Naruto: Finally! We're over the half way mark with this chapter!

Jiraiya: That means the road is going to be tougher from here on out.

Naruto: (dead pans) Can you give me a moment of rejoice?

Jiraiya: No, this is revenge for calling me Ero-Sennin so many times.

Naruto: Watch it pervert or I'll call in a higher power.

Jiraiya: You've got nothing.

Naruto: Oh, I have something. (takes a deep breath)

Jiraiya: (pales) You wouldn't dare.

Naruto: OBAA-CHAN! JIRAIYA'S PEEPING ON THE ANGELS AGAIN!

Tsunade: (appears out of nowhere and smashes Jiraiya into the ground) I TOLD YOU TO STOP PEEPING ON THEM YOU PERVERT!

Naruto: (smirks) And now for the next chapter, Black Wings. Well, that sounds ominous.


Kurumi jumped away as soon she realized Karinka was behind her. Turning around, she noticed Karinka had stayed where she was and in her angered state, she hadn't even noticed that Naruto and Jiraiya were there now, taking care of Saki. "You'll pay for what you did to my sister!"

Lunging towards Karinka, Kurumi threw a punch for the blonde's temple. But she traveled through Karinka as if she wasn't there but her image still was. Despite her anger, Kurumi was still able to think coherently, which was a surprise as she normally couldn't. "A Bunshin?!"

Suddenly, Karinka was above her, smirking. "No, just an after image!"

The pink hair angel's eyes widened before she gasped as Karinka slammed her heels into her lower back, forcing her into the ground. Before Karinka could start stomping on her, she rolled with such force that Karinka tripped over her and hit the ground face first.

Grunting, Karinka quickly jumped up only to see Kurumi was alright up. That was all she knew as the next second she was flying back as she felt a mighty blow to her cheek. Driving her heels into the ground, Karinka growled before wiping her cheek. "Damn you bitch. I'll make you pay for that!"

Kurumi refused to hesitate as she sprinted towards Karinka, her hair whipping dangerously behind. Karinka wasn't even prepared for such a quick attack and was unable to even put up a defense as Kurumi landed a series of blows to her face, sternum and abdomen.

Flying back once more and skidding across the ground, Karinka snarled before she jumped back up and caught Kurumi charging her once more. With a quick step, she disappeared from view, leaving everyone else to wonder where she had gone.

Karinka suddenly appeared in front of Kurumi as soon as she stopped to scan the area for her and drove her fist into the pink haired angel's stomach. As the air escaped her lungs, Kurumi stumbled back when Karinka unloaded a series of counter punches to send her flying back.

Quickly recovering, Kurumi frowned as Karinka stood her ground as she chuckled. "Oh, this is going to be fun. You're much more a challenge then that blonde brat and his toy."

Growing angrier, Kurumi's eyes flashed crimson for a moment before she roared as she jumped towards her. "DON'T CALL THEM NAMES!"

Soon as she was on Karinka, she went through the dual heart angel once again but this time something was different. There wasn't just one Karinka; there were many of them surrounding her in a full circle. "Well, it seems I've hit a nerve. Let's see if I can hit some more."

Kurumi was suddenly on the receiving end of a constant attack from each side, barely defending herself as one Karinka dove in attack before running back out as another took her place. Taking a blow to her diaphragm from the side, Kurumi fell to her knees and started gasping for air.

Karinka began to laugh as she saw Kurumi kneel. Her astral clones dismissed as she walked besides Kurumi before gripping the back of her hair and lifted her up, causing Kurumi to shriek out in pain. "You are so weak! I don't even know why you are supposedly a superior model! I don't see what that blonde hair brat sees in you!"

As the words rolled of her tongue, Kurumi's blue eyes slowly turned a robotic crimson.


"Dammit! I've got to help her…" Naruto growled out as he moved from Saki's side before suddenly he was jerked back.

"Don't Naruto. This is Kurumi's fight." Jiraiya stated as he pulled Naruto back before turning his attention to Kurumi, noticing the change in demeanor. "This isn't a normal fight. The dark side of Kurumi's heart will come out soon and we need to be ready to calm her down… Maybe even destroyer her if she cannot revert back to herself."

Naruto's entire body became rigid before his gaze darkened. "No, we can't destroy her! If it comes down to that, I'll find a way to save her!"

Jiraiya nodded as he bit his thumb before going through the hand seals for a summon. "Trust me; I don't plan on getting to that point. But we're going to need some help, Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Suddenly, two small and aged toads appeared. Soon as they were summoned, they both jumped onto Jiraiya's summons, the male speaking first. "This isn't normal, Jiraiya. You're summoning us more then usual."

"It's the angel again, isn't it?" The female one spoke as she looked in the ruins. "I remember this place. This was where the Project Steel Angel was started."

Naruto wasn't sure what to think about the two elder toads, but his attention quickly turned to the battle as a loud crack was heard before a foul chakra caught everyone's attention to see what was happening. "No! KURUMI STOP!"


Karinka's entire world was spinning around her as she slowly tried to pick herself up. She had no clue what had just happened that allowed Kurumi to have such strength, but she did know one thing. "OW! THAT HURT LIKE HELL YOU BITCH! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT!

Jumping onto the tree that she was sent through, she suddenly froze as she saw a red and black aura surrounding Kurumi. Her eyes were glowing so bright that it seemed to be demonic and her pupil were long gone, making her seem more like a robot then ever before.

Shivering, as she didn't like the look she was giving her, Karinka took a deep breath and regained her courage. It suddenly disappeared when the tree next to her when a giant hole appeared within it, making it fall onto her.

With a burst of power, she threw it off and jumped back to her feet only to be hit by a direct blast of the angelic/demonic chakra. It was more painful then even when the blonde had slammed that blue orb into her chest. Slammed against the tree, the blast fizzled out allowing Karinka to regain her breath.

She was suddenly in another world of pain as Kurumi was on her and with two punches she was suddenly in a five foot crater. There was no doubt that some of her main components were broken from just those two blows. Growling as she attempted to pick herself up, her entire body went limp as Kurumi lifted her up by the collar.

Kurumi gazed into Karinka's emerald eyes and saw the fear and saw her body was trembling. But it wasn't enough, gathering energy in her fist she slowly brought it to Karinka's throat, the girl flinching and trying to break her grip, fearing for her life.

"NO! KURUMI STOP!" Naruto's voice reached their ears.

Instantly, Kurumi's eyes turned back to their natural color before she dropped Karinka to the ground. Slowly standing up, she turned around to see Naruto almost directly behind her, running straight to her. "Master? What's wrong, desu?"

Naruto stopped directly in front of her, not sure what to say at first. He hadn't expected Kurumi to suddenly revert as she did but was glad that she had. Gently reaching out, he placed his on hers and lightly gripped it as he smiled softly. "Let's go. She's had enough. You don't have to prove anything."

Blinking at Naruto's reaction at first, Kurumi's face suddenly became completely excited before she nodded energetically. "Okay! Let's go master, desu."

As Karinka slowly pulled herself from the crater, she looked up to see Kurumi and Naruto walking away from her. Catching their conversation before, Karinka smirked as she slowly but steadily stood on her own. "I might not be able to defeat Kurumi, but I can still get her to do what I want."

Using a burst of strength, she suddenly disappeared, having one last plan to get what she wanted.

Seeing Kurumi walking besides Naruto, Jiraiya sighed in relief knowing that there wasn't going to be any problem. "Thank Lady Amaterasu; he was able to bring her back."

Both toad elders nodded in agreement, both glad they didn't have to deal with the Demon Angel once more. They were lucky last time and they did not want to test their luck again.

The seemingly happy ending suddenly came to a halt as Kurumi hit the ground and Naruto was being dragged, a kunai at his throat. Jiraiya attempted to react, but Karinka's voice sounded from behind the blonde haired hostage. "Stay back! I won't hesitate to slit his throat!"

Jiraiya tensed before cursing knowing the angel wasn't kidding. Any action he could take could possibly end in Naruto's life being taken and he refused to let another one of his students to die. So taking the role as negotiator, he spoke in a stoic tone. "What do you want Karinka?"

"I want you to remove the pink hair bitch's heart and implant it into me! I also want an upgrade on my body!" Karinka yelled out, tightening her grip on Naruto's throat, cutting the blade into his neck slightly.

Narrowing his eyes at her response, Jiraiya knew that Karinka was now acting on her own. While this was good as she was no longer under the Akatsuki's control, it was extremely bad as this was her own action, not what they wanted. "I can't do that Karinka; it would kill both of you."

"Bullshit! The snake told me he could do it after they removed the fox's power from it! If he can do it, you can! Now pull her heart out now!" Karinka countered violently, accidentally cutting deeper into Naruto's throat, cutting into the larynx.

As blood began to spurt from Naruto's neck, Karinka suddenly let go of the kunai, not wanting to cut that deeply. Her eyes grew wider as Naruto fell to the ground, placing his hands on his throat to stop the bleeding before a sudden burst of red chakra began to surround him.

However, none of this matter as all Kurumi saw was the blood spurting from Naruto's neck. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't. She wanted to run and try to help, but her body refused to move. She tried to force it to, she really tried. But nothing seemed to be working.

Instead of screaming and running to her master, her eyes turned robotic red once more and a pitch black aura surrounded her before two black, angel-like wings slowly began to flicker behind her.

Kurumi's Mark Two Heart had taken over once more and her attention was completely on Karinka.

Jiraiya's entire body became pale before he closed his eyes. "Not again…"

"Are you ready, Jiraiya? We need to use it now before she gets out of control again." The elder male toad asked, knowing what was going through Jiraiya's mind.

Jiraiya couldn't find the strength to say yes at first as the power emitting from Kurumi was far greater then last time had been. He was afraid of the angel that he helped design.

However, no matter what, he could not give into his fear. Not while his newest student and son of his last student was in danger.

Without an answer, Jiraiya's very appearance began to change into that of his sage form as both the elder toads lent him a hand into the transformation. As soon as it complete, Jiraiya spoke with no hesitation in his voice. "Our only goal is to get Kurumi to calm down and revert back to normal."

"What if we can't, Jiraiya?" The female elder asked as she gazed at the pink haired angel, with the black wings flickering in and out of reality faster then before.

The hermit sage gave no response at first. But after closing his eyes for a moment, he opened them with a renewed vigor as he gazed at Kurumi's Demon Angel form. "It won't come to that. I've promised my student that much and I will keep my promise."

While the elders wanted to be proud of their first student, there was no time to be as all attention was brought back to Kurumi as a sphere of black energy swelled around her very being. The elder male was the first to speak.

"Very well, but this will be harder then any fight ever before."


Kurumi found herself in a strange room, one she had never been in before. The room was pitch black, but there was streaks of white light that dazzled and caught Kurumi's attention as they passed by.

After roaming around for a while, she began scratching her head. "What's going on? Where am I, desu?"

"So you are the vessel of my power?" A demonic voice echoed from all around before a dark crimson glow appeared before Kurumi.

The pink haired angel jumped back as the red glow slowly began to bubble and form into the shape of a head, a fox head to me more precise. "What the… Who are you, desu?!"

The dark voice chuckled as the head finished forming, looking almost exactly like the kitsune. "My you are quite a morsel. I'm wishing I was sealed within you so we could have some fun."

It took a few moments for Kurumi to register what Kyuubi had said but soon as she did, she attempted to punch the fox's face. "ONLY MASTER CAN DO THAT WITH ME!"

Her fist, however, stop even before it neared the fox as red chakra suddenly surrounded Kurumi and bound her. "Don't even try. As long as my power is sealed within you, you can't touch me. In fact, I can do anything I want with you as long as my power flows through your body."

Kurumi froze as she finally understood who/what it was in front of her. "No… You can't be, desu. You're supposed to be locked in master!"

Kyuubi smirked as her chakra firmly wrapped around her, not really paying attention to what she said and instead thinking about what he could do with the pink haired angel. But feeling her struggle as his chakra started to seep into her system, some ways less appropriate then others. "And I am; I am merely communicating with you through my power."

Yelping as the fox's chakra violated her, Kurumi panted as she gazed at the fox. "What… What do you… What do you want of me?!"

Still grinning as he watched his chakra work, Kyuubi's crimson eyes gazed into her blue. "I want to take you for a test ride. I might want to resurrect within you when I get out of this infernal cage if my assumptions are correct. And this is the best way to get back at that ningen."

"I want to see him squirm like the ant he is!"


Naruto: Uh-oh. Kurumi has been overwhelmed again.

Jiraiya: (whimpers) My back…

Tsunade: (stomps on Jiraiya) This isn't good, Jiraiya has been flattened and I'm not even supposed to be here.

Naruto: You know you are the one that flattened him.

Tsunade: Hey, I'm innocent till proven guilty.

Naruto: (sighs) Great, just great. First Kurumi, now this.

Tsunade: It gets worse.

Naruto: (glares) How?

Tsunade: Using the darkness of her heart, Kurumi is unstoppable. Is there anything that can stop her destructive rage? Find out next time in, A Demon Angel.

Naruto: (groans) Oh come on! Give me a break!

Jiraiya: (jumps up unharmed) Please remember leaving a review is most appreciated, even if you point out his flaws, and if any of you still have questions, the author will be more then glad to answer them. Any flames will be laughed at and disregarded, however.

Tsunade: See you all next chapter. Now where's my sake? NARUTO!

Naruto: (downs a bottle) I'm troubled.
