Moon walk

PAIN. FEAR. HARSHNESS. This is what raced through the head of the lone nin. As the figure walked on he had to hold back a scream of pain. It started from his stomach and began to spread. Falling against a tree the nin gasped.

No. Please. Don't.' A deep brassy chuckle sounded in his head.

'We had an agreement.' The nin curled up into a ball as the pain swirled around him.

He shook in pain as red flooded his eyes. His teeth sharpening. He did not want this. This was not what he asked for. Without warning he felt the feeling of falling. When he opened his eyes a great beast stood before him. Its wild red eyes were wide with amusement. He no longer felt pain. Yet in his dim little world he saw red bubbles pooling around. They dissolved parts of the wall and the smell of burning filled his nose.

"Boy, you dare say this is not what you wanted." The boy looked away.

"I asked for something but not.." A growl filled the air as the beast lunged. Yet the boy did not move.

"Never call me a liar. I never tell lies." A hissing rose in the air as the water began to boil.

The beast was angry. The boy ignored the feeling as he looked at the wall the bubbles was tearing down. The huge beast rose up once again as he looked at the wall.

"What has been done has been done. This is a one way trip boy." The boy stared some more.

"Go look into it." Before the boy could respond a hefty paw pushed him forward.

The bubbles scurried away. Before him stood a mirror. The boy could see himself. Behind him stood the great beast a smile upon its lips. The boy walked forward. The closer he walked the more the image wavered. Just as he was about to reach out and touch it a throbbing filled the room. The bubbles surged. He was engulfed. The boy felt cool air. He struggled to reach the room but the beast's great flames rose. As the pain engulfed him he swore he saw a red moon.

"Wake up!" The boy blinked as light engulfed his vision. The girl before him gave a questioning look. The familiar pink haired nin put her hand on him in confusion.

"Naruto are you ok." The blonde haired nin nodded.

"I'm fine Sakura-chan." The turning of a page brought Naruto's attention to the other nin present.

The silver haired nin looked at the boy questioningly. His lax eye betrayed the layers of depth into which it searched.

"Naruto you betrayed protocol last night. What were you doing." Naruto looked away as he stood.

"Nothing Kakashi-sensei." Kakashi simply gave him one more look before he picked up his baggage.

The silver haired nin and the pink one waited for the blonde one to join them. Once Naruto joined them the team took off. Naruto hung back further then usual. Kakashi could sense his distress. This worried him. Naruto could run full speed effortlessly for days with or without sleep. One night of no sleep could not possibly account for this. Nearly tripping over himself he realized Naruto was low, dangerously low on charka. Naruto suddenly tripped. Sakura dashed to catch him. Naruto caught her hand as he gasped in shock. His blue eyes were dull. Hanging from the branch he pulled himself up. Seeing the concerned looks of his comrades Naruto turned away.

"Sorry." SWISH.

Naruto's eyes suddenly contracted before he pulled Sakura down. Before she could get the chance to scream, a kunai lay embedded in bark right where her head was just mere seconds ago. The trio dropped to the ground as nin swarmed around them. A sharp voice issued from the leaves.

"Looks like we have some stray leaves in our forest's boys." Said a mocking a voice.

Naruto wrinkled his nose at their smell. Blood stained their scents. Kakashi narrowed his eyes at their approach. Sakura put on her gloves while Naruto grabbed a kunai.

'This is pathetic. I can't even grip a kunai.' Naruto blinked as his vision began to waver. A shuriken wheeled in his vision. He barely blocked it. Then he heard it in his head. That scratching laugh. 'NO not now please no!' 'No! now is your chance. You need to feed, Your killing us. Let their blood run thick.' A pulse vibrated from within. Naruto fell to the ground in agony. "No, Please no." He screamed in agony. The clearing paused to look at the ailing boy. The leader of the nin took this as his chance to strike. Naruto looked up as the ninja ran towards him. The man was tall with a thick wild mane of brown hair. His yellow teeth were flashing in glee, while is unintelligent gaze bore into his with a deep look of blood lust. Red eyes flashed in his mind. A hailstorm of kunai aimed at him. He couldn't block and his teamates were to far away. "I'm sick of your games brat!" The Kunais collided.

Sakura could hear screaming. She just didn't know it was hers. She stared in horror as Naruto lay in a pile of blood. Without realizing it her feet carried her forward. She was about to make it when something caught her. She narrowed her eyes from her stupidity as she struggled in the vice grip. Cool steel pressed against her throat.

"I wouldn't move if I was you pinky."

Not far from her Kakashi was being swarmed. How had they have not noticed the sheer volume of nin here? She looked at Naruto as he lay deathly still in his pool of blood. The nin who had dealt the blow walked over to the bloody boy.

"Heh who would have thought it was this easy." Resting his feet on the boy's face he called out to Kakashi.

Kakashi who was in the process of dispatching a nin when the voice of the leader penetrated the fighting. "Make a move and your pretty student dies copy cat. You and your little team has been in the bingo book for some time now and it is going to bring a hefty bounty in soon enough." Kakashi narrowed his eyes as he allowed the nins to disarm him.

Kakashi realized Naruto on the ground. A cool fear began to seep into him. The leader nin bent down and grabbed Naruto by the hair. "Heh he wasn't in it though. I can see why. Lucky he managed to survie this long." Dropping Naruto he failed to notice the twitch he made when he collided with the dirt. Walking over to Sakura he stroked her face as she glowered at him.

"You however blossom shall stay with us…" Before he could finish blood began to pour from his mouth.

A sickening noise of tearing flesh was heard as he fell. Sakura's eyes hung wide in surprise at the blood red eyes she locked with. The figure dropped to the ground. In its jaws a blood soaked spine hung. The figure snapped it between its jaws before it leapt away. The nin let go of their hostages as they went to fight the beast. The beast dashed between them tearing limbs and organs with it. It seemed to glide on the wind as it leapt form victim to victim leaving a flaming trail behind it. When the last nin dropped it stood above the pile of bodies. It licked its lips in pure ecstasy as it stood on top of the corpses. Laughter poured from its lips as the beast thrashed about. It howled with joy as it stared at the remaining nin.

"Oh how long has it been since I've laid waste to you puny humans. I have forgotten how supple your flesh was." It' voice came out silky soft yet held a familiarity to it. A Shuriken flew at the beast. The beast simply blocked it with the forehead protector around its neck.

"I guess these things tend to have their uses. However you.." Before Kakashi could move the beast had its hands about his throat.

"Are nothing but a mere plaything before my greatness." Kakashi's sharingan began to spin. The beast simply lifted its lips into a feral smile.

"How dare you believe such a inferior thing will work on me." the beast's grip tightened. "Don't forget boy that It was I who reduced the clan of uchiha by more than half in a single night."

As if to emphasize this the beast's own burning red eyes stared into Kakashi's as the beast looked into him Kakashi fought off a shiver of fear.The beast's red eyes rolled to the left.

"Ah and you girl." The beast let go of Kakashi as it stalked gracefully towards her. It waved its tail as it locked eyes with her.

As sakura looked into those eyes she trembled. She could see a level of blood lust not even Orochimaru could cast. Those red eyes which reminded her so much of blood. Sakura felt herself stepping back. Were those the cruel eyes many ninja had fallen beneath. Were those the eyes that caused Naruto to cry out at night?

"I think the kit is smarter then I thought." The beast gave her a crocked smirk before its face twisted in agony. The beast's fell to the ground as it dug its claws into the dirt and roared in rage,

"You bastard. Can't let me have a little fun eh? Worried… Ah I see." The beast looked up a smirk across its lips. "I'll see you all later. Oh and remember show me due respect or else…."

The beast gave one more haunting chuckled before its eyes closed and it fell to the ground. Sakura dropped to the ground while Kakashi walked forward. His sharingan spun warily as he knelt down before the beast. His eyes widened in surprise as he touched it. This was not good. Kakashi frowned as he felt fur beneath his gloved hands. He stared at the Large blonde fox that lay in the glade. About its neck the Konoha forehead protector shone in the light. Its face closed in a form of peace. Kakashi looked over to Sakura who placed her hands on the fox's body. She closed her eyes as her charka flooded into the foxes veins. Kakashi watched her begin to sweat before she dropped her hands from his body. She turned to Kakashi.

"This isn't a henge. Its Naruto."
