Two's Mirth
It was the middle of the day in Kumogakure. The sun was beating down and the sky was unusually clear. A blonde woman was sprawled out on the roof of her home, relaxing in the warmth. Her slanted eyes were closed as she thought about how her life had turned out.
As a child, she was avoided. None of her peers would play games with her, told by their parents that she was dangerous, and wicked. Those who spent time with her were grounded for a short while, and they'd avoid her afterwards, angry that she'd got them into trouble. Her only friends were the alley cats that followed her when she went out into the streets.
Then she met an older man who showed her how to do amazing things. He could walk up buildings, walk over water, and make lightning strike the ground. He asked her if she wanted to become a shinobi. She agreed as long as she could learn to do those things as well.
She later found out that the man was the Raikage, and not as nice as he'd first appeared. On the other hand, she owed everything to him as he took her in and taught her everything she would need to know. When she officially became a shinobi, the reason she'd been shunned was revealed to her. For she is Nii Yugito, Jinchuuriki of the Nibi no Nekomata.
She was introduced to a jounin who was a few years older than her. His name was Kirabi, and he was just like her, a Jinchuuriki. He became her sensei, her older brother, her best friend. They worked together on missions, and joked around when off duty. All the time, she was becoming stronger, more dangerous to her enemies, more trusted by her allies. When she became a chuunin, the glares stopped. People still didn't trust her fully, they didn't like her totally, but they respected her abilities as a kunoichi.
Now she was 22, a feared jounin in her own right, before she started to draw on the powers of the Nibi. Kirabi's older brother succeeded her first mentor as Raikage, and she was part of his personal guard. Her first mentor had stepped down after an attempt to steal the Hyuuga heiress from Konoha was foiled, nearly leading to a war that they couldn't have won.
She remembered the look on the Raikage's face when Kirabi broke out rapping during his inauguration and the photo's Kirabi had spread of the time he'd shaved his brother's eyebrows off. Her peals of laughter resounded around the rooftops, and those that heard it smiled.
Hope this is okay, mirth and Jinchuuriki were hard to put together. I was tempted to put in a ball of wool, and judicious use of catnip, but decided against it. I'm trying to do all nine before March, so expect the next one soon. This is set 7 years before she died, in case you were wondering. Til next time.
I still don't own Naruto, otherwise Gaara and Naruto would've at least met Yugito.
