. Jinchuuriki drabble. All except Killerbee, Yugito, Gaara and Naruto are ocs. If you want them, just tell me.

Naruto.

Demon Fox.

Orphan.

Blonde brat.

Only names. Sticks and stones, the children say. Naruto just laughs and gets back up. He wipes the sweat from his brow and stands tall. He tells the world that he can take it. That nothing can destroy him. Nothing but nothing can tear him down.

-

Killerbee.

Weapon.

Tool.

Brother.

So much is expected. To be the perfect weapon, without losing himself to the voice in his head. To train until he can protect his village. To be a brother to the leader of their village. Knowing that someday Akatsuki will come to try and tear him apart.

-

Sumi.

Wanting to be a medic.

Turned away.

Broken.

She wants to heal, to fix the cracks that tore her world down. She sees them, sees gashes on souls and wishes that they could see past her demon to who she is underneath. See past the yellow eyes and seal tattooed onto her back. Sumi sees the fractures and it tears her inside.

-

Hi'on.

Fighter.

Child.

Demon.

He wishes that he knew more than the way of the blade. Wishes that he knew more then crimson blood, more then slaughter. More then tearing, ripping, hearing screams of pain and knowing he caused them. Knowing that this life started for him as soon as the demon was locked inside him. It tears him to pieces.

-

Runoko

Loner.

Early old.

Earlier buried.

Her grave is abandoned at the edge of town where wild beasts roam. Killed in no battle, dead of no illness. No family crying when they dropped her inside the hole and poured the dirt over. Death not even called death. Extermination. Not called an end. Called the start, of a girl who was torn to tatters.

-

Kenmaru.

Beast.

Animal.

Not even human.

He knows the feeling of outcast. Knows being chased from his village. Knows the people he loved throwing stones and sticks. The forest floor tearing at his bare feet. Scratching the abomination. Kenmaru knows being left behind and being torn to ribbons.

-

Three.

Three girls without names.

Three once beating hearts.

Three tails for three lost souls.

The Isonade carries the shadows of these children. Skeletons destroyed from the inside out, hearts ripped from moorings and drowned in a flood of hatred. Three who held back the tide for so long and were hated for it. Who were torn like ships in a storm.

-

Yugito.

The second sword.

The not-so-good.

Fiery and heartless.

Yugito knows what it is like to never be good enough. She keeps fighting because she dreams. She wants to be seen. She wants to shine. She wishes on every star and knows it comes to naught. She knows that she is fire and fire is deadly. They tear her down and burn the ashes.

-

Gaara.

Monster.

Unwanted.

Murderer.

Gaara's body lives but his soul has died. His body walks but his soul is tatters and locked in un-breaking chains. Gaara is a monster. Gaara is a demon. He knows. Gaara is broken and beaten and battered until there is nothing left. He is scarred past endurance. Unable to die and living out of habit alone. Gaara was torn apart until there was nothing left.

-

Nine tails. Nine monsters. Nine with the power to destroy worlds but without the power to save the innocent souls they are bound into.

Nine tears for broken children. Nine cries for shattered dreams.

Nine memories of haunted eyes, lost among the hate.

-

Nine monsters who are only children. Rising. From grave and squalor. Rising to power. Throwing off chains and flying.

Nine birds soaring away.
