Gin: And what a funk it was!
Me: (evil aura comes out) Oh Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin~!
Gin: (Pales) -UURK!
Yuna&Yuno: (sweatdrops)
Me: Now that is over with-(glares at quivering form of Gin)-Yuna, do the disclaimer please?
Yuna: Of course. Hika-chan does not own Naruto. Nor does she own several aspects of other anime/manga/games that she has placed here in this fanfiction, such as Ookami, the video game about the white wolf/Sun goddess Amaterasu.
Gin: Ya know, the one with the white wolf fighting demons and is actually the sun god/goddess Amaterasu?
Yuno: SHE SAID THAT ALREADY!
Gin: (cowers)
Yuna: (sweatdrops) Anyway, we will not do the disclaimer again. Hika-chan wouldn't even have to go to the fanfic website if she owned the various animes/mangas/games that she loves.
Me: (sighs)...Well, START THE CHAPPY! xD
Muses: Ossu!
Prologue
'It's everywhere.' A man thought as he wandered the ash covered ruins of a hidden village, the clouds above him dark and ominous, hiding his form from view. A village that had once been his home. Pangs of sadness filled his heart and tears stung his hears threatening to fall. 'Everyone is gone.' He realized. And he let the tears fall as the rain began to fall from the darkened sky.
For Konoha and everyone he held precious was gone.
He didn't know how long he cried, but cry he did in the pouring rain, until it began to subside. He felt numb. Losing what gave you your purpose can do that to you. He didn't even notice when he was pulled into his mind.
(INSIDE MINDSCAPE)
The man wasn't thinking, so he let his feet take him to his destination. He had done this so many times that his body remembered the path instinctively. The wonders of muscle memory. But no time to ponder that now, he was at his destination.
He looked into the great cage in his sewer-like mind, face stolid and eyes dull. The cage's bars were to large to hold someone within it, but then it wasn't a person that it was keeping at bay. Sure enough, a large pair of malicious glowing red eyes appeared from within the cage, somehow looking soft as it looked at the being front of him. The man didn't .notice.
"KIT…" A voice growled softly, coming from the cage. The man didn't respond. The giant eyes narrowed from slight worry and irritation. The voice tried again.
"OI, KIT! LOOK AT ME! I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU." Nope, no reaction. Que angry and irritated rant.
"PATHETIC! STOP WALLOWING IN YOUR PAIN LIKE SOME SORT OF WEAKLING, YOU STUPID BRAT! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN THIS, SO START ACTING LIKE IT, NOT LIKE ONE OF THOSE IDIOTIC FLESH-BAGS WHO THINK THEY HAVE LOST EVERYTHING!" The voice from the cage roared, angered by his hosts lack of reaction. He wouldn't have to worry about anymore though, as his words snapped the man back to reality.
"SHUT UP KYUUBI! You don't know what I'm going through! Everyone is gone! The Rookie 12, the Konohamaru Corps, Baa-chan, Ero-sennin, Iruka-sensei, everyone is DEAD and I HAVE lost everything that matters if you haven't noticed, Baka-Kitsune!" He shouted at the fox switching from his apathetic form to fury and grief violently.
"NOT FOR LONG." The Kyuubi said, calmly, getting the reaction he wanted from his charge. And as he predicted, his jailer froze, then looked towards him.
" Wha-what? What do you mean, 'Not for long'! They're gone and nothing can bring them back!" The man said, falling to his knees as his tears fell from his eyes. The Kyuubi looked at his with softness in his eyes, and with a tail, beckoned the man into the cage. The man did so, uncaring that the beast had been the same one that had ravaged his village the day he was born 21 years ago, sealing his fate.
The beast wrapped his tails around his charged as if they were blankets, comforting the man.
"I KNOW THAT. NOTHING WILL BRING THEM BACK." His charged seemed to slump into himself, probably having have hoped that the great fox would have proved his words wrongs. Guess he didn't have a hope.
"BUT I KNOW A WAY TO ENSURE THEY WILL LIVE AGAIN."
…Okay, so maybe the man did have hope!
" What! How! What do we have to do? Come on, tell me!" The man begged, borderline whining. The great fox chuckled.
"WE GO BACK IN TIME." There, he said it.
Me: SO! How was it! PLEASE REVIEW!
Yuna: Make sure that no flames are sent.
Yuno: Not that we would notice. We would ignore those right?
Gin: He does have a point there. Flames ARE ignored by us.
Me: True. Anyway. BYE!
MUSES: BYE!
