A/N: Sorry for the late update. Things happened and I've just got access to the internet at home again. So, without further to do, here is the next chapter.

I have fixed this chapter a bit, but since there wasn't much wrong with it I couldn't do much.

I Do Not Own Naruto, Blood Rayne or anything else I use in this fic.

Rayne sighed as she watched Naruto walked solemnly towards the mansion. She knew that he was remembering what happened last night. He was in a state of shock. She sighed once more as she continued to watch him before shifting a bit to get more comfortable as Gaara shifted a bit over her shoulder. This wasn't the first time it happened, but it was the first time he actually managed to harm and nearly kill someone due to the transformation. And it didn't help that he was pushing her away at the moment.

As Naruto entered the mansion with Rayne just behind him, they noticed a green haired girl sitting peacefully on the couch. Until she saw them. With a scream, Yonbi jumped behind the couch and started shaking uncontrollably in fear as she hadn't seen Rayne since they were created and she never seen Naruto before and his aura was kind of terrifying. This didn't help Naruto's mood at all. He winced at the sight before looking down and quickly headed up the stairs leaving behind a slightly pissed Rayne and an even more frightened Yonbi.

As he reached the top of the stairs and turned to his room, he noticed Yugito running towards him with a small smile on her face. "Hey Naruto... What's wrong?"

Looking at him closely as she reached him, she could tell something was bothering. He was paler than usual, his eyes had lost their normal spark and were completely dull and he was trembling slightly. He shook her head at her and walked past her without even glaring at her. "I don't want to talk about it."

She turned around and looked at his retreating back with surprise before she rushed towards him and jumped in front of him before placing a hand on his shoulder and looking him in the eye. "Naruto. What's wrong? You know it's better to talk about... Ouf."

The air left her lungs as Naruto removed his fist from her stomach before turning around and walking off and into his room. She gasped for breath and fell to her knees as she looked at his door with surprise. From her brief encounter with him before and at the diner table, she could tell he was kind. But why did he hit her? Shaking that thought off, she slowly picked herself up and tried to open his door to figure out what was wrong as something wasn't right with him.

Of course the door was locked leaving a miffed Yugito as she had half a mind to ram the door and breaking in. As she backed up and was ready to slam into it, she remembered that the doors had special properties and there was no way she could break it down. Sighing in resignation, she turned away from the door. 'I wonder what's wrong with him. He doesn't feel right? Maybe the others will know what to do.'

Yugito shook her head before sighing as she walked down the stairs to ask the others what was wrong with Naruto. As she did so, Gobi stepped out of the shadows with a look of contempt on her face. She had gotten over her anger on what happened to Nibi and her hatred of Kyuubi, but when she felt Naruto's presence, she knew what was wrong. But there was something about the hanyou girl just put her off. It wasn't that she had any evil aura around her or look in her eyes, but the fact that she, Gobi felt... threatened by her.

She had no clue why. She was stronger than the neko hanyou in every way and the fact that she was just a kitten in age. Hell she doubted anyone in this house other than Rayne, Kyuubi and Naruto in his vampiric form could defeat her. And then there was the fact that she was more intelligent and beautiful, in her opinion, yet she still felt threatened by young neko. Threatened that she would take Naruto as hers. And that scared her. Gobi more than anything else wanted the dual half breed to be hers. Something about him just made her feel... she couldn't describe it nor would attempt to.

Shaking that off, she walked up to his room and looked at his door before sighing as she knew that this had to be done. Otherwise he would just stay in this funk forever. Add in the fact that the others would just leave him be till he did it on his own. With a shift kick, the door slammed open and she gracefully entered the room.

From her hiding spot on the stairs, a certain cat hanyou slowly snuck her way towards the room to listen in on what was going to happen.

Naruto was currently looking at his clawed hands with disgust and sadness. He still couldn't believe he had done what he did, even if it was his dark side. All the memories of what happened the night before had come to him after he woke up as if he was the one that did it. And it sickened him. Yes, he could kill and leave people in worse conditions then what he had done, but killing without remorse and attacking his allies and possible friends was something he didn't do. And what was worse was that he enjoyed it.

He knew it wasn't him, but at the same time it was. His dark side was a part of him, no matter how much he didn't want to believe it. He shivered at the thought but he knew it was the truth. He looked down at himself in the mirror and he could see his dark side laughing at him. He narrowed his eyes and with a quick slash, his mirror was shattered in millions of pieces and rained down upon him. As the shards of glass cut through him he just stood unmoving, not caring as he would heal before anyone noticed.

'Am I really like him? Am I monster just like he is?' His eyes slowly started to gain a golden hue to them as he laughed bitterly. 'Maybe so. Maybe the pathetic village was right. I might just be the demon they called me all along. Maybe I am the animal I have become.'

A sudden crash brought him back to reality as an old face he knew quite well walked into the room.

Gobi narrowed her eyes as she caught the scent of blood as she walked into the room. She turned to Naruto to see cuts over his body and glass shards covering the floor. Her eyes widen in surprise when she saw the golden glow coming off his eyes, but quickly regained her composure. Naruto just stood their glaring at her as she did the same before he laughed bitterly at her. "Oh. So you've come. First kaa-san, then Yugito, now you. How many times do I have to say I don't want to talk about it?!"

Gobi remained passive as ever but you could tell there was a slight hint of worry even if she hid it extraordinary well. She remained quiet and let Naruto continued to rant. "Why is it that every time I have a problem, everyone tries to comes to help me?! Can't I be left alone and solve my own problems once?! I'm may be young but I'm not a child! With every thing I have endured in my life, I've been forced to grow up yet everyone continued to treat me as I'm still a child!"

She just stood their listening to his complaints without even flinching in the slightest. Naruto panted a bit as he tried to catch his breath from screaming at her when Gobi responded. "Are you finished?"

Naruto's eyes widen when she suddenly moved and gripped his neck before pinning him to the wall. He struggled for a few seconds but knew it was useless. Gobi glared at him as she took a deep breath. "I don't know where, nor do I care why you are acting like this, but let's get a few things straight. No matter how mature you are, you are a child."

"As for why everyone tries to help you, is because you are young and brash while we are much older and wiser. As much as you hate to admit it, we know what we are talking about. And we do allow you to solve your own problems. But you always drag us into it just like this. You know why. Because you don't know how to deal with it." Naruto growled at her and struggled even more to get free, but Gobi easily held onto him.

The she suddenly smiled lightly at him. "And that's okay. You are still a child even if you refuse to believe you are one. You will make mistakes and will learn from them. That is natural. In time, yes we will leave you to your own devices. But that won't be for a while. You know why." Naruto just looked at her with confusion when she spoke softly. "It's because we care for you, even if some of us don't show it very well."

Naruto's eyes widen in realization before he nodded lightly as the golden hues in his eyes left. Gobi slowly put him down on the ground and releasing her grip on his neck. "Now, what was all this about?"

Naruto sighed as he rubbed his throat a bit. "Nothing." She narrowed her eyes at him and was contemplating on slamming him back against the wall when he continued. "As you said, I am a child and can't handle everything thrown at me. But, this is my problem. No one else's. Only I can solve it."

Gobi's eyes widen before narrowing. How she hated that he used her own words against her. She shook that off, before speaking. "You don't know unless you ask. There might be others that have gone through the same..."

"Thing? I doubt it. The problem lies with what I am." Naruto interrupted her.

Gobi's eyes widen at this before narrowing. "And what problem would that be?"

Naruto shrugged at her before turning his back on her and looking out the window. After a few moments of not getting an answer, Gobi was about to ask him again before using her normal methodology to get him to speak, when he answered. "There are two of me. One light, the other dark. And we are at war with each other."

The little bit of color in the already pale face of Gobi's drained hearing this. There was two of him? It made sense now that she thought about it. The change of personality when he turned into a full fledged vampire was evidence to that. As she was contemplating this she heard a gasp from the door way and turned around to she the cat hanyou, Yugito standing there.

Naruto shook his head before sighing as he looked back at the blonde haired teen. "I was wondering when you were going to come out of hiding."

Gobi blinked in surprise. She hadn't even noticed her and she had apparently been there for a while according to Naruto. And that irritated her.

Yugito walk towards him and stop next to him. "Um... Can you explain more? I didn't quite understand that."

Naruto sighed before nodding. "Alright, to put it bluntly, I'm fighting my dark side. If I win, I can keep my body. If I lose, he takes over permanently. Yet if we kill the other, we die our selves. So I'm stuck in a catch twenty-two."

At this both of their eyes widen, thought Gobi hid hers quickly. Naruto sighed as he looked back at the window. "Right now, he's quiet, but he'll come back and try again, and again, and again. He'll never stop. I can do nothing but stave him off for now as I don't know a thing about sealing, as mostly everyone else in this house."

Gobi nodded her head in understanding. Both Kyuubi and Rayne were powerful and wise, yet neither knew a damn thing about seals. She herself wasn't too fluent with them and she knew the kitsune hanyou, Nibi and Yonbi wouldn't be too knowledgeable about them either.

Yugito sighed as she sat on the bed, not sure what to do. It was kind of weird in her opinion that she was even helping. She just met the kid and didn't know much about him other than what Kyuubi had explained to her. Yet she wanted to help him for reasons she couldn't explain. Maybe it was because he rescued her from certain death and helped her survive. Maybe it was because that he was just a kind person and she knew he would help her if she was in a bind. Maybe it was something more...

She sighed as she shook that thought off before walking up to Naruto and placing a hand on his shoulder and smiled lightly. "I know this isn't much, but I'll be here to help."

Naruto smiled lightly at her before nodding. "Thank you. That's all I can ask for."

Yugito nodded as her smiled brightened at his remark. "Well, I need to go. Kyuubi's going to be mad that I'm already late."

Naruto nodded as Yugito rushed off, hoping the great fox demon wouldn't be to mad that she was thirty minutes late. Meanwhile, Gobi was gritting her teeth and restraining herself from cleaving the neko hanyou in half with Tetsusaiga. He was hers dammit. Shaking that thought off, she was about to speak when his eyes widen and he shot off through the door using his Super Speed. Gobi just stood their confused. 'What the... I don't want to know.'

Itachi had no clue why he was here. So here he was currently seating next to the window, munching on his pocky, in Nibi's room as she slept peacefully, or as peacefully as she could after what happened. He sighed as he looked out the window. He really didn't have a clue. Maybe it was his demon side telling him to or maybe it was just him being himself. Or it might be the fact that everyone else was annoying him and Nibi wasn't, therefore he was here.

Suddenly movement in the bed brought him out of his thoughts. He turned around to see Nibi slowly turning in her bed and her eyes opening slowly. He swallowed the last bit of his pocky as her eyes focused on him. Being unnerved by her glare as it was obviously saying 'What the fuck are you doing here?'; he reached into his pouch to pull out his stress reliever, another pocky stick.

Nibi's eyes twitched madly at this and she just wanted to jump him and start to beat the hell out of him, but alas she could barely move. So a glare would have to suffice, for now. He ignored her glare as he started munching on his apple flavored stick. "So, how do you feel?"

Nibi just twitched even more as he took another bite of his beloved snack food. "How do you think I feel?" He shrugged much to her displeasure before she growled out at him. "I feel like shit you prick!"

Itachi shrugged once more as he continued munching. That was the last straw. She had been doing her best to control it, but her anger combine with the fact that she had been in heat since she was released was just too much. She attempted to lunge at him, but in her condition she didn't get but a foot off the bed before she fell.

Being the compassionate person he was; Itachi caught her before she was centimeters from hitting the ground. He quickly placed her back in the bed while still munching on his pocky stick. Nibi gritted her teeth and nearly lunged at him again, but managed to control herself not wanting to make a fool of herself again. Itachi smirked at her as he stopped munching on his stick. "Oh, you want one."

Nibi growled violently at him, but her stomach had the same reaction making the Uchiha smirk grow wider. She cursed her traitorous stomach before glaring at the smirking hanyou. "Okay fine. I'm fucking hungry. You would be to if you where me! I have barely eaten anything since I've been released and I've been stuck in that seal for thirteen years! So stop fucking teasing me or I'm going to send your ass to hell!"

And what did he do. He smirked. Oh she was so going to kill him when she got better. While she was contemplating on how to end his life in the most gruesome ways possible, he pulled out another stick and handed it to her. Nibi blinked in surprise as he placed the pocky in front of her face. She half expected him to pull it away when she went to grab it, but he didn't. She looked at him curiously. "Why?"

He shrugged as he pulled out another stick and started munching on it. "One, your hungry. Two, it would be cruel not to. And three, I have plenty of that flavor."

Nibi twitched at his last reason but started eating it none the less. Once he was finished with his, Itachi stood up and stretched. "Well, since you're hungry I'll go get you something while you snack on that. Any preferences?"

Nibi looked up at him in confusion. "Fish if there is any left."

The teenage Uchiha nodded and left the room to get her order. The nekomata just blinked at what happened as she chewed on the raspberry flavored stick. '... I guess he's better than what I figured he was. Oh well, I still hate him. He is a kitsune.'

Kyuubi sighed as he looked down at the jinchuuriki of Shukaku. "And what am I suppose to do with him? As I said, Shukaku won't listen to me. If you have forgotten, HE IS INSANE!"

Rayne shrugged her shoulders, not really caring. "Figure that out on your own. Until Jiraiya returns, he's your responsibility as I don't want to deal with him right now."

He growled dangerously at her. "You want me to look after him because you don't want to!"

She closed her eyes before turning towards him and opening them. Kyuubi stopped growling as he noticed something off with her eyes, mainly because she looked troubled. "Something isn't right. Something is off on this whole situation and I'm going to find out what it is. I'm going to find Jiraiya and send him here to fix Gaara's seal, but until then I need you to look after him. ... Plus... I feel strange."

The kitsune looked at her strangely as to elaborate. She took a deep breath before sighing. "I've been lying to Naruto this entire time."

Kyuubi looked at her strangely. He looked at her closely at noticed the scent of salt water, meaning she was crying. This confused him even more and was going to ask about it. He didn't have to when she continued. "H-his mother, h-has been alive, this e-entire time."

Kyuubi looked shocked as he heard this and looked at the Rayne, who he could tell was holding back a great deal of grief. "And she never abandoned him. She was forced to leave and has been our spy in Akatsuki, just to protect him. And now, she wants more than anything to see him..."

At this the kitsune understood Rayne's dilemma. After she had taken Naruto in, she actually believed that she was his mother, but now...

He sighed and placed his hand on her back to comfort her, when he suddenly found himself on the ground and Rayne walking out of the room. Kyuubi sighed at this. She and Naruto were more alike than either admitted. He swore if he didn't know any better, he would have believed them to be mother and son. He sighed once more before getting up and turning to the other door to see Yugito entering for lessons today. He sighed; Rayne would have to wait as Nibi wasn't in the condition to teach her yet.

Rayne walked out of the room with tears streaming down her cheeks and started to increase her pace as she headed for the main doors. She noticed Itachi, but paid no heed to him as she used her Stop Time and rushing out of the room, leaving a very confused Itachi with a plate full of cooked fish in hand.

"Okay... that was odd."

Soon as he said that, Naruto rushed down the stairs and quickly ran out the doors, absently noting that Itachi was looking odd with confusion. Itachi shook his head as he walked up the stairs to bring Nibi the food she asked for. 'What the hell? First Rayne, now Naruto. What is going on? I'm not even sure I want to know.'

Naruto was hot on Rayne's trail as he felt something off with his mother figure. Over the five years, they had became close and at times could even feel when the other's emotions if it was strong enough. And right now, he could tell his mother was severely depressed and he had no clue as to why. So he was going to find out, even if it meant chasing her down, which he knew would take a miracle if she was going full speed.

Rayne bit her lip as she knew Naruto was following her. She had half a mind to stop and tell him to go back home, but then she would have to speak him and he could sense her state right now and would hound her till she spilt what was bothering her. She wanted to, but that would be admitting that his mother was still alive and wanted to be with him. She was selfish. She wanted him to see her as his mother, yet she knew it wasn't the truth. Yet, she wanted to see him happy. And that was breaking her heart as she knew he would choose Akira over her.

She closed her eyes and started slowing down. Even if she didn't want to, it was the right thing to do. Naruto deserved to know. As she was about to come to a stop, she smelt something she knew all too well. Human blood. And it was fresh. This normally wouldn't bother her as vampires did need to feed on humans every now and then, but the scent of it did. It was similar to Naruto's, yet it was definitely human. Her heart stopped as she knew who's it belonged to. Akira.

Rayne took off once more, towards the direction the scent came from. She rushed towards it with all her speed while trying to figure out why she was here. She didn't have to once she entered the clearing she was in. The dried stains on the giant, damaged origami bird were enough to know she already injured before arriving here. But the fresh blood...

Was coming from the severed half of her body as a Turned chewed on her lower portion. The worse part of it was...

Naruto had caught up.

And he recognized her face from Itachi's pictures.

The Turned never knew what it was about to unleash. Otherwise it would have never had attacked the wounded Akira.

In an instant the entire clearing was covered in an oppressive green mist. Naruto's eyes bleed gold as both he and his dark side temporary merge for this moment. Both were pissed beyond all reason so they put everything aside. The green mist began to gain a goldish and purple coloring as the intensity increase while the mist doubled in size, then tripled. Half of the forest was covered by the immense energy as the dual half breed began to physically change.

All the hair on his body began to lengthen as it covered his skin, which in turn was turning gray with a slimy coating as it did in his vampiric form. Two bulges appeared from the back of his shirt and started to rip through it to reveal the two bat like wings, but were different then before. The top part of the wing was covered in blonde fur while the rest remained the same as it did in his vampiric transformation.

His face began to lengthen and grow as his teeth turned to fangs as they harden and lengthened. His nose flattened and turned into more like that of a dogs as his face finished lengthening as his face looked like that of a large wolf. His claws lengthened and sharpened enough that they could shred through a wall of diamonds with ease. His knee caps inversed themselves as Naruto's legs morphed into more canine like limbs. His arms lengthened to match the length of his legs while his chest grew in size to accommodate his transforming body.

A bulge appeared in the back of his pants where his tail bone was. Then another, followed by two more. Then four. They suddenly ripped through to reveal eight body length dog like tails flailing wildly behind him. And his youki and banpaia ryoku merged into one to nearly quadruple the amount of power he was putting out, almost covering the half of the island.

And the seven foot long, four foot tall vampiric Inu's eyes were focused on one thing. The Turned.

It was screwed.

From within the mansion, all time had stopped. The energy being put out was incredible.

Itachi had never felt anything like it before. Then again he never felt Rayne of Kyuubi go all out. He looked down at Nibi, who eyes were narrowed as she recognized the some of the power as Naruto's in his vampiric form. But he couldn't transform now... could he? And where was the rest of it coming from? She shook her head quickly and motion for Itachi to check it out.

He didn't need to be told twice.

Gobi was walking around the complex as she had nothing better to do when she felt the energy. Her eyes widen as she hadn't felt anything like it since her defeat at the hands of Kyuubi, yet it wasn't quite at his level. And it felt familiar. It felt like hers did when she went all out, but it had a touch of...

Vampiric Energy.

Kyuubi had stopped his lesson on fire control with Yugito when he felt it. Yugito was petrified as she had never felt anything this oppressing before and didn't want to again. Kyuubi had his eyes narrowed. It wasn't near his, but it could give Hachimata a run for his/her money. And it wasn't it's energy so he was going to check it out. All he knew was this felt like both vampiric and demonic energy.

And that led to one conclusion.

He ran into Itachi and Gobi as they ran past an extremely frightened Yonbi, who was doing everything she could to not pass out from fear. They rushed out the door forgetting to close it and headed towards their destination which happened to be someone they each cared for about in different ways.

Naruto.

In her life, Rayne had rarely felt fear and it was so long ago that she forgotten what it had felt like. But she was afraid now. Not because of the power Naruto was admitting as she was still more powerful. But the look in his eyes. They weren't his normal carefree, loving eyes, nor were they the golden eyes of his crazed form. These eyes seemed to be in pure agony with untold rage burning within them.

Naruto was trembling from rage as he glared at the Turned, who had finally realized what was going on and it was running for its life. Naruto noticed this before letting out and earth shaking roar and appearing in front of the Turned using something that looked like Stop Time. Naruto growled viciously before he flashed by it several times.

Both arms and its legs suddenly split into dozens of pieces as blood splattered on the ground and Naruto. Its torso landed on the ground as Naruto glared at it savagely. He jumped it torso and started to slash through it's harden skin as if it was tissue. The turned screamed in anguish as Naruto continued slashing till its insides were visible.

Naruto stopped when he could see the flesh of what it had consumed from his mother. His rage grew two fold as he focused on the Turned that was barely alive. He grabbed the creature's skull and glared at it with out pity. With a quick jerk of his wrist, he ripped the top part of his head off, leaving only the lower jaw. A geyser of blood squirted out of the Turned and drenched Naruto. He didn't care as he walked towards his mother and nuzzled her almost lifeless form.

Akira opened her eyes with the little strength she had left and looked at the odd creature in front of her. Yet she wasn't afraid. Even with the amount of power that it was radiating, it felt comforting to her. She didn't know how, but she knew this creature was Naruto as she could see him in its eyes. She smiled lightly as she struggled to lift her arm to its muzzle. "N-Naru..."

She coughed violently, spewing more blood over Naruto. He looked down at her while shaking. He was frightened that the mother that gave birth to him was going to pass away. Akira smiled softly at him with blood seeping out of her lips. "Naruto. I'm... s-sorry... I w-wasn't... t-there for y-you. P-please... f-forgive... me."

Naruto looked down at her, still trembling. He tried to speak, but it came out as a light growl. Realizing he couldn't talk in this form, he instead nuzzled her cheek. Akira smiled as a tears fell down her face and nuzzled back against her transformed son. "T-thank... you... my son."

She closed her eyes willing and the let the darkness consume her. Her son didn't hate her for not being there. She could die in peace knowing that. Her hand fell from his face as her torso slowly became limp. Naruto's canine eyes widen in alarm seeing this and began nuzzling against her, not knowing what to do. After a few dozen attempts, realization began to dawn on the frantic Naruto. Tears began to fall from his eyes, landing on Akira's pale face.

He laid down against what was left of her body before letting a bone chilling howl. It was filled with every negative emotion except anger, hatred or anything along those lines. Rayne closed her eyes as she willed herself not run to him. He need this time alone. She was about to turn and walk off when Gobi, Itachi and Kyuubi arrived looking rather shaken up themselves.

Rayne just tilt her head behind her to tell them to look. Itachi was the first to realize what was going on as he recognized Akira. "B-but sensei has..."

"Kyuubi, ... fill them in... I'm going to get Jiraiya. Once Naruto calms down, return him to the mansion... Till then, let him mourn." Was Rayne's heavy reply. The kitsune nodded as Rayne walked passed him, not sparing a glance back as her heart wouldn't be able to take it.

Throughout the night she heard Naruto's bone chilling howls.

In a cratered landscape where a luscious forest once was, four figures immerged from the rubble as another figure approached them. "It seems you all survived."

The auburn haired man, an angered Uchiha, a fish like humanoid and a plant like man nodded in response. All four of them looked like crap. Then again they somehow managed to survive an explosion that could rival an atomic bomb, so it was a miracle they were alive to begin with.

The smallest of the four, Madara seemed relatively unharmed; other than his cloak was somewhat burnt he had no injury on him. Fuguku was missing two fingers from his right hand, his left thumb and had severe lacerations over his body and was bleeding quite heavily. If he didn't get healed pretty soon, he wouldn't be amongst the living.

Kisame had gashes over his entire body, yet other than that he seemed unharmed. Though, he was cradling Samehada's snapped form in his arms. Zetsu seemed rather unharmed, but the fact that he wasn't covered in his Venus fly trap and the fact that he was missing his right arm showed he did indeed get harmed. Pein was about the same as Zetsu, but he his body was covered in cuts and bruises and heavy bleeding from his right eye, which was gone.

Madara sized up his subordinates before mentally sighing. They were in no condition to do anything. And probably wouldn't be any time soon. "I want you three to get healed up. Once you are, we need to find new recruits to fill up our missing slots. I'll be working on that for now. Pein already has a list, so he'll tell you once you're ready. Do not wear your cloaks as it's a dead giveaway to who we are. As of now, the hunt for the bijuu is off. We don't have the necessary strength to do so. Now go."

None of them needed to be told twice. Pein grabbed Fuguku and shushined away as Zetsu merged with the ground and followed them. Kisame walked off in another direction, caring more about his sword than his own wounds.

Madara shook his head and stood in the middle of the crater. He looked around at the destruction before reaching into his tattered cloak and pulling out a book that seemed to be a recent bingo book from Suna and looking at it. He was searching for the ones that Pein highlighted as the best fit for future members.
