Demon Spell

Team seven's training ground

Naruto sat in team seven's old training ground as he thought back on his last hospital visit. He idly watched kit trip over her chubby paws as she attempted to catch a runaway butterfly. He laughed for a moment before thinking on these new developments. He would be lying if he said he was not in favor of it yet another part really was afraid of it. He couldn't help but wonder if Sakura could handle him if he lost control. He could feel Kyuubi move less and less everyday. In a way it made him feel empty, even though he had never been aware of it the fox's presence really comforted him. Seeing the sun set Naruto stood up and stretched before popping his bones. He then picked up the now sleepy kit.

As he walked he felt it. It hadn't happened to him in a while but he could feel the lust build up. He needed to feel blood. Feeling his blood begin to boil he dropped kit then made a mad dash for the village gate. He needed to get outof the village now. Not even thinking about it Naruto ran for the village exit. He felt something different about it this time.. And it scared him. He had just whizzed passed the village gate when everything went black.

Konoha Forest

In the forest a lone creature sat on the ground. Covered in blood. Next to it laid a mangled corpse. The creature looked morbid as it allowed the blood to run over its clawed fingers. From its silhouette against the moon one could seea set of ears that twitched constantly as the creature began to rise. Behind it a large tail lashed around. It was ever so hungry. Looking from the corpse it swung its head behind it let the lone moon bathe it in its light. Its ears suddenly twitched as it heard the sound of foot steps approaching it. It let loose a howl of joy. Prey was coming. That was the only thing that rang through its head as its yellow eyes began to glow.

Hokage mansion

Tsunade sat at her desk in absolute boredom. For once she had no work to do. Looking out the window she barely acknowledged a flustered gate keeper tumbling into her office. "Tsunade-sama we have a problem." Turning herchair around she looked at him. "What is it." The gate keeper looked terrified as he tensed. He knew he was probably get his first beating from this woman if what the anbu who guarded told her was telling the truth. "well um I wasguarding the gate when Naruto suddenly ran out. I was about to yell at him when he suddenly collapsed but then he suddenly got up and stared at me." The man suddenly stopped.

Tsunade wanting to know more snapped. "Well goon!" "Well um you see what happened was his eyes…they were red…He looked at me and my body suddenly froze. He then like smiled and he like dashed into the forest." "Damn it we have to get him without the elders knowing if wewant to protect him!" "But um Tsunade-sama I don't think it'll be that…." Tsunade smashed her fist on the table before she stood up from her now destroyed desk. "I have no choice….Call Sakura and Kakashi." The man noddedbefore he scurried out of the room. 'Naruto you idiot' thought Tsunade silently to herself.

Konoha forest.

The yellow creature stared into the dense wood as something came swiftly by. The creature lifted its lips up as that something suddenly froze it its tracks. It turned its head around revealing blood red eyes.

Hokage mansion

A worried Sakura and Kakashi (although he looked quite lax) stood before Tsunade. "I have a mission for you two…The mission is to retrieve Uzumaki Naruto." Sakura's eyes suddenly took on a horrified look. It reminded her of the look Naruto took on when Sasuke left. Tsunade knew this may be to much but they would know best how to deal with Naruto. "Tsunade-sama what do you mean by that?" "Naruto ran out of town today when he knew he was under watch. The only reason for this is something regarding his transformation. I want you two to get him…before he does something that he will regret." Sakura and Kakashi nodded before Tsunade waved her hand in dismissal. Faster than lightening the two left the room. "I hope this works out. "

Konoha forest

The two creatures snarled at each other as they circled. The red eyed one seemed to be seething with rage while the yellow eyed one seemed to seethe with lust. The red eyed one spoke in a savage language as it looked at the yellowed eyed one. "What are doing in my territory!?" The other creature snarled as in response "You own nothing! I came here for fun and I guess I found it." The yellow eyed creature sniffed the air as its face lifted into a smirk.

It began to observe its opponent. It had yellow fox ears that sat perched atop an equally yellow mop of yellow hair. Its body was muscular and flexible. Behind it a single bushy tail seemed to almost scrape the ground. The only thing scary about it was the haunting red eyes and sharp fangs.

Meanwhile the red eyed one looked at the yellow eyed one. It had sharp black ears that sat on top of a mane of black hair. It had a large black tail that was pointed up. Thebody was large and not really too flexible. The creature looked a bit older than the yellow eyed one but not by much. It had nothing scary about it. The red eyed one did not smirk…In fact it smiled a smile of death. A stray owl hooted.

The two beasts sprung.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura and Kakashi sped thru the trees in a search for Naruto. Up until a minute ago they had no lead (Kakashi felt it unsafe to summon any dogs) but suddenly the two froze. The scent of blood wafted to their nose and the sound of snarls ripped thru the air. Sakura felt a little sick at this but looked to her sensai who stood in alarm. She was shocked to see his sharingan revealed. "Lets go." She nodded as they sped forward.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two beasts tore into each others flesh as they fought. The red eyed one fought with claw and fang while the yellow eyed one fought with savage fists and sharp fangs. The red eyed one saw an opening and swung a sharp fistto the beasts throat. Instead it felt its own throat grabbed then it felt its body fall. The yellow eyed beast smiled as it held the creature by the throat. As the yellow one began to clamp on the hand, It saw a fur ball launching itself towards them. Before the yellow eyed one was able to react the creature had one of his ears in it's fangs.

In shock he loosened his grip which allowed the red eyed one to slip free. Dancing back it reached its claws out and slashed him in the face. The yellow eyed one shook his head which dislodged the fur ball towards a tree. Turning he eyed a small fox kit. He laughed. An average animal dared touch him. He looked as it struggled to its feet, teeth bared. He quickly launched to it, his fist aimed for it. The sound of flesh being torn rang through the air.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura flinched as they approached the scene she could hear flesh being punctured. Kakashi looked towards the scene a little nervous. He had to admit. This was not what he was expecting. Naruto stood with a fist through hisshoulder. In his demon form. Before him stood a black haired boy with bloody fists and fangs. The creature turned it's eyes on them.

"I can't believe you risked your life for a dumb fox kit." Naruto raised his eyes at the beast. His eyes were no longer red but a deep yellow. He snarled as he felt the beast withdraw its fist. Naruto had just gained control to feel afist going thru him. In shock he fell to the floor. He needed to heal. Behind he could see Kit not moving. Then he froze. Kakashi and Sakura were here. He knew the beast knew. Though he had no doubt of their abilities he feared fortheir safety. Naruto new what to do. In an instant he transformed into a flaming yellow fox. He growled as he stood and charka gathered at his feet. His wounds closed up as bristled at the beast. The beast smiled before it shifted form. Before him stood huge black dog that had white paws. It snarled as white charka rose up around it. In an instant they where fighting.

But this time it was different. The beast faded from his view. Before he could react water came hurling towards him. His fur was doused as the beast once again had him by the throat. But he smirked. Before the beast could actKakashi had already made his move. The beast howled in pain as a chidori was drove thru its side. Releasing him Naruto scrambled aside and pinned him by the throat. The bleeding beast mumbled. "I never knew foxes ran in a pack."

Naruto growled but lessened his hold on his throat. "Don't worry we aren't going to kill you yet." But before another word can be said the dog like figure melted away and laughter rang thru the trees. "Did you think I would go down that easily? I have the blood of the god of illusions in my veins!" Naruto suddenly stepped back. This was another person like him…and he knew which one. "I'm not ready for him yet." Naruto said. Kakashi simply smirked before speaking. "Naruto I wouldn't think so lightly of yourself." Naruto turned back before he realized. It had slipped his mind. Naruto suddenly closed his eyes before he felt them sharpen. In an instant he saw the beast. It was injured. Kakashi really had nailed him. Naruto suddenly ran towards a tree and snapped. He had the beast by the throat as it snarled and he tossed it to the ground. The beast was still fighting when Sakuraapproached.

Naruto added more pressure to the beasts throat stilling it. Sakura using her medic skills paralyzed the beast. It slumped. Then ceased moving. Naruto sat down panting as he let go. But then he suddenly ran to kit. She was injured pretty bad and her breathing seemed labored. "Sakura! Help please!" Sakura ran over and looked at kit. "Naruto I don't know if…" Naruto snapped angrily at the air. "Try damn it" he roared. Turning to the unconscious beast he began to charge. Kakashi held him by the scruff. "Let me fucking down that bastard!" Kakashi spoke out in a low voice. "Naruto acting like this, it won't help anyone."

Naruto still bristled as he watched Sakura work. But Sakura kept shaking her head. "Naruto come here." Naruto walked over to see kit breathing harder. "I have an idea but it may make her worst.." "what is it." Sakura sighed as shelooked down. "Your blood may help her but I have no idea of its effect." Naruto's face looked pointed before he asked. "Will she die if I don't." "I'm nt sure but most likely." She said in a low voice. Naruto did not hesitate before hesliced himself open. Sakura formed a charka needle before she drew blood. She then injected it. Kit suddenly started shaking and yelping. Sakura looked to Naruto who stood up and walked away. In the distance she could hear treesfalling. Kakashi picked up the rouge dog while Sakura picked up Kit. The two of them walked to Konoha in silence.

Konoha Early morning

Naruto stumbled back into town to the guard's shock. Naruto said not a word as he walked thru the streets. He was covered in blood and his cloths were torn. His forehead protector dangled from his neck as in rhythm with his steps. He walked to Sakura's apartment. When he knocked on the door he heard her foot steps approach . As soon as she opened it he collapsed in it. Sakura merely helped him to the couch. He laid there in a morbid way as she sat down next to him. "Did she make it?" Sakura looked away. "She did but…." Before Sakura could reply she found herself in the bloody arms of Naruto as he held her tight. "Thank you." She hugged him back as she spoke. "But she won't be able to come home for a few days Kiba's sister is keeping her for observation." But as she finished she could see Naruto had fallen asleep already. Smiling she fell asleep as well.

Konoha Morning

Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura stood before Tsunade's desk. Naruto looked much better now. He had washed and now wore a red shirt with baggy black pants. His forehead protector was placed much more comfortably around hisneck. And his mood seemed a bit chipper. When he had awoke he had changed more. He was a little bit more taller and his hair had grown longer. His Blue eyes seemed even bluer and his face seemed a bit sharper. His ears had a definite point. His fangs longer and his senses much better. Tsunade looked at him as she had snapped her fingers. A anbu walked in with a large dog on a chain. It looked quite beaten and it walked with a limp. Naruto didn't care.

When they approached it got skittish. "This is what you guys brought back with you?" Asked Tsunade in question.Naruto sneered as it looked at it. Naruto bent down and barked in a sharp voice. "Stop the act your not fooling anyone." The dog suddenly stood rigid as turned around and snapped at the chain. When it didn't break the doghuffed before a boy sat with a chain around his throat. Now that he was in the light he looked quite different. His long black hair that was be streaked with white hung a little below his chin. He was kind of slim but heavy. His eyes were a golden brown and where a little bit wide. He had a childish look to his face but with a bit of sharpness to it. His hand's and feet had blunt claws. Even his fangs were small. Another peculiarly was his body which seemed a little miss proportionate. He wore a white silk shirt which was torn and so were his brown silk pants. He opened his mouth and spoke in a roughish voice. "Unhand me you had no right to capture me." Naruto snorted which drew the boys eyes on him. "Your not complete are you." Naruto's eyes narrowed as he looked at he boy. The boy smirked at him.

Tsunade got up from her seat before standing by the boy. "Who are you and where are you from. Don't lie to me or I'll make you regret it. That chain around your neck has demon sealing abilities. You won't be able to use your demon powers." The boy looked shocked. I don't feel any different." Tsunade nodded to the anbu who applied some charka. A jolt ran thru the boy causing him to yelp in pain. "Now tell us." He gave her a dirty look before he spoke."The name is Kuro. I'm not from a ninja village like you are or any where on this god forsaken island. I was born in Europe. My father and I came to this country after I was possessed by demon who lived in a tree purchased from thishell hole. So you assholes better unhand me." Naruto snorted form the corner before he spoke. The boy turned at him. "If not for your friends you would have been killed." Naruto did not reply. Tsunade looked down at the boy before speaking. "First where is your father. Second why were you in this are and last why did you attack Naruto." The boy sat on the ground cross-legged style to show his disrespect as he spoke.

"My father is dead. I was here because I gowhere ever the hell I please. I attacked him because I never expected to meet an old rival." At the end of his statement the anbu looked to Tsunade who nodded. He withdrew a odd looking material which he tied to the boys throat. He then released the chain. The boy jumped up ready to fight only to feel even weaker and falling. "You ass holes." Tsunade looked down on him. "Be glad brat. This is for your own safety."

Before he could reply he was dragged away. Tsunade turned to look at the three remaining people before she had them give her a detailed report. At the end she sat back in her chair. "Naruto I don't want to have to chain you but.."Naruto before he walked to her. "Hag do what you gotta do." She looked at him sadly before she handed Kakashi and Sakura a long metal chain. Tsunade suddenly seemed to steel herself before she spoke. "For now on Naruto you arenot permitted to be left alone without a collar. If you wish not to wear one you must be in the company of either Kakashi or Sakura. This is effective as of now until further notice." Naruto looked down in sadness but at least it would stop him from loosing control. Tsunade then spoke again. "Sakura you have the next week off. Naruto and Sakura your both dismissed." Naruto getting the hint left the premise. Once she could no longer sense their presence Tsunade spoke. "Kakashi you have a mission briefing you must attend….I'm sorry to pin this on you…" Kakashi looked off into the distance before he spoke. "You know those chains are in pieces as they are now because a certain fox when bound in them broke free of them?" Tsunade looked at him before she pulled out a bottle of sake. "I know. I know." Kakashi looked down at her before he spoke. "When are we going to tell Naruto about the other problem." Tsunade turned around to see a small young girl looking at her with orbs of yellow and hair as red as fire.

Konoha streets.

Naruto and Sakura walked down the street together. Naruto seemed a bit sad but not all that sad. He kept giving Sakura knowing smirks. Naruto moved fluidly to her other side before he spoke. "Sakura-chan lets go do somethingfun." Sakura blushed. When he was close she could smell his scent which reminded her of a spring breeze. "Like?" Naruto smirked before he suddenly swept her off her feet. She blushed as everyone looked at them in shock. Narutosimply ignored them before he bent down and whispered into her ear. "How about we go play hide and seek. You hide and I seek." Sakura was about to say no when he spoke. "I promise I won't be cheap." Sakura couldn't help butnod before Naruto suddenly turned around and ran up wind. "You have until the wind shifts." He closed his eyes. Sakura in an instant laid down several genjutsu before speeding off. Moments later the wind shifted and Naruto started to chase after her. He kept his speed at his old speed and was glad to see she used something to cover herscent. As he ran around people gave him knowing smirks.

Eventually he found himself in a field of cosmos flowers. He had never been to this part of town before. He couldn't help but fall in a pile of the flowers. They just grew sorichly here. To his surprise he heard a squeak. Naruto laughed once he realized it to be Sakura. Flipping himself over he looked down at her. "So I found you." She looked up at him before she spoke. "Naruto get off." Naruto smirkedbefore he spoke. "Let me think about it…No. I haven't really had a chance to lay down lately." She glared at before she whipped out a box. Before he could question about it a loud dog bark rang out. Naruto's ears and tail popped out while he jumped about 20 feet in the air. Yelping he looked down to see Sakura laughing her ass off. Naruto then sat close to her with his ears dropping and looking sulky. After her laughter ceased she looked to see him looking gloomy. "Was that to much for the village's number one prankster Hmm Naruto-kun?" Naruto swiftly turned around his voice proud and flabbergasted. "Of course not!"

Sakura simply smirked before she looked up at the clouds. Naruto sighed as he joined her. The only thing making noise was the sound of chirping birds. '1000 chirping birds.' Naruto snorted lightly. Looking over at Sakura he wondered how her feelings were about him and Sasuke. He wanted to ask but he didn't want to take the soft smile from her face. He had only seen that smile once since Sasuke left…and that was day he returned. As they sat the wind began to whirl causing all of the flowers to wave. Naruto watched in a daze at how beautiful Sakura looked sitting there among them. She then turned her green orbs on him. They were so soft. She held her hand out to him to which he gladlyaccepted. Misfortune seemed to follow Naruto but for today he felt as if lady luck finally dealt him a winning hand.
