This is the first chapter in what I hope will be an exciting and enjoyable series that was started under the 2nd NarutoxHellsing challenge by the one and only Challenger after we got in contact and I took on the challenge.

The challenge will be on my profile if you want to a slight outline as to what you can expect to see in this story. Though as most challenges go I'll be adding my own herbs and spices into the mix to give it my own unique flavour. (Suddenly I'm hungry...)

I'm very excited to be writing this as it will be alongside my other fic that you may see some common themes to. Then again you may not. As I like to say, "I promise nothing and hint at everything." Anyway. Criticism would be appreciated as well as your ideas for consideration however remember that just because you send me a message or review with your Ideas/demands that doesn't mean I'll do it. remember. this is my fic.

Anyway. On with the story!

Hellsing in Konoha

XXX XXX XXX

It started out like it had for the past few years. Naruto would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat on the verge of tears after yet another nightmare. He'd spend the rest of the night trying to calm himself down bascially twitching at almost every sound he'd hear.

When 8:00 am rolled around he'd quickly put on his mask of idiocy and await the Hokage whom he often called Jiji. The Hokage would take Naruto for ramen and spend a few hours chatting with the boy before parting ways with him around midday.

Naruto would then go off to some secluded training ground or back to his run down apartment and study for the academy. He needed to use almost all his spare time just to get himself a barely passing grade due to everything being rigged.

When the sun started to set and the festival started he'd quickly leave his house trying to avoid too much damage being done to it. He'd then simply wait. He'd long since given up trying to hide. The ninja with the weird eyes could always find him. Just because he didn't bother hiding didn't mean he'd lay down and take it.

"There's the demon! Get him!" Was the call of a large, burly looking man.

Naruto quickly turned tail and started sprinting through the streets. He'd never agreed with the whole hiding in the shadows. It seemed cowardly to him. He'd rather beat his opponent with his own strength against theirs. It was a sort of honour to him in this world where children killed for money because they were told to and think nothing of it.

"Get after him!" Another person cried as they watched the boy disappear into an alley way.

Naruto was never a very strong boy but what he lacked in strength he made up for in agility and flexibility He easily used that to his advantage basically jumping obstacles and such to try and increase the gap.

Sparring a glance over his shoulder, Naruto noticed that currently there were no ninja in the mob which meant he wouldn't have to worry about them for about 15 minutes before the news of the 'fox hunt' spread about the village like wild fire.

After turning back to look in front of him Naruto had to duck under a swing from a villager who'd ran around to cut him off. 'thank Kami I'm short for my age.' Naruto thought.

Naruto was very short for his age. He was twelve years old and still only stood about 4'2 with a rather lean build. He was often unable to find decent food and thus it stunted his growth quite severely.

After ducking the swing and realising he'd just ran straight into the middle of the main street of konoha where most of the festival goers would be he froze for and instant until he heard the shouts of the mob behind him.

"Get back here Kyuubi Brat!" one of them called. Soon several people from the main street looked to see what was going on and found Naruto looking like a deer caught in the headlights before he quickly dashed off.

He looked back again to see the group chasing him had at least tripled in size and a few were brandishing weapons such a planks, pipes, knives and anything else they could get their hands on. Then he spotted the ninja on the roof tops.

It was almost like it was all organised. The ninja would stick to the roofs of the buildings to get a birds eye look on the boy making escape harder while the larger body of the civillians could kept him moving so he tired out and couldn't turn back.

Whenever he tried to go towards the Hokage tower ninja would jump down and bar his passage. It was almost like they were animals simply toying with their prey.

Naruto soon decided he needed to try getting past one of the ninja before they lead him to some dead end alley. He saw a turn coming up ahead and made a decision. When he saw one of the younger looking ninja drop down with a kunai in hand who was trying to look threatening, Naruto rushed him which surprised the boy.

Naruto shoulder barged the Genin but as he did the Genin jammed the Kunai into his shoulder joint eliciting a scream from Naruto who quickly applied pressure without removing the obtrusion. (1)

After another 15 minutes of being chased through Konoha and only receiving a few more injuries in the form of cuts and blunt objects being thrown at him, Naruto ran straight through an old looking pair of metal gates with a strange crest with a swirl in two of the corners and a rook in the bottom right.

The courtyard leading up to the large run down mansion seemed completely devoid of life as gnarled trees, dead grass and weeds seemed to be all that remained of a once beautiful garden.

Without even thinking he quickly burst through the large double doors while thanking which ever god was watching over him and fighting his usually horrible luck. He ducked inside and closed the door quickly running down a hallway just as the door was kicked open roughly by one of the ninja with a greatly chakra enhanced kick.

Due to there being Hyuga in the crowd they quickly gave chase once more. They caught up to Naruto in a long hallway with a door at the end. Without a second thought Naruto made a mad dash for the other end and threw the door open to see a long set of stairs leading down into the darkness.

In an instant Naruto suffered a faint spell due to the blood loss from the blade still sticking out of his shoulder. He fell straight down the long set of stairs managing to land himself a few broken bones in the process as well as getting all the air knocked from his lungs.

"Hah! he ran downstairs! We've got him know. You two stay up here and make sure he doesn't get out. We'll go down." Shouted one of the Chunin at a pair of Genin.

after hearing this, the blood covered blond started trying to drag himself across the room leaving a smeared bloody trail from the blood on his clothing. Once he got as far as he could which consisted of a sort of cell with the remains of a women in it, he turned around to see the group slowly and deliberately closing in on him. There were about four Chunin , three Genin and a large group of civillians.

Naruto flipped himself onto his back and looked up at the man in charge with clear hatred in his eyes. He just hoped the man would drop dead.

"Well, well, well. What have we here? A little fox trapped in a dark dungeon." He sneered out. "You killed so many people close to us. You murders friends, family, lovers even children!" he shouted as he drove the kunai further in with his heel until the blade protruded from the other side letting a bloody glob splatter the ground behind him as well as the corpse.

Naruto let loose a screech of pain that could wake the dead as the man continued to assault his already mutilated shoulder with his foot. "I bet it hurts huh demon? Trust me. It doesn't hurt nearly as much as you hurt so many people when you attacked us." He continued to taunt the injured boy about something he didn't understand.

The group he was with were all brandishing their weapons or fists just waiting for their turn to get 'revenge'. "Well I say we get a little revenge before finally finishing the fourths work and correcting the mistakes of the third. Don't die too quickly Kyuubi." And with that the man went to drive the kunai he was holding into Naruto's stomach.

*Sluuurp*

The man froze with the kunai inches from Naruto who just sat there with his eyes screwed shut.

The noise came again and they noticed it was coming from behind Naruto. Slowly the Chunin looked up and behind the boy. So caught up in their 'revenge' they'd completely forgotten about a corpse in the room. Only, the corpse was now bent over on it's knees with it's tounge slowly and delicately lapping at the blood pooling beneath Naruto.

"W-what t-t-the fuck?" Was all the head Chunin managed to stutter out as he was stunned and slightly horrified by the sight. The corpses brittle looking body started to regain some structure to it as it continued to lap at the blood now directly from the source, though it seemed to be extremely careful not o cause Naruto any pain. If anything Naruto noticed it seemed to dull the pain in his shoulder.

Finally the figure seemed to have had it's fill and slowly rose from it's kneeling position to stand an impressive 6'1 behind Naruto. She had a rather lean, athletic build with generous assets and several mouth watering curves. Her bust would easily be around an E-cup.

She wore what looked like a leather straight jacket which currently had no straps on the sleeves allowing her full control over the limbs along side a pair of long black pants and black boots. Her long inky hair cascaded down her back to just above her butt and was rather the contrast to her ghostly pale skin. Her eyes were a strange mix of crimson and orange with a very small pupil sitting in the dead centre that seemed to grow into almost non-existence as the eye seemed to ripple outwards.

The recently deceased took one look down at Naruto who looked just as shocked as the crowd as seeing a dead women lick up his blood and come back to life before their very eyes. Though for some reason he lacked the fear they felt. It was like he knew she wouldn't hurt him.

The women looked away from Naruto and seemed very dis-pleased about something as she glared at the crowd, sending out a literal tidal wave of Ki. The crowd were frozen in fear as the women started a slow approach to the first man. "I spend what I can tell has been several thousand years in a death like state and the first thing I wake to in my new master who cant be any older then twelve being tortured by a group of adults." She spoke in an angelic yes somehow furious voice that conveyed just how angry she was.

The four Chunin had experience with Ki and quickly snapped out of it. "So you're going to try and protect the demon Fine! Kill the bitch!" He shouted as he ran at her kunai in hand.

The moment he was in arms reach, There was an enormous spurt of blood as his outstretched arm was ripped from it's socket and an arm went straight through his torso. He slowly looked down wide eyed as the women removed her arm from him and licked the blood only to spit it back out. "Tastes terrible after that of my Master." She said as the man fell to the ground, the light now gone from his eyes and his face forever etched into one of pure agony and terror.

This sight once more stopped the group in their tracks as they also were wide eyed. "W-who are you?" one of them asked as he shook all over.

A sadistic grin slowly split the face of the new demon before them. "I've been called many things. Dracula, Nosferatu, Night walker, Vampire, Queen of the night." She listed. in a breath. "To my Master I am a humble servant waiting for his orders and to you..." She paused while her grin stretched further. "I'm a nightmare." She said darkly. "However my true name, Is Morganna Tepes." And with that she rushed through the crowd, severing limbs, breaking bones and crushing skulls with her white gloved hands yet some how keeping them perfectly clean.

When she finished with those who were also in the dungeon she turned to Naruto with her grin going from a sadistic malicious one to a gentle, caring one. She approached Naruto and was happy to see the boy no shying away though he looked slightly worried about her approach. "Relax young Master, I would never dare of thinking about hurting you. For now sleep, rest. Or I must clean up the trash that now loiters about the halls of this place. And know that when you awake all will be explained." She said with her voice sounding like velvet.

Naruto decided to trust the strange feeling inside and let himself be dragged into the sweet embrace of unconsciousness As his head fell towards the cold hard ground Morganna caught him and quickly disappeared into the shadows and stepped out into a large bedroom with a comfortable looking bed.

After removing his bloodied clothes and dressing his wound which she noticed was already healing the dark Queen then swept through the halls like a vengeful spirit, seeking out all who sought to bring her new master harm as she painted the halls red. before beginning the long process of cleaning up the grounds and building.

Naruto slowly felt himself coming back to the world of the concious. He slowly opened his eyes and scanned the unfamiliar surroundings. When his mind finally kick started the memories of the night prior finally hit him full force and he sat up with tremendous speed.

The first thing he noticed was his lack of attire being in only his boxer shorts. The second was the dull sunlight coming from the curtains signifying the sun was sinking again. 'I slept through the whole night and day?' He thought.

The third was the bloodied bandages that were over where he remembered the kunai being forced into his body. He could feel the wound had healed but there was still phantom pains. It was odd, normally a wound of that size and depth would take even him at least half a week to fully close. (1)

"Excellent you're awake." Came a familiar voice from where Naruto remembered seeing the large double doors. Naruto's head snapped towards the voice so quickly he wasn't sure he didn't just kill himself. As standing in the doorway was the women, Morganna from last night now dressed in what looked like a large dark red bordering black coat that split into two tails near the bottom, a dress shirt that seemed slightly strained against her bust, long black pants that accentuated her long legs and dress shoes. She also had a pair of glasses sticking out of the breast pocket of the coat. Naruto absently noted she was quite beautiful in his opinion. Sakura had absolutely nothing on this women before him.

Morganna had caught him eyeing the now healed wound and thought she'd answer his unspoken question. "Vampire saliva has surprisingly powerful healing properties if we so wish it." She explained with a grin that seemed almost ever present on her face.

Naruto gained a confused look on his face before realising what she meant. Then the severity of that statement hit him full force. "So all those things you said last night were true?" He asked with just a small hint of worry.

Morganna nodded in answer. "And all those people... You really killed them?" He questioned finding it odd how he felt no sorrow or sympathy for them. Once more Morganna nodded her head. "they were trying to hurt my new master. I couldn't let them get away with such actions." She explained.

Naruto once more grew confused. "Master?" He asked again. Morganna's grin grew at the question as she got up from her position leaning against the door frame and approached Naruto who still sat in the bed.

"When they hurt you and spilled your blood on me I was awoken from a deep sleep I was put into. I could smell and taste in the blood that you are a descendant of the hellsing family as only one with a high enough concentration of their blood could wake me from my sleep. Since it was your blood that awoke me I am your loyal servant. Now and forever. And on my honour as a draculina I will do everything in my power to fulfil any and all assignments you give me my Master." She finished now on one knee with her head bowed and her hand over her still heart.

Naruto felt his face go slightly red at this and quickly suppressed it. "I don't really know what to say. I guess I have no choice ot accept. I wouldn't want to force you back into that cell huh?" Naruto said with a smile as he scratched the back of his head seemingly already over the previous nights events. After eight years of it he lost most of his innocence to the cruelty of the villagers.

Morganna smiled another kind smile as she looked up at her new master. He seemed to accept her despite the little display she put on last night in her rage. She couldn't help how handsome he looked when he smiled as well. 'He'll be quite the looker in a few years.' She thought. She was also pleased that he wouldn't wish her back to the cell and by extension into that horrible death like state.

Naruto grew sombre again. "I should probably go tell Jiji that I'm ok." Naruto thought out loud.

Morganna looked at Naruto. "You mean the Hokage?"She asked.

Naruto smiled again. "Yeah, but I call him Jiji because he's one of my precious people. How did you know?" He replied.

"Then I'll go with you to meet this precious person of yours and I knew because when I drank your blood I gained your knowledge both concious and subconscious of the current world." Morganna explained.

Again Naruto experienced that strange feeling like this should worry him or put him off but he just couldn't seem to grasp the feeling so, shrugging it off he started to get out of the bed only to feel phantom pains in his shoulder. "I think I might need a new set of bindings. The skin feels sensitive." He winced with a pained grin.

Naruto then looked down to notice his state of undress. "And maybe some new clothes. I remember mine being a bit ruined." He said with a smile.

Morganna smiled at this. "I can get you some clothes from your old apartment for you and I'll re-wrap the binding's for you." She said with a smile and quickly left and returned with a roll of bandages.

Naruto gained a thoughtful look as he enjoyed the feeling of Morganna's gentle touch as she removed his bloodied bandages. "How do you know where my apartment is? And what do you mean old?" These questions seemed like the most prominent.

"Like I said, I gained all your knowledge of the world. Including the layout of the village to a degree and where your old apartment is. As for it being your 'old' apartment. You'll be staying here from now on." She said absently as she worked not to agitate the pinkish flesh of the recently closed wound.

Naruto opened his mouth to ask something but Morganna seemed to pick up on his question. "As the new head of th hellsing family, the grounds of this manor and everything that resides in and on them is now yours. Therefore you'll be staying here instead of that ratty apartment." She said as she finished her work. "I'll be bringing all your things from the apartment later after we've met with this Hokage." Now morganna stood up.

"wait here a moment." was all Naruto got before he watched his new 'servant' walk into the corner of the room and more specifically a shadow and seemingly phase out of existence into the corner.

A few moments passed and Naruto spent msot of it starring at the corner before gettingover his shock. It wasn't all that weird. He'd once seen a person control his shadow like some sort of bindings.

'I wonder if Morganna could help me with training. I'm not very good at ninjutsu and I don't think I could be as good as that Lee guy from a few years ahead in Taijutsu.' Naruto thought absently.

His musings were cut short by a familiar voice. "I went to your apartment and I'm sorry to say that the whole building was burnt down." Morganna said with a slight tinge of sadness for her master losing all his possessions.

Naruto seemed a little sad for a moment as the looked at the bed below him before he put on a fake smile. "At least no one wanted to live there so no one was hurt." He said with his eyes closed to hide them and his true feelings. That was the one place his mask always failed.

Morganna found the fake smile Naruto put on to try and seem strong rather unsightly. 'I'll have to fix that later..' She thought. "I'll go find you some clothes for now until we can get you something more permanent." Morganna said and dissipated out the door this time.

Naruto let the smile drop from his face and drew his knees to his head and hugged them as tears escaped his eyes. The few things naruto had ever been given had been in that apartment. It hurt to know that it was all gone.

He wasn't sure how long he sat there and le t a small amount of his true feelings out before a pair of arms encircled him. Naruto's head shot up immediately to see the kind smile of Morganna. "It's ok young master. Let it out." She said as she hugged him close.

that was all Naruto needed as he let out eight years of pain. He sat there for at least an hour just crying into this women's arms. He'd barely met her a day ago and he'd been asleep for most of it and the first thing he saw her due was commit mass murder. Yet he felt safer with her then he'd ever felt in his entire life.

After he finished, Naruto wiped his eyes and smiled a much more genuine smile which got a small fluttering in Morganna as a reaction. She in turn let a small, kind small play across her face.

"Now that your feeling better, I found some temporary clothing so we can go speak to this Hokage of yours." Morganna said getting up and grabbing the nearby clothing.

Naruto nodded and quickly got dressed into a pair of black shorts, a slightly too large long sleeve shirt with the sleeves covering his hands and hanging over them and a pair of socks and shoes Naruto was unfamiliar with.

"It's a bit big." Naruto said as he gave up trying to get the sleeves to stay up and just let them hang.

"Morganna laughed a little at this. To Naruto it was a wholly pleasant sound. "Like I said, you're not stuck in them forever. Anyway we should get going. the sooner we get this done the better." And with that the pair set off through the manor with Morganna in the lead and Naruto casually looking around at what was now his.

During his first time going around he was in a bit of a hurry. But now that it was a sedated pace with no one chasing him he really got to take in the surroundings.

The walls seemed to all be white with paintings and other pieces along the walls. The skirts were made decorated with gold and occasionally the wall would jut out in a sort of ornate pillar. 'This place looks better then Jiji's house.' Naruto thought as he remembered the building from the few times he'd gone there with the old man.

When they gout out the front, Naruto noticed it was much more alive then when he'd gone through it yesterday. Deciding to ask about it later the young blonde continued his walk towards the Hokage's tower.

During the trip, Naruto caught several comments from civilians as well as a few harsh glares.

"Look the demons still alive."

"Why is that thing still here?"

"Who's that women with him. She's pretty hot."

These kinds of comments seemed to be a recurring theme as the duo walked the streets of Konoha on their way to the Hokage tower. Naruto just ignored the cat calls directed towards Morganna and insults flung at him by civillians.

Naruto may have been able to ignore it but Morganna was having a pretty hard time not turning the cretins into messy, red stains on the road for insulting her master and saying such vulgar things towards her. 'None of you filthy beasts are worthy.' She though but corrected herself after a glance at her master. 'Well, there is one I'd happily let.' She thought with a smirk.

Morganna was suddenly pulled from her thoughts by the cry of her Master, the scent of his divine blood and the loud laughter of the surrounding villagers.

"Nice shot tenichi. You got that demon good!" a random civilian called out.

Morganna looked to see her Master kneeling on the ground holding her face with blood seeping from between his fingers and a bloody brick on the road next to him. "That's it." She muttered darkly and clenched her fists tightly.

Morganna spun towards where the person called out and saw a group of boys who looked a good six years older then her Master. She approached the group now exuding Ki in waves as she approached them with Murder at the front of her mind.

Standing over the group she was a good foot taller then most of them. "Which one of you threw that brick." She Snarled with her pointed teeth clenched in anger.

Out of simple fear the group pointed at one boy who now looked at his traitorous friend before looking back to the women. Deciding to act brave he spoke. "yeah I threw it. So what? He's just a no good demon and a murderer. he doesn't deserve to live. Who the hell are you anyway huh?" He asked with his arrogance seemingly diverting the Ki.

Morganna grinned sadistically at that. "I'm the person who makes sure my Master doesn't want for anything. I make sure he's happy no matter what. And now he's in pain. So I need to stop that pain by removing the cause." She then pointed at the boy with her index finger extended. "And that would be you." the moment she spoke that last word she prodded the boy in the chest and he suddenly exploded into spray of blood that hit the nearby wall to form a crimson cross. Nothing remained of the boy except that marker.

It took a few moments for the events to register or the onlookers past the fear. But when it did there was an uproar as people screamed and fled the immediate area with screams of another demon protecting the fox child.

Morganna ignored all this in favour of going to her still downed Master and slowly pulling his hands away from his face. There was a large deep gash across his forehead and over his left eye. "Don't worry, I'll mke it all better." she soothed as she licked the wound, covering it in her healing saliva.

Naruto sighed as he felt the pain numb much like the wound on his shoulder did the night before. With a hiss the wound seemed to start sizzling shut. Though still not very fast the wound would be done by the hour. Though there would be a scar like with his shoulder.

Then a group of people appeared in front of them via shunshin. "Naurto Uzumaki. The Hokage as asked up to escort you and you're acquaintance to his office." Said a cat masked Anbu Naruto recognised as Neko. Naruto didn't really like any of the Anbu as they never really stopped him getting hurt. "Ok, I guess." He said hesitantly.

Morganna picked up on her Master's hostility and glared at the masked people but otherwise let them Shunshin herself and her master to the Hokage's office.

The moment they appeared in the Hokage's office he dismissed them with silent signal. When the Anbu were gone Hiruzen let his feature soften into a sad look when his eyes fell on the no longer bleeding but still present gash in his forehead.

"Hello Naruto. I'd ask how you are but that's pretty obvious. Would you like to tell me who your friend is and how you met her?" Hiruzen queried still weary of the stranger who seemed rather close to the boy he saw as an adopted grandson.

Naruto thought about it a moment and grew a sad look on my face. He then recounted the events of the day before after he and Sarutoobi parted ways around midday not skipping any details as Sarutobi had probably saw Morganna kill that guy outside with his crystal ball Naruto sometimes saw him use. Though he painted it all in an image where he was the victim. Which he wasn't aware was completely true. He'd always assumed it was because of his pranks he used as a way to get attention.

'I'll have to keep an eye on this women. If what Naruto said is true she's dangerous.' She thought as he lit his pipe. He also absently noted the gash had scarred up over the hours they'd bee talking. "Well, I guess I don't really have any choice in the matter as it's already decided. I'll have to call a council meeting about this and you will both need to be present but That can wait until tomorrow. I'll send someone around to retrieve you. You may go." Hiruzen said as he started attacking his paperwork.

'At least now I wont need to send Anbu to watch over the boy. ' were Hiruzen's last thoughts before mentally abusing his paperwork as it seemed to breed like rabbits.

Naruto went to sleep shortly after With Morganna once more tending making sure everything was right amongst the grounds before finally settling down on a chair in the corner of Naruto's room. 'Good night my young master.' She thought as Naruto drifted off to sleep.

END

(1): I've downgraded Naruto's healing factor to make the effect of regenerators really mean something as otherwise them being alive wouldn't make any sense how I plan to write it.
