Nark Nark Nark!!! I know the chapter I wrote before was short and sweet, but this chappie will be pretty long in its length. But hey, no-one's complaining!!! Ah yes, this is for Ghostninja85, this one is definitely for you.... And thanx to my favourite glomping golf stick!!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 3: Taking back what's mine
~ Later that night, 10:36pm; Night before the red moon ~
The Hokage sits outside her quarters, reading a report given to her from the hospital. Beside her stands Mahomaru (yes, the same nurse from chappie 1 & 2), a serious expression etched on her face. The air surrounding the village was eerily warm in the middle of winter, a sign that danger was rapidly approaching.
"So, is this information sufficient enough, Hokage?" the nurse asks as Tsunade sighed again, closing the report softly.
"Yes, this is enough information, but will the demons really attack tomorrow?"
"I believe so. The red moon is like a warp between the legendary demon realm, and the human world. This is when the demons can attack, as there will be very little to stop them."
Tsunade stands up, and gazes out into the cloudless night sky. "Very well, I will send the Anbu out tomorrow morning to find these demons before they can take Naruto." The nurse bows and turns to leave, but as soon as she gets to the door, the Hokage's voice stops her. "Mahomaru, your report stated that you moved Sasuke into Naruto's ward. Won't that put him at risk should the demons attack?"
The nurse turns to the Hokage, a smile gracing her face. "If anything, I believe Sasuke is Naruto's only hope of returning to normal..." She opens the door and leaves, returning to the hospital.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Next Morning: Day of the Red Moon*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Iruka and Kakashi stepped into the Hokage's office, their faces weary with worry. Tsunade had never seen two ninja's in such a state before, it almost saddened her. She stood up, a warming smile welcoming the two. "You called us, Tsunade?" Iruka spoke as Tsunade sat down again.
"Yes. I have sent the Anbu to look for the demons who are conspiring to take Naruto." Kakashi's facial expression quickly changed with those words. "There is nothing left to worry yourselves over."
"Why shouldn't we worry!!!!! Demons aren't always so easy to find, especially the demons that are after Naruto!!!" Kakashi shouted, his throat crackling with the lack of sleep. The Hokage slammed her hands on the desk, instantly silencing the Jounin.
"Kakashi I know about how devious demons can be, that's why I am sending you and Iruka to join the Anbu on their search. That is, if you want to." Tsunade was a little upset that Kakashi let his anger out on her, but she kept her composure. The two ninjas thought for a moment, before giving Tsunade her answer.
"We will accept your offer," Iruka announced as the Hokage smiled again. "Very good. The Anbu are awaiting your arrival outside." With this the two ninjas bowed and departed.
*Outside*
"Well Iruka, are you ready to take on some demons?" Kakashi asked, a grin appearing on his face after a week of sadness. Iruka smiled sweetly. Kakashi really wants to help Naruto. He has warmed up since he took team seven as his group....
"Let's get those demons," Iruka replied. Kakashi stopped and pulled Iruka to him, embracing his Chuunin lover. Before Iruka arrived, or rather, crashed into his life, Kakashi's heart was always so empty, so dark... Then a particular Chuunin found the Jounin crying in the middle of the street and invited him over for dinner. This was how the two ninjas became a pair, and that was how Kakashi liked it! The two arrived at the area where the Anbu were waiting. Let's get them... Iruka's mind echoed as he and Kakashi went on their mission: To destroy the demons.
*Meanwhile....*
It was always a myth that the morning sun would shine upon a person in order to cause the most discomfort. Today it was Naruto's turn. He groaned as he turned to Sasuke, who was still sleeping. The blonde's face lit up as he kissed his sleeping partner.
I couldn't possibly leave him... The Uchiha slowly opened his eyes and looked at his beloved. A smile crept upon Sasuke as he drew Naruto into a kiss. Sasuke thought this was heaven. Nothing had ever felt so good. The pulled away after a moment, looking down at each other.
"You know, tonight's the red moon," Naruto frowned as Sasuke spoke those words.
That's right...This is the night when she...
"Heh, but who says I'm goin'?" Naruto said with glee as he kissed his lover's forehead. Sasuke could do nothing but grin...
So he does want to stay... They were about to share another kiss when a familiar nurse stepped inside. She was surprised to see the two boys in such an awkward position, despite her knowing about the relationship.
"Sorry to interrupt, but Haruno is here to see you, so you'd get into your OWN bed Sasuke," she advised before closing the door again. Sasuke sighed in disappointment as she clambered off the blonde's bed.
"Don't worry Sasuke, once Sakura-chan's gone, we'll have some fun," Sasuke smiled as he climbed into his own bed. Soon Sakura entered the room, beaming as she saw the two boys, especially Sasuke. Despite the fact that she and Naruto had become better friends, she preferred the raven boy over the blonde, even if one of them were to live and the other were to die...
"Hello Naruto, hello Sasuke-kun!!!" She gleamed as she entered the room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So have you found any signs that demons were here?" Iruka asked one of the Anbu as they searched the Hokage mountain. They had searched throughout the village for ages, and now it was midday.
"Nothing yet." Iruka sighed with relief. Maybe the nurse was wrong, maybe... Iruka's thoughs were ceased as he heard the familiar tone of Kakashi's voice ring out.
"I found something!!!"
I thought too soon...Iruka cursed himself as he rushed to where he heard Kakashi was and he, along with the 3 Anbu members that were assigned to the search-and-destroy mission, would see something that would shake them to their knees. The group surrounded the paralyzed Jounin, all eyes were fixed on the object that Kakashi was holding. It was a scroll, but it was a deep purple in colour, and unlike any scroll that was used by ANY ninja. It also was lined with markings that weren't recognisable at all.
But the one signifigant part of the scroll was the one thing that would shake the group to their knees. In the middle was a small emblem, the golden eagle - the Insignia of the demon Eagle herself!!! The Jounin collapsed onto his knees, grief overcoming him in torrents.
"It's true...it's all true, Naruto is going back..." Iruka fell beside his lover, comforting him as the Jounin wept, hands clinging onto the discarded scroll.
***2 Hours Later - 4 hours before the red moon***
Naruto sat on his bed, his boredom increasing with each passing minute. Sakura had been in his and Sasuke's room since morning, and now it was 2 pm, and Naruto couldn't take the boredom anymore. He slowly walked to the door, grabbing the attention of the Uchiha and the pink-haired girl beside him.
"Naruto, where are you going?" Sasuke asked as Naruto turned around, opening the door.
"Just getting some fresh air...and some RAMEN!!!" He grinned, the newly formed on his face moving with his expression.
Sasuke just snorted and grinned back. "Dobe..." he said, seeing Naruto's grin turn into a smile.
No matter what Naruto, you'll always be mine....
As soon as Naruto closed the door however, Sakura moved closer to Sasuke, her face drawing closer to his.
"Now that he's gone, let's have some time with eachother." Her voice sounded erotic, but Sasuke would have no part in her games. He moved away from her, surprising th female ninja a little.
"Sakura... I don't think this is right."
"But Sasuke, no-ones around." Sasuke looked away from Sakura, with no-one but Naruto in his mind.
That's right... Naruto's all I want...
"No, Sakura. Besides, Naruto wouldn't..."
"Who cares about him. He's nothing to me." Sasuke's eyes widened as his mind registered those words...
"But... last night..."
"Oh, I didn't want to look heartless." A burst of anger suddenly arose from the Uchiha's heart.
She was faking her sadness... It was all for show...?
How dare she...
How fucking dare she...
"That's mean, Sakura..." came Sasuke's reply.
"I know Sasuke, but..." Sasuke stood up from his bed and glared at the pink haired girl. Anger glazing his raven eyes. This is when Sakura knew her words had infuriated him.
"You bitch... How dare you tell me this..." He started walking away, when he felt Sakura's hand on his back, her head resting on his shoulder blades.
"You're all I want, Sasuke-kun. Naruto isn't worth anything in my world..."
This was the final straw. he turned and slapped Sakura, his hand coming across her face in one swift move. They stood still as Sakura looked horrified, her right cheek burning.
"I don't ever want to see your face again," Sasuke hissed, turning his voice dangerously low.
"It's not like there's anyone else, right? Right?" Sakura's voice began hesitant and desperate. Was she too late? Did Sasuke find someone better than her?
"Yes, there is someone," the Uchiha said, before turning to Sakuran again, a twisted grin appearing on his face. "But is that any of your business?" With this he stepped outside of the room, leaving Sakura to herself.
*~*~*~*~
Naruto sat outside in the foyer, eating a can of instant Ramen. He looked outside the window beside him. The village was almost sirene, basking in the afternoon sun. He thought to himself as he gazed into the firey cloudless sky...
Is this what I have to give up tonight?
As his sank deeper into his thoughts the blonde felt a pair of arms slip around his waistline. He turned around to find an ebony forest of hair brush against his face.
"Sasuke? Aren't you supposed to be with Sakura?" The Uchiha sighed, nestling his face into Naruto's shoulder.
"I... I... Let's not talk about her anymore..." Naruto shut his eyes in relief. He didn't know what had drawn the boy standing beside him out, but he didn't care anymore. Naruto slowly turned to look into the eyes of the Uchiha. His lips enveloped in a warm, sweet kiss. Sasuke recognised that familiar taste of Ramen, Naruto's signature meal. Their lips parted, as they stood embracing, absorbing the warm glow that now wrapped itself around them both... Together.
"I could never give this up," sighed Naruto as he silently rested his head against Sasuke's chest, drowsing with the smooth rise and fall of it. Sasuke drew Naruto closer to him, wishing silently to himself that the moment would never end.
"Don't worry Naruto, you'll never have to," said Sasuke, reassuringly. Sasuke leaned over and gave Naruto a stolen kiss and tightened his grip on him, pulling Naruto into his world. They soon let go of one another, and Naruto looked up, showing off his playful grin. A grin that Sasuke had learnt, and grown, to love over the four years that they had known eachother.
"Can we go inside....? I'm hungry." Sasuke could do nothing but smile as he poked Naruto with his index finger. Naruto's stomach growled, another of his signature sounds.
"How about some Ramen?" suggested Sasuke.
"You read my mind." Naruto's grin lit up his face, and they walked back to the hospital, Sasuke's arm wrapped around Naruto's waist.
*~*~*~*~
*5:30pm- Half an hour before the red moon*
The proof that there were demons after Naruto was finally found, and now Kakashi, Iruka and the Anbu were searching for the demons themselves. Kakashi was especially desperate to find the demons, for nothing would upset his beloved Iruka more than to see his former student being forcefully taken away.
They searched for hours; inside the town, in the fields and even in the forests. 3 hours of searching and nothing, not even a demi-demon, appeared in their sights. The search team returned sadly to the Hokage mountain, their hopes fading as the sun quickly set.
"Any sign, Kakashi?" Iruka asked, his desparation becoming clear in his voice. Kakashi could only sigh in failure. Naruto would soon be taken by demons and all they could do was wait. But then again, this was Kakashi. He would not simply stand there and watch his student being taken away. He turned without saying anything, and headed into the town to search for the demons a third time. Iruka sighed sadly
You must really be suffering inside Kakashi...I know how you feel...
Iruka almost lost himself inside his thoughts, when one of the Anbu's snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Iruka, look at the sky!" Iruka looked at the new evening sky, his eyes widening with horror as the early stars revealed with them a horrid secret. In the horizon, a large, blood red coloured object began its ascent into the evening sky.
THE RED MOON!! IT'S HERE!!!!!
As Iruka and the 3 Anbu watched as the blood-stained orb rose to the sky, little did they know they were being watched by the very beings they were trying to destroy.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well well. They put so much energy into trying to eliminate us..."Chitose grinned evilly as she said this. The 3 demons were hiding in a large tree, their figures well hidden by the foilage. To her this was the day of reckoning, the day when she would have everything back the way she wanted. She turned to Nakaziu, who had fixed his eyes on something, and was looking at it with such intent. "I see you have found yourself a morsel Nakaziu...." The shark demon turned his head to the Eagle, smiling.
"You must know me very well, Lady..." He said as he watched his prey with intent. "Besides, this particular morsel looks enticingly....delicious." He licked his lips with intent, as Mao-neko sat beside him, yellow orbs full of mischief. The shark's blue hair swayed with the slight breeze, calming his nerves.
"Very well Nakaziu, you may have some 'fun' until Mao-Neko and I come back with our king," Chitose suggested, as Nakaziu's purple eyes started to glow in the darkness. With this Mao-Neko and Chitose disappeared, leaving Nakaziu to obtain his morsel - a certain dolphin like creature hint there!!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the tears of Iruka slowly streamed down his tanned cheeks, he heard the sound of screaming nearby. He turned to find that one of the Anbu was hit with a needle like object, piercing his chest completely. He collapsed onto the ground, blood streaming from his wound.
"Rae-kon!!!" The second Anbu cried as she ran to her fallen comrade. To Iruka's horror the mysterious murderer attacked from the trees. His movements were like the wind, so unpredictable, and he was extremely agile. With a swift movement of the hand, he threw another dart into the second Anbu's neck with precision and ease. She emitted a chocking noice before dropping to the ground. The shadowy figure of the murderer was almost frightening, as all the Chuunin could see were glowing purple eyes and a grin that were aimed directly at...him?? Iruka stood frozen in the night, as the third Anbu raced to attack the murderer.
"BASTARD!!! You'll pay for the deaths of Rae-kon and Mashiku!!!" He screamed. However the shadowy figure had other plans. He lifted his hand and performed a seal, emitting an evil grin as he did so.
"Tempest fin....."he whispered as the figure of a shark appeared from behind. It raced towards the Anbu at such a speed, the horrific shark figure going through the Anbu completely. The third Anbu stood there, froze, before blood started to ooze from where the fin had gone through him. He fell to the ground, but as he did so, he separated into two, his blood flying and falling in all directions, droplets of crimson blood landing on the frightened Chuunin. Iruka started backing away into a nearby lamp post, as the shadowy figure glided towards him. The indigo burning with content.
"So we finally meet for the first time, my little morsel," hissed the figure as it continued to close in on Iruka. The new light exposing the shape of the murderer. Iruka leant back to touch the lamp-post, the figure inching closer and closer to his prize.
"W... Why did you kill the Anbu?" the Chuunin stuttered, as the figure loomed ever closer, only inches between them. The almost demonic figure raised it's hand and stroked Iruka's face. Wiping fresh tears from his cheeks. He leaned his face close to the Chuunin's face, their heads making gentle contact.
"Because I only ever wanted to be alone with you... I had to do what I had to in order to get you... with me." With that the stranger planted a soft, hesitant kiss on Iruka's cheek.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Naruto and Sasuke spent the remaining three hours playing boardgames in the hospital foyer. Naruto sighed after losing another round of Chinese Checkers to his black haired counterpart.
"Awww... No fair!" Naruto said, as Sasuke smiled, victory embedded in his face.
"That's 25 rounds... in a row. Now you must fulfill the agreement," grinned Sasuke.
"Yeah yeah. I'll go get the Ramen now," moaned Naruto, as he got up. In truth, it had been a long time since Sasuke had enjoyed himself. Sasuke leaned back against the soft couch, smiling, and took in the happiness that filled his soul.
My happiness is all from you, Naruto. It's because of...
Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by the ear piercing sound of a loud explosion, followed by distressed screaming. The Uchiha instantly understood what the explosion was about. He ran to the source of the sound, fear coursing through his veins. He turned into the main foyer and a horrific scene instantly hit his eyes. Amidst the carnage, and limp, lifeless bodies, stood Naruto. Where there was once a wall, that kept the outside world outside, there was now a gaping hole. However it was the figures looming near the hole that haunted Sasuke the most. The tallest one was envoking Naruto to join them. The Uchiha could faintly hear what she was saying.
"Come Naruto... Come to the family you have always desired..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ha ha ha. Now that's Chapter 4, pretty long, but it's now time for a briefing on chapter 5. Next time on 'Calling All Demons' Naruto is taken back to the dark side. Kakashi watches in horror as he watches Iruka kidnapped by the mysterious demon. Sasuke finds that Mahomaru has become a victim in the explosion, and with the last of her energy she tells Sasuke what he needs to do to save Naruto. Will he succeed? Or will Naruto be lost to the demon world forever. Stay tuned!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 3: Taking back what's mine
~ Later that night, 10:36pm; Night before the red moon ~

"Tempest fin....."he whispered as the figure of a shark appeared from behind. It raced towards the Anbu at such a speed, the horrific shark figure going through the Anbu completely. The third Anbu stood there, froze, before blood started to ooze from where the fin had gone through him. He fell to the ground, but as he did so, he separated into two, his blood flying and falling in all directions, droplets of crimson blood landing on the frightened Chuunin. Iruka started backing away into a nearby lamp post, as the shadowy figure glided towards him. The indigo burning with content.
"So we finally meet for the first time, my little morsel," hissed the figure as it continued to close in on Iruka. The new light exposing the shape of the murderer. Iruka leant back to touch the lamp-post, the figure inching closer and closer to his prize.
"W... Why did you kill the Anbu?" the Chuunin stuttered, as the figure loomed ever closer, only inches between them. The almost demonic figure raised it's hand and stroked Iruka's face. Wiping fresh tears from his cheeks. He leaned his face close to the Chuunin's face, their heads making gentle contact.
"Because I only ever wanted to be alone with you... I had to do what I had to in order to get you... with me." With that the stranger planted a soft, hesitant kiss on Iruka's cheek.

Naruto and Sasuke spent the remaining three hours playing boardgames in the hospital foyer. Naruto sighed after losing another round of Chinese Checkers to his black haired counterpart.
"Awww... No fair!" Naruto said, as Sasuke smiled, victory embedded in his face.
"That's 25 rounds... in a row. Now you must fulfill the agreement," grinned Sasuke.
"Yeah yeah. I'll go get the Ramen now," moaned Naruto, as he got up. In truth, it had been a long time since Sasuke had enjoyed himself. Sasuke leaned back against the soft couch, smiling, and took in the happiness that filled his soul.
My happiness is all from you, Naruto. It's because of...
Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by the ear piercing sound of a loud explosion, followed by distressed screaming. The Uchiha instantly understood what the explosion was about. He ran to the source of the sound, fear coursing through his veins. He turned into the main foyer and a horrific scene instantly hit his eyes. Amidst the carnage, and limp, lifeless bodies, stood Naruto. Where there was once a wall, that kept the outside world outside, there was now a gaping hole. However it was the figures looming near the hole that haunted Sasuke the most. The tallest one was envoking Naruto to join them. The Uchiha could faintly hear what she was saying.
"Come Naruto... Come to the family you have always desired..."
