127Kon'nichi wa min'na-san!
KazaHaru here, reporting for duty! I am sooo very sorry for the long wait!
I have had a severe case of the most vilest of diseases. . . writer's block. . . How can such a thing exist?
But now. . . I am back baby!
Hopefully I can cater to your future needs, wants, likes, and dislikes!
Oh! And before I forget. . . This story of mine still has no beta reader. . .
And here comes the dreaded Disclaimer. . .
I, KazaHaru, do not own any of the Naruto and Twilight characters and even if I did. . . it would take up to eons before I finished the dammed thing. . .
Chapter Eight
" The Lone Fox and the Wolves."
Naruto was not angry.
Oh no! Not. Angry. At. All! (Notice the sarcasm? Of course you did!)
Naruto was FUCKING livid!
Every single time Naruto tries to get Edward to himself. . . Bella was there.
Whenever he tries to talk to Edward. . . Bella would appear.
And every time Naruto invites Edward to lunch or just hang out. . . Bella would latch on Edwards arm like a leech and demands they do other things that she considers as 'fun'.
Seriously! Bella was supposed to be the human here. . . So how does she appear, seemingly, out of thin air?! Naruto sighed, rubbing his forehead as if to ward away any other thoughts.
Having these feelings for Edward wasn't doing his health any good. Naruto could already feel his body react to the influx of emotions, draining away his energy. Another side effect of the influx was his appetite for blood, it has increased by the double, forcing him to consume one blood bag per day. It's beginning to put a strain on his supplies and soon would have to rely on hunting for fresh blood to stave off the thirst.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Naruto was about to enter the classroom when he saw his reflection by the window. His sapphire eyes had bled into obsidian black and the smell of all the humans in the vicinity are starting to drive him to a frenzy.
He needed to get out of there. . .
He needed to get out of there NOW!
Edward nodded absently as Bella drone on and on about how her day was, how absolutely detests getting wet and how she hated anything and everything. He sighed silently, for someone who was painfully mundane she sure can run her mouth off. If he was anything but dead, Edwards ears would have bled a long time ago.
Catching sight of a familiar mop of golden blond hair by the door, Edward turned to look at the side just enough to see that Naruto was looking at his reflection on the window. He didn't know what the problem was, not until he looked at Naruto's face, no, his eyes!
Naruto's eyes were those of the great abyss. . .
Edward has seen those eyes before. . .
Whenever the thirst was excruciatingly unbearable, he would see those eyes looking right back at him in the mirror.
Somehow, Naruto was just like him, like his family.
Who are you really, Naruto Namikaze?
And just like that Bella was put aside to the recesses of Edwards mind as he thought of Naruto, even though she was still latching onto his arm, like the deranged slut that she is.
Naruto raced outside to his car, frantically opening a hidden compartment underneath the upholstery. Snatching one blood bag from the built in chiller, Naruto immediately bit into the pouch as he felt his incisors elongate. One bag became two, and two became three, until all of bags was emptied out and he still wasn't satisfied.
Swiping away the empty pouches back to the compartment, Naruto revved the engine to life quickly pulling out of the parking lot and out of the school property before zooming through the freeway into the forest or was it rainforest?
Naruto shook the thoughts away, sometimes he really hated these random thoughts popping in his head. He needed to concentrate. After deeming it far enough from town, Naruto pulled the car into a stop before running deep into the lush green, wet forest.
Jumping into the air, Naruto could only growl out a curse as he heard the telltale sounds of his clothes rip into shreds. Landing on all fours, Naruto revealed his own shifter for, a six foot tall, red fox with nine magnificent tails. For a few seconds longer, Naruto reveled in the feeling of once again able to shift in his kitsune form. Concentrating all his senses, he homed to a prey and by the smell, he knew it was human, near the mountain. Growling, Naruto ran towards his unlucky prey.
Sam Uley and his fellow newly minted pack of wolves Paul Lahore and Jared Cameron, otherwise known as the Uley pack, were out patrolling the perimeter around the quillete tribe and the entirety of La Push, as was tradition that started when their magical gene awoken and granted them power to shift into wolves.
An hour later, just when the pack was about to return to their homes in the reservation, the whole pack heard someone enter their territory at speeds much like their own. Sam, in his wolf transformation (which is a big black wolf), growled out an order to calm himself using his alpha voice through there mind link since he could practically feel Paul getting really to confront the unknown intruder.
Giving the affirmative, the pack immediately jumped into action, shooting like a bullet through the forest. Jumping into a clearing, sniffing around a paw print and what they smelled they didn't like one tiny bit. It smelled of vampire with an undertone smell of a canine. it was one thing for another being to trespass in their land but it is another story if the the intruder was a vampire and a nomad at that!
God! How they hated vampires!
Why? You may ask. Why such a strong hate?
Because even though their tribe, the quillete, and a coven of vampires, the Cullen or the a cold ones as the tribe refers to them, formed a treaty. The Uley pack firmly believes that vampires in general were cold-blooded, evil, bloodsucking monsters that needs to be extinguished from the face of the earth. Not everyone in their tribe believes in that, in them, but soon enough that will all change.
Following the creature was pretty easy and the closer they got to it the stronger the smell of vampires permeates through the air, they wrinkle their nose in disgust, it was clear to the pack that this particular vampire was about to feed on some poor sap. But, nevertheless, that sap was still a human and it was their duty to protect the innocent humans from these abominations.
Seeing heir target jumping for the kill, the pack too pounced on their target. Thus, the struggle ensued. (Or the fighting? Whichever you prefer, should work?!)
Naruto didn't know he was being followed, not until he was being attacked, that is. He tried as hard as he could to fight them off with his tails and sharp claws but it was of little success. A three to one fight is hardly ever called a fair fight, not unless someone wanted to die that badly, of course. (that would be a surefire way to go)
Naruto didn't know what to do! He wasn't used to fighting in this state! He could feel his energy draining away from his body and the wounds that he kept on receiving doesn't even help him any. Naruto dodged a strike by the black wolf that would've definitely slit his jugular vein open to the side, never noticing that particular strike was a feint, leading him to the wolf with black and tan fur, whom a pounced at his back, while simultaneously biting his neck and digging it's claws in his underbelly.
Pain, was always a great motivator.
Calling his vampiric powers, Naruto tried to gather as much of it as he could, but unfortunately for him he was in a forest and not a steel factory, so there wasnt much of any metal around. Concentrating as much as he could, Naruto aimed the bits of metal into the three wolves' hind legs, or what he supposed was the hind legs. The pack yelped in pain together and the one who was holding Naruto into a stand still had loosened its hold, enough for Naruto wriggle free and run back to the river.
Running as fast as he could, mindful not to overly jostle his wounds, Naruto found the river and immediately jumped into it letting the current take him downriver. A few rapids later, Naruto deemed it safe enough to climb ashore the riverbank, that and he could feel himself losing consciousness from the blood loss and the inevitable transformation to his hybrid form.
Clawing his way up to the shore, Naruto noticed a big house up ahead then growled out for help but it only came as a pained howl, before releasing the transformation. He wanted some help, some medical attention, not to be put down like some rabid dog! Not that he wouldn't heal from the wounds he acquired. . . Painfully. . . Eventually.
Clutching his still bleeding abdomen, Naruto looked up to see the Cullens running towards him. He couldn't but release a sigh of relief before succumbing to unconsciousness.
Done!
