GATHER AND REJOICE, FOR I HAVE RETURNED AT LAST FROM FAR AWAY LANDS!

Hey there people. Did you miss me? You better have. I have to apologize for the week without updating. I ran into some unforseen trouble and ended up without my own computer for a while. I've got it all squared away now and I don't plan to be away that long again. Now on to more pressing buisness.

I've got a bone to pick with the 241 people who have hit this story and not reviewed. I know Shang's been reviewin, and he's my official homie. As for the rest of you...I'm very dissapointed. I need your reviews. From now on, I'm gonna need some extra reviews to update. Shang doesn't count because he already updates. Sorry man, I just need diversity. Right now I'm going to give you a double update to apologize for being away without telling you but just know that non-reviewers...you have been warned...Hope you enjoy!

I don't own Naruto, or much for that matter. One time I thought I owned something, but then it turned into one of those 'area/period in time of the dead' movies, except with lawyers and angry japanese people. Don't worry, we settled it without automatic weapons.

Junichi was in complete darkness, walking towards absolutely nothing, through absolutely nothing. To his right a large luxurious looking couch and a beautiful woman in a red dress appeared out of what appeared to be smoke. The woman had long red hair and wine red eyes. Her skin was very pale and her dress showed a lot of cleavage. She had a strange aura about her.

"Come over here boy," The woman said seductively as she patted an empty spot of couch right next to her "I don't bite unless I'm hungry."

"Who are you and what the hell do you want with me," Junichi said as he stood in front of her calmly "Are you one of the ones who has been talking to me?"

"Ahhhh… so you do know me. I'm so glad we could finally meet formally Junichi." The woman said with a playful grin revealing her enlarged canines "You may simply call me Eva. If we get to know each other well, I might tell you my real name."

"Why are you here?" Junichi asked simply "What do you want with me? What is this place?"

"We are inside your own mind having a discussion." Eva said as she stretched across the couch "It is as the Gaara boy guessed. By the way, congratulations on beating him. It was no easy feat without our help. But back to topic, I am here because of your father. A long time ago he gave the demon king the soul of some woman in exchange for the power to pass into our realm. When he came over, thousands of demons challenged him. He defeated most of the minor ones. Since he was the most powerful human we had encountered in a while, we honored him. While he may not have been as strong as our upper echelon of demons, he was skilled for a human, and thus deserved respect for it. After many journeys in our land he proposed that he enlist the help of us, using his body as a vessel, and we could once again make our return to the human world."

"What does that have to do with me?" Junichi asked coldly "And there are demons here. The Kyuubi was a great demon that plagued my home before my father left."

"Ahhhh…the Kyuubi demon" Eva purred in her own seductive way "He is a demon of your world. More powerful than many of our greatest warriors. He had never even seen the demon land though. But I digress once again. I am here because I have agreed to join with you. I been watching you for a long time and I have decided that it is time that my power is granted to yours."

"You're here to help me?" Junichi asked warily "Then how do I become stronger? Is there any way to give my teammates this ability that has been handed to me?"

"Hm… always concerned with the strength of others…" Eva said, looking a little disappointed "Well, because we know of your desires to help them, we have helped them to awaken the demon in each of them, though neither are as powerful as the powers you will use. My own vampiric power will come to you when I deem fit. This is basically the introduction. When the time comes, I'll help you. After that you can train with my power. Now it is time for you to wake up. That little mission of yours is about to start and I'm sure you want to be up with your friends."

"Thank you Eva." Junichi said, bowing respectfully "I hope to be able to talk to you in the future."

"No sweat kid." Eva said with a smile "Just keep your nose clean and I'll do the rest. You'll get it in time. And remember, only once we die can we truly begin to live. And once we live again, we will transcend all forms of bondage. Ta Ta."

Junichi woke up quietly and began polishing and sharpening his fuuma shuriken. It would be a good mission, and with his new power, he knew he would come out of it with all his teammates intact.

Meanwhile

In a small room, lit with only a few candles Momochi Zabuza stood in front of his shadowed employer, trying to get out of his latest mission.

"The sand children, plus these unknown genin from Kohona…" Zabuza said nervously. "To go against these children would be certain death. I have no intentions of dying again."

"Silence Zabuza." The shadowed figure said coldly, sending shivers up the mist Nin's spine "Who found you nearly dead on a bridge? Who fooled sharingan Kakashi into putting a rock into the grave instead of your body? Who took you in? Who gave you a place in life? You will carry out this mission and you will not complain about it."

"I understand" Zabuza said, keeping his head held high "I will do as instructed. As always I am grateful to you."

Zabuza walked down the narrow tunnels and began thinking about his oncoming challenge. He was pretty sure he could take out most of them, but Gaara of the desert…He would have to do it quickly. He would have to single each one out. He was an assassin Nin at one time after all. He just had to keep telling himself he would get through it.

The shadowed man laughed evilly. He knew what was coming and knew that there was a fifty-fifty chance that Zabuza would win. He was gambling his greatest playing piece in a game he loved ever so much. He stepped into the light of one of the candles to look at a picture. The light revealed his shoulder length white hair, and hisstubble coveredface. He looked down at a picture of a very young Junichi and grinned like a demon.

"Finally" The man breathed "He comes at last to learn of his past, his heritage…I shall see how he has grown…. my son…I should expect great things from him…"

And with that, his evil laughter echoed down the tunnels, scaring even the insects into hiding. All of the missing Nin that had gathered in this place shivered, and knew that something bad was going to happen.

BWAHAHAHAHA! That's right, I did it. I know some of you are all like "WTF! HE CAN'T DO THAT!". But I'm here to tell you that I've done that and so much more...I feel kind of evil for it too. Bringing Zabuza back...Probably shouldn't have happened. What's gonna make you flip out even more is what happens to him waaaay later in the story...not gonna drop any hints though. I like to put you on the edge of your seats.

REVIEW OR DIE!
