lostmoonchild: Okay, so I decided that I would update this week. Closure was given and unfortunately today I got my butt chewed twice for giving others the same closure so I'm not pleased. Anyway, I got to thinking when this chapter was written that Kyuu-chan needed a little bit of loving that extended past his random comments so he got that. Here's this week's chapter.

lostmoonchild: I don't own Naruto so don't sue.

Chapter Twenty Seven

Kyuubi hated many things as was to be expected considering how long he had been alive. Out of everything, he supposed he hated the Uchiha clan for all that they had done. Within one century, one Uchiha had managed to control him twice and each time somebody had sealed him within someone of the Uzumaki bloodline.

Originally he had hated the Uzumaki family for sealing him within their bodies. It was easy to hate the first Uzumaki woman and he had no problems hating her with as much passion as he could possibly feel. The second one, that loud red-haired woman as Hisoka so eloquently called her, was harder to hate especially considering she had such a unique way to look at things and a temper to match.

Naruto, Kyuubi discovered as the years steadily dragged on, was almost impossible to hate. Oh, it was possible to hate the loud blonde but it was harder than hell. Kyuubi was fairly certain that he had hated his Kairi keeper more than he found himself able to hate the often-slow blonde.

Which was why he was, for lack of better terms, royally pissed. He had gotten the feeling from the first moment he saw the younger Uchiha that only misery would be brought by the raven-haired boy. After his defection to that creepy snake-shinobi, it had been him to remind the blonde that it wasn't the end of the world. Naruto could become stronger due to having such a large chakra reserve and the Kyuubi no Youko at his command.

Naruto just needed to prove that he was ready to control the chakra that was being offered.

Right now the thing that Kyuubi hated most was the knowledge that his host, his precious jailor and child, was now fighting the one person that Naruto had considered to be a brother at one point. He could feel Naruto's pain as the two fought against each other, Chidori meeting Rasengan several times.

The physical pain that he knew Naruto was feeling was nothing compared to the feelings that he was being bombarded with. They both were angry that Sasuke had harmed their child and was destroying their home. As far as Kyuubi was concerned, Sasuke should be more afraid of what would happen when he broke free of Naruto and went to avenge his precious Temptation.

After all, no one that had ever pissed off a demon lived to tell the tale and those that did eventually died a horrible death.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

None of them knew how exactly the two shinobi were still standing. Blood poured from every open wound; their eyes dull as they panted for air. "You should have kept relying on that demon's chakra, dobe." Sasuke panted. "You may have won."

"I'm not dead so you haven't won yet." Naruto retorted. "Even if I had died, Kyuubi would have popped right out and taken your ass down before going to Hisoka. He won't destroy Konoha if she tells him not to. None of them will."

"You seem so certain."

"Sasuke! Suigetsu found her!" Karin shouted.

The raven smirked slightly as he backed away, seeing the look of horror and anger in the blonde's red eyes. "Looks I win, dobe." Sasuke commented. "Let's go."

Naruto attacked just as Sasuke vanished with Karin and Juugo following close behind. With a growl, the blonde began running towards where he felt Hisoka pulling only to find himself never getting closer to the edges of the village. With widening eyes, the blonde cursed himself as he realized he was caught in a genjutsu and despite trying to dispel it, found himself unable to. "Somebody help!" Naruto shouted as the village faded away and he was trapped in a smothering darkness that had no escape.

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

His entire body hurt from the injuries that Naruto had given him and add on the screams that were currently leaving the girl's lips, Sasuke would have been impressed if the girl lasted all the way back to the hideout. "Shut up already!" Sasuke snapped at the girl, the back of his hand meeting her cheek.

Hisoka's screams stopped as her entire body was jerked, gray eyes glaring hatefully at Sasuke before she attempted to bite Suigetsu. "Knock it off!" Suigetsu shouted as he jerked his hand away again. "Damn it! A year of freedom and you're already trying to kick ass."

From the injuries that Karin was currently tending to on Sasuke, it was safe to say that her father had landed quite a few good hits. It was also safe to say that they'd be taking her to where the older Uchiha was and where he was, the other Bijuu would be there too. If that was the case then she could easily restore her reserves using their chakra and perhaps figure out how to break them free. "Put a chakra inhibitor on her. I don't want anybody to follow us." Sasuke said as he forced himself to his feet. "Especially Naruto."

Tears gathered in Hisoka's eyes as she fought against them, cries for her mother starting to leave her lips. It was almost pitiful watching her fight while crying for her mother, occasionally crying out for Naruto. "Nobody's going to get you so you might as well stop." Juugo told the girl. "For your sake, however, you'd be smart to do as you're asked."

With a tear-filled glare, Hisoka looked at him before replying, "I hope you rot in hell."

Sasuke smirked slightly as he replied, "As far as I'm concerned, you stupid girl, you've just stepped foot into hell."

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

Was it terrible, Naruto wondered as he felt one of Kyuubi's tails wrap around him, that he was seeking comfort from the King of Demons? "I failed." Naruto said softly, his eyes dull.

"So why are you in here sulking? That Hokage of yours already fixed the Sharingan's effects on your brain so wake the hell up so we can fix our little fuck up!"

Naruto looked at Kyuubi, seeing that there was something within the fox demon's eyes that didn't seem to belong. Was it possible he was upset too? "So it's true then." Naruto said softly. "I knew when we couldn't feel her pulling on us anymore but…"

"They didn't kill her yet. She's more useful to them alive than otherwise." Kyuubi replied. "They know you and Hachibi's Jinchuuriki will go running to rescue her. That's when they'll make their attack."

"So what? We just leave her there?"

Over the few years he had spent actually talking to the fox demon, Naruto learned to tell when the demon was actually grinning. "Of course not, idiot boy. We show them why in the hell playing with demons is like playing with fire." Kyuubi replied simply. "If we kill your precious Sasuke in the process then so be it. It'll be more humane than what I'm certain your daughter is already planning for him."

"You think Hi-chan will really kill Sasuke?"

"No. She'll probably let the other seven Bijuu that he's more than likely pissed off have at him." Kyuubi pressed his nose to the blonde and lightly nudged him until he was standing. "Now wake up. Hachibi's Jinchuuriki's already here and he's not pleased."

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and took in his surroundings, knowing immediately that he was in the hospital. He could hear Killer Bee shouting at somebody in the hallway and smiled softly as he slowly got up. "You're loud." Naruto commented as he opened the door.

Killer Bee immediately entered the room, his eyes reflecting exactly what it was that he felt. "How in the world did this happen, man?" Killer Bee questioned. "I thought you had her protected?"

"She went to the hiding spot I showed her and I don't know what happened after that." Naruto reported. "I know she got there though. I just don't know what happened."

The blonde barely noticed when Tsunade entered the room and grunted when she shoved him back into bed. "I assume you've already realized that Hisoka's gone." Tsunade said with a small frown as she checked over the blonde.

"I'm going to get her back."

"No, you're going to let somebody else get her back. If you go, you'll be walking into their trap."

"If I don't go and she's reverted back to when I first found her, no one's gonna get her to do a damn thing."

"Do not make me put you somewhere you can't break out of."

He was tempted to tell Tsunade that he'd already been there and had managed to slip out but decided to keep his mouth shut. "She'll be fine for a while anyway." Naruto said with absolute determination. "I taught her a few things that aren't technically taught in the Academy."

"Such as?"

"You don't want to know. Believe me."

Giving him a look that said plainly she expected him to keep his ass in the village, Tsunade sighed. "There's no damage so you can leave. I'm warning you, stay in the village." Tsunade told him.

"Yes, ma'am."

Waiting until after Tsunade had left and after ensuring that nobody was listening, the two Jinchuuriki looked at each other. "Well?" Killer Bee questioned.

"If they make one attempt to kill her," Naruto told the older man, "get ready to hear about the other Bijuu suddenly appearing. I taught her to break seals."

"What? Do you know what that could mean for us? I'm not doubting which side she's on but if she ever decided to flip sides…"

Naruto sighed softly before answering, "If anybody's gonna free the others, it's gonna be her. Anybody else will get killed and you know it."

"Still. Teaching her to break seals isn't the smartest!"

"She won't flip sides. Believe it."

(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)

So this was the child that had the whole world in an uproar of excitement and fear. Madara smirked to himself as he stared at the girl, seeing that she had already picked up where the seven Bijuu were. "So you're the Kairi that's been making the Bijuu so excited. I must say I'm impressed that something so small is so powerful already." Madara forced the girl to look at him. "Tell me, can you hear them?"

"Do. Not. Touch. Me." Hisoka said as she knocked the older man's hand away from her, blue fire surrounding the girl. "My father will come and he will kick your ass."

Sasuke clenched his fist as he listened to the girl, irritated by how confident she sounded that Naruto would indeed come for her. "If he comes, he'll die." Madara said simply. "Don't worry, removing the Bijuu won't be painful and since he's an Uzumaki, he'll survive for a few minutes afterwards so you can say your goodbyes."

Gray eyes narrowed hatefully before turning towards where they knew the Bijuu were kept in the King of Hell statue. "Run! Get away from here, precious!" One of them called.

"Get out of here!"

"Run!"

The hate faded away as she listened to the numbers whisper in her mind with each desperate plea, her fingers moving softly as if stroking them in a loving manner. "You must survive! Don't let them kill you!"

Casting a glance at her captors, Hisoka calmed her rapidly beating heart. Yes, she was terrified of what they would do but there was no one to hide behind here and the Bijuu needed her to be strong. Curling her lips into a cold smile that she had seen in her nightmares, Hisoka replied smoothly, "Fuck you."

With a single slap, the world around her grew dark and she knew no more.

lostmoonchild: Okay, I couldn't resist having Hisoka swear at Sasuke or Madara since Sasuke is and possibly will forever be "Sasuke-teme" in her book. I also couldn't resist having Kyuu-chan offer comfort to Naruto or having Naruto teach his little girl how to break seals. So yeah, I'll see you guys next week! Read and review!
