****************************************************************************************
He frowned at her "yes my name is Naruto, but it is NOT this....Uzumaki. My name is Naruto Dragonseeker."
Hinata blinked at him "what do you mean? You look exactly like I remembered, just...older. How could you not be him?"
The dog barked and the man translated, frowning "try your Byukugan" curious over this....ability?
The young woman nodded and he FELT the power surge, concentrating mostly in her eyes, the veins around them and in her temples standing out.
He smiled and moved his hand slightly so his thumbs could stroke the visible veins. He made sure that he linked their minds so he could be a shadow in her thoughts while she examined him.
He was surprised by her vision. It seemed similar to his own people when he scanned, except more limited by distance. There was also an difference between how they saw. HE saw more in presences, minds. SHE saw bodies, by the power inside them.
His smile intensified, She saw bodies, he saw minds, another way they were lifemates. She was definitely his other half.
He allowed her to examine him thoroughly with her 'sight', still as a statue (or predator ready to pounce) so she could get an full view.
She finally gasped and drew back to look at him fully, her eyesight and the veinstendons easing back to normal as she stopped her scan of him. "Who, WHAT are you?!"
He drew himself up straight and proud "I am Naruto Dragonseeker, son of Razvan Dragonseeker and Ivory Malinnov, great-nephew of Dominic, warrior Carpathian hunter and child of mother earth, devoted follower of Prince Mikhail Dubrinsky" he relaxed and smiled at her "and YOUR lifemate."
She blinked at him, trying to take it all in. "I don't know what you just said. What is a lifemate? Carpathian?"
He smiled gently "an Carpathian is the name of my race and lifemate is what we are."
"Lifemate?"
"In human terms it means husband and wife, in animal you are my mate."
"Wait" she frowned then protested "I can't be married to you!? I don't know you?! My family already have an husband set up...."
His eyes flashed red and she felt a surge of animal-like fury from him before she blinked and it was gone "your family have no choice, as do you."
When she started to panic he soothed her "you misunderstand me. Lifemates are born for each other, are a part of each others soul-two halves of the one whole. You are a part of me as I am you. You are my light. I have no choice, just like you."
She didn't know what to say to this, opening and closing her mouth a few times. She settled for "what is Carpathian? Is that...your clan name?"
He laughed loudly "no, lifemate, my....clan name is Dragonseeker. My kind take their race name from the region of our world where we are from."
She blinked "I don't understand."
He reached out to touch the item around her neck "THIS is a sign of where you are from, what village. Your village lies in the region of the land of Fire. This makes you an citizen of Fire. MY race lies in the land of Carpathia, making me a citizen of Carpathia, or Carpathian. Do you understand?"
She nodded "what is a...Carpathian? How is your race different to us?"
"We are of the earth. She nurtures and protects us. We can shape-shift and are difficult to kill. We live longer lives than you can imagine. My great-uncle, for instance, is more than one thousand years old." She gasped at this and he went on "our kind is almost extinct, an old enemy has discovered ways to affect us, to try and kill us off. Our women and children are more precious to us then our own lives.
We have discovered in recent years however that certain human women like yourself can and ARE our being born for us. We have some theories, but it is unknown truly why."
"How do you know I am yours?"
"When an Carpathian male grows older, he begins around his adult years to loose the ability to see in color and feel emotions. Many males turn, becoming evil creatures we call vampires, addicted to the rush they feel during a kill. They hurt others-humans AND their own kind-and have to be destroyed to protect others. This is the job of hunters like myself. Some males take the path of suicide when they can not find their mate to prevent such a path.
Males who DO find their lifemate have their colors and emotions instantly restored to them. My parents are lifemates, my great-uncle recently found his. Even my father's twin sister has hers and now I found you."
She blinked at him, unsure of what to say to this.
There was a silence when he spoke again "it is almost dawn. There is an abandoned home nearby. Allow me to carry you and I can get you all there."
Akamaru barked and he nodded at it. After laying hands on the dog briefly he picked up the Inuzuka and placed it over him. Then he gently picked her up, arm under her knees and one behind the back "put your arms around my neck and hang on."
She did so, her face near his ear, her warm breath on it causing a shiver of pleasure down his spine.
He moved forward towards the male in the coat. The insects this time didn't attack him. Instead they retreated inside his jacket and did nothing as he picked him up.
With the male under his arm and her wrapped in his other, he made his way down the tree branches, going the easy way to make it simpler for the dog and his burden.
Then they were off, moving at the same speed, although she had the feeling he was going slower than he was capable of to make it easier on Akamaru.
"So, is my lifemate going to tell me HER name?" he sounded amused.
"Oh! I am Hinata Hyuuga of the Hyuuga clan."
He smiled at her "I am sooo pleased to meet you finally, Hinata Hyuuga of the Hyuuga clan."
Akamaru barked a few times and he looked half amused, half surprised "so, my lifemate is an PRINCESS?"
"No!" she protested, then blushed "more of an Lady."
He caught images in her mind. Trained to be the heir of her clan, a father's disappointment that she wasn't stronger, more willing to fight and kill. His teeth clenched as he fought back the beast.
An lifemate wasn't born for that, they were meant to complete their mates, be the purity and guiding light to their males. The man was trying to turn her into something she was not, something against her nature.
He would show the man just what power and strength could be.
He stilled inside as he caught the edge of other memories. Another male, around her own age, with similar looks. By the sadness mixed with affection mixed with determination she felt for the figure, he first thought he was some sort of twin, he looked incredibly similar. But then he caught images, her father as a younger man, and man his mirror image next to him.
A cousin then, it explained their likeness when their fathers were mirror twins.
He searched her memories for the reason behind her feelings, careful to keep his touch light so she wouldn't feel it.
What he had found shocked him. The father's twin. He was killed to protect his brother. Not just that but for some reason half her family were treated as slaves, an mark on their forehead allowing them control over them. This sickened him, it felt too much like a vampire controlling another to him.
It sickened his lifemate as well, she hated it and wanted it to end, but was powerless in the clan to do so. Even if she became head of the clan after her father. The older members of the clan held power over the head.
In this case age didn't equal wisdom.
As her lifemate it was his job to grant such a wish, not just his obligation but his pleasure, anything to make her happy. His mother learned from the mages themselves, his father witness to his grandfathers greatest and evilest spells, his aunt able to create spells with only a moments notice. THEY had trained him to 'think on his feet' as they did. If his family couldn't do it, there were people in among his kind who could.
He caught images in her, memories of an youth growing up with her cousin, as close as brother and sister in their childhood, the image of an child boy protecting her fiercely as an older brother should and he agreed whole-heatedly. This child protected his lifemate, her 'big brother', he would treat him as the brother he was to her. He was protecting her from a very young age, even against HIS side of the family, a true warrior in the sense.
The pain she felt towards him didn't make sense, though, so he delved deeper. He searched along the mental path for the answer, and found something. It had to do with her father and his twin, what she remembered and had heard or been told.
Both their mother's had died when they were young, the cousin when they were babies, hers when she was a child, after the birth of her younger sister. Their father's were all they knew, all they had.
When his lifemate was young, barely a child, she was kidnapped by someone from another village. She barely remembered it-just darkness, fear, tied up. Piecing it together he knew they had tied and gagged her, thrown her in a sack and traveled with her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Biting back the beasts urge to roar in fury at his lifemates fear and callous treatment, he was forced to then 'put an leash on it' as through her memories he found out why this village wanted her as he heard muffled talk about 'breeding' her, using his fragile mate to allow them to gain her 'bloodline' ability in their village.
After searching her mind he found his answer. An bloodline ability was an inherited skill in their clan, something only THEY could do. It was the scanning she had done on him earlier. This was the same ability that her clan protected so fiercely and their excuse to place the 'curse seal' or 'caged bird seal' over half their clan-protection they claimed.
Really it was control, the other side of the clan used it as an reason to treat their own family-sometimes brother's and sister's, as crap.
The kidnapper had been stopped-killed-the child taken back. However the village claimed there had been NO plan to kidnap the child and use her as an breeding mare and demanded compensation for their murdered comrade.
He KNEW this village didn't give a crap about any one member, they 'bred', trained and sent kids every day to their deaths, so they couldn't possibly care for one minor death, no they were after something else.
The village demanded the clan heads head.
Instead of the clan head his twin went in his stead, volunteering to save his brother. To protect the bloodline he was sent dead-a body-sealed so the enemy couldn't use his ability in any way.
The boy was told by the others of his side that the clan head had his father murdered, that he had used his own twin in order to escape his fate, that he was a coward and they were nothing but slaves.
No matter what she said he began to believe, to hate her. She could still remember the cruel things he said to her that day, but despite the fact he grew aloft and almost cruel to her, she still loved her cousin like a brother.
He vowed he would free her cousin, to make her happy and find an equal result, without the slavery. There was SOME way out there to protect the bloodline AND the members-to make them equal.
Fresh memories came, just as painful, but joyous as well. Sitting in the snow, feeling guilty and in pain as members of the other side mocked, yelled and blamed her, bullying her.
Another voice, a boy with HIS blonde hair, HIS blue eyes and HIS facial markings, about a year older than her. The boy defended her even when threatened, even when the other boys beat him up. When he got up and stumbled away, leaving behind his red scarf for her, he felt her emotions. Gratitude, curiosity, the beginnings of a childhood crush.
She decided to find out more about him.
What she saw and learned shocked them both. An orphan he was thrown out of the orphanage from the moment he could walk, forcing the leader to give him an dingy apartment instead. He was forced to fend for himself-do his own shopping, feed and bathe himself-no parental figure, no adult, no family or love or even caretaker. This was bad enough but the village treated him like a monster, like he was nothing more than an animal that needed to be put down. They made their kids avoid him, no one was allowed to talk to him, let alone acknowledge his existence. All he had was one of the teachers at the 'academy' and the leader himself.
The boy was loud and a prankster, but it was just an act, a scream for attention and SOME sort of human contact. In reality she saw an lonely sad child, isolated with an gentle, loving soul just craving someone to turn all those positive emotions on.
While all the other girls sighed over the dark and brooding or clan heirs, she was following the boy from a distance shyly. SHE saw what no one else saw, the true soul of the blonde. He inspired her, no matter what was thrown at him he was determined to be seen for WHO he was, not what they said he was. He struggled, he fought for what he wanted and what he believed in and it inspired HER to also fight. She was going to free her cousin and the others no matter what the council said, she WOULD become clan head and she WOULD change the way they run things!
Then came the day-however reluctant-that her cousin took the first step to come back to her, to tentatively repair the rift between them.
She was so overjoyed! It may not be the relationship of their childhood, but it was a start!
And it was all because of that boy, the blonde, practically pounding into him what was truly important in life. Later she saw her father approach the cousin, a scroll in hand. She learned it was written by the boy's father to him, a goodbye and explanation in one of why he did what he did.
This made her feelings for the boy increase, an child's crush mixed in with an overwhelming gratitude and awe that he would do this for her. He even said he was doing it for her. Sure he seemed completely ignorant of her feelings for him, but his kind heart compelled him to help her. In a world where they were hired or forced to kill, both of them somehow retained their innocence and good heart. The blonde even saw the good in their enemy!
He frowned. The boy had all the markings of an lifemate, but how was it possible? If he wasn't male he would have been convinced he WAS one.
Then she learned the boy's secret, why everyone in the village treated him as an monster. The night of his birth an demon-something called an buji attacked the village. It slaughtered hundreds, no one could stop it. Then the then leader of the village used an powerful seal-an spell-and summoned the god of death, sacrificing his own soul to rip the creatures soul from its body and force it into the body of an newborn baby.
This forced him to suppress his fury at the act. A baby! He used an newborn child! How DARE he take that choice, that life away from someone so innocent! And to make matters worse by allowing the village knowledge! They just ripped away any chance the boy had to have an normal life!
He dug deeper, where was this poor boy? If he lived he would take him from the village and raise him hisself. He would give him what his own adopted family gave HIM. Family, an loving family.
More memories of growing up and watching HIM grow. He made SOME friends, including her own teammates, even their teacher whom treated the boy like an younger brother. They were often seen together at a restaurant, the young man smiling indulgently while the boy told tales of his exploits.
The boy then leaving the village for a few years on training with a white haired man. They were seeking the greatest healer their world knew, to heal his friends and take over the position of leader of their village.
Three long years later (to her) he returned, taller, stronger, but still as sunny as ever and her heart lifted in joy at seeing him.
But then not long after his return he was sent out on another 'mission', only to disappear, never to be seen or heard from again.
Ten years ago that was, ten years of fearing for the life of her crush. Was he even alive? Was he an captive somewhere, tortured, afraid, in pain? Did he forget them all? Or had he found someone to finally love him and had settled down with them, perhaps with kids of his own.
Even the frantic searching of the leader-having adopted herself as his 'aunt' figure-could find nothing. The other villages didn't have him, the group of criminals hunting him for the creature inside him hadn't and even the two traitors to the village didn't.
It explained her excitement at the sight of him.
He drew out of her mind to send an call out along the private path he shared with his parents "mother, do you hear me?"
The answer came after a pause "I am here, Naruto, what is it?"
"Mother I have found my lifemate" he shared the last few hours with her, his thoughts, feelings and what he had learned both in this world and from his lifemate "have you ever heard of one of these creatures before, these....buji?"
"First I am glad you found your destined, my son. Your father feels the same. You will have to bring her home when you are both ready so she can be introduced to the pack. They miss you. Second I am unsure of the existence of such a creature and the possible destructive power they wield. I can look it up, even seek the knowledge of the healer, but chances are they are native of the world you currently inhabit and exist no where else."
Another voice entered his thoughts "in some circles buji mean high class, like rich humans. Perhaps it means these are High-class animal spirits-or souls-instead of demons. If they have evolved like the lycan or jaguar races, it is possible they may have retained their animal aspects while gaining Carpathian-like abilities. Or they came from experiments similar to what Xavier was doing in our world."
"Or some similar form of our wolves" she added.
"Something else has my attention though" his father said "Your lifemates memories of the boy. It matches YOU when we found you. If all of them wear this....hiatite was it?....then it makes sense."
He froze inside "you think that HE and I are the same?"
"It fits. Somehow you ended up on the other side of the portal."
"What about this...buji? How was it gone when I was changed? BEFORE I was changed. According to my lifemates memories to extract them means the 'hosts' death."
"Perhaps you were strong enough to survive. You survived the change because you were unique. Even then we could sense it in you."
"For now it may be smart to keep this point of theories to yourself. If it is just a matter of coincidence then you will be hurting those too emotionally fragile right now to accept it, including you lifemate. I suggest finding out as much information as you can, on this other version and what they DO know about his disappearance. As well as these other hosts. If possible examine one of them."
"The same with this 'Caged Bird Curse Seal." his father added "if you can get your hands on one-so to speak-examine it and send us everything you find. We will try and find a way to either unravel or block it's use."
"Thank you mother, father" he said gratefully "I will speak to you once I have something to send."
"Be well, son, look after and treat your lifemate well and remember, if you need us, we will be at your side."
Both were soon gone.
Just as he withdrew from the link, they reached their destination. Opening the door he allowed the dog with his burden to enter first before sliding his lifemate to the seat of an comfy couch and saying "I will return in a minute, cara."
He lead the dog to an closed door where he deposited the boy in the coat on one bed and moved the dogs burden to the other. After an nod towards the blonde, the dog climbed up to curl protectively around his master.
Leaving to return to his lifemate he found her curled up on the couch, asleep. He smiled at this and gently picked her up, taking her to HIS chosen room where he undressed her, marveling at her smooth pale beauty. He then cleaned and redressed her in an long silky nighty, brushed out her blue-black hair before tucking her into the bed he had created himself.
It was made of an dark wood-almost red. A large four posted one the head and foot board were engraved with ancient Carpathian and mage language, both safeguards and words of love and peace.
In strategic places were gems embedded. His mother had taught him the importance of gems and crystals for protection and various other uses and he had used that knowledge here, carving out the beds in the wood to place the gems and crystals in in an pattern that ensured an peaceful rest and healing.
The sheets he slid her between and the matching pillow cases were the finest silk and colored red, the blanket spread out on top black. It had an symbol woven into it, an dragon, the same mark his father and all born Dragonseekers bore as an birthmark while behind it was an beautiful Sakura tree, making it appear as though the dragon was perched hidden in the branches, but it was there.
He ensured she was comfortable and safe before he moved to the wall across from her. There he touched the craving in the wall almost lovingly and triggered the hidden panel.
The wall slid back allowing him to slip inside and down the long downwards slope deep underground. Finally he reached an open chamber where he had found the gems and crystals for the bed and approached a spot of rich earth in the very center.
He then summoned his brothers and sisters from their place guarding his back, allowing them their moments of excitement at his find of an lifemate-the knowledge that they would soon have a sister joining their pack.
Given to him by his parents these two males and two females were pups of his parents pack, barely more then juveniles they may be as lethal as him in battle and trained by their parents and his along with him, but in many ways like him they were still kids. They were also brothers and sisters of his adopted sister Skyler and HER lifemate Demitri's own pack, part of the litter. Both of them were among the few lycanCarpathian crossbreeds now referred to as Guardians-Off-All.
Although the earth here was purier without the signs of infection from the evil mage that was his adopted father's grandfather, it wasn't the same as in their world. There mother earth had made them her children, encasing them in the richest earth, minerals and metals to nourish and protect them as they slept, directly acting to heal any wounds or injuries to them.
Here the earths soul seemed quiet, silent, and he didn't like it. He was used to mother earth's greeting when he rested inside her, her gentle voice soothing him as he slept.
She had adopted him, just as she had his parents, healing him the day his parents had found him after he had apparently saved a child from an vampire and they had been forced to turn him to live.
His mother told him that for some reason mother earth had connected to him deeply-as if he was the embodiment of her spirit-like he was born to be her means of communication to the outside world.
They had seen him fight the vampire singlehandedly, his body rejecting the parasites the vampires inject a victim with to control them almost instantly, the very earth obeying his direction to hide the child protectively and spear the vampire with an lance of metal, giving him enough time to extract its heart and destroy it.
The child had been his now goddaughter, the child of the prince's daughter's husband's adopted brother and wife-who had sneaked away from her carers. It was the prince who had given permission to turn him when his parents had reported the events, the greatest healer his people had there to monitor and help bring him across.
Apparently it had been a struggle, something inside him didn't want them to interfere, it was extremely powerful and fought them all the way. But as he grew weaker, so had it.
His memories had been a sacrifice for his new life, the only thing he remembered was his name-the given name, Naruto.
If he truly was this boy, it explained why it was so difficult and perhaps the loss of memory. The creature inside him-the spirit-hadn't wanted the change. It knew the chances of it surviving was next to impossible. Maybe his lost memories was either it's revenge for it's destruction, or an inevitable result of having a part of him, however it came to be there, ripped away.
He had heard about what happened when Carpathian males turned their lifemates among the Jaguar race. His Great-uncles lifemate was an pure-blood jaguar woman-an princess-and one of his mothers 'adopted' brothers was with an once Jaguar woman, he KNEW they had became one more painfully then most others, but they may have gained the Carpathian aspects, but lost their cats. However one of his other adopted 'uncles' had mated an Lycan and it had changed HIM as well as her, giving him an Lycans guardian form as well as her an Carpathian. And the same went for his Great-uncle and his princess.
Perhaps it had to do with birth, not the actual spirits strength. His Great Aunt and adopted aunts had been born that way with the incredible strength. THEIR animals were royal and had since birth. HIS had been implanted AFTER birth. It was merely an spirit bonded to him by an spell-Jutsu they called it here. The change broke that bond and overwhelmed the spirit.
A sudden sardonic grin split his face. This criminal organization he had read inside his mate's mind that was hunting the 'vessels' was going to be furious when they learned of its destruction. Whatever they needed all nine for was going to be impossible now.
Even if there was an tiny chance they could ever kidnap him, there was nothing to take, the 'demon' was gone and he was way to powerful for them to hold.
As he moved the earth with his mind for them and settled down to 'sleep' among his brothers and sisters he had one passing thought. Perhaps he should find the others of these....vessels and offer them his protection from the criminals. He may be able to remove the so-called demons and give them back their lives.
He shrugged mentally, it wasn't like he couldn't take them. Once his mother got the information on how they functioned from him, she could likely figure out how to safely remove them.
With the 'demons' gone the criminals were no threat.
