Well, some of the episodes of dub were out today so we watched them, and they were very good. I'm really excited for the other episode. I know the sub is all out, but I can't watch sub so I'm waiting for the dub, and it's a lot of of the episodes were a bit odd, but still. Also back at school now, but that's not important.
Chapter 44
Kurama
I stare at the human in front of me. How interesting that he would choose to come here and not directly demand something from me. I suppose he wants to trick me. That being said I should be able to sense it if he was.
"Well? Aren't you going to answer me? I mean come on. I know it must suck being sealed in there, but we're both going to have to live with it so we might as well get along."
"What if I don't want to get along with you? You're just like every other human?"
I'm not like them. Pervy Sage said many people use the Bijuu as weapons, but I don't think that's a good idea. I mean I think that's kind of stupid."
"One day you'll meet a person with blue eyes, this person will unite you and show you the proper path, though you will not be the same as you are now, you will band together."
"I don't want to get along with a human."
"Well okay," he says sitting down cross-legged. After a while, he speaks up again. "This place kind of sucks, huh?"
"I have no control over how this place looks, only you have control over that," I say. I suppose I can humour this human child.
"So how would I change it?"
"Change it?"
"Yeah, I want to make this place at least a bit better. I mean I know I can't unseal you and all that, but it doesn't have to be so bad."
"If it makes you happy, you can probably change it by visualizing what you want it to look like and focusing on that image. I haven't really practiced the technique, but that would make sense."
"Alright!" He says closing his eyes. I could send my chakra out to force my way through him. I could try and take control of him. He's letting his guard down in front of me, and yet I hesitate.
I've watched this child since he was a baby. Watched as people have made fun of him and pushed him away. Hated him for something that he had no control over and feared him because of my power. Despite my attempts to push him towards revenge against those fools, he's chosen to protect them.
Then he made friends and changed people. He is making them like him and follow him and he doesn't even see it. It's rather fascinating. I wonder… maybe I will watch him and humour him.
I look around as the place changes. The water disappears and is replaced by grass and stone. Though most of the trees are on the other side there are some inside the cage. There is also a large hole that I assume leads to a form of a cave. The ceiling turns into the sky that's covered in stars and the moon.
"How did I do?" He asks opening his eyes and looking around. "See, doesn't this seem so much better. I was trying to think of a place a fox would like, but I haven't really studied fox habitats."
"You certainly are unusual."
"Does that mean you'll tell me your name?"
"My name…"
The Sage of Six Paths gave us all names, but most of us aren't known by them. Most of us have accepted that our names aren't known or used by the modern humans. Son Goku is the only one who gets really mad about his name not being used. He is stuffy like that. Stupid four-tails.
"Yeah, I mean if you don't have one that's all good and all, but I thought you'd have a name and all…"
"If you must know, my name is Kurama," I scoff.
"Kurama, huh? That's an interesting name. So like, who named you?"
"I'm not about to tell you that right now," I scoff. "Don't expect me to tell you everything just because you're different. I still don't care about you more than just the fact that if you die then I will as well."
"I don't know about that," he says.
"Believe what you want. It won't change anything," I say turning around so I'm not facing him.
"I'm sorry you got sealed away."
"I'm not surprised. You shouldn't be sorry about foolish things. You have more important things to worry about."
"I suppose so, but can't we be friends and partners I mean I know you don't like humans, but I'm not like others and I just want to understand you, and the others."
"The others? You think I want to be around them. They're all annoying and weak."
"But aren't you guys like brothers or something?"
"Does it matter if we were born from the same being? That doesn't mean we get along. In fact, it just makes it even more annoying."
"I guess… I just thought… I mean family should stick together, right…?"
"Your human ideals don't apply to us. We are very different than you humans. Don't compare me to your standards."
"You know you're not very sociable."
"I don't like humans, we've established this whole thing. You're pretty dense aren't you?"
"Hey! Shut up! Besides I told you that I want to be friends with you though. I'm going to keep coming here and saying hi to you so that you know I want to be friends," he says.
"Whatever you want to do, foolish human."
"I don't care."
I roll my eyes.
"Anyway, I have to go now."
"Go ahead. I don't care," I reply.
"See you later, Kurama," he says before disappearing.
I turn around looking at the spot he previously occupied. I look round the area he had made. He did do a good job, but I have a feeling he'll forget to keep this up eventually. He thinks he's special.
I haven't felt anything negative from him, I must admit, but at the same time he is still a human, and all humans want something from us Bijuu at some point. I know he'll be begging for my power eventually.
Well if he wants it then he's going to have to work hard for it because I'm not about to give it to him easily. I'm not about to give in to a simple human. After all, it's not like this hasn't happened before. I've been betrayed before and I've been used before. It's not usual.
Uchiha, Uzumaki, Senju, what's the difference between them? They've all had the power and all used it. For whatever reason. For the stupid Uchiha, it was to use my power. For the annoying Uzumaki, it was that I was too powerful for them. Even that stupid Senju used me. Stupid clans. Think they're so good, but really they're not that great.
Even that stupid fool, splitting me u and sealing me into a baby. The nerve of him thinking that a baby would be able to constrain me. He is skilled at seals, I will admit, but even so. No cage is unbreakable, even a seal. The kid will die if I'm extracted, but what do I care?
And yet I wonder if I do care. Am I getting soft all over a sudden just like those stupid humans he's around?
No, I'm not about to go soft for some foolish kid who thinks he's so smart and can use my power.
Was that what that fool intended for him? For him to control me. For us to work together? Why would I ever want to work with a human? That might work for Nibi and Hachibi, but I'm not about to give in so easily. Yes, if he wants to control my power it's going to be very hard for him. Oh yes, I'm certainly going to have fun.
And of course, stupid Ichibi would be around. Yes, I know he's around I can feel him and I hate him so much. He's such an idiot and way too loud. He thinks he's so great, but he's the weakest one of all of us and he doesn't see it at all. Such weakness. I want to just rip him up.
If Naruto wants me to help him defeat that arrogant idiot I'll certainly lend my power for free that one time. After all, I suppose it won't hurt. I like this brat better than Ichibi.
Actually, I like him better than anyone else that I've actually had to deal with. Funny I never thought I'd like anyone. I suppose I just want to see what will come of this brat.
I look through his eyes as he heads home and talks to his 'family'. He's certainly changed some people and maybe he would actually do something with me. Maybe teaming up with him isn't going to be so bad.
But still, I'm not going to make it easy for him.
