chapter 2: together


Sakura awakes slowly. She lay down on something heat and soft... what happened? She stand and looks around her. It's a forest, but she doesn't recognise any trees and the air is hotter than at the village. She stand on an enormous mass of white and soft fur ......eh, it moves!!! The animal is always in the fur!! Terrorized, Sakura sees an enormous animal stand up. It resembles to a cat, but larger than a horse, and with a big hairy tail and enormous canines.

The voice of Tyl go out the sharp-edged teeth mouth.
The cat: "Sakura, you wake up? how are you?"
Sakura remains without voice a moment.
Sakura: "T... T... Tyl?????"
The cat:"Yes, it's me. I'm sorry, Sakura, I lied you on a point: I am not Ninja of Konoha."

Sakura is deafened too much to react.
Tyl: "But all the other, I told you the truth, Sakura "
Sakura: "But... who... who are you?"
Tyl: "I am what your people call demon. But I prefer the name of spirit of nature."

Sakura: "But, but, where are we? "
Tyl: " In a forest of the Stone country, where I have my territory. The human ones seldom go here. I took you along here to continue to teach you my techniques. Oh, you know, I am not a powerful demon, as you can see, I am not very large compared with many demon and I am not very strong,..... like you. But I know many things and I am a valid wizard.... Then, do you agree to receive my teaching? or do you want that I bring you back to your village and never see me again?"

Sakura: "... why me...?"
Tyl: "... I benefitted from the examination of Chuunin to examine the genins and among all, I saw that you resembled to me much, then I decided to help you to progress. And then, I will like to ask you for a service in exchange."

Sakura: "a Service?"
Tyl:"You are free to accept or to refuse, I will not anger. My field in the forest gives me force and life, but the human ones began to clear and cut the trees on my territory to make new cultivable grounds and build farms. I could prevent that, and fight them. But I don't want it. If I begin a war against the human ones, I know that much will come here to fight me, and some human are more powerful than me. And I will die and disapear completely of this world. Then I choose to leave them this earth. But I need a new lodging. A place where I can reside. Then I think of you. I would like that your body is the receptacle of my life. My heart will fall asleep in you and my body will melt in yours. You will change a little, physically. But nothing spectacular, I am not very powerful."

Sakura: "If I accept... I couldn't be ninja any more."
Tyl: "Having a demon in the body don't stop to be Ninja, take example on Naruto."
Sakura: "Naruto???"
Tyl: "Yes, Naruto keep in his body the Nine-Tail Fox ."
Sakura: "??????!!!!!!!!"
Tyl: "You see, it's not a problem. I am far from being as strong as Kyubi, and I couldn't help you as much that he assists Naruto , I am sorry. Then, do you accept?"
Sakura: "Yes, I accept."
Tyl: "I will teach you all that I can before melting myself in you, Sakura."



The Time that we passed together in this forest, Tyl and me, appeared too short to me, too much short. Even if the life were painful and he made me work hard, I was happier than ever. But this happiness was of short duration, the ninjas found us and hunt us, Tyl and me. Our Genjutsu enabled us to save time, but they will pass quickly through our labyrinth. It's only question of hours before they find us.
Tyl: "Sakura, it's time to say good-bye..."
Sakura: "No! not now! Tyl... "
Tyl: "We need. They soon will arrive in our hiding-place, and they will kill me. I am a dangerous demon which bewitched and kidnapped a poor little Genin."
Sakura: "Tyl, you don't kidnap me..."
Tyl: "The Scroll, Sakura."

I take out from its hiding-place a large rather old scroll and I unroll it partially. In bottom, under the gracious writing of Tyl, there is a virgin place. I written there my name with my blood and I close again the scroll. Then Tyl poses a leg above.
Sakura: "... I will miss You, Tyl... I."

A Ninja jumps in the room, stopping my sentence...... Kakashi.
Tyl: "Sakura! your hand!"
I put my hand on the scroll before the Jounin can have time to seize me. Instantaneously, I feel a hot wind cross me, then all is finished. When I reopen the eyes, Tyl in front of me is changed into stone statue. It's finished.
Good-bye, Tyl.


I was taken back to the village and was examined by Hokage-sama. I must say that I changed a little by absorbing the demon. I now have pointed ears and a tail, stripes, claws and the sign of Tyl crowned on the face.
Hokage concluded that we couldn't be separated any more, the demon and me. And I became again Genin. Naruto and Sasuke mades funny faces by seeing me, but they accepted me like that. I had courage to say to them what I thought of our team and we decided to make efforts to work together. I reconciled myself with Kakashi. Now, he cares of me too. All is good.

I didn't become stronger, nor more intelligent. But now, I feel able to be useful to my team and my village. I will carry on my road to become Ninja. thanks to you, Tyl. Thank you.





I miss you.
