"Now to make sure your conjuration spell checks out always double-check your Latin before you recite. One simple mispronunciation could mean life or death. Or it just won't work out for you, but that always comes with consequences. Incantation is a binding between the human world and the underworld. Every time you alter the natural you must give something in return." Hiashi Hyuuga turned his eyes towards the small girl sitting ramrod straight in her seat. Her eyes glued intently to the board.

Good, she was paying attention.

"A mishap in incantation can cause something minor like a paper cut, or drastic like the taking of your soul. Now, this is why you must always do a sacrifice before you attempt to do a spell. It places the repercussions on something other than yourself. For example, sacrifice a lamb and then perform a spell for good crops. Now when balance is taken the lamb's life is exchanged. Do the spell for good crops without sacrifice and you may very well lose an arm or worse. Now-"

"Just like the Elrich brothers?"

Hiashi stopped mid-sentence. "Just like who?"

Hinata fidgeted a little in her seat as she averted her eyes from her father's stare. Her fingers a jumbled mess in her lap from the sudden attention. "Oh- uh.. Uh.. the-they a-are umm…"

"The Elrich brothers are characters in an anime called Full Metal Alchemist. They basically perform "magic" based on equivalent exchange. You can't create something without an exchange of something with equal value." Neji spoke up, interrupting Hinata's sad attempt to explain herself. Hiashi sighed as he scratched the nape of his neck.

"Well, Alchemy is some of the earliest forms of 'science'. But those fools were just banging rocks together and spouting philosophy. I will say the principal they had of equivalent exchange wasn't exactly wrong. They just didn't understand the mechanics of the exchange."

Hinata raised her hand timidly.

"Yes, daughter?"

"So what did they do wrong father? I-i mean t-technically they do t-the same thing w-we do. But why didn't they s-see results?" She bit her lip in question. Hinata rarely ever asked questions during spell class with her father because she was able to pick up concepts quite easily. But this just didn't make sense to her. Why didn't Alchemy work? Wasn't it all the same?

"Because Hinata, dirt will always be dirt. The human world is made up of all the same things, trying to exchange something for another in this world won't have any effect because it's all made up of the same stuff. Our magic works because we exchange things of our world for power from the underworld. Then we can affect our world. Think of it as a currency."

Her brow rose up in question? Currency?

"Tell me, Hinata, What do demons want?"

Pft that was an elementary question. "Our i-immortal soul."

"Yes. And have you ever wondered why? This human realm is rich. It abides by logic and Underworld is in a perpetual state of illogic and mayhem. They desire what we have. And in turn, we desire the impossibilities of theirs. They can 'buy' things in that world with our 'currency' that they can't with their own and vice versa. That is where the Alchemist failed. They didn't have enough 'money' to pay the price for what they wanted."

Her eyes shone with amazement as she listened intently to every word her father said. This is why she loved these lessons with her father. Every new thing she learned validated her place as a witch. She was apart of something secret, something the world wasn't in on, at least not really. Sure everyone had heard the stories but, he, her family, they was the real deal. Not some anime characters or fairy tales. It made her feel special in a way where everywhere else she was ordinary.

"Now, after you two finish tracing this summoning circle I want you to go over your Latin worksheets. Make sure you practice your pronunciation Neji, ask Hinata if you need help. That ends our lesson for today. Once you are all finished meet me in the Dojo, I want to go over our kata's."

A soft voice could be heard on the other side of the grand mahogany wood. "Aperta ianua, mi pulchra lignum, aperire ostium, et non volunt scire." Suddenly the door gilded open, revealing the petite woman on the other side. Bright violet eyes and deep blue inky curls peeked out from behind the frame. "Honey, dinners ready." Himiko smiled as she looked at the endearing scene.

Hinata and Neji sitting next to each other at their desk while Hiashi stood in front of the huge chalkboard. Incantations, blood rights, diagrams, and summoning circles littered the board. Ah, she remembered the days, learning how to do spells. Himiko took a step in but nearly slipped.

Looking down she noticed the blood. A chicken's head lay next to the door, right next to the trash bin, leaving a puddle of blood right in front of the door. "Honey. What did I tell you about keeping this room clean!" She glared daggers at the poor man. "Clean this shit up now before I make you eat your tongue for dinner instead."

Neji snorted from his seat at the desk.

"God, what am I supposed to do with you." Himiko rubbed her swollen belly in stress. As she waddled back out. The door slamming behind her.

Hiashi sighed again. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately ever since his wife became pregnant with their second child. Himiko's temper seemed to be growing the farther along she became. "You two hurry up so you can eat dinner. Then we'll go through our katas." Getting a rag he quickly wiped up the blood then put the chickens head in the trash (he wasn't a good shot) Before he exited, closing the door with a domineering slam.

Hinata woke up. Staring at her pastel purple walls she thought about that dream she just had, well memory. She didn't like to remember things.

Hanabi opened her door. "Morning sis! Breakfast is ready. You better hurry up! Your 9'oclock class starts soon." With that quick note Hanabi shut her door. Hinata listed as her sister's footsteps trailed all the way down the stairs. Her sister…

She scratched her head in contemplation. She felt like she was forgetting something. Reaching to her nightstand Hinata grabbed her phone off the charger. Unlocking it her phone was hit with some messages.

Naruto Kun ;) : Hey

Naruto Kun ;) : You up?

Naruto Kun ;) : Hinata don't tell me you fell asleep :(

She gasped! Looking at the time stamp it read 9 PM. Her stomach dropped. There's no way she would've fallen asleep at that time. She was a night owl. Thinking back on it after teaching her 5'oclock class at the dojo she just went home and ... slept. That was strange. She even remembered casting a no sleep spell just so she wouldn't accidentally fall asleep and miss Naruto's text.

So someone must've done a counteraction spell. And then cast asleep one on her. But who?

Me: I'm so sorry naruto!

Me: I accidentally fell asleep!

Me: I'll make it up to you whatever you want. Maybe we can just meet tonight instead?

She bit her lip in anger. Whoever messed with her opportunity to be with Naruto Kun… She'd have no choice but to punish them. It's only fair. Glancing at the time she frowned. 8:15 AM

Jumping out of bed she quickly ran through her morning routine, dressed, and ran downstairs.

Breakfast would have to be skipped otherwise she would miss her class. That was fine, she would just grab a power bar from the vending machine at the dojo.

Despite her perceptiveness, she didn't notice her father's worried glance as she scurried out the door right past him.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT FOX!"

A growl was forced out of the young man's mouth as the whip snapped against his back. Chained by his wrist Naruto dangled from the dark cellar's ceiling. "How the fuck was I supposed to know she had a protection spell on her?" Naruto barked.

A swift punch to his face sent the boy teetering, the force of the punch knocked his balance off as his toes barely touched the concrete floor.

"Because you're a fucking demon. You're supposed to know this shit!" The whipped snapped, hitting his bare chest and thighs this time. "I should chop that little shrimp dick of yours right off and feed it to that Hyuuga bitch! I'm sure she'd enjoy it." The whip struck his abdomen. Just above his precious bits.

Naruto grit his teeth. The pain searing as his eyes nearly rolled to the back of his head. He cursed that weak human body he was in. "Whatever bitch! I swear once I'm free i-"

Another crack of the whip and his jaw was ripped nearly clean in half. It hung loosely buy the fat of his cheeks, drooping off his gums revealing his fangs that glistened in the low hanging light.

"That's better, I was tired of hearing that hole you call a mouth. Don't forget Kyuubi. You're mines. I own you. And as long as I have you tethered to that meat sack you'll feel every bit of pain just like a human. Though I'm sure its nothing compared to what you've felt in hell."

A gurgle was the only response.

"Now, after you heal yourself up I want you to break that protection spell on the girl. And KILL HER! We only have one more day without the moon in the sky Naruto. That bitch is too powerful to deal with when the moon is in the sky. We have to take the opportunity now!"

After a couple more lashings the steel gate trapping of the dungeon was slammed shut.

Naruto dangled in silence, his jaw and marks slowly but surely pulling themselves back together. Until he was whole. Yanking hard on his wrists the chain broke, collapsing to the floor he groaned. He rubbed his jaw in frustration, fuck that still hurt.

People always tried to own him, claim his power for their own. People were stupid.

Naruto's eyes glowed red as he stared out, beyond the bars of his cage.

People grow weak. People die. He smirked as he grabbed onto the silver bars. His flesh sizzled as the ancient magic worked its purpose. To keep him in. To make him obey.

His time would come.
