O.O!!! Duuude... man, I got so many reviews...much more than I expected. Especially for a 400 sumpting word entry...yay! Well, at your prompting (and the face of your threats...ehehe, I fear little pointy sticks), neways, yeah, this idea came to me a bit back and I decided to write the prequel to it (Freedom) and if all went well (which it did) I would write this...so, I love y'all and keep on doin' ur thing... (Reading and reviewing and shudders threatening) ehehe...enjoy!
New Life
Chapter 1
(Now just where did we leave off? Aha!)
"Yes...technically, you are, no were dead but...I'm not making any sense am I?"
The blonde smirked and shook his head.
"Cocky kit..." and other colorful, fragrant words much unsuited for this PG rating... (Awww...does Kyubi has a dirty mouth? Well of course...he's a demon after all)
"Ok" I started off again. "Let me introduce myself first...I am the one that has been watching you for all your life"
"Hmmm, are you my guardian angel?" he asked, rather densely, I sweat dropped, at both the stupidity of it as well as the irony...guardian angel indeed.
"I'll give you three clues insolent kit, it starts with K, ends with I and has yub in the middle and the first two don't count" 'there, that oughta do it!'
He scratched his head, "umm...k, I, yub, hmmm, put that together, that makes...Kyubi. Hmm, funny, isn't that the name of the...DAMN!" Personally, I think he's figured it out.
"Hehe, so, do ya mind filling me in on just what happened once you took over?" he finally asked warily...
"Ah, well, I killed them, no doubt but not anyone else so don't start bitching at me for that but it was after we died that there were some difficulties"
"Difficulties?"
"Well, not what I would call bad difficulties, in fact, this is rather great! Ok, let's just say that King Yama and I have had a chat. Because of what I'd done for you, he says that we can try again and live in Konoha as separate entities. You still have all of my power even though we are separated. We are expected to try to set things right and defeat 'the bad guys' in the end. The thing is, that you'll go back to being 5, meaning the rest of the world's backed up 12 years as well, and that's basically it"
"Wow" was all he said
"Yeah, I know, I'll have to be your guardian now, stupid brat. Meaning I'll have to take part in your stupid human customs and get a stupid human job and live as a stupid human" I said, rather irritated.
"Hey, I take personal offense to that! Not all humans are stupid, some are dumb, or hopeless, or idiotic. Wait...nevermind"
"I rest my case" I said, smirking at him.
"Humph, ya big bully" he said childishly. I grinned, this kid was amusing.
"Point being?" I asked coolly, mirth danced just underneath the surface.
"Arrugh! Teme! Where are we anyways?" He changed the subject.
"How the hell should I know? I just got stuck here after I met King Yama" if you'd like to know, I dislike not knowing things.
This was extremely odd. That was one of the dominant statements running through my mind right now. Another was 'this can't be happening' and yet another was 'wow'. Am I simple minded or what? Well, that's not really correct. I was actually very intellectual but it was fun seeing people frustrated by my 'stupidity' most people who knew me well knew that fact as well. As much as it bugged them, it was part of who I was and how I grew up.
I was also very grateful. There was so much I wanted to change, things I wanted to be right, stuff that could've been avoided. Now I can change it, make it right, avoid it. I could also train. If I started training years before I became genin, I would've been much stronger than before. Now I was given a chance to do just that.
Kyubi in humanoid form is different than I thought that he would be. Well, I had automatically assumed 'it' was a 'he' and so I guess I was right. He That was the only way to explain it. And dangerous as well. He had these slit red eyes and fangs as well. He looked to be about 18 years old so he was probably old enough to take care of me. He was fun as well, even though he made fun of me (most people did anyways).
So back to the present. Or past, whatever. I was in this room where colors zipped past me and I was sitting up on a bed. Looking down at my 5 year old bod, I figured I had a lot of physical conditioning to do before I could practice much of my preferred taijutsu. I had a lot of baby phat. It was cute but really wouldn't do. I jumped off the western style bed and the difference in height was very obvious. I walked around a bit. This took some getting used to after having a mature, fit body.
"Damn, this is going to be a bitch" I muttered to myself. Moments later, King Yama appeared in the room.
"So, are you all settled into your new bodies?" he asked, heartily, watching us.
"hn"
"Ugh, as settled as you can get into a body a metre shorter than before" he chuckled,
"Yes, well, you'll get used to it" he assured me.
"Anyways, I've got to tell you both something before I send you back to your world, it's important" he started, then he said,
"When I separated you into different bodies, your souls were already part- way mixed. I couldn't separate it completely so I split the mixed part. Because of this, you two have a special bond. It allows you to communicate with each other through telepathy. Another thing is that it also mixes your life energy. Because of this, if one of you were to die, both would die, as it would've been had you still been one being. The last thing is that some of Naruto's features will change to become more demonic to accommodate that part of Kyubi's soul. So when fully mature, he may have features like pointed ears, thicker whisker marks, slit pupils and so on, it won't be too bad though" he explained.
"Aa, well, I can live with that" I said after a pause.
"If I must" agreed Kyubi half-heartedly
"Excellent, you will now be taken back to your world" with that, he clapped his hands and a portal appeared. He gestured towards it so I stepped through, Kyubi following close behind.
We arrived in my old apartment, a small dingy place visited once a week by a 'caretaker' with some food.
"Well, come on, I do believe that we have to first visit the Hokage" I said cheerfully. I opened a window and leapt out of it. I landed perfectly but still, a jolt of shock spread through my limbs, slightly numbing them.
"Damn kid body" I mumbled to myself.
-Maybe you should've tried the door like normal people do then- suggested Kyubi, who was right behind me.
-Shut it fox, I'm used to doing this-
Only when we started walking again did I realize that I hadn't used my tongue to form the words.
As we walked through the streets, we attracted stares like magnets. To me, they were usually resentful, sometimes curious but never nice. To Kyubi, there was a variety of different kinds. Some were incredulous, others disgusted, some admiring, some simply inquisitive.
We got to the Hokage tower without delay but were stopped at the entrance by two ANBU guards. One had a mask of a weasel, the other was a bird of sorts. The bird spoke first. "You shall not speak with the Hokage, freak"
"Who are you to make that decision?" I bit back, annoyed. He didn't answer; instead he extracted a kunai from a pouch and flung it at me. My reflexes worked no matter the state of my body. I caught it easily just as the Hokage stepped out.
"What is the meaning of this?" He asked the ANBU member. "You are not authorized to deny someone to speak to me when I am not busy and defiantly not to attack an innocent boy unprovoked"
Bird-head bowed his head, "Hardly innocent Hokage-sama, he is the nine- tails boy"
"What is your point? It is not his fault. The Yondaime could've sealed that demon in anyone. It could've been you or your child. Would that make you guilty? He is the hero of the village. For this, you are stripped of your ANBU rank. An ANBU that does not abide by laws cannot be trusted with the important matters that the rank deals with"
"dem-Yes Hokage-sama" he said meekly and slipped away to...someplace.
"That was not necessary Hokage-sama" I said calmly, "he did not truly hurt me"
The old man frowned, "but he forgot his place and so forgot the principles of an ANBU"
"Aa, may I request an audience with you Hokage- sama?"
"Of course Naruto, anytime but what about your friend there"
"Oh, that is what I wanted to discuss..."
Meanwhile the other weasel ANBU watched in interest to the situation unfolding...
To be continued...
Hewo everyone! How was the first chapter? Is it interesting? Is it original? I really don't want to do something already done so if you know something that has the same kind of storyline, please tell me . I'm only, what 12? So my writing isn't going to be that good, neither will my ideas. Yeah, I'm pretty young, what's your point? Please mention any mistake or anything that disturbs you as well. I like any reviews, they are really what keeps me going at this and their support tells me that there are actually people who read this, neways, I'm rambling,
Signing off,
