Koinu sat in a dark cell, both her arms chained to either wall. Her legs were crossed beneath her body in an uncomfortable position. Her once white hair was now black with dirt and hung in messy clumps. Her body was bare, most of it bruised except her swollen stomach that held her child.
The clinking of someone's boots against the stone floor approached her cell. Her ears twitched as the pins all tumbled into place as the prison door unlocked. Shikamaru entered the room, a plate full of raw meat. Koinu raised her head her scarlet orbs beaming at the juicy meat. The boy tore it into bite size chunks and skewered them each with chopsticks. He slowly feed the pregnant demon.
"So… you've finally decided to come… after a whole cycle of the moon... I do believe that it's a full moon tonight Shikamaru." The queen spoke between chews.
"Troublesome, you believe correctly... How was Ino last you saw of her?"
"She was good, still a virgin even after nine hundred years."
"W-w-w-what?!" The boy stuttered then quickly regained himself. "What are you talking about?" His voice was low and dull.
"I know that you like Ino, the succubus is stunning even without using her gifts."
"You should learn to watch your mouth, you could really get yourself into a lot of trouble."
"I'm already in trouble, how'd you think I got here?nits not like I could be in any more trouble than I am now. Sasuke is only keeping me alive because be has a soft spot for children. You know he'll me as soon as I give birth."
"How long have you been pregnant?"
"Eight months now… Shikamaru can I make you a deal?"
"What is it?"
"When my child is born run away with them, get Ino and run as far as you can. Keep my baby out of harms way and raise it away from all this fighting… and in return I will remove the werewolf curse from you…" the boys droopy eyes suddenly widened. "I will turn you into a true wolf demon so you no longer will be an enime to the moon but a friend."
"I will do as you say, but what will Ino say?"
"Before I left a month ago I asked her that if anything happens to me someone will come get her with my child and she is to head to the mountains with them."
"I understand…"
"Come to me at midnight and I will free you of this curse."
"Thank you."
The boy stood and left the room.
Kaichii lay on the mansions couch, Temari tending to a deep wound that marred his muscular chest. Her hands delicately dabbed the bloodied wound with white balls of cotton. A phone rung and she swiftly pulled it up against her ear in a matter of seconds. She held it between her shoulder and ear and grabbed a needle and some stitching thread.
"Hello... What is it Gaara?" She pushed the needle through the boys skin and skillfully began to stitch the wound together. "I understand… Kaichii, my brother says there still has been no sign of your sister but he can still feel her power radiating from the Uchiha's base. He has managed to retreive Kiba, Akamaru and Koinu's wolves. Kiba is in bad shape but nothing too life threatening."
"Ahh, Koinu will be kept alive untill she has the baby. That's a month from now. That is when we will have to act."
"Gaara did you hear that… okay… goodbye brother."
"Well things just got slightly more interesting."
"Yeah, it started when that damned fox demon fucking lashed out at you and now I've got to clean up after him."
"You don't mind really…"
"No but this means my nights are going to be slightly less entertaining for the next few days."
Kaichii gave a husky laugh and sat up.
"Yeah, well so are mine!"
Hinata walked down the hallway carrying a tray of food. She flicked the lights on as she went although she didn't need them. A small silver scar decorated her otherwise flawless cheek, shimmering in the yellow lights. She soon reached a metal inforced door at the end of the corridor.
She typed in a quick code, scanned her eye and thumb all leading to the click opening the door. Light flooded into the room to reveal an average sized room. She closed the door behind her and walked over to a table positioned in the centre and settled down the food. She clapped and the white lights flickered on. Naruto slept in a bed in the corner.
Hinata walked over to him and gently tapped him on the shoulder.
"Naruto-kun, your food is here." The boy slowly opened his blue eyes and looked up at the angelic demon.
"Hinata-chan, why do we have to fight?"
"We don't."
"What do you mean?"
"You and I are both demons, I a vampire you a fox demon. We don't have to fight." She sat on the side of his bed. "I am fighting the humans not you."
"What happened to you Hinata-chan? You used to be so shy and always used to blush and stutter every time I spoke to you."
"I grew up Naruto. I have been alive far longer than you and yet I've never had the strength to do anything until now. The humans attempted to kill my friend and they have burned many of my family alive for being who we were born as. We've been declared as monsters, witches and I dare not say what else. I guess this war has brought the true me out..."
"Why are you so kind to me Hinata-chan?"
"Because…" her cheeks flushed a deep pink and she took a deep breath. "Because I love you Naruto. I have since I first met you." She smiled and brushed a strand of blonde hair out of his face and gently pressed her lips against the stunned boys forehead.
She stood and walked back over to the door. She opened it and turned back to Naruto. "Whichever path you chose Naruto, I will still love you..." The door closed and the light switched off leaving the blonde boy in the darkness.
Sakura lay staring up at the ceiling. She flexed her hands several times and rolled onto her stomach. The chains clinked around her ankles. She let out a long sigh as the door opened and Sasuke walked into the room. She instantly dimmed her chakra to a weaker one and made herself appear weak.
"Good morning my lady…"
"What do you want Sasuke?" Her voice was harsh and raspy.
"That's easy I want you!"
"Didn't I tell you all them years ago that I didn't want you to look at me?"
"Yes but that just makes me want to look at you more…"
"Whatever…"
Sasuke grunted and left the room in an annoyed manor, nibbling something as he went.
Sakura rolled back onto her back and sat up wiping tears from her eyes.
"I'm sorry Sasuke… but it still hurts to love you…" she whispered quietly, completely unaware of the said Uchiha standing against the door hearing every word.
Shikamaru reentered Koinu's prison as the moon hid behind the clouds. The small girl looked up a toothy grin on her dirt covered face.
"Welcome back werewolf, you ready to be cured?"
"I am"
"Good now draw back that curtain."
"What but I'll change!"
"You may be a genius but I have done this more times than you have years lived. Trust me, I know what I'm doing."
The boy did as was told and flinched as the moon rays hit his skin. Nothing happened shocking the boy.
"What?..."
"You will not change so long as I am around and do not will it. There is a reason why wolf demons are called the most royal of demons."
"What do I have to do?"
"That's the easy part. All you have to do is consume my blood fresh from the flesh. The hard part comes after when you've got to try and keep it down. And I do not lie when I say it will be excruciating and almost unbearable."
"Troublesome."
"Now bite my wrist before its turns midnight! You'll need it in your system for it to work."
Shikamaru grabbed one of her wrists and clamped his jaws shut on it. Her blood was hot and glided down his throat smoothly. He withdrew and swallowed the rest.
It seemed easy enough untill the first wave hit him. He clutched his stomach and bit his lip in attempt to keep the blood down. The second wave attacked him after twisting his gut. He bit his young keeping him from screaming out. The third wave hit him seconds later. His whole body felt as if molten lava was coursing through his veins. After a while the pain soon faded and Shikamaru collapsed on the dirt floor.
Koinu looked down at his tremoring body and tilt her head to the side, slightly impressed.
"That's the best I've seen anyone take it. For a lazy ass he sure did a lot of work to keep that down."
A smirk spread across the queens face and she let out a small bell like laugh.
Sakura woke with a start at the sound of a bell chimming in the wind. She stood and walked as fast as she could to the window and moved a few strands of her pink hair so her ear wasn't obscured.
A light knock wrapped at the door and Tenten came on soon afterwards, a man by her side.
"Sakura I have brought you lunch." Sakura turned and smiled. "What is it?"
"It's time!"
Sakura grabbed the human boy and quickly drained him of all his blood. She dropped his body and Tenten quickly sealed it away in a scroll. Sakura pinched the steel chain around her ankle and it instantly crumbled to dust.
"You ready Ten?"
"Never been more…" the bell sound occurred once more. "...What's that?"
"That is what you here when a wolf demons near by…"
"I don't get it..."
"Wolf demons voices are like bells. They hang in the air and sound beautiful. When you here a bell like that a wolf demon has either just made a kill or another wolf demon. It's a very rare occurrence."
"No kidding, wait I thought you had to be born a wolf demon." Sakura shook her head.
"Yes but no, if a werewolf consumes wolf demon blood they can become a wolf demon. The demons blood breaks the curse that is on you wolf demons."
"Really?!" Tenten suddenly sounded very happy. "Do you think they would help me?!"
"If Koinu likes you, yes. If she doesn't she'd do it anyway. She doesn't like to see others suffer."
"This demon queen of yours sounds amazing!"
"She is…"
Sakura grabbed the chains holding her to the bed and enclosed her hand around it, instantly turning it to dust. Tenten stood awestruck.
"That was cool!" Sakura smirked and looked at Tenten with questioning eyes. "What?"
"How would you feel about jumping out of the window?"
"I don't know it's like ten floors high."
"Great!" Sakura grabbed Tenten's wrist and volted through the glass, shattering it to peices. The brunette had to bite her tongue to keep herself from screaming.
Minato opened the door to Naruto's room and entered quietly. He smirked as the lights flashed on. He was suddenly punched in the gut instantly winded.
"Where's Hinata?!" Minato caught his breath and quickly turned to situation around holding the teen in a head lock.
"She's sleeping…" Naruto relaxed and Minato released him. Minato turned his back and Naruto took it as a chance to attack. He lunged to attack he older man but Minato dissapeared in a yellow flash. Naruto's fist connected with the wall.
"Ahh shit!"
"That looks like it must of hurt!" Minato chuckled from behind surprising the very alike blonde teen.
"Who are you?"
"Namikaze Minato..."
"Wait you're the fourth Hokage!"
"And you're father!"
"What?!"
Kushina entered Naruto's room a few hours later carrying a bowl of ramen. Naruto sat up instantly from the smell of his faveroite food. He turned around, suspiosion clouding his face.
"Your a evil person deguised as a beautiful woman!" Kushina blushed at first then registered what he had just said and went as red as her hair in anger.
"What did you say?!" She whacked the top of his head with her fist and dumped the ramen on the table, miraculously not spilling a drop. She cracked her knuckles and the male wolf demon cowered.
"That is no way to speak to your mother boy…" she threatened in a deathly manor. Tears suddenly flowed from Naruto's eyes and he tackled the woman into a tight hug. Anger suddenly fled from her face and a smile spread across her pink lips.
"I missed you too Naruto, I missed you too."
A slayer ran up to Sasuke a note clutched in his hand.
"Sasuke-sama! We have a problem!"
"What is it?"
"Naruto has joined the demons!"
"What?!"
"Our spies tell us that he met his parents."
"Damn!" Sasuke slammed his fists down almost breaking the wooden table.
"And that's not the worst of it..."
"What is?"
"Miss Sakura has escaped…" he was suddenly cut off by Sasuke holding him up by the neck.
"How did she escape?"
"I don't know, I heard a window shattering so I went to see what it was and she was gone. The chain had literally turned to dust." Sasuke threw the man on the floor and stormed out of the room.
Ino sat quietly on a hill beneath the stars, her hair being tasseled by the cool wind. Her breath was visible in he night air. A twig snapped behind her and her wings burst from her back as she got into a defensive position.
"Wow Ino-pig it's me! No need to try and kill me!"
"S-Sakura?"
"Who else?" The pinkette walked out of the shadows beside Tenten. A dark blur tackled Sakura to the ground and Ino no longer stood on the hill. Instead he blonde was on top of Sakura crushing the poor day walker. Ino finally took notice of Tenten.
"Whose this?"
"Neji's long lost lover…"
"Oh my goddess! You're the girl he always spoke about! Well call me a succubus and take away my powers."
"That doesn't make any sence Pig..."
"Shut it forehead!" The two girls laughed and Tenten awkwardly scratched the back of her head feeling slightly out of place until Ino grabbed her arm and pulled her into the embrace.
"We needed another girl friend! Hinata and I were running out of things to talk about."
"Well I'd be…"
"Don't say another word pinky!"
"Don't call me pinkie blondie!"
Tenten laughed quietly and wondered what she had gotten herself into.
