All right, I have no clue what I'm going to do for this chapter… -Sigh- This is becoming confusing. Well, let's hope I work it out while I'm writing it. Now let's begin, shall we?


"Come on, Shukaku, I didn't think that you'd be this easy."

"Get off of me!" I was shaken off. No matter, I'll still win. Shukaku fired another three air bullets at me. I dodged two, and knocked the third one back at him. While he was busy eliminating that, I jumped behind him and swiped my claws down his back. Then I kicked him into an upturned rock…


"AAHHH!!" Something had landed practically on top of me! Wait, it was the Shukaku! "Oh no! I messed up the transformation!" Shukaku got back up and charged into battle. "I'm sick of this, I can fight without transforming!" I followed him into battle. Temari and Kankuro looked very tired and out of chakra. These weren't good odds. I focused my chakra.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Hundreds of clones surrounded me. We all charged at the Demon Cat thing.

Uzumaki Naruto Nisen Rendan! Uzumaki Barrage!

"So you want to play, huh?" Some of us tried to kick her, but she was fast! Faster than even Lee! She ended up knocking out half of my clones! "You're weak, Uzumaki. Bring out my real opponent, fool." She knocked out the rest of my clones with a swift swoop of her two tails. She hit me and I went flying into a building.

"Stop this! Mika, I know you're still in there! Come on!" I remembered how she snapped out of it before… Would I have to…? A huge fireball was coming at me! I tried to get out of the way in time, but it was too late! I cursed myself and waited for the impact, shutting my eyes. When nothing came, I looked up. The Shukaku had stepped in front of me! But why? I could see Gaara maybe, but the Shukaku!?

"Come on kid, move! I'm too slow to beat her, you need to transform already!" Oh, well, I guess that makes more sense then. He attacked the cat again, but he was right, she was too fast for him. That's it, I'm out of options!

"Shukaku! Help me get onto her!" The Shukaku looked over a second before reaching out his hand.

"I still don't like you, you know."

"You don't have to! Look, we need to work together!!"

"You think I don't know that?"

"Well find a way to get me on her head!" She was coming at us now. Shukaku waited to be attacked, and then when she was close, I jumped onto her. I grabbed on. "Whoa, she's fast!!" I shouted. "All right, let's do this!" I jumped down to where Mika was, the actual her, asleep on the demon's forehead. I punched, but I missed! Suddenly, Mika melted into the cat!

"Haha!! Do you think I'm that stupid? I won't let you wake her up that easily, fool!" She reappeared further away from me. "You can't win, idiot, I'm unstoppable."

"Fine, then I'll just attack you!" I created a clone and began focusing my chakra.

Rasengan!

I aimed for between her eyes, but she suddenly spun around really fast! I lost my concentration and fell off of her! I fell and fell. 'Oh no, I can't do anything to stop my fall! What will happen when I hit the ground?' I felt something up against me, and I felt my fall soften. Then with a small thud I realized that someone had caught me and we were on the ground now. Whoever it was stood me up. I turned and saw that it was Temari.

"Rasengan, huh? Amazing."

"Oh, uh… thanks?"

"Hey you two, you need to get back to the fight!" Kankuro shouted at us. Temari nodded and jumped away. What do I do now? I couldn't hit her with a punch or my Rasengan. The Shukaku couldn't either! Could there be no way to stop this?


I was tossed away and landed harshly on the ground. Would I be able to defeat her? The Nekomata was the worst possible demon for me to fight against, and on top of that her host was smart. If Naruto didn't transform this wouldn't end well for me at all. I was taken by surprise when she bit into my neck. I had to get free! I twisted and turned but I couldn't escape! Was I a goner? Then I saw an orange blur jump in front of my face.


'If the Shukaku can't escape, Gaara can!' I punched Gaara in the face.

"Kid, what are you doing!?!?" Shukaku shouted at me before Gaara fully woke up. Gaara's eyes opened. He immediately looked up at me and then let his sand form of Shukaku slip away.

"Uzumaki, why did you do that!? You punk, you're mine!" She charged at me, but I felt Gaara's sand enclose around my arm and I was dragged away before she could attack me.

"Well, I wouldn't say that was what I was hoping you'd do, but if you hadn't I would have probably died." If that was his way of saying thanks, he needed to work on it a little. "But now, we're no match for her, and I don't have much chakra left to do much more."

"Well, we need to get onto her first of all. It won't do us any good to be on the ground!" Gaara nodded and his sand thrust us through the air.

"Hold on."

"Hold on to what?" Really, I mean, we were riding on his sand! And I was so not holding on to Gaara… We managed to get onto her head again, luckily.

"What do you two think you're doing? You can't do anything to me from up there." I ignored the evil creature and focused my attention on Mika.

"Mika, listen to me! Fight her! I know you're in there, come on! You always said that you were so strong, well now you can prove it!!"


"Mika, listen to me!" Huh? What was that? "Fight her! I know you're still in there, come on!" I know that voice… "You always said you that you were so strong, well now you can prove it!!" What's he talking about? Where am I? I opened my eyes. I saw blackness. A vision? No… something was happening. What was going on? I couldn't remember… it was all so fuzzy… "Gaara, help me out here… whoa!" That was that kid… with the yellow hair, right? Gaara… that's what he said. That was that red haired kid with sand. Suddenly I saw something. It looked like a fight. Gaara and… Naruto, that was his name, were standing on some thing with red fur that looked like flames. Naruto had said 'Fight her,' did he mean this thing? How can I do that, though? I'm in this dream place…

"Naruto, this is stupid, it's not working!" Not working? It has to be working… I was dreaming now, and I wasn't before… I had to tell them to keep trying…

"Gaara…"

"Was that Mika?" Naruto asked. In my dream I saw Gaara nod. "It is working then! Come on Mika, you can do it!"

"That's enough." I heard a loud and menacing voice. Gaara and Naruto's voices were quiet and hard to understand, but this voice almost seemed to come from inside me! Then I remembered. "Stop this you foolish children, you cannot awaken her. Transform so I can fight the demons!" I had to fight this thing. I will have control!


Shorter chapter, but I don't feel like writing more, so get over it. I'm gonna post this and then try and entertain myself.
