Moon Born Children

Chapter 14 - The Change of the Heart.

Mikoto watched he giant beast in a state of horrified terror, the thing Giles had become was now done with the bull creature and was busy licking the blood from its lips. Any trace of Giles had dissipated and only a mindless beast remained now, its eyes roamed for a new victim and found a group of small demons harassing a tiny black creature in a tree.

Rayne was busy hissing and scratching at the strange horrors that had chased her up a tree; she sat swiping at them whenever they came into range of her claws. When the monsters were suddenly picked up by a giant monster Rayne didn't think twice before racing off to the safety of the Uchiha mansion. At this time Itachi's sports car came racing down the street the black paintwork smeared with crimson liquid, as it pulled up in the drive way and the panicked raven leapt out a bloody corpse dropped onto the car roof. Itachi looked bewildered at his ruined car the roof having been completely crushed by the bloody mass, his pale face was speckled red with the droplets of blood that had hit him. In the ravens arms a tiny black ferret was clinging to him tightly as the horrors surrounding the Uchiha mansion continued to rampage.

It was as Itachi and Sai raced inside the Uchiha mansion that Naruto started to feel the burning pain again, it was like his stomach was son fire and around his navel the markings had returned and this time they moved in a circular pattern around the tanned flesh. It glowed red as it moved and if they listened carefully they could hear something underneath the screams of pain Naruto was giving, like the sound of crackling fire coming from the teen's very flesh.

Outside the thing that had been the dog Giles was busy rolling in the carnage of the apocalyptic going on around him, his long bat like wings were uncurled and spread out into the air casting a huge dark shadow across the earth. As the thing let out a howls Naruto screams reached a new pitch, and suddenly the focus of the war altered its course.

Far away in the capital city of the land of water the gods were keeping control over the demons, they gathered together forming what seemed like a huge storm cloud. Inside the clouds the true forms of the gods bickered and argued on what to do.

"We should flood the earth and drowned everything!"

"But what of the humans?"

"What of they compared to us we could seed this world anew once these demons have been dealt with."

"Can you hear something?..."

"It sounds like...Quickly go stop it now!"

Suddenly the clouds departed and raced off in the direction of Konoha, at such speed that the very ground beneath them crackled with energy.

In the Uchiha mansion Naruto screamed and clutched his stomach as the pain intensified again, his hands clawed at his stomach as the pain caused him to cry. Sasuke hugged the screaming teen as he started to weep; Fugaku was too stunned by the events to move or even react to the situation. As the three other family members raced into the bedroom Mikoto watched as Giles turned and looked at her. It slobbered a thick drawl that was red with blood; it dripped to the ground in long threads leaving a bloody trail. Its large jaws were gaping and his huge blood stained fangs were visible, the long tongue hung from the mouth lifelessly and the women could smell the creatures metallic breath on her face. As the large beast came close to her Itachi and Fugaku grabbed the women trying to pull her back, however she slipped their grasp and fell forwards out of the gapping hole where the wall had been. As she fell she saw the ground quickly approach her, her life flashing before her eyes. But when her mind returned the real world she looked around and saw that she was floating in the air, as she looked at what had caught her she nearly screamed. The clawed hand was like that of a birds but it had strange finger's like that of a human, Giles looked at the small pink creature he'd caught his mouth opened with the intention of swallowing the small thing. Then like a flash of lightning Giles awoke from his hell-energy induced mindlessness, Mikoto looked at the dog as their eyes meet the blackness faded in Giles eyes and the brown innocent dog eyes returned. Giles gently put the women down in Sasuke room as his body underwent a change, the dogs paws returned to normal and the horns on his head grew back into his head. His tail when back to it's normal furry self, only the dogs massive size and wing remained. The wings instantly grew large black feathers like that of a bird and the leathery bat wings were gone beneath the sea of black feathers, the dogs size did not change.

Giles poked his snout through the hole in the wall and muzzled the crying women with the greatest care; he made soft wining sounds as he brushed against the women. Soon Mikoto was hugging the large black snout had stroking it gently her tears almost disappearing.

"What's happened to you Giles?" She said as her pale hands ran through the dogs fur.

As Naruto watched this the pain in his stomach seemed to calm for a moment, then a rumbaing sound came to every bodies ears. A Giles turned to look what was causing the sound he was hit by something, it through him up into the air and as he landed he herd the crunch of his own bones.

As Sasuke looked around at the thing that had hit Giles his eyes fell on something both beautiful yet disturbing, a man who looked like a perfect example of physical perfection. However he looked at this man Sasuke couldn't feel anything but horror as this perfect creature, its cold dead eyes seemed to stare at the human with nothing but utter detest.

"Pitiful...I shall end you quickly." The man spoke in a sweet voice, he lifted a hand and lighting started to crackle from the mans fingers.

Before the lighting struck the dazzled humans something stopped the man from firing, around his waist the jaws of Giles snapped and the lighting jumped to the dog, boiling him alive in his skin. The air filled with the smell of burning flesh as the lighting finally died and the man disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

As the storm clouds of the rest of the gods gathered around the Uchiha's home Giles used the last of his strength to open a portal...Moments later the house was reduced to a pile of ash...

Somewhere else in a pool of water Naruto screamed as the pain in his body intensified.
