Chapter One

...

...

Pain, she was in deep pain. Nii Yugito can't help but let the silver tears from her eyes drip like rainwater over her pale face. Her hand twitched and she cried even more as the pain increased on her arms. She felt weak, so weak and useless than she ever felt in her entire life. Her head is bowed and her long blonde hair covered her weeping face. The sockets on her arms and her shoulder burned as she hung there limp like a rag doll. The deep gouging wounds left behind on her body by her enemy's scythe throbbed like hell and she wanted to vomit as she smelt her own dried blood.

She had been defeated easily by those two quite easily that she felt really insulted. She had used her Bijuu form and no matter what any ninja said. She fought with all she had. Still, no matter what she could do, those two simply won't die. Especially the one with the scythe which she guessed had the name of Hidan. She had done her best to get rid of them. She had scratched him to death, buried him under rubble, slammed him again and again that a normal person would have been a bloody pulp by now, charging Bijuu flames at him, heck she even tried to swallow him alive only for him to cut out from her stomach. The man just won't die.

All that time as she tried to tear them to pieces, they simply hacked her again with the scythe and some kind of techniques she had not seen before slowly and surely weakening her chakra armor little by little. Of course she knew what the end result would be if she allowed it to continue. Thus she had played for the last gamble as she charged for her last ditch attempt to get rid of them. She had accidentally stumbled on this technique when she is training with her beast form. In theory it charges all of the remaining chakra of her Bijuu at one solid sphere before releasing it. The risk however is that she would use up all her Tailed chakra and it would take a long time for her to recover. The Nanibi after all as strong as it is was not as powerful as the other Bijuu.

Of course as she hang here uselessly to a wall right now, that plan obviously went up in flames. Not that she caused massive damage though. The one with the scythe screamed like a little girl as he was hit by the charged chakra. The one with the mask simply dodged in a speed that Yugito had never seen before. She had expected the scythe guy to be dead by now as she felt the power leave her as he simply lay there useless. What she didn't expect was the sudden pain in her neck as the one called Kazuku lifted her up in the air and started slamming her to the wall making her scream as she heard her back crack. He pinned her then to the wall by her hands letting her own blood flow on her arms as she simply lay chakra exhausted there. The slashing then came all over her now exposed body and Yugito was sure her screaming would be heard all the way to the mountains.

Now she was here trying to keep her breathing in control unwilling to let these two know that she is beaten and had finally lost the will to fight.

"I'm sorry kitten," Nibi's voice echoed in her head making Yugito sweatdrop hearing her friend sound so tired. It was obvious she had drained herself of every single bit of chakra she could to help Yugito on her fight. Yugito knew that Nanibi always had confidence issues and the fight here today would make it plummet even more assuming they be alive after this.

"It's alright Nibi," mumbled Yugito trying not to move due to her abused palms. "We had a good run you and I,"

"Ow that hurts!" the immortal's voice echoed like a thunderstorm on Yugito's ears and her heart sank realizing that the one called Hidan even survived her last ditch attack. "Thank Jashin-sama or else I would have been vaporized. Did you got the Jinchuuriki?"

"Hn," the emotionless voice of Kazuku replied simply and Yugito didn't dare to look up as she heard the sound of footsteps coming closer to her suspended form.

"Aww such a waste to let a beauty like this rot away," he mused and it took all of the Kumo nin's discipline to continue acting fainted as her head was forced to look up. "Yes, it would be such a waste.

Yugito nearly lost all composure as she found her mouth pried open and a slimy tongue was inserted exploring the caverns of her mouth, intertwining with her own. She did her best not to gag as it tasted her before running over the rooms of her mouth letting its dark smell permanent itself with her own. All that time Yugito didn't open her eyes though a singer tear fell from the violation.

"Enough Hidan!" growled Kazuku. "Leader-sama is expecting us and you're antics are making us late,"

The sound of a popping sound are heard and Yugito let off the breath of relief she had as Hidan retracted his mouth from hers. She immediately wanted to wretch as the taste remained in her mouth.

"You're no fun at all Kazuku," said the person holding her in irritation. "Leader-sama expected us in five hours. We beat this bitch in two, surely we can spend one hour doing what we want with her,"

"Tsk, do what you want," growled Kazuku. "But one hour only, after that we'll take her back no questions asked,"

"Sure sure whatever. You'll watch here? You could enjoy watching the act?"

"Tsk, I'll stay at the trees," Kazuku simply replied before Yugito heard the sound of fading footsteps.

"Finally some time alone," the man holding her mumbled to himself and before Yugito could process what the heck did he mean by act, she can't help the scream that left her lips as the man pinched her nipple through her shirt hard enough that Yugito was sure it was damaged.

Her eyes opened and she shuddered in fear seeing the looming crazy face of the man leering down at her like a piece of meat ready to be taken.

"Pssht. I want you awake to hear your screams," the man in front of her grinned twisting the nipple even more that resulted another wail from the blonde ninja. "I'm going to fuck you silly little girl. And before you are sacrificed to Jashin-sama I'll make you scream my name Kumo's sex kitten,"

Yugito remained still as she was reminded what she was ever since her fifteenth birthday. She was Kumo's sex kitten, the feline bitch, the ninja whore which had been fucked and tasted by all the male population of Kumo. Still she barely recognized Hidan who are now ripping the clothes covering her chest and her pants are ripped by his frantic hands. She did not move as he then squeezed her breast which is bigger than average but not big enough that it will be a problem for her ninja way of life. Cold air seeped through her pale skin and Yugito clenched her body though it sent another spasm of pain as her body had goose bumps.

She gasped though as he squeezed her breasts tighter that she was sure it would be blue by now with the way it was choked. However a shrill scream left her mouth when something yanked her nipple hard leaving no pleasure but instead one full of pain. She knew Hidan was relishing from her pain. What happened next was the most painful she ever had the shame to witness.

Her right leg is pulled up giving access to her womanhood before something foreign was shoved inside her forcefully and she was barely halfway through her scream when she felt teeth bite her breast harshly that it drew blood. The pumping then started and Yugito don't know how much she had screamed, begged and cried as he had sex with her like a maniac while at the same time bloodying her entire front body as he bit her all over. She don't know how long it lasted, he was laughing as she begged to stop as he forced himself on her womb letting her spill her juices at the stimulation it had again and again before it turned to blood as her vaginal walls can't handle the stimulation any longer. She had been screaming and crying as each pump came a loud squelch and more tissue and blood came. Her hands trembled and her palms are bleeding as it was pinned by a kunai while her body bucked and bobbed.

"Scream my name!" Hidan finally roared as he filled her making her whimper one last time at the pain it caused. but Yugito didn't comply. She is tired, she's so tired that she wanted to die. Her body is throbbing with her blood and sweat and she can smell her sweet aroma that spilled on the floor. She had no idea how long she had been pumped and filled. Hidan said to his partner that it will be an hour but it felt like a day. Her insides throbbed in pain unbearable. Her musings however was broken when she felt his finger enter her asshole making Yugito's tired eyes pop open as she realized what he is going to do.

"Please, don't do it," croaked Yugito weakly as her finger went even further distending the entrance to her bowels. "I won't survive,"

A large slap followed before a nibble was placed on her long neck like a lover only would when they are in bed. "Don't worry little Jinchurikki," he pinched her damaged nipple making Yugito whimper. We're going all the way from here on now,"

"No, stop please," croaked Yugito even more weakly as he added another finger before pushing deeper into her. Already the spasms of pain are starting. "It'll never fit,"

"I know it won't," chuckled the madman sitting her on his lap though her hands was still pinned above the wall.

Yugito trembled as she felt his entrance poking over her asshole. She had been sodomized already many times by the villagers on her village but the medics everyday repaired the damage making her brand new. However that means she felt the pain again and again every time someone had sex with her on that part of her anatomy.

"Here we go!" yelled the Akatsuki member before dropping her.

Yugito steeled herself from the pain but she can't help the agonized howl that left her lips as she felt him enter her ass and destroy her innards. Tears fell from her eyes while blood pooled on her ruined ass. He started to move and thrust distending her bowels even more that resulted to more agonized screams. Yugito had no sense anymore thanks to the pain she is forced to endure.

She was on her tenth howl of agony from the thrusts before something sounded out of place from the clearing other than her agonized yelps and the Akatsuki's laughing.

"Mokuton: Furangui Ken!" (Wood Style: Flying Sword) There was the sound of something swirling like a baton on the air and before Yugito could identify what it was, there was a squelching sound and something round and unique thudded to her shoulder then to the ground cursing and shouting profanities.

She blinked twice to make sure her eyes are not deceiving her when she saw Hidan's head still alive cursing. A scream of fear left her lips as she felt the body fucking her ass stumble downward leaving her still suspended on the stone wall pinned with blood, juices and sweat covering her.

"Mokuton: Damudo no Shiru!" (Wood Style: Seal of the Damned) the voice called again and she watched in awe as a wooden coffin encircled Hidan's body while his head screamed profanities. A blue light encircled it before retracting back to the ground.

Yugito sighed in relief. Finally it was over. She knew she would die. Her womb was damaged badly and also her bowels by the insane raping of the Akatsuki. Still, she did not regret finally passing away. All her life, all she knew was sex and rape thanks to the people's misguided dogma. Many thought she liked being Kumo's sex kitten, it was the opposite that is true. She never wanted it,they just forced themselves on her and she can do nothing about it.

She slowly closed her eyes and the last thing she saw was the afternoon sun going down and a person walking towards her. She wondered if he would take her too, all men she had met had tried after all, a silver tear fell from the Kumo nin's eyes. It was such a sham that even in dying, her dead body was still being used for pleasure. After that Yugito finally slumbered into darkness.

...

...

...

They say that most people travel the world with their nose. Some even agreed that when a person is hungry, his or her nose could prove even to be better than their eyes when it comes to finding something. For Yugito, this has proven very effective.

The first thing that her senses registered was the faint aromatic order that is wafting from somewhere. Her nose twitched once...then twice, she can't help but sniff again. It was still there, the odor of what unmistakably was rabbit stew. Yugito's mouth watered. Now that she thought about it, she haven't eaten before the Akatsuki showed up.

The Akatsuki...Yugito's eyes snapped open in alarm and the first thing she noticed is that she is staring at clear blue skies on a canopy of wood. She winced at the sudden influx of light and involuntarily her hands move to cover her eyes.

"Wait...hand?" Artemis thought looking at her right hand which is bound by bandages. Last time she remembered, she is pinned in the wall by a kunai. Questions whirred on her brain. There is something missing here that she is not getting. If the Akatsuki got her, why is her hand bandaged and why is she not bound or chained up. Latest reports say that the Akatsuki doesn't really care what state is the Jinchurikki they captured as long as they are alive.

"What is going on?" mumbled Yugito skimming through her memories about what happened. She immediately recalled how she was raped by that insane person and she can't stop the nausea that rose on her gut as she recalled his tongue exploring her own, claiming her. She choked before vomiting to her side.

"Easy, you're awake now. Good," a voice from the front spoke making Yugito stiffen as the voice sounded male.

Slowly sitting up, Yugito saw a man bent over a pot of stew sitting on a log. He is incredibly handsome in her opinion. He had blonde hair that are spiking up in a way of the late Yondaime of Konoha. Faint whisker marks adorned his cheeks making her wonder if they are birth marks or scratch marks. He is wearing a black shirt over a worn out konoha chuunin vest. Ninja pants adorned his legs and a pair of sandals finished his attire. Cerulean blue eyes stared at her and the Nibi Jinchurikki can't help but feel as if her soul was bared at that moment. However she paled when she saw the other parts of his attire. A red jacket with black flames as design and instead of a forehead protector, he is wearing a sash with a red swirl at the middle.

She can't stop the fear that suddenly blossomed on her chest terribly. Most of the shinobi of the five great ninja villages were aware of this person after all. The legendary fox sage, he is said to have rose out of nowhere three years after the attack of Suna and Oto at the Hidden Village of the Leaves during the Chuunin exams when it was held there. Many varied reports came that he is a man of untold power having the bloodline power of Hashirama Senju pertaining the wood jutsu. They say that he wanders alone in the wilds destroying every living thing in his path and every ninja that is sent to capture or interrogate him was left as bloody splatters on the forests. There is even a rumor that during a Konoha-Suna joint mission to rescue the Jinchuuriki Kazekage of the Sand Gaara. The Akatsuki they are supposed to be trailing have been found dead on arrival while a chakra depleted Gaara told them that a man with a red cloak with black flames appeared out of nowhere and thrashed the two Akatsuki members to pieces.

Still with all the varied reports flying everywhere, only one fact is true and the same. He is wearing a red cloak with black fire and he had a red swirl as his forehead protector. That is the only thing to can be said that can be a hundred percent of their sources. Many of the villages of course try to get him on their side but he simply brushed them off continuing his wanderings in the wild. All in all, most shinobi preffered to stay clear of the man as much as possible. The few that dared to challenge him are now labeled as Killed in Action.

"Done staring?" his voice broke out making Yugito "eep" as she realized that she had been staring at him for too long.

"I-I-I-I-I-I'm sorry," squeaked Yugito trying to stand and edge a little away from him. She was immediately stunned as she felt her legs not responding.

Horror rising in her gut, she slowly looked at her body and she whimpered seeing that she is plainly naked except for the fact that her upper torso is covered in bandages that protect her modesty and a few more that covered the sever parts where Hidan bit her. She looked lower and was relieved seeing that he at least opted to put old shorts on her privates though it barely went past her outer thigh. Still, Yugito can't help but involuntarily cover her chest as she glared at the fox sage in front of her.

"Pervert!" she can't help but hiss.

His right eyebrow merely rose slowly up in response at her accusation. "Really? Is that anyway to thank the person who saved your cute little ass?"

Normally the teasing tone would be endearing for anyone. But for Yugito it was like a slap in the face as she was reminded of what she is and what she had been made to be by her village.

"Don't touch me!" she screeched making the person in front of her wince at the volume before trying to stand up. Key word there was tried. Yugito's face turned to confusion then horror to anger as she noticed that her legs are not at all moving. They simply lay there limp and frozen at the ground.

"What have you done to my legs? Why can't I move?" she can't help but scream in both fear and anger. Already the Nanabi Jinchuuriki was feeling the panic growing on her bones as she tried again and again to move her unresponding limbs. In her mind she could already see the future that Kumo held for her if she was limp and useless. It's hard enough having legs that can help her escape from the usual mobs and groups that partook her being Kumo's sex kitten. Being disabled she would be the village's fuck toy every single minute of her life. Kumo had no sympathy for a Jinchuuriki that is disabled. They will probably kill her before they took their pleasure from her body.

She was still panicking before a stinging pain on her cheek sent her face and ears ringing from the blow. Looking up, she could feel the glaring blue eyes of the fox sage looking at her in disapproval.

"You are a ninja are you not? Act like it and not like a scared little girl," he snapped making the cat inside of Yugito timid immediately as it recognized its Alpha. "Now, tell me what do you want to know in calm and reserved tones,"

Yugito only blinked at him once before she began enumerating the questions in her head. The most prominent so far was the first one she asked.

"Why are my legs not moving?" the Kumo nin mumbled staring at her legs. "What did you do to them?"

"Nothing. Your pelvic bone and spine are broken after I found you. I believe it is caused by your battle with the two Akatsuki immortals you fought. In fact I'm astonished that you survive that long against them. With someone like your skills, you normally won't last an hour I estimate. After they uhmmm...raped you. I believe that the continuos strain in your damaged bones made the damage permanent to your body.

Yugito blinked. She can't believe what she is hearing. She is now lame? All she had wanted was being a ninja. It is one of the few lights on her life that remained on her. In fact if she would be honest with herself. It is her only positive light left that made her who she is. Its not her village, its not its people, its her station in life no matter how much the village manipulated it.

"I-I see...I- thank you for helping me," Yugito mumbled sadly unable to look at the man crouched in front of her. She can't help letting the tears fall on her eyes. Maybe it would be better if she had just died at the Akatsuki's hands. She was now an invalid and a liability. Assuming she would be able to return to her village, the chance that they would lynch her would be incredibly high.

Yugito however stiffened as she felt gentle fingers touch her bandaged hands comfortingly. Lifting her head up she was confused seeing the fox sage smiling at her softly. "It's going to be alright Yugito,"

Her head was spinning. The reports at the villages said that the fox sage was almost a demon and a murderer. Every ninja was afraid of meeting him for their lives. All in all it depicted on the young kunoichi's head that the man was a sadist and murder who laughs as he bathed in the blood of his enemies. Seeing the person smiling at her, she can't help but wonder if this guy was just playing her to get her off her guard or if he really is as kind as she was seeing right now. The more she thought about it, the more she believed it was the latter. If there was one thing Yugito was really good at, its reading people's auras. And his aura all in all was comforting and not the murdering type that she had seen on most ninjas. He had not even touched and molested her. Most shinobi and missing-nin would usually take privileges of the opposing side's kunoichi if they ever managed to capture one. Good example of that is the Akatsuki who raped her. However one thing bothered Yugito in his words.

"How in the world did you know my name?" she can't help but ask. Already the word "Stalker" was screaming in her head. The possibility of having your stalker capture you was not good if they succeeded after all.

"Now that's a question I am usually asked when I meet ninjas," chuckled the man standing up and going back to the pot where he is cooking and grabbing a bowl before pouring some stew on it. Yugito blushed when she heard her stomach growl loudly. She just realized that she is now very hungry. The man approached her again and handed her the food with a spoon before making himself comfortable in front of her.

"Being a shinobi without a village, I keep an eye out on most notable villages and the troops they had. After all information was one of the most important weapon that a shinobi must have. It always pays to know your enemy before you fight them,"

"So you know about me?" Yugito cautiously asked looking at the legendary ninja beside her. Already she could hear the yells and the insults that usually followed her when she was younger. "Demon! Bitch! Monster! You don't deserve to live!"

The sage only smiled at her sidewards. "Of course I did. Yugito Nii, daughter of the sealing master Saito Nii and Hebe Rana. Jinchuuriki of the two-tailed bijuu Matatabi who prefers being called Nibi. Kumo Jounin who rose through the ranks in questionable methods in the span of a year only. Missions completer rose no further than a B-rank and most famous of being called Kumo's sex kitten,"

Yugito was silent at the amount of information known about her. Her head spun. How did he know about her ranking and mission reports. That is extremely classified information that is meant for the Raikage only. If not for the fact that she hated her village for what it is doing to her, she would have bonked the guy there and now for having such privy information. However other than that, there is only one thing that bugged her other than having so much information about her.

"Doesn't it disgust you that I am Kumo's sex kitten?" she can't help but ask. Yugito may never admit it but that subject is very touchy to her and the less people that looked to her as that. The more comforted she would be. She after all was forced to be that by the very people that she fought to protect.

The sage only looked at her strangely with those cerulean blue eyes he had. "Are you asking me what I think about you being as a whore?"

Yugito merely nodded facing the broth that is steaming on her hands hiding the tears that is caused by that simple statement. Though she was called "Sex kitten" by her people. In the common tongue she is a whore all in all even in word.

"I don't think that you're a whore in your heart," the sage gently spoke making the Two-tails Jinchuuriki's head snap at his direction so fast in disbelief.

"What?"

"I said that I don't think you choose to be what you are now," he elaborated as Yugito blinked at him. Already she could feel the tears leave her eyes freely no matter how much she tried to stop them. She can't believe it, someone really believed that she did not choose this. Someone finally saw her as a person and not just as a tool that can be used either for killing or for pleasure. If she had her legs moving, she would have jumped on him and snogged him till he was senseless. As it was she merely smiled at him through her tears.

"Thank you so much," she sniffed as the blonde handsome sage merely rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Think nothing about it. You better eat now before it gets cold," he pointed at the stew on her hand who was temporarily forgotten.

Yugito merely nodded as she took the proffered spoon and began eating it with a lighter heart. There are very few times in her life that she was happy. Today was one of it. She now no longer cared if her savior had malicious intents on her body or her village. He had believed her to be nothing more than Yugito and had acknowledged her as a person. Not as a monster, demon, ninja or her most hated word, sex kitten.

All thoughts about personal life however was thrown out of the proverbial window the moment Yugito tasted the broth. She blinked, her mind is overloaded. This is the tastiest food that she had ever the privilege to eat and that is saying something. She had attended the Raikage's usual parties with the clan heads and ate the food there. It was food set for royalty mostly of course and taste great. However compared to what she is eating today, those food tasted bland.

"You-you don't like it?" the blonde sage asked at her side and she was surprised seeing the worried expression in his face eyeing the broth and her. It then clicked on her brain at his meaning as she watched him sweat with nervousness.

"No, no its good," for the first time in her nineteen years of living, Yugito laughed. "In fact its the best thing I had the pleasure to taste,"

She could practically see him sigh in relief at her words before he made his own smile. "That's great. I was worried if you don't like it. I've been traveling for so long that I don't know if the food I am still cooking was edible for someone else other than me,"

"Trust me, it's good," smiled Yugito easing up at him. "How did you get to cook this great?"

"Trial and error," he simply replied. "First time I cooked was a blackened mess and would have stopped a dying person from dying if you forced it on him. I nearly died when I forced myself to eat it.

Yugito giggled. "That would have been funny,"

"Trust me it is," the sage shuddered as if relieving the memory. "Until now I don't think the taste still left my mouth,"

"Well I am glad that you have improved from that disaster to this divine food right now Mister. Else you would have been scraping me off the ground right now,"

The sage only waved her comment away as Yugito giggled before she began devouring the broth. Being a Jinchuuriki, her appetite is usually larger than normal and she nearly emptied the cooking spit as she asked for more forgetting the little fact that whom she is requesting food was a man that the five elemental nations are very wary of. She missed also the amused looks the sage is giving her as he handed her more food.

By the fifteenth bowl that Yugito finished, she was purring already in pleasure and she patted her stomach comfortably. It was always a rare opportunity for her to eat all she want. At Kumo the small Sushi stand who tolerated her let her buy food all she want also but the people got wind of it and forced the owner to close shop since "Demons don't deserve to eat human food," .Starting that day, even with ninja pay she was forced to scavenge food sometimes since everyone was overpricing her that she was nearly starved at a couple of times.

Yugito was silent though as the sage began picking up the used dishes and began cleaning them from his canteen of water. Immediately she felt guilty and useless. She could not even force herself to get up and help this wondrous person to wash the dishes due to her being lame. It took all her willpower not to cry. The full force of her station now as an invalid is threatening to flatten her on the ground and she had no wish to let the sage see her again weeping. She had cried more times today than she had in her entire life.

As it was, the Kumo kunoichi focused instead on checking her bandaged wounds. Every movement made her wince and she knew that it would take at least a week even with Nibi's chakra helping her before the wounds will permanently heal. She's not as strong as the other Jinchuuriki in terms of healing and hers would take time. She still remembered the strange whiplike weapons the one called Kazuku had literally whipped her to shreds leaving large and deep gouges in her body. She was however brought out of her musings as she heard the sage approaching her.

"Eh Yugito?"

"Hmm...," she blinked seeing him fidget nervously. His actions confused her. It is now official, this person was not the same one as the bingo book said it would. Though she was sure that he is no pushover although. After all he just defeated an immortal that cannot be killed by a full powered Matatabi after all.

"You know that I have seen you naked sine I cleaned your wounds right?" he muttered blushing to the roots of his hair that it caught Yugito by surprise. And also much to her horror she found herself going red also and a strange reaction was going on her stomach that somehow didn't involve the food she ate at all.

"Yes," Yugito was confused. She was used being naked among people in Kumo as they used her body since: "This is the good things Demons are good for," according to them.

"Well, I am willing to take responsibility for destroying your modesty though it is nothing that I have never seen before. It's just...well if you are asking for compensation well I...,"

The two-tails' Jinchuuriki felt her jaw drop unable to believe her ears was hearing right. Here was a man willing to take responsibility for her since he saw her naked. Her, a whore, an invalid, a monster according to her people. He would care for her and provide for her according to the old ways and in all aspects she would be his wife in all but name. Her head spun and if not for the fact that her day had been filled with surprises, she would have fainted. As it is, she merely sat there stunned and confused.

The young sage must have noticed her stiffness for he sighed and before Yugito knew it, he was scooped in his arms and carried bridal style to a small pallet beside the fire. She blushed to the roots of her hair unable to meet the face of the person afraid of revealing her pink face. The feeling in her stomach was nearly making her crazy and it did not help that his hands lingered on the soft part of her legs and the ones holding her back made her feel safe and secure. She was also very aware that she was extremely naked in shorts only covered in her top by bandages that preserved her modesty. Any sane male would have glanced at her "assets" already but this one didn't. He even made sure that his hands stayed away from the side of her breasts. Yugito may not know it but she was an extremely beautiful woman at the prime of her youth.

"We'll talk again tomorrow. Get some rest Yugito," he spoke laying the disabled woman beside the fire on the pallet. "I'll keep watch, don't worry. No one will harm you tonight," He then started to move away but Yugito making up her mind grabbed his hand making him stop and look at her questioningly.

"Thank you again for saving my life," said Yugito making sure that their eyes are glued to one another so that she can convey how much she appreciated his help. "I will forever be grateful,"

"Think nothing of it Yugito," he smiled softly removing his red cloak and covering Yugito with it like a blanket making her snuggle in comfort before walking away.

"Hey Mr. Sage. I never got your name," she called out making the man look back one more time at her.

"It's Uzumaki Naruto,"

"Uzumaki Naruto," mumbled Yugito sleepily later as she yawned. "That's a weird fishcake name for a handsome and powerful man," she giggled softly thanking her lucky stars that Nibi is still asleep and recuperating else she would never hear the end of it. Drifting off to her own land of dreams, Yugito's last thought was filled with the handsome fox sage that rescued her.
