Waking The Demon; Sasuke Uchiha Story
**Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the Naruto Characters. The only characters I own are Akki and Aiku**
~Things you'll need to know before you read~
1. This story takes place in the beginning of Naruto.
2. I'm sorry if the dialogue isnt perfect. Im changing it up a bit so that Akki's personality can fit. And Akki's not going to say something that Sakura would originally say,
Akki's clan was killed; the only survivors were Akki Akita and her brother, Aiku Akita.
3. Akki's clan was killed; the only survivors were Akki Akita and Aiku Akita.
4. Almost everyone believes that the siblings murdered their own village.
5. Akki is 12; her brother is 17.
6. Akki and Aiku started training at an early age, giving them an advantage against other people their age.
7. Akki is a genin, Aiku is a chuunin.
8. Akki is an avenger, even though Aiku encourages her to forget about it.
9. Shikamaru Nara and Naruto Uzumaki are her best friends. Shikamaru for no obvious reason but Naruto because he reminds her of how she, herself used to be.
10. Is just like Naruto, besides personality and gender. She has the same deep aqua blue eyes that change color and her hair is blonde, only not as yellow-ish as Naruto's is, and her hair is streaked with brunette. She, too, has a demon spirit sealed inside of her, except it's not one of the tailed demons, although it is just as powerful, if not more. The demon is a giant wolf called Okuri, who killed/injured half of several villages. Akki and Okuri work as one; and Okuri is not nearly as evil as she is said to be.
11. It seems as if Akki isnt affected at all by her villages massacre. It does, she just hides all of her emotions.
*Third Person's POV*
A continuous thudding of bare feet against the ground could be heard in the dead silence of the night. It was an eerie silence; no sound could be heard, not even the occasional scuffling of an animal trying to play it safe by lurking in the night or even the wind rustling the leaves of the trees surrounding them. Only the dull thudding and fast, uneven breathing. It was like a horror movie, the part where the victim is attempting to escape his or her doom. And to the people who were running, it was a horror movie.
"Keep moving," A voice commanded. The voice was soft and gentle; so caring, yet so dull. So full of hatred and determination, but so exhausted. There was no answer immediately from the boy's companion, his sister. He hated seeing her so angry.. so.. depressed. Someone so young- no, no one should have to watch their family, friends, rivals, enemies, everyone, be brutally murdered. No one should have to watch their life fall right before their eyes, and be too helpless to support it.
"I am," A second voice answered. The voice, it was empty and filled with pain, along with too many emotions to describe. Anger for being so helpless; sorrow for her loss; determination to find the people who killed off her clan and avenge their deaths; hate for the people who killed her friends and family; and even slight fear for her life. But then again, who wouldnt be scared after witnessing a massacre.
The girl's brother looked at his sister sympathetically, detecting her fear. As expected, he offered his sympathy. He put a hand on her shoulder as he caught up to her, to stop her from running. "Akki," He mumbled. "You'll be okay. Nothing will happen to you, I swear. I'll protect you with my life, as long as I can." The boy promised. The girl, Akki, knew that her brother never broke his promise, and gladly accepted his sympathetic ways, as he hugged her.
"Aiku," Akki looked up at her brother. "Thank you. For everything."
Chapter One
The two siblings now stood at the gate of Konoha, after the roughly 2 hour trek to get there. It was roughly 7:00 am by now, and already people were scurrying around, awake. The two had just been stopped at the gates into the village by the two guards. But it was no surprise to the siblings; both of them were covered in blood and weapon clad.
"Who are you?" The first guard demanded, standing up and blocking the way into the village, the second one hurrying to do the same.
"We-" Aiku started, only to be cut off by Akki.
"Why do you need to know?" Akki growled. Who were they to be able to question them?
The two ninja were stunned into silence. Who was she to talk to them, two jounin, like that, when she was probably just out of the academy- if that? Akki received a scolding glare from Aiku; though he was thoroughly worried for her. What had happened to that sweet little angel who was always happy, and ready to please? She used to be the normal happy, respectful girl, with the exception of being more skilled than others her age.
Looking at Akki, Aiku realized that Okuri was present. Around her pupil, it was dark navy, a color close to black, the color of Okuri's eyes.. when she isnt angry. When Okuri gets angry and is present, Akki's eyes turn blood red, the color of an angry Okuri's eyes. Right now, it seemed that Okuri was calm and at peace. That much was good. But still, it wouldnt matter if Okuri was mad, Akki was surprisingly skillful at controlling the spirit, chakra and strength of Okuri. Only when Akki got extremely angry, would she take the chakra that Okuri is always happy to lend to her. It was extremely rare to see when Okuri completely took over Akki's body, and that was only when Akki was on the verge of life or death. When that happens, or even when Akki is extremely angry or determined, it is easy to tell. Even the ordinary human eye can see the chakra, the color of fire, surrounding and protecting Akki's body, making her invincible. The chakra forms the shape of the wolf.
"Please excuse my sister," Aiku apologized. "She has an acceptable reason to be acting this way. However, we need to speak with your Hokage, as soon as possible." Aiku declared. He dared not to mention the sudden murder of the village, afraid that it would send Akki over the edge, making her embrace the wolf's chakra and strength, and making her lose control, possible ending with Akki going on a killing spree. Aiku had heard of the nine-tailed fox, heard that he lived in this village, sealed inside a boy around Akki's age. But Aiku knew that the nine-tailed fox could not stop the wolf. After all, Okuri was the strongest demon any ninja had come upon.
"Very well. I will take you to the Hokage," The first one, who Akki would later find out was Genma, declared.
*Akki's POV*
I could feel Okuri's presence nudging at my mind gently, encouragingly, and my face became solemn as I allowed her to take over a small portion of my mind. Okuri and I worked well together; together, we were nearly unbeatable. If I had trouble with something, then she excels at it. If she had trouble with anything, then I was good at it. She was my closest friend, my family. No one understood me like she did. I understood her, too. She could talk to me, just like a normal human could talk to me.
Looking up, I realized that Aiku and the guard were already walking. I ran after them, looking around. From what I understood, if Hokage agrees, this would be our new home. People stared at Aiku and I, both in fear and in wonder, as I glared at them. I couldnt do anything else about it, however, if they made one wrong move..
"Akki," Aiku's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. From the scolding look on his face, he knew what I had been thinking about. Oops. I didnt answer him; right now, I honestly didnt feel like getting yelled at.
"Here we are," announced Genma. "Stay here. I'll alert the Hokage." Genma stated, before disappearing into some double doors, after knocking of course. A few minutes later, which seemed like hours, the Hokage announced for us to come in.
"Sit down," The old man encouraged; the man who I assumed was Hokage. We both did as we were told, as expected. "Now, care to explain why you are in my office, covered in blood, so early in the morning?" He asked, smiling kindly.
"Of course, sir." Aiku confided politely. "It is heard to tell, yes, but our village was attacked and massacred early this morning, around 2:00 am. We were the only survivors, my sister and I. We are in need of a new home."
Sheer pain and terror etched onto my face as I remembered what happened only hours ago. My eyes became dark, Okuri's doing. Okuri was fuming inside. She wanted to find the people who killed our village and avenge their deaths just as much as I did.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Of course you can stay here. Its a good thing we have one apartment open, is that okay? Anyways, whats your names? And how did you two survive?"
"I'm Akki." I introduced. "And this is my older brother, Aiku." I paused. "How we lived? Well, that's easy.. that is, if you know me." Once again, I paused. "I have a demon spirit in me. Okuri, the wolf. She protected us. I couldnt save the rest of my clan, they were all dead by the time I became consious." I admitted. The truth was, I had passed out the night before after too much endurance training with Okuri.
Hokage gasped in surprise. "Ahhh. Okuri, the wolf. I do not see how such a thing could live on in such a sweet young girl like you." He said sincerely. My eyes immediately began to glow a bit red. No one insults my friends without getting hurt.
He just made a huge mistake, insulting Okuri like that.
