Hey, guys! I just wanted y'all to know that there are some graphic moments in this chapter and if you cannot handle that, I suggest skipping this chapter or skimming past it, but, I believed that y'all deserved to know.

Chapter 2

Kushina ran and ran, past the darkened family pictures, past the haunted halls, and past her son's eerily quiet bedroom. She only thought of herself in this moment, not once having a passing thought of her son, not once caring for his safety, only thinking of herself.

She continued to run to her destination, only to freeze horror at what she saw. Her beloved pet fox dead at her feet. His head was stabbed on a stake and his four little paws were spread around his body, no longer attached as they should be. His body was cut open and disemboweled intestines were strung over the doors like christmas lights with blood dripping from the walls in slow, trickling moments. His heart was in pieces, served on a shiny, silver platter and everything else was strangely missing.

His poor little body was left on the floor, right in front of the door and she just couldn't leave her beloved little pet. Picking him up, she cradled his shoulders into her body and sobbed hysterically. Whispering over and over again, until a deep, dark chuckle broke through her crazed mantra. Turning sharply, she looked into the eyes of her once beloved husband and sprung up, dropping the body carelessly onto the floor. She glared at him fiercely and attacked.

Expecting her weak attack, Minato easily overpowered her, only grunting in pain once when her clawlike nails scratched his face. Sitting on her stomach, holding her hands above her head, Minato stared with his soulless blue eyes right into Kushina's emerald greens.

Blood welled to the top of the thin gash and Kushina watched as it slowly glided down his face, only to drip onto her cheek. Smiling widely, Minato leaned down, breaking their connection and licked his blood right off her face. She could do nothing but stare in complete horror as her eyes widened and her pupils dilated in response to her immense amount of fear. Tears leaked from her eyes and mixed with the remaining blood on her face, creating a horrifying mix of pure innocence and pure evil.

Staring into her dulled emerald eyes, Minato could only smile in response to her fear. Tilting his head like a snake, he struck, biting right into the junction of her neck and shoulder, spilling her innocent blood right onto her favorite carpet, staining it forever. He sawed his head back and forth trying to make the wound worse and worse, wanting it to hurt, wanting it to scar. She screamed out in immense pain and sobbed even harder than before, struggling weakly to get free. Pulling back, he smiled in satisfaction as he saw his mark, his claim over her life, her body, and more importantly, her soul.

Crying, Kushina closed her eyes and struggled as hard as she could. However, Minato was too strong for her and she could do nothing but lay there submissively and beg. "Please...please stop. I can't take it anymore! Set me free! I beg of you! Please….please," she sobbed, struggling to breath in her panic. Her heart shattering into a million pieces.

Laughing in her face, Minato only shook his head. "No, no. You don't understand. This is art and my masterpiece isn't finished yet. You aren't done yet, my love. You'll thank me later," He said, kissing her face gently before grabbing her head and bashing it onto the floor several times. He waited till she was passed out before he got up, sighing. He looked at his beautiful wife with love and observed her appearance.

He stared at what used to be vibrant red hair, which was now dulled and matted with blood. He tilted her head toward him and felt like crying as he observed her puffy red eyes and face covered in dried out tears and blood. He kissed her gently on the lips with a sweet, chaste kiss, when his eyes hardened into dulled ice. It was her fault. She ignored him, she did this. Her and her despicable son.

He really did enjoy their little session, after all, he deserved it. He should never had been born and if he knew this was going to happen, he would have killed him a whole lot sooner.

However, he really did enjoy torturing that abomination, worse than that freak kyuubi. Oh, yes. Very enjoyable. A manic grin stretched across his face as he thought of what he did to Naruto, their five year old son.

Flashback

He slowly creeped into the room where his son was sleeping peacefully. Silently, he strided over to his son and gently brushed the hair from his face. Kissing his son gently on the forehead, he could honestly say that he had loved his son at one point in time, but he was in the way. Taking his precious Kushina away from. He has to be terminated. However, thoughts of him as a baby plagued his mind. Especially when Naruto first learned how to walk and how proud of him he was.

Flashback in a flashback

"Minato! Minato, come quick. Hurry, he's walking!" Kushina's excited yell broke through his concentration from work and he rushed out of the room, hoping to make it in time.

Entering into the lounge, he saw his baby boy pushing up onto his feet and taking a small step toward him, excitedly yelling out "Da," as he did so. Their little boy was the most adorable child he had ever seen, with his angelic blonde hair and eyes that reminded him of the sky. His son was the picture of pure innocence and nothing will ever harm him.

Smiling happily, he beckoned his son toward him and as fast as Naruto's little legs could move, he ran over to him. Scooping him up, Minato peppered his face with kisses and gave him a big hug. Naruto laughed happily and hugged his papa back, before cuddling into his father and slowly falling asleep.

Smiling proudly down at his son, he carried him over to his little car bed and set him down for a nap, but not without a little kiss to his forehead first. Looking at Kushina's glowing face took the breath right out of his body and he couldn't help remembering why he loved her in the first place.

"Our little boy is finally growing up Minato. I remember it like it was yesterday when he was barely bigger than our forearm. Next thing we know, he'll be graduating high school," Kushina said to Minato as they left the room.

"I know sweetheart, but I was so proud of him for walking today," Minato said to her, smiling gently at the thought of their little boy sleeping peacefully in the next room.

"I was too," Kushina whispered before sweeping down into a passionate kiss with her husband.

Looking lovingly at his son, he whispered to himself, "I can't do it, but she needs to be punished. It's her fault. Everything is her fault! I realize that now. None of it was his fault and i'm sorry for thinking such a thing Naruto."

Looking down at his son, he knew he had to do something, anything, to get him to safety. Gently picking him up, he glided out of the room, down the hall, and to the vehicle where he gently placed his son into the passenger seat. Securing him onto the seat, he wrapped little Naru up into his cute little bunny blankie and his stuffed nine tailed fox was secure in his little hands. Everything was prepared but, he had a little test first. Let's see if his wife passes."
