War.

It was a meaningless act for him. All this bloodshed and fighting, and for what did it come down to?

Territory? No, long ago it had been established that their borders were far enough so they wouldn't have to meet. Trade? There was nothing that the human's had that demons wanted, or vice-versa.

It simply came down to the difference. Of who they were, or what they were and what that could represent. This prejudice and fear ruled their minds…because for either side the other presented the unknown. A factor that had originally not been taken account of, and now represented a problem.

A problem that had to be dealt with.

Yet he didn't care about any of that, he didn't fight because he feared them. These human's, with their weak fleshy bodies, who only recently learned how to use their inner chakra. They weren't a match for him, and possessed no challenge. He didn't fight because the council asked him to, those lazy youkai did not rule over him simply because they were so weak.

War, it wasn't something that interested him

Till he saw him.

He spotted him a few times in the edge of his vision, taking on 15 youkai on his own, and only one thought entered his mind.

Mesmerising

There was no other word to describe that man. This Human.

They way he moved, so swift as if he was dancing on the currents of wind. Blonde hair, so bright that it put the sun to shame, and those eyes… he didn't think he had ever seen eyes in that shade of blue. And when they met, his bloody crimson against those vivid sapphires the whole world stopped existing.

Suddenly it was just the two of them, caught up in this deadly dance. The closeness stirring up unknown sensations in his chest, his skin prickled with electricity he gasped and tried to push, only to be sucked in deeper. When they fought the earth shock, tore the land up, no one could stand between them. The only stopped to catch a precious slither of air to breath.

"Tell me your name." he asked the blonde haired man. This man that fascinated him, wouldn't leave his mind no matter how many times he tried to crush him.

"Namikaze Minato," he said between raged breaths. "And yours?"

"Kyuubi no Kitsune."

He smiled. "Well Kyuubi lets make this an honourable fight shall we?"

"Yes…" and Kyuubi couldn't help but let a smile form on his face as well.

"We shall."

And so I gave my heart for your name…

Hello everyone this is just a very short... thing (I don't really know what it is, I don't think it can be called an interlude) Unbetaed, because it is so short, and because my beta is sick I don't want to bother her with something so small. I'm only adding this because a few said they liked the '16 years ago', bit, and I thought it might be intersting to put up more that are similar. I know that many are wondering about Minato, but because he hasn't 'offically' shown up in the story yet I can't mention him properly. (please don't be angry)

I hope to put up a proper chapter soon!

Thank you for your continues support!
