Why I? I was there also.

Shut up Chris. Anyways a man sits down at the bar the Bartender asks. "What can I get you?"

"I'll take a Diet Miller."

"A what?"

"Did I say that out loud? I'm sorry I meant a Miller Lite."

{ Memory }

Gaara stood in the middle of a featureless wasteland where the only thing to be seen was miles upon miles of sand. "Where am I?" He asked fearfully.

"We're in your mind kid." A voice said right behind him prompting him to spin around where he saw a Tanuki the size of a small mountain. "You don't have to be scared of me kid I'm insane not crazy."

Gaara couldn't explain it but he was indeed scared so scared in fact he couldn't move which was a first for him.

"We're going to be here awhile so we might as well get to know one another." Shukaku said sitting down as an oasis appeared around them. "This is good you're relaxing." He said nodding approvingly before continuing. "I never understood you humans love of the five pointed seals. The six pointed seals are less painful and we can help our jinchuriki more readily."

"Six pointed seal?" Gaara asked confused.

"Yes the six pointed seals are more secure for both us and you. Essentially we are allowed more freedom to assist you which we aren't so inclined to with that other seal because it physically hurts us in its restrictiveness." Shukaku explained shrinking into a more human like form as instructed Gaara in the history of the biju.

OOooOO

"Oh look he waking up." An unfamiliar voice said as Gaara began returning to consciousness. "So how are ya feeling?"

"Better." Gaara mumbled as his eyes fluttered open. "Who are you?"

"I'm Kurama."

"Wait you're with that strange boy er girl." Gaara declared struggling to sit up.

"Well he's unique in that he's both." The red headed girl said shrugging as her fox ears along with a mass of red fur appeared behind her.

"You're a biju." He said quietly.

"We have a winner." Kurama said in mock enthusiasm. "Someone was paying attention to an explanation."

"It was kind of necessary." Gaara mumbled. "So was Shukaku wrong in that someone is abusing a space time jutsu?"

"Yes because it been sanctioned." Kurama answered dryly. "When her job is done she will disappear because the reason for her leap will be undone."

"What is her job?"

"That would be telling." She answered with a sadness in her eyes that didn't match her smirk.

OOooOO

"Why couldn't I have been allowed to reveal my presence more rather than resort to espionage?" The white haired girl grumbled under her breath as the gates of Konoha came into view.

"State your name affiliation and reason for entering." The chunin at the gate asked.

"Code five six nine charlie three one alpha." The girl answered as the chunin stiffened before he keyed a mike a set pattern followed by one of the hokage's personal anbu shunshining in front of her.

"Come with me please." The Anbu said as the girl nodded taking the Anbu hand as they shunshined into the Hokage's office.

Minato sat at his desk his hands folded in front of him as his Anbu appeared in front of him with his visitor. Dismissing the ninja Minato didn't take his eyes off the girl. "How do you know one of our passwords?"

"I was sent back in time to warn the village of trouble ahead. As well as to talk with my mother." The girl said her face impassive.

"Who is your mother?" Minato asked.

"Ranma Uzumaki." The girl answered as Minato let his stoic mask slip in surprise.

OOooOO

Ranma was sitting in her office writing on a scroll when the summons came sighing she put her writing implements away before heading to the hokage tower.

"What do ya have for me?" She asked entering the hokage's office.

"You have a visitor with something important to say." Minato answered indicating the only other occupant in the room.

Ranma looked on as the unknown girl with white hair turned with tears in her eyes as she slowly walked toward Ranma. "Mom." She said as she threw her arms around Ranma and broke down sobbing uncontrollably.

Wrapping her arms around the girl Ranma quirked an eyebrow at Minato in a question her answer was a shrug. "Would you mind telling me what's wrong? And what's your name." She asked quietly.

"You named me Yuki. I haven't seen you since I was a few months old because Orochimaru captured you during his failed invasion during the chunin exams. Please don't let yourself get captured I lost my first mother in a skirmish with the musk. It almost broke me to lose you as well. Great grandmother was never able to replace either of you."

"Shan Pu?" Ranma asked in surprise holding Yuki at arms length.

"Yes it's me." Yuki answered with a weak smile. "Honestly I like Mu Tsu better as my brother/sister Ichigo than I ever did as a suitor."

"So did you have any info from me while I was gone?" Ranma asked bringing her daughter back into a hug.

"Just one way because of the jutsu you created a few months ago." Yuki answered.

Ranma nodded knowing the jutsu in question. It allowed any scrolls that were keyed to her to copy anything she wrote irregardless of distance while it was active. Then a thought hit her as the pair sat down separating. "How do you know when I finished it a few months ago?"

"I'm a chakra sensor and your almost two months pregnant with me." Yuki answered indicating Ranma's midsection.

"Hmmm." Ranma answered as she had already determined a couple weeks ago that she was pregnant.

"Anyway it was about six years from now that you succumbed to whatever Orochimaru put you through." Yuki said continuing. "Dad is great but he isn't you. Ichigo, Kurashi, and I need you mom." Tears streaming down her face Yuki started to become transparent. "Whatever you do don't let Orochimaru win." With her final plea Yuki completely disappeared allowing Ranma's arms to fall by her side.

"Dad." Ranma said not moving as she came to a few conclusions.

"Yeah?" Minato asked.

"I think we need Jiraiya here ASAP." Ranma replied.

"I agree." He stated writing on a scroll before summoning a message toad.

OOooOOooOO
