Chapter 4! Yay, I'm so happy. So much work, so much work (moan) oh well! Look at it sunny side up nai? Smile, smile, smile (I think I'm losing it). Well enjoy my work, if there was anything you think I should change tell me, I'll listen (I'm really good at that)!

I don't own Naruto, if only I did. (I'm broke, I need money, don't sue please)!

Cerise's body erupted in an incredible heat, the skin around her shoulders ripped open; her own blood began to mix with the blood and ink of the seals. She shuddered as the pain grew. Her hands began to tear at the ground below her, the area behind her hears pulsed in even greater with a singeing heat. The pain finally erupted in her back as two metallic structures protruded out, they glistened with fresh blood. Black seals lined the appendages as the blood began to drip off. Behind her ears two horn like appendages grew, they were covered with the same seals and blood. Cerise cried out in pain, when she felt someone's hands wrap around her. Her breathing slowed down, and sleep began to overcome her.

Cerise woke up alone in the dark. "Hello," she called. She was standing up, afraid of the darkness around her. Her breathing became erratic, but someone had grabbed her and comforted her. She sighed.

"You're going to have to tell them," a voice called out.

"Uhh…what!" she said turning around to see who it was that had a hold of her. It was too late, they had already disappeared. Cerise thought about what they said, about telling them, 'It's going to be so hard.'

"Cerise, Cerise," two voices called out to her.

"Uhnnn…wha…" she moaned, opening her eyes.

"Hey there little cherry, you're up," Mitzuki sighed with a smile.

Cerise's vision was off a bit; she reached up towards her eye to feel a patch over eye.

"The seal, it…" Cerise started, Mitzuki simply smiled.

"I'm thinking that you probably have a lot to tell us, but don't worry about it, right? Jiraiya had a ninja named Rin take care of it for you, but he said you'll have to help her replace the seal."

"Where's Ikechi?"

"He left to go get Rin when you came around. Do you know what happened to you?"

Cerise simply shook her head yes.

"Oh…well I'm sure there was a reason for not telling us."

She simply bent down her head; tears began to form in her eyes. There was a reason for not telling them, she had to protect them, the less they knew the better off. Mitzuki left to find out what was keeping Ikechi. Cerise got up slowly from the bed she was lying in. Her head began to pound as her feet met the cold, hard ground. She couldn't believe the pain she felt. She just sat there for a while just focusing on the flow of blood in her body. She could feel the seal in her knee begin to repair itself using Cerise's own blood. She grabbed her shirt and lifted it up to see what was left of the seals on her stomach, 'Just a small seal,' she sighed. She knew the seal on her eye was gone completely without looking, once that seal was destroyed, her grandfather's "inheritance" took over.

"Il sangue, l'acqua, l'aria, la terra," she muttered at the thought of her grandfather. Cerise tried to get up again, with a bit more success than last time. She walked over to end of the room, noticing only one other person in bed. They looked pretty out of it.

"He can't move," came a sweet voice.

Cerise turned around to see a medical nin. "Rin?" Cerise asked.

The nin simply nodded as she set some equipment on the bed where Cerise came from.

"What happened?"

"Huh…well he was struck in his back, and instant paralysis. I've tried just about all I can do to help him move, but no luck," Rin sighed, "Well come on now, I need to help you with that seal."

Cerise walked over back to the bed. She noticed some of her own scrolls, ink, and even her Maledire Specchio.

"You don't mind do you?"

"Hmm…oh no, you would have needed them anyways."

Cerise grabbed a shuriken carefully dragging its blade across her hand. Rin handed her a bottle of sealing ink, and after Cerise let the blood flow off her hand and into the bottle, she shook it violently. Rin watched as Cerise's hand quickly healed, she had wondered why she didn't see any wounds on her. Rin helped Cerise remove the patch, amazingly the scar that once crossed it was gone, but her eye was now a red-violet color not the pale violet it had been when Rin applied the patch. Rin handed a brush to Cerise who began almost immediately to apply the seal. Rin watched intently as the ninja applied her well known seal.

"La terra," Cerise muttered as she finished the seal closest to her eye, the seal began to glow a pale green.

"L'aria." The next seal began to glow a dull gray.

"L'acqua." This seal was all ready down the side of her cheek, and began to glow a bright blue.

"Il sangue." The last seal was complete its bright red color shined brighter than the other colors.

"Foggiato," she sighed with the last stroke. The seals shined bright, the colors mixing into a duller and duller white until they became black. Cerise picked up the Maledire and held it up to her eye. The seal seemed to run into the Maledire as the black marks ran up to her eye. The seal was over, but Cerise grabbed the shuriken and sliced her left eye down, reopening the hole in her pupil and bringing fresh blood down her face. Rin gasped a little at the self inflicted wound. Cerise brought her finger towards the injured eye, it pulsed with charka.

"Fine," she muttered as the charka healed the wound, leaving a fresh scar across her face.

"Oh I see that's how you finish the seal."

Cerise nodded. She was about to take off her shirt to perform the seal on her stomach when Jiraiya walked in.

"Rin, do you mind if I talk to her alone?" he asked.

"Oh, sure, it won't matter if we wait to put on the last seal will it?"

"No."

"Well I'll leave you two."

Rin left while Jiraiya walked towards Cerise. He examined the young girl before deciding to talk.

"You know I remember Biou's student having black short hair, and her name was Nami."

Cerise looked down to the ground, she had the feeling Jiraiya would remember her. She felt the bed move down as Jiraiya set down.

"He told that…that if…if I didn't want my father…if I didn't want him to find me…that I…I should take a disguise. So after Biou died…I left the hidden village of the waterfall and ended up in Rice Village," Cerise said chocking back tears.

"Hmm, I see, it makes sense. But why lie about your age to Mitzuki and Ikechi? I mean you're about twenty-one or –two."

"It was just part of the disguise," she shrugged, "And I'm about to be twenty-one."

"Huh, well, so what was all of that back there? I know it wasn't that curse of yours."

"Yeah you're right. It was just the last seal building strength."

"As a fish?"

"What?" Cerise looked at him in shook, 'How does he know?' she thought.

"Naruto has a demon sealed into him as well you know that. He told me you two had met when you first arrived," he explained.

"…But…how do you know?"

"When you were with Biou I saw them. But I mean I didn't expect you to be posed by the Leviathan."

"…It was my grandfather's inheritance, the thing he passed on to me at my birth," Cerise explained.

"Hmm…so you put a seal on them to keep your father's powers at bay?"

"Yeah…but after the last seal breaks they don't do much."

"Well Nami, Cerise, whatever it may be I'll help you all I can. I know your father has a plan for something, though I have no clue it may be. And besides your just so damn cute I just have to help," he smiled.

"Thanks, oh and let's just stick with Cerise. It took forever for me to get used to it," Cerise smiled.

"No problem," Jirayia waved.

He left, while Mitzuki and Ikechi burst threw the door.

Foggiato- meld or mix

Fine- finish
