T-T Still sad on the amount of reviews I get...anyway...I HATE SCHOOL! I wish someone would burn it down! Sadly, I doubt that would happen.
So here goes the seventh chapter. I'm not gonna write the battle between Inu-Yasha and Naruto vs. Naraku and Kagura. Maybe in a flashback later on.
I made this chapter faster and longer than I usually do because I won't have so much time later on 'cause I'm going to...high school (shiver). I'm gonna be a friggin' freshman...
PLEASE review after you finish reading.
Kitsu3: Thanks!
Gopu: Short but sweet.
Greg: Me Myself and I: I'll fix them...one day...
Element4life: This update was a lot faster than what I usually do.
Wolfen Man Unleashed: That sure makes me feel...slightly better...
The-TempesT: Nah, not my style to do that sorta thing. I'm only updating this fast 'cause I got nothin' to do.
Firehedgehog: Thank you!

(Begin)
"You know...I don't want to go back," Naruto said softly, almost as if to himself.
Inu-Yasha, hood down, glanced at him but his gaze returned to the star filled sky. "Yeah, I know."
"You gonna make me?" Naruto asked, looking at the ground he and the half demon were sitting on. It had blood spilled on it, some of it was theirs and some of it was the other demons'. The grass was no longer green and the leaves around them were sprinkled red.
"Make you what?"
"Go back."
"Not my choice to make, kid. But it -is- your home," Inu-Yasha pointed out.
"Home's where the heart is, at least that was what people said. If it's true, that definitely isn't my home."
Inu-Yasha didn't respond for a minute until he asked, "So then, what are you going to do?"
Naruto looked at the sky and shuffled a bit.
"Hey, let me see that seal of yours." Inu-Yasha commanded, changing the subject.
Naruto looked at him surprised and then suspiciously. "What are you going to do?"
The half demon looked at him straight in the eye and replied, "If I can remove Kyubi from you, I'll do it. If I can't, I'll leave it." He shrugged.
Naruto hesitated but complied. He laid flat on his back and pulled up his tattered shirt. There the seal showed in all its glory. Inu-Yasha loomed over him, staring intently at it.
"So, can you remove it?"
The demon's eyes narrowed and said, "No. Whoever made this was smart and talented. He even used his life force energy to make this. I don't think even the strongest or smartest people in this plane of existence can take this off without risking their life. Even if they risked it, there is still a high chance of failure. I know only one person who would take it off successfully and live, but she's dead..."
Naruto noticed that it was a touchy subject so he didn't ask who it was.
Inu-Yasha stopped inspecting the seal and looked back up at the sky again. His eyes glazed over softly from memories of the past. He sighed heavily and got up. "Well, you know what? I'm not going to bother you anymore. Good luck with whatever, not my business, it's your life." Inu-Yasha gave a small wave over his shoulder without looking back. "I got demons to hunt down." 'Besides, I don't want another person getting hurt or killed by that monster,' he thought.
It was then that Kyubi screamed at Naruto, =Tell him you want to go too!=
'What, why?' Naruto asked. He felt really disappointed and depressed. 'Naraku tricked me, I'm hurt badly, what makes you think I need more of that?'
=Idiot! I want revenge against that bastard! REVENGE!= the demon screeched out. =Don't you want to make him pay!?=
'Yeah, I do...but...it's better if I don't, do you want to get -killed-?'
=You're being cowardly.=
'Shut up. I...just don't...want to see...him again...'
Kyubi sighed and said, =He hurts lots of people...it's better to stop him than let him continue. That's why 'Tou-san is going after him...=
'...'
=You don't have to...if you really don't want to...I know you're really scared of him...=
'Thanks...but I'm not scared of anything!' Naruto put on his fox grin.
=Admitting that you're scared of Naraku isn't something you should be ashamed of...I'm scared of him...a lot...=
Naruto was shocked. 'Really? -You-?'
Kyubi rolled his eyes and replied, =Hey, I'm not like the rest of my kin.=
Naruto thought for a moment. When he made his decision, he stood up and yelled at the retreating figure in the distance, "HEY! WAIT UP!"
Inu-Yasha, who was about 200 yards away, heard the shout loud and clear. He quirked an eyebrow and stared at the blond running towards him. He waited until Naruto stood in front of him, panting. "What?"
"I...(pant) want...To (huff) go...with...(pant) you..." the vessel managed to get out.
"...NO." Was the flat reply.
"What? Why not?"
"Gee, how can I say this to make you understand? You're...a...human...CHILD. Oh, and what's Naraku? A full grown demon!"
=HALF demon.=
"Kyubi says he's a half demon."
"I don't care! No is no."
"Come on!"
"Why are you so insistent?"
"Bacause! Someone like Naraku has to be stopped!"
"And you think you're up for the job? I repeat, you're a little kid. How old are you? Ten?"
"Twelve!"
The dog demon smacked his forehead in frustration. "Still, you're a child, thus, you can't go."
"See this!?" Naruto shouted at Inu-Yasha, pointing to his leaf hitai-ate. "This shows that I'm an adult! A ninja! I've already made up my mind, I'm going to stop Naraku! And I'm not taking back my words, that's my way of the ninja!" He crossed his arms and puffed out his chest to emphasize his words.
"...You're a half wit, you know that?"
Naruto was about to retort but Kyubi said to him, =Ha! He's breaking, reel him in!=
'What?'
=Just do what I tell you...=
Naruto said, "Yeah, lots of people say that. One day, I'm gonna prove them all wrong." His eyes glittered in determination.
Inu-Yasha sighed and said out in defeat, "Fine. You can come...Just do what I tell you. If I say run, you run as if the devil was on your heels. If I say hide, I don't even want to see you the next second. If I say be quiet, I don't want to hear you breath, got it?"
"Yes sir!" Naruto did a mock salute, grinning ear to ear.
Inu-Yasha couldn't help but grin back. They walked side by side until Inu-Yasha said something in the demon language.
Naruto stared curiously at him and asked Kyubi what he said. All Kyubi did was laugh and say, =He knew!=
(Scene Change)
"AAAHHHHHH!!!" Naruto screamed as he ran away from the threat. Suddenly, he was grabbed by the back of his shirt and pulled up a tree. The little imp like creatures didn't see and ran past the giant oak.
"I told you to be quiet in here. Demon territory isn't like human territory!" Inu-Yasha hissed.
All Naruto could do was glare at the half demon and pant. The demon rolled his eyes and nodded in a direction and ran. Naruto followed him. Inu-Yasha slowed down a bit for Naruto to be able to follow. Naruto asked, "Hey, where are we going?"
"Well, if you really want to help me out in getting Naraku, you're going to have to toughen up!"
"What!?"
Inu-Yasha sighed in disgust. "I mean training!"
"What? What kind of training!?" the hyperactive blond asked.
"We're going to do some survival training! And you're going to meditate!"
"That sounds really boring!"
"Trust me, it'll be -anything- but boring," Inu-Yasha said almost sadistically.
=I don't like the sound of that...=
'What do you mean?'
=When Inu-Yasha-'tou-san means "survival" training...he's going to take you out to the heart of demon territory and probably leave you there.=
"WHAT!?"
"What did I say about the yelling?" Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes. "Well, Kyubi probably told you what I'm thinking about. I'm going to take you to the heart of this place, you're going to have to learn the demon tongue, and you're going to meditate to learn how to use my son's yoki."
"His what?"
Inu-Yasha sighed and said, "I suppose the closest thing to yoki is your term 'chakra.' There are key differences though..."
"Huh?"
"Ok, your 'chakra' is a combination of your mental and physical energies, right?"
"Yeah..." Naruto said, trying to remember what Sakura said in the wave country.
"Well, ever heard of spirit energy?"
"..."
"I'll take that as a no. Alright, this will be a pretty long explanation. Spirit energy is what every living thing has: humans, trees, plants, animals, as long as it is alive, it has spirit energy. Demons, oni, and the like do too but we call it 'yoki,' yoki is like spirit energy but Spirit energy is stronger then yoki. Unfortunately for you humans, spirit energy isn't as easily accessed as yoki is for demons. Understand so far?"
"Um...Yeah!" Naruto sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
=In short, every living thing has spirit energy but oni, demons, or trolls have yoki. Yoki is like spirit energy but it is easier for demons and such to use then for humans to use spirit energy.=
'Oh. I get it!'
"Anyway...you know about auras?"
"Um...what are auras?"
"..."
=I'm stuck...in an idiot's...body...fantastic.= The sarcasm dripped off the last word.
'Hey! And you already said that! Besides, they never said anything about this in the academy!'
=You sure? Or maybe you just weren't paying attention.=
'...Shut up!'
=Anyway, -I- was paying attention and you're right. Stupid humans forgot all about spirit energy and auras.=
"Ha! Told you they didn't teach that sorta stuff in the academy!"
"...You really have to stop that," Inu-Yasha said.
Naruto asked, "Huh? Stop what?"
The half demon sighed and said, "When you talk to Kyubi, don't say some parts out loud like that. Makes you look stupid...er."
=Yeah, stupid-ER.=
"Shut up!"
"Let's just get back to what I was saying. Alright, auras. Everyone has an aura. Demons, humans, spirits, trolls, imps, so on. As long as it has a type of personality, it has an aura. I'll teach you how to read auras later. Everyone has a unique type of aura, there is never two of the same kind of aura just like there isn't another person like you. Depending on your personality, your aura has a color. There are all kinds of aura colors. If it's dark and creepy feeling, the person is probably evil. If it's light and has a cleansing feeling, the person is probably good. You can't change your aura unless you change your personality but you can learn how to hide it."
"Um...I think I get it. Yoki equals demon, oni, imps and spirit energy equals every other living things. Spirit energy is stronger but is harder to use. Aura, everyone has that. Your aura color and type depends on your personality and such. You can hide your aura but you can't change it unless your personality changes...hey, I thought it was all blue and demons' were red..."
"...That's your chakra...ok, see, since chakra is just a plain mix with mental and physical energies, they all turn out blue. Spirit energy and yoki requires a bit of your aura, that's why your aura becomes more noticeable when you use spirit energy. Did you ever use Kyubi's yoki before?"
"...Um..." Naruto thought back in the wave country, in the ice mirrors, and nearly killing Haku. "Yeah, I didn't mean to, it just happened."
"What did you see?"
"I kinda remember this red yoki swirling around me..."
"Yeah, that was probably your aura and yoki."
"Hey, what about killing intent?"
"Killing intent? Never heard of it...it's just probably your aura feeling your need for blood shed. Are there any other terms for feelings like that?"
"Oh...no..."
"Well, I guess humans fell pretty far back from my day."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I'm not going to explain. Just take a look through my son's memories, you'll know things faster that way. I doubt he'll mind since you're pretty much sharing that body."
'Well?'
=It's going to be one of the things you'll be concentrating on when you meditate.=
'Wait a minute, how come you can talk to me like this all of a sudden?'
=Since that fight with Naraku, our connection with each other is stronger.=
'Ok...whoa...what the hell?' Naruto stopped, feeling cold all of a sudden. He began to shake a little and collapsed on the tree branch. 'Eyes...this forest has so many eyes! Everything's staring at me...they want to kill me...they're all looking at me...I'm...I'm just prey to them...what do I do!? Someone, help me! Help-' He felt a sting on is right cheek. He brought a shaky hand up and touched it. "Wha-what?"
"I guess you've never dealt with this kind of thing before," Inu-Yasha said, retracting his hand from the slap. "We're not even near the middle of this forest and you're already shaking!"
"What happened? It's still so cold..." He wrapped his arms around himself.
Inu-Yasha sighed and said, "Remember when you were being chased by those imps? That was the edge of this forest. We only just got out of the edge but I don't think you can handle this."
"THAT was the EDGE!?" Naruto screeched. The demon nodded.
"You think you're cold, but it's not the weather. This forest has an evil aura about it. Of course it would, being infested by demons and the like. This aura encourages you to feel fear."
"How come you're not scared then?"
"Because I'm -used- to these types of auras. Duh, I'm part demon." Inu-Yasha helped Naruto to his feet. "Think you can get to the middle of this forest?"
"I'm going to be Hokage, of course I can handle it!" he replied instantly.
"...You do realize that not even your Hokage can get through this forest and die painlessly, right?"
Naruto's eyes widened and didn't say anything.
Inu-Yasha moved forward again, Naruto following in deep thought.
(Scene Change)
"Captian...I think you should take a look at this..." an Anbu said that had a falcon mask. Another Anbu who had a rabbit mask on walked over.
He asked, "What is...what could have done this?"
Upon hearing this, the other Anbu who were sent to retrieve the vessel of the Kyubi came over. All where shocked at what they saw. "I've...I've never seen anything like this besides the Kyubi's attack..." whispered another Anbu in awe.
What laid before them was a battle field. There was a destroyed mansion, shattered to pieces. It looked like a tornado focused on that one spot. Here and there were fallen trees that looked like they were ripped up from the ground. There were some bodies about, but for sure they were not humans. Blood was spilled on a certain spot near the edge of the wreckage.
The Anbu cautiously ventured forward. They knelt down near a body. It had a pole sticking out of its stomach. "What...what is it?" the one in a falcon mask asked.
The rabbit masked one whispered, "I...think it's...an imp or something..."
Suddenly, the body coughed, spraying blood. The Anbu near jumped back a little, kunai drawn. The imp like creature whispered, "M...Master...Nara...ku..."
"Did that thing just say something?" asked a gorilla masked woman.
"That...f-fox...and (cough)...hanyou..." Blood leaked out of the corner of his mouth.
"Hanyou...what's hanyou?" asked an Anbu at the back, toying with the word. Everyone stared intensely at the dying imp. It gave a shudder and died.
"It said fox...do you think...?"
"Maybe...let's look around some more. Be careful everyone, this place is dangerous." The Anbu spread out and searched. There were no other survivors. After an hour of searching, rabbit face called out to the others.
"Let's go."
"Don't we have to find that demon child?"
"Not anymore, we have to get something to Hokage-sama." They ran off.
(Scene Change)
"Hokage-sama, I have some news of the Uzumaki child." The Anbu captain bowed in respect.
"What have you found?"
The captain stepped forward and offered a dirty and bloody scroll. The Third slowly opened it, fearing for the worst.
"If anyone is reading this, I hope you know the date. The day I wrote this was April 5th. If this date is waaay off from the current date, don't bother reading the rest of this and throw it away.
Anyway, if this date is not too off, please bring this scroll to the Fire Country and to the Hokage. I don't care if the Hokage is reading this or not but I guess it'd be best if he read it...
Alright, old man Hokage, you're probably wondering what happened to me. Well...I -really- don't want to talk about this since it could go to the wrong hands. Let's just say, as you might already know, I got fucking kidnapped! Jackasses they all are!
Anyway, I'm not coming back. At least not yet. I'll come back eventually. When, I'm not sure. I'm going to train out in the real world for a while. I'm not going to be a missing-nin, so don't label me as one! I just need some time to find myself...being kidnapped really got me thinking about my so called home...ah, I sound all mushy! Oh, and tell Iruka-sensei I'll miss him!
-Uzumaki Naruto, the confused"
The Hokage sat there, frozen in shock. After a moment, he smiled in relief. He turned to the Anbu and said, "You are dismissed." They looked at each other but obeyed. The Hokage turned to one of the shinobi in the room and ordered, "Go get Iruka for me." The shinobi saluted him and disappeared in a poof of smoke.
(Scene Change)
"Concentrate on the sound of my voice...don't look, feel...what do you see?" Inu-Yasha sat in front of Naruto, in the middle of a clearing.
"I...your aura...it's...so beautiful..." Naruto said in an awe struck tone.
Inside his head, Kyubi was laughing hysterically. Naruto remained oblivious to it.
Inu-Yasha said flatly, "...Oh...kay."
"Hehehehe..." Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously, knowing how stupid that sounded. "Hey, why is your aura all silvery with dashes of this really dark silver and red color?" The colors kept moving, constantly moving, but it never blended together.
"See how half of my aura is dark while the other half is light? The light silver shows my... 'good' side. Shows that I have loyalty and that crap. Never repeat that. The other half is a darker self. The dark crimson color represents my natural blood lust, anger, hate. That dark silver is my depression, sadness, and evil intent. The color doesn't exactly have to match the emotion, but the things you feel are in your aura. My aura color can change if I'm feeling a particularly strong emotion. If an aura is light, the person is probably good, if dark, bad person. Now try and see what color or colors your aura is."
Naruto concentrated and saw a lot of blue...light blue. There were some dark blue places and slightly darkened red areas, but mostly light blue. It was the lightest blue he ever saw. "Wow..."
"I think the red areas are Kyubi's. You know what? Your aura is really bright. Let me guess, you never killed before."
"Um...yeah..." Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly, fox grin in place.
"You don't have to be ashamed..." the half demon turned back to Naruto's aura. "That dark blue...there is so much sadness in it...it's like you bottled it up and tried to ignore it..." Inu-Yasha's eyes narrowed. "That village of yours, right?"
Naruto looked away but nodded.
"Why hide it?"
"...I don't want Iruka-sensei to worry about me..."
"That brunette with a scar across his nose?"
"Yep." Naruto smiled at the mention of Iruka, but his smile was a little strained.
Inu-Yasha sighed and said, "You know, you don't always have to smile."
"Huh?" Naruto had a puzzled look on his face, smile forgotten.
"Look, just don't smile unless you mean it."
"...It...it's a habit...you know, usually people don't notice...and I hate to worry people, if they care enough to do that..."
"Who cares what they think."
"It's easier to pretend that they don't get to me."
"That won't help you. One day it'll come out, in a bad form too. I'm not saying for you to be melodramatic and blame everyone for your troubles or attack everyone that insults you. I'm trying to say that let it get to you, then let it go. Don't blame them unless they deserve or need it, if they're just trying to put the blame on someone, don't take that shit. Even if they're not blaming you particularly, it's just stupid and pathetic."
"...Hey, Inu-Yasha...thanks." Naruto smiled shyly, one of his rare true smiles that was usually reserved for his favorite teacher. 'To think, a demon would be nicer then the people in Konoha...' they all thought.
Inu-Yasha quirked an eyebrow but shrugged, smirking. "Whatever, let's get back to the training."
Naruto found someone who he could trust fully and not be afraid of getting hurt. He found a precious person. Who'd think it would be a demon?
(Scene Change)
Iruka read the note. He re-read it. He re-re-read it. After the seventh time, he -still- couldn't believe what was written on the scroll. He attempted to speak, "I-he-but-how-no-leave-what?"
Everyone in the room stared at him. "Iruka, are you alright?" Kakashi asked, lazily reading his Icha Icha Paradise. He was surprised when the normally polite chunin pulled down his book and shoved a dirty scroll in front of his face. He read it once, then grabbed it out of the academy teacher's hands, and re-read it. He stood there, staring at the scroll. Everyone else had their curiosity aroused. They stared at him and the flustered chunin.
"Iruka, Kakashi, I'm sure he's fine," the Third put in his opinion.
Kakashi looked at him and said slowly, "He's out there, probably alone, and you think he's fine?"
"This scroll could be a fake! Or maybe this is a cry out for attention! He was just kidnapped, he could be emotionally unstable!" cried the worried teacher. The junin nodded in agreement.
"If it would make you feel better, I'll send an Anbu squad to look for him."
"Only one?"
"Yes, only one. But if they find him, would you want him to be dragged back here or have him stay out there a while longer?"
"You're letting him travel?" Iruka asked, amazed.
"I believe it would be a good experience for him." The Hokage calmly puffed out smoke from his pipe.
Kakashi lazily said, "If you think it would be a good idea...Hokage-sama."
(Scene Change)
"You picked up on the concept of auras and such pretty fast, Naruto. Took you only a day. You should meditate now, to get a feel of Kyubi's yoki. It'd be best to look through his memories, it'll go faster that way...it'll...it'll take you at least a month of almost constant meditating...to see through all his memory..." Inu-Yasha fell silent.
"Is something wrong?" the blond asked nervously.
"Huh? Oh, nothing...well, you'll see...are you absolutely sure you want to do this? There are some...personal...things..."
"If you guys don't want me to, I won't..."
=Go ahead...It doesn't matter. Just, be prepared, there're a lot of things in there that normal people aren't supposed to see...=
"Why are you guys so nervous?"
No answer. Naruto took that as a signal to start meditating. He sat down, on one of the tree branches, silent. He crossed his arms and legs, eyes closed, head bowed. He dug dead into his mind, just like how Inu-Yasha and Kyubi told him. He concentrated on everything. All the doors, the ankle high water, the pipes running along the ceiling, and the dark. He ventured to the very beginning, opening the slightly cracked, pure white door.
He stepped in, watching through a little kit's eyes at his very first memories. The new smells, the new tastes, the colors, the brightness of the sun, there was so much! He saw his mommy and daddy licking him and his siblings clean. He loved the feel of his mommy's fur, it was so soft...
Then, he realized that wasn't his mother. She was dead. He didn't even remember her! He was Uzumaki Naruto, not Shippo the kit. Naruto pulled himself out of the memory, closing the door on his way out.
=You ok?= came Kyubi's voice.
'Yeah...I'm fine. Can you show me where to start? I don't want to know something I don't need to. That memory...seemed private...'
=It's fine, it's fine. Go ahead, go through all of them.=
'Are you sure?'
=Yeah, it'll help you better understand me and 'Tou-san.=
Thus, Naruto began watching every memory. Some made him feel all warm, some made him cry, some seemed to make the emptiness inside of him hurt, feeling what Kyubi felt all those years ago. Some made him so mad he wanted to crush those lightning brothers. But then, when he saw how Kyubi first met Inu-Yasha, he laughed so hard his sides hurt. =It wasn't that funny...= Kyubi grumbled.
Then he saw Kagome, the priestess. He couldn't believe she was from the future, it was all so strange...He saw how she immediately adopted Shippo after meeting him. Then, he saw those lightning brothers again...The ones who killed Shippo's biological father and took his fur. He felt anger upon seeing the pelt wrapped around that fat demon's torso.
He was jerked back to reality, Inu-Yasha in front of him, holding out some food and water. "Eat it, you've been in your mind for three days. You might be able to handle it all mentally but your physical body still needs food or you might just return to a rotten corpse."
Naruto obeyed, silently thankful. After the small meal, he returned to his mind and continued watching. He saw how Kagome defended the kitsune and risked her life for the dog demon, he in return saved her. He watched them see Inu-Yasha's old love, Kikyo. It became confusing when he found out Kagome was the reincarnation of Kikyo and things just became more confusing when the demon and dead priestess blamed each other for their hateful relationship, each accusing the other of betrayal.
He saw them meet up with a perverted but handsome monk named Miroku. He watched how they found out how the relationship of Kikyo and Inu-Yasha turned to deception by a clever demon named Naraku. Naruto hissed in anger when he found out but did not stop watching. He felt bad when he saw the curse Miroku had.
The blond watched them meet with a demon exterminator of the name of Sango and her pet Kirara, who thought Inu-Yasha was the one who slaughtered her village through another clever deception by Naraku. He watched as they became a tight group of friends, each completely trusting the other. They were like a family. When he saw Kohaku, his heart wretched in sorrow for the demon exterminators.
Every few doors he would return to the real world and eat. One time he was asked a question. "What was the last thing you saw?"
Naruto answered, "The so called Water God. I'm amazed, you actually met a Goddess..." Inu-Yasha did not reply.
When the ninja came back to watch more memories, he asked Kyubi, 'How long has it been?'
=A week and a half, kit.=
'Kit?'
Kyubi smiled and said, =Yeah. You -are- only a little fox.=
Naruto grinned. He turned to his left and opened a red door this time. When he met Kouga, the leader of the wolf demon tribe, he wasn't very impressed. He laughed when the proud wolf declared Kagome as his mate and laughed harder when Kagome slapped him.
Naruto enjoyed these memories, he felt like he really knew them yet didn't. That was fine, it comforted him, knowing that as odd as a group as they were, they still stuck together. Inu-Yasha: always throwing insults and threats to his friends, but never really meaning them. Shippo: the mischievous and artistic prankster (Inu-Yasha was right, he really was like Kyubi). Miroku: pervert, cunning, and knowledgeable. Kagome: pretty, loving to her family and friends, but had a short temper when it came to Inu-Yasha. Sango: strong for herself and friends, kind, but also had a short temper but only with perverts and Naraku. Kirara: fluffy, loyal, and knew just when someone needed comfort. He felt like he knew them, but he accepted that he didn't really.
Then he saw how the war started. It began with only Inu-Yasha with Naraku but then it started to involve so many more people. It turned out to be a battle of humans and demons. One half demon leading the humans and another half demon leading the demons. It was a great and long battle, thousands or millions died, the numbers too great to remember. Then, near the end of the battle, the Shikon no Tama was completed. Then was battle over that jewel. Naraku lost. Kagome purified it, winning the war. The demons ran.
Four months later, Naraku came back for revenge. He kidnapped Shippo and tainted him. His adopted family came to him but it was too late, he had changed. He was no longer the loveable, innocent kitsune. He was a true demon, through and through. Anger, hate, bloodlust, a primitive killing machine. It was all done through potions of different kinds, surgery of important organs, and torture.
(Flashback)
"AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!" Shippo screamed in pain. He was laid out on top of a table arms, legs, tails, and neck strapped down. Actually, arm. His right arm was being cut off. He didn't get any pain killers. "BASTARD! WHAT IN THE SEVEN HELLS ARE YOU DOING!?"
Naraku looked at him sinisterly, the look giving him shivers. Naraku was the epitome of pure evil. Simple as that. "I'm upgrading you."
Snap!
"FUCK YOU!" Shippo cursed when his whole arm came off.
Naraku stood a step back and studied the kitsune. "Actually, I think it would have been best if your arm was still attached to you. Don't fret, I'll reattach it."
Naraku chanted some spells under his breath while he magically sowed the limb back, causing Shippo to feel more pain. "FUCKER!"
"I have no doubt who you learned such fowl language from." Naraku grinned and took out these menacing looking tools. "This won't hurt one bit. Ku ku ku ku."
Screams of agony ripped from the kitsune's lips, which were blooded from constant biting.
All the while, Naraku said out loud to himself, "I think it would be too hard replacing your body, I'll just replace your heart and cut out a piece of your brain. Oh, and some...medications to further enhance you. Replacing your eyes wouldn't -hurt- either." Oh the demented irony.
Naraku held up a scoop like object. Not giving any warnings, he held the fox's head with one hand and continued to gouge those dazzling forest green eyes out. Finally, Shippo was mercifully spared further pain by passing out. He had only remained conscious so far by sheer will power. He said one last thing before he lost consciousness. "Bastard..."

All right! This was fast! But you know what? The last part needs to be written better but oh well.
You people BETTER review! Flames or comments or praises of any kinds are welcome, as long as it's true! Thank you! And thanks for everyone's support.
