Previously

"YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD! Your siblings are the host of the kyubi's chakra so they need training! All you've ever done is lie and lie and we are sick of it! Dont come out of your room until we allow you!" Kushina screamed at Ria and that moment Ria learned something from that conversation. This wasnt her family. This wasnt her home. This wasnt living.

Chapter 2

After hearing those words Ria's heart froze. 'When had she ever been ungrateful?' 'All she had ever asked for was unconditional love for once in her life.' Were the thoughts going through the young girls mind as she walked into her bedroom.

"When would you leave Kurama?" Ria asked her furry friend as she starred out the window to see her family walking back outside to try their new summoning contracts.

"Do you have anything you need immediately?" Kurama asked and Ria shook her head negatively. "Let me take over your body. Im going to take some things from your fathers study and then we'll leave, okay?" The fox asked and Ria smiled happily but almost as soon her face morphed into one of confusion.

"How can you 'take over' my body?" She asked and she could feel the fox smirk. "Just relax. Its going to burn a little in your chakra pathways but you'll be fine." Kurama said and slowly the trust Ria had in Kurama, even if only knowing him for little over a day, overflowed her mind and slowly she felt herself lose control and drift into the comfort of her mind.

"Its nice to finally meet you." The deep voice of Kurama sounded outside Ria's ears as she opened her eyes and found herself in a sewer. Infront of her were many large red pillsrs with a tag labeled 'seal'.

"You too." Ria spoke politely as she walked closer to Kurama. "What do i need to do now?" She asked snd Kurama looked at her and smiled. "Pull off about a knuckle's worth of the seal and ill take over." He said as he stuck one of his tails outside of the seal and hooked it around the small redheads waist to lift her up to the seal.

"Only a knuckle right?" She asked and the fox confirmed it with a nod as she reached out and slowly removed alot more than a knuckle. She removed a piece the size of her hand shocking the fox. Either his host was stupid or she trusted him too much and from the knowledge he had of her from the last seven years, she definitely wasnt stupid other than not fightning back.

"Now just watch." Kurama said as he lowered Ria to the ground and a large Window like screen appeared infront of her. "This is how I've watched you for years." He said as she smiled and took a seat in the water while watching the world through her own eyes.

Outside world

'Its been too long since ive walked on my own.' Kurama thought as he walked into Ria's bathroom and grabbed her bag with her necessities and looked in the mirror. He had never really 'seen' Ria before. Sure he has looked at his host through her memories but had never stayed awake long enough to see her look at herself, but seeing her through his own eyes was something else.

Ria had smooth but unkempt mid back crimson hair that snaked down her back and two long bangs that went to where her breast would eventually be. Her eyes were like the blue's of cobalt's and she had three black whisker marks on each cheek.

'Well she'll be in every boys eyes when she's older.' The fox thought to himself before shaking his head and getting back on track as he walked into Minato's study and stopped at the entrance before looking for what he needed.

First Kurama grabbed a small sealing scroll and then started grabbing scrolls of the shelves. He knew most of these were probably copies but that didnt matter as he started stashing a few of each element before he found what he was truly after. "The safe of Minato Namikaze." Kurama said aloudas he channeled an untraceable amount of chakra into Ria's hand and opened the safe making him cock his head in suprise.

'You would think that being a seal master he would put seals where his most precious items were.' Kurama thought as he shook his head and started opening the scolls until he found the ones he wanted.

The first was labled 'Flying Thunder God' and the pther was the prized 'Rasengan' that he held so dear. "Ill make sure Ria puts these to work." Kurama said as he sealed the scrolls and ran into the master bedroom and looked under the bed where he remembered Kushina keeping the emergency money and soon found the scrolls, each keeping a few thousand Ryu. (10 ryu = 1 USD)

After he finished 'borrowing' the money from Kushina he ran into Narumi's roomand started looking through her dresser and closet. Soon Kurama grabbed some underwear and casual wear for Ria and sealed those before running back into the bathroom so Ria could change herself.

Inside mindscape

"Okay im done. Get changed then ill tell you how we are going to get out of here." Kurama said as Ria nodded and started to take back over. "Thank you." She whispered as she left the mindscape with a genuine smile on her features. 'Anytime kit, anytime.'

Outside World

When Ria finally had control iver herself again she removed her clothes before stopping for a moment. "Do i have time to shower?" She asked and waiting for Kurama to answer her.

"Yes but make it quick. In and out. We dont want to miss our window." He said as Ria instantly turned on the water and lathered herself in soap before rinsing off and drying. On the counter was a pair of red underwear, a loose fitting sky blue long sleeve, black pants with a pair of black sandels, and a black kunai pouch. "Thank you again." She said. "You're welcome kit." Kurama said as Ria tossed the clothes and grabbed the scroll and tossed in the pouch and ran out her room and sprinted down the stairs and out the door.

From here on out, she had control of her own life, and she was going to become a strong shinobi, strong enough to never fear losing her freedom again because now she wasnt surviving! She was LIVING!
