The Witches Heir V2

chapter 1: A Change of the Future, The Snake Adopts the Fox

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Death city, the city which has also been known as the 'Oasis of the Desert'. And the city that was founded by death himself. A city that has also been known to have the death weapon meister academy. Where young children can go to learn if they are a meister, or a weapon.

Let me explain how this certain school works. This is an academy where children go to learn on

whether or not they are meisters or weapons. Then later, two children who are identified as official weapon and meister are partnered, and need each other to work towards their goal.

The goal I'm referring to is the goal of creating a more peaceful world. The two partners need to acquire a total amount of 99 evil human souls, and 1 witch soul. Evil humans were once human, but they threw their humanity away and became corrupted with evil. This transformed them into creatures that hungered for innocent souls.

Witches are powerful beings that are the natural enemies of the academy. They're souls are extremely hard to acquire, and many meisters and weapons have fallen trying to obtain the final piece needed for their goal: the death scythe.

The death scythe is a powerful rank for a weapon once all needed souls are gathered. Once a weapon has obtained all these souls, they become a weapon that Lord Death himself is able to wield.

Now that we have reviewed the basics of what the academy stands for, lets take a look at one of the most dangerous witches in the entire city.

We now find ourselves in the nurse's office of the academy. Here, we see a woman with a fairly average physical build, and a large, black, dotted snake tattoo winding down either arm. Her facial features consist of eyes containing yellow irises with black pupils, and blonde hair arranged in a spiked style, with two long strands extending downwards framing either side of her face, that entwine each other like a caduceus' snake to rest upon her chest. Her outfit was a black body-length suit with hood, which extended downward to her knees. The hood itself was adorned with an eye-like marking upon either side. She also appeared to have a tail in the shape of an arrow. She was barefoot and had black toenail and fingernail polish that featured yellow arrows pointing upwards. This woman was Medusa Gorgon.

Medusa looked down at the bundle in her arms with a smile. She was happy for two things. The first was she was now holding her new baby girl, who had a small mop of pink hair on her newborn head. The second was that no one was in the academy when she came back after giving birth, which is the reason she's clad in her witch attire.

She looked down at her baby girl and smiled a beautiful smile that showed her joy at her baby girl. She had gotten pregnant due to her attempts at creating a new form of magic. This resulted in producing a child through asexual reproduction. She was rushed to the hospital where only witches go to and the result was a success. Even though her girl had a different hair color, that didn't bother her.

If one saw this, they would wonder why Medusa had a sudden change in character. Let's take a look precisely nine months ago.

(Flashback)

Medusa leaned on the wall as the Witch Mass, gathering of witches across the city, ended. She turned around and was about to head out, but was stopped by a small figure landing in front of her. She had a diminutive frame that was obscured by her domineering clothes. Her attire was comprised of a black robe and a similarly dark cloak, the majority of it adorned with various elongated safety pins with the only exception being her distinctive white hat, which was fashioned in such a manner as to depict a sharp-tooth grinned face. The small gap between the brim of the hat and her cloak displayed tuffs of gray hair and a bandage with ½ written on it covering her left eye. This was the witch queen Mabaa.

"Is there something you want?" asked Medusa who didn't see why this witch is keeping her from leaving.

Mabaa looked up at Medusa with her one and calmly replied with her one word answer. "Nyamu."

Medusa arched an eyebrow at the answer. "Future? I am not worried about the future." replied Medusa.

Mabaa shook her head no and walked past Medusa before looking at her and nodding to her direction. Medusa internally sighed and begrudgingly followed the queen witch.

Medusa didn't know why the witch queen wanted her to follow, but figured it couldn't hurt for a moment.

Mabaa soon led them to a small room that was decorated with various items that ranged from potion ingredients to mere ornaments that had a witch theme. Mabaa walked over to a clothed table with a crystal ball on it and sat behind it to where she was now facing Medusa. She gestured to the chair opposite her for Medusa to sit.

Medusa sighed and sat in the chair while Mabaa looked at the crystal ball. She brought up her hands to the orb and seemed to murmur something incoherent as the crystal ball began to gain a faint glow to it.

She looked away from the crystal ball and looked at Medusa. "Nyamu."

"You want me to look into the crystal ball? Fine." relented Medusa who would get the hell out of here as soon as this was over. She looked into the crystal ball and saw a cloud of smoke beginning to form before an image began to appear.

Medusa could see an image of herself as she was sitting on a broom. She appeared to be near what appeared to be a church by the looks of it. She seemed to be chanting something before the image changed to the inside of the church.

She could see a young girl with a scythe fighting against what appeared to be a girl with pink hair. This didn't peak her interest until she saw something in the pink haired girls eyes. It looked like fear. As though she was scared something was about to get her.

As the fight continued, she saw Stein, one of the teacher's of the academy appear and began to fight the girl. Stein began to win, but was interrupted as herself in the image attacked him.

She looked at Mabaa with an uninterested look. Mabaa just nodded to the crystal ball with her covered head for them to continue. Medusa just sighed and looked back as the image changed.

The scene soon changed to show herself facing off against Stein with neither side relenting. This interested her as it showed how skilled Stein was. As they were fighting, she heard Stein ask something about that kid, the pink haired one. Her other self replied by saying it was hers. That definitely got her interested as she listened very carefully. As she heard Stein and herself talk about what would happen to the child, she felt disgusted to hear herself say she would throw the child away. Is that something she would truly do?

It seemed the crystal ball read her thoughts as the image soon changed to herself standing next to what appeared to be the younger version of the child. She stared at the image with unmoving eyes as herself seemed to not care one bit about the young child. It made her cringe as she saw the child being locked in a dark room because she wouldn't harm a small creature.

The image from the crystal ball faded and Mabaa turned to Medusa to see her reaction. Medusa gripped her knees as tears began to make their way down. Is that what she would become in the future? A cold monster who wouldn't even care for her own child? The image sickened her to the deepest pit of her stomach. The fact she went undercover at the school for the sole purpose of her crazy plan seemed to vanish as she cried.

Mabaa stood up from behind the table and walked over to Medusa and patted her on the back. It seemed to slowly work as Medusa wiped the tears away and turned to the queen witch, then did something that would shock anyone watching. She wrapped her arms around Mabaa and hugged her.

Mabaa stood there and let Medusa do what she was doing and saw her pull back and stand up and walk towards the door. Before she completely left, Medusa looked over her shoulder to Mabaa and said "I'm sorry, for everything," before walking out of the room. Little did she know, that she would be in for a surprise nine months later.

Mabaa nodded and turned to the crystal ball to see another image play out. This one showed Medusa smiling as she held her daughter in one arm, while her other one was occupied by a baby boy with blonde hair.

(Flashback end)

Medusa smiled at the memory and looked down at her little girl. "Don t' worry, Crona. From now, I will protect you with my life. I won't be heartless and deny you the love you deserve." replied Medusa leaning down and planting a soft kiss on her baby girl's forehead.

She was about to open up her suit so Crona could have her first meal, but stopped as she heard something. By the sound of it, it sounded like...crying? She closed her suit and held Crona close and carefully peered out of the door to see what was out here.

She looked down the halls, but didn't see anything. She would have closed the door, but stopped as she looked down and was shocked to see a basket with a baby in it!

The baby appeared to have spiky blonde hair brighter than her own, with sky blue eyes. He also seemed to have three whisker marks on each of his cheeks making him all the more cuter. He also had a note attached to the blanket he was wrapped in. She reached down and pulled the note to her eye level and began reading.

To the person who finds this child, I humbly and ask you to help raise this child with love and compassion. His name is Naruto and he is also the hero of my village. You see, the village from where we're from is known as konoha, or also known as the village hidden in the leaves. I am the third hokage, and the reason the boy is here is because on the day he was born, a great tragedy occurred. The legendary kyuubi attacked our village and caused massive destruction. Our great leader, the fourth hokage had no other choice but to seal the beast within this child, who is also his son. As the hokage he couldn't ask another family to give up their child, which is why he had no other choice. This boy is sent here because even though the fourth wanted his son to be seen as a hero, I know the villagers will take their anger out on the boy and make his life a living hell. So I please ask you who ever you are, to raise this child with love and care. But you will be able to tell him who he really is when he comes of age.

Signed, Sarutobi Hiruzen aka the third hokage.

Medusa stared at the note and then at the young baby with shock. This child was a container of a great demon? Just the thought of the heavy burden he would carry would be even too much for her.

She looked at the baby boy and saw him open his eyes, revealing their blue color that seemed to make you really take notice. She smiled as his little hands reached up towards her as he seemed to recognize her as his momma.

She took both babies inside and brought them over to a crib she had made when she found out she was pregnant with Crona. She put Crona in first and smiled at Naruto before giving him a kiss on the forehead and putting him next to his new sister. Both children smiled at their mother and seemed to hold each other as they began to doze off.

Medusa stood there and stared at her children as she let those words ring in her mind. Her children. She had seen the monster she would have been thanks to Mabaa, but she would never be like that, ever. She would protect her children with her life and make sure they never felt unloved as long as she lived. She gave them one last love filled smile before turning the lights off to let them rest.
