Chapter 3

Very loud voices... how annoying... am I dead? If I am, then have I gone to the bad place... maybe... with the blood of a megalomaniac running through my veins I'd be surprised if I wasn't a ghost bound to the land... No.. Im not dead and these voices... well one of them... sounds familiar...


"Dobe," murmured a voice. "Dobe, wake up.." I realise this is Sasuke speaking and I begin to worry. Who is this 'dobe' person? A flash of a memory hits me and I sigh. Ah, that was the... Wait! Hah! I knew it... I knew he hadn't killed his friend. No, way. "What is it, teme!?!" growled someone. I blearily open my eyes. I feel it now... the hard ground upon my back. I turn my head to the side. It seems that they haven't noticed me. Too busy glaring at each other. I am unsure as to what to say until I see the amusement behind the brotherly banter. "I...told you...so," I frowned at the hoarseness in my voice. It sounds weak and scratchy. Just what in the world is wrong with me. Oh, yeah... forgot that tends to happen when you don't use your voice... for ... a... while. I frown in thought... "How long have I been..." Here I clear my throat.."out?"
Sasuke stares at me in amusement before giving me a scowl. "You have been out for two days, we decided to take a break, we are camping here..." He gestured around them. "And, I know you told me so," I smile at him before giving him a mock hurt look. "How could you have ever doubted my ALL KNOWING GREATNESS..." I cough. So I feel like being a kid. So I wasnt a 'normal' kid... who cared? "I don't know..." I stared at him before noticing Naruto give us odd looks. I cock my head to the side as I looked him over. I paused when my eyes landed on his stomach. Though he had on black baggy pants, a fishnet shirt with a tanktop under it, and, for some unfathomable reason, an orange obi around his waist, I could sense something strange coming from that area. At some point, I realised I had changed shape, and my eyes were red... crimson, as I stared at the point on his stomach. He seemed nervous, I don't think my eyes are just crimson. "Your eyes... the 'x' in the crimson is twisting in violet rivulets," ah, I understand now... My chakara could not completely heal my eye... I blink returning my eyes back to normal. As we began to travel again he continued to watch my every move. I frown at this, though to many I suppose the slight downturn of my lips is not noticeable. "Who are you?" the blond asks suddenly, as if it never crossed his mind, I doubt it hadn't considering his many stares. "Kazuo," I say simply. I look at him... I was going to go further when Sasuke spoke up. "She was a servant to Orochimaru, his demon, and 'body' guard..." I glare at Sasuke for a moment before nodding. I realise that I can't really be here, I have to leave them. I am a target for Orochimaru. I can't stay and allow them to come to harm.

You can't escape... I'll be in the shadows...

He will follow me, I have to keep them safe. Must keep them safe. "I'll keep watch tonight," I say softly. They stare at me as if I'd said 'give me green tights, a bow an arrow, a forest green tutu and call me Robin Hood'. Either that or the usual, 'grown another head'. I laugh. Surely they dont think me incapable of doing this simple task. I sigh in amusement, no need to look annoyed. "Hn." was all Sasuke said. I scowl at him. "You know at some point I will have to teach you a more appropriate form of speach." I say this and the 'dobe' person laughs. Really, I haven't been paying much attention.. what was his name again? Ah, right... at some point I remember Sasuke whispering something or other... hmm... no matter, I'm not going to be here long any way. I sit and wait patiently. Sasuke is asleep. He trusts me. That may be fatal... Ok, not really but still. I lean back against the bark of a nearby tree and I wait. Though I am curious about Sasuke's choice of friends I can't say I have a right to judge. The blonde boy is slowly drifting off to sleep. Hn, He's trying too hard to stay awake. Hn... I can't believe I just said 'Hn...' Sasuke is really rubbing off on me... Im not so sure that is a good thing. I open my eyes once I notice the blonds breathing pattern has changed. I look up, finally, he's asleep. I stand soundlessly. I run away from the camp but I am sure to also go the opposite way of Orochimarus' lair. Teheehee... lair... I don't know why saying that makes me laugh. Maybe its the fact that I said 'Orochimaru' and 'lair' in the same sentence. I really have an issue with this. I tense. There is someone directly in front of me. I was sure that I had gone a good distance away from the camp sight. I see... its the blond. "How?" I say emotionlessly. I feel cold. "You don't have to go back," was all he said. I decide to change the conversations path. "Why do I sense a demonic aura about you?" He stares at me. I just look boredly back. I'm sure my eyes are flashing from crimson to violet as I see his aura perfectly. I see his chakara as it is but there was a second chakara inside of his belly... Well, If I look close enough I see that thin threads of that second chakara is running through his body along with his blue. He was shining... I'll call it red... yeah, thats what I'll call the chakara... I'll call it red. "You really a demon?" he asked. I nod. Before inclining my head towards him, and raising an eyebrow. "No, well... yeah and no. I'm supposedly the carrier for a... demon, but I think I am really the human form of the demon... Im not sure..." I stare at him. I then walk towards him... "Want me to find out?" I know it is risky. But I am curious. I can sense a demonic aura that is familiar and yet not as I put a hand to his belly. My eyes widen and I am unaware that they turn pure white. This disturbs me....

What is this... where am I... I see nothing, it is dark... a booming voice brings my attention to the space behind me... I turn... I see firey red.. Im not afraid... hmmm...

"Who are you?" I ask...

"Who do you think?" was the answer I got as I stared at the creature in front of me. I see firey tails swirling behind a large fox with crimson eyes.

"Kyuubi..." I gasp.

"Good to see atleast one kit has intellegence...."

"You... you are... just... "

"Oops, I spoke too soon.."

"I'm now insulted... Anyway... what are you to me... a part of me feels familiarity towards you..."

"You have a bit of my genes in you... those annoying wastes of life called humans managed to get some of my blood..."

"I apologize... though I can't really say why I feel compelled to do so... wait... was it perhaps a snake man?"

"Yes..."

"Ah, that explains it then..."

"Hmm... Ah, yes... I smell his blood on you... interesting..."

"That is beside the point... I wasnt idle in my stay there... I learned things that he wasnt teaching me... research and such... I was wondering if you would like my help in merging completely with yourself... It will not change you drastically... you'll be able to shift from your human form to your fox form and vice versa... however, any information that you need... well... I believe you to be the base instincts you have the information, and experience, by merging you'll be able to... for lack of better words, share, information..."

"Finally, someone worth my time... Yes... and ignore the other personality trait..."

"Huh?"

"Just go... you'll see..."

I shrug before leaving his subconscious mind...

As I come back to myself I am not surprised to see the shocked look on the blonds face. "Well, umm... I guess I can merge your two personalities..." I say with an odd look upon my face... Or I assume that it is an odd look seeing as he's staring at me. "NO WAY!! Your eyes... they are still white... they haven't turned to your natural violet color." I ignore that comment as I am performing seals faster than the average jutsu seals... there was a specific speed that I had to maintain. "Convergence jutsu" I murmur as I slam my palm into his stomach. He backs up coughing, Then he twitched ever so slightly. I don't notice the tattoo like spiral on my wrist as I watch another seal form on him... it was the kanji for my name, and the spiral was going around it. I gasp as I feel pain upon my wrist... I look to see a spiral... the sign of the Uzimaki clan. I cough, so umm... I was technically his family. Well, that wouldn't be so bad, to have a family... a real family...

You can't escape... I'll be in the shadows...

But this is, at the moment, the farthest thing from my mind. "So... uh... well..." Oh, yeah, I feel sooo much better. I can't even talk properly. This makes me feel somewhat bitter. "Kazuo..." I look up immediately. My attention focused solely on him. "I'm..." I see comprehension on his face as he notices my wrist. "Family..." I hear his whisper. He nods at me before walking back to camp... I follow without pause. I can be a child if I want... I realize this with a giddy-ness I had never felt before... I CAN be a child, or... I can be...well... I can finally be what I want...



You can't escape... I'll be in the shadows...

The thought crosses my mind and I curse myself for not remembering... for not keeping this in the forefront of my mind. "I can't come wi..." He looks at me... the look was one of a father scolding a child. "You are six years old... how I know this is inconsequential, You are coming with me and Sasuke to Konoha... understood..." I give him a look and he returns it... "Understood?" he repeats... "Understood" I say. I can't deny that it felt good to have a real parental figure... one who actually cares...but... can't he understand... Can't he see that I'm trying to protect Sasuke, and he... can't they understand what my intentions are? As if hearing my thoughts the boy turns towards me... "I will protect you... for now you should concentrate on being the child that I wish I had had the luxury to be... I can take care of myself and so can Sasuke, so you just be... you, not the I'm-An-Adult-Because-I've-Been-forced-to-grow-up you, but the I'm-a-kid-whose-slightly-more-mature-than-others-my-age you... because I'm sure that you can't erase every little detail of your life..."

I look at him in slight... surprise. "You don't look a day over fourteen... how can you protect me..." Not that I need protecting, and the thought that someone was willing to actually take care of me was amusing. But I suppose the thought that I could really be more of a kid... the prospect of actually enjoying the rest of my childhood... that was daunting... enticing even. "That is because I AM fourteen... I'll watch over you, I could... possibly adopt you when I turn sixteen... though technically you are already my daughter... I'll only be able to get the papers when I turn sixteen..." He sighed. I could just see the wheels turning in his head.

We make our way towards the campsight to see that Sasuke was awake and staring ahead. "I wondered when you two would be back.." I stared at him... He knew... "You knew?" I asked. He looked at me as if I had started to do the macarena and sing the star spangled banner, while wearing a large top hat and gogo boots.

Ok, I had to do something to cheer myself up... sheesh...

"What happened to your eyes?" he asked. I just stared blankly at him. "Don't change the subject..." I said. He smirked before saying "The weather sure is nice out here..." I did a double take... huh? since when were we talking about the weather... Ok... ummm... I think I'll just let it slide. But I won't be answering any questions about my eyes either. We continue in silence.

As we come closer to the looming gates of Konoha, I wonder if there will be people who recognize me as Orochimarus' off-spring. I wonder... Inwardly I am calm.. why is that... I should be nervous... were things going too fast... I hope not... I see Daddy blue eyes looking at the gates as if they were a large looming doom. Ok, so the analogy isn't the greatest. I can't help but think that I should be nervous. OoO, when did I start to call him daddy blue eyes... I shrug inwardly... doesn't matter. It felt kind of nice. Sasuke-niisan is looking paler than usual and I wonder... but I keep it to myself. For once, I really don't understand the others actions. How odd... I feel like, I'm coming home... am I going to bring an end to these people. Because I'm being selfish... I feel aweful... I should have died. But Im not nervous at all. This is an odd calm. A scary calm.. I think I'll ignore it. The gate is open and I see that we are now being led towards the hokage... hmm... I don't quite remember spacing out this much... it can't be healthy. Maybe I trust these two so much to the point that I ignore any and every thing except their presence. I sigh, I really shouldn't get attached. I'm going to have to get away, or I'll get them killed... He's going to come for me.. my death is to be by his hand. I have no allusions' nor do I have any doubt to that fact... Or is that basically the same thing. I'll leave... eventually... yeah, when I get stronger... Being six is not any different than being five is it?

We are standing before the Hokage. Sasuke had been sent home with an escort, and according to the hokage, will be on lock down or home arrest until she deemed him worthy to be a konoha citizen again and later his statis as a shinobi of the leaf will be restored. I merely watch this with bored eyes. I don't miss the look that the hokage is giving me. Does she know? "Naruto," the hokage's voice was stern. "You are to take a break, for three days time. After the three days are up, you are to report immediately here at this very time..." The look she was giving me was quite annoying.. I see Naruto tense. I grab his hand and give it a reassuring squeeze. He gives me a small smile and I nod at him. "Tsunade-baachan, can I possibly obtain citizenship for Kazuo, I would also like to enroll her into the academy..." The hokage stared at me and nodded. "Under what name?" She asked. I changed my hair color to white. As that was one of the colors in my genetic make-up. I allow my white eyes to turn an icy blue. Then I look back at the hokage. Holding up my wrist I speak in a soft and low emotionless voice. "Kazuo Uzimaki," I inwardly smirk at the shocked look on her face. She stared harder at me before narrowing her eyes. I took up the challenge and returned it with an even icier glare. "I am not a... danger to your citizens.. I am a danger to you.. but I will not cause them harm..." My reply cause daddy blue eyes to stare at me in annoyance. "I'll keep my... daughter... in line..." He said this... and I grinned. That sounded wonderful. It was music to my ears. "No need, I won't cause trouble" I say quietly.

On my second day there daddy blue eyes gave me a kunai and weapons holster and even though I didn't show it I was grateful. He had enrolled me into the academy. I was to go there in about five minutes. actually I was standing at the entrance. He was smiling softly. I gave him a small smile. He grinned. and we walked together into the academy. The students were already inside and we were standing at the entrance to the class room. "Class," said a man with a scar across his nose. "We have a new student..." He pause seemingly shocked as he looked down at the card. "Come in," He said. I look up at daddy blue eyes as I was feeling uncharacteristically nervous... or was it afraid... he nodded. So I walked forward. "Introduce yourself..." I felt very nervous as I looked at all the curious faces. I had never been one to come into the spotlight with so large an audience. I found myself fighting down a blush. I was successful, but my stomach was doing flipflops. I look towards the door to see my daddy...wow it felt good to say that... daddy, daddy, daddy... that was music.... I had a real caring daddy... Ok, let me stop. Daddy blue eyes was mouthing something to me. I could make out the words, 'leaving', and 'now'... even a slightly less obvious, 'I'll see you later..' I give an barely noticeable nod. "Go, on... introduce yourself..."
