Ch. 1: Rebirth
She has been sharing this dark room with two people to her knowledge. One, to what she assumed was her twin. Another to something large, ominous, and fluffy. She was content to just float and exist, waiting for her time to leave her mother and breathe on her own.
Fate had other plans.
The only thing that Uzumaki Kachiki remembers about her birth was red. Everything was red. Hair, blood, fur, the sky. Sight, unlike hearing, is not developed in a newborn; Kachiki was only able to make out drastic changes in colour. She could tell you that her dad had light hair, and her mother dark in comparison, but while she couldn't see red, a little voice in her head purred in agreement. Deciding to trust in this voice, Kachiki decided she would be safest with her mother and her twin. Listening to her mother mumble in Japanese much as she did when the two were in the womb was comforting.
A pause in conversation and Kachiki blearily wakes up from nodding off to see someone leaning over her little family. Something warm and squishy is pushing against her face, and she flails her limbs to move them away. A low chuckle and Kachiki realizes that she knows this voice, that she often fell asleep to it while in her mother's womb. This must be her father. She allows him to pick her up.
A voice has informed her of this world, where magic is called chakra and has more restrictions. How the world works. While Kachiki may not want to become a shinobi, she realizes that is the best option. She has no taste for killing, even after many lives she's lived; she still finds that humans can surprise anyone. Kachiki still holds tight to the belief that humans want to be good, want to change the world. However, many seek that through suffering, vengeance, and hate. The chakra of her father, mother, and brother wash upon her like the sea, ebbing and flowing and oh so peaceful. Soon she finds herself falling asleep listening to it and her parent's talk.
"-named her after a boy?" Her father sounds resigned and amused as he places her back with her mother and brother.
"Of course! We thought it was both boys! Kachiki is a great name dattebane! A determined and unyielding spirit! Our baby won't know the meaning of giving up! She can do anything! If anyone says otherwise, they're gonna have to answer to me!" Minato is laughing in response and Kachiki knows that she will treasure this peaceful moment her entire life.
Seconds later, her perfect moment is ripped apart.
Someone has taken her from her father, ripped her out of her mother's sleeping hands. She was moved at such a high speed it was jarring; is this the power of shinobis? Kachiki starts to cry from the feeling.
"Give her back." She can hear the threat lacing her father's words. Her brave father, who is a raging ocean, only gripping onto his son and knowing that at least he is out of this mad man's grasp, It is as if his threat has turned tangible, and suddenly his calm chakra has become a malevolent storm, thick and choking her lungs as she struggles to breathe in air.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Minato." The voice sounds unbelievably smug. "Your precious daughter seems to be chakra sensitive." Suddenly the air lets up and she gasps in as much air as she can. "Now step away from your wife." The feeling of weightlessness, a sizzling sound, and moving at too high speeds happens in the matter of seconds.
"It's okay Kachiki, let's go put you with Naruto and tou-chan can go get kaa-chan, okay?" In one step she travels from outside to an enclosed room. It feels like she stepped through a hole and came out the other end. Not jarring or anything, just an odd but a pleasant sensation. She wouldn't mind doing that again. That type of travelling seems just fine to Kachiki. Much better than port keys or apparition.
She has no idea how long she has been in the bed with Naruto, her brother, before she feels her tou-chan and kaa-chan has come back. Kaa-chan looks much worse than she was; her chakra feels extremely drained. Kachiki falls asleep to her Kaa-chan and brother cuddling her.
oOo
She stirs when she hears her parents arguing. They need to seal the Kyuubi, but kaa-chan is upset at tou-chan for something. She's crying and grasping and tou-chan. Next thing she hears is a thump and her kaa-chan is picking up both of her children.
"Remember you two that kaa-chan loves you both, and eat your vegetables, and listen to your tou-chan even if he doesn't know what he is talking about sometimes, I want you to listen to him anyways and always tell him if something goes wrong. I have to go now, and seal the fox. I'm sorry to both of you, the fox has to be sealed in an Uzumaki, and you are the only two left. Kaa-chan isn't strong enough to hold it anymore. That's a pretty shitty legacy isn't it dattebane?" Kaa-chan laughs, but her laugh isn't happy, her chakra is crying now. Kachiki doesn't know how to make it better so she just listens to her kaa-chan's voice and feels her chakra. "Tou-chan forgets that I'm a seals mistress too and taught him the Hakke no Fuin Shiki. It's from my clan, our clan – the Uzumaki. I'm sorry I won't be able to teach you fuinjutsu, but your tou-chan can if you want to learn it." She places both Kachiki and Naruto down in the middle of candles and says "SEAL."
All Kachiki feels is painpainpain. All she hears is screaming. Her father has woken up; she's abruptly jarred before hearing the voice from before. His chakra is mixed, as if he was patched together from a bunch of different pieces. She dubs him Patches. It becomes hard to breathe again; she's feeling pressure from where her mom sealed the Kyuubi, and from all around her, suffocating her. Is she really going to die so soon into being reborn?!
"Maa, Minato, what did I tell you about the killing intent." Things become so quiet, there is no chakra trying to shove itself down her throat, in comparison the silence is deafening. "I think we best be off, you have your son and your Kyuubi and I'll have this beautiful baby girl and her Kyuubi. A shame you won't be able to see her grow up Minato." A scream of rage, denial, anger heralds her disappearance into the night with Patches.
