CHAPTER 1
~I~
Naruto woke up with a headache; everything was a blur after the meeting with the pure demons. He sat up and gazed at his bed, he clanged his hands on the covers at the memory of the meeting.
Gaara looked at him stunned, Naruto had forbid them from breaking the seal that kept their full power from being used. "Naruto… are you really sure about this?" Yagura asked the blond boy. Everyone turn to look at their leader that in the near future he will become the king of all the demons and half-demons.
Naruto sat back down "Yagura, if we don't, they will kill us once they get a chance, I don't want any of you to be unprotected while danger is out there, I'm won't be able to protect all of you, so I want for you to partner up with one another a to watch each other's backs." He told them in a very serious tone that was certainly a rare sight for the Princes to show, all the main demons nodded unable to say anything to the blond.
"Naruto even after the seal is broken will you grant us permeation to transform into our true forms?" Fū asked Naruto turn to face her then he looked at everyone until his azure eyes landed on Killer Bee. Naruto sighted and nodded "If that's the only thing that can help you then, yes, and even if you think that you may win with out it, I suggest you transform, I don't want to risk loosing any of you." He said softly.
Everyone nodded and once the meeting was over they talked about how things have been in their lives and such. They knew the little bit of peace they had now, won't last much longer as a battle that they knew was unavoidable, was on their way. Naruto watched over them, silently wishing he could give them more of this happiness they had at that moment, but he knew he could only do so much, and it made him feel useless. Gaara was keeping watch of his friend and call him over to enjoy the fun while it lasted.
Hours passed and everyone retire to their homes. The teams now official and were like this:
One-Tailed Shukaku (Gaara) and Eight-Tailed Giant Ox (Killer Bee)
Two-Tailed Monster Cat (Yugito) Six-Tailed Slug (Utakata)
Three-Tailed Giant Turtle (Yagura) Seven-Tailed Horned Beetle (Fū)
Four-Tailed Monkey (Rōshi) Five-Tailed Dolphin Horse (Han)
Naruto got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower, after he change and eat breakfast, he brushed his teeth and head out for school, and play the role of a weak human boy. He walked looking up at the morning sky, not really paying much attention on what he was doing, well at least it appear that way, but he was on high alert, even more then other in occasions, he was wondering who was the person that carried the sent of the poison? Did the person know who he was? Why was he near Sasukes house? Did Sasuke know the stranger? And so on until he reached his high school.
He walked in side and away from the gentle breeze of spring, it was the beginning of April and only two months for summer break (1) so he walked to his locker and got his books and headed for his first class of the day, Health with Iruka, the man could be a mother hen, but when he's angry he can be pretty scary, and Naruto knows from experience, they are close since they live on the same apartment building and they go out to eat ramen from time to time.
Before Naruto could enter the class he was stopped by a high pinch voice that could only mean one thing, someone wanted something from him and won't stop until she gets what she wants. "Naruto! Hey" he turn to face the pink headed girl that he call friend, he also had a 'crush' on her but that was only a cover for the blond, I mean who would suspect an innocent blond that was loud and cheerful and also an idiot on both love and school to be the most powerful of the Pure Demons? But c'mon who would like such a shallow girl? He looked inside the classroom and a boy with the most ridiculous hair cut sat, 'Oh right, there's Lee' he thought and turn to the girl once again "What's up Sakura?" he asked in a an over exited voice, she smile sweetly and asked in her 'sweet' voice "I'm throwing a party Friday night and I was wondering if you would come?" 'Oh no' she was inviting him to something which only lead to one thing "And I was also wondering if you could bring Sasuke with you?" she asked innocently.
Naruto could either say yes and go to the party with a very moody Uchiha Sasuke or he could say no and have a good time at Sasukes place with a slightly moody Uchiha. He liked the last one better "I'll love to," he said, and her face lit up "But I can't, sorry" he said in a sad voice, and Sakura frown. If she could've said something she would've but the bell ring and Naruto went inside leaving a fuming girl outside. He grin mentally.
Iruka walked in a few minutes latter, Naruto didn't have this class with the raved boy but he had the rest of them. Iruka started to talk about the risks of having sex but Naruto didn't care, he was a demon and nothing like that could kill him, practically nothing could kill him except another demon which was highly impossible, no demon would challenged the princes of the Fox clan.
His mother had died to birth Naruto, she gave her blood and soul to make sure he would become the heir of the clan and gave him the mysteries of the supernatural world. He was brought out of his thought by Iruka's bang on the desk "Naruto are you listening? This is serious one of this disease could kill you!" he said in a matter-of-fact tone, Naruto snorted mentally "I'm listening" he said calmly "You better" Iruka replied.
And so first period ended and next was P.E. with Mighty Guy, that guy had a problem with exercise, he took it to the extreme even demons don't take it that seriously. Naruto sighed and hurried to the gym; if they were late Guy could make them run 50 laps around the school gym in only 10 minutes! No problem for 'Kyuubi' but for Naruto, let's just say that the only ones to be able to really pull the 50 laps in ten minutes were Lee and Guy.
Thankfully Naruto was in time and fully changed as the bell ringed "Good morning my youthful students!" he yell "Today we are doing the High Jump!" he said pointing at the huge mat. Naruto looked at Sasuke and Sasuke looked back, "In for the challenge Dobe?" Sasuke asked smirking, Naruto glared and then grinned "I'll kick your ass Teme" he said confidently making Sasuke growl slightly.
They would come up to jump by last names so Sasuke went fist making a jump of 4'3 feet tall, he smirk as he walk to the blond who snorted in return, making Sasuke glare. Naruto ran preparing to jump, and clearing the record of the 4'3 feet, and so on until Kiba, Shikamaru, Sai, Sasuke and Naruto were left with the bar was set on 4'8 feet tall.
Kiba and Sikamaru didn't make it and Sai barely did. It was Sasuke's turn and he cleared it and so did Naruto. Guy set the bar at 4'9 feet tall and this time Sai didn't make it. Naruto went to Guy and asked him to set it at 5'3 feet. Naruto walked back to Sasuke a huge grin clearly showing. Sasure glared at the blond angel and went to the white line that signal the beginning of the run, Sasuke inhale deeply and ran as fast as he could and then jumped… he was going to clear it but his right foot bumped into the bar and the bar fell down, Sasuke cursed and got up. He glared daggers at the demon boy, but he seems to pay no mind to it.
Naruto stood over the line calmly and he ran at high speed, he balanced all of his weight on his left foot and jumped, his back smoothly passed the bar as both of his legged were perfectly angel so they wouldn't hit the bar, everyone watched in awe as he cleared it and he landed softly on the mat. Once up, he grinned at Sasuke, and said teen glared. "I told you I would kick you ass!" Naruto cheered "Shut up Dobe" Sasuke order, and with that, class was over and then came English (L.A) with Kurenai.
Kurenai decided to do a pop quiz and Nauto wanted to fail it but he couldn't afford another C- so he made sure to get a B- at least. Naruto's faced was of an idiot class clown, but even he had to work in school if he doesn't want Tsunade the principal yelling and ordering him around, so he tried his best to pass with the lowest–average grades possible.
Next was science with Kakashi, this class was like free period since Kakashi would always be late for a reason or another, but most of the time it was for no reason at all. Kakashi had showed up 10 minutes before class was finished and he only told them which homework to do for the day then he asked for the homework he had left the day before. And so the blond and his friends set off to lunch.
Naruto's group were by a Cherryblossom tree, the group sat in a circle, that consisted of Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kiba, Sai, Shino, Neji, Lee, Chouji, Hinata, Ino, Ten-ten and sadly Sakura. They talked and ate for the lunch hour, and Sakura tried to press Naruto more into coming to her party but he still refuse, he wouldn't waist a precious Friday night to do nothing, instead he would like to spend it with his best friend or his comrades also now as The-Mighty-Nine. Killer bee had opted for that name and everyone was against it, but because Naruto's optimism the name stayed and now in places were his kind lived they are know by that name. And so all Nine Pure Demon grew fond of the name.
"C'mon~ Naruto please! Come to the party" she pressed and it was starting to become annoying. "Sakura for the last time, I'm sorry but I already have plan's, I told you already I'm going to visit Gaara and Bee this Friday night and I'm going to stay over and won't be back until Sunday morning" he whined but was very annoyed at this moment by her loud and annoying voice.
"Well can't you go some other day?" she asked disappointed trying to imitate Naruto's irresistible pouting face, which only made her look like a spoiled brat. Naruto sighed "No, I can't" he said pinching the bridge of his nose, "Maybe some other time alright?" he asked her gently, but she immediately got mad and questioned him "Naruto I'm inviting you to my party and some scary dudes are more important then me?" she asked hissing Naruto was almost at his limit, almost.
"Sakura, please understand, I need to go. I can't let this matter go, it's important." He said quietly, everyone had become silent, wanting to hear if the blond would give in or finally explode. "But Naruto!" she whined making Naruto sigh. "Sakura do you even want me there?" he questioned the girl, "Of course I do" she said. "Oh really and I only thought you wanted me so Sasuke would show up" he murmured but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
Sakura blushed and looked away, Sasuke glared at her fallowed by everyone except for Lee and Hinata. From then on until the end of lunch Sakura didn't open her mouth again. Next class was History, which all 14 teens except for Neji had next, they took their time since Jiraya didn't mind them coming late, though they had to be there 10 minutes after the bell ring otherwise he would put them as absent which was no good because after accumulating 3 of those you didn't have chance on the end of the term exam.
History was no problem, but then Math came and the teacher was Asuma, he was good, but one thing Naruto hated were exams and Asuma had already told them that Thursday which was today, he would apply one to see how they were doing. Naruto had no problem with it, but there was an uneasy feeling at the back of his gut as he approached the classroom.
Naruto as a Demon had learned to never dismiss any feeling one got, and he wouldn't do that. He kept on high alert as the class pass but nothing happened and class was over and still nothing happened. 'I must be growing paranoid' he told himself as he walked to his locker. He grabbed the things he would need for the accumulated homework and headed for the school's main entrance and exit, where Sasuke stood waited for him.
"Hurry up Dobe. My brother is waiting for us" Sasuke said irritated "Really? He came to pick you up?" Naruto asked innocently, truth be told the blond wanted to meet the older Uchiha and in all years of being friends with Sasuke he has never seen his older brother.
He wonders what he is like as he fallowed Sasuke. His gut tighten with every step he took forward, eyeing Sasuke from the corner of his eye feeling uneasy but kept walking there was no way his best friend would lead him to danger would he? He unconsciously hid every ounce of his demon power deep into his soul; no matter how hard another demon tried to find him he wouldn't even with a Demon stone there wouldn't be a chance.
Itahi saw his brother approached with the blond from yesterday, and his heart stated to race as he saw the perfect boy walk his way towards him. His golden spiky hair that shone in the light of the sun, his tan skin that made him delicious looking, his lean but well build body, and the smalt blue eyes that made him just want to sated forever into them. But the boy looked stressed for some reason.
Itachi's heat stopped as his obsidian eyes locked with cerulean orbs full of innocence and a hint of fear, as the smaller boy froze as he looked at Itachi, Sasuke turn and asked him a question and the blond shook his head and stated to walk again, but this time Sasuke had his eyes on his blond. Itachi blinked 'Where the hell did that though come from? He's not mine' he clanged on of his hands into a fist; he was getting jealous of his brother for a complete stranger.
Naruto kept walking and looked up as he felt a piercing gaze directed at him that made him feel weird, he froze as he found himself trapped by the intense stare of midnight eyes similar to Sasuke's. He felt a shiver run down his spine but tried to keep his cool and as soon as the poison's sent found it's way to Narutos sensitive nose he was scared though he tried to hid it "Naruto what's wrong?" Sasuke asked as his friend sudden halt. "Nothing" Naruto said as he shook his head. 'There's no way he is one of Akatsuki's hunter… could he'? Naruto tried to convince himself.
"Hn" Sasuke said and started his walked toward his brother once again fallowed suit by the young demon.
As they reached Itachi the smell of Demon Poison became stronger and stronger, and Naruto's gut feeling grew. "Aniki why aren't you at work?" Sasuke asked as he reached the black car. "Hn, my shift changed to only the mornings" he lied smoothly. Sasuke only nodded and turn to Naruto "Aniki this is Naruto" he introduces the boy and Itachi place his right hand in front of the boy to shake it and Naruto took it into his gasp "Nice to met you Naruto, I'm Itachi" he said in his silky voice. "Pleasure all mine" he said beaming.
Itachi possessed dark gray eyes, black hair that hung near his cheeks to frame his face and a long ponytail in the back of his hair. Being brothers, Itachi and Sasuke had a similar appearance, but with subtle differences. Itachi's hair color appeared slightly duller and with a softer flow to it; his skin was also slightly darker. Itachi's had long pronounced tear troughs under his eyes.
Naruto notice the ring on his hand "Cool ring" he said as he let go of the hand "Where did you get it?" Naruto asked, Itachi looked at his, but also letting Naruto see it "They gave it to me at work" Itachi said emotionless. Naruto saw the red gem that was impregnated in the silver ring, it looked so familiar and his gut tighten even more if possible.
Naruto gasped and Both Uchihas looked at him. "What's wrong Naruto?" Sasuke asked worried as Naruto turn pale he placed a hand on the small shoulder and shook him slightly, but Naruto wouldn't look away from the ring.
Itachi was confuse and a bit disturbed as his brother's hand resting on the boy's fragile looking shoulder, but was quickly replaced by worried by Naruto's sudden change of color, his tan skin became pale and his expression turn horrified. He took a step closer to the teen and he backed away shaking Sasuke's hand off.
Naruto finally remember were he had last seen that stone. It might have been years ago but he would never forget it, never. He saw Itachi take a step towards him and he backed off shaking the hand that rested on his left shoulder away his instinct kicking in. Now he was sure who this Uchiha's were. And he knew for sure that Uchiha Itachi was after him. Naruto stared at Itachi with an alert expression. And Itachi couldn't help but feel as if he did something wrong, while Sasuke looked between his brother and his best friend with confusion.
