The Hive: A Beginning to The Colony
A/N Just so everyone is aware, there will be no pairing until the sequel. That was something that I noticed everyone got hung up on with the last one. I will warn you now however, when the sequel comes around and if I decide then to have a pairing that I am more prone to writing Yaoi/Shounen-ai/Slash than anything else. Also I will be trying to update every other Tuesday, I figure it'll be easier to stay on task if I'm on a schedule. On another note please check this forum out, it's about a lot of M rated fics being deleted. forum .fanfiction topic/111772/63683250/1/

Chapter 1: To be Reborn
Last Time
Taking a surprised step back, Naruto's face morphed into a look of dread as he tripped over a rock. He watched in absolute horror as the spider thing leaped at him and clamped onto his face tightly, feeling it's long spine like tail wrapped around his throat choking him.
The last thing Naruto felt before darkness claimed him was something large and slimy being forced down his throat.
Now
Naruto POV
'My head hurts.' Was the first thought I had as I came to.
Shards of glass shot down my throat with every swallow, and my head pulsed with a migraine. Looking around I found the spider like creature lying motionless next to me. Poking it, I blinked in surprise to find the thing dead.
"Well good riddance!" I huffed as I rubbed my chest lightly. An odd wriggling began in my upper body, punctured by shots of pain.
I gasped as my whole body jerked forward the ache in my torso worsening.
"What the hell is happening?" I cried out in panic as my body jerked some more.
It felt like someone was using a battering ram against the inside of my ribs, desperate to get out of me.
'I shouldn't have come down here.' The sour taste of regret coated my tongue as agony spiraled through my body from its origins in my chest. With widened eyes I wasted my last breath in a gasp as something burst from my torso. I barely felt as my body fell backwards, the thing screeching in victory was the last thing I saw as I floated into a heavy darkness.
The cool touch of water lapping at my skin was the first thing my brain processed as I began to come to, opening my eyes I found myself in a dark and extremely damp sewer.
'Is this what the after life is like? Where the villagers right and I really am a evil demon and this is hell?' I thought to myself and was surprised when it echoed back to me from my surroundings.
I also noticed with slight panic that the filthy water was quickly raising threatening just as surely as the dimming lights to swallow me into eternal darkness.
"How long do you plan on floating there?" A deep and annoyed voice growled from behind me.
I quickly sat up, water sloshing around me and was only faintly surprised that the water reached up to my neck, turning I stared at what appeared to be a pair of huge floating red eyes locked behind a giant cage.
"Who are you?" I asked standing up so that I didn't drown in the water.
"I finally wake up after ten years of sleeping to find you dying. You are so pathetic." the voice continued as if I didn't even speak.
"I asked you a question!" I exclaimed moving closer to the cage which was slightly elevated.
The being snorted, blowing me back into the raising water. It stepped forward the dim light bouncing off of the red fur of the giant fox.
"Kyuubi no Kitsune? Then I must really be in hell!" I yelled in panic once again moving back to my spot close to the cage.
"You're not dead you idiot, we are in your mind," The Fox's tone was bored as he stared down at me. "Your precious Yondaime couldn't kill me so he sealed me inside of a new born baby. Lucky for you, you were that baby." Kyuubi rolled his eyes, sarcasm dripping from his words.
I stood in shock for only a minute before the water caught my attention again.
"What's happening?" I asked moving as close to the seal as I dared.
"I told you, we're dying." Kyuubi said annoyance clear in his voice.
"Can't you do something? I thought demons were fast healers?" I said as I pushed my way through the cage's bars.
"What makes you think I would help you? I could just let you die and I will go free."
"I've read about Jinchuuriki before, if I die you die!"
"I'll just be reborn."
"But then you'll have to start all over again with gathering your power!"
There was a slight pause before the irritated reply came. "I can't with all of my powers sealed away. If the wound wasn't so grave I would have been able to no problem."
"What if I rip off part of the seal?" I asked climbing onto to one of his enormous paws.
"That might work."
"I can't reach that high."
Kyuubi sighed lifting his paw so that I could get to the seal, I very carefully reached outside of the bars and made sure to rip one fourth of the seal off.
"Is that enough?"
"No a little more."
Huffing, I carefully ripped the seal further, "That should be fine." Kyuubi said, his demonic chakra surging through my body.
Through the brightening of the lights I was able to watch as the fox worked relentlessly, molding the red chakra to save my life. After what felt like forever he groaned, lying carefully so that I didn't fall off of my perch on his paw.
"You're healed," He rumbled out, placing his huge head between his paws. "Whatever that thing was it left some residue in your body. I examined it and found it to be interesting so I incorporated it into your DNA along with some other changes."
"You were messing around with my DNA? What the hell Kyuubi?" I exclaimed tensing up and glaring at the Kitsune.
A low growl vibrated from Kyuubi's chest as he huffed, "Hush up Kit, the creatures residue could not be destroyed nor could it stay the way it was." I could hear the "Ungrateful brat." At the end of that sentence even if it wasn't voiced. "As for the modifications I did… just call it an insurance of sorts, so that something like this won't happen again. I have gifted you with a new Kekkei Genkai, you can thank me later for that."
"Fine, but I at least want to know what to expect out of this!" I said crossing my arms and pouting.
Large gleaming teeth revealed themselves in a mockery of a smirk, "I'm not sure to what extent the creature changed you, but I am certain that it enhanced your bones."
"Enhanced them how?"
"It made them harder to break like steel or something, and lighter, usually that's a bad thing but since they are harder to break I guess it's fine."
"What do lighter bones mean, and why would it be bad?"
"It means that you can move faster, jump higher, I would even say you could fly if you had wings or something. Normally that would be bad because your skeletal system wouldn't be able to support the weight of your body, but like I said they are made of some pretty durable stuff."
"That's awesome, what more did it change?"
"I believe your blood is now acidic although I'm not sure how acidic. That would make for a wick defense, like a 'no-options-left' type thing."Kyuubi said a strange light in his eyes. "You may have a second vision also, though you 're going to have to unlock it if you do. And that's all I know about that one."
Kyuubi was silent as he let me digest what he just told me. "Go on."
Kyuubi huffed in slight irritation, "I made you about forty percent fox demon. That means you will be stronger than most humans, having enhanced senses, more muscles and joints, but weaker than half-demons unfortunately. A plus to all of this however is that you'll be able to handle my demonic chakra, to a certain extent of course. We will also be able to communicate outside of your mindscape. There are other things, abilities that might pop up later in life. A Kitsune doesn't know the full extent of their abilities until at the very least their hundredth year."
"What do you mean know the extent?"
"Basically, powers and abilities will appear randomly until you're a hundred. That's what the first two tails of power are learning the extent of your talents. Then the other eight are a gauge of how powerful your demonic energy and chakra are. It also lets other Kitsunes know how well you have mastered your talents, you can't get really powerful until you've mastered your abilities."
"So I can be a nine-tailed fox someday?" Cerulean eyes widened in excitement.
"Yeah, but for you the time until you reach the extent of your abilities will probably be shorter, seeing as you more than likely won't have as long of a life span as a full or half demon. Also that would count for the creature's abilities too. You'll have to begin mastering that along with regular chakra control to be able to get past two tails."
"Okay, I'm fine with that, or as fine as I can be with someone messing with my DNA, how do I wake up?" I got up and stretched. The water no longer came into the cage and even out of the cage it only reached my ankles.
Kyuubi snorted, "I'm going back to sleep, please try to stay alive this time." A hook like jerk pulled me away from the fox and I was jolted back into my body.
I groaned lightly as I began to come to. My body ached everywhere, and it was probably due to the enhancements that Kyuubi made.
I winced as the enhanced senses hit me all at once. All of the different smells mixed into one overwhelming stench that hit me like a boulder to the face. The sounds twisted and washed over me like a crowd of screeching babies, tearing at my eardrums with serrated knives.
Taking a deep breath was a mistake, opening my eyes was a mistake, moving was a mistake, everything was a mistake.
Just before the pain overcame me and I was plunged back into darkness, I could have sworn that I saw a strange shadow move above me. I closed my eyes and thought I heard a weird scraping and slithering sound, though I couldn't tell if it was near or far.
