Author's Note: Neko is my nickname for the two-tailed demon cat.
Neko's Hope
Neko and Yugito had always gotten along well
Yugito had Neko in her since she was two
Neko was like the mother she never had
Yugito was not rejected because of Neko
She was always loved by her village
They never shunned her
But they still didn't understand her
Neko knew what she really thought and wanted
As for as Neko was concerned
Yugito was her kitten
Neko trained her well
Yugito learned many fire jutsu from Neko
And she would sometimes let Neko posses her
But only when they fought powerful foes
Like Hidan and Kakuzu
But even with Neko's help
Tragedy struck
Yugito was beaten
And Neko was torn out of her body
For three agonizing days
Until Yugito died
And Neko was sealed in a statue
Shukaku was there too
He explained what had happened
Neko cried in grief for Yugito
And tried to escape
But it was far too late
She was sealed again
She wailed loud and clear
For she and Shukaku knew their terrible fate
If the other seven came
They would be merged into the ten-tailed demon
Shukaku gently comforted her as much as he could
But within mere months
Five more demons were sealed
And the eight-tailed beast was being threatened
With more than his host normally handled
Neko's despair grew all the while
But then Shukaku told her about Naruto
And shined a ray of hope on her day
Because everyone knew
Naruto and Kyuubi could
Kill Madara and possibly Sasuke one day
But Neko had to wonder what would happen to her then
Would she be killed too
Would she be imprisoned
Would she be sealed once again
Or could she finally be with her mate in peace
Shukaku began to wonder the same thing
So they both prayed for the hero
So they could stay together
And be free again
