(Takahiro's pov)

I smirked as I pressed the dagger closer and closer to his throat. I knew this would be the end. "Any last words?" I wouldn't care to listen but I humored him alittle. He grinned and went poof. 'A clone?!' I turned around only meet a blade, inches away from my face. "I do have some last words I suppose. Let Yukiko go." he hissed. My eyes narrowed, I jumped away from the blade and took off towards the door. I heard a noise then felt a burning near my neck. I looked to see the Snake's attendant, Yukashi Kabuto, who had a chakra scalpel ready to make the kill. "Hehehe, you kill me and Yukiko dies as well." I remarked, the Snake advanced and stood in front of me. "I'll say it once more. Let. Yukiko. Go." he growled. I only laughed, "The girl you once knew is long dead by now. When I took over I acted on her rage and took out every demon in this castle. That rage was the only thing left of Yukiko and once I completed the rampage, she died. Then I took over." I said. Not saying a word he punched me in the stomach, then the ribcage, last but not least, the face. Blood was dripping from my nose, my stomach and ribs ached. Pain I didn't miss. "You think that will save her?" I questioned, "I have her locked away deep inside my mind. In the darkness conors. Where she will be haunted from every memory she can recall. Right now she is slowly being devoured by the darkness. Who knows, she may live or she could be dead at this very moment." I spat. He rose his hand again only to be stopped by the door being rammed open. It was the abomination, wolf girl, and the stupid fox.

"Takahiro, you've lost. Give it up." Hoshi spoke, ready to launch at me if necessary.

"Give mama back!" Orochi yelled, gripping onto the Snake Sannin.

"Takahiro, you've been a thorn in my side since the day your daughter was captured. Now, I can make things right..." the wolf's Sharingan seem to burn into my soul.

My eyes grew wide. I knew what she was going to do. "Don't you dare!" I shouted at her, "This is for the best." the red pools glared intensely into my dark eyes. I felt my soul being disconnected from Yukiko's soul and body. "No! This can't end here! I finally have a body, don't take it away!" I yelled, trying to fight the Sharingan.I heard Yukiko talking, "Father it is time for you to leave!" I grabbed her hand. "I'm staying here thank you!" I roared at her, she flinched and backed away. Hahaha you were always so weak!" I yelled at her. Yukiko disappeared back into the darkness. The only thing I could hear was her crying.

Yuki flew back into the wall when I outmatched the Sharingan's power. "You think such a weak power from that goddess of yours is enough?!" I laughed at her pitiful excuse for power. I felt teeth sink into my shoulder. It was that damn fox, Hoshi! I gripped his neck, "Let go rat!" I flung him to the floor. "You can't save her either!" I screamed at him. He got up on all four legs. "I know I can save her! Because she's..." the last part was too soft to hear.

(Hoshi' pov)

I told what needed to be said, if it was hear or not. I looked over at Orochi, "Young master, you must do this one favor I ask of you." he nodded. "I have returned the scroll, it should outside the door. Take it and send your father and the ninja home. They are no longer needed." the Snake shinobi stepped forward, "What do mean 'no longer needed'?" "Yukiko will explain later." his golden orbs narrowed. "Young master please, take the scroll and send them home." I said again.

Orochimaru put his hand on Orochi's head, "He's coming isn't he." he stated. I shook my head no. "He has to stay here. Yukiko needs him."

"I've abandoned them once before. I don't intend to do so again." he spoke. I could'nt believe what he had just said. Does he regret the action from those years before?

"I'm sorry my lord. He must stay. I am thankful though, that you said that." I muttered the last part. Maybe, Yukiko and him still have a chance. Slim, but it's a chance.

Orochi tugged on his arm, "Come on, we have to go." this caught Takahiro's attention. "No you don't!!" he ran at him, claws glowing dark blue. If he used that on Orochi he'd be dead in a instant!

With a yell, Takahiro brought down his claw. I failed to move in time. But, I heard a clash. I gasped to see Orochimaru defending him with Kunsagai blade. "Just because I left them a long time ago, doesn't mean that I will not protect them." he hissed at Takahiro. I saw my opportunity and decided to strike. I jumped on his shoulder once again and bit down even harder. "Gah!!" he roared in pain. I sank my fangs lower. "Get off me!!" he tried to break my neck, but I still remained strong. "Hoshi!" Orochi called out trying to get me, "No, stay away!" I growled at him. Takahiro now jumped backwards into the wall in a attempt to smash my skull in. "Son of a bitch!!" he yelped, his shoulder blade was pouring crimson. "Take Orochi away!" I said while trying to keep my jaws clenched. He nodded and picked him up. All three left without another word.

(Orochi's pov)

I cried while father carried me outside. I didn't save Hoshi, I didn't save mama. I'm so useless! That made me cry even harder. Father noticed and put me on the ground. "Look, you have to be strong." he said, "H-how can I when I failed to save her?!" I yelled. He sighed, "Yukiko sent you to find me and bring me here to help her. And you did. You didn't fail her. If anyone did..." he looked to the ground. I rubbed my eyes, he did have a point. I did what mama told me to, and I succeeded. I looked up at him, "Thanks." he poked my forehead, "Your welcome." he actually smiled this time. I brushed myself off and looked to Kabuto, who had the scroll. I walked over and took it from him. "I'll send you two home, okay?" they nodded. I opened it and searched for the passage. I soon found it and chanted it. The portal opened to their world. I turned to face them, "There ya go." I smiled. Kabuto nodded and went towards it, but stopped to wait on his master. Father bent down to my level, "Don't get in anymore trouble then you are now. Because I'm not running all the here and back again." I laughed, "Okay, I won't. Promise."

He looked at Kabuto, who was staring at the portal, minding his own business. He gave me a quick hug, "Don't expect that every time we meet." he grumbled.

I laughed, "Okay," I looked at my feet. "When mama gets better, we'll come see you again!" I said happily. He smiled and rubbed my head, "You do that."

He joined Kabuto by the portal. They both walked into the gate and that was it. 'I hope I see you again...' I wished.

(Hoshi's pov)

Blood was pouring off me like sweat. He had sent many ice daggers at me, causing my skin to get all cut up. My red eyes glared at his dark blue ones. This was going to end today! I barked and lunged at him. Digging my claws into his arms, my fangs back into his shoulder. "Furry bastard!" I was thrown towards the ground once again. I couldn't land on my feet this time. I was going in and out of consciousness. "Stupid rat. I knew I shouldn't have kept you alive." Takahiro growled at me, I looked to see if Yuki regained any conscious whatsoever, but she was still out cold. This battle was mine and mine alone!! I thought of something and smirked. It was now or never.

I conentraited on my enegry and began to transform. My paws in hands, body into a human torso, my face no longer resmebling a fox but a human. My red eyes snapped open when the transformation was complete. What now stood before Takahiro was at any more a mere fox, but a proud fox demon!

"Takahiro, this ends now!!"
