Fox: Hello, haha, creativity has struck me. I regret putting you all through the waiting and what not. Well, this may not be the best chapter ever but hey, I finished the story. It bugged me so I decided to complete it. I wanna thank all of you who read, supported, reviewed, favorited, and alerted. It made me very happy. So, I hope you enjoy the last chapter of 'In the Fangs of the Devil'.

(Takahiro's pov)

I stood my ground as the gate swung open. Lighting and snow came roaring out. I felt a wide smirk spread across my face. A large white fox came through. Her eyes were blazing dark blue, fangs bared. "Takahiro, you bastard!!" She bellowed as her feet came crashing down to the earth. "Now, is that anyway to talk to your father?!" I ran at her. My claws ecstatic with electricity. When I took over this body I gained Reizu's powers. Now I can use ice and lighting. How fun!

I jumped up and punched her in the jaw. It made a sicking crack as it snapped. She fell to the ground with a low howl. "Haha, you know, that form reminds of your mother's." I cracked my fingers. "You two have many things in common. Like, your elegance and beauty. Above all," I sneered. "You always get in my way!!" I punched the snowy floor. Electricity coursed through the frozen liquid. Yukiko's eyes snapped open. Hopping to her feet quickly, she lept from the danger. "Damn..." I muttered.

She cracked her jaw back into place and reared up. With a great force, she slammed her paws down. Ice shards sprouted from snowy floor. I jumped zig zag to dodge effectively. Yuki stood silently watching a match that end shortly. Smirking, I clapped my hands together. Blue lighting chirped as I held in it my hand. I ran straight for Yukiko. Sliding through the ice, my ball of static tore through the ground. As one piece of ice fell I jumped off the tip. Putting my lightning before me I yelled,

"Say hello to your mother in hell!!"

____________________________________________________________________________________

Her ice colored eyes grew wide. The lighting dancing in the dark pools. I made a mistake...I should have never returned...The demon closed her eyes in defeat. How foolish she was thinking she could actually defeat the man she's suppose to call father. Her life raced before her mind. Her mother trying to hold onto her sanity. Katio drying her tears. Father killing everyone. Konoha where she was made a ninja. Orochi her first born and first to lose. Reclaiming her throne. Meeting old friends again. Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and...

"Yukiko!"

Her eyes snapped open. Takahiro was laying on the snow with kunaiknives in his side. She looked to see Sasuke standing there. But there was something different yet so familiar. His aura was more evil and demanding. And his eyes...His beautiful gold eyes.

"Yukiko, don't stand there like a coward. Otherwise you'll force me to kill you." He hissed.

Her then discerned him right at away. The way he talked, stood, his aura, and presence. It was all him.

"Orochimaru, why are you here?" Her cracked voice managed to ask. His gold eyes narrowed. Drawing a black kanata, he approached. He then stood before the white fox with such determination in his greedy eyes. He placed his hand on Yukiko's nose and said, "I'm here to protect the one who loved me for what I am."

At that moment his words and touch made the ice crumble in the giant fox's heart. In a blur of snow, Yukiko stood with tears streaming down her pale face. "Baka...!" she spat. He chuckled and grinned. It was odd to see Sasuke's body but not his soul. The image was Sasuke but Orochimaru lurked within. "You always have to save me...I feel horrible about it." she tried to grin and bear it. Though having to be saved nearly every battle made her aggravated. Orochimaru just smiled. "Yukiko, I'm not saying you're weak. Well, compared to me with Ninjutsu you're weak." he couldn't help but scoff. Yukiko growled at him. Yeah, she loved the man but saying she's weak was much.

"Yukiko, move!!!" Yuki screamed.

Takahiro had ripped the kunaiout and was charging at them. Blood was gushing from his side. He once again held lighting in his hand. "I don't know who this brat is but, he's going to die along side you!" Orochimaru stepped in front of Yukiko. "W-wait, what are you...?" he looked back at her. "The move your father is using, Chidori isn't it?" Yukiko blinked. Chidori? What was that? "Get out of the way! You'll get hurt!" Yukiko pleaded. He shook his head. "I'll be fine." his gaze turned crimson. The Sharingan was set ablaze. "I have Sharingan now. Nothing will get past these eyes." he stated. Yukiko felt no different. She knew the consequences with the Sharingan. It was big price for something inferoir. As a child Yukiko met Yuki's father. He was a great and proud Uchiha. But in his middle years, he lost his sight to the Black Flames. The Holy Fire of Amatersu.

Takahiro nearly landed the attack but Orochimaru deflected it. Sending Takahiro into the air. With a proud smirk, Orochimaru ran after him. Yukiko watched as the two clashed. Takahiro now went with Ice based attacks. Orochimaru did some of his original Jutsu. Earth and Wind. Earth made a awesome offence but Wind against Ice made no avail.

Yuki Okami rushed to Yukikoand stood by her side. "Yukiko-chan, that's your lover isn't it?" Yukiko nodded gravely. "Yes, he is." she bowed her head and muttered a prayer. She hoped this would be enough for Takahiro to die. Orochimaru was almost invincible but Takahiro was a older, wiser, and a much stronger demon. "I hope Takahiro gets what he deserves." Yuki growled through gritted teeth. She dug her claws into her palm so hard, it drew blood. Yukiko gazed as it dripped to the snow. Snow was so pretty when stained red...

______________________________________________________________________________

The two men went on for what seemed hours. Justu after Jutsu, Spell after Spell, on and on it went. Orochimaru stood tingling. He used up far too much chakra. Takahiro also seemed to show he was worn out. Both their breath ragged, this was decided to be the last move before check mate. Orochimaru focused on his chakra and opened his eyes. Ruby glowed with determination and raw power as the Tsukuyomi was activated. "Amatersu!"

His eyes widened as the Black Flames engulfed Takahiro. The demon gave a howl and fell to the ground. Sweat began to form on his forehead. Tsukuyomi was a tole on him. Falling to his knees, Orochimaru de-activated the Sharingan.

Yukiko bit her lip and ran to him. She carefully approached him. Placing a hand on his shoulder, Orochimaru tensed up. Yukiko kneeled to his level. Gasping, she called for Yuki. The Wolf ran to their side. Yuki lowered her gaze. It has already begun. Since Orochimaru is really not a true heir of Uchiha then the curse began earlier. Crimson ran down from his eyes as if he were crying. Yukiko gently took him into her arms and wiped away the blood. "Yukiko, I'm exhausted..." he panted out. Yukiko nodded, fighting back her tears.

"Orochimaru, I advise you not to use the Sharingan much. It will eat away at your eye sight. If you wish to protect Yukiko, then please, bare in mind my warning." Yuki told him.

He just laughed a bit. "I finally obtained what would help in reaching my goals and it tries to destroy me. Heh, that shouldn't shock me." he rested his head on Yukiko's shoulder. "Are you alright?" Orochimaru felt droplets hit his pale face. Looking up, he saw Yukiko crying. "Hehehe, Yukiko, my dear, you cry far too much." he kissed her quickly and went back to rest. "I know..." she pat his hair down. "You know, it looks like you have a dead duck on top of your head." she giggled. Orochimaru just grinned and shut his eyes again. Everything seemed like it should....

(Yukiko's pov)

I smiled as he soon fell asleep. I found interesting that he fell asleep. He never did that in front of other people. Not even me. I looked at the mase of Black Flames that buried my father. I felt confused. He's dead so, why won't this feeling die with him? I pushed my feeling away and continued to watch over Orochimaru. I always like how he slept. It reminded me of how he used to be. Innocent and sane. I brushed some wild hair away from his pale face. His normal features had began to take over Sasuke's.

Yuki stood and walked over to the burning corpse. Her white ears laid back, she spat on the fire. I knew she despised him. After all, Takahirotook her brother, her only family away. He repeated what had done to me. He took away my brother and sealed him inside a fox. He slowly killed my mother until he finally had the guts to do it himself. Takahiro was a disease. All he did was destroy. I searched my mind for anything nice he did for me. I soon gave up. Only thing he ever did was push and push until I fell to the floor.

I heard Yuki yell insults to the man. Hoping he would spend enterinty in hell. I sercretly wished that myself. I hurt me, Orochimaru, and my kids as well. I will never for-

"You little bitch, how dare you?!"

No! I turned my head to see Takahiro stand up. The Black Flames still devouring his body. He grabbed Yuki by the throat and squeezed. She made every attempt to make him stop. Claw, bite, kick, everything, but nothing even marked him. "Let her go!" I found some courage to speak. I held Orochimaru to me tightly. He grunted. "Yukiko, you're hurting me." "S-sorry..." I saw glance up. His gold eyes were tired and angry. "Why doesn't this bastard stay down?" I stifled a laugh. "You men are always so stubborn." he looked up at me. I let him get up. He was shaking. He did not do well in the cold. Not well at all. I dashed up and gripped his arm. "Don't! You've done enough!" I wasn't going to let him go. He put his hand on my cheek, "I said I was going to protect you Yukiko. And I meant that." I started sobbing again. I buried my face into his shirt. No, not this time!

I wiped away my tears and walked away from him. He watched slightly confused but at the same time amazed. I stood definitely before him, "You have no right to interfere with my fight! I will not lose another person that I hold dear to me!" I lost too many to allow myself do nothing to help prevent it. I breathed in the cold air. I banged my fists together. "I will not lose! I'm the ruler of the Ice Domain and I'm not going to allow my ally to die in front me! I am Yukiko, the fucking Demon of the Snow!!" I roared. I raced forward and smacked Yuki from his iron grasp.

"I will not run!" I punched him in the face. Blood gushed from his nose.

"I will not cry!" I spun kicked him in the stomach. He vomited blood.

"And I will never forgive you!" I weaved hand signs. "Hyoton: Kokuryuu Boufuusetu!" I punched him in the stomach once more. A black dragon emerged and circled around him in a twister rotation that tore him to pieces. I watched as the black tornado calmed down and disappeared. All the remained was a bloody mess. I sighed. This better be the end old man. But I spoke too soon. Out of the corpse came a dark blue ball. It's glow was haunting and mysterious. My hair on the back of my neck stood on end. I recognized this feeling all too well. I remember rushing into the woods. Dashing through the thicket. Jumping from tree to tree. The terrorizing chill tingling in my spine. My first time being possessed.

I turned to Yuki and Orochimaru. "Yuki, get Orochimaru and run!" although she just regained some of her breath, she struggled to get Orochimaru to his feet. And he wasn't leaving without me. The two had some small disputed and shouting at each other but Yuki managed to get him dragged away. I faced the spirit again. My eyes narrowed. I hated even his soul. I heard the insane laughter and disturbing words. It was happening all over again.

I growled, "Possess me one more time, you son of a bitch."

_______________________________________________________________________________

(Yuki's pov)

I dragged Orochimaru as far away as I could. Takahiro was a persistent man even in death. But I did feel relieved that my brother's body had been freed. It gave me some peace. I felt him try and get away again. "Oh no, you don't!" I pulled him back. All he did was hiss and stay put for a moment. We watched as Takahiro's spirit sped towards Yukiko's body. "He's going to possess her again..." I mumbled. Orochimaru's eyes grew wide. "No, Yukiko, move out of the way!!" he shouted. But she remained still and didn't utter a word. I felt my heart grow heavy as I was witnessed my first real possession. She grabbed her head, swinging it around and screaming. Ice broke out of the ground and surrounded her. Orochimaru once more tired to free himself from my hold. But it was in vain. We were both too weak to help her. Some time passed and it grew silent. It was eirie. I felt him stiffen. I knew he was afraid that she died. "She's okay. I know it." I said. Though I wasn't too sure myself, I just felt that he needed some comfort

My ears flicked the sound of ice cracking. I glared as the began to chip away. Suddenly the ice formation shone dark blue and it shattered. Fog settled on the figure standing in the midst of it. Once it cleared we knew what had happened. Yukiko's snow white mane was now gray. Her claws more sharp than before. I heard the snow crunch as she faced us. Her eyes were deep, dark, blue. A wicked smirk smiled at us. I drew my sword. She let out a howl and advanced towards us.

"This will end it..."

_________________________________________________________________________________

(Orochimaru's pov)

We just sat there as Yukiko ran towards us. I felt so helpless. I hated this feeling. I let her get possess again when I promised I wouldn't let it happen. I closed my eyes. I received the Sharingan. I know more Jutsu now but there's one thing I didn't...

My eyes snapped open when I heard a sword being brought out of it's sheath. I glanced back to see Yuki with her fang in hand. "You can't..." she looked at me. "I can and I will." I made myself rise. "Wait a minute! You're-" I cut her off. "She won't hit me." She looked back and forth between me and Yukiko. "Are you insane? Takahiro has possessed her! He has her body and soul!" I hissed "Then I have something he doesn't have!"

Yukiko jumped up in the air. Her claws extended towards me. 'I have something Takahiro doesn't.' I smirked.

I never did want it but I received it anyhow. And gradually she got mine as well. I knew Yukiko wouldn't kill me. She wouldn't allow it.

I let my eyes close again. I remembered the time when she first told me that she liked me.

(Flashback)

I was throwing shurikin at the post in the back of the academy. Yukiko and Tsunade were speaking over by the tree while the idiot Jiraiya was trying to beat my score on tree climbing. I would peek over at him through my hair. He would be either falling on the back on his head or yelling at the tree. I shook my head in dismay. He was such a fool. I was down to my last ten shurikin when Yukiko skipped over. I paused and looked at her, "What do you want? I'm training." she blushed. "Hm?" she kicked the ground a couple of time. "Yukiko, spit it out or-" I was silenced by a kiss on my forehead. "I really like you Orochimaru. You are cute, smart, and funny. I like you a lot." she then kissed my cheek and ran back over to Tsunade and hid herself from me. I just stood there amazed. I nearly dropped my weapons. Blushing furiously, I just continued my training. But she did bring a smile to face. More so when Jiraiya started to whine about how Yukiko kissed me instead of him. She made me laugh for the first time a while...

(End flashback)

When I opened my eyes again, Yukiko had stopped dead before me. Her claws inches away from my face. She growled as she forced herself to look at me.

"K-kill...Me..." She ground out.

"Huh?! Why?! He needs to die! Not you!" she shook her head franticly. "N-n-o...H-he leaves...In...Here...No-now...Only...W-way..."

"No! I'm not going to kill you! I lov-" She knocked me to the ground. "I said kill me, you stupid snake!" She looked to Yuki. "Hold....Me...S-still..." Yuki nodded and got behind her. Locking her arms together, she waited on me. "I'm not killing you! I can't!" I shouted. "Pick up your sword, Uchiha!" she pointed at my kanata. I shook my head. "Orochimaru, listen to her! If you allow her to live, she'll be in pain the rest of her life! Please, put her out of her misery!" Yuki pleaded with me. I bit my tongue and picked up the blade. I walked over to Yukiko. I gazed into her eyes. I felt like I was going to lose my own life. I grabbed her hand. I kissed her one last time.

"I love you so much. I always will."

I pierced her with my sword. I saw her eyes get dim as the life let her. Her eyes closed. I removed the blade and Yuki laid her on the snow. I turned my attention to my sword. It was coated in her blood. For a moment I swore that I saw her reflection in the weapon. I felt some what better. Her reflection was smiling.

I had everything I wanted. The Sharingan, more Jutsu, but I lost what was most important.

I looked back at her. Her beautiful body lay dead in the snow. It was like she was snow white queen. I noticed the snow.

The Crimson Snow.
