Underlined speech is thought.
Italicized words signify emphasis put on words or a change in tone.
Italicized sentences are songs/chants; whatever you what to call them. When a word is bolded, it is being spoken by only the pleasure. If it is underlined, it is being spoken by only the edel raid. A word with (parentheses) around it is echoed. The numbers of echoes are the same as the number of parentheses pairs. Also, if a parentheses pair is (underlined), it is only the edel raid's voice that echoes it. The reverse is true with (bolding). If a word is bolded at the first letter and underlined at the last, it is when their words are out of sync and the pleasure's voice comes first. The reverse is true of this.
CAPITALIZED SPEECH IS YELLING.
These are … interruptions in …speech caused … by things …like laughing,…crying, thought,.. and…others.
Bold words are author notes.
A/N hello readers, I checked fanfiction and only found a few Elemental Gelade and Naruto crossovers, and only two that have a naruhina pairing the first is Origins of the Elemental Gelade by Chewie cookies and the second is the original of this story by soundless steps. So without any further adieu i present my rewrite of Edel Raid and Pleasure: A Dream and a Song
CHAPTER ONE: A great change
Let me tell you my story
I promise, everything I tell you is true, even the lies…
Especially the lies
The lies I've told others
The lies others have told me
And the lies I've told myself
My story doesn't actually begin when I was born, but much earlier
But once again I've gotten ahead of myself
~Konoha~
Only a few months had passed since the devastating attack made by the greatest of the tailed beasts the Nine tailed fox. Thankfully the damage was minimal, thanks mostly to the beast being stopped far from the walls. Even so, being summoned within Konoha as well as its assault before the great third Hokage could force the beast from the city had left parts of the village severely damaged, but even these scars to the city would be healed within a few more months.
The greatest devastation to the village was to its ninja forces, casualties counted nearly a quarter of the active forces most of whom that didn't die in the attack passed away within a month or was permanently crippled from the poisonous chakra of the Nine tails. Many civilians died that day as well but by far what most believe was the greatest loss that night was the death of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze along with his wife Kushina Uzumaki gave their lives to defeat the great beast and seal it in to a young child.
This was not the only damage to occur, beyond the abilities of human senses a dimensional rift had appeared torn open in the final moments of the great beast's attack. though this was not the first time a rift like this has opened but, the recent use of the flying thunder god jutsu had weakened the space-time barriers allowing this particular rift to remain open months longer than it should have. And where there is a rift, things have a habit of passing through.
It was on the eve of the new year that that something did slip through the rift, the figure that did this was clearly a woman in an astral form that appeared no older than seventeen. Everything from the shoulders down was transparent and outlined with a soft green glow. She had long, straight baby-blue hair that fell all the way down to her back. Her eyes were an entrancing shade of emerald green. The most unique feature was an emerald-like gem right above the brow of her forehead. The astral figure looked down at the village before flying to it. "I don't know why, but I feel there is something I must do there before returning to my realm."
As she floated through the village she could sense the pain and sorrow that hung heavy in the air, looking around trying to discern the reason she slipped in to this realm as she passed a apartment building she heard a baby crying. Letting curiosity take over she decided to follow the sound passing straight through the wall she observed a blond infant being picked up by a man in a dog mask and shushed softly while being fed from a bottle. soon the infant quieted down and fell asleep again, afterwards the man placed the infant back in his crib. As the man left the room the girl floated towards the crib and looked inside. The infant inside was no more than a couple of months old a shock of blond hair on his head and three whisker marks adorned each cheek.
The girl giggled lightly at this as she had never seen a human with whisker marks before. "I dont know why" she said to the sleeping infant "But I get the feeling that you're part of the reason why I'm here." With this said she reached down and lightly touched the infant's forehead and felt herself enter the boys mind.
Upon entering the mindscape the girl saw that it had taken the shape of a stone passageway like a basement corridor and that there was a few inches of water in the bottom, she herself had taken a more physical form as well. Hearing a low growl and sensing an ominous feeling she decided to follow it down the corridor, her foot steps barely making a ripple in the water as she walked over the top of it. As the girl reached the end of the corridor she saw a large cage, the bars a golden color and where the doors meet a thin strip of paper with the world seal written on it sat. Inside of this cage sat a massive sleeping kitsune (fox demon) its nine long tails wrapped around itself and if one were to listen to its deep snores they would hear the slightest sound of a whimper.
Seeing this the young girl walked up to the cage and laid her hand on the barrier preventing her from passing through the bars "I see" she said after a moment. "You have a lot of hatred, but more than that there's pain, loss and even regret. I think I now know why I'm here." With that said she walked away from the cage and left the boys mindscape.
Opening her eyes she looked at the infant. "I understand now, I'll do everything in my power to help the both of you, Oh whats this?" As she looks closer she notices something new about the boy a thin red line like a thread leading from the infants pinkey "Interesting, I think this will help me." And with that thought she floated away, following the boys red thread of fate.
Down in the despairing village, there were still plenty reason's for hope for the future. One of these reasons slept comfortably in a crib within the Hyuga Clan mansion. The parents of this child looked down at her and smiled. The first to speak was the woman. "Hiashi, what kind of girl do you think Hinata-chan will be when she grows up?"
The man beside her smiled. "If she has inherited as many of your genes as I think she has, Hinata shall grow up to be a beautiful and kind woman. It will be difficult raising her into a fine heir Hiromi."
She gave him a half-hearted glare with light purple eyes. "I don't know. From what I have seen so far, this clan could use a change. I still don't approve of that way the branch members are controlled."
"I know, but there is little I can do about that. If it weren't for the fact that one of those branch members is my own twin, I would also be pro-seal. Until I become a Hyuga elder and Hinata becomes head, this will only continue."
Hiromi let out a sigh. "I know. We should leave Hinata-chan alone so she can get some rest. I could use some sleep myself." Just as they opened the door to the room, they heard the sound of powerful gusts of wind. They quickly turned towards their daughter. Shock was written on both of their faces.
The crib where their daughter slept was surrounded by a dome formed of thick, visible wisps of wind. The transparent girl that slowly became visible before Hinata filled them with even more worry. The woman spoke with a soft voice that held underlying kindness. "I now know what I must do."
Hiashi charged forward, intent on stopping whatever was about to happen. This proved useless as the barrier of wind redirected him to the side no matter how hard he pushed against it. He clenched his teeth in frustration. "I can't do anything."
The girl clasped her hands together in a prayer-like fashion.
On this night, peace and calm;
I sing this song for (you).
Both of the parents felt their worries melt away at the soothing and angelic voice of this woman.
Let my song fill you
Deep into the (depths) of your heart.
Yours is a (heart)
Pure as the crystal winds
Twisting and mingling with the golden (earth).
Now, with this heart
Accept the power I ((grant)).
Both Hiashi and Hiromi shielded their eyes thanks to a bright flash of light. When this light was gone, all that was left behind was their daughter. As any worried parents would, the pair ran up to their child's crib. A gasp of shock escaped the mother's mouth when she laid eyes on her child. "W-what is this?"
Hiashi looked down at his daughter with a serious expression. Much to his own surprise, an emerald green gem could now be seen on her head. Its position and shape was exactly the same as the strange girl. The father activated his Byakugan for a better look. After a few seconds, he let out a sigh. "I do not know what happened. Outside of the gem on her head, absolutely nothing has changed. From what I can tell, that gem is now a part of her. I don't think removal would be wise."
Hiromi looked down at Hinata will concerned eyes. "I wonder who that girl was."
Far above the village, that same girl flew back to the spatial rift. Because of her existence as an astral being, she could see it. Just before reaching it, she stopped and looked down at the village. "By giving that girl the same Elemental Gelade I possess, I have turned her into an Edel Raid. It is good that her life will still be no longer than a human's. I can only hope she will be able to help the boy and her daughters find kind pleasures as partners." Her head and eyes drooped a bit. "So tired. I should return. Cou might worry if I am not there when he wakes." After she flew through the portal, it finally closed.
