Vincent, tengu heir in the tribe of Otsutsuki, sat on his throne staring at the chaos that spiraled in his left hand. He was dressed in a long red yukata, the India ink blackness of his hair cascading down to the floor around his throne. His eyes were those of a man haunted by his past. He stared deeply into the swirling black and red mass, "Chaos, what do I do? Orochimaru is knocking down my door almost every night.... I do not know how I can protect all that I love if I travel too far away things happen that I cannot prevent...", the king looked outside his window as the city burned, Orochimaru's troops were marching on his people with deadly effectiveness. "Mother Kaguya give me strength....", he silently prayed as he stood up, the energy in his hand whispering to him. It then vanished into his eyes as they glowed with what would one day become the sharingan. Quickly, he flashstepped into his bedchambers, picking up the long silver haired form of his sleeping son. Sephiroth turned in his embrace and flung his long spindly arms about his father's neck. "Father....I smell death", the wolf growled, chaos rumbled within Vincent and he nodded exiting the floating castle. "Death is on the horizon my son. Death surrounds us, Orochimaru wins this day however I will not let this go unavenged.". the younger male looked into the spiraling red eyes of his sire and reachng a long fingered slender hand to his cheek he kissed him in reassurance. "We will return as death then father, fear not. The snake's head will be sliced off and devoured..."





 



Orochimaru snarled as Kikyo pushed through the foliage that covered the large ancient door that was designed to fit the massive forms of the heavenly dogs. "What is the matter Lord Orochimaru?", she asked this as she turned to face him once the door was opened. "I detest that it has taken us this long to get here." is all he said as he moved past her and walked through the doorway. The sound howling could be heard as the elite royal guard of the dog demon kingdom walked over to the newcomers.

They were in human form, each with long silver or white hair that trailed down their backs in high ponytails. There were 8 in all and they glared at the snake demon, "We are Lord Sesshomaru's elite royal guard, if you seek him you will not find him here, he has sealed off the Foo Dog Palace, the Lady Kaguya has arrived from Heaven and they are not to be disturbed. In the-", the tallest of the guards, standing at 8 feet, the others stood between 6 to 7, was cut off. Orochimaru snapped "In the event of nothing! I will see him now! I do not care abot some imaginary woman!", Kikyo shook her head and placed a hand on Oro's arm to calm him down. Meanwhile Kabuto had vanished from the small group and came back shortly after the guards ushered them back to the gateway door. "I will be back. And when I return I will destroy you all!", he hissed, tongue shooting out to wrap around the shortest of the guards. Kikyo kept the other 7 at arrow point as Orochimaru's neck extended and he swallowed the screaming dog demon whole. "Let's go, and you better not try to follow.", Kabuto said this as Kikyo's spiritual pressure forced the guards back.



The 7 could do nothing but stare on in horror as they watched, the tallest of them roared in rage, the shortest of them had been his wife. She'd just given birth to their pup in a few weeks ago, he'd assumed that bringing her out on a routine border patrol would not be as bad seeing as times were peaceful now. His ears pinned back against his skull as he barked at the others, "Let us go back to our posts.", the second tallest guard protested, "But commander , what about-", the leader of the guards snarled at his subordinate as their apparent enemy made an exit and the door closed. "Silence yourself Tekka, no one can do anything about it now, Orihime is dead, but our pup lives and that is all that matters now. I go now to mourn, war is war my dogs, and the snake has declared as such seeing as our lord is busy with the Lady of Creation."





 



Itachi sat up in the chair he was seated in, glasses pushed up on his nose. He was going over several scrolls that had been brought to his attention and he was pouring himself into figuring out what they meant. Madara, annoyed that his fiancee was more engrossed in his work than himself wandered into his office. "Itaaaa...", came the whine, "Maaaadaaa...", came the chuckled response. Itachi turned around to face his mother, the taller of the two sitting down in front of him on a large cushion on the floor. "Are you feeling well mother?", he whispered, reaching down to run his hands through Madara's hair. "I would be feeling oh so much better if my workaholic son would pay attention to his poor mother whom he has so ungracefully left heavily pregnant with his child all alone in the cold of the living area.", Itachi chuckled again and pulled his elder into his lap, kissing him deeply.



"You have nothing to fear, I am here mother my dear", The son nuzzled his mother and laced their fingers together over the swell of their growing child.



"Itachi, what will you do when Sasuke comes for you? surely he will find out that Mikoto and Fugaku are not his real parents, I do not know why I allowed them to snatch him away from me....the sperm sample that your father left behind was all I had had left of him and I used it in creation of Sasuke....", Itachi shook his head at Madara's words.



"Father was dead by then, you could do nothing but play along with their wishes, you were still so weak from childbirth and I was just a newborn. we couldn't do anything....I am sorry mother, but Sasuke will never understand why I truly had to kill the clan, I did not even try to explain the real reasoning to him...I am afriad he will do all he can to kill me" the younger raven's voice grew low and sad as he spoke these words.



Madara turned to him, petting his cheek with an equally sad smile, "the clan did not approve of my relationship with your father, they claimed him a traitor to The Blood, saying that he sided with Orochimaru's experimentation on our people. Saying that he was trying to unify the demon clans, saying that he was trying to get humans and demons to be equals...Some claim Hashirama's mother was a human and his father was a grandchild of the gods. But I always believed he was just as fully of the Blood as the rest of us. He swept me off my feet and made me fall so deeply in love with him that I knew he was my life mate and no matter what the cost all that remained inside my heart was my love for him....yet...", he trailed off, overwhelmed by grief. "Yet father was murdered, murdered in cold blood before I was born, I never knew him, but his soul...." Itachi looked thoughtful for a moment as unknown to him a fire burned within his eyes.



"His soul is your soul, the moment he died his soul reincarnated into you my darling.", Madara said this softly as he kissed the side of his son's face.

"Is that why you love me so much my mother? Because I am literally my father's very soul?", Itachi frowned a bit at that.

"No, I love you because you are the most important person to me, you make me the happiest creature in all of existence and I would die if I ever had to be pulled away from your arms. I love you not just because of your father or the fact that you are our son, I love you for you Itachi-sama, my little lord future king of all demons..."



Itachi smiled widely kissing Madara back before placing a finger over his lips. "Shhhh mother dear, the walls have ears, the walls will hear...", activating the sharingan at the same time they both looked around the room, noticing the slight movement in the walls. "How...?" Madara began but before he could finish the side of the castle exploded. Itachi held him close as he stood up, rushing out of his office and flash stepping away from the swarm of armed men that had begun to pour in from the air ship.



He looked and saw, Orochimaru, yet his eyes were not his eyes but the eyes of a dog demon whose face could be seen screaming inside that of the snake demon's. The tengu-wolf demon snarled, he would stand and fight only after he'd gotten his mother to safety. Leaping through the explosions he landed on the stone of the outside of the castle, quickly kicking open a large slab that lay to his left he jumped down into the opening. Madara looked at him in terror as contractions struck him from the shock of the events around them. "Itachi....the pups!!" he buried his face in his son's chest as the younger demon spread his wings and flew out of the emergency exit. The scrolls Orochimaru had obviously come for where tucked away inside Itachi's robes. He set Madara down in a cave a ways away from the temple, covering the entrance with branches and leaves. Before he sealed it off he looked at his beloved.

"I will return, but if I do not, I love you, my mother, my Madara..." Madara reached out to Itachi screaming as the younger of the two flash stepped away in a plume of dark red flames, the cave being encased in the darkness of his protective jutsu. Itachi leaped back into the fray of his men battling with the snake's forces. He activated the mangekyou sharingan even as the sickness that had been ravengeing his body for years over took him due to the poisioned gas that Orochimaru had tossed into the castle. He stood up, the flames licking at his body in a similar fashion as they had done to his little brother all those years ago. However, all he could focus on or think of was, I cannot....let them reach mother...our child in his womb is what Orochimaru wants....these scrolls....are just what he needs to get it...I won't allow him to have either, even if this is the last time I see my Madara's face.....forgive me...my love... Itachi gathered himself and charged forward, sword drawn as he prepared to do battle with the snake. Orochimaru was wearing a protective eyegear that Kabuto had stolen from the dog demon kingdom, it prevented Itachi from using hs more potent attacks. He shook the blood from his mouth and leaped at Orochimaru whose tongue shot out like a bullet to meet the warrior.

Madara's screams echoed around the cave as he wept into the shadows once the labor had gone underway.
