Oh gawd, what a long update, huh?

I'm sorry about that. Family problems, computer crashed, and I lost my notebook that holds this story. So im trying my best!!

Well, hopefully this chapter will clear some more things up. I can't wait till we get to this one part, where this happens, and that!! It's going to be awwssoomme!!! xD

Okay, on with the story….

I don't own!!!

[1] think of hollow Ichigo's eyes. All the white in his eyes is black, and any color is white.

------------------------------------------- - - - -- - - - - - - - - -

`Plip, plop'

`Plip,plop `

`Plip'

The moment that “plop” didn't come after the “plip”, I felt as if fire was spreading from my chest, to the rest of my body.

And slowly at that.

What does it mean? Will I die, here and now, in this pathetic state? Am I going through a stage in my new life? These questions and more repeated over and over in my head. But one struck hard.

`This is the same feeling I had when Kyuubi…”

Is he alive? Is he here? Has he come for me?

No, you stupid wretch.

Damn it. That stupid whore is back.

Why, I never took my leave!! And you know it was I, who saved your fucking ass countless times!

Yeah, then you went out and fucked every demon you saw!

It was mating season, what can I say? It was your fault you couldn't release those putrid priestess powers.

It was only a day after I-

Completed the ceremony with the “Almighty Kyuubi” and became a Damned, without knowing what you had gotten yourself into.

I hate it when she's right.

And the funny part is, you still don't know what a Damned is!! Hilarious!

The fire was still on me, but pain is just a signal. A message. And you can always block them.

Kyu-chan taught me that.

Those days were hard. Being a priestess, a human, and a demon at once wasn't all that great. Training had to be done, each and every day. That lasted for about two years, until I could get total control of my beings. Then, that's when she appeared in my head.

And, again, saved your sorry ass.

I am, supposedly, a Damned. To my knowledge, a Damned is a being with three or more parts, demons, sides, mixes of said three.

There are half-breeds and Hybrids, then there are Damned. The lowest of the low, but also the strongest of the strong.

But only for a while.

I had my priestess powers, my Demon side, and my human conscience. My demon and priestess side are constantly clashing. And my demon side is always threatening my human, while my priestess is protecting my human.

And now I have a weird and dark perspective view on the world.

I even scare my self.

Then, me. I guess I'm just the mix of them. Like, thirty-three percent of each in one. But sometimes I raise certain levels. Example, after five years when I got into the cave, I raised my demon side to eighty-five percent, so I can last longer, and age slower.

Right now I'm split into thirds of all my sides. But soon, depending on the auras of the people who I confront, that will change.

I opened my eyes, but I couldn't tell if they were or not, because all I saw was black.

But then, a little, white light pierced through the back.

They're open alright.

And it was getting harder and harder to block that signal.

Aw, little kit can't stand whittle fire?

I could already feel my fangs protruding through my gums, and piercing my lips.

Why don't I take care of that for you?

The fire got stronger, and hotter, and was spreading faster, and faster.

The light got bigger, and I stood up. My raggedy kimono reaching only mid-thigh.

My eyes stung, and I knew they were changing from the bright-blue, to orbs of black with a white pupil. [1]

A tingle went down my spine, and I could feel my tail grow out. It was a painful experience, but I seem to deal.

It was getting harder and harder to breathe.

And I can feel myself lose control over my body.

Twinkle, twinkle my little star. How I wish my death wasn'tfar.

The light got bigger, and bigger. And the fire got colder and colder.

Then, I was back in the little room in my mind, when “I” go on a killing spree.

Like the blood that pools around. My freedom is, not but found.

Good thing I don't know anyone this time.

---------------------------- - ------ -- - - --------------- - - - ----- - - - - - -

Books, books, and books.

That's what her life was, and is all about.

Sesshomaru-sama always taught, and taught, and taught.

Then Kyu-chan-sama came with Kagome-sama, and taught her even more!

But now, all she can do now is watch what transpires with Naruto. The poor boy.

He's probably going through something horrific right now, and doesn't even know why!

Placing the last book on the shelf, Rin made her way out her shop, locked up, and headed towards her apartment.

Isshin is probably waiting for her arrival.

Judging by the chaotic auras coming from Isshin's general direction, the barrier has already been torn down, and the “reunion” is about to begin.

She could already see her apartment, just down the road. And so, Rin picked up the pace. Not wanting to miss what is about to transpire.

`I can't wait! These wrinkles and back-aches have gotten on my nerves! Just wait, Kagome-onee-sama!'

-------------------------------------- - - - - -- ---------- - - - - -- -

His heart-beat was way too fast, his fever is getting worse and worse, and he's gone into cardiac arrest twice in just one hour. Something is terribly wrong here.

“Kakashi-sensei! Ice, we need ice!”

Sakura ripped off Naruto's jacket, trying to get some cool air on him. Her hands were getting clammy, she was getting worried for her best-friends' life, and it just got extremely cold out here!

Helping a patient in the middle of a forest, with hardly any supplies, was kind of hard. But she was trained for this.

“Ah, Sakura-chan? Ice?”

Looking over to Kakashi, she saw that he used one of is jutsu's to create ice. Hard, rocky ice.

“Crush it, and put it in these.” She handed over ripped pieces of Naruto's shirt.

But then, he suddenly, stopped. No fever, no nothing.

Bending over, Sakura checked his pulse.

Nothing.

“Shit!”

She got ready to perform CPR, but was interrupted by fire. Burning fire.

“Gah!” Sakura was thrown over to a nearby tree from the force.

“Tch!” And so was Kakashi.

Kakashi got up, quickly, and made his way over to Sakura, while trying to avoid the fire coming from Naruto's general direction.

Sakura was fine, just a bump to the head, and probably too much stress.

He looked over to his left, trying to pinpoint where exactly the fire was coming from.

But, when he did, he noticed: this wasn't any fire at all.

But the chakra flow of the Kyuubi.

He hurried and bent over Sakura, using himself as a shield from the un-coming explosion.

`Damn. This is going to hurt when I wake up.'

------------------ - - ------------------- - - - - ----------------- - - - - -

Red, water, red, water, red, blood.

What is this? Where am I?

Kyuubi?

What is it, kit?

Why…are…you?

Guess I stay with you `till she gets here.

She? Who? Kagome?

Sigh. Long before this ninja era, with all your `jutsu's' and `chakra', was an era of demons, priestesses, ghost, and cursed jewels.

Demons? Like, you? And Gaara's-

Yes. Back then, the nine of us were like the Hokages. Kings, if you will. I, of course, was the strongest. But, there is always a time where kings fall, and get replaced.

What happened?

I got too damn cocky. Something you should never do. Looking back on it, I'm actually quite grateful. If it weren't for my cocky attitude back then, I would have never met my dear Kagome.

Kagome? There's that name again!

Haha, I see you are eager to know, dearest kit.

Well, if-ow! Ow! Ow, ow o wow!

Hm, I guess you will learn this story from another one, then.

Shit! Fuck! Daaamn it!! What the hell?!

“Naruto! Naruto!”

----------------------------- - - - ------------ - - ------------------- - - - - - - - -

His body was seizing, at least, that's what it looked like from thirty-feet away.

He looked, so demonic. His eyes were so red, like fresh blood. His mouth was wide open, as if he were screaming, yelling, roaring. His nails, were no longer nails, they were claws.

It was wonderful.

And with that red fire-like chakra all over, added even more to the scene.

I knew my tail was already swishing in excitement. It was just so, beautiful!

Too bad Kagome can't see this! Oh, wait, she can! Ha!

Licking my fangs, which were itching to bite into my loves' neck, I made my way to him.

He caught my scent, I know. He suddenly looked over to me, and I bet was enticed by my black orbs.

I picked up the pace.

He got on his two feet.

I jumped over a log.

He smirked. And was no longer there.

“Let her out.”

His warm breathe tickled on my neck. But I just narrowed my eyes.

“Why would you prefer that wretched woman over me?!”

His voice had the dark tone to it, even in a whisper.

“Because you don't love me like she does. Now let her out.”

Damn it.

I did, and I knew I did when I was back in that little corner of her mind. Where that petty human and that annoying priestess resided.

- - - - - - - - - - - ------------------------- - - - - - - - -

She let me out?

The moment I breathed in the air, I almost cried out.

“Hello, Kagome dearest.”

I immediately turned around.

But, this wasn't Kyu-chan. It was just a boy. Who had a lot of similarities.

I jumped back about five feet. Maybe a little more. I don't care right now.

“Who the hell are you?!” My voice sounded to strained, and tired. I cleared my throat after I heard my self.

“Aw, come on Kaggy-oh! You don't remember me? How sad.”

Okay, Kyu-chan only calls me that. So how did this guy know it?

Oh. Wait. Yeah.

Didn't that old man mention something about this?

()()()()()()(())

I can faintly see what was happening outside, with all the fire on me. But it seemed like they were all humans. Mostly monks. A few priestesses. I tried honing down my demonic aura, to more priestess, but I was failing. The fire was making it hard to concentrate.

All the humans scattered, yelling something about “demon has been freed”. Well, I guess that's true.

But it was frustrating that I couldn't put my demon away.

But then the fire stopped, and it only stayed around my neck. And “Demonia” was sent away. She hates it when I call her that.

“Kagome-sama! How nice it is to see you! Won't you come join me?”

Okay, usually, when some demon is released from a cave that had a barrier around it, you run. And get a demon slayer, or something. Not invite them in for a cup of tea.

So when this monk, who oddly enough reminded me of Miroku, invited me in as if I was a long time friend for tea, it was very, very odd.

“Come now, don't be shy! I have wonderful news for you!”

Well, I'll be damned-no pun intended-.

So I went with the monk. Of course, still cautious of my surroundings. My hand near me hip where I knew my dagger was hidden.

It seemed like I was at a village. Like back in the feudal era. Every one wore those kimonos and sandals. But there were some oddly clothed people. They looked like, ninjas?

Wow. Didn't see that coming.

Now that I take it in, a lot of the people were dressed that way. And they had these weird headbands. I wonder why?

“This is the same place as where you began your journey.”

So, if this old-man was right, then this is where the Bone-Eaters Well is.

“It was destroyed.”

I looked at him with a “what the hell?” look. You know, that look you give when someone tell you something that seems totally un-real? Yeah. That one.

“Ha, ha, ha! The well! You were thinking of it, were you not? It was destroyed in the battle of humans and demons.”

That must have taken place after my confinement, since I don't recall such a battle ever being placed.

“I was after your confinement. Kyuubi went ballistic one day and ruined the peace treaty between the humans and demons. At least, what was left of it.

“Left of it?”

“So she can talk! But, yes, left of it. You know how demons and humans could never live side by side forever. Kyuubi didn't know you would come back, back then. Every new moon he would feel the pain the worse, for some reason.”

At that, I bet all my money (which wasn't much) that I blushed. On a night of a new moon, was when Kyuubi and I had,' proved our love for each other'. Yeah.

“But after about three-hundred years of that, he just lost it. And he took it out on the village he was staying at. Konoha. Where he still is, but-“

“You mean Kyu-chan is alive? And here?! What the he-“

“Watch your tongue, girl. This is a holy place!”

Oh, right.

“Let me finish! Oh, lord! Where are your manners?”

At this point, I wanted to speed time forward so he can get on with this.

“A little bit before the mayhem with Kyuubi, demons were already rare. The only ones left were the Nine Kings. Kyuubi, being one of them. Humans sought out the demons, to confine them in a human, creating an ultimate weapon of sorts. Some were just put in the humans because they are weaker in a human, and could be controlled easier. At least that's what they thought.

“Anyways, Kyuubi was sealed in a newborn boy, on in act of defending the village. The fourth Hokage, which was the leader of the village at that time, sealed Kyuubi in his own son. Which is just a rumor going around. No one has proven that Naruto-kun is the son of `Konoha's Yellow Flash'. But, it does seem obvious. If you look-“

“Okay, okay! On with it, old man!”

“Ahem, yes, right. Well, later Naruto-kun bonded with the Kyuubi. Kyuubi would lend him his chakra, for the price of Naruto-kun's life. You see, every time Naruto-kun uses that chakra-“

“Chakra? What is that?”

“Think of it as your priestess powers. That power under your skin that lets you do things that shouldn't be accomplished. Well, every time Naruto-kun uses that chakra to a certain point, he shrinks his life span. And that is something you can help him with. But that's for a later time. Now, why don't you have some tea?”

Somehow, in the middle of that little story-telling time, we ended up, in what I assumed was his hut.

“Uh, sure. Thank you.”

He handed over a warm cup, and I drank it all in three gulps. Hey! I haven't had anything to drink in three hundred years!

“Naruto-kun is on his way here. He should be somewhere in the forest surrounding the village.”

When those words reached my ears, it was as if someone was controlling me.

And I think someone was.

“Thank you. I'll take my leave now.”

Oh yeah. Then demonia took control.

“Kaggy-chaaan. I'm waiting!!!”

I sprung forth to him.

“Kyu-chan! Kyu-chan!”

“Sh, sh. Its alright, Kagome, dearest. Don't cry.”

I didn't even know I was until he mentioned it.

“Now, my time is running up. When I leave, I want you to take care of Naruto. He's going through the same process you did when you got your demon blood. Please, help him and train him.”

I looked up to his ruby-red orbs, tears still streaming down my face.

“B-but where will -hiccup- you go?”

“I will be gone. But still here. My blood is now coursing through his veins. His personality will be a little similar to mine, so will his actions, train of thought, feelings, and so on.”

“ But-“

I stopped when I noticed his right eye twitching, and blood was running down his ears, which were slowly turning more fox like.

“I love you.”

His eyes closed, and then his body became limp. I almost fell down from the weight. But then fire exploded from him, and a painful roar echoed.

This reminded me of the time I gained my demon blood.

Shit! What do I do? What? What?

Why don't you try doing what “Kyu-chan” did?

She's right. I have to go back to that cave.

I lifted -what was his name? Oh yeah, Naruto.- Naruto on my shoulders, but then pain throbbed on the back of my left thigh.

Growling, I turned around to kick some ass. This will be pretty hard with a man on my back who keeps moving around in pain.

“Give Naruto-kun back!”

So she must be friends with him.

This will be fun.

“Why should I?”

She had pink hair. That's the only thing I could decipher right now. The fire was getting so fucking hot.

“As a ninja of the Hidden village of the Leaf, and personal assistant of the Hokage, I order you to surrender my comrade!”

Oh, stuck up are we? We'll see about that.

I took the kunai she landed in my thigh, and threw it right back at her.

She took one of her other ones and hit it away, but I was right behind the kunai. So I punched her in the stomach, and caught her when she fell over. Placing her on the ground, I then sped off to the cave.

All I saw was red, water, and blood.

But I found the cave. Right after I got in, a barrier was put up behind me, and I could see that old-man through the pinkish-air.

“Gah!”

Naruto coughed up blood.

Shit!

I had to hurry, and now.

I dragged him to the back of the cave, while increasing my demon aura.

He was already shirt-less, but the pants had to go. So I quickly un-buttoned and zippered his pants, and pulled them off, his sandals coming off with them.

All he was in now was a pair of boxers.

Okay. His organs and cells are changing to demons'. His blood is pumping faster then normal. He's in pain. Think! Think! Take the pain away!

I looked over to his face. Tears were running down his cheeks, his fangs were piercing his lip; blood was dripping down his chin.

I swung my right leg over to his right side, so now I was on top of him, cradling his torso, but being wary as to not put any wait on him.

I leaned down, his eyes creaked open, and I kissed him.

---------------------------------------- ------------ - - - --- - - - - - -

It felt like cold water was splashed on me.

First, I was consumed with this over-whelming, burning invisible fire.

So, imagine what you'd feel when it was replaced with an over-whelming freezing water.

Yeah. Maybe a little like that.

And, what's even odder, I still felt the fire on my lips. So I opened my eyes to see why.

Maybe I should have kept them closed. Because the feelings that came rushing at me were un-bearable.

I think she noticed, the woman that was kissing me-yes, kissing- because she stopped and looked at me.

“Does it hurt still?” her voice brought recognition.

I didn't know what to say. She was so beautiful. So I just told her the truth.

“No. Are you by any chance Kagome?” Okay, so I added a question. So what?

She looked at me curiously, her head cocked to the side. It was kind of, cute.

“Yes. . .I take it Kyuubi has spoken to you already?”

At that I tried getting up, but she was on top of me, not allowing any movement.

“Don't try to. Don't think of it. Just look at me. Into my eyes.”

Okay, wow. Now this is starting to sound like a cheap horror movie.

I must have had some face on, because she scowled and started being all serious.

“I'm serious!” There you go. “Look! If you don't, the pain will come back. And don't look at your self. Don't move. Don't do anything.”

Pain? You mean that Hell-fire? And what's with this “don't look at myself” crap? I can if I want to!

So, I made the stupid mistake of lifting my hand so I can take a look.

Really big mistake.

Because I saw that my nails were sprouting out, in a horribly nauseating way. Blood all over my hand, and I could faintly see some white. Bone.

Then the fire came back, back and ready to burn.

Kagome leaned down and kissed me again. And the freezing water came again, too.

“You stupid boy! I told you not to, yet you go and do it! I should-“she suddenly stopped, and I didn't know why. Maybe she'll tell me?

“W-what's wrong? “

“Sh!”

She shushed me!

I took the time to get a better look at her. She had dark, raven hair. It look greasy and matted, like she hadn't washed it in forever. Her eyes were a light, light blue. But it was red, too. Weird. She wore those old kimonos, similar to something Tsunade-baa-chan would wear. But not quite like it. It was a deep, navy blue, with Sakura petals at the hems.

It was also over-sized, like it belonged to someone bigger then her, more likely a man.

“So, Naruto, care to listen to a story?” She asked in a low, scary sounding voice. Like the voice of a romantic-horror movie.

“S-sure . . .?” I didn't realize I was shivering, or how scratchy and hoarse my voice sounded. My back also hurt. It ached, really bad.

She smiled then laid on top of me, her head on my shoulder, right beside my ear.

“Long ago, when demons roamed the land, there was a jewel that could grant any wish, whether for evil or good. It was called the Shikon Jewel, or the Jewel of Four Souls. It was guarded by the Demon Slayers clan. But they couldn't handle such power. So they handed it over to the most powerful priestess of the time, Kikyo.

“Kikyo guarded the jewel with all her might, fighting demons and performing exorcisms. But one day, a half-dog demon came, demanding the jewel so he can become demon. See, during this era half-demons were looked down upon. So he wanted to become full demon so he could prove he was not weak. But Kikyo wouldn't give the jewel up. So each day, the half-demon would come, and each time, Kikyo would deny him the jewel.

“The half-demon's name was Inuyasha. And soon, Inuyasha fell in love with Kikyo, and Kikyo with him. This caused many problems for Kikyo, for she needed to stay strong, and protect the jewel. But all she wanted was to get rid of the jewel, so she can be a normal woman, who will love a normal man. So she asked Inuyasha to become a human using the jewel, and not a demon, for her. Inuyasha agreed, and set the day, time, and place to wish on the jewel.

“Now, during this time with Inuyasha, Kikyo was taking care of a bandit, who was injured beyond belief. Soon the bandit knew about Inuyasha and Kikyo's relationship, and became jealous and envious, for he was in love with the priestess too.

“But Kikyo had no idea what the bandit, Onigumo, was planning. But Onigumo did, and he knew exactly what he wanted. He gave his body to demons. Giving him powers that no other knew of. And so, he set out to put his scheme in place.

“From gaining all those demons in his body, he now had the ability to shape-shift. So he turned his body into Kikyo, and sought out Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha was just sitting in his tree, thinking of the day when he would become human. But when he got a whiff of Kikyo's scent, he quickly leaped down to greet her. But he didn't expect an arrow to shoot right at him.

“He looked over, to make sure that it was, in fact, his Kikyo. And it was, in his eyes, and nose. But she had an evil look to her eyes, and a smirk adorned her face.

“Inuyasha felt betrayed when she called him a “half-breed”, and was denying all the love they shared. So, anger took over his body, and he left, running.

“Kikyo soon turned into Naraku, the demon that Onigumo turned him self into. His white pelt covering his body and a light blue gorilla mask on his face. He just laughed, and shifted into Inuyasha, and then he went for Kikyo.

“Kikyo was running late. It was the day. She was sure Inuyasha would be pacing by now, wondering where she was. The jewel glistened in her hand. But, when she got to the designated meeting place, the clearing where they first met, Inuyasha was no where in sight.

“Thinking that he must have slept in, Kikyo just brushed off his tardiness and caught hr breathe. Reaching into her white haori sleeve, she pulled out a small clam. Opening it, she put the some lip stick on her pinky, and wiped it on her lips. Smiling softly, she suddenly felt pain in her back.

“She fell forward, blood oozing around her.

“It was Inuyasha. `How could he?!' she thought. And betrayal and anger swept over her. Inuyasha was demanding the jewel, but she firmly grasped it in her fist. But she was too weak from the wounds Inuyasha had made on her back. He stomped on her foot, and took the jewel, saying his gratitude, and how easy it was to deceive her. Then he left the clearing, leaving Kikyo to her bitter emotions.

“But Kikyo was a fighter, and so she picked herself up, and made her way to the village. At the village, the real Inuyasha was wreaking havoc, looking for the jewel. He tore down the shrine wall and took the jewel from it's stand, covering his mouth with his sleeve so he wouldn't breathe in any of the incense.

“He was almost out of the village and into the forest, but he herd a “whiz” and turned around, an arrow piercing his shoulder, and trapping him on a tree. The jewel fell out of his grasp and onto the floor.

“Kikyo came and grabbed it, looking at him with anger and agony.

“Both didn't know why the other one betrayed the other. So, Inuyasha was under a spell, trapped on the Goshinboku tree, under a deep sleep for fifty years. Kikyo was cremated with the jewel, so it wouldn't wreak any more havoc. And Naraku still lived on.”

The story was pretty long, and every time I tried to say a comment here and there, she would give me a look, so I shut up.

I had I feeling it wasn't a story though. While she was telling it to me, her right hand was combing my hair, and at times, she would clench her fist. It hurt a little, but I've felt worse.

And right now I felt pretty tired. My eyelids were getting heavy, and it was hard to stay awake.

“I'll tell you the rest when you wake up, right now, get some sleep.” I would have said “thanks” or something, but I was already asleep.

I wonder how the story turns out.

---------------------------------------- ------------ - - - --- - - - - - -

He quickly fell asleep. And I was glad he did. He needed it.

I couldn't get off of him; I was too afraid that he would in pain again.

But I was all too comfy in my position. And plus, I get a really good scent of him here. Right by his neck. I could hear his heart pumping, the blood running through his veins. His lings contracting and constriction of his lungs, by the movement of his diaphragm. I tried making my heart beat match his.

I couldn't sleep. I will probably never sleep now. I guess that's one of the down sides of being “Damned”. Life sucks.

---------------------------------------- ------------ - - - --- - - - - - -
