Kain sighed as he headed out of their apartment, looking for his son. He had disappeared from his room again and had been on and off nearly every day for the past week. When Kain wasn't teaching him, the male Sanin wasn't teaching him, he was eating and sleeping and his friends were too busy for him, the boy was disappearing, going THERE.
Almost a full week ago the two were touring the village when they came across the local blacksmith.
Naruto had instantly become fascinated with the whole forging and making weapons and other items and was constantly bugging Kain to go back so he could watch the blacksmith work, the young mans little sister-a girl with long black hair and a pretty face called Tenten-explaining how everything worked and was done.
And Naruto soaked it up like a sponge, it endlessly fascinated him and he seemed draw to it.
Kain recognized the look of someone who had found their nitch, their calling. Could he be picking up on some talent Vorador had and could have possibly somehow passed on from his mortal years?
Or was it one of the hundreds of souls that Raziel had absorbed during his time as a Reaver of souls?
Whatever it was it constantly drew the boy and seized his attention.
Kain could usually tell were his son had gone to, because once he had noticed him gone and he used The Whisper, all he got from the two-Naruto AND Raziel-was an content humming, which freaked Kain out the first time, Raziel DOES NOT get content and hum, human, vampire or wraith.
But he had discovered in recent days if Naruto was happy or content it tended to leak through to his two tenants, making THEM happy and content as well.
After a few days of this Kain had spoke to the young blacksmith who had suggested that Naruto take an apprenticeship there if he was so interested. When Kain had expressed an concern that his son was 'too young' and it was just an fascination the young man had shook his head. "On the contrary" he said "it has been proven long ago that those kids who show an talent and fascination for this sort of thing at a young age and are encouraged to pursue it become the best at it and stay longer. Most of the time their work is unique and highly prized though. I suggest, Kain-san, let him pursue it and watch what happens."
So Kain had done what the young man suggested.
However today was an important day, today all the talks with the Hyuuga clan head and his wife and the organizing would come to pass, and Naruto needed to be there to see it begin.
So he headed straight to the blacksmiths shop.
Roughly two hours later the two stood at the door to their apartment, formerly inviting the two parents and their daughter inside, Naruto repeating what his brother told him to say to officially invite the clan head and his family within.
Once done Naruto took his little friends hand and pulled her into his room, to excitedly catch her up on all the goings on in his life since they last met and so the 'adults' could finalize their plans.
Half an hour later the two were called out to where the Hyuuga parents sat with Kain around the dinning room table.
The two children stood in front of them, hand in hand, waiting for what they had to tell them.
Kain spoke first "Naruto, you enjoy the time spent with Hinata, right?"
The boy's face broke into an huge grin and he nodded eagily. "Hinata-sama and Sasuke-san are my best and only friends and Itachi niisan is like a big brother."
"Good then that makes this a little easier. How would you feel about Hinata coming to live with us?"
The boy cocked his head at his father, looking almost like a little fox-cub and asked "What about her mom and dad? Don't they want to be with her anymore? Why not?"
Kain sighed, he really needed to teach the boy tact, his godfather certainly wouldn't. That childish comment had set the little girl off, bottom lip trembling as she looked up at her parents "d.....don't you want me anymore? Mom, dad?" she looked from one parent to the other and whispered "don't you love me a....anymore?"
"Oh darling!" the woman knelt in front of her daughter and buried her in her arms and body. "Of course your father and I do, and always will!"
"Th...then why are you sending me away?" the girl sobbed.
"We're not sending you away, darling, at least not in THAT way. Do you remember how your father and I told you when you were younger that you would be someone's wife and ninja and have your own kids to raise and we were teaching you to be a wife and ninja so you could protect your new family and teach your own kids, that those children would be the new Hyuuga clan."
"Ah-ha" the girl drew back to look in her mother's face "you said even though I was living with another family I would still be your daughter, yours and daddies."
"That's right" the woman nodded "and you can come visit us and the boys whenever you want and we can come visit you. You'll still needed to come home to learn the clans jutsu's and to use and control the Byukagen, so even though you're living with another family, you're still a part of us and be able to come home whenever you want, to visit of course."
"Daddy?" the girl looked up at the clan head who knelt beside his wife and looked at his daughter "your mother is right, sumire-me. We love you now and will always love you equally, no matter where you are and where you live or who with. You can visit us whenever you want and your mother and I will come visit you regularly. The boys and your cousin will visit you as well, and you'll see them around the village."
Naruto joined in, looking vulnerable at her "D...don't you want to be with me, 'Nata? I want to be with you."
"Of course I want to!" The child turned in her parents arms and immediately hugged her blonde friend to her tightly "you're my 'Naru!" She looked a little depressed though "but they're my parents, my mom and dad. Would YOU want to be taken away from Kain-san?"
"No" Naruto sighed "you don't have to come live with me, with US, if you don't want to. Stay with your mom and dad."
The clan head opened his mouth to tell the two they had no choice, but Kain motioned him to be silent and watch.
If the two didn't want this, Kain wouldn't force them into it. He had done a lot of things he regretted in the past, forcing children into a marriage they didn't want was NOT one of them, and he had no intention of starting.
Forcing them into marriage would just make them hate each other and Kain had no intention of bringing more of that into his son's life, he'd had enough of it from the villagers as it was.
Kain had a sudden brainstorm.
"What about a sleep-over?" he said.
Four eyes, three white, looked at him curiously.
He looked at the child, his soon-to-be daughter in law. "I know you don't want to move in with us away from your parents all of a sudden, so what about a sleep-over? What you do is you spend more time of a day with Naruto and occasionally sleep over of a night as well. Then slowly over a couple of weeks start sleeping over more and more nights until next thing you know, you're living here and instead visiting your family and the Uchiha boys."
"I think that's a wonderful idea!" the woman laughed, smiling down at her daughter while the clan head nodded in agreement to the vampire.
"Yeah!" Naruto cheered in agreement, hugging his friend close and looking at her solemn face "What do you think, 'Nata? We can be together like that until you get used to me and dad, them move in when you wanna!"
Slowly the child nodded in agreement, having thought about it for a few minutes.
The three adults let out a silent breath of releif. It looked like it might work after all.
And so for the next few weeks the girl was often seen following Naruto around the village, sitting and watching him work and learn in the blacksmiths, visiting the two boys at the Hyuuga home as Itachi recovered at his home with his brother stubbornly taking care of him, learning from her parents the clan secrets, even joining Naruto's training from the Sage-somehow the boy had convinced the 'old man' that since Hinata was his wife now, she needed to learn everything he knew as well.
He even convinced Kain to let her join THEIR training as well, even if her abilities were not vampire or Soul Reaver.
Kain had to admit it, the combat training was easier with another to practise with for his son and even decided to train her like Naruto.
Of a night the two children slept in the same room together. Although the girl seemed scared sleeping by herself, so most mornings when he woke them for breakfast he found his son wrapped around her on his bed, arms and wings surrounding her little body, pleased the girl child didn't seem the least bit alarmed or scared by his sons true looks.
In fact he soon found the girl had an obsession for his sons wings. He would often find the two cuddling on the couch of a night after dinner watching TV together, the girl surrounded by his sons leather wing while she stroked the feathered one, small but dexterous fingers running almost absently through the feathers and along the radius.
Not only were both Raziel and Kyuubi again humming in contentment, but for some reason NARUTO was purring-that's the only way to describe it.
Kain knew he had made the right choice allowing the contract now, the girl child was making his son happy in ways he never could.
And so, for the next year leading up until the two children's enrollment into the ninja academy together they continued their training with both Kain and Jiriaya, Naruto learning and training under the blacksmith while the girl child-having caught the other Sanin's attention at her dedication to her 'godson'-started learning healing as well.
And she apparently had a talent for it.
Not to mention the fact she was 'learning from example' from Naruto, Kain and the male Sanin, the girl was developing and razor witt and sarcasm that could almost hold its own with the woman herself.
It was during that year that Naruto began to help other families with the spirits of their dead loved ones, some even killed by the Kyuubi attack years ago.
It began weeks after the Uchiha woman's freedom.
Just after the girl moved in fully the two children were visiting the compound when Naruto wondered away.
They found him later on sitting under a sakura tree having an long conversation with someone they couldn't see.
After asking him why he had wondered off he answered "Hyuuga-san was calling me, so I came to see what he wanted."
"I wasn't calling you, Naruto" the clan head frowned at him "I was in my office earlier."
"Not that Hyuuga-san" Naruto said, pointing to the man "THAT Hyuuga-san" he pointed to the space beside him. Then he frowned "he looks exactly like you, Hyuuga-san, why?"
"Hizashi" the clan head breathed, eyes wide, "are you telling me you've been talking all this time to the spirit of my TWIN?!"
"What's a twin?" Naruto frowned.
Breathing in deeply to gain control of himself the clan head spoke in an barely wavering voice "a twin is a brother or sister who is born with you. Most of the time they are what is called Paternal Twins which is a boy and girl, but sometimes you get Identical twins, which is like having an clone, only that clone is real and alive just like you are. Hizashi was my Identical Twin."
"Oh" Naruto nodded in understanding.
"Why is he still here, Naruto? I thought he would have moved on."
"He's worried, about Neji and you. He says you blame yourself for his death and that Neji-san is starting to hate, hate the main clan, blame them for his daddies death. He can't move on until you both know it was his decision and accept it. He can't go and join Neji's mom until he talks to you both."
Immediately the clan head turned to one of the members standing wide-eyed nearby "bring my nephew here, NOW!"
The member frowned "but Neji-san is in his studies, Hisashi-san."
"I DON'T CARE! GET HIM!"
When the male just squeaked in confusion and shock the man snarled "NOW!" With another squeak the young clan member took off.
Other members began to whisper and talk among themselves as they watched, concerned with the clan heads reaction and the fact he believed a Childs claim, THE DEMON CHILDS claim, but a glare from the head shut them up, they wanted to hang around and find out what was going on.
Soon the member returned leading the solemn sight of a brown haired boy the girls age, small and skinny for his age and eyes darker than they should ever be on a child. Taking the boy's hand the clan head lead him towards Naruto, speaking as he did "Neji you know Naruto don't you?"
The boy nodded without a word.
"Do you know about his new dad?"
Again the boy nodded.
"Tell me what you know."
In a voice so soft it was barely heard the boy spoke "he was an hokage from a land past the elemental nations. When his people rebelled against him and started killing the civilians of his land he had to hunt them down and kill them. His son was killed and after he destroyed them all he traveled here with all his nations riches and a sword that held his sons soul.
Naruto found that sword, broken, after the hokage was attacked and the son's soul somehow became part of Naruto, giving him all the son's abilities.
Because the son is dead but his soul is still around, Naruto can now see into the world of the dead and even go there. Because the hokage and his son have come from somewhere outside the five nations they have Jutsu's and abilities different to us, including signless Jutsu's they call spells.
After finding his son's soul had bonded with Naruto, the hokage proclaimed him his own son now. He is raising him as such in all they can do and any kekai genkais he received through the merger."
"That's what's going around? Not exactly but close enough. Neji, someone close to us both wants to talk to us" he looked up at the Hyuuga's littering the garden "ALONE."
Reluctantly the members in the courtyard started to murmur as they moved away, many only going far enough inside to keep an watch on the scene with their own bloodline ability.
They saw A LOT of talking, a bit of hugging and tears, some hand motions they didn't understand and then something weird. The blonde boy frowned, saying something in concern that worried and upset the two, there was A LOT of hand motions and talking, and finally the Hyuuga clan head nodded reluctantly.
Then was the weird bit.
The demon child breathed in deeply, slowly, there was a flash of light and when it had cleared the child was sitting with the clan head and his nephew, eyes white and the veins around his eyes prominent, just like a certain bloodline.
One or two gasped, immediately clasping their hands over their mouths as a certain pair of eyes slowly moved to them, followed by the clan heads.
Realizing they would punished severely for spying on the clan heads buseness when he suspisifally told them to stay out of it, some scattered, hoping not to be identified, while others stayed, hoping by staying and accepting their punishment, it wouldn't be as severe as the others.
The clan head turned and said something to the demon child who spoke back-something the head seemed reluctant to do, but agreed to anyway. Then he left the two, allowing his nephew to lead the boy away, supposedly to find his new bride.
Kain was getting worried the situation was getting out of control, the Hokage would need to make a statement if this kept up.
Three days ago, after his son and daughter-in-law went to visit her family, rumors started flying around the village like wildfire, rumors that 'the demon child', his son, could see and communicate with the spirits of the dead and through it families in the village who had lost loved ones could communicate once again with them.
So far today Kain had been forced to turn away five lots, three couples and two singular people, who wanted the boy to tell them if a family member was still around and could he talk to them for them.
One man had an broken fist after Kain rejected him and the idiot had gone on to piss the vampire off.
First he had DEMANDED the ancient being bring him what he wanted-Naruto-never once talking about the child as a person, only an IT. Like an spoilt brat.
Next he had started raving about how "that demon owes us for allowing it to live, it should get on it's knees every damn day and thank us for allowing it to be within our sight, and obey our every command! If we wish it's unholy vision to see and talk to our loved ones-most of which IT took in the first place-then it should do it without hesitation or protest, no matter what time or day of the week it is!"
When Kain told him to LEAVE or 'I'll cleave your head from your shoulders before you can blink with my bare claws" the man sneered "I'd like to see yer try, freak."
Kain raised his hands, letting the energy spell crackle between them dangerously.
The man snorted "Ye're a ninja of this village, ninja's are forbidden from harming civilians, even if those civilians are ex-ninja themselves, there's nothing you can do to me if I.....why're you grinning like that?"
Kain gave the idiot his most evil smile, the one he used against people like Mobius, the one that said smugly "I know something you don't know."
"I am NOT an ninja of this village, fool."
The man snorted again "yer can't fool me, freak. The Hokage said...."
"That I would working in the village for him personally once Naruto started at the academy-that doesn't make me an ninja of this village, I am what you would call an Independent Agent, someone working for the village but not as one. Even if I was, it doesn't begin until Naruto starts at the academy, which he has not."
The man opened his mouth to speak, only for Kain to 'rub it in' by adding for good measure "not only that I am an advisor for the Lord of this lands, having been friend of his wife for a long time. That means not only am I only answerable to the Lord himself only but who's word do you think he'll believe, his trusted advisor, or some uncouth brute?"
When the man tried to speak again, Kain just had to add "I am also what you call an Hokage from a land outside the five nations, therefore I am not only allowed to do whatever is necessary to protect me and mine, by LETHAL force if needed, but I only answer to your Fire Lord as far as I allow."
The man's eyes narrowed "you wouldn't DARE start a war with us, over a demon, we'd beat your ass..."
"Wouldn't I?" Kain's narrowed eyed glare backed the man away a few steps "my people have power you could only dream of as well as immortality, I assure you for that child we would start a war that would make the last one plus the Kyuubi's attack look like an spar."
When the man backed up further the vampire added one last point "do you really believe that both your Fire Lord AND the Hokage will willingly go to war for an fool like you. Because one man wanted it" he snorted at the man "no, they will make an example of you, of what happens to those who both threaten and insult those the Fire Lord claims as his own as well as visiting Hokages."
The man gulped and managed to sneer "and where's your witnesses?"
"Right behind you" Kain motioned at the hallway.
The man spun to find at least five of Kain's neighboring people were standing in their doorways, glaring at the man, whether for disturbing their peace or his threats, he didn't know.
"Even if those idiots had the NERVE to dob me in...."
"I wasn't talking about THEM" Kain nodded at the shadow behind and next to the man "I was talking about HIM."
Gulping the man slowly turned.
Stepping out of the shadows was a figure in black and white wearing a crow porcelain mask. Long black hair was tied up behind him the figure was barely in his teens but radiated danger and anger. Behind him on his back rested an sword, lethal and ready for trouble. Black eyes blazed with fury, banked for only a moment as he looked at the vampire and nodded in acknowledgement to him "Kain-sama."
Kain nodded back "good to see you're fully recovered, and promoted too, congratulations."
"I appreciate it, Kain-sama, and am grateful for your aid in my recovery. However I am not here to chat. I was sent by the Hokage to warn you of the trouble that is brewing due to some rumors about your son, but I see you have already encountered it. I will take this trash to the Hokage if you would like, them I need to track down the sources of this latest gossip."
"Go ahead" Kain motioned at the human on his doorstep, "you may be able to use him to track it, however I do suggest you check the Hyuuga clan first, they were the location of BOTH incidents and would be an logical choice to start at."
"Agreed" the figure nodded.
"Don't ignore ME, freak!" the man suddenly snarled, "bring me what I want and bring it to me NOW!"
Kain sighed "no."
"No!" the man spluttered, incredulous that the vampire would flat out deny him.
"No" Kain confirmed without a change of expression.
"Why you!!!" the man then made a stupidly idiotic-even moronic-move. He threw a punch at the vampires face.
Only to have Kain intercept it with his hand seconds before his face. He let the shocked man see his dangerous expression and his fist trapped in the vampires grasp for a few seconds, enough to register the shock, before he had causally crushed the limb with hardly a squeeze.
The man shrieked in agony and fear, pulling it away and stumbling back, nursing the limb as he looked in terror at the vampire.
The ANBU grabbed the man and just before he disappeared with him Kain heard one of his neighbors mutter "serves you right, asshole" and the two were gone. Kain's neighbors either waved briefly or nodded to him and were gone back inside.
Seconds before he closed the door, Kain spotted Naruto and his little girlfriend returning, allowing them inside with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
The next day, after a conversation with the Hokage and pleading from Naruto himself, Kain consented to allowing his son to help some couples with the spirits of their love ones. However there was conditions set. First, it had to take place inside the Hokage’s office, allowing the leader and his ANBU to watch over it and ensure the Childs safety, second only people Naruto could see and communicate with, if a couple came in seeking their loved one and Naruto said they had already passed on, they were to immediately leave.
If Naruto gave the family some ‘hard truths’ via the deceased and the family were unable to accept it, they were immediately dismissed and given an written transcript of the rest of the deceased information.
And none of the families were allowed to blame Naruto if they heard something they didn’t want to hear. The saying ‘don’t shoot the messenger was used. Then they would sign an statement or contract forbidding them from discussing the results or actual events with anyone else, especially outside the family or the office.
The Hokage warned Kain to keep an eye on Naruto when he wasn’t with his other teachers. The boy being able to see and speak to ghosts would be an asset to enemies or even those willing to use it. If Naruto could speak to ghosts, the enemy might think any of their captives who die with information they want would still be able to get it using Naruto.
However after one particular incident that had Naruto hysterical and afraid for days, the Hokage released a statement to the village saying that it was a rumor and not to pay attention to it. While he DIDN’T say it was false or true, he left the people with the impression it wasn’t real, at least those that hadn’t actually gone through or witnessed it.
