Chapter 2
Of Explanations and Demons
0-o-0-o-0
Naruto was awoken rather rudely by his standards and he would have beaten the person who dared to wake him into the ground for it, if it weren't for the fact that they were only four and they out numbered him eight to one. And next thing he knew the powerhouse-eight as they were known through the house were dragging him across the floor and into the kitchen where an old lady stood yelling at a man with orange hair as Keiko helped Sakura make breakfast.
"Uncle wanted you up and said that everyone wants an explanation." Stated a little boy with ragged black hair, crimson eyes like Riritsuku, and three whisker marks on each cheek tan cheek.
The blonde boy looked up at his friends who were all sitting around the very large table and saw Sasuke brooding and glaring holes in the innocent toddlers head. "That little brat won't stop calling me Uncle." Sasuke pointed out as the boy cried out 'Uncle!' and decided to attach himself to Sasuke's leg.
Naruto sighed and sat up. "Takala, off. Go find your mother and father and bring them in here. Use your weapon that I taught you against your parents if they refuse." He instructed, Takala saluting and dashing off in a flurry.
Iruka fidgeted nervously as he sat next to the towering man. Said towering man had bright jade eyes that gleamed and shaggy black hair, and would occasionally lean over and whisper something to the one beside him and then go back to towering above Iruka. Next thing Iruka knew, he was having to plug his ears as the dubbed Takala came running back in screaming his head off.
"Mommy was yelling at Daddy! I was scared and then they yelled at me!" He cried out, looking for someone to hold him, which obviously wasn't Naruto because Naruto had stormed out, and had chosen Sasuke.
The Uchiha sighed, at the regret of being called uncle again and tried to soothe the screaming child.
The proclaimed idiot came raging back in, and sat down in a seat at the head of the table, motioning for everyone to sit and smiled as he saw Takala enjoying being held by Sasuke, especially when the boy was so picky. "Okay, I know the first question on everyone's mind is: Where the hell are we? Well, to answer your question, we are in the civilized region of the Makai, or demon realm, home of the demons. Why are we here? Because this is our home. To explain this question, I need to start from the beginning.
"In the beginning, things were a total mess and there were three beings who joined together to stop the chaos that reigned. These three were Kyuubi no Yoko, a human, and the Spirit King Enma. Kyuubi no Yoko reigned over the demon realm, keeping what he could in order, but soon needed help from others, giving three powerful positions to the three demon lords. The human created a system that led to countries, villages, and kages. And the Spirit King created a monarchy where his successor is his son, Prince Koenma. Kyuubi no Yoko, or let's call him Yoko to make him happy, Yoko lived for many hundreds of years, but he didn't find happiness until around fifty years ago. He gave birth to a beautiful baby kit by the name of Kyuubi no Kushina which he named Uzumaki Kushina to protect her from the world in which she wanted to live in, the Ningenkai, or human realm. His second kit was another girl by the name of Yoru –enter collective gasp and look at Yoru here- whom he named Kyuubi no Yoru. And his third kit was born the night the of the Kyuubi attack on Konoha, this one was named Kyuubi no Kitsune, who goes by the name of Kyuubi.
"Yoko went on a rampage. To know this, you must understand the events that had happened only a week before. Yoko's first kit, Kushina was giving birth to her second litter with another fox demon, who you may all know as the Yondaime. Her first litter was three at the time and this second litter, the Sandaime had found out exactly what was going on with Kushina and Minato. And had taken Kushina hostage, causing Yoko to become enraged, and Minato would have killed him if it had not been for the three ANBU behind the Sandaime holding his first liter. His orders were to seal away Yoko in his newborn and leave and never comeback, the entire lot of them. So he did, he sealed Yoko inside of his child, leaving his child behind in the hands of the Sandaime who'd demanded it and gathered his family and ran away, back to Makai."
Finally Gaara asked a question. "Who was his kid?"
"It was me." Naruto confessed. "People then had decided not to tell their children what they were, or they had no clue themselves. I had run to the only person who would take me in that was like me, Uchiha Mikoto, Sasuke's mother. She secretly trained me and when the Sandaime found out, he put a ward on her, if I stayed too close for too long it would kill her from the inside out. Uchiha, for you see, are a long line of wolf demons. But their traits have only been found in four in Konoha. Mikoto's little brother Obito, and Mikoto's two children, Itachi and Sasuke. Anyways, I had to learn the rest on my own, in so I was able to release Yoko by age ten. Orochimaru, a nasty snake demon in which we all hate had figured out the Sandaime's game with the demons and wanted in. He ordered Itachi to kill off the entire clan except Sasuke or he would tell the clan what he, Mikoto –by this time Obito had left to Makai on his own- and Sasuke were to the entire clan. Itachi refused and Orochimaru told their father, who went mad and tried to kill them, but Mikoto stopped him by killing him and she was forced to kill the clan as well to protect Itachi and Sasuke. Sasuke unknowing of what was happening was put under an illusion of what was happening as Itachi and Mikoto left to Makai. Meanwhile, I had lost all connection to my family and anyone who knew, until Yoko came back and showed me how to get here, which would require me to at least store up a weeks worth of chakra, so I rarely saw my family."
"What's that got to do with us?" Kakashi asked, unknowing to the four new people in the room.
Naruto smirked towards the silver haired man. "You can all meet the family later, but I need to explain something. Yoko is an elemental kitsune, Kushina is an elemental kitsune, Minato is a golden kitsune, their first three kits, Kiya, Siya and Kibou are a Shadow Kitsune, a Lightning Kitsune, and a Light Kitsune, I'm an Elemental Kitsune, my four little siblings are Leo, Akita, Tsuki and Kitsune. Leo's a Golden Kitsune, Akita's a Fire Kitsune, Tsuki's a Spark kitsune (mix between lightning and fire), and Kitsune's an Elemental Kitsune. Kyuubi is an Elemental Kitsune and my uncle, his husband is Itachi who's a Shadow Wolf, and their single kit Takala a Fire and Shadow Wolf. My aunt, Yoru, is a Spark Kitsune and her husband Obito is a Shadow wolf they have one kit, Oni who's our age. Oni's an Elemental Wolfox, and his mate Kage who's a Shadow Wolf, and their daughter Riritsuku is an Elemental Wolf. Kage's twin, Kumori, is also a Shadow Wolf. Usagi is an Ice Kitsune, and her twin brother Karu is a Water Kitsune. Chibi, as you might remember him, is a Nature Neko, and his best friend who's also Kumori's mate is Koi, a Nature Wolf.
"Yusuke over there is a Hanyou of sorts, Kurama is a Silver and Nature Kitsune, Hiei is a fire demon, Kurama and Hiei's kits: Meka and Taro are both Elemental Kitsune, Yukina, Hiei's half sister, is an ice demon, while Genkai, Kuwabara, and Keiko are regular humans.
"So the family positions are Yoko is my grandmother, Kushina is my mother, Minato is my father, Kiya, Siya, and Kibou are my older siblings, Leo, Akita, Tsuki, and Kitsune are my little siblings. My uncle is Kyuubi with his husband Itachi and their kit Takala. Yoru is my aunt with her husband Obito and their Oni, who's husband is Kage and their kit Riritsuku. Kage's twin Kumori and his mate Koi. Kage, Kumori, Koi, Usagi, Chibi, and Karu are my adopted siblings sort of. So apparently Oni's my cousin, and Sasuke's cousin. There's Mikoto-chan, she's like my second mother. Genkai is a friend of Yoko's and so she's like my second grandmother. Yusuke is her apprentice, and Keiko's his girlfriend. Kurama and Hiei are mates and their kits Meka and Taro. Hiei's half sister is Yukina. Yusuke's friend is Kuwabara, who is also learning from Genkai.
"Now about yourselves. Sasuke is a Shadow Wolf, Kakashi is a Silver Hound, Iruka is a Nature Hound, Hinata is a Nature Neko, Neji is a Fighting Neko, Gaara is a Sand Raccoon for the fact that there were trace amounts of Shukaku still in him that merged with him – I noticed this when I fought him in the Chuunin exams that they were slowly becoming one – Sakura is a Nature Spirit, Ino is an Animal Mistress, Shikamaru is a Shadow Spirit, Shino is a Tora Demon, and Kiba is an Inu Demon. Hinata and Neji's father's never even knew about the neko blood in them and it was really only in you two out of them all. Sakura's parents are only her adopted parents, her real parents died in one of the many Makai wars. Ino's father is her real father, while her mother died along side her best friend, Sakura's real mother, in the Makai war. Shikamaru's family has lived so long in the Ningenkai that they've forgotten their heritage and only call is a bloodline. Shino's clan is his caretakers, they were originally from the Makai, but were sent to the Ningenkai to watch over the great Tora family who had died out eventually, and only received a small child, a.k.a. Shino. Kiba's father was a full-blooded Inu demon, and his mother had no idea of her heritage and therefore did not know about Kiba who was the only receiver to be able to awaken the trait, only because Hana is only his half-sister. Iruka barely knew who parents who planned to tell him when he turned thirteen, but they never lived to, his father was brave Inu, and his mother was a sweet Nature Wolf. And Kakashi's mother was a lovely Inu, and his father was a Silver Wolf. Are you all satisfied with answers now?" He said, tired after his long winded explanation.
The blonde looked to all of his friends who were in somewhat shock. He really had planned to let this to them easily and one at a time, but things didn't always go as planned.

Breakfast was eaten in silence mostly as everyone learned who people were.
Kyuubi Yoko was a man who looked barely over twenty-five years old, which Naruto had explained that demons and spirits stopped aging between thirty and twenty. They did die, they just couldn't die from old age seeing as they never reached that point. Anyways, Yoko was a timeless man with blood red hair and bottomless onyx eyes which held peace as he spoke to everyone, greeting them, and blood red fox ears and nine tails. But one could tell he was powerful just from a look at him.
Uzumaki Kushina was the same as Kakashi had remembered his sensei's wife, she had long crimson hair to match her mother's, had crimson eyes, and blood red fox ears and nine tails too. She was a tomboy and played rough with the others and was not afraid to show her younger siblings to their spots, yet was soft enough to be the mother of eight, four of whom could take care of themselves.
Uzumaki Minato still looked like he was in his prime only with the addition of golden fox ears and tail to match his hair, and Kakashi and Iruka nearly jumped up and hugged the former Hokage who still held the same goofy grin. Apparently he had taken Kushina's name in order to still have the same last name as his kits He reminded them of Naruto and people began to really see the similarities in the two boys.
Uchiha Obito looked older and had matured more. His hair was a sleek black with matching wolf ears and tail, and both of his eyes were still in his head, which made Kakashi question who's eye did he have. Obito had explained that Yoru had helped him heal it and return his eye, in sacrifice for seven of her nine tails, leaving her only with lightning/light and fire. And Obito was a caring father who was closely connected with his son and had helped in the raising of Riritsuku.
Uchiha Yoru had now appeared with one red fox ear and tail and one black fox ear and tail, saying she was the only one to gain anything from their father besides his red eyes and the only one to gain their mother's onyx eyes.
Uchiha Kyuubi was a red head with hair down to his mid back (If you've ever watched Gravitation… think Hiro's hair style almost), red fox ears and nine tails just like his sisters and mother with blood red eyes like his eldest sister. His skin was tan and his body moved so swiftly some questioned whether he had moved or not. He had stayed close to his mates side and had peeled Takala off Sasuke, picking up the squealing raven and playing with him as a mother would a child.
Uchiha Itachi looked older, if possible plus the wolf ears and tail now sprouting out, his height had gone up a little and he was sure to keep Kyuubi close to him, and smiled as he watched his son and husband play around. The smile had brought most into shock as he did.
Uchiha Oni had scruffy red hair that had black tips, he had onyx eyes that held the Sharingan, and black fox ears and five tails. His mother Yoru had brought his daughter over to him and Oni instantly pounced on the little girl, a playful child himself, almost like a second Naruto. This thought made people pale instantly.
Uzumaki Kiya had long raven-blue hair that went to below her waist, sparkling blue eyes like her father and little brother, and a fox tail and ears the same blue-black as her hair. She was the toughest and most reserved of the Uzumaki children, and the only one with raven-black hair, saying she got it from her grandfather, but when she did she immediately apologized to Yoko.
Uzumaki Siya had long blonde hair in the same style as her twin sister's, playful onyx eyes, and blonde fox ears and tail that wagged around wildly as she played with her little brother and sisters. She was the most playful out of the Uzumaki triplets and grinned at most anything in a grin that wasn't nearly as bright as Naruto's but pretty damn close.
Uzumaki Kibou was the only boy out of the Uzumaki triplets, and was very protective of his two sisters. He had shaggy blonde hair that was faded black at the tips, no matter where he cut it, and framed his face, he had the same black eyes as Siya, and blonde fox tail and ears that were also tipped in a faded black.
Akayume no Kage and Kumori were identical twins with wild raven black hair, the darkest coal eyes, and black wolf ears and tail swinging behind each of them. Kage was overprotective and stood next to Oni and Riritsuku, glaring when someone got a little too close. If that didn't prove it, then when Riritsuku pulled Oni's hair, and Oni yipped in pain and then Kage basically dashed over and made both of them were okay, that should prove it. Kumori was a hyper little thing, in complete contrast to his brother. He was the one Kage glared at because the hyper boy enjoyed playing with his friend and his little niece, as he had yelled, screamed and threw a tantrum about wanting to be called her uncle.
Koi was that tall man that had been sitting next to Iruka, and had noticed how the older man was kind of uneasy next to him. He had jet black hair, wolf ears, and a wolf tail of the same color, and bright, vibrant lime green eyes. He took enjoyment in watching Kumori cause his brother to growl as Kumori played with Oni and Riritsuku. But he had growled at Kage when said wolf had growled at Kumori.
Chibi now had a black cat tail and ears as he walked in, wiping his hair down with a towel. He had come in and sat down immediately getting tackled by the over zealous Taro who then began a game of attach yourself to Chibi's legs and see how many of us he can hold and still walk with, in which the other seven gladly participated.
Mizu no Karu had plain cerulean blue hair down to his shoulders, ice blue eyes, and cerulean blue fox ears and tail on him. He had an essence of protection around him as he watched over his little sister with a watchful eye as she chatted with Genkai.
Mizu no Usagi had ice blue hair, ice blue fox tail and ears, and cerulean eyes as if a complete opposite of her twin brother. She looked elegant as she spoke and smiled with Genkai about the food that had been cooked, complementing Keiko greatly.
Genkai was an old, short woman with lots of wrinkles and graying hair that had a dark tinge of brown. She was very high in regards as even Yoko spoke to her formally.
Yusuke had extremely brown hair so it looked black and wide dark brown eyes so they looked almost black like his hair. He was very hyper and very serious… at the same time! He snickered as Taro annoyed the heck out of Chibi, just because Yusuke had paid the toddler a small fee for doing it.
Yukina had ice blue hair as she softly smiled as she talked to Naruto, her red eyes glittering with happiness that he was back. She held Meka in her lap, her half-nephew passed out and asleep there.
Kuwabara had orangeish hair and blue eyes that were very dark, but held a spark of childness… which was considering how he acted as he laughed alongside Yusuke.
Hiei was flaming behind Kuwabara and Yusuke for using his son in their pranks of which he had an enormous distaste for. He had spiky raven hair with a white burst in the middle and red eyes, with a white cloth hiding his third eye or his Jagan as it was properly named.
Kurama had flaming red hair that went to his shoulder blades and soft green eyes. He smiled as he heard Hiei scaring the crap out of Yusuke and Kuwabara, and as he peeled Taro off the neko, the little red head instantly clinging to his 'mother'.
Leo now had a golden fox tail and ears, Akita had deep red fox ears and tail, Tsuki and Kitsune also had golden fox ears and tail, Taro had crimson fox tail and ears, Meka and Riritsuku each had black fox ears and tail, and Takala had black wolf ears and a black wolf tail that were tipped very lightly in crimson.
The last one to walk into the room nearly had Sasuke in tears as he pulled the now smaller woman close to him and would let her go. Mikoto looked the same as she did before her 'death' with the exception of wolf ears and a wolf tail.
That morning, more smiles were made than all the tears that had ever consumed those in the group.
Leo Vulpes: For those of you who haven't guessed it yet, yes, this is a crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho... only because I recently read the manga and found it addicting, though not as much so as Naruto, to read. That and it was also in 'Another World' only I didn't know it at the time until I read Yu Yu Hakusho. Again, I recommend that story, 'Another World' is fab! And I will keep promoting it as long as this stor exists for that story brough upon this one.
Please review and I will give you... internet hugs! All you have to do is rape the pretty button down there! Ja ne!
