Rage… Anger… Vindication… These were just a few of the words egging on a blonde teen's fury as he called upon more and more of his inner beast's power. The source of these feelings; his orange haired, ripple eyed opponent who had so casually and mercilessly killed the only girl to say that she loved him.

Currently, he had six tails worth of power with a fox skeleton hanging over him, his pure white eyes glaring hatefully at the orangette man. However, he had to instinctively focus on trying to keep from getting crushed from the jutsu that had been used to make a makeshift moon. No matter how much his body tried to fight against the pull, it wasn't enough and he became buried inside.

The man narrowed his rippled eyes at his construct, prepared for anything should the Kyuubi container break free. It was a good thing too, since an eight-tailed fox that only lacked skin and fur broke out in certain parts with only the shoulders to head and eight tails free. Red eyes met pale purple while inside of the seal on the fox, something else was happening.

The same blonde teen was on his knees in front of a metal cage door inside of the seal on his naval. On the other side was the Kyuubi who was grinning cruelly with sharp dagger teeth. Next to the fox was a replica of the teen, only with red eyes that had black sclera; his inner darkness named Yami.

"Come, boy… Rip the seal and you'll have the strength to destroy that fool who dared attack your home."

The voice of the fox was like velvet to the distraught blonde. He just didn't know what to do and his home was being obliterated by Pein. Yami walked over to him from the fox's side of the cage, making him look up into the darker eyes of his other half. A hand was offered to him, one filled with promises of vindication.

His blue eyes had dulled and he made to reach for his other half, who grinned exactly like the fox behind him…

However, something intervened; something tainted and full of darkness. "My, my, my… To think that I could find such a delicious amount of dark power inside of a mere human is nothing short of splendid!"

The fox and Yami turned to the source who had had begun to step out of the shadows. The figure had pale skin, silvery white hair, and wore a dark outfit that looked to be torn, stitched, chained, and ragged leather that had evil red faces here and there on it. The top of her face was covered by a leather cowl, but pure red eyes pierced their very souls while the wicked red claws on her left hand glinted in what little light the seal had.

She giggled cruelly with a hint of insanity as she stepped up to the blue eyed blonde, who was still on his knees. She knelt beside him and stroked his chin with her normal looking right hand, making him shiver at the touch. Surprisingly gentle, she raised his face so that lost blue met devious red and her grin grew slightly.

"Don't listen to those fools, child," she stated, her voice laced with her dark power that slowly broke what little emotional defenses the teen had left in the wake of the events Pein had caused. "They know nothing of what the darkness can give you. Their darkness is but a ripple in the vast ocean that is my darkness."

Yami made to stop her, but he suddenly stopped and felt blood roll down his chest to his legs. He slowly looked down to see her clawed left hand speared through the middle of his upper torso with the claws themselves seen coming out of his back. "H-How-?"

She giggled cruelly once again without removing her eyes from Naruto's, her other hand still caressing his face. "Foolish boy… You have no idea what I'm capable of. Now, I have no business with you; begone!"

Yami could do nothing but fade into flecks of darkness as he was destroyed by the invading woman. Kyuubi growled at this, having lost the medium needed to fully control its host. "What are you?" it asked with a snarl. "You clearly aren't human, so what in the world are you?"

"I…am the answer to this young man's dilemma. I am the darkness he needs," As she spoke, she turned her attention to Naruto, speaking to him directly, "and I will give it to you so that you could avenge your home, your people, and that sweet girl who died for you." Her grin widened slightly once more when she saw his resolve breaking. Without stopping her soft caress of his face, she finished, "Just accept my offer; become mine. Once you do, I will give you the power you desperately desire."

The blonde looked into her red pools, unable to see anything whether it was deceit or sincerity. Seeing no better option since she had shown how the fox was using him, he nodded and sealed his fate. "I…I accept, miss…"

Her grin threatened to split her face at this point as she stated, "I am LadyDevimon; but you will call me..." she then forcefully kissed him, injecting him with her dark power, "...Mistress."

Then everything went black.

X-x-X-x-X

A groan escaped the blonde's lips as his blue eyes blearily opened and he took note of his surroundings. Wherever he was, the place looked to be in horrible shape. The wood was rotting in the flooring and walls, broken benches and chairs littered the place, none of the windows was perfectly intact, and there were even a few holes in the ceiling which presented the starry sky to him.

"W-Where am I?" he asked, panic growing before a shiver went down his spine. The next thing he knew was the familiar caress of the woman who had offered him power.

"Why, you're in my humble home, Naruto Uzumaki," she declared as she moved herself away from him and up the small steps to the head of the large room. "I do hope you grow to love the place…because you won't be leaving for quite a while."

He looked confused and made to ask what she was talking about before he froze. Realization slammed into him like a bolt of lightning and a cold sweat fell down his face. Horrified blue eyes met her grinning face as he stuttered, "Y-You mean t-that-?"

"That's right," she confirmed. "You took my offer of power, and now you're mine. And believe me; I don't plan on letting someone with such intoxicating darkness out of my grasp anytime soon." She then turned her back to him and spread her tattered black wings before she looked back over her shoulder. "You're a long way from home, Naruto-kun. It would be best if you learn to accept that there's no going back. After all, it would take a tremendous amount of power to weaken the walls between worlds again."

"Walls between worlds?" he repeated, feeling cold fear grip his heart.

"That's right!" she stated in a slight singsong tone as she shot out of one of the holes in the roof. Her voice echoed back into the abandoned church she called a home, "Why don't you take a look around and see for yourself?"

And then she was gone, leaving a frozen Naruto standing in the middle of the ruined building. Her last words rang in his mind before he rushed out the doors and took note of the small forest that surrounded the building. Lights were seen in the distance and he wasted no time in rushing over to them in hopes of his captor being wrong.

However, the cold hard truth met his eyes as soon as he stepped off of the dirt road and onto the concrete streets. Blue eyes widened in shock and fear as buildings were seen reaching the skies, metal boxes with wheels sped past him, people dressed strangely walked on by, and dozens – if not hundreds – of bright signs and lights nearly blinded him. His breathing began to quicken and he gripped his chest before he turned around and rushed back to the abandoned church.

As soon as he stepped inside, his body shut down from the shock and he fell unconscious, unaware of LadyDevimon leaning on the broken altar at the head of the room and watching him. When he passed out, she strode over to him and crouched down beside him, stroking his whiskered cheek with a small smile.

"Poor, poor Naruto… If only you were in the right state of mind to see the error of accepting my help." She then lifted his head and placed it in her kneeling lap, her hand moving from his cheek to his wild blonde hair. "But still…I am thrilled that you did accept. It's quite boring here, and I'm sure you'll liven things up, my precious little pet."

Surprising herself, she bent down and brushed her lips against his before she grinned darkly once more.

"I have no doubt about that."

X-x-X-x-X

A few days had passed and the blonde Uzumaki was seated on the rotted wooden floor with his back against the equally rotted wall. His eyes were dull and lifeless as he stared at the floor, having finally accepted that he wasn't going to return home unless he drew on at least eight tails of the Kyuubi's chakra once again.

And if he did that, he'd lose himself before he even had the chance to try.

He absently rubbed his left arm which had become much paler than his natural skin complexion. From the elbow down to his wrist, his left sleeve had been ripped off while two holes were also seen in the back of his shirt, jacket, and sage cloak.

He shuddered as his mind recalled what happened after he accepted LadyDevimon's offer. What he had done, or rather what she had done with his body, was terrifying.

[Flashback]

As soon as he accepted her offer, a powerful dark aura exploded from his trapped body and blew away the rocks making up the Planetary Devastation that Pein had used. The sight before the orangette living puppet was quite unexpected.

It was still the Kyuubi Jinchuriki; however there were some notable changes. For starters, his left arm from the elbow down had become dark skinned with crimson red claws that stretched a foot each. Tatter black wings sprouted from his back, waving in the breeze as if more like scarves than wings. The last thing was his eyes, once bright blue like the ocean. Now, they were pure pools of red while a fanged grin stretched across his lips.

"So," he began, surprising Pein when a cruel feminine voice spoke alongside him, "you're the cause of this boy's rage, eh?" An insane giggle followed the question, putting Pein on edge. "I suppose I should thank you then, since you allowed me the chance to find a vessel with such a delectable darkness. Allow me to repay you…"

The blonde's body suddenly got swept away with the breeze and Pein barely shifted his body to the side to barely avoid the red claws of the possessed Uzumaki. All the while, the grin never left his whiskered face.

"…with your DEATH!"

What followed was an onslaught that Pein had never experience before. While not looking like wings, they still allowed Naruto's body to ride the wind at furious speeds while the wicked red claws emitted dark power. His Almighty Push was nearly bested by the sheer piercing power the claws had; not to mention the being that possessed the teen's body was able to use his Shadow Clone technique.

Dozens of flying, black winged blondes were trying to skewer the orangette's body with their claws while others fired sharp blades of pure darkness from a distance. The puppet body was being pushed to its limits in evading, jutsu, and counter attacks. However, it was no use since each clone defeated merely had two more take its place.

Unknown to the puppet, the real Naruto's body had sensed out the source of Pein's power, having felt the darkness surrounding it. Not too far from the village, but up on the mountainside, was a tree that was hollowed out with the entrance covered by a paper camouflage. The blonde easily swept the papers covering aside with his new claw before it was stabbed by a chakra rod fired from a chair-like contraption that a frail redheaded man used.

Without blinking or flinching, Naruto's right arm acted and sliced off the left claw with a wind enhanced kunai while red pools bore into rippled eyes. "Now, that wasn't nice. I just wanted to talk to you after all."

"We have nothing to say," replied the man, glaring at the possessed blonde. "You are not even in your right state of mind, Kyuubi Jinchuriki."

"True, but you cannot blame him for allowing me to control his body after everything you've done," casually retorted LadyDevimon as she called on Naruto's regenerative abilities to grow a fresh new left arm, though it was noticeably paler and had a scar that circled around where it was cut. "I offered him a means for retaliation and vindication against you for the pain you caused , and he took it. Now, I'm in control and I plan to keep my end of the bargain."

"What could the boy have offered you for such freedom, Kyuubi?" asked the bluenette woman with narrowed amber eyes. Both she and her redheaded partner were then surprised by the insane laughter that came from the blonde's lips.

"You honestly believe I am that overgrown pelt?!" asked the Uzumaki between laughs. "Please, that beast is still stuck in its little pet carrier! I am something far more menacing than that mere furball."

"Then what are you?" asked the redhead as a frown marred his features. 'Not good… Yahiko's body was just ripped apart by those clones.'

"I am a vessel of darkness who has found the most wonderful tool thanks to your actions," answered LadyDevimon. "And to completely make sure that he becomes mine, I have to finish my end of the deal…and end you both." The blonde's body shrugged uncaringly. "Nothing personal, humans; just business. Oh, and you won't need to worry about that rainy little village of yours...they're next. You destroyed his home and slaughtered his people, after all, and as they say: an eye for an eye. Every last living thing there will be slaughtered in revenge for your actions. Just wanted you to know that before you die."

"You wouldn't! My people and village are innocent!" Nagato cried, suddenly alarmed.

"Heh...so says the "God of Pain". Should have thought of the retaliation before attacking others, fool! Innocence never saves anyone."

The Jinchuriki then began to emit a tremendous level of darkness that came off him like a flickering dark violet flame. The flames began to burn the inside of the hollowed tree, trapping the two Akatsuki members while a Rasengan formed in Naruto's right hand. Inside the spinning chakra sphere, a dark flame began to grow before it encompassed the jutsu and kept growing in size. His body then held his right hand out with the palm and the growing ball of dark fire facing the duo.

When it was as large as a man, Naruto's face sported an insane and cruel grin. "Sayonara…" he whispered with much more of LadyDevimon's voice as the sphere erupted in a huge pillar of dark fire, catching the eyes of all of the survivors of Pein's onslaught of the village.

When the fire suddenly sucked in on itself, it left nothing but the charred skeletons of Nagato and Konan of the Hidden Rain.

Sneering, Naruto's body rose into the air and zoomed off, it's current controller aiming to make good on her word. As a devil, she never liked gods, angels, or their worshipers much anyways.

Halting in the air at reaching the destination, LadyDevimon sneered, time to see how much fun her new toy could let her have! Naruto's body created four shadow clones; then the five possessed beings pooled their energy, forming a massive, dark purple Rasengan-like orb of the fused energies of Naruto's chakra and LadyDevimon's dark power, surrounded by a series of white rings of chakra that orbited the main sphere. The rings then aligned into one disc-like shape around the orb, causing the rings to resemble planetary rings.

Taking all four of the clones to carry it as the original stood atop the attack they had made, they hovered over the center of the village, all eyes on them from the people below.

"People of The Village Hidden in The Rain," the original proclaimed, "Here! We present this to you all—a gift from the Devil created by the actions of the "God" you all worshiped!"

Then the clones vanished, letting the sphere drop.

As soon as it hit the ground, it suddenly expanded to fill the entirety of the Hidden Rain within the blink of an eye. Then, it rapidly shrank. It imploded on itself and letting off a massive explosion in the area, covering everything in fire as it destroyed all the buildings in seconds and incinerating every unfortunate soul who was caught in the eradication of life and mind numbing boom drowning out the screams as a massive, mushroom-shaped cloud covered everything.

After the blast faded, Naruto's body was nowhere to be seen and wouldn't be seen again.

Through the steamy haze of the evaporated water, the only thing visible where the Hidden Rain village had once been was a massive crater that went all the way down to the bedrock, already filling with rain.

[Flashback End]

His blue eyes were clenched shut as he tried to shake off the memory. He had killed those two; fellow students of his late master, and he'd destroyed an entire village and killed all its population. He felt sick as his stomach and heart felt stabbed.

"I-I'm a monster…" he whispered to himself as he hugged his knees and sobbed into them.

All the while, LadyDevimon watched with a blank face. As far as she was concerned, she couldn't care less about what had happened back in Naruto's world. She was more concerned with how she could use her newest find to her advantage. She knew that more and more Digimon were appearing in the human world she resided in, as well as a few of them being partnered with human Tamers. Her red eyes narrowed in thought before an idea came to her.

Naruto was easily capable of taking down Champion-level Digimon. Hell, she had no doubts that he could possibly stand on even ground with a Mega-level one. With someone like him beside her, she could take on those pathetic Deva Digimon that served the Digimon Sovereign.

However, a faint voice in her mind begged her to reconsider and let Naruto go. She mentally frowned before she squashed that traitorous side of her thoughts and resumed planning for how to use Naruto.

A slow, cruel grin grew on her face as she vanished in the shadows once again. Yes, Naruto would be a perfect weapon to help her take down the Sovereign and rule the DigiWorld. And when she took her place as the Digimon Queen, he would make a most wonderful…companion.

Her cruel giggle echoed across the abandoned church, sending a shiver down Naruto's spine.
