Trumpets sounded in the room and all Angels looked toward the doors. They dropped to one knee in homage. The King of Angels walked in through opening doors, pure white wings trailing him as he entered the room. He moved slowly to the throne and sat down gracefully as the trumpets stopped. "Rise, my Children."

The Angels did as commanded. Naruto really felt out of place now, but he wasn't afraid of the King. His kind eyes centered on his cerulean ones and Naruto nodded his head, which the King returned in kind. The doors opened again and Naruto almost visibly hissed.

Archangel Orochimaru walked through the doors, his dark green wings trailing behind him along with his assistant, Kabuto. "My King." He bowed and smiled.

"What deems it necessary to call forth the Angels and myself?" His voice was slightly cold toward the man and it was something that Naruto did not miss, noting to make further use of it if the occasion so called for it.

The man smiled. "My King and fellow brethren, I have made a discovery worthy of the Kings eyes and yours all." He used his magic to transport the creature to the room.

Naruto felt the fox bristle with excitement as white smoke began to clear. All eyes fell upon the form of a Dark Angel. His arms were chained to the wall, but he was clearly unconscious. He was shirtless revealing a toned body as pale as the moonlight. A tribal tattoo graced the lower part of his stomach and disappeared beneath dangerously low black pants. Naruto felt his own tattoo as he gasped along with those around him. He looked at the Angel's sleeping face. It looked completely innocent, but there was something about the way his eyes were set that made Naruto's heart clench. It looked like pain.

He unfocused his eyes on the face and nearly gasped again as he saw the wings. They were a pure black that seemed to suck in all light only to give nothing back in return and they were bigger than most in the room, but it fit him perfectly. Like his black hair that hung playfully in his eyes, his black wings contrasted drastically with his pale body, making him look like some mystical being. Naruto chuckled at that. What the hell, they were mystical beings. No, he looked like a god. He looked like a God of the Moon.

Suddenly the fox hissed inside his mind. I smell blood, Kit. It comes from the Dark Angel. Use my eyes to see.Naruto's eyes slit and bled red as he looked at the boy. True enough, the Angel's wounds were being masked by power. He growled low in his throat earning a glance and frantic whisper from Kakashi.

"What are you doing?" He caught sight of the boy's red eyes. Of all the Angel's, he was one of only a very few that knew about the effect that the fox demon had on the young man.

"He's been wounded and they haven't been tended to. Kabuto's power is blinding us."

Kakashi used his own unique power, one eye turning a bloody crimson, and looked through the illusion. He gasped upon seeing the boy's wounds. "Don't do anything yet, Naruto. For the moment the boy is safe, but let us hear what our dear Archangel has to say before doing anything." He saw the boy nod reluctantly.

The King's eyes widened and he stepped down off his throne, approaching cautiously. "Where did you find him, Orochimaru?" He didn't touch the Angel.

"I found him while in the Dark Realm, my King. I fear that he was wounded gravely and has not yet awaken, thus the chains. I do not want him to lash out at us in fear if he should awaken."

The blonde could not contain his ire. "LIAR!" His voice cut through the room and the Archangel growled mentally. What was that brat doing here?

Naruto couldn't stand it anymore and before Kakashi could do anything, the boy was in front of the Angel. "My King, look closer at this Angel. All is not as it seems." Naruto turned to Kabuto and sent a wave of power to disrupt the caster of the illusion. Kabuto bit his lip and gasped as he felt his control slip.

The Angels gasped as the illusion fell and they beheld the broken form of the Dark Angel before him. His body was littered with cut as bruises, and one fierce cut on his neck was starting to bleed once again. His eyes were heavy with dark rings of sleep loss and one of his wings was torn. Naruto groaned at seeing the real image instead of the vague image the fox gave him. "Get a healer!" People flew into action.

The Archangel hissed and he stepped back. He grinned: the boy had turned his back on him. Releasing a killing bolt of power at the blonde, he grinned in twisted satisfaction as said blonde turned around. There would be no time to dodge.

Naruto braced for the impact as he turned around, knowing that he wouldn't be able to move in time. The room went deadly quiet which was strange, but he never felt the blow. He opened his cerulean eyes saw the Dark Angel standing before him. Down his back a tattoo of a sword was carved into his pale skin in black ink. Barbed wire twisted around and through the blade, spilling black blood wherever it broke through steel. The handles morphed into black wings gracefully sweeping down his back to disappear below his pant line. His black wings were positioned right between his shoulder blades and made a smooth transition between back and wing. Naruto was mesmerized by the sight, but a mental slap from the fox focused his attention back on the Angel.

The Dark Angel was standing straight and still. Orochimaru cringed under the crimson gaze and threw another bolt of power at the Angel, but the others gasped as it was just absorbed into the shield surrounding him and the blonde. Suddenly a smooth baritone voice slid out into the room, it's texture sensual and pleasing against Naruto's ears. "I will not allow you to harm my savior, Archangel Orochimaru."

Naruto blushed lightly at hearing him be termed savior, but fought it down. He wished he could see and, as if reading his thoughts, a black wing lifted into the air allowing him to see the Archangel. He didn't think twice about the gesture, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He saw something he thought he would never see: the Archangel quivering where he stood.

Orochimaru growled as he saw blonde hair and blue eyes. He shot another bolt of power towards them but he was surprised when the Dark Angel caught the arrow-like bolt in his hand and crushed it, shattering it into a thousand sparks of harmless sickly yellow light. The boy's voice returned again. "Do not tempt my wrath, Orochimaru. You caught me off guard last time and there will not be another."

The King was afraid to move, but he swallowed and stepped forward. "Orochimaru, what is the meaning of this?"

The Archangel growled. "Do not listen to lies of a Renegade Angel, my King, nor this mutt of one." He pointed to Naruto.

The blonde growled and red stole into his eyes. Another deeper voice rode along side his own as he spoke. "Do not accuse me of lying you snake!" Around him, all cringed hearing the fox, but the Dark Angel remained unfazed.

The black winged Angel spoke once more, another voice beginning to ride deeper along side his own. "Fall to your knees, Snake." The power laced into his words made the Archangel fall to his knees. The Angel took a step forward, chains dragging behind him.

Naruto blinked as he heard the voice and barely registered what was happening around him. Yes, Kit. He has a Demon inside him as well and it is very powerful at that. He will obey you if you ask it. The message was cryptic as usual, but he had learned to follow suggestions. He focused on the world and watched painfully as the chains tore open the Dark Angel's skin as he walked. Completely forgetting the Archangel bent on knee, he stepped forward, a name on his lips.

"Stop, Sasuke." He blinked as the name fell from his mouth not knowing where it came from. The Angel stopped in his tracks.

Kakashi saw the opportunity. "Tell him to stand down and let us handle, Orochimaru." He was curious.

Naruto nodded, hating using the dark man in such a way. "Sasuke, stand down. Let the others handle that snake. You need your wounds tended to."

All watched entranced as the Dark Angel turned around and walked slowly back to the blonde Angel. Naruto's eyes locked on crimson eyes and watched as they slowly turned to onyx. The Angel's movements slowed and he fell just as he reached Naruto. The blonde caught the Angel known as Sasuke in his arms before he hit the ground. The man's face was finally completely peaceful. Naruto looked up at the snake, his eyes bleeding red and hissed. "You will pay."

The King used his power to hold the Archangel still. "Take him to the interrogation room. I want to know everything, and take Kabuto with you." Out of the air, Warrior Angels, clad in thin armor and swords on hips, appeared and hauled the now screaming Angels into another dimension. The King turned kind eyes on the Angel holding the Dark Angel in his arms. "Naruto." He put his hand on the boy's shoulder and almost cried seeing tears in blue cerulean eyes.

"Help him, Uncle." There was such pain in his voice that he nodded.

"Follow me, Naruto. The rest of you report to the Palace for an emergency meeting. I will be there soon." The King and Naruto disappeared with the Dark Angel.
