Barca opened his eyes with a start. He blinked before shutting them again, to block out the torturous light. Opening them again he became aware of dozing red head on top of him. When his mind rebooted he lifted her off of him and got up. They were in an unfamiliar bedroom, alone. He stood up and walked out the room. The hall way was empty so he tried to contact Haze. "Haze, are you there?" "Thank the gods, Barca, come outside, the situation is deteriorating" He walked to window and looked outside. An angry mob had formed outside the door to the mansion and people were chanting for the death of the Demons. Barca left the mansion out one of the side doors and walked to the back of the mob. He pulled a hood over his face, drew his hands into his sleeves and wrapped his tail around one of his legs. He walked up to one of the chanting men and asked "what is going on?" the man without turning around said "we are demon hunting, a demon was sighted in here and we want to kill it."

Barca raised an eyebrow before saying "wouldn't it be better to leave them alone?" The man turned around and said "why, are you a demon lover?" Barca started to laugh and it reverberated around the area. He threw back his head, letting his hood fall back as well. The man gasped at the obviously demonic head before yelling "I FOUND HI…" he was interrupted by Barca's tail going through his head and expanding. Bits and pieces of head flew everywhere, and the crowd gasped and began to run towards him. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" reverberated through the air. It was shouted by an irate redhead who stood at the door. A Certain gay Uchiha saw her and shot a fire jutsu at her. Normally she would evade it and ram something, sharp and pointy up his ass, but she was weakened by the transformation. As it drew near she saw something dart in front of her. It threw itself at the fire ball and dissipated it with a flick of its tail.

It landed and Barca recognized it as Shiranui. He roared and in a few broken words said "Thou…shale…not…hurt…Kings…MATE" he threw him self at the villagers, roaring in battle lust. He dodged a pitch fork and tore a man's arm off, a kunai stabbed him in the arm but he continued on. By the time he reached Barca, he had been stabbed several times. Dozens of kunai peppered his body, and were slowly melting away. He began to say something to Barca but a familiar cry broke through the chaos. "HELP ME!" screamed Tayuya as she swallowed her pride, and was about to be beheaded. Barca saw her plight and went mind blank. It didn't matter if he was being attacked, it didn't matter if the rest of the tribe arrived, and the only thing that mattered was her.

Several images flashed through his mind. First his childhood, then his short career as a scientist on the ship Ghidra, his first meeting with Grid, his adoption into the Druganov, and finally, the pain of loss and tragedy. Barca Mildrubal of the Druganov clan began to scream. A man came forward, with pale eyes, and tried to stab him. In an instant his head, and his other half of his body, were cleaved from his body and thrown out of the way. He charged forward, killing anything in his way. Dozens died in an instant, but he couldn't go faster. He chanted in his mind "I, need to go faster, I need to go faster" his back started to ach but he ignored it. "I need speed I need speed. His back burst open and two sinewy wings burst out of the pool of acid. He lifted off, speeding towards the free falling blade of the axe. He shouted "EGO mos animadverto vos totus in abyssus" and then clenched his fist and two blades shot from the device he always wore on his wrist. He reached the man holding the axe and cocked his fist. He punched the axe away from Tayuya's head and landed on the mans bent back. He reached for the mans head and with a fluid motion, tore it clean off. He jumped for the man holding her down and tore out the man's throat. His tail stabbed many people even with out Barca noticing.

He reached the fallen Shiranui and roared his challenge. A single shinobi stepped from the crowd and answered the challenge. The Uchiha threw several shurican at the near dead Shiranui. Barca answered by picking up Shiranui and diving for his queen. When he reached her he placed the shocked Tayuya and the near dead Druganov next to her and said "please guard them, these mortals are MINE" he roared and shot towards Sasuke. Sasuke simply dived forward his leg calked to kick Barca in the head. Barca shot his hand out and grabbed the approaching limb. With a grunt, he tore it from the, now panicked, Uchiha. He screamed and fell to the ground sobbing in pain. Barca walked slowly over to him. Sasuke started to yell "how did I lose? I'm an Uchiha. I can't lose I'm an Uchi…" "Shut up" Barca said before kicking him. "I will not give you the amnesty of death, instead, I will continue your suffering, and you will die soon enough anyway."

Barca lifted him up by the hair and tore out his eyes. Several people gasped as he did so and began to charge him. Barca took the eyes, and did something horrible with them. He said, almost mockingly "these eyes were born with him and they shall die with them, He opened Sasuke's mouth and placed the eye's in them. Hitting a nerve, Sasuke was forced to swallow his own eyes. Barca dropped the writhing Sasuke and began to pace a circle around him. "LISTEN TO ME!" Barca shouted to the ever pissed off crowd "you are all gut wrenching, teat suckers. You cannot survive by your selves, instead, sucking off others around you. I have done nothing to you except a favor by plucking out his eyes.

You all are spine-less with out some simple eyesight. Get off my property and if I even smell you near here, I will personally rip vestri somes seorsum" Although he screamed the last part in a foreign language, they all got the message. They began to charge him once more, in a desperate attempt to kill the demon. Barca roared "in nomen of meus gens vos vadum totus intere" He then tore at the awaiting crowd. Barca tore through the crowd of people gathered, not a single thought to his well being. A man tried to stab him, only for his head to be cleaved from the other half of his body. Barca fought on, never looking behind him, and only killing the ones in front of him. He eventually reached Haze and the others, who were virtually untouched. Haze roared and shot towards the crowd along with the others. He sat down next to the shivering Tayuya, and asked "are you ok?" she nodded, albeit weakly, and said "y-y-yes." He rubbed her back, while whispering soft nothings into her ear. When she calmed down he asked her to stand up. She did so he began to check her for injuries. He checked he for a few minutes before asking "could you please unravel your tail?" she was confused, until he began to rub her shoulders, causing her tail to unravel from her leg. She turned to see it and gasped when it fully unraveled. She looked at her newly acquired claws and began to cry.

What she didn't expect was for Barca to embrace her softly, his tail wrapping around her, his hands slowly caressing her back. Behind them, the remaining people were being slowly collected by Chimera and the others. Releasing her, he draped his arm around her and they both walked over to the panting Shiranui. When the got there he knelt by him and said "you ok there buddy?" It was several minutes before Shiranui gasped out "I have been better" Barca nodded. And Shiranui continued "is your mate OK?" Barca looked at the beautiful red head beside him, and said "shaken but not injured" Shiranui gave a pitiful sound of gratitude, before spazzing out again. He coughed up several pints of acid and then said "am… I going to die…Barca?" Barca smiled then stood up. He began to shout to the heavens "filiolus supremus , audite meus votum , is res gave suus vita protego suus regina. Largior apon him veneratio of res a preatorian!" A surge of electricity flowed through the ground and hit the dying Shiranui. A primeval roar resounded across the area and Shiranui began to thrash his limbs.

His skin began to contort and rip. He grew several yards longer, with a terrible tear, and his skin exploded. Acid was sprayed everywhere, hitting the already suffering Sasuke, and shocking the already freaked out Tayuya. Out of the bright green mess, arose a large dark red figure. He stretched out his hands and admired his new body. He grew to the size of an elephant, his tail as long as a bus. His exoskeleton was a dark blue, similar to dried insect blood, with a single red stripe going down his back and tail. He shook himself free of the remaining exoskeleton, and stood. He turned to Tayuya and Barca and kneeled. "I pledge my loyalty to you, my king, and your Queen."

For the second time that day, Tayuya hit the ground in a full blown feint.

Later…

Tayuya awoke. The entire room was bathed in a bright blue hue, with no apparent source. Almost like he could read minds, Barca, who had just stepped in, said "Because of your courting ritual, you have been given the traits of the Druganov, come, we shall explain outside. She arose from the bed and silently followed Barca. She was too tired to even think to start swearing. As they reached the back of the house she looked around. Although it was near midnight, the bluish hued world around her was bustling with life. Barca took her hand and led her to an opening in the ground. It leads to a large system of tunnels going on to places unknown. They stopped in a large chamber with a huge rock stuck in the middle. She glanced round before Barca motioned for her to sit down and he began to talk

"What has happened is the greatest honor any human can receive; you have been adopted to the Druganov clan"

Tayuya snorted "What ever Fucker" Barca ignored her and continued

"Your previous body was…inefficient, and was, for a lack of a better term, altered to be more efficient."

Tayuya couldn't help but snort at Barca and once again he ignored her, and instead continued.

"Unlike your previous body, under your skin you have an exoskeleton, almost as hard as steel. You, obviously have a tail made up of pure exoskeleton, I would be careful with it, you could accidentally kill someone and never know. Your eyes are the gift of the gods. They are refined and able to see in all known and several unknown spectrums. If you were human" he said distastefully "this chamber would be pitch black and impossible to navigate in."

Tayuya glanced around in the, supposedly, pitch black room, funny, because to her it was as bright as a well lit field.

Barca continued "The clan has a doctrine that you MUST follow or you WILL be executed."

Tayuya, once again, snorted at Barca. Once again, he must have a shitty attention span, Barca ignored her and said "part one: Do not disgrace the Druganov, to do so will result it banishment from the clan. Part two: No act of serious aggression shall be taken out on any Druganov clan member; doing so shall be punished by ritualistic execution. Part Three: If anyone, ANYONE, kills a member of the Druganov, that person is forsaken, and marked for death on sight." Tayuya, surprisingly, did not snort but nodded her head lazily.

"And finally part five: Our mighty Hive in the heavens is to be recognized on occasions predated by the elder Hivemind."

Tayuya, surprise, surprise, snorted again only to be pushed against a wall, Barca's hand on her throat.

"listen you little shit" he started " you may not like it, but this clan is all both of us have, If it wasn't for our King in the sky, your mind would still be possessed by a fucking pedophile, so t least give him the respect he deserves, YOU GOT THAT?"

Tayuya nodded her head as quickly as she could, before being dropped to the ground coughing and sputtering. Motioning towards the darkness, she followed him, the rest of the clan waiting.

Thank you and goodnight
