Prolog

I was running through the forest. It was dork out, 'Way past our bedtime I thought sarcastically'. Anyway, we were running from him, that asshole-traiter-sensei. He had already gotten to Chikoto, and now he was coming after us. So I kept running. Next to me was my best friend. We'd been through a lot even before we were put on this team.

But now's not the time for this. I'll have time to reminisce on the past later. Hopefully. No, I shouldn't think like that. I'll defiantly have time to think later.

Running next to me, I saw Sunshine stumble a little. My friend, I mean. That's not her real name, but it's what I call her. I don't blame her; it's been a long day. I'm almost out of energy myself, which is like, impossible. I never run out of energy, but I guess there's an exception to everything.

Like Sensei. How he suddenly turned on us. Chikoto was fighting him. I don't think he's alive anymore though… I mean, Chikoto is strong, but he's only a chuunin. Sensei is a jounin. Plus Sensei has his sword.

Damn sword. We wouldn't be in situation if we didn't make it. Me and Sunshine, I mean. She's not as good as me, but she's good enough to help. As long as I can remember I've been good at crafting stuff.

Once again though, now's not the time for this though, I hear footsteps. Either Sensei or Chikoto is catching up.

I glance over at Sunshine. She's running, but slowing down. She won't be able to last much longer. I take a deep breath and then slow to a stop.

She slows to a stop beside me. "Th-thanks," she manages to say. She leans over onto my shoulder for support. I don't blame her, I mean I want to collapse here and now, but I can't I have to stay awake a little bit longer. I have to confront Sensei if he's still alive.

We stopped next to the Shinobi Memorial. We're only a few feet away. I take this time to try and catch my breath; I'll need it, if I'm going to fight Sensei…

I hear a noise to my right. Both of us snap our heads up toward the noise; we're tired yes, but we're still fully-trained shinobi. Jounin too, just like Sensei.

We hold our breath, waiting to see who it is. I see a figure; it's up in a tree staring at us.

"C-come ou-out!" I manage to get out. Damn, I'm really out of breath.

I see the figure smile, an evil little smile that promises pain. Lots of it. My breath catches, and I feel my eyes start to water. The figure jumps out of the shadow of the trees and on to the ground in front of us, landing in a crouch.

He slowly stood up, with that evil little smile plastered to his face, and unsheathed his sword.

It was our Sensei, and he was trying to kill us.

"Wha-what did you d-do to Chi-chikoto," I manage through the tears that threaten to start.

"Chikoto? I killed the little demon lover." Sensei states coolly, still with that smile.

Beside me, Sunshine tightens her grip on my arm. I glance over and see that she is crying silently.

I look back at Sensei. This is the man that we look up to. He protected us. Made sure we were safe. He was our father figure of sorts. He didn't just protect us on missions, no he would stop by the house and made sure we ate the right kinds of foods. He would make sure we never slacked in our training. He comforted Sunshine when her mother passed away giving birth to her little sister. He would comfort me after my birthday when the glares, name-calling, and occasional chases were the worst.

At that moment, when I looked into Sensei's eyes, something in me snapped. I felt a warm, bubbling feeling spread through me. It started deep in my chakra coils. It felt foreign, but powerful. It was searing hot, but didn't burn. I've never used it before, but immediately I knew whose chakra it was.

Kyuubi. It didn't make sense. We had tried to get him to share his chakra with me before, but he had said something along the lines of, "Fuck off, why would I give you any of my chakra damn kit?"

I made a mental note to ask him later. Right now, I had a traitor to kill.

Kyuubi's chakra spread through my body, leaving a burning sensation all through my chakra coils. It burned, but it felt so good. I saw something in Sensei's eyes; it took me a minute to identify it. Fear.

I was told later by Sunshine that I truly looked terrifying. She said my eyes turned a deep red color, reminding her of blood. The birthmarks on my face, the fox-like whiskers, became more pronounced. They truly looked like the whiskers of a demon. My hair, naturally spiky and wild, became even more wild and unruly. My fingernail's extended slightly to give the appearance of claws. I couldn't wait to test them on Sensei. I felt my canines elongate and become sharper.

All in all, Sunshine said I looked feral.

"So the demon finally appears," Sensei said, the fear that was there before had been replaced with hatred. 'He got over that quickly' I thought.

In response I just growled a low, deep growl that came from deep inside me. I felt Sunshine shiver and slowly step toward the Memorial. 'Sorry Sunshine' I thought. I'm probably terrifying her. But I'll deal with that later. I turn my attention back to Sensei.

We lock eyes. It's completely silent. Nobody moved. Nobody noticed until now, but while all this was happening, storm clouds where forming, threatening to break. When the first drop of water fell on top of the Memorial; that was like the start signal. We both lunged forward, Sensei unsheathing his sword, and me raising my clawed hands.

We met in the middle of the field, Sensei swung his sword at my head, but I ducked under him and swiped at his legs.

He jumped up and flipped over me, landing and twirling around, swinging his sword. I tried to dodge, but I was too slow. It hit my right arm; there was a long gash across my right shoulder. Sensei smirked, thinking he got me, but I jumped back right as he swung for a finishing hit. I tried to move my arm to see if it could be any use. To my surprise, I could move it perfectly. I was only wearing a dark red t-shirt, so it was simple enough to see that under the blood that was there, there was no wound.

I think it surprised Sensei too because he had frozen with a funny expression on his face, like disbelief. Off to the side Sunshine was in the same condition. The cut was deep enough that I shouldn't be able to use my arm, but there wasn't even a scratch that I could see. Of course there was the blood there so I could be missing something but I pushed my shock aside and turned back toward Sensei.

Only to find he had snapped out of his confusion first and was running at me fast. He swung his sword at me but I dodged. I jumped up and decked him right in the middle of his face. I was slightly surprised when he flew halfway across the field. He landed on his back, and I swiped at his face. But he blocked with his sword.

Too bad I had forgotten a little bit of information that I probably should have remembered. I mean I created the sword, how could I forget that it could shoot fire?

Right when I remembered that particular piece of information, it was too late. I was already being blown away by a giant fire ball.

I was burned, badly. But like before, the wounds were rapidly healing, it helped that it was practically pouring rain by now. I guessed it had something to do with Kyuubi. My shirt was burned off, and my black shinobi pants had seen better days. Sensei was standing up by now, and his eyes trailed to my stomach. They were filled with hatred.

I winced, 'Does Sensei really hate me?'

"Ah, there it is. The seal that keeps you bound to your human form." Sensei says, his voice laced with hatred.

I take a quick glance at my stomach; I wince again, for there it is. The seal. On my stomach was a black swirl with symbols surrounding. Now, by no means am I a seal master, but even a civilian could recognize that it's a storage seal.

Sensei quickly closed the distance between us and placed his sword on my right shoulder, the sharp part of the sword facing my neck.

He was going to kill me. In that moment I knew it. Sensei really was going to kill me. 'Then he would go for Sunshine, because of me.' I thought.

He drew the sword back. I looked over toward Sunshine. She was frozen. She probably just realized the same thing I just did. That Sensei was serious. He was going to kill us.

Sensei swung his sword.

I felt something collide with me, and something warm splash my face. I hadn't realized that I closed my eyes until I had to open them.

"S-Su-Sunshine," I stuttered.

She had pushed me out of the way. She had gotten hit with the sword. She had saved me. And it had cost her her left arm. Where her arm used to be, was a bleeding stump.

"Baka Fox," she said, "Your just gonna let him kill us?" she attempted to smile, but it was more like a grimace of pain. Then she fell over. I couldn't tell if she was just unconscious or dead.

My eyes widened.

"HA! Look at that! She was a demon lover 'till the end, just like Chikoto! Now it's your turn demon!"

I growled. It wasn't like when I growled before, when it was more of a warning, this growl was one that could truly belong to a demon.

I lunged at Sensei, swinging at his face. I smirked in satisfaction as I felt my razor sharp claw connect with his face. My clawed hand had landed a hit across his nose, if he were to survive; he would forever have a scar.

He jumped toward me, swinging his sword. I dodged, and punched him in the gut. He flew backward and slammed into a tree. I didn't give him any time to recover, I jumped toward him and once again, my fist connected with his gut.

I was too focused on pounding him to realize that he raised his sword.

My fist was still buried in his gut and I said, "You're going to die Sensei." To add to the terror, my voice was slightly deeper and warped by Kyuubi's chakra.

I still hadn't realized that he raised his sword and it was now being swung at my right arm that was still connected to his gut.

I realized too late that the sword was falling. As in, my arm was already gone when I realized. I fell backward, and landed on the ground.

"He He, you were harder to kill that I thought," Sensei slowly stood and positioned his sword over my neck, the rain was stinging my eyes, but I saw Sensei's looming figure above me, "but I got you in the end."

He slightly raised his sword and swung it downward.

'I'm going to die' I thought.

Right before I woke up.
