Rating-PG for mild violence and kissing

Disclaimer-Naruto does not belong to me

Summary-During the Chunnin Exams Yuki (OC) encounters a strange boy that seems to be heartless named Gaara. Though she doesn't know yet, their relationship is actually deeper than it seems. But will it all come crashing down when she learns the real reason why Gaara is participating in the Chunnin Exams?

AN-Sucky title I know. So this is a story with Gaara in it and an OC named Yuki. I'll be switching from my OC's POV and Gaara's POV and I will tell you when I switch. Even though this takes place during the Chunin Exams Tsunade is Hokage already. You can make up a story about what happened to the Third but I just need her short-temper and sorta of youngness. And one more thing. Some lines are taken exactly from the manga or anime because I had a hard time rewording them. I'll mention it when it happens! Yeah... Hope you enjoy and please review!

AN – Alrighty. This chapter is mainly Jiraiya talking about Yuki's past so I'm going to tell you some things you should know.
Italics – Sort of like a flashback. So more scenery and thoughts.
"Regular" in Italics – Jiraiya narrating so there'll won't be much of that, but still should include
Italics Regular Italics – Thoughts in flashback
As you read you'll understand. Okay. Got it? Got it. Good! ^/-\^ (/.0)

Chapter 19
History

Somewhere far off from the Chunnin Exams, Jiraiya gazed at the sky thinking about Yuki. Wondering if she were okay and whether or not she was not emotionally breaking down about Naruto. Naruto had told him about what she had said and even Jiraiya was baffled at her harsh words.

But then a sudden wind filled with powerful chakra hit him hard in the face causing him to stumble backwards. His eyes widened as he recognized the chakra to be Kaibutsu's and he immediately rushed over to where it had come from.

:3 *-* 8D ^.^ T-T =p ;P

Yuki let Kaibutsu take control of her body though she did not let him take over her mind. No matter what, she told herself, I will keep my own mind. I will not let Kaibutsu take complete control over me. Even if it kills me.

The overwhelming strength of Kaibutsu's chakra easily broke the barrier as though it were paper-thin glass. Now Yuki looked like a completely different person. Her hair had found it's way out of the bun she had put it in that morning and had seemingly grown rather longer. Her eyes were completely black and tears of blood fell from them and dripped down her chin. Her pearly white teeth had turned into fangs that showed because her lip was curled up in anger. Under the pressure of the powerful chakra her clothes began to rip here and there.

"Oh my. I see I have succeeded. The power of Kaibutsu is quite overwhelming. I wonder how you kept it hidden for so long," Orochimaru said not at all scared by the girl ready to kill in before him.

Naruto watched his friend change from her fun self to this monster that scared the ever-living life out of him. Kaibutsu… Demon. Was that why she never let me see her room?

"Naruto! Sakura! Sasuke! Shikamaru!" Kakashi shouted. They all turned their heads to the jounin who was at the moment fighting another jounin affiliated Sunagakure. "Help Yuki!"

They all nodded their heads. But before they could jump out onto the field a big hand pushed them back. "No! It's too dangerous," Jiraiya said cursing at himself for being so slow. He looked down at the genin. "She can't be stopped unless she stops herself."

"What do you mean, Jiraiya? What's happening to Yuki down there?" Naruto demanded for answers as he held tightly onto the rail connected to the stands.

Jiraiya closed his eyes and sighed to himself. Yuki had begged him to never tell anyone about Kaibutsu and he has kept that promise ever since he had made it. Though now he felt it was a right time to break it. "It's Kaibutsu. He's taking control over her."

"Kaibutsu? But what is that? Some kind of monster?" Sakura asked as she stared at the youngest jounin.

Jiraiya's face turned red with anger at the mention of Yuki being a monster. "Don't you ever say that! Yuki isn't a monster!"

The pink kunoichi winced away from him. "I didn't call Yuki a monster. I called Kaibutsu a monster."

"Yet Kaibutsu is Yuki. Ugh. You wouldn't understand." Jiraiya rubbed his forehead as he figured out a way to explain what he was trying to say. But the only he found useful was telling them about Yuki's past. "When Yuki was five her parents were killed…"

"Yuki! Come down for dinner," Yuki's mother called from down in the kitchen.

Yuki ran down the stairs with a drawing she had made in her tiny hands. "Mama! Mama! Look what I made! A picture of you, daddy, and little Ebisu!" Yuki waved it in front of her mother's face. "See? See?" As she did this she jumped up and down with excitement.

Her mother laughed and she picked her up. "Why that is a beautiful picture!" Yuki beamed brightly at her mother's praise. "Would you like to help me stir the soup?" Yuki nodded and her mother placed her on the floor. "You keep stirring it while I go get your brother."

As Yuki stirred the pot filled to the brim with spicy shrimp soup her father came into the kitchen. "Mmm. What's cooking?"

"Shrimp soup," Yuki declared. She handed her father the picture she had drawn. "Look. Isn't it pretty?"

He put one of his hands on his hip in disbelief. "It's marvelous! I think we have an artist on our hands. This is so good it should be placed on The Wall." He took it and pinned it to a wall where they kept all of Yuki's best drawings or poems or other things like that.

"Okay now. Everyone to the dining room," Yuki's mother announced as she came into the kitchen with Yuki's baby brother, Ebisu.

They did as they were told and Yuki's father took Ebisu from her mother. As they sat around the table someone knocked on the door. Her father raised an eyebrow. "I wonder who that can be this late at night."

Yuki giggled at his funny expression. "I don't know. Would you like me to get it?"

"No sweetie," he got up from his seat, "I'll get it." He walked to the door while Yuki played around with Ebisu. Right when he opened it he was met with a kunai to his throat. Blood splattered everywhere as he stumbled around holding his throat.

The ruckus he caused made Yuki turn around to see what was happening and her eyes widened at the sight of her father dead on the floor. Her mother came out of the kitchen to see what all the noise was about and she saw Orochimaru. Knowing who he was she reached for a kunai she kept strapped to her thigh, yet didn't make it in time. Orochimaru threw a kunai straight through her throat as well. She gagged as blood pooled in her throat. "Take.. Ebisu… and run…" she managed to say before she fell to the floor her eyes now lifeless.

Yuki immediately obeyed her mother as she yanked her baby brother out of his baby seat and ran up the stairs. Orochimaru laughed. "Oh Yuki, my dear. You don't have to run. I won't hurt you."

But she didn't listen as she ran to her room and hid in her closet. Tears slightly fell from her eyes as she rocked back and forth holding her brother tight to her chest. Her heart stopped once she heard the door to her room open. Then came the door to the closet. "Found you," he whispered bending down to snatch Ebisu from her arms.

She desperately tried to stop him but his muscular arms were no match for her puny ones. He yanked the baby boy out of her hands and threw him across the room. The crying Ebisu was making instantly stopped when he hit the wall. Yuki could hear the splattering noise he made as his head concaved in from the wall. He fell to the floor with a soft thud.

Yuki stared at her baby brother with desolate eyes, endless tears falling. "Now that they're out of the way," Orochimaru sighed turning to look at his objection. He talked about her family as though they were nothing but nuisances.

"Who are you?" Yuki whispered.

He bent down next to her. "Your new guardian my dear," he said rubbing her cheek with his pale, cold hand. As she stared into his eyes Yuki completely forgot about her family and immediately wanted to go with the man who murdered them.

Yuki watched as her house burnt to the ground. "Come now dear," she heard Orochimaru call. With a smile on her face she ran to her new guardian and took his hand.

"Yuki was then taken to one of Orochimaru's hideouts where he trained her with the help of one his followers, Kabuto."

Yuki jumped in the air and sent a fuma shruiken flying towards Kabuto who dodged it easily, but was stabbed in the leg by the other concealed in the shadow of the first. She fell to the ground with a satisfied smile. Orochimaru then came in. "Look Orochimaru! I did it!"

The man with long black hair smiled. "Why you did, Yuki dear. Wonderful my dear. Now come and eat dinner." He turned to Kabuto and pulled the shruiken out of his leg causing him to groan in pain. "Go to the infirmary to get that healed."

Yuki sat around the rectangular table right across from Orochimaru and next to Kabuto who glared at her in disgust, though she didn't seem to notice as she scarfed down her food with a happy smile on her face. Orochimaru grinned mischievously as he put down his gold goblet filled with wine. "Yuki, dear?"

She looked up at him while wiping her face clean with her napkin. "Yes Orochimaru?"

"I believe you are ready now, dear. To have the tests done." Kabuto smirked to himself as he ate a bite of his food. If only this girl knew what she was getting herself into, he thought to himself.

Yuki's eyes, on the other hand, widened with glee. She would finally be able to fulfill her master's wishes! "When Orochimaru? When can I have the tests done so I can become a powerful weapon for you?" She was practically jumping up and down in her seat.

Orochimaru chuckled. "Patience, my dear. Patience."

"Not knowing what she was getting herself into Yuki allowed Orochimaru to experiment on her. But just before he execute his plan he erased all of Yuki's memories in an attempt to make her more loyal."

"So when she wakes up the procedure will be done and she won't remember anything?" Kabuto questioned an annoyed tone in his voice. "Then what was the point of having her train with me all those years?"

Orochimaru snickered as he flicked the syringe in his hand before plunging it into the skin of the small girl before him who slept peacefully. "Oh, Kabuto. The only memories I will be erasing will be those that could possibly give her doubt in following and obeying my every command."

Kabuto nodded his head as he typed something into his computer, which was hooked up to Yuki along with other electronic devices. "I see. Blood pressure is normal. Commence incision."

"With pleasure." Orochimaru smirked, placing the knife over Yuki's back just below her collarbone. Blood pooled around the knife as he cut deeper into her skin. "Mmm. It's so warm," he chuckled, the blood covering his bare fingers.

Kabuto, who now stood next to his master, handed him another syringe with a bright neon blue substance in it. "Here. Be careful inserting it or else she will be put under electric shock."

"Kabuto. I know what I am doing." The snake-like man snatched the syringe from his pawn's hands and carefully inserted it one of Yuki's vertebrae causing it to turn that certain vertebra into the same color the substance was. "Perfect. Prepare second insertion."

Kabuto smiled before going to fetch the second syringe filled with a lighter blue substance. Once again Orochimaru inserted the substance into one of Yuki's vertebrae.

"But Orochimaru didn't know the amount of willpower Yuki had."

"Where am I?" Yuki asked no one in particular. Everything around her was black and a light that shined from nowhere shined just above her. "Hello? Anyone here? Am I asleep?"

Still no one answered her. Then all of a sudden the ground around her turned to water as she plunged into a hole of bright blue water. She swished her arms through it yet no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't reach the top. Finally the water around her emptied and she fell back onto the black surface she had just been on.

"Ha! It's so very easy to take over you little girl! Why was I placed in such a weaklings body?" Yuki looked up at her place on the floor drenched in water to see that the water had taken on the of a wolf-like animal.

Slowly standing up she asked, "Who are you?"

The animal barked in what appeared to be laughter before snarling in reply, "I am Mizu."

"Mizu," Yuki repeated before a cold wind breezed past Yuki's wet body causing her to shiver. Out of nowhere another wolf-like animal appeared next to Mizu though this one was a lighter blue with hints of green here and there. His body seemed to be made up of condensed wind. "Who are you?"

"I am Kaze," it replied. It circled around Mizu and smiled. "You must be Mizu. You know, together we make Koori." Mizu smiled in reply before leaping onto Kaze. They merged together and turned into an icy figure but were now larger together.

"The both of us together make Koori and we can easily overpower you," Koori growled before letting out a loud roar. Yuki covered her ears prior to being knocked over by the pressure of Koori's chakra. He smiled wickedly showing his long pointy teeth. "Just wait till the others come."

Yuki looked up in disbelief. "There are more?"

"Hibana, Inazuma, and Tsuchi," he replied. Koori chuckled. "Now say goodbye to your meek little body." It pounced at Yuki who was kneeled in a corner crying to herself as she wished for it to all go away.

And then realization hit her. "My body! That's where we are. I'm simply unconscious. Meaning I'm still in control." She rose from her curled and stood before the monster now unafraid. "I command you to stop this instant."

Koori did as he was told laughing as he did. "What, little girl? Do you seriously believe you can overcome me?"

"This is my body. I have control over it. That means I can control you and lock you up," Yuki declared. Then out of nowhere a large gust of chakra erupted from Yuki that even she didn't know she had. It easily overwhelmed Koori who withered away from Yuki.

"Yuki woke up during the operation and got away from Orochimaru. The incision was still deep in her skin and it got infected so she became extremely sick. But then Naruto found her at the outskirts of Konohagakure and brought her to me and I in turn brought her to Tsunade," Jiraiya finished.

Now the mouths of the four genin next to him were wide open. "Yuki," Naruto whispered instantly feeling regret for having rejected her apology earlier. If only he knew what she were going through.

Alright. Now some of you might be thinking that Kaibutsu has a ton of names. But Mizu, Kaze, Hibana, Inazuma, and Tsuchi are all just the elements by themselves. Koori is simply Mizu and Kage merged making ice. But all together they are Kaibutsu. Hope you understand.
