Ok, I basically have NOTHING to do. WHEEE!!! Well, I'm not updating very fast because I'm not very motivated...
Anyway, I am VERY disappointed by the amount of reviews I get. T-T You see, I see all these other fics with around 20-50 reviews per CHAPTER. It makes me feel so pathetic. (Cries) But then again, their fics are really good and mines are nothing in comparison. (Sigh) I want more reviews...
Response to reviews:
Greg: Me Myself and I: Thanks...XD You make really long reviews...Anyway, you catching my mistakes helps! Thanks!
Most Feared Assassin: Yes, I truly love making cliffhangers.
Ariyah-Chan: Yep, that's how a fox and dog can be related. So many people kept asking me.
silver starlight kitsune: Yes, it was very original! All mine!...I think...
Rejected Angel: Oh...Let's say Naraku had something to do with it...but that is pretty obvious.
Sano-kun: Thank you. I already read your fic but I didn't like some parts...so I kinda stopped reading it...Plus, I don't really like the KyubixSango. Too much...ooc and such. XD

"NARUTO'S MISSING!?" a certain chunin screamed.
"Calm down, Iruka," the Hokage said. He took a glance at the meeting junins and chunins. There were mixed emotions among the group. Some were glad the demon child was gone, some were worried he might be planning revenge, but few (and I do mean few) were concerned of Naruto.
"What happened to him!?" Iruka continued yelling. Obviously, he was one of the few.
Kakashi sighed and requested, "Permission to speak, Hokage-sama." The Third nodded his head for the junin instructor to continue. "I believe it might have something to do with the demon that showed up. He shows up and then Naruto is suddenly kidnapped? Also, he has admitted that the nine-tails was his son. There is a good chance he is trying to free his offspring from Naruto." Murmurs went around upon hearing this.
The Hokage nodded in agreement and said, "I know. I was watching. I don't know why, but I feel there is no danger within that one. I believe it is else where, but where I do not know."
Kakashi narrowed his eyes and stated, "That demon attacked me and attempted to kill me."
Some of the others nodded in agreement and murmured things like: "There might be another attack on Konoha." "What is Hokage-sama thinking? Demons are monsters! They are always trouble." "Another kitsune. This one is surely stronger! What will we do?"
"Silence!" It immediately came. He continued, "Our first course of action is to prepare for another demon attack. Alert the village of this but do not reveal the secret of the vessel! Three Anbu squads will search for Naruto. Genma, get me the heads of clans, there will be a meeting of the heads within 3 hours. Dismissed."
Everyone left with the exception of Iruka and Kakashi. Kakashi glanced at Iruka before speaking to the Third, "Hokage-sama, I am concerned for my student...what will happen?"
The Third closed his eyes and clasped his hands behind his back. "I do not know...I do not know. The only thing we can do now is pray, pray for Naruto and pray for the safety of Konoha. Keep in mind, Kakashi, Iruka, that Naruto may not be alive. For all we know, he could be dead."
Iruka's eyes widened and stuttered, "D-do you th-think h-h-he is?"
"No...I have a feeling he'll be all right. A father does not let his son die that easily." The Hokage had a smile on is face.
"You know something, don't you?" Kakashi seemed much more relaxed.
"It's only a hunch, but I've been around a long time and I have a feeling that this will be fine in the end." The Hokage took out his pipe and started to puff on it.
Kakashi sighed and said, "We can't rely on this demon. If he does save Naruto...from whatever kidnapped him...how can we be sure that Naruto will be safe? He might try to free Kyubi..."
"I don't know...I just hope everything will be fine." At that sentence, the two ninja took their cue to leave. The third sighed and whispered, "Forgive me, Fourth, things may not turn out as I say and hope. I will never forgive myself if your legacy meets an undeserving end." 'I truly hope Naruto returns to us safe...and I hope he does not go through any more mental torture.'
(Scene Change)
Inu-Yasha sniffed the air, hoping to catch a whiff of the brat or wind user. No such luck. He growled in frustration. "How the fuck am I supposed to find him!?" Inu-Yasha screamed in frustration. "I've been at this for five hours!"
"Been at what?"
"Gah!" Inu-Yasha turned around, ready to face a demon. It was a demon... but a very small one...a flea demon, actually. "What are you doing here?"
"Inu-Yasha-sama! I haven't seen you for over a century and this is what you say to me!?" Myouga started to "sob." He then looked up, "But some blood would make up for that!" He hopped on the dog demon's nose and began to suck...er, drink some blood.
Inu-Yasha's eyebrow twitched and he immediately slapped his nose, squishing the flea demon in the process. "Stop that! Besides, I'm busy!"
"Doing what?" Myouga liked off the blood around his mouth. "Ah! As sweet as I remember!"
Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes and said, "Look, I'm trying to find a blond human. He was kidnapped. Look, there's no time for the details but just tell me how to find him!"
"And you haven't changed a bit, I see. Why are you trying to find this human? Have you found...a mate!? Lord Inu-Yasha, you dog!" Myouga started to chuckle at his own joke.
"Shut up! And I said the human was a -he-!"
A raise of an eyebrow accompanied by, "I didn't know you were bisexual."
"I'm not! Look, just help me find the kid!" Inu-Yasha's face was slightly pink (from anger or a blush I'm not sure) and he was glaring at the tiny demon. "If you don't, trust me, you won't like what I'll do to you..." That was followed by a cracking of knuckles.
Myouga raised his hands up in mock defeat and said, "How were they traveling?"
"On a feather...they were flying."
Myouga frowned at this. "This will be harder for you to track them down." He pondered for a moment and said, "They are probably heading in a straight line. What direction were they heading before?"
'...Why didn't I think of that? Damn! I let my anger get the better of me!' Inu-Yasha thought for a moment before saying, "East, they were going east. Hmph, at least you got some brains to help you with your cowardice."
"Inu-Yasha-sama! How many times do I have to tell you! I'm not a coward!"
"I don't have time to name all the times you abandoned me!" Inu-Yasha called over his shoulder. He ran at top speed to make up for the lost time. Leaving Myouga in his dust.
The flea coughed at all the dust but said, "You've gotten better, Inu-Yasha-sama. Maybe this human helped you finally get over the death of your family...? Of Kagome and Shippo? Miroku, Sango, and Kirara? For your sake, I hope so, you've been mourning over their deaths for far too long now."
(Scene Change)
"'Nee-san, is this it?" Naruto asked. He was being lead inside the mansion to meet his soon to be father.
Kagura nodded slowly. "Be careful in Master Naraku's presence," She advised. "Do not anger him." 'Or it may cost you your life,' she silently added. She slid open the door, sliding it shut when they both entered.
"You need not frighten the boy, Kagura." The voice that spoke was...-cold- and menacing, yet it was smooth and silky. It held cunning intellect in it as well, telling anyone who heard it that this person was sly, someone to be careful with. It sent shivers down to anyone who listened.
Naruto turned his head to look at the speaker. It was a baboon...oh wait, it was a person -wearing- a baboon's skin. 'This guy needs a new fashion sense,' Naruto thought. Well, look who's talking.
Kagura, upon hearing the voice, immediately stiffened and replied, "Of course, Master Naraku. Here is the human, Uzumaki Naruto."
"Good," Naraku said. "I believe you took care of -him-?" You could tell he didn't.
Kagura winced and said carefully, "No, I did not see the half-breed."
"Pity. Kagura, go down to the 'basement', I want to have a talk with you after I formally meet Naruto-kun here." Kagura nodded and slowly left the room. Naraku turned to Naruto to see him staring curiously at him. "Is something wrong Naruto-kun?"
"Are you going to hurt Kagura-nee-san?" the boy asked.
"Maybe." Naraku sat on one of the cushions in front of the table. He motioned for Naruto to do the same, opposite of where the demon himself sat. "Do you have any questions?"
Naruto thought for a moment before saying, "Why?"
Naraku raised an eyerow, which was concealed by his outfit. "Why what?"
"Why are you doing this? Why help me?" the vessel had a desperate look in his eyes. 'Why would anyone offer this much for me?'
"You are strong. Impressively so. I need that. You will make a wonderful addition to my...'family.'" Naraku thought, 'Hopefully you will serve me better then my little Kyubi. He was always fighting against me. Not a very obedient pet.'
"So, that's all you want from me? My 'power'? That's IT!?" Naruto stood up, angered. 'I want...I had hoped...' He didn't get to finish the thought when Naraku spoke again.
"What else would demons want? Power. That is all that matters to us." 'At least most of us.' The Master continued, "You have raw power, but with -proper- training, you could be one of the strongest beings alive. Isn't that what you want? I'll let you show your home village how you grew after the training, make them see what they wasted." 'I'll let you show by killing them all...such stupid humans they were. They don't even know the rules of sealing souls.' He mentally snickered.
The human numbly sat down. 'Power...I'll be able to show them all. I'll show them how wrong they all are of me! Being trained by a -demon-. I'll be so strong...that they'll have to realize my potential!' Naruto mused.
"Plus, you also get Kagura and I as your 'family.'"
Naruto smiled, is eyes shining brightly. 'This is almost too good to be true.'
Naraku narrowed his eyes. 'His eyes show that he has never killed before...that will change soon enough...but I'll deal with him later, Kagura will pay for not being fully obedient.' The Master snapped his fingers and a imp like creature walked into the room. "Show Naruto-kun where his room is. I have business to attend to."
"Yes, Master Naraku..." the servant drawled. It led the shinobi out of the room and down the hall.
The demon stood up and walked down the hall, took the second right, took a left then the third left, and walked to the last door. He opened it and there were stairs leading down. He followed it until he reached someone waiting there for him. "Kagura, you should have killed him. Now he will try to find and stop me. I hope you at least didn't go straight here so he would know the direction." He received no reply so he backhanded her. "Fool! You will know better then to disobey me." His eyes glowed red for a second and in his right hand appeared her heart. He squeezed it tightly, wanting to hear her screams. She did scream. She screamed so loudly that the whole mansion would have heard if not for the silencing seals surrounding the dungeons.
Naraku scowled and relaxed his hand, listening to the wind user's pants for a few moment before he spoke in his silky, menacing voice. "Inu-Yasha -will- find his son, no amount of effort will be able to stop that half-breed, and I have not healed enough to kill him yet. That priestess's powers will always affect me, nothing will be able to break her curse. So, when the mixed-breed comes, kill him. I want -you- to personally kill him. Kill him even if you die trying, if you come back alive without his death on your shoulders, say your farewells to freedom. You don't want the same fate as Kanna, now do you? " As if to prove his point, his gripped the heart. The screams started again.
'Damn you, Naraku!' Kagura thought before the pain overcame any rational thought.
(Scene Change)
"Hmm...so I'm finally here. Damn! That took so fucking long! Grr...Naraku better not have done anything yet!" Inu-Yasha thought of a plan to get in there. 'What to do...what to do...I don't know what Naraku's capable of any more! I'll just have to do it the stupid way...' Inu-Yasha thought. He put down his backpack, unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and transformed it. "Here goes nothing." Inu-Yasha charged into the compound, sword ready to slice anyone from interfering, cloak swishing dramatically.
Someone was in the way, but it definitely wasn't who he thought it would be. With a yelp from both parties, they went crashing down on the ground. When they both got up, the demon said, "Fuck! I thought Naraku killed you or something!"
"Who are you!?" Naruto yelled in surprised. "And why would 'Tou-san try to kill me!?"
Inu-Yasha was...surprised to say the least. "-What-!? Since when was he your Otou-san!?"
"Why is it any of your business!?" Naruto yelled back. 'Who does this guy think he is!? What a minute...he looks familiar...is he stalking me!?' Naruto, being Naruto, voiced his thoughts out loud.
"I am -not- stalking...you..." 'Ok, yeah, it really was like stalking...but that's not the point!' Inu-Yasha grabbed his arm and started to pull him away. "Look, once we get out of here I'll start explaining some things!"
"Why would I want to leave!? Naraku-tou-san is really nice to me! And Kagura-'nee-san is too! It's way better then my old home! Everyone there -hates- me! Just let me go!" Naruto yelled, struggling against the half demon's grasp. "Let me go you bastard!"
"Do you know how dangerous Naraku is!? He's just going to kill or use you!" Inu-Yasha yelled at the struggling child.
Naruto stopped struggling and started to cry softly.
"W-what are you crying for!? Look...er...forget what I just said, let's just leave..." Inu-Yasah tried to reason, someone who never dealt well with tears of any kind. 'Why is he even crying!? What did I do!?'
"You...you don't understand!" Naruto looked Inu-Yasha straight in the eyes, even though the demon still had his hood up. Pained filled eyes met pitying ones. "I never had a family...I never had anyone to look out for me! To make it worse, the whole village hated me! They all thought I was better off dead...It hurt so much...it hurt to know that they wouldn't even give me the right to live had they the choice..."
He dropped the ninja's arm. "...Do you really think Naraku is any better?"
"He...is giving me a chance...he's actually giving me a chance, something that only one other person has ever done in my whole life...and then, you, someone I have no idea of, comes along and try to take it anyway from me! Who are you!? Are you from the Leaf, were you sent to put me back in that hell hole!?" Naruto's once pained eyes filled with anger, lashing out towards the man standing before him.
Inu-Yasha slammed a claw over his face and said, "Look here, Naraku isn't going to give you a chance! Don't you see!? He only wants the demon inside you! He doesn't care one fucking bit about you!"
"How would you know!? Have you ever met him!? Do you even know him!?" 'They sent someone like -this- after me!? Why won't they just let me leave!? They hate me so much that they'd want me to suffer!' Naruto thought hatefully.
Inu-Yasha's eyes narrowed and said softly, "He killed my family...and not only them, but thousands of humans and demons alike. Thousands, if not millions. And he did all of this for power. Once he's done with you...he'll kill you."
Naruto's eyes sed tears but he said, "You're lying." But he sounded blank, no emotion.
"Why would I?" Inu-Yasha knelt down and said softly, "The kitsune in you, he's my son."
Naruto froze at this and he eyes widened.
Inu-Yasha continued, pretending to not notice Naruto's reaction. "He...wasn't always so destructive. He used to be a lot like you, actually. But, during a war I was in, a fight to stop Naraku, he was kidnapped by the enemy. Naraku...experimented on him...made him literally loose his mind. He was no longer my son...and became a monster..."
"How right you are." Inu-Yasha and Naruto whirled around to face Naraku and Kagura (who looked beaten and hurt) facing them about ten feet away. "My...hasn't it been a long time, -Inu-Yasha-?" Naraku said the last part disgustedly.
"Not long enough. You should be dead, bastard!" Inu-Yasha got on his feet and pointed his sword at his long time foe. He stated coldly, "Kagome's curse should have killed you."
Naraku smirked under his mask. "Heh. And wasn't it her last spell before I had her killed by none other then her own-"
"Shut up!" Inu-Yasha yelled, his eyes flashing red. "You bastard! You sick and twisted -thing-!" He charged at the other demon before being blasted backwards by Kagura. He slid back a few feet but remained standing. He growled low in his throat. During his consuming anger, he forgot about Naruto. If he tried that again, the attack might hit the boy.
Kagura paused before asking, "What if I accidentally hit the human?"
"If he can't dodge, then he's too weak for my purposes," Naraku said lazily.
Naruto's eyes flashed with anger. It went unnoticed.
=Do not listen to that bastard.=
'Wha-?' Naruto thought. 'What was -that-?'
=...You can hear me?=
'Who the hell is doing that? Who are you!?' Naruto looked around. He only saw the black cloaked demon fighting his former 'Nee-san. He also saw the baboon skin wearing one watching them. They had all ignored him.
The genin heard the voice sigh and say, =I'm called the Kyubi.=
(Scene Change)
"Hokage-sama, what on Earth is going on?" Hiashi asked. "There are rumors that demons are on the loose."
The Third sighed and said. "There are. One has come to our village, in search of his son. His son is none other then the nine-tails." Several gasps were heard after this. He continued. "And Naruto has been kidnapped, for what purposes I do not know. I sent three Anbu squads after him already, three hours ago. They will do their best to find the child and find out what is going afoot."
Another head spoke up, "What will we do? Our village still has the scars of the last fight with a demon. Kyubi's father is most likely stronger than the son, will you be able to seal him, considering your age? Will there even be a strong enough vessel for this one? How will we -survive-?"
"The new kitsune was that odd chakra that has been lingering around our village for some time now. If he truly wanted to kill us, he would have done it by now. I do not think he is waiting to kill us. I believe that someone other then he kidnapped Naruto. If he had wanted to take Naruto, why would he wait for so long? The only thing that we can do right now is keep up our guard and wait. Wait and watch for anything suspicious, be on high alert. That is the best thing we can do for now."
"How are you so sure this kitsune won't attack?" a newly appointed head clan member asked. "How are you so sure he won't kill us all?"
"What would you have us do?" the Hokage snapped. "What else is there? Send out shinobi to track him down and kill him? He would crush us easily."
The man who spoke earlier fell silent when he was snapped at, ashamed for his outburst.
What the Hokage said was true, there wasn't much to do in this situation.
(Scene Change)
"So my little brother is still alive."
"Yes, I saw him a few hours ago, Sesshomaru-sama," Myouga said happily.
Sesshomaru let a small smile grace his features and replied, "I'm glad. It is good to hear that he is among the living. When he left, I thought he had killed himself to see Kagome again."
"So did I. You had no idea how much of a shock it was to see him again. He certainly looks older but still acts the same as ever. I would like to meet this human boy that Inu-Yasha-sama worries over so much. Hmm...So much to catch up on!"
The great dog demon sighed and said, "Where was he heading?"
"East."
"That is not within my boundaries, it's Kouga's though...what does he have to do there?" the demon lord asked.
The flea demon answered, "I believe he is chasing that human I mentioned earlier. But something seems suspicious with me, I'm not sure what but something seems greatly off..."
"I hope my younger brother does not do something foolish. If my memory serves me correctly, he has a thing with running head first into trouble. He's like a magnet for danger," Sesshomaru sighed.
"Knowing him, trouble follows him like death and misery does. I think we should send for someone to look for him..." Myouga suggested.
"You know Inu-Yasha, if he doesn't want to be found only the Gods would have a chance. He -is- one of the most powerful demons alive, if we ignore his human blood. I suspect it was only pure luck you saw him."
"Sesshomaru-sama! Have you no faith in my tracking skills?"
"You're tracking skills are as great as your courage, Myouga. And if you did have a shred of it, why would it take you over a century to find him?" the demon lord asked dryly.
"Oh, what little trust you all have on me!"
Sesshomaru just flicked the flea off his shoulder, annoyed. Imagine, a nearly thousand year old demon crying on his shoulder. Plus, he didn't want his nice silk kimono getting wet. 'Inu-Yasha, you should not have left. The other demons are getting restless for their revenge.'
(Flashback)
"Now, this is what we have to do. Humans will not be able to completely destroy demons so we will compromise," Miroku said to the demon and human ambassadors. They sat in a circular table, four humans, one half breed, and eleven demons. "There will be four demon rulers: north, south, east, and west. Also-"
"What gives you the right to decide, filthy human!?" one of the demons screeched at him.
Sango glared at the demon and hissed out, "Be glad we did not -kill- you. Your side of the war lost so you deal with our rules or you die." She fingered her boomerang fondly.
There was no response.
"Thank you, Sango, but you need not be so edgy," Miroku gently smiled at her, laying his only hand on her right shoulder. Some glanced briefly at the stump where his right arm should have been. "As I was saying, four demon lords and lady. We shall choose them. They will rule over the demons who choose to live in their property. For the rulers, the eight of us have chosen Sesshomaru-san, former ruler of the western regions of Japan, who was on our side. Also, there is also the web mistress, Aki, from your side-"
"Why bother?" Aki the spider interrupted. She was a relatively ugly thing that hurt your eyes to look at. She had four arms and four legs with pincers and long black/red stripped hair. "Like you said, you won, so why would you let one of your enemy control a quarter of the land?" she all but sneered, making her face even uglier.
After being quiet all this time, Inu-Yasha spoke up. "Stop interrupting him, spider. Be glad that we are even -pretending- to be fair," the half demon growled.
The spider demon was silent. Everyone knew that Inu-Yasha was one of the strongest beings alive (if not the strongest), despite him being a mixed-breed. No one dared to mess with him. If he tells you to stop up, you don't even bother to ask for how long.
"Thank you, Inu-Yasha. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, from your side will be the panda demon-Shiroi." Shiroi only nodded in acknowledgement. He looked like a cross between a man and (obviously) a panda. "From our side will be Inu-Yasha. Sesshomaru-san will take the west, Aki the north, Shiroi the south, and Inu-Yasha shall take the east. We expect each of you to make sure the demons do -not- attack the humans who live in your residence. Those who let that kind of thing slip by will be immediately replaced." Miroku paused to look sternly on Aki and Shiroi. "Now, do any of you have a problem with this? Questions?"
There was hesitation before Shiroi spoke up. "What would happen if -humans- decide to attack demons?"
"Punish them the way you would punish the demons if they decide to kill humans. Treat them as equals. If the humans provoke the demons into a fight, or the other way around, punish them both. If one side only defends, punish the attacker," Sango replied firmly. "If there is a war, fight, or something equally major, you take it up with the council. If you don't know who the council is, it's the people in this room right now. You do not only bring it to -part- of the council, make sure there is -everyone-."
Aki glared at the demon hunter and said, "What if there is disagreement between another demon lord and a war comes of it?"
A human spoke up and said, "This arrangement is meant to prevent fighting from breaking out. That is why we choose two from your side and two from our side. When we made you north, we had to occupy the west and east lands with your enemies and your alley furthest from you. That is also applied to each of the other demon lords."
"Peace, that is only a word. This so called truce won't last long," Inu-Yasha whispered. "By the way, I refuse the position of demon lord." He said that part casually.
There was a heavy silence in the air until Sesshomaru finally asked, "Why?"
"Pfft. I don't want to, is that ok with you, -Onii-san-?" he almost sneered out.
Sango's eyes narrowed and said, "Inu-Yasha, that's not really a good reason. If you are one of the demon lords, things would go by much smoother. Kagome would have wanted-"
"Shut up!" Inu-Yasha glared at her. It sent chills down everyone's spines. His eyes softened slightly, only because she was his friend. Anyone else and they would be laying on the ground with their blood pooling around them. "Kagome's dead, Shippo- I don't even know if he's alive or not- I hate it. So don't remind me of them. Besides, I don't cut out to be a demon lord. That's more of Sesshomaru's thing."
The human who spoke earlier said, "But you lead our side of the war, surely you would be capable of demon lord."
"That's only because I was the best one for that -and- it was needed. This isn't needed nor am I the best for the position. Find someone else. I don't really care." Inu-Yasha looked away (his bangs covering his eyes) and meant to stand up but Miroku stopped him with a look.
"What are you going to do now? Forget about it? Leave?" Miroku was always the best person to read Inu-Yasha next to Kagome.
"Disappear." Was his response. He left the room but before he did, he said over his shoulder, "I'll...-try- to keep in touch. Feh."
"...This doesn't change anything except that Kouga, the wolf demon, will take his place," Sesshomaru spoke up. Kouga was silent, still staring at where Inu-Yasha left.
The human side was a little uneasy with their leader gone but the demons started to plot for revenge. It'll only be easier now that the half demon was gone.
(End Flashback)
'You only contacted me two times since you left, and the last one was over a hundred years ago. I know that you sent Miroku and Sango a few more letters then that before they died...have you closed yourself off completely since then?' wondered the demon of the western lands.
(Scene Change)
=Listen up and do what I tell you,= Kyubi said urgently.
Naruto's eyes narrowed and asked suspiciously, 'Why should I trust you?'
=For the love of- look, can you please just consider it? Naraku's one of the most dangerous demons alive! Eventually he's just going to take that seal the Yondaime made off, take my soul, put me in a new body, and kill you! Not necessarily in that order...= Kyubi trailed off.
'How are you so sure?'
=Didn't you just hear him? He doesn't really care if -you- live or die as long as my soul isn't harmed! I don't want him to take my soul, even if it means staying stuck in an idiot's body!=
'What!? Even demons insult me!'
=Demons insult -every- human! Now, listen to Inu-Yasha and let's -leave-!=
'Who's Inu-whatever? And what kind of name is -that-?'
=Oh, like you have a better name. And Inu-Yasha's the one in black.=
'You know, for a demon you don't seem very scary.' Naruto heard some profanities cursed out in an odd language. It sounded like he was spitting and snarling.
=Look, who do you think is better, Naraku- who doesn't even care about you- or Inu-Yasha- the one trying to help you out!?=
'Inu-Yasha just might only be helping me out because of -you-, you know!' was the bitter reply.
=He's better then Naraku any day! Fine, how about this, we'll make a deal, alright?=
Naruto's curiosity perked up and so the answer was, 'What kinda deal?'
Kyubi mentally smiled and said, =Alright, you know all those times you said "I'm gonna be Hokage one day!"? I'll help you reach that dream.=
'...Really?'
=Yeah.=
'Alright, what do I have to do!?'
=Let me use your body for a bit.=
'Whaaat!? No way! Nuh-uh! No can do!'
=What? Are you scared I'll destroy your village? Incase you forgot, WE'RE HOURS AWAY FROM THERE!=
Naruto winced from the volume and meekly said, 'Oh yeah...Ok, fine, but what do you need it for?'
=You'll see. Now, just relax your body and clear your mind.=
Naruto obeyed. When he opened his eyes, they were no longer blue but a piercing crimson. He smirked, showing off fangs and flexed his new claws. Red energy spiked around him, making everyone turn their heads to him. He looked at the half demon and his eyes softened. All he said was, "Long time no see, 'Tou-san."
All Inu-Yasha did in return was blink, then smirk.
