In a small crib a tiny baby unicorn filly slept peacefully as two shadows loomed over the little filly.
"Is this the little brat?" A mare with a two toned voice asked looking at her partner.
"Yes, Twilight Sparkle. The child of profecy, she will be the end of all of us in the future." He growled glaring at the defenceless foal that slept soundly unaware of the what was happening.
"Well then, why don't we just get rid of her then." The two toned mare snarled her horn lighting up along with her partners claw.
"Indeed." He growled and fired their spells at the foal watching as the spells hit and the foal was gone making them smile before the door burst open and an alicorn fired a spell turning the mare to ash as her partner got away laughing.
"Damn you Discord!" She roared into the night hearing his laughter fading as two unicorns came into the room followed by a young colt.
They all froze looking at the scorch mark that was once their daughter and little sister.
The alicorn looked down in sorrow cursing herself for being to late.
"I'm so sorry." She said as they looked up at her.
"Please, just leave." The stallion stated while the alicorn hung her head and flashed away.
'There are going to be dark days coming.' She thought.
(Outside walls of the Hidden Leaf Village)
The sound of a child crying brought the attention of the village guard as they ran to see what was going on.
"Looks like we got another one." One said as the other sighed. The child what a dark chocolate color with purple hair with a small pink highlight going through the middle.
"Yeah looks like it, well we better get her to the hospital and get her checked out. I'll have someone watch the gate. Izumo, do you see anything that shows who she is?"
"Nah, same as the others Kotetsu." Izumo sighed running his hand over his bandanna covered head as they headed back to their post to wait on their relief.
"She's cute though, interesting hair to." Kotetsu smiled down at the little girl as she whimpered.
"Hey, hey, hey. It's ok sweetie, you're ok now." Kotetsu cooed whiel Izumo chuckled.
"Careful Kotetsu or you're gonna get attached." Izumo smiled as his friend looked her over.
"Hey look at this." Kotetsu stated lifting the girls bangs up showing a six pointed star along with a few small ones around it. It looked like a type of seal.
"What do you think it is?"
"Don't know, who would put a seal on a new born though?"
"Don't know, she could be from some clan or something."
"Hm."
"Izumo, Kotetsu, report." The turned to see a bird masked ANBU looking at them.
"Sir, we found another child by the gates. Our relief should be here soon and we're going to take the child there ourselves. Also there is some type of seal on her forehead." Kotetsu stated getting a nod from the ANBU just as two chuunin came up to them.
"Hey you guys, you're free to go." The ANBU nodded and disappeared in a whirl of leaves.
"Come on Izumo, lets go report this to Lord Hokage." Kotetsu stated looking down at the sleeping girl as they headed to the hospital to get her checked out first.
If they would have stayed a few seconds longer they would have see a bloody comrade appear at the gate.
When the two appeared in the lobby the siren started to go off making the two go wide eyed and hand the child over to the nearest nurse giving a quick brief on the girl before they went to get their orders.
The Kyuubi, they didn't know where it had came from but it had already breached the gates and was inside the village.
Minato panted as he battled with the masked man he had his family taken somewhere safe. Kushina along with Naruto was safe for now but his son wouldn't be born for a another few weeks.
"This village will be nothing but ash." The masked man laughed making Minato growl and watched as the Nine Tails destroyed more of the village.
"You will never be able to destroy the village so long as one person with the Will of Fire still breath!" Minato snarled.
"Tch. Spare me your speeches. Now prepare yourself!" The man shout charging him as Minato let fly a one of his special kunai, only for it to faze right through the mans head.
Just as he was about to reach Minato, he disappeared in a yellow flash.
"RASENGAN!" A ball of chakra slammed into the back of the masked man before expanding tearing the area apart. Minato jumped back ready for a counter attack.
'Did I get him?'
Minato substatuted himself with a log just a the area was blackened by a fire jutsu.
"Don't think this is over boy." The masked man growled and charged from the treeline towards Minato.
As the two fought Minato was able to separate the Nine Tails from the man using a contract seal.
"Very good Lord Fourth, you are well worthy of your title. Inflicing harm to me along with taking the Nine Tails from me." The masked man said as the area around him wavered.
"I will rule this world, there is more than one way to go about it." He said as he disappeared. With a roar he looked at his village and growled.
'I'm coming!'
With that he flashed away heading to the village as the Kyuubi was forced out of the village just as the demon prepared another one of his powerful chakra balls.
"SUMMONING JUTSU!"
A monsterous frog fell from the sky landing on the Kyuubi's back and slamming his face into the ground.
"Don't even think about it!" The toad growled.
"Lord Fourth!"
"I know!" Minato jumped own and onto the Kyuubi's neck as he looked at the Third Hokage.
"You know what has to be done, Naruto isn't going to be here soon enough!" Minato stated as a golden light began to glow.
"But the hospital was destroyed!"
"We need to find one fast! It has to be a newborn! Hurry!" With that the Nine Tails and the Fourth Hokage vanished.
"If she's still alive we know where one is sir." Izumo stated as the old hokage nodded.
"Find it and get it to Minato as quickly as you can." He said as the rest of the shinobi shot off after their current Hokage.
Minato panted as he looked down at the small child that was staring up at him with wonder.
"I'm sorry, I wish there was another way." He sighed finishing the seal on the girls stomach as he began the process of sealing the demon away before his world went black.
'Kushina, Naruto. I'm sorry.' Were his last thoughts before there was nothing.
Hiruzen, the Third Hokage sighed as he picked up the sleeping child as it began to rain.
"You foolish boy, you should have let me do the sealing. Now what am I suppose to tell Kushina?" The old ninja sighed as the girl started to squirm.
"And what of you little one? You are a mystery in itself. No name, no past, you just appear in the night right as we need you. The lone survivor of the nursery and now you are the savior of our village and Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tails." He said as the rain started to come down more heavily.
"Lets go. Lets get Minato home, we have a lot of work to do." Hiruzen gave a ragged sigh watching a few of the shinobi take Minato's body before they all disappeared in a whirl of leaves.
(12 years later)
Kimiko Mori sighed as she walked through the market place feeling the hatred from the villagers.
'Why do I even bother staying?' She sighed heading for her little ratty apartment.
Ever since she was kicked out of the orphanage, the old man had given her a apartment even though it was in the red light district. She had come to know every scumbag, rapist, murder and other forms of low lifes that were in her neiborhood.
Today was her 12th birthday, October 10th. The only reason she wasn't locked in her aparment right now is that the festival hadn't even started yet. The death of the Kyuubi festival.
[You know if you just let me take control then I could make everyone regret ever harming you] She heard in the back of her mind making her groan.
'Shut up stupid fox. It's because of you that they hate me.' She growled at the demon lord.
[Offer is still on the table kit] The fox chuckled as she sighed.
'Just leave me alone Kyuubi.' She thought back feeling the fox go back into the seal as she came to her apartment where more graffiti and her destroyed door welcomed her home.
"Great, another week in the sewers. Wonderful." She groaned pushing the door in grabbing some kunai that she got from some of the training grounds watching the ninja train.
That was her dream, to be a ninja and prove all of them that they were wrong about her.
'I'm not Kyuubi.' She sighed reading some of the writing on the demanding her death.
"Hey Kimiko-chan, another house party?" The girl looked back and smiled a little at one of her only friends. He had long blonde hair tied at the base with a black silk ribbon. Dark blue eyes and stood at 5'3" small build he was wearing an off-white color shirt and ninja pants.
"Hey Rai, yeah real party just like last week." She groaned as her fellow orphan walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, come on now things will get better." He smiled as she growled slapping his hand away.
"WHEN!? When will they get better!? I can't take this much more Rai! I haven't eaten in days, I get beat every other day because I'm the 'demon bitch'! I loose everything I ever work hard for and not to mention every other week I have to live in a damn sewer!" She panted as he sat there and took it.
"Sorry." She sighed as he threw a arm over her shoulders.
"Hey don't worry about it. I know it's really hard for you, and by the way, Draco told me to give you these." He said pulling out a few apples making her eyes widen.
Draco was one of her ANBU guards that the old man assigned to her to make sure she was ok. He was one of the only ones that treated her like a human and actually came to her rescue to many times to count when the mobs came.
"Wow, I got to thank him next time I see him." Kimiko smiled taking the apples and putting them in her travel bag. She kept one out and happily munched on it as the two exited the house after she grabbed the only thing that she cherished.
A photo of her, Rai, and Draco smiling at the camera.
Kimiko sighed as she heard the crowds begin to cheer while they made their way towards one of the alley sewers entrances as they passed by a few homeless.
"Hey Ichiru." Kimiko called out to the man tossing a apple to him making him smile.
"Thank kid. I'll be sure to keep a look out for ya." He said getting a nod from the girl.
"Thanks, see you in a few days." She said pulling the man cover off and hopped down while Rai covered it back up.
"See you in a few days Kimi." He called down to her.
"THAT'S NOT MY NAME BAKA!" She roared making him chuckle.
"Careful that one has a temper on her." Ichiru smiled as Rai shrugged before heading back to the orphanage.
Down in the sewers Kimiko grumbled as her hand was engulfed with fire lighting up the tunnels.
"Lets see I think the safehouse is around here somewhere." She mused jumping over the stream of god only knew what was in it and headed down the pathways.
[I really don't know how you can stand the smell kit.]
'Well when you do it enough times I guess you get used to it fox.' She sighed as she continued on down the walkway.
After what felt like hours she looked around and sighed.
'I'm lost.' She groaned hearing the kyuubi sigh.
[Of all the hosts I get I just had to get one with no sence of direction.]
'SHUT UP FOX! EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME!' She roared at him making him snicker.
'Stupid fox.' She grumbled before smiling seeing a ladder ahead.
'Might as well see where I'm at.' She sighed and started up the ladder pulling the cover back only to find herself near one of the outer clan houses.
'Oh crap!'
"Hey! What are you doing down there?" Kimiko froze as she turned to see a blonde boy looking down at her confused.
"Um. Nope!" She yelled dropping down into the sewers and made a run for it.
"HEY! Where are you going!?" She heard him call after her while she bolted.
[Really you're gonna run from that little runt?]
'That little runt could call his parents, and when he does there will be a fox hunt going down in only a few minutes. You know that Kyuubi.' She sighed zipping around a corner and hid in the shadows as he grumbled.
It wasn't long before she heard foot steps echo along with grumbling.
"Geez what's her deal? All I asked was a simple question." She heard as her eyes went wide,
'He followed me!?' She screamed in her head as she saw the boy round the corner.
She moved fast and grabbed the boy by his shirt and held a kunai to his neck.
"Why can't you people just leave me alone!" She growled before she got a palm strike to the gut and then a round house kick to the face knocking her back and into one of the gated walls.
She groaned and rubbed her head while blinking to see the sandles of the kid in front of her. She sighed and looked up to see him looking down at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Was that really called for?" He asked as she sat back on her butt and rested her arms on ther knees.
"Go ahead call the mobs then, lets get this over with. Its my birthday after all." She mumbled watching as he cocked his head to the side.
"Mobs? What are you talking about?" He asked as she blinked.
"The mobs you know? Kill the demon, finish what the fourth started all that stuff? Is any of this ringing a bell?" She asked as he just looked at her confused.
"Finish what my dad started? Are you talking about the Rasengan?" He asked as she blinked.
[Wow is this kid thick or what?]
'Shut it furball!'
[SUCH DISRESPECT!]
'THEN SHUT THE HELL UP!'
[I WILL FALY YOU ALIVE YOU LITTLE-] Kimiko cut the connection as she looked back at the kid.
"Sure kid, whatever. Listen, you didn't see me I didn't see you. I'm sure your parents are going to be worried about you." Kimiko said edging around the boy.
"Um, yeah I kinda lost track following you down here. Heh Heh." He laughed while she face faulted.
[Seriously!]
'Seriously!'
"Ugggghhhhhh! Fine I'll take you back, but don't be coming down here casing people you dont' even know. You're lucky I wasn't serious." She said glaring at him while he waved her off.
"I can handle myself." He said while she rolled her eyes as they started to back track.
"So my names Naruto Uzumaki, what's your's?" He asked as she looked back at him.
"Kimiko Mori." She said making sure to watch her surroundings.
"Kimiko huh? I've heard of that name I think. I've heard her say it a few times." He said watching Kimiko stiffen before groaning.
'Great, just what I need.' She thought as they found the ladder.
"Well here you are, don't talk to strangers and all that. Later kid." She said walking around him before he gently grabbed her arm.
"Hey wait." He felt her shutter and slow turn to him.
"What?"
"Why don't you come have dinner with us, I'm sure mom won't mind, and no offence but you could use a shower." He said holding his nose and smiling as she blushed while glaring at him.
"It's not my fault my house got fire bombed last week!" She yelled as he blinked.
"Are you serious?" He asked as she growled.
"OF COURSE I'M SERIOUS BAKA! If it wasn't for your dad none of this would have happened!" She yelled tears forming in her eyes as he glared.
"WHAT DID MY OLD MAN EVER DO TO YOU!?"
"HE PUT A DAMN DEMON IN MY GUT THAT'S WHAT!" She screamed as he looked at her shocked while she lifted her shirt while channeling a bit of her purple chakra into the seal making it show up.
"I'm a Jinchuuriki. Your dad sealed the Nine Tailed Fox in me 12 years ago. I was the only new born that day that survived the attack." She said as Naruto stared at her.
" So there, that's why I'm down here, that's why there's mobs after me, that's why my house gets vadalized every other day, that's why I get beatings all the time, and that's why I hate this damn village!" She cried turning away from the blonde.
"Then why do you stay?" He asked as she looked back giving a humorless laugh.
"Yeah right, like they would let their greatest weapon just walk out of the village." She grumbled as he looked down.
" Do you really hate the village?" He asked as she sighed.
"I don't know. I want to be a shinobi but all my test keep getting strewed up and I don't know why. I study hard all the time for them and even stay up all night sometimes just so I can pass." She sniffed sliding down the wall and plopping on her butt as he came and sat next to her.
"Why are you still here? If I told anyone else about who I was they would be getting the police or the mobs would start to chase me. Why are you different?" She asked as he smiled.
"Well I guess my mom raised me right, not to judge someone by what everyone else says they are. Come on why don't you come and take a bath and get something to eat Kimiko-san." He offered holding his hand out to the girl as she looked at it.
"What about your mom? I'm sure once she see's me, she'll try to kill me since I'm the one that killed your dad and her husband." She sighed looking back down while he crouched beside her.
"Hey, you didn't kill anyone. Kyuubi did. Don't blame yourself for what the fuzzbutt did." He said smiling as she giggled.
"Ok, but are you sure this is ok? I don't mind staying here, I got a safe house around here somewhere." She said looking around as he held out his hand again.
"I'm sure, now come on. It stinks down here." He stated as she laughed.
"Ok."
Once the two were inside Naruto showed Kimiko the bathroom and brought her a set of his clothes while he washed hers. Now he stood outside the door just getting to really know her.
"So, what's it like being a Jinchuuriki? Besides all the negitive things." He said.
"Well, I have awesome healing monsterous chakra reserves, it's why I failed the academy so many times since I just can't get the clone jutsu down." She sighed.
"Oh I can help you with that! I have the same problem it's why I failed so many times to. So my mom taught me the Shadow Clone Jutsu, I know I'm gonna pass this year." He smiled just as the water was turned off.
"Really!? But why would you help me? You don't owe me nothing, if anything I owe you a lot just for this!" She said as he chuckled.
"Nah it's cool, besides we're classmates. Aren't we?" He asked as she giggled while the door opened.
"Yeah we are." She said drying her hair not seeing the huge blush on the boys face before he turned around.
She was in some of his shorts and a sleeveless white t-shirt. Her short purple hair was frazzled from her drying it.
"Man this feels good! I haven't had a bath in days! Well unless it's in one of the streams." She mussed before placing the towel over her shoulders and looked at Naruto.
"Naruto? You ok?" She asked watching him flinch.
"U-um yeah I'm great!" He gave a nervous laugh before he turned around making sure to look at her face.
"You sure? Your face is really red, are you getting sick?"
"No, no. I'm ok." He smiled scratching the back of his head.
"NARUTO! I'm home!" Kimiko paled and began looking for a escape before Naruto took her hand.
"Hey it's ok, mom is cool. She won't mind." He smiled.
[Just in case I'll let you use some of my power if worst comes to worst. I feel my old host. She is deadly and you would have no chance without my help.] Kyuubi said as Kimiko gave a shaky nod.
"Up here mom! I got a friend I want you to meet!" He called down stairs.
"Ok well they can help with the food." She called back as Kimiko and Naruto reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Mom this is Kimiko Mori." Naruto smiled as his mother froze.
"Kimiko this is mom Kushina Uzumaki." He introduced her while Kimiko took a nervous step towards the door.
"Kimiko Mori?" She asked as the girl took another step to the door.
"Y-yes ma'am." She stuttered inching to the door before she was swept up by the red head.
"OH FINALLY! I DIDN'T THINK NARUTO WOULD EVER LOOK AT ANOTHER GIRL!" She cried burying the girls head in her chest.
"HEY!"
"So tell me sweetie, what are you guys doing here?" She asked motioning for her to help with the bags after being set down.
"..."
"Kimiko, it's rude not to answer someone when they talk to you." Kushina smiled back but stopped seeing the girl frozen with shock.
"Kimiko? Are you ok?" She asked heading over to the girl and kneeling down.
"Kimiko, what's the matter?" Naruto asked coming to her side as she shook her head.
"Sorry, I've just never had one of those before." She said as the two blinked.
"What a hug?" Naruto asked getting a nod from the girl.
"I see, well I guess with your... condition I guess not." She sighed cursing the villagers. It wasn't this poor girls fault for what happened with the village and Nine Tails.
"You mean the Kyuubi?" Naruto asked as Kushina looked at him shocked.
"Kimiko told me while we were down in the sewers." He said.
"Why were you in the sewers?" She asked looking at Kimiko.
"To get away from the mobs, today's my birthday after all." She whispered.
"Ah, so that's why you have my son's clothes on." Kushina said standing up with her hands on her hips while Kimiko nodded looking down.
"Well, I don't know about you but I'm starving and we have a birthday girl with us." She smiled while Kimiko looked at her shocked.
"Y-You don't have to do this!" Kimiko tried as Naruto put a hand on her shoulder shaking his head with a smile.
"Don't even try, once mom sets her mind to do something then it's gonna happen." He laughed.
"But why!? If you know what I have then why are you being so nice to me, I don't understand." Kimiko stated shaking her head while Kushina chuckled.
"There's nothing to really understand. I was the the fuzzbutts container before you, I know my husband hated that he had to seal him in you but you have to understand he really loves this village and its people. He's a hero, I'm sure there wasn't a second that went by that he didn't regret having to seal the demon in you." She said as she looked down.
"I thought you would hate me the most, I have what killed your husband inside me." She said as Kushina knelt down.
"Oh I know, but I see you as his prison and he is serving his time. You're a hero to you know." She smiled as Kimiko's head sprang up looking at her confused.
"How?" She asked getting a giggle from the woman.
"Easy, the fact that you aren't a Uzumaki and are holding the Nine Tails at bay speaks volumes of your will power. Any lesser child would have fallen to the demon." She smiled as Kimiko gave a small one of her own.
"He does talk to me and trys to get me to hurt them but I always refuse." She said as Kushina's eyes widened a little.
"Lift your shirt and let me see the seal." Kushin ordered as Kimiko did as she was told.
"Hm, ah there it is." Kushina said going through hand seals pushed her right hand into the seal.
"AH!"
"Hold still I'm fixing it so he can't talk to you." Kushina ordered watching as a pattern filled some of the spaces and smiled.
"There we go, sorry about that. It looks like someone tampered with the seal." Kushina said as Kimiko rubbed her stomach while the seal faded.
"Tampered with the seal?"
"Yeah it looks like someone made it to where the Kyuubi was pushing far more chakra into you than the seal could purify, thus weakening the seal all together. Its a good thing you came here or in a few months you would have had chakra poisioning." She stated just as a dull roar echoed through the hall.
"I'm hungry." Naruto and Kimiko said sheepishly as Kushina rolled her eyes.
"Alright come on, Kimiko you can help cook." The woman said as they all went to the kitchen.
After a while Kimiko leaned back with Naruto and Kushina groaning.
"Oh wow I've never had that much food before." The girl smiled patting her swollen belly.
"Yeah mom always cooks a lot for the two of us so we usually have left overs. I never thought I would meet someone that could keep up with me." He chuckled as Kushina smiled.
"Well why don't we clean this up and go relax for a while." She suggested as Kimiko looked at the clock reading ten o'clock.
"Sure."
After everything was cleaned and Naruto took the trash out the three sat on the couch talking about whatever came to mind.
"Alright guys lets get to bed, you both have school tomorrow and it's way past your bedtimes." Kushina said before she looked over at Kimiko who was looking down.
"Kimiko?" The woman got up and touched her shoulder only for the girl to shreak and jump away with wild eyes looking for a escape.
"Whoa! Hey calm down it's just me Kimiko." She said as Naruto jolted awake and looked at the panting girl.
"Kimiko? Are you ok?" He asked as she looked at him, terror in her eyes as she panted.
"Kimiko, it's Kushina, remember?" She asked as the girl looked at her in fear.
"Kushina?" She whimpered while blinking and seemed to really see the two as they looked at her concerned and worried.
"Yeah, you remember me and Naruto right?" The woman asked as the girl's breathing started to even out.
"Naruto?" She whispered before looking at the boy who was inching towards her.
"Yeah, Kimiko. You remember me right?" He asked as she looked at him before her eyes rolled in the back of her head and collasped.
Kushina was able to grab her before she hit the ground with Naruto right beside her.
"Take her to one of the guest rooms Naruto, I will be having a chat with the old monkey in the morning." Kushina growled.
'You said she was being taken care of old man.' She snarled and headed up the stairs to take a shower before heading to bed.
