I do not own Naruto or its affiliated characters. This is a work of fiction and I will warn you of graphic scenes and gore as well as sexual scenes if you do not like such scenes refrain from reading any farther and move along. Now with that over with on with the story. This is in the readers perspective and you are a man. The characters in this story are over 18.

I darted around a tree and hid hoping that my hiding place was better than the last one and that I might be able to for once not be found. I found it unlikely though. Kankuro and Temari always found me. But this time daylight was fading fast and still no sign of either of them. Had gone to far? Was I way to far away for them to possibly find me? I jumped out and glanced around curiously. Then I headed back in the direction I had come hoping to find them on my way because it was getting dark fast and I didn't want to get lost out here in the dark. Suddenly I was lifted into the air and thrown a good distance. I landed at the feet of a tall man. Whose height I only recognized once I sat up and looked. He growled at me and so did the other man the one that had thrown me in the first place.
"So you caught him eh? Good job Fijimaru," the tall male said as he dragged me to my feet by my hair and then threw me into a circle drawn into the sand. He formed hand signs so fast I couldn't even get the chance to figure out what he was doing. I began panicking what where they going to do to me? Test a new jutsu on me? I wondered.
Then I felt agonizing pain zip through my entire body, before he placed a hand on forearm and then I realized as a set of swirled and strange markings began forming on my arm that this was a sealing jutsu. Sealing! Were they trying to seal me? No I didn't think so. I began studying the markings and realized I had seen them before, jinchouruki had them.
"No! Don't do it please!" I screamed before the pain of my soul being melded with another made me pass out. I woke what seemed like years later and looked around. Blood lay in large pools everywhere and dismembered bodies lay about in them. What-no I couldn't...but I did. I began screaming, as the realization that I had killed all these people dawned on me. There were twenty of them. Then I heard the voice deep and definitely male.
"They were trying to hurt you and I destroyed them. You are my new host I am the five tails. You can call me Kokuo, from now on I am your protector and you are my body."
"But why did you kill them?"
"They wanted to use and control me by using your body and I do not tolerate my hosts being manipulated," the voice said as I slowly rose from my kneeling position. I remained silent for a while and collected the weapons and various armor that hadn't been destroyed. I opened my summoning scroll and placed everything in it and sealed it. Now I would have them for later. I put on the forearm band and the shoulder plate both on opposite sides and began training and traveling towards the hidden sand village. I needed to get home I knew it would take a while but I had no problem with that as I had my new friend with me. Kokuo became a close friend. Two years later, a lot of wandering and training later, I arrived once more in the village of sand.
I glance around and smiled stretching out of weariness before I heard a voice yell my name. As I turned in its direction my body was engulfed in strong arms and I was crushed to a chest so hard I could hear its heart beating through his clothes. Instinctively ready from all my training I flipped and dodged and flung the guy back six feet before taking up a defensive stance. I stared in alarm before recognizing my best friend Kankuro. "Kankuro?! Is that you?! I missed you so much I am so sorry! I have been alone for so long."
"No forgive me, father up and took Temari and I away and we had to go home, he wouldn't let us go looking for you," he said coming closer cautiously. I shortened the space with long strides, hugging him close and tight.
"I was attacked by strange ninja and they sealed the five tails inside me," I said softly, "But don't worry Kokuo has taken good care of me training me and teaching me stuff. I am no longer the weak boy who used to lose every game of hide and seek Kankuro my friend." I said pulling away and grinning. His smile was wide, but his eyes full of surprise and worry.
"I bet my father had that done, thinking he could control you," he growled angrily.
"Still playing with dolls?" I asked noticing a puppet under one arm.
"Yes...I have gotten a lot better at using my puppets and I have created a few of my own," he said with a blush.
"Maybe we could spar sometime see how good each other has gotten," I said as I stepped back and studied the older friend of mine. His eyes ran over me and mine ran over him again. I laughed and backed up a bit just as I heard a shout and suddenly sand was rising from the ground, the ground itself began shaking and Kankuro looked horrified.
"That's Gaara!" he cried.
"Your brother?!" I said in surprise looking up and seeing the red haired boy floating amongst the rising sand that was developing a dome over the city. I gasped and stared, the immense chakra was so strong. A tailed beasts chakra. I tossed aside the cloak I had gained and instantly released my weapons in full stream at the man on the white bird. He tried to dodge but got a few kunai lodged in his left arm and one in the right shoulder. Out of all the weapons I threw had either missed or began falling I resummoned them to my scroll before releasing them at a much greater velocity and strength loading them with chakra to make them burn into their target.
After five such attacks the blond was severely bleeding and very infuriated though he had Gaara in his birds talons. I screamed in rage and if it hadn't been for my chakra exhaustion I would have raced after him. The blonds partner made him leave with him. I gasped and panted as tears filled my eyes. Gaara had defended the village with his life and now was helpless in his enemies hands. Kankuro caught me before I fell. I glanced at him and sighed, "We need to talk to the elders now before he is taken to far away!" I said.
Kankuro nodded helping me to my feet and then supporting some of my weight as we headed there. "Never mind just go I will rest a bit." He nodded and took off. I set to work concentrating my energy with Kokuo's help on healing my sensitive chakra network. Due to the sudden infusion of my soul at the wrong age and without the proper seal it had weakened my chakra network and over the past year he and I had worked carefully strengthening it and fixing the mistake.
"Kokuo we have to hurry if Gaara and his captors get to far away then it will be to hard to follow them," "Agreed," Kokuo and I merged our chakras and instantly began melding and healing the little damage and a little bit of the chakra network as we did so. Kankuro returned and told me that the council had decided that they had to wait first. He though stormed off to go on his own. I sighed, "Lets go protect him Kokuo," I said rising and racing after him. We finally caught up to him just as the blond's partner launched a series of weapons at Kankuro a set he couldn't avoid.
"Kokuo! Defensive barrier!" I yelled as I transformed into a shielded and white chakra covered form. "Lets do this," I said with a laugh as a mace and a sword both materialized in my palms. I swung and attacked and swung and attacked. By the time I was through with my barrage, the akatsuki member lay on his back and all his hundreds of summoning puppets lay around him just as destroyed as the him. I released our joining and collapsed. Kankuro caught me and held me close.
"Thanks watching you fight I realize that if it hadn't been for you I would be dead I was no match for him," he said worriedly.
I smiled and reached up to tap his nose like he always did to me when we were younger, "Now who is protecting who," I said with a chuckle before passing out.
I woke twelve hours later and in a bed recovering. Kankuro sat beside me, "You are lucky some of the ninja from the hidden leaf came here to help us and one was a protégé of the Hokage herself. She healed you the rest of the way, not to mention she corrected some broken chakra networks," he said rising. I glanced around and realized I felt a lot better.
"We are leaving in the next couple of hours to go after Gaara. Since you took down an akatsuki member you are going to stay and rest while we go," he said leaning and kissing my forehead sweetly. "I don't want to lose you 'Name' and I nearly did and I was so scared," he said glancing down shyly, "But knowing how close I came to losing you I decided to tell you the whole truth. I love you, " he said, "I don't want to let another minute of my life pass without you knowing."
"Commere," I said softly as I sat up slowly. He came back down and I kissed his nose. He blinked stupidly and I grabbed his hair and pulled him down into a deeper full kiss, "I love you too," I said softly.
