Chapter Three

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and sighed as he actually felt all right. The move they had done in the club was his own creation, but it needed so much power that it exhausted them all, so it was a move they only used when they had no choice. If the vampires would have stayed, they would have been disintegrated, but this particular group obviously knew more about them than he thought.

Sitting up, he frowned to find he was alone and not somewhere familiar. He began to panic when he thought he might have been kidnapped.

“It’s okay. Your safe.”

Naruto turned to find the raven haired carpathian stood against the wall, with his arms crossed. Naruto found his heart beat becoming irregular and his face heating up. But he pushed those feelings away, and glared. “Where are my friends?” He demanded.

“There safe.” Was the only answer.

Naruto growled, his eyes changing from their regular blue colour to an angry red. “Take me to them.”

Sasuke stood uncertain. He wanted to talk to his life mate. But he didn’t want to cause the man distress. Before he could make up his mind, he heard shouts, names being called.

Naruto cocked his head and heard his friends calling, he didn’t think as he shot off the bed. He reached the door, but it was locked, he growled. Calling on Kyuubi’s power, he ripped the door off it’s hinges and threw it to the floor. He ran out and looked around.

“Gaara.” He called.

One by one doors were ripped from their hinges and all his friends fled the rooms they had been held in. They flocked together and huddled against each other, seeking comfort. Iruka and Temari looked over their friends, making sure they were all right.

“We have to get out of here.” She said.

After receiving a nod from each of them, they fled down the stairs. As they were nearing the front door, they felt a disturbance in the air, and all nine carpathians materialized out of the air, standing in a circle, trapping them.

Naruto growled dangerously, his power expanding and swirling around his friends in a protective barrier. As he had the most power, because he carried the most powerful demon, he was the one to protect them in situations like these.

Sasuke held up his hands. “We mean you no harm. Please, we only want to talk.”

Naruto felt a hand on his shoulder, and knew immediately it was Gaara. He released his power and nodded. He finally looked around the room to see it was freaking huge. It was obviously the front room, but could have easily been the nightclub they had been in earlier that night. With a gesture from the carpathains, they all sat.

Sasuke watched as the five women sat on a couch together and the four men sat on the floor in front, he nearly smiled at how protective the men were. He sat down, and the others followed. Kakashi leaned forwards. “Maybe we should get the introductions out of the way.” He asked. Without waiting for a reply, he started. “My name is Kakashi.” After a nod, the others began introducing themselves.

“Sasuke.”

“Neji.”

“Shikamaru.” The guy with the hair tied up in a ponytail said, as he inclined his head.

“Konohamaru.” The shortest of them introduced.

“Lee.” The one with the bowl cut hair and big bushy eyebrows, which Naruto had to bite his lip for as he wanted to burst out laughing.

“Shino.” The guy with the high collar and sunglasses perched on his nose said.

“Chouji.” The one who looked like he could be a pro-wrestler.


“Kankuro.” The one with what looked like face paint on his face said, with a twitch of the lips.

Naruto looked over at Gaara who nodded. “Gaara, host of the one tailed racoon Shukaku.”

“Temari, host of the two tailed cat Nibi.”

“Moegi, host of the three tailed fish Sanbi.”

“Sakura, host of the four tailed reptile Yonbi.”

“Kiba, host of the five tailed dog Gobi.”

“Ino, host of the six tailed weasel Robuki.”

“Iruka, host of the seven tailed badger Shichibi.”

“Hinata, host of the eight tailed snake Hachibi.”

The blonde paused, before saying. “Naruto, host of the nine tailed fox Kyuubi.”

Sasuke looked over at Kakashi, as he was the oldest carpathian, it fell to him to explain. He nodded. “As you know, we are carpathians. And you Iruka are my life mate.”

Iruka tensed and grabbed Naruto’s hand, an action Kakashi and Sasuke didn’t like, as they growled. Naruto narrowed his eyes, which were once again flashing red. Sasuke looked at Naruto. “And you are mine.”

“And I said it wasn’t going to happen.”

“You do not understand. The fates have decided, you are my life mate. We can do nothing, but accept it.”

Naruto was about to argue when Gaara glared at him, so he bowed his head. Last night he had felt okay with having someone who was meant for him, but now when it also concerned his friends, he felt unsure. He paused, thinking. Ignoring what Kyuubi was telling him. He tuned out the rest of the conversation.

Neji finally turned his eyes to Gaara. “And you know you are mine.” Gaara looked away.

Shikamaru nodded to Temari. “And you are mine.” Temari bowed to keep her blushing face hidden.

Moegi, who already had red cheeks made eye contact with Konohamaru. “I am your life mate.” He said, as her cheeks flushed an even brighter red.

“And it seems beautiful lady, you are mine.” Lee announced looking at Sakura. She turned her head, fighting the smile twitching her lips.

“You are mine.” Shino said, looking at Kiba. The man bowed his head. He was uncertain of how he was feeling, and how could male carpathains be destined to be with male humans. But he knew why. They all did.

Kankuro looked over at the blushing woman, and smiled. “Yes, you are mine.” She blushed harder, and looked away.

And finally Chouji and Ino looked at each other. “And I guess your mine.” She said, and the man nodded.

Kakashi looked back at the group. “It may see strange, but it’s the truth. We do not know why some of us are placed with males.” He paused as he watched the men looking at each other. Iruka nodded, and faced his so called life mate. “We men are able to bare children.”

Sasuke narrowed his eyes, but nodded. It made sense. They were demon carriers, and that would be how they were able to carry children. His eyes tried to make contact with Naruto, but the blonde had his head bowed, and it seemed like he was thinking hard.

Gaara too was looking at Naruto. His friend finally made eye contact. “What are you thinking?” He asked.

Naruto bit his lip and turned to face the carpathians. “How do we know what you speak is the truth? For all we know, you could be part of a group. A group that wants the demons we carry. For all we know, you could be trying to gain our trust. And when we least expect it, you would strike-”

“NO!”

The nine jumped at the shout from the now standing carpathians. They looked angry, but they’re eyes were pleading. Naruto looked at Sasuke, the raved haired man was shaking his head. “That is not what we want. You are our life mates. We are to protect you. If only you would let us claim you, you would be able to enter our minds, have access to everything we are. It would prove to you we are who we say we are.”

Naruto bowed his head. His hands came up to cover his eyes. He was beginning to feel tired. All he wanted to do was sleep. Sasuke tried to move closer as he saw his mate was distressed, but he stopped after a glare from Gaara and Iruka.

Looking out of the window, he saw it was nearing day light. “We have to sleep.” Meaning they had to seek the earth. “Why don’t you stay here, you may use the bedrooms upstairs. There is food and drink in the kitchen if you are hungry. Please, just stay. We still need to talk.” With that said, all nine carpathians left and Naruto and the others were left alone.

“Come, we might as use the bedrooms upstairs. Then we can talk tomorrow before the carpathians rise.” Temari announced.

The others slowly got to their feet and walked up the stairs. They returned to the bedrooms that they had woke up in. Naruto lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Before he fell asleep, he felt that warmth he felt last night. Unknown to him, all his friends were feeling the same warmth, each of the nine smiled.
