Chapter Twenty-Five
Rage against the Dying Light
Temari cried out in horror as her father suddenly spat out black blood, a puncture wound appearing between his ribs when Yura clearly did not touch him. The guards quickly rushed forward, getting between the Goddess and their King, former King/whatever. Yura chuckled darkly as she watched the demon struggle to breathe, choking and gasping, eyes wide with shock before they seemed to glaze over for a moment.
"Dad? Daddy!?" Temari cried out, trying not to panic as she searched for the wound.
"Shh, shh... Temari..." Goza laughed, blood trickling from the wound. "Mina's been hurt... It's- It's been so long since anyone could... could hurt either of us... It's- It's a shock... Gods in Hell, this hurts so bad!"
Temari wanted to hit him for joking around, but that might make this worse. She finally got her fingers to remember how to function normally and untie the knots in his armor and tunic, exposing the wound and hissing at the festering gash.
"What the hell?"
"Angel Tear infused Saint Silver..." Yura purred. "The only weapons guaranteed to kill a Bijü. Think of it as the Angelic version of Sudoma's poison, but at a higher concentration level... And I guess it's true what they say about demon Twins. They can feel one another's pain and suffering the closer they are to one another."
"Fuck off, you old bitch!" Temari snarled, glaring up at the woman who she supposed was a grandmother of sorts to her.
"So rude... then again I didn't expect much from a Demon Whore."
Temari nearly jumped to her feet, but Goza shoved her down, standing up on shaking legs and spitting a wad of congealed blood on the floor.
"He does not like Bitch speaking of Pup in such manners... Rude, rude, very rude... Must punish, yes?"He snarled out as he removed the loose armor and tunic, the wound was bright red with raw skin and a festering infection, but the bleeding was slowly stopping.
"Papa, no fight! Hurt, bad! No want to see die!"
"Pup, leave... no watch..." Temari looked ready to protest, but Goza gave a low growl and she bowed her head before turning around, grabbing a couple of the Angelics, the guards following suit with the few remaining Angelics, the others having been put out of their misery.
Once they were gone, Goza sneered as he lunged at the woman, claws extended as he roared for all to hear...
Ora smirked as he slowly climbed back to his feet, Kyuubi was down, holding his side in agony as his wife and son raced to his side.
"I'm a Hunter, Fox... I have weapons made to kill your kind..." He purred out darkly.
"Shut up, Ora!" Kushina hissed, glaring at him before turning concerned eyes to her mate. "Minato... Baka, why?"
"Hm, I got... cocky..." He grinned, his teeth stained black.
"Daddy..." Naruto whined, hands moving to the knife and wound.
"No... No Kit... not this time..." He laughed.
"Minato!?" Kushina gasped, a look of horror shining across her face.
Naruto looking no better.
"Sorry, Kushina... but not this time around, ne? Maybe next?" His grin softened as he made a strange choking gurgle sound. "Don't be sad... We raised a good son, a leader who is loved and loves all who follow him... He'd be... a good Queen, no?"
"Minato, don't say that! You are not gonna die, damn it!" Kushina yelled, cussing in a way none has ever heard. "You Bakayaro! Baka no Kitsune!Kyuubi no Baka! BAKA!" she wailed as Minato laughed, a wet wheezing sound.
"He hit the lung, Kushina... Can't heal it... already infected and festering... can... can taste the pus on my tongue..." Minato shook his head, closing his eyes, but weakly grabbing Naruto's hand and pulling it to his lips. "I'm sorry I won't see you rule, Kit... But, but trust in yourself, your mate and your friends. They will help guide you. And stand loyal through the end."
"Daddy..." Naruto whimpered, and kissed his father's knuckles, startled by how cold his hands already were. Kurama was a fire demon, his body temperature always burned hotter than any other beings, like a sun in human form, but it was not sweltering or blistering. It was comforting and soothing, but now it was fading rapidly. "Daddy, please... Dad..."
"I get to hear you openly call me daddy in front of your mother... I'm glad, such a nice sound to hear... a nice last memory... so... nice... Hm... tired... sleepy... night..."
"Minato? Minato? Mina... MINA!" Kushina screamed, shaking her mate, but he did not stir or wake. "MINA! MINA!" She screamed, again, hitting his chest, shaking him and finally wailing worse than a Banshee when she realized her mate was gone.
Ora, who had been slowly recovering, laughed darkly with glee. The demon was dead! Finally he can do what he's been wanting to do since he married Kushina! Get her pregnant with his own child! But first to kill off the offspring of the demon, pity, he'd have made a good bed warmer while Kushina was bedridden and pregnant. He pulled another knife from a hidden sheath and approached the pair, but what he wasn't expecting was to see the chakra flaring around Naruto.
All across the heavens, the wind stilled, the clouds condensing and roiling together as the sun hid his all seeing gaze. And for the first time since the beginning the Home of the Angelics was engulfed in darkness. The fighting stopped, shocked by the sudden change, all the fighting but the battles between Yura and Goza, who was weakening rapidly, and the one between Danzo and Sasuke...
Danzo sensed the change in the realm, but did not stop to ponder it, his eyes were focused on killing the Hybrid, who was dodging his attacks and taunting him, speaking in tongues, laughing as if this were a mere game. Roaring, he tried to use the Killing Curse, but the Neighfury closed his wings over his body, the curse reflecting off the mirror like surface and hitting an unfortunate Alchemist, killing her instantly.
Sasuke yawned, opening his wings and smirking when they broke away into mist as he then dropped to his hands and feet, his body a long sleek line like a panther on the prowl. But then he froze and looked to the windows and shut his eyes, dropping to his human form as he dropped to his knees, head bowed.
"You've given up, you little pissant?" Danzo sneered.
"No... My mate is mourning... The King has passed..." Sasuke whispered, barely audible.
"Your king? Demons do not have a King! I am your KING!" Danzo bellowed. "I am the ruler of all!"
"..." Sasuke said nothing as he silently offered prayer and blessings to his mate's father. A man who he has heard stories of and met, got to know as a person not some idol. A King as Mad as the Mad Hatter and as Ruthless as the Red Queen, but was kind and compassionate, if not a bit of a goof ball.
And then he stood up, body growing and scaling over and darkening as his eyes turned a bright toxic green, the Thunder stone around his neck glowing with a brilliant blue color that was mimicked along his head and body, down to his tail as he let out a deafening roar, lunging at Danzo, who barely had a moment to realize what had happened. The two flew into the thrones, Yo'Ha and Ren'Ho, who had remain in their places, easily evaded the two. Ren'Ho looked to the young Neighfury, speaking to him in a form so ancient it was impossible for an outsider to understand what was being said.
But the young Hybrid heard and heeded the words of the Ancient who breathed life into his mother's clan, his clan! Dragons of the winds and thunder, rulers of the storms! And with the empowered reassurance, he opened his mouth, a bright blue flame of crackling thunder screeching in the back of his throat, Danzo's eyes widening in horrified awe just before the VBOOM and CRASH of thunder and lightning striking echoed all around...
Itachi raced across the unfamiliar lands of the Heavens, the sky was dark, too dark to be normal. The air was still, stagnant and suffocating. The wind refused to blow, holding her breath as the clouds refused to unleash their tears and fury. There was a burning fire, one that had been a tiny flicker, but now was going to blaze with wrath beyond imagination. He hurried along the ground, too fearful of Angels spotting him in the air.
The massive castle, the home of the King of Gods was still to far. Finally having enough, he spread his wings, taking to the air and as he thought, he saw Angelics, but they were frozen in place, their demon counterparts floating nearby, all facing the distance. All were pale of face, trembling and reeking of fear. Something was wrong and he knew he had to hurry! Zooming passed the stilled war, he soon came to the castle's gates and dove through them, coming to a stop, digging his talons into the earth, turning it up as he came to a halt in the center of the courtyard.
He turned around several times before hearing the screeching that echoed his brother's most powerful attack only to jump when he the crash, but it was not the finishing strike he expected, because his brother's massive from was launched out of the windows and into the distance, landing with a ground shaking thud.
"Foolish little brother..." He hissed with worry running over to him, ignoring the heavier air here. He dropped to his knees by Sasuke, the dragon was still, groaning quietly as parts of his scales smoked and flaked before shedding to reveal raw blue flesh only to be quickly covered by newer, stronger scales. "Sasuke... Sasuke! Kurama-sama..."
"Has passed; I know. It's full out war now... Leave those who fled alone, but anyone who sides with Ora or Danzo or tries to come after you, kill them..." Sasuke snarled, body turning back to his humanoid form.
"Mother's worried for Naruto... Where is he?"
"There." Sasuke looked up the hill to the one glowing spot as Itachi followed his gaze.
"Oh sweet Mothers of Hell..." Itachi gasped, seeing the massive concentration of all forms of energy: Aura, Chakra, Ki, Ether, Ions and Rays, pulling together to form something.
"Kurama-sama's power... it's being pulled together... it's... Naruto's our Queen..." Itachi gasped, looking awed and terrified all at once.
Sasuke nodded, slowly standing up as he looked to the window he was shot out of, Danzo was staring at the gathering of energy as well, though his eyes were wide with power, lust and greed.
"Get to Naruto and his mother. Let Naruto's rage go for now... We still have a bit of time, we can save Kurama's life... But I need you do it."
"Wh- what!? Are you insane!? Only you can go THERE! I- I can't even look-" Itachi looked pale and panicked.
"We have no choice! I need to keep Him away from my mate..." Sasuke snarled, glaring at Danzo. "He also has Grammy's eyes... I want to get them back for mother. And his heart for Naruto..."
"Fine... as long as I can present Naruto with his liver and Kisame with his kidneys..." Itachi smirked. "I can keep him at bay, you go save your father in law."
"Itachi-"
"I may be more Furie than Neighfury, but that doesn't mean I don't got a few tricks up my sleeve..." Itachi's eyes flashed a brief green and lightning danced along his talons, on both his hands and his feet. "There is a reason I am called Tengu, brother... I will feast well this day..."
Sasuke sighed and nodded, but before his brother could leave, he pulled him in for a deep kiss, pushing a bit of the Thunder Stone's power into his brother's mouth before pulling back. Watching his brother swallow the ball of energy and then blush brightly.
"SASUKE!?" He squealed.
"Shut up and go kick his ass." Sasuke growled as he took off for Uzumakis and Ora...
Ora fell over from the heavy atmosphere that suddenly appeared and was getting heavier the longer he stayed there. Kushina did not look like she sensed it, but Naruto's eyes were solely focused upon him, his face completely blank of all emotions. The blonde slowly stood up, a strange wind blowing, forming around him as the ground under his feet erupted in white flames that swirled around before shooting out creating the Uzumaki Clan's symbol crossed with a star or the Sun.
Ora knew that symbol, only one clan had the 'Sun' symbol and that was the Kitsunes, Fox Demons. But only one clan in particular had this crest and that clan was led by the-
"... Impossible!?" Ora gasped, as dawning awe and white hot rage rushed over him like the brutal waves of a tsunami. "You're the SON of the KING of Demons!?"
"What?" Danzo's voice startled Ora, but the blonde ignored him, still staring at the Crest and then Naruto who had moved to the place between the barn doors where his mother was bent over the dead Kitsune and them, out in the open field surrounding the barn. The Crest moved with him before solidifying at his feet when he stopped.
"Kushina slept with the Kurama no Yoko..." Ora hissed, livid as hell at the idea of being second to The Demon King! "She birthed the Heir to not only the Uzumaki clan, but also the Heir to the entire Demon Kingdom!"
"... That is unfathomable power, power that is at the hands of another Demon, Ora." Danzo hissed, realizing that he too was second fiddle to another demon, this one a young arrogant prat!
Naruto just stared at them, the wind roaring as it funneled around him, sounding strangely enough like the roar of the Nine Tails. Danzo moved forward, but was kneed in the face as Ora was punched in the side of his head, both tumbling down the small hill the Barn's field was on. Rolling to a stop, both men glared up at what attacked them only to see a Succubus and an Incubus.
Sasuke and Itachi snarled low, glaring death and eternal suffering at the two bastards, though they were also trembling from the atmosphere around them. It was like they were standing in the heart of a Tempest and the heart of the strongest flames. The air around them was literally vibrating with the concentration of immense Godly powers and the King of Hell's powers.
The two Gods stood up, about to attack when Yo'Ha and Ren'Ho appeared, floating over the young Godling, speaking to him in their ancient ways and when Naruto looked up, closing his eyes, the clouds above finally shed their tears in heavy torrets it was as if they stood beneath a raging waterfall. The two Ancients nodded and vanished into the Ether, returning to whence they came, knowing how this would end...
The rain felt like a cool balm on the injuries of all those fighting, but warm like a hug from one's parents. Anger was washed away, soothed over by the sweet rain while fatigue and illness were drowned by the tranquil liquid. Healers on both sides of the war took advantage to being saving those they could, regardless if they were friend or foe. Angelics and Demons alike carried the injured off the battle ground. The paradise of whites, silvers and grays had been bathed in blood, black and death, now being cleaned away by the rain.
Thunder suddenly roared, the wind howled and the earth shook. Trees bowed, mountains quaked, lakes, streams, ponds and oceans receded at the beck and call of the God of Chaos. That is what this what the Angelics called a God who did not have just one Talent; one Skill. It has been many aeons since the last God of Chaos graced their realms, the perfect catalyst for all to rebalance itself. And this God was none other than sweet little Naruto. But what the others did not know, Naruto was anything but sweet any more.
No, all the years of repressed anger, hurt, and frustration, coupled with fear, pain, and suffering, and then add in the abuse, verbal, emotional, mental and sometimes physical; no, Naruto was no longer sweet, he was no longer kind. He stood with his head back, the white flames of chakra were roaring tall and bright before they began to bleed a fierce demonic red. Suddenly it was like watching a battle of good and evil swirling around as the red and white flames battled for dominance.
Sasuke and Itachi inched away from the lashing fires, terrified of the uncontrolled flames, but still standing between the power hungry bastards. Itachi risked a glance back, through the flames, he could see Kushina bent over Kurama's body, staring in awe of her son, momentarily distracted from the loss of her mate.
"Sasuke..." He hissed softly. "Queen is safe... Rage is strong, but controlled. Aniki will keep Leeches at bay. Help Chichi-sama return from the Void."
Sasuke looked at the two Gods, both too busy staring in fascination at his mate before looking back at his brother. Nodding, he began backing up and to the side, skirting around the outer points of the Crest, feeling his mate's energy tingle along his skin like lightning would when he flies through the mightiest of thunder storms. It was as if the energy knew who he was for it seemed to calm, Naruto's body minutely relaxing before he made it safely around and moved away from the barrier.
He turned then, hurrying to Kushina, who seemed to snap out of her shock, glaring at Sasuke, but he held up the necklace that Naruto had taken back from Sudoma and later gave to him after their mating. The simple black cord with the chuck of blue crystal was a family heirloom, not something one gives idly away. Upon seeing it, Kushina seemed to calm down, if marginally. Like mother, like son it seems.
He knelt down and after carefully removing the blade from Kurama's ribs, he hissed at the putrid puss and blood that oozed out lazily like sap on a tree. Thinking quickly, he took his Hybrid form once more, using his long claws to carefully cut into the flesh and scrape out as much of the infection as he could. Saint's Silver was a bitch on its own, able to quickly currode the skin of any demon it comes in contact with, Angel's Tears could burn away at them like acid and cause instant infections anywhere it touches, but to combine the two most deadliest weapons to demon kind? It was utterly Savage.
The infection was in the lungs, with every breath it was spread quickly through the body because of the oxygen in the blood stream. Kurama would have died one way or the other, there was no way to have saved him even if he had a chance to restart this war, but he shook his head clear. He need to bring Kurama back, if only temporary to break through the haze of utter bloodlust that was pouring out of his mate. It was very awkward to be utterly terrified and absolutely turned on by his mate right now while he was knelt beside his quickly fading father and mistrustful mother in law.
"You do not have to believe me, but I mean you no harm, my Queen. I am Sasuke, Prince of the Dragons. I am also half Incubus; Nightmare Class." He told her, not knowing if she knew what he was talking about or if she was like many other Gods, ignorant of those beneath them, both figuratively and literally.
"Nightmare? Could you do something for Minato!?" she grabbed his shoulders tight, eyes wild and frantic.
"I can't promise anything but I'm going to try." Sasuke told her.
She looked into his eyes and must've seen something because she nodded and let him go.
"You're Clan... They are of the Water and Wind, right?" He asked her.
"Yes."
"Then I will need your aid. It will not be a cure or a way to save him, the Knife..." he spat at said weapon lying not to far from him, "is designed to kill us no matter if it simple scratches us or is plunged into our bodies. There is no for him to walk away from this battle. But I can bring his Soul back from the Void, for a short moment. Will you be able to flush as much of the poison from his blood as possible while simultaneously keeping air flowing in and out of lungs?"
"Does the Sun not rise everyday?" Kushina asked, a look in her eyes that said this was her mate and that she'd do anything in her power to help. "If you can bring his Soul back, what will that do?"
"Naruto is his only child. Naruto will be the new Queen of the Bijü Court, the Bijü rule over all Demons. He's also a God of both Belevolence and Malevolance." Sasuke told her.
"Chaos..." Kushina swooned, almost pleased. "Finally the Balance can be corrected. Do what you need to Sasuke, I will do all I can. Now hurry!"
With that said, she placed one hand on the wound and he noted a steady stream of water flowing into said injury and the puss and infection flowing out as the other hand hovered over Kurama's mouth and a small of air was slowly growing and shrinking in rhythm with Kurama's chest breathing. Nodding his approval, Sasuke closed his eyes as he began to shed his Draconic flesh, the marks of the Incubus spreading all the way from the top of his head down to his toes, only his kilt around his hips being the the only clothing he wore, his wings grew deadly tolans on the tips as his tail changed shape to the spade tipped tail that was typical of the Furie Race.
Sasuke's eyes had turned solid red and closed as the makings around his eyes acted like needle and thread, sowing his eyes shut as the jeweled eye in the middle of his forehead looked about, twitching like a bird,able to see 720 degrees without Sasuke having to move. His tongue slithered out of his mouth like a snakes, forked and as black as Hell. His teeth were all razor sharp and too large for his mouth. Kushina would have been terrified, if she did not know that this Monster was her son's Chosen One. The jeweled eye looked at her, a pale version of red and gold that she normally saw in Kurama's eyes.
"Patient, keep King live. Back quickly... Not long, must reach Mate. Mate hurt, not allowed." Sasuke tried to speak, but in this form speech was impossible because he himself was closer to his own Beserker rage. Nightmares were not something you wished to anger, they were completely out of control and the only way to stop one was make the Nightmare kill its own Mate and thus kill itself for no Demon dares to harm their own mate let alone kill them.
Slowly standing, Kushina noticed that Sasuke's legs were no longer human but rather similar to a pair of Goat legs with hooves made of some strange metal instead of bone and looked like they could cut and crush anything in their path. It also made him much taller even if he was bent almost doubled as he walked towards the fire and into it, vanish from sight...
