taste to it, something strong and powerful," she licked her lips as they saw her body trembling, "I want more of it."

Darius watched her, saw the untouched drink of blood cooling in the ice box next to her before carefully choosing his words, "but my Lady, if he teaches the wizards how to move like that, then we would all be in trouble, he is a dangerous person that needs to be eliminated."

"Mmm, that maybe be, but, I want to play with him for just a bit, we'll see what he does and hopefully," she smiled a deviant smile as she sighed out loud, shocking the two even more as she actually closed her eyes and another blush appeared, "hopefully he calls soon."

She soon let out a crisp laughter that filled the limo as the car ride continued to consist of awkward subordinates and one ecstatic leader through the rest of the trip…

Naruto

Late at night I had arrived home after dropping Harry to his 'Home' away from home. I was about to wash up when I had received a call, an interesting call from the Grangers. Consultation, they needed my advice on the matter, and they explained to me what Hermione saw what Harry was capable of.

…They asked me something that I had to think about…

"Hermione really wants to go to Hogwarts, and you are the only one we know who has a sort of talent for these things," it was the voice of Harold, the father of the child.

I had to agree with them, people are more trusting when they pay to hire a person to do the job, but I can add that it also had something to do with my loveable personality and great characteristic when it comes to children…yeah…

"Can you please…educate her before she enters Hogwarts, I don't know anything else I can do to help her…"

"Mr. Granger," I spoke to him as an idea formed in my mind at having another student, "we only have two months of preparations, two months for me to teach your daughter, are you ok with the thought that she would have to come here, every day, so as not to mess up her training?"

"Every day?" his voice questioned with hesitancy but I couldn't hide the truth, if she wanted to catch up to Harry, I needed every day to train her.

"Yes, everyday."

A long break before I heard a heavy sigh on the other line, "ok," he finally said, "just promise me, she'll get the education she needs to protect herself, promise me that I can trust you Mr. Uzumaki, please."

"Harold, it's a promise, and please…call me Naruto."
