Chapter 11 – The Darkness Sealed Within

"W-What's going on?!" A Student Police member shouted fearfully as he and the other grunts could feel the floor and walls around them quake ferociously, equipment and other sorts breaking. "It feels like the entire building is falling apart!"

"This powerful demonic energy! It has to belong to Kuyō-sama is using his true power against those intruders." Another member said as she tried to keep her balance and avoid the collapsing furniture.

On the first-floor hallway that lead towards the exit, a group of Student Police Members were standing together in their transformed states as they looked around at the destruction surrounding them. One of the members, a Cyclops holding a spiked club, ducked his head as a pillar of flames incinerated the ceiling above his head, "These flames are so intense! Just what kind of putrid delinquents are Kuyō-sama punishin-"

"Out of the way, ya giant lard!" The cyclops was cut off as he and several of his comrades were taken down by a silver flash, who turned out to be Gin in his Werewolf form as he landed behind the defeated monsters. The speed Yokai turned his head to look back at Kurumu, who was using her claws to cut down the remaining members that Gin didn't target, and Yukari and Tsukune, who was a little way behind Kurumu with the magical eleven-year-old using her magic to protect Tsukune and herself. "Come on, ya slow pokes! The faster we get out of here, the better!"

"Easier said than done! These guys are stubborn!" Kurumu retorted as she dodged another member before performing a 360-degree spin and delivered a blow to the guy's stomach. Kurumu didn't have time to relax however as another Yokai tried to attack her from behind and evaded the attack with a flap of her wings. "Damn it! Why won't these guys quit?!"

"It can't be helped. This might be a rescue mission but we are still in enemy territory." Yukari, who was helping Tsukune stand with one arm, used the wand in her other hand to summon several washtubs that slammed into the heads of the incoming enemies targeting her and Tsukune. "Don't worry Tsukune, I won't let anyone harm my friend."

'… Yukari-chan…' Tsukune weakly thought to himself before looking up to see Kurumu send another Student Police Member crashing onto their back while Gin was knocking several of them through walls before any of them could realize what was happening. 'Kurumu-chan… Gin-sempai… They're doing everything they can to protect me and escape from here, and yet… I'm just…'

"I really don't want to hurt a lady, however!" Gin's female opponent let out a shriek as the Werewolf shot passed her, slicing off her clothes to shreds leaving her in her surprisingly risqué underwear. Using her self-attempts to cover herself to his advantage, Gin did a quick hand-chop to the back of the girl's neck and knocked her out. "Black, very nice~!"

"Don't get distracted, you perverted mutt!" Kurumu shouted angrily at the Werewolf, not paying attention to the Yokai behind her raising an arm pulled back into the air.

"Kurumu! Behind you!" Yukari shouted towards the blunette.

Kurumu snapped her head back to see the large monster standing behind her, "Oh crap!"

Suddenly, Yukari felt the weight on her left side lighten greatly and watched in surprise as Tsukune appeared next to Kurumu and pushed her out of the way. The two slid across the floor with Tsukune on top of Kurumu with a worried look on his face, "Are you okay Kurumu-chan?"

"Tsukune… You save me… I'm so happy~!" The Succubus cheered happily as she wrapped her arms around Tsukune's and brought him to her chest, causing Yukari, Gin and even their opponents to sweatdrop at the strange action.

"Mrumm-chm… Pwease mnop…" Tsukune's voice muffled out from Kurumu's cleavage as he somehow managed to free himself.

'Now who's getting distracted?' Gin thought to himself sarcastically as he instantly raised his arm and intercepted the man trying to attack him from behind, slamming the back of his clawed hand into the Yokai's face. "If you two are done, we should be getting back to the task at hand. Getting the fuck outta here!"

"He's right!" Yukari nodded her head in agreement.

"Hmph. Fine, stay behind me Tsukune. I'll protect you." Kurumu said to the brunette while raising one of her clawed hands into the air in front of Tsukune, who to her surprise shook his head.

"No, you guys focus on fighting. Don't worry about me."

Gin let out a snort as he sped past several more Student Police members, sending them flying at the same time. "Don't have to tell me twice. Just don't get in our way and wind up hurt, it would be a waste of our efforts"

"I won't." Tsukune replied as he undid his jacket and tie before removing them, "If there is one thing Naruto's training beat into me, it's being able to dodge."

(Meanwhile)

"Burn!" Kuyō shouted as he fired a large spear of flames at Moka, only for Haku to move in front of the Vampire and freeze Kuyō's pyro attack several feet away from the two before Moka spun around Haku and will a powerful kick, shattered the frozen flames with ease. The force of Moka's kick combined the large amount aura she put behind it sent the ice shards flying at Kuyō, who narrowed his eyes before creating four large flames on the tips of his tails and spun them together, creating a vortex of flames that covered his form to block the ice.

"Hmph, he is doing better than I thought." Moka commented with a smirk, lifting up a hand to brush off the soot starting to cover her arm. "Fighting off the two of us at once."

"Kuyō was someone who was born a prodigy, he's never really had a reason to do much training because his abilities were so great. That is how it's always been with his family." Haku explained with a frown as he watched the vortex of flames continue to rotate around Kuyō. "But even so, it is that pride of theirs that limited them so much and one of the reasons why the Namikaze family chose our clan over them."

The flames around Kuyō suddenly grew and launch itself at the two, making Haku and Moka jump out of the way to avoid the attack. The fire vortex continued its destructive path as it incinerated the door at the room's entrance and connected with the wall just outside, creating an explosion upon impact. "Training? Only weakling like you need such things. The Namikaze family were fools to think that your division within the Clan was superior to ours. Especially when comparing me a weak half-breed like you… It makes me want to puke."

"… Moka-san," The Vampire girl turned her head to look at Haku after he called out to her, but he didn't return it as he kept his gaze firmly on Kuyō's smirking form. "I will… handle the rest from here. Please go meet up with the others."

"Are you sure? This battle would be over quickly if the two of us continued to overwhelm him." Moka stated as she looked back at Kuyō, who's ears twitched as he listened to their conversation.

Haku nodded his head, "Yes. This is something that has been long overdue. I need to put this bastard in his place for insulting Naruto-sama and Minato-sama."

"… Hmph." Moka's stance relaxed before she nodded her head, "Very well, just don't waste time. I do not have any desire to explain to Naruto why I left you behind."

"You won't have to worry about that!" The flames around Kuyō grew exponentially as the Yoko lunged forward, four large fire balls swirling over his open palm as he drew closer to Moka, only for Haku to appear in front of Kuyo with his own flames and ice covering his own hand before using it to deflect Kuyo's flames. The explosion from the two colliding attacks left a large opening for the Vampire to escape the room, leaving Kuyo and Haku alone as the flames around them quickly dispersed. "I don't understand it, why are you defending that Human trash?"

"Simple, it's because he's my friend. That's might be a difficult concept for you to understand Kuyo since you've never had any," Kuyo's eyes narrowed at Haku's words as the hybrid continued to talk."But when friend is in trouble, you help them. So, let me say this now, I won't let you harm Naruto-sama or any of my friends."

"Hoooh? Big words from a filthy halfbreed, especially one whose mother and sister are lowly Yuki-onna wenches. It's an embarrassment just to look at you, a Yōko who wields the power of ice is an abomination even among the Clan." Kuyō sneered as he crouched slightly, "And that's all you will ever be."

"Embarrassment? Abomination? Heh, that's fine with me… Because I'm also something you'll never understand, and something you could never be." Haku stated as the look of confidence on his face reflected the determination in his eyes, "Like my father, I don't care about the rules that you and your Clan branch follow. So, come on Kuyō. Let's go, two against one."

"And what's that supposed to mean?!" Kuyō exclaimed as he charged at Haku with a claw raised, only for Haku to shift to the side and dodge his attack before spinning under Kuyō, doing a leg sweep mid-spin that caused Kuyō to fall back. Haku continued his spin with one of his legs stretched out and heel kicked Kuyō in the head sending him crashing into some debris of chairs and tables. But almost instantly they were set aflame as Kuyō emerged from the rubble with an enraged look on his face. "Damn you!"

"Don't think that just because you're a full-blooded Yōko that means you'll beat me." Haku beckoned Kuyō with a 'come here' motion with his clawed hand.

Not even giving it a single thought, Kuyō charged forward once again, this time his body covered in his flames. But the smile on Haku's face didn't waver as mirrored Kuyō's action and met him head on, dodging the first fist before countering with a high kick. This time, Kuyō was prepared for the kick as he tilted his head away from the leg and used one of his tails to try striking Haku, only for the hanyou to use it as a spring board to flip backwards. Once he landed on his feet, Haku used his own tails to create several waves of fire and ice that headed back towards Kuyō who narrowed his eyes as he created two spheres of fire in each hand. The Yōko waited several seconds for the attacks to get closer before he slammed the two flames together causing a powerful explosion that seemed to shield Kuyō as Haku's flames were held off and his ice melting as soon as it made contact.

"You might have control over two elements, but that division in powers does not mean that your abilities are greater." Kuyō said with a smirk as the water created from Haku's ice evaporated before it had the chance to touch him. "As it is, you could say that your powers are only half of what they could be… But that's to be expected from a filthy half-breed."

"… To be honest, that word is getting real old. Especially since I stopped caring about what idiots like you think about me and my family," Haku replied with a grin as ice started to cover his hands and turn them into large claws. With a powerful leap, the hanyou raised one of his claws over his head and swung down to strike Kuyō, only for the fire user to coat his own arm in flames as he intercepted Haku's attack which allowed him to grab onto Haku's wrist thanks to the quickly melting ices surrounding his hand, letting the large amount of water coat the floor. But the determined look on Haku's face didn't dissipate as he lifted one of his legs and slammed his foot into the large puddle of water causing all of it to splash into the air. The water seemed to come to a halt and float in the air for several seconds before they suddenly started to compress and freeze into thin needles.

Kuyō's eyes widened at this as his gaze darted to the thousands of needles surrounding them, 'So many of them!? How is this possible?!'

"This is one of the abilities I gained through my power over ice, A Thousand Needles of Death!" Haku shouted before leaping back just as the ice needles were two feet away from Kuyō, creating an explosion of water and ice upon impact followed by a large cloud of dust. Though Haku kept his guard up as he watched a figure within the dust cloud right up from and a scuffed up and damp Kuyō emerged from the destruction before he used his enhance body heat to instantly dry himself, though he brought up a hand to his chest where several large cuts could be seen.

"Hngh, it looks like your ice… does have some strength to it. But still… It won't be enough!" Kuyō roared as the temperature in the room rose even higher than before causing the ice around them created by Haku to start melting, making the Bi-Elemental User narrow his eyes before he dashed at Kuyō with an arm poised to attack. But he quickly came to a halt as he extended his four tails as far as they could go with the flames around them growing brighter before they flew at Haku and surrounded him. "Fox Tail Inferno!"

Haku glanced at the fire cage around him before a bringing his sleeved arm over his face, leaving one eye exposed as a powerful blizzard started to circle around him and quickly froze the flames before they touched him. "Noroi no Fubuki: Fūsei Kakurei… You may not think much of my mother or sister, but don't forget that they BOTH were/are members of the Nura Clan's Hyakki Yakō. Among the many Yuki-Onnas that are in the world, my father, Kyuubi no Kuruma, fell in love with one of the strongest."

"Even so, you are still a mistake and a freak. One that is no match for me," Kuyō said as his flames started to cover him and surrounded his body in a protective dome. Haku mirrored this with his own flames before the two Yōkos charged at each other at breakneck speeds, everything around them incinerating whenever the two clashed. It didn't matter what stood in their way as the two continued to trade blows with one another, before taking the battle outside of the room and continuing wherever they landed. Many of the Student Police members that Gin and the others had knocked unconscious suffered from the degree burns left by Kuyō and Haku's flames or frozen by the later's ice. The heated battle between the two literally had started to reduce the floor beneath them to ashes and send them crashing to the lower levels… unfortunately they landed exactly where Moka had final managed to reunite with the other members of the Newspaper Club.

"W-What the hell?!" Kurumu exclaimed as she and the others turned their heads to see Kuyō and Haku standing several feet away from them, both had scuffed up appearances and had visible injuries from their battle. The Succubus was not the only one caught by surprise as Yukari and Tsukune were shaking from the powerful auras surrounding the two Yōkos as they continued to glare at the other.

"Of course, their battle had to come here of all places." Gin grunted as he brought an arm up to block his face from the flames created by the two.

Moka narrowed her eyes as she kept her gaze on Kuyō, "Hmph. I knew I should have stayed to finish the battle quickly."

"… It seems I caught up with you lot sooner than I expected. That's good." Kuyō said as he turned his attention towards the Newspaper Club members and then to his defeated minions splayed across the floor. "… It looks like you lot will never learn, just another evil going against divine justice."

"This is not justice Kuyō, only the power greed and sadistic desires from a fool." Haku stated as he raised a hand up and started to concentrate his ice above his palm, "This is exactly why it was my division who became the Familiars to the Namikaze family, yours was too power-hungry."

"Don't make me laugh! The only reason your division was chosen was because they were first, my clan had and always will be the stronger division between the two. Just like I am stronger than you," Kuyō let out a dark laugh as he turned his attention to Tsukune and Kurumu. "Especially with so many weaknesses for me to exploit."

"What are you-!?" Haku's eyes widened as he realized what Kuyō was talking about and saw the Yōko point his hand at the Human and Succubus, "Don't you dare Kuyō!"

Kuyō didn't reply as his sinister grin grew and a large fireball shot out of his hand, "Time to deliver your just punishment, Tsukune Aono."

"Tsukune-san! Kurumu!" Yukari cried out as the flame attack drew closer to the two.

"It's too big, they're not gonna be able to dodge it!" Gin growled as he started speeding towards his underclassmen, but just as he was about to intercept the attack he was pushed back. The Werewolf's eyes widen as he saw a familiar figure took the brunt of Kuyō's attack and was blown back. "What the-HAKU!"

"… HehehehaHAHAHA!" Kuyō bellowed as he watched Haku's body crash to the floor, spinning several times before coming to a stop in front of Tsukune and Kurumu. "Just as I said before Kageyuki! You and the rest of your division are so soft-hearted it's pathetic! I'm going to enjoy watching yo-"

The Yōko didn't get to finish his sentence as a powerful kick to the side of his face sent him flying in a nearby wall, leaving Moka standing alone with a serious look on her face. "It's about time someone shut that mouth of yours."

"M-Moka." Kurumu muttered as she stared at the Vampire's back before turning her attention to Haku, who was being looked at by Yukari. "Is he going to be okay? He took that attack head on!"

"He should be fine thanks to his Yōko half making him immune to the flames, but he still got injured from the explosive power behind it." Yukari explained as she pulled out the healing salve she had used earlier, luckily, she had made enough just in case someone else had gotten hurt. "We need to treat them as soon as possible."

"… It seems that the legends are true, Vampires truly are Legendary Yokai." Kuyō spoke up making several heads turn to see him already back on his feet, "Though given the Clan's history with them, I shouldn't have expected any different. However, it is still not enough to defeat me. Even you… no, ALL normal Vampires are trash compared to me! Especially that filthy half-breed son of Minato-sama!"

"Hmph… Such an ego on this one," Moka said before she raised a hand in front of her as she took a battle stance. "I am going to enjoy showing you your place."

But before anyone could move or say anything, the entire building shook causing them to snap their attention to the ceiling above them as cracks started to form and the walls shook even more ferociously at each second passed. Almost instantly a powerful, malicious pressure started to flood the room, making it hard for some of the lackeys and other weaker Yokais to even breath, and since he was Human, Tsukune was feeling it even more. The brunette could feel the pressure of his sweat going down his cheek as he tried his best to regain the ability to breathe. Suddenly the wall near the entrance blew open, creating a giant hole to the outside and revealing a single figure standing slightly slouched in the middle of it. At first, it was hard for any of them to see who the figure was due to the light behind the figure shadowing their appearance, but soon the shadows vanished to reveal a person that each of them knew.

"N-Naruto?" Tsukune whispered out as he and the others started to recognize the silhouette standing in the giant hole, though the Dhampir didn't reply as he continued to stare into the room with a dull blank expression. A sudden chill went through everyone's spines as Naruto turned his gaze onto them, his crimson eyes holding none of the warmth that they had known so well but instead were cold and malicious.

"Na…ruto…sama…" Haku muttered as he felt Kurumu and Yukari lift his injured body off the floor in order for the Witch to administer her healing potion, but he kept attention solely on the silent Dhampir. The hanyou took in the bloodied appearance that his old friend and master had gained from his battle with that older man from earlier, but the strangest thing was that there wasn't a single wound visible on Naruto's exposed body… But from the strange way Naruto was acting, Haku instantly knew that there was something wrong.

Haku and the others weren't the only ones to notice something was up as Ishigami felt a shiver go up her spine as she watched from a distance, a drip of blood falling from underneath her bandana as she studied Naruto's appearance. 'Now this is interesting, what is this I'm sensing?'

(At the Same Time)

"… Just look at this place…" Kushina said as she and Minato studied the destruction and ruins before them. The two had followed Nurari's directions to the school's Public Safety Building and quickly ran down the path as fast as they could, only to come to a halt at the sight before them. The trees were torn from the ground and ripped to shreds, the tori gates were merely shrapnel now, and several large craters were spread out across the battlefield. Though to the trained eye, any expert could see that it wasn't a battle for long… it had been a slaughter. "Minato, was this…?"

"There isn't any doubt, Naruto's lingering energy is practically flooding the area." Minato replied as he looked around, getting a feel for the battle that had already finished. "To think he would be able release this much power after it was sealed away for so long.

Kushina's worry grew as she listened to her husband, looking around herself before coming to a stop as something caught her notice. "Minato! Over there!"

Minato turned his head to see Kushina rushing towards one of the bigger craters and slid towards its center, and made his way over to see the redheaded woman kneeing next to a body surrounded in so much blood that it practically painted the area. Leaping down and landing behind her, Minato spoke up. "So much damage done to it, not to mention… Does the body belong to a student?"

"… No, this is definitely an adult male." Kushina replied as she inspected the corpse, her eyes narrowing as she placed a hand on its chest. "Still a little warm, so it wasn't too long ago… But I am certain that this is a Were-Tiger, which means he was of Chinese origin."

"So, it must've been from that group that Mikogami was telling us about… I will get in contact with her as soon as this whole issue is resolved" Minato deduced before his gaze focused on the upper half of the body, before a shine nearby caught his attention. Taking a giant leap away from the body and Kushina, who was rising to her feet, to the very edge of the crater, Minato easily tossed a large boulder twice his size out of the way before knelling down. Grabbing onto the object, he lifted it up to show it was Naruto's destroyed bracelet. "This is bad, the whole bracelet came off… We need to find Naruto immediately!"

"Right!" With a nod of her head, Kushina returned to her feet and exchanged looks with Minato before they both disappeared from the area leaving the body behind.

NUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMA

"Naruto Namikaze… I would've thought that that Chinese Yakuza would be enough to finish you, but I guess it was too much for him. Pity, I was hoping that he would kill you so I wouldn't have to but I suppose I'll have to do it myself." Kuyō spoke up with a shake of his head, shrugging his shoulders as he released a mock sigh. "Just goes to show that if you want something done right, do it yoursel-"

*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*

"Hmm?" Kuyō paused at the sound of something dripping onto the floor, and started to notice the powerful stench of blood filling the air. Naruto silently took a step forward, his head tilted down a bit making his hair cover his eyes, and raised one of his arms to reveal that he was holding something… and what it was shocked everyone to the core. "But that's-"

A horrified look grew on Kurumu and Tsukune's faces as the former spoke up, "Isn't that the guy Naruto was fighting?!"

"Holy shit!" Gin exclaimed at the sight. Hanging from Naruto's grip was the decapitated head of Jūra, whose final facial expression portrayed the terror and horror he must've felt before he died as his eyes and mouth were wide open. Jūra's head swung a bit due to Naruto holding onto the long hair on top of his head, while blood continued to drip from some neck area that was still attached to the head.

"No way, did he actually…?" Yukari shook her head to try and remove the horrifying image from her head in order to focus on healing Haku, but the look on Jūra's face would not escape her thoughts any time soon.

"…?! Stay on guard, I am sensing a lot of bloodlust coming from Naruto." Moka warned as she kept her guard up as she watched Naruto's movements.

Naruto let out a chuckle as he turned his hand over so the head would be resting in his palm, before tossing it up and catching it repeatedly like it was a ball. "This idiot actually thought that he had a chance against me. How pathetic… But the amusement it brings me keeps this world from getting so boring."

"Interesting, just what are you?" Kuyō questioned as he watched Naruto continue to play with the severed head. "It is obvious that you are Naruto Namikaze, and yet your aura is completely different."

"Heh, who knows really. But the real question you should be asking is… What am I going to do with you?" Naruto asked with a fanged grin as he stopped his tossing and walked through the hole.

"Hmph, you may be Minato-sama's son and stronger than that Were-Tiger, but I am a proud, Pure Yoko!" The flames around Kuyō grew as the long haired man cockily took a step forward, motioning a hand at the injured Haku and the others, "Not even your little Familiar or S-Class Monsters are anything against me!" To Kuyō surprise, Naruto merely replied with a mock whistle.

"A proud Yōko, huh? That's hilarious…" Naruto's fanged grin grew as he held up Jūra's head for all to see before tightening his grip, crushing the head in an instant and causing a bloody explosion that covered Naruto's arm in the remains. Letting the destroyed head go, Naruto continued to speak without losing a beat. "Because all I see is an idiotic pig…" Naruto paused his sentence as he was stopped by several Student Police members. "Such an eyesore, all these insects…"

"Don't move scum, you are-" The Yokai speaking came to a quick halt as his eyes met Naruto's and his body froze, but it wasn't just him as the others behind him found themselves petrified as well when they met Naruto's crimson gaze. The young man didn't have time to think, let alone say anything, as an otherworldly, shadow-like, black substance with red and orange tinting shot straight out of the floor underneath him, cutting him directly down the middle. At first nothing seemed to happen as he stood completely still with the strange shadow-like blade lock in place, before one the two halved slowly started to fall parallel and crashed to the floor revealing the bloody organs within the two sliced halves.

Nobody could say anything as they stared down at the dead body on the floor and then back at Naruto whose grin grew even larger as strange shadows swirled through the air around him, making the red glow from his eyes more pronounced. "So… Who wants to die next?"

"A-AAAAAARGH!" Another one of the members shouted as he tried to charge at Naruto, only for the Dhampir to quickly intercept him at a speed that no one could follow with a fist pulled back. The force of Naruto's punch was so strong that he pierced through the Student Police member's head before the force sent the body crashing into a wall.

The other members stared in horror at the sight before taking a step back when they saw Naruto's gaze turned towards them. Slowly he turned around and took his first step forward, stepping onto the eyeball of the member he just killed causing it to burst making the other members recoil before they run away. But Naruto appeared in front them with the otherworldly shadows swarming off his shoulders, "What's the matter? Don't tell me you are all bark and no bite?"

"Get away from us, you monster!" One of the female Yokai shouted as she used her claws to slice through Naruto's throat, only for the shadows behind the Dhampir to shoot forward and slice the claw off before grasping the female by her throat, making her gasp as she struggled to move.

"A monster, huh? Then I suppose that explains why you can't even scratch me…" Naruto stated as he willed the shadows to bring the girl closer, the shadows covering most of his face except for one of his crimson eyes and his fangs. Leaning forward to look at the terrified girl dead in the eyes before he grabbed both sides of her face and started to push, ignoring the painful screams she was letting out until a loud snap echoed throughout the room and silenced her. "Because dogs have no chance against a monster like me."

"N-Naruto… that was… horrible." Tsukune whispered as he watched Naruto toss the dead girl off to the side without even a glance. "I know he's killed before, but still… That was too much."

"I wouldn't try talking to him right now, Tsukune." Moka warned the Human while she and Gin moved in front of the group. "Kuyō doesn't realize how one-sided this battle truly is… He's about to taste the power of a Vampire firsthand."

Gin nodded his head as his body tensed up, "She's right. Right now, I think we are just lucky that he sees us as allies."

"No way." Tsukune muttered.

"Now then… I suppose it's time to take care of all of you…" Naruto said as he looked at the remainder of the lackeys, only to frown as they immediately started to run away again. "Pathetic dogs… I don't even need to waste my time with you!" The silver haired teen snarled as his shadows dashed towards the retreating Yokai and started ripping them apart and killing them in the most brutal of ways possible. It hadn't even taken a minute for the screams to be silenced. Naruto turned his attention to Kuyō with a large grin on his face, his eyes wide as they could as he gleefully stared at the Yōko,"Now then piggy, where were we… Oh yes, I want to hear you squeal for me!"

"Did I just hear you, right? You expect me to squeal just like that? It just goes to show how COMPLETELY soft in the head you half-breeds are!" Kuyō exclaimed, launching a ball of flames at the smirking Naruto, who did nothing as the pyro attack connected with his body. To Kuyō shock, his flames were quickly blown away leaving a cloud of smoke in its place and Naruto's visible figure had faded away. "Don't tell me you're trying to run!" Out from the clouds, several pointed shadows shot out and nearly pierced the Yōko who managed to dodge in time by leaping out of the way. But as soon as he landed he was met with a punch to the face that sent him skipping along the ground until he crashed into a large boulder.

"Come on now," Naruto's voice echoed through the smoke that was now covering the entire area around Kuyō. "I though a proud, pureblood would be a lot more entertaining."

"Go to hell you filthy Dhampir!" Kuyō roared as he increased the volume of his flames and spread it outwards to dismiss the smoke around him, only for another shadow in the shape of a fist to slam into his back making him fall forward. But the Yōko was prepared this time as he landed on his hands before doing a spin, kicking out flames from his legs as he spun like a top. The rest of the Newspaper Club did their best to avoid the flames while Ishigami hid behind a secure spot.

'This heat is so intense, it doesn't matter if they're human or Yokai. They'll definitely get burned enough to be near death' Ishigami thought to herself as she watched Kuyō stop his spinning and return to his feet, 'That Kuyō is one fearsome Yokai, I can see why he is so feared among the other students.'

"No opponent can survive my flames when I go full out, Namikaze is surely-"

"Want to rethink that?" A voice spoke up behind Kuyō before the Yōko felt an extreme pain coming from behind him followed by a kick that sent him flying forward. Kuyō quickly rose back up to see a grinning Naruto, completely unharmed by the flames, and to Kuyō's shock was holding two of his tails in each hand. Naruto raised the bloody side of one of the tails closed to his face and seemed to sniff before tossing both tails away. "Your blood doesn't interest me at all, you've got nothing of value for me to take. Just a pathetic lump of meat."

"… How… How dare you…" Kuyō gritted his teeth as his demonic energy rose along with his flames, "To take away my tails… To say that I have nothing of value… YOU, a pathetic, filthy half-breed of a Vampire and a HUMAN! The once proud Namikaze family, tarnished because your father decided to fall in love with a Human of all things before killing off the rest of his clan. All to protect a worthless, filthy half-breed. Not to mention he decided to discard my division of the Clan to pick the Kageyukis… HOW DARE YOU CALL ME PATHETIC!?" With a loud roar, Kuyō charged forward with balls of fire circling around him as he tried in vain to land a blow on the still smirking Naruto.

Focusing all of his fire-power into his claw, Kuyō aimed to take Naruto's head, but to his shock the Dhampir actually grabbed his wrist before it could hit him. Naruto wasn't finished however as his grin turned feral and stomped the bottom of his foot into Kuyō's shin, snapping off his leg almost completely if it weren't for the bits of muscle and fat that barely kept it connected. The Yōko let out a painful howl before he noticed Naruto raise an arm into the air, the demonic shadows encircling his arm and making it bulge. "I want to hear it pig, so, SQUEAL!"

With those words said, Naruto launched his arm in a dagger-like manner at Kuyō, whose eyes widen in panic at the powerful attack coming at him before using his remaining flaming hand to counter the attack… but it wasn't enough as Naruto's hand actually cut through the flames and split Kuyō's arm down the middle. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH-"

Kuyō wasn't allow to finish screaming out in pain as Naruto, whose arm instantly recovered from the degree burns left by Kuyō's flames, grabbed the back of Kuyō's head and slammed him into the ground causing cracks to form around his head. Naruto wasn't done however as he let go of Kuyō's arm before moving it to the Yōko's remaining tails, taking hold of both with one hand. "Like I said before, a squealing pig… But since I enjoyed those screams so much, how about we keep it going!" A taunting, feral look appeared on Naruto's face as he started to slowly pull on Kuyō's tails. As this was happening, Kuyō could only look up to see Naruto looking down at him with his dark, crimson eyes and remembered something that his grandfather had once said to him as a boy.

"Kuyō, I have seen many things in my life. And If there is one thing that I will never forget, it was looking into the eyes of a Shinso Vampire." His grandfather said as Kuyō could see the old man's hands were trembling, which was shocking to Kuyō since he had never seen the older Yōko afraid of anything. "As you are well aware, Minato Namikaze is a Shinso Vampire, one of the strongest beings in the entire world, and I saw him in action as he killed his entire clan in a single night. I will never forget the fear I felt that night, looking at that man I saw nothing but darkness, as if I was looking into an endless abyss… Heed my words Kuyō, never go against Minato-sama or any Vampire, because I guarantee that you might not survive to see the end of that battle."

'So, this is what you meant Grandfather… His eyes… They really are like looking at a cold, dark abyss!' Kuyō thought fearfully as he felt the pain of Naruto ripping off his remaining tails. He felt his body get picked up by his head and forced to look at Naruto in the face, the silver haired Dhampir's demonic grin etching itself into Kuyō's mind. 'It is… absolutely terrifying…'

"Aaaawww, don't tell me you are done already Kuyō. The fun has only just started," Naruto said as he moved his grip to Kuyō's throat as he started to squeeze it, making the Yōko try in vain to remove the grip with his remaining hand. "You were boasting so much before and this is all you can do? I'm not even close to satisfied… what should I remove next? I can't touch your vocals or major organs since I want to prolong this, so maybe I'll start off small and take one of your fingers. One. By. One." Naruto slowly moved his free hand to the arm that Kuyō was using before snatching one of the fingers, but just as he was about to break it a voice spoke up.

"Please Naruto, that's enough. You already beat him." Tsukune spoke up making Naruto halt his actions to look at the Human, as well as the others within the Newspaper Club who were standing behind him, "… Going any further is too much, even for someone like him."

Naruto said nothing in response as he turned back to the unmoving Kuyō, before silently bringing his hand down to the Yōko's stomach and delivered a punch to his solar plexus, making Kuyō cough up blood as he was forced to remain conscious. The next one to speak was Gin, who was still in his Werewolf form as he grabbed Naruto's arm. "As much as I hate to say it, Tsukune is right. Not even someone as horrible as Kuyō deserves something like this…?! Are you even listening to us Naruto? It's time to stop!" Despite the intense grip that Gin had on Naruto's arm, the Dhampir continued to move it to grab onto one of the split, bloody remains of Kuyō's destroyed arm and started to pull, though it was difficult with the restraint that Gin was attempting to put on him. "I said that's enough!"

Before anyone could react, Naruto let go of Kuyō and delivered a heel kick to the Werewolf's side, sending flying back and tumbling until he stopped in an awkward position that clearly showed that his arm was broken. Naruto landed gracefully several feet away from the others as he glared at Gin's form, "… Enough? Doesn't…deserve it? Don't give me that bullshit. Kuyō and his lackeys decided to become our enemies and attack us. It doesn't matter who or what they are, the moment they made that decision… They chose to be killed, to be slaughtered, to become worm food while their corpses rot in the ground!"

"Naruto…niisan?"

"Naruto-sama… what has happened to you?"

"He's like a completely different person."

'Could it be… Is it possible he's…' Moka narrowed her eyes at the thought before a startle shout from Tsukune caught her attention.

"Don't Naruto! That's Gin-senpai, he's our friend!"

The reason for these words was because Naruto was holding up a pure-black Rasengan with two rings around it, one made up of blood while the other was of the demonic shadows, the attack pointing directly at Gin's crouching form, "It doesn't matter who he is, I will not show mercy to anyone that's gets in my way. I will not let that happen… never again!"

"That's far enough Naruto."

Everyone was caught by surprise as a handsome older man, who looked like an older version of Naruto in his sealed state, appear in front of Naruto before backhanding the Rasengan out of the Dhampir's hand sending it flying out of the building and crashing into several trees causing a giant explosion outside. Naruto's eyes widen at the sight of the man before uttering one word, "Tou-san?"

"Hey there Naruto," Minato said with a small smile before delivering a quick punch into his son's stomach, making the younger man gasp before he fell forward into his father's open arm, unconscious before he even entered his grasp. "Get some rest now. It will all be resolved soon."

"Minato!" A female voice shouted making the others turned to see a beautiful woman with red hair rushed to the man's side and instantly focused her attention on Naruto, "Is he alright?!"

"He's fine Kushina, I got to him just in time… Or that's what I'd like to say." Minato looked around at the dead bodies filling the room, as well as the extremely injured Kuyō, before settling on the Newspaper Club… and more specifically Haku. "Hello Haku, looks like you got into quite the scuffle."

"Minato-sama! Kushina-sama!" Haku called out in surprised as he moved out of Kurumu and Yukari's hold to move closer to the two adults before bowing deeply to them both. "What are you both doing here?"

"We heard that Naruto's seal was having issues so we came here to take a look at it… But of course, we had to show up just when the seal completely breaks." Kushina grunted as she crossed her arms, taking a glance towards Kuyō. "I'm sure that one is responsible for this, ttebane!"

"Calm down Kushina. I'll be sure to let the Clan know of Kuyō's actions, but for now we should take you kids to Yokai Academy's hospital." Minato stated as he adjusted his hold on Naruto to move him into a bridal-style hold. "While we are there, we can replace Naruto's seal before he wakes up."

"Hold on… Haku just called you Minato-sama… You're Naruto's parents?!" Tsukune exclaimed in shock at meeting the powerful Vampire he had heard about from Naruto, not to mention his mother who was a powerful, spiritually aware Human. One thing for sure, he didn't think that they both would look so young!

"Brown hair… Human… You must be Tsukune Aono. My son has told us a lot about you and your group of friends." Kushina replied with a warm smile, making Tsukune blush a little at her beauty, and a human formed Gin's jaw dropped once he managed to walk up to the group.

'What the hell?! Naruto's Human mom is a hottie!' Gin thought to himself in shock… not that he didn't think that Human girls could be attractive, just not this attractive.

"We can continue this conversation later, right now we should head to the hospital." Minato said firmly making the others nod their heads in agreement, though Minato was silently focusing his attention on Moka as he got a sense of familiarity from her for some strange reason. "Mikogami and his men should be here quickly to take care of Kuyō and his Student Police group. So, let's get moving everyone."

Standing off in the distance, Ishigami watched the Newspaper Club follow Kushina and Minato out of the area while remaining members of the Student Police swarmed the place and started to take the injured away. "Well now, I never expected for the "Pseudo Dark Lord" to make an appearance… Naruto Namikaze, Moka Akashiya… Thanks to you both I got to see something interesting, so I'll count this as my loss…"

NUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMANUNMA

"Boss! You guys have got to get out of here!"

"She's comi-guk!?" The lackey didn't get a chance to finished as a feminine hand's fingers emerged from his forehead, strangely not causing any blood to come out… almost as if the hand was intangible like a ghost. But with a quick swipe of the female hand, the lackey's body was suddenly sliced apart like it was done by a very sharp blade.

"Don't think I'll make the same mistake twice." A voice spoke up from behind the cut-up corpse, a female figure staring down at the three gang leaders with a hood over her head. "This time, I don't have any intention of letting any of you leave here alive."

"It's you… Black Devil!" One of the men shouted, enraged at the appearance of the woman who caused so much problems for them in the past.

"Why the hell are you here?!" Another questioned as he glared at Akua as she took another step towards them, "Didn't you do enough to us back then?!"

Akua let out a chuckle as she raised her hand, the air around it distorting much to the shock of the three men. "True, I did cause some noise before I left China the first time, and I thought I made the message clear to stay away from my family after I killed the men you sent to chase after me… But apparently, you all didn't learn anything."

"Even if you kill us, that doesn't mean the rest of them will stop. You made an enemy of our alliance and we will not stop until we see you and everyone you care about are dead!" The last leader stated, only to freeze as he saw the murderous, emotionless expression on Akua's face. "B-Besides, one woman can't stand against the Alliance!"

"… It seems that you don't understand the situation you are in, especially since you think that your alliance is so menacing despite the Miao Family nor the Huang Family not having any part in it. One other thing…when I said that I would not make the same mistake twice, I meant it." Akua replied as she vanished from the three men's sights and reappeared behind them, and seconds later their bodies were sliced apart along with everything else in the room leaving death and bloody destruction behind her. "You dared to try to kill my precious little brother and sister, and for that I will make sure that your alliance is erased from existence."

"Akua-sama!"

The female Vampire turned her head to see one of her subordinates running into the room, "… Did you all complete your missions?"

"Yes ma'am!" The subordinate saluted as he continued his report, "Everyone in the building has been eliminated, and the other groups have confirmed their successes in eliminating the other groups of the Chinese Alliance as well."

"Good. Tell them to return to base, we are done here." Akua ordered making the subordinate nod his head before rushing out of the room, leaving the Vampire by herself before she made her way out of the room and then the building. She didn't glance at the hundreds of bodies or pay mind to the smell of death surrounding her as she met up with her other subordinates outside and got into the helicopter, not even blinking as she noticed a man already sitting in one of the seats. "What are you doing here?"

"As cold as ever. Don't worry, I'm only here because the Commander-in-Chief was curious on why you suddenly deployed several squads to eliminate the Chinese Alliance. Though to be honest, so was I." The man commented as he watched Akua seat herself across from him, "It is not often that the Akua Shuzen would order a massive extermination out of nowhere."

"… It is none of your business, Miyabi." Akua answered in a monotoned voice, her gaze turning away from the man to looking outside the window as the helicopter was taking off. "All you and the Commander-in-Chief need to now is that I needed to take care of some unfinished business, and now that I have we can continue our operation without delay."

"Hmmm, I'll be sure to tell her when we return." Miyabi replied while pulling out a cigarette box from his coat pocket, only for it to be sliced in half before he could take one out.

Akua lowered her hand without looking away from the window, "No smoking, I don't want that filthy odor in here for the whole flight."

"Hehehe. Very well."

The airborne helicopter was soon join by several other, much larger aerial transportations and reached a good distance away from the building. Akua never taking her eyes off the former headquarters to one of the Chinese Alliance's leaders. For a moment, guilt flashed in her eyes as she started to think back to the secret call that she had received from Minato earlier, though she had no idea on how he had managed to pull that off. 'Minato-sama, he is still quite the man to be feared. But I suppose it is one of the reasons that I respect him and Kushina-sama so much… I'm sorry that you both had to go through such ordeals because of my past… Moka… Naruto…'

(Meanwhile at Yokai Academy)

In a hospital room, all the bandaged-up members of the Newspaper Club were sitting outside of Naruto's room as they waited for the Dhampir's parents to let them inside. Luckily all of them had been cleared by the doctors and nurses with Gin and Haku having the worst appearances since one of them now had a broken arm and fractured ribs while the other was hit by an explosive, fire attack. Ura had even returned to her seal leaving Omote to wait with the others, the pink haired girl greatly worried about was happening in the next room. It had been almost twenty-four hours since Naruto "battle" with Kuyō and the group had been in their same spots for almost the whole time, only leaving to eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom. Surprisingly, word had spread fast about Kuyō's defeat at Naruto's hands and people were already calling him one of the strongest Yokai of their generation and some were already planning to attack the Dhampir to get that title for themselves. One positive note that day was that they were exempted that they all received from the teachers and didn't have to attend classes that day, though they still had to do the homework assignments and such. But that was for another time, for now the group waited in patient silence for Naruto's hospital room door to open.

"Moooooouuu~ Just how long are they going to take?"

… Okay, so maybe not that silent.

"Come on Kurumu. Both of Naruto's parents said that the sealing process was going to take a long time since it was damaged to badly." Yukari said to the Succubus, who crossed her arms with an angry pout.

"Maybe so, but its hours since they went in there! The sealing process can't be that complicated, right Haku?" Kurumu asked the Kageyuki half-breed, who was covered in various bandages over his body as he sat in one of the chairs closest to the door. "You've known them for a long time, did Naruto's sealing take so long the first time?"

"… I don't know." Haku replied after almost a minute of silence.

"Huh?"

"You don't not know?"

"That sounds a bit weird. How could you not know?"

The fire/ice user closed his eyes as he leaned back in his chair, resting his head back against the wall. "By the time that I met Naruto-sama, he already had the sealing bracelet placed on him… But I do know for a fact that he knew nothing about this second seal."

"A second seal… Do you think it was specifically made for… what happened?" Tsukune gulped as he recalled the look on Naruto's face as he killed all of those subordinates without any hesitation and actually seemed to enjoy torturing them and Kuyō. "I've never seen him like that before."

"… It was almost like he had become a Ghoul…" Everyone turned their heads to see Moka looking down at her hands in her lap, not looking up to meet any of their gazes. While Ura was able to keep the memories that Omote experienced, it was not as strong the other way around, but even so Moka had clear memories of some of Naruto's actions. "It was different though, Naruto was still aware of what was happening around him and talking very clearly."

"Ghouls are said to be mindless creatures filled with bloodlust," Yukari explained to Tsukune and Kurumu after seeing the look of confusion on their faces at what Moka was saying. "It is their lack of any cognitive function that holds them back from being a real threat to anyone, but even so they are very powerful."

"Those weren't the eyes of a Ghoul, so that isn't a problem." Gin commented while scratching the outside of his sling, those things always got so itchy after a while. "It was more like his conscience had twisted and he no longer cared about anything other than destroying his opponents… Reminds me of those old stories on how some monsters used to be when they became too powerful."

"You aren't wrong about that." The Newspaper Club snapped their heads towards the door as it opened to reveal Minato and Kushina with the latter motioning for them to come inside. "The sealing was a success, so come on inside. Naruto should be waking up any second now and I think he would want you all there."

"Yes ma'am/Thank you/Thanks." The six replied as they started going into the room one by one, with Moka being the last one to enter. As she started walking passed them, Minato's eyes widened in shock as he watched her enter the room, staring at the back of her head until he returned to his previous expression before anyone noticed.

"Excuse me," Minato called out to Moka, making the Vampire girl turn her head to look at the older Vampire. "If you don't mind me asking young lady, what is your name?"

"It's Moka, Moka Akashiya." The pinkette answered with a small bow of her head as she introduced herself to Naruto's parents, silently hoping to make a good first impression.

'So, this is the Moka girl that Naruto was talking about, she's pretty cute.' Kushina thought to herself in amusement as she recalled some of the conversation that she had had with her son a few weeks back, until a thought came to mind. 'But why does that name sound familiar…Hmm?'

"… You're that silver haired Vampire from before, right? The Vampire friend that my son had told us about over the phone." Moka blushed at the news that Naruto had told his parents about her, and nodded her head to confirm Minato's words. "So tell me Moka, does the name Akasha Bloodriver mean anything to you?"

The blush on her face quickly vanished as she blinked in surprise, "How do you know my mother's name?"

"Akasha is your mother?! Now that is a surprise… I see," Minato closed his eyes as he went silent for a few seconds as he silently got his thoughts together before opening them to speak. "To answer your question, Akasha and I used to be close childhood friends when we were younger… I… I had heard that she died a few years ago, but I didn't realize she had a daughter. To think that her daughter would become friends with my son, destiny is pretty funny like that."

"Hmmm…. nrgh…. Huh?" Eyes drifted towards the bed where Naruto was resting and could see the Dhampir's eyes open to reveal that they were back to their original, sealed color. "Where… am I?"

"Naruto-kun!"

"Naruto!"

"Naruto-niisan!"

"Naruto-sama!"

"Huh? WHOA!?" The newly wakened Naruto was caught by surprise as he was tackled by several bodies, "Guys!? What are you-! Haku, what did I say about touching me while your face is like that?!"

"B-But I was so WORRIED!" Haku blubbered as he continued to hug the struggling Naruto's arm.

"I don't care! Wipe the snot before you touch me!" Naruto exclaimed as he looked down at the others, "Will you guys get off? I can't breathe with you all smothering me."

"But you were unconscious for the whole day! Your battle with Kuyō was almost two days ago!" Yukari explained with tears falling down her face as her hat started to slip off her head before it hit the floor.

"Two days?! I've been out for that long?" Naruto questioned in surprise before his eyes widened as memories started flooding back, "That's right, I… killed that tiger guy… and then, I did all those awful things…"

"Wait, does that mean you remember everything?!" Moka asked with wide eyes as Tsukune and Haku mirrored her actions and the three backed up to give Naruto some room.

Naruto looked down at his shaking right hand, the same one that held Jūra's decapitated head, before clenching it into a tight fist. "Y-Yeah, I can't believe I did all that… I even enjoyed doing all of it, like it was second nature to me… and Gin-senpai, I'm really sorry."

"Wow, it must really be getting to you if your apologizing to me of all people." Gin said with a small grin, scratching the side of his cheek with a finger. "I was gonna get you back for it, but now I would just feel bad if your beating yourself up for it."

"But what the hell happened, is the second seal really that important?" Kurumu asked only to receive a confused look from the Dhampir.

Tilting his head to the side as he tried to process Kurumu's words, Naruto spoke up. "Second seal? What are you talking about?"

"… You really didn't know." Tsukune said making his half-vampire friend turn to look at him now, "Your bracelet actually had two seals on it, and apparently, it was damaged and removed during your battle with Jūra."

"Seriously?" Naruto closed his eyes as he tried to remember his fight with Jūra, flashes of images involving his bracelet being cut and flying away coming to mind. "That's right, that's how it all started… But why did I have such a thing?"

"I think it would be best if I explained it to you, Naruto." The Dhampir turned his head to see his mother and father standing off to the side, his mother flashing him a warm smile while his father had a small grin.

"Tou-san? Kaa-san? What are you guys doing here? And what do you mean explain." Naruto question, only for Minato to motion for everyone to find a seat. Pretty soon everyone found a seat throughout the room, though some had to make do as Moka and Yukari sat on the bed next to Naruto while Kurumu was "forced" to sit on Tsukune's lap.

"The reason to why your mother and I are here is because we were coming to fix your seal after hearing that it had gotten damaged. Unfortunately, we arrived too late to stop everything that happened up to the point that we arrived… As to your other question, that is going to be a long story… It all started on the day you were born… And… The day you nearly died…"

A/N: I hope you all have enjoyed reading this chapter and conclusion to the Newspaper Club vs. the PSC and Jūra. I hope you will like how I've created the scenario regarding Naruto and his Vampire abilities, and the side effects that go along with it. I know that Ura Moka didn't have as much battle time shown in this chapter, but I felt that this one needed to focus more on Haku and Naruto. And before any of you say anything, Haku and Kuyō's battle was more in Haku's favor until Kuyō targeted the others, it is not that Haku was weaker as he was injured protecting the others from flames that could've killed them instantly. ALL FLAMES and INSULTS will be IGNORED, so don't bother writing them. Anyway thank you all for reading and I hope to see you soon.

A/N 2: Lately I've been wanting to see what it would look if one of my stories was written with that Reading/Watching Genre that been getting very popular lately. I don't know who would be interested in doing it with one of mine, but I really wish I could see it. Hope someone gives it a try.

A/N 3: The next one to be updated will either be Swordsmen of Twilight and then Golden Devil

HOLIDAY OMAKE:

"Wow, I can't believe it's already Christmas time." Tsukune said as he and the others were in the Newspaper Clubroom, decorating the room in holiday decorations. Moka and Yukari were decorating a Christmas tree in the corner while Kurumu was setting up a mistletoe and trying to get Tsukune to walk under it, though Haku was distracting the brunette human with helping him organize some of the stories for the holiday paper.

Gin was currently in his seat, sipping from his coffee mug before he picked up an open book that was on his desk, which wasn't easy with one of his arms resting in a sling. "After all the chaos that you've guys had gone through so far in the year. Not like times gonna stand still for any of us."

"Oh, don't be such a spoil sport." Kurumu called out as she looked down from her mistletoe, "I thought you would've been happier with Kuyō and his Police Safety Commission out of the way."

"Heh, trust me. I am enjoying every moment of it. Though I would've loved not getting my arm broken." Gin smirked as he flipped through the pages of his book, not noticing the wall behind him start to darken. "But now I can enjoy the simple things; the Newspaper Club, sexy girls, and th-"

A smirking Naruto emerged from the wall, shocking everyone in the room as his eyes glowed bright red. "HEY KIDS, WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY!?"

"AAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIK!"

"AAAAAAGGHHH!"

"HOLY SHIT!"

"DAMN IT NARUTO!?"

"Heh, those are greetings that never get old… What's this?" Naruto snatched the book out of Gin's hands before the Werewolf could stop him, flipping through several pages. "Huh, I thought you learned you lesson the last time you…" Pausing midsentence, Naruto turned the book slightly as a grin grew on his face. "Very nice~"

Narrowing her eyes slightly at that, Moka moved next to Naruto before snatching the book away from him. "Don't be a pervert Naruto-kun, we already get enough of that from Sempai."

"What's perverted about motorcycles?"

"Huh?" Moka blinked at Naruto's words before she looked at the book's pages and saw that it was indeed about different types of motorcycles.

"Wow," Kurumu shrugged her shoulders as Moka held up the book to show everyone. "Are we sure there aren't any girls in bikinis or something in there?"

"Can't a guy look through a book without someone assuming there's porn in it?" Everyone went quiet at his question and stared at the Werewolf for a few minutes, making Gin huff as he snatched his book away from Moka. "Just go back to your stupid tree."

Snickering at Gin's reaction, Naruto turned his attention to the decorated tree in the corner, "Christmas tree, huh? I haven't seen one of these things since Dad killed Santa Claus all those years ago."

"… WWWWHHAAAAT?!" All of the other Newspaper Club members shouted at the same time as they stared at Naruto in shock, while the Dhampir looked back at them with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" Naruto replied with a confused tone.

"Your dad killed Santa Claus?"

"How come I never heard about this before?"

"Were you guys on the naughty list or something?"

"He's real?!"

"Was real, now he's a buried corpse in our back yard…" Blinking once, Naruto placed a hand under his chin to make a thinking pose. "Or was that the Easter Bunny? I forget which one that grave belongs to…"

"How? WHY?"

"Weeeeelllll, it happened about nine years back. We were in China and my sisters were spending the night at our house for the holidays." Naruto explained with a smile on his face as he thought back to the fun nights the three of them had... especially that night.

Flashback

Kushina was seen sleeping peacefully in her bed, enjoying the pleasant dreams of her kicking the asses of those pansy-assed gangsters that tried to mess with her and those three nagging, ugly housewives down the road… Hey, her blood wasn't the only reason Minato fell in love with her. But her sleep quickly came to a halt when she heard loud crashes and a loud thud coming from downstairs, and threw on a robe as she ran downstairs. Along the way, she passed Naruto's room where the door opened to reveal a worried Jasmine. The two of them exchanged worried looks before rushing down the stairs leading to the family room.

"What was THAT?! Are we under attack?! Minato! Naruto-chan! Akua-chan!" Kushina and Jasmine ran into the family room where the Christmas tree was and the later turned on the lights allowing them to see Minato sitting in his sofa chair, covered in blood splatters that came from the red-clothed corpse in front of him.

Taking notice to his wife entering the room, Minato let out a heavy sigh. "Before you start…"

Unable to avert her gaze from the body of Santa Claus, Kushina only had one thing to say. "Jesus FUCKING Christ!"

"Okay!" Minato raised his voice again at his wife's words, "Before. You. Both. START!"

"Oh my god!" Jasmine gasped as she cupped her hands over her mouth.

"Would you two just let me explain?!" Minato exclaimed as he patted a hand against his chest.

"Oh YES, Minato! I would LOVE to know why you killed Father Christmas!" Kushina shouted at the Vampire, various anime twitches seen behind her head. "For Pete's sake, we just finished cleaning up the mess you made with that Leprechaun!"

"Hey, you were just as curious on whether they would spray out Lucky Charms!" Minato defended himself before he looked down at the deceased Santa Claus, "As for mister jingle-gut here… He startled me."

"… H-He startled you?!" Kushina repeated with narrowed eyes.

Minato nodded his head before pointed at the corpse, and then pointed his finger back at himself, "He. Startled. Me!"

"OH, well, I guess he should apologize!" Kushina said with a false look of understanding, meanwhile Jasmine could only sweatdrop at the weird statement.

"Well, it's gonna be kind of hard for him. 'cause, uh, you know, I killed him." At that moment, Santa's head rolled away from his body and knocked into the sack of presents that he had placed near the tree.

Kushina let out an angry huff at her husband's nonchalant reply, "Just fucking great! So what are we supposed to do about this?!"

Minato let out a sigh again as he rose from his seat, "Well, looks like I'm gonna have to save Christmas!"

"Wha-" Jasmine was cut off by Kushina's annoyed groan followed by the redhead resting her head into her palm.

"Yup! No other options!" Minato continued as he started to remove the red and white coat off of Santa's headless body, which was surprisingly easier with the head detached.

"How about ANY other option?!" Kushina interrupted with desperation in her voice, "Any at all!"

"No use trying to put the brakes on this!" Minato finished putting on Santa's coat with a smirk, easily dismissing the giant blood stain covering the collar. "It's going down!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… You planned this." Kushina finally says with a deadpanned expression.

Minato had a look of surprise at his wife's words, "What?!"

"You planned this! I know you did!" Kushina said, not noticing Jasmine was silently glancing around the room.

"You… You honestly don't trust me?" Minato replied with an offended look.

"Umm… Where's Naru-chan and Onee-sa-"

Jasmine was cut off as the door behind Minato slammed open to reveal Akua and Naruto wearing elf costumes, with Naruto wearing a green hat with a bell attached at the top. Both of them smiling brightly as they stood side by side, despite the trail of blood behind them.

"We're back!" Naruto exclaimed happily, not noticing the look that appeared on his father's face.

"Minato-sama, we managed to secure the sleigh! Unfortunately, Vixen died in the process, but…" Akua's sentence came to a halt when she noticed Kushina and Jasmine were standing across from Minato, the former's eye was twitching. "… Oh."

"Hi Kaa-chan! Hi Jasmine-neechan!" Naruto waved innocently at his mother as he couldn't feel the tension in the room, though the young Dhampir instantly found himself being brought into a tight embrace as Jasmine rubbed her cheek against his.

"Oh Naru-chan, you are sooo cute~" Jasmine gushed as she swayed back and forth with Naruto in her arms.

Realizing that he was caught red-handed, Minato did the only thing he could think of... He grinned and pointed his thumb at the three children. "...You won't believe how cheap those elf costumes were!" His words only made Kushina take a deep breath through her gritted teeth, "I stole them."

"MINA-"

Kushina's scream was interrupted as Minato shouted back at her, "LET ME HAVE MY NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS MOMENT!"

Flashback End

"After that, Otou-san, my sisters and I flew out on the sleigh and went to a lot of houses that night… Though after a while we got sleepy and Otou-san got bored, so we headed back home." Everyone could hardly say a word as Naruto finished his story. "That was the best Christmas ever, I got a whole lot of presents and I got to eat cooked reindeer meat for the first time."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"… So THAT'S where you get it from." Kurumu was the first one to speak up with a shrug of her shoulders and a head shake.

"The story wasn't so bad, and I have heard that reindeer meat is good for you." Moka said as she weakly defended Naruto, though she really did hear that reindeer meat was delicious… Though her sister, Akua, never did tell her where or when she even had gotten the chance to eat reindeer meat.

Kurumu stared at Naruto and Moka's smiling faces for a few seconds before turning to Tsukune, Yukari and Haku. "Are we sure it's not a Vampire thing?"

"Actually, I've had reindeer meat before. My uncle cooked it for us when my family stayed at his place for New Year's." Gin spoke up as he kicked his legs up onto the desk and rested his hands behind his head, or he attempted to until he remember that one arm was in a sling.

"My father had cooked it for my mother, my sister and I when I was younger." Haku commented with a nod of his head.

"No way! It can't be that good, could it?" Kurumu questioned as she looked down at the young witch.

"It's possible. Reindeer meat is supposed to be one of the healthiest meats, it is up there with fish and other food groups." Yukari explained before the six Yokais in the room continued their conversation about eating reindeer meat, leaving the only Human of the group to watch on with a large sweatdrop falling down the back of his head.

"… So, we're really gonna ignore the fact that Naruto's dad killed Santa Claus?" After several seconds of getting no reply from the others, Tsukune let out a sigh as he looked away towards the audience. "... I'll never understand Yokai."
