Well thanks to all that reviewed/ favorite my story. To tell the truth I really didn't think anyone would like it. Now with the chapter notes out of the way, onto the story!

Chapter 7: Releasing the Demons.

Yeyinde turned to face the monster. Rain beat down on them in icy torrents, chilling the warrior.

He was used to much warmer climates.

He lashed out his whip but the alien stuck its tail and the bladed weapon simply wrapped around it. Then the beast flicked the object aside, like a child discarding a broken toy.

The warrior grabbed the disc holstered on his left side. The round, sharp disc hummed and tiny yellow lights glowed on its alien surfaced. The hunter hurled the weapon and it sailed like an energy propelled discus.

But the predalien ducked and the disc sailed into the night. The monster growled.

Naruto and the others stood, watching the demons square off when a bright yellow flash tore sliced into Shizune.

What looked like a large metal disc came sailing out of nowhere and slashed her side. It was a mere glancing blow as they watched the weapon boomerang back to the warrior.

Tsunade cried out, falling to her knees. Other than Naruto, Shizune had been through a lot with Tsunade. They were very good friends and she would be damned if she just let her die. The wound was deep but the blade had only really nicked her. There was blood pouring out and it ran with the rain, turning the crystal water into a bloody stream.

"Sakura, come help me! She's losing a lot of blood."

Ton-ton, Shizune's best companion oinked in fear.

"Naruto, we're going to try to save her, but don't let any of those damned things get near us!" called Sakura, over the howls of the rain.

"Right!" he said, holding up the predator's gun.

The predalien lunged and knocked Yeyinde down. As soon as the hunter had made contact with the freezing water he was back on his feet- but not by his own power.

The monster had lifted him with one arm and set him on his feet- only to slap him back down.

The alien kicked him, sending the yautja flying into a human device on the roof. It was dented and the alien slithered over.

The warrior suddenly came up, hard and fast to surprise his much larger foe. The creature rolled back to avoid the attack but Yeyinde landed right on it and began to slash with his wrist blades.

The predalien screamed and turned left and right, trying to dislodge the Warrior on its back. But the hunter held firm, slashing into the beast again and again, each cut bringing the Yautja satisfaction as the green acid mingled with the rain water.

Then the monster rolled and threw the yautja off. Now it was the monster's turn.

The predalien leapt, landing on the yautja. Yeyinde roared and grabbed the thing by the throat and held its snapping, drooling mandibled face away. He then slammed his armored fist into the side of the monster's head knocking it way.

The predalien backed up, sizing up its enemy. She lowered her armored, dreadlocked head to view her prey easier.

After this creature fell, her mind told her, this planet would be her hive, her home.

The predalien swung her large, armored tail and batted the predator to the wet concrete. Yeyinde rolled slightly, to avoid most of the damage.

He rose, turning about. The monster was gone! Then came a low rumble, like a distance crack of thunder, but it was closer….

Sasuke and his remaining ninja follow the path of alien secretions. They lead to a stair well that lead up and water was pouring down.

"Someone else is here…" said Sasuke ominously.

"Dam-AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh!" screamed one of the others.

"What the FUCK?" roared Sasuke, turning around quickly.

An adjacent hallway was the maternity ward. The windows were splattered with blood.

"That… is just wrong." Said one of the men, looking through a window.

"That is of no concern." Said Sasuke coldly.

"Yeah, well you know what-" said Hayate Hayabusa, holding a katana out.

Sasuke snickered.

He then turned, eyes blood red, the Sharingan active.

"You will not talk to your master that way, whelp. Unless you have a death wish."

Hayate shrank back, looking a lot less bold now.

"R-right, Master Sasuke."

"That's better. Now let's go kick some ass."

Tsunade was had stopped the bleeding. That was good, a start at least. Now it was up to Shizune and her will to live.

Naruto fired, another alien life form down for the count. Sakura stood ready but the weapon seemed strange in her hands, as if it didn't below there.

The entire length of the spear carried strange ruins, tiny figures engaged in combat along with other ones. It was also very odd that a spear that was easily eight feet long weighed as much as a kuani knife.

Yeyinde turned and was lashed by his foe's tail. The warrior was jerked violently off his feet and landed on the hard, cold concrete about ten feet away.

The rough landing smashed his left control panel in- now if he was in dire straits, he couldn't activate his bomb. The hunter felt weak and battered. His bright, yellow blood glowed like a beacon in the pitch black of night.

There was one honorable option: Fight until one is dead.

Yeyinde pulled the cords off the side of his cracked, dented helmet. He would fight this foe at the same level, hand to hand, mano-a-mano.

He dropped his mask. His face was a criss-cross of battle scars and war wounds. His left eye was damaged many years ago, by an alien during his blooding hunt. His face was pitted and dented from hundreds of years of battle with lethal creatures large and small. The warrior threw his head back and roared at the behemoth before him

To his surprise so did it. The creatures were a mirror image of each other.

They charged.

Sasuke and his group were about midway up the stairs when there was a moaning sound to their left.

He looked. Ten Ten was plastered to the wall with a strange, black-green substance covered in slime. Her brown eyes were wide with fear and her breathing rapid.

"What the Fuck?" said Sasuke quietly, inching forward.

There was a sickening crunch and the slimy substance on her chest began to bulge, like a bony fist was trying to punch its way through. The woman screamed and blood sprayed out in a geyser.

Sasuke recoiled but not in fear. It was disgust that drove him back.

"So these are the things that took my Karin from me…" Sasuke thought, drawing his blade.

Suddenly Ten Ten's rib cage exploded, a small serpentine head bursting out. The beast dripped gore and squealed as if signifying its birth to the world.

Sasuke was quick and lobbed its head off of its serpent-like body. To his shock the blade began to burn and melt. The damn things blood was acid!

He dropped the sword to the resin covered floor and turned.

"Now we're going to end this. Quickly, up the stairs." He said, softly.

They followed without question.

The monsters slammed against each other with all the raw power they could muster. Yeyinde grabbed the beast's shoulders and pushed but the creature had genetic superiority on its side. The alien's strength was passed down through their genes. The yautja had to learn to fight and to be warriors. They had to practice for years to be accepted into the clan's ranks.

The predalien force him onto his back and roared into his face, drooling on him. The predator growled back and kicked the monster in the chest, lifting it bodily off of him.

The beast snarled and made a savage slash at the warrior but he rolled aside and the monster smashed a large section of roof in.

It turned its wicked head and snarled over the boom of thunder. Lighting cracked and Yeyinde saw it: The predalien had a clear if fogy dome on the front of its head. In the doom was a formation that resembled a predator skull.

Yeyinde roared and leapt to his feet, ready to fight. A fight that the predalien was all too willing to give.

"Naruto, Sakura! Fall in." said Tsunade, crouched next to Shizune and her pig.

"Yes, Tsunade?"

"Okay. We have every reason to believe that we aren't going to make it. A lot of people will be gone by morning."

"So, What? There's no hope? And even if we are going to die, I'd much rather die fighting than die hiding." Said Naruto, lifting his weapon.

"Naruto…" said Sakura.

"Yes, Sakura?"

"Look." She said, pointing to the door on the roof that they came through.

It was Sasuke and several other ninja.

"Great. Things go from bad to worse." Said Tsunade.

"If that's even possible." Said Sakura, as a loud, high-pitched roared came from the battle ground beyond them.

To the humans watching, one thing was obvious: the warrior was matched by the monster.

It seemed that the hunter was far more skilled but less powerful in physical strength.

Then it hit Sasuke: Genetic mods.

It was something that Orochimaru had been working on before Sasuke killed him. The mods would cause the user to be faster, stronger and less dependent on chakra. It would be brilliant if it worked. Maybe if he could capture the warrior creature he could make the mods work… and exact his revenge on those sick beings that had taken Karin.

He just had to wait a little longer….

The predalien's tail lashed out but Yeyinde caught it with his left hand and slashed it with the blades on his right.

The monster roared and slashed at the warrior. Four bright, glowing wounds opened up on Yeyinde's chest. The warrior growled in pain but fought through it. He was a warrior. He did not quit, no matter what. He never went back on what he said. He would end this, to bring the spirits of his clan brothers to rest.

Yeyinde roared in defiance and kicked the predalien in the side of the head and he ducked another blow from its clawed hands.

He then swung at it, the spikes on his left hand slicing small trenches on its throat. The creature wailed as he knocked its legs from out under it. The predalien screamed and fell.

Yeyinde kicked it in the head and roared as he brought the cold steel down, severing its head from its body in a gush of acid blood and a sickening crack.

The predator breathed heavily. He coughed and more blood stained his armor.

He fell to the ground, wounded and exhausted. Then the shadows began to descend.

The warrior lay on his belly and struggled to rise when he heard a human yell: "Get it! Don't let it get away!"

Six humans wrapped chains around his forearms, to his legs and chest to prevent his escape.

A bold human with dark hair walked arrogantly forward, holding his mask.

Sasuke stood in front of the struggling monster. After a few moments it stopped, as if it was too tired to fight its bonds.

He examined its helmet, tracing a rune burned into the forehead. Then he walked right up in its face, to get a better look at it.

"What the hell are you?" he said looking into the creature's bright yellow eyes.

Yeyinde looked at the human, then at his captors. He growled alittle. The rain was slowing, the thunder less pronounced. The storm was ending.

Naruto and the others watched, unsure of what to do. Sasuke was there so should they stop him? Could they stop him? And what about the warrior? What if it came after them? They decided to watch and wait…

Sasuke held the helmet just inches from the warrior's face.

"You're ass is mine now, you ugly mother fucker."

That's when the alien hunter broke into action.

Yeyinde suddenly jerked the chains on his arms violently, pulling the men on them along too. He stepped on one's head with a splattering noise as he turned and kicked another in the ribs, breaking them.

The others scream and pulled, trying to overpower the warrior. With his wrist blades he cut the chains and turned, roaring mandibles spreading in righteous anger. The men fled.

But one had bolted with his helmet.

Sasuke ran. He couldn't beat this thing, wounded as it was. Then he was caught from behind.

Yeyinde lifted him easily off the ground and pitched the human aside. It could wait, for now. He then picked up his helmet and brushed it off before securing it to his face will a hiss of vacuum sealed gasses.

That's when a strangle light show appeared from the human it had floored…

Sasuke decided to make one last stand. He was going to hit it with chidori, one thousand birds. He came up fast, hoping to take it by surprise…

The human came up with a powerful energy in his hand. The warrior had hunted these things before and caught it by its forearm, just before the elbow.

Naruto and the others watched, dumbfounded.

The monster had caught Sasuke, mid chidori.

Yeyinde twisted the imposing human's arm until it crunched loudly and the creature's face filled with pain and hate. Then he twisted some more…

Sasuke cried out in pain as he arm was twisted free of his body by the warrior. Blood ran into the water around them and Sasuke stumble and fell on his back. He looked at the bloody stump, marveling at the twisted and broken bones and loose, dead flesh.

The creature, in its own guttural voice then repeated what he had said earlier: "What the hell are you?"

Sasuke's face showed fear for the first time in many years as the thing lifted him up by the throat with one, massive, clawed hand.

It drew back and Sasuke's skull exploded into mush and skull bits.

The warrior dropped the corpse to the ground. This one was not worthy of a trophy there for he did not claim the human's skull. He had ran from battle while his friends had died fighting. They had honor. They died a warrior's death.

Then he turned, spotting several humans fighting the last of the Xenomorph creatures.

There were a dozen or so more of the creatures, making one, last disparate attempt to gain a foot hold here. Leaderless they posed little threat to a trained warrior.

But to the noble humans making their final stand…

Naruto fired another alien down. Sakura spun the alien weapon in her hands and slammed it down on top of one's head, crushing it.

Then the warrior creature leapt down and slashed out, cutting ones throat as he spun and gracefully took the spear from Sakura.

She gasped at how such a giant and deadly creature could be so delicate and fast. Then Naruto dropped the weapon he was holding. If the thing wanted its weapons back and was willing to kill for its equipment, why get in its way?

The Predator scooped up the pistol and fired into the pack as he stabbed another. The humans would not die today. They had showed much valor on the field of battle today and it wouldn't be honorable to slay them.

Not that he had to like it.

He spun, ducked and thrusted, his motions becoming faster until he and his prey were locked in the death dance. No alien come stand before this warrior. He slashed and fired, killing them fast and effective.

Yeyinde then stopped. The last of the aliens lay, dead or dying as they melted threw the roof of the human construct.

He turned to see the humans looking at him. He cocked his head.

Then, one by one the humans moved on, leaping from building to building.

Tsunade had Shizune slung over her shoulder. Sakura was holding Ton-Ton and tears ran down her face. Naruto reached out and touched her shoulder. It had been a hard night for all of them.

But it was the loss of Sasuke that really shook them. He may have tried to kill them both several times but he was still their team mate. He was an irreplaceable loss in both of their hearts.

As they moved away from the hospital, an explosion rocked them.

"What the hell?" said Naruto, looking over his shoulder.

It was no normal explosion that destroyed the hospital. The clan had caught Yeyinde's signal several hours before and sent in a small stealth craft piloted by Dre-Nath, one of Yeyinde's old friends.

As Yeyinde sat in the med bay he could not help but wonder what would become of the people of this place… If there were any Xenomorphs left.

In the days that passed, it turned out many were dead or missing. Shikamaru, Kiba, Akamaru and Hinata were confirmed K.I.A's while Ten Ten and Ino were M.I.A's. There were also about a dozen villagers missing.

Sakura took the death of her mother hard. Naruto understood and tried to give her as much space as possible to mourn the death of the only parent Sakura ever knew.

The morning after the funeral she awoke to the sound of someone cooking. Naruto never cooked unless he wanted to cheer her up or it was a special occasion.

Sakura smiled alittle and got out of bed.

Naruto had gone the whole nine yards to make this breakfast perfect: waffles (even if slightly burnt) pancakes, bacon eggs…

And what had she done to deserve this royal treatment? Even Sakura couldn't figure that one out. She might be in love with the village idiot, but Naruto was her idiot.

Sakura knew he would never fail her, even if it cost her life. She would do the same for him.

"Naruto! You didn't have to do all of this for me!" she said, sitting next to him, putting an arm around his shoulders.

"Well, I figured you had a hard enough week so I decied to do somthing special for you."

"Thank you, Naruto."

"Don't that me just yet-" he said and started fiddling around in his pockets.

"Sakura Haruno..." Naruto said slowly, seriously holding out a little, black box.

"Yes?" she answered, small tears forming at the corners of her teal eyes.

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes, Naruto, Yes!" Sakura practicly screamed and she pulled him close to her. They locked eyes and they kissed deeply, the pair bathed in the angery, red glow of the rising sun.

The End.

Well, that's it. The End of this story. If you want a part 2 (Right now I have no plans for one) leave a review telling me so. But up next is a Halo fanfic that's a little on the lighter side. Thanks any and all who reveiwed. It really helps to know someones reading your story.

Also: Yeah I know the story's short. Deal with it. Good Night.
