Consequences 3

A few minutes earlier

Theon was getting bored by the monotonous nature of the battle. He is not disappointed in his men, however, he didn't like them being killed.

He amassed them for a reason and now he is not going to lose them for a problem child. He got enough of that from his troublesome partner.

"Bullet String," he said, pointing his index finger at the cat. A small bundle of strings came out from it as if he was firing a gun.

The string made its way towards an unsuspecting Sirius, who was planning his next move. But he moved in time to avoid it but didn't expect it to turn around.

He knew he fell for it. He braced himself for impact as his eyes showed it move backwards, he can see it coming for his head, he moved to the right, to avoid causing any fatal injury to his head, but the string has other plans.

It didn't hit his head, however, his left shoulder, arm and chest were fatally injured, with an ample amount of blood flowing from them. He stared at it in shock. Blood starter pouting out.

Soon, he lost enough blood and his eyes became blurry. Though he doesn't want to call for his father's help, it seems he doesn't have any other option now.

He saw the unmoving body of Loke and made his decision. His body started to smoke as his battle form faded, leaving an even more tired Sirius.

Mustering the rest of the strength which would make Naruto proud, he whispered the only word that came to his mind.

'T-ou-ou-sa-an,' he said hoarsely. The last thing he saw was a bright orange flash in front of him before his vision went blank.

He somehow felt being dragged, but couldn't make heads or tails about it in his weak state.

Theon was making plans to inform the blonde he wanted to kill when a yell interrupted his orders. He turned to see the very person he was planning to call standing in front of him looking nothing worse for wear.

"Sirius!" Yelled Naruto as he appeared where Sirius was and saw him being dragged towards someone. Leaving a trail of blood behind.

Seeing this, Theon quickly pulled the cat towards him, not giving Naruto any funny ideas to snatch the cat from him.

Naruto's blood boiled seeing Sirius bloody and battered. He couldn't control his magic at that movement and it lashed out on anything and everything that was around him.

"Naruto Uzumaki. It's nice to meet you in person. My name is Theon, by the way. I'm the one who arranged for all this," said the man, gesturing to their surroundings with a pleasant smile.

"If you remember, you killed so many of my men sometime last year and have been a constant menace for me." He continued, as Naruto stared at him impassively.

His blood boiling and screaming at him to tear the man limb to limb. A few feet from him, he saw another unconscious body he knew.

'Leo? What happened to him?' Thought Naruto. But before he could think, the man interrupted him again.

"I'm an ancient Demon, even the first of my kind. I always destroyed and terrorized the masses for fun. After so many years after my birth, I became the most feared Demon to ever live." He said proudly in that same pleasant tone.

"But that accursed bastard came and took everything I wanted from me. I always wanted to be the greatest Demon ever lived and strived so much to gain a reputation as such.

But one day, I was forcefully pulled from my comfy throne and thrown out as if unwanted, because of 'his' wretched experiments." He said in such disgust, anyone would have vomited by that.

But all Naruto was seeing was red. He injured his son and he can still see the blood coming off from his body. He was holding Sirius and Naruto wanted to get his son in his hands.

And so he moved. Faster than any of the people around him can see, he was upon the demon in an instant, but that was his greatest mistake and the demon somehow saw Naruto coming and smashed Sirius on the ground.

Naruto saw Sirius's body give an involuntary twitch and more blood came out, freezing him mid snatch.

"Ah, ah. No snatching, my friend. Your poor friend will be tortured brutally every time you try to take him," said Theon in sadistic glee.

"I don't want this to end this quickly, Naruto. After all, for all the loss you did to me, you don't want your precious friend to die, do you?" Asked Theon in a condescending tone and Naruto froze in place, cackled happily.

"No. Don't harm him. I'll do whatever you say," said Naruto, giving up, his shoulders sagging and his posture relaxing.

"That's much better. Where are we?"
