Chapter 1
I don't own Naruto, just this plot
Twelve year old Naruko is covered in blood and panting, she is holding a bloody kunai and is surrounded by dead bodies, "this wasn't supposed to happen," she drops the kunai and looks at the bodies. The bodies are unrecognizable, "this wasn't supposed to happen," she drops to her knees and Anbu men come and look at her and the dead men.
"Did she," on asks and look at how much Naruko is trembling.
"Grab her and lock her away for now, until we get further orders from the Hokage," the leader orders.
"I didn't mean to," she whispers, "they attacked me first and," tears run down her face.
A female Anbu agent bends down to her, "we are just following protocol, please come with us nicely and thinks will go easier for all of us," she stands up and holds out her hand.
Naruko looks at her and takes her hand and she leads her to the village. They lock her in a prison, "the trail will be tomorrow demon," the guard spits, "you will finally get what you deserve."
Naruko washes the blood off of herself and throws her jacket on the floor of her cell, "tomorrow, what will they be doing today then?"
"Building the case," he says and looks at her. Naruko takes her hair down, "you will finally get what you deserve" he says smiling.
"To live in a cage right? It seems nicer than living her," she says and sees the card on the table, "would you like to play a game with me?"
"Why should I?"
"I think you are as bored as I am," she says and he doesn't disagree with her.
"Do you know how to play," he shuffles the card and moves the table to the bars so they can play.
"Yeah, I have played a few times," she says and she picks up her cards.
"Three of a kind," he puts down his cards.
"Royal flush," Naruko says and puts her cards down.
"What," he takes the cards and reshuffles them, "you're pretty good for a kid," he says grinning.
"I have played a few times," she says and picks her cards up again.
"You won't win this time," he throws his cards down, "full house."
"Four of a kind," she says, "I win again."
"Tsk, that is impossible, how many times have you played this game?!"
"I have a lot of free time," Naruko says and yawns, "what time is it?"
"Nine, why?"
"I should be asleep by now," Naruko says, "can we play more tomorrow, before my trial?"
"Sure, night," he moves the table and chair back, "here," he gives her the deck of cards, "keep it."
"Thanks," she says and goes to sleep, she lies on the floor.
"There is a bed right next to you," the guard says.
"Hm," she looks at him, "oh," she grabs the pillow and blanket, "I'm used to sleeping on the floor," she curls up in the blanket and falls asleep.
4:00
Naruko wakes up and looks at the sleeping guards, "another one," she whispers. A strong killer instanced hits her, "hn."
Yesterday
"Are you sure about this Kurama, if we do this," Naruko says.
"I am fussing with you Kit, that is that, but there are a few thinks I will need to warn you about," Kurama says and Naruko nods, "for the next few days you will have a very strong instinct to kill anyone or anything near you."
"Ok," she says, "I will just avoid everyone."
Naruko takes a deep breath as she feels Kurama's chakra merge with her own, "your physical appearance will change a little too,"
"How much?"
"Your whiskers will get darker and your hair will turn bright red, little it should have been."
Oh yeah, Uzumaki's have red hair, Naruko thinks
Back to Naruko's cell
"No," she says wraps the blanket around her and looks at them and plays solitary.
8:00
The guards wake up to see Naruko playing solitary, "how long have you been up for demon?" The new guard asks.
She pulls out her pocket watch, "since four o'clock."
"Why didn't you go back to sleep?"
"I wasn't tired anymore," she says and shuffles the cards, "wana play a game?"
"Not right now, sorry," he gets up and pushes a tray of food in her cell, "you should have woken us up."
She eats, "I like when it is quiet in the morning." They drink some coffee as they watch her stretch, "something wrong?"
"No," the new guy says.
She sits down crossing her legs and looks at them, "is something wrong?"
"I am kind of hungry still," she says smiling.
The new guy is surprised but the first one gives her another tray of food, "you can eat a lot kid."
"I know," she says as she eats.
"She is a demon," Naruko chokes a bit and drinks her water; "did you eat to fast or something?"
"You just surprised me," she says and pushes the empty tray out of the cell.
10:00
Anbu came in to get Naruko, "walk out slowly," the man warns.
Naruko walks out very slowly, "slow enough?"
He puts cuffs on her, "why didn't you chain the demon up, it could have killed you and escaped!"
"She behaved herself, we were just testing her," the new guy says.
The Anbu men take Naruko to the Konoha court and the Hokage is the judge, she doesn't look at him, "Naruko Uzumaki, did you kill those people?"
"I will not lie or try to surge coat it," she looks at him, "yes, I killed those men."
"Why," the third asks.
She smiles, "do you want the truth?"
"Yes," he says, the room becomes uneasy.
"All this village has ever done is tried to kill me, and when they interrupted my training, I warned them to leave but they didn't. All they did was point their weapons at me and I wasn't having a good day so I fought back instead of running away like I usually do and before I knew what happened they were dead."
"She admitted to murder," one man screams and the crowd joins him.
"Murderer!" one man screams.
"Demon," another screams.
"Send her away!
"Kill her for all the lives she has taken!" A woman screams.
"Enough!" The third screams and everyone is quiet, "are you going to tell your side?"
"Why should I bother? I have no proof and all the village will do if I am proven innocent is hate me more but this time, they will have a reason. Do what you want," she says.
The third and the crowd is shocked, no one expected her to give up so easily, "you will be sent to a rouge ninja prison until you are needed," he says and the Anbu men lead her out.
People outside throw things at her and the Anbu men protect her as they lead her out of the village, if they try to kill me then I won't die anymore, I am a real demon now. Her eye glow red for a minute then change back.
"Why didn't you try to defend yourself?" A man asks her as they get on a boat.
"All my wounds are healed and no one would believe me anyway," Naruko says sadly, "to you people I am nothing but a monster, a demon and I don't even know why you think this. I haven't done anything until now to earn your hate!" They look at her as some men row the boat, "do you know what this prison is like?"
"No, it is for ninjas who can be rehabilitated so they are useful to their village. All the villages send people here."
She smiles, "so they think I am going to be helpful later," she says, "why I would help you after everything you people have done to me?!"
They are silent for the rest of the ride as Naruko's words sink into the Anbu men. They lead her off of the boat trying not to touch her unless she needed help.
"So this is our new guest," the guard says. He has short black hair and is wearing a standard green uniform, "I am Hachiro, what is your name sweetie?"
"Naruko," she says.
"Here I am going to be your teacher, you will be assigned to a…" Hachiro looks at the Anbu, "you may leave now." Hachiro unlocks Naruko's cuffs and they walk inside, "like I was saying, you will be assigned to a group or a 'family'; we find that if you work in a group it will help you open up more." He leads her into an office, "wait here."
Naruko sits down and another girl about Naruko's age moves closer to her, "what are you here for?" She asks, she has short black hair and is wearing a black shirt and black shorts.
"I killed a few people," Naruko says hoping to get the girl to leave her alone.
"Hn, that is it, if you are going to live here you need to do something worse than that. What kind of kill was it, silent and clean, loud and bloody?"
"Quiet and bloody in the woods," Naruko says.
"You're still a noob," the girl says.
"Alright," she looks at the girl, "why are you here?"
"I stole my Kage's forbidden scroll and learned a few techniques that I used to kill a few people," she says.
"And you are proud of that?"
She looks at Naruko shocked, "what is your name noob?"
"Naruko," she says, "and you are?"
"No you aren't," the girl thinks for a minute, "you are Yami," she says smiling, "no one here uses there real name Yami, and when someone asks you want you did, they will phrase it like this, 'what did you do in your past life,' because we aren't who we used to be. Here, we all start over here, so if you were always teased and beaten then here, none of that matter because we are all family."
Naruko smiles, "alright, I am Yami, who are you?"
"I am Raito," she says, "nice to meet you Yami."
"Naruko," Hachiro says, "come here, Raito, you too."
The girl walk in, "who is Naruko, this is Yami," Raito says.
Hachiro sighs, "Right, Yami, my mistake," he leads them to the warden, "this is the warden, you are to call him Grandpa."
"Hello Yami," the man say, he is about fifty and has long black hair, "welcome to our family."
"Thank you for having me," Naruko bows and Raito giggles.
"A respectable girl, I like you Yami," Grandpa says. She smiles at him, "put her in Raito's clan," he says and Hachiro looks shocked.
"But sir, if we do that then," Grandpa Looks at him like to say, 'are you questioning me boy?!' "Yes sir, follow me."
They walk into a large room with bunk bed lined up across the walls, except for the one with a door, "come on Imouto," Raito says and pulls Naruko in the room. One wall is dark red, one wall is orange, another wall is dark blue, and the wall with the door in it is dark gray, "you, me, and my Otouto are in this clan."
"This is where you will live and sleep until you are called upon by your village," Hachiro says, "your father will come here to meet you in a few minutes, and from now on I am uncle Hachiro. People who aren't in your clan are your cousins and all adults who aren't your parents are you aunt and uncles."
"Yes uncle Hachiro," Naruko says, he leaves ad closes the door.
"Ok Yami," Raito says, "we are the Akuma clan," she smiles, "we are the strongest and most feared clan here so if anyone messes with you say you are Yami Akuma of the Akuma clan and they will leave you alone. If you are put in my little clan then you must have something special sealed in you or you are something special."
"I guess you could say that," Naruko says.
"Lighten up," she says and looks at Naruko's cloths, "and change out of that orange thing." Naruko takes off her jump suit and puts on what Raito gives her, a dark gray shirt with dark red kanji on the back that says 'Akuma' and dark blue pants with new orange ribbons to hold up Naruko's hair.
"Better Nee – chan?"
"Much," Raito says nodding, "I will find brother and Papa, then introduce you to them, explore around the room if you want," Raito leaves.
Naruko walks out of the room and looks around, "this place is huge."
"Look, it is the noob," a girl says.
This must be the girl's side of the building, Naruko thinks, "hi."
Her friend pushes her down, "what is your clan noob?"
"Akuma," Naruko jumps up and scares them, "I am from the Akuma clan and I am not 'noob' I am Yami, so get it right!"
They back away, "w-we are sorry," they run away, Naruko see the kanji for rabbit on their backs in yellow.
"Were they picking on you?" a boy asks, he is taller than Naruko and looks about two years older too.
"Yeah but I took care of them," she sees the dark blue Kanji for Akuma on his sleeve. He is wearing a white shirt and gray pants; he has short black hair that is spiked in the back.
"You must be the new family member, I can see why Grandpa thought you belonged with us," he says.
She nods and they walk back into the room, "how many people are in Akuma clan?" Naruko asks.
"Three, me, you, and Raito," he says, "I am Ichiro but I would prefer you call me Aniki," Ichiro says.
"Right, I am Naruko, I mean Yami," Naruko says.
"You aren't used to your new name yet Imouto?"
"Nope," she says smiling and Ichiro pats her on the head.
"Yami, I found Papa but," Raito looks at Ichiro patting Naruko on the head, "oh you already found my Otouto, your Aniki."
"He is older than you," Naruko says.
"Not here, I am ten and he is only seven," Raito says.
By that logic, I am a newborn, "alright."
"This is Papa," he has white hair tied back in a short pony tail.
"Nice to meet you Yami," he says smiling.
"So who were those girls, what clan were they from?" Ichiro asks.
"Imouto, you were attacked?!"
"Yes, but…"
"Did you see the clan name on their shirts?" Papa asks.
"Yeah, rabbit clan," she says and they all look ticked.
"That is the last straw," Papa says, "those rabbits are going to get it this time."
"What," Naruko asks confused.
"Yami, if someone attacks you them you fight back," Raito says.
"The only reason they did that was because they know I am new," Naruko says.
"Why are you defending them?" Ichiro asks a bit confused, "do you always defend your attackers."
"All they did was push me down, that isn't attacking," Naruko says.
"What kind of village did you come from in your last life?!" Raito asks.
"I village that taught me what real attacking is," Naruko lies down on a bed near the door, "is there anything I need to know about?"
"Akuma clan is close to Bird, Dragon, and Phoenix clan," Ichiro says, "so if anyone from one of those clans is in trouble around you, help them if you can or find one of us, they will do the same for you."
Naruko nods, "do all the clans wear the Kanji on their shirt?"
"Yes, it is a rule," Raito says chiming in.
Naruko looks at her pocket watch, "nine o'clock, already?"
"What, do you have a bed time?" Raito teases.
"A self-proclaimed one but yes," Naruko pulls the coves off the bed and throws the pillow on the floor, "night."
"Why are you on the floor?" Raito looks at her confused.
"I like sleeping on the floor," she says.
"Sleep in the bed," Ichiro says, "and lights out isn't till ten."
"No, and I don't care" she rolls over.
Papa picks her up and puts her in the bed, "good night."
