KZD: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or anything Naruto related.
Speech: "Normal"
"Normal/Human thinking."
"Kyuubi talking."
"Kyuubi thinking."
"Where am I?" A weak voice echoed in the darkness. "It feels familiar. My body is numb. Why can't I use it? Am I…Am I dead?" These were his thoughts as he floated down into the darkest depths of his heart.
Dull blue eyes opened gently as the blond landed softly on the platform below him. With a lethargic scan of his surroundings he noticed that half of the platform was missing and was still slowly disintegrating away into nothingness. He knew where he was. Far away from the warm light he had been sleeping in.
"I'm back in by own body. But how?"
"Does that honestly matter?" The boy slowly turned with almost no energy in his body. He looked up for a few seconds before a small growl brought his vision lower to spot a two tailed fox sitting with its tails moving back and forth in mild annoyance.
"How did you get here?"
"I've had some minor help in getting to your heart. What about you? Why are you broken?" The fox had to be gentle with his words or his efforts would be in vain.
"I had to save my friends from myself. From the dark half of me so that the X-blade couldn't be forged." The animals eyes widen.
"The X-blade? I haven't heard of that in millennia."
"To protect them I had to destroy the dark half of me. But there was a price I had to pay for doing so." The boy put a hand over his chest and the fox nodded in understanding the child's circumstances.
This boy, this brat reminded him so much of Naruto. Not only in the looks department but also by the way he acted. He would do anything for the ones held dear. Even killing himself for their sake.
"The last thing I remember is falling into a warm light then I'm back in my own body."
"What is you name Kit?"
"Its Ventus."
"Ventus, I am the Kyuubi. A demon with a fate similar to yours."
"A demon?" There was a minor spark of curiosity in his lifeless eyes but quickly faded.
"I'm guessing you never met one before then. Like you I can't move but not because my heart is broken but because I have no body to move with. And if I even tried I would die."
The small demon walked up to Ven who knelled down so that he was semi-eye level with the tailed beast. Even if he couldn't tell his own emotions at the moment he can clearly see the fox's own through those crimson red eyes. Ven could see the demons hate and malice. He also can see his pain.
He reached out a hand and patted the animal on the head. The fox wanted nothing more then to bite the boys hand off. He even growled a small warning before the threat went away. He had to control his instincts if he wanted a chance in controlling the boys body. So he let himself be petted despite his demising pride.
"What happened to you then if you don't have a body?" He stopped ruffling Kyuubi's fur. The fox let out a small whine when he did. Realizing the small noise that he made, the demons body stiffened. He wasn't a pet and never will be one.
"It's a long story. On the world I was residing people seal demons away into humans to gain power beyond imagination. Normally when demon his sealed its heart, soul and body are put into their new jailor. But me I'm a special case."
Ventus tilted his head to the side. The nine tailed bijuu flattened one ear to the side. Was the brat really interested in his story? And why was he finding himself telling the truth about is past.
"About sixteen years ago, I attacked a village under the control by a man under the alias Madara Uchiha. I never meant to attack but even after his spell over me suddenly broke, I was already in such a bloodlust that I couldn't control myself. The leader of the village, the Hokage, gave his life to seal me away into his new born son."
"I still don't see how your case is different."
"Be patient. I'm getting there." His tails twitched in annoyance. He hated being interrupted.
"The Hokage sealed half of my power and soul in himself and that now lives in the belly of the Reaper himself. The other half was put into the child and upon sealing my body was destroyed. The only reason I lived was because the boys body acted like a catalyst for my power and it attached itself to him."
Ven had a vacant smile as the fox finished his summarized story about him losing his body but he still wondered what happened to the boy that the demon was supposed to be sealed in. Kyuubi saw this and let out a sigh he disliked telling this part so he decided to make it quick.
"For the reason that I am here is that, the man who controlled me all those years back destroyed the world I was on and at the last second my container set me free out of the kindness in his heart despite the torment I had always caused him while he grew up. I was happy that I was free but…" The demon brought his paw like hand up to his face and flexed it, "It was only a matter of time before I faded away."
Ven felt sorry for the demon. No wonder he had so much hate in him.
"You must have had some help in getting here."
"Your friend Aqua helped me." At hearing his best friends name his eyes lit up with some life.
"Aqua's with you! Is Terra with her?" His monotone voice now had a few new notches added to its pitch. The demon shook his head. Still the boy smiled.
"That's all right. As long as I now Aqua's fine, I now Terra is also somewhere out there and doing fine to."
Kyuubi made a correction. This boy was every bit like Naruto. Hell he even found it down right ironic that he was even considering possessing him.
"Kit, I have a proposition for you." Ven's face became serious and any trace of previous life left once more.
"In a way we are both dying. Without your darkness your heart is unstable and will soon collapse on itself. And without a host, I'm doomed to fade away into nothingness. Do you wish to be able to be with you friends once more."
"More then anything. I hate not being able to do anything while they stand back and suffer."
"And I wish to be free." Kyuubi extended his furred hand out to Ven, "Join your heart with mine and together we can be rid of our suffering."
The blond haired boy was hesitant. This was a demon after all. Even though he's never met one before, he remember Master Eraqus talked about them in one of his lessons and to not trust them.
But somehow when the demon spoke, Ven could pick up some sort of sadness in its voice. And he believed his story. If the fox truly meant that he was being controlled it wasn't his fault that he attacked people. He wanted to give the fox another chance. Maybe not all demons are bad like his master had warned.
"What will happen when our hearts join?" Kyuubi inwardly smirked wickedly. He had Ventus exactly where he wanted him. He stayed calm despite his maniacal excitement.
"Minor changes to start off. Your body structure will change to accommodate me being a part of you. But there is only about half a chance that you will survive the transformation process."
Ven's dull eyes widen. Was there really a chance that he wouldn't even survive holding a demon inside of him? Kyuubi saw his smiled slightly revealing his sharp fangs at the boy.
"There is no reason to worry. As long as there is no hatred in you that my power may try to abuse then there shouldn't be any problems."
There was no hate in him. Ven was sure of it. All feelings of hate or any other negative emotions faded away from him the moment he defeated his darkness. When Vanitas disappeared from his life.
Lifeless blue eyes stared down at the small demon. The fox shivered. It was like talking to a zombie, which he knew from his experience weren't very fun to talk to. Ven knew the Kyuubi was withdrawing some information.
"And who will be in control." Caught. That's all that the fox could think about. That he was caught red handed. There was no way he will be able to posses the boy now.
"You are a broken, Kit. Your will is not strong enough to go on by yourself. If the merge is a success then I am the one who will be in control of your body."
That was what Ven was afraid of. But did he have much of a choice? To stay here alone and die soon, or let a demon take a control of his body so that they could both be free. He didn't now what to do or think. The bijuu king saw the blonds apprehensiveness and gave one more final push to try and seal the deal.
"I am a honor bound Kitsune and I'm always true to my word on any deal I strike with humans or any creature. If you allow me to take over, I will try to protect your friends. Also when I return to my true home in Hell, I will have a new body created for me so that you may keep yours and there I can personal fix your broken heart."
What other choice does he has? He wanted nothing more then to see his friends again. It would have to wait a while, but at least now he won't be dead weight. Literally.
The moment he grasped the demons inviting hand his whole body felt like it was on fire. And as he fell over screaming in pain as his bones cracked and relined themselves, he saw the foxes wicked grin as he tried to give the little monster a pleading look.
"I said your body will transform, I didn't say it would be painless." He laughed in the blond keybearer face.
Ven let out another scream as blood dripped from his lips and on to his mural platform. The ground they were on stated to glow with the demons dangerous red aura and the crumbling part of the arena stated to fix itself. The demons grin only grew wider. He didn't what was better. The boy in pure pain or that his plan of possessing him was working.
Everything became silent when the mural became complete and the demons chakra dissipated. Instead of just Ven painted curled up and grasping his keyblade, the nine tailed fox was now scrunched up in the opposite direction appearing asleep almost both like yin and yang.
Ven let out one final gasp as the changes finished. The torment from it all was to much as he fell unconscious. Before his eyes shut he could see the small demon walk up to him.
"Don't worry I'll take good care of you precious friends." His voice spat venomously with as much sarcasm he could muster.
Aqua couldn't believe her eyes. This person in front of her with contempt was Ven but also wasn't. He looked more mature like some one in their early twenties. Tall and muscular, but not to the degree she remembered Terra to be, the only thing that she recognize on her old friend was his face. And even then his spiky windswept hair seemed more unrulier the usual and his cheeks were scared by three prominent claw marks on each. It was the Vanitas incident all over again.
She wanted to reach out her hand, whether it was to make sure he was real or slap the demonic man she didn't know. He left her alone to quick for her to even try. All she could do was watch as he stalked away to the confused armor that took up its fighting stance against its new opponent. The new Ven smirked evilly showing off his fangs while cracking his knuckles.
"Lets see how this new body fairs." He sneered. It was deeper then it once was. Twisted with two different ones even.
The armors keyblade disappeared and in replacement for transparent swords floated by its side. The blond raised a brow when it jumped into the air and forced the blades into the ground causing four pillars of fire to erupt from them.
"Of all spell to use on be, fire?" He laughed and walked towards the flames that were hurdling to him. "How pathetic."
The flames devoured the demonic man in an instant. As quick as it appeared to incinerate him, the blond snapped his fingers and the flames disappeared at his command. In his palms, dark flames combusted alive flickering with a will of its own.
Eyes gleaming, they examined the armor for any weak points. With a quick flick of the rest, he shot one of the living flames at his enemy. As it moved the flame twisted into a shape of a small four legged animal that ran around the armor.
I snarled at the armor as I ran around in a circled disorientating the armor before lashing out at it. The flame animal exploded against a circler shield of light that the metal being had summoned at the last second. The smoke from the explosion obscured its field of vision.
When the black smog cleared the blond suddenly appeared with his left hand still aflame and extended outward to his enemy. The armor tried to move back but its helm was captured by the flaming clawed hand. It slashed down on the helmet and explosion occurred sending the opponent back several feet.
The demon man sneered as he saw the armor recover mid air and laded rather roughly on its feet.
"Damn! That should have ripped him in two." He thought bitterly. Everything still felt stiff to him. Just moving his fingers back and forth took a considerable amount of concentration.
His crimson eyes widen as the Sentiment appeared beside him keyblade drawn. He raised his arm up to block the first impact only for the armor to fake it and it stabbed for the mans stomach. He narrowly avoided the possible rib breaking attack by back flipping out of the way only for it to cut a hole into his skin tight clothes.
He landed on all fours like an animal and stated to run that way as he avoided orbs of light that were being fired at him in rapid secessions. He leaped and ran avoiding each orb just by the skin of his teeth. Eventual he landed in front of the starting to stir Riku.
"Oi Brat, you may want to move." He sneered down at the boy. The silveret took his helmet piece off to get a better look at the being before him and raised a brow as he saw the familiar wind swept air.
"Roxas?" He never got and answer as the being jumped high above to avoid another light spell. "Shit!" Riku set up a dark shield only for it to shatter in his weakened state. The attacked had caused him to skid back a few feet near the edge of the world with his armor smoking from the impact. He grunted in pain as the light burned at his flesh despite the armor protecting him. Even if he did walk on the road to dawn there was still a lot of darkness in him that was easily affected by the light.
"Riku quick over here!" Aqua had to use her keyblade as support to stand up. Even with her wounds all closed up it still felt like they were still there biting at her skin and driving a dagger into her back. Riku did hesitate to try and make it to the blue haired women's side in a slow limp to get as far away as possible from the two fighters.
"Do you really think you can harm me?" The blond decided to take one of the blast full force with only his arms shielding him. The jacket he was wearing was practically burned off and his trousers had multiple rips and holes in it. Blood ran and trickled down his head and the length of his arms were he was hit.
He wasn't bothered by his wounds. In fact he happily tolerated them. Steamed rolled of from his injuries and they stated to seal shut in a mater of seconds only leaving the charred and dried remains of his blood staining his tanned skin.
He stated to laugh manically. He had to thank the stupid armor set for getting rid of those retched fabrics. They were part of the reason why he felt so constricted. There was still some stiffness but that would disappear in time.
He kicked off his metal shoes that were choking his feet. He let out a sigh of relief as his clawed feet rake the gravel beneath them.
"Much better." He got back on all four and scratched at the ground. He opened his mouth and the sinister red aura stated to seep out of it. The chakra circled the animalistic mans body as he only grinned. It bubbled and formed until it incased his body like a cloak and a single transparent tail wiggled behind him.
His eyes became wide as covered his mouth and coughed. Small droplets dripped slowly from his black lips. He grimaced as he struggling to get back in his fighting position.
"Is even one tail to much for this body?" He focused on himself for to long and didn't noticed the chains of light hurdling to him. The chains entangled themselves around his limbs and neck. All of it just seemed a little to familiar to him.
The armor reeled him in closer to him and stated to charge its keyblade. Crimson eyes narrowed at the glowing blade and he growled.
"Do not underestimate me!" The blond was able to free one of his hands and grab the chains that were wrapped around his body. With sheer force he was able to rip the spell of him and momentarily stagger the armor and cancel out its next move.
He rammed full force into the armor causing to fly into the castle wall. He didn't stop there. The animalistic man dashed to the living object at a speed that made it seemed that he teleported to it.
With all of his might he slammed his fist repeatedly into the Sentiments metal body. Each blow faster then the last. The suit of the armor stated to crack from the blows. He stopped for a second only to grave it by the its helm once more and slam it on the ground.
He couldn't stop any longer. All the man beast saw now was red. He pounced on the defeated armor and continued his assault. The bloody aura around his body stated to boil violently, growing a second tail, and with each strike his hands became raw and damaged but they healed as fast as they could be cut.
With a monster roar he stood up over the broken Sentiment and brought both of his bloodied hands close together. The aura around him stated to concentrate to the center of his palms.
"What the hell is he doing." Riku whispered slowly. He was awestruck by the immense strength and power that radiated off demonic. Aqua on the other hand was disturbed by her former friends animalistic antics. She knew very well that Ven wasn't in control. She even noticed a certain red charm that was dangling precariously around his neck.
"What are you planning Kyuubi?" The demon had already beaten her Masters armor senseless, what else could he possibly want or do.
A bead of sweat went down her forehead as she watched the black mass form in his hands. It looked completely unstable and the demon mans body was beginning to tremble.
The black energy ball began to crack and the demons eyes widen in fear as he tried to let go of it. The self made bomb erupted in his hands. The radius of the blast increased and stated to consume most of the field.
The two present keybearers didn't waste time in summoning their gliders to escape the range of the blast. High above the linear world, the explosion had devoured all of the small fighting space that they had and part of Castle Oblivion.
"Wait, is Sora's still down?" The two looked at each other before the realization that their friend was still down below hit them.
"Crap."
"How the hell am I going to explain this to the others back on Destiny Island?" Riku yelled in a panic.
"Don't worry. I'm sure he's fine. With what you told me about your adventures and what you both have been through, that blast should be nothing." Aqua nervously laughed.
When the destruction ceased they both quickly flew back down to the demolished surface of the world. Almost half of the castle itself was missing and the other half was having trouble keeping stable with its support beams starting to crumble. A large crater took up most of the worlds surface. It steamed from the heat of the explosion. There was no signs of life. Only the Master Keeper was present, sticking up right in the center of the hole.
"Sora!" Riku called out for his friend and went into the exposed interior of the castle to look for him.
Aqua didn't understand what had just happened. There was no sigh of her Masters armor or Ven's body. Could they have both been vaporized from the energy bomb? She shook her head. The Sentiment had been defeated when Ven stated to punch through its metal. And if Kyuubi was in full control of her friends body, there was no way he would have lost it in an explosion that easily.
Some grumbling was heard and the two teen boy immerged from the rumble. Sora's hand was slung around Riku's shoulder for support while the other held his stomach in pain. His face was pale and twisted in fear as he looked around quickly like a small rabbit looking out for any predators.
"Have any of you two seen Ventus?" He asked timidly. He stated to feel better when Aqua cast a cure spell on him so he was able to stand on his own.
"Who do you think did this?" The silveret said with a deep sarcasm.
"I was kind of hoping the armor did." He looked up at Aqua, " He threatened to gut me like a fish if I interfered with the fight then he knocked me out."
"So you weren't napping on the floor."
"Hey, knock it of Riku."
"Sora, you have to tell me exactly what happened in the chamber."
"Well," he scratched the back of his head, "I was able to give Ven his heart back but nothing happened. Then your charm stated to talk to me and-"
"Hold on a second. When did you get my wayfinder?"
"You sort of dropped it when you were fighting and I was going o hand it back to you when it was over. The thing just stated talking and said it was Ven's light half and to put him around his neck. Next thing I knew he woke up screaming in pain before he started to threaten me and ran out."
"Kyuubi." She said with roughly under her breath. The demon lived up to his species of being a conniving trickster.
"Kyuubi? Isn't that a name of one of the fur balls Yen Sid warned us about?" Aqua cringed at his question. She should have seen this coming. They were going to have to find out about her hoarding a demon sooner or later.
Riku glared at how the blue haired women was acting and pulled out his keyblade and pointed it at her. He didn't want to believe Zexion warning about her, but now he was beyond suspicious.
"What the hell is going on here? Talk!"
"Hey calm down!"
"Drop your weapon. Or do you wish for me to break your arm, foolish brat." Riku grunted as his arm was twisted behind head. He could feel his tendons screaming for mercy as they stretched to their near limits.
"Kyuubi let go of him!" The demon looked at the vixen in front of him, his crimson eyes bearing into her ocean blue ones. He softy growled before averting his gaze. He couldn't believe that he allowed himself to lose a simple eye dominance battle.
He let go of the silver teens arms while pushing him to the ground to make sure he didn't pose a threat. He walked over him and walked up to Aqua. She twitched nervously as he approached her.
When did Ven become taller then her by another head? The closer he got the more changes she saw on her proceeded friend walked up to her. He looked complete feral. Sharp claws and fangs that poked out slightly from his black lips, and the claw marks on his face made him seem like the perfect predator. His ears were also pointed and had a small tuff of red fur at the tip of them.
"Are you all right Vixen?" His voice was low and gruff still slightly twisted between two but it seemed to fit somehow with his new physic.
"Uh-Yeah." She was flustered as her face became beat red. How long had she been starring at her friends transformed body.
"Good. I'll be leaving then." He walked pass her without a second thought. Their agreement was done. There was nothing connecting them anymore. At least to him. He growled when he felt iron clasped around his wrist
"What now?" He bared his fangs at Aqua.
"Where do you think you're going? We have a deal!" His eyes narrowed down at her.
"The deal has been completed. I was supposed to help you look for your friend and in return you'd supply me with a new body. This Ven of yours, your friend was found. And In return I received a body." He pointed his clawed thumb at himself, "Now that your precious Ven walks our deal is now null and void."
The demon jerked his new hand back away from her. Yen Sid had been right about verbal contracts with a demon. How easily they can be broken. Every thing that they had done so far was exactly what they had promised each other and now there were no more further obligations that the fox had with her.
He stated to walk away once more before stopping. His hand started to glow with his chakra and he slashed at the air. It was like he was tearing through paper. He had cut open the stale air in front of him a dark red mass appeared in front of him.
"If none of you have anything better to say to me, I'll be leaving for Hell."
Aqua had to think of something or she would never be able to see Ven ever again if Kyuubi stepped through that portal of evil. Verbal contracts are easily broken but not blood ones.
"Kyuubi wait! We're not done yet." The blond fox stopped himself just before entering the portal.
"Aqua what are you doing? Just let the nice demon leave." Sora said shakily. The nine tailed bijuu had already installed some sort of fear in him.
"Is that so, huh?" The menacing portal disappeared in puff of smoke. He himself suddenly disappeared then reappeared right before the female keyblade master. His nearly nude body was very close to her still armored one. He leaned in closed to her face that was helmet less. He smirked as she stepped back to get some distance between them. He guessed playing with the little vixen for a while longer would be fun.
"What exactly did you have in mind?"
"You still have to help me get Terra back."
"The darkling? Are you sure you would want someone like him back in your life. Someone who had blindly betrayed your trust for power." The smirk on his face disappeared when he saw the determination in her eyes and it turned into a frown.
"I may not know what exactly happened to Terra but I still believe he's still out there fighting."
"And what do I get in return for helping you? I already have your friends body for myself. What could you possibly offer? I don't need something as trivial as a keyblade as you can see from my might."
He grinned as her confidence began to wane. What could she offer to him as payment? He already has everything. Power, status, and her friends body, something the keybearer couldn't let the Kyuubi get away with. There was nothing she could offer the demon in return. But there's one thing she could relinquish over to him. Aqua gulped at the thought of it.
"What if I were to offer my soul in return?" The bijuu king was surprised by her offer but not to the extent that the two boys were. He laughed darkly.
"Wait, Aqua! We can talk about this. We don't need him to find Terra." Sora reached out to pull the female away from the kitsune. He received a nasty shock and was pushed back in return. The fox wasn't going to let this interesting opportunity slip by and put up a barrier.
"What you have suggested requires a blood contract." He snapped his fingers and an oversized scroll appeared next to him. He placed it down on the ground and kicked it to unravel it.
"This is the Master Servant Contract. Read it, learn it, tell me if there is anything you don't understand or want to make any changes. I can be flexible."
Aqua read the fine print thoroughly, if not a few time. Most of it was straight forward. But it was also very detailed, there were no for seeable loopholes. Then again the fox has most likely done this more then once before and wanted no loose ends.
"Is this all?"
"Yes. The contract states that I will be bounded to you as your servant to obey and protect until the end. We are also suppose to take care of any of each others needs. When the contract is complete the roles will reverse and you will return to Hell with me to serve me. All you have to do is sign your name in blood."
She sighed and dismissed her armor. She removed one of the gloves from her hand and called Stormfall to the other. The women winced as she made a quick incision in her palm. Kyuubi's eyes gleamed as he saw the crimson liquid start to flow and smudge in her hand.
With a good amount, Aqua traced the tip of her digit against the paper next to overly large X. Writing her signature, she pressed her hand next to it leaving her identification on it.
She grimace as the demon laughed lowly at her. When his job is done he will forever own her soul. Aqua looked away so that she couldn't see the demons face only to snap back up at him from a choking sound.
"Son of bitch!" Kyuubi coughed holding his neck, "I forgot about the fucking collar." The scroll rolled up by itself and burned into smoke that rapped itself around the demon mans jugular. He choked as it squeezed and solidified around his throat. When it materialized it was a jet-black spiked collar that was tightly rapped around it. He struggled to loosen it but he couldn't even fit a claw to do so.
Struggling with his new accessory, the possessed Ven loosed focus of the force field that he put and the brunet that was charging at him with keyblade in hand.
The monsters eyes snapped open at the last second to see the blade just an inch from his face. He snapped his hand that was around his neck and grabbed the Kingdom Key by the shaft. Sora looked up at the quick acting monster and felt his body become paralyzed as red eyes leered down at him.
"You've outlive your usefulness ." He lift his free hand high above their heads. He slashed it down intended to cut the teen in half. He grunted as a hilt was driven into his abdomen pushing him away from Sora.
"You alright?" Riku landed next to his friend who nodded in response. His left arm right arm dangling. The fox didn't brake his arm but succeeded in dislocating it.
"Foolish mortals. Now you both shall die" He roared. He felt his heart clench as he tried to flare up his power. Kyuubi stated to breath heavily as his vision shifted. The demon fox was using to much of his own power on his new body that was still adjusting to it. He would have to make this quick. The three charged at each other with the intent to kill.
"Enough." An electric field circled the three fighters and halted their movements. Kyuubi immediately stated to struggle trying to step forward. He hated being restricted. He looked over to Aqua and saw how the magic was coming from her bleeding palm.
"Damn it, let me go!"
"I'm not letting anyone go until you all calm down." She kept the bind spell up as Kyuubi looked between him and the other keybearers. Sora dismissed the Kingdom Key while Riku continued to glare at the kitsune. With one final growl he reliantly looked away from the boy and relaxed his body and Riku let his keyblade disappear.
The simple spell that restricted faded and Kyuubi plopped himself on the ground and brought his kneed up to his face like a stubborn child as he watched the mortals.
"That's better. I'm guessing you two what to know where exactly he suddenly came from." Aqua told how she and the bijuu king meet in the realm of darkness and his situation to the recent agreement of their contract.
"The reason why I signed over my soul is because I can't let him take Ven's body." From behind the demon laughed.
"Do you honestly think you can ever free Ven from my will?"
"Be quiet."
"If that is what you wish, my Master. But has it ever crossed your mind that there may be a possible chance that Ven willingly gave up his body just so he could be of use?" That ever knowing gin sprouted and she hated it. Not the smile, but the way the fox always seemed to be two steps ahead of her.
"As long as he's still in there I'll find a way to free him from you even at the cost of my soul." Kyuubi just continued to smirk at her. If only she knew.
"I am not traveling with that thing." Riku announced. Sora was attempting to put the silver haired teens arm back into its socket. He gave a strong shove and Riku stifled a yelp as he was put back together.
"What's wrong? Afraid that I'll eat you?" The teen tried to get up but stumbled from exhaustion.
"I hate to admit it Aqua, but I think Riku's right. Its probably best if we split up so that no one becomes a victim of," his voice as he watched the fox man staring back at him and gulped, "friendly fire."
Aqua watched as Riku and Kyuubi were struggling not to try and kill each other. She let out a sigh and walked over to the sitting demon.
"Your right. It's for the best." She looked down at the fox stayed in his position. The way he was acting like a child did remind her of Ven when ever he couldn't master a new technique after awhile. Maybe her friend shad some influence over the demons mind set.
"Hey don't you have anything to say before we separate." Kyuubi ignored his new master. His full attention was on the small droplets of blood that fell from her hand to the white covered ground. His breathing stated to become ragged as he watched the liquid flow and stated to loose focus of his surroundings.
"Kyuubi!"
"What!" His head snapped up at her and tilted his head to the side. He huffed before standing back up.
"Fine then. If you two are going on your own then you need to watch out for any other demons on your journey. They aren't that hard to tell apart from others if you now what to look for. And for the record not all demons are bad some just don't want you interfering with their day to day lives."
"If you so happen to run into one of my Bijuu brethren, I cant exactly say how they'll react to you but I can guarantee that we all share a mutual hate for the Uchiha. So they may help you in that regard. But don't expect it."
Sora helped get Riku back on his feet before activating the switch on his armor. He moved to summon his rider and his friend did the same after. The silver haired teen just wanted to get away from the demon as fast and far away as possible.
"One more thing. The Uchiha is mine to kill and no one else. Do I make myself clear? I you see him tell me as it seems I am now obligated to help. But if you do have to fight him, don't let him touch you or you're done." Whether or not they heard the fox was questionable as the two left with a small wave and a flash on their gliders.
Kyuubi watched as they left with a small smirk. He wasn't at full power and he was already starting to plant his fear into others. He turned around to see his new master with her arms crossed staring daggers into his head.
"Are you going to antagonize everyone you meet?"
"Hey the little bastard stated this war by calling me fur ball. Like in my nine tails of hell am I going to take that."
The two stood in silence for a while. They were studying each other in away. Trying to figure out what to do with each other.
"We better get going as well. This place is starting to depress me."
"Hold it there's something wrong with you." Kyuubi looked at Aqua curiously. He couldn't see his obvious problem and tilted his head to the side.
"You're practically naked."
"I'm wearing pants."
"That look like they're going to fall of at any moment." They were extremely charred and it was by some miracle that they haven't fallen apart yet.
"What's wrong? Don't like what you see?" He slung an arm around the females shoulder and brought his face closer to hers.
Aqua could feel the heat rush to her face as she stared at her possessed friend. It took all of her willpower to not look down at his transformed body. She pinched the bridge of her nose with her good hand and closed her eyes to not look at the demon.
"No, its just that I don't like seeing a demon prancing around in my best friends body"
"Fine." He let go much to her relief.
"We might be able to find something for you in the castle."
"Are you sure about that?" He looked up at the half destroyed building and let out a small laugh. "Not likely."
"Just give me a moment and you'll see." Aqua dropped down into the creator where the Masters Keeper is. Just before she could touch it the blade stated to glow brightly and the brightness stated to devour the small sliver of the hollow world.
It quickly faded and only a black haze remained. Squinting his red slits, Kyuubi could see hills in the distance and many misplaced boulders sticking out of broken pieces of the different ground.
Rusted gold chains laid lazily on the ground and connected to fallen pillars. All of them appeared to be connected to the main building that was struggling to stay afloat. Windows were shattered and it looked like it was about to fall over the mountain it was preached on. But it looked more complete then the other castle had been.
Aqua let out a sigh as her masters keyblade disappeared and she was left with the reminder of the current status of her world.
"Did we just teleport?"
"No. This is what my world really looks like. The Land of Departure." The demon grimaced at the sight of the place. He was sure that this isn't how the world was actually to look like. The sent of darkness was everywhere and it gave him an eerie feeling down his spine. This place felt haunted and it made his body twitch.
"Come on lets get you dressed. I don't think Terra or Vens rooms were ruined from the darkness so we might be able to find you something. " Aqua grabbed the semi-nude demon by his wrist and lead him to the innards of her broken home.
Stunned by the sudden action the Kyuubi had no time to argue before he was dragged inside.
Black buildings glowed with neon lights as the hard rain splashed on the dark streets the only thing to make a sound. Truly nothing exited. Not even the world itself that the silent city was found on. A white floating castle stuck out like a sore thumb from all the black and dreariness of the city.
In the interior of the levitating palace was a man wearing an orange spiral mask and a black cloak with red clouds was looking at a projection that a green skinned witch had conjured for him. Beside him was a figure that wore a black coat with his hood up and arms behind his back.
The masked man squinted his one visible red eye at the image as he stared at a windswept haired blond that was being dragged by a blue haired female.
"I finally found you, Kyuubi." The man's grin was hidden by his mask.
KZD: And another chapter out of the way.
Aqua: Get out of Ven's body!
Kyuubi: What if I don't want to.
KZD: Ugh. Anyways guys remember to R&R. I'm going to be taking a small break to watch a few disney movies to get a better idea at what I'm doing with this story. Again if you have any suggestions on worlds go ahead and say a few you would like to possibly see. Don't be shy. Also you saw Kyuubi regain another one of his tails. They will slowly regenerate over time. As for the next chapter, it will be mostly filler except for the end. When it actully comes out though I don't even know. See you next time.
Kyuubi: Forgetting something.
KZD: Thats right for a quick drawing of KyuVentus go on my profile and there will be a link.
