In A Demons Possession

Chapter 1

"It seems the snake is making his move"

"That doesn't surprise me...gather the others. I want to make sure he doesn't intrude on our lands"

"Troublesome, but I'm on it"

oOoOo

The sounds of battle were everywhere. The young Hyuga waited safely and well hidden from view hoping against hope that the signal would never happen as he waited frantically nearby. His thoughts drifted back to earlier when he was summoned to see his uncle and guardian since his father's death.

Flashback...

Neji quickly approached his uncle's office seeing many of the Hyuga guards getting ready for the impending battle that lay ahead. Neji had suited up in the traditional Hyuga armour ready to fight by his uncle's side. Like all the branch members of the Hyuga, who fight to protect the main branch as they had for many years.

Hiashi Hyuga stood taking his last look at the battle plans that had been devised within such a short amount of time. Already dressed in his battle gear he noticed his nephew. Immediately seeing that his nephew was growing to look more like his twin brother Hizashi each day.

"My Lord you summoned me?" Neji bowed in greeting

"Neji...you will not accompany me into battle" Hiashi stated calmly.

"What!?...But, my Lord!"

"Please Neji, that is my order and I will not change it!" Hiashi thundered

Neji clenched his fists tightly, but relented, keeping his head down as he was still knelt before his uncle.

"Neji...Please stand up for me, would you? Hiashi stated softly.

Neji looked up at his uncle and immediately stood up looking at his uncle that reminded him so much of his late father.

"Neji...You do know who we as a clan are up against? I very much doubt we will win this battle"

"...!?.."

"I want you to stay behind and await my signal, if that happens I need you to take Hinata and escape. Both of you are precious to me Hinata my daughter and you, my brother's son." Hiashi stated with a small smile as Neji looked on surprised.

"Please Neji I am trusting you to take Hinata with you and you are to journey to the next human village in Wind Country. You must disguise yourselves do you understand?"

"Yes, Uncle, I will obey your wishes"

"Thank you Neji, I want both of you to survive and find safety. I have made sure provisions are ready for you in the secret escape route. I have instructed Ko to ensure both of you escape safely"

Neji nodded his head as his uncle pulled him to him. Neji looked seeing his uncle looking at him. One of the man's hands were on each of his shoulders, a small smile was showing upon his lips. Neji was shocked at the show of emotion that had now adorned his uncle's normally stoic face.

"You have grown into a fine young man Neji, I know your father would be as proud as I am. I want you to look after Hinata for me as I haven't been the father that I should have been. Stay safe and hidden Neji, Ko is guarding Hinata and will be awaiting you as to my instructions. If I should fall in battle I will send one of my small bird summons if that happens I will instruct it to seek you out"

Neji once more nodded his head in agreement feeling all sorts of emotions from anger, fear and sadness at what was happening.

"My Lord, it is time" One of the Hyuga guards announced as he burst into the room

"I will be there shortly" Hiashi commanded

The guard left as quickly as he arrived as Neji kept his gaze upon his uncle who gathered his weapons and attached them to his body.

"Protect my daughter for me Neji, your journey will be treacherous seeing as we were the last human village within Fire Country."

"Who is this snake attacking us and why, Uncle?"

"The demon snake Orochimaru...he is after the secrets of our clan and bloodline"

"But what of -;"

"Being destroyed as we speak apart from the few scrolls that I have stored within a storage seal along with money that you will need, that I will now give to you, Neji"

Hiashi did a few hand signals placing a large storage scroll within his hands.

"You can store many things inside it you know the hand seals, don't you?"

"Yes, of course"

"I leave this with you. Take care Neji, and thank you for all you have done"

Neji bowed his head as he watched his uncle, who looked so much like his late father disappear from his view and head into battle. Neji hoped that his uncle would return safely but judging from his uncle's words it seems his uncle had resigned himself to his fate. Facing death in battle was a great honour for any clan leader.

End of flashback...

Neji kept glancing around nervously, the sounds of battle outside the gates were haunting, many of the villagers were seeking refuge or trying to leave as the battle grew closer. Within the next few minutes his heart clenched as a small white bird flew towards him circling once then disappearing in a small white cloud of smoke signaling that his uncle had fallen and now it was down to him to ensure he and his cousin escaped the slaughter that lay ahead.

oOoOo

Hinata had been pacing her room in worry as Ko stood outside her closed door. The sounds of battle were clearly heard in the distance that made her heart clench at the unnecessary bloodshed of her people that fought to protect their home village. Ko had entered inside her room earlier having placed male servant clothes within her arms instructing her to dress quickly and not to ask questions.

Hinata nervously removed her deep purple silk kimono and hurriedly dressed in the baggy servant robes. She quickly braided her long indigo hair after removing the many hair ornaments that had been specifically placed that she deeply hated. Once she was fully dressed, just placing the servant's sandals upon her feet she glanced at herself in the mirror noticing how different she looked.

Her door burst wide open revealing a nervous Ko who looked upon her in concern which made Hinata look on nervously for news, feeling nothing but fear and dread.

"We must leave now Hinata-sama" Ko announced as calmly as he could

"W-What!?"

"Please Hinata-sama, no questions, we must escape now!" Ko ordered firmly

Hinata was stunned speechless as she blinked at the order. Nervously, she glanced around her room, her eyes widening in horror at seeing fires and smoke along with cries and shouts of despair outside. Her thoughts were broken as Ko grabbed her and pulled her out of her room, guiding her down the long elegant hallways. Using his eyes, he made certain no one saw them as they got to their destination within the compound.

Ko finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, seeing Neji nervously awaiting them, their eyes met, each of them apart from Hinata knew the circumstances of why they were here.

"Neji sama, I trust you have everything?"

"Yes Ko, Lord Hiashi told me his wishes. I am presuming you're ready as I gather we don't have much time"

"Your right we had better go"

"W-Wait...W-What is going o-on Nii-san!?"

"Hinata-sama, your father has fallen in battle, he has left you in my hands from now on and right now we need to escape before we get caught by the enemy" Neji stated calmly

Hinata felt her heart break at hearing her cousin's words. Although she was never close to her father she still loved him dearly. Her cousin and Ko were now all she seemed to have left as she fought back the tears, nodding her agreement, trying to reign in how scared she was.

"We had better go. I can see the enemy about to enter"

"Shit! Let's hurry"

All three ran down another corridor then down some steps leading to the basement locking the large firm door behind them. Ko carefully moved some barrels containing expensive wines that hid another door that he quickly unlocked with a key he held in his hands.

"Neji-sama, Hinata-sama, quickly, this way" Ko whispered loudly

Hinata was pulled inside by Neji who had lit a torch as Ko closed and locked the door behind them quickly making their way down the narrow corridor that seemed to go on for miles hoping and praying it hadn't yet been discovered by the enemy.

The silence was deafening as their footsteps echoed around them making their shadows dancing along the walls that flickered with the flames from the torch Neji was carrying. Neji saw the end of the corridor and signaled Ko to help move what seemed to be a large boulder that was wedged tight.

The distant echoes alerted them that their village, their home, was now overrun with the enemy and time was of the essence. Neji and Ko managed to move the boulder as they each stepped outside immediately noticing that it had now grown dark. Both Neji and Ko placed the boulder back knowing that they didn't have much time and needed to move.

Neji noticed two horses that were there ready for them, Neji felt his emotions surface his uncle had most probably envisioned what would happen and had this all prepared and ready for them. Neji grabbed Hinata by the hand and began to approach one of the horses, lifting Hinata upon it as he also climbed after making sure she was in front of him. Ko had already mounted the other horse ready for Neji to take the lead as he held the rear.

"Let's go we need to get as far away as possible before we are found by the enemy" Ko stated breaking Neji from his thoughts.

"Agreed...from here on out keep your bloodline active" Neji instructed as Ko nodded his agreement.

Both of horses began to gallop away heading north knowing that now they would be open targets for the many demons that ruled most of the lands outside of the human village they had known most of their lives. What was left of their village now lay in ruins amongst the dying flames of fire and rich black smoke, that was once a happy human village to those that called it their home.

oOoOo

The distant smells of smoke stirred within each demons' senses, each glancing at the direction it was coming from. Their spies had informed them that Orochimaru had taken an interest in the only human village left within Fire Country.

The smell of smoke confirmed that the last human village had fallen to the demon snake and they wondered why he attacked it in the first place. The small group of five had waited on the side lines knowing that trespassers could enter their lands.

"Naruto...your orders?" Shikamaru questioned.

"Use your shadows and scout up ahead report back what you find. The rest of you, remain here" The blonde ordered staring in one direction.

Shikamaru nodded as he disappeared within his shadows, leaving the rest to stand around and await further instructions as each of their eyes glowed amongst their surroundings.

oOoOo

Neji glanced at his cousin seeing the tears flow freely from her lilac tinted eyes from here on out it was just them and she was the only one who didn't bare the curse seal that all branch members of the Hyuga clan had upon their foreheads. He knew many dangers lay ahead for them now, especially knowing that now they were in demon territories.

"Hinata-sama...I know you are upset but you must remain strong we are nowhere near safe and you are the only remaining Hyuga that is unsealed."

Hinata listened to her cousin knowing that he was in fact right. She was now the last of the main branch and subconsciously shivered at knowing what happens if any of the main branch Hyuga were to fail to elude capture for their eyes.

"Here, take this and make sure to wrap it around your forehead" Neji continued handing her a roll of bandages.

Hinata took it as she quickly unwound them and wrapped them carefully around her forehead. Neji also gave her a hooded cloak to keep her warm from the impending cold winds from the north. The seasons were changing. As Autumn was approaching, the long summer nights would now slowly disappear as the winds would pick up, especially on their perilous journey to one of the handfuls of human villages left in their world.

Orochimaru was a snake demon who was obsessed with immortality and experiments that he loved to do, upon not only humans but his own demon brethren themselves. He had many slaves that served him in fear both of human and demon descent. Neji had heard many stories that passed through their small home village of that slippery snake and what he had done.

Neji gritted his teeth, his anger raging inside of him that he, Ko and his cousin were now running for their very lives. He wondered how this journey would play out now that they had been travelling for an hour nonstop so far, they had not encountered any dangers but he knew it wouldn't be long until they did.

They were now well within the lands that were ruled by various demons, he had heard that the Kyubi Lord ruled somewhere here. He had his own lands that he ruled amongst other demon clans that stood by his side and he shivered at what would happen if they encountered him and his demon brethren. He had heard that the Kyubi was not only powerful but had a certain dislike for humans and never sought them out.

"Neji-sama...We are being pursued" Ko stated in a hushed tone.

"Shit! How long till we encounter them"

"About a mile, it seems they picked up our trail and they seem to be gaining on us so I presume it won't be long until they are upon us" Ko answered awaiting further instructions.

Neji was panicking inside cursing his uncle inwardly for having placed such a burden on his shoulders and knowing they were now sitting ducks in unexplored terrain that was not resided by their own kind.

"Neji-sama...take care of Hinata sama" Ko whispered softly

Neji's eyes widened as he turned hastily to face the man he has known since he was young who cared for his cousin as though she was his own.

"Ko!?"

"Ko!?...N-No...p-please d-don't leave" Hinata pleaded with a pained cry.

"Neji-sama please look after her in my absence and keep her safe"

Neji felt conflicted but seeing the man's eyes harden with his own resolve he knew he couldn't talk the man out of it, even knowing it would lead to his death. He felt his cousin struggle within his arms feeling his own arm keeping hold of her tightly against him. The beauty tried desperately to get to her guardian to beg and reason with him not to be so foolish.

Neji gritted his teeth as he felt her nails dig into his skin as she fought hard for release leaving him no other alternative but to press a pressure point rendering her unconscious feeling immense guilt at doing so.

"Ko...you know you don't have to do this" Neji reasoned letting his emotions finally show.

Ko stared at him a rare smile adorned his face as he glanced to the now sleeping princess that he had taken care of since she was just a toddler.

"I know...but it's the only way and time is not on our side I'm afraid, you don't have much time but hopefully I can give you more if I can hold them off long enough."

"Ko...if you manage to...follow and catch us up" Neji stated holding back his own tears

"I will...if I don't however tell Hinata sama that I gladly died to protect her and her future" Ko stated hiding his falling tears from Neji

"I will...but I hope that's not going to happen" Neji answered solemnly

Ko chuckled knowing that Neji couldn't bring himself to say goodbye to him. He watched him signal the horse to gallop off into the distance knowing that this would be the last time he saw both the princess of the Hyuga clan and the prodigious nephew who would hopefully protect their clan and future in his place. Ko turned away wiping his falling tears as he prepared to face their pursuers knowing his own death would certainly be the outcome.

oOoOo

The group of demons awaited further instructions from their leader knowing that their terrain was now being invaded by not only humans but Orochimaru's forces as well. Shikamaru stood watching his blonde leader knowing that he was raging at what he had just reported.

"Well?" Shikamaru bravely asked knowing that an order needed to be given now for them to act upon it.

"Fuck! How dare they trespass on our lands how many are there again, Shika?" The blonde questioned again his eyes a deep red.

"Three humans and six followers of the snakes" Shikamaru answered in a bored tone

"Tch...Well what do you want us to do, Dobe!" Sasuke finally snapped hating to be kept waiting knowing that Orochimaru's lackeys had the audacity to breech their lands without a care.

"Fine! Shikamaru take Tenten and round up the humans and bring them back to base for questioning do not let them escape, if they give you trouble disable them but don't kill them"

Shikamaru nodded his head as he signaled Tenten to accompany him in getting the two humans. The blonde sighed reigning in his anger as much as he could but knowing it was futile as he nodded to Sasuke and Sakura to follow him to encounter the snake's lackeys knowing blood would spill soon. The Kyubi within him was chuckling at being able to release his claws upon the demon filth that served the treacherous snake Orochimaru.

"Come on let's go" The blonde hissed disappearing in a flash as the other two followed suit.

oOoOo

The last raspy breath of life was finally relinquished as the demon released the noble Hyuga. Another smirked watching the man's blood spill like water onto the ground that was now his resting place.

"Shall we proceed, Kabuto?"

"Of course, since he didn't cooperate with us...such a pity that these damn noble Hyuga's would rather die than be ruled and subdued for our master"

"Whatever I don't give a fuck don't you think we are wasting our time chasing these pussies!?" A female demon hissed, her long, pink-tinted hair flowing.

"Now, now, Tayuya, you were present when Lord Orochimaru gave us our orders"

"Tch...Well let's fucking get going then" She retorted

Kabuto grinned getting ready to direct Tayuya and a handful of hybrid slaves to venture forth knowing they themselves didn't have the time to mess around knowing they were now in Lord Kyubi's demon lands which was unfortunate.

"Alright be on your gua-"

The demon Kabuto was cut off when the ground he stood on began to rumble loudly as it moved, causing him to stumble slightly as he regained his instincts making sure to get somewhere safe to see what was going on.

Three of the demon hybrids perished within the mass of dirt and earth suffocating them deep beneath. There his demon snake eyes saw flowing strands of candy pink hair the colour of Sakura flowers that graced the many trees in season. Emerald green eyes glowed as she released her clenched fist from upon the only stable ground that remained whereas destruction was all around them.

"Sakura Haruno from the Haruno clan, I presume" Kabuto announced, his voice sickeningly sweet.

"You're trespassing, Snake" Sakura hissed, her emerald green eyes flared with anger.

Kabuto raised his glasses as he took the pink haired demon in, she was indeed beautiful wearing a red outfit that clung to her curves, her shoulder length candy pink hair flowed with the breeze as she clenched her gloved fist. Her forehead was slightly larger than normal but there was a small diamond shape present upon it.

"No need to be rude, my dear we were searching for some prisoners that escaped from my Lord" Kabuto reasoned.

The sound of crackling could be heard a short distance behind him that made him, Tayuya and the remaining hybrid to look behind. There stood another demon with dark raven hair, red eyes with black tomoes spinning dangerously who was looking at them, his hand were crackling with blue coloured lightening in warning. Kabuto swallowed nervously recognising those eyes immediately it was the legendary sharingan from the Uchiha clan.

"Sasuke Uchiha!?" Kabuto whispered

"Hn...Bullshit! Don't you mean you're trying to recover any survivors from the human village your master decided to destroy?" Sasuke sneered.

Kabuto clenched his fists in fury knowing that his lie had been seen through and their real intentions were known. A flash of yellow appeared before them the sudden surge of killing intent made each of them tremble as the blonde Lord glared at them where they each stood.

"Y-You!?"

"How dare you step on my lands for your slimy bastard of a master" Naruto hissed his eyes flashing dangerously, ready to kill at any moment.

Kabuto stood his ground as Tayuya remained motionless feeling the power of each of the three demons before her, knowing that without her own team present, they was seriously outnumbered. Kabuto decided that a retreat was in order even though he knew his Lord wouldn't be happy.

Naruto watched as all three disappeared in a plume of smoke his anger still boiling at the audacity of them trespassing his lands. He growled in distaste at their retreat but was glad they had left his presence as his anger began to slowly dissipate.

"What now?" Sasuke asked

"Let's head back to base" Naruto answered with a sigh.

Sasuke glanced towards Sakura seeing her looking at the now dead body of one of the presumed humans that they had been chasing.

"Sakura..."

"It seems he was beaten severely he has a lot of internal bleeding"

"Why kill him slowly?" Naruto questioned, crouching down beside her looking at the dead body.

"That's what I want to know" Sakura sighed opening one of the eyelids

Sasuke stared at the body and took interest at the pupiless eyes that were silver but faded due to death.

"Hyuga" Sasuke stated.

"What?" Naruto asked confused

"He means that this man was obviously a member of the Hyuga clan, dummy" Sakura answered

"They are one of the oldest and most noble clans in the human line, so I wouldn't be that surprised if that was why that village was attacked by the snake especially considering his obsession with experiments for power" Sasuke added.

"So, we have two humans within my land that may be from the Hyuga clan? Let's hope Shikamaru and Tenten find them and take them to base so I can see them myself" Naruto stated calmly.

"What will you do? Kill them?" Sakura questioned

"I may. It depends on what we find out when I see them" Naruto answered

Sasuke and Sakura glanced at each other knowing that either way both humans would have it rough and they would wish that they never stepped foot within their lands, especially since Naruto hated humans.

oOoOo
