Okay guys, here's the next chapter. Going to skim over the summer and get us right to third year. Things are going to start winding up, in the upcoming chapters and be sure to read my AN at the bottom to get a description and reasoning on my choices for the poll for Daphne's bloodline. It will be up for a little while, as I wont reveal it till fourth year, so you'll have time to vote Also for your convenience here's the time line, in regards to Sirius,
PLEASE READ! Mission where Obito gets 'killed', Lily get's pregnant, they find out it's twins, Sirius get's named Riley's godfather, Evidence is found that points to Sirius being the cause to Obito getting killed, before being captured Sirius kills Peter, and a bunch of muggles, Sirius is thrown into Azkaban, Riley and Naruko are born, Nine tails attack...
PLEASE READ! Now I need to make three things clear to all my readers, first is that this story is going to ramp up in maturity. I started it a lot like the harry potter books, I wanted it to be lighthearted with a bit of adult stuff sprinkled in at first, that's going to change as the characters age, and things start happening. As the years progress things will get darker, more sexual, more graphic, and definitely more brutal. I've been tame on the brutality and sex, and I've only really dealt with the kiddy version of both, but things will definitely be changing soon so prepare yourself. Yes I will place a warning before anything too graphic like people getting brutalized by horrible monsters, or the possible seven way orgys when all the ladies get together. Also as a side note, some people asked about the futa part in my earlier warning... let me explain that very simply... think of it as this magical worlds version of a strap on. Why buy an item when you have spells that can do that shit... just my logic... won't be always in lemons, and no, I'm not turning the girls into guys, for some of this... you would assume that in this setting, instead of buying a strap on, they would just use some sort of spell to give themselves a cock, for the duration of coitus... just saying, don't worry.
Second thing I wanted to clear up is that Riley is a dark character in my story... that doesn't mean evil. Here's the difference in my mind, Evil is someone who will viciously torture someone because it's fun. Dark is someone who'll viciously torture someone to get info from them. By her being dark I don't mean she going to go all goth, with 'crawling' by Linkin park, following her around everywhere... what I mean is that she will do things that light people generally would not. Riley will have it in her to brutalize people, to do things to human beings that would make your nipples tingle in fear... that's what I mean by dark. Generally in my mind, evil is either the joker, or Cthulu. Dark is more like Sauron, or cannon Voldemort, or even like Darth Vader. That's what I mean by dark, she'll do fucked up shit, but she wont do it, just because she feels like it. She'll do bad things for... not good reasons... but reasons. And that's the difference in my mind, evil is chaos, dark is order.
The third thing I wanted to talk about was something Kurama brought up earlier. I felt I wasn't very clear when he said that demons can take any form. You see in my AU. The tailed beasts look like that because the sage of six paths made them that way. So they look like creatures from earth. Demons in general can take whatever form they want. They can look like the devil, from the cartoons, with the red skin and pointy horns. They can look like Diablo from Diablo. They can look like necromorphs, and even lovecraftian horrors. The point is, is that they are beings of pure magic... they can look like whatever. With the being said... I'll be stealing some ideas from some of my favorite darker Mythos's and yes I will reference them when I do use them. And yes I will have demons take part in my story... Riley will need a challenge at some point in the story, and also at one point or another she'll have minions, and I already have a great idea for her first set.
I just wanted you guys to get a look inside my mind, and know where I'm going with this. I plan on this story being epic in length, and in order for it to keep going, I'm gonna need to make some stuff up, and take some stuff from other things. No I wont be doing any huge crossovers with anything else, just maybe taking an idea or two. Now I need you guys to do something for me... it wont be for a few chapters, but when I get all six of the girls together, I need you too make sure I give enough attention to all of them. I can get lost in one of their sub plots, so badly that I may forget the others exist and I don't wanna do that. So be sure to keep on me on that... anyway, I hope this has answered any questions you guys may have... enjoy!
Broken Angel
Chapter 16: The Start of the Problem
"You have been to this beach I don't know how many times and yet this is the first time I've ever seen you so nervous," Apolline said to her eldest daughter as their father drove them to the beach.
"She's just nervous cuz Riley's gonna be there," Gabrielle giggled playfully, earning a glare from Fleur.
"What are you so worried about? Haven't the two of you already confessed your feelings for each other?" Jean asked.
"Yes... … … it's not that I'm nervous about her seeing me... it's just..." Fleur blushed brightly and couldn't finish her statement.
"You're worried about seeing her?" Apolline asked.
"Yes," Fleur replied with a nod, her blush growing worse.
"What are you so afraid of? I taught you well. You'll stay in control of yourself, and you won't do anything to push her. I know you, Fleur... you are a good girl. You wouldn't force yourself on anyone, especially someone you love. Besides... it's not like Riley couldn't fight you off if she needed to," Apolline noted with an uplifting smirk.
"You are right. Everything will be fine," Fleur tentatively agreed, finishing with a nod.
They arrived at the beach a short time later. They quickly unpacked everything they would need for a relaxing day and began looking for Riley.
"I wonder when Riley will get here?" Gabby wondered aloud.
"You rang, Delacours?" they all heard from above. They glanced up to see that Riley had made herself comfortable in the crook of a tree's branches, shading her from the glare of the midday sun. She was dressed in a bikini top and jeans shorts. Her hair was down, and in the bright sunlight you could clearly see the red in it. Riley hopped down from the tree, landing gracefully next to them.
"Good to see you made it," Apolline greeted her.
"Yeah... it was either have fun with you guys or sit on the island and train all day. I don't get out enough, and I've never been invited to the beach before, so I figured this could be a lot of fun," Riley replied with a smile and a shrug.
"Did Remus not want to come?" Apolline asked as they all made their way down to the beach.
"Nah... he has to deal with Moony today, so he decided to stay home," Riley replied.
"Who's Moony?" Gabby asked.
"Our pet Puma. He's the one who gave Remus all those scars," Riley joked with a chuckle.
They all made it to a private area of the beach of the Veela enclave here. It was privately owned so that Veela could have somewhere they didn't have to worry about their allure affecting anyone if they wanted to... so only Veela and their families or anyone they wanted to bring with them could enter.
While the Delacours began chatting with their friends that had also come to the beach Riley and Fleur made off for a secluded little stretch around the bend. They quickly set up their towels and umbrella and went about applying sunscreen.
"Do you need some help, Riley?" Fleur asked casually.
"No, not really. I don't burn... or tan," Riley muttered in reply as she looked at her pale skin.
"Would you help me then?" Fleur asked.
"Sure," Riley replied with a smile.
She began to rub sunscreen onto Fleur's back, though it didn't take long for the young Veela to make her move.
"Ah... I don't want tan lines," Fleur stated in a quiet voice as she pulled the string on her bikini top, letting it fall to the ground.
Riley simply smirked, knowing full well that this was the Veela's plan all along.
She continued to apply sunscreen to Fleur's back for several moments, until Fleur muttered for her to go lower.
Riley let her hands drift lower down Fleur's back as the Veela whispered for her to go lower yet again, obviously enjoying having Riley's hands on her.
"If you want me to go lower... then this has to come off," Riley whispered, her hands drifting down to Fleur's bikini bottom.
Fleur blushed brightly and nodded as Riley's hands found the strings holding it together.
Riley felt her heart racing. To see the girl, she loved in all her glory... It was too enticing a thought; she found her hands trembling slightly as she kissed Fleur's neck. She felt a heat spread between her legs and an uncontrollable feeling of lust overtook her.
She felt excited, intense emotions flowed through her as her anticipation built rapidly. She could feel magic crackling around her, her chakra churning and roiling when she heard Fleur's breath catch in her throat as Riley began to pull on the strings. It was an intense reaction, one that would normally have drawn concern from Riley had she been focusing on anything other than her soon-to-be naked lover's form.
Fleur let out a little noise as her bikini bottom fell to the ground. Riley was hesitant for only the slightest of moments before gently caressing Fleur's rear. Fleur purred in delight, which only served to embolden Riley who found herself kissing Fleur's neck, passionately. One of Riley's hands began to trail forward; it slowly passed over the Veela's hips before coming to rest on her stomach.
Riley enjoyed the feeling of Fleur's smooth stomach beneath her hand, her soft flesh seeming so fragile that, despite Riley's building desires, she kept her touch light.
The things she was feeling right now, they were like nothing she had ever felt before. Riley felt amazing... that's all that could be said.
Fleur let out a bated breath as she began to guide the hand on her stomach higher. Riley continued to passionately kiss Fleur's neck and caress her rear; she was having a difficult time hiding her excitement as she felt her hand being guided upwards.
A moment passed and Riley felt her own breath hitch, before she felt the soft skin of Fleur's breast in her hand.
Riley had no clue why this was all happening. Despite knowing full well that Fleur intended to invite Riley to this beach with the sole intention of showing off her body in a setting that wasn't necessarily intimate so there was far less pressure on both of them, Riley had held no real intentions of things becoming notably sexual.
Living life in the moment was a part of Riley's nature. She had no roadmap for her relationship with Fleur, how long she would wait to have sex with her, when she would ask Fleur to marry her, when they would have children, none of it was planned out. Whatever happened, happened, in Riley's mind, but she had intended to keep herself under control. Now though it was like her body was screaming for her to push forward, it was like every ounce of her being yearned for this.
Riley had explored herself and masturbated a couple of times in the past, so she was no stranger to sexual stimuli, what she was feeling now though was entirely different. It was far more intense, she felt an almost burning need to satisfy herself, but she also felt the need to satisfy her lover. The former feeling was far more intense than Riley was used to, and the latter was completely foreign.
She gently began to caress Fleur's breast, which earned her a light moan from the Veela. Hearing that moan Riley felt a wave of pleasure pass through her body... she had no clue where it came from, but Fleur must have felt it too, since she arched her back and turned her head to capture Riley's lips with her own while letting out another moan.
Riley felt Fleur's tongue enter her mouth and she responded passionately. Hearing her girlfriend moan emboldened Riley and the hand on Fleur's rear found itself inching across her hips towards the Veela's wet center. Both girls were so turned on right now, both lost in a trance, neither knew what was driving them forward like this. What had started as mild petting was now about to become something more and neither one showed any sign that they wanted to stop.
Riley's fingers passed over the smooth-shaven skin of Fleur's center, and the veela let out another moan as she continued to make out with her girlfriend.
As Riley's fingers brushed over Fleur's clit both girls moaned loudly, and a bolt of pleasure shot through the two of them. Riley's fingers were just starting to feel the immense wetness that had gathered between Fleur's legs when her digits finally brushed Fleur's entrance.
Riley allowed her fingers to gently caress the exterior of Fleur's sex as the two continued to kiss; Riley felt emboldened by Fleur's moans, grinning into the kiss when Fleur let out a gasp and seemed to lose the strength in her legs for a moment.
It was a strange action, one that caused both Fleur and Riley to separate as Fleur felt herself starting to fall. Riley's arms quickly encircled her, stopping her from falling over, and both were treated to an incredible sight occurring around them.
Fleur and Riley found themselves surrounded by a chaotic sphere of rotating sand. Fleur blinked a few times at the raging sands, not understanding what she was looking at, but her interest in it was quickly replaced by more pleasurable pursuits.
"Hey! Can you hear me now?!" Riley heard Kurama bellow from within her mindscape.
'Kurama... what's happening?' Riley thought.
"It's your youki. Remember what I told you... your body converts excess emotion into energy. Right now, you're so horny your body is producing more energy than your coils can maintain. It's all that lust you're feeling. You're flooding the area with youki, and that youki is filled with sexual desire. It's why your mate is so horny right now," Kurama explained to her.
For a moment, Riley was confused. Her gaze drifted to Fleur, and when she turned her head Fleur instantly caught her lips in a kiss. Riley pulled back in surprise, but Fleur tried to chase her, wanting to continue what they were doing despite what was happening; it was almost like she didn't care about the winds or the sands moving around them. One look at the almost glossy look in Fleur's eyes made Riley's blood run cold and any thoughts of an erotic nature quickly fled from her mind as she realized that something was very wrong.
"Fleur!" Riley gasped, spinning her mate around so that the two were facing each other. Fleur let out a breathy chuckle as she reached out and grabbed the back of Riley's head, pulling her into another kiss.
Riley again pulled back, her eyes wide in surprise and worry. Fleur's eyes were glazed over, and she seemed determined to continue what they were doing, despite the fact that she appeared to be losing her balance. It almost appeared like she was becoming intoxicated.
Riley let out a gasp of surprise as she felt Fleur's free hand slide under her bikini top, cupping her breast. Fleur again tried to pull Riley into a kiss, but this time Riley held her back, and Fleur's lustful haze seemingly broke for a moment.
"Fleur! We need to stop this," Riley said as Fleur froze and blinked several times. By now the raging sands had settled around the two, leaving only the sounds of the rolling waves to fill the air.
Fleur suddenly looked mortified and almost reflexively released Riley. She backed several feet away, her eyes locked on Riley. Riley stared back, concerned, confused, half her bare chest exposed. Fleur's hands quickly covered her mouth, and she turned her gaze away, seemingly horrified by what had just happened.
"Fleur..." Riley began.
"I am so sorry! I don't know what came over me! I got caught up in the moment! Riley, I am so sorry!" Fleur quickly got out.
"You know, if you had stuck to your original plan of not letting this go further than a bit of playful exposure then none of this would be happening," Kurama chastised her with a sigh.
'But... we didn't even do anything... we... I wasn't... I didn't intend...' Riley thought in reply.
"It doesn't matter what you intended! Remember you're a thirteen-year-old girl, going through puberty... no matter how mature you are, you aren't going to be able to control your desires and emotions that well. You're still a child. Seeing your mate naked, touching her, sharing in intimacy of that nature, it's more than enough to set off your desires and push you to where you are now. Now listen closely... your mate is being manipulated by your youki, and is also being harmed by it. Just like with normal magic, if your control over it is not perfect it can and will start to hurt those that aren't its host. She's already shown signs of fatigue just standing next to you while you're like this. She will not survive if your youki becomes more potent. The only reason she's even still standing is because she's not human. So... calm down, take a few deep breaths... maybe it's time to explain to Fleur what's going on with you," Kurama explained to her.
Riley mentally cursed as she took in her demonic companion's words. While in normal cases, even without perfect control, her magic would just wash over Fleur and not do anything to her unless Riley directed it to do so, her youki was a much more malevolent energy that had also recently been infused with venom, making it highly toxic.
"Riley... say something, please," Fleur pleaded delicately and with a bit of fear.
Riley blinked several times before turning her gaze away from Fleur and readjusting her swimsuit top. She then used her magic to summon over Fleur's swimwear that had been blown away in the chaos.
"You should put this on. We need to have a talk," Riley replied with frustration as she started to take deep, meditative breaths.
Fleur gave her a worried look but quickly dressed. After a moment she took a step closer to Riley, eying her with uncertainty and worry in her gaze.
Riley let out a calming breath as she returned her eyes to Fleur. Her next deep exhalation was less meditative and more of a sigh as she shook her head and let herself fall down onto the sandy beach.
"I'm sorry, things got out of hand... I didn't mean..." Fleur began but was cut off by a shake of the head from Riley.
"No... it's not your fault, Fleur... it's me. I... look, can you sit with me? There's something I need to tell you…," Riley replied, giving Fleur a pleading look.
"I don't understand," Fleur began as she sat next to Riley. The two young lovers sat in silence for a moment while Riley thought about how best to explain herself. Riley knew she had to get the truth out, yet a part of her hesitated. Telling Fleur that she was becoming a demon was big news, the kind that could send her fleeing in terror. Riley felt her stomach turn at the thought. She almost decided against saying anything, but she just couldn't bring herself to lie. Not to Fleur. She needed to take a chance; she loved Fleur, and with love came trust. She had to take the chance, so finally she just decided to tear the bandage off.
"I'm not human, Fleur."
"You're not?" Fleur asked with surprise.
"I was... but I'm not anymore... or... I won't be human for much longer," Riley replied with a shake of her head.
"I don't understand," Fleur stated with confusion.
"Look... when I was born, in order to save my village from destruction, the village leader sealed a demon's soul into my stomach. Something went wrong with the seal, and I began to absorb the demon. Fast forward twelve years and the demon finally wakes up. Feeling itself dying it decides to broker a deal with me, to save itself. I turned it into a summon, with my body as the temple, and it would help me perform a ritual that would turn me into a demon. In a few years' time I'll become a full-fledged demon," Riley explained.
Fleur looked more than a little surprised to hear this. She had always been curious to hear of Riley's past, but to hear that she was used to house a demon's soul on the day she was born, that was a bit intense.
"You being naked, us touching, it got me all excited and when I get excited, well... you see... demons have a unique magical energy called youki, they also have an ability to turn their emotions into youki. When I got excited all of the excess emotions started to turn into youki and well... it started to affect the world around us... and my youki is very poisonous, you're just lucky it wasn't concentrated, or it would have killed you. We can't do anything like that again, not until I get better control over my powers. I was so lost in my desires a moment ago, and with all the lust-filled youki I was releasing into the air it was almost like you were drugged into having sex with me... almost like my own version of allure..." Riley explained as she ran her hands through her hair in frustration. It was just starting to dawn on her that she could have easily killed Fleur if she had allowed her Youki to manifest any more than it had.
Riley felt sickened at how close she had come to killing someone she loved... she started to hate herself, it was obvious that Kurama had been trying to call out to her while it was all happening, but only Fleur's sudden fatigue had broken her out of her lust enough to actually hear him. If the two of them hadn't been standing things could have gone a lot worse. The gravity of the situation hit Riley like a punch in the gut. She was lucky that her beloved mate wasn't seriously injured right now, all because Riley couldn't keep it in her pants.
While Riley fretted, Fleur took in her words and felt a bit of relief. She had been so worried about pushing Riley into something she wasn't ready for, that the moment Riley pushed her away she was broken out of her lustful haze. She was disgusted with herself, angry for doing exactly what she had wanted to avoid. Riley's explanation settled her nerves a bit. She still believed she held some of the blame, but she actually understood what it was like to have a power like the Allure and what it could do to a person.
Allowing her thoughts to return to Riley she took notice of the distress on Riley's face, and quickly realized what her girlfriend must be thinking. She quickly closed the distance between the two and took Riley's face in her hands, breaking her out of her worry with a gentle, loving kiss.
"Do not think like that! I can see it in your eyes... I am fine... do not think like that," Fleur implored with a loving warning in her eyes as the two separated.
"But..." Riley tried to reply, only to be cut off with another kiss.
"I know how hard it is to deal with a power like the Allure. And I know what it's like to be different. You are not human... so what? It doesn't change how I feel about you. Even if you are a demon... you are still the kind, loving woman I fell in love with. I don't care what you are Riley, you are my mate, now and forever. I love you; I trust you; I know you would never hurt me. Do not blame yourself, this was an accident, nothing more. We'll figure it out, okay?" Fleur stated with conviction, a comforting smile on her face.
"Yo-You mean it?" Riley asked, surprised and incredibly elated by Fleur's declaration.
"Of course, I do. What you are doesn't change who you are. I am a bit wary of this demon's soul that you carry inside of you though. I mean... is it safe?" Fleur asked.
"Oh, he's not so bad... you've met him already, actually. The big red fox?" Riley told her.
"He's the demon? Sure, he is ferocious looking, but I would never have thought him a demon..." Fleur said with some surprise.
"I'll have to try harder," Kurama stated with determination.
'Please don't,' Riley replied.
"No- I feel like I've been issued a challenge," Kurama replied indignantly.
'Kuurrraaama...' Riley whined.
'Hey, what'd I miss?' Madara asked.
'Nothin', go away!' Riley snapped at him, causing Ghost Madara to slink back into the forest with his hands raised in defeat.
"Riley?" Fleur asked, noticing her spacing out.
"What? Sorry... so you're really okay with this?" Riley asked.
"Of course. I still love you. And I want to thank you for being honest. It's never easy being different, I should know. I just hope I... don't have to wait long to have you," Fleur replied with a hint of desire in her eyes and a small blush tingeing her cheeks.
"You won't. I promised that you'd be my first... and I meant it," Riley replied with a warm smile.
"Good to hear," Fleur responded with a smile of her own.
"I love you," Riley said after a moment.
"Also, good to hear," Fleur replied with a giggle as the two shared another kiss.
The two were quiet for a few moments as they parted from their kiss and shared in an embrace. After a few moments they separated and remained sitting with each other.
"So... what did you think?" Fleur inquired after a moment.
"About what?" Riley asked.
"Me. What you saw... and felt," Fleur replied with a blush as she thought about Riley's hands drifting over her body.
"Um... well, what I felt was amazing. Your breasts and butt felt wonderful... kinda didn't really get a look at anything though. I had my head buried in your neck most of the time," Riley replied with a crimson blush. In truth, she actually didn't take the time to memorize what Fleur looked like when they had separated.
"Oh well, a preview maybe?" Fleur bit her lip and lifted her bikini top, showing off her breasts. Riley didn't bother hiding her gaze as her eyes fell to Fleur's exposed breasts. Fleur herself was rather pale, and despite her earlier statement about tan lines, she had none around her top. She was doing quite well in the chest department if Riley had any measure of the situation. After a few seconds of exposure Fleur reapplied her top, offering Riley a playful smirk, which caused Riley to giggle.
"Good?" Fleur inquired with a raised eyebrow.
"Dammit woman, what did I just say!" Riley let out more laughter as she fought down her own lust which was starting to creep back.
"I'll take that as meaning you approve," Fleur surmised, smiling proudly.
"If it didn't kill you..." Riley began, but stopped herself, knowing she didn't want to go down that road. Everything was too fresh in her mind, and despite the easing tension, Riley was still worked up, and she probably would be for a while.
"So... what can we do to avoid me being hurt by your powers?" Fleur asked after a few passing moments of quiet.
"I just need to work on my control. Youki works like regular magic in that once I have perfect control over it, it won't react outside of my will. To stop the whole generation-of-excess-energy bit I'll have to work on some seals to absorb that power and collect it, rather than release it into the air. It may be a bit, but I'll get it all under wraps. I want you to know full well though, that I do want this, and I do want you," Riley explained, finishing by leaning in close to Fleur, locking eyes with her and punctuating her statement with an intimate kiss.
"I want it too. I will wait... forever if I must, my love," Fleur responded, her tone sensual as the two separated.
"Charmer," Riley mouthed, and the two spent some time basking in each other's embrace. Occasionally they would kiss, but it never ventured far beyond that.
The remainder of their day together went rather well, all things considered. At one point the rest of the Delacour family mentioned the strange wind that had occurred earlier, which caused the two young lovers to burst into fits of giggling.
Though all in all, the day went on without further incident.
The rest of the summer went by rather quickly; Riley visited Gringotts and learned that she was now the Heir of Gryffindor and acting lord through honor passing, which meant she now owned half of Hogwarts. Due to her status as heir, she basically became the chosen bearer of Gryffindor's legacy, meaning that one of her children would be named as the new Lord of House Gryffindor, and by her blood the house would rise once more.
She also returned to the school for a few days during the summer with Professor Snape to harvest the basilisk. They had hired a team of five professional hunters to assist in harvesting the beast, and in the end Snape and Riley both walked away with about ten million galleons in basilisk parts. Riley sold most of hers while Snape held onto some of his for use in potions. All in all, it was a rather quiet procedure as Riley, Snape, and the rest of their assistants treated the endeavor almost like a meditative experience and rarely spoke to each other outside of instructions.
Riley and Fleur spent plenty of time together, and Riley was constantly sending off Shadow Clones to train her friends. Ginny had finally agreed to join in learning how to fight like a ninja and was busy learning the Academy Three. Riley had also asked if Fleur was interested in learning how to be a ninja, and after some thought she accepted, so Riley began teaching her the Academy Three as well.
All of her friends were growing quickly, and it seemed that they had more than a few geniuses and even two prodigies in the form of Draco and Daphne. Draco was beginning to remind Riley a lot of a younger Kakashi. He learned quickly and was eager to improve. He was already fast approaching Genin level in physical abilities, and the only ones who were even close to that were Katie and Theo. Daphne had already started learning her first genjutsu, which she was quickly getting the hang of. The only other person that was excelling quite rapidly was Hermione, who had already learned the Tree Walking exercise, and was now learning the Water Walking exercise.
Everyone else was at varying stages of physical training, most were being taught the Leaf Academy taijutsu, the only exception here was Theo, who had taken to learning kenjutsu. She had also started teaching all of her friends how to use kunai and shuriken, the best users being Daphne, Draco, Pansy, and surprisingly Luna.
Most of their parents also noticed the increase in their children's abilities. When they learned what kind of training, they were enduring most were quite excited to see what would come of it, since ninja almost never left the Elemental Nations and never before had one of any real skill shown up and offered to train anyone, let alone a large group like this.
Riley's training was going amazingly well, she mainly focused on learning to control her youki during this summer break. The biggest issue with controlling it was how much denser and heavier it was than chakra. The difference was literally like trying to push around one of those little kiddy pools when it was empty compared to filling it to the brim with water and then trying to move it. Not impossible... just tough. Though when she used youki instead of chakra the results were...noticeable. The Fireball jutsu, which was a C-rank technique, when infused with youki, could easily overpower the Grand fireball jutsu, which was an A-Rank jutsu.
Riley also learned to control the poison in her youki. The basilisk venom didn't remain as it was, instead it adopted new properties and literally became like a magical acid. She could infuse it into her strikes, and because it was an acid it would eat through peoples' skin, while also entering their bloodstream, causing incredible pain and damage. She tested it out on a would-be rapist in London and very much enjoyed the results. By the time her poison had finished running its course the guy was nothing but a pile of bones with bubbling flesh around them.
She also took to learning how to fight with four new types of weapons, now that she was tall enough. She focused hard on figuring out how to wield magic with a staff, which granted her magic a surprising kick. Casting a simple Reducto while using her staff either released multiple Reductos, or the Reducto that was released would leave a crater the size of a house. She could also finally start learning how to use a sword. She learned two different sword styles, one for a katana, the other for a simple straight sword. The final two weapons she took too came with learning how to fight like her grandfather, with a hand scythe and a gunbai fan.
Riley now stood at 5 feet, six inches, so she was still tall for her age; she weighed about one hundred and thirty pounds, though most of that weight was from her dense muscle mass as Shinobi tended to have lither frames. Her hair was down to her lower back, and her breasts were now sitting at a b-cup, though no one would notice, since she still mostly kept her chest bound. According to Madara she was going to be a very voluptuous woman when she grew older as that was the sign of a powerful kunoichi, though he did say she wouldn't be as curvy as someone like Tsunade, since she was so tall and lithe. One usually did not see her regular eyes any longer as she always had her Sharingan, Mangekyou, or Rinnegan in her eyes, but when she didn't, her eyes were still the piercing dark blue they had always been, though now they crackled with immense power.
By the end of the summer, in terms of abilities, Madara was sure that she was the strongest fighter anywhere outside of the Elemental Nations, and he wouldn't be surprised if she had reached the rank of S-class. Her chakra control was immense, and she practiced it regularly. Her chakra levels were incredible, as she slowly became more of a demon her levels of raw energy just kept growing. At the rate she was producing youki she would have as much energy as the One Tails within a year. In terms of abilities, her genjutsu skills were off the charts, she could cast complex genjutsu with just her eyes; her taijutsu was amazingly advanced, she possessed enough skill, flexibility, speed, and strength to keep up with any taijutsu master in the world. In terms of speed, she had her gravity seals set to fifty times earth's gravity, and when released she could run faster than the speed of sound. She had also finally gotten down Tsunade's super-strength, to the point where she could multiply her own strength one hundred times.
In just the few months of summer her skills with a sword had reached Chuunin level, and if she kept up her training it wouldn't be more than a year or two before she would be at her grandfather's level when using a scythe and gunbai fan. Her medical ninjutsu was on level with most adult medical ninja, and her sealing abilities were Jonin level, which was amazing considering she only started learning seals a few years ago and it was the most complex skill that ninjas possessed.
However, where Riley really shined was in her ninjutsu and spell work. She had mastered over a hundred jutsu, to the point where she could perform multiple A-rank techniques with a single hand sign. Most C-rank techniques she didn't even need hand signs anymore, or words for that matter. Her favorite techniques, Fire style: Great Fire Annihilation, Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence, Wood Style: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, and her newest techniques, Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, Gale Release: Rasendori, and Scorch Release: Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero, promptly named by Madara, who then decided it sucked, but Riley refused to change its name, could be used in under five hand signs, some even with none at all.
The Rasenshuriken was Riley's completed Rasengan. She finished the technique for the sole purpose of scorning her father, who never got around to doing so. Though she couldn't deny how awesome it was; it was a ranged attack that attacked on a cellular level, and if used at full power could easily destroy a small mountain. The Rasendori was Riley's attempt to fuse the Chidori and Rasengan. The end result was a High A-rank technique that had the cutting power of the Chidori and the blasting power of the Rasengan, thus resulting in a technique that could punch through and destroy almost anything, and when the chakra ratios were perfectly aligned, the lightning and wind turned black, thus making it look like Gale Release. And finally, Halo Hurricane Jet Black Arrow Style Zero was a fusion of the Rasenshuriken and Amaterasu, this technique could easily be classified as a SS-rank technique, since it could destroy an entire city if Riley focused her energy into the attack.
Her abilities with the Mangekyou were unparalleled, the only person who could match her in ocular abilities was Madara, by his own admission. She could hold someone in Tsukuyomi for several days, she could create and manipulate the black flames of Amaterasu to such a degree that she could form weapons with them, like swords and spears, and even maintain them while combining them with other techniques; though where she really shined was in the use of Susano'o. She could manifest all four of its forms, from the skeletal, to the full upper body, to the full body, and even the perfect form her Grandfather was so feared for. Her Mangekyou seemed to absorb and adapt the powers from Madara's, giving her Susano'o a similar appearance to his.
Hers basically had three faces wrapping around its whole head, so it had a pair of eyes facing in every direction. It had five arms, two in their regular position, one coming out directly below her right arm, and two arms coming out of the shoulder blade's that split at the elbow into two additional hands. (The latter two arms are the same as Madara's from canon, just coming out of its shoulders and longer.) Each arm could manifest a weapon, with the four larger arms each wielding a hand scythe, while one of the two small arms held a small fan, and the other held an orb of Amaturasu flame. All in all her Susano'o was a ferocious monstrosity, with three pairs of glowing yellow eyes when fully manifested, and this description wasn't even describing what it looked like when she fully manifested the perfect Susano'o.
Her powers with the Rinnegan were increasing too. She could easily switch between the different paths and could utilize each one in battle with immense effectiveness. She could also use most of the techniques, and had already mastered Shinra Tensei, Bansho Ten'in, and had learned how to perform Chibaku Tensei, and Tengai Shinsei, though both were extremely taxing right now and were still far from even being considered standard techniques in her arsenal, let alone being mastered.
Her spell weaving hadn't been neglected either. By now she had learned all of the spells up to fifth year, and was set to finish learning the rest of the Hogwarts curriculum by the end of third year. She could chain several dozen spells together in moments, launching barrages of powerful spells at an opponent before they could even think to counter. Remus had told her that next summer she could start to practice the dark arts, so she was soon going to have that added to her incredible list of skills.
She had taken the time to learn the elemental magic she had found in Slytherin's vault, and was quickly becoming very proficient in it. Out of the five tiers of elemental magic she had mastered all of the first tier abilities to the point where she could effectively weave them into her spell chains, along with various other DADA spells, transfigurations, and charms. The first tier elemental magics took the form of five basic manipulations of the elements.
Each one had essentially two forms for the first tier. Fire's ranged ability sent out small balls of fire the size of baseballs, and though small they each packed a punch and delivered a third-degree burn to unprotected flesh. She could also weave dozens of them into a single spell chain, allowing her to quite literally rain fire down onto an opponent. At close range the fire could be wrapped around her wand, turning it into a flaming dagger for use in melee, when used with her staff it made for interesting results. Water's ranged attack was similar to fire's, except each of the balls of water hit with incredible force, almost like getting hit with a twenty-pound dumbbell. Water's close-range attack was a blast of water that knocked back opponents. Wind at range would act like the cutting curse and send blades of wind at her opponent, while at close range it would act like the fire equivalent and turn her wand or staff into a razor-sharp instrument of death. Earth was her second favorite elemental magic, it only had one base ability and that was manipulating the surrounding earth. Basically, with just a wave of her wand she could force small pillars of earth to burst out of the ground and slam into opponents with deadly precision. Finally, there was lightning, which was by far her favorite. At close range lightning would wrap around her wand or staff, effectively turning it into a stun gun, hit an opponent with it and watch them get zapped; and at range each wave of the wand would send a bolt of lightning crashing into the target from the sky. Riley absolutely loved this ability, because with her speed and mastery over the skill she could drop almost a half-dozen bolts of lightning onto her opponent before they had the time to reconsider their life choices.
Kurama explained to her that her Animagus form looked like a fox because it drew from her connection to him. The reason for her not having any tails in her Animagus form was that she took the form of a fox demon, and because she didn't have as much chakra as the One Tails, yet she didn't have any tails. He also explained that because the demon soul she adapted to was that of a tailed beast she could look like whatever she wanted, but she had to have tails that measured her chakra levels.
Kurama also explained to her that she would still have an Animagus form even as a demon, since an Animagus took the form of one's spirit, not what they were. So while she could look like whatever she wanted when she became a full demon she would always be able to shift into a fox-like demon form, her true, pure form.
If there was one thing that Riley was irked about, it was how much she loved runes and seals. The only thing she hated about them was that they reminded her of her father. Minato was one of the few practitioners of both chakra and magic, where he excelled though was seals and runes. The man absolutely adored using them because they were essentially the same art, just used in different ways. Minato was a grandmaster at seals and a master at runes, at least he was when Riley left. He was probably a grandmaster at runes by now, considering how much he loved using them. The man was so skilled in both areas that he could use them in combat, either planting seals on opponents in battle or carving runes with immense speed during lulls in combat. Plus, very few ninja understood seals and even fewer understood runes, allowing Minato to mess with his opponents with incredible ease.
Still, Riley wouldn't neglect an art, even if it was one of her father's favorites, just like charms for her mother; she studied hard on runes and was quite proficient in them.
With the end of summer coming up, Riley had to choose her electives for third year. Being able to use Shadow Clones she picked all the ones she wanted to do. She settled for Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, and Study of Ancient Runes.
All in all, Riley had a productive summer, and things were going great until one day she walked into her house to find a table flipped over and Remus cursing and glaring at a newspaper.
"What's up Remus? Moony come out to play for a little bit?" Riley asked nonchalantly as she walked up to him.
Remus shot her a frustrated look but didn't say anything, instead he simply handed her the paper and ran a hand over his face in frustration.
Riley looked down at it and read the headline. "Sirius Black escapes Azkaban."
"Son of a bitch," Riley muttered darkly.
-Meanwhile-
"What is to be done about this, Amelia? That murderer needs to be found!" Fudge whined as he paced back and forth in his office. The only other three present were Umbridge, Amelia Bones as the head of the DMLE, and Dumbledore.
"We'll find him, Minister. I've got Aurors searching every nook and cranny, they'll find him," Amelia assured the Minister.
"This is bad. Do you know what will happen if word of his escape reaches the Elemental Nations?" Fudge stated with worry.
"If you are worried about how Minato will react, I'm sure the man has greater concerns than dealing with our issues," Dumbledore offered, hoping to placate the man.
"Are you serious? Last time the man practically threatened war with us if we didn't do something about Black. Now that he's free who knows what that damned Hokage will do. And don't say he won't find out... that man has spies everywhere," Fudge rambled with a paranoid look, causing Amelia and Dumbledore to share a glance.
"I'm sure that's not true," Dumbledore stated, only to hear a knock at the door.
"What?" Fudge called out.
The door opened to reveal his secretary, who looked whipped and meek. "Um... Minister... the ah... Hokage is here to see you…," she stammered nervously.
"I told you!" Fudge hissed with a bit of fear, shooting a look at Dumbledore, who seemed to be contemplating whether to be amused or frustrated at being proven wrong.
"See him in," Fudge ordered after a moment, and a few seconds later the fourth Hokage entered the room. Dressed in full Kage robes and flanked by two ANBU the Fourth was an imposing figure to be sure.
"It's been a long time, Minato, how are you?" Dumbledore greeted his old friend.
"I wish I could be better, Dumbledore sensei... however, I just received some upsetting news," Minato replied.
"See... I told you! Bloody ninja spying on everyone," Fudge grumbled.
"I don't need spies to keep an eye on Britain. All I need is my subscription to the Daily Prophet," Minato replied coldly as he pulled out the newspaper and slapped it down onto Fudge's desk.
"Now, Lord Fourth, there's no need to get upset," Amelia tried to placate the man.
"Upset? No. I was upset when one of my students was lost during the war. I was upset when I found out the man responsible for it all was a friend of mine. I was upset when the same friend betrayed my wife and I, and killed another of our friends along with over a dozen innocent people... and I was upset when my wife convinced me that letting him rot in Azkaban was better than killing him. Now I hear he has escaped... the man who is responsible, at least in part, for what has become of a young man that I saw as a son... No... I'm not upset, Madam Bones... I'm positively furious," Minato replied with such utter coldness that everyone in the room felt themselves die a little. Not even Dumbledore was immune to Minato's fury.
"I... I... understand," Amelia stuttered out.
"I'm glad we understand each other. Now, Minister... what do you know in regard to Black?" Minato asked.
"Not much. He slipped out of Azkaban through unknown means. We've not got a single clue where he could be headed," Fudge replied.
"So... what's the plan then?" Minato inquired.
"Not sure," Amelia answered.
"I think... maybe... I have an idea where he could be going," Dumbledore stated after a moment.
"Where?" Minato asked.
"Hogwarts," Dumbledore replied.
"Why would that monster head there?" Umbridge inquired.
"Two things are there, or will be there in a few days, that could be important to him," Dumbledore replied.
"What are they?" Minato asked.
"One is Remus Lupin... I hired him as our DADA instructor this year," Dumbledore stated, earning a hard nod from Minato.
"What's his importance to Black?" Amelia asked.
"He was one of Black's closest friends in school, like Peter Pettigrew. The only other friend he had is Lily, but she's too far away for him to easily reach," Minato answered with a dark look.
"What is the other thing he could be after at Hogwarts?" Fudge inquired.
"Narumi?" Minato asked with a sudden look of realization and worry.
"Yes... my assumption exactly," Dumbledore said with a nod.
"Who?" Amelia asked, giving the two a pointed look.
"Narumi Namikaze, though you might know her better as the newly named Riley Uchiwa Slytherin Gryffindor," Dumbledore stated.
"Wait... lady Slytherin? When did she become a Gryffindor?" Fudge asked with confusion.
"Godric's magic in Hogwarts chose her as his heir when she entered the Chamber of Secrets and slew a basilisk to save her friend and the school. The goblins have confirmed it... It looks like we'll be activating another ancient seat in the not so distant future," Dumbledore stated with a proud smile.
"My daughter fought a basilisk? Wait! What did you say her name was?" Minato asked with surprise.
"Riley... She had her birth name moved to her middle name, and took on the new name Riley. And yes, she did fight a basilisk... according to Severus, the fight was rather brief as she summoned a large quadrupedal creature to kill the great serpent," Dumbledore explained. Minato had an odd look on his face, something akin to pride and regret.
"Why is your daughter so far from the Elemental Nations?" Amelia asked.
"It's a long story. Look... Dumbledore, how likely do you think it is that Black will recognize her?" Minato asked.
"She wasn't even born the last time Sirius breathed free air, but he is a smart man... I wouldn't put it past him to see the resemblance," Dumbledore replied seriously.
"Fine then. Minister... I would like to place ANBU guards to watch over the school," Minato stated.
"Now hold on! Do you think we're incapable of protecting our own children from this man? We don't need your assistance, lord Hokage," Fudge blustered.
"Oh... well what was your plan to catch him, Minister? I didn't realize you had a special division devoted solely to hunting down traitors and rogues. I mean you have the Aurors, but they are a peacekeeping force, not trackers," Minato replied sternly.
"Well... I say we place Dementors around the school grounds... they'll recognize Black's scent and be able to locate him much easier," Fudge returned indignantly.
"Dementors? Are you serious?" Amelia asked in shock.
"Now, wait... I think I have a solution. We cannot have the Dementors enter the school, but we also cannot leave this up to shinobi alone. Black has committed crimes against both of our peoples, so let us work together to catch him. Have a squad of ANBU guard the interior of the school, have Aurors patrol Hogsmeade, and have the Dementors guard the grounds," Dumbledore suggested.
"Very well, but if he's caught, I want him kissed on sight. I won't have that madman running loose ever again," Fudge replied.
"Agreed. I'll give my shinobi orders to execute him if they capture him. Black is a twelve-year-old problem that needs to be dealt with," Minato acquiesced.
The two leaders shook hands and set things in motion for the following year.
-Later-
"I have two very important assignments for you. A man who has caused me much distress has broken free from prison in Britain, we believe he will try to infiltrate the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You ten will guard the school and keep an eye out for him. He's an Animagus with the ability to take the form of a Grim... a black, shaggy dog. If you see one, capture it on sight and utilize the seals I've provided you, they should reveal his true form. When you have confirmation on the target... kill him. Everything you need to know is in your assignment folders; remember, you will be in a school so no breakage, I don't want wounded children," Minato explained before two teams of ANBU black ops.
"What is the second assignment, lord Hokage?" one of the two captains asked.
"My eldest daughter is in this school. You are to learn everything you can about her, but do not approach her under any circumstances... the only exception to this is you, Dog," Minato ordered, looking at the other leader, a dog-masked captain.
"Very well, Lord Hokage," Dog replied formally.
"You may leave... except you, Dog. I need to speak with you," Minato stated, earning a nod, and the ANBU departed, all except Dog.
"What is it, lord Hokage?" Dog asked.
"Enough formalities, Kakashi... I need you to talk plainly," Minato replied tiredly.
"Very well, sensei," Kakashi answered as he removed his mask.
"I need you to do something special for me, Kakashi..." Minato began.
"What, Sensei?"
"I need you to keep Narumi safe... she changed her name to Riley, but supposedly she still looks the same, only a little older. It's been six years since she left, and apparently, she's done some amazing things since she's been gone, but I'm still worried what'll happen if Black gets his hands on her... I still remember what he did to Peter, that poor pudgy bastard," Minato explained with a tired look in his eyes.
"Forgive me sensei, but... I don't think she needs any help. She became a Chuunin of the Land of Fire at eight. She's a Jonin now. I'm pretty sure she can handle a man like Sirius Black," Kakashi replied.
"I know... it's just... it's hard not to worry... Look, just please keep an eye on her? It has to be you, you're the only one who would do it anyway without me asking, and she won't accept any help if she knows it's from me," Minato stated sadly.
"I'll keep an eye on her, Sensei, but I don't think you have much to worry about," Kakashi assented with a sigh.
"I hope so, Kakashi... I hope so..."
-To Be Continued-
Alright that's it for this chapter... third years about to begin, and the hunt for Sirius Black is about to commence. How will Riley react when she finds him? How will she react to her first encounter with a Dementor? What will the reunion between Riley and Kakashi be like, and how will Kakashi react to learning about Riley's sixteen year old girlfriend? Gotta read to find out... and yes Riley is pretty much unstoppable by this point, there's little that could be done to harm her now, so it'll be interesting to see what is done to try and hurt her. Also, just for those who plan on asking, Naruko will be graduating the leaf academy in towards the end of third year, remember they'd both only be thirteen.
Also I can't wait to see what a youki infused rasenshuriken looks like hehe!
Here's my choices for Daphne's bloodline, sorry guys but I'm sticking to my rule of being original, I want it to be unique, though that doesn't mean I can't go with something similar, so here they are:
Slokaoth Tamer: Basically Daphne has the power to infuse object with her chakra and control and move them from a distance ie Telekinesis.
Magician Girl Mirani:Daphne can manipulate her chakra to mimic anyone's she comes into contact with to fool any sensor. basically if she touched Snape, and then transformed into him, she could make her chakra feel exactly like his.
Madcow360:Daphne has the ability to draw heat out of things around her and make them cold. Like if she focused on a torch she could put it out by drawing the energy from it, or if she focused on water, she could freeze it by drawing all the heat out.
These three were my favorite, so head over and vote or leave a vote in the reviews. anyway JA NE!
