Chapter three: The awakening

Tears fell down the young shinobi's cheeks as she had surgery the doctors weren't sure why but she had her reasons. She was having a flashback from hell.

Flashback

"Joi I killed them for you but I can't let you off the hook I have to kill you to. Run, run away far away go to a different country or even a different state but don't stay here or I'll be forced to kill you. Get stronger than me physically, and mentally so when I find you or you find me you can kill me in the heat of battle that way I don't have to kill you. Don't come back until your ready. Don't come back and know that I love you so much and so did mom and dad. I'm sorry it has to end like this sis but it must. Now run!" Zero Josephine's brother said as he wiped the blood off his face.

"Is this the only out come the only way?" Josephine asked.

"It is if you want to live."

"Fine then, love yeah to bro and no that I loved mom and dad at one time but that time has faded and now, now I love them even more. What they tried do was wrong but it was for all the right reasons they were right I am a monster and I'll have to face it some day. I only wish you could be there to help me through it. But obviously you've made up your mind and now I shall disappear from your world at least for a little while but remember I'll be back." Josephine said as she turned to walk away but before she could run her brother spoke, "I'll look forward to it sis by the way don't forget your rat." Her brother said as he sat her soul onto her shoulder. "Thanks I can't live without my Chihuahua Buddy literally." Josephine said and then added, "You know were not all that different bro but yet we still strive to be the same think about that. Love yeah bye." Then she disappeared without a trace.

End of flashback

"Good morning Josephine." Naruto said as she opened her eyes.

"Zero?" Josephine said still under the influence of the anesthetics.

"No Naruto." Naruto said slowly just to add sarcasm.

"Uzumaki!" Josephine said happily.

"Ore ma Uzumaki Naruto desu!"

"Wait…What?"

"Oh sorry I forgot that you can't understand Japanese. What I said is I am Uzumaki Naruto believe it!"

"Ok-ay then."

"Why do you call me Uzumaki?" Naruto asked.

"Because that is your name isn't it?"

"Yeah but there is the name Naruto."

"And then there is Uzumaki."

"Fair enough you win."

"Now who's this Zero person?"

"My… well… I really don't want to talk about him. But he is my big brother."

"Okay then moving on. What's your first name?" Naruto asked.

"You mean my real name?"

"Josephine isn't your real name?"

"No it's Joi."

"Really now."

"Shut up Uzumaki I already know what you're going to say."

"Isn't that a guy's name?"

"Once again shut the hell up."

"No seriously isn't that a guy's name."

"Not necessarily Uzumaki."

"But you are saying Joi as in J-O-E-Y right?"

"No as in J-O-I the girls way of spelling it. You see when it's a guys name it's J-O-E-Y but when it's a girls name it's spelled J-O-I."

"You learn something new every day I suppose." Naruto said surprised.

"I suppose." Josephine said back.

"I thought you knew every thing how can you suppose if you know every thing?"

"You are so lucky that I can't punch you right now."

"You don't say?"

"Oh but I do." Josephine said back.

"Fine then I need to find a nick name for you."

"Such as?"

"Such as hope or destiny."

"I don't like the sound of either."

"To bad you are my destiny."

"I guess as long as I can still call you Uzumaki."

"Sure."

When the doctors said it was okay to take Josephine home Naruto instantly picked up Josephine and ran her home. When they got back to the dorm they had a very mad master waiting in the room for them.

"Uzumaki, Joi were the hell have you two been?"

"I took Josephine to the shinobi hospital because her ribs hurt to ware she could hardly breathe."

"Is this true Joi?"

"Stop calling me Joi!" Josephine said through gritted teeth.

"Why that is your name isn't it?"

"No its Josephine to you there's only two people in this world that can call me that and you are not one of them."

"May I ask who the two are?"

"Yes they are my brother Zero and Uzumaki."

"Naruto can call you Joi but I can't."

"Doi!"

"Ok moving on is this true Josephine?"

"Yes it is I had to get surgery on my left rib and my left lung because when my rib moved it punctured my lung."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes but I won't be up and running for a few days and I will probably need someone to stay and help me out until I'm good to go."

"Who do you request?"

"Uzumaki he is the only one I trust and get along with."

"Fine Naruto stay here while we train." With that Kakashi left the room.

"Fun!" Naruto said sarcastically.

"BARK…BARK!" Josephine's little dog yelped as Naruto sat her down on the bed.

"Oh little brother did I leave you here I'm sorry!" Josephine said to the dog.

"What's with the rat?"

"He's not a rat he's a full breed Chihuahua.

"What ever."

"And he's my soul."

"What do you mean he's your soul?"

"He's the other half of my soul."
"Okay then. What does that mean?"

"You know soul transfusion."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Um… Long story short when I was five my dog Buddy died because some one shot him for living. I was heart broken when my parents brought home Buddy's body it was battered and bloody. I wouldn't let them bury his body I just sat there and cried for about a week. I remember staying home and skipping school because I was so sad. That Friday my brother came home with his text book they were learning about soul transfusions it made sense I remember the exact definition of soul transfusion it said that a soul transfusion was the ritual in which you give a dead person or thing half of your soul so that thing can live. But there are rules to this particular ritual they are once you do a soul transfusion you can never do another transfusion with your remaining soul unless you are willing to sacrifice your self for that person or thing. What's done is done you can't undo a soul transformation. You can't give your soul away to a nonliving object. You may never give a living or nonliving objects your full soul. And before doing a transfusion you must make sure the person or thing is dead. And that was it for that page."

"So what happened next?" Naruto asked Josephine as she paused.

"Well we did the soul transfusion not thinking to read the other page. When it was done only then did I realize that there was more on the other side it was rule number six and a couple of warnings they said, rule number six soul transfusion is a against the strictest decree. Those who break the law and do it any way and get caught will be sentenced to death.

WARNING: If you soul transform with an undead thing you will get a half of there soul and they will get half of yours.

WARNING: If you soul transform with an animal and you are a human it will cause you to turn into an unknown demon of what sort? We do not know.

And that was the end of the chapter."

"Did you use your soul?"

"Yes of course."

"Oh so you're a demon?"

"Duh!'

"Ok let me get this straight you broke the rules in soul transfusion and the law all in ten minuets just for your dog Buddy. And for braking the rules and doing a soul transfusion with an animal you are forever doomed to be a demon."

"Something like that."

"You aren't finished are you?"

"Yes I am."

"But what happened to your parents and brother?"

"Ah-that's another story for another day ok." Josephine said to Naruto as she stared at the ground. Naruto grabbed her chin to make look into his eyes, "You do love me don't you?"

"Yes of course."

"Then you can tell me every thing."

"I-I g-guess."

"Then shoot."

"Last year the town found out about the soul transformation and they told my parents to kill me, and being the respectful people that they were they tried to kill me. But my brother Zero wouldn't stand for it he killed my parents to spare me for a couple of years. He told me this in the exact words- "Joi I killed them for you but I can't let you off the hook I have to kill you to. Run, run away far away go to a different country or even a different state but don't stay here or I'll be forced to kill you. Get stronger than me physically, and mentally so when I find you or you find me you can kill me in the heat of battle that way I don't have to kill you. Don't come back until your ready. Don't come back and know that I love you so much and so did mom and dad. I'm sorry it has to end like this sis but it must. Now run!" He told me it was the only out come the only way. Then I told him I loved him and that I would be back some day. He said he was looking forward to it. Then I left him with a thought I told him "You know bro me and you aren't that different but yet we strive to be the same." Josephine ended as tears started to fall down her cheeks she quickly wiped them away.

"Destiny I'm so sorry."

"No it's ok I'm fine."

"No your not, if you were fine you wouldn't be crying."
There was a long silence but it was soon pierced by six simple words.

"Uzumaki your neck it's bleeding again!" Josephine said in alarm as she pointed at his neck were he had sixteen stitches.

Alright another chapter! Happy moment! Ok the soul transfusion thing may have struck you as a little odd. But it basically made my character so it was worth writing it out. Naruto is a little softer in this story but trust me he won't be so soft when Josephine's brother Zero tries to kill her. Oh and her little Chihuahua buddy he isn't all that innocent that's all I can say or I'll ruin the story. And yes I do have a Chihuahua that's name is Buddy he look's just like a Doberman but way smaller so that's why my demon form is a Doberman it only makes sense. Any who the whole transfusion thing makes sense you just have to open your mind to new things. Just so you people know in real life my name is Josephine and my nick name is Joi not that it really matters or any thing.
