Hey! This is the 14th chapter!
If you're a Naruto fan, I'm sorry for this chapter... .
So...hope you like it! Reviews please!
Diclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Many years ago, the most strongly enforced law was broken...
A human woman fell in love with a demon.
She carried the demon's child, receiving many daggers of hate from her family that had separated itself from her. She did not care; she was completely in love with the demon, who loved her back dearly. Yet when their child was born, a great curse was placed on the village for one of it's residents breaking the law.
In that single year, more people were killed than a whole century later...
With one flick of the child's finger, people fell to the ground, mutilated.
WIth one laugh from the child, whole villages were destroyed in a second.
Fearing for their safety as well as others, the demon moved them to an abandoned cave far away. The process took a long time; the demon had lost all his powers in punishment for betrothing a human.
And yet, they were completely happy despite the constant loneliness of being alone.
Then...the child turned four.
Then...the crescent moon came.
Every year, the family had sent an monthly letter to the village. Strangely, no one from the village ever heard from the lonely family again since the child's 4th birthday. Then, word came from a traveling trader that had accidentally stumbled into the cave.
The parents had been twisted in the most gruesome form. Blood covered the wall, and traces of the killer were gone. The child had disappeared...it is rumored that even today, the accursed child takes the form of a monster every crescent moon...
...that child...
That child was Kikyo...
"Agh!" Kikyo groaned, throwing up on the ground.
Sasuke stared. This wasn't Kikyo...?
Go...please...
He flinched as a quiet thought trickled through his mind. Indecisive, he remained rooted to his position; hesitant to leave Kikyo.
Please...for me...
"Get him!" Orochimaru snapped angrily.
Before Kabuto could make a move, Sasuke made up his mind. Leaping into the air, he ran as fast he could away from there.
"Wait."
Kikyo's voice startled Kabuto, making him freeze. Her sound was no longer soft and quiet; now it was hard and cruel. She smiled disarmingly, and Kabuto felt a shudder course through him.
"Let's have some fun." she grinned, her fangs making him wince.
Orochimaru remained silent. This form of Kikyo was completely unpredictable...and dangerous. One wrong word and he would die. Not moving, he ran over and possiblities of escape in his head. Kikyo would most likely kill Kabuto, and then turn to him.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Kikyo's eyes narrowed dangerously as she stared at Kabuto, who shuddered and looked away.
"Fine." Kikyo smirked and flicked her finger at him carelessly.
With one flick of a finger, Kabuto was torn to shreds.
With one flick of a finger, his blood was sprayed into the air like a grotesque waterfall...
Orochimaru's heart thudded quickly. It was his turn...
...but then he got his chance to save himself...
"Kikyo! Why did you do that?" Sakura screamed as she ran into the clearing. Acting swiftly, Orochimaru grabbed her and ran, leaving behind Naruto to distract Kikyo.
He smirked smugly. The loss of Kabuto was heavy, yes, but...not anymore. He could still get that Uchiha boy. This Sakura girl...he smiled nastily at her frightened eyes. This Sakura girl would be bait.
Naruto watched, eyes bulging as he was completely entranced into Kikyo's eyes.
"Kikyo..." he whispered, trying to break free of her stare. Then, suddenly throwing a kunai knife to divert her attention, he ran to his right, avoiding her narrowed eyes.
"Naru...Naruto." Kikyo's voice suddenly changed and she fell to the ground. "Run...please. Get...away..."
Naruto froze, looking at her. His heart pumping, he whispered,
"Kikyo...He still loves you. Go to him."
Kikyo cried, her fingers curling into fists. "I...can't...control. Run...now...before I-"
Naruto didn't move. He knew that just like he had the Kyuubi within him, Kikyo had two sides of her soul.
"Go to him! Don't you still love him too? He's sad...don't hurt him twice, Kikyo..."
Kikyo began to cry, trying desperately not to let her curse take over and ram her claws into Naruto's body. It started to rain, the sky leaking huge drops of rain down below that mixed with Kikyo's tears.
Naruto...I can't control myself...go away. Run. I don't want to hurt you...please...
Naruto heard the soft whispering in his mind, but he still remained immobile. Sakura and Sasuke had been so close to Kikyo...he couldn't just throw them all aside.
"Sakura...isn't she your best friend? Why? Why don't you just tell them that you love them?"
Kikyo's tears streamed even harder. Then...her curse took over...and she lunged at Naruto. Rain enveloped them both as she whispered, "I'm so sorry..." Naruto, despite his stomach being pierced through, smiled gently at her. With one look, he forgave her for everything she had done. "Go to them, Kikyo..."
With that...
Naruto, the person who had tried so hard for his friends, who had understood Kikyo's feelings, who had stayed even at his own risk...
was gone.
I warned you! Sorry...but I thought that this story needed a bit more sadness to it.
So...what do you think? Review please!
