Sorry to those kept waiting on my story, I had WAY too much trouble trying to put Kain into character and finally I decided to wing it as I didn't want to keep putting it off.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

"Standard" Talking

"Italics" Thinking

"Bold" Kyubi speaking "Bold Underline" Kyubi thinking "Bold Italics" Raziel speaking "Bold Italics Underline" Raziel thinking

Last time on Spectral Ninja.

When the energy had begun to envelope him the coffin had started to open and out came the once king of the Vampires and the Scion of Balance.

Kain was awake at last.

New stuff starts now!

Kain stared in wonder at the familiar energy he sensed from the child before him. "Raziel…is it really you?" he wondered. Naruto, having just opened his eyes and seeing the strange being before him was preparing to run when Raziel spoke to him.

"Easy Naruto that's…my father" Raziel explained by sharing a few memories of his life with Kain, which calmed Naruto somewhat. At this point Kain decided to figure out the child before him.

"Raziel is that you?" Kain asked. "Umm…not exactly, my name is Naruto sir, but Raziel is in my mind…he says he can talk to you if I let him." Naruto relinquished control to do just that. "Father…it's been a long time hasn't it." Kain could not believe it, his favored son was free, and had apparently forgiven him. He had not believed that Raziel could ever truly forgive him for his actions. For the first time since one thousand years before his slumber he felt free of his guilt.

"Yes it has…my son" Kain answered. "Raziel" smiled for a moment, then "his" face turned serious, "Father there is something we must discuss." With that "Raziel" proceeded to explain what had happened to him, to Naruto, and what Naruto's life had been like for the last five years. Kain was furious, he could not believe that humanity had fallen so far as to treat a child the way they did. (I know this doesn't sound like Kain, but think of it this way, Raziel purified the insanity in Kain and then Kain had a thousand years to change his ways, so my Kain is much kinder and compassionate then Normal Kain.)

"Raziel, I intend to take Naruto as my newest son, with your perfect immortality, he will need a guardian, and a companion to spend the rest of eternity with, and I will not stand by and let such a pure soul suffer for the actions of another." Raziel nodded "his" head, "I agree father, me and Kyubi will be training Naruto in how to use my many abilities as they manifest, along with figuring out the benefits of his new chakra, and with me and you training him in swordsmanship he will be undefeatable when the Soul Reaver manifests."

"Very well son, please let me speak with Naruto, I want to ask his opinion on all this." said Kain. Raziel released control back to Naruto so that Kain could do so. "Naruto, how would you feel about letting me adopt you?" asked Kain. Naruto couldn't believe it, here was someone asking to be his family, he began to cry before he jumped into Kain's arms. "Yes…yes, please I…don't want to be alone any more." Naruto cried. Kain simply stood there holding the crying child speaking what soothing words he could.

"Naruto, can you show me the way to your home?" asked Kain after Naruto had calmed down some. "Ok…father" said Naruto with only a hint of shyness in his voice. Kain smiled; in his head he was planning ways of making life better for his new charge, once they returned to his home.

All right chapter done! I'm sorry my chapters are short, but even though I know for the most part what I want to happen I still have to think up the filler and his interactions with everyone else now that the baseline has changed so drastically. I hope that even though it was short it was still enjoyable for you all. So please review and tell me what you think!
