Is it possible to sue ones imagination? If it is, please explain to me how.
I do not own Naruto or the song Angels by Within Temptation, I however do own Uzumaki Nikita!


You were my savior in my time of need...

Sakura stared at Nikita with her mouth wide open, her inner self going crazy.

'Wh-what the Hell?! Naruto's a girl?! He...she's been lieing to us all this time?! CHA!! SHE'S SO GOING DOWN!!'

Kakashi scratched his head again.

'Well...this is interesting.'

Sasuke's face remained emotionless but he went up to Nikita.

"Dobe?"

She raised her eyes to look at him and a weak smirk spread across her face.

"Hai Teme?"

He blinked a couple of times.

"Yep. It's Naruto."

Nikita rolled her eyes and got to her feet.

"No duh dipshit."

That's when Sakura blew up.

"ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?! WHY THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN LIEING TO US?! DO YOU NOT TRUST US OR SOMETHING?! AND WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF?!"

Nikita's face darkened and her eyes flashed with pain.

"I needed to protect myself because...because I am the host of the Kyuubi no kitsune. The fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, my father, sealed it inside of me to save the village..."

She lowered her head, waiting for all of them to start yelling at her calling her monster and freak, but to her surprise a hand rested on her head, she rolled her eyes upwards to see Kakashi's hand on her head.

"Well...I don't think there's any problem with that...is there?"

Sasuke shook his head and Sakura sighed.

"I..I guess not...it's not like your the Kyuubi..."

A smile flashed on her face.

"Arigato..."

The third Hokage cleared his throat to get everyones attention.

"Well, since Nikita's apartment was burned down last night she does need a place to stay. Does anyone have room?"

Sakura shook her head.

"Iie. I don't. Gomen."

"I do."

Sasuke spoke up which caused everyone to look at him. A scowl appeared on his face.

"What? It's just me in the Uchiha compound." Nikita shuffled her feet.

"Arigato...Teme."

A heavy uncomfortable silence settled over the room.

"How about we go out and get some ramen? My treat."

Kakashi's voice broke through the silence and Nikita managed a small grin.

"Yeah. Ramen sounds good right about now."

She turned to Sarutobi and bowed to him.

"Domo arigato Sarutobi-sensei."

Sakura grabbed Nikita's arm and pulled her out of the Hogakes office, practically ecstatic to have another girl on the team.


Upon reaching Ichiraku, Sakura ordered the diet ramen, Sasuke ordered chicken ramen, Nikita ordered miso ramen and Kakshi ordered nothing...like usual. Sasuke snuck a look over at Nikita who was quietly eating her ramen, so much unlike Naruto.

'I can't figure it out...she's so different from him. Naruto was happy-go-lucky, hyper, and a loser. But she's...she's so depressed looking. And her eyes, Kami they're filled with so much pain...wait. Why the hell do I care about that dobe?'

The Uchiha gained a scowl on his face.

After finishing their ramen they each went their separate ways.

"Bye Sasuke-kun! Bye Naru...I mean Nikita!"

Sakura waved to them before walking off in the direction of her house. Kakashi didn't say anything, he just poofed away, his face in one those disgusting novels.


When Nikita and Sasuke reached the Uchiha compound she was surprised to see how big it was.

'Wow. This is freaking HUGE!'

Nikita kicked her shoes off once inside.

"You can take the guest room. It's the one on the right of mine."

Nikita nodded.

"All right."

"So ummmm...do you want tea or something?"

The blond haired girl put a hand to her mouth and giggled softly, Sasuke looked so uncomfortable trying to be the gracious host.

"Hai. Tea sounds very good right about now."

Sasuke pointed to a room while he walked to the kitchen.

"Go and wait in there, it's the living room. And don't touch anything Dobe."

"Whatever Teme."

Nikita sat on the couch in the living room and was surprised to see a bunch of photographs on the coffee table in front of her. She pushed her bag to the side and picked up some of the photos, despite Sasuke telling her not to.

'Pffft. Since when was the last time I ever listend to Sasuke-teme?'

She looked through a bunch of the photos and saw that most of them where of Sasuke's family, all though most of them had his older brother, Uchiha Itachi blacked out or cut out of them. For some reason this made Nikita sad.

'I know that what Itachi did was horrible...but I stil think that Sasuke is making a big mistake, trying to kill the only remaining family he has. What will he gain from killing his Nii-san?'

She finally came across a photo where Itachi wasn't blacked out of it. It was then that Nikita got her first good look at the one who caused the Uchiha Massacre.

Midnight black hair pulled into a low ponytail, pale skin, coal black eyes, and lines near his eyes. He was carrying a younger Sasuke on his back and they were both smiling. Even though this was her first really good look at Itachi she got a creepy feeling that she had met him some where before. A shiver ran down her spine. The Kyuubi sensed her hosts distress and spoke with her.

What's the matter Kit?

'I dunno Kyubi-san. I...I think I've seen him before...but I don't know here or how though...it gives me the creeps.'

In her mind she could see the kitsunes fur bristling.

I sense it too Kit. I don't like this one bit.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch anything Dobe?"

Nikita's eyes widened and she let out a shrill shriek, toppling off of the couch and cracking her head on the coffee table. Everything went black.


"...obe...Dobe..hey! Can you hear me?!"

Nikita opened her eyes to see a worried looking Sasuke over her, three of them.

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

Sasuke held up three but to Nikita it looked like he was holding up nine.

"Which one of you is asking?"

She shook her head a few times and the other two Uchiha's disappeared.

"Baka. You fell off of the couch and hit your head."

"Teme! Your the one who almost gave me a heart attack!!"

"Well it wouldn't have happened if you had listened to me and not touched anything dead last."

"Well who the fuck leaves photos out in the open for anyone to look at?!"

Sasuke helped her back up on the couch and handed her a cup of tea.

They stayed silent for a little while before Nikita spoke out.

"Teme...I don't think your doing the right thing by trying to erase your brother out of your life."

She felt Sasuke stiffen up next to her and knew that she had already gone to far to turn back now.

Kit! Are you sure you know what your doing? Kit!

'Someone needs to tell him and why not me? He'll listen to me, he always has for some reason.'

Good luck Kit, your going to need it.

"Wh-what I mean is...you shouldn't be trying to kill him Sasuke. I know he did those horrible things but he's still your brother, he's still your family."

"Shut up."

Nikita almost shuddered from the amount of venom that laced his voice.

"You don't know anything Uzumaki!"

"Oh I don't? I think I know enough to say that your making a big mistake!"

The next thing Nikita knew she was pushed up against a wall and had a very pissed off looking Sasuke in her face.

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT!!"

Nikita's shoulders drooped.

"You right Teme, I don't know. But believe it or not, I envy you."

A cry came from her throat when Sasuke pushed her even further into the wall. She felt the Kyuubi's demon chakra flare angrily.

'Kyuubi-san no! Let me do this on my own!'

Reluctantly the chakra pulled back.

"I'd do anything to be you right now! Your so lucky whether you realize it or not! Be thankful that you got to have a life with your parents! At least you have memories...at least you got to have your Tou-san teach you jutsu's, at least you had your Kaa-san tuck you in at night, at least you had a Nii-san that looked after you! Even if you don't have them anymore you still have memories...I have nothing. I would give anything to just experience that sort of kindness for even a day. So go and touch a fox and thank Kami that you had the chance to know them."

Sasuke took a few moments to let Nikita's words sink in before he dropped her and went to his room to think. His anger ebbing away until just confusion remained.


Wow! Eventful chapter! Just a little note. When Nikita said "So go and touch a fox and thank Kami that you had the chance to know them." I was referring that a long time ago in Japan people had their own personal lucky animals and to touch one is almost like saying a prayer to God. I think...Feh, who knows when it comes to me. And yes, Kyuubi no kitsune is a girl. Remember! I need ideas for my other two stories! Flames will be doused by my water powers. Persistent flamers will be pelted by hail.
