Sorry this took so long, ended up in the hospital…I'm fine now, and I'm back to my computer! (finally)
Thanks to my incredible beta: Kaiji Maeda Sama
Beta's Note: I am extremely glad that you are back and that you are okay, in a sense. I would have hated to lose such a great friend.
Enjoy~!
"Hurry up with the damn candles Kiba!" Called a voice.
'Damn, that voice sounds familiar.' Kyuubi slowly tried to open his eyes. 'SHIT! My head feels like it has been split in half!'
"I'm trying man, but there's too much wind! I can't get them to light!" Shouted a second voice.
"Would you stop shouting?" Groaned Kyuubi. "My head is killing me!"
Suddenly, a weight compressed his chest, and a knife was pushed against his throat. "You give us back Naruto!" This was the first voice.
Kyuubi snapped open his red eyes to find Shikamaru sitting on him. "Who the fuck are you to threaten me?" He snapped.
"Bring him back!" Shikamaru was practically screaming at this point.
Kyuubi tried to move his arm to find he couldn't. "What the fuck?" Turning his head he found his arms bound by ropes that were tethered to spikes in the ground. "What did you do to me?"
"BRING BACK NARUTO!" The knife cut the skin on Kyuubi's throat slightly.
"Fine. If it will make you stop screaming at me! My head is fucking pounding!"
Blood red eyes turned instantly blue. "Shi-shikamaru? What's going on? Why am I tied down? Why does my head hurt? Why do you have a knife?" Panic set into Naruto's chest.
"Calm down." Shikamaru cooed, moving the knife away. "We've figured out how to get the Kyuubi subdued, if not out of you completely! You're going to have to trust me, ok?"
Naruto eyed the man above him tentatively, he may not agree with Kyuubi's methods, but that didn't mean everything he said was a lie…
"Um…ok, I guess" Naruto muttered.
"First of all" Shikamaru said, getting off Naruto and moving to a nearby pulpit and grabbing something off of it. "You will need to wear this. It's an amulet made of corundum! It's supposed to steady your mind."
"How do you know that?" Naruto asked, suspicious of the man.
"Kiba and I went to an occult wares store in preparation of this ritual. It was…not a pretty place to put it kindly." Shikamaru shivered at the memory. "Speaking of which," Shikamaru looked over his shoulder, "Be sure to get the right incenses in the thuribles Kiba!"
"Yeah, yeah, I've got you're fucking list right here. I still don't like this man." Kiba grumbled as he lit some Storax in the thurible by Naruto's head. "I just feel like we're messing with things people aren't meant to mess with."
"I know Kiba, but it has to be done." Shikamaru said cooly as he lifted Naruto's head and put the necklace on him. "Alright, let's check everything before we start."
"Fine, this one by Naruto's head is facing north and has Storax burning. The one to the east has Galbanum; west has Olibanum; south has Myrrh. Is that right?"
Shikamaru went down his list, checking things off as Kiba spoke. "Yes. Where is the pentacle?"
"On the pulpit with a black candle burning on it, just like you asked." Kiba grumbled.
"Alright, I think we're ready!" Shikamaru stepped back, pulling a book out and reading from it:
Magick, magick, everywhere
In the Earth and in the Air
Magick seals our Circle round
Between the worlds it shall be bound!
Three times around, three times about
A world within, a world without!
Shikamaru waved his arm in a circle three times as he spoke. Then he moved to stand in front of the north thurible. He extended his arms in diagonals by his sides. "Magick of the north, I invoke thee." He shouted. Moving to the east he spread his arms above his head. "Magick of the east, I invoke thee." In the south he adjoined his hands above his head. "Magick of the south, I invoke thee." And finally, to the west, Shikamaru adjoins his hands in front of his stomach and says, "Magick of the west, I invoke thee."
The wind howled as if coming from all directions, making Naruto shiver. Kiba stared on, not entirely sure what was going on.
Shikamaru called out from the pulpit.
Powers of Magick
My plea you shall hear;
Exercise this demon
And make Kyuubi appear!"
Suddenly an alien roar came from Naruto's throat. An orange glow slowly gathered above the blonde's body, taking the form of a large fox. "What the hell?" the image growled. "You fucker, I knew you would be trouble." The Kyuubi form thrust a translucent finger at the brunette, but Shikamaru did not flinch, instead he called out once again.
Bind this being
Bind him well
Send him straight
BACK TO HELL!
The Kyuubi form roared in pain. "No!" he screamed as a black void opened from the sky, pulling the orange glow towards it. "You have not seen the last of me you fuckers! I will have my revenge!"
Kiba quickly raced over to the pulpit as Shikamaru had requested and replaced the black candle with a pure white one. Using the black candle, he steadily lit the white. Shikamaru's voice once again filled the night.
Candle burning in the night,
With your flame enchanted;
By the power of your light
May my wish be granted!
Purify with wounderous soul
In this white light.
Let him live in Kindness forever
Banish his sins from sight!
Circle of Magick; Circle of Art-
The rite is ended ; now we part.
This Circle drawn between the worlds
Begone! as Time and Space unfurls…
The whipping winds became suddenly quiet.
Hey guys, sorry if this isn't very good…I've been trying to search for just the right ritual for this sort of thing, when I first started this story, I never realized just how far it would go!
Thanks to my supporters!
(If you've been a supporter and don't see your name on this list, I am deeply sorry! I tried to get everyone on here, but there are so many of you on here now, I'm sure I've missed someone! Please let me know!)
