Hello kitties

I have ran away from the sequel of Fading reflections to get my butt into gear and write the next chapter of shadow skills blood bonds. For if I don't, I will not drop from what I am at on that story and I'm going down a rabbit hole I don't know if I want to enter. Let's just say Shanks is entering the story now. I think I am becoming Abscess with writing Mihawk paired with a female Zoro or Luffy.

So enough with that.

I do not own Naruto, Shadow Skill, Devil May Cry, Black Lagoon, Midnight Poppy Land, 7 Deadly Sins, One Piece and don't scream if I ever add Mihawk. But I do not own anyone else who appears in this story.

Chapter 27

Let the games being

Ban looks into the Goddess eyes. "I shall follow you to the end of the world." He tells the blonde beauty before him.

Narita smiles at him. "Well Ban that is something that is nice to hear. But I only seek friends and protectors to stand by my side thought out time." She told him with her gentle smile on her face.

A blush dushes his cheeks. "Then I shall be your wayward knight my Lady." He told her taking his right knee to the ground bow his head to her.

Kurama just rolled his eyes as Shikamaru let out a sigh. "Troublesome." He grumbles as he looks around the area to make sure no one else is around them.

Narita giggles at hearing Shikamaru as she looks down at Ban. "Than you shall be my staff and my fox of Greed." She told him with a grin on her face.

"HEY!" Calls Kurama. "I'm the only fox here." He growls out looking annoyed at his kit and the fool he cursed oh so long ago.

Ban looks over at the crimson hair man with a wick grin on his face. "Oh come on big guy. Calm down. It will alright." He told Kurama as he stood up to his fool height of 6'4. Walking over to the crimson eye demon standing behind his Goddess. "You know you have missed me all thought this time Kurama-kun." He said with a goofy grin on his face.

"I should have killed you. But no I had to listen to my little brother and see if we could give you immortality and let you loose on this curse world." Said Kurama with a snarl as flames began to dance around his body.

"Aww I love you too big guy." Says Ban with a large shit eating grin on his face. As he spins out of the way of spin kick from Kurama who is ready to take the man's head off.

"You can come out now." Called out Shikamaru in a calm tone of voice as he stood about five yards away from the group as all eyes snaps over to the shadow walker.

All eyes move towards the forest as Ban, Dante, Zabuza move before Narita as the others surround Tazuna as Kurama move towards the man moving out of the shadows as his golden eyes look like tiger eyes watching their prey.

"Tora." Said Kurama with a smirk on his face.

Narita everything perked up at hearing the name that Kurama had told her about not that long ago. "Tora?" She question as she pushed past the three men standing before her. Slowly making her way towards Kurama.

Tora's golden eyes watch the Kitsune Princess walking towards the man he had only met once with his Princess when he was still a boy himself. Getting down onto his right knee Tora bowing his head with his long raven locks shadowing his face. "Princess Narita Uzumaki-Namikaze of the Land of Whirlpool and Land of Demons." He says as he looks up back at the girl standing up at him. "But I should be calling you Queen as your mother was named Queen before her death. That title was passed to yourself when she passed." He told her as he pulled out a royal crimson scroll from a seal on his wrist and held it up towards her.

Narita looks up to Kurama on what to do. His crimson eyes looks into her crystal blue eyes looks into his crimson eyes and he nods his head to her. She reaches out and takes the royal crimson scroll in the man's hand. "Thank you." She tells in him in a soft voice that could have been mistaken for the breeze.

Narita looks at the scroll and bites her thumb and runs her thumb over the seal and opens the scroll and slowly and begins reading it.

To the Heir of Uzu:

If you are reading this, you are the last of the royal family as this is to be passed down to the next child to be born of the royal family. But to be protected by the Royal Guard. Something must have happen to our homeland for this scroll would only be in two lands. In Uzu or Konoha. If it is found outside of any of these two lands. Something has happen between each the two sister village.

My dear child of crimson waves please heed my words. We are the last of an ancient bloodline tying us with the BIJU's. For only a child of the crimson waves would only be able to house a Biju within their person. So our Clan is highly seek for our powers to seal and embrace the powers of creature of pure chakra. But my child do understand. A Biju isn't a mindless beast as they are living and breathing and are able to feel love and hatred as well. For they will take on human forms as Kurama the Nine-tail Biju is also a father of our Clan as he married the daughter of the Sage of Six Paths when he was wondering the world as a human as his siblings had gone into hiding. That is the reason we have Crimson hair and violet eyes. But enough with my ambles.

If you ever need aid go to Kurama and he will grant you his power to save you and our family as we are his children.

Narita put the scroll down as large tears roll down her cheeks. As Kurama takes the scroll and looks over what she has read so far as his eyes widen as he had forgot about his love affair with the youngest daughter of his father. As he looks down at his kit.

"I was never able to give this scroll to your mother, Princess. Please forgive me. For my father didn't know of the scroll until it was too late." Said Tora looking away with shame written across his face.

"Please Tora do not blame yourself. This scroll is incredibly old and have many important things that answer several question for those who have tail beast seal within them. But it also seems to be a little bit the rambles of an old man on his death bed." Said Narita.

Tora looks at her with wide eyes with shock in his eyes as she spoke with understand and love in her voice. He just slowly nods his head. "My Princess. May I take my place by your side as your protector like I should have been allowed on the day of your birth?" He question with a soft blush on his cheeks.

"Yes. Tora you may." Said Narita with a soft smile. "We are on a mission to the Land of Waves to take care of the son of Gato." She told Tora.

Tora nods his head. "That will be easy. For I was working for the Yakuza in the Land of Tea." He told her with a ghost of a smile on his lips.

Now this has Narita thinking. "I believe we can use this for the mission as you do need people to go undercover to see what this bastard is up to and I also need to know how me cleaning his daddies bank accounts out affected him." She said with a devilish smirk on her face.

Ban steps forth. I could go with Tora here to see the little prick and agree to work for him. As he knows about Dante and Zabuza had crossed his old man and is with the "Little Bitch" that had killed his daddy." He said as he docked attacks form all the men not liking him saying "Little Bitch" about their Princess.

"That could work." Said Narita with a smile.

"I shall go with them as well." Said Kurama with a smirk on his face as he sealed away the scroll as he didn't want no one else looking at the scroll. For there was some things in it that Narita isn't ready to know about. Even now she wasn't ready to know what she just learnt about.

"Okay." Said Narita as she turns and looks at him with a soft smile at him. "It would be good to have you there to keep Ban out of trouble for I am not sure how Tora would handle his free spirit on his own." She added with a far away look in her eyes as she was lost in a thought.

Next time we will be in the land of wave
