Hidden Fae

Chapter 1

Location Forest of Death

Deep within it stood a large great oak tree that grew over an old castle in runes, vines and roots over taking it after centuries pass. And within the runes of that castle, deep within a stoned wall chamber, stood a bed with a long black hair and horned woman lying on it sleeping. She has been slumbering for over several Millennium, haven willingly fallen into deep slumber after her adopted daughter's death. A death she couldn't prevent and was the sole person responsible for.

But even deep within those runes, the slumbering woman could hear what sounded like crying. The sounds of a child crying from sorrow and pain. 'Why is a young one crying?' Was the thought running though her mind as she slowly opened her eyes after so long, sitting up and seeing the state the room after sleeping for so long. Her golden eyes looked around as her black wings unwrapped themselves from her body and slowly, she sat up.

Outside of the Old Oak

A small girl with golden locks that had crimson streaks running through it, laid on the root of the old oak crying. "Why? Why do they hate me so much?" she question herself as she curled up into a tiny ball under the rays of sunlight that trickled through the canopy of the Giant trees of the fenced off forest, she hid in.

But unknown to the child, a woman was standing in the shadows looking down at her. 'Aurora?!' She thought to herself as she looked down at the golden mop of hair that had crimson locks entwine within it. "Little beasty, why do you cry?" Question the woman.

The girl froze at hearing a woman's voice and being called a beasty. She slowly looked up at the woman that stood before her and saw she had long black hair that hung freely over her right shoulder, two horns coming out from her head and golden eyes.

"I-I'm hiding." Said the girl as tears kept streaming down her swollen red cheeks. Her right cheek appeared to be bruised and some dry blood was at her nose.

The woman tilted her head to the right, and the girl saw she held a black staff in that hand. "And why are you hiding beasty?" she question the girl.

Nahiko now tilted her head at this woman. 'Doesn't she know I'm the demon brat that everyone hates?' She question herself as she didn't know how to feel about this or about this woman that stood before her. "I don't know. The villagers hate me, and they get really bad on my birthday each year. This is the only place they will not fallow me too. I have taken to hiding in this large forest that is fenced off from the village." She told the woman.

Maleficent wasn't a fool, she could feel an evil dark power coming off the girl, but this power was not part of the girl. She was more like the vessel that held that dark power at bay. "I see. Tell me beasty, do you have a name?" She question.

"My name is Nahiko Uzumaki, it's the name given to me by my parents before they died. Well that is what the old man tells me anyways." Said the now named Nahiko as she looks down at her hands and back up at the raven hair woman.

Maleficent studies the girl before her, but doesn't feel any lies coming from her, what the child says is true. Or so she believes it to be true. "Tell me then beasty...I mean Nahiko, where are we?" She question as this world around her felt different. She didn't feel the same magic of the days of old. Instead, a new power was flowing through the plants and animals that surround her.

Nahiko blinks and looks at the woman, confused but answers her still. "We are in the village of Konoha, but where we are right now is the Forest of Death, also known as training ground 44. That is what the crazy snake lady tells me when she has to come and find me for Jiji." She told the woman before her.

Maleficent nods her head to this. 'It appears this world has gone through many changes since I have fallen asleep. Also, it appears this isn't a world under Britannia rule any longer.' She thought to herself when she felt a tug on her long black dress. She looks down at the little girl that reminded her of her long-lost adopted daughter. "What is it beasty?" She asked.

Nahiko tilted her head to the side. "What is your name?" She question with pure innocence in her eyes.

This soften Maleficent's eyes slightly, just looking down at the child before her. "My name is Maleficent. I was once the Fae that protected this land that you now call 'Konoha'." She told the little girl.

Nahiko, for her part, just nodded her head, and then looked confused at the horned woman. "What's a Fae?" She question.

Maleficent blinked at the girl and looked at her as if she had grown animal ears and a tail. "A Fae is another name for a Fairy." She told the child before her.

Nahiko's eyes grew huge. "You're a fairy! That is soo cool! Do you grant wishes and stuff?" she asked a mile a minute to Maleficent.

Hokage's Tower

The Third Hokage sat at his office desk, glaring at the stack of paper that sat across from him, and let out a defeated sigh. "I must get this over and done with if I want to have dinner with Nahiko tonight." He told himself as he looked out the window of his office to the village that he pledge to protect against all her greatest enemies.

But then, a Neko masked ANBU appeared before the leader of her village. "Hokage-dono, We are unable to find Nahiko. But Inu has called forth his summons and have picked up her scent, as well as a small trail of blood heading towards the training grounds." Said Neko as she kept calm but was worried for the little girl that her and her team have looked after since she was about a year old.

The Hokage for his part, looked up from the form that he was looking at to the purple hair Neko masked woman. "Let me know when Inu finds her and bring her to me." He ordered as he put the sheet of paper back down on his desk and stood up to walk over to the window overlooking the village. Looking down at the villagers, all drunk and celebrating like fools below him. 'If only I was a younger man, I could do much more for you my dear. But sadly, I am just a foolish old man that has placed too much trust in the wrong people.' He thought darkly to himself as he let out a sigh and pulled out his pipe. With a snap of his fingers it was lite, and he was taking in a deep breath of the rich, intoxicating tobacco that filled his pipe and the smoke now filled his lungs.

Training Grounds

Inu ran after a pack of hounds, all with different colored vest and fur to show each different breed of dog. A small pug led the pack as they all sniffed the ground, looking around for the child they all adored as she always liked playing with them when Inu would babysit her when she was smaller. To them, she was one of their pups.

"Pup, her scent is coming strongly from that Forest." Said the Pug.

This froze the Inu masked ANBU. He looked up ahead and saw the massive forest, where he could hear the sounds of the many wild and dangerous animal coming from there and rushed towards it along with his dogs.

Forest Of Death

Maleficent looked up from Nahiko as she could hear dog's barking from outside of the forest. 'It appears a pack of wild dogs are coming this way.' She thought to herself.

Nahiko looks up to when she heard the doggies that she would play with coming. "Inu's doggies are coming!" She said excitedly while looking behind Maleficent, where a man with silver hair that defied gravity and a pack of wild dog appeared.

"Nahiko, there you are, are you alright?" Asked a worried Inu sense he could see the little girl is a little banged up, and there was an unknown woman standing before her, talking to her, and he wasn't sure if should be worry or not.

Nahiko tilts her head to the right while looking at Inu, a little confused at this point. "I'm alright. This nice lady was checking up on me and talking to me." She said while pointing to Maleficent, who turned to looked at the Dog Masked man.

He took a step back at seeing her large horns that he didn't noticed when he had arrived. A smirk crept across her lips at the sight of him becoming frighten of her. 'This could work.' She thought to herself while looking at him.

"I will be taking over caring for this little beasty from now on. It appears no one around here cares about her enough to do so." Said Maleficent with a wicked grin as she scoops up Nahiko into her arms.

"Miss, you cannot do that, and don't call her beasty." Growled out Inu, he wasn't cowering before the woman now.

Pakkun and the other's began growling at the woman to. "Give us back out little pup." He growled out as the other dogs agreed.

She arched a brow at the talking dog before her. "Why do animals begin to speak freely?" She question as she studied the little pug before her, and the other dogs alongside him.

Pakkun and the other dog summons are taken back by this. 'What is that crazy horned woman talking about?' 'What? Hold up does this woman have horns?' They all though together.

"She is part of the pack. She is part of our own pup's pack." Growled out a tan greyhound with a navy-blue vest and sunglasses.

Maleficent arched another brow at this talking dog. "Well, she is now part of my pack." She told the dog very calmly, sounding like a noble woman. The greyhound took a step back away from the woman, letting out a whimper.

"What do you mean, part of your pack?" Question Inu as he arched a brow from under his mask. He wanted to remove his mask and have a better look at her with his gifted eye, that's when Maleficent could felt a strange kind of magic trying to form around her, trying to blind her from seeing her new little beasty, but she wasn't going to have any of that. With one powerful stomp of her staff, a shock wave of green energy pushed out from it, breaking the Genjutsu that Inu was trying to place her under and pushed him away from her. The blast was enough to slam his body against a tree that stood behind him.

Nahiko jumped up to her feet and ran over to the down Inu and looked him over. "Inu-chan, are you going to be okay?" She asked him with tears at the corners of her eyes.

Inu's mask fell off and a young man with half his face covered with a face mask laid on the ground, with a crack running down the center of the mask from the force of her magic.

"WHY DID YOU HURT HIM!?" Yelled Nahiko as she turned to look at Maleficent with tears rolling down her puffy cheeks. Crimson chakra began to seep out of her body as the wild dark aura of a nine-tail fox appeared out of the aura surround the little girl.

Hokage Tower

The Third Hokage felt the blast of a strange chakra he had never felt before in his life, It felt different from anything he had ever felt, and he had fought against several tail beast host during the past several Shinobi Wars. It felt like nature itself with a hint of darkness within it. His head snapped over to Neko. "Get your team, we are heading out." He ordered in a calm voice.

As those words left his lips, another dark chakra fallowed in its Wake, and it was the one that he knew all too well from only 8 years ago, the night many souls had been lost. Without blinking an eye as two people walk into his office, the Hokage vanish in a swirl of leaves. Leaving the two fools that wanted to complain about something that he had no time to deal with. He need to get to his granddaughter and quickly.

Within Forest of Death

As the fox shape aura danced wildly around the little girl, Maleficent watched on, both intrigued and worried. 'Beasty has an interesting surprised held within her. One that I will have to deal with before it over takes her.' She thought as the hilt of her staff touched Nahiko's forehead. Knocking the girl out into Inu's arms. He then looks up at the woman before looking down at the child again and see that a strange mark formed on the little girl's forehead.

The wind picks up as several katanas and kunai blades are held at Maleficent's neck. An elderly man in white and crimson robes appear before her ,with a large hat resting on his head with a strange symbol she had only seen a few time from the Chinese and Japanese sailors when they would visit so often the ports near the kingdom.

"What is the meaning of this?" Demanded a powerful and calm voice that came from the elderly man that stood before her. His old grey eyes looked at the woman from head...no from horn to toe, she was an unknown that was interreacting with her granddaughter and he wasn't going to have any of it.

"I awoke to a child crying over my resting place." Said Maleficent as her eyes traveled to the now sleeping girl, the rune she had placed on the girl's forehead glowed a soft crimson as the dark aura was trying to fight it.

"What do you mean your resting place?" Question the Third Hokage as he looked over at the horned woman with confusion on his face. His eyes slowly fallow her own as he now notices the strange seal on the little girl's forehead. "What have you done to her?" He growled out this question, wanting to know now, for his fear was spiking and he didn't know what had happen, he had never seen anything like the seal he had seen on the little girl before in his life...Wait he had...but it was in an old book...one that belong to the Uzumaki Clan.

"Like I told you before, She had found my resting place. The place I was left to sleep as many had believed I died the day my own child was murdered by the hands of the man she believed she loved." Said Maleficent in an icy tone that froze everything around her. They could fell her pain, sorrow and pure hatred for the one that had taken so much from her.

Behind her was a large doorway that wasn't seen before on the mighty old oak tree, It blended in so seamlessly one wouldn't even notice it if they were not looking for the doorway. She caught the question in the old man's eyes and let out an annoyed sigh. "What is this land called?" She question him.

Slowly, Sarutobi's eyes moved back to meet her own powerful emerald green eyes. "We are in the Land of Fire, and the village that this forest is held in Is known as Konohagakure no Sato." He told her.

She nodded her head. "It appears I have been asleep longer than I have thought, for this land was once known as Britannia. A land once ruled by a foolish King who stole so much from me and I took what he held most dear. But in the end what he held dear, became dear to myself as well, and in the end, I gave everything I had to keep her safe." She said while looking up to the sky, blinking away tears that wished to break free.

"I see." Was all Sarutobi could say as he was finally figuring out what she was talking about. "What do you want with Nahiko?" He asked once more.

"I will raise beasty as my own child. She reminds me of my very own little beasty at her age." Said Maleficent with a soft smile while looking at the little girl that was now sleeping in Inu's arms, and the crimson aura began fading away as a soft golden light over took the rune symbol on her forehead.

Allowing her to know that her very own power had over taken the other that was within the little girl.

"Why was beasty injured?" She questioned while looking back over at the elderly leader.

This is where the Third Hokage appeared to age a 100 years before her eyes and she arched a brow while watching him, and then looked back at the silver hair boy with the annoying crimson eye that was trying to weave some type of magic over her. Even he looked to have age as well as he handed over Nahiko to the hounds that now surrounds and protects the little girl while she still slept, on a small bed of grass surrounded by flowers.

"She was born on a night when a demon attacked our very village and killed many, Shinobi and villagers alike that night. The attack happen well after midnight and all were sleeping or returning from missions or leaving for missions. The Forth Hokage, the leader before and after myself gave his life along with his wife to seal away the demon within the child you see right there. He wished for her to be seen as the savior of our village, but the fools of this village disrespected their final wishes and blame the child for the night of Kyubi no Yoko attack. For the only thing she had done that night was be born." Said the Third Hokage looking away.

Inu looked down at the little girl as tears rolled down his cheeks, as he caught on long ago that Nahiko was their daughter. The little girl that supposedly died the night of the attack next to her family.

"Then it is settled. I will care for beasty within this Forest. I will train her in both the dark and light arts of magic that are only known to my kind. As well as keep that beast within her at bay. I do not want her relying on that thing." Said Maleficent as if this manner at hand had been settle.

"It isn't as easy as you believe, Miss...?" Said the Third Hokage, leaving it hanging, cause no one had gotten her name from when they all began talking.

"I am Maleficent, Former Queen and Guardian of the Moors. A Dark Fae, and once a upon a time, Fairy Godmother to my daughter Aurora." Said Maleficent, amused at the looks of shock on their faces for the titles she once held.

Sarutobi took a moment to settle himself down before speaking. "I am Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Third Hokage of Konoha." He told her.

She nodded her head to him. "But you must know one thing, Nahiko wishes to become a Kunoichi of this village to protect those who are dear to her, and one day take the title of Hokage for herself. Like all those who came before me and after myself." He said as he took out his pipe to have a calming smoke.

"That won't be a problem. I was once a warrior myself and she would benefit from learning from me, for whatever magic that boy there used on me wasn't as effective as it would have been against you little monkeys." Said Maleficent as she still didn't like the lone crimson eye that Inu has.

"We will have to wait until Nahiko is awake to ask her if she would like to go with you, then and only then will I allow it." Said Sarutobi as he still felt a little uneasy.

Within Nahiko's mindscape

Crimson eyes slowly open as it could feel ancient powers long forgotten in this new world of Shinobi. Powers that belong in a world long passed, a world that these meat bags knew nothing about. Slowly, the crimson eyes closed as Runes slowly began forming over the seal on its cage doors. It would never been allowing its freedom for now, but a day would come, and it would once more be free.

This is a new story that I am working with Queen Mab the Second. We hope you enjoy.
