Hey Everyone! I'm actually tying this chapter right after the first chapter because I'm bored, but I haven't posted anything yet, so I'm just going to continue typing. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto… Do I need to repeat myself?


Chapter 2 – Inner Demons

"Kyuubi?" Shikamaru said. All the members of the group already knew about the secret that concerned Naruto, but none of them ever really thought about it. Naruto sighed and closed his eyes, bringing his soul to the cage within him where the fox demon was sealed.

'What does the girl want from us?' Kyuubi questioned from within the cage.

'I don't know, but I get a strong feeling about her. It's like I know her,' he answered. The giant fox demon lay down with its head on its paws. Over the years, Naruto and Kyuubi had become friends.

Naruto snapped out of his daze when he noticed that the girl was slowly approaching him. Neji and Sasuke both pounced on her before she got too close to their friend.

"What are you doing!" she exclaimed angrily. They made sure that she was unable to move and brought her to the Hokage's office.

"Who's she?" Tsunade asked when she saw the girl. She reminded Tsunade of Naruto for some strange reason.

"She won't tell us her name," Kiba said.

"That's because you aren't worth my time!" the girl objected. The Hokage sighed and gently observed the girl.

"What's your name?" she asked politely. The stranger pushed away those that were holding her and gave the Hokage a small bow.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Hokage-sama. My name is Fuyu… Fuyu Uzumaki," she stated. The room went quiet.

"Uzumaki?" Naruto repeated, "But how?"

Fuyu sighed and turned towards the ninja.

"I'm actually your twin. On the day we were born, it was said that Kyuubi attacked the village. When I was born, which was after you, I had no heartbeat or pulse. They made a small coffin and threw me into the river. All the information about my birth was inside of it with me. A few minutes down the river, my heartbeat came to life and I began to cry. An old couple found me and raised me. They only recently told me about my real family," she explained. Suddenly her expression turned serious.

"There is also something important I must speak with you about privately," Fuyu added. Tsunade signalled the others to leave, but only Sasuke and Naruto stayed behind. Fuyu glared at Sasuke with mistrust.

"It's okay…he's my friend," Naruto stated. Fuyu turned back to the Hokage and took a deep breath.

"The day the couple found me there was an attack on the village. The small village that belonged to the couple that found me was attacked by a demon. It was a female demon name Hatchibi," she explained.

'That's my sister! Though we're of different species, but it doesn't matter,' Kyuubi explained happily.

'Be quiet!' Naruto replied.

"Anyways… they needed a sacrifice and the only child they could use was me. I live with the Hatchibi sealed within my body, like my brother and the Kyuubi. My foster parents died recently and I came to find my brother," Fuyu added. Naruto smiled and turned to the girl.

"I have a sister!" he exclaimed happily as he lunged at the girl. They hugged each other and Naruto turned to Sasuke.

"Isn't it amazing Sasuke! I've finally found someone from my family!" Naruto cheered. He turned back to Fuyu and Sasuke felt a spark of jealousy that was directed at Fuyu. Suddenly Naruto's laughter snapped him out of his daze.

"This is my best friend Sasuke Uchiha. He's been with me for a long time. He's like a brother to me, so let's just say that he's part of the family," Naruto said. Sasuke felt a warm sensation in his chest.

'Naruto always finds a way to cheer me up,' he thought. Sasuke bowed to Fuyu.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," he greeted. Fuyu smiled, showing a pair of sharp fangs.

"Well, I'm just happy to be back with my family…especially since I'm a demon's host. I've always been treated with malice and mistrust. It's nice to finally find someone to talk to," she mumbled sadly. Tsunade sighed and put her elbows on the desk.

"Well, it's certain that she will not be separated from Naruto. She will have to go to the Hidden Village of Sand with you. Where do you come from, Fuyu?" she questioned. Fuyu looked a little nervous then sighed.

"I come from a nameless village from the east. We were never bothered by anyone and it was rare that traveler found us. It was a very peaceful village," she answered. Tsunade gave the girl a suspicious look.

"You're 20 right? Did you have a job at your other village?" she asked. Fuyu remained silent.

"I'm a mercenary and a sword master. I had a job as a blacksmith and I'd say that my work was pretty good," she finally responded as she went into her bag. She pulled out a small sword in its scabbard. Fuyu passed the weapon to the Hokage so she could inspect it. Tsunade closely observed the blade and then smiled.

"This is perfect craftsmanship. You've put many details into the blade to give it a beautiful, but dangerous look. The metal is strong and durable too," she stated. Tsunade handed the weapon back to Fuyu and she strapped into her back.

"I have others, but they're in my other back which was left in front of the building because it couldn't fit through the door," she said. Tsunade smiled at the new girl.

"When you come back from the visit to Sand, I'll permit you to open a shop," she said. Fuyu smiled.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed. Then the three of them left the room. Naruto brought Fuyu to his apartment and Sasuke went home to back some of his things. As soon as they entered the apartment, Fuyu put down her bags and sat down on the couch.

"It's very kind of you to let me stay until I can find my own place," she stated. Naruto smiled and took a small bad of his own. He filled it with clothes and weapons for the trip. Fuyu also took a smaller bag to put some of her things in. She had attached a long sword to her back to replace the small one and watched her brother finish packing. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Naruto shouted. The door opened to reveal Iruka and Kakashi. Both teachers smiled warmly at Naruto, not noticing Fuyu's presence.

"We heard a strange rumor," they said.

What is it?" Naruto answered.

"I heard that there's a girl that came to the village claiming to be your younger sister," Iruka said. Fuyu approached the two men from behind and tapped them on the shoulder. They both turned around, completely surprised. Both of them hadn't been able to sense her presence.

"They aren't rumours," she stated to the shocked men.
