Prologue
"Father please do not do this. Those leaf ninjas will not back down, it is a useless battle." Hitaru told her father Kyuubi.
"Hitaru, when you are older you will understand that I can't let them walk over me. I have to defend my land and the smaller demons on it." Kyuubi said.
"Even if they capture you and bind you inside of one of their own? Like they did Shukaku?" she asked.
"Yes. I will not run but you need to stay away from this. i will need you to take care of what is left of our clan. If I get captured you will be the only nine-tail fox left. You must stay away, no matter what you see." he said.
Hitaru stared at the large orange nine-tailed fox demon that which was her father. She understood why he was doing this, but not why he had to do this by himself.
"You must promise me." he said.
Kyuubi watched as several emotions flooded over the smaller fox face of his daughter. She was still young but she was brave and had a general idea of what she was going to say.
"I can't promise you that. I will never run when someone is in need of help. I can't." she said.
"It is time." Kyuubi said.
Hitaru said nothing as her father headed towards The Village Hidden in the Leaves. She waited several moments before she scampered after him; she didn't want him to be captured and wanted to help anyway that she could.
She could hear battle sound before she was even close to the battle. When she arrived she stayed hidden, her father was fighting and winning as far as she could tell, but to be sure she was staying right there.
The battle seemed to go on for hours even though it had in reality been several minutes. Hitaru began to worry when the Hokage disappeared.
"Where did he go?" she asked herself.
It was several minutes before he reappeared and he had an air of absolute confidence about him. That was a breaking point for her, no human would be that confident going into battle unless he had something that would end it that second. She dashed out into the battle to distract the Hokage from her father.
It was the only thing she could think of and it seemed to work. That was until the Hokage did Shadow Clone Jutsu to make clones of himself to let the original get away. She swatted them a discovered her error and chased after him. Immediately she was surrounded by Leaf Ninja and was being attacked from all angles.
"Father!" she yelled.
Hitaru was very powerful, her power rivaled even her fathers' but in this fight she lacked experience against the ninjas' new demon defense. It overwhelmed her and she couldn't get away.
Kyuubi saw his daughters' distress but couldn't help her, he was fighting with the Hokage and the confidence waffing off of him was irritating him. When Hitaru called for him the Hokage used the distraction to begin the binding process.
Kyuubi felt him self being pulled under someone elses' control but the fact Hitaru needed him gave him the strength to chant a transportation spell and fight the control long enough to get her out of harms' way.
Hitaru felt her body begin to disappear and at the last second before she was gone she looked at her father for the last time as the Hokage bound him. Then she was gone.
The transportation took only seconds and when she opened her eyes she was in an unfamiliar forest. She didn't care though. She was now alone and she didn't want to move, so she laid there and let herself transform back to her humanoid form. She didn't know what to do now, she was lost and nothing smelled familiar. Nothing felt familiar either.
"Isn't the saying stay where you are until someone comes and finds you?" she asked herself.
