Chapter 9: A few surprises
Tamara's POV
I walked along one of the less crowded streets of Konoha "man that tree was uncumfy, how are ninja's suppose to stay in it all night?" I asked myself as I searched "okay if I were a pervert, where would I be? I would be shooting myself but anyway hmm…" I stopped walking and took a few steps back, looking to the left I saw the hot springs "why didn't I think of that yesterday?" I walked around to where the change rooms were and found nothing "well… I'm stumped"
"Stumped on what little girl?" asked a voice behind me, I twitched in anger and slowly turned around "what. Did. You. Call. Me?" I growled out glaring daggers at the person in front of me.
"Uh… little girl"

Jess felt a shiver go down her spine "I have a bad feeling Itoko's pissed off" she said shivering, Georgia looked up from the book she was reading "I'd hate to be on her bad side" she claimed watching as Jess turned up the heater "especially if someone refers to her height and you can be nasty when your angry too, I mean your nails are sharper then Kyuubis" Jess told her, Georgia nodded "then I really don't want to be on her bad side and my nails aren't sharp" Georgia replied "you tore someone's arm with them and that was by accident!"

Tamara's POV
'Happy thoughts, happy thoughts' I repeated in my head as I glared at my shadow stalker "what are you doing here?" I growled out "nice to see you too" the guy laughed, I 'humph'ed and glared harder "you have some explaining to do" I stated, he chuckled "I know" he replied "well?" I questioned "wait a few seconds and I'll explain to all of you" he said, I gave him a confused look before I heard my name being called.
I walked out to the front of the hot springs and saw Jess and Georgia walking towards me "hi guys" I called out, they looked at me and waved. When they got close to me they suddenly stopped, I watched as their faces changed into a shocked and confused look "what?" I asked, they pointed behind me.
I looked over my shoulder to see my shadow man standing there waving "oh him" I said "oi, him has a name. My name is Chi" Chi told them, the girls burst out laughing.
"What?" he growled, Georgia recovered first "Chi is a girls name" Chi sweat dropped "my mum wanted a girl so anyhoo I'll explain about Tamara's ability and the abilities you two might be getting from your demon shadows-"
"Demon shadows?" I asked cutting him off as Jess calmed down.
"Yes, I'm your demon shadow" seeing the girls confused faces Chi sighed "when you came into this world, you passed through the demon plane where all of this world summons come from. When you did that my friends and I got attached to you so-"
"Does that we're Jinchuuriki?" Jess asked cutting him off "no, I said attached not sealed inside" Chi replied "what's the difference?" I asked him.
Chi gave me a look that said 'how dumb can you get?' and I glared at him "the difference between you guys and a Jinchuuriki is that Jinchuuriki hold the demons body, mind and soul. You on the other hand just hold our mind and soul, our bodies are sill in the demon plane only they're empty shells, we are also not as powerful or important as the tailed demons the Jinchuuriki carry but you can summon our bodies" Chi explained "okay look I'll be honest with you, I hate humans and I don't plan on liking any of them go that?" he added "fine now lets summon you" I said with an evil grin "I also would like to see my demon shadow" Georgia said "well right now you two can't summon your demon shadows body because their mind and soul is still asleep, I can awaken them but only after I've re connected to my chakra" Chi told Georgia and Jess who pouted "well I can still do it so here I go" I chirped "wait!" Chi shouted "what?" I asked a bit annoyed "we're going to need a bigger space then this" he told me and then I remembered that we were still standing in the middle of the street "oh" I said.
"Let's go back to the training grounds Georgia and I were just at" Jess said and started walking down the road the same way she came.
"Well let's go" I said following her.

Normal POV
"Is this big enough?" Jess asked when they reached the empty training ground, Chi who suddenly materialized next to Tamara looked around "yes, it's fine" he said before disappearing "hey, where's the weasel?" Jess asked looking around "I'm here and I'll like it if you don't call me the weasel thank you" Chi said and the girls turned around to see him standing a few feet away, Jess suck her tongue out.
"Tamara, here. Other girls, stay" he ordered "we are not dogs" Georgia stated "could have fooled me" Chi retorted "WHAT?" Georgia grabbed Jess's arm as she tried to lunge at Chi "at least I have a name that suits my gender!" she shouted, Chi growled at her "Jess shut up before you give me a head ache! And Chi don't insult my friends" Tamara said already standing beside Chi "whatever, you know how to summon?" Chi asked, Tamara nodded "good, now use 95% of your chakra to summon me" he told her, Tamara concentrated on her chakra ten did as she was told.
She preformed the hand signs and slammed her hands down on the ground "summoning jutsu!" she shouted.
A huge puff of smoke clouded the girls vision, when the smoke cleared they saw a giant weasel stretching in front of them "god, I feel as stiff as a rock" the weasel growled "Chi?" Tamara asked, the weasel looked down at her "what?" it asked, Tamara's eyes widened "it is you" she exclaimed happily as she put a hand on his leg "careful" Chi said "why?" Tamara asked before she pulled her hand back with a yell "oww, what's going on?" she asked looking down at her hands that were now growing claws "because I'm attached to you, even though I'm in my body now my soul and mind is still in you meaning now that my chakra is reconnected you're getting some of my demon traits because our chakra is mixing together" Chi explained "now let's awaken you demons while Tamara goes through her changes" Chi said turning to Jess and Georgia.
"First you have to-"
"Daddy!" a little voice called out from above Chi "huh?" everyone paused, a normal sized weasel with a pink bow on its head became visible on Chi's head "Momo?" Chi exclaimed "hi daddy" Momo called out as she waved "how the hell are you here, you're too young to be able to travel through the worlds" Chi said "Momo went to sleep on daddy's head and when Momo woke up Momo was here" Momo told Chi "great, someone else who speaks in third person" Jess mumbled "but now that you're here you can't go back" Chi complained "couldn't she go back with your body?" Georgia asked, Chi shook his head "no, if she went back now she will die. In our world we only allow demons who are at a certain age or over to be used in summons because their bodies are able to handle the trip there and back, but for someone as young as Momo the trip back would kill her so she's stuck here" Chi explained "I'll look after her for you' Tamara said gaining everyone's attention, she now had claws, ears, a tail and whiskers. Her hair had also grown longer and now had a few streaks of brown through it and Tamara her also grown a few inches "I feel really different besides the new additions to my body" she added "I think the joining of our chakra as accelerated your aging process, it should be fine now but you have probably aged… 3 years" Chi told her "3 YEARS?" Tamara shouted "yes 3 years, but besides that what did you say before?" Chi asked.
"Huh?... oh I said that I'll look after her" Tamara told him "mummy!" Momo shouted pointing to Tamara "what?" everyone exclaimed, Chi looked at Tamara and his eyes softened "she does look like Chahiru doesn't she, but Momo mummy's gone to heaven remember?" he said looking away from the girls "oh yea, but pretty lady looks like mummy, Momo wants to stay with pretty lady" Momo cheered "look I still don't trust or like humans but can you please look after Momo for me?" Chi asked Tamara who smiled the sweetest smile ever, Jess and Georgia flinched at the smile knowing nothing good will come from it, nothing good for Chi that is "of course… on one condition" Tamara replied, Chi frowned "what condition?" he asked "you try to like me"
"HUH?" everyone (but Momo) exclaimed "look Chi, I don't know why you hate humans and frankly I don't give a shit why but don't you tell me that you hate me because I'm human so please just try to like me" Tamara told him, Chi looked away with an embarrassed look she looks too much like Chahiru, I can't say no "I'll try" he muttered "good now weren't you going to awaken their demons?" Tamara asked pointing to Georgia and Jess "alright, Momo please go play with the girl" Chi told his daughter who jumped off his head and went over to Tamara and transformed into a little girl with brown hair and a little pink bow on the left side of her head, weasel ears and a tail wearing a child kimono "hi pretty lady I'm Momo, what your name?" Momo asked "my name's Tamara, but you can call me Tam if you want" Tamara said bending down to Momo's eye level "no" Momo said bluntly making everyone sweatdrop "you're Oka-san" Momo told her with a firm look on her face "o-okay" Tamara replied with a shocked look on her face "okay getting back on track, you two close your eyes and think of something you want to accomplish with great will and determination" Chi said to Georgia and Jess who nodded and did as they were told.
Tamara watched as Jess started glowing white and a figure materialized beside her "Yuki?" Chi called out to the woman who looked up at him, she had snow white hair and light blue eyes and was wearing a light grey kimono 'well, look who it is, little Chi what are you doing here?" the woman asked "who are you calling little? Go get the girl to summon your body" Chi replied nodding towards Jess "fine" Yuki huffed and dragged Jess off away from the others, Chi turned to Georgia to see her dimly glowing a pinkish purple "focus Georgia" he said and Georgia sighed "I'm not sure what I really want" she replied, Chi frowned "it could be anything… money, power, for gods sake you could wish for a husband for all I care just put all your determination into something you want to do or achieve" Chi told her, Georgia sighed and tried again.
Tamara watched as Georgia began to glow the pinkish purple again this time more brightly, another woman materialized and Chi smiled "Uta, what a surprise" he said and Uta looked up at him, she had a purple kimono with orange lining and an aqua obi. She also had pink hair that reached her thighs "Chi, what are you doing in that form?" she asked, her voice floating through the air like a melody "well my girl summoned my body" he said pointing to Tamara who was wondering when she became his girl "go get your girl to summon your body too or yo-"
"Yes I know no need to tell me" Uta said cutting Chi off, a small earthquake drew everyone's attention over to Jess who was now standing next to a snow tiger the same size as Chi, she had small patches of ice around each paw and every time she breathed out fog would come out "it feels so good to be back in my body" the tiger said stretching "well hello to you too Yuki" Uta called out Yuki looked down "oh, Uta I didn't know you were here" she said before nudging Jess with her nose "ow, that hurt" jess complained as she nearly fell over "oops sorry I didn't realize the strength difference between my forms" Yuki told her as she started growing claws "what's going on?" Jess asked "your going through the same changes your friend over there did" Yuki replied lying down for a nap "oh" Jess replied sitting down as Georgia did the summoning jutsu creating a giant bird "wow, it feels good to be back in my own body" Uta said stretching her wings out and then held out one of her wings to Georgia "here touch my wing" she told her "Okay" Georgia replied touching the feathers on Uta's wing and feeling the electric shock "am I going to get bird features?" she asked Uta who shrugged "I'm not sure"
Tamara looked up to see her friends in their changed forms. Jess now had ears, tail, tiger like eyes and a blue tinge had appeared in her skin. Georgia had really changed, she had pink streaks through her brown hair and three feathers in her hair each a different colour, one pink, one purple and one aqua, she also had small wings on her back and her eyes had also changed. "You guys look good" she said standing up "please don't say we're stuck like this" Jess said "only while our chakra flows through your body" Yuki explained.
"What about Sara and Tayla?" Georgia asked "well, if they also have demons then we have to do it today or else they will die" Uta told them "our friends will die?" Tamara exclaimed "no, the demon attached to them will" Chi replied "oh, but how can we get to them? We have no idea where they are" Tamara told him "there is one way…" Yuki trailed off, looking a bit reluctant to mention it "what way?" Georgia asked "well it's called 'Soul Transfer' and what it does is send your soul to a certain person or place" Uta explained "that's perfect! Let's do it!" Tamara cheered, Chi smacked her on the head "baka, listen first!" he ordered "the reason why Yuki was reluctant to mention this is because there are some dangers to this technique. Number 1 is that while your soul is out of your body, your body becomes lifeless so you can't move, speak, anything. So you are open for attacks from enemy ninja. Number 2 is that if your soul gets hurt it will feel the pain but the body will get the wound so you have to be extra careful and number 3 is that to stay transparent so no attacks can hit you, you must be touching your demon. Got it?" Chi asked after explaining, Tamara nodded "alright I understand, so when and do we start?"
Chi smiled "right now"
