Review Response:
Nathair1: Yeah, Hatsume was my inspiration for Coco's behavior. Yeah, they should have burned it, but they were worried about being bad parents.
Bednarczykmiki: Don't worry, they will.
StrongGuy159: Thank you.
MichaelTheFox: We have new artwork that you asked for on deviantart, check it out when you get a chance. You will see how Naruto acts after hearing Jayjay's story.
Gamelover41592: YOU don't even know the HALF of it. It is about to get real.
Tylerk6014: I am confused at what you are asking.
Mando-Vet: It's good to be back. Thank you.
DaftMerc39: Fishcake is going to be the nickname Millie uses for Naruto. Marchosias and Stolas are from The Lesser Key of Solomon. I don't know if Vivzie is going to use him in Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel, part of me prays she doesn't so this story can keep being unique.
Miguel: Hm, lost track huh? Not what I am hearing from the others.
Spark681: Loona should have been the one to tell him, yes.
Wolf Mike: I don't know, let's find out together.
Ice: Nice. I'll try to figure out how to use this character in this story or a different one.
Nicholas: Yeah… be careful for what you wish for man.
ShadowBloodedge9396: We shall see of Loona/Verosika fight over Naruto. It is Hell, different morals, so anything could happen.
Blank Lord: Thank you.
Gaby11: Thank you.
AbyssWolf198: Well, it is hard to have confidence and faith in my work when my mom told me to never express myself and my Christian Private schooling made me feel isolated from my peers because I liked anime… was the only one who did. Yeah, I remembered Marchosias as a dog demon and came up with the backstory literally last chapter. Pretty good for a spur of the moment thing.
AerosDragonnewt99: Thank you, and I will.
Jebest4781: Prepare yourself, this chapter… gets a bit dark.
False Sense of Insanity: Cool name, btw. Thank you.
MeteorElDrago: Hey, been a while. Yeah, Naruto is being… a crybaby. That's myfault because… I am a crybaby myself when I feel like I have been overwhelmed and betrayed. My life experiences are what fuel Naruto's reactions and what not. Sorry for that.
The Sith'ari: Thank you for all of that. It will help me with the future of this story.
Silvanium: Well, when you hit rock bottom and all that jazz.
Autobot-Wolfsketch: No, his parents were human. Everyone likes the fact Jayjay and Vortex are informing Naruto about the Lycanthrope clan.
Guest: You'll see when I get to it.
Umbra Lycan: Neither do I, but it is life, push and pull of good and bad.
StarDustDragonknight: Why do you feel bad for Lucifer?
Gallantmon228: What was that? I can't hear you over all the other things being said?
Piranha: Yeah, his design is pushing that ice theme hard.
KingDoomer: Boo1194, games, Fanfiction, internet, and porn saved me through the pandemic, until I had to go back to work, where I GOT covid.
Beetle Bailey: LOL, I will give them a shot.
Guest: HEEEEERE you go.
Guest: Alright, I'll give you more… for two reviews. I joke, LOL!

Chapter 18: From Darkness comes Light
"Why do you know all of this?" Naruto asked after several minutes, his voice sounding strained.
Jayjay smiled sadly.
She sat up and lifted up her shirt, revealing her bra, which she pulled the cup off.
Naruto covered his eyes.
"What are you doing?" He asked in embarrassment.
"It's okay, just look." Vortex told Naruto, not liking it, but knowing it was necessary.
Naruto cracked his fingers open, eye glancing at Jayjay's breast.
His hand fell as his mouth opened agape; eyes wide in shock.
On Jayjay's breast, which was shown without hiding anything, was a dark blue bite mark, similar to the one on Naruto's shoulder, which was black.
"I know because…" Jayjay said in embarrassment of letting another man look at her breast, which she covered herself now that the need to display was over. "I am also a Lycan-turned, and like you, I have a story…"
Flashback…
Jayjay Burdell (Age 18) eyes opened abruptly as she was harshly shaken awake.
"JAYJAY!" A high-pitched voice said happily, drawing her attention.
Before her was her little brother, Richard 'Dickie' Burdell (Age 16).
He was six feet three inches tall with a buzz cut, with a heart shaved into the back of his head. He wore baggy pajama pants and a t shirt that had Woody the Cowboy on it with Buzz Lightyear.
"Let's go to Disneyland!" He said happily as he shook her some more.
"Yeah, Dickie, we will go to Disneyland, but not today." Jayjay said calmly as she got up.
Her long hair had been bleached and dyed light pink, wearing a large shirt and shorts to bed.
She was short, at five foot two inches, and was more on the husky side of body shapes, with bigger than moderate breasts and hips.
"Let's go to Disneyland." Dickie urged, his tone still happy, but having a small amount of force in his words.
"Buddy, we will go. Just not today." Jayjay told her brother as she stood her ground, the light in their shared bedroom streaming in. "Today is my graduation."
"LET'S GO TO DISNEYLAND." Dickie urged, towering over his sister with a small scowl forming as he wasn't getting his way.
Jayjay held her hands up and slowly lowered them.
"Hey, hey…" She said softly, pulling Dickie from his irritation slightly. "Why don't you go brush your teeth while I get up. Then we can go get breakfast. Okay, Buddy?"
"Okay!" Dickie said as he turned on his heel and entered the bathroom connected to their room.
As he brushed his teeth, Jayjay got dressed, slipping on some red overalls, a single legging that had some tears in it, and a feathered earring on her right ear.
After helping Dickie get dressed, blue jeans and a new shirt (Mickey Mouse themed) the brother and sister headed downstairs for breakfast.
"Morning, Bluejay, Buddy."
"Morning, dad." They answered.
Richard 'Dick' Burdell was a short man, five foot five inches, but was build top heavy.
He looked like a miniature version of his son, but shaved head and clean shaven. He had a muscular build while he wore a suit and tie.
"Got a hard day ahead at Teamsters?" Jayjay asked as she sat Dickie down at the table and moved to make them breakfast.
"Yeah, my guys and I have to watch the debate today, but I'd rather just lift weights today." Dick answered as he drank his coffee.
"Egg sandwich, egg sandwich~" Dickie sang as he watched Jayjay pull out the eggs and bread.
Smiling, Jayjay cooked egg sandwiches and poured some milk and orange juice.
"Oh, Jayjay, there you are."
"Morning, Delila." Jayjay greeted her stepmother.
"Can you take the trash out before going to your grad practice?" Delila asked as she moved through the living room, grabbing her jacket and purse as she prepared to leave for work.
She was native Sicilian, wearing glasses and having short business cut hair while she wore a work suit.
Jayjay nodded.
Delila smiled as she waved goodbye to her stepson, kissing her husband, and was out the door.
'Another day, in my life.' Jayjay thought, putting Dickie's plate before him, Dickie already grabbing the sandwich before she could put it down. '~In my Life, I loved you More…~
Humming the classic Beatles song, Jayjay ate her breakfast, took out the trash, and headed to school with Dickie, as she was his care provider.
School…
"Wow, look at that!" Dickie said excitedly as he pointed at almost everything he saw.
"Yes, it is a beautiful tree, Dickie, can you please sit while you look?" Jayjay asked with a smile, trying to hide her irritation from the snickering and insults Dickie was getting.
Dickie didn't attend school, but he could not be left alone at home without someone to keep an eye on him.
Thus, with the school's permission, he attended Jayjay's Graduation Practice.
"Bluejay, let's go to Disneyland." He said as he took her hand, excitement in his eyes blinding Jayjay.
'Oh, god, not again, and not here.' Jayjay thought as she chuckled. "Sorry, Buddy, but we have to wait."
"I don't want to." Dickie said as Jayjay's line stood up, being their turn to practice the walk. "I want to go to Disneyland."
Jayjay could hear more snickering from her… 'peers' as she tried to keep Dickie under control.
"I know, Buddy, but we can't right now. Don't you want to see your sister graduate?" She asked him as her line started to walk, taking Dickie's hand and he walked with her, before they stopped to wait, the vice-principal announcing the names.
"I WANT to go to Disneyland." He said sternly with his eyes watering.
"Jayjay Cassandra Burdell."
"Dickie, we can't right now." Jayjay spoke through her teeth as she and Dickie made their stride, laughs being heard and harassing comments made. "Now, please STOP!"
Dickie pulled his hand out of Jayjay's…
And THREW himself on the ground before releasing a high-pitched scream.
"I WANT TO GO TO DISNEYLAND!" He wailed, tears streaming out of his eyes as he kicked and hit the ground.
Jayjay's eyes widened as she felt her face become white hot from embarrassment.
"Dickie!" She said as she knelt down and tried to get him to focus on her, but his flailing made it impossible.
Twenty minutes passed before Dick arrived and took his son to his work.
On the verge of tears, Jayjay finished her walk, her throat cracked and dry as she felt humiliated.
Hours Later…
"You don't want to go to your graduation?" Delila asked over the phone.
"No, I don't." Jayjay choked out as she was at home, in her bathroom curled into a ball. "I… I… after this morning…" Her hand over her eye as she could barely get air into her lungs with the excessive amounts of exhaling, she was doing. "I can't…"
"Sweetheart, I know Dickie is a handful, but this shouldn't…"
"Please, don't…" Jayjay interrupted her stepmom. "I just can't anymore. I don't want to be his caregiver. I just want to become a singer…" She wiped her eyes, taking a heavy breath.
Delila stayed silent.
"You know I don't mean that." Jayjay said as she calmed down. "I love him, he is my baby brother. But…"
Her emotions began to feel overwhelming again.
"I understand, Jayjay. I'll call Dick and ask him if we can call the school and let them know you won't attend and then all of us will go out to eat, sound good?" Delila offered.
She may not have conceived, carried, or birthed Jayjay, but blood related or not, Jayjay was her daughter.
Jayjay wiped her nose.
"I would… Like that." She answered, smiling slightly.
Evening…
"Cheers." Dick, Dickie, Delila, and Jayjay said as they ate at a Cattleman's.
"I want to watch The Pagemaster, Macaulay Culkin is great in it. I love him!" Dickie said in excitement as Delila pulled out a small gift.
"Yeah, Buddy, Culkin is a great actor." Dick told his son, hugging him with one arm, father and son smiling like goofs.
"Congratulations on Graduation, Bluejay." Delila said as she handed Jayjay the gift.
"Thanks, you didn't need to…" Jayjay said as she read the card, closing it before opening it.
It was a digital recorder.
"This way…" Delila said with a proud smile, hope in her eyes. "You can sing and record them?"
Jayjay was touched, her eyes watering as she hugged Delila.
"Thank you." She said as she was hugged back.
"Anytime."
As Dick gave Jayjay his gift, a seat was vacated, the once user paying for his meal, but his eyes on Jayjay.
Skip, One Week…
"Phew…" Jayjay said as she sat down on a bench with Dickie.
She was wearing running shoes, shorts and a sports bra as Dickie wore shorts, t-shirt, and shoes.
"Here." She said as she handed Dickie a bottle of water.
"ThanGPHD!"
Dickie and an unknown man hit the ground, the man's earbuds falling out of his ears.
"Oh, shit!" He shouted as he scrambled to get up, grabbing his earbuds before realizing he had run into someone. "I am so sorry, I was listening to Gorillaz and I stopped paying attention. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I am fine." Dickie said as he stood up like nothing happened, despite his arm and leg being scraped. "Bluejay, I want to go see the new Toy Story movie!"
"Wow… okay…" the runner said as he looked at Jayjay.
"Yes, Buddy, we will go, in a little bit, okay?" Jayjay said, causing Dickie to jump for joy. "Sorry, but yes, Dickie is fine. He is built tough… uhm…"
"Where are my manners." The guy said bashfully, his cheeks turning red. "I am Ryan Slater."
Flashback Pause…
"Is he…" Naruto interrupted, his guts tightening as he had a bad feeling about this… Ryan Slater.
Jayjay slowly nodded.
"He is the person who turned me." Jayjay said as Vortex pulled her close, snuggling with her to comfort her.
Her ears twitched as she smiled, feeling safe and secure in Vortex's embrace.
"But it was the beginning of summer still." Jayjay continued. "We continued to meet each other every other day, because Dickie and I jogged together. I…" A scoffed laugh left Jayjay's lips. "I was smitten."
Flashback Resume…
Two Months Later…
"You didn't?" Ryan asked in laughing shock.
"I did!" Jayjay laughed as they ran together, Dickie being taken care of by Dick, who was off from work. "When we were grappling, I ended up farting in Dickie's face and he ended up puking in front of all the karate instructors."
"Didn't you feel bad?"
"Yeah…" Jayjay said as they slowed down, her eyes becoming solemn and sad. "I love him, but…" Deep breathe. "He is a lot. I wish nothing but the best, but it is so hard to have a life outside of him. I want to be a singer, but I can't as long as I am taking care of him."
Ryan stayed quiet as Jayjay caught her breath and wiped her eyes.
"Sorry about that." She said with a reassuring smile. "I'm fine now."
"It's fine." Ryan said as he smiled. "It's better to let it out or else it just builds before…" He put his hands together, before making a circle and pushing them away, his fingers moving outward. "Boom."
Jayjay giggled.
"You're so bad." She said playfully as she smacked his arm.
"Also, you sing?" Ryan asked with a mischievous smirk.
Jayjay's eyebrow quirked.
"Yeah, why?"
"I doubt it."
"Oh-ho, you doubt me?" Jayjay said as she posed like Dio.
"I Doubt you until you sing for me." Ryan said as he walked like Jotaro.
"Then by all means, be prepared to be blown away." Jayjay said as she cleared her throat.

"~There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain~"
Ryan sat down, watching Jayjay sing, her hands folded before her, eyes closed.
"~All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all~"
She spun on her heels, arms open with her hair following her as she did, Ryan's eyes widening in awe, his heart picking up its pace with a pink shade dusting his cheeks.
"~But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new~"
Jayjay closed her arms, looking at her palms, a sad look in her eyes.
"~Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more~"
Jayjay looked up to the sky, seeing birds flying, bringing a soft smile to her face as Ryan got up, and walked up to her.
Her breath was taken when Ryan got close, looking in her eyes, causing them to blush more.
"~Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more~"
Ryan slowly reached up and shakily cupped her cheek.
"~In my life I love you more~"
Their lips graved each other, before his arms wrapped around her and they kissed passionately.
Flashback Pause…
"That is how we started dating…" Jayjay said as she shuffled, feeling uncomfortable but doing her best to ignore it.
Naruto sat there across from Vortex and Jayjay, just listening to every word.
"Dad wasn't happy I was dating an olderman, but we were happy." Jayjay said in a disgusted tone. "If only I knew… if ONLY I knew that façade… he was calm, he was patient. He never rushed me. We would set up dates and then I'd have to cancel to take care of Dickie. Ryan NEVER got angry, he was… so understanding. It made me fall for him more…"
Jayjay snarled, angry tears in her eyes as she remembered the worst.
"We dated for two months, and when the moment felt right…"
Flashback Resume…
"AAAAUH!"
Jayjay violently orgasmed, but it was interrupted when Ryan bit her breast…
A little to ha…
Enough to sink his teeth into her breast.
"Ow, Ryan…" Jayjay screamed as she pushed him off of her, cupping her bleeding boob as he stood up, looming over her. "What was that… for…"
Something was different… it was terrifying as a sick smile and look appeared in his eyes.
"Well," he said as he chuckled, getting off of the bed and opening the night stand, pulling out a cigarette. "It was fun."
"Wait, I thought you were asthmatic?"
"DID I say that?" Ryan asked as he looked at his cigarette in shock before shrugging. "I lied."
"What…" Jayjay said as she grabbed the blanket, covering herself.
Her eyes felt heavy and her breast… it was like it was on fire.
"Yeah," he said as he smiled a sharp toothy smile. "I lied about everything. My name, my hobbies, my love, and my care for you… all… a… Lie!"
His teeth became sharp before he transformed, revealing his true Lycanthrope form to Jayjay.
Jayjay screamed in horror, attempting to run toward the door.
"I enjoy a good hunt." WHover this guy was said in a dirty tone that made Jayjay feel violated by the words alone as she grabbed the doorknob…
Only to feel his hands grab and then throw her to the ground, his hands on her shoulders, keeping her down.
Flashback Pause…
Jayjay couldn't say anything, gripping Vortex's arm tight enough to break it.
She shook as she breathed slowly.
"Want me to continue?" Vortex asked her, dabbing her eyes carefully.
Jayjay slowly nodded.
Flashback Resume…
(Johnny Cash: In My Life)
Vortex was walking home, a bag of groceries in hand as he held as umbrella in the other as the rain poured down.
He heard a splash and thud sound as he passed by an alleyway.
"It was fun, Jayjay, but it is time for us… to break up." Vortex heard.
Turning, Vortex caught a glimpse of a portal closing above a limp, partially transformed Jayjay, unconscious and clearly…
Flashback End…
"OKAY, OKAY, I DON'T…" Naruto shouted, waving his arms. "I don't want…"
Vortex nodded.
"After… that…" he said as he pulled Jayjay closer. "I took her to my home, where dad and I looked after her. She woke up after she fully transformed, and she panicked."
"That is putting it lightly!" Jayjay shouted, her hands on her head as she curled into the fetal position. "I… I… I couldn't bare it. Drinking, drugs…"
Jayjay remembered spending a month locked into her room, barely eating, but heavily consuming alcohol and edibles to the point she blacked out, waking up in a hospital with Vortex and his dad beside her, worried.
"He ruined me… He took everything from me…" Jayjay whimpered, her tail curling around her.
Naruto shed a few tears.
He… what the fuck could he EVEN say.
The woman sitting across from him had so much bad happen, but was still happy.
"Eventually…" Jayjay sniffled, wiping her eyes as her breathing evened out. "Tex helped me, bit by bit for a few years, and over that time…" She smiled as she snuggled into him. "We fell in love. Tex's dad owns a bar, and I work there as a singer… so, I guess… despite all the fucked-up shit…" She laughed dryly, but smiled several times brighter. "I was able to sing for people. I ended up achieving my dream."
Her eyes dried, still red from the tears she shed, but she looked at Naruto, touching her heart.
"I told you my story, care…" She wiped her nose. "Sorry, care to tell us your story?"
Naruto bit his lip.
He didn't want to.
But having heard Jayjay tell her story…
"Yeah, I will." He said as he crossed his legs. "I'll tell you, my story. But after that, I want to ask a few questions about… well, the differences between hellhounds? Right, hellhounds?"
Vortex laughed.
"Yeah, we will." He said as Naruto shuffled before he told them his story.
Chapter 18, DONE!
What's up my Bitches, my Bros, and my Nonbinary Hoes?
Before anything goofy and playful, I must thank Boo1194. My girlfriend as let me used her life experiences to write Jayjay's Backstory on how she was turned. It was tough for her, but she continuously let me know that it was okay to tell her story through Jayjay. I would like to ask that you, if you follow her on Deviantart, not mention it. Please.
Thank you babe, I love you, so much.
A Moment of Silence, please.
