Okay here is the next chapter, let me know what you think and hope you enjoy. Oh and someone informed me that Hiruko was also the name of Sasori's puppet. I would like the clarify that I am talking about the Hiruko from the 'Will of Fire' Movie.

Broken Angel

Chapter 32: Beastly Explanations

It had finally happened, Riley had finally grown her second tail. It had been only about two weeks since the chuunin exams first round, however with Kamui, that two weeks was extended drastically. She now had her second tail, and surprisingly when it appeared it had the same modifications and characteristics of the one she already had. Riley quickly set about incorporating the new appendage into her arsenal. Having two extra appendages in taijutsu was an immense bonus, and on top of that, Riley was beginning to learn how to channel certain techniques through her tails.

The first she learned was the Rasengan since it didn't require handsigns, and to her glee, she managed to get it down after only an hour. Because the ends of the tail could split open, it acted a lot like a hand and thus it wasn't hard to create the Rasengan in a similar manner to just using her regular hand. The next technique she learned through her tails was the Chidori, which was harder, but again she got it down in only a couple hours. The main difficult came in the form of using handsigns, but than not channeling the attack through her hands and instead forming it at the end of one of her tails. Once she had managed it though, it became much easier to replicate on repeated attempts.

Being able to use these two technique's through her tails, basically turned both attacks into all range attacks, since her tails could extend near infinitely as long as she had the magic to sustain it. The longer the tails got the more magic it took to control them, and after about a mile in length, it began to actually take a toll on her to keep moving them.

During this time, Riley also began learning to fight better in her Animagus form. Now that she had two tails, her fox form also had two tails and was much bigger now. At full height in her Fox form, Riley stood a good twenty-five meters in height and her body was about a sixty meters long, while her two tails were nearly a hundred meters in length.

It was actually quite fun to learn how to fight in that form, since she could still use all her techniques. And while Kurama outmatched her in sheer strength while the two fought in that form, Riley was deceptively fast. Given her size, one would assume she would be slower, but they'd be wrong. Riley could move swiftly and agilely across the battlefield with little trouble even as a giant fox.

Riley's presence and force of will had also grown. In school now the shinobi mostly avoided her like the plague. They had no clue what she was but she felt more powerful now than anything they had ever felt. Riley didn't even bother trying to hide her power now. With the Fidelus active, no one could properly determine what she was, and by the time she reached her third tail, not even the Jinchuriki would be able to tell what she was anymore. Using demonic power was also becoming less of an issue as she could turn to the lie she had given to the Leaf, to offer as a source of demonic abilities.

Kurama had also taken the time to explain to her, that while the tailed beasts would 'know' what she was, they wouldn't know 'what' she was. What he meant by that, was that they would instinctively recognize her as one of their own kind. Just like how you couldn't make the rest of humanity forget that you were human, because when they look at you, they instinctively know that you are human. It's the same for the demons. Once she surpassed them in power, they would no longer know she was an archdemon, but they would always know that she was a dark creature of some sort, they'd just never be able to properly convey exactly what kind she was. It's why the Shukaku still feared her. It didn't know she was an archdemon, but it did know she was a dark creature, just like it, and that she was more powerful then it.

Since she was no longer bothering to hide just how much power she had, most everyone in the school was left trying to scrape their jaws off the floor. While she still maintained her human appearance, and still looked young, everyone could feel that her power had reached inhuman levels.

She was nearly twice as strong as she had been when she killed that giant three headed demon, about a month ago, and she wasn't anywhere near close to stopping. By the time she reached three tails worth of power, she would be six times more powerful then she had been that day, or three times more powerful then she was now.

No one, and I mean no one, who didn't have a death wish, messed with her now. The Gryffindors steered clear of her, like she was the walking incarnation of death itself. The Ravenclaws kept their heads down, and were very careful with their wording around her, each one was probably studying to be a master linguist, so as to not say anything that could ever be misinterpreted as negative, towards Riley. The Hufflepuffs, remained jovial in her presence, and while they were all fearful of her power, they knew or at least felt that she was friendly, and if they remained friendly, so would she. The Slytherins however, now worshiped the ground she walked on. Her friends had basically become superstars, by mere association with her. The whole of Slytherin house followed her with blind obedience. With Riley's level of power, they knew that no one could threaten her, and they all wanted to be on the side that was untouchable.

The teachers kept themselves reined in around her. They didn't allow their fear of her power to influence them. McGonogall was still kind and stern in her lessons, to Riley, as by now Riley would come to her with questions and theories on Transfiguration, and she wanted the wizened old witch's advice on new spells and modifications she had come up with. It was the same with Flitwick. Riley had many ideas for new charms and even combat spells, and she liked to spitball ideas with Flitwick whenever he was free. The charms teacher was always cordial with her, being a partial goblin, led him to having a great deal of respect and admiration for someone with Riley's level of power.

Snape was always stoic around her, and took a great deal of pleasure in making Naruko look like a fool, by comparing the two. In class he would sometimes quiz the students about certain aspects of potion making. Naruko had always been more about active magic, so while she knew about potions, she was by no means 'good' at them. Riley also enjoyed showing her sister up in this regard and this elevated her in the potion master's eyes. Snape was a firm believer that you never bend the knee to your lesser's. If you were better than someone at something, truly better, then you let them know it. He didn't believe that skill should ever be stifled, just to stroke some brat's ego.

While he was awed by Riley's power, he kept it to himself. He enjoyed Riley's inquisitive mind, and her understanding of potions. She was a prodigy when it came to magic and so very naturally gifted that it pleased him whenever she advanced far beyond the others. Her only competition in the potion brewing field was Draco, and his only competition, other then Hermione and Daphne, was Ino Yamanaka and Shino Aburame, both of whom came from clans of naturally gifted poison makers, so they had a steady hand when it came to the art.

Naturally Remus and Sirius were left in awe of her new abilities. Her skill in the dark arts was soaring immensely and she was very soon going to learn the three Unforgivable Curses. She studied hard and never let her grades fall, even as she taught her own class how to use and unlock chakra. She remained the undisputed top student in the school, due to how far she had advanced beyond her year. Within her year, she'd be tied with Hermione, and closely followed by Draco, Daphne, maybe a Ravenclaw or two, but due to her having learned the material of the higher years, that put her ahead in most people's eyes.

Dumbledore and the Ministry weren't in the dark about her changes either. While Riley wasn't hiding the level of her power, she did still keep the darker aspects of it reined in, as to avoid starting a panic over a possible up and coming dark lord. She noticed the wizened headmaster keeping a very close eye on her. She sensed his fear, and she suspected that he was worried what would happen if she ventured down a path of darkness. If only he knew just how well placed his fears were.

Beyond that, Riley's watcher had stepped up her game. She wasn't as clumsy as she had been when she was first stationed all those weeks ago. But she did still have her moments. Riley often wondered if she should invite the woman to talk, whomever she was, Riley liked her scent, it was a raspberry-ish scent that Riley enjoyed. She knew whomever this woman was, she didn't have a boyfriend, or a girlfriend… or really anybody. She never smelled like she had a partner with her. And thus Riley had to wonder if she was just a workaholic or if maybe she, just didn't have any friends, as her scent rarely smelled of anything other than her own shampoo.

Riley had also picked up a second follower, after the first round of the Chuunin exams. Turns out the One-Tails Jinchuriki had taken a liking to her… or maybe wanted to murder her… either way, Gaia had been following Riley a lot lately. She hid well, far better then her Auror body guard, but Riley could sense her turbulent emotions a mile away, as well as the occasional bloodlust, when her sanity started to slip.

On top of that, she noticed that whether people liked her or hated her, it seemed as if everyone was now suddenly attracted to her. She noticed all the boys eying her up, with lust/awe. She didn't really understand it, I mean, she knew she was beautiful, but literally every girl and guy in school was now sneaking peaks at her, whenever she walked by.

Things had become even more intense with her mates as well. The first time Riley returned from Kamui after she had gained her second tail, she had decided to spend the day sleeping, as while she didn't need it, it still felt good, and she awakened feeling relaxed and rested. A couple of hours into the night, she had heard a knock at her door. She quickly answered it and found Fleur, Daphne and Katie waiting for her. Each looked happy to see her, but upon actually seeing her and feeling her new level of power, something was set off in the three of them. It was almost a primal thing.

What followed was by far the most raunchy night of sex Riley had ever experienced or even heard about. It seemed that as she grew in power, so did the feelings conveyed by her emotions, thus when she kissed them now it equated to a finger drifting across their labia. Other actions caused an even greater feeling of pleasure. Light petting could push them to orgasm in minutes, and actual sex… no question, the most resilient was Fleur, and when Riley was actually focusing she could get her mates off in a minute at most, though usually it was just a matter of seconds.

Naturally Riley left all three of them with a fucked stupid look on their faces, after only an hour of vigorous love making. Which was kind of sad since Riley hadn't gotten off even once. She guessed that as her demon powers grew her capacity for things like sex increased and thus it took more for her to reach that peak of pleasure to cause an orgasm.

So, after that night Riley immediately began to focus her training on gaining more control of her emotions and Youki. She desperately needed to get 'that' under full control, otherwise by the time she reached three tails, she'd be able to get her mates off with just a kiss, and then when the hell would she ever get to have any fun of her own?

The next morning when Riley had asked them what had caused them to suddenly turn into mindless horndogs, after popping them on the heads repeatedly to get them to stop gawking at her with lust filled eyes, they were able to explain that for some reason, she looked unbelievably hot. Almost as if her aura was just screaming, 'fuck me!'

Riley ended up attributing that to her ascending to the second tail, though it didn't take her long to figure out the real reason for her change. After a while of contemplating her changes, she began to hear giggling from Kurama. She knew what his giggling meant. It meant that she had a question and he knew the answer, he just wouldn't say anything until she was forced to ask him. This being her sex life, she wasn't going to just allow her problem to persist so she caved and asked Kurama what was happening.

After getting a good laugh, much to Riley's annoyance, the fox explained that each of the ten overall Bijuu represented a negative aspect of the Ten-Tails itself, the original demon from which they all were created from. And that since she had the soul of a tailed beast, she was essentially adapting those personality quarks that the other Tailed Beasts had.

The first thing Riley asked was about the tenth tailed beast since Kurama had only ever mentioned himself and the other eight. He simply huffed in reply and told her about the Zero Tails, whom was technically the same strength as the One Tails, but because he was such a leech, figuratively and literally, Kurama had little respect for him. He did explain though that Riley had taken his traits first, before she grew her tail, and then Shukaku's after ascending to a full demon.

The Fox explained to her that the Zero Tails, was all about stealing others powers. In Riley, this manifested in her immense desire to essentially leach knowledge off of everyone. The fox explained to her that this was part of the reason for her immense thirst for knowledge and power. The One Tails was all about being two faced. Essentially he was the embodiment of being bi-polar. At one moment he was a brilliant seal master, and tactician, and in another he was wiping his own excrement on the wall of a cave while singing a pirate chanty.

When asked how she adapted to that, since she hadn't thought she was bi-polar. Kurama simply told her to look at her night time activities. During the day she was a kind, loving, friend, and teacher, but at night she was a monster whom slaughtered dozens of people. Accepting that explanation Riley inquired as to the others.

He told her that the Nibi represented lust and burning desire. Now, Kurama explained that not all of the traits she took from the other tailed beasts would affect her personality. In this case, her own lust and desire wasn't affected by ascending to the second tail, however her Youki possessed a heightened degree of… attractiveness? Maybe not the right word, but basically whenever she was around someone she liked in an intimate manner, her presence became that much more arousing to that person. Basically Kurama explained that, to her mates, it was like they were dogs, and she was a bitch in heat. This targeted aura enhanced the lustful desires of her mates, making her appear more desirable to them, no matter what state she was in, since it came from her magic, and wasn't a physical thing.

Understanding that, she asked about the others. The Three-Tails, represented a drifting boredom. The Three-Tails was basically the bijuu equivalent to a Nara. The Four-Tails was all about burning hot anger, basically rage. The Five-Tails was the opposite, it represented a cold kind of anger, the kind of simmering anger where you plan out each gruesome detail of your revenge. The Six-Tails was all about individualism, it liked to be alone and not have to deal with others. The Seven-Tails represented freedom, and the unabated desire to escape the chains that bind you. The Eight-Tails represented sarcasm and irony, basically double-meanings. And finally Kurama himself, obviously represented pride, and self-worth.

All of these were aspects of the Ten-Tails that had become infused into them, at one point or another. And because she was a tailed beast, she would adopt parts of them as well. Though unlike the others she would pass through all ten aspects, and then surpass them, how they affected her psyche and what traits she picked up along the way, would be anyone's guess.

Understanding all of this, Riley was able to move on with her life. She reined in her Youki to the maximum and her mates quickly settled down. Now, some people may wonder why Riley wasn't hiding her power anymore, the truth was, that she actually was hiding it, or at least she would hide everything past, the Two-Tail's level. See everyone saw her fight that giant demon, and they saw her do it without breaking a sweat, so she needed to settle for a level of power that people would believe. Now all of the sensors as well as the Kage would think this was her max power, and she simply stopped hiding.

Riley had to smile at the genius method to fooling the other ninja. They'd plot and plan to deal with Riley at her 'full' power, all the while, by the time they came up with something that they could use, she would have already made it to the third or fourth tail. Kamui, truly was a brilliant technique.

"You seem to be deep in thought?" Riley heard a voice say from behind her. She had been sitting up in the rafters above the halls, just thinking about the day's events. Her senses would have let her know if there was someone close by whom bore malicious intent, but since it was only Kakashi, he was able to sneak up on her.

"Just been thinking." Riley replied as the older Jonin stepped out of the shadows and sat next to her.

"About what?" Kakashi inquired as he fished out his favorite book and began reading.

"In just this school year so far… things have changed so much for me. I don't know when it was that I stopped feeling like a child. I guess it's just sorta struck me that I'm… not a kid anymore. The fight with that demon, reminded me of what I was. What I am. I've been living as a student here at Hogwarts for a long time now, and to retake my role as a shinobi, so suddenly… I guess it's just been a bit jarring. I find myself often reflecting on the way things have been going in my life." Riley explained to him. She always felt like she could talk to Kakashi about anything. He was the older brother she never had, and had always been there for her. As often as he could, at least.

"Well… I can understand the realization of growing up. It happens to all of us. I gotta say though, the power you're throwing around, is really making quite the statement." Kakashi informed her with a chuckle.

"I just got sick of hiding. Maybe if they know the truth, the shinobi will be more inclined to leave me alone. Maybe by showing them just how strong I am, they'll get it through their heads that I'm just too big an obstacle for them to try and overcome, and maybe then they'll just avoid me. I hope that's the case at least. I wouldn't want to have to beat the shit out of the Kage or anything to get my message across." Riley explained, before finishing with a chuckle.

"You sure made an impression with the Kage during your meeting a while back. I've heard some pretty interesting stuff coming from back home." Kakashi informed her.

"What kind of stuff?" Riley inquired, though she actually already had a good idea as to what he was referring to.

"Well, I hear that Iwa placed you in their bingo book with a kill on sight order. The Hokage was furious when he heard." Kakashi told her.

"I suspect he would be. I'm less likely to go back there if there are a people out to get me." Riley responded with a rueful expression.

"That might have something to do with it. But anyway, I hear rumors that the Raikage is planning to bring his brother out here the next time he and the Daimyo come. I hear it's for the Lightning Daimyo's protection, but we both know better." Kakashi added.

"Hmm… well that'll be fun. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be keeping a close eye on Iwa now." Riley told him.

"Good to hear." Kakashi responded with an eye smile.

"So… you hear that Sasuke will be leaving your squad?" Riley inquired.

"Yes… it seems the gods have answered my prayers. I seriously was beginning to think that he and Naruko were going to kill each other. You know they always used to fight, but ever since they were placed on a team together, they've gone past rivalries and straight to trying everything they can to outshine the other. It was really getting annoying and while they have worked well together on missions, as soon as they're out of danger, they go right back to fighting. Now I'm not saying I'm happy to see Sasuke go, but I can say that it'll be a helluva lot easier to train Naruko if she isn't constantly fighting with Sasuke, and vice versa. Plus maybe I can use this as an excuse to get Sakura under the care of a better suited teacher than me. I don't have the patience to deal with her fangirlish tendencies. She needs a kunuoichi to teach her." Kakashi stated, earning a nod from Riley.

"What happened to 'Mr. Teamwork means everything'?" Riley inquired with a smirk.

"I still think it's a vital lesson to be learned by all shinobi, possibly the most important lesson for a young ninja to learn, and as I said, they work well together on missions, they do have teamwork, but once they're out of danger and off assignment, they're constantly at each others throats. A part of me likes to write it off as just a friendly rivalry, but I can't help but think their focus on each other is a detriment to them when they're training. A shinobi must be introspective when working to improve themselves, training just to surpass your rival is now way to go about it, and will often leave with lesser results because of it. I think having them separate outside of missions will encourage that introspection, and allow them to focus on self-improvement, rather than just their rivalry. Sasuke and Naruko could accomplish great things with the potential that they have, they just need to grow up a little bit, and get more serious about their training." Kakashi explained to her, earning a slow, thoughtful nod from Riley as she took in his words.

"So you gonna try to just have Naruko as an apprentice?" Riley asked after digesting all that he had offered to her.

"Yeah… maybe… then again, I think master Jiraiya had planned on taking her on as a student. So they may all be off my hands soon, and I can go back to reading my book in peace." Kakashi replied with a happy sigh.

"Lazy ass." Riley muttered with a shake of her head.

Kakashi simply offered an eye smile in reply, before the two started to chuckle.

-Later-

Riley was walking through the empty halls of the school. It was past curfew, but no one would find her, no one ever found her. She had left Fleur, Daphne and Katie sleeping back in her room. Nothing sexual occurred this night. It seems they were all too embarrassed over having quite literally forced themselves on poor Riley the night before. It's not like Riley was opposed to it or anything but when you are on your knees literally begging for sex, you kind of have to accept the variable degree of shame that accompanies it.

So they all just decided to sleep together, which was the first time they had actually just laid together, kinda how married couples do. Riley found it peaceful to just lay in bed and sleep with her lovers around her. However… being a demon, meant that sleep had no hold over her. So now she was wandering about. She was wondering if maybe it was time for another trip out to rid the world of more evil, however she had heard through the grapevine that a massive manhunt was underway for the group of people responsible for the murders.

The muggles were calling it the work of a vigilante group, that operated with extreme prejudice and violence. The magicals thought it the work of a group of dark wizards, or even a resurgence of Death Eaters.

So Riley had to either lay low, or take her exploits further away. She decided to lay low for a while and allow the authorities to hunt for her. Eventually, since there was no evidence left behind, they would simply have to move on, and she would kill again. The more time passed the more she found that she enjoyed ridding the world of scum like those she'd killed already. She felt safer knowing they were gone, and with each one of their deaths, it encouraged more people to avoid crime and to stay within the boundaries of the law.

Thinking on the muggles she had killed, while they weren't in anyway skilled, their weapons were brilliant. Able to fire rounds faster then most chuunin could effectively dodge, they were a great threat to magicals and shinobi alike. She had always assumed it was the bombs and vehicles that were the reasons for magicals hiding their presence from muggles, though after fighting a few herself, she now understood that those were just additions. Guns were the major threat, and every muggle army had them. These tools of war made muggles a great threat even to their magical counterparts.

Riley had to wonder… what would an army with both kinds of weapons be like? One that wielded guns and magic. It would be an unstoppable army. One that would strike fear into magicals and muggles alike. It was a curious thought. Maybe she would build an army like that? Maybe train herself in the use of the muggles weapons of war?

It was a curious thought, one that stayed with her until she wandered back to her room. As she was approaching the dungeon she noticed a figure sitting outside the entrance.

"Luna?" Riley inquired as she noticed the young blonde waiting for her.

Luna glanced up at her and Riley instantly took note of three things, one was the smell of blood. Two was the way she held her arm in her lap, wrapped up by a sweatshirt. And the third thing was the black eye and cut she sported on her face. Her beautiful look had been marred by a very fine blade as the cut on her cheek was paper thin.

Anger was the instant reaction. Before Luna even had a chance to speak, she was nearly pushed to the ground as a weight filled the air. The anger and rage that filled Riley's youki as she quickly moved to her young girlfriend's side, almost made Luna pass out from fear.

"Luna… who did this to you?" Riley asked in such a dark and menacing tone that Luna's heart literally skipped a beat. The young Ravenclaw had never heard something so evil. She never could have imagined that such a simple sentence could be spoken with such malice.

It took her a moment but she eventually was able to collect herself enough to answer. "They wanted to send you a message. They wanted you to know that you aren't untouchable."

Riley stared at her for a moment, her Rinne Sharingan glowing red with anger and hatred, the tomoe spinning wildly.

"Who?" Riley asked as she reached out towards the arm that Luna had wrapped up. She didn't even need medical ninjutsu to know that it was broken.

"They wore masks… but I recognized their voices. I think they were from Iwa… or at least I think it was Iwa. It was the one with the rocks on the headband. There were three of them, and a man in the background. I think he was their sensei." Luna replied as she finally felt the weight of Riley's rage lift off of her.

"What did they look like?" Riley inquired as healing chakra surged from her hand and Luna let out a whimper as the bones in her arm popped back into place and began fusing back together. It took several moments for the bone to meld together and fully repair itself, once it did though Riley moved upwards to deal with the black eye and cut, before Luna answered.

"They all had brown hair. The one who broke my arm had greyish eyes. I noticed him giving you the evil eye, the other day." Luna informed her.

"I remember." Riley stated as she finished healing Luna.

"I cut his arm with a kunai." Luna stated.

"Good job." Riley stated as she picked Luna up off the ground and carried her into the dorm. She took her to her room and set her down on the bed. The other girls awoke at the noise and quickly noticed Luna's rather unkempt appearance.

"What happened?" Katie asked.

"I'll be back." Was Riley's answer, and it was at this moment the girls noticed the blood red eyes.

"Riley..." Luna began as Riley turned to leave.

"Don't! Luna… they'll pay for putting their hands on you! I don't care if you got a good shot in. No one touches what's mine!" Riley hissed in reply, some of her demonic features began to appear, especially her teeth, which caused the girls reel back in fear, all except for Luna whom continued to stare at her.

"I wasn't going to tell you to stop, or to not hurt them. I wanted to tell you to not get caught." Luna stated.

"I like her." Kurama hummed in approval

Riley stared at her for a moment, before smiling viciously and leaving the room.

"Luna… What's Riley going to do?" Daphne inquired as the girls crawled over to the Ravenclaw.

"She's going to murder someone for me. Some dead men who decided to jump me to send a message. I think Riley's going to be mad at me for letting someone other than her touch me." Luna replied as she flexed and un-flexed her now healed arm.

The girls shared looks, before glancing at the odd girl. Luna had always seemed so at peace with the world, almost like nothing in the world surprised her. Then it hit them… someone had done something to Luna, and out of all of them… Fleur knew best what Riley was going to do to them.

In the rest of the school, the sleeping people began to thrash as nightmares overtook them. The rage and anger of a pissed off archdemon echoed through the school, and to those whom were awake at this hour, the feeling of dread, was unmistakable.

-To Be Continued-

Alright another short chapter let me know what you think, and no Luna is not that weak, she was jumped… or maybe she let herself get jumped, you'll see in later chapters. Anyway time for the demon to be loosed on the school for the very first time! Can't wait JA NE!
