*Sasuke's House* ---15 minutes later---
Sasuke unlocked his door, as he walked inside the house with only one purpose, to grab a few things to take over at Kakashi's place. The usual coldness appeared the moment he stepped into it. Everything was dark, as he prepared to light up the room so he wouldn't trip on something.
As he made his way towards the switch, he heard a few cracking sounds in the living room. Instinctively, he grabbed a few kunais and immediately shot them into the darkness where the sound came from.
He stood there for a few minutes, in his fighting stance, sicne he had not heard his kunais hit anything, which wasn't normal.
The next thing he noticed, was the kunais coming back in his direction. He reached within his holster to grab another one, as he blocked everyone of them.
"Who's there?" Sasuke asked coldly
The person who hid within the darkness took a few steps forwards and opened his eyes. Through the darkness, Sasuke saw those red eyes that glared at him, which made him uncomfortable.
"I've been waiting for you, Uchiha Sasuke" Takai commented with a wide smile
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha's hospital*
--- Iruka's Bedroom ---
Iruka sat down on his bed, as he urged Naruto to do the same. Naruto knew that how he reacted earlier made his former sensei worry, and didn't whine about it. He jumped back on the bed, as he sat next to Iruka but never looked once into his eyes.
"Naruto, how did you........." Iruka started to ask as looked at Naruto
"Kyubi" Naruto let out before Iruka had asked completely his question
"Kyubi? What does Kyubi have to do with this?" Iruka asked a bit worried and surprised
"I don't want to talk about it........." Naruto answered as he lowered his head
"Naruto........." Iruka called him out as he placed a hand on the blonde's shoulder
"Look, all I know is that thing that attacked you has something to do with him. So can we not talk about it?" Naruto pointed to his stomach and then asked with an angry voice
Iruka noticed the boy didn't feel like talking about it, so he dropped the subject as his bedroom door opened and revealed Sakura, with a nurse who stood behind the young female.
"Are you both alright?" The nurse asked both males
"Well, we wanted to know if we could get our discharged papers to leave as soon as possible." Iruka requested
"I don't see any trouble since Hatake-san will be taking care of you." The nurse replied while Sakura sat down on a chair and scanned the room for a certain boy
"Arigatou" Iruka thanked her
"If you'll wait here, I'll go get them. As for you Naruto-kun, you should go pack up the things you have in your own room so you'll be ready to leave ne?" The nurse smiled at him
Naruto smiled back, as he rushed out of the room, pass the nurse to start packing right away. Iruka smiled at how the boy could still be hyperactive after what happened.
The nurse left, as only Sakura and Iruka remained in the room.
"Ne Iruka-sensei?" Sakura started with a low voice
"Yes Sakura?" Iruka placed his attention on her
"Where's Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked more worried about the Uchiha than the fact Naruto was up on walking as if nothing happened
"Sasuke went at his house to grab some stuff. He'll be staying with Kakashi- sensei like myself and Naruto." Iruka answered a bit angered by her worries for a boy more than her own teammate
"Then I'll go join him!" Sakura said with a smile as she prepared to leave when Iruka glared at her
"Sakura, Sasuke doesn't need you for gathering his clothes. You should be more worried about your teammate that was, moments ago, in an unconscious state, than for a boy that knows too well how to defend himself." Iruka told Sakura with a serious tone
Sakura could only go back to her seat and remain silent as she knew all too well what Iruka had just told her, was true. Silence then consumed the room, as Iruka sighed in relief and waited for Naruto to come back with his things.
--- Naruto's Hospital Bedroom ---
Naruto looked around as he grabbed the few things he had with him and stuffed them into a bag. He then placed the bag on the bed, as he made his way towards the window to take a peek outside.
"Ne Kyubi, now that we're alone, I want to know about that Takai........." Naruto whispered to himself in hopes the fox was listening
"You sure don't waste any time........." The fox growled
"Look, that thing is attacking people I care about!" Naruto started to argue
"You made your point, so close your eyes, and you'll see........." Kyubi ordered the boy
Naruto stopped arguing as he closed his eyes. Red chakra started to appear around him, as he felt the extra power within his body. His vision went from black to a lot of colors.
============================================================================ ======================
*FLASHBACK*
In a far away place, a place where humans were not present, a giant fox growled, as he swung his nine tails to the ground, almost causing an earthquake.
On the other side, stood a great coyote that seemed enraged by the presence of the fox. His eyes were glaring red as both canines and claws were as sharp as those of the foxes.
Both stood their ground, as the fox swung it's tail to get the trees in front of him, out of his way. The trees flew in the air as well as dirt. Soon, no trees were in the way as the fox took a step forward and growled again.
The battlefield was being prepared under the grace of the darkest sky. The only thing that could illuminate the ground was the brightness of the full moon, that once in a while pierced the darkest clouds.
"Turn around while you can Takai" The fox ordered with a serious tone
"This territory doesn't only belong to you Kyubi" Takai replied as he took a few steps forward to minimize the gap between them
"I defeated your father or have you forgotten?" Kyubi asked with a little grin
"I could never forget the humiliation you gave my kind, and for that you will pay" Takai stated as he leaned forward and prepared to pounce
"Then I guess the Coyote demons will end with your death" Kyubi let out as he observed carefully his opponent
Loud thunder was heard as rain started to fall. When the first droplet hit the ground, it was at that precise moment their great battle would start.
Both charged forward as they tried to bite each other at first as they waved their clawed paws form time to time. Kyubi opened his mouth once more as he managed to get a bite on the coyote's shoulder. Takai growled as his opponent's canines sank into his furry flesh and blood slowly came out of it.
Takai quickly reacted as he prepared to sank his own claws into the fox's faces. Kyubi saw the paw coming as he let go of his enemy. Kyubi took a few steps back as he countered the attack with his own claws.
The moment those paws connected, a great deal of wind washed out around them, as they struggled for dominance over the other. Both growled loudly as Kyubi retreated his own paw and claws.
Upon retreating his own paw, the coyote smiled as he saw the opportunity to overcome the fox. He charged forward again with both paws, as Kyubi had turned his back to him.
"You're as dumb as your father........." Kyubi let out with a smile
Takai didn't understand at first, when in a quick movement, Kyubi placed his paws against the ground and swung his nine tails straight at the coyote. Takai's eyes widened as he didn't foresee this attack. The nine tails struck him hard, as his face met the dirty soil.
Takai prepared himself to stand up again when Kyubi's mouth had him in a death grip, around his neck. Takai didn't dare to move on the moment, when the fox stepped on the coyote's back to ensure he stayed down.
"If you coyotes would have learned to stay away from my grounds, then you wouldn't be the last one alive." Kyubi mumbled as he sank once more his claws into the coyote's back
The coyote stayed quite but as he felt his flesh being torn apart again, his body reacted instinctively and jerked up, pushing the fox off balance and away from himself.
The fight continued several minutes, as the fox had the upper hand. Blood splattered everywhere but most of it belonged to Takai, and the wounds that Kyubi had inflicted from the beginning of their battle.
Despite the chakra Takai had, after a long battle, his chakra started to diminish as his wounds couldn't heal as fast as usual due to the many he already had and kept appearing on his entire body.
Kyubi charged forward again without any second thought, as Takai saw an opening and took advantage of it. Takai's claws connected with the left side of Kyubi's face as the coyote then smiled.
"You shouldn't leave an opening" Takai commented
Takai's claws sank into the fox's cheek, leaving three fresh bloody marks, but when Takai looked to see the expression on Kyubi's face, all he saw was the fox smiling.
"Don't underestimate me like the rest of you filthy coyotes" Kyubi let out
Despite his minor wounds, Kyubi had took the hit willingly as he turned his head quickly and took a bite out of Takai's neck. Blood gushed out as the coyote screamed form the pain.
Takai's vision became blurry as he had lost too much blood and as much chakra he wanted to gather, it wouldn't heal most of his sever wounds. The coyote was unbalanced as he had no other choice but to sit down on the ground and try t focus on his enemy's move.
Kyubi had the upper hand as he was winning over his enemy. He rushed towards the coyote and slapped him multiple times, giving the demon more wounds, to the point Takai could no longer remain on his four paws.
The last blow put Takai to the ground, as Kyubi hovered over the dying corpse. The coyote laid on his right side, as Kyubi grinned at the enemy he had defeated.
"You should've stayed away, but at least I want have to deal with coyotes anymore" Kyubi let out as he opened his mouth to show his bloody canines and prepared to deliver the last blow
"I can't let that fox win and dishonor the coyote clan anymore!" Takai thought as he struggled to see clearly
As a desperate move, Takai gathered chakra to his canines as he managed to lift his head enough so that his teeth would connect with Kyubi's neck.
The fox growled at this new pain that struck him as he had not planned for this to happen. He felt the chakra entering his body through the bite as he pulled away and slapped the coyote's head. Kyubi's claws made damage, as his right side of the face was cut along with his eye badly damaged.
"I was careless for a moment, I won't do the same mistake twice." Kyubi let out as his chakra healed his wounded neck
Takai got up on his paws, as he slowly backed away from the fox. Takai knew but also felt, he was going to die if this continued, and with his strength and low chakra, he couldn't defeat the fox today.
Kyubi observed the coyote as he also looked behind him, to notice a deep gap to god knows where. Kyubi smiled as he prepared to charge again, but this time, to kill in one movement.
Takai then stopped moving, as his back paws almost fell in the air, as he leaned his head towards the right to notice the endless cave.
"Now you die" Kyubi let out as he turned around to strike Takai with his nine tails
By instinct, Takai evaded as he could the strike but by doing so, his rear started to feel in the hole. As he started to fell, the coyote managed to take hold of the ledge, as his claws desperately tried to hand onto to the ground so he wouldn't fall to his death.
Kyubi advanced to the edge as he placed his own front paws over those of the barely hanging coyote and smiled. For the moment, Kyubi was the one that was preventing the demon from falling into a bottomless pit, since his claws were greatly stabbed within the coyote's paws.
"Too bad, your father gave more of a fight then you" Kyubi whispered before he violently pushed the demon away
As the demon fell into the darkness, Kyubi stood on the side and felt the slight pain where the coyote had bit him.
"Fortunately for me, he wasn't able to complete that curse........." Kyubi thought before he left the scene
*END OF FLASHBACK*
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Hospital Bedroom*
Naruto sat down as he touched the side of his neck where Kyubi had originally been bitten.
"So why is he still alive?" Naruto asked a bit confused
"That, even I don't know how it's possible kit." Kyubi answered honestly
"So what's that curse you talked about?" Naruto asked
"That was the coyote's greatest ability. When they know they're about to die, they gather chakra to their canines and bite their opponent. When the caster dies, the curse is activated and thus the opponent soon follows 48 hours after." Kyubi answered
"So, he's really that dangerous huh?" Naruto asked
"........." Kyubi stayed silent
"I better get back, Iruka-sensei will worry, and Sasuke should be coming back soon too" Naruto smiled as he grabbed his things and went back to Iruka's room
"I feel guilty to bring you more pain little one........." Kyubi thought but Naruto never heard it
============================================================================ ======================
*Somewhere*
The leader of the rebel ninjas in search of power, the Ryuza clan, stood near the window when he felt the presence of another in his quarters.
"What is it?" The leader asked
"Forgive me my lord, but we lost track of the demon." The ninja answered
"Leave" The leader ordered him
"But my lord!" The ninja started to protest but the leader gave him a deadly glare
"Find Takai and bring him to me. The three brothers will accompany you sicne they know how to handle Takai. Now leave before I have you killed." The leader demanded
The ninja didn't dare to protest once more as he decided to leave before he would get killed by the leader.
"I have to put a leash on that coyote........." The leader though as he remembered how he came to acquire Takai
============================================================================ ======================
*FLASHBACK*
At the bottom of cliff, a small coyote laid in a pool of his own blood. He was the size of a wolf, as his eyes were slightly opened and his ears listened to his surroundings.
"To think I had to make myself smaller to save my chakra........." Takai let out when he heard a branch crack
He lifted his head to see a tuff of brown hair emerge from the forest, a few meters away from his own position. Takai rested his head on the ground as he closed his eyes but followed every sound the human made, as one thought crossed his mind.
"Curse that fox to make me go as low as this........." Takai thought as he waited for the human to come even closer
"What the hell is that thing?" The male asked as he was right at the demon's body
The male kneeled in front of the demon as he touched the neck to verify if it still had a pulse.
"Seems like he's still alive. My lord what do we ........." The male started to yell out to the forest as he heard a growl
The males attention turned back to the coyote, as his eyes widened when it showed it's bloodied canines.
"You shall be a suitable host........." Takai growled
The male didn't know quite how to react when Takai launched himself directly at the male's throat as blood gushed out and fell on the ground and inside the demon's mouth.
The male laid on his back as his weak hands reached out to the demon's throat, but had no strength to struggle more, as he felt a huge power cross his entire body.
"Naze.........?" He managed to ask as he felt so confused
"Because I have no desire to die before I revenge my father" Takai answered
The male's body jerked up and then was numb, as no more movements occurred. Slowly, the coyote himself started to fade away into some sort of chakra and entered inside the male by the wound on his neck.
After several minutes, the coyote was no more, as the boy sat up and the wound on his neck healed. He then placed his hand upon the wound and slowly stood up when more voices came.
"Man we didn't hear ya right?" A ninja stepped out of the forest
A few ninjas followed in his step, which included the younger versions of Toshin, Tonai and Tenshi of the Ryza clan, followed by the current leader of the clan.
"Are you depth or something?" The nija asked as he placed a hand on the male's shoulder
The moment his hand made contact with the male's shoulder, the male turned around as he took hold of the hand and broke it. The ninja screamed as he tried to get out of the painful grip.
"What the hell is wrong with him!?" Tenshi asked ready to engage in battle
The male let go of his grip on the ninja and turned to face the remaining ninjas. He then revealed his eyes, they glowed of a crimson red and hid an evil smile.
The three brothers prepared their weapons as they were about ready to engage in battle, when the leader raised his hand to prevent them from doing something they might regret.
"Name yourself" The leader demanded
"No human needs to know my name" The male stated
"Demon?" Tonai let out
"If it's a demon how did it take possession of that guy's body?" Tenshi asked
"Leave before I kill you" Takai warned them now in possession of a new body
The leader didn't listen to the warning as he saw that even after the demon took possession of the body, he remained weak because of his previous state. Takai's hands shook a little as his true wounds only started to heal.
"You're too weak to kill us. So tell us which demon you are" the leader demanded an answer
Deep down, Takai knew that the human leader was correct, but for now he saw no danger for the moment coming from them except for that Tonai ninja.
"Takai, the Coyote demon" Takai replied with a growl
"Interesting......... Then I offer you a deal demon" The leader started
"I will never lower myself to you humans" Takai replied with anger as he started to be agitated
"As you wish, we will kill you immediately then." The leader replied as he motioned the three brothers to kill him
The three brothers advanced towards Takai, as Takai prepared as wel. The three brothers formed a triangle around the demon as they had a hand placed on their weapons.
"This is your last chance, although I'd prefer you alive" the leader repeated to the demon
"Why would humans need a demon for?" Takai asked
"We are of the Ryuza clan, we seek power and the power we seek right now is that of the grea nine tails demon fox, Kyubi." The leader informed
Upon hearing the name Kyubi, his ears twitched as his fists closed and shaked.
"Alone, we know we'll have trouble to obtain him, but I remember hering of a Coyote demon who seek revenge for his father against this demon. Wouldn't it be better if we worked together? That way we both obtain what we want" The leader offered
"Don't you even care that I stole this human body for my personal needs?" Takai asked
"Iie, do as you wish with it. The fact that you caught the boy off guard shows that he wasn't strong enough to be part of our clan. But if you agree to this deal, certain terms apply." The leader informed the demon
"And those would be?" Takai asked fearing the worse
"For all I care you can kill anyone you want, as long as they aren't allies with my clan or are members of the clan. To make sure you value these terms and not brake them, we will use a certain force." The leader informed him
"Your terms are acceptable but one thing changes." Takai demanded
"Yes?" The leader asked
"I only take orders form you and no one else. If any of your men hinder me in any way, I won't hesitate to kill them" Takai requested the change
"Agreed, As for you?" The leader asked
"Agreed, but once Kyubi is dealt with, I'm no longer under your control" Takai stated as he glared at the three brothers
The leader nodded as they finally came in agreement. The three brothers then each placed two fingers on the demon's neck, as they made one hand seals and began a jutsu.
"What is this!?" Takai yelled out as he found himself paralyzed and pain shot in his neck
"To make sure you don't brake our agreement. This curse will remain until we acquire what we desire. Only then, will the curse be removed." The leader specified
Takai growled before he fell on his knees and darkness consumed him. Tonai grabbed the demon as the two other brothers wondered what they should now do.
"Bring him back with us, with him in our clan, acquiring more strength and powers will be much easier, especially when it will come to Kyubi" The leader informed the brothers as they headed back to camp
*END OF FLASHBACK*
============================================================================ ======================
*The Leader's Chambers*
The leader took a deep breath as he remembered the deal he made, but as the years passed, the demon became impatient as he seemed to hold a personal grudge against Kyubi.
"He better respect the rules, or I'll be forced to use that curse on him." The leader told himself as he went towards his desk and sat down
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
"Who's there?" Sasuke asked coldly
The person who hid within the darkness took a few steps forwards and opened his eyes. Through the darkness, Sasuke saw those red eyes that glared at him, which made him uncomfortable.
"I've been waiting for you, Uchiha Sasuke" Takai commented with a wide smile
By instinct, Sasuke reached within his holster to grab a kunai, as he also activated his Sharingan.
"Don't expect any help from them" Takai showed the three bloody corpses of Anbu with his eyes
"Why are you here?" Sasuke asked coldly
"The boy you slept with, I have a thing for him" Takai replied as he observed the reaction he would get out of the Uchiha
"If you want to hurt Naruto, then you'll have to go through me first" Sasuke replied
"I was hoping you would say that" Takai softly said with an evil smile
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha's Hospital*
--- Iruka's Room ---
Naruto entered the room with a bright smile, when he noticed the silence that ran in it.
"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked a bit worried
--- Poff ---
Kakashi appears in the room as he waved his hand to greet them.
"Hinata-chan is doing fine and ........." Kakashi started to explain when Iruka interrupted him
"We know, Naruto told us." Iruka informed the Juunin
"Ah, so is everything ok here?" Kakashi asked with a hidden smile
"We're just waiting for Sasuke to return from his home" Naruto answered
Kakashi lifted an eyebrow but remembered that A team of three Anbu members were following Sasuke wherever he went.
"Then I guess we wait!" Kakashi smiled
Naruto stood in front of his current sensei, as his former sensei still sat on the bed, and a very silent Sakura sat down on a chair still trying to digest the harsh words of her former sensei.
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
Takai brought his fingers to his mouth as he licked the blood of the Anbu off of them and then smiled at Sasuke.
"After I kill you, I can't wait to get my hands on that blond boy and lick his blood." Takai continued to tease Sasuke
The demon continued to talk how he would torture poor Naruto and Sasuke could no longer suppress the anger he felt towards the demon and without second thought, he charged at the demon.
Kunai in hand, Sasuke threw it towards the demon, well knowing that he would dodge it. He placed his hand in front of his mouth and blew flames from it towards where the demon had landed.
"Did I get him?" Sasuke asked himself while he looked at the blazing fire
"No human can beat me........." Takai's voice came from behind Sasuke
Sasuke's eyes widened as he quickly turned around to face the demon in time to block the attack, but he still found the claws of his enemy cut him deeply in the arm he used to block with.
Sasuke then took the moment to flip backwards and landed on his feet, while he had a hand pressed against his wounded arm and glared back at the demon.
"Your blood......... It's been too long since I had Uchiha blood to drink ........." Takai let out as he prepared to strike again
"For once, Kakashi might have been right........" Sasuke thought as the pain in his arm continued
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha's Hospital*
--- Iruka's Room ---
"Tell you what Naruto, I'll treat you to some ramen tomorrow since it's been a while since we ate any" Iruka informed the boy
"Really!? Arigatou Iruka-sen ........." Naruto started as he was about to jump up and down
When Naruto didn't finish his sentence, Iruka looked worried when he saw Naruto's eyes change completely of expression.
Naruto had seen a quick image of a wounded Sasuke and started to panic a little. His eyes were plastered with a blank expression as Kakashi placed a hand on his student shoulder to make sure he was alright.
"Kyubi........" Naruto whispered before he fell to his knees while he clutched the fabric of his shirt
--- Inside Naruto ---
Naruto kneeled before the cage, as Kyubi observed carefully the boy before him once more.
"Boy, Takai must be attacking someone new, and that could only be that Uchiha brat. Do something before you go into another trance" Kyubi urged the blond
"Why am I so helpless?" Naruto asked himself as the pain increased
"Brat! Stab yourself or something! The pain will prevent you from blacking out again" Kyubi demanded as he hit the bars to wake up the blond
Naruto looked up, as his eyes showed slowly how he faced Sasuke that was a bit wounded at first, but could feel the sweet blood on his lips.
"NOW!" Kyubi yelled out
---Back in the room ---
Iruka jumped out of bed as Sakura was too freaked out to go through this thing again. Kakashi kneeled in front of his student as he talked to him but Naruto never answered.
Before any of them knew what Naruto was doing, it was already too late. Naruto had quickly grabbed a kunai from Kakashi's holster and pointed it towards himself with pain in his eyes.
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled out
Naruto stabbed himself in the hand as the blood fell both on the floor and across Kakashi's face. Iruka took hold of the bloody kunai and threw it on the floor as he grabbed Naruto by the shoulders and shook the boy hard.
"What the hell are you thinking!?" Iruka started to scold the boy
Naruto violently slapped Iruka's hands off him as he simply rushed out of the room as he headed to an unknown destination.
"What ........." Iruka let out as he was himself in shock
"Iruka, stay here, Sakura, follow me, we're going after Naruto" Kakashi ordered his student
Sakura nodded although she still had trouble assimilating what had just occurred. Before Iruka could object of not coming with them. Sakura was looking away for a moment, as Kakashi knew how the Chuunin was attached to Naruto, so he made his move to make sure he wouldn't follow especially in his condition.
Kakashi leaned forward as he cupped Iruka's cheek gently and gave the Chuunin a quick kiss. Kakashi had grabbed Sakura and they disappeared from the room. Iruka stood there and blushed as he realized Kakashi had actually kissed him.
"Bring him back safely Kakashi........." Iruka thought as he fell on his bed and let out a deep breath
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha Streets*
Naruto ran as fast as he could as he knew he needed to get to Sasuke's house before he was too late again.
"Kyubi! If anything bad happens, can I count on your power?" Naruto asked
"If you go up against Takai, then you'll need more than my power little one ........" Kyubi stated
---- Not Too Far Away ----
Kakashi and Sakura ran on the rooftops as they still sensed the chakra trail of Naruto and followed him closely in hopes to not loose his trail.
"His chakra's a little strange........" Kakashi thought before continuing their pursuit
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
After a long fight, Sasuke had struggled to only dodge the attacks of the demon thanks to his Sharingan but he still retained many cuts. His chakra was almost depleted as he couldn't even conjure up a fire jutsu.
Sasuke's Sharingan then faded away, as the boy panted hard and tried to keep up on his feet, while he still had a hand pressed against his main wound.
"I see that you're beginning to tire Uchiha Sasuke" Takai let out as he roamed near his prey, ready to strike the finishing blow
Before Sasuke could respond, Takai had vanished from his sight and Sasuke started to worry a little, when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and pain shot through his neck.
Takai had reappeared behind the boy as he held him in place by putting pressure on his shoulders. He then wanted to taste more this blood and sank his canines into Sasuke's pale and delicate neck like a vampire feeding off it's victim.
Sasuke yelled out in pain as he managed to get out of the demon's grip, but remained unbalanced. Takai charged forward immediately as his clawed hand connects with Sasuke's jaw and sends him flying outside the house.
--- Outside Sasuke's House ---
Sasuke landed roughly on his back but rolled many times before he met a tree that stopped him from sliding any further. Sasuke barely managed to lift himself to his knees, as his hand now covered the wound on his neck, his eyes were unfocused and almost closed due to the pain.
Takai slowly walked out of the house as Sasuke's blood still filled his mouth and ran down to his neck. Takai made sure to lick the blood from his lips as now he was prepared to kill with the next blow.
"This is the end of you life" Takai let out as he charged forward with sharp claws, aiming for Sasuke's neck
Sasuke's expression softened as his eyes were a complete blank like the first time he had shielded Naruto during their fight with Haku. Sasuke then leaned forward a little and smiled softly as he remembered how Naruto always smiled and then about his older brother Itachi.
Sasuke looked forward, although his vision was blurry and he waited for the final blow, knowing he couldn't' move anymore because of his wounds and chakra.
The last thing Sasuke remembers seeing was a tuff of blond hair that tackled Takai to the ground as they both rolled meters away from Sasuke's current position.
Both separated as they slid back and came to a stop when they placed a hand on the ground to stop the movement. Both glared at each other with an intense will to only kill.
Both were know kneeled with a hand on the ground to support the rest of their body, as their eyes met. Takai's eyes widened a little when he noticed the features of this one.
Naruto stood there, but had canines, his nails had grown into claws as his eyes showed the intensively of hatred he felt. They were crimson red and ready to kill at any moment.
Kakashi and Sakura arrived on the site as they noticed a badly wounded Sasuke who stood on the ground and far away, Naruto facing an unknown male ninja.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled out not noticing Naruto or the other ninja
Sakura ran towards Sasuke as she kneeled next to him and tried to help him as she could. Kakashi looked over at Sasuke and saw how much wounded he actually was and then looked back at the two ninjas, to notice certain changes in Naruto.
"Kyubi's chakra is leaking out ........." Kakashi let out with worry
Over at the demon and Naruto, both stared at each other for a few minutes as one finally broke the silence.
"Kyubi" Takai let out with a very pissed off tone
"Takai" Naruto answered as he remained in control of his body
TBC

*Sasuke's House* ---15 minutes later---
Sasuke unlocked his door, as he walked inside the house with only one purpose, to grab a few things to take over at Kakashi's place. The usual coldness appeared the moment he stepped into it. Everything was dark, as he prepared to light up the room so he wouldn't trip on something.
As he made his way towards the switch, he heard a few cracking sounds in the living room. Instinctively, he grabbed a few kunais and immediately shot them into the darkness where the sound came from.
He stood there for a few minutes, in his fighting stance, sicne he had not heard his kunais hit anything, which wasn't normal.
The next thing he noticed, was the kunais coming back in his direction. He reached within his holster to grab another one, as he blocked everyone of them.
"Who's there?" Sasuke asked coldly
The person who hid within the darkness took a few steps forwards and opened his eyes. Through the darkness, Sasuke saw those red eyes that glared at him, which made him uncomfortable.
"I've been waiting for you, Uchiha Sasuke" Takai commented with a wide smile
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha's hospital*
--- Iruka's Bedroom ---
Iruka sat down on his bed, as he urged Naruto to do the same. Naruto knew that how he reacted earlier made his former sensei worry, and didn't whine about it. He jumped back on the bed, as he sat next to Iruka but never looked once into his eyes.
"Naruto, how did you........." Iruka started to ask as looked at Naruto
"Kyubi" Naruto let out before Iruka had asked completely his question
"Kyubi? What does Kyubi have to do with this?" Iruka asked a bit worried and surprised
"I don't want to talk about it........." Naruto answered as he lowered his head
"Naruto........." Iruka called him out as he placed a hand on the blonde's shoulder
"Look, all I know is that thing that attacked you has something to do with him. So can we not talk about it?" Naruto pointed to his stomach and then asked with an angry voice
Iruka noticed the boy didn't feel like talking about it, so he dropped the subject as his bedroom door opened and revealed Sakura, with a nurse who stood behind the young female.
"Are you both alright?" The nurse asked both males
"Well, we wanted to know if we could get our discharged papers to leave as soon as possible." Iruka requested
"I don't see any trouble since Hatake-san will be taking care of you." The nurse replied while Sakura sat down on a chair and scanned the room for a certain boy
"Arigatou" Iruka thanked her
"If you'll wait here, I'll go get them. As for you Naruto-kun, you should go pack up the things you have in your own room so you'll be ready to leave ne?" The nurse smiled at him
Naruto smiled back, as he rushed out of the room, pass the nurse to start packing right away. Iruka smiled at how the boy could still be hyperactive after what happened.
The nurse left, as only Sakura and Iruka remained in the room.
"Ne Iruka-sensei?" Sakura started with a low voice
"Yes Sakura?" Iruka placed his attention on her
"Where's Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked more worried about the Uchiha than the fact Naruto was up on walking as if nothing happened
"Sasuke went at his house to grab some stuff. He'll be staying with Kakashi- sensei like myself and Naruto." Iruka answered a bit angered by her worries for a boy more than her own teammate
"Then I'll go join him!" Sakura said with a smile as she prepared to leave when Iruka glared at her
"Sakura, Sasuke doesn't need you for gathering his clothes. You should be more worried about your teammate that was, moments ago, in an unconscious state, than for a boy that knows too well how to defend himself." Iruka told Sakura with a serious tone
Sakura could only go back to her seat and remain silent as she knew all too well what Iruka had just told her, was true. Silence then consumed the room, as Iruka sighed in relief and waited for Naruto to come back with his things.
--- Naruto's Hospital Bedroom ---
Naruto looked around as he grabbed the few things he had with him and stuffed them into a bag. He then placed the bag on the bed, as he made his way towards the window to take a peek outside.
"Ne Kyubi, now that we're alone, I want to know about that Takai........." Naruto whispered to himself in hopes the fox was listening
"You sure don't waste any time........." The fox growled
"Look, that thing is attacking people I care about!" Naruto started to argue
"You made your point, so close your eyes, and you'll see........." Kyubi ordered the boy
Naruto stopped arguing as he closed his eyes. Red chakra started to appear around him, as he felt the extra power within his body. His vision went from black to a lot of colors.
============================================================================ ======================
*FLASHBACK*
In a far away place, a place where humans were not present, a giant fox growled, as he swung his nine tails to the ground, almost causing an earthquake.
On the other side, stood a great coyote that seemed enraged by the presence of the fox. His eyes were glaring red as both canines and claws were as sharp as those of the foxes.
Both stood their ground, as the fox swung it's tail to get the trees in front of him, out of his way. The trees flew in the air as well as dirt. Soon, no trees were in the way as the fox took a step forward and growled again.
The battlefield was being prepared under the grace of the darkest sky. The only thing that could illuminate the ground was the brightness of the full moon, that once in a while pierced the darkest clouds.
"Turn around while you can Takai" The fox ordered with a serious tone
"This territory doesn't only belong to you Kyubi" Takai replied as he took a few steps forward to minimize the gap between them
"I defeated your father or have you forgotten?" Kyubi asked with a little grin
"I could never forget the humiliation you gave my kind, and for that you will pay" Takai stated as he leaned forward and prepared to pounce
"Then I guess the Coyote demons will end with your death" Kyubi let out as he observed carefully his opponent
Loud thunder was heard as rain started to fall. When the first droplet hit the ground, it was at that precise moment their great battle would start.
Both charged forward as they tried to bite each other at first as they waved their clawed paws form time to time. Kyubi opened his mouth once more as he managed to get a bite on the coyote's shoulder. Takai growled as his opponent's canines sank into his furry flesh and blood slowly came out of it.
Takai quickly reacted as he prepared to sank his own claws into the fox's faces. Kyubi saw the paw coming as he let go of his enemy. Kyubi took a few steps back as he countered the attack with his own claws.
The moment those paws connected, a great deal of wind washed out around them, as they struggled for dominance over the other. Both growled loudly as Kyubi retreated his own paw and claws.
Upon retreating his own paw, the coyote smiled as he saw the opportunity to overcome the fox. He charged forward again with both paws, as Kyubi had turned his back to him.
"You're as dumb as your father........." Kyubi let out with a smile
Takai didn't understand at first, when in a quick movement, Kyubi placed his paws against the ground and swung his nine tails straight at the coyote. Takai's eyes widened as he didn't foresee this attack. The nine tails struck him hard, as his face met the dirty soil.
Takai prepared himself to stand up again when Kyubi's mouth had him in a death grip, around his neck. Takai didn't dare to move on the moment, when the fox stepped on the coyote's back to ensure he stayed down.
"If you coyotes would have learned to stay away from my grounds, then you wouldn't be the last one alive." Kyubi mumbled as he sank once more his claws into the coyote's back
The coyote stayed quite but as he felt his flesh being torn apart again, his body reacted instinctively and jerked up, pushing the fox off balance and away from himself.
The fight continued several minutes, as the fox had the upper hand. Blood splattered everywhere but most of it belonged to Takai, and the wounds that Kyubi had inflicted from the beginning of their battle.
Despite the chakra Takai had, after a long battle, his chakra started to diminish as his wounds couldn't heal as fast as usual due to the many he already had and kept appearing on his entire body.
Kyubi charged forward again without any second thought, as Takai saw an opening and took advantage of it. Takai's claws connected with the left side of Kyubi's face as the coyote then smiled.
"You shouldn't leave an opening" Takai commented
Takai's claws sank into the fox's cheek, leaving three fresh bloody marks, but when Takai looked to see the expression on Kyubi's face, all he saw was the fox smiling.
"Don't underestimate me like the rest of you filthy coyotes" Kyubi let out
Despite his minor wounds, Kyubi had took the hit willingly as he turned his head quickly and took a bite out of Takai's neck. Blood gushed out as the coyote screamed form the pain.
Takai's vision became blurry as he had lost too much blood and as much chakra he wanted to gather, it wouldn't heal most of his sever wounds. The coyote was unbalanced as he had no other choice but to sit down on the ground and try t focus on his enemy's move.
Kyubi had the upper hand as he was winning over his enemy. He rushed towards the coyote and slapped him multiple times, giving the demon more wounds, to the point Takai could no longer remain on his four paws.
The last blow put Takai to the ground, as Kyubi hovered over the dying corpse. The coyote laid on his right side, as Kyubi grinned at the enemy he had defeated.
"You should've stayed away, but at least I want have to deal with coyotes anymore" Kyubi let out as he opened his mouth to show his bloody canines and prepared to deliver the last blow
"I can't let that fox win and dishonor the coyote clan anymore!" Takai thought as he struggled to see clearly
As a desperate move, Takai gathered chakra to his canines as he managed to lift his head enough so that his teeth would connect with Kyubi's neck.
The fox growled at this new pain that struck him as he had not planned for this to happen. He felt the chakra entering his body through the bite as he pulled away and slapped the coyote's head. Kyubi's claws made damage, as his right side of the face was cut along with his eye badly damaged.
"I was careless for a moment, I won't do the same mistake twice." Kyubi let out as his chakra healed his wounded neck
Takai got up on his paws, as he slowly backed away from the fox. Takai knew but also felt, he was going to die if this continued, and with his strength and low chakra, he couldn't defeat the fox today.
Kyubi observed the coyote as he also looked behind him, to notice a deep gap to god knows where. Kyubi smiled as he prepared to charge again, but this time, to kill in one movement.
Takai then stopped moving, as his back paws almost fell in the air, as he leaned his head towards the right to notice the endless cave.
"Now you die" Kyubi let out as he turned around to strike Takai with his nine tails
By instinct, Takai evaded as he could the strike but by doing so, his rear started to feel in the hole. As he started to fell, the coyote managed to take hold of the ledge, as his claws desperately tried to hand onto to the ground so he wouldn't fall to his death.
Kyubi advanced to the edge as he placed his own front paws over those of the barely hanging coyote and smiled. For the moment, Kyubi was the one that was preventing the demon from falling into a bottomless pit, since his claws were greatly stabbed within the coyote's paws.
"Too bad, your father gave more of a fight then you" Kyubi whispered before he violently pushed the demon away
As the demon fell into the darkness, Kyubi stood on the side and felt the slight pain where the coyote had bit him.
"Fortunately for me, he wasn't able to complete that curse........." Kyubi thought before he left the scene
*END OF FLASHBACK*
============================================================================ ======================
*Naruto's Hospital Bedroom*
Naruto sat down as he touched the side of his neck where Kyubi had originally been bitten.
"So why is he still alive?" Naruto asked a bit confused
"That, even I don't know how it's possible kit." Kyubi answered honestly
"So what's that curse you talked about?" Naruto asked
"That was the coyote's greatest ability. When they know they're about to die, they gather chakra to their canines and bite their opponent. When the caster dies, the curse is activated and thus the opponent soon follows 48 hours after." Kyubi answered
"So, he's really that dangerous huh?" Naruto asked
"........." Kyubi stayed silent
"I better get back, Iruka-sensei will worry, and Sasuke should be coming back soon too" Naruto smiled as he grabbed his things and went back to Iruka's room
"I feel guilty to bring you more pain little one........." Kyubi thought but Naruto never heard it
============================================================================ ======================
*Somewhere*
The leader of the rebel ninjas in search of power, the Ryuza clan, stood near the window when he felt the presence of another in his quarters.
"What is it?" The leader asked
"Forgive me my lord, but we lost track of the demon." The ninja answered
"Leave" The leader ordered him
"But my lord!" The ninja started to protest but the leader gave him a deadly glare
"Find Takai and bring him to me. The three brothers will accompany you sicne they know how to handle Takai. Now leave before I have you killed." The leader demanded
The ninja didn't dare to protest once more as he decided to leave before he would get killed by the leader.
"I have to put a leash on that coyote........." The leader though as he remembered how he came to acquire Takai
============================================================================ ======================
*FLASHBACK*
At the bottom of cliff, a small coyote laid in a pool of his own blood. He was the size of a wolf, as his eyes were slightly opened and his ears listened to his surroundings.
"To think I had to make myself smaller to save my chakra........." Takai let out when he heard a branch crack
He lifted his head to see a tuff of brown hair emerge from the forest, a few meters away from his own position. Takai rested his head on the ground as he closed his eyes but followed every sound the human made, as one thought crossed his mind.
"Curse that fox to make me go as low as this........." Takai thought as he waited for the human to come even closer
"What the hell is that thing?" The male asked as he was right at the demon's body
The male kneeled in front of the demon as he touched the neck to verify if it still had a pulse.
"Seems like he's still alive. My lord what do we ........." The male started to yell out to the forest as he heard a growl
The males attention turned back to the coyote, as his eyes widened when it showed it's bloodied canines.
"You shall be a suitable host........." Takai growled
The male didn't know quite how to react when Takai launched himself directly at the male's throat as blood gushed out and fell on the ground and inside the demon's mouth.
The male laid on his back as his weak hands reached out to the demon's throat, but had no strength to struggle more, as he felt a huge power cross his entire body.
"Naze.........?" He managed to ask as he felt so confused
"Because I have no desire to die before I revenge my father" Takai answered
The male's body jerked up and then was numb, as no more movements occurred. Slowly, the coyote himself started to fade away into some sort of chakra and entered inside the male by the wound on his neck.
After several minutes, the coyote was no more, as the boy sat up and the wound on his neck healed. He then placed his hand upon the wound and slowly stood up when more voices came.
"Man we didn't hear ya right?" A ninja stepped out of the forest
A few ninjas followed in his step, which included the younger versions of Toshin, Tonai and Tenshi of the Ryza clan, followed by the current leader of the clan.
"Are you depth or something?" The nija asked as he placed a hand on the male's shoulder
The moment his hand made contact with the male's shoulder, the male turned around as he took hold of the hand and broke it. The ninja screamed as he tried to get out of the painful grip.
"What the hell is wrong with him!?" Tenshi asked ready to engage in battle
The male let go of his grip on the ninja and turned to face the remaining ninjas. He then revealed his eyes, they glowed of a crimson red and hid an evil smile.
The three brothers prepared their weapons as they were about ready to engage in battle, when the leader raised his hand to prevent them from doing something they might regret.
"Name yourself" The leader demanded
"No human needs to know my name" The male stated
"Demon?" Tonai let out
"If it's a demon how did it take possession of that guy's body?" Tenshi asked
"Leave before I kill you" Takai warned them now in possession of a new body
The leader didn't listen to the warning as he saw that even after the demon took possession of the body, he remained weak because of his previous state. Takai's hands shook a little as his true wounds only started to heal.
"You're too weak to kill us. So tell us which demon you are" the leader demanded an answer
Deep down, Takai knew that the human leader was correct, but for now he saw no danger for the moment coming from them except for that Tonai ninja.
"Takai, the Coyote demon" Takai replied with a growl
"Interesting......... Then I offer you a deal demon" The leader started
"I will never lower myself to you humans" Takai replied with anger as he started to be agitated
"As you wish, we will kill you immediately then." The leader replied as he motioned the three brothers to kill him
The three brothers advanced towards Takai, as Takai prepared as wel. The three brothers formed a triangle around the demon as they had a hand placed on their weapons.
"This is your last chance, although I'd prefer you alive" the leader repeated to the demon
"Why would humans need a demon for?" Takai asked
"We are of the Ryuza clan, we seek power and the power we seek right now is that of the grea nine tails demon fox, Kyubi." The leader informed
Upon hearing the name Kyubi, his ears twitched as his fists closed and shaked.
"Alone, we know we'll have trouble to obtain him, but I remember hering of a Coyote demon who seek revenge for his father against this demon. Wouldn't it be better if we worked together? That way we both obtain what we want" The leader offered
"Don't you even care that I stole this human body for my personal needs?" Takai asked
"Iie, do as you wish with it. The fact that you caught the boy off guard shows that he wasn't strong enough to be part of our clan. But if you agree to this deal, certain terms apply." The leader informed the demon
"And those would be?" Takai asked fearing the worse
"For all I care you can kill anyone you want, as long as they aren't allies with my clan or are members of the clan. To make sure you value these terms and not brake them, we will use a certain force." The leader informed him
"Your terms are acceptable but one thing changes." Takai demanded
"Yes?" The leader asked
"I only take orders form you and no one else. If any of your men hinder me in any way, I won't hesitate to kill them" Takai requested the change
"Agreed, As for you?" The leader asked
"Agreed, but once Kyubi is dealt with, I'm no longer under your control" Takai stated as he glared at the three brothers
The leader nodded as they finally came in agreement. The three brothers then each placed two fingers on the demon's neck, as they made one hand seals and began a jutsu.
"What is this!?" Takai yelled out as he found himself paralyzed and pain shot in his neck
"To make sure you don't brake our agreement. This curse will remain until we acquire what we desire. Only then, will the curse be removed." The leader specified
Takai growled before he fell on his knees and darkness consumed him. Tonai grabbed the demon as the two other brothers wondered what they should now do.
"Bring him back with us, with him in our clan, acquiring more strength and powers will be much easier, especially when it will come to Kyubi" The leader informed the brothers as they headed back to camp
*END OF FLASHBACK*
============================================================================ ======================
*The Leader's Chambers*
The leader took a deep breath as he remembered the deal he made, but as the years passed, the demon became impatient as he seemed to hold a personal grudge against Kyubi.
"He better respect the rules, or I'll be forced to use that curse on him." The leader told himself as he went towards his desk and sat down
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
"Who's there?" Sasuke asked coldly
The person who hid within the darkness took a few steps forwards and opened his eyes. Through the darkness, Sasuke saw those red eyes that glared at him, which made him uncomfortable.
"I've been waiting for you, Uchiha Sasuke" Takai commented with a wide smile
By instinct, Sasuke reached within his holster to grab a kunai, as he also activated his Sharingan.
"Don't expect any help from them" Takai showed the three bloody corpses of Anbu with his eyes
"Why are you here?" Sasuke asked coldly
"The boy you slept with, I have a thing for him" Takai replied as he observed the reaction he would get out of the Uchiha
"If you want to hurt Naruto, then you'll have to go through me first" Sasuke replied
"I was hoping you would say that" Takai softly said with an evil smile
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha's Hospital*
--- Iruka's Room ---
Naruto entered the room with a bright smile, when he noticed the silence that ran in it.
"Is something wrong?" Naruto asked a bit worried
--- Poff ---
Kakashi appears in the room as he waved his hand to greet them.
"Hinata-chan is doing fine and ........." Kakashi started to explain when Iruka interrupted him
"We know, Naruto told us." Iruka informed the Juunin
"Ah, so is everything ok here?" Kakashi asked with a hidden smile
"We're just waiting for Sasuke to return from his home" Naruto answered
Kakashi lifted an eyebrow but remembered that A team of three Anbu members were following Sasuke wherever he went.
"Then I guess we wait!" Kakashi smiled
Naruto stood in front of his current sensei, as his former sensei still sat on the bed, and a very silent Sakura sat down on a chair still trying to digest the harsh words of her former sensei.
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
Takai brought his fingers to his mouth as he licked the blood of the Anbu off of them and then smiled at Sasuke.
"After I kill you, I can't wait to get my hands on that blond boy and lick his blood." Takai continued to tease Sasuke
The demon continued to talk how he would torture poor Naruto and Sasuke could no longer suppress the anger he felt towards the demon and without second thought, he charged at the demon.
Kunai in hand, Sasuke threw it towards the demon, well knowing that he would dodge it. He placed his hand in front of his mouth and blew flames from it towards where the demon had landed.
"Did I get him?" Sasuke asked himself while he looked at the blazing fire
"No human can beat me........." Takai's voice came from behind Sasuke
Sasuke's eyes widened as he quickly turned around to face the demon in time to block the attack, but he still found the claws of his enemy cut him deeply in the arm he used to block with.
Sasuke then took the moment to flip backwards and landed on his feet, while he had a hand pressed against his wounded arm and glared back at the demon.
"Your blood......... It's been too long since I had Uchiha blood to drink ........." Takai let out as he prepared to strike again
"For once, Kakashi might have been right........" Sasuke thought as the pain in his arm continued
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha's Hospital*
--- Iruka's Room ---
"Tell you what Naruto, I'll treat you to some ramen tomorrow since it's been a while since we ate any" Iruka informed the boy
"Really!? Arigatou Iruka-sen ........." Naruto started as he was about to jump up and down
When Naruto didn't finish his sentence, Iruka looked worried when he saw Naruto's eyes change completely of expression.
Naruto had seen a quick image of a wounded Sasuke and started to panic a little. His eyes were plastered with a blank expression as Kakashi placed a hand on his student shoulder to make sure he was alright.
"Kyubi........" Naruto whispered before he fell to his knees while he clutched the fabric of his shirt
--- Inside Naruto ---
Naruto kneeled before the cage, as Kyubi observed carefully the boy before him once more.
"Boy, Takai must be attacking someone new, and that could only be that Uchiha brat. Do something before you go into another trance" Kyubi urged the blond
"Why am I so helpless?" Naruto asked himself as the pain increased
"Brat! Stab yourself or something! The pain will prevent you from blacking out again" Kyubi demanded as he hit the bars to wake up the blond
Naruto looked up, as his eyes showed slowly how he faced Sasuke that was a bit wounded at first, but could feel the sweet blood on his lips.
"NOW!" Kyubi yelled out
---Back in the room ---
Iruka jumped out of bed as Sakura was too freaked out to go through this thing again. Kakashi kneeled in front of his student as he talked to him but Naruto never answered.
Before any of them knew what Naruto was doing, it was already too late. Naruto had quickly grabbed a kunai from Kakashi's holster and pointed it towards himself with pain in his eyes.
"Naruto!" Iruka yelled out
Naruto stabbed himself in the hand as the blood fell both on the floor and across Kakashi's face. Iruka took hold of the bloody kunai and threw it on the floor as he grabbed Naruto by the shoulders and shook the boy hard.
"What the hell are you thinking!?" Iruka started to scold the boy
Naruto violently slapped Iruka's hands off him as he simply rushed out of the room as he headed to an unknown destination.
"What ........." Iruka let out as he was himself in shock
"Iruka, stay here, Sakura, follow me, we're going after Naruto" Kakashi ordered his student
Sakura nodded although she still had trouble assimilating what had just occurred. Before Iruka could object of not coming with them. Sakura was looking away for a moment, as Kakashi knew how the Chuunin was attached to Naruto, so he made his move to make sure he wouldn't follow especially in his condition.
Kakashi leaned forward as he cupped Iruka's cheek gently and gave the Chuunin a quick kiss. Kakashi had grabbed Sakura and they disappeared from the room. Iruka stood there and blushed as he realized Kakashi had actually kissed him.
"Bring him back safely Kakashi........." Iruka thought as he fell on his bed and let out a deep breath
============================================================================ ======================
*Konoha Streets*
Naruto ran as fast as he could as he knew he needed to get to Sasuke's house before he was too late again.
"Kyubi! If anything bad happens, can I count on your power?" Naruto asked
"If you go up against Takai, then you'll need more than my power little one ........" Kyubi stated
---- Not Too Far Away ----
Kakashi and Sakura ran on the rooftops as they still sensed the chakra trail of Naruto and followed him closely in hopes to not loose his trail.
"His chakra's a little strange........" Kakashi thought before continuing their pursuit
============================================================================ ======================
*Sasuke's House*
After a long fight, Sasuke had struggled to only dodge the attacks of the demon thanks to his Sharingan but he still retained many cuts. His chakra was almost depleted as he couldn't even conjure up a fire jutsu.
Sasuke's Sharingan then faded away, as the boy panted hard and tried to keep up on his feet, while he still had a hand pressed against his main wound.
"I see that you're beginning to tire Uchiha Sasuke" Takai let out as he roamed near his prey, ready to strike the finishing blow
Before Sasuke could respond, Takai had vanished from his sight and Sasuke started to worry a little, when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and pain shot through his neck.
Takai had reappeared behind the boy as he held him in place by putting pressure on his shoulders. He then wanted to taste more this blood and sank his canines into Sasuke's pale and delicate neck like a vampire feeding off it's victim.
Sasuke yelled out in pain as he managed to get out of the demon's grip, but remained unbalanced. Takai charged forward immediately as his clawed hand connects with Sasuke's jaw and sends him flying outside the house.
--- Outside Sasuke's House ---
Sasuke landed roughly on his back but rolled many times before he met a tree that stopped him from sliding any further. Sasuke barely managed to lift himself to his knees, as his hand now covered the wound on his neck, his eyes were unfocused and almost closed due to the pain.
Takai slowly walked out of the house as Sasuke's blood still filled his mouth and ran down to his neck. Takai made sure to lick the blood from his lips as now he was prepared to kill with the next blow.
"This is the end of you life" Takai let out as he charged forward with sharp claws, aiming for Sasuke's neck
Sasuke's expression softened as his eyes were a complete blank like the first time he had shielded Naruto during their fight with Haku. Sasuke then leaned forward a little and smiled softly as he remembered how Naruto always smiled and then about his older brother Itachi.
Sasuke looked forward, although his vision was blurry and he waited for the final blow, knowing he couldn't' move anymore because of his wounds and chakra.
The last thing Sasuke remembers seeing was a tuff of blond hair that tackled Takai to the ground as they both rolled meters away from Sasuke's current position.
Both separated as they slid back and came to a stop when they placed a hand on the ground to stop the movement. Both glared at each other with an intense will to only kill.
Both were know kneeled with a hand on the ground to support the rest of their body, as their eyes met. Takai's eyes widened a little when he noticed the features of this one.
Naruto stood there, but had canines, his nails had grown into claws as his eyes showed the intensively of hatred he felt. They were crimson red and ready to kill at any moment.
Kakashi and Sakura arrived on the site as they noticed a badly wounded Sasuke who stood on the ground and far away, Naruto facing an unknown male ninja.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled out not noticing Naruto or the other ninja
Sakura ran towards Sasuke as she kneeled next to him and tried to help him as she could. Kakashi looked over at Sasuke and saw how much wounded he actually was and then looked back at the two ninjas, to notice certain changes in Naruto.
"Kyubi's chakra is leaking out ........." Kakashi let out with worry
Over at the demon and Naruto, both stared at each other for a few minutes as one finally broke the silence.
"Kyubi" Takai let out with a very pissed off tone
"Takai" Naruto answered as he remained in control of his body
TBC

Arbil : I updated as fast as I could! Hope you liked this chapter since I still think it's crappy after rewriting the thing many times.....
Next Chapter : Takai Part 3
The battle between Naruto and Takai begin, as Sasuke starts to suspect something's wrong with Naruto that he doesn't know about!
READ AND REVIEW PEOPLE
I update as I can, managing 5 stories is really hard people ! So please don't stop reviewing because I sometimes update once every 3 weeks
THANK YOU AGAIN
UNTIL NEXT TIME
