Beasts Within

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Prince of Tennis. I do not own anything besides the original characters that are included in the fanfic.

All the Jinchuuriki are around 12-15 years old to stay within the middle school category along with the rest of the PoT cast. I know that the ages are wrong; I'm just making them fit into the storyline. All of the canon characters will most likely be OOC considering I can't stay to a certain personality of a canon character no matter what I do. The Jinchuuriki have total control of their Bijuu but can still talk to them whenever. When they release the chakra of their Bijuu they become stronger of course and their voices are a mixture of their voice and the bijuu they contain, therefore 'Demon Enhanced Speaking' when they do activate their powers.

"Chat" Normal talking

'Chat' Thinking

'Chat' Telepathy between Jinchuuriki

"Chat" Demon enhanced speaking

I'm making it a new requirement for my stories. This will be the first one it applies to though. Considering some people alert my story but don't review. I'm going to wait until the chapter has at least 5 reviews before I post up a new chapter. I want to know what people think of the story whether it is good advice, a good comment, or a flamer. Thanks for understanding and hope you can review. 0=D

Tail 2: A New Beginning

The Jinchuuriki all walked into the room and waited for the girl's instructions.

The girl looked at all the suitcases they had and pointed to the wall furthest away from the seal and told them all, "Put your suitcases there. I'm going to require you to sit on a certain spot in the circle."

The group did as they were told and went back to the girl waiting.

She grinned before looking towards the group once again. She shook her head before saying, "After this is done, change into your new clothes. Those clothes right now are a bit tattered don't you think?"

Looking down at their clothes, the Jinchuurikis realized what she meant. The clothes were all torn and dirty from running away from the Akatsuki some few hours prior to this.

Chuckling, the girl pointed to Gaara, Yagura (holder of the Sanbi no Kyodaigame), Han (holder of the Gobi no Irukauma), Fu (holder of the Nanabi no Kabutomushi), and Naruto. "You five go stand at the points on the star where the sides of the pentagon meet." She saw the five Jinchuuriki nod before going to their designated places. Their places where determined by the number kanji written on that part of the star. Looking towards the other four, she said, "Stand at the edges of the outer circle in the positions of North, South, East and West. Yugito (holder of the Nibi no Bakeneko) take North, Roshi (holder of the Yonbi no Saru) take East, Utakata (holder of the Rokubi no Namekuji) take South, and Killer Bee (holder of the Hachibi no Kyogyu) take West got it?" She saw the remaining four holders nod their heads before going towards the outer circle. Grinning, the girl went to the center of the star and reached into her pocket for an ink ball. The ink ball matched her chakra and when she popped the ink ball, the ink covered her hands attracted to her chakra. She then placed her hands on the seal careful to not add any more markings and chanted, "Seal our true forms, or shall we be captured, seal our power, or shall we be murdered, by the power combined by all bijuu, seal our transformations to lead us to virtue." The seal glowed before fading back into the ground. All the Jinchuuriki as well as the girl felt a tingling sensation in their hands and looked. They each had a colored ring representing their demon. They all looked at the girl to see that she had nine rings on her fingers. One ring was on each finger for each bijuu besides on her left ring finger.

The girl sighed before getting them their suitcases and leading them out to the dining room.

Sitting down, the Jinchuurikis waited for the meeting to start with their female friend.

Said female sat at the head of the table. "I bet you are all wondering what that was about," she saw them nod before continuing, "That was a sealing ritual to seal our transformation abilities while we stay in this world. When the Akatsuki arrive, we will all meet again sometime someplace. I don't know where, and I don't know when. All I know is that somehow we will meet up when they finally arrive. I checked the seal back at the cave with the crystal ball in my foresight chamber. The seal will hold for about a year. We have that long to prepare before we meet them again but that is the maximum time. The minimum time is a few months which will be the start of Regional Tournament in my school's tennis team."

The Jinchuuriki nodded after processing the information.

"Now then," the girl continued, "I will assign you nine to different schools either alone or in partners. Personally I think two or three would be better just in case something happens, but that won't be able to fit. I will be going to Rikkaidai. I will pair six of you up from highest tail with lowest tail. Gaara, Naruto, you two will be going to Shitenhouji in the Kansai region. Yugito and Killer Bee will be heading towards Josei Shonan in the Kanagawa prefecture which is where we are now. Yagura and Fu will head towards Rokkaku in the Chiba prefecture. Roshi, Han, and Utakata will go between three schools in the Tokyo prefecture. Roshi will go to Seigaku; Han will go to Hyotei, while Utakata will head over to St. Rudolph. Any questions?"

Naruto raised his hand before the girl nodded towards his direction. He asked, "What should we refer to you in public? The same name we address you in the ninja world or your actual name.

The girl grinned before saying, "Call me Beast for now. You can call me my real name in public when we get there," she finished with a wink in his direction.

Naruto nodded before sitting back in his chair.

"Alright then, this meeting is adjourned. Now then, let's choose your new clothes," the girl yelled before pushing them into their own separate rooms to get changed into a new outfit.

Beast smiled at them when she saw them all come out. All of them were wearing similar outfits.

The boys of the group were wearing t-shirts that had a certain number of tails on the back side. The number of tails helped differentiate them and was respectful to their demon. On the front side of their shirts were chibi forms of their demons that Beast had sewed on herself. Naruto, Gaara, Roshi, Han, and Killer Bee all wore jeans that were a bit tight but still concealed the fact that they had weapon pouches underneath which she knew they had. Naruto was the only one to change his hair color by adding a few golden and red highlights with chakra to change his appearance a bit.

The girls of the group had mid-riff tank tops with their number of tails on the back as well. They also had chibi versions of their demons on the front. Yugito was wearing shorts that reached up to her knees that covered the kunai pouch she had on. Fu was wearing a short skirt that covered a pair of shorts that went up to her mid-thighs. The two of them both had necklaces on that had a trinket that resembled a normal version of their demon if they were actual animals instead of demons.

They had all gotten rid of their village headbands and placed them inside their rooms that they chose when they first arrived before heading to the seals room. Each of them was wearing a color scheme that matched them perfectly (A/N: The color schemes that they were in a picture that has all of the Jinchuuriki).

Beast looked at them all before giving off a grin and having her eyes into two upside-down 'U's. "Now then, let's get some lunch before we get your weapons and find out how to hide them in your school uniforms. The barrier will be able to stop Akatsuki from coming in but…there is a drawback for that. It will only stop bandits and Akatsuki that are above A-rank. Anyone B-rank and lower will be able to make it through that barrier and come into this world got it?" she said with a grim expression.

Naruto looked at the others to see them looking down in thought. He looked back up to Beast and said, "And why should we be worried? We all have partners and the three schools that Roshi, Han, and Utakata will go to are pretty close to each other. There is no way that we can lose to those idiots."

The others looked up at their usually idiotic friend to smile at the boy. They all nodded in understanding and waited for her next announcement.

Beast smiled before saying, "Let me get changed into my normal outfit that I wear in public then." She left the hallway into a room down the hall.

After a few minutes, Beast came out in a new outfit. She was wearing a mid-riffed t-shirt with a picture of a fox on the front. She was wearing jeans that had a picture of a dragon that stopped at her knees with little cuffs representing flower petals at the ends. She was wearing slippers with diamond shaped buckles on the sides. Everyone could see the nine different colored rings on her fingers and also saw star shaped tattoos on her hands and wrists. They could also see the tattoos on her lower legs. She had on a black choker and a pointed star shaped pin with four ribbons coming out from each side in her pure white hair that also had small silver highlights that brought out her golden-colored eyes.

Beast stared at them and said, "Let's go then. You know to use my true name in public."

The Jinchuuriki group nodded before following the girl out of the mansion for lunch and watched as she bit her thumb and wiped it across the door to seal off the house from any intruders. They also saw her do the same thing to the front gates to throw out intruders that weren't Jinchuuriki or her old schoolmates.

They went out into the forest and walked for about a mile before coming to a place where the dirt path turned into a cement path which signaled the boundary of the town and the forest path to her home.

They walked about four blocks before Beast stopped in front of a restaurant. She said, "This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. Come on, let's go in. It's got everything from rice to fish to meat to fruits to-"

"-Enough already!" the group yelled out in exasperation. "We get it! It has practically everything that you could eat in this place! Let's go in before we attract a crowd."

The group was about to walk in before a group of eight boys led by a red-haired woman, who looked too young to be a coach, stopped them and looked at them. The red-haired woman looked over the group before landing her eyes on Beast. She widened her eyes and motioned for her group, dressed in blue and grey shirts with white shorts to match. The group of boys walked over to her and looked at what she was staring at before widening her eyes as well. They all whispered one question, "Is that really you?"
