Like Human Like Demon

Chapter 5:

"What do you mean I have something inside of me? And how do you know my name!?" San asked/yelled at Naruto after his question. "It's a long story! But I think you have some sort of demon within you!" Naruto said. "Like all of humans don't have one within you! Every single one of you!" San replied back with anger growling in her voice. "OK, MAYBE we 'humans' can be assholes at times but I mean a REAL demon within you! Like a living beast!" Naruto said. "That's impossible! If I did have some sort of beast within me, I would have know from the start! My mother would have told me!" San replied back, catching Naruto off guard when releasing her writs from his grasp, and slicing the kunai at him. Naruto dodged it again, this time grabbing her wrists harshly causing something to crack and making San release the kunai. Naruto pinned her to a wall, glaring at her deep in the eye. "Look! Your mother would have kept a secret from you, and your enemy might be the cause of it!" Naruto yelled in her face. "Like you know!You don't know ANYTHING about my mother or the jackass I'm facing!" San yelled while thrashing about,trying to prey Naruto off her."Hell,I've heard ALOT from your inner demon! Your mother's name is Moro...I think...and your trying to avenge your clan from your enemy to restore your forest!" Naruto said, remembering the words from the large wolf demon mentioned in that void they had been sucked in. San's eyes widen and she froze from her thrashing. Her pupils were dots making her blue colored eyes be shrunk as well. Her fists became normal unclenched hands, Naruto loosened his grasp on her wrists.

San soon enough fell on her behind with her legs crossed in front of her as they bended in a 'V' shape as her lower part of her legs was beside her body. "How did..." San whispered making it to be hard to hear by Naruto. Naruto knelt beside her. "If you really believe me, I can try to help" Naruto said as San's eyes began to shaken as if tears would soon appear .San bent forward more, making her eyes become hidden by her bangs. Naruto sighed, thinking that she wouldn't say anything "My mother..." San began, making Naruto's attention snap. "She...she would have told me anything...including this,I'm...flabbergasted that she didn't tell me" San spoke in deep whisper. "You know, if you havn't noticed, some parents don't tell their kids everything..." Naruto said, though it wouldn't lead anywhere to cheering-upness. "I can help if you want..." Naruto said again .San turned her hands into fist. Naruto kept his guard up, thinking that San was about to send a attack to him. But what came at him was arms around his neck and a girl sobbing in his chest, Naruto...was frozen .He never had a girl hold him like this, a tint of blush appeared on his face but he held San back.

(I know you may be thinking that this is a bit forward on the relationship but I was running out of ideas so don't kill me ALRIGHT!? And if any boys are reading this and think that this is pretty much mush crap, I promise I'll make more action and adventure come in future chapters)

"...I'm sorry about earlier" San said as her and Naruto was sitting on his apartment roof top, the sun was just above the horizon, motioning nightfall would come. "Aw,it's alright. Everyone needs to cry at times" Naruto said turning his head to her while he layed on his back with his hands behind his head .She slightly smiled at him but turned her gaze back to the sun and horizon. "It's completely different here...I mean,everything is covered with houses and buildings" San said looking at the Konoha Village while turning her head side to side examining the whole place, "Watta you mean?" Naruto asked turning his head to her again. "Where I live...there's nothing but forest...all the animals roam free and there aren't that many humans..." San explained while she looked at the sky .Naruto never took his gaze at her as he imagined what San's forest looked like. "That's at least when the whole forest was one" San said letting out a sigh stretching her legs out then bringing one back up. "What do you mean by that?" Naruto asked, laying on his side now. "The bastard who raided the east side of the forest has destroyed the trees and soil,and has turned into into a smoke suffocation area" San explained, still staring at the setting sun. Naruto remained silent while listening to San's story. "Many animals have died there,the humans make this type of material called 'metal'. Similar to these pipes here" San said looking at a pipe that was connected to the rooftop. "Well,I guess they're starting a business there,it's their job" Naruto said, sitting up criss-crossed facing her now. "But they did ruthlessly! They killed nearly all the animals and burned the forest without saying or making peace that they would! They are one of the reasons why the animals hate the humans!" San said with anger rising in her voice and turning to Naruto in a glare .Naruto had his eyes widen a bit at San's sudden expression. She calmed down and looked back at the sun again "I'm sorry..." she said. "That's OK, everybody pretty much acts like that when they're talking about something they hate" Naruto said with a small smile. San sighed "I have to get back to my forest soon OK, I can't stay here for long. My mother might be close to death now..." San said with a sad sigh. Naruto gave her a sympathetic look.

Night soon came after the kids talk, Naruto let San borrow a pair of his pj's (that were kind of big on her) and a spar toothbrush. San, confused and has never seen a toothbrush, had a strange experience when she brushed her teeth. San and Naruto had to play 'rock-paper-scissors' (Naruto had to teach her how to play) to see who got the bed tonight, San won. She layed on her side, facing Naruto who was sleeping on the floor with an extra cover, blanket and pillow (Who also has his sleeping dog-cap on :3). "I'm sorry for taking your bed today" San said in a slight whisper. "Ah, it's OK. We're taking turns, remember" He said smiling and looking at her.She smiled back and seeped into the covers. 'Mother...I'm sorry...' San thought before she closed her eyes.

San's Dream...

San was standing in, what seemed to be, her forest! But everything was burning and her brothers were seen bleeding while panting with blood dripping from their mouths. 'Brothers!' San tried to call out but no words came out of her mouth. San was running to them but as she blinked, she was in a different part of the forest. This was the place where The Forest Spirit would appear to an animal who was in need of help. The little island in the center of the chest high lake with a tall tree rising to the clear star sighted sky as the trees on the other side and encircled the lake made a circular opening at the tree tops.(Sorry if this description is making no sense).

San gasped at what she saw lying on the bank of the lake with water to its waist, her mother.'MOTHER!' San tried to call out again but nothing came from her mouth. She dashed to her mother seeing the wolf's eyes closed.'Please Mother! Don't die! Hang-' San was cut off by thought when she tried to shake her mother but her hands and arms went right through the dead-looking wolf.

A roar of pain and angry was heard from behind the trees,San turned her attention to what caused the spine-chilling sound. What came in eyes sight was the leader of the boar clan, Okoto! But he had dark red worms, is what it looked like, came out of his skin. 'Okoto...a DEMON!?' San thought in fear. A rushing wind came in contact with San making her raise her arms to her face to prevent any twigs or dirt to go into her eyes. As San opened her eyes though, she was once again in another place/scenery.'Now what!?' San thought looking around. "AHHHH!" San screamed as she felt a sharp slash on her back making her fall forward from the pain and strength the user of the sharp object. "Heh heh, San..." a very familiar voice was heard. San looked over her shoulder to see who was the one responsible to her new, bleeding wound.There standing with a blade soaked with her blood at hand was her enemy. The one who she encountered at the fort, the one who was responsible for her ending up in Naruto's place.

"San you make all of this look too easy..." her enemy said licking the blood off his blade. "Rghhh...you bastard..." San said, something actually coming out of her mouth, as she turned herself over so she was facing him. "Heh, I'm surprised you havn't noticed San. You really think a mere MORTAL could do all of this?" her enemy said,but now in a different tone of voice, a snake-like voice that chilled her to the bone. San looked at her enemy confused, "Heh,San. Become my container now and everyone you love will be spared!" her enemy said,still in that different tone of voice, with his now long snake-like tongue and his eyes golden fearsome eyes, about to stab her with his blade-.

"San? San...? YO SAN!" a voice was heard to San's ears and something shaking her making her gasp as she opened her eyes. She quickly sat up, looking around breathing heavy. "...Naruto" she finally said looking up at him, "Geez, what was with the sudden reaction?" he asked, tieing his head protector around his head. "Bad dream..." San said putting a hand over her face,looking down."Well, I wanted to wake you up so that you knew I was going to be with my team" he said adjusting his head protector. "Team?" San asked,still a little dazed out, "Yeah,we ninjas are grouped in teams of three.My team mates are Sakura and Sasuke.We mostly go on missions to anyone who needs some help or something" he explained,he turned to where his clock was."OH SNAP! I'LL TELL YOU ALL THE DETAILS WHEN I GET BACK! I GOTTA GO! SEE YA!" he yelled zooming out of his apartment and disappearing behind the slammed door. San had a anime sweatdrop on her head to Naruto's reaction but brushed it off.She got out of his bed and walked up to the bathroom,seeing her hair all messy and having the pj's she borrowed look sloppily on. She sniffed her arm as she pulled up the tops sleeve. "Guhhh...I smell like a human.." she stated a bit disgusted. She looked at the shower and decided to take a rinse,though she had some trouble since she didn't know how to 'control' the shower (e.e).

With Naruto...

"I'm HEEEEEERE!" Naruto announced as he came to his two comrade's Sakura and Sasuke. "Geez Naruto, you don't have to make a big announcement you know..." Sakura said putting her hands on her hips. "It's just something to get out you know?" Naruto asked with a big grin on his face. Sakura sighed while rolling her eyes as Sasuke payed no attention what-so-ever to his team mates. A poof was heard behind Naruto making him turn around as Sakura and (slightly) Sasuke had their attention snap back into order. "Hello guys!' Kakashi said in a good mood. "YOUR LATE YOU PERVERTED LECHER!" Naruto yelled angrily, next thing Naruto knew he was sent to a tree making him have swirls-as-eyes. "Ahem...anyway. I actually have an important announcement to make" Kakashi said, clearing his throat at the beginning. Naruto snapped out of his 'daze' as Sakura and Sasuke lifted their eyes up to their sensai.

"This is a C-B rank mission we're assigned to" Kakashi began. "Really!?" "Now way!" Naruto and Sakura said at the same time as Sasuke just smirked. "We're to be headed out to this Village..or 'Town' that is pretty far aways from here, though we might not have to be headed off for a few weeks-" Kakashi continued but was cut off. "A FEW WEEKS!? THEN WHY TELL US NOW!?" Naruto yelled pointing to his sensai. Kakashi sighed, "Its because we're still waiting for a reply from the Town/Village and it takes a couple days for a reply to come from that far of a distance. So I'm just informing you so you can prepare yourself for this mission. It's going to be a tough one so you better get ready while you still can." Kakashi finished.

"But Sensai, what are we suppose to DO when we reach this town-er-village? What's our duty there?" Sakura asked tilting her head slightly to the side. "Our job is to help protect it from these 'demons' and 'god'-like creatures there. It didn't give alot of detail about this town since it was recently made but it gives us a good note on the fact we have to be absolutely ready for this mission" Kakashi explained. "Alright! A special mission that's going to be a challenge! Just what the Doctor ordered!" Naruto chimed as he jumped and raised a high fist in the air. "Now that you know this, we'll be taking harder training from this point on...SO I'm giving you guys some practice rounds today so you can be prepared for next times training, see you then!" Kakashi sensai said, and with that-he disappeared in a poof of smoke.

"WHAT!?" Naruto complained. "Oh quiet Naruto..." Sakura said with a cloud sigh. Sasuke closed his eyes and walked away from the area where he once was with his comrade's. "Ah! Sasuke where are you going? Are you going to the training grounds? Can I come?" Sakura chimed as she followed/skipped to Sasuke all perky as usual. "Weiiiiird..." Naruto said to himself.

With San...

San sat on Naruto's bed while she leaned her back against the wall, examining a kunai and some other weapons he had stashed in his room. Strange...HE doesn't use weapons like these...though they do a good lot of damage alone. San twirled a kunai around her finger through the hole at the end of its handle. She threw it in the air, catching it on its handle once it came in contact with her hand again I need to ask that Naruto kid how I got here...it doesn't make any sense to stay here while my forest might be attacked right now... San thought to herself sadly, before she jumped off the bed and headed for the door, hand reaching out to the handle.

"HEY SAN!" Naruto yelled as he quickly opened the door, having San fall backwards harshly with swirls as eyes. "Huh? Hey San you OK?" Naruto asked as he slightly leaned over her. San sat up while rubbing her head "I'm fine..." she replied plainfully/ pissed off. Naruto was a little confused from her attitude and reply. "Umm oh yeah! By the way, we're assigned to a very important mission so I might not be at home as long as I 'used' to be" Naruto said smiling at her. "Important...mission?" San asked as she regained her balance while rubbing her head still.

"Yeah, we're suppose to protect this village that's supposedly attacked by demon and god-like creatures...Sensai says that its a far distance from her-" "WHAT?"
