Be Still My Heart

"It's said life’s encounters are governed by fate- within the tangled webs of destiny. Cursed flowers bloom: pitiful and frail. Lost in their anger...Their sorrow...Their tears...Beyond midnights veil lies the revenge you can not exact alone...There is no such things as Pure Innocence..."

Chapter One: Hey RX

"He went this way, we need to find him before he gets out into the city!"

Hurried footsteps raced at the command to the nearest exit, hoping to get a chance to kill the escaped beast and get praise from the higher ups (and maybe a fatter paycheck if he ends up getting badly injured and survives). The chief of the Majin-X soldiers (specially trained solders that work under an organization that get rid of 'special' cases under citizens eyes), Tsunade, was up to her neck in scientists and police men breathing down her back because her people haven't caught this beast yet.

"I'm trying to tell you damned people," Tsunade barked, frustrated." This thing is highly dangerous and thanks to these damned scientists, the thing is still in the building and my men will find it and kill it-"

"Chief!" A women came running, interrupting Tsunade from her rant. The lady must've ran a great distance from how hard she was breathing and sweating, so it must have been important. "Chief, this is *wheeze* important."

"Excuse me a moment..." Tsunade said to the head scientists. "What's wrong Shizune?"

'We've.... we’ve caught th-the thing." The woman, Shizune, gasped." B-But you're not going t-to believe this. You have seen this yourself!"

Tsunade gave an ' urgh-I'm-so-gonna-have-a-headache after-this' look and followed after her assistant into the building after bidding farewell to the scientist. They seemed to have been running forever down the long hallways and stairways 'till Shizune came to a stop in front of a small band of solders in armor and holding specially made guns (which would look kickass in reality, they're really hard to describe). They were surrounding what seemed like their specialty made cage.

"Is it still confined?" Tsunade demanded from an eighteen year-old solider with wild blonde hair and fierce sapphire eyes.

The moment he realized he was being talked to, he snapped to attention." Hai. This thing put up a hell of a fight. But baa-san, he didn't see Sakura-chan appear with the Natzu Cage (what the beast is trapped in. Whenever it tries to escape, the bars glow and it gets hurt badly)."

The boy had pointed to a eighteen year old girl with pink hair and emerald eyes when he said that and she grinned." Now, now Naruto-kun, you're really giving me to much credit. Don't forget Garra-kun and Kakashi-sensei."

At those names two people emerged from the darkness of the shadows. One had fire-red hair, ice green eyes, and looked emo with how much masqura he put around his eyes (oh, and yeah he's 18), and the other had spiked silver hair his right eye was the only thing you could see because his left eye was covered by a head band and a cloak always covered his mouth (and when he wasn't wearing a cloak, it was a mask.)

Tsunade nodded and moved closer to the cage." Did you actually see it?"

"Not really." Sakura said." But Shizune-chan saw a glimpse of the demon before it slipped into the darkness of the cage, didn't you Shizune?"

Shizune nodded from her little corner. "Hai. His eyes were a piercing red and…Umm...."She trailed off, taking a deep breath, then said in one rushed sentence, “It appears that the beast looks as if he can be in grade school because he looks as if he's a twelve year old boy!"

Shizune had to lean against a wall to keep herself from passing out after all that. Tsunade looked at her assistant as if she lost her mind. "Ex-excuse me?"

"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT I SAID!" Shizune screamed." I'M NOT REPEATING MYSELF TWICE!"

"Don't worry." Kakashi said." We heard you; we just don’t understand it... This thing looks like a...a twelve year old?"

"Actually I'm thirteen turning onto fourteen, I'm just a bit small thank you." A soft voice sounded from the darkness.

The voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere that it scared the solders to the point they had to hold out their weapons threatingy at the cage. Throughout the whole search and capture, the creature hadn't spoken, so the solders found it a bit freighting to hear an unknown voice from out of the blue...

"Put those down." Tsunade commanded. She approached the cage a little closer, but kept a good distance as she tried to see through the darkness." Is there a light in here?"

"I'll go see if I can find one." Shizune offered, running off to find the power switch."

"Don't bother." Garra said, his voice chilling." He tampered with everything. We already tried turning on the light, but it ended up blowing the power. He was a step ahead."

Tsunade made a angry sound and slammed a fist into a wall." DAMN YOU! WHY'D YOU FUCK WITH EVERYTHING?!"

By the way she was yelling, neither could pinpoint whether she was pissed at them for turning on the lights knowing the beats tampered with the wires, or the beats for causing her such grief...

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Naruto asked stupidly.

"Iie." Tsunade growled." I need to see what this thing looks like. And by the way he sounds, it's young."

“Well, duh. And could you stop calling me a 'thing'?" The boy scowled from the dark corners of the cage. “I found it belittling and cruel."

"Wow, he's not only a smartass, but he knows big words." Naruto teased.

"Well you seem like a genius yourself." The boy said, his accent giving off that he was smirking smugly. “Now why don't you let me out of this cage, fuckwit?"

Naruto snorted in detest, all teasing drained from his voice and features. "You must have slammed into a door if you think we're letting you out. What are you, an idiot?"

"Noooo...but you're a ludicrous ignoramus who can't figure out I have a bladder too like every one of you stupid fuckers." The boy replied." And for your information, it's screaming at me for release at this very moment so if you don't mind doing me the honest of favors and uh... LET ME THE FUCK OUT OF THIS CAGE SO I CAN PEE!"

That drew everyone back when the last words were screamed out at them in a demanding way and with such force, some of the boys so-called "powers" was sent out on airwaves that sent the whole team flying backwards into the corners and wall.

"Fuck!" Naruto screamed, rubbing his aching head. He had slammed into the concrete so hard, it left a outline of his head in the wall." You don't have to scream it. Should we let him out Baa-chan?"

Tsunade let out a groan of pain as she sat up, cursing all seven hells as she straightened herself. She then turned to the cage and screamed out angrily," NOT UNTILL I GET SOME GODDAMNED LIGHT IN THIS MOTHERFUCKING ROOM, YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE!"

At those words, the ceiling lights turned on and Shizune was coming in." I rewired a few of the tampered with lines to give us enough light."

"Thank you. Now we can have a good look at this thing..." Tsunade trailed off, as her eyes grew wide. Shizune wasn't lying. The so-called experiment (beast, demon, thing, whatever) was only a thirteen year old.

He had raven colored hair; shimmering midnight eyes but he wore a dead expression. His screaming and demanding earlier made it seem the person in the cage was just an illusion, as a way to throw them off. And his attire was just as bad as his paled flesh (which you couldn't tell if it was pale because he was so dirty) that revealed old, new, and just inflicted wounds (probably due to the pursuits and experiments done on him). He only wore a long, oversized, button up, collared shirt; which was torn and dirty and did nothing to hide his injuries.

The only thing about what Shizune said, from what they could see was his eye. They weren't crimson red like she described. They betrayed no signs of death of the thirst for blood or any emotions. No hate...no sadness...no nothing, noting but hollow midnight eyes that held right now held a great distaste for the people in front of him.

The boy hissed viciously at the light and shielded his eyes, trying to prevent the light from his vision. He curled in on himself to get away from it, but it did little good. "Turn them off!" He demanded. "Turn them off now!"

"Apparently he's sensitive to light." Kakashi declared from behind his little orange book.

"We've figured that much out, baka. And put that perverted book away you lecture." Sakura snapped, smacking her sensei in the back of his head with her gun. "Anyways, we have light, but could you dim them...Thank you Naruto. Garra, the bathrooms right there, could you escort him?"

"And why do I have to?" Garra whined.

"Well, we don't need him escaping 'till we get to Headquarters and start the interrogation." Tsunade explained. "Shizune, start the paperwork, on my desk tomorrow morning...Garra be careful letting him out...Kakashi, due to the condition that we found him in, start the investigation. And Naruto...when we get back, have my sake sent up because I have the headache the size of Mt. Fuji...Oh and Sakura, find out what his name is and what he can do...And now I sleep."

And right there, Leader of MX, fell asleep standing up.

"...I'm so not carrying her back..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MX Headquarters

It seemed like forever waiting outside Tsunades' office for word Naruto and his bands had dressed out of their uniforms and were in normal city attire, sitting impatiently for any words of entering because Tsunade was actually going through the reports they had given her that night. She even kicked Shizune out so she could concentrate properly.

"Man, this is boring." Naruto groaned starring up at the ceiling." We have school in the morning, damnit."

"Patience Naruto." Garra advised.

"GET IN HERE NOW!" Tsuande's voice bellowed from behind the closed doors.

Not wanting to wait to know what pissed off the old woman, all four solders, including Shizune, rushed in, closing the double doors behind her. Tsunade was sitting at her large desk, a bottle of sake in one hand and a file she must have just finished in the other.

"Something wrong?" Sakura asked.

Tsunade took a swing of sake, belched, and then hollered loudly." HELL YEAH WE GOT A PROBLEM! THE DAMN SCIENTIST THAT WAS THE SUPPOSINGLY LEADING THIS PROJECT WASN'T IT! THE REAL ONE SLIPPED AWAY!"

"What are you saying?" Naruto asked.

"Meaning the mastermind behind the experiment on this poor boy isn't rotting in jail right now." Tsunade explained more calmly." The one we questioned to why the boy was in this condition was only a step-in while the real scientist got away. And by the designs and what he was researching, we all should have a safe bet on who the filthy snake is."

The room suddenly felt a lot colder and everyone could sense the hate radiating off each other. "I thought we locked Orochimaru up." Naruto growled darkly. "After the experiment with me and Kyuubi..."

"Anyways, how is he doing?" Sakura asked.

"Fine. Just a bit cranky being sealed within me and everything...Anyways back to the subject."

"Hai. I thought we locked him for good as well. But if you have looked at this recent file, it makes you think twice." Said Tsunade tiredly." Besides that, we found out his experiment name is RX-666 and that he was born unnatural (1). Apparently his bloodline is rare. Ever hear of the Uchiha's?"

They nodded.

"Well, he is blood tied to them, but he wasn't naturally born. When we examined his body, he had no belly button, so basically, that snake extracted sperm from one Uchiha male and one Uchiha female randomly and that was what formed Rx-666. So if you're still confused Naruto, get the details from Sakura later."

Naruto knew she meant it as a joke, but he couldn't find himself to even give a little smirk. His mind was still on the fact that creep Orochimaru was back. He caused a lot of grief for him and his friends a few years back when he was only twelve and thanks to Tsuande and Kyuubi, they had supposedly locked Orochimaru up. But now...now he'd gone and birthed another beast of burden. AND THEY STILL DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE COULD DO!

It was a good thing Tsunade was great at sensing Naruto's thoughts because then she spoke again. "We also found out from the test RX-666 let us take, he is defiantly not human."

Long awkward silence.

"Not...human?" Shizune spoke up, breaking the long stretched silence." But you just said-"

"Hai, I know what I just said and I'm even confused. How can you be tied to a bloodline, and you're not even human?" Tsunade let out a frustrated growl as she laid her head on her desk to cool down her fevered mind." All right, lets wrap it up for tonight and pick up tomorrow after school, 'kay? We all need to sleep. Its' been a very long night."

"Hai, Lady Tsunade." They said in sync.

One by one they left, Naruto being the last, closed the door behind him. As he, Sakura, and Garra (Kakashi disappeared to see if Iruka was still around), Naruto noticed mostly everyone had gone home. Now that was a problem to him considering there had to be a lot of staff working nightshift because some of the unworldly things they capture find ways to get out and reek havoc on everything.

Sakura apparently read his mind." I've noticed...not many working tonight."

Garra nodded. "I've noticed that as well. Neji, Ten Ten, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Temari were suppose to be working tonight, but they already clocked out an hour ago."

Naruto was silent for a few moments than declared," Do you know where that RX thing is?"

"Yeah." Sakura said." Restricted Area."

"Well, it's not going to be restricted anymore." Naruto stated firmly, turning a corner sharply, Sakura and Garra trailing behind him." I need to ask that boy a few more questions before we go."

"B-but we can't!" Sakura protested, keeping pace with Naruto rushed steps." We're still trainees!"

"AND?!" Naruto stopped at a metal plated door and turned to her bearing fangs." You remember what happened to me, to Garra?! If this boy isn't human, yet he has a tie to a bloodline, there is more to this RX- whatever than Tsunade or any of us thinks!"

"I agree." Garra nodded.

Sakura looked as if she was really thinking hard and then she finally let out a defetated sigh. " Alright, but only for a few minutes. The restricted area-"

"Yeah yeah who gives a flying fuck, just give me the entrance code." Naruto growled out.

"Not with that attitude." Sakura snapped.

"Ignore his attitude." Garra perked in." We all are frustrated about tonight, and this news to Naruto is a big kick in the rear. He just needs answers. And until he can confirm what he suspects, then he gets a bit snippy."

Sakura let out another defeated sigh and grumbled, "You should now considering you're his older brother...it's 08683659-4869249621"

Naruto typed in the numbers into the security system and watched the red light switch to green. He stepped back and all three watched with amazement as the metal door glowed a golden-yellow. They have never been in the Restricted Area, but Sakura managed to find the access code to all the areas in MX HQ, well...it would be easy for them from now to get in places. And they weren't prepared for the things they would see beyond the doors of Sun and Moon....

Tsunasde's Office

"Tsunade, it's time to go." Shizune yawned tiredly to her boss.

Tsunade waved her away and stretched." Urgh...today didn't go the way I hoped. Did Naruto and everyone leave?"

"Well actually, they didn't clock out yet." Shizune said from across Tsunades office. She was putting files away and she had peeked at the clock in/out. "It appears they haven't left the building."

"...WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HAVEN'T LEFT THE BUILDING YET?!"

TBC…

A/N: And now I begin my ranting…

For starters, if you see any mistakes, good to know you aren’t blind. But I seriously do not need people criticizing me on it. I know there are mistakes, I know there is no real plot and I know it makes no sense, I don’t need people giving me a review on it. If you have suggestions, then that’s a whole different story. Not trying to be mean, but every time I post a story, someone has to be a smart mouth and…you get the idea.
So I kindly ask for no flames…

By the way, (1) I was referring to the fact you all might get confused with Tsunade’s explanation about Sasuke. Well to be honest, I am quite confused myself. I have the whole ‘how he was created’ in my head, I just didn’t know how to explain it in this chapter…so um…when I can get the chance to fix this jumbled up mind of mine, I will fix the chapter and maybe I’ll put the explanation it in the second Chapter.
