Mine Alone
A Yang Production
To Release the Kyuubi You must trap the Soul
You must Slay a Lamb
You must collar the Kyuubi
But most importantly
Do not let the Vessel's beloved
Call Out Their Name
The words echoed in my head as I leaned against the damp cave wall.
Cough Cough " Oh fuck! Of all things to happen to me!" I clutched my chest as I bent over from the pain of cough. Cough Cough
Brat, you are a weak human.
" Oh shut the hell up Kyuubi-san!" Automatically I reached up and grabbed the pendant that hung around my neck. As I squeezed it, Kyuubi snapped his jaws in pain. " Don't you talk like you know me!" My body jerked forward as my hand flew to my mouth. Coughing became more painful with every minute and being in this damp cave did little to help me. The Chakra pills I had stolen from Choji did nothing for the sickness and left me in worse state than before.
It's not my fault that you can not fight off the smallest sickness. I do not get sick.
" Do you want to know what it is like to get sick then Kyuubi-san…" My hands played with the medium. Upon seeing it he calmed down to mere muttering.
" Now for your guests," I trudged my way over and removed the binding scrolls. Akamaru leapt at me in a futile attempt to protect his master, I snapped my fingers and a full grown fox pinned him to the wall.
" AKAMARU!" Kiba shouted. I could barely see him in the darkness. Deciding that the only way I could talk to them was to light a candle, I hid my face. They shielded their eyes from the brightness, and I saw Kiba trying to pry my little pet off Akamaru.
" Rest east Kiba-san. As long as Akamaru does not attack me he will not die." Rings of earth bound the young pup to the cave wall.
" You sick twisted murderer! You'll have to kill me before you lay a signal finger on Akamaru!" He stood in front of me so I could not reach out and slay the cute little fury one.
" What kind of person do you think I am? Akamaru has done nothing to Naruto. I would never raise my hand against the cousins of Kyuubi-san. It is you that must die." I turned to Neji who had his Byakugan activated. He stood in stunned silence.
" What do you see Neji-san?" I cocked my head to a side as I approached him. " Do you now understand what the face of death is?"
" But you're- " A piece of paper was wrapped around his mouth , winding around his head and sealed behind his right ear.
" Tsk tsk. It's rude to announce someone's name before they want it to be know." I watched as he struggled to break it off, and noticing a gap, kicked him in the stomach. Two clones appeared behind him and caught him, they too also wore the Silence seal.
" I hope that you find this to your liking, you'll be here a while." I chuckled as I raised my hands bringing up a thick wall of earth. " Just start digging…it'll only take you five years…by then everything will be long gone."
He's awake Brat. I can feel him moving.
" Naruto-kun!" I chuckled amused. " I better be there to greet him then. Take good care of my body."
Naruto woke up and stood at the top of a grassy hill, the wind blowing gently on his face.
" Naruto-kun!" Someone called out. Two little kids came running up. They tackled him to the ground. " You promised to play!"
" Who are you?" Naruto scrambled to get up but found it difficult.
" Can't you recognize your two biggest fans?" A figure laughed. " They were scanning the whole hill side for you."
" Eh?"
" Go back and study kiddies and leave the older kids to talk."
" But we want to play with Naru-chan!"
" Yeah! All the other kids got to hang out with him already! Kaa-san said she wanted him over tonight!" The two kids augured as they ran off, tossing a good bye to Naruto. The blonde sat in a daze…what the hell was going on? Kids usually avoided him. Their parents forbid any contact with him and would never invite him to their house.
" You're quiet popular Naruto-kun. You almost don't have time to spend with me anymore!" They smiled. He could see their face, those lovely eyes and the dark colored hair, but he could not place it anywhere.
" Umm…what's going on?"
" You are taking a break from being Hokage…or have you already forgotten our little planned outing?"
It was then that Naruto finally realized what he was wearing. A white robe like clothing was worn over a red tunic like thing. At his right hand was the Hokage cap, resting on his knees. In his mind, he could recall the previous Hokage, Tsunade, giving him the title.
" But I thought the village would never let me become the Hokage…"
" Why not?" They turned around to look at them.
" Because of the Kyuubi…"
" Oh…Really Naruto! How many times do I have to remind you that everyone's totally fine with it?" Their hands reached over and enfolded Naruto's into theirs. " Listen, you've done everything you wanted, you have me, and you have the whole village that adores you."
" Then why do I still feel like something is missing?"
" Maybe because…you need to ask me something?"
" Eh?"
" Did you forget that you told me to meet you here!" They sounded pissed off.
Oh Naruto…even here you are so forgetful! As mad as I was with him, I just smiled my smile. Seeming to 'recall' that he had something, he pulled it out. It was a rose…and he told me that he loved me.
" I love you too Naruto-kun!" I pulled him close to me, close enough to kiss him. But before either one of us could enjoy the kiss, an arrow pierced my right shoulder. The pain was real and so was the bleeding…and I knew that Kiba had attacked my body. What is that Kyuubi doing to not take care of my body! A few more minutes and Naruto would have been completely mine and mine alone. Jerking awake, I noticed the clawed hand that protruded from my shoulder. Kiba shouted something to Neji and pulled his hand from my shoulder.
" I think I'm gonna die."
" Oh…you shouldn't have done that." I growled as Kyuubi treated me. The stupid fox had fallen asleep on the job. " It was better if you had just not transformed. But this way…" I opened the cave wall and saw two identical Kibas…fanged and clawed. They bared their fangs at me. Kyuubi had gently nuzzled fur unto my wound healing it instantly. " So the dogs come out to play…" I stretched out my hand and a small red fox jumped up, and we were ready.
On the other side of the village in the Hokage's office, Tsunade collapsed into a chair.
"No!" She muttered while covering her face with her hands. " Are you sure!"
" Yes." The one on their side nodded. " I wish I could deliver better news…" They replaced their mask and proceeded to cover the body of the young boy. " Hokage… I know this may be difficult, but it is the truth. And if I am right the next to die will be either Hyuuga Neji-san or Inuzuka Kiba-san."
" We must warn their parents!"
" I already have. Now…" They pulled from the folds of their clothes a map. Rolling it open, they marked off the caves just outside the village. " These have many underground tunnels, it is possible that they have hidden their with Kyuubi. I asked Gaara-san to go and see if he can pick up the Fox's Chakra. Also, if there is any blood shed, then he will alert us. I ask that you send your troops out their. It's our best shot." The parchment rolled up by itself and they handed it to the Hokage. She accepted it.
"…"
" I know that you have mixed feelings about this Hokage but it is the only way. We must kill them before they kill this whole village."
Tsunade face harden. " You're right. Let's go grab our murderer."
Hang on Naruto…I will come for you and we will be able to be together.
Naruto watched as the only person to ever love him died before his eyes.
" No! NO!" He cradled them, feeling their body become cold while he remained warm. " Who did this! Who the hell did this!"
Hehehe…To think that you really would be accepted by this village…pathetic fool.
" Who are you!" The world around dissolved, leaving him suspended in a dark void, now holding nothing but emptiness.
If you are willing, I will destroy that which is killing you. Just let yourself go Kit.
Nine fox tails snaked out and wrapped themselves around him.
Don't let anything distract you. Don't listen to anyone but us…
" Is he willing?" I asked while jumping off a ledge.
Yes brat!
" Good!" I flipped Kiba off as he tried to pounce on me. Neji also joined in the fight. Akamaru stood behind me, hands ready to dig into my skin.
" Die you sicko!" Kiba grabbed my arm as I tried to get away, allowing Neji the chance to try and close my chakra holes. Rapidly he touched the openings, and only when he had stopped did he see that Kiba and Akamaru lay weak on the ground.
" Thank you for helping me Neji…" Concentrating, I made a clone. " Now what was that attack…yes." Grabbing my clones hand, we jumped high into the air, and came down spinning rapidly towards Kiba and Akamaru. " Double Fox Claw." Long filed claws extended from my hands. I longed to see that blood of his fly through the air. Kiba struggled to get up but my last minuet switch had left him with out any will. Neji was busy battling Kyuubi's multiple tails, each one now deadly sharp.
" We hope you greet the others in hell!" Pulling our hands back, we rapidly plunged them into their bodies, pulled them out and plunged them back in. Each time we did, blood splattered in the air, leaving wonderful designs on the cave walls. " It was fun but I can't let you spill my secret by the smell of blood on my hands." The last assault we (my clone and I) did in unison, we plunged our hands in and ripped out their heart while it still throbbed, spraying out the lovely luscious red liquid that gives us our lives.
" A gift for you Kyuubi-san. I know how long it has been seen you've had such a gift in your name."
Not bad…for a small one like you. He wrapped his furry tail around Neji and threw him into the cave ceiling. We must go…I can sense him. The other demon.
" He must have smelled the blood." I licked my hands clean while I returned the earth to the ground. " I can't wait to face him…but first…There is Rock Lee and Tenten. They will come for Neji. Take him with us."
I climbed on top of Kyuubi's head. Carefully we made our way out, the sun casting gentle rays on the land.
" Speak of the devil." I muttered under my breath. I did not just see Gaara, like I had just expected. Millions of faces peered down at me, including Naruto's true love, the one that loved Naruto above anything else.
We seem to have walked to our death. What now O great one?
" Can the shit talk Kyuubi!" I chewed my bottom lip as I scanned the huge crowd. The one I feared walked down, followed by Tsunade. " Say here and do not come near!"
What about you?
I glared the best I could behind a mask at Kyuubi and jumped down. There was so much hate on Tsunade's face, and I could feel the hate being emitted from the one who walked beside her.
We met half way, and we just stood their, eyeing each other. Finally at the same time in time we greeted each other.
" Hello…"
" Uchiha Sasuke."
" Hyuuga Hinata."
We jumped into the air as we started the war for the hand of Naruto. And out of this battle only one could come out the victor.
THE OTHER MUST DIE.
Yang-chan: From here it looks like only (counts) Three chapters and the epilogue. WHAA! Only four chapters left! I can't kill off the Sand trio. That would cause many problems for Konoha later one, but I just want to thanks my reviews for every thing so far! I love you all!
Ferret-san: 4 more chapters with this story left…(pause) Anyway, once this is over, Yang-chan will return to her CCS story ALL FOR A SMILE and then begin a new Naruto story! So be on the look out. See ya soon! (wave)
