"Wha? Were am I?" I was sitting in a dark corridor. The floor was flooded, snakes swam in the water. "gross!" I yelled, I brushed the snakes that had stayed on my legs off. But I wasn't wet. "Weird..." I muttered. I saw a light near the end if the corridor. I went to it, it was so dark, I kept bumping into the wet walls. I came to the end and found a large stone room with a cage taking up one of the big walls. An eye opened. It was bigger than me. Then a second eye opened. The eyes narrowed at me. "Hello." I said quietly.

"is that you kit?" a deep scratchy voice said. My eyes adjusted to the darkness of the cage it was a large red fox with nine tales. It looked sick.

"Are you okay?" I asked walking up to the cage. The fox coughed which sent me falling to the ground.

"Not in the least." The fox sneered at me.

"Well? What's wrong?" I asked, a bit annoyed by his attitude.

"It's these snakes." He growled flicking some with his claw. "They contaminate the water." I looked down. The little snakes were all over the place. They kept crawling up my legs. I brushed them away. Seeing the fox's condition it was obvious they were poisonous.

"What am I supposed to do?" I asked brushing off more. The Fox watched me flicking and scooping the snakes of my body and blew out some chakra. It flew under me and lifted me out of the water. The snakes burned at the chakra's contact.

"You can start by staying away from the water kit." he growled. I sat down and looked at him.

"Who are you anyway? I've never ever seen a fox like you before." I said. The fox sighed and coughed again.

"I'm the Nine Tailed Fox." he said. My eyes widened.

"Your the Kyuubi!? What are you doing here!? Where is here?" I asked looking around. The fox growled.

"Were in YOU Kit."he said annoyed.

"What!? Your in me?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah. And you went and let these damn snakes be a part of you as well." The Kyuubi growled.

"I'm sorry Kyuu-kun. I didn't know..." I sighed

"Don't call me that! It's degrading." he snapped

"I'm so sorry Kyuu-kun!" I smiled evilly at his nick name.

"If I could kill you..." Kyuu-kun trailed off. Then he coughed again. This time, his chakra keeping me up dissipated. I fell head first into the snaky water below. "Kit!" I heard him yell. But I had fallen deep into the water. I didn't think it was this deep. I couldn't hold my breath anymore and let it out. But I didn't drown. I simply fell into a field. There was a sacrificial crib like stone in the middle. I walked over to it. It said 'Naruko' on the top. There was something that looked like dried blood in the stones around it. I felt an uneasiness inside me while I stood in the area.

"Hello! Welcome Naruko-chan!" A creepy voice sounded. I looked around and saw a man who resembled a snake. He was very tall, compared to me, and had long black hair, all around his eyes were purple and his skin was white as paper.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Orochimaru." He smiled at me.

"Orochimaru?" I said trying to remember where I had heard that name before. Orochimaru walked over to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, leading me to stand on the stones. The he lowered himself so he could face me. He whispered menacingly.

"How dose it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parents blood?" he asked. My eyes widened. But all my feelings wouldn't come out. "Do you feel sad?" he asked. I shook my head. "Full of rage?" he asked again. I shook my head once more. Not finding the words to speak. "So... The Kyuubi help's bury your feeling." he said standing up. "Hiding your true self." he said rubbing my head and smiling. "What a truly extraordinary person..." he said examining me. "I look forward to controlling you." he said before waving and walking away. It left me standing on the stones.

"I never knew my parents... But they died here huh?" I said aloud. I felt a tear run down my face.

I woke up. Jetting up in bed. I was sweating and breathing hard.

"What a scary dream..." I said, hoping it was just that. I couldn't get back to sleep after that. I had always had this problem when I was a kid. I would have a nightmare and not be able to sleep all night. I used to hear about kids who would go to sleep with there parents in situations like these. I never had this opportunity. I sighed and stood up. Not knowing where I was going to go. I found myself walking across the hall. I opened the door and walked over to where Kakashi was sleeping. "Hey. Kakashi-sensei." I said kicking him. He opened his eye and looked up at me.

"What?" he asked sitting up. I told him about my dream, leaving out the part about Orochimaru, I DID NOT want to relive that. "Oh. I'm sorry to say that wasn't a dream." he said rubbing my head.

"Oh..." I said. I couldn't tell him I couldn't sleep. I was kind of embarrassed.

"You can't sleep can you?" Kakashi chuckled. HOW DID HE KNOW!? I looked down, and nodded. He motioned over to where Sasuke was laying. I stood up and walked over. Pushing Sasuke over I laid down and pulled the blanket over me, it was a one person blanket, so I had to press my back against his. I fell asleep after a while.

The next morning I woke up with a face full of Sasuke. I never dubbed him as a cuddly sleeper. But here he was with his arms tightly around my waist. My head was pressed against his chest. It was to warm, I was uncomfortable. I pushed against him and his grip tightened. I struggled some but he seemed to be even stronger when he was asleep. I turned my head to see Kakashi smiling in amusement.

"Help me out here!" I growled at him but he shook his head. I frowned and pushed against Sasuke's chest again. "Hey Sasuke-teme! Let go!" I said pounding his back so he would wake up. "Damn, you sleep like a rock." I muttered when he simply pulled me closer. I had no more room to push him away and was forced against him. I felt an annoyed look cross my face. It wasn't strange. THIS was REALLY ANNOYING! "Let go! Teme! Your crushing me!" I yelled angrily. Nothing. Kakashi was laughing now.

"Well don't you look comfortable!" Kakashi said standing over us.

"Shut up! Help Kakashi-sensei! He's crushing me!" I yelled up at him. Kakashi chuckled and conked Sasuke in the head. Sasuke grumbled and opened his eyes slightly. I met him with an angry glare. Sasuke suddenly released me and turned away.

"Sorry..." he muttered. I stood and brushed off my night clothes.

"Breakfast!" Tsuname called up.

"Food!" I yelled rushing out the room and heading down the stairs. I sat at the table and Sakura yawned.

"Where'd you go last night? You weren't in our room this morning." she inquired. I glanced up.

"I had a bad dram and couldn't get back to sleep. Kakashi-sensei said to sleep in Sasuke's bed." I shrugged. Sakura giggled. What was here problem? "What?" I asked.

"Nothing." Sakura said before eating again.

"You're weird sometimes." I yawned before shoving my face with food.
