Chapter 13:Dreams
Yugito was in a forest that she didn't recognize. She looked around to see where she was, but couldn't see much because of heavy fog. The only thing that pierced through was the intense moonlight. A very house cat was on one of the branches. To her surprise she could see that it was almost half of her size. She could see the cat's big yellow eyes, but other than that she couldn't tell what color it was. Yugito assumed it was a dark cat. As she slowly walked by the cat, it didn't take its eyes off her and this gave her the creeps. Even as passed the cat, she could sense cat's eyes piercing through her back. She walked for another minute or two and looked back. Yugito could still see the two little glowing eyes looking at her.
She walked for another five minutes in the darkness until she saw two little lights. As she came closer and closer to the lights she realized that it wasn't a light. It was huge eyes. Was it the same eyes as before? Yugito walked pass it, this time a little faster. The cat kept its eyes on her as before. It was still giving her the same stare. She walked for another minute or so, but this time didn't look back. Her heart was racing. Yugito knew that the cat still had its eyes locked on her. She quickened her pace almost to a run now. After another minute or so she looked to her left side and saw a small fox barely larger than a house cat that was injured. It was panting heavily and bleeding heavily through its nose. Yugito walked up to it. She could see that it was terrified. Just then she heard something land behind her. The cat was coming towards her with his huge eyes looking at her. She froze because of her fear. The cat ran up to her closer and closer, just as it was about five feet from her, it eyes immediately went blood red. Just as the cat passed by her, she couldn't believe it, but she could see that there was an evil smile that it had. She thought that the cat was going to attack her, but instead it picked up the nearby small fox by its mouth and took it to a nearby branch. It ripped the small fox's stomach and began to eat the insides. It still had its eyes locked on Yugito when it was eating the small fox. Its eyes had changed back to yellow.
Yugito wanted to save the poor fox, but knew that it was already dead. She continued to walk forward. After ten minutes or so she saw what looked like a small fire. Yugito proceed to walk towards the flame. She cautiously walked towards the flame. As she got closer and closer she could see some outlines of people. She was about twenty feet from them. Yugito could hear some whispers, but couldn't make out what they were saying. She proceed to walk closer and could now see that there were ten figures. One of the figures did not look right though. It was in an awkward position and didn't look like he or she was standing on the ground. No, it looked like he or she was mindlessly floating a couple of feet in the air with his or her neck in a weird position. Yugito wanted to see what was happening so she walked closer. Just then the other nine people turned around. They didn't say a word, but just stood there. Suddenly the small flame burst and she could see the faces of the nine people. Each of them had a huge smile on their face. It was Akatsuki. She looked at the other figure and saw with her horror that it was Naruto. He wasn't floating like she thought. He was hung from a branch, lifeless. She screamed, but nothing came out. She tried to run forward, but somehow she was running in place. She tried to run as fast as she could, but it seem like she was being pulled back somehow. The nine figure still looking at her with their evil smile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yugito, Yugito, wake up," Naruto said. He was shaking by her should very hard, but she wouldn't wake up. Yugito was kicking and turning. She opened her eyes and "BAMMM," she pushed Naruto with such a force that he hit the ceiling and left a huge imprint of himself from the impact. He was dazed for a little bit from the attack. As he slowly fell from the ceiling she jumped up and swiped at him with her right hand. This sent him to the wall. Naruto sled down the wall and got up. When he got up he could see Yugito on standing on the bed. There was a purple flame surrounding her and two tails coming from behind her. Her stance was also completely different. Yugito was hunched over with her hands dangling in front of her. Her fingers also had claws now. The most noticeable difference was her eyes. Her eyes weren't the blue soft eyes anymore. They were now slitted and yellow.
Naruto could hear a loud bang at the door. Kato and Lee were at the other side trying to break in, but somehow they couldn't.
"Stand back Lee," Kato said. He kicked the door as hard as he could, but it didn't budge. Something was keeping it locked.
"I sense something else in you," Yugito said. It wasn't her voice anymore. It was a low voice and very ancient.
"Yugito wake up," Naruto yelled.
Yugito didn't listen, but immediately jumped at Naruto and tried to swipe him with her left hand. He dodged by jumping onto the ceiling, but he was fast enough to evade one of her tail and Naruto was grabbed by the waist. His arms were also between the tail so he couldn't do anything. Naruto could feel that his arms and waist was burning. The chakra is burning me.
Yugito slowly pulled Naruto towards and looked at him. She gave a menacing laugh.
"So this is why I was set free." Yugito laughed in the same menacing laugh. "She was dreaming about you. This is the first time I've been let free."
"Let her go," Naruto said.
Yugito grabbed Naruto's face with her right hand. His face was burning now, but he couldn't do anything because her tail was still wrapped around him. Yugito slammed him so hard into the wall that he went through the wall and into the walkway. Yugito turned to her right and saw two people. She dropped Naruto and slowly walked towards Lee and Kato.
"Lee, we have to kill her," Kato said. Lee nodded. Lee immediately took off his weights. He flew at her at a high speed, but Yugito swung one of her tails and knocked him to the ground. She jumped at Lee while he was still on the ground and tried to punch him in the stomach. He managed to move just enough, but the attack still grazed the right side of his stomach. When she removed her hand there was a hole where her hand used to be. Lee crouched holding his stomach from the pain. He could feel his side burning also.
Kato jumped at Yugito, but he received a right roundhouse kick which sent him down the stairs.
Yugito could feel something coming from behind her and immediately swiped one of her tail. This knocked Naruto back straight through the bathroom door and sent him head first to the edge of the bathtub. The side of his head was bleeding now. He slowly got up and could see Yugito running at him. She tackled him by his stomach and they went straight through the bathroom wall. They were outside now and were falling down from the second story.
Yugito lost hold of Naruto while they were falling. They landed on their backs and Yugito got up first. Naruto got up also knowing that the ground wasn't a good place to be. I got to take this some place else. There are too much people here. He quickly jumped on the rooftop and started hopping from roof to roof. Yugito jumped on the rooftops also and followed him. He looked back and could see that she was gaining on him. Naruto crossed his finger and said, "Kage Bunshin." Two shadow clones popped out and tried to attack Yugito, but as soon as they got close to her they disappeared in a puff of smoke. She sent one of her tails at him tripped him. Naruto fell down hard face first. He could feel Yugito near him and turned around. She was in mid-air ready to attack his face with her claw like hand. He managed to dodge and she punched through the roof. Yugito's right hand was stuck in the roof. Naruto used this opportunity to get further away from her. She managed to free herself and resumed her chase.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Raikage-sama," a voice said. There was also a knock on his door.
"Come in," the Raikage said.
"Can you feel that, it's Yugito. We've got to stop her," the shinobi said.
The Raikage just looked out the window, "No, I see that someone else is already. Let's hope that they both die."
The shinobi looked confused, "But, surely you don't mean that."
"Do you question my reasoning? Yugito is no longer important to this village. She has become weak and we do NOT need weak shinobis," he answered in a loud voice.
"So, we're just going to let her run around and kill all the people in this village?" the shinobi asked him.
"No, we're going to let that boy kill her and hopefully she kills him in the process," the Raikage answered.
He knew that he couldn't kill Naruto directly because if the Hidden Village of Leaf found out that he killed Naruto then war would break loose. If Yugito killed Naruto, but survived then they'll offer her as an apology. If Naruto killed Yugito, the Hidden Village of Cloud will pressure the Hidden Village of Leaf to hand over Naruto. The Raikage knew that the boy was close with the Hokage, but he also knew that most of the council didn't want the boy in their village. He also couldn't kill Yugito directly because the council still thought of her as useful. The Raikage remember when Jiraiya brought the boy to town. He didn't care much about the boy at first, but as time went by he could see that the boy was affecting Yugito. None of the council thought this, but he knew they were wrong. Now that the boy has come back, he could clearly see that he was right. Yugito was no longer needed in the village. The Raikage looked out his window and hoped that they killed each other.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto reached the training area and stopped. Yugito jumped on the stage and stopped also.
"So you're not going to run anymore," the ancient voice said.
"I never planned to run away from you. I needed a good location," Naruto said.
He knew this was the only way to stop the Nibi.
Fox, I need your help.
Two red big eyes opened and a grin appeared.
So you've finally decided that you need me after all. I though you stopped using me after you hurt your sensei?
This isn't the time for that. Come on stupid fox or we'll die.
Is that a threat kit? I don't feel like it, the Kyuubi said in a boring toneJust then the Kyuubi felt an ancient power. The Kyuubi smiled.
Alright kit, just cause I want to show how strong I am compare to others I will help you. The Kyuubi laughed and faded into the background.
Yugito was walking slowly towards Naruto when she felt something. She stopped and smiled. The ancient voiced said, "is it really who I think it is? Is that you, you damn fox. I thought I felt something different radiating from this kid. I can see this will be better than I expected."
Red flames started to surround Naruto and he sprouted a tail. After a few moments more tails were appearing until it got up to five tails. His eyes became slits and changed from the soft blue color into bright red. Naruto's canines and nails also grew a lot longer.
What are you doing kit? I said I would give you some power. Why are you using only this much? It will be hard to beat the Nibi like this, the Kyuubi said in a loud voice.
I have to be able to control the Kyuubi since Yugito can't control her bijuu right now. I can't risk losing control, Naruto thought to himself.
Shut up fox, I know what I'm doing.
You're going to get us killed you stupid boy.
Naruto ignored the Kyuubi.
"Is that all you have?" said Yugito in her ancient voice.
Naruto started doing some handseals, "Lightning Paralysis." Yugito jumped out of the way before his jutsu could trap her. Naruto did the same handseals again and again he missed. Yugito came towards him trying to attack his chest, but Naruto brought up four of his tails to block the attack. With his fifth tail he grabbed Yugito. After blocking her attack he also used his other tails to hold her tighter.
"Come on Yugito, find a way through it," Naruto told her.
Yugito just gave him an evil grin. Her chakra shot up and she broke through his hold. They were standing face to face about ten feet apart.
She went to attack him again and Naruto proceed to block her attacks.
What are you doing kit? Attack her, the Kyuubi said.
Shut up fox, I said I know what I'm doing.
Naruto didn't listen to the Kyuubi and began blocking the attacks again. This went on for about four minutes when Yugito finally stopped. They were about twenty feet from each other.
"Haha, fox. You're pretty weak. I guess I'll kill you and name myself the strongest of us all," Yugito said.
The Kyuubi tried to force more chakra into the boy, but was stopped. The boy's chakra was holding his back. The seal was also holding back his chakra. The Kyuubi was getting mad. He was mad at the stupid boy for not fighting back. He cursed the Yondaime for sealing him inside a weak vessel that wouldn't attack another person. The Kyuubi was pissed at the Nibi for mocking him. He knew that the stupid cat wouldn't stand a chance if they weren't both sealed. He ran towards the cage with full strength, but was repelled back by the seal.
Yugito did a few handseals and said, "Pa-puru Hinotama (Purple Fireball)." About fifty purple flames the size of volleyballs appeared behind Yugito. They went straight for Naruto at high speeds. He managed to dodge all of them. Before he notice, Yugito already had another set of fireballs behind her. This time there were a lot more, about a hundred of them. Again they went after Naruto. He managed to dodge them most, but was hit by a few. The flames immediately caused some damage to him even though he was covered by the Kyuubi's chakra. This continued for another minute or so.
Yugito finally stopped and laughed, "Look like it's finished."
Naruto couldn't understand why the Nibi thought it was finished. He then looked to his left and saw about a hundred purple flames to his side. He then looked to his right in which he saw the same thing. Naruto already knew what was behind him. He was so concentrated on dodging the fireballs that he didn't see the previous ones setting themselves up by him.
Yugito quickly sent the last of her fireball in front of him. She didn't hit him yet, but now he was enclosed. Naruto didn't have a way of escaping.
Yugito put out her right hand with her palms opened. "Good-bye fox," she said and she closed her hands. As she did this, all the fireballs enclosed on Naruto. Naruto went into a defensive stance, blocking his face with his hands and arms, but the flames were too much.
After the attack Naruto was on the floor unconscious. He had third-degree burns and was bleeding from head to toe.
Yugito went up to him and saw that the kid was already beginning to heal itself. She did some handseals, "Bijuu Gokuin (Bijuu Seal)" and placed her hands on his stomach. There was a huge X right on top of Naruto's stomach.
"That should stop you, fox," she said. Yugito grabbed Naruto with her left hand by the throat and looked at him. She pulled him up a little and pulled her right hand back. Yugito concentrated her chakra into her right hand and punched through Naruto's right chest.
Suddenly her eyes were changed from the slit eyes back to her blue ones. They began changing back and forth from yellow to blue. She grabbed her head and kneeled on the floor. She was rolling on the floor with her hands clenching her head.
"NOOOOO," Yugito shouted. She was fighting for control of her body.
No, not now, the Nibi thought to itself. Then her eyes finally changed to being completely blue again. She was exhausted, but she vividly saw what happened and she knew that she had to save Naruto. Yugito went quickly to Naruto and placed her ears on his heart. She could still feel a faint heartbeat. Hold on Naruto, please. She placed the bloody Naruto on her shoulders and went to the hospital as quickly as she could.
When she got there, she could see a nurse reading something inside of the hospital at the counter. Yugito tried to open the glass door, but found that it was locked. She banged on the door and the nurse looked up. The nurse just put her head down again and started reading. Yugito knocked hard again, but the nurse ignored it.
Yugito knew that they weren't going to help her. She was furious. She didn't care that they wouldn't help her, but they weren't helping Naruto. Yugito broke the glass door with a hard kick and left. She knew that they wouldn't let her use any of their equipment so that's why she decided to leave.
She was worried now and didn't know what to do. The only thing left was to take Naruto back to her house and that's what she did.
When she got back to her house she jumped through the second floor wall instead of going through the door. She landed in the bathtub and proceed to carry Naruto to their room.
When she got in the hall she saw Lee and Kato. Kato was helping Lee walk to his room. Lee's stomach was wrapped in a huge bandage, but he was looking okay. She could see a huge blood stain going through the bandage though. Kato's left arm looked broken.
"I'm…" Yugito said.
She was interrupted by Lee. He gave her a weak thumbs-up and said, "Don't worry about that, it looks like Naruto needs your help more than us. We can talk about it later."
She nodded and went to her room. Yugito placed Naruto on the bed. She could see that he wasn't breathing now. Yugito placed her ears on his chest. She couldn't hear or feel a heartbeat. Her heart sank.
She knew what she had to do. It was a life or death situation. This was the only way that she could save him. It might cost her life, but she didn't even think twice about it. She did some handseals, "Itonami Shearingu (Life Sharing)." Her body gave a slight blue glow. Yugito placed him on the bed. She held him close to her trying to have the most body contact as possible. Yugito pulled the blanket over them. A tear dropped from her eye. Please don't die Naruto.
Her chakra was already beginning to waver after the first hour, but she willed herself to continue. To keep this will, she thought about what would happen if she lost conciousness or gave up. She knew that she could never let that happen and she continued in silence keeping this thought on her head so that she wouldn't give up.
She held him for another four hours when she felt him move a little. He was also breathing slightly. Yugito could sense that his circulation, respiratory, and nervous system was back, but he was still unconscious. She decided that she would hold the jutsu until he woke up just in case.
It was another thirty minutes before Naruto opened his eyes. It was morning, about six o'clock when he woke up. His body was aching all over. He could tell that he still wasn't healed and still couldn't move.
"Hey," he said in a weak voice with a smile.
"Naruto," she said. Tears rolled down her eyes.
"I thought you would be happy seeing me alive," Naruto said laughing a little.
"I am, it's just that… that… I thought I losted you," Yugito said.
"Well, I'm still okay. I can't move right now though, so I guess I'll just stay where I am. I like it here anyways," Naruto said to her and he put his arms around her waist. He fell asleep from the exhaustion.
"I like it with you also Naruto," she said to him, but he was already asleep. As soon as she released the jutsu Yugito fell asleep also from the exhaustion.
It was about six in the afternoon when they Naruto up. Naruto's wounds were feeling a little bit better, but not by much. Most of his minor wounds and minor burns were healed already. He didn't move off Yugito because he didn't want to wake her up. Naruto was surprised when he lifted the blanket. They were covered in blood. He just held her and decided that he would get up when she woke up also.
It was about thirty minutes before Yugito woke up. She gave Naruto a sad look.
They just stared at each other for a minute or so. Naruto didn't want her to apologize for what she did so he said, "maybe we should shower, we are kind of bloody."
She just nodded her head a little. Yugito got up from the bed and grabbed a towel. She also grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom downstairs because there was a huge hole in the second floor bathroom. She was glad that Lee and Kato weren't downstairs yet.
Naruto also got up and put on some shorts even though he hasn't showered yet. Yesterday was quite a night, he thought to himself. Naruto grabbed the bloody blanket, bedsheet covers, and Yugito's bloody clothes. He put them in the corner. Naruto went downstairs and waited for Yugito to get out of the shower. It was about ten minutes before Yugito got out of the shower. Naruto went to take his shower.
When he came out he could see that Kato, Lee, and Yugito were sitting in the dining table waiting for him so that they could start eating. Kato was wearing a sling around his left arm while Lee had a huge bandage across his stomach.
No one talked while they were eating.
After everyone was finished Naruto took the dishes to the sink.
"Can I talk to Lee alone?" Yugito asked the group.
Naruto and Kato nodded and they stepped outside of the house.
"So, what is it that you want Yugito?" Lee asked her, already knowing the answer.
"I'm sorry about yesterday Lee," Yugito said.
"Don't worry, Kato told me all about it already. It wasn't you," Lee told her and gave her a thumbs-up and a huge smile.
"But I almost killed you," Yugito said to him.
"What? You mean this," Lee pointed at his stomach. "Don't worry this is nothing. Like I said earlier, it wasn't you that almost killed me. It was the thing inside of you. There's a difference Yugito and you should know that."
"But…" Yugito tried to say something, but Lee just held up his right hand telling her that he didn't want to hear her explanation of how it was her fault for his injuries.
Yugito sighed and asked, "Did Kato also tell you about Naruto?"
"Yes, he did," Lee answered her. "Naruto's still the same person and so are you. I would have like to know sooner, but I guess it's okay. I'm pretty sure the rest of the group would also like to know sooner than later, but it's not my decision when to let them know. I'll leave that up to you guys."
"Thank you Lee," Yugito said to him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kato and Naruto walked outside.
Naruto was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"I don't want to her that ever again from you Kato-sensei. It's never something that should be said," Naruto said to him breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?" Kato asked him, not knowing what Naruto was talking about.
"When Yugito was being controlled by the Nibi I heard you said to Lee that you guys have to kill her. I don't ever want to hear something like that coming from you again," Naruto said to him. It wasn't in an angry voice, but a sad one.
"I'm sorry Naruto, but that was what Yugito said for me a long time ago when she was young. She told me that if she ever lost control of her bijuu, that I should kill her," Kato told him.
"It doesn't matter. I won't let anyone hurt her even if she isn't herself," Naruto answered.
"Let me ask you a question. How would you feel if you lost control and killed all of your friends or your village? Would you rather have you friends kill you or survive and have them dead? How would you live after knowing that you've killed all of your friends?" Kato asked Naruto. He also wasn't anger, but want to know what Naruto thought.
Naruto has always thought about this and already knew his answer.
"I would want my friends to kill me. I would rather die than kill my friends," Naruto answered.
"You see, that's the exact way that Yugito feels," Kato responded.
"Even so, I don't want to hear those words again. I will protect you guys if this happens again, but I will also protect her from you guys if this ever happens again," Naruto responded.
Kato nodded, stating that he understood. He would protect Yugito's from anyone even if she was taken over by the Nibi.
Naruto changed the subject, "Was this the first time?"
"Yes, this was the first time that it happened. I thought the Nibi could only take memories. I didn't know that it could possess a person also. There was always a chance that it could, but Yugito never let it get control of her before even when she was a child. I thought that it would have been easier when she was younger, but it never happened. That's one of the reason why I thought that she couldn't get taken over," Kato told him.
"What did you think happened then?" Naruto asked him.
"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure she must have had one bad nightmare. It happened when she was asleep so I'm pretty sure I'm correct," Kato answered.
Naruto wanted to know if Kato told Lee, "Did you tell Lee then, about our problem?"
"Yes I figured he should know after what he went through. I told him about you and Yugito," Kato replied.
"How did he take it?" Naruto asked.
"Just like a true friend would. He said that you were still the same person and that she was still Yugito."
Lee opened the door and said, "Yugito and I are finished talking. You guys can come back in if you want."
Naruto and Kato went back inside.
"I guess we should fix the hole in the bathroom and in the hall. I'll go buy some wood," Kato said to them. He left the house. It was fifteen minutes before he came back with some wood. Lee and Kato worked on the hole in the hall while Naruto and Yugito worked on the hole in the bathroom. They also cleaned up the bloodstain that was left by Lee. It was pretty late when they finished patching the two holes. Lee and Kato went to their respective rooms after finishing the hole.
Naruto was in the room that Yugito and he shared. He was lying in his sleeping bag by himself waiting until Yugito came up. They threw away the bloody clothes, blanket, and bed.
Is she coming to bed? It's kind of late.
He waited another 30 minutes. After waiting for thirty minutes, he was worried about her so he decided to look for her.
Yugito was sitting on the chair in the kitchen thinking to herself, I almost killed him. I can't let that happen again. I must distance myself from him so that I can't harm him. Just then she heard footsteps coming from the second floor.
Naruto went downstairs and could see Yugito sitting on the chair. She was wearing long shorts and an oversized shirt that was probably Kato's.
He went and sat next to her, "Thanks for saving me Yugito?"
"What are you talking about? I almost killed you," she replied.
"No, I know that you saved me from the last attack. If you weren't there, the Nibi would have attacked in a different spot."
She didn't say anything for a long time. Even though Naruto was saying this, she couldn't believe it. It was her fault that he almost died and now he's thanking her, "I can't put you in danger again." She just looked straight ahead instead of looking at him.
Naruto replied, "What are you saying?"
"You know what I'm talking about," Yugito answered him.
"It wasn't you Yugito. Didn't I say that it was you who saved me? You have to make the distinction," Naruto told her.
She just stared straight ahead not answering him for a long time.
"We can't sleep together," Yugito said.
"Look I promise that I would try to wake you up whenever I can right? If we're not sleeping together then I can't do that. You should know that I don't go back on promises," Naruto told her.
"It was different, I only wanted you to wake me when I was having a nightmare, not when I was taken over," Yugito replied.
"No, it's the same. You can't get rid of me anyways," Naruto said looking at her. She still couldn't look at him.
"Please Naruto, I can't go through what happened yesterday again," she pleaded with him.
"You don't know how it's like, almost killing someone who you care for. Sometimes I wished that I wasn't alive," Yugito said to him.
Naruto immediately grabbed her upper arms and turned her around to see if she was serious about her last words. He looked into her eyes for a second and could see that she was.
"Don't ever think like that again Yugito," Naruto told her.
She could see that he was very angry. This was the first time that she had seen him this mad. Naruto didn't even look this angry when Jiraiya was killed by the snake-sennin.
"I know what you meant by that, not wanting to be alive," Naruto said.
"And to answer your question, I do know how it's like to be taken over. The Kyuubi took possession of me once during my training with sensei and I almost killed him. After the incident I felt like taking my life. My logic was that if I wasn't alive then I couldn't harm the people I care about. Sensei immediately sensed this and told me what it means to do something like that. He said that taking your life wasn't the answer. Only a weak person would something like that and it wouldn't accomplish anything. He told me to think of how my friends would feel if I do something that cowardly. Sensei told me that it was selfish to do something like that to them. And if you do something like that then you'll be taking the most important thing away from me," Naruto told her.
He let her think for a moment before saying in a serious voice, "Promise me that you won't ever think like that again."
It was the first time that Naruto had ever asked her to promise him something. She wasn't thinking clearly before, but it made sense now. Naruto was right. If the roles were reversed and he took his life I could never forgive him for doing something like that.
"I'm sorry Naruto. I promise I won't think like that ever again," Yugito replied.
Naruto changed the subject after she promised him, "So, what were you dreaming about?"
Yugito just became silent for a moment and turned around. She had her back to him again.
"You know it'll be better once you tell someone," Naruto told her.
She made a sigh, "I was dreaming about Akatsuki. They had killed you and somehow I was running towards you, but I couldn't save you. I couldn't get closer no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't scream or make a sound." Yugito was breathing faster now because of the memories of her nightmare.
Naruto just answered her, "If I weren't so worried about Akatsuki that night, you probably wouldn't have that dream. I'm sorry about that."
"No, it wasn't your fault," Yugito said in a low voice. She was calming down now after she had explained what happened in her nightmare.
"You should know why nee-chan let me come," Naruto said.
She nodded stating that she understood.
"So are you coming or do I have to drag you upstairs?" Naruto asked her with a raised eyebrow.
She was feeling a little bit better now and tried to convince herself that it really wasn't her fault, "Okay, we can go to sleep then."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The villagers were colder than usual towards Yugito and Naruto sensed this. They remained inside most of the time, but he didn't mind. Naruto already seen the village and just wanted to spend time with Yugito.
The two weeks went by too quick and it was time for Naruto and Lee to return home. Naruto hoped that Yugito would forget about what she said about Kato accompanying him back, but it seemed like she didn't. He tried to reason with his former sensei, but Kato sided with her also. They were at the gates of the Hidden Village of Cloud.
"I'm going to miss you Naruto," Yugito said.
"I'll be missing you too. Don't worry I'll write to you," Naruto said to her.
Naruto saw that Yugito had a worried face.
"Yugito, what's wrong?" Naruto asked. He already knew what was wrong, but didn't like the look on Yugito's face.
"You already know," Yugito responded.
"Come on, don't you remember what you told me that one night. You told me not to worry about Akatsuki so much. Now, this is definitely not suiting you. We'll come out okay, I promise," he said to her.
Heh, he promised. He never breaks his promises, Yugito thought to herself. This thought almost made her smile.
She tried to give a happy smile for Naruto, but it didn't work. Her face came out awkward. He knew she was very worried about him. It wasn't just his trip home that she was worried about. It was because she knew that they might attack him at any moment. Naruto went over there and held her in his arms.
"Please be careful Naruto," she said softly.
"I will, and you too," Naruto answered. With that he let go of her. The group began to leave down the mountain.
"Bye Yugito, I'll see you," Naruto said as he was leaving.
"You too," Yugito replied.
Jutsu Descriptions:
Yugito Transformation- (No Rank)A jutsu that calls upon the demon inside. This time she didn't call for Nibi's help, she was taken over. Can only be used by Yugito.
Naruto Transformation- (No Rank) A jutsu that calls upon the demon inside. Like Yugito, Naruto can also use his bijuu. Each tail represents how much extra chakra is given to him. Each sequential tail gives him more chakra exponentially. Can only be used by Naruto.
Pa-puru Hinotama: Purple Fireball- (S-Rank) A ninjutsu that shoots out many, many purple fireballs very rapidly. The fireballs are about the size of a volleyball. They are extremely hot because it's the flame of the Nibi. The dangerous thing is that even after being shot, the fireballs could still be controlled by the user. The only limit on how many purple fireballs that could be shot is how much chakra the user has. Can only be used by Nibi when it possesses Yugito.
Bijuu Gokuin: Bijuu Seal- (S-rank) A seal that seals the abilities of a bijuu. This can only be used on a jinchuruki. It has no effect on real bijuus. It is also only known by the nine bijuus. This sealing jutsu can only be used when the victim is unconscious. It lasts about four hours and cannot be removed.
Itonami Shearingu: Life Sharing- (S-rank) A jutsu that shares your circulatory, nervous, and respiratory with another person. It also transfers some of your blood to the other person if they're running out of blood. This is a higher dangerous jutsu that could also kill the user because their body has to work twice as hard to supply two people. The more contact between the two people, the better this jutsu works.
