Inner Evil: Hey guys here is another chapter, I had a though of doing an April's fool kind of publish but decided that was too much work. I glad to hear all the great feedback of the way the story is going please keep that feedback coming. I want to thank the new people for joining me faireboiz1, rebekahalana, Amethyste Blanche, Carol542, mazzoul, sebasgonzalez140, Mage of middle earth, tayleah, anthea tronchard step, Im-Bored-and-Gay, and last but not least SupergodzillaSailorCosmos.
inuyasha16451: I'm glad you liked it.
:-raynaldi- I would never make them hate Naruto but this is a big topic so there will some angst but no hate from the people who matter.
Rozielrie: Now I can't stop thinking about Hulk Emmett, also I know you will enjoy the interaction between Edward and Kurama.
Nekoyasha12: That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
Chris Darkheart: Thank you I'm glad you liked it. I'm not a big fan of Edward but this story is not about him so he would be seeing less and less.
yukino76: Kurama is going of my fav so there won't be much hate. I haven't decided if I'm going to make Edward see reason or just write him and Bella off.
LunaDragAngel: In the chapters to come we began to see things normalizing, It was never my intention to make Harry the scapegoat I wanted to highlight the normal psychological issues that kids like Harry and Naruto would suffer from after the childhood they had been through instead of making everything rainbows and sunshine. Naruto will learn the details of Harry's past but keep in mind that his reaction had nothing to do with understanding most of the time emotions aren't rational. Naruto was feeling betray and that is hard to rationalize, I also don't think that Harry's situations and Naruto's could be compare as Harry was later 'welcomed' into a world that idolized him where he had a fortune and friends while Naruto was always hated and poor grabbing scraps from trash I'll image and barely getting by since no one wanted to give him work or sale to him. They both suffer but one found an escape early on no matter how fake while the other had to keeping going on alone. Thank you so much for the review, I'm so glad you like the story.
Carol542: and it loves you!
saphireraven27: Thank you for the compliment.
Anon: Thank you. You have an interesting idea I would have to think about since it would require a lot more research since on both Harry Potter and Naruto, I might not want to dig myself into that hole.
"hello" talking
'yay' thinking
'I'm back bitchessss!' Kurama
The Place Where We Belong
We are constantly told "Do not judge a book by its cover" it means not to judge people by what we see and hear about them but to get to know them and make our own conclusions. As kids this is a logical concept one which they have no issues or doubts of, as kids in their innocence are always interesting in getting to know everyone. Kids give everyone an equal chance, maybe is the fact that most of them can't read and therefore don't pay too much mind to appearances.
As adults is when the issues arise because we can read, we can see beyond the pure innocence that only a child possess someone that had yet to be corrupted by the world. After all that is the issue what makes us jaded and judgmental to all we see, our experiences what we go through but also our backgrounds what we are taught by the people around us. Even though we try to be better, to understand, those things rooted deep into ourselves make it hard. But we try to overpower the prejudice that we grew up with making our own decisions based on what we've learn.
So "do not judge a book by its cover" are words to live by, the biggest lesson we could take from life but what about when the book has a bad chapter do we judge them if the rest of the book is amazing do we judge that book base on the one bad chapter or on the many good ones. Can fear be overcome so that we may move forward and get over the bias teachings that we went through as a child from our family, friends, and society.
"What the fuck is he?"
"He's human."
The respond came from Luna in a slow tone as if telling a toddler that the sky was blue. Sam who had been the one to exclaim glared at the blonde seer for the tone and the obvious lie. "That was not human. Humans can't do any of the things he just did." Sam exclaim temper rising at not been given a straight answer "not the humans you know." Again Luna whispered that attitude still present in her tone making Sam's body begin to shake. Embry got in front of his imprint ready to take on his alpha to protect his imprint "Sam you need to calm down, we are all at a lost and we all want answers but you losing your cool isn't really helping. Plus as pack alpha we need you to keep a level head." Embry calmly stated still not moving from in front of Luna, Sam's glared moved over to Embry as the wolf dare try and tell him what to do, his wolf wanted to rip out his throat and show him his place "you forget your place Embry, I'm your alpha."
"And she is my imprint; as long as you pose a threat to her my place is exactly right here."
Embry lifted his head high staring the alpha straight in the eyes making the wolf growl at the obvious disobedience. Sam step forward but was stopped by Jared and Paul's hand "Sam that's enough. Alpha or not you know better than anyone how we are with our imprint." Jared calmly spoke to his alpha "Yea, besides we just barely got one beast under control you really think now is the time." Paul exclaimed feeling the glare of the blonde's family on his back which he knew included his imprint. 'I'll pay for that later.'
Emmett completely ignored the argument between the wolves the only thing he cared about was in his arms and next to him. "Hey raven get on my back." Harry asked no questions as he jumped on his mates back and held on tight while Emmett pulled Naruto up until he was tightly carried bridal style in his arms "you got him?" "Yea, just hold on."
"Emmett where do you think you're going?
Rosalie asked the question as she brought attention to the trio as they got ready to leave. She looked worry as she stared at Naruto in his arms, Emmett was sure that the worry was not for the blond. That's why he had to get Naruto out of there everyone was staring at the blond with fear or as if he were a wild beast that will kill them all any second. 'They didn't take into account that Edward provoked him and that he was his only target. He was protecting me and I might be selfish but that makes me extremely happy. It gives me hope that we might have a chance.'
"I'm taking my mates home."
He did not give anyone a chance to oppose as he was gone in a flash leaving everyone in shock and mixed emotions. Once the shock wore off the group fell into chaos all voicing their oppositions and protest. The arguing began the group was divided among those who wanted to start a witch hunt and those which wanted to protect the witch. With the wolves hot tempered things soon began to escalate.
"ENOUGH!"
Everyone was shock when the words came from the smallest person in the group, Luna had yelled to get everyone's attention. Luna was such a calm and carefree person that her agitation worried those who knew her and surprised those who did not. Luna was never known for raising her voice any higher than a mere whisper.
"Arguing is not solving anything, we all want answers and we would all get them in a calm manner."
Luna focused her look at Lee and Hinata knowing that with Naruto unconscious state the two ninjas were the only ones available to give those answers. Luna could see that they will get the answers that they are all looking for but she can't see what those answers will be. Lee and Hinata looked at each other unsure if talking was the right thing to do. While they knew about Kurama, they met him during the great battle and Naruto told them all about him, this was Naruto's story to tell. It was a very big and crucial story that would greatly affect the blond
'I cannot betray Naruto-kun's trust.'
Hinata couldn't help but be worry she more than anyone knew how much betrayal the blond had gone through and how much all of it hurt him. She looked a Lee who also seemed to doubt that talking about something that belongs only to Naruto to talk about was a good idea 'I will not be one more person that uses and betrays Naruto-kun. I will not hurt him in such a way.' They both couldn't help but think in unison making their decision.
"If you want answer you will get them…"
Lee answered making everyone pay attention and even smile assuming that the ninja will tell them everything that they wanted to know but Hinata's statement made them realized that they assumed wrong.
"…As soon as Naruto-kun wakes up."
With that both ninjas zoom up the tree and were gone from sight. Luna looked sadly at them knowing how much it was eating them up to be put in this situation. She looked at Alice and they both could see how this would end.
"Let's go."
The wizards and Ninja's house (I really need to give them a family name.)
Emmett enter through the window of the master bedroom, Harry got off of him as soon as the vampire's feet touch the ground and went to the bed to set it up for his blond mate. Once the bed was set Emmett walked over to the bed and lay his mate down gently while Harry went into the bathroom and got a bowl of water and rag to clean off the dirt and blood on the blond. As Harry came into the room he saw Emmett finish undressing his mate leaving him in his underwear.
He could see the vampire give the blond a lustful look as he ran his eyes over the sun kissed toned skin. Harry couldn't really fault him; the blond to him was a work of art his tone runners legs, his six-pack abs 'I can see a eight pack forming from constant training, ummm' his biceps strong and bulging 'sooo not the time.'
"Not the time Emmett."
Emmett looked up at his other mate and at least had the decency of looking slightly ashamed at staring in such a way at his unconscious mate. Although Harry was having the same issue, he was able to overcome it as his protective instinct and worry for his mate outweigh any physical need or want that his mate's almost naked body may provoke. With a new resolve Harry went ahead and used the rag to start cleaning the unconscious blond. His worry for his mate was the only thing keeping him in control.
While Harry was cleaning their mate Emmett went about preparing things for when the blond awoke. He prep a jug of water and set it on the night stand as well as some pain killers and after some though he rushed to the kitchen and got crackers unsure of how the blond would awake and what he would need. "Do you think that you might have exaggerated, love?" Harry wondered amused by his mate's obvious mother Henning and overprotective nature towards the blond.
In a matter of minutes Emmett could hear people coming towards the house. In seconds Hinata and Lee touched on the balcony of the master bedroom both with worried and hurried expressions. "Has he woken up?" Hinata asked with a worried and caring expression, the fact the ninja only seemed to be purely worried for Naruto's well being made Harry relax.
"Nothing new but it seemed that he is only asleep."
"I hate to bring such un-youthful news but we left the group behind demanding answers. We told them that we would never give them without Naruto-kun's consent but that would not stop them for long."
Lee's statement was enough to sober the mood among the occupants in the room as Harry rushed to clothes his mate realizing that Naruto was still half naked. The veela inside him grew possessive and jealous of anyone witnessing his mate naked 'no one should see MY mate is such a state, Naruto is Emmett's and mine.' He didn't realized that his eyes were glowing green from his veela magic but the rest of the members in the room saw the change.
Emmett realized what was wrong and fetched some clothes for Naruto while Hinata and Lee slowly excused themselves to clean up leaving the mates, after Naruto was dressed in sweatpants and t-shirt Harry's eyes returned to their normal emerald color. "We have to figure out what to do. Everyone will be persistent in demanding answers."
"Let them come and demand what is not theirs to demand and I will take care of them."
The finality and drive in Harry's voice strengthen the conviction in Emmett to keep his mates safe. While he was also curious and wanted to know he also cared for the blond enough to respect his privacy and chance to decide if he wants to explain things.
Soon he heard sound coming from the forest base on scents he could tell that it was both the wolves and his family. 'I guess I can't be surprise that they couldn't be patient and respect my mate's recovery. Not even his family had the decency to wait.' Harry looked at his mate when he saw that he stood by the balcony glaring at the horizon.
"Is everything okay, Emmett?"
"Everyone is headed this way and I'm pretty sure they're not coming for some afternoon tea."
Harry's expression changed from worry to serious, his eyes harden consumed by the fires of rage at the lack of consideration. Harry turned to Naruto before whispering a silencing charm on the room keep all outside noise out and all inside noise in. After that he put a strong ward around the room to prevent anyone but Emmett and him of coming up and disturbing the blond.
"I have a feeling that things will get very loud and out of control. I put a strong ward and silencing charm on the room to keep Naruto safe and let him recover in peace."
Emmett felt the magic run through him and he was happy that Harry was protecting their mate because if any of those idiots step out of line or threaten his mate Emmett will not hold back the beast inside him from tearing them apart, its already out for blood with everyone coming while his mate was recovering. Both kissed the blond on the forehead not really wanting to leave him alone but knowing that they had to.
Harry and Emmett headed downstairs where they found Hinata and Lee freshly showered sitting on the kitchen island eating a cup of ramen each. The countertop was littered with empty cups of ramen proofing that the two ninjas had been eating for a while.
"How far along are they?"
Hinata asked without looking up dreading what she knew was to come. 'Another angry ignorant mob out to attack Naruto for something that he had no control over, only for the simple fact that he was the easy target.' She vow to not stand back and let injustice happen to her friend, she already did that before and Naruto had to suffer for it shunned and alone.
"They should be here in a few minutes."
Was the answer that came from the vampire staring out the window with a pensive look on his face. All four occupants in the room looked at each other with a determine look on their face as they realized that they share the same goal and that was to protect the unconscious blond upstairs. They will make sure that no one hurt him again even if they have to face their own friends, family and even mates.
In a matter of minutes Harry, Lee and Hinata were able to see and hear the group landing on their backyard and making their way over to them. The first one to arrive was Carlisle who true to his love for his nephew asked about his well being instead of what happened "How is he? Has he woken up?" It made Hinata smile to that know that finally Naruto had someone who care for him so purely.
"No he's still unconscious but that is usually normal when this happens."
Lee was the one that answered the question still in shinobi mode apprehensive of what was to come. He knew that the storm was coming and he was proven right as everyone landed on the balcony and came into his home to possibly attack his family 'I will not allow it' Lee stood up ready to fight if it was necessary. He was shock when Rosalie walked over and stood next to him, showing to all which side she was on. While he could tell that she too was curious she was supporting him and that meant a lot to him 'maybe we are meant to be.'
"Did you not know it was rude to enter someone's home without being invited?"
Harry answered glaring at everyone present as if they were a threat because he knew that they were. They all had the look of an angry mob looking for a monster to lynch, that monster was not going to be his mate.
"I invited them."
The responds came from Luna who stepped forward, Harry couldn't help but look betrayed after all Luna knew about Kurama and how touchy the subject was to Naruto. Why would she do this to him why would she join that mob that look like they wanted to kill him. Luna saw the look her brother was given her the same look Lee and Hinata were giving her. A look of poor betrayal and hurt it pained her deeply that her family would look at her in such a way.
"It is going to happen, they will know and it won't be by Naruto. I saw it this was not changeable, it will happen."
While this seemed to lessen the betrayal in their eyes knowing that this was not something that she can control the hurt was still present. The front door open and in walked Edward follow by a smug Bella "What is she doing here?" Rosalie couldn't help but glare at the human who walked in as if they were waiting for her arrival.
"This is a matter that affects us all and Bella is part of us."
Edward response with a self-righteous look as if he was the one to make decisions for all of them but before anyone could respond they heard a car follow by steps walking towards the house. Jacob's eyes widen "What…" He was shock because he knew that scent "I called her, she needs to be here as she is part of this as well." Luna again was the one that respond and in a few minutes Angela enter the living room looking around shock, her cheeks blushing slightly at everyone's look she could even feel Bella's glare, Angela was sure that Edward's presence was the only thing stopping the girl from attacking her.
Angela walked over to Jacob leaning on his side as she felt the tension coming from him and actually everyone in the room 'What could have happened to make everyone so tense? Where is Naruto?' The girl was so used to seeing the blond as the head of the family that she found it strange that he was not present for what looks like a family meeting.
"Where's Naruto?"
The innocent question made everyone stiffen remembering what happened earlier with the blond. "Probably long gone after he attacked Edward." The responds came from Bella with a look of pure disgust "I knew there was something of about him." This just got her glares from all of the blonde's family and some that were on his side; even Carlisle looked at her sternly.
"There is nothing wrong with him, why don't you ask your mate why he was attacked?"
Emmett was the one that answer with a smirk directed at Bella who looked confused while Edward tried not to show that Emmett's comment had affected him, made him nervous. Angela looked at Jacob surprise as if asking the wolf for confirmation. Jacob nodded at his imprinting confirming what he saw happened.
"Why would Naruto do that?"
"That's what we all want to know."
The responds came from a stern cross armed Sam as he looked at the other two ninja's in the room looking for answered neither Leah nor Rosalie liked the look the wolf was giving to their mates so they stood next to their mates and glared at the alpha. Jared decided to calm the situation before it got out of hand "come on guys, let's all calm down tempers are a little high and we won't get anywhere this way." Esme agreed with the wolf not wanting anyone to get hurt "he's right, everyone needs to calm down and to remember that this is not a trial or witch hunt." She looked sternly at Sam before looking at the witch and wizards in the room apologetic for the unintended pun.
Her words had the wanted effect of not only calming the atmosphere down but of also reminding everyone that the person in question was a dear friend who so far had not given any reason to doubt his character. Luna took this time to serve tea to the humans and wolves while she served blood pops to the vampires which took some explaining on her part. Unknown to all but the other wizards the tea had a calming potion once the potion took effect Alice was the one that started the conversation again.
"You mention someone name Kurama, who is Kurama?"
The question made Harry, Hinata, Lee and Neville tense up knowing exactly who Kurama was the two ninja having even met him in person. Hinata and Lee even fought beside the tailed beast during the fourth shinobi war. It was hard not to flashback to that moment when they were all fighting for their lives.
"It's a monster!"
The exclamation made the two ninjas snap to the present and remember that there was a mind reader present who could see everything that they were thinking about but after what happened they couldn't help but think about the fox and that brought images of him. Edward took advantage of this and focused on their thoughts to get answers before their minds were suddenly block almost as if a wall was dropped in between.
"You really should not intrude in other people's minds, asshole"
He realized the culprit from blocking the ninjas' mind was Harry as he glared at the vampire. Edward did not like having his abilities blocked he felt strange not having access to the minds of others like he has been able to do since he was turned. The feeling made him glare at the wizard who seemed to be becoming a thorn in his side until a big tone chest blocked his view, looking up he saw Emmett glaring at him
"Watch how you look at my mate Edward, you're already on thin ice don't make it worse."
"Edward that was rude of you, we've talked about entering people's mind."
Carlisle reproached the vampire the disapproving tones in his voice obvious, he looked at his son 'what where you think? We talked about this, a person's mind is a private place and they have a right to keep it that way you cannot violate that just because you have the power to.' Everyone seemed to be looking at him as if he had done something wrong and that irritated him because he was the victim in this situation
"I was getting the answers that we all deserved especially me since I was the one that was attacked."
"Yea, and why were you attacked Eddie?"
Emmett asked condescendingly as he knew exactly what happened but no one else knew what happened as when they arrived Naruto had already lost control.
"I was able to learn that Kurama is a demon fox, who hates humans and loves blood. Is that not more important?"
That was able to deviate the topic and get everyone in an uproar after they processed the information. Some were denying the fact, others were ready to kill the beast, it was a chaotic situation that had tensions high making poor Jasper go almost feral. "That is not true." Angela was the one who responded no doubt in her mind making Jacob smile at her and hugged her to comfort her, this only angered Bella "What would you know, you think a few days makes you an expert on supernatural."
"No but neither those a few months. Tell me Bella how long have you known?"
The sarcastic attitude left everyone shocked at the sweet girl's sass, Paul and Leah laughed at Bella being put in her place by the sweet girl. Bella felt her blood boil with rage she looked at Jacob but the wolf only looked at his imprint with pride so she turned to Edward "Angela Bella is right you don't understand…" Edward tried to say gently making Bella smirk 'I knew I can count on Edward at least he has a back bone' but her smugness did not last
"And you do? You're a vampire that does not make you an expert in all supernatural hell a few months ago you didn't even know that wizards and ninjas existed; now you're an expert on demons. All based on the thoughts that you manage to steal from someone's mind, not even full thoughts but glimpses. Glimpses that make you think you're qualified to pass judgement and destroy someone's life over. Face it Edward you have no authority in this subject how about you sit down and let the experts explain."
The room was dead silent no one so much as breathed as the tiny human faced and put the tall vampire in his place. Everyone who knew her was overcome with shock unable to process what just happened. Angela was still in front of Edward her sweet eyes hard and angry, her breath came out in pants, and her cheeks were red she made a quite a sight. She looked like someone you did not mess with. Leah and Rosalie smirked proudly at the girl's show of strength, Paul and some of the wolves laughed enjoying one of their own putting a leech in his place.
"Hinata, Lee I understand how you feel but we're now Naruto's family and while we don't need to know we want to know so that we can better be there for him. We will be honor and ready to listen if you share this part of your lives with us but if not we will understand as well."
Angela glared at everyone in the room daring them to question her decision or say otherwise, the look even made Sam step back and nod in agreement. Once she saw that everyone nodded in agreement to her statement she turn to the surprise ninja's "I know that you feel like this might betray Naruto and you don't have to tell us everything just the basic so we can better understand."
The statement made Hinata and Lee looked at each other both unsure of what to do it was a hard decision to make. 'What should we do Lee-kun?' Hinata asked Lee with her eyes unable to decided knowing that Angela was right but also knowing Naruto's past with betrayal. 'We will never betray Naruto-kun, for no one.' Lee answered Hinata's question with a look of determination 'of course we will never betray Naruto-kun but they are also his family, two of them are his mate.'
"Naruto will approve, he will never compare you guys to them. This subject is still hard for him to talk about so the less he has to say about it the better."
Luna was the one that broke the silent conversation going on before a jealous Leah and Rosalie reacted to their mates' looking intimately in to each other's eyes. Even with the reassurance the two ninjas weren't sure but looking at the faces around them all with a look of worry for the blond and remembering how all helped to stop Naruto without hurting him they couldn't help but realize that these people were different 'at least some of them'
"Very well we will tell you the basics so that you better understand the situation but the rest would be up to Naruto to tell."
Lee explained determined to only tell the essential and already thinking of an apology for Naruto when the blond finds out. He then turned to Hinata who nodded her head as if to confirm that she was with him. Hinata took a deep breath and brace herself for the reactions that she imaged the reveal will get before he began to speak.
"Where we are from like here we also have supernatural beings but unlike here their no wizards, vampires or werewolves their something much more dangerous…no offense"
She added after seeing the offended looks she got from some of the werewolves as well as some of the vampires. The wizards weren't as offended as they knew the story and understood how true the statement was. Lee found it amusing that they were all having issues believing Hinata's story when they witness it firsthand.
"Anyways the strongest and by far most dangerous would be the tailed beasts; all of them hold an unlimited chakra level that makes them close to unstoppable. There nine tailed beast which all are identify by the number of tails that they hold…"
"What does this have to do with…?"
"How about you keep your mouth shut and find out Swan. Continue Hinata"
"…Like I was saying the amount of tails in a way signifies the amount of power that each tailed beast holds the more tails the more powerful the tail beast. The most powerful tailed beast is the nine tailed fox named…Kurama"
The reveal was followed by dead silence both Lee and Hinata could see some of them making the connections. They could almost see the moments that it all fell into place some of them reaching the right conclusion some going in a completely and wrong direction. The emotions all covered the room range from
"So that blond is that beast?" anger
"I knew there was something wrong with him but no one listen to me." smug
"That couldn't be true." Denial
"Poor Naruto that could not have been easy." Pity
"Easy? What are you talking about he's a monster." Aggression
"ENOUGH! Will I be allowed to finish?"
Hinata glared at all in the room especially those who dare insult her brother without having all the facts. This was why she did not want to speak; she directed her glare at Luna for convincing her to do this. The witch had the decency to look at her sad but not surprise and it was clear that she knew that this was going to happen. Hinata crossed her arms and refused to go on consumed by anger at being played by a family member 'but then again I should be used to it.'
Lee looked at the standoff that seemed to be going on between Luna and Hinata so he decided to continue while at the same time looking at Harry and Neville so that they calm Hinata down and avoid the situation from getting worse. Before that Lee looked at Emmett then looked up almost as is asking "He's still sleep, Harry placed a charm so that he could rest without disturbance."
"As Hinata was saying Kurama is the Kyuubi or in other words nine tailed demon fox now I see that I must clear up that Kurama and Naruto are not the same person their both two completely different people and Naruto is completely human. In fact no one had ever seen the tailed beast as they hated humans and humans feared them so they kept to themselves but like Hinata said they are immensely powerful it was only a matter of time before someone wanted that power…"
The room again was quiet everyone absorbed by the story while at the same time processing everything that they could. It was hard to believe that there existed creatures so powerful in any part of the world.
"…So the humans found a way to hardness by leashing them in a sense. They found that sealing them was the only way to contain them. So they began to seal them in people who later became known as jinchuriki meaning humans who were the holders of a tail beast. The idea was that with time and training these humans would be able to control the tailed beast chakra and use it to their benefit."
All the occupants in the room were in shock at what they were hearing some of them seemed to be again piecing everything together and reaching the right conclusion about Naruto and Kurama. Others were still confused at least Hinata seemed to have calmed down although she refused to look at Luna who was in Embry's arms closed to tears.
"But soon it became apparent that not everyone could hold the immense power of the tailed beast so after test and many sacrifices bloodlines were found who could hold this power inside them. The only catch was that the only time that a jinchuriki could withstand the sealing of the tail beast inside them is when they are first born so that their body will grow around the foreign chakra and accept it."
Lee statement was followed with complete and total outrage but this time it wasn't directed at Naruto but at the inhumanity that new born babies where used to seal tail beast for the sole purpose of controlling them and gaining power.
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
"They used babies, those bastards and all for what to gain power." Rosalie eyes were completely black her whole body shaking with range at the injustice and cruelty.
"How could some people be so cruel? What parents would let their child be used in such way?" Esme and Angela were closed to tear at the idea of the babies having to carry this strong burden but it was Carlisle heartbroken voice that had the most affect
"Lee please tell me this is not going where I think it's going please?
The doctor pleaded to both ninjas as his eyes became sad everyone in the room was sure that if he could cry tears would be running down his face. "I am sorry but I can't." Lee looked sadly at the doctor who for the first time since he had become a vampire broke down in front of his family. Esme caught her mate before he could fall unable to understand what was going on.
"To answer your question Esme most of the families especially later generations grew up being taught that this was their duty and they were saving the world from the bloodthirsty tailed beast. To make the long story short the family jinchuriki for Kurama were the Uzumaki clan."
That was all anyone needed to finally reach the right conclusion and to understand why the strong Carlisle broken down in tears.
"There were two members of the Uzumaki clan left when a ninja used his powers to release Kurama and control him to attack our village. Kurama's jinchuriki was weak and dying from the release of the tailed beast as once the tailed beast are release from their host the host dies but she was able to give birth before dying to baby boy named Naruto Uzumaki the last of his clan and the only one capable to withhold Kurama."
The only thing that was heard was a unified gasp as Lee confirmed what must of them had began to suspect.
"Our Hokage at the time saw no other option, the people were dying, to safe the village he had to seal the nine tailed beast unfortunately he could only seal it inside Naruto…his new born son he used his life to perform the seal with that Naruto become Kurama's jinchuriki."
Carlisle released a pained sound at the confirmation of what his brother had done to his own son, his nephew over people who treated him as if he were garbage making his life a living hell all thanks to his own father. Everyone else was completely shock at the reveal that inside Naruto lived a powerful demon.
The wizards already knew about Kurama it did not change how much they loved the blond as well as the fact that he was family in fact he was their patriarch. Harry and Emmett felt their love and pride for their mate grow at hearing what he had gone through both knowing how much suffering and pain being a jinchuriki brought the blond yet he is still so strong. It gave them a new drive to gain the blonde's forgiveness but also it filled them with a new level of protectiveness for the blond.
"He protected me."
Emmett couldn't help but smile at the realization that protecting him was what triggered Naruto to lose control. He was filled with hope at the proof that Naruto even if only unconsciously had accepted him and knew that he was his mate. 'He choose me even after the lying, a part of him accepts us as his mate.'
"What are you talking about Emmett?"
"Don't you see Harry he lost control to protect me and the only thing that made him snapped out of it was our kiss."
As Emmett words set in Harry couldn't help but smile this meant that there was hope for them to be happy together all three of them. Edward who heard their words and thoughts was confused as to why his mate would attack him to protect Emmett 'Why would my mate attack me? I'm his mate; it makes no sense…unless it was Kurama the one who attacked me not Naruto.' While this was going on people were lost in their own reactions and thoughts.
The reactions varied from person to person Esme, Angela, Embry Jacob and Alice all couldn't helped to feel an immense sadness for the blond who was marked and sentence from the day he was born to be hated and fear. They were not stupid enough to believe that the people accepted that the demon that attacked them was inside Naruto and saw him as a hero from that. Only a naïve fool would believe that. 'People are bigots and I know exactly how they treat does who are different definitely not with open arms and love.' Alice couldn't help but to remember the glimpses of her own past both as a human and as a vampire before the Cullens.
Jasper ever the general and strategist, Sam the alpha and Leah all were cautious not only at what was said but remembering what happened in the clearing. A person should not have so much power and such lack of control at the same time. What happens next time that the blond loses his temper? He could lose control and go on a rampage. 'He's too dangerous' Leah looked at his imprint with worry.
On the other hand Jared, Paul and Rosalie couldn't help but be impress by the blond and his power. While they understood that the lack of control was dangerous it was still extremely cool to have such power. Naruto lived all his life with Kurama inside him the fact that he had survived so long was already impressive on its own. 'Plus the fact that the fox doesn't like the leech or takes any of his attitude means that he can't be so bad.' Paul smirked as he remembered Edward's face and how the blond threw him like a rag doll.
"He's a monster!
Bella screamed terrified at the new revelation 'this is all I needed to get rid of that blond demon.' She looked around at everyone expecting to see faces of support and fear like hers but all she got was looks of confusion and anger in some cases.
"What did you say?" "I don't know I kind of like the fox, he seems like my kind of animal."
Both Paul and Harry said at the same time one was with a tone of pure rage daring the human to repeat what she said while the other's tone was amused and completely unbothered by the situation. It seemed like the right thing to say as Paul got a blindingly bright smile from his imprint, the wizard walked over and stood beside him, the pride was obvious in his face.
"What are you talking about? Did you not hear he's a monster we should stop him before he loses control again, He's a danger to everyone."
Bella exclaimed as she saw that the attention was deviated away from her, she could not lose this opportunity to destroy the blond but even those who seemed to have agreed with her were looking at her as if she was crazy, as if she was talking about an innocent human. She looked around frantically looking for support in someone but Edward was lost in though and everyone else was looking at her either in anger or uncertainty.
She did not notice that as she was distracted by her goal to get rid of the blond by antagonizing everyone against him Harry was slowly losing himself to his veela who was fuming at the human's words against its mate. Harry tried to control himself but when it came to protecting Emmett and Naruto nothing was too much. "You selfish, self-centered, narcissistic bitch! How dare you insult my mate, I'll show you a monster."
Harry exclaimed before jumping at the now screaming human "EDWARD!" the wizards eyes were glowing emerald green, his nails seemed more like talons and his teeth had grown into fangs leaving everyone too shock to do anything about it. But just as he was inches away from clawing Bella's eyes out strong arms wrapped around his waist stopping him mid leap. Harry was pulled against a strong muscular chest as he felt a warm breath on his neck
"Calm down green eyes."
Harry knew that voice in fact he had fantasy about it, it sends shivers through his body and electrifies his blood every time he hears it. The voice immediately had the effect of bringing Harry back in control of his veela. He relaxed into the strong arms breathing in the scent of oranges and cinnamon 'Naruto' when the blond did not release him but instead held him close to him Harry made a content sound that he would deny sounded like a purr 'shut up Rosalie'
Finally everyone snapped out of their shock Edward ran to wrap his arms around Bella but was cautious of the blond who seemed to be glaring at both of them. Emmett join his two mates a big grin on his face at seeing Naruto holding Harry and not letting go, he towered over them like a big grizzly bear daring anyone to so much as breath wrong in their direction.
"Naruto you should be resting."
Hinata stepped forward out of worry and to get the blonde's attention away from Edward and Bella. "Have you talked to Kurama?" At the questions Naruto's head turned sharply towards the Kunoichi his cerulean blue eyes narrowed down as he read Hinata trying to figure out why she would bring him up in front of all these people. 'Well kit let's just say you strutted.' At Kurama's words Naruto's eyes widen looking from Lee to Hinata for confirmation.
"Oh fuck me."
Naruto looked around a saw the truth in everyone's eyes they all knew which meant that, Harry and Emmett both saw him in that form. He thought that with the training and the truce between Kurama and him this would not happen again, that he would not lose control. Naruto closed his eyes "How bad?"
"Three tails but no one was hurt."
"You're a monster!"
Bella yelled at the blond making him flinch at the insult that he has heard so many times before since the day he was born 'I should be used to it by now.'
"Shut the fuck up Swan because he was the only thing stopping me from kicking your arse."
Harry growled glaring at the human again wanting to knock her teeth out but also not wanting to leave the arms of his mate. Emmett also glared at the human who he had though could have be another sister but the damage was done and Naruto was five years old again sitting on the swings watching parents take their kids away from him hearing them spit insults at him 'I just wanted to play and make friends.' He could still hear his five year old self whimper to the parents but only getting disgusted looks and more insults.
Naruto eyes landed on Carlisle but he couldn't deal with the disgust and fear again, he just couldn't "Naruto please don't…" Luna and Alice tried to calm the blond but Naruto released Harry and ran out of the room, the house, the looks, and his family. If he would have stayed he would have enjoy watching the shocking event of Angela walking up to Bella and slapping her
"Do you ever stop being a jealous, attention-seeking bitch?"
Everyone was shock by that but not so much by the tears rolling down her eyes Jacob grabbed his imprint and wrapped her in his arms comforting her as she cried her eyes out looking tiny in the arms of the tall wolf who towered around her. Harry and Emmett were going to follow their mate to make sure he was okay and explain that to them Kurama did not matter and they loved him no matter what.
"No stop you will not find him if he does not want to be found."
Surprisingly enough the words came from Hinata not the seers in the room who did not want to admit that they were as lost as everyone else since the blond was so confuse he had not made a decision. They all turned to Alice and Luna even Hinata and Lee looking for reassurance but getting none
"Is he going to be okay?"
"I don't know."
"Where is he going?"
"I don't know."
"When is he coming back?"
"I don't know!"
"Is he coming back?"
"We don't know!"
Inner Evil: Well all done guys! Kind of left it on a cliffhanger I guess but let's face it I could have ended this chapter on a worst one. Next update would be in May.
What do you guys think, should I add a villain or just keep it as is? If left as if then I would only have a few chapters left but if a villain is added it would be a lot longer.
Also I'm not writing another story until this one has an ending so let me know in the reviews.
Next Chapter:
Hopefully the end of angst
Emotional talk and forgiveness
Edward meets and has a conversation with someone who hates him.
PLEASE REVIEW!
PLEASE REPLY TO MY ANSWER IT WILL DECIDE THE DIRECTION OF THE NEXT CHAPTERS!
