Hey guys and girls.

Honestly, things have been going pretty good. But there comes its down side. Again. I asked you people so nicely, and then only when I threatened to stop this fanfic you review. Tell me one thing. Some of you enjoy this fanfic and PM me. So those of you who do that are off the hook. But for the rest of you. Tell me. Do you not like this fanfic? Does it not amuse you to review?

Do I need to threaten again? Honestly, I never felt anything for what I did to Death In A Devil's World. I slammed the brakes on that fanfic. It is now sitting in the shelf and collecting dust. Sure I'll come back to it. But right now. I don't even regret slamming the brakes.

I can do it very easily with this fanfic. And I am not joking arounf this time. So. Again I ask. RE-FUCKING-VIEW. You're really starting to make me doubt my work.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.

A heartbeat thats lasts for eternity. Lives consumed in soundless balls of fire. No one can tell when the world is displaced, and the Flames of the Crimson World sweep over all.

Chapter 7: Hunting?

It had been 1 week since Naruto and Wilhelmina began to date each other. 1 week since they had started taking things further. 1 week since everything in Naruto's life was exposed to her with her exposing her life to him. What they found common with each other was that they were both very lonely people.

Naruto being alienated by those that mocked and bullied him for what he was. He was always pushed away from those that thought he'd never be anything. Wilhelmina was always used and adused in her previous life before becoming a Flame Haze. She was sold for money and she lived like there was never going to be any hope for her. Naruto and her reaaly liked each other. But for Naruto, he loved her. He wanted to be with her. He needed her near him. He wanted to see her smile everytime he started the day.

Right now he find them fighting some Denizen which had breached the barrier they had made in order to help Flame Hazes know when a Denizen was here. His power was so dense and yet it was very gentle. For example, one time, during a Denizen attack, Wilhelmina was attacked and at the end of the fight, Naruto used his power to heal her wounds. The one she had which gave her issues during the fight was one close to her heart. But that vanished in a few minutes when Naruto healed the wound.

''Wilhelmina-chan, incoming!'' said Naruto as he threw Dullahan at a beam which was heading for her from the side.

''Thanks Naruto-kun.'' she said as she saw the scythe stop the attack by creating a barrier of souls that protected her.

Thinking they had enough playtime. Wilhelmina nodded to Naruto as she summoned up her tattoo and rolled up her sleeve. Naruto's tattoo glowed a bright orange along with Wilhelmina's. During the many long days of training using Threshold and Syncro, they managed gain a few abilities to better channel their Scynro or Threshold ability. It was a way to use their Syncro or Threshold powers better.

''Ready?'' asked Wilhelmina as she jumped to Naruto's side who had banished Dullahan.

''You better believe it.'' said Naruto as he took her hand into his while they held up their arms to show the glowing tattoos.

''Syncro. Souls of the damned grips.'' they said as they thrusted their hands out and two pure golden beams shot out from their hands. Destroying the Denizen that were gathered.

The Seal fizzled out of existance and Naruto breathed in with a sigh accompaning the sigh. A nice thing was that they had achieved a pretty good syncro ratio and it was getting stronger. It was now at the point where if they focused hard enough, they could see through each other's eyes.

''Man, they're coming in more than last time.'' said Naruto as he stretched his tired limbs.

''Guess so. But these must be connected to each other. After all, there is your brother, Hogomoro to worry about. He could be the worst thing you have ever met.'' said Wilhelmina as she sounded scared of Hogomoro.

''Don't worry Wilhelmina-chan. I won't let him hurt you.'' said Naruto making Wilhelmin look at him with love.

''A worthy cause.'' said Tiamat.

''I will fight with you to the bitter end.'' said Wilhelmina making Naruto spin around and pull her close to him.

''And I will do the same for you.'' said Naruto as he put a kiss on her forehead to which she smiled to him for.

They walked back and met up with Shana and Yuji who then went to meet Keisaku. Margery was still in a bit of a mood that Yuji had the silver flames that took everything away from her, but she agreed that they had bigger fish to fry other than trivial pursuits. Naruto had a drink of whiskey while Mergery finished her third bottle of whatever it was she was drinking. She had come to appreciate the Abomination and when she found out that Naruto's youngest brother was reawakened she went to see him. She was a little creeped out at what he was but Naruto told her it was his way of saying that he likes her as a friend.

As they talked amongst themselves, Eita walked up to Naruto and bowed to him for the 6th time.

''Naruto-dono. I want to thank you for saving Ogata from that incident the other day. I don't know what I would do if she was killed.'' said Eita.

''It's fine. And please stop doing that. It's getting irritating.'' said Naruto with a slight dark tone.

''O-Ok.'' said Eita as he walked away from the Unholy 9 eldest.

Stepping out to find the night a brilliant one, he sat down on the step and looked up and began to lose his mind in the countless lights in the sky. It was times like these where he felt like he had everything under control. During the week he had began to open up to Wilhelmina, he had achieved his full powers. He was back at 100% with his powers. Even receiving the 10th seal. He hadn't used it in a long time. The 10th seal was a tattoo on his other hand that looked like that of a weird tribal tattoo that was that of a dragon. The last time he used it was in the 4th Shinobi war.

Feeling two arms wrap around him, he smiled as he looked up to find a mop of pink hair and a very happy sounding girlfriend. Sitting down next to him, she leaned into his form and felt her love put an arm around her, pulling her closer to him.

''How are you?'' asked Wilhelmina as she looked into his eyes.

''Just thinking about what I'll do when I see my older half brother.'' said Naruto as he looked into her eyes and smiled.

''You'll get it. You will always have someone in your corner. I'll be there for you.'' said Wilhelmina as she ran a hand across his face in a loving manner.

''We have come so far.'' said Naruto as he looked into the house to see Shana get all embaressed from what Yuji had asked. ''They still don't know that I am to do the challenge. If I do the challenge, and win, a war could start. The elders of the Otsutsuki clan don't like the idea of a bastard child like myself sitting on the throne. If I lose, my siblings die. Hogomoro will try to make the Otsutsuki clan the top clan in the whole Crimson World.'' said Naruto looking down.

''A serious disadvantage.'' said Tiamat.

''So either way. We're screwed. He has you trapped and which ever route you take will be one which destroys you. This isn't fair.'' said Wilhelmina.

''Yeah. Well that's family politics for you. Despite me and my siblings being born froma Denizen father who was one of the top dogs, we are still part of the Otsutsuki clan. And I will die trying than let my siblings burn in flames.'' said Naruto as Wilhelmina saw fire in his eyes.

''The stakes are that high then.'' said Wilhelmina as she took Naruto's face and kissed him on the lips. Pulling away she looked into his eyes with a smile.

''What ever happens. I'm glad I met you. And I love you.'' said Wilhelmina as she felt Naruto grab her shoulders and kiss her again. It was so beautiful, if Shana didn't cough behind them and tell them to join them for food. Getting up and making their way to the table they gave thanks and ate in chatter between each other.

With the food eaten and Naruto taking Wilhelmina home they left Keisaku's house and headed to their apartment. Wilhelmina was snuggled into Naruto's body and was making content noises of being near him. Naruto had his arm wrapped around her waist, drawing her closer to him while he breathed in her rich scent.

''I had a great time. Thank you Naruto-kun.'' said Wilhelmina with a smile on her face.

''Glad you liked it.'' said Naruto as he looked at her with love.

But as they continued to walk, a Denizen showed up but he wasn't showing any hostility to them, nor was there any erection of a Seal.

''Are you Naruto Otsutsuki?'' asked the Denizen.

''I am. What of it?'' asked Naruto.

''The challenge is happening in three days. You are to report to a Netherworld portal as soon as possible.'' said the Denizen as he vanished from sight.

''Great. I thought we had a bit more time.'' said Naruto as his one hand tightened into a fist. Wilhelmina could feel the rising tension in Naruto, so she took the moment to break away from him and place a hand on his face.

''We can still get this done. It isn't over.'' said Wilhelmina as she closed the distance between her and him and soon enough kissed him.

''I know. But with it now being three days away, means that Hogomoro wants to start a war. With me being the trigger.'' snarled Naruto cursing as to why he had to have half Denizen blood coursing through his veins.

''It is all the elders' fault. They want to be the superior of the clans and now they may have that. You're not to blame here Naruto. In fact. You have every right to live.'' said Wilhelmina as she felt Naruto wrap his arms around her and hug her tightly.

''Thank you. I am truly thankful that you are the one who cares for me. I love you.'' said Naruto and with that he kissed her on the lips making her return the kiss.

''And I love you.'' said Wilhelmina as she smiled to him.

They had to resurrect Naruto's sister. Yugito. If they were going into a war, then they had to get as many of Naruto's siblings awake. The more they have awake, the more the tide would turn for their favour. It was just a more better way to look at it as a Denizen Crimson Lord hybrid holds unbelieveable power.

But just as they walked down the street, a few Denizen jumped out of no where. What they dfound shocking was that the two of them didn't even sense their approach. Using a binding power on Naruto, he dropped to the floor and had a restraint placed on his link to Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina and him were in so much pain as lightning arced around them. A token for cutting of each others link without the other's consent. Dropping to the floor, Wilhelmina was passed out cold and Naruto could just lie there, horrofied at what just happened.

''Your time has come. Abomination.'' said the one Denizen as the other two picked him up and dragged him away. Causing the pendant around Naruto's neck to drop to the floor.

''Wilhelmina-chan!'' called out Naruto as the portal they opened closed.

''Naruto...-kun.'' said Wilhelmina as she passed out.

And scene.

Yes, this is left on a cliffhanger where Naruto is taken away from Wilhelmina and with that, their link to each other is no more. How will they find each other without knowing where the other is? And why kidnap Naruto when the challenge is only a few days away?

Find out next time on Crimson Lord Naruto.
