Ten Tails of the Gods
Summary: She was normal. She had her perfections, her faults. She had a normal life, but something went horribly wrong...and now...a burden that could kill her is put upon her. With her friends with her, can she overcome this? Or will it kill her? She has only her friends, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura and others, plus her half-brother, Neji, to help her…but will it be enough to save her?
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"Well, I didn't want to be here anyway…but with this information…I think I might just hang out and see what's gonna happen." I smirked.
"Same here." She stood up, nonchalantly walked over to the bowl and poured the whole bottle in. She winked over at me and came back, sitting contently on the couch. "Let's just wait and watch…"

Kyoko's Pov
After the girls got situated, the doorbell rang yet again so I got up from talking to Ammy and Rao, also getting out of Sasuke's grasp, and answered the door.
"Ku-!"
I screamed, seeing a big black blur, feeling something heavy set on my shoulders and something licking my face. Guess who that could be?
"Kuroi!! Down boy!!" My brother yelled from behind him. Kuroi turned his head toward him and barked, turned back, licked me again and got back down, prancing and sitting behind me, whining and pushing his nose into the back of my hand and then continuing to lick my hand.
And now it was my turn to glomp someone, seeing my brother (amazingly enough, wearing a Santa hat) in the doorway, looking at me like he was scared or something.
"Yay!! You came!!" I yelled, throwing my arms around him.
He pulled away, replying, "Duh. I wouldn't not come to my sister's party. I even brought some stragglers." I released him, which he pointed behind him, when two seconds later, I was glomped by another person, being lifted in the air from my waist and into a suffocating grasp.
"KYOKO-CHAN!!!" I was whirled around in a couple circles before someone finally brought my air ride to a stop…thank god…
"Dobe, put her down; you're gonna make her sick!!" And I was put back on the ground, taking a few stumbling steps backwards before Sasuke held onto me to keep me steady. I looked up, waiting for a few seconds till everything stopped spinning and saw who it was who glomped me. Well…that's not surprising…
"Good to see you, Naruto. Merry Christmas!!" He nodded, grinning his trademark grin as my cousin stepped beside him, who slipped his arm around her shoulders.
"Merry Christmas, Kyoko!!" She chirped, moving the ball of the Santa hat on her head behind her.
"Merry Christmas, Hinata-sama!!" I chirped back, wrapping my arms around Sasuke's neck.
Well, we moved aside letting them walk in, bringing a crate of presents with them, while out of the corner of my eyes I saw Neji over with Rao, Naruto and Hinata walking over to the couch to talk to Ammy, while…wait, where are they? Hm…oh, there they are!! Brianna and Itachi were on the top of the stairs, holding a huge bottle of punch and laughing. I guess those two became good friends…
So, we moved along, going over to the space left on the couch and while they talked, I waited for the next guest or guests to knock on the door…I smiled though. This was going to be so much fun!!
So in the next half an hour, Tenten showed up by herself, hearing about the party from Neji and Lee…who's not here quite ye-
DING DONG!!!
"I'll get that." I interrupted Tenten and slipped from Sasuke's grasp, yet again, and went over to the door. Opening the door, I wasn't too shocked.
"Hi!" Sakura smiled, holding a few boxes in her hands.
"Hi, hun! Come on in!!" I moved aside, opening the door even further. And so, she walked in, bringing someone along with her. I didn't recognize him, because obviously it was a guy, but… I didn't know whom…It doesn't matter though, cause if he's with Sakura, he's fine with me!!
So, I walked back over to Tenten and Sasuke, whom Sakura and that guy had found. Hey…wait…he looks like…LEE!!! OMG, it IS him!!! Wow…he looks…normal… He was wearing a medium sized white t-shirt, sort of baggy jeans, like any guy would wear…his hair had grown out more, taking a shag effect to it. He didn't look half bad, to speak the truth.
"Hi, guys." He plainly said as I stepped beside Sasuke, grapping my drink from him, too.
"Yeah, how's it goin?" Sakura asked, the question mainly directed toward Sasuke and myself.
"Not too bad, how bout you, Sakura?" I replied, taking a sip.
She smiled, "Ah, pretty good. Lee's been helping me out at my new apartment." She threw her arm around his shoulders.
"WHAT?!?!" Tenten spit out her drink, screaming and looking at her teammate in total and utter surprise. Wide-eyed, Sasuke and Tenten looked at him
"What's wrong with you guys?" He asked, looking back and forth between the two of them.
"Ack!!" Tenten choked, eyes going even wider. "Y-you…ju-just…said a contraction!!! You never use contractions!!!" She cried.
He shrugged his shoulders, closing his eyes for a second. "Yeah, I just started using them recently. Living with Sakura-chan has been much fun!!"
My eyebrow rose and I shot a look to Sakura. "Sakura…" I started of deviously. "You said he was helping you out…not living with you…" I peaked a smile at her.
She looked away, tinged pink, smiled and replied, "Well…Yeah, he's been helping me and living with me." She replied.
"Oh…"
"But…but…what…what about…training?" Tenten asked, still in shock.
"Well…some other things have appeared and training is not my main focus, but it is very close to it." He replied.
She looked at me, concerned, but I nodded it off. "Okay…" She replied dazed.
Brianna's Pov
"You're right…" I couldn't help it. I had to agree with him.
"I know I'm right. I'm always right." He paused, taking a huge swig of the punch we took. Then, he looked out onto the floor like he had a revelation or something. "I…am God."
I spit out my drink, clutching my stomach, laughing so hard. He rose up the bottle.
"Here me world, I am God, and you shall obey!!"
I still laughed. "Itachi!! You're not god!!" I said through laughing, pulling down his bottle.
"Yes I am." He answered sharply.
"No you are not…or else you know what's gonna happen at the end of this party."
"Everyone's gonna get drunk and we are gonna see so many "couples" I'll gouge my eyes out." He replied flatly.
I rolled my eyes, "Well, of course they're gonna get drunk…we spiked the punch, remember?" I looked over at him.
He smirked, taking another swig, "Yes." He chugged the rest of the bottle. Oh, my god…he's gonna be wasted!!!
Kyoko's Pov
So, not everyone's here…yet…but I need to talk to someone in particular…I swung by the punch table thingy we had set up, grabbing a cup and heading over to the couch, where almost everyone was talking and went up to them.
"Hey, Kyoko, who else is supposed to be here?" Hinata asked from the couch as I walked up.
I took a second to think. "Um…Well…I invited Temari…and Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji…and whoever else you guys talked to." I replied, sitting down next to her. "Do you think I could borrow Naruto for a few minutes? I need to tell him something." I whispered, so no one else could hear.
She nodded. "Sure."
"Thanks, hun." She jabbed him lightly on the side and motioned toward me.
"What?" He whined, taking a look at both of us. "Oh…Okay." He must've got the message from her stern look, but he got up, taking his drink with him and walked with me through the kitchen, dining room and out onto the porch.
--XX--
Naruto's Pov
Wow…I guess I should remember that, huh? Just…wow…
Well, I walked back into the living room from the dining room and found that…everyone was in the same seats we left them in about…half an hour ago. So, I refilled my cup at the punch table and went back to Hinata and everyone else.
"So... he was turned into a box of chocolates!!" Tenten yelled, making everyone burst up with laughter.
"So where's Kyoko?"
"Yeah, where's my sister?" I turned my head, seeing both Sasuke and Neji, two who I'd rather not mess with, glare at me.
"Oh, Neji, she's fine. Leave her alone!" Rao smacked Neji lightly on the shoulder, sitting right next to him.
"Oh, yeah!! Teme, come here!!" I said, getting up and making him follow me over to the kitchen door way. Neji…followed and then, Rao followed him and dragged him back to the couch.
"Neji, leave the poor girl alone. I'm not surprised she's damaged because of you!"
"B…but!!-"
"No. Leave her alone." She sat him down on the couch and sat next to him, holding on to him to make him stay.
"Alright, Dobe…what's going on?"
Oh…yeah… "I think you should go talk to her. She seems…flustered."
He seemed a little surprised, but spoke in a calm manner. "Where is she?"
"In the dining room."
"If anyone comes, can you answer it?"
"Sure." I nodded.
"Thanks." He said sharply, headin off toward the kitchen –
WHOA… Dude, some guy in this…black cloak/ jacket thingy just fell down the stairs… HAHA. Sasuke, who was right near him, stopped and looked at him, as others in the room (and myself) laughed out loud. He shook his head and continued to walk into the kitchen, as I went back to sitting beside Hinata, wrapping an arm around her, watching that guy go to the punch bowl, fill up a bottle and stumbled back up the stairs.
"I'll be back." Neji got up, heading off into the kitchen.
Rao watched him, sighing. "And I'll be back with him." She rolled her eyes, getting up and following him into the kitchen.
Neji's Pov
I knew Rao was following me, but I didn't care. She's my sister and I'm gonna be overprotective if I want. So, I activated my Byakugan, stood close to the wall, and listened into the conversation, while watching them.
"Neji-koi, stop bothering her. She's not a stupid girl; she knows what she's doing."
"Shhh." I hushed her, waving a hand at her and looked through the wall.
"Kyoko, what's going on?" I ignored Rao, who kept pestering me, and listened on, seeing Sasuke stand infront of Kyoko. She made no eye contact, but looked at the floor. He watched her intently.
"N-nothing. I just…um…had to tell Naruto something." She replied, her voice shaky.
"You're sure you're okay?" He asked, trying to get her to look up at him.
After a couple seconds of silence she looked up and asked, "Can I have a hug?"
Sasuke scoffed. "You don't need to ask." He hugged her, in which she cried a little bit, but he pulled her back. "Better?"
"Un-huh." He wiped away a tear on her cheek.
"Good. I don't like to see you upset, okay?" He told her sweetly.
"I know…it's…just tough, that's all." She replied, setting her head on his shoulder.
"Neji…Neji!!" Rao whispered, bringing me away from watching them. "Come on, leave her alone!!" She hooked her arm in mine and began pulling me away.
"Rao!" I whispered back as she pulled me into the living room and back onto the couch, in which the doorbell rang and Kyoko, who Sasuke followed her, answered the door, meeting Naruto at the door. After a second of quiet conversation between the three, Naruto came back to the couch.
Sasuke's Pov
I wonder what exactly she told him…hm…Well, anyways, I stood behind Kyoko, letting her answer the door.
She squealed as she opened it. "TEMARI!!!" She screamed, hugging the sand-nin, who hugged back.
"HEY!!!" She yelled back, taking a couple steps inside and just as Kyoko began to close the door, we both heard,
"Hey!! Don't forget about me!!"
Kyoko reopened the door, seeing…wait…I know it…I know him…God, what was his name?!
"Kyoko, this is my younger brother, Kankuro."
THAT'S IT!!!
"Hi, I'm Kyoko and I think you know Sasuke." Kyoko said, taking some boxes from him.
"Cool house." He said, looking around, amazed by just about everything.
"Just have a seat…" Kyoko took a second to look back at the partygoers. "Not everyone's here yet…" She turned back to them. "But, they should be here soon, so…"
Temari smiled. "Don't worry about it."
"And yes, Temari…Shikamaru's gonna be here." Kyoko said with a bounce, grinning widely.
Kankuro looked over at Temari, raising an eyebrow. "Temari…" He started off warily, "What's all this – "
"Don't ask." She cut him off sharply, dragging him to the couch. Kyoko laughed, seeing Temari flush slightly, hauling her brother away.
"Here, I'll take these, you go and sit down." I said, taking the boxes from her hands, seeing her reach back for them.
"Bu-"
"No, go sit down. You put this together; you deserve to enjoy it, not be everyone's server." I said, keeping the boxes from her.
She sighed in defeat, shutting her eyes momentarily. "Alright. And thank you."
"Your welcome."
So I headed toward the tree as she headed toward everyone else, meeting up with Ammy, Temari, Rao…just about everyone. And after setting down the presents, I went over, scaring her as I sat behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist. I wonder when everyone else will get here…
Rao's Pov
So, we're sitting here, talking, making jokes, waiting for everyone else to show up so we can open gifts…and Temari (I think that's her name) and some guy, with THE most awesome hat…thingy I had ever seen, showed up. I watched him, well…his hat as he was dragged by me.
"Rao?"
I saw him sit on the couch next to Temari.
"Rao!"
"OW!!" I yelled, rubbing my arm from the hard pinch Neji gave me. "What d'ya do that for?!"
He gave me an apologetic look, as others who turned toward us, turned away and listening to other's conversations. "Sorry…I just noticed that you were really focused on Kankuro's mask."
"I know!! It's awesome!!" I replied, looking at it yet again.
"Hey, hey!! It's just a mask!!" He remarked.
"B…but…" I murmured.
"Hey…um…" We both stopped bickering and looked up seeing that Kankuro guy holding a cup in his hand. "My sister told me I had to introduce myself…"
"Yeah, I know who you are, Kankuro." Neji stated, giving a nod.
Kankuro gave a nod back.
"I'm Rao…but…do you have any extra of those masks?" I asked, growing with excitement.
His eyes went a little wide, staring at me like I was insane or something, but replied, "Um…yeah…I keep extra in case this one gets ruined…why?" He asked hesitantly.
"She likes the mask, that's why." Neji pointed out, making Kankuro sigh and then smile.
"Yeah…most chicks dig the mask."
"Well…can I have one?" I asked, my foot tapping lightly on the floor.
He took a second to think, looking upward. "I guess."
"YAY!!!" I jumped up out of my seat and hugged him, when seconds later I felt myself being pulled back to the couch.
"I thought you were mine." Neji whispered in my ear, making me sit closer to him.
"I am…but…the mask!" I replied.
"Yeah, don't worry. I'll get that to you whenever. See ya." Kankuro left, heading off toward his sister, who was busy talking with Ammy.
"Now, see what you did? I'm not gonna get my mask for a while."
"Oh, calm down…I'll make sure you get it…" And he kissed me on the cheek. "Okay?"
"Yep." I kissed him back.
Sasuke's Pov
After calming Kyoko down, which is never a big deal, we began to go to the other couch, since the other was full –
DING DONG!!!
"I'll get it!!" Kyoko shot up off the couch heading to the door, since we were on a touchy subject, being questioned by everyone about living together and left to get the door.
"Me too." I said hurriedly before anyone else could question us. God, I hate questions.
So, we met up at the door, in which Kyoko answered, finding four people at the door. Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji…and I believe that's Sai…the guy who took over my spot in team 7 for now…but man…he dresses weird… and just as they entered, I heard Kyoko emit a low, roughly inaudible, eyes following him, mostly. I guess since she didn't know him…and I've heard that wolves are territorial…
"Hey, what's…up?" Shikamaru struggled to finish his question, eyes locking in on a certain blonde kunoichi and heading over to her. Chouji followed him, taking a side trip to the punch bowl and getting two drinks, one for him and one for Shikamaru.
"Hey." Kyoko responded without thinking, as she looked at Ino and Sai.
"You guys know who I am," Ino stated, putting her hand on her chest, "But this is Sai." She introduced, putting her hand out at him.
"Hi, hag."
Kyoko blinked. "What?" She asked, growling a little more.
This time, he said it slower, "Hi…hag…"
"I'm not retarded, thank you. And…hi." She said, eyes narrowed.
"Okay, okay, calm down." I tried to break them up, but…it didn't work.
"And who are you exactly? I know everyone else is a type of ninja…but what about you?" Kyoko asked, shutting the door and taking a step toward the two.
He turned toward her, smiling insincerely, "Me? I'm…Sasuke's replacement." He continued to smile, and she began to growl loudly.
Light traces of her ears and tail appeared…okay…I set my hands on her shoulders, trying to get her to calm down. "What?" She growled. "There is no on-" I covered her mouth with my hands.
"Don't worry about her…why don't you guys go sit down? We'll open presents in a few minutes." I said, as they both nodded, looking at her like she was insane.
"Sure…" Ino pulled Sai along, going over to the crowd of people.
Th-OW!!! I pulled my hand away, shaking it and…she bit me!!! AGAIN!!!
"What was that for?" She asked harshly, turning to face me.
After looking at my hand, finding teeth marks, but no blood, I looked at her. "You were going demon over the replacement thingy."
She began to growl again.
"What's with you?!" I said hushed, so no one would hear.
She looked me dead in the eye. "Replacement? I don't think so. No one can replace you."
"And no one is. He's just in for team 7. I can't leave them hanging."
She blinked again. "Oh…so that's it…" She murmured.
"What? You thought…he was going to replace me in everything?"
"Uh-huh." She nodded.
"Well…he's not, okay?"
She smiled. "Yep." She smiled even more. "Can we go open presents now?" She wrapped her arms around mine.
I sighed. "Yes…we can."
"YAY!!!" And so, she bounded off, dragging me along.
Kankuro's Pov
Wow…that was……well…interesting…
"How's it going?" Temari asked me, taking a break from her conversation with the other girl (whose name I still don't know).
"…Okay…I guess."
"Well, this is Ammy, Kyoko's friend." She introduced.
"Hi." Ammy said, smiling and waving, taking a sip of her punch. Hey wait…that's that guy…
"You're Shikamaru, right?" I asked, looking warily at the guy who held my sister in his arms.
"Yeah." He answered lazily.
"Oh, Kankuro, stop. I'm older!! I should be overprotective of you!!" Temari scolded, shaking a cup at me.
"You're my sister, that's all that matters!!"
"Calm down…it's Christmas…we're not here to fight, you two." Ammy stood up, putting her hands in between us. I still looked at Temari, who looked back with a cold glare.
"Alright…" She sighed, sipping. "But no-"
"Whatever." I said, cutting her off.
"PRESENT TIME!!!" I heard one of the girls yell and seconds later, everyone gathered around the couches, taking a seat somewhere and we all began to exchange presents. I wonder what I'm gonna get…
Okay, I know this chapter is like superbly late and i'm sorry for that. But, i've got some exciting news for everyone. All of the readers.
You see, in this story, after another couple chapters or so, Valentine's day will be coming up, so i thought, why not get you all involved? It's much like a contest. You guys can write a little scene for any of the coulpes (Yes, ALL of them), but only one per couple, so for example, I could write a scene for LeeXSaku and one for NaruXHina. But i can't write 2 for one couple. You can send it to me in a private massage (if you don't want it to be seen/ if it's personal) or in a review. You can put as much detail as you want, and the person who wins the couple's scenario will have thier part written in the story, plus thier names will be featured in the begining or right here where you're reading right now. So, really, it's a guidline for what i'm going to write, though it's the other persons idea. The format should look something like this...
Pairing : LeeXSaku
Scenario : In this part, I'd like (doesn't mean it must be) as much detail as you can put. I don't want something that's too vague, but i will not descriminate by who writes it. The best will be chosen by what fits what the character would do. Such as, if someone sent one that said Lee threw a rave and propsed, I don't think i'd use that one because that's not his way of doing stuff.
Name/ Screenname : I go by a lot of names, but i'd use what i have on this site, Zero.
It's all very simple, or i hope it seems to be. If there is any confusing or questions i didn't cover, feel free to message me and ask. I'll try to answer as soon as i can. AND the last thing. IF i don't get enough feedback, i'll disban the idea completely. I just thought it would be nice to include you guys in the story, so i hope those who read and dont say much participate. I'll say how it's going in the next chapter or put up a message on my profile. Check back around once in a while. As i always say, hope you had fun reading!!
