Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters in that show. I do, however, own Jena. This is in an alternate universe, and I have not seen the anime, just read some of the books and fanfiction, so I apologize if anyone's out of character.

Any how, I hope you enjoy this, and review to help me out!

Prologue

I felt the rage swell within me again. I couldn't stop it, I never could. No matter how hard I fought it, I always felt my control slip, and my body attack and destroy another.

I am Jena, wife of Gai and an elite Anbu of Konohagakure. Or, at least, that's what part of me is. The other part, my evil side, is simply the Panther. A feared being is Panther, one completely out of my control, who answers to no one on this planet or of this planet.

I was captured and tortured during a failed mission a few months ago, and towards the end of the session Panther came into creation and was placed within me. I lived in fear, as any emotion triggers the release of Panther. I could not control my body very often, and those few times were decreasing with agonizing speed. I fought continuously within myself, and lost most of the time. I barely caught myself from killing Gai, the love of my life, and my brother, Kakashi. I failed too much and too often though. Because of me and my incompetance, my own parents were gone. Gai lost his parents the same day, as did the Harunas. That poor little girl, she had to have been five years old at the most, I believe her name was Sakura.

Guilt welled up within me, ceaselessly, harshly, I should have left sooner than I did. But I could hardly bear to leave those I loved, Gai, Kakashi, Tsunade…Even Genma, that hentai, was hard to leave behind, as I knew they had to be left.

A/N Again, please review and help me! Thanks. I know its short, the next one will be longer, or this one will be extended, depending on the response I receive.
