Demon from Container's Voice

Demons Clash, A Sound-nin's Retribution

Naruto jumped foward with lightning speed, but Hakera was just as fast as he blocked. Blank white eyes stared into green eyes as they grinned. Raj went around for a kick, but Hakera blocked. He rolled back and landed on a lower branch as Hakera jumped into the air. He brought out a kunai and began twirling it around his hand as he came down on Raj. Raj blocked with ease, but Hakera jumped away, making hand seals.

"Sound Blast!", he shouted as he sent down a giant blast of sound, causing Raj to crash down from the branch into a lower one. Hakera raised a clawed hand with an evil grin on his face. "I'll kill you here, Raj", he said. He jumped up and came down at Raj, but Raj quickly made hand seals.

"Katon: Karyuu Endan!", he shouted as a dragon made of flames shot out of his mouth, but Hakera quickly made more hand seals and Substituted himself. Raj looked around for Hakera, but he was no where to be found. He activated his Byakugan and looked through the trees until he saw Hakera in the tree behind him. He grinned as he waited for him to attack.

"Sound Clone!", Hakera yelled. Raj saw about ten Hakeras formed around him. He looked at each of them until they all suddenly jumped at him. He brought out a kunai and slashed one, but as the kunai passed through and the clone faded away, immense sound filled his ears as he fell to his knees. Then he heard Hakera yell,"Sound Combo!" He felt strange vibrations throughout his body as he clutched his ears to no avail. Hakera pulled out a kunai and was about to stab Raj in the back with a kunai, but a red tail of chakra grabbed his wrist as he felt something prying into his mind.

"Leave this kit alone!", a demonic voice boomed from Raj's mouth. Hakera's white chakra rose into a tail and it struck at Raj. Raj's tails blocked with no problem. It was four tails each at the moment, but they were relentless as they whipped at each other. Hakera was about to strike with a kunai when he suddenly felt something break into his mind. He fell to a knee as their tails whipped around and the two glared at each other. Suddenly, both their eyes went dull as they stared with black looks.

Raj and Hakera stood in a giant, pitch black room. Hakera looked around, curious and worried of where he was. Raj just glanced to the side and knew where he was. There were two cages, one behind each of them. He was here before, but this time, Hakera was there too. Him and his demon.

"Seems like you havent been here before", Raj said, calmly. Hakera looked at him strangely.

"What do you know?", he asked, suspiciously. Raj shrugged as he pointed behind him at the cage.

"Our demons have connected our minds...These cages are our demons' prisons", Raj explained,"I dont know why, but they connected us." Hakera glanced back and saw a giant, white wolf staring at him. It bared its fangs in a ferocious grin.

"Yeah, fool...You've never thought about where exactly this power came from", it growled. Raj grinned.

"So...why have you brought us here, fox?", Raj asked, glancing back at the cage behind him.

"To reveal who you really face now...You are a pathetic, mindless, hairless ape, but you should see who you two are fighting before making decisions on each other", the demon fox grinned. Everything began fading to black as they could each see another image.

Hakera now stared at a market street of Konoha. He saw a young Raj walking down the street as he entered a store. Soon, there was a big commotion as the owner began yelling.

"Demon brat!", he yelled in anger,"Get out of here! I wont let you steal from me!" Hakera watched as the young Raj burst out of the store, tears in his eyes and a big man with a knife in his hand. "And dont you dare try stealing from me again!"

"So...hes a thief too?", Hakera asked with a grin as he watched the young Raj run closer. But then he noticed something that made his eyes widen. He was running with money clutched in his hand. He looked back at the shop owner who was glaring at the boy.

"Stupid demon brat", he said before turning to enter the store again. Hakera gaped at how evil these people were to Raj.

Raj stood in a street of Oto. He looked around and saw a young Hakera practicing jutsu.

"Kyuchiyose no Jutsu!", he shouted as a giant three headed snake appeared. The pale snake sannin, Orochimaru, walked up to him.

"Ah...the three headed snake at only an academy student?", he asked with a grin,"You are very powerful...Maybe you do have what it takes to defeat...him." Hakera looked back.

"Him?", he asked. Orochimaru waved it off.

"You will know before you take your Chuunin Exams", he replied. Orochimaru turned to walk away and went off toward the Otokage tower.

"This was his life?", Raj asked, disgusted,"He doesnt know the meaning of pain." Soon after he said that, five kids walked up around him.

"So...you're Otokage-sama's new favorite?", one of them asked. Hakera brushed them off with no mind and began walking past him when he was violently shoved back. "Im talking to you!", he said, angered,"Just because you are the Otokage-sama's favorite doesnt give you the right to-" He was cut off as snakes shot from his sleeve and bit into his throat.

"Leave me alone", Hakera whispered as all the kids scattered. He sighed as he slumped to the ground, leaning on a house.

Hakera now stood in a new scene. It was the Ninja Academy in Konoha. Iruka sat at the front of the group as he watched them write down notes.

"Now...we will be pairing up to spar", Iruka announced,"Pick your partner." Hakera watched as Raj got up grinning. He walked over to a girl with white eyes. The same girl he had defeated in the prelims.

"Ready, Yin?", he asked. Yin shook her head.

"Raj...you'll never get used to other fighting styles if you just fight Hyuugas", she sighed as she walked toward Uchiha Sakura. Raj sighed and looked back to see a boy sleeping on his desk.

"Hey, Shika!", Raj yelled,"Still need a partner?" Shika sighed.

"Troublesome", he muttered as he got up and went to a place where they could fight. The two went at each other at full strength. But when Shika tried catching Raj with his shadow, a tremendous source of energy sprang up as it threw Shika back with red chakra. Shika looked up fearful now while everyone looked on in fear. Iruka quickly ran in the way and nailed Raj in the stomach to knock him out.

"Okay kid!", he yelled,"Nothing to see here!" But then he heard him mutter,"Its awakening so soon?"

---

Raj now stood in front of an academy. Probally the ninja academy in Oto. He saw Hakera sitting alone as everyone ran around talking to their friends, but then one came up to him.

"Hey, Hakera", the boy said. Hakera looked up surprised.

"You're not gonna taunt me?", he asked.

"Why would I? By the way, Im Yamcha", he said with a grin. Hakera grinned too as he clasped his hand. Time seemed to speed up and then he saw Hakera in front of the same academy the next morning. This time, all his students were dead. And he mourned over Yamcha. Orochimaru walked up behind him.

"If you kill the demon container, I will revive this kid for you", Orochimaru said as Hakera looked up. Suddenly, Hakera put on a look of determination as he placed the headband on.

---

They now stood in the same black room from before.

"Do you see who you fight, kit?", Raj's demon fox asked. Raj nodded as he watched Hakera look at the ground sadly.

"You really did suffer, huh?", Hakera asked. Raj grunted. The two demons nodded to each other.

"You two are getting back to the real world", they said in unison as their world warped back to the forest. Their tails continued to lash at each other. They withdrew their chakra as they jumped to different tree branches. Raj and Hakera glared at each other.

"Raj!", they heard a familiar voice shout as Rin jumped down next to him,"Theres no way we're gonna let you face a demon on your own!" Raj grinned as Lao jumped down beside him too.

"Thats right!", Lao yelled, but this made Hakera grin.

"Hakera!", Raj yelled,"Lets get back!"

"Yeah!", Hakera replied. Rin and Lao looked at Raj puzzled.

"I'll explain on the way", he replied as they began jumping back toward Konoha.
