GAARA'S P.O.V

I glared at the young girl before me. She showed up out of nowhere and seems to be unaffected by me.

'Most people who see me cower in fear, she doesn't. Why is that?'

'Because she doesn't know you. She's not from around here, look. She has no headband.'

Shukaku pointed out and I realized he was right.

'But if she isn't a ninja, then what is she?'

'Someone who's in the way. Destroy her.'

Shukaku said, his bloodlust coming through and awakening my own. The fact that she was able to dodge my attacks so easily was impressive, but the fact that she said she wasn't being serious pissed me off.

I sent my sand after her and she dodged it yet again, but I wasn't aiming for her. I let my sand fall to the ground around her, covering the entire floor. When she landed I moved it to grab her foot, but just as it surrounded her ankle she was gone. There was a collective gasp from the ninja watching, but I just looked around for her. She seemed to have disappeared. Suddenly I was forced forward and I heard a laugh. I turned around to see her sitting on the rail behind me, far away from my sand.

"I'm not that stupid kid, I know when someone's trying to distract me so they can get a sneak attack in."

She said in a soft voice and I narrowed my eyes at her.

'She really doesn't know who I am.'

'Then show her. Make her cower in fear and cry out in pain as you slowly kill her. Show no mercy.'

I smiled inwardly, Shukaku was being overly bloodthirsty today. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy killing people. Everyone saw me as a monster, so why not be one. If I didn't kill them they'd kill me. This girl was no different, and once she realized what I was she'd react just like the others.

"Oh but you are stupid. You're stupid for interrupting my fight."

I said before grabbing one of my kunai and throwing it towards the girl. I wrapped it in sand, and hardened it around it making it even more deadly.

The girl just sat there and stared at the sand encased kunai coming straight for her, then she reached out a hand and grabbed it through my sand. I tightened my sand around her hand and her hand was cut from the blade of my kunai, but she didn't cry out or whimper, she didn't even bat an eye. She simply threw the kunai from her now broken left hand to her right with the one she took from that Sasuke kid. She spun them both on individual fingers while smiling at me.

"Is that the best you got kid? Cuz trust me, I've been through worse."

She said before disappearing.

'Who is this girl?'

I wondered as I looked around the arena for her, but saw no signs of her.

'She is a host to a spirit.'

'What?'

I asked surprised that I wasn't able to sense it.

'It's in her blood. She is the host to a fox spirit just like that Naruto child.'

Shukaku said and I could tell he was right. I sensed it in her blood now that it was mixed with my sand.

"You mind clearing up the floor kid? I don't like fighting like this."

The girl asked and I looked up to see she was sitting on the railing again. I smirked at her and shifted the sand on the floor to clear a small spot for her.

"Think you can fight me from just there?"

I asked and she smiled at me before jumping down and landing in a crouch on the cleared spot on the floor. I noticed she held a kunai in each hand.

'She's a fast healer, this might actually be interesting.'

I thought with a smirk as I prepared to fight her seriously.

RIN'S P.O.V

I'm not going to lie, when his sand broke my hand it hurt like a bitch, but I'm not a weakling and I am not going to show weakness in front of an enemy. Especially not one this fun.

'Kitsana, what do you say we have some fun?'

I asked as I looked around at the ninja watching.

'Are you sure little one?'

She asked and I smiled.

'Absolutely, they'll find out sooner or later. And besides, it seems like they already have one host in their midst.'

I said and saw her nod before she gave me full access to our stored power. I flared my aura out and saw the kid with the red hair take a step back. I smiled before letting my power cover my body and felt myself transform a little. My nails and teeth grew and my face split opened across my cheeks to form lines that looked like whiskers. I growled playfully at the red haired kid before vanishing from his and everyone else's sight. I pushed off from the railing and hurdled myself at the red haired kid. His sand acted automatically like it had when I'd kicked him, but I easily broke through it with my aura and punched him square in the side of the face. He stumbled back and I swept out with my feet, he lost his footing and started to fall but then his sand came up from below him and he kicked off from it and landed behind me.

I spun around just as his fist collided with my face. I felt blood pool in my mouth and spat it out. I wiped my mouth and smiled at the kid before me.

"Not bad, but now it's my turn."

I said before focusing my aura into my hands and feet to increase my speed and using my genko to my advantage I got behind him and knocked him forward, before jumping over him and punching him in the gut. His sand tried to protect him, but it didn't work. He shot out hit hand and grabbed my wrist. I froze at the fact he could actually keep up with me before bringing my leg up and knocking him back. He went flying across the room and crashed into the wall and I landed on the ground. The impact knocked the air from my lungs.

I felt the softness of the sand below me and my eyes widened as I tried to get up, but I was too late. It wrapped around me, leaving only my upper half exposed. The sand carried me through the air until I was right in front of the red haired kid. He was glaring at me and I just smiled at him.

"What? You can't tell me you're not having fun."

I said and he froze for a moment and in that moment I not only got my answer, but my chance to get free. I flared out little more than half my aura and the sand flew out in every direction. I fell to the ground in a crouch and sprinted forward until I was right in front of the red haired kid.

"It was nice playing with you, but I think the crowd's had enough."

I said before roundhouse kicking him to the ground. He landed on his back and sat up, rubbing his cheek as he stared at me in wonder. The entire room was silent, you could hear every grain of the red haired kid's sand move in perfect clarity. I jumped towards the railing again, but something grabbed my ankle. I turned to see it was the red haired kid's sand. It tightened around my ankle and I couldn't help but whimper at the bones snapped at an odd angle and tore through the skin. I looked up at the kid and saw he had a smile on his face. I glared at him and threw his dagger back at him with a flick of my wrist. I surrounded it with my aura, increasing it's speed. It tore through the air, and his shoulder and pinned him to the wall across from me.

I used my genko and appeared next to the kid with the blue-black hair. I held out his dagger to him and he took it from me with a silent shocked expression on his face.

"Rin!"

A voice called out from the third level. I looked up to see Kakashi looking down at me in surprise. I smiled at him before using genko to appear next to him and Sarutobi. I landed on my feet wrong, putting my weight on my now broken ankle and I fell forward. Sarutobi caught me and supported my weight.

"You shouldn't be so reckless child. That sand ninja could have killed you, he is the host of a very dangerous sand spirit."

He said and I smiled.

"And you know I'm the host to a spirit too don't you Sabi? Do you know what kind?"

I asked and he sighed before he started to help me out of the building.

"It's just like that kid with the yellow-orange hair."

I said with a grimace as we walked down the street. Kakashi and a few other ANBU following.

"You are the host to another nine-tailed fox spirit?"

Sarutobi asked in surprise and I shook my head.

"No, just two tailed."

I said through clenched teeth as he helped me sit on his desk.

"Well it would seem like you have excellent control over it."

He said as he knelt down in front of me.

"I wouldn't say that."

I said coldly as I remembered waking up covered in my friend's blood. My eyes watered as I remembered it. There really was no denying it, what else could have happened? There were no other demons around other than me, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kilala, and Shippo. Sesshomaru had more control than anyone I know, Shippo was too small to do that kind of damage, and Kilala was too kind. Inuyasha was lost to his demon, but I remember killing him. I gave in to my demon, everything went black, and I wake up covered in their blood. There's no other explanation, I had to have killed them.

The tears brimming up around my eyes fell down my cheeks and I couldn't do anything to stop them. I killed them. The man who save my life, took me in and took care of me. The woman he loved who was so kind to me, the other fox demon who loved to play with me. The monk and demon slayer who were so patient with me whenever I got something wrong, and the cat demon that helped me practice in my fox form. I'd killed them all in cold blood.

Flashes of blood, screams, and pleas flooded my mind. I watched myself in my true fox form slaughter my friends despite their pleas for me to stop.

"Rin! Rin! RIN!"

I snapped out of it and looked up to see Sarutobi and Kakashi looking at me worriedly. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes and shook my head trying to get rid of the memories I now had of what happened to my loved ones.

"I'm fine. It just hurts more than I thought it would."

I said and they nodded thinking I was talking about my ankle, though it did hurt it was nothing compared to the pain I felt now that I knew I what had really happened.

'Kitsana, why? Why didn't you stop me?'

I asked and heard her sigh.

'To be honest little one I couldn't help myself. That was the first time I'd had a taste of another demon's blood and I was lost to my hunger and thirst for blood. Most of the time I can control it, but I couldn't that time. I am sorry little one, truly I am.'

Kitsana said and I sighed. I could tell she was being sincere, but that didn't undo what was done.

'That is never going to happen again. We will train until we have complete control.'

I said and she nodded. That was not going to happen again, I was going to make sure of that.
