Chapter 7

Blood spattered everywhere. Time seemed to stop for Uzumaki Naruto. There, in front of him, was the most horrible scene he could imagine. Genkai's arm hand actually impacted hard enough to go through Tayuya's body. Tayuya's eyes were wide open. She seemed to be trying to catch her breath. It wasn't coming easily to her. Genkai had a wild look in his eye, as if he wasn't done. And he wasn't. He removed his arm from the inside of the female ninja and head butted her a few feet from Naruto. His eyes shot opened.

"Tayuya-chan…Tayuya-chan!" Naruto crawled over to her. Her eyes were slowly closing. She used her strength to reach up and touch his face. Naruto couldn't control the tears flowing down his face. Tayuya was dying right in front of his eyes. A few days ago, that wouldn't have been anything he cared about, but since they had spent a bit of time together he had started developing a sense of closeness with the redhead. And now she was dying right before his eyes. His little knowledge of the healing jutsu wouldn't cut it this time. He needed Shizune or Tsunade. He needed someone.

"N…Naruto…" Tayuya said quietly as a small smile crept onto her face. Naruto shook his head.

"Don't talk, save your energy," the blond ninja's tears splattered on the girl's chest. She gave him a small smile and continued to talk.

"Today was…the single best day of my life. I've never bonded with anyone in my entire life. You are my first. Naruto…despite my constant trash talking, after spending some time with you…I realized that not all people are the same. They don't all want you for your abilities. Some like you for who you are. Naruto, you the first person to accept me out of kindness and not so you could exploit me. Thanks…I won't forget you…even when I pass on to the Other World. I won't forget you…Naruto-kun." At this point, she stopped talking and hacked up more blood. Her eyes filled with tears as she ran her hand down Naruto's check. They then fell limp to her side. She was still alive, but very faintly.

"How nice," an evil voice behind Naruto spoke. Naruto's emotions went from sadness to extreme anger. He couldn't stand Genkai. Red chakra began to envelop him. He began to growl. Before he was consumed by the fox's chakra, he used a bit to heal Tayuya to a state where she had a chance. Her huge stomach wound healed almost instantly. Her breathing went from erratic to calm. Then, Naruto turned back to Genkai, who was staring at the red chakra engulfing the orange ninja.

"What is that?" he asked slowly. Don't tell me…you are a demon too?" Naruto shook his head.

"When I was a baby, the fourth Hokage sealed the fox demon Kyuubi inside of me. Me and Kyuubi have reached an understanding, and now, I can call on his chakra when I need it." Four chakra tails sprouted from Naruto's back. His face looked feral. Genkai knew of the fox demon Kyuubi. He knew that it had unlimited chakra. And he knew that he was in real trouble now. Level One Demon Stage couldn't defeat the fox. He needed to push it to the next level. But that was a level he hadn't had time to practice control over. He wasn't sure what to expect, but he had to do something.

Flashback

It was very hot. The flames of hell licked at Genkai's heels as he entered the chamber of his creator, Satan. He was finally going to find some answers.

"My son," the devil spoke. His face was cloaked in a black hood. He spoke in a raspy voice. "The demon within you grows stronger each day. You were even able to kill Cerberus. But you are holding yourself back. Why?"

Genkai spoke firmly, despite the intimidation of his father's presence. "I have to know…what am I? What the hell am I? I thought I was an exceptionally gifted shinobi at first…but when I fought Cerberus, something inside of me lost it when I was on the verge of death. I nearly lost touch with reality. I couldn't control my body, there was another presence. An evil one that wanted to shred everything in its path. But it seemed extremely frustrated for some reason. And Tyson says that you would have all the answers."

The devil chuckled and looked into the ceiling. "Not even the power of his heavenly mother and the archangels could stop him from finding out about his true destiny." Satan turned back to Genkai, who still looked confused.

"My boy, it started before you were born. Your father came to me in need. He asked that I grant him immortality. He said he would give me anything I wanted. At first I thought that there was nothing a mortal could do for me, but then he mentioned his son. And this made me happy. I told him that in exchange for his son's soul, I would grant him immortality and great power. He quickly accepted. You are my ultimate creation. A fusion of demon and human whose true purpose is to help me. The presence within you is merely the evil you cannot yet control. But your mother in Heaven is binding it. But…we can fix that."

Genkai dropped to his knees. "I'm… a demon? That's what it all is? My father sold my soul for immortality? No…it can't be true!"

"But it is, my boy," Satan whispered harshly. You've only experienced Level One of Three. You shouldn't push yourself to level two until you can completely control Level One, or else you'll risk losing yourself to the darkness."

"But I'm already lost." Genkai shook his head. "And Yumi…is she..?"

End Flashback

Genkai watched Naruto charge at him. No, he thought. I can handle this on my own.

Naruto smashed the spot Genkai had just been in. The devil demon flipped into the air. Naruto quickly launched himself into the air and engaged the enemy in a fistfight. Each blow was meant to kill, but luckily Genkai was able to black each hit…barely. Was it worth losing himself to the darkness to defeat this ninja?

Naruto landed a few yards in front of Genkai and launched his chakra hand, successfully smashing the devil into a rock. Genkai slid to the ground. The evil inside of him beaconed him to call upon its power. But Genkai didn't listen. He had to win this himself.

Naruto sped into the trees. He used his chakra hands at random times in attempts to crush the devil. Three times Genkai was smashed. Then Naruto kicked him and clawed him until he landed in a heap on the ground. Naruto panted heavily. As he looked up, he could see the moon going away. Morning was coming soon. His target was still alive. He would have to change that. He looked over to Tayuya, who now seemed to be asleep.

Genkai howled in agony. He couldn't take this. His body was so weak that the demon was taking control all by itself. The demon would be merciless. He may even shred the whole town of Konoha. And if that happened, then Orochimaru may not keep up his end of the bargain and release his sister from his evil grasp. Or, maybe the demon would also shred Orochimaru. Whatever the demon was going to do, he was going to do it now.

Kyuubi mused a dilemma over in his mind. Shred or smash? Which was more satisfying? Naruto had counted on his power to crush the evil demon, and now he got to choose how it died. But his eyes shot open as Genkai stood up once again. His body moved as if it were drunken. Then, it tensed up. A fierce look reflected in his eyes. He roared extremely loud. It shook the entire forest. Kyuubi hadn't had time to blink before Naruto was hit in the gut hard.

"Dark Crush!" a deep voice boomed from Genkai's throat. Dark energy shot from Genkai's body and wrapped around Naruto's throat like a collar. It began squeezing tightly, and Naruto gasped for air. Kyuubi used his strength to raise the boy's hand and use his chakra to cut the energy rope. Naruto gasped for air. Before he could compose himself, Genkai's foot smashed into his face. Blood ran down Naruto's face. Kyuubi saw the demon move at a speed rivaling his own. Before Naruto hit a surface, he was kicked in his ribs the other way. Once again, the devil beat him to surface he was going to crash into and kicked him in the gut upwards. Naruto hacked up blood and hit the ground hard when Genkai's fist drove into his back and knocked him down.

Naruto's body was going to e broken and sore before this fight ended. Kyuubi didn't give a damn though. He was more interested in testing himself against this demon. But he needed more power. Naruto's resistance was so feeble now that he was able to barely squeeze out another tail to increase his chakra. He ran at the devil and began punching and clawing at high speeds. They were making so much energy that the chakra was visible. The power being exerted from the warring demons was enough to dispel the dark barrier. The demons jumped back from each other. Kyuubi opened both of Naruto's palms and created a double Rasengan. He sped at the evil demon, who was now making use of the Sharingan's ability to slow down the enemy's movement and jumped a fraction in time. The power sphere's crashed through the forest and created a new clearing.

Kyuubi turned around in time to see the evil demon finish making hand signs. "Devil Doom!" he cried as a huge Dark energy surrounded it. He raced towards Kyuubi. Kyuubi made it out in time, but the demon detonated the energy and the radius of the blast caused him to receive minor damage. He shook his head. The forest was becoming less of one with every power attack. He dived with his mouth open at Genkai. The devil was just recovering from its attack when Kyuubi tore into its flesh and used his chakra to make the wound burn. The demon howled and kicked Naruto's body off. Genkai punched him twice in the face and his dark energy formed a fist, which punched him in the gut. Kyuubi kicked the devil back and hit him with all of his tails, sending him sprawling into a tree.

Kyuubi let Naruto breathe. Even he was experiencing problems. He looked up. The sky was very cloudy. A small ray of sunshine struck him on his forehead protector. How long had this fight been going on? He looked back at the devil, who appeared to be grabbing his face and body in pain. He was hurting badly. After a few minutes it stopped. Genkai was extremely beaten. Blood covered his face. But Naruto also wasn't much better. He could feel the extent of the damage. He could heal him now, but he would risk vulnerability. The devil seemed to be thinking the same, because it looked ready to continue the fight.

Here we go again, Kyuubi thought as he sped into combat.

Tayuya looked into the sky. It was early morning. The clouds covered the morning sun. But her eyes were sparkling as if the sun was shining in it. This battle may be over soon if she could depart some information to Naruto. She could see that Naruto was no longer himself. She had watched nearly an hour of the fight, waiting for the Dark Demon to slip up, and if she was correct, he finally had. She watched Naruto, or whatever the hell he was, fight Genkai, or whatever the hell he was. When they backed away from conflict, Tayuya called out to Naruto.

"Naruto-kun!" she said. Naruto slowly turned to Tayuya, afraid to take his eyes off of his opponent. "I think I've found the weakness. I need to test my theory though."

Naruto and Kyuubi's voices spoke as one. "I don't have time for theories, I need to beat him now, not after going through the Scientific method!"

"Naruto, I know you're tired, but hear me out. Remember when the sunlight reflected off of your headband?" When the boy nodded, she continued. "I noticed that the light had reflected into the demon's face. That's when it started clutching itself in pain. There's no time to test the theory. We have to expose it to sunlight. But there's a slight problem." She pointed towards the sky. Naruto immediately saw the problem. It was going to be a cloudy day. The sun's light couldn't breach the clouds.

"I'll take care of it," Naruto said. "But he'll catch on as soon as I try." Tayuya shook her head.

"I can take care of that." Tayuya said. But we've only got time to try this once before he realizes what we know about him. We have to do this right."

Genkai shook his head and closed his eyes. This Kyuubi was extremely powerful, but he was willing to take this battle until the end of time. Genkai's body was crushed, but the demon soul made it fight. He couldn't feel the pain, so he could keep it up. At least, until the body was completely crushed. Or totally used up. He opened his eyes. The Kyuubi was lying on the floor. It's chakra continued to seep from the host though. He smiled.

"I see your host is finished!" the demon laughed. "Kyuubi, it's shame that you are restricted to such a weak body. I pity you. But don't fret. I'll use my ability to make you a part of us!" On the hands of Genkai, the dark energy formed two beasts resembling evil demons. They roared fiercely. Genkai ran quickly to Kyuubi. The beast began to tear the chakra from Naruto. The first tail was ripped off and eaten by Genkai. The rest of the chakra soon followed. Naruto screamed as his demon was ripped from his body. Genkai laughed as he finished his meal. Now, he was even stronger before!

Genkai looked up and saw Tayuya standing in front of him. He smiled. "How does it feel now? You're so weak! You can't beat me! I'll eat you for dessert!" Suddenly, his eyes shot open. He looked to his feet, and two zombified hands were holding them, sticking him to his spot. He smiled and said, "I don't need to move to defeat you!"

"But you will to defeat him!" Tayuya said as she pointed to the sky. Genkai saw Naruto very high in the sky, close to the clouds. Genkai looked to the ground. There was nobody there. The chakra he had eaten. Now that he thought about it, it hadn't made him feel any stronger.

"An illusion?" Genkai said. "A nice try. You tried to keep me tied down so the orange one and Kyuubi could get help. I'll deal with you once I stop him. Stay." Dark energy wrapped around Tayuya. Tayuya struggled, but couldn't get free. Genkai smiled and jumped after Naruto, in a direct line behind the blond ninja. Tayuya looked at the ground. The rest is up to you, Naruto-kun, she thought.

Naruto was so close. He just needed a few more meters now. This was one hell of a jump. To the clouds. That's where he needed to get.

Behind him, he saw Genkai coming up fast behind him. The demon was crazed now, and wouldn't stop at anything. Naruto began the process.

"DOUBLE RASENGAN!" he yelled as the whirling energy balls formed in his hands. Suddenly, hands clamped down on his ankles. He looked back and saw Genkai. His claws had dug into his ankles.

"Looks like you failed to run away!" Genkai yelled. "I win, Kyuubi! This next move will decide this match!" Naruto nodded.

"It certainly will won't it?" he said. "Also, who says I was running away? Maybe I was trying to get you here!" Genkai looked confused until he saw Naruto put his Rasengan in the clouds. The wind created from the chakra ball was repelling the clouds. And directly behind these clouds happened to be…

"THE SUN!" Genkai cried out as a huge gap in the clouds revealed the gas giant. The sunlight shined down on the two demons. It was extremely bright this close up. Like a beam from heaven, it shone down to the spot where Tayuya stood.

"GYAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Genkai let out a horrible scream. Smoke rose from his body. The dark energy began melting off of his body. He released Naruto's ankles and fell to the ground. There was a huge explosion and the dark energy combusted. Naruto smiled and used his chakra to land safely onto the ground. Tayuya was waiting for him. She looked extremely weary. But she smiled as Naruto landed next to her. Kyuubi's chakra left him, and he fell to the ground in a heap. Tayuya fell beside him. His eyes were barely open.

"Looks like we won," he said. He looked into Tayuya's eyes. She looked back into his. "Thanks for thinking up that strategy."

Tayuya shook her head. "If you hadn't healed me, I'd be dead right now. So the credit goes to you."

Naruto coughed. "It was…the Kyuubi that healed you. I didn't do anything." Tayuya shook her head.

"I don't think Kyuubi gave a fuck about me. It was your will that told him to help me."

'Damn right I don't give a fuck about you!' Kyuubi said in Naruto's head. Naruto mentally thanked him.

'Fuck you too Naruto. I'm still gonna shred the both of you one day!'

Naruto fell completely silent. Tayuya let his head rest on her lap. She looked at Genkai's body. Someone was recovering it. She couldn't tell who. Orochimaru? Well whoever it was, they were getting ready to leave with Genkai in tow. He shot her a look that said, 'This isn't over, bitch' and he left.

Tayuya knew it too. Orochimaru wasn't likely to let her off too easily. But for now, she was satisfied being safe with Naruto. With Naruto-kun. Safe with Naruto…

With that, she too collapsed.
