Me: ok, for the rest of the story, I need to make some notifications. Yura has her own thoughts that are her think talking. (she can't because of the seal) and theere is still 'her' talking aswell. Then there is also Nekomeino, the demon cat that also resides in all the Nekoki clan. (if you want to, read chapter seven, that isn't actually going to be part of the story, mainly a history of the clan so you understand it…)

'Yura talking''Nekoharu talking'

(Yura thinking) (Nekoharu thinking)

Yura: kinda confusing… I'll clarify. Because I can't speak because my body is under that bastards control, I will only be talking like 'this' Also, our resident clan demon will be talking (like me) like 'this'. Hope you understand!

Me: Right…well… I figured, it's the sixth chapter, I think everyone realizes I don't own Naruto. If I did there would be a lot of different things, believe me.

Hinata: Like what, IroAo-san?

Me: Well... I would make a lot of characters dreams come true. It's hard to watch them suffer.

Lee: REALLY! WILL YOU LET ME AND SAKURA-CHAN GO OUT!

Me: AHH! LEE? Where did you come from?

Lee: Spying on sakura in her house… I heard everyone was coming to see a story teller… figured I'd go and well you said you'd grant our dreams…

Me: No, I said I would IF I owned Naruto…

Naruto: Own me?

Me: The show…

Naruto, Neji, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino: Show?

Me: Forget it… ok?

Everyone: O.k… shouldn't you be writing the story?

Me: right… on with the story!

LOCKED

Yura had a type of double vision. She could see Orochimaru and Kabuto laughing and Sasuke in the corner with a smirk. She also saw her mind, atleast what she thought was her mind. Turning away from the degrading picture of reality she choose to explore her new location.

Her mind seamed to be made up of long corridors with doors and windows. In the windows she could see an endless stream of her memories flowing by. Yura had stopped looking out when she realized she had been wandering backwards in the time as they became more dark.

The doors she came across were plain. Some though, had labels. Justus, Seals, Clan Regulations, How to cook rice, and Why I am better than Shou, were what some of them were called. As she read those titles the thought back.

'Why I am better than Shou… hmm'

FLASHBACK

"wah!"

"Hush now my sweet all will be better, mother is here now." Kooed her mother at the baby in her arms.

Yura was sitting at the table, watching silently. She hated the way her parents spoiled her little brother. Always kooing and mewing at him. He was only a baby, what could he possibly do?

"Stop staring Yura, it is not good for you. And it is rude aswell." She added as an after thought.

"Why do you spoil shou?" Yura asked befor she thought out what she was saying. Her father had just walked into the room, and he and her mother were both frowning at thier oldest.

Her father answered first; "Yura, Shou is only a baby. He isn't strong like you or me. He requires the help we give him so he can learn. You were once spoiled as well, but now you're older. You are strong, gifted, and kind. All good qualities you should be proud of." He smiled. Yura – being only nine and a half – didn't quite understand. But he was happy so, so was she.

'I will remember that. I'm better.' Was her childish thought.

END FLASHBACK

'I must have really stored that away… I dedicated a section of my mind to it.' Opening the door a bit she saw memories of that moment and others that proved herself stronger. 'Oh… it was more than that… heh heh… I must have really been a prick… heh… keep walking…' she muttered.

"Kabuto, please esqort Yura to a guest room. She needs some rest and I will not have her here." Orochimaru ordered. He himself, sat back down on his bed. At fisrt when Yura had told him he would need rest, he had douted her, but now he really felt the weight. Sleep was the only thing he had in mind.

"Come on Yura, Lets go." Kabuto said, reaching out and grabbing her wrist. He pulled her out of the room by force. Sasuke, following with a small laugh.

Yura had stopped wnadering to take a break. The way she was going had become darker, and the walls were no longer made of fine wood. Stone and cold metal was all that surrounded her. The windows and doors were gone. To pass the time waiting, she watched the reality unfold.

'I hate you Kabuto! If only I was able to move! Argh!' Yura complained loudly in reaction to Kabuto's rough removal.

'Stop making such a racket kit, you woke me from my nap.'

Turning slowly around Yura almost ran away. Infront of her was a huge cat. She hadn't even noticed it's approch. It's coat was midnight black with golden tips. It reminded her of her outfit. Mainly black with small golden detail.

Being brave, Yura decided to speak up. 'S-s-s-s-s-sor-r-r-ry...', well maybe not as brave as she thought. The feline took a small step forwards, and bent down laughing.

'Dear kit, are you frightened? Am I really something to be scared of? You learned all about me, so seeing me should not be so drightening should it?' The demon asked, still laughing. He received no verbal answer, only a shake of her head. (She didn't run… not fair…)

'Yes, when I was little we were taught about you – if you truly are Neko haru – I remember everything… but why are you here… aren't you supposed to be in that room with everything I learned about you?' Yura ventured.

The cat shook its large head before speaking. 'No. I live here, in the dark. No room for me, only the dark and cold stone.'

'But… there isn't a gate… couldn't you go out of the cold?'

'Wrong again. I am locked here, bound by your will, and un knowingly you kept me here. In the dark.' The demon paused and shook its head. There was a puff of smoke and when it finally cleared a young, handsome man; no older than Yura stood. His eyes mirrored her own, his whole image mirrored hers. His skin was pale, his hair silky and black - tipped gold like his fur once was. He was tall and lean, his black clothes clinging to his slender form. As he moved Yura couldn't help but notice how his muscles rippled under the thin material.

'Ah well, whats done is done.' He continued in his human form. 'With you here as a guard I'm sure you will let me move around, will you not?'

Yura was taken aback. She didn't expect him to ask that. She figured he would stay here, and she would leave. Not that she didn't mind the company, his company. She would be alone otherwise.

(Should I? Nekoharu would be someone to talk to… maybe…)Yura thought. 'Please yourself… if it means coming with me then do so…'

'Thank you…' He took a few steps towards her, chuckling slightly when the still frightened Yura backed away. 'We are in your mind, what makes you think I'll harm you here? I can't even do anything. Everything here is made by you – except me of course.'

'Ah..ah..um..' Yura muttered, her mouth and brain seemed to be disconnected. She stared dumbly at the handsome, frightening demon as he continued to come closer. The closer he got the more she felt uncomfortable. It wasn't that she was overly scared, but that she was filled with an emotion she couldn't describe. He seemed to affect her some how. (This makes no sense… why am I excited and scared at the same time) She mused.

'Come then, show me around…' Nekoharu said from directly infront of her.

'Ah!' Yura had just realized he had gotten very close. When he spoke the only reaction she had was run, but even that didn't work. Toppelling towards the ground, all she could actually do was scream.

(Oops… Oh well, I scared her, guess I got what I wanted… better help her up though…) Nekoharu snikered to himself. Crouching down, he gazed into her eyes.

Yura couldn't help but blush as she realized his gaze was locked with her own. She was paralized. Every part of her body frozen in antisipation. She was even more surprized as he offered her his hand. Reaching out she took ahold of his hand, and before she even realized (1) what she had done, Nekoharu pulled her up and let go.

Turning around, he began to walk away. Yura, not wanting to be alone after having company, walked after him. Her body was still shaking from the experience. No matter how hard she tried to forget the way she felt, she was still glowing with happiness. (Being locked away wouldn't be so bad now.)

Me: Ok, no more Author's Notes in the story… they are represented by numers that will correspond to numbrs down here:

Lee: … Yura do you have a crush on Nekoharu?

Yura: … Y-no…

IroAo: nice… oh… if everyone noticed Haru (I might call Nekoharu that from time to time) calls Yura kit and if everyone is confused because Kyuubi calls Naruto kit, well kit coming from Haru means kitten, its more of a pet name then anything… I think he likes her…

Nekoharu: Do not!
