Ten Tails of the Gods


Summary: Neji Hyuuga. A cool, calm, semi-sweet, talented Ninja. Unknown to the whole village of Konoha, he has a younger half-sister! Hinata knows. The Hyuuga clan knows, and oddly enough...So does another Ninja; Sasuke Uchiha. But, what is it about this girl that he remembers? 10 years ago, she went missing, but know she's back, and streaming from her person, is a powerful, god-like chakra. Why has she come back? And where did she get this god-like chakra?

Time placement: After the two year jump, but i didn't feel like putting some characters in their new outfits, so i just kept them the same. Tvs, phones, an stuff like that exists.

Notes to ya'll: Written in first person, of none other than Neji's sister herself. Jumps from person to person at times, so ya'll can see what they feel an think.

Pairings: Um...mainly, SasuxOc...NaruxHina...maybe a lil of...LeexSaku...and NejixTen or NejixOc.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or i wouldn't be writing FanFics. The only things i own are the Oc's and the plot.

Last time: And I cried for a couple more minutes until I sat up, seeing he had passed out again. I dried my eyes, still sniffling and heard,

"Are you ready, yet? I gave you ten minutes." I looked to my right, seeing one lone Akatsuki. He had a hat on, rending his face from me.

"Yes…" I sniffled, getting up on my own.

"Good." He replied, grabbing my arm and letting me take one last look at my friends. Then it struck me. Why was he being so nice? Aren't Akatsuki evil?

Well, it was too late to ask. We were already gone; standing infront of a door…in some really beat up house. He opened the door and pushed me inside.

"Wait here…and don't think of escaping. Your fate is already sealed." Landing on the floor I whispered to myself,

"I know…at least everyone else is safe."

Sasuke's Pov

"Sa…ke…me…ke…up!!" Feeling a huge bust of pain on my stomach, I sat up.

"What?!" Opening my eyes, I found Hinata and Naruto sitting right near me. "What happened? I don't remember anything…"

"Yeah…neither do we." Hinata said, but my attention was tracked to Naruto, who was looking at something away from us.

"Guys…what's with the footprints?" He asked, pointing at them. Then, just as I looked at them, I got this feeling in my stomach…a bad feeling…what was I forgetting?

Naruto's Pov

I stared at these footprints I found…very strange…

"Guys, if we were the only ones here…where'd these footprints come from?"

"We weren't the only ones, Naruto." I heard Sasuke's grave tone and looked back at him. He stared at the prints with sad, weighty eyes. Then, Hinata gasped, eyes struck with fear.

"What are you two so sad about?" I asked. With tears in her eyes, Hinata looked at me.

"Remember?" Her voice was breaking, tears finally flowing down her cheeks. "K-Kyoko was with us."

I blinked.

"So th-that means…"

"Yes. They got her. " Sasuke spoke with pure anger in his voice. "I vaguely remember she tried to wake me up…she said something about leaving…and how we'd be safe…" He slammed his fist on the ground. "DAMN IT!!" He cursed.

"Uh…guys…who's gonna tell Neji?" Immediately, they both looked up at me.

"I will." Despite the fact we were all in pain, he stood up. "I'm the one who let them get her, didn't I?"

"You're an idiot. You think that taking all the blame will make her come back?" I stood up. How could he be soo stupid? Why the hell does he always do this? But, he turned to me, eyes as sharp as ever.

"No, I don't. I just want her back." He said.

"So do I!! She's my friend!!"

"Mine too." He replied. Now he was pissing me off.

"You don't even know her!!! She told me she knew this was gonna happen sooner or later!!! She told me a lot that even you don't know!!!"

"What?" He seemed to soften a bit…almost like he was hurt.

"Yeah!! She even told me she's sick of this life!! She was gonna run right after this!!!!" I boasted.

"Naruto-kun…she said that?" Hinata finally stood up, still quite teary eyed. "Why didn't she tell anyone else…we could've helped…"

"Nut-uh!!! She said that only I could understand her cause I'm the only one like her!!"

"Drop it. We hafta get back to the village. Hinata…why don't you go to the Hokage and let her know. We'll go tell Neji." She nodded her head at Sasuke's suggestion. He was a lot calmer. Suddenly, she vanished. "Let's go. You and I need to talk."

"Whatever." I shrugged my shoulders.

So, he and I left, heading for the Hyuuga household. This was gonna be so much fun…not…why can't we just go after her? I mean…it's not like we'll die or anything…

Sasuke's Pov

I am such a fucking idiot. She told me not to slow down…when am I ever gonna learn to listen?!

Anyways, we'd arrived a Neji and Kyoko's a couple minutes after actually remembering she was taken. The thing that jack hammered at my mind was something Naruto said, though I don't understand why he knew at all.

"You don't even know her!!! She told me she knew this was gonna happen sooner or later!!! She told me a lot that even you don't know!!!" I was surprised, caught totally off guard. I knew the two were friends and they both trained together…but I didn't think they talked this deep…and if they were that deep…what else did they do?

I shook my head, removing all thoughts of it from my mind. They're door was only a few feet ahead and we were the one's bringing bad news to Neji. We're about as good as dead.

As we neared the door, I stopped and turned to Naruto.

"Alright, listen dobe," He scowled at the name. "We're already in deep shit, to put it frankly. Don't be surprised if he overreacts-"

"I know!! She already told me that he would!! She just made me promise that her dog would be okay!!" Naruto whined.

"Fine." So, I turned to the door and knocked.

Waiting for him to answer, we heard the clatter of Kuroi's paws, meaning he'd gotten up and was waiting at the door…most likely because Kyoko would be coming home…but she wouldn't be. Tap, tap, tap. And suddenly, the door opened.

"Hey." Neji stood there, no different that any day, but quickly became suspicious. "Where's Kyoko?" He asked falteringly. Naruto and I shot a look to each other.

"Well…Neji…that's what we're here to talk about." I started off as he furrowed his eyebrows, confused.

"Hey…what's goin on?" Right beside him, Rao, one of Kyoko's best friends walked up, and surveyed the situation.

"Neji…could we come in?" Naruto asked.

"Sure." He said, moving aside to let us through.

So we went inside, sitting on the couch in the living room, as Rao and Neji also took a set and Kuroi came up to me. He jumped up on me, sniffing my collar. He could smell his owner, and began to whine.

He figured it out with just that. Smart dog…and suddenly, he left the room, heading into the kitchen, where we all heard the door open and close.

"He does that on his own. I don't know how he got this smart." Neji said as we all stared at the opening to the kitchen. "Anyways, what were you guys saying?" We turned back to him.

"Remember when we had that snowball fight thingy right out of town?" Naruto asked as they looked to each other and looked back at him and me, shaking their heads yes.

"Well, I don't know if you felt it, but soon after she learned to control snow-"

"She learned to control snow?!" Neji interrupted, a small smiled at his lips.

"That's not the point." I began before Naruto could. "An earthquake hit right after that-"

"A big one-"

"That she subdued-"

"And she was really tired, so-"

"SO, we were bringing her home-" STOP FRIKIN INTERRUPTING!!!

"Teme, Hinata-chan and myself-"

"AND, on the way back here," I looked at Naruto, waiting for him to interrupt, but no. Now you decide not to interrupt.

"What?" He asked, not content with what we'd already said.

I sighed before saying, "We were ambushed." Immediately, Rao gasped; Neji stared at us like he was staring something down.

"Wh-what did you say?" Rao asked, fear in her eyes. She already knew, just had to hear it again.

"We don't remember much, Neji. But…as you can see…Kyoko's not with us…" Naruto said slowly, hanging his head low.

And thus, the anger of Hyuuga Neji…was released.

"And you two didn't do a damn thing to stop them?!" He yelled, standing now, staring down the both of us.

"But Neji-" Naruto tried to calm him.

"What good are you two?! I expected more from the both of you!! But now, my sister the only family I have left is gone and most likely DEAD!!! And you two are to blame!!" We both winced under his wrath. Who knew Neji could yell like this?

"Neji…calm down…" Rao tried to soothe the 'savage beast', calmly speaking to him. "At least they tried to help. They were even courageous enough to come here to tell you, even though you're pissed at them. And I bet…that she's not dead. Why would they kill her now?" Thank you, Rao. Neji became calm, still upset, but calm.

"Did you two talk to the Hokage?" Neji asked, his fists shaking. He was at least trying to be calm.

"No…Hinata-chan's talking to her now." Naruto stated.

"Well…let's head there…I mean, it wouldn't hurt, would it?" Rao said, looking back and forth between Neji and us.

"No…I can't let you go with us…K-…she'd kill me." Poor guy…he can't even say her name…"Naruto…why don't you take Rao back to the spa?"

"Sure." Naruto agreed, not wanting to anger Neji and strangely, Rao agreed, giving Neji a strange look. Something obviously happened between the two, but I wasn't going to ask.

So Naruto vanished with Rao, while Neji and I headed off to the Hokage's.

Neji's Pov

I don't understand it!! How the hell could Akatsuki get away with taking K-…my sister?! I mean, she had three chunin with her!! Grrr…I just don't understand…

Sasuke and I arrived at the Hokage's just a few minutes later and as we went up the steps, we found Hinata-sama exiting the room almost in tears. When she heard us, she looked up.

"Oh, Nii-san!!" She ran a sleeve over her eyes as we came up to her.

"How'd it go?" Sasuke asked…I guess he was worried too. Well, duh…

"N-not good." She pushed her fingers together and looked down, tears almost forcing their way to the surface. "She won't let anyone go after K-…Ky-…her."

"WHAT?!?!?!" Both Sasuke and I yelled. B-but…if we can't go after her…

"Yeah…"

Now, I just don't care. I turned to the Hokage's door and went in, pushing two ANBU away. I think Sasuke followed; I'm not sure.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Tsunade-sama stood up, throwing her fists on her desk.

"What d'ya mean, 'What is the meaning of this?!' You obviously know that Akatsuki's gonna kill her!! Why the hell can't we go after her?!" I screamed.

"She's gonna die if we don't help her!!" Sasuke added.

"Oh…" She calmed down, sitting back down. After sighing, she looked up at both of us with weary eyes. "Please, sit down." We did, looking at her curiously. What was she planning? "I know she was captured. I, as she did, also felt the power that Akatsuki gives off. I also know that they won't kill her…yet."

"They won't?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No, they won't."

"Why?" Sasuke asked.

"Because, they need her power. She'll be safe as long as we don't do anything. And, Sasuke," She looked over at him. "I heard she told you something about demands. What do you remember?"

"Not much. I remember her saying we'd be safe…no matter what. I do remember her crying, though."

"Well…she must've known what she was doing. But," She started of harshly. "I don't want anyone to leave this village in search of her. If you do, I'll send ANBU after you, and you won't be back alive." We slouched back in the seats. This was ridiculious! Why the hell can't we go get her back?!

"But why? Wouldn't she be safer if we took her back?" Sasuke asked, trying to be calm.

"No. Think; if they have her and we make an attempt and fail…they'll kill her so we won't come after her anymore. Understand? I don't want either one of you, or anyone for that matter to leave Konoha, unless it's on a mission."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." We answered.

"Good. Dismissed." She replied, shooing us away.

So, we left the Hokage's office, disgruntled and angry.

Sasuke's Pov

I sighed, walking out of the Hokage's office. We couldn't do a damn thing. We just had to grit our teeth and bear it. I don't like it at all…

Hinata was still waiting for us when we exited, still quite teary-eyed too.

"What did she say?" She asked quietly.

"Nothing. Why don't we head home?" Neji said, wanting to avoid talking. I did too.

"See ya." I began to walk away, waving once with one hand. I needed to leave.

So, I walked around Konoha, thinking of what could've happened. She'd tried to tell me that Akatsuki were coming, that they were following, but no, I didn't listen.

Okay…I'm just gonna look at my feet…they're too many memories…And just as the gates came up to my view…I saw someone familiar, someone also in mourning.

Kuroi. The dog that was treated as Kyoko's son. He was focused on the horizon, almost waiting for her to come home. I approached him, hearing a noticeable crying coming from him, I stood behind him, also looking out to the horizon.

I felt a cold nose hit my elbow and then, the crying continued.

"I know…I'll miss her too. Now come on…there's no use to you just sitting here. And she'd kill me if she found out that you weren't taken care off." I put my hand on his head and rubbed behind his ears. With another couple of whines, he slowly put his feet beneath him and he followed me back to my house.

--XX--

It was strange how he acted so humanly. When we got inside, he went right for the couch she usually slept on, and laid on it, head on his paws. I went into the kitchen, and when I looked out the window all I saw was snow; Silent snow falling on a barren land, quiet and eerie. Just snow.

Other's Pov

"So…she is here, then?" A shaded man asked, sitting upon a throne-like chair, two more men at his side. Another man, kneeling in the middle of the floor, black hair tied back, eyes bound with the red Sharingan of his clan, kept his head bowed.

"Yes. I saw her here myself." He answered.

"And she came freely?" Questioned the shaded man asked.

The other halted in answer, and finally replied, "Yes…but on three simple conditions, Aka-sama."

"Which were?"

"To give care to the ones she was with, to leave the village of Konoha and its ninja alone and unharmed, and to meet myself."

'Interesting…very interesting…' "For now…we shall adhere to these "demands". I suggest you meet with the girl…be careful. We do not know what she is capable of…"

"Yes, Aka-sama." He stood up, bowed once more and left the room.

'Strange…why would you request that, Demon-God?'

Kyoko's Pov

This room…really needs a decorator…like bad. It has a bed, no colored sheets, a dresser of just black clothes, which is nice, and a small nightstand with a lamp. How boring is that?! How can someone live here?

After whoever brought me here pushed me in the room, I got up and went onto the bed, thinking of what exactly Neji and Sasuke looked like…they were probably bald by now…from pulling out their hair…I giggled.

And that's when my attention was caught like a fly to honey. There was a window…leading outside. Yay!! Something to do!!! So I got up and went over to it, seeing a blanket of white covering the ground.

I can say this, though; wherever this Akatsuki Lair is…it's not too concealed. It was in this field like thing…trees surrounding it. Maybe they have some chakra concealing stuff around…but, remembering the important fact that I was bored, I opened it and squirmed through it, setting my feet back on snow, letting the silent snowfall land wherever it wanted.

I just walked around for a little bit, seeing no trace that anyone lived here…but I could definitely tell that there were people there. I could smell them. But just as I shivered, because it was quite cold, the snow around me that was falling stopped. I blinked.

Snow doesn't just stop. Whoa…maybe it's because of that…I looked up to see this "covering" of sand. That's awesome…So, without really knowing what I was doing, I followed it back to its owner.

It came to be a guy, sitting next to a tree, looking to his right, staring into space. He was probably tall, maybe as tall as Sasuke; a redhead, light blue/green eyes with these…circles surrounding his eyes. It looked a lot like a panda…or a raccoon…but he didn't have eyebrows…and had this mark on his forehead…that was cool. The thing that caught my attention was the gourd on his back, I mean, it was huge!! And come to see it…that's where the sand was coming from…

He looked over at me as I walked up to him.

Pulling some hair behind my ear, I said, "Thanks."

He didn't reply, but simply went back to looking to his right…so, I sat next to him. He seemed kinda…distant…almost like he wanted to be…but that's not the way to go. You've got to have a friend somewhere.

"Ya know…I've been trying to learn how to control sand…but I guess that's not for me, I mean you're the one who has that power." I tried to get him to say something, but to no avail. "Well, at least lemme give your sand a rest." Since it hadn't slithered back in its gourd, I directed the snow away from us, creating almost a bubble thingy. That was when he finally looked over in my direction. "Ya know, your eyes are really cool."

"It's not my fault." He finally graced me with a couple words.

"So? It's not my fault I have a demon, but she's nice and I like wolves. See?" I let my ears and tail show, as he looked at them, amazed. I guess he really wasn't used to people. "That mark…tattoo thingy…doesn't it mean "love"?" I asked. He looked away solemnly.

"Yes. I got it when I was little."

"Oh…I want a tattoo too. One little black and silver butterfly…right here." I tapped my right shoulder, looking at the spot for a couple seconds, then looking back at him.

"Why?" He asked.

"Well…butterflies have such and easy life. They live and they die. And they're fun to chase!" My tail flicked, thinking of chasing butterflies…to bad there aren't any…

He didn't respond, but gave me this 'you're strange, stay away' look. "My name's Kyoko. And ya know…I know a girl who has eyes like yours."

"Hm."

"Her name's Temari, if that means anything to you." Again, he didn't say anything, but looked at me. "I guess you know her. She's nice."

"Yeah. She is." He said something again. Wait…what was that? I became alert, seeing something fly past my eyes. GASP!!!! Butterfly!!! Wait…how is there a butterfly in winter?! Oh, who cares? I get to chase something!!

So, I looked for it and when I did find it, I moved to it slowly, still on all fours. It fluttered to a small bush branch, where I tired to get it, pouncing on the bush. It flew away before I even landed and still stuck in the bush, I tried to paw at it. I'm so strange, aren't I?

I still followed it as it led back to the redhead, whose name I still didn't know and just as it landed on the snow, I pounced at it, hopefully getting it with my paw-like hands. Without moving my hands, I peaked at it.

NO!!! My ears fell and I whined, seeing no trace of it, and just a small amount of sand. I heard a chuckle from my right and looked over. He sat there, holding his finger out, letting yet another butterfly rest on his finger.

"You get amused to easily." He said, the butterfly flitting back to the gourd, as I whined and went back to my old seat. "Gaara."

"What?"

"Gaara. My name." He said, as I went back to following, with my eyes, the other butterfly that still flew around.

"That's good to know. Maybe we'll meet outside of this place." I said, eyes still locked on the butterfly.

"Maybe."

Randomly, I asked, "Can I call you panda-chan? You remind me of a panda." Again, he gave me a look like, 'stay.away. Far away.'

"No."

"Please?" I whined.

No answer. Then, just as I opened my mouth to speak, an Akatsuki person appeared infront of us. I jumped and screamed. Gaara didn't react at all.

"You are lucky you didn't stray too far. Get up." He reached for my arm and pulled me up. Ow…I hate it when people grip too hard.

"I'm up, I'm up." I said as he pulled me back to the house thingy. Before I got too far, though, I turned and yelled, "BYE, PANDA-CHAN!!!"

And, thus, I was sent back to that horrible room, where I was made to stay on the bed. They even gave me food, which I was hesitant on eating. I mean, I know it's not poisoned, I just don't know if it tastes good. Picky, aren't I?

GRRRROOOOWWWLLLL……Oh that's right…my stomach wants to eat…So, carefully, I picked up the fork and the knife and pulled a part of the steak away. I stabbed it with my fork and ate it. Wow…it wasn't that bad…but…I miss Nii-san's cooking… Then, my ears perked. Someone was coming…stepping closer and closer, and finally the door opened.

My eyes widened, seeing Itachi. He hadn't changed, I mean at all. He's a little taller, his eyes are redder, yeah, but he hadn't changed much. And I guess sitting on his bed wasn't the best place to be, because when he finally realized I was there, he stopped dead and glared at me.

"Tai-Tai-chan!!!!" I yelled, dropping the fork from my hand. He stared at me. I guess he didn't remember…Thankfully I had something that he might remember. So I got up, saying, "Look!" I reached inside my jacket and before I could blink, I couldn't breathe, feeling my back hit something hard.

"Who are you?" He hissed at me. I tried to open my eyes, only successfully opening one, seeing that his arm was pushed up against my neck, and his red Sharingan eyes stared right at mine. I moved my toes a little bit, realizing they weren't even touching the ground. And slowly, the picture I took from Sasuke's album floated to the ground.

"K-Kyoko! Y-you don't re-member me?" I asked back, staring into his cold, heartless eyes. That was when he noticed the picture of mine, seeing it between his feet. He stared at it for a couple seconds and then his eyes went wide and he dropped me. As I hit the floor, which wasn't fun, he picked it up.

"How…how did you get this?" He looked down at me. Rubbing my neck before I answered, I slowly stood up.

"It's mine." I lied. "I guess you don't remember me, do you?" Fingering the photo, he replied,

"Yes. I do. Sit." He made me sit on the bed and made me eat before continuing the conversation.

--XX--

It was kinda weird…having someone stare at me while I was eating. I guess he hadn't seen me in a while…and I do look different from when I was five…and I'll hafta explain the whole 'why I left' thing again…yay…

"Why did you leave?" Well…I guess we're just Mr. Get-right-to-the-point, aren't we?

"Okay, look, it wasn't my fault." I started, pushing the not near empty tray from my lap. "It was my mom and dad's choice. They just didn't want me to get hurt, since I can't use the Byakugan." He stared. I guess he didn't know that.

"Can you use the Demon's chakra?" Weird question…

"Well," I rubbed my neck sheepishly. "Yeah, I can use Okami-chan's chakra…just not too well."

"Really?" He asked slyly. Why did this seem to be just about me? And what I can do? "Can I trust you?" He asked, eyes showing something different.

"Of course, Tai-Tai-chan!!" I chirped.

"How's…Sasuke?" I just about fell off the bed. I thought Itachi killed the family and hated Sasuke...weird.

But, I blushed, remembering something very funny about "my brother" talking about Sasuke with me. Do you remember? It had something to do with me and him sleeping together…boy, Neji was not happy with that…

"Umm…He's…okay, I guess…traumatized…but okay…."

"Why are you blushing?" He asked, coming over and looking me in the face.

"No reason." I smiled. I couldn't help it…thinking about Sasuke made me laugh. Especially when "his" kitchen blew up.

"You like him." I stopped and stared, wide-eyed at Itachi.

"As a friend."

"No, you don't." He smirked. And just as opened my mouth to retort, the door opened. A tall, even taller than Itachi who was really tall compared to me, blue skinned…almost shark like guy was standing there, looking at Itachi. He regained his mysteriousness and went over to the shark guy and spoke little to nothing. Itachi turned back to me, solemnity in his eyes. The shark guy left, shutting the door behind him. I watched intensely as he went over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of black clothes and threw them at me. "Get changed." I tilted my head at him. I was confused. Utterly confused. "I'll be back." He left the room, and I didn't know when he'd be back, so I got changed.

I didn't mind the clothes, even thought they were slim fitting and kept my old ones, and sat back on the bed. I sighed, thinking of the people I knew and the people I met. Were they really gonna kill me off this soon? Something was off…they'd at least want to get me more powerful…wouldn't they?

'Okami-chan…something doesn't feel right.'

'I know. That boy, though…he seems to really trust you…even though…he's very mysterious…'

'Tai-Tai-Chan? No, he's a little different…but I trust him. Okami-chan…do you think we're gonna die?'

She was silent. 'I don't know. But I can tell you don't want to die-'

'I don't have a choice, do I? I would like to see them, though. Just one last time.'

'Me too.'

Then, the door creaked open and Itachi walked in again.

"Get up. We must leave." He pulled me up by my arm and shoved me out the door. He continued to push me along until we reached the outside. The shark guy was waiting for us, but I didn't move another step.

"What's going on?" Itachi wheeled around and stared me right in the face.

"You're going to die. They want the Demon-god and you're the only way to get to it." He wheeled around again and pulled me along, but I pulled my hand back.

"Then where are we going?!" I wouldn't be able to go farther away…there was a minute chance that I'd see Neji and Sasuke again, but going farther away……means I'd never see them again. And that…I couldn't stand.

He sighed and turned to me again. Without the Sharingan, he looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Away. I lost you once. I'm not losing you again." He wheeled around one last time and we were off, after I transformed, of course.


Okay, first off, i am soooo sorry that i didn't upload sooner!! I've been really, really busy with school and stuff. And i'm sorry Itachi-fan's if he's a little out of character. I tried to keep him in chara. but it was really hard. I hope this will last ya'll until next chapter. And i randomly felt like putting Gaara in there, so he's there. I guess it's just a little laugh for a supposed to be serious chapter. Hope ya like it!!!
