KG: Sigh, finally done. Okay time to give LN a break. Too much of a good thing is bad for the soul.

Wifey: What soul is worse than yours?

KG: I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

Wifey: Cause you have none?

KG: W/E.

Wifey: Yup, you don't have one. I'll go make lunch.

KG: Hmph, at least you're good for something.

Wifey: What was that?

KG: Nothing.

Quote: "Isn't it funny. I'm enjoying my hatred so much more than i ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes its mind. But hatred, now, that's something you can use. Sculpt. Wield. It's hard, or soft, however you need it. Love humiliates you, but Hatred cradles you." By Janet Fitch, White Oleander.

Six took a step back as Naruto's body suddenly surged with power. Six could see a black mist surround his body. The yellow-hooded girl felt the air grow thick. The steel walls of the boat creaked and the ground beneath Naruto's feet cracked. The Janitor screeched at them both, yet Six saw how…big Naruto was in front of her. He reminded her of a mass wall. Six trembled. She could feel the blackness which surrounded Naruto. She could hear him chuckle in a dark, demented tone. The starving girl could feel her senses of self-preservation alarming her. They were telling her to run away from these two, yet…Six didn't know why her eyes filled with such a strong desire for her blonde partner at the moment. That damn uncomfortable feeling was filling her up even stronger than previously. Six found herself short of breath. She was confused why she stayed. She was confused by this feeling happened every time she looked at Naruto, and…she was confused as to the crooked smile on her face whenever she looked at Naruto. He just looked so…desirable.

Suddenly, the Janitor growled and he swung his wide arms over the room. The red-eyed Naruto's broken grin sharpened. He watched the incoming swing of the monster's arm with inhuman accuracy. Yes, Naruto could do this. Despite the burning in his body and the pain he felt, he could make this…thing suffer. Naruto could devour it and he could make it crumble in fear. "You made a big mistake," Naruto said. He raised his hand and opened his palm. Naruto grabbed the Janitor's arm. His feet slid across the floor. Six stood in silence as Naruto held the Janitor's arms. Naruto wasn't going to lie, for such a scrawny looking piece of filth, this guy had a lot more power that Naruto had thought it was capable of. Still, that hardly meant it was out of Naruto's control.

The Janitor screeched in utter pain as Naruto's claws dug into its putrid skin. Its blood filled the trenches of Naruto's fingernails and the mist which surrounded Naruto swirled around like a massive hurricane. The Janitor pulled at his arms, but Naruto held him as firm as he could. Unbound strength filled Naruto's body. He could feel himself stealing this thing's lifeforce. Naruto could see it slowly turning into a lifeless husk of the disgusting sack of shit it was before. The Janitor then cried once more and swung its other arm at Naruto. Naruto stiffened and he pulled back. Naruto grabbed Six and moved them both out of the way.

Naruto jumped on the wall and landed on top of a steel grate. Six was surprised at this sudden position. She moved her hood to get a look at Naruto. That look of mercilessness, cruelty, and ruthlessness riled her up for reasons she couldn't speak of. Yes, Six had made the correct choice in saving him. That look in his eyes, Six…loved it so much. Perhaps Six understood, yes, Naruto…was the person she would be if she had that mysterious aura around him.

Naruto gently placed Six down and he turned around. He couldn't see much from her hood, but he could tell from her stance that she had fully seen what he had done. Naruto found a swell of pride in his body. Someone was truly impressed by his movements and his current accomplishments. Someone looked at him and no one else. Someone wasn't looking at Sasuke, someone wasn't looking at Neji, someone wasn't looking at anything in the world aside from him. That person was…Six. Naruto wanted to impress her more. Naruto wanted her to just look at him and no one else. Naruto wanted her everything! Naruto wanted to devour her!

Naruto turned around and watched the Janitor cry as he grabbed his bleeding arm. The Janitor's teeth showed in the form a snarl when he turned to Naruto. Naruto licked his lips. His life was flaring. The black mist continued to circulate around him. "Well? What are you waiting for? Give it all you've got because I told you to not show your disgusting face in front of me again. I hope you don't have any regrets," Naruto said to the Janitor. The Janitor gave Naruto the reaction that the young Jinchuuriki was hoping for. He was extremely pissed off.

The Janitor swung his left. Naruto and Six watched its shadow loom over them. Six didn't move from her spot. She just kept her gaze on Naruto. She kept her gaze on the one who continued to captivate her time after time. Six watched as Naruto held up his hand. The Janitor gave a grunt of surprise when Naruto grabbed the creature's left arm.

For how…thin its arms were, Naruto understood that this creature had some surprising strength. It was either that or Naruto, for this supposed size of his, didn't have the strength to combat it. However, for all that strength, it was very slow. At the very least at the speeds Naruto had been fighting almost all his life, its movements were very slow. But, lastly, Naruto…wasn't exactly in the mood for holding back either.

Naruto clawed at the Janitor's left arm. He could feel the lifeforce of the Janitor surging into his body. Naruto couldn't believe it could feel this could. He could feel the Janitor's body grow cold and he loved the way it writhed. Try as it might, it could not get Naruto off its left arm. Its right arm was unable to help in the state it had been earlier. Naruto saw the strings of life that flowed form the Janitor's body. Yes, this power…this power felt so good. It felt…even better than using the Kyuubi's chakra.

Memories filled Naruto's mind. He could see all of the things the Janitor had done and what sections of this ship it had visited. So…the ship was called The Maw. A stupid name, if Naruto were honest, but he doubted this place had a meaning for naming taste. Naruto didn't see as much as he probably would have liked, but he quickly pulled the Janitor's left arm and Six had to cover her ears as the creature released an unholy screech through the Maw as Naruto ripped its left arm off. The Janitor staggered back in surprise. It could hear the sound of its arm flop to the floor.

If the Janitor could see, then it would have seen Naruto covered in its blood while he slowly leaned up. Six glanced at her yellow hood. A couple streaks of blood had found their way to her clothing. Six grazed her hand against it. It felt warm, hot even. Six then turned to Naruto. She watched the Janitor's blood drip off Naruto's body and she watched the Janitor cry in pain. The young girl then watched Naruto turn to face her. It was then that an emotion that Six couldn't identify filled her body. Her legs grew weak at Naruto's powerful gaze. Was she odd? This should have appalled her…not enthralled her so much. Six couldn't tell why her breathing quickened. She also couldn't tell why her cheeks were flushed.

Naruto's eyes glossed over Six. He didn't know what prompted him, but he gave her a light smile. She seemed indifferent to his appearance and Naruto didn't know whether to take that for a good sign or not, but he didn't wait for her to give him anymore reactions. He turned around to the trembling Janitor on the floor. Naruto took a step forward. "Stop crying. It's pitiful. Even if you are a disgusting piece of trash," Naruto said. The Janitor clicked or grunted out some angry noises. It then screamed at the top of its lungs and reached its right arm to capture the blond that had been causing so much trouble for him!

Naruto walked forward and he merely tilted his head to the side. The Janitor's arm flew past him. Naruto didn't even bother grabbing it. He stood in front of the Janitor. Naruto wrinkled his nose. Its breath smelled freakin' terrible. Yet, Naruto moved past that initial discomfort. In the darkness, his red eyes shined and he raised his right arm. With cruelty and madness, Naruto grabbed the front of the Janitor's face. The Janitor bellowed. It quickly tried to tear Naruto off its face, but the Janitor felt unrelenting pressure even stronger than when the blonde had been grabbing his arms. Naruto smirked as he watched the Janitor squirm. The black mist which surrounded Naruto's body was already at work as the Jinchuuriki kept the guardian of the children in its place. Naruto took in a deep breath. He could feel the energy healing his wounds. What was this power doing to him? It felt so good! Naruto could feel the places in his body where there could have been internal bleeding had quickly fixed themselves. The aching in his muscles had gone away and he was even sure that some of the broken bones on his body.

Naruto couldn't resist laughing. Yes, give it to him! Give it all to him! Give your worthless, useless, pitiful life to him. Give your lifeforce to someone who would actually put it to better use than just guarding insignificant children! Let…let…LET NARUTO DEVOUR YOU! Naruto couldn't believe this. He had gotten this feeling just from overpowering this pathetic shit underneath him. What would happen if he took Konoha? What would happen if he took the Akatsuki? What would happen if he…took the Kyuubi? "Whoa, I should calm down. We have plenty of time to deal with those things, but for now…I'd rather not delay our escape from this place any more than we need to," Naruto thought. His gaze over the creature darkened and he finally released it from its torment.

The Janitor dropped to the ground and panted as it touched its clawed-up flesh. What…what…kind of child was this? The Janitor did not recall seeing something like this when the young child had been administered to the Maw. He looked very hurt and the Janitor had moved him forward to get him into the rest of the accessories to the Maw before he was truly dead, but…he didn't recall the little blonde having THIS amount of strength! What had changed?! How was a pre-teen stronger than him?! The Janitor didn't understand and no answers were coming to him. The only things that were coming to him were pain, dread, and fear. It was then that Janitor heard Naruto speak in a chilling tone.

"Blame yourself. I gave you the chance to walk away. Sorry, but the Naruto who gave second chances…is on a permanent fuckin' vacation!" Naruto said. The Janitor didn't even get to make a grunt of noise before Naruto mercilessly grabbed its head and twisted it. Naruto could feel the bones in the creature naturally resisting this uncomfortable and unfamiliar stretch, but Naruto hardly cared. Six and Naruto heard the cracking and snapping of the Janitor's neck until both heard the final pop came. The Janitor uttered no words and fell to the ground, unmoving. Naruto pulled the last of its lifeforce from its body. Six watched him hold a small black orb in his hands. It was very small and it had a very hazy appearance.

Naruto turned to Six. She watched him appear in front of her. Six looked into his eyes when Naruto held the orb in front of her. "You're hungry, right? Here…eat this. I think you'll like it," Naruto said. The tone of intensity that had been in his voice was now gone. Six, naturally, stared at the orb in suspicion. The girl didn't survive all this time just to lose her life on potential danger, but Naruto seemed very excited and her stomach was starting to upset her a bit. A piece of bread wasn't exactly the most filling thing in the world. Plus, she had nearly been thinking about those rats from earlier. Yes, repulsive, but Six was too damn hungry to give a damn about anyone's sense of what was and wasn't edible.

Naruto saw Six's hesitance. Naruto didn't blame her. He was asking for a large measure of her trust here when they perhaps hadn't even spent a total of ten hours together. Perhaps it was also very stupid, but Naruto didn't accurately know what this orb was either. Well he didn't know how to explain it, but when he had touched that monster…Naruto felt nearly every injury in his body repair itself. Naruto felt…more satisfied than ever before. This feeling was almost as good as ramen. Almost. "I don't think you're going to feel full forever Six. I doubt this is how it works, but I want to survive with you and if this is the best way to do it then I will do it. In this hell that I've found myself in and in the hell, that I experienced in Konoha, it might not mean anything to you, but…you're the only one I can trust in here. You saved me earlier and I've done nothing, but slow us down until now. I will get us out of here, and I want you to know if it was something that would hurt you even more, then I wouldn't even show you this," Naruto said.

Six…wasn't sure how to combat those words. Granted Six wasn't…the trusting type. Yes, yes, kids should be trusting, but the world had a good way of correcting that. Yet, Six found herself feeling awkward at his words. She glanced down at the orb. Suddenly, the orb looked very inviting to her eyes. The way its spherical shape floated in Naruto's hands made it all the more appealing. Six took the orb from Naruto and she held it in her hands. She could feel no weight from it. It was just…floating there in her hands. Six sighed to herself. Whatever, she had eaten worse.

So, Six opened her mouth and swallowed the black misted orb. Six leaned over and Naruto quickly held her. The girl grunted and she gave a light cough, but she felt what Naruto was talking about. The hooded girl could feel hunger leaving her body and she could see her bony disposition start to even out. Physical relief filled her body as the taste of the orb filled her up. Six gave a light pant, but she leaned up. Six did feel better. She actually felt great. She felt…incredible. Yet, neither noticed Six's eyes turn a dark red color almost similar to Naruto's. Her pupils turned into slits for a short moment before turning back to normal.

Six glanced up at Naruto and she saw the satisfaction on his face. Six gave a light smile beneath her hood. Okay, so maybe he had been right. She would let him have his little victory over her for the moment. She definitely wasn't feeling hungry currently either. "Alright, now that we've deal with him…let's get out of here. He came from up there so I bet there is a passage we can take. I'm sick of looking at steel beams," Naruto said. Six definitely agreed.

Naruto helped Six down from the crate and the two walked past the deceased Janitor. Naruto grabbed the edge jutted bars. Naruto climbed upwards along with Six. The girl glanced up and she watched Naruto climb without even a flinch or grunt of pain. Six didn't know why there was a smile on her face, but watching all the work she had put into the blonde and him return it with double, maybe even triple, the effort was so much better than she could have imagined. Yes, his effort was for their sake. For her sake, it was just for her sake that he worked this hard. Yes, he didn't need to work this hard for anyone else. It just had to be for her. Yeah, no one deserved, but her deserved…her hard-working Naruto.

Naruto climbed up to the next platform and he pulled Six up to him. Six steadied herself on top of the platform. She watched Naruto glance left and right. "I think we're moving the right way. This place is called The Maw and glancing at that…thing's memories…I think I can see the pathway out of here. Still we have to go carefully. I only managed to get a glimpse of the other stuff that's in here. For now, let's keep heading up," Naruto said. Six agreed.

The dup quickly moved across the metal platform of the floor. Both stayed close together while Six pulled out her lighter. The darkness began to surround them, but for the first time neither was concerned about the weight of its blackness upon them. In fact, Six found this blackness very pleasant. As with Naruto, the darkness had a way of settling her body and her worries. Images of her former life filled her with contempt and hatred. Yet, this void of unfeeling cloaked her in comfort. Each step both took they could feel the eternal abyss wrapping around them, consuming them, devouring them whole. They enjoyed it without end.

Six turned back to Naruto and she saw the dazed look in his red eyes. She could feel the same sensation rising within her. If they could stay within this darkness forever then she wouldn't have minded that…as long as it wasn't a darkness associated with this ship. Yes, perhaps she belonged in this darkness. How could people complain about the weight of the darkness when it was so inviting? Why fight such a comfortable feeling? For once, Six felt like she belonged in here. If it wasn't for them needing to know where they were going and the time constraints of such, Six wouldn't have minded sitting with Naruto around her absorbing this heavy weight. Unfortunately, they couldn't do that.

Their walk through the dark corridor came to an end when Naruto pushed open a door. Six moved to the other side and Naruto did the same. The door slowly closed behind them. Naruto and Six glanced up at another floor. Both took a look around their surroundings. There wasn't much to see aside from a few of doors with scattered papers and boxes on the ground. The young girl quickly directed her blonde partner's attention to the ventilation duct at the side of a wall. The young Jinchuuriki sighed, but he gave a nod of his head.

Naruto walked over to the base of the duct and lifted Six into it. Six crawled inside the duct. She held out her hand and Naruto quickly grabbed it. It must have been hard for his hooded friend to pull him, but she managed enough to where he could pull himself the rest of the way. Both entered the duct with minimal effort. The young genin quickly pointed upwards. His female partner nodded and they began to climb some of the metal tubes which jutted out of the walls. Naruto grabbed one tube and pulled himself up while Six move below him and followed after him. Sweat dripped down both their faces, but neither was willing to take a break. Perhaps Naruto didn't need Six to agree, but they had been stopping a bit too much for his liking.

Naruto wondered how screwed up his sense of time had become since he had been down here. Granted, he surmised that he had only arrived in this facility…either a day or two ago, but he couldn't tell when was night and when was day. There was only darkness in this place. It was a darkness that weighed heavier than the blackness of night. Honestly, he wondered how Six had survived for so long down here, but given her character…Naruto had a vague idea. Oddly enough, he couldn't help being amazed at that part of her. He couldn't help being amazed at that survival instinct of hers.

"No, who are you kidding? You love it. You want her. Take her! Devour her! What are you so scared of? Take her everything! She would let you. She's worth more than those others sluts back in Konoha that you knew. At least this one has actually faced true terror and look at her. Look at the sweat which gleams from her brow. How hard could your so-called friends have worked to gather even a miniscule amount of the same? Pfft Ino Yamanaka? Pathetic waste of space. Sakura Haruno? Need I really speak? Even Hinata Hyuga…deep inside you always knew she watched you. Yes, you longed for it. You longed for someone to see your greatness. Well now, you have it in a much more worthy female, do you not? Imagine if she met those three? Imagine if she showed pure dominance over them both. Yes, that smile on your face says it all," The voice said.

As Naruto climbed, he had a crazy smile on his face. Yeah, Six…was so much better than all of them. Just…just…just as he was better than ALL of Konoha. Naruto turned around and faced her. The hooded girl blinked when she saw Naruto stare deep at her. His red eyes flared madly in the darkness of the ducts. He glared at her so powerfully that Six refused to look away from his gaze. No, perhaps refused was the wrong word. She detested the mere thought of turning from his view. There was something hypnotic about his dark, twisted smile. There was something about it that she felt…attracted to. Her once white, now red eyes stared back into his own. His power radiated from his body. Six wanted it. Six wanted it so badly. She wanted…to devour him. Yes, only she could do it. She would let no one else do it.

Six didn't realize it, but she reached forward from the tube she stood on. Her hooded face eased into his own. Naruto leaned back and his face inched towards her own. The black mist which surrounded their bodies began to circulate together. The ducts were filled with the black mist. The metal crunched together under its weight as Naruto as Six felt their red eyes pierce into each other. It didn't take long before the young jinchuuriki pressed past the covered girl's hood. It was too dark for him to see her full face, but Naruto could feel the faintness of her breath upon his lips. Their vision grew hazy. Thoughts of devouring the other filled their minds. Yet…their eyes couldn't have been closer. "Devour," they both thought simultaneously. It was almost as if the wretchedness of the abyss formed for one moment but to bring these two and their thoughts to one collision. Scenes filled their heads. Untold images of fire and blackness raced through them as a desire filled each of them.

A massive clash of metal snapped them both from their gaze. Naruto panted as his blazing aura of his red eyes lessened until they were little more than shining rubies in the night. Six released a tired breath as well. Both could feel their breath tickling the other. Six…almost couldn't even breath. No one had ever gotten this close to her before and…Naruto was close enough that the uncomfortable feeling had overtaken her body. She hadn't seen it, but her face quickly matched her eyes. Yet…despite this unsettling feeling…she still couldn't look away.

"S-Sorry, I don't know what got into me," Naruto apologized. He backed away and removed himself from Six's hood granting her the safety of the dark to hide her features. Naruto peeled back and sighed. He couldn't understand the what was happening to them both. The darkness which festered in his heart was almost too much for him to even contain. Hatred, attraction, desire, anger, sadness, greed, and love all battled inside of him and he felt he was close to losing his mind. Was the Maw doing this to them? Making them feel this…darkened attraction to each other? Naruto wasn't sure. Though, he assumed, his partner was marginally younger than him…she still had that mysterious lure that he couldn't fight. It wasn't like Sakura where he tried to as her on dates. Naruto admitted he did like Sakura…once upon a time before wishing to suck all remains of life and leave her a dried-up prune on the ground, but with Six…there wasn't just a dark attraction. There was…longing.

"I-I'm gonna go see what that noise was," Naruto said as he climbed. He wished he had some water right now because his throat was way too dry for his liking. Six watched him go and she wished she could say that she moved immediately after him, but she didn't. That feeling still held her. Her body was too warm just watching the way Naruto moved. She feared she would fall for she was not in control of her own movements.

Meanwhile, Naruto pulled himself out of the duct hole. Confusion was etched on his face. Naruto was not used to…whatever this was. From his upbringing, Naruto had a very…skewed measure of common sense when it came to physical attraction. Naruto did not understand his attachment to Six. Other than perhaps his love for her utter survival instinct, he wasn't sure where anymore of his…attraction to her was coming from. It was like…her cold, heartless nature spoke to him.

Naruto didn't know how to describe it other than that. Whatever power he now had was drawing him to her darkness even more. Naruto shook his head and he tried to focus on their current situation. The blonde glanced up and he was surprised to see several meat hooks pass his field of view. Each one flew by him. He watched them move towards the outer area. In that outer area, Naruto could feel another creature with a massive lifeforce. The red-eyed blonde couldn't resist biting his lower lip at the thought, but he had to keep things in perspective. The information he got from the Janitor was limited. That piece of shit never really left his section of the ship. He only left at certain times of the year and that was to update his status via a phone which he grunted into. His food was delivered to him via a conveyor belt and even then, he didn't eat very much. Whatever these monsters were…they ran on better efficiency than even most shinobi, Naruto realized.

Naruto walked towards the exit that the hooks rotated out of. Once again, he saw the immense corridors of the Maw. At least this damn place had a name now. Massive machinery pieces operated effectively. Honestly, Naruto wondered if he could damage them in anyway, but he quickly dismissed the thought. He didn't know how close they were to getting out of the ship and destroying it could make it sink, which…spelled very bad problems for him and Six. Plus, Naruto couldn't tell how…strong he actually was. To say, Naruto hadn't had a proper fight yet. The Janitor was very slow and Naruto easily knew he could wipe its presence from his face. Now, could Naruto say he could do this to perhaps Kakashi? Naruto doubted it, at least for right now. The idea of taking even Kakashi's lifeforce made Naruto smile. Honestly, even his imagination was scaring him. Well, it was in a good way.

The blonde turned around and saw Six finally climb out of the duct. She glanced up at the moving hooks that Naruto had been looking at as well. "I think we can ride these. Look over there," Naruto said. Six walked close to him and looked out into the massive abyss-like corridor of the Maw. She saw exactly what Naruto had been seeing. Both saw the platform that the hooks went into. The hooded girl agreed though she did not notice she was leaning a bit closer to Naruto than she actually wanted.

Naruto suddenly grabbed Six, much to her surprise, and then he grabbed one of the hooks. The hooks definitely weren't as sharp as Naruto was thinking. They were a lot broader so there was more of them to grab, but the metal digging into his flesh was a tad uncomfortable. He felt Six squirm in his grasp, but they were already moving out. Six stared into the bottomless darkness and she decided that now would be a good time to hug Naruto, though she contemplated punching him later.

Both traveled up the hooks. Their red eyes took in the entire environment around them. Slowly, Naruto's vision brought him to the massive lifeforce he had felt earlier. He stared at it with a wide smile on his face. "Six," He called. The very, very, very, uncomfortable girl turned around to her partner's voice. Her red eyes quickly zoned in on the black mist which surrounded the main source of her discomforts. Six noticed the black streak flow its way upwards and it circled itself around another being. This one was much fatter than the Janitor. Her red eyes pierced the darkness and while she could make out its shape…she couldn't get a definite visual because it was too far away.

Despite this, Six's eyes shined in the dark. Strange, she never imagined herself loving the idea of a long life. Perhaps that was a little silly given her drive for survival, but survival meant domination over others. Her survival meant her utter superiority over the horrors within this ship. It meant that she was more than them. It meant that compared to her…they were all worth nothing. They were beneath her notice. Yeah, why waste a lifeforce on those who couldn't even fight to contain it? Six could take it! Give that lifeforce to someone who could actually do something with it! Give. It. To. HER!

Naruto and Six watched the creature walk off into another room separate from their own. Meanwhile, both rode the hook into the next room. Naruto let go of the hook. It was a short fall which helped them as they landed on a pile packaged meat. Both collapsed down and released coughs. The blonde genin groaned as he shook his head. He leaned up and so did his female partner. "You alright?" He asked. Six rolled her neck, but she nodded.

Naruto stepped on the packaged piles. Whatever was inside made a lot of squishy noise. Naruto watched the white cloth that he stood on slowly turn red. "Blood?" Naruto thought. He saw Six quickly motioning for him to go through the door with her. Naruto glanced back at the body bag. He narrowed his eyes, but he didn't think about it any longer. He walked down and went after the rushing girl.

Both passed through the open door. A flickering light at the top of the room would have been their only source of light if not for the black mist coursing through their bodies allowing them to pierce the darkness with their eyes. Naruto passed a mountain of dirty, bloody body bags. Each bag they passed made Naruto uneasy. Those bloodstains didn't fill Naruto with confidence. It wasn't like he was worried what caused them, but he was worried what this meant for the thing that caused all of this.

The jinchuuriki quickly noticed his hooded friend moving climbing a steel banner. If there was one thing Naruto wished Six had more of then it would have been at least a sense of wanting to know what kind of people they were dealing with here. Naruto started having a good idea, but it was clear that Six cared too much for her own survival to be the curious type. Granted, yes, Naruto knew that curiosity was a very dangerous thing. Trust that he would understand that more than anyone, but, for once, Naruto was going to get something out of that waste of life, Hatake Kakashi's lesson about looking underneath the underneath. He had been trying to do that with the Maw. It was perhaps the one, and only, lesson that lonely, pathetic smut-reading cyclops could ever get any credit. Congratulations Kakashi, you passed basic teacher school. A round of fuckin' applause.

Anyway, Naruto just shook his head at Six, but…that was one of her most charming points in his mind. Naruto jumped off the sacks and quickly made it up to Six. She pointed upwards and Naruto saw another open window. He quickly agreed with her course of action. Naruto hopped to the floor and readied himself. Six jumped forward and Naruto pushed her up to the window. She quickly grabbed it and pulled herself up. She turned back to Naruto, however she noticed it was too large for Naruto on his own. Indeed, he noticed this as well.

"You go on ahead. I'll catch up with you," Naruto said. Six frowned underneath her hood. She remembered the last time he had said those words and the result was her watching him suddenly have the power to rip the Janitor's arms off. That was before he literally began sucking the life out of the monster. Forgive Six if she…was a bit skeptical. However, unknown to her, Naruto could feel her skepticism. Okay, perhaps Naruto had to be a little sheepish this time. Naruto released a breath.

"Look, there is a door to the left of us. I'll go that way and then I'll just loop around to you. I promise this time! We'll only be separated for...at most five minutes," Naruto assured. He watched his hooded friend look at him. He wondered what kind of face she was making. Naruto felt suddenly felt a heavy presence from Six. While her mist wasn't as heavy as his own, she still seemed to have an interesting command over it. No doubt she seemed to be informing him what she would do to him if anything deviated his little plan. He gave her a firm nod and she released a sigh. The young girl hopped over the side of the window while Naruto scratched the back of his head.

Naruto turned left and walked out of the double doors. Naruto groaned as a harsh light came over the room. He noticed the hard, dreary color on the floor. Boxes filled with food and various ingredients stocked the shelves to his right and to his left. Yet, Naruto made no move to touch the products. His body's need for nutrients had been mostly sated from devouring the Janitor's lifeforce. Don't even ask Naruto how, because he didn't know either. It also helped that most of this stuff looked very rotten.

The blonde quickly noticed a lone table in the middle of the room. There laid a massive knife stabbed into its wooden frame. Along with it was a massive pile of unfinished meat. Its putrid odor filled the room and Naruto crinkled his nose. However, he found himself climbing up a stool which laid next to the table. Naruto pulled himself to the table. He looked down at the slice up meat. It strangely looked like the same type of meat he had eaten back in his cell before he had passed out. "So…this is the kitchen area? Maybe I should have brought Choji here. That tub of lard would love this place along with the rest of his family." Naruto thought. The bitterness filled his mind, but he chose to disregard it for now. Soon Naruto. You just had to be patient.

In any case, Naruto now at least had another piece of this place solved. Whatever these things were, by the number of dishes in the cabinets, they loved to eat. Now Naruto didn't mean regular person eat. These things loved to Akimichi eat. That…was a disgusting notion in and of itself. So this place definitely had massive servings of food, and massive servings of food needed…guests. Naruto glared down. Something was wrong. This much food didn't just come from nowhere.

Naruto heard a crack of a door to his far left. Cold air flowed from the door. Naruto gave one last glance at the meat on the table before he walked over to the open door. Cold air flowed from Naruto's mouth as he stepped into the massive fridge. Naruto's feet touched the cold, icy floors. Strange that this cold was felt on Naruto's skin, but he didn't shiver. It was as if the cold wisped across his skin. Naruto didn't know why, but the Uzumaki jinchuuriki decided to disregard those concerns for a bigger issue.

He noticed body bags on the ground. He frowned, but he knelt down to one of them. Cold air escaped Naruto's mouth as he grabbed one of the bags. His curiosity filled his mind. He glanced up and he noticed each bag hanging from the ceiling on hooks. Meat hooks, to be more precise. So…this was the meat that those creatures used to feed. Perhaps if Naruto could destroy some of this source then he could slow them down. It's not like he was hungry right now.

Naruto unzipped the body bag. Slowly, his eyes grew more and more. Naruto's breath quickened and for the first time since entering this room, Naruto shivered. The young jinchuuriki was hyperventilating. Bile rose in his throat. His red eyes flared dangerously in the room and his teeth clenched against each other. The black mist swirled around the room in a massive frenzy of destruction. The black mist spun so fast that each body bag was sliced into pieces. The contents in the bags spilled over the room. In his anger, the Kyuubi jinchuuriki bathed the fridge in blood. "I…I will…I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Naruto roared at the top of his lungs. He screamed as the body of meat laid at his feet. The body…of a small child laid in front of him.

Naruto didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but his stomach had been grumbling. It had grumbled so much that Naruto felt even sicker than he had been before. He felt like his entire body was trying to eat itself. Naruto scrunched up his body and opened one of his eyes. Naruto widened his eyes when he noticed a piece of bread and a piece of meat in his cell. Naruto didn't remember hearing anyone near the bars when he had been sleeping. Naruto couldn't explain how badly he wanted to reach for the food, but Kakashi had literally drilled it into his head to be cautious.

Naruto felt his stomach lurch. He panted heavily. His forehead was starting to sweat. Unbearable pain began to form in his body. Naruto tightly held onto his stomach. Naruto crawled towards the food and he picked up the bread. He decided to think about it in the way of if whoever had caught him wanted him dead then they would have killed him when they saw him and not gone through the risk of capturing him.

Naruto grabbed the bread and he ate it hungrily. He swallowed it and he then turned to the meat. It was cold and hard, but food was food. Naruto ate and swallowed it leaving nothing behind. Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. The pain in his stomach had left him almost instantly and he felt much better.

Naruto had…eaten a human? Naruto had…eaten…a child? Nauto…committed cannibalism. His claws strained against his skin and Naruto bled them into his head. Vomit flowed out of Naruto's mouth and onto the cold floor. The metal of the fridge cracked and crumbled. It creaked as the black mist forced its will on the metal contraption. Naruto inhaled and cried. "DO YOU HEAR ME?! I AM GOING TO DEVOUR ALL OF YOU!" Naruto hollered as loud as he could.

Outside if the Maw, the ocean rocked as the floating deathtrap and a ship connected it rocked violently. Waves crashed against each other as mysterious beings attempted to cross a massive bridge. Each was probably even more obese than the one before it. Some of them dropped into the water and drowned from their massive weight. The black mist danced in the wild air. The black mist then split itself into a section of tendrils. Each tendril blasted into the sea. The lifeforce of the drowning beings flowed into the black mist without mercy. Each life taken added to Naruto's own lifeforce in response to his anger.

One of the cooks groaned in anguish as the food spilled over the floor. The other, which had been resting before its shift, fell out of the bed due to the ship massive rocking. It slammed its face on the hard wood planks. The books, pictures, and supplies which adorned their room crashed onto the ground. The food in the kitchen toppled over. The ovens spilled their contents. The black mist flew over it all and ruined it indiscriminately. Nothing was safe.

From her place, a very tall, masked woman watched the chaos around her. Yet, behind her mask, was no worry. In fact, she smiled underneath her mask. The black mist which swirled around her calmly danced with the mad black mist in the air. Yes, scream to her. She had done this all for you. Do not betray her expectations. It had been a lot of effort to get the blonde into this realm. Yes, be angry. The woman watched her shattered mirrors crumble to the ground. Yes, be hateful. Hate her! Hate them! Hate this place. Let the hate fill your heart. Then…become…the next bearer of the All Dark.

Meanwhile, Six watched the chaos ensue around her. She saw the food and plates crash to the ground. Yet, this was not her main concern. Her main concern was the feeling of utter pain, anger, and hatred that her senses felt from Naruto. Make no mistake, she heard his cries from the other side of the wall, but…Six didn't know where this sudden hate for the Maw. She wanted this place to burn. Yes, escape mattered to her, but this ship's utter death of all monstrous inhabitants filled her with want and desire. Her eyes, from where she hid, gleamed in the darkness. The black mist swirled in the air and it swirled around her. Yet, Six was not worried about this blackness. While it ravaged all around her, it did not seek to harm her. Rather, it coated itself around her. It was possessive of her. Nothing was allowed near her in its presence. This black mist...felt just like Naruto.

The hooded girl brought her head up when she heard a crash. She watched as a massive, bloated…creature wearing a large white chef's hat with matching apron. Yet, what did make Six wary of the creature was not only its height and its body, but…also that stitched mask of dead skin which resembled a face. The way it slid down by gravity almost making it looked like a jumbled mess of flesh that didn't adhere to whatever laid beneath its skin. The young girl heard it frantically trying to save the shelves from being pushed over. Spoils and spoils of food fell on its face and the floor. It's unworldly groans of frustration filled her ears.

Anger filled Six's heart and body at this creature. Utter disgust filled her will. Her red eyes zeroed in on the creature's form. Perhaps she was crazy. Perhaps she was just overwhelmed by this power, but…Six stepped out of her hiding spot. The lifeforce-taking mist surrounded her intensely. The…chef-looking creature turned to her and growled in another tone she was unaware of.

As the kitchen descended into chaos around them, Six and the Chef stared at each other. The Chef groaned as it tried to keep the kitchen together, but its surprise couldn't have been bigger than when it saw the swirl of the dark energy around Six's body. The Chef gave a beast-like howl at her, but for once, Six didn't feel that she need to be concerned. She could tell that it was not prepared to deal with her. She looked at all of the chaos around them. All it could do was hold a lone shelf. For once, she was in control. She could feel Naruto's immense hatred for the Maw and like a rod for lightning, she willingly soaked it up.

The yellow-coated girl walked forward. She was undeterred by the destruction around her. Her eyes zoned in on the Chef. She could see his franticness and she strangely loved the look of fear in its eyes. For once in her life, Six could feel control. She need not be afraid. It was cornered and it could only watch as the young girl appeared at its feet. It stared at her miniscule form, but it could do nothing, but watch.

Yes, Six hated it too, Naruto. She absolutely hated this need to push herself just to survive! She hated being hunted and contained like some animal. She had making all of these disgusting choices. But more than anything, she absolutely hated how in pain you were. The girl could feel it. This monster in front of her was one of the main reasons for it.

As smashes of glass and spoiled food fell on the ground, Six raised her arm. The darkness followed her whims and her desires. She wanted this thing to feel pain. She wanted to do to this chef, what Naruto had done to the Janitor. She wanted to crush their feeble resistances to her freedom. And, she would do just that. The blackness coated her right hand. It quickly formed itself into a sharp hand of powerfully sharp claws.

Six stabbed one of the black claws into the Chef. He screeched, but his voice was drowned out by the noise around them. Meanwhile, Six made the Chef bleed from its lower leg. Her claw scratched it harder and harder. She could feel its lifeforce slowly adding to her own. The Chef's strength quickly started to fade. Blood gurgled from its lips, but his little tormentor did not let up on her pressure. With just one finger, she had brought it to mercy. If Six could see her face…then she would have seen the darkest smile on it.

The girl circled her finger over the Chef's leg until she came full circle. The life fluid of her victim spilled onto the floor and the Chef couldn't help falling to his knees in agony. The shelf which it had been holding fell and crashed the Chef beneath its weight. The dust didn't bother Six as her clothes blew in its wind before settling. She heard the Chef groan under the shelf. It stared at her in anger, but forgive Six if she wasn't shaking in her coat at the moment.

Six was ready to extract all she needed out of it. Even as chaos surrounded her, she was calm. She looked at its disfigured face. Six flexed her dark, twisted claws telling the Chef-like monster just what she would do to it soon. Her arm reached out to grant it the most immense pain she could think of. Yet, this did not happen as both heard the door at the far end of the room come crashing down. Suddenly, Six's eyes grew hazy. That uncomfortable feeling had returned in full force because she could see wide, glowing red eyes through the dust. She could feel immense pressure and for once she found herself…attracted to it.

The hooded girl watched Naruto come through the door. His once bright blonde hair had darkened into a harder yellow color. His eyes, oh by the darkness his eyes, were so deadly. Six could make out some type of markings on his face, but she didn't understand what they meant. All she understood was that her darkness was calling to him. Her body felt light and her mind was filled with an essence she couldn't identify. She watched Naruto drop to the floor. His steps were full of anger, wrath, hatred, disgust, and…authority.

Naruto stared down at the Chef. "Was it you? Are you the one who made me eat that?! Are you the one who made me eat a piece of a human?!" Naruto asked angrily. The black mist whirled around him. The Chef gave a grunt for an answer and Naruto didn't like it. The Chef screeched in Naruto and Six's face when the angered blonde grabbed its putrid skin and pulled it hard enough to rip some of it off. Blood spilled over the floor like water. The Chef was helpless to move under the weight of the shelf it once tried to hold up as Naruto glared down at it like it was nothing more than a piece of dirt to be stepped on by his shoes.

"ANSWER ME!" Naruto hollered as he raised his hand. Six could see the massive darkness surround it. Her friend was ready to end the creature's life in front of them without mercy just as he had done to the janitor. Six felt her body grow hot. Her darkness…her nightmare…wished to meld with his own. Before Naruto could finish the violent act, Six grabbed his arm. The blonde paused mid swing. He turned to glare murderously at her partner for even attempting to stop him, but all of his hate for her interruption when out the window when he looked at her. How could he be angry at her? When he stared at her all he could handle was that she held the same hatred as he did. She held the same disdain for life within this ship. She did not think bad of him. There was not a single shred of hatred for him in her body. The black mist escaped his body and swirled with her own black power. Yes, they were both angry. They would destroy this place until there was not a single piece of metal to remain of its presence. They would do it…together. Yet, for that to happen they needed this tub of lard alive…for a couple of a seconds.

Naruto was not aware of his own consciousness. Neither was Six. For the darkness controlled them both. It filled their minds of a dark union, an eternal dark union. The black mist covered their bodies aware from anything which could be seen. The Chef grunted in its tone that no one understood, yet…in the darkness…Six raised her arms. She grazed her partner's whiskered cheeks with her hands. His eyes softened to her touch. Yes, he didn't need Konoha, he didn't need those worthless pieces of garbage, he didn't even need the world. All he needed, but this girl in front of him. He needed this one that oozed strength no one of his former useless peers could compare to. Soon, Naruto found himself pulled. Six pulled Naruto's face in the dark and his face came into her yellow hood. Naruto's lips touched Six's lips. Neither was surprised, but the darkness which covered them seemed so heavy that it quickly encased the entire area of that ship where they had been before. The Nomes, as frightened as they were, felt oddly happy in this wave of darkness. It reminded them of…the kind ones. The darkness blasted out of the ship and into the sky, darkening the clouds and the sea around them.

Six wrapped her arms around Naruto. She pulled him closer. Their red eyes glared into the depths of each other. Both could hide nothing from themselves. Six…closed her eyes. Naruto did the same. It was such an amazing feeling. Neither was sure what this meant for their survival, but…all they knew what that this darkness could only have been perfect if it were filled with the blood of all who defied them.

KG: Hmmm, I guess that's good enough. (Blah blah blah Six too young, blah blah blah no development, blah blah blah I can make it better) yup, that's how done I am.

Wifey: They will hate you.

KG: I'll make sure to add them to this list of other people who do. Obviously, I'm at the top of the list.

Wifey; You have no idea how sad that is.

KG: Oh no, trust me. I know. Anyway, that's all folks. Stay Breezy, protect what's important to you, review, and SEND ME CREAM SODA!

Wifey: No.

KG: Also…

Wifey: Blah, blah, blah respect…blah blah blah…cream. That's how done I am.

KG:….
