Kage: My first story. This a oneshot that will lead to a crossover with Rockman and CCS. Enjoy!

Sildow: Kage does not own Naruto. She does own the mysterious girl.


I watched as all my memories appeared before my eyes. All the hatred, all the anger, everything. I felt them turn into power. I looked up.

"Who are you?" I ask. The girl just smiled.

"You know who I am," she replied. Once she did, I realized that I did.

"Are you ready to accept your true destiny?"

I thought about my home, or the place I called a home. It was full of hatred for me. All because of the Yondaime. The Kyuubi should have destroyed that place when it had the chance.

'You actually want that?' a voice said in my mind. It was him. The reason for my pain, my suffering.

I thought about what he said. 'Yes, I do. But I have a destiny. The question is, will I accept it?'

'That was supposed to be my line!' Kyuubi replied, but I didn't answer. I had to think.

I watched the rest of my memories. Sasuke, the so called avenger, leaving everything behind him for power and revenge. He was treated like royalty and left. Why hadn't I?

Sakura, the girl I had a crush on. But that crush was never real, just in place to help my mask. Besides, she was too obsessed with her precious Sasuke-kun to think about me.

Kakashi-sensei, my perverted teacher. Why am I stuck with perverts as teachers? Anyway, all he cared about was training Sasuke, never me. What has he ever taught me? How to climb a tree. Like that would ever help me.

Iruka-sensei. The only person who seemed to care for me, but it could have always been a mask. It had to be. Kyuubi killed his parents.

'And proud of it, kit,' Kyuubi said in the back of my mind.

'Be quiet, baka fox,' I replied.

I returned to my memories. Where was I? Oh, Iruka. He seemed nice, but I can't trust him. He's not a Watcher.

Haku. If only he hadn't died. He knew how to find the truth in everyone, the good side. Even if he looked like a girl.

Zabuza. The Demon of the Bloody Mist. He was no demon, but he was a master of silent killing. Another person who should have never died.

Sarutobi. The Hokage. My mask always called him the Old Man. But he couldn't be trusted. I would rather trust Itachi, then him.

'Of course you would. He is Yami's…' Kyuubi said.

'True,' I answered.

Hinata. That idiotic girl was always stuttering. If she could get over her weakness, she would be really strong. Oh well. Not my problem.

Jiraiya. Ero-Sennin. That pervert. He was one of the few that could be trusted, but until he was a truly qualified Watcher, I could tell him nothing.

Tsunande. Obaa-chan. My mask seems to enjoy thinking up nicknames. Or it could be a glitch. Of course, she was another that could be trusted at times. But only at certain times. Until she becomes a Watcher, we will have to see.

Shizune. Tsunande's assistant. She was helpful, but still weak. Just a pawn in my little game.

'Now it's a game. I never knew.'

'Of course you wouldn't. Have you been talking to Sly?'

'No. Why?'

'You're acting like him.'

'Oh.'

Who's next? Gaara. The Kazekage. The vessel of Ichibi no Shukaku. He is very useful. Might become a watcher.

My memories stopped. I turned around. She looked at me.

"So what is your answer?"

"I accept my destiny. I will become the Prince of Shadows."

She grins. "Excellent." She snapped her fingers and we disappeared into the shadows.


Kage: It was short, but I hope it was okay.

Sildow: Read and Review!

Keeper: That was interesting. The other two oneshots, Princess of Light and Prince of Darkness, will be up in their correct categories by the end of the week. Please read and review them as well!
