A Second Chance
Wow, just one chapter and so many reviews... I don't think that many ever came for just one chapter in less than a day for any of my other stories. I am glad everyone liked it so far though. It puts that little bit of doubt in my mind at ease seeing so many positive remarks.
Son of the morning: Funny things happen like that in life.
Ninja bat master: As much fun as it would be to do either of those ideas it would be over used. The crossover is a new thing but using the same ideas from other stories is not original and I badly want this story to be just that. So sorry, no chakra for the monsters.
frytrix: Him claiming to be even a part Kitsune would contradict the basis I've set on the Jinchurriki status in the first chapter. It is a good solution, just not the one I need. Thank you for your suggestion anyway.
Enjoy. Review please, the feed back is more helpful than you know.
Ch2. Well, this is New.

"W-wait, so you really are a vampire? I thought the teeth were just for show." Naruto said as he was hoisted up by the Count. The maids were already near the entrance and closing fast.
"Yes I am. My name is Dracula, Mr. Uzumaki, and welcome to Hotel Transylvania." He said in a neutral tone of voice as he hid him and told the maids to clean up the accidental spill caused by the chef.
Naruto sighed as he was sped through the lobby by the Count as they headed for an empty room.
"Call me Naruto. I don't like all that uptight shit."

Hotel Transylvania, Two hours after Naruto arrived
Mavis was just like any other regular 118 year old vampire. She badly wanted to explore the world, see new places, try new things. Maybe even meet her Zing like her parents had.
Mavis had medium length black hair that framed her face and light blue eyes nicely. She wore her typical outfit that consisted of a black dress that covered her shoulders and clevage and stopped just above her knees. A pair of stripped socks covered her legs and met her dress revealing little to no skin.
Now that doesn't mean she didn't look beautiful. On the contrary, to many the outfit just brought her natural beauty more than a slutty dress or mini-skirt would.
She had come back from visiting the fake human village about thirty minutes ago. Not that she knew it was fake. And the trip had seemed to solidify her dying belief that all gumans were bad and evil. Mavis for a long time thought that maybe some humans were good and kind, her father not so much. He still refused to tell why he so vehemently hated the human race.
She often chose not to push him for answers on the subject because it always led to a depression in his moods for at least three days.
But now she could smell blood. It was not so strong that it smelled like someone bathed in it, but enough to warrant concern. The chef Quasimodo didn't even use this much for preparing his food. As she followed the scent several others noticed her strange behavior.
"Mavis what's wrong? You're acting kinda strange." Frank asked her. He is more commonly known as Frankenstein, the monster made from many men. His shrill wife also showed her concern as the other members of her family followed her as well.
"Yeah honey are you alright? Did the humans scare you?" Eunice asked in a concerned, yet shrill voice.
"I'm fine but I smell a lot of blood coming from one of the guest rooms. It's more than what even Quasimodo uses when he cooks, so I'm not sure what it is." The others were shocked to hear such a statement. It truly was confusing and possibly not safe.
"Mavis maybe we should find Drac and then check this out. We don't know what it could be." Wayne the Werewolf said as his pregnant wife Wanda nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah, that's a good idead Wayne and besides Mavis, your dad would kill us if we let something hurt you." Murray the mummy said in a slightly worried tone. He was still scared of Dracula when he got protective of his daughter.
Mavis was a little frustrated at their coddling of her, but she knew they were only concerned for her safety. She sighed silently in relief when they finally stopped in front of the door that was the source of the scent.
"Well we're already here so why not check it out?" She asked rhetorically. Before they could say anything else to try and stop her she opened the dorr and walked in to a scene she found herself blushing to.
A strange blonde was laying on the bed with only a mask that covered the lower half of his face and a pair of tattered cargo pants. His muscles were well sculpted as he sported a rock hard six pack. But that wasn't the part that shocked.
He was a Human.
The others rushed in after her and were all shocked to see a human in the supposed safe haven for monsters. The hotel had never been discovered in its many years and now all of that was ruined. Before they could start shouting and screaming from the top of their lungs the blonde's eyes snapped open and stared at the group in silence.
His deep blue eyes scanned over each one of them, except Griffin the Invisible Man seeing as all that was visible was a pair of glasses. There were no emotions in his eyes as he judged their threat levels. When he reached Mavis though, something else happened.
He gasped silently as he stared into her eyes. Mavis did as well but hers wasn't silent. Both felt as though a force was compelling them to speak though neither did, out of nervousness. It was like their hearts were yerning for each other, that they knew something special would happen between the two.
Neither could take their eyes away from the other's. That is until Dracula shut the door loudly, which broke all of the present group out of their stupor. Naruto looked at the vampire and proceeded to lay his head back down on the pillow and close his eyes.
"I had hoped I could wait a little longer to explain this to you all." Dracula said in a calm tone of voice as he sedately walked past his friends and daughter.
"D-drac, What's a human doing in the hotel?!" Eunice shouted. She was the first to regain her voice and promptly shouted out her concerns.
Naruto winced slightly at her volume as he once again opened his eyes. Looks like he wouldn't be getting sleep any time soon. Dracula had made his way to the window before speaking once again.
"I would like it if you all would hear me out before you voice your concerns or questions." At their hesitant nods he continued. "I would like for you all to meet our new head of security, Naruto Uzumaki. I have worked out all the details of his contract and he will start tomorrow or whenever he deems himself fit for duty. And before you ask, yes, he is a human. But I would like for you to hear his tale before you judge him as he did the same for myself. That is how we came to our current agreement."
Before they could get in a word Naruto began. Both he and the Count agreed that this would go smoother and faster if they weren't interupted by repeating questions and angry comments.
"After looking at several maps of this world we have come to the conclusion that I am from either an alternate plane of reality or a different but parallel dimension. I am from a place called the Elemental Nations. There are five main nations which are the lands of Fire, Lightning, Water, Earth, and Wind. Each of those nation have a shinobi village. Those villages are the strongest in the world and are ruled by the strongest shinobi or as we call them Kage. Shinobi do whatever they are ordered to by their Kage. We are essentially an army of assassins. I and other Shinobi have the abilities to manipulate the elements and use them in battle." That sentence stopped any form of protest or back talk that had formed in the small crowd. Now confused and disbelieving looks were aimed at the two.
"I figured you wouldn't believe me so I've prepared a demonstration." As he held out his hand whisps of blue energy became visible as they formed into the shape of a small ball. Naruto then slammed it into the bedside table and destroyed it, shocking the audience once again.
"When a mad man called Madara Uchiha created a group called Akatsuki, or Red Dawn, he did so with the purpose of gathering all of the Tailed Demons. Now I'm sure you're wondering why he would need the nine strongest creatures on the planet. Not for a good reason at least. He planned to unite all of the demons to create what they originally were, the Jyuubi."
"The Jyuubi was also known as the Ten Tailed Demon. No one knows it's true form except for the Sage of Six Paths himself and me and another. It would reak havok across the lands in Humanity's earliest days, destroying civilization as a whole time and time again. Then one day a man with powerful eyes, The Sage of Six Paths, did battle with the beast. It raged on for days tearing across the landscape. When the fight was nearing its end the Sage sealed the mighty demon into himself and sealed the body into a mass of earth, which became the moon. Upon his death he feared the beast would reak destruction and chaos once again so he split it into nine pieces, the Tailed Beasts."
"So if Madara had gathered all of the demons and sealed them within himself, he would have an endless chakra supply. He then planned on using that to cast an illusion that would reflect off of the moon and basically capture the entire world in a never ending mind control. You can see why the leaders of our world had such a problem with this."
"So the five great nations did something never before seen in our entire history. They all united together against Madara, putting aside their own grudges and hate for one another to serve a greater cause. And we won. The road that lead to victory will prevent war for a long time at least. So in simple terms we achieved peace."
"After the war was when it all started to happen. The people I had fought for and protected turned against me in fear of my power." The group waited for him to explain as by now they were fully captivated by the story this young man had to tell. They could not deny the fact that this Naruto had seen battle and faced the odds. His scars told the truth.
"Why did they turn against you?" Mavis asked in a small voice. She was unnerved and concerned at the same time when she first noticed the scars that littered his body.
"People from my world have the ability to harness an inner energy called chakra. Chakra is a combination of physical and spiritual energy it is what allows us to use the elements in battle. However only a small percentage of the population can use it. And those that can have to start at a young age or risk blowing themselves up due to the stress of unused chakra coils. There are nine giant chakra beast called the Bijuu. These demon cannot be killed. Thousands have died attempting it. They can only be sealed into a container. Though only a newborn child can hold back these great beasts. Their chakra networks, those are what allow us to use our elemental attacks, haven't been fully developed yet and would grow to accomodate the Demons. If a demon were sealed into an adult their chakra would be poisoned by the Demon's chakra." Naruto paused momentarily to prepare himself for what he was about to say.
"These Demon containers are known as Jinchurriki, or power of human sacrifice. They are hated due to the ignorance of others. I am the Jinchurriki for the strongest Bijuu, The Nine Tailed Fox or Kyuubi no Kitsune. In an attempt to kill me the majority of the popualltion of my home village, Konoha in the Land of Fire, only a few did not participate. I had recently began attaining fame and influence throughout the village because of my exploits on the battlefield. They saw this as a threat from me. When humanity fears something that fear turns into hatred. And that hatred turns into desperation, that desperation to kill me lead to my current situation. I killed anyone who got in my way. Many people died. None of my true comrades and friends tried to stop me, however few in number they are." He finished in a dead voice. None of them could see his face due to his mask, but all they would have seen was a cold, unforgiving surface.
The others grew somber at the tale. They all knew what it was like to be hated and scorned without having done anything.
Mavis's heart went out to the man she had recently gained interest in was not been a bad person, but a good man, and a better soldier. She felt a great anger towards his so called home. He had sereved them faithfully and that was how they repayed him. It hurt her deeply to hear of his suffering, and she didn't know why.
"I trust this is enough to satisfy your curiousity?" Dracula asked rhetorically as he gathered their attention.
"Because I will not force him to tell you any more of his life. We all have our own secrets and I believe it was hard enough for him to tell you all about this much of his life. I plan on announcing his position in the hotel later this evening. However, for now he will be known as a Kitsune. They are known for their abilities to transform so his similarities to humanity should not seem strange."
The group nodded their heads in understanding and began to shuffle towards the door.
"Nice to have you on board kid. I know you're gonna make a big difference around here." Griffin said as he moved towards the door. He was the most accepting of their little group so if Dracula could like a human he could at least give him a chance.
"I'm twenty one. I kill people for a living, and you're still gonna call me a kid?" Naruto asked in a bland tone with a raised eyebrow.
This seemed to be like a key as soon many other good luck wishes made their way to him from the others. Finally only Naruto, Dracula, and Mavis were left in the room.
"Mavis, honey, go on and greet the rest of the guests arriving. You will have plenty of time to talk with Naruto later when he is feeling better." Dracula coaxed his daughter out. Even though he trusted Naruto didn't mean that he had totally let go of his hatred of humans. So her concern towards the blonde worried him as he thought he saw something more.
Mavis nodded and walked to the door and said one last thing before leaving.
"It was nice to meet you Naruto." And she was gone.
Naruto looked at the Count with a neutral attitude. "That went better than expected."
Dracula nodded his head but his frown grew the more he thought of his current situation.
"I'm more worried about what the reactions of the other guests will be when they find out."
