A/N: This is a new story that popped in my head after having read a few chapters of a friend's story. I used to not be a big Gaara fan, but having read some of her work has changed my views on that. This is again, just an experiment. I may or may not continue this, it depends. Thank you OokamiLover19, thank you for such an amazing story.

RIN'S P.O.V

"Freak!"

"Demon!"

"Useless child!"

I heard all the voices of the villagers shout at me as I walked down the dirt road back to my hut. I ignored them like I have ever since my parents were killed by a band of thieves and my brother was announced dead in the war. But that's not the only thing that makes the villagers hate me. Ever since I was seven I've been possessed by a demon. It happened the day I was out gathering food for dinner and the day my parents were murdered.

I'd heard a scream and ran back to the hut to see what was going on. I saw my mother and father being attacked by men in short kimonos. One man held my father back while another pinned my mother to the ground. She met my eyes and screamed for me to run, but I couldn't move. I saw the man slice her throat and heard my father yelling at me to run away. The man holding my father killed him and then they started coming after me. That's when I ran.

I ran down the dirt road that cut through the middle of the village. I ran amongst the trees that gave me so much comfort, but eventually I tripped and the men were closing in on me. I'd crawled into the hallow of a nearby tree and they left once they couldn't find me. I didn't move for hours, my entire body felt numb. When dark fell and I thought it was safe I slowly ventured out of my hiding space and made my way back to the village. I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my face. That's when I heard it. The most calming voice I'd ever heard aside from that of my father's and brother's. I remember asking the voice who it was.

FLASHBACK

"W-Who's there? W-W-Who are you?"

I asked in a scared and shaky voice looking around at the forest, but not seeing anyone.

"Do you really want to know little one?"

The voice asked. It sounded closer and I nodded.

"Yes, I do."

I said and everything got quiet, not event he forest animals made a sound. Then suddenly a beautiful black and red furred fox entered the clearing I was standing it. It was huge, at least twice the size of a full grown oak and I couldn't help but shake with fear.

"Do not worry little on, I want to help you, I will not harm you."

The fox said looking me in the eyes. I noticed it had a pair of beautiful forest green eyes.

"H-Help me?"

I asked confused.

"Yes little one. I've watched you for a while now and I've grown quite fond of you."

The fox said as it started circling me, but I no longer felt frightened.

"You are hurt by what those thieves have taken from you, and now you are alone until your brother comes back."

The fox said and I nodded. It sat down and looked me straight in the eyes.

"I can see you want revenge little one, but you are too weak to do it on your own. Would you allow me to help you?"

The fox asked as it's two tails rose and fell behind it.

"I…..I want to be stronger. I don't want to be weak, please….help me."

I said and the fox nodded before standing up and jumping at me.

I'd expected pain, thinking the fox had attacked me, but when I felt nothing I looked around in surprise. The wolf was gone.

'Where did it-'

'I'm right here little one.'

The voice said and I looked around the clearing, but didn't see the beautiful fox anywhere.

'Where?'

I asked myself.

'I'm within you little one. You have granted me access to your body and that makes you a host. But do not fret little one, I will not harm you. From today on, your power is my power, and my power is yours.'

END FLASHBACK

I sighed as I entered my hut. It was on the outskirts of the village and extremely weather beaten. I laid down the grain I'd stolen from the village master's garden and sat down to rest. I closed my eyes and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
