This next chapter is going to change a lot of the story line because of my new character. I'll give you a hint- it has something to do with the Akasuki. You'll find out soon enough. -

Claimer: This is MY storyline. All who copy will be banned from It even said so in the TOS (imagine hearing my claimer instead of reading it. Imagine the person saying it having a snotty attitude. What did you come up with? I came up with PITCHFORK TIME!!!)(And that was lame. Very lame.)

Chapter two: Our mission; your scrolls

Team 7 was getting close to their target. Each member was able to sense the chakra of the girl they were supposed to meet. They found her lying against a tree with kunai in her back. She wasn't unconscious, just tired. 'Wow…' thought Naruto. '…what happened to HER?' She began to speak. "I have the scrolls. Take me to Konoha- don't worry about the kunai in my back-I have to give these to your Hokage personally." She didn't look up, she just stared at the ground.

"Alright then," Kakashi said with an unusual tone. "Let's go. If we run at full speed, we should make it by tomorrow morning. Naruto, after Sakura pulls the kunai out of her back and bandage her up, carry her." "Sensei, why do I have to carry her!?!" He said crudely. "Shouldn't SASUKE-TEME do it!?!" Sasuke scoffed at his teammate and Sakura immediately gave Naruto a bump on his head. "YOU IDIOT!!! HOW COULD YOU BE SO CRUEL!?! QUIT DISRESPECTING MASTOR KAKASHI!!!" In the mist of their minor fight, the girl laughed. She laughed a sorrowful laugh, a laugh of pain and guilt. Everyone looked at her. "We really should get going. I want to talk to your Hokage." That's what she said, but 'Let's get this over with' was what she thought.

The next day Gai and The Third Hokage were waiting for Kakashi to return. For once, Gai wasn't talking about youthfulness- maybe because he was worried about his Hokage. Instead he was reading up on team7. While he read the scrolls, Gai tried to analyze in is mind what was wrong with his master. 'Why's he so quiet? Does it have something to do with the scrolls? Hmmm…'Gai's thoughts were interrupted by Naruto's loud cries of victory-that was enough for the youth rant to begin. "NARUTO!!!" The sensei shouted as team 7 walked in the room. "YOUR YOUTHFULNESS SHINES LIKE AMILLION SUNS!!!!!" Everyone sweat-dropped. "Uh, yeah…" Naruto began, exasperated. Then he whispered to his sensei, asking "Kakashi sensei, who is this guy and how does he know my name?" Kakashi then changed the subject. "We have the girl." The third responded, "Good job team 7, and remember Kakashi," "Yes, Lord Hokage?" "Don't forget your paper work." "Yes, Lord Hokage."

After team7-along with Gai- left the room, the girl walked over to the Hokage. He noticed the desperate look on her face. She looked him dead in the eyes and he did the same. He observed the girl closely before speaking. She had long, dark blue hair- the same color as Hinata's. She also had ocean blue eyes. Her clothes were similar to Haku's civilian outfit-though the Hokage would never know. He noticed the holes in the back of her blue kimono. Everything about her was blue; from her cloths to her personality. It bothered the Hokage. The silence bothered him also, and she was a quiet as a butterfly.

"…What…is your name?" "Zakuro of the hidden Rain." "What is your title?" "Genin." "How old are you?" "I'll be 13 in September." "Do you have all three scrolls?" "Yes." Zakuro simply handed him the scrolls and sat down in a chair that she created with a water jutsu. He was amused that she'd do so, but wondered why when there was a chair right next to her.

While reading the first scroll, the Hokage breathed a sigh of relief. Zakuro wasn't sure why, because she didn't know what the first scroll said. The second scroll indicated that she was joining the hidden leaf as a liaison between The Leaf and The Hidden Rain. The third scroll was shocking, because it claimed that Zakuro was the jinchūriki of Nibi no Nekomata the two-tailed demon cat. He immediately dropped the scroll.

"H-how is this…even…possible? Is this some kind of joke?!" "No. It's complicated, but accurate. Yugito wasn't captured, but her clone was. Yugito's clone 'died' when the fake two-tailed demon cat was sealed. Even to this day, the Akasuki don't know that they only have a clone of the demon. Instead, they believe that they hold 7 of the tailed beast in their possession, where in reality, they only hold 6.

"To keep the Akasuki from their goal, Yugito made a clone of herself. After the clone was destroyed, they extracted the real demon from Yugito and placed it inside of me. No one knew, because I had such control over the demon's chakra, I was able to seal it's presence away. To this day, no one has been able to sense the demon inside of me.

'I'm a blessing, yet I am a curse…'

The Hokage stumbled on his words. He saw how long her nails were and noticed small ears peering out from her headband. Those things alone help him believe the girl. "Go…find…Kakashi. Tell him that you are temporarily on his team." She nodded and walked away.

'A blessing I am, a curse I am.

I am both. I hurt. I hurt so much.

It's a burden to be a blessing,

But an even bigger burden to be a curse.

I hurt the most…

Because he's not here to protect me.

He's not here to love me.

He's not here to watch me hurt.

Are you watching me?

Do I please you?

Can you tolerate my presence?

Am I just a fool?

If I must be a fool,

I'm the fool who fell for you.'

(A/N)

I really loved that chappy. (SQUEALS 4 JOY!!! XD) I hope you did too. It was really emotional for Me.(Ha ha, maybe I should be the Zakuro in my story!-) Please review.
