Chapter 4: Of Woman-Hood And Kyuubi's Feelings
A/N: Ok I realized I didnt really get to to much womanhood type stuff last chapter so I'll try to this chapter :P
Warning: Some talk about feminine stuff if you know what I means.
As soon as Naruko's form disappeared from her mind-scape Kyuubi's enraged features turned into one of sadness, depression and the horrible feeling of rejection. He gave a deep sigh and walked to the edge of the large lake before sinking to his knees while staring at his reflection.
"How could I have been so naïve? To actually believe she would return my feelings...Bah! I am a thousand year old demon lord and she is a mere fourteen year old female mortal...that will certainly never change the fact...that she could never care for me in the way I do for her...And yet I'm so conflicted...She's not my kin by blood yet a part of me can't help but view her as my daughter... Kami why must I be so damn conflicted... If only I hadn't lost my first and only lover and mate *sigh*" Kyuubi growled as his reflection in the water morphed into a picture of a smugly smirking Sasuke. Enraged, the demon lord swiped his claws at the reflection, effectively disfiguring the now churning waters. 'It's him who she likes...even if she does not wish to admit it...I Can read her not only her mind but her subconscious and her heart...The brat is in denial but her heart belongs to that undeserving Uchiha brat! So help me if he hurts he will suffer such fury as he never imagined! That emo bastard doesn't even deserve her' An eerie and echoing silence reverberated through the now darker looking mindscape as a twisted plan began to take form in Kyuubi's mind, spelling doom for all...
~Training Field Five~
Naruko's eyes slowly opened with tears still sliding down her cheeks as she noted that 1. She was lying on her back again and 2. Sakura, Kakashi and the others (except for Sasuke) were looking at her with relief and slight worry in their eyes. Even Misaki seemed genuinely concerned as Sakura scooted closer towards the slightly trembling girl while attempting to lay a hand on her shoulder.
"Naruko...are you alright? …. You passed out-" before Sakura could even get to finish her concerned...interrogation the blonde kitsune gently grabbed her hand, effectively stopping the arm's descent.
"No , Sakura...I'm fiinee..." she slurred weakly before her eyes rolled into her head and her body slumped. Sakura gasped as she quickly gripped Naruko's shoulders before the blonde could collapse. Her lidded eyes momentarily wavered as she stared up at the concerned shinobi from her position in the kneeling Sakura's arms. "...I guess...I'm not fine after all...sorry..." the loudmouth kunoichi muttered before slipping into blissful unconsciousness.
"Fuck...she's out...Alright training is on pause for now. We'll get Naruko checked into the hospital first then you two meet back here fifteen minutes after alright? Take that time to relax and clear your minds. Sakura, you'll be facing me first and then you both will begin Taijutsu training with Misaki...understood?" Ken ordered and the concerned genin gave a small nod before the brunette gently took Naruko into his arms. The group of ninja quickly disappeared but no one noticed Naruko's agonized features or the whimper of pain that escaped her lips as they sped through the treetops with wild abandon.
~ Konoha Hospital~
Ken, still cradling the unconscious blonde in his arms, burst through the hospital doors followed by the rest of the worried shinobi group. The nurse at the front desk looked up, startled at the sudden commotion only to see several Jonin along with three Genin, albeit one was unconscious. Upon closer inspection the nurse held in a snort of disgust but did not hide her repulsed sneer as she recognized the three whisker marks on the blonde kunoichi's cheeks.
'So its true...the demon brat actually is a girl...hmph probably just a whore like that red haired mother of hers...'
"Hey mind helping us out here? My student just collapsed and I think it could be chakra exhaustion-"
"Psh, get lost already! We don't treat such things in here...the demon would be better off dead anyways-" the orange haired nurse butt in rudely as she cast another glare at the unconscious blonde before she was cut off by a kunai which barely nicked her neck, scaring the woman into silence. She backed away as she quivered fearfully under the glares of the shinobi before her but more so from the murderous one of an enraged and furious Sasuke as well as a certain pair ready with an oversized sword and senbon respectively. The frightened nurse nervously looked around and realized that they were making a scene, some doctors, nurses and patients staring on in slight confusion.
"What was that? I don't think I heard you properly..." Sasuke hissed angrily as he activated the incomplete Sharingan and glared viciously at the now scared shitless nurse.
"Answer carefully or this time I won't miss!" Sakura growled out as she backed Sasuke up and actually pulled out another kunai. Misaki gave a dark grin as she too pulled out a couple shuriken while Kakashi also glared with his now uncovered Sharingan. Ken trembled with barely contained fury as his grip on the blonde teen tightened protectively. Asuma pulled out his knuckle blade things (1) Anko Pulled out a pair of Kunai as well while Haku pulled out a few extra senbon in each hand his killer intent slowly growing. The nurse shook in fear as she stared at the enraged group that looked dead serious on fulfilling their threat before...
"That won't be necessary..." Sasuke and the others froze in shock and they all turned around only to see the fuming and enraged Third Hokage surrounded by five ANBU agents who suddenly appeared behind the nurse and roughly handcuffed her arms behind her back. The orange haired woman spluttered pathetically as she tried to create excuses, all the while attempting to free herself from her captors.
"B-but Lord Hokage...I...I..."
"I nothing! You have broken my law to speak freely about that...thus Kimura Aoi (2)...you will be sentenced to life imprisonment but starting now you will have a week long torture session with Mitarashi Anko and Morino Ibiki. ANBU...get that woman out of my sight!" the aged man declared with a glint of remorse in his eyes before he covered it up with a stoic expression. The orange haired woman flailed weakly in the shinobi's tight grips but to no avail as the Hokage signaled to the only female in the team and she quickly knocked the struggling Aoi out before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
** Some Control room in an undisclosed location***
A cloaked ninja (3) Looked at a monitor as she laughed her ass off. "Ahhaaahahahaha thats right don't screw with Naruko! Damn close minded villagers"
"Ahem boss shouldn't we get back to the story now... After all we really don't have any parts no more" said a second female off screen.
"Hey you didn't even have a part in the first place now hush and go fetch my Iced Mocha Latte my useless assistant! Oh and as for the story.. Here... Story Jutsu!"
*** Back At the Hospital****
"Lord Hokage...I see you received my summon and the note..." Ken sighed as the elderly man nodded before leading the group through the now bustling hospital staff who put the still unconscious blonde on a gurney. Quickly the nurses and doctors rushed Naruko into an examination room while Sarutobi took the group of confused and still angered shinobi into the main office of the hospital.
~Main Office~
"I apologize to you all for having to see such a spectacle...I had no idea the hospital staff even behaved this way towards young Naruko..." Hiruzen sighed as he took a long drag from his ever present tobacco pipe, making Sakura cough slightly from the smoke.
"That ungrateful bitch! The one person who protected the village and still is...is the one who they choose to hate...If their precious Fourth Hokage didn't seal that monster into her this village would have burned to the ground! But still they...they treat her like shit and she just sits there and takes it!" Sasuke roared as he angrily punched hole into the nearby wall. Sakura winced slightly at his tone and anger, along with the Hokage and Ken, understanding his feelings of anger. The other Jonin present silent agreed as they shared silent knowing looks with each other.
"Unfortunately the villagers don't see it that way...if sensei were here he would be ashamed at their blatant disregard of his final wishes..." Kakashi muttered with an undertone of hatred at the villagers along with remorse and sadness at the mention of the late Fourth Hokage. Hiruzen sighed as he took another puff from his pipe.
"Either way I have decided to appoint a personal doctor for Naruko she is one of the people I trust most and has no problem with Naruko's tenant... Unfortunately however I'm afraid that she will have to be tracked down first... That however is a different matter altogether...Until she is located I have an acceptable substitute how is also ok with Naruko's tenant." he paused as a loud knocking on the oak door echoed through the room. "Ah! Here she is now. Come in!" Sarutobi took another pull from his pipe as the others turned to the door.
In walked a teenage girl around 17 standing 5 ft 8 with purple hair and green emerald like eyes, a decent bust and overall nice body. Sasuke tried to fight down a blush looking at her in her slightly revealing nurses outfit.
"A-A-Are you serious? She's not that much older than us" said Sakura "CHA And she's better looking too damn it" whined inner Sakura.
"Ahem.. Don't let her looks deceive you... Not only is she a highly skilled Kunoichi and already a Jonin at her age but she is also a highly skilled medical ninja" said the Third Hokage as he took another puff of his pipe.
"Ahem.. The names Crystal (3) got it brats so shut up and show some respect" said the annoyed teen.
~Naruko's Mindscape~
Naruko groaned as she opened her eyes and slowly got to her knees. Suddenly the blonde stopped all movement as a feeling of dread and pure malice washed over her. The stunned Uzumaki looked around the once beautiful landscape only to realize that it had taken on a much more desolate and dark atmosphere. Cautiously, Naruko rose to her feet and scanned the barren wasteland before something clicked in her already confused mind...Where was Kyuubi? Her blue eyes widened before they narrowed as a revelation of sorts crossed her mind. Kyuubi was causing this! Wherever he was hiding...she'd get to the bottom of what he was plotting.
"Foolish girl..." Naruko froze but instantly spun around only to find nothing behind her. She gave a small gasp as she saw a dark shadow quickly run through the charred trees at her right but then disappear and suddenly rush on her left. Naruko tried to keep her emotions in check as Kyuubi continued to be everywhere at once, successfully confusing the troubled girl. From his hiding place the demon lord smirked as he closed in on his 'prey'.
"Kyuubi...what are you doing? I...if this is about before...I didn't mean to just freeze up but I-"
"Silence!" the red head shouted with fury angrily and Naruko jumped in fright. She spun around only to see the enraged demon lord standing right behind her. Naruko shook her head desperately as she took a cautious step forward. The red head looked at her with swirling emotions; the most dominant one, frustration, was clearly shown on his face.
"It's obvious to me that you have feelings for that arrogant Uchiha brat, right Naruko?" he growled out in a low voice void of any emotion.
"N-no, Kyuubi...It's not like that! I don't like him...I don't..." the blonde Kunoichi replied weakly with a blush as she willed herself not to cry. Finally she closed what little distance between herself and Kyuubi as she stood before the silent demon lord. His bangs shadowed his eyes and Naruko cautiously looked up at the taller man. "Kyuub-" before the concerned call could even leave her lips the red haired demon lord grabbed her face and squeezed her cheeks in his palm. Blue eyes stared wide at his frightening red orbs. He held her cheeks tightly in the palm of his hand as an evil smirk surfaced on his face. He stared intensely into her beautiful eyes, as if he was trying to search for something but a devilish grin appeared on his face.
"And you think I'm going to believe such lies! You do have feelings for that putrid scum. I can read your thoughts, subconscious and your heart. Your'e developing feelings for that emo bastard! You even degraded yourself in his presence during training before" Kyuubi spat his voice full of venom as his grip on the struggling blonde tightened, making her whimper in pain and more so, fear.
Nariko tried her best to push him away, but his body just wouldn't budge. She was beginning to understand just how powerful Kyuubi was. She could feel the red chakra his body was emitting; it was overcoming her with its dark powers.
"No I don't… It's not like that..." but before she could say anymore the red head put his index finger to her lips to silence her. He then leaned over her, making her eyes widen in fear.
"It doesn't matter Naruko because I Promise I'll make sure NO ONE EVER Hurts you like I know that vegence obsessed brat will surely do...one way or another..."he purred into her ear sending chills down her spine. Then without hesitation hekissed her on the forehead. "No one will toy with my kits emotions and get away with it!"
she used all her strength to break free from his tight grip. She pushed him in the chest as hard as she could, and he stumbled back a few steps.
"Kyuubi what the hell has gotten into you?" she yelled as the red haired demon lord licked his lips with a dark look in his eye.
"Nothing… I'm just protecting the one... the one I care about most right now!"
~Konoha Hospital-Room 205~
Crystal stared wordlessly at the sleeping blonde on the bed as the other shinobi were scattered across the room. Her hazel eyes looked towards the door as the elderly Hokage and the head doctor were sharing some hushed words; no doubt they were of Naruko's condition and the reason as to why she was even in the hospital.
"C'mon Naruto...say something..." Sakura muttered under her breath as she sat vigilantly at the blonde's bedside while Sasuke quietly flanked the chair to her (Naruko's) left.
Crystal narrowed her eyes as her medical experience showed barely noticeable signs of fatigue, labored soft breathing and small tremors running through the blonde's unconscious body.
'Something's amiss here...this isn't right or natural...' the busty teen thought analytically as she stepped closer towards the prone Naruko. Crystal's eyes widened as she saw a small wisp of red Chakra flare across Naruko's form and hazel orbs narrowed in understanding. 'Kyuubi...'
~Naruko's Mindscape~
"What! What the hell do you mean by that?" Naruko demanded hotly as she angrily wiped her forehead.
"Heh...it means exactly what it sounds like...I've been with you since your birth...I know your fears, your weaknesses, your emotions, your thoughts...I know everythingthere is to know about you, little Naruko..." the red haired demon replied with a smug smirk as he took a small step forward, making the blonde in turn, take a reclusive step back.
"And what the hell gave you the impression that I could even like that bastard let alone manage to love him? Get real, Kyuubi! You may have been with me from birth but don't act as if we're close...we aren't even friends you insane fox!" Naruko shot back angrily as she tried her best to mask her true feelings. 'Heh...get real baka...why bother lying to myself? I'm...in love with Him...Sasuke-teme...but I can't...I don't want to hurt him...Or be hurt by him'
"Pft...don't try to fool me Naru-Chan...I've seen the looks he gives you when no one's looking and you just pretend not to notice them...it disgusts me...that Uchiha looks at you like a piece of MEAT! Get it through your extra thick head that the only thing he'll ever see you for is another bitch he can use to revive his oh so special clan! Someone needs to get his mind on other things! It's always revive my clan this, revive my clan that! Kill Itachi and revive the greatest clan ever to its former glory" Kyuubi roared and mocked with mixed emotions as Naruko's eyes widened in shock and her mouth opened slightly before her eyes narrowed in anger.
"What the hell do you know? How can you be so sure HUH! Sasuke isn't like that so don't talk about him like you know him!" the blonde fired back furiously as her eyes began to flicker between blue and red.
"BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT! When he first found out about your true power... Your true potential...that day where you all had those spars in training... In your battle with the Zabuza …. In your battle with Haku...And when you paraded yourself like a tramp just to attempt to beat him...he was impressed with your skill... and your looks after you transformed into your girl form... It was like Christmas morning for him... but he hid it behind anger and indifference and he thought that if he took you as his mate you could bear him strong children and help him rebuild his oh so precious and special clan...I searched his mind and he has no feelings for you or any girl for that matter...all he wants is to rebuild his clan...And kill his god damned brother... He's an unstable, arrogant prick" Kyuubi roared lividly before his voice deflated barely above a whisper.
"What? B-but that's...you're wrong! Sasuke would never..." Naruko weakly shot back as Kyuubi's words did make some sense. The blonde looked down in silence as her red eyes stared listlessly at the barren ground.
"Hmph...Believe it or not that's what I heard...if I didn't know any better I'd say you were defending that Uchiha,"the redhead spat disgustedly, "like that weak, pink haired girl...you're in love with him...aren't you?" Kyuubi whispered accusingly as he slowly walked towards the silent blonde. Taking slow steps until he was finally in front of the blonde, Naruko sank to her knees with her eyes plastered to the ground. "Naru?" the demon lord asked softly and the young Uzumaki refused to raise her head.
"I...don't know..." she replied quietly as Kyuubi mentally smacked himself.
'Oh well done, Kyuubi! Good job! You just had to go and do something like this, right? You just had to tell her about him...so much for that idea...I know she loves him but I can't bear to see her in pain because of him...if only I could make her understand...if only I could just take her pain away...'
"Kyuu?" the redhead was pulled out of his thoughts by a soft voice and a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Kyuu, are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine...nothing to worry about..." Kyuubi hated lying to her but he didn't want to say anymore...he had messed up enough already...
"You're hiding again..." Naruko replied sadly and the demon lord looked at her in slight confusion.
"I'm what?"
"Hiding...almost every time we talk, you try to hide your emotions from me...let's be real here...You know I'm...confused about Sasuke... and you...and I know that you care for me...In some ways, so why try to hide? Don't tell me that the 'great and all mighty' Kyuubi is scared!" the blonde murmured before giving a small grin at the jab to Kyuubi, however her smile faded away as she noticed the redhead's face...slowly realization dawned upon her and she looked at him with shock.
'He's...he's actually...scared to tell me that he likes me?' the blonde thought incredulously with disbelief plastered over her face as the red haired demon lord avoided her eyes. Turning his face towards hers she searched his eyes and he indeed was scared...there was more than one emotion hidden in is ruby eyes.
"...yes, Yuki...you're right, I am scared...I'm scared because, after all I'm a demon...I'm the Kyuubi...I'll only end up causing trouble for you and..."
"And what? You're just gonna give up on me? Kyuu, I think you should know by now that I can get in a fair amount of trouble all on my own, thank you!" Naruko interrupted with a playful grin as the red haired demon stared at her with eyes widened in shock before a soft smile spread across his face.
"Oh believe me, I've been witness enough times...but still...eventually you will have to choose a mate...And let's face I'm a demon dwelling inside you... And despite the part of me the has lust for you... Part of me sees you as the daughter I must protect...Besides lets not forget it's because I dwell inside you that things would never work out...There could be no normal relationship of that kind **cough** **blush** However since I can see and feel EVERYTHING You feel and read all your thoughts playing the overprotective father would be easy as pie"the demon lord replied with a sly grin before he grew serious, making Naruko's smile slowly fade away.
"Oi just great..Just what every girl wants... An overprotective father.. Yippee.. And I know but...why? Why did things have to happen like this? I mean, after a while...I started noticing you in a different way...a new light...you showed me a kinder side to you that I never knew existed...and I admit...I began to like you in some ways..." Naruko paused as she moved her hand from Kyuubi's shoulder to his larger yet comforting hand, making him stare at the delicate palm in his in shock before slowly looking up at its owner. Meeting a kind, heartwarming smile, Kyuubi couldn't help but break out a smile of his own. "Yet...without me even knowing it...Sasuke managed to worm his way into my heart too...and I started to fall for him without even noticing...che...if Sakura could hear me now, she'd hang me from my hair at the highest point on Hokage Mountain and torture the hell out of me..." the blonde Uzumaki murmured with a sad smile as she cast a sideway glance at the crystal lake not too far from the duo. Kyuubi sat silently as he looked at Naruko's forlorn face with a saddened gleam in his eye.
"...Naru..." he muttered sadly as she turned back to him and squeezed his hand reassuringly. The young Uzumaki gave a soft smile as she slowly rose to her feet, making Kyuubi, in turn, rise as well.
"Kyuu...I don't know if you'll accept my apology but...I'm truly sorry...will you please forgive me? I know it's a lot to ask for from you, because of what I caused and I'm really sorry Kyuu but please...please forgive me..." before the blonde could finish, the redhead placed his finger to her lips to stop her rambling.
"...You talk too much, Naru-hime..." before Naruko could even get to blush or growl at the new nickname Kyuubi stunned her into silence as he closed the distance between them and placed a caring loving kiss on her forehead and gave her a fatherly hug. Naruko returned the embrace.
"I guess I love you too... DAD"
"Apology accepted, my snow flower princess..." he whispered kindly and lovingly as Naruko smiled fondly and hugged back even tighter, making Kyuubi sigh in bliss.
"But Kyuu...what's gonna happen now? I mean...what will I tell everyone when I wake up? ~Oh hey guys! I totally passed out on you 'cause Kyuubi brought me into my mind to kill me or something but guess what! We totally had some kind of awkward father daughter type moment and I have a crush on Sasuke-teme over there! Isn't that GREAT? By the way Sakura please don't murder me" the blonde asked in a fake cheerful voice with a mix of heavy sarcasm, making Kyuubi give a bark of laughter at her antics.
"Hmm...You know...that's not a half bad idea, Yuki-hime...heh! The look on that Uchiha's face would be priceless and I could make an appearance by giving my chakra my shape! That'd be a riot! It'd be the most entertainment anyone probably ever got out of his royal emo-ness " the red haired demon replied with another bark of laughter as he actually looked like he considered the little prank, making Naruko pale in slight fear.
"Oh behave, Kyuu!" Naruko muttered playfully as she childishly flicked the demon lord on his nose, making his face screw up cutely from the hit. The blonde snickered before giving a loud laugh as Kyuubi tried, and failed, to give her a stern look.
"So you think that's funny, eh?" Kyuubi asked with a jokingly malicious tone as he began to tickle the young blonde with his hands and his tails. Giggling uncontrollably, Naruko tried to swat away his hands and tails but failed as she struggled to form words through her laughs and gasps for air.
"N-no...Kyuu quit it! I'm too ticklish! Ahahaha!" Kyuubi gave a grin as he shook his head. He hadn't had this much fun in centuries! "I.. hahaha.. Swear you're already.. hahahaha... acting like a mean dad to your daughter. Hahaha.. C'mon quit it Kyu-chan!"
"Haha! Sorry kit but I've never had a kit to play with or tease before... I'm making up for lost time... I Picked up some good stuff by ordering Pay Per View while you slept...However...I'll quit but... Only if you surrender!" he replied as he increased his tickling, making the blonde yell in excitement.
"NEVER!" ko declared dramatically as she began to run away, a certain red haired demon chasing her with a large smile on his face.
~Leaf Village General Hospital-Room 205~
"N...never..." ko mumbled under her breath as a ghost of a smile fluttered across her face, confusing the occupants in the room. Crystal's eyes narrowed as whatever Kyuubi was doing before seemed to be dissipating, the blonde genin beginning to show signs of improvement.
"Well I don't know what was going on, but she seems to be fine now...I guess you didn't need me anyways..." the busty teen muttered with a confused look in her eye as Naruko mumbled some more and another smile spread on her face.
"I wonder what she's so happy about...is she dreaming or something? I mean...a few minutes ago she looked like road kill and now she looks like a kid in a candy store..." Sasuke spoke up as he raised an eyebrow at Sakura, who merely shrugged, apparently having no explanation either.
"Either way, she looks like she's faring better so lets give her some more time to rest. However, you two still have training." Ken added as Sakura and surprisingly Sasuke, both groaned childishly.
"Ugh...really?" Sasuke asked with a frown as Sakura too joined in.
"Do we HAVE to?" the pinkette whined childishly, making Ken laugh at their actions.
"Yes really and of course you have to...how else are you gonna get ready for other missions?" 'Oops! Nearly slipped about the Chunin Exams...if I had said anything about that Misaki would've killed me!'
"Oooh fine!" Sakura replied dejectedly as Sasuke gave a small pout and stood from his chair. Momentarily crossing his arms, he kept his pout in place and marched off, dragging Ken and Misaki by their sleeves.
"C'mon, lets go already! I don't have all day y'know!" Sasuke muttered in annoyance as the trio slowly disappeared through the door. Kakashi gave a small laugh as he shook in head, his silver eye full of amazement.
"I still forget that he's just a kid..." the silver haired jonin muttered fondly as he disappeared via shunshin and Sakura gave a small smile as she spared Naruko one final glance before running off herself.
"Come Crystal...its been so long. Lets catch up a bit in my office. How have you and your father been." Sarutobi's voice drifted off as the door slid shut and the trio's loud footsteps faded away. A soft, gentle breeze fluttered through the now empty room as it lifted Naruko's flowing blonde hair and sent a few purple flower petals cascading into the hospital room, all the while a happy smile remained on Naruko's face.
~DREAM WORLD NO JUTSU!~
WARNING! (4)
Naruko hid in fear behind a few crates in a dark moonlit alley. A Group of male villagers plus one Leaf Nin made their way into the alley. "Heh so here's the nine tails brat. Good work Jiro (5) finding out she's really a little whore" sneered one of the villagers as they all cornered in on the girl. The scene shifted and only their shadows could be seen. Naruko screamed in pain as the men tormented her.
~DREAM WORLD NO JUTSU, KAI!~
The night air was chilly and still as the bright moon illuminated the village with its glow. Sakura sat impatiently as Sasuke read a battle style scroll quietly next to her, the doctors and nurses still hustling and bustling about and of course, not telling the young Genin anything about their friends' condition or even how long she'd be staying in the hospital.
"I don't understand this...the least they could do is tell us why Naruko's still here! If Crystal e said she's fine then what's the point of keeping her here?" the pinkette muttered indignantly as she looked towards the only other person she thought could give her an answer, unfortunately, this just happened to be Misaki. Giving an annoyed and clearly exasperated sigh she rolled her eyes.
"Just stop being so noisy and wait brat! Patience is a virtue. They'll tell you what you wanna know when they're good an' ready...I swear that blonde must be rubbing off on you..." the stoic woman replied with exasperation as she didn't even lift her head from her old and somewhat raggedy looking book. Feeling curiosity flutter in her mind, Sakura tried to peek into the woman's book only for it to harshly be snapped shut before her face, nearly smacking her nose in the process. Gulping fearfully, Sakura slowly raised her eyes and met an annoyed and slightly angered glare. "Mind your own business, kid..." she muttered roughly as she gave the pinkette another stern glare for good measure before she turned her back to her and returned to the book. (5)
"Scared...I'm scared..." Gasping in fear, Naruko shot up from her sleep in a cold sweat screaming bloody murder, alerting the nurses and her teammates outside to her distress. The blonde barely noticed the door being slammed open by Misaki and Sasuke and she didn't realize the endless tears streaking down her cheeks as Misaki scooped the girl in a hug, rocking her back and forth and letting the young Uzumaki cry and bawl into her jonin jacket. Naruko didn't even know where she was but she grabbed unto the warm thing that held her and cried out of fear and pure shock, the only thing running through her head was the awful dream, what she did to that deer...as the nightmare plagued her thoughts her cries began to escalate as Misaki tried her best to calm the girl from whatever troubled her, whispering soft words of nothing as the blonde slowly seemed to calm down. Still hugging Misaki's jacket, Naruko whimpered and cried as the same unknown voice filtered through her mind, the voice sounding like it belonged to a little girl...sounding so alone, so...sad..."Scared...I'm scared...NO DONT!"
"Misaki-sensei?" Sakura's broken voice asked from the door as she, Sasuke and some of the nurses and doctors clamored at the door to see the commotion.
"Back outside! All of you, OUT!" the red haired jonin declared roughly as she made a shadow clone without any handsigns and it wordlessly shoved everyone out. Misaki gave it a nod and it nodded back as it locked the door and put a protective Jutsu on the room before popping out of existence. Looking back to the now silent blonde in her arms, Misaki sighed as she noticed that the poor girl had cried herself to sleep. "I guess I'll have to do that after all..." Laying the sleeping blonde back unto the hospital bed, Misaki narrowed her eyes as she put the pads of her index fingers on the sides of Naruko o's temples. 'I'm sorry for this...Ken...' Closing her eyes in the utmost concentration, Misaki blocked out the slightest of sounds as she steadily began to build up her chakra, the concentration of power creating a silvery pink glow around her before it connected to the prone blonde and changed to a deep purple mixed with a much darker shade of pink. Slowly opening her eyes, the once pink orbs were now a silver/blue and bore no pupils as two thick lines suddenly appeared on either side of her cheeks. (6) "Kuroi: Silver Dream Eater..." (7) The red head muttered softly as her eyes rolled back into her head and her body slumped before collapsing unto the cool tile floor, the purple/pink aura still surrounding her. The protection jutsu slowly wore off and the door was quickly, and carelessly, swung open, revealing the chaos inside.
"SENSEI!"
~Naruko's Mindscape~
Misaki clutched her head as she slowly came too, wincing as a sharp pain shot through her comatose form. Slowly making her way to her feet she finally opened her eyes, which slowly bled to its natural pink, and looked at her surroundings in shock.
'What the? Where am I?' Misaki tried to sift through her now muddled mind as another jolt of pain stopped her before something suddenly clicked and the memories slowly resurfaced. "Shit! Don't tell me the jutsu backfired!" the jonin swore as she tried her best to understand what was going on only to groan and slap her forehead in disbelief. '...Please tell me what I'm thinkin' of is what actually happened!' Suddenly aware of a presence behind her, the red head grew silent and prepared to attack before...
"Turn around...slowly..." Misaki froze as her eyes widened in shock, as a faint memory began buzzing in the back of her mind.
'Why does that voice sound so...familiar?' the red head thought as she frantically racked her brain for answers, something was telling her that she was supposed to remember...that she NEEDED to remember...
"I won't say it again...turn around and state your purpose!" the deep voice declared again, albeit roughly, as Misaki heard the sound of a blade being drawn from its sheath. Still trying to remember, again coming up blank, the Jonin Nakamura did as the voice asked and slowly turned around, finding herself face to face with a red haired, fox eared, nine tail bearing man. Narrowing her eyes, the face struck her as someone she obviously knew yet she just couldn't put her finger on it and it ate her up because her mind, body, gut and soul practically screamed at her that this was someone she knew yet she had no recollection of this man...not even in the slightest and it annoyed her that she felt so strongly (not romantically) about this person but not for hell could she remember who he was! However, surprisingly, the red haired man, to put it short, stared at her like if he'd seen a ghost. His face was marred with disbelief as his elegant black sword slipped from his hand and fell to the grassy ground.
"I...IMPOSSIBLE! It can't be!" he muttered shakily, as he took a cautious step forward, making Misaki take one reclusive step back. She might think she knows this nut but that doesn't mean he's an ally! 'And from that reaction I'd say this guy does know me...but why is he so shocked to see me...and why can't I even remember whoever this is?' the red head thought warily as the red haired sword wielder took another step forward. "C-Chiharu?"
XXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOXXLINEBREAKJ UTSUXXOOXX
"Wha...What did you just call me?" Misaki stared at Kyuubi in slight shock as she couldn't believe how she sounded...so weak and defenseless; It was disgusting...
"...I called you Chiharu...it is you, isn't it?" the red haired demon lord replied uncertainly as he tried to understand the emotions swirling around in "Chiharu's" light pink eyes.
"Why...why is that name so familiar?" Misaki murmured softly as she racked her brain for clues but only got a sharp, blinding jolt of pain in return. Hissing at the sudden shock, the young jonin's hand flew up to the back of her head.
"Chiharu? Chiharu, what is it?"the red haired woman growled as her head shot up and she leveled Kyuubi with a disastrously dangerous glare.
"DO NOT CALL ME THAT AGAIN..." Misaki ground out murderously as Kyuubi's red slit eyes widened in shock at her icy, biting tone. Narrowing his eyes suspiciously, Kyuubi slowly bent down and retrieved his fallen sword, not once breaking eye contact with the still furious Misaki.
"What happened to you, ningen...why are you here?" the red haired demon lord asked roughly as he leveled Misaki with a glare of his own, all inhibitions now put aside. Glaring right back, Misaki ground her teeth.
'Just who does this bastard think he is, anyway? First he acts like he knows me, then he calls me by some bimbo's name and NOW he's angry with me? What the hell is going on here! If that jutsu hadn't backfired this wouldn't have happened and I'd! I'd still be in the hospital room with Naruto! That's it!'
"...Now I get it!"
"Get what?" Kyuubi echoed bitterly as Misaki straightened up and her glare lessened slightly.
"When I did my clan's secret jutsu, it backfired and instead of removing the nightmare from Yukiko's mind...my jutsu brought me INTO her mind!" the pink eyed woman declared with a snap of her fingers as realization slowly dawned unto her face. "Wait...if I'm in Yukiko's mind, then that means that you are Kyuubi..."
"Oh how nice of you to finally notice, ningen..." the demon ruler muttered dryly yet Misaki merely gave a snort in return.
"So blondie was right...you are a sarcastic jackass..." the red haired jonin jabbed back with just as much sarcasm, surprising herself with the...calm ease she had taken in talking to the most powerful bijuu in existence. 'Just why do I feel soo...calm and happy next to this man? I can't understand what the hell is wrong with me...'
'...This has to be Chiharu! I'm absolutely sure of it...only Chiharu could do that jutsu and this ningen even has her scent...her hair is longer and redder but, I just know it...it has to be Chiharu-chan...Wait...nightmare?' "WHAT! What nightmare? Naruko was fine before she left her mindscape...what are you talking about, ningen?" Kyuubi demanded worriedly, making Misaki's eyes widen slightly at his genuinely fearful tone.
"I was hoping you could tell me...she just woke up out of the blue and started screaming and crying as if the devil himself was behind her...she was so shaken up she cried herself back to sleep a few minutes after...I tried to calm her down but by then she had already fallen asleep so I locked the doctors, nurses and her teammates outside before doing my clan's secret jutsu...it was supposed to erase the dream from her memory but instead I got pulled into here..." the stoic Jonin explained with some hand gestures, her eyes narrowing as Kyuubi's face darkened slowly by the minute.
"But...where is Naru-chan then? If this is as bad as it sounds she could get herself into serious trouble...it may be her mind but a human's mind is still an extremely dangerous place...she might find things she shouldn't...things I sealed away for a reason..." Misaki paused and raised an eyebrow as she caught unto the special emphasis of 'Naru-chan' ' but she decided to let that slide, she and Kyuubi had a lot of work to do.
"'Things you sealed away for a reason?'...just what do you mean by that?" the red haired Nakamura asked suspiciously as Kyuubi gave a short, tired sigh.
"...Memories...her memories. When she was younger the villagers weren't too kind to Naru-chan... There was even an incident of traumatic proportions... so I sealed her memories of it away so she wouldn't get hurt...she even knew of me from the age of four and we always chatted but...after her sixth birthday...everything changed...I...I Had to seal her memories more and remain silent for a LONNNGG Time... Until recently In fact" the red haired demon murmured with a reminiscent smile before his face slowly twisted into one of rage.
"What's wrong? What happened to...?"
"Its not important...Right now we have to focus on finding Naru-chan. I can handle going through her mind because we'll eventually have to pass through some of her memories, especially the sealed ones...but you, Chi-ningen...do you wish for me to send you back?"Kyuubi interrupted as he slowly turned his head to his left. Noticing his mistake, the red head turned to his equally red haired counterpart but she just waved it off. "Its okay...I think...you obviously miss someone who looks like me, I can't fault you for something personal like that...and as for this..." she paused gesturing to the forests, clearing and lake, "you can damn well count me in. That brat made a believer out of me in those training exams and also, she's my student. I promise...no, I SWEAR I will not abandon her or you! Besides, you'll get bored on your own!" Misaki finished with a childish grin, making Kyuubi's eyes widen slightly, an old memory slowly resurfacing.
~MINI FLASHBACK NO JUTSU!~
"But Chiharu...going on a mission like this is dangerous! It's practically SUICIDE! Tell those blasted elders you won't do it!" a shorter haired Kyuubi exclaimed in shock and anger as he sat with another. Chiharu had beautiful, long red hair, vibrant, light pink eyes, and a smile to rival the sun. She was currently garbed in her custom jonin outfit and was packing away certain necessities into a little rucksack.
"Kyuu-kun, we've gone over this...There's nothing I can do but follow the orders of my superiors. Even if I wanted to, I can't just not go...things don't work like that when you're the'best young Kekkei Genkai jonin in the entirety of the five shinobi lands!'" the red head murmured with air quotes and a roll of the eyes as she imitated the voice of the 'Old Fossil', Koharu. Smiling fondly, Kyuubi held her hand ever so gently, as if in fear that Chiharu would shatter like a porcelain doll.
"But..."
"Ssh...No buts. I promise, no I swear...I will never abandon you or this village...I promise I'll come back to you, Kyuu-kun...I PROMISE." Chiharu interrupted before holding his face gently in her hands. "I promise..."
~MINI FLASHBACK NO JUTSU, KAI!~
"Oii, Kyuubi...KYUUBI! STOP DAYDREAMING YOU DOLT!" the red haired demon lord blinked away a few, unnoticeable tears as he was broken out of his reverie. "Helloooo? Anyone home in that possibly empty noggin?" Misaki asked with a grin as she playfully knocked on Kyuubi's fringe hidden forehead, actually having to tip toe to his height. Kyuubi gave a playful smirk as he slowly moved her hand from his forehead. As their hands slowly lowered, the two red heads finally noticed how close they were to each other, both their eyes beginning to widen in shock and slight embarrassment.
'This...this has to be Chi-chan...Her eyes are still as pink as sakura petals and she hasn't changed a bit...She even said the exact same thing before...' Kyuubi thought sadly as he and Misaki continued to stare wordlessly at each other, some similar thoughts spinning through her head...somewhat...
'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUCK! Why the hell does he have to stare at me with those blasted kicked puppy, big ass eyes? DAMMIT! Why in god's name am I feeling like this? What the hell is wrong with me!' Misaki thought in confusion as she actually found herself trying to inch closer to Kyuubi! 'WHAT THE HELL! Okay, THAT'S IT!'
"Ehem...um..."
"Ahem...yeah, um...Thanks..." Kyuubi murmured as he reluctantly released her hand and they both instantly looked at anything other than each other.
"Uh, for what? What did I do?" Misaki asked while still looking away from the taller red head but still trying to steal peeks at his face.
"For saying what you did...I needed that, so thanks..." Kyuubi replied as he too tried stealing glances at the shorter red head, actually getting caught a couple times, which brought a sheepish smile to his face.
"C'mon, fox boy...Let's go find Naruko"
XXXXXXXXXXLINEBREAKXXXZXZXZX XXXXXLINEBREAKERJUTSUXX
'Ugh...why does my head still hurt...It feels like it's gonna explode or something...' Misaki thought with a small touch to her forehead as she slowly began to fall back. Noticing this, Kyuubi slowed as well.
"Ningen? Are you alright? Do you wish to rest or-"
"NO! Uh, no sorry...don't worry about it... Naruko's top priority right now. I'm fine. Where exactly are we going?" Misaki interrupted hastily as she and Kyuubi trekked through an expansive and luscious forest. Said demon lord gave her a concerned glance before turning back to the trail.
"Sigh...It's very complicated, ningen...I'm attempting to follow Naruko's scent and very thin chakra trail at the same time and this requires most of my attention and concentration..." Kyuubi explained for what seemed like the one hundredth time as he gave an agitated roll of the eyes before becoming calm once more. The red haired jonin sulked quietly with a small pout as she wordlessly followed the lowly grumbling demon lord.
'Geez! He didn't have to be so rude about it! I was only being curious...That freak headache is still here but it feels like its going away...Maybe now I can try to find out how I know him... if I just dig deep enough, maybe I can remember...'
'Oh ho! You are too precious!' an unusual voice chided with a sugar sweet tone, ringing through Misaki's mind and leaving a sharp, piercing pain in its wake.
'Wh-wha...' the red head thought as more waves of blistering pain suddenly bloomed from her forehead.
"Ahh!" the red head cried out in shock and pain as she leant against a tree and gripped her head tightly. Kyuubi worriedly spun around and his eyes widened in shock as he saw the pink eyed woman surrounded by a familiar chakra.
"Ningen?!" Misaki slowly raised her agonized eyes and stretched out her hand towards the stunned red head.
"Kyuu-kun..." she whispered in a voice not her own before her now lighter pink eyes rolled into her head and she slumped forward.
"NINGEN!" as Kyuubi rushed to her side and turned her unto her back, his red slitted eyes widened in shock and his mouth opened slightly. The red haired demon suspiciously brushed a few stray strands of vibrant red hair from Misaki's forehead and quickly recoiled in shock as he found his answer. "Ch...Chiharu!?"
~Misaki's Mindscape~
"Oh, Misa-chan! Wake up..."
'Mhm...Wha...What happened? And what is this stupid voice I'm hearing?'
"Misa...c'mon now, wake up!"
'Ugh...really? Gimme a break, I'm trying to sleep here!'
"WAKE UP!" Misaki was shaken awake by a rather cold and sudden dump of water on her head, making her yelp loudly. "That's better!" the definitely feminine voice declared cheerfully as Misaki resisted the urge to curse.
"Alright, that's it! Someone is gonna..." as the red haired jonin spun around, the string of insults and curses died in her throat and her pink eyes widened in shock and confusion at the woman standing before her.
"Hello there, Misaki! Nice to meet you!" the woman greeted with a cheerful smile as Misaki remained on her bum in shock and astonishment. "What's the matter, Misa-chan? You don't look so good..."
"Wha-what is this?! How can you be...But I'm...I'm!" Misaki stuttered incomprehensively as her mind could not understand what was going on.
"You're you, I'm me...What's so hard to get?" the mysterious woman explained with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders, making Misaki stare at her with unbelieving eyes.
"How is this even possible?! I must be dreaming! Wait a minute...KYUUBI! KYUUBI, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW! JOKE'S OVER!" Misaki yelled angrily as she slowly rose to her feet, not noticing the confused look of this unknown woman.
"Uh...Misaki...Kyuu-kun isn't here...are you sure you're alright?" the woman asked as she worriedly pressed her hand to the other's forehead. Misaki's eyes widened in shock as she finally noticed the uncanny and almost creepy similarities between herself and this...very happy woman...
'Could this be the Chiharu woman Kyuubi's nuts over?' "Stop that!" Misaki snapped in slight annoyance as she swatted the other red head's hand from her forehead, which in turn, made the older 'twin' blink in slight confusion.
"Stop what? I was just trying to help, Misaki." the red head grinned childishly, making Misaki blink owlishly.
"Wait a minute...How do you know my name? As a matter of fact, who the hell are you anyway?" Misaki asked with folded arms as the woman before her smiled softly.
"Uh...I know you because you aren't really...umm...uh...How should I put this..." 'I can't tell her what happened...she won't believe me if I do...'
"Hey! Spit it out already!" Misaki said with a frown, noticing the other woman's reluctance.
"I want to...just please don't hate me..." Misaki rolled her eyes with a sigh.
'Wow, Kyuubi...you sure know how to pick 'em...' the jonin thought to herself as her twin stood nervously before her.
"Uh...well...I know you because...because...Because you're in my head!" the woman blurted out, looking at the other's blank face with worry and slight fear.
"I...I'm in your head...right...KYUUBI!" the red haired woman stared at her copy worriedly as Misaki began yelling at the top of her lungs. "LAST CHANCE, FUZBALL! COME OUT NOW AND I MIGHT NOT SKIN YOU ALIVE!"
"Misaki?" the jonin blatantly ignored the voice and continued to yell for her hidden prankster. 'This has to be Kyuubi's work! I must be dreaming or something...Maybe I hit my head...'
"Misaki...if you'd just listen to me..."
"KYUUBI!"
"IS NOT HERE, MISAKI! Just listen to me!" the red haired woman yelled, finally fed up as she spun Misaki around and shook her a little. Misaki stared at the woman with shock, slightly surprised at her attitude change.
"But you...I...how can I be..."
"Just listen..." the red head soothed softly as she gently rubbed her twin's shoulder, calming Misaki slightly. "When I said I know you, I do...but you aren't really...'real'..." she paused, worriedly noticing Misaki's change in attitude. "What I mean is...well...maybe I should start at the beginning..."
"That would be helpful..." Misaki murmured as she lowered her head slightly. 'I'm not even real? How is that possible...?'
"Well...I guess I should go back to my mission all those years ago...The Konoha Elders gave me this direct order and Kyuubi was sort of...hiding in my apartment...well hiding from other ninja who wanted to control him..."
*****Time Skip Jutsu (8) *******
**** Leaf Village Hospital-Room/Naruko's Room ****
Misaki regained consciousness. "Are you okay Misaki" asked Ken with concern.
"Yeah I'm fine... its just I found a little more than I bargained for inside the kids mind" replied the Jonin.
**** The Next Day ******
*** Friday Morning****
Sasuke and Sakura sat in Naruko's room watching the blonde sleep peacefully at last. Finally the blonde began to stir.
"Mmmmm... G-Good morning Sakura" greeted Naruko groggily.
"SENSEI, CRYSTAL SHES AWAKE" Yelled Sakura.
All the Jonin rushed into the room. "Well I see the patient is feeling better" said Crystal.
"Hn you went and had us waste two and half whole days of of training dobe" said Sasuke.
"WHAT YOU SAY TEME?! I'LL KICK YOUR SMUG ASS RIGHT HERE AND NOW" Yelled Naruko.
"LIKE HELL YOU WILL! YOU ARE MY PATIENT AND RIGHT NOW YOU ARE IN A HOSPITAL IN MY CARE AND I HAVEN'T CLEARED YOU YET SO THERE WILL BE NO ASS KICKING until I SAY SO YOU GOT BRATS" Yelled Crystal using Iruka's Demon Head Jutsu (9) then promptly giving both Sasuke and Naruko a swift knuckle sandwich effectively knocking the two unconscious.
"Wow she"s like another Tsunade... Though I guess in her case she gets her temper from her dad.. Remind me not to piss her off" said Ken gulping.
"Ahem did you say something Ken?! Perhaps I need to arrange a few things during you next physical" said Crystal with an evil grin.
"Nope... Nothing... I said nothing at all mam...By the way thats a nice uniform you're wearing today" said Ken meekly with a sweat-drop.
'Subtle...Real subtle Ken' Thought Kurenai.
'Hn Crystal is as always my kind of gal' thought Anko.
'In the words of my student... Woman...Too troublesome" thought Asuma 'except maybe you Kurenai' he added stealing a glance at his fellow Jonin.
"Well I guess this means Naruko won't be getting out of the hospital today" said Kakashi as he resumed reading one of his ever present Icha Icha books.
"Mmm... What the hell is all of this ruckus so freakin early in the morning" asked Masaki dryly and groggily as she sat up in a bed across from Naruko.
"Oh not much..Just your idiot Teammate and nearly all of Naruko's friends causing a ruckus" said Crystal as she put Sasuke down on the bed next to Naruko's. "Unfortunately the stuck up arrogant annoying emo prick of the Uchiha clan here fighting with his damn girlfriend here didn't exactly help matters" added Crystal dryly.
"Now then the brats aside how are you doing this morning" asked the medic as she summoned a cup of coffee.
"Better I guess...That Jutsu plus what went on in Naruko's mind-scape...It all kind of took a lot out of me" replied Masaki.
"I see... And May I ask just what exactly did happen in my patients head" asked Crystal.
"I-I'm sorry but with all due respect I can't say...At least not yet and not to you. I shall of course report to the Hokage. If he allows it I shall fill in Ken and Kakashi as well... Especially since a portion of it concerns an important matter concerns a certain blonde student of his and her tennant... and that is ALL I will say on the matter" said the Jonin.
"I see...Understood then. Well then that being said I'd like you and Naruko to each stay one more night for observation. Since you need to report to Lord Hokage I'll discharge you first. Also seeing as space is tight at the hospital presently the Uchiha brat will have to stay the night in this room too. It should be safe, after all he'll be in the same room as his girlfriend and besides when it comes to girls the emo punk has about as much emotion as a brick I hear" said Crystal.
****** The Next Day- Saturday Morning*******
It was around 7AM LFST (9) The sun was starting to rise. Crystal, Ken, and Kakashi were just about to wake up Masaki for her discharge when a scream came from the bathroom connected to their room waking up not only the entire hospital but nearly anyone in the Leaf Village who was still sleeping at this moment.
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Sakura who had just entered the room along with Masaki ran to the bathroom to see Naruko sitting on the toilet the wrong way.
"Naruko whats wrong and why are you on the toilet wrong" asked a bewilder Masaki.
"Well you see I was trying to take a leak you see... And wait wrong? What do you mean the wrong this is the way I've been trying to go ever since the Wave mission And... Wait never mind that Sakura-CHAN this is more serious than that... Sakura...Masaki Sensei... I'M DYING" wailed Naruko.
The two girls blinked. "Idiot what the hell makes you think you're dying" asked Sakura.
Naruko pointed into the toilet. "I'm bleeding to death that's what!"
Both women looked briefly in the toilet then began laughing. "That's all it is" said Maski.
"HEY WHY IS ME DYING SO DAMN FUNNY" yelled the blonde.
Kakashi came standing behind Masaki and Sakura at the doorway while the Hokage and Iruka had just entered the hospital room.
"What the hell the girl never heard of periods before?! Jeesh doesn't the academy offer a health class no more" said Crystal coming up behind Kakashi.
Kakashi smiled beneath his mask. "Let me guess Naruko was absent that day" asked the cycloptic man.
"Come ta think of it Naruko was absent or played hooky quite often when she was still Naruto" came Iruka's voice.
"Umm hello people as nice as this little get together is WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THE HELL I'M BLEEDING TO DEATH HERE" demanded an angry blonde.
ALL The males present suddenly went awkward. "Umm you know what I Just remembered I need Kakashi, Iruka, Ken and Masaki for a discussion" said the Third whisking them out of the room. At the last moment Masaki popped her head back in.
"I'm sorry about this but I'll let Crystal and Sakura handle this. Sasuke can guard the room while you three talk" she said putting protective Jutsu's on the door as she left. The aforementioned Uchiha suddenly looked very ill.
"Umm well...Where to start.." started Sakura awkwardly.
********** 36 Minutes Later*******
"And that about explains most of what you need to know...I suppose Sakura and the other Kunoichi you know will have to teach you other little things here and there" finished Crystal.
Sasuke was currently vomiting in the wastebasket. 'Did she have to use so much detail' thought the raven haired boy.
"So that happens every month" asked Naruko a tone of panic in her voice.
"Yeah unfortunately" said Crystal taking a sip of coffee.
"Sakura did I tell you that being a girl sucks yet? It's worse than Gamma-Chan being empty" wailed the girl a stream of Anime tears running down her face

Not for the faint of heart or squeamish. Slight mentions of rape ( And not the ONLY 1 In the story ) Youve been warned!
Misaki is a very closed off and reserved person. As for the book she was reading...think of that book like Sai and his brother's picture book only...minus the pics and it's a diary from her mom to her before she died when Misa-chan was six.
Kekkei Genkai. Misaki izza bad chick! LOL. If u can't imagine it, look at the Naruto manga from last month where 'Dark Naruto' was helping Naruto in the war with Madara. (SPOILERS!)
Like fire style, "Katon" that is her clan's special jutsu, "Kuroi" Black or Darkness Style, Silver Dream Eater, S-Rank. Couldn't think of a better name soo deal with it. :P
