Once long, long ago, there was a man by the name Hogito Kisai. Hogito was a naturally talented ninja of great strength and unbelievable intelligence, he had honor and followers as loyal as any great leader could ask for, and the trust of many great and powerful lords. But like so many before him, his power only made him crave more power. Ignoring the warnings of his wise elders Hogito began to meddle in forbidden jutsu about the after life. As his insanity for power grew his followers loyalty began to waver until soon Hogito was on his own. Not a single man nor woman was left to obey him, and all his honor had been taken for his illegal meddling. And yet Hogito still plunged forward, craving the power that would make him unstoppable.

On one storming night Hogito stood alone in a barren field, a crazed smile adorned his face, and scroll clench tightly in his right hand. Thunder boomed and lightening cracked as dark ominous clouds sent brutal cold rain down to the earth. Finally Hogito saw what he had been waiting for, a large clap of thunder struck a mere 10 yards away. He smiled the smile of a mad man and open the scroll, placing it on the ground before him, the scroll read;

ﾔﾌnﾌﾎkﾎﾐlﾌｫﾌﾌｪ

Demons of hell's fire. Give me power. Fulfill my every desire.

"Quickly now" He muttered to himself. Hogito bit his thumb until it bled and then drew a crimson line down the soaked scroll. The crimson bled across the paper as Hogito cried to the heavens:

I crave power and that alone.
I care not for loyalty and trust.
Only power to destroy.
Give me power and in return,
I shall heed one request.
Oh Lord of the lowest,
Oh Lord of the dead,
Give me power!

Then lightening cracked once more this time striking the scroll, setting it aflame. Then fire raged even in the torrential downpour and slowly it turned black. The black flames engulfed Hogito and then sunk slowly into the ground carrying him with them until nothing was left above.

Nothing. Where ever Hogito was or wasn't that was what it was, nothing. There was no color, it wasn't black or white, nor gray, there wasn't any feel or sound either. Hogito opened his mouth but no oxygen came. His lungs burned and body craved it but there was no air, and yet sweet unconsciousness would not over come him.

"Welcome" A voice boomed. Hogito looked frantically up to see a man, he stood, no floated?, well he was in front of him, and yet something was off.

"Where am I?" Hogito said, and yet though he talked no oxygen filled his lungs, every word was painful.

"You are in Nothingness, the land of the dead, this is where those who are lower than Hell dwellers are sent to spend eternity. In forever nothingness. I am Takro, the Lord of this land." Takro smirked, "My minions are scum, demons, who became o powerful that they turned beyond evil, the are worse than the lowest of low you might say. We crave two things, power and blood, but in Nothingness, you can achieve neither, so I see no reason why you, mortal, are here."

This was perfect, Hogito became to crazed to notice the burning pain any longer, "I will make you a proposal. I will allow you and your minions access to the living world once more, on return for power." Takro smiled, he liked this, "Any of my descendants at birth, if you believe have any power, will take on one of your minions as their host, in return for using there power whenever they summon you." Takro smirked.

"You are a crazed one, but I see no better offer, I accept, but" Takro's smile grew more sinister "My minions when summoned will be more powerful than their host, the will have complete dominance, even if the host dies, us tenma, will just return back to Nothingness."

"Power" Hogito said, eye's glinting "Is worth it."

"Very well, Junai!" Another tenma appeared, this one looked worn and sinister, "This is your host." Junai quietly glided to Hogito and reached his pale hand into his chest. This chill was almost as painful as the nothingness. There was a cackle of laughter and then blackness as unconsciousness swept over Hogito.

And so Junai lived within Hogito, but it wasn't long before the insane called upon the demon for his power. Junai was released, and just as Takro had warned, overpowered Hogito, fusing their bodies. Hogito was lost and the bloodthirsty, power mad Junai Myamichi came to be alive once more. It was he who started the Myamichi clan, almost all of whom hosted a demon, or tenma, of Nothingness.

The tenma are the 'gift' of the Myamichi clan, the source of their ultimate power, and the evil that plagues all of their minds.

A young man by the name of Pein stared happily at the scroll in front of him. He had just finished reading one of his favorite stories of late. The short tale of the beginning of the Myamichi clan. "And now" He thought,"with my own Myamichi, conquering the world will be hat much easier. Kira Myamichi is the ticket to my utopia, my evil free world. She will be my golden trophy. There is no man alive tat can stop the power of a tenma, only those who host one. I would like to see how this young girl survives. It won't be long before she sets him free, no it won't be long."

He laughed maniacally and extinguished the candle by his desk. No it won't be long now.

"Ino don't you think you're overreacting? I mean this is the thirteenth time you've dumped Kiba in the six months" Hinata asked as Ino ranted on and on to her and TenTen about what a horrible boyfriend Kiba was. She had just dumped him, again, surprise surprise. It was eleven o'clock at night and though Ino was wide awake, her two best friends were dead tired, for two completely different reasons.

"Overreacting! He was cheating on me! I saw it with my own eyes, so older slut. He was all over her hugging her and everything, right out in public! As if he thought I wouldn't see!" She screamed, an hour earlier Ino had barged into TenTen's apartment crying hysterically about her cheating mutt of a boyfriend. TenTen in turn called Hinata and they'd been listening to her since, waiting for her to calm down. "Besides, I loved him and he just used me!"

"I get what you're saying, if Neji did that to me, I'd murder him." TenTen said viciously, her eyes growing firey. She'd been really emotional lately.

Hinata glared at her, she wasn't helping the situation, "Don't give her any ideas!" She hissed under her breath, they did not need a homicidal Ino on their hands.

"What did he say when you confronted him?" Hinata asked tentatively, hoping Ino wouldn't explode as she often did. "God I wish Sakura was still here, she could handle Ino better than anybody. She would scream insults and send Ino back to Kiba telling her not to be stupid and that Kiba loved her more than anyone else. But Sakura's gone, I hope that she is really okay."Hinata took a deep breath and pushed back the tears threatening to fall.

What happened was a shock to both girls, Ino stayed quiet for a moment. And then she said, "Does it matter?" Very quietly. They had not, in the least expected that reaction. More like anguished tears, furious yelling, malicious laughter something along those lines of Ino's extreme emotions.

"It might" TenTen said, always nosey. Hinata nodded a little too eagerly as well. The fact that Ino hadn't gone into a detailed rant, piece by piece recount, of Kiba yelling, begging, crying, even not caring was strange. That was so not Ino like.

"Well he didn't really say anything." Ino said looking down sheepishly.

"What!!" Both girls yelled, Ino wasn't saying something. Kiba was like the guy version of Ino. He was loud, obnoxious, vain, and short tempered, that's exactly why they were perfect for each other. But when it came to Ino strangely enough Kiba was just like a puppy dog, and without her he was completely and utterly lost. Every time Ino threatened to dump him Kiba pretty much cried got on his knees and begged for forgiveness, even though most of the time the he hadn't done a single thing wrong.

Hinata recovered then said, "What do you mean? Kiba's nuts about you, Ino! He wouldn't not say anything at the cost of losing you, that's just not possible!"

Tenten agreed "That's right Ino" she said, "There's something you aren't telling us. Come on isn't like that and you know it! Spill it Ino, we're your best friends tell us what really happened!"

"Uh well, um." Ino stuttered and blushed, she refused to look either of her friends in the eye, "You see, uh, when I saw him..."

Flash

"Kiba!" Ino cried furiously as she saw her boyfriend walking happily in the park. "Of course he's happy, he's two timing me! The bastard, how dare he! I'll murder him, wipe that smug grin right off his good for nothing face!"

"Hey Ino, what's up?" Kiba said contently reaching a hand towards her waist. He was clueless.

Ino slapped his hand away angrily. "The filthy two timer, thinking he can play me like some clueless idiot, thinking that he'll get action twice in one day! To think I actually cared for him, he betrayed me, the son of a bitch! I hate him!"She lost it them, Ino was officially pissed off, and poor Kiba never saw it coming, "Do you honestly think you can touch me!? You filthy back stabber! We are over! I never want to see, hear, and definitely not smell you ever again!" She screamed.

Kiba looked lost. Akamaru sat cowering in fear at Kiba's feet, praying that Ino didn't see him."What?"

"How dare he play innocent! Lie right to my face! The dog! I'll kill him. What did I ever see in him!? Why do I love this playing mutt? Oh he'll pay, he'll pay for the rest of his life." Ino grew even angrier, "Bastard! Don't deny it! It's over"

"Ino what are you-" Ino punched him as hard as she could and Kiba flew backwards unconscious.

End Flash

"Oh God Ino, you knocked him unconscious!" Tenten yelled, imagining Kiba waking up in utter confusion, wondering why the girl he loved had socked him, knocking him out. "Poor Kiba!"

"Poor Kiba, he's the one who was cheating on me! He deserved it!" Ino cried disgusted, feeling betrayed.

"He couldn't even defend himself, you went way overboard! He should have had the chance to explain, he loves you Ino, trust him! He has a right to give his say!" Tenten screamed, officially pissed.

"His say! Says the girl who hasn't told her boyfriend that she may be knocked up. When are you planning on telling Neji about the baby Tenten? I mean, I assume it is Neji's after all, unless there's someone Neji doesn't know about!" Ino yelled back, but stopped suddenly.

"Ino!" Hinata hissed and Tenten dropped suddenly on her sofa, looking pale and tired all of a sudden, "You crossed the line!"

"Well, I, she and the, we were, um, oh God," Ino stuttered ashamed of herself "Oh Tenten I'm soooo sorry, I am such a bitch. Please forgive me!" Ino cried, she felt truly horrible.

Tenten smiled unconvincingly and said meekly, "It's okay I know you didn't mean it, you're upset, I understand. Besides I should tell Neji, I will, soon." Ino and Hinata looked at her worriedly but said nothing. "I need to tell him, right? I may not even be pregnant, he'll never need to know." "But will Neji still love me?"

"But Tenten if you are pregnant he'll find out on his own won't he?" Ino asked suddenly.

"What!? No! What do you mean?!" Tenten cried panic stricken, Ino wouldn't tell him would she?

"His Byakugan, well with it he could, well you know, see it, the baby." Ino muttered, refusing to look Tenten in the eye.

"No! He, I mean I, well we are, and it isn't but! Hinata!?" Tenten screeched, the idea of the Byakugun seeing the baby had never crossed her mind, but now it was so obvious. She is Neji's teammate and girlfriend, how had she not thought oh this!?

"It's true, Neji would be able to see the baby's chakra no matter what you try to do to hide it." Tenten paled immensely and Hinata hurried to comfort her, "But why would he use his Byakugun on you anyways?!"

"Sparring..." Tenten muttered tears welling in her eyes.

"If you are pregnant no way would you be doing missions and sparring matches." Ino mumbled harshly, Tenten looked up shocked.

A knocking on the door distracted them. "Who is it? And if it's Kiba hit the road mutt boy!" Ino yelled her anger coming back as quickly as it had disappeared. Hinata shook her head sighing, same old Ino.

"It's Shikamaru, Ino I need to talk to you." Ino stared blankly at the door, why the hell was Shikamaru here, Temari wasn't in town, was she? Was there an emergency, a mission? Ino looked over to her two friends but both had looks of utter confusion on their faces.

"Now." Tenten shrugged and waved her hand, indicating that it was fine to let the shadow ninja in.

"Uh okay," Ino opened the door and looked confusedly at her teammate.

Shikamaru looked the worse for ware. His clothes were slightly ripped and he stank of alcohol. One of his cheeks was starting to show the signs of being pretty badly bruised. But he looked determined and very well pissed off.

"Ino you need to talk to Kiba." He said almost immediately.

"What no way! He cheated on me, we're over. Besides he probably doesn't even care."

"God, you troublesome woman. Ino if he did cheat on you then why did he get stone cold drunk come to my apartment and throw a tantrum about the fact that you dumped him even though he loves you more than anything else in the world."

"What?" Ino gaped. "Did Kiba really do that? Is he really that upset? Does he really love me that much?" Ino's heart seemed to lighten some.

"Ino what did the girl Kiba was with look like?" Shikamaru asked. Ino's heart darkened again, jealousy and anger overpowering her.

"She had to be in her twenties," Ino muttered, and sneered, "Wild brown hair, face paint, she had strange eyes too. Leave it to Kiba to go after an old ugly hag, why did I ever bother with him?" Ino said darkly, and she described the girl as best as she could.

"God Ino, you really are pathetic, troublesome woman. There's no doubt it was Hana. What a drag." Shikamaru said annoyed, once she had finished her description.

"A slut's name." She muttered.

"Hana is Kiba's-"

"Ex-girlfriend? Crush? Stalker? Childhood sweetheart? Long lost lover?" Ino put in darkly, jealousy obvious as she muttered. Shikamaru groaned and swore under his breath.

"Older sister." Shikamaru said flatly. "I doubt that Kiba was cheating on you with her."

Hinata sweat dropped, "Ino you've been dating Kiba for nearly six months and you've never met his sister?"

"Well I-"

"Ino don't bother just go and make up with the poor guy." Tenten said, shaking her head, ashamed of her friend's idiocy.

"Uh, well, um, yeah where is he." Ino muttered blushing a deep red.

"Well I" Shikamaru shrugged slightly embarrassed. "I had to tie him to a tree outside my apartment so he wouldn't hurt anyone, it was so troublesome."

"Yeah I'll go take care of him," Was all Ino said as she took off to yell at Kiba for being so stupid as to get dunk even though it was technically her fault, but that was what she did, and Kiba would always yell right back at her and then they would make up, with a make out session, it was anything but a healthy relationship.

"I can't believe that in six months Ino's found thirteen ridiculous reasons to break up with Kiba." Hinata said sighing.

"I can't believe he keeps taking her back." Tenten agreed.

"Troublesome" Was all Shikamaru muttered

"Is that all you say, what does Temari see in you!" Tenten growled annoyed. He shrugged before leaving no doubt to go sleep on a hill somewhere.

"I can't believe I never got a chance to use that black mail. What a waste of perfectly good information!" Kisame groaned. For the past two hours Itachi, Sakura, Tobi, and Deidara, had listened to Kisame bitch and moan about the fact that his juicy bit of gossip on Itachi was now totally useless. Well actually Itachi and Sakura had yet to stop making out, "Stupid teenagers with their damn hormones," so only Tobi and Deidara had had to listen to the annoying pestering of a slightly, more like completely, drunk Kisame. But Tobi was a total moron and was engrossed with giving all ten of his toes the perfect names. In two hours he'd named three, his left middle toe Carl, his right second toe Heidi, and unfortunately and to much complaint on his part the right big toe, Deidara. And so it was left to Deidara alone to listen and restrain the ranting raving drunken shark man. "God kill me now." He thought for the hundredth time, well he actually said it out loud by accident, causing Kisame o turn his full attention to him.

"Wha? What yo sayin 'bout me blond air guy?" Kisame asked drunken swaying slightly in his stupor. He giggled, yes giggled, take a moment to savor that image, and swung an arm heavily around Deidara's shoulders. Deidara growled.

Annoyance raged deep within him, mixing with his fury jealousy, what came up was white hot rage, he was tired of all of it, of being used and bossed around, of Kisame's drunken ways, Tobi's idiocy, and most of all, tired of always losing to perfect Itachi, the Uchiha prodigy gone bad. And now he had to watch as Itachi stole away the girl of his dreams, watch Itachi win another trophy, one he'd use then throw to the side, it was about time Deidara stopped lying down and letting Itachi win, and start fighting for what he wanted.

"Will you to stop making out! It's disgusting!" He screamed.

"Uh Deidara what the hell are you fucking talking about?" Kira asked from her she sat from across the table. For the last ten minutes Deidara had been mumbling to himself. After Tobi had interrupted her and Itachi's, cough, conversation, cough, cough, Itachi and Kisame had left calmly and infuriatingly silently on a mission, they would be back by tonight, and Deidara had simply marched inside raided Kisame's private cupboard and had drank so much it would be kind of scary of it weren't so hilariously funny. After is third shot, eighth beer, second bottle of rum mixed with bourbon, and a mug of vodka Deidara had started to stare blankly at the table muttering thing with drunken fury, until he finally exclaimed, "Bill you not wakin bout. Kira hot!"

"You erd me! Hot hot!" He screamed enraged. He pushed back from the table forcefully and stood in a fashion that would have been dramatic if he hadn't been so drunk. In the overall outcome he fell backwards with his chair, landing in a heap on the floor and broke out in a fit of incessant giggles.

"What a man." Kira mumbled as she walked around the table to where Deidara lay. He continued to giggle hysterically. "But at least you talk."
