Truth
Setsuko sighed and shook her head.
"Not many people know that. That's why the wolf god is after me. It raised Aka Yuki and wants to give Aka Yuki peace. I have to fight this thing without a drop of blood being shed and that's not how I fight! All I have is two months! Even with the demon soul I have no chance unless I start to train this very moment, no matter what my condition may be!" Kakashi shrugged.
"If that's the way you want it." Kakashi put two books of Come Come Paradise on top of Setsuko's head. "Clean the house in less than a hour and a half without letting the books fall off your head and you can NOT touch them with your hands." Setsuko felt a faint blush spread across her cheeks as she stood still with the books on her head.
"You . . . you want me to do . . . house work with the perverted books on my head?" She asked quietly. Kakashi nodded while Setsuko glared at him. Kakashi ducked in order to avoid a frying pan that Setsuko had thrown. "PERVET!!!!!!!"

Naruto scratched the back of his head. Hinata stood next to him with a questioning look. He had run into her earlier and now she had agreed to help him look. He could have sworn he heard his cousin screaming something. He shrugged it off and went back to looking for her with Hinata.
--------------------
Setsuko shoved a old bag of potato chips into a trash bag. She was disgusted at how her cousin could live like this. It was two years old. Setsuko suppressed a shudder and picked up a old cartoon of ramen.
"Figures." She grumbled as she shoved it into the bag of trash. Setsuko knelt down to pick up the last piece of trash on the ground. As she shoved the failed test paper into her trash bag Setsuko looked at the clock on the wall. 20 MINUTES?! She had taken twenty minutes to just pick up all the trash. Setsuko pushed her sleeves back as she prepared to go into cleaning overdrive. She still had to dust, wash the windows, put everything away, sweep, wash the floors, wash the laundry. Setsuko grabbed two pieces of cloth, one for each hand. The young woman began to dust as thoroughly and quickly as she could. She paused a few times to stop herself from sneezing. Setsuko rubbed away a smug of dirt on her cheek as she glanced at the clock to check the time. That had taken 15 minutes. She had 55 minutes left. Setsuko fought back a grimace as she began to wash the grim covered windows.

Chiharu looked up at the sky as the wind ruffled her fur. She was on top of a rocky cliff.
"Aka Yuki . . . is this the fate you left for?" She asked herself. "You could have gone on living here in the forest . . . why did you leave?" Two birds landed on the rock beside her. The tips of their white feathers were lined with a light violet, they had blue-gray beaks and claws, and silver eyes stared at Chiharu. "Sayo, Tsuki . . . forgive me but Aka Yuki's soul must be put to rest." The birds responded with a soft flute like sound. Chiharu closed her eyes. "The secrets of Ninjou Shuujuku will die soon. I can feel old age eating away at me . . . I will not last long."
--------------------
Setsuko ran across the room, pushing a rag on the floor with her hands. She reached the wall and quickly shoved the rag to the side a bit and ran to the other wall. Once she reacted the wall as stood up and wiped away the sweat that had gathered in her brow.
"Done." She panted with pride. Setsuko glanced at the clock. A sigh of relief passed out of her mouth as she realized that she had one minute to spare.
". . . Yuki-chan?" Setsuko froze as she heard the familiar voice from behind her. "Why are you balancing Kakashi-sensei's perverted books on your head?" Setsuko, with a face the color of a tomato, turned to face Naruto and some girl. The girl had pale lavender eyes and bluish hair. A faint streak of red was across her checks.
". . . wellllllllll . . . . there's a good reason for that . . ."
"Hmm . . . I figured you would still be on the windows. This place was so dirty." Kakashi's voice was behind her. Setsuko spun around and glared at him while the books fell to the floor. Setsuko pointed at him as flames appeared in her eyes.
"YOU!!!!" She bellowed. "You explain it to him!!!!!!!!" Kakashi picked up the books and stuffed them away in his pocket.
"Doushita?" (What's the matter?) Kakashi asked as if nothing had ever happened. Setsuko felt her jaw hit the ground.
"Yuki-chan? What's going on?" Setsuko sent a wry glare at Kakashi before turning her attention back to Naruto. The girl looked away embrassed.
"N-Naruto, I'll s-see y-you l-l-later." The girl nearly tripped over her own feet as she left. Naruto waved goodbye to her at the door.
"Bye Hinata-chan!" He replied cheerfully.
"Naruto-kun, I haven't been totally honest with you . . ." She glanced at Kakashi and he shrugged before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Setsuko smiled faintly at Naruto. "My name isn't Yuki. It's Setsuko. I'm your cousin, but I only learned that today. Before I had merely thought it a coincidence."
"Why did you lie about your name?" Setsuko sat down on the couch.
"Perhaps it would be best if you sat down while I tell you everything. It is a long story." Naruto sat down after he hesitated for a moment. "When I was born, a demon was sealed into me . . ."
Aka Yuki lifted her hand up to her mouth with a distant expression on her face. She bit down on her thumb and sent spikes of blood towards everyone that was in sight. Blood seemed to splash out onto the ground but Aka Yuki took no notice as she walked by with the distant look in her eyes. Two strange white ribbons were floating around Aka Yuki. The long white ribbons shot out and wrapped themselves around an ANBU that had tried to sneak up on her. Aka Yuki walked on as his blood filled the air. Her feet left bloody footprints as she walked and the blood boiled. Aka Yuki stopped and looked around with a dull expression on her face. She stared at a pregnant woman moaning in pain before her. She was in labor. Aka Yuki held her hand up above her head and blood from her thumb formed a spike in her hand. Her eyes narrowed as she brought the spike down into the woman's stomach. Aka Yuki knelt down on one knee as she tore open the woman. She pulled a young baby girl out of the bloody woman. The demon cut the umbilical cord with the blood spike. She stood up tall as she held onto the babies legs and started to beat its back. After a few hits the baby burst into loud cries. Aka Yuki held the baby right-side up and looked at it with gentle eyes. She pulled the baby close to her and held it close. She brushed away some blood from the baby's face as she smiled at the child. The smile was wiped form her face.
"Ah." Was all that came from her lips as the demon sank to her knees. Aka Yuki looked over her shoulder to see the Hokage of the village she had attacked. A gray haired man with wrinkles covering his face. His dull green eyes glared at her as he finished several seals. Aka Yuki let out an ear piercing shriek of pain as she felt her soul being ripped from her body, her mind crumbling as her heart slowed down. The baby's screams filled the air after Aka Yuki fell to the ground, dead. She laid on her side, holding the child as her body started to fade. The man pulled the baby out of the demon's arms and looked at it.
"Forgive me little one. It was the only way." He fell to his knees as the effects of the sealing method started to come.
Setsuko rubbed her shoulder.
"So you see, in detail, I'm just like you. For 13 years of my life I carried the demon inside of me. Then, on my birthday, I fully merged with the demon. That's why I look this way. Because of my demon soul. And now, a wolf god who raise Aka Yuki wants to kill me. It already tried but was stopped before it could finish me off."
"But . . . why weren't you able to beat it?" Naruto interrupted Setsuko before she could say anything else.
"It taught Aka Yuki to fight, I use the same technique as that demon. The wolf god is a master of my technique. So I have to learn a new fighting style. Now that Chikan ((Pervert)) will be training me." Naruto blinked a few times. "Is there something you don't understand?" Her cousin was silent for a few minutes before answering.
"Who's Chikan?" Setsuko stared at Naruto in dead silence for a moment.
"The masked weirdo who is your sensei." She deadpanned.
