New Beginnings NOW COMPLETE

A/N: Sorry I didn't realise I hadn't uploaded this here. I am so sorry!


An infuriated Dan burst into the room glaring at Diran, “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?!”
He launched himself at the slightly shorter boy who didn’t struggle except the hold back the hands that attempted to rain blows on his face.

“What do you?” the boy sounded genuinely confused.

“How could you… my best friend….Amaya… Tiro….all the others and now Nico?! It was all you?!” tears coursed down his cheeks, “Why?! You bastard!”
He struggled to get free so he could attack the other boy who had dropped the katana when he was attacked. Sasuke quickly leaped in and grabbed the weapon before the shocked boy could come to his senses enough to attack anyone.

“Yes Diran, I think we all want to know,” Naruto said grimly as Nico finally collapsed.


After all his years as a teacher watching his students graduate and go off on missions one would think Iruka had gotten used to staying behind and waiting for them to come back, safely or otherwise. This was definitely not the case. He tried to console Ria and keep her company as best he could but when he felt like a caged lion himself it was rather difficult to calm anyone. It hadn’t felt this bad since Naruto’s first big mission, who was he kidding? After all this time the boy pretty much was his son. His son and his lover were out there doing facing who knows what and-

“Iruka, we…the…there’s…big…I thin…might be…behind…killings…badge.”

“Kakashi? Kakashi! I can’t understand what you’re saying it keeps cutting out. Can you get to better reception?” Iruka asked frantically.

“We’re fine…don’t worry…reinforcements. We’ll…things here…talk later.”

And with that the line was dead again.

“What did he say?” Ria demanded.

“I don’t really know, I think he was just checking in, I think the cave was too far under the ground to get proper reception to get the full message through,” Iruka said worriedly, “At least I’m hoping he said for no reinforcements…”


“Well what do we do?” Sakura asked, neither had moved from their positions.

“I’m not sure, we need to know how it is being controlled, perhaps there is something we do to stop it. If worst comes to worst we may have to find a way to seal it,” Kakashi said grimly.

Suddenly the statue shook out its wings and yawned.
“Is that you young master?” it asked in a weary tone, “Have you come again so soon? You know I need rest.”

“No,” Sakura said in a soft, soothing tone, “We’re not here to drive you from your home again.”

“Good, I’m tired, so very tired,” it sighed and closed its eyes.

“Please, can we talk to you for a moment? We need to ask you some things,” she said quickly in the same soft voice, Kakashi watched in amazement.

“Only if you’re quick, I need to sleep in case the young master calls again.”

“Why do you have to do as he says?” she asked softly.

It sighed again wearily, “The family of the young master freed me many years ago, I must answer the call. Never have I been called so often, I merely wish to sleep again.”

“If you promise to stop answering his calls we can stop the young master calling you,” Sakura told it.

“Ahh if the young master calls today I will ignore it, you have until tomorrow to stop the calls before I hunt you down,” it shuddered as it slept once more.

The two ninja breathed out.
“Nicely handled Sakura,” Kakashi commented, “We have to go destroy that altar.”

She nodded, “I think it can pass through the ground anyway so if we can get someone to come and fill in all of the passages then no one will be able to disturb it again.”

“Yeah when we get this sorted I’ll get someone onto it,” the jounin nodded as they began to make their way back to the altar chamber.


“Nico!” Naruto cried out as he caught the falling girl, as he got closer he noticed how deep the cuts were, from the amount of blood he had assumed them to be merely skin wounds, however they cut much deeper.

Sasuke held the blade out in front of him, his chakra swirling dangerously, “Dan get the hell away from him now,” he growled.

The boy tried to pull away but the other held fast, he grinned at the boy as he pulled him in close to his chest, “Oh no my precious I’ve wanted you for far too long to let you get away now.”

Dan looked up in horror, “You mean that’s what this was all about? You…you killed them… all for…”

“Yes my love, all for us, just for you, so we could be together, no interruptions, no past indiscretions, nothing to get in the way of our love.”

Dan’s body shook uncontrollably, “Oh my god… you sick bastard…I think I’m going to be sick.”
Diran let go as Dan lurched over into the corner and threw up everything in his stomach.

Naruto laid Nico on the ground once he was sure she was still alive, now he turned to face the boy who had caused so much pain to everyone.
“Why the fuck did you kill Amaya then?” he demanded, “What did she do?”

“I couldn’t let an old girlfriend get in the way of my love could I?” his eyes took on a maniacal glint, “A fresh start together is better for everyone, wouldn’t you agree?”

“You….you killed her just because….you used to date?” Naruto sunk to his knees, he had seen some fucked up things but normally they at least made some sort of sense. But this… this was just.
“You’re insane you know that?” the blonde boy finally choked out.

“Is it insane to want to spend time with the one you love?” Diran asked harshly, “Everyone else does why do I have to be different? Don’t I deserve love?”
He walked over to put his hand on Dan’s shoulder as the boy dry retched, the tears still streaming down his face.

“Fuck off!” Dan hissed violently jerking away from the outstretched hand.

“But love-”

“Just stay the fuck away from me! I hate you!” he screamed closing his eyes, his hands clenching so tightly his fingernails drew blood.

“Now calm down Dan honey, you’re hurting yourself, here-”

“You tried to ruin my whole life you bastard!” he screamed, his voice hoarse from the continued screaming.

“Can’t you see love? I did it for you. I did it for us, so we can be together,” his voice had a wheedling tone.

“I’m not gay you fucking monster!” he collapsed in sobs.

Naruto felt his heart wrench, he knew now for certain that this was the second time at least that Dan had had to live through this. No one deserved that, especially the nice laid back boy he had come to know.
The blonde stood up and launched himself at Diran, “Don’t you dare touch him you bastard!”

Naruto got the element of surprise and landed a blow on Diran’s unprotected cheek before the boy jumped away into a fighting stance. The blonde ran at him again swinging his arm in a backhanded blow which the boy caught, he quickly spun around catching him in the side with his knee. Diran coughed as they separated.

“Piss off Naruto this doesn’t have anything to do with you,” Diran said dangerously, “Why don’t you go home and fuck your little boyfriend and leave us alone.”

“There is no us!” Dan hissed venomously, “When will you get it you bastard.”

“You will learn to love me Dannarin, I promise, as much as I love you,” he replied harshly, his eyes glittering insanely.

“You sick bastard,” the boy sobbed.

“We’re taking you in to the police Diran, its over,” Sasuke growled.

Diran ran at Sasuke and Naruto quickly punched the green haired boy in the cheek, he spun away and landed in a crouching stance. He spat out the blood and ran at Naruto, the two swung at each in the controlled movements of fighters, each attacking and blocking in an elaborate and confusing dance until Diran managed to push Naruto back towards Sasuke who had to move quickly to get the sword away before it could damage his boyfriend, while he was distracted the curly haired boy wrested the sword from his hand and held over Nico.

“Now,” he panted slightly, “No one is going to do anything stupid are they?”

Sasuke looked at the tip of the katana which rested beside his friend’s neck. The blade was held negligently but the grip didn’t need to be firm when he could easily complete his blow if anyone got near.

“Of course not,” Naruto spat, furious at being used like that, they had both let their guard down and he knew it.

“Good, now there will be no going to the police, no attacking me and you will stay away from me and Dan. This’ll be our little secret,” he grinned, “I got her once, I can get her again. I think you will find my agent can be very persuasive.”

“Your agent is a bit unpredictable though isn’t it?” Sasuke said suddenly, “It attacked without your knowledge didn’t it? We were there when you found out, you had nothing to do with the attack last night.”

“So what?” he snorted, “It’s not like it matters.”

“How do you know your little demon won’t turn on you?” Naruto asked catching on, “If there’s one thing I know about demons it’s that they don’t react kindly to orders.”
He heard the Kyuubi chuckle in his head.

“My family freed it, it promised to obey our orders,” he protested, slightly less sure of himself.

“If you trouble it too often it’ll probably turn on you, if there’s no more family it’s got nothing to worry about, if the line ends with you it won’t have to worry about future orders,” Sasuke said thoughtfully.

“Exactly what I was thinking,” Naruto smirked, “That’s how I’d do it, Kyuubi agrees.”

“Well there you go straight from a demon itself, I think we can trust it,” Sasuke smirked.

“What?” Diran looked confused and then his confidence returned, “Lilatu! Come to me, your master requires your help!”

Sasuke and Naruto prepared for the new arrival until it became apparent by his expression that it should have arrived.

“Lilatu! I order you to come assist me!” he screeched.

“Looks like it’s not coming,” Sasuke observed loudly.

Diran cackled crazily, “Ah but you forget I still have my little hostage here.”

“Not for long!” Dan yelled standing up.

As the green haired boy looked away Nico grabbed the end of the blade and twisted it out of his hands, crying out as it bit deeply into the flesh of her hand she tossed it to Sasuke who picked it up and before anyone could react he had one arm around Diran’s waist and the blade held firmly at his throat.

“Naruto, call the others,” the Uchiha ordered, “Get Iruka to call an ambulance and the police to come here.”
The tanned boy in his arms struggled wildly until he felt the blade bite into the soft skin of his neck slightly.
“Do not think for a minute that anyone will stop me from killing you if I feel I need to.”
The boy stilled and turned pale.
“Good,” Sasuke grunted as Naruto talked hurriedly and quietly into his communicator.

“Iruka is going to call them all, he and Ria will wait at the hospital for you Nico,” Naruto informed them before he went to help the girl until the paramedics arrived.

Dan had collapsed again in the corner sobbing, “It’s my fault, he killed them all because of me, Amaya, Tiro, Mr Tirai, Renru, everyone… It’s my fault.”

Nico ignored Naruto as she tried to stand and her legs buckled under her, the gashes to the backs of her knees oozing fresh blood, she pulled herself along the ground grunting in pain as she left bloody handprints along the floor she fought off Naruto’s attempts to help her.

“Dan,” she tried to get his attention, “Dan!”
He still sobbed to himself whispering and blaming himself.

She sighed in exasperation and leaned over to plant a chaste kiss on his cheek. His eyes widened and he looked at her, “Wha?”

She shook her head, “It’s not your fault idiot,” she gave him a light slap across the back of the head wincing as she realised she left a bloody handprint in his hair, “No one blames you for it. He’s severely unhinged, messing with things you shouldn’t mess with will do that to you.”

Diran hissed at her from across the room until he felt the blade again.

“You can’t blame yourself, no one would want you to blame yourself, I know I don’t,” she gave him a small smile.

“Thank you,” he smiled back, he reached out to hug her until he realised there was nowhere he could possibly touch that wouldn’t hurt the girl.

“Oh for goodness sake,” she shook her head and pulled him into a hug, “I like in a household full of boys, I’m used to pain, moron.”

Naruto grinned at them before he left to direct the paramedics and police inside.
The police quickly cuffed the green haired boy and led him away. When the paramedics loaded Nico onto the stretcher and wheeled her away no one disputed Dan’s right to ride in the ambulance with her.

“It’s going to be murder to get the blood off everything,” Kakashi observed lazily as the vehicles drove away.
