Wait what?!!!

Haphazard [Part 14]

[Oh, I thought I'd never get to see you so soon Veronica.]

'W-wha-

No, this-

It can't be possible... How-'-Veronica

Veronica tried to calm herself seeing the two tails, Matatabi laying peacefully in her mindscape. She hadn't seen any marks of a seal all over her body so she didn't even think of a tailed beast residing in her body.

In the end she just sighed.

'So are you gonna tell me how this happened?'-Veronica

[You recovered quite quickly from your shock.]

'Yea well... I think it's safe to assume that I've just given up at this point. I've been reborn with unknown powers in a world full of monsters. I've seen traumatic people and so-called 'kind' people turn out to be not so kind. Not only that, there are literal monsters too and a 'god' who if succeeds will probably wipe out all of humanity. Dead people will be brought back from the dead to fight wars. I don't really know what will surprise me at this point.'

Sometimes you just have to be done. Not mad, not upset. Just done.

[Heh, you seem quite done with this world already.]

'Yup, so are you gonna answer my question? I hope you know that I'm also asking about Yugito Nii.'

[Well, as you know, our creator had sent me to live in a temple and later on I was sold to the Hidden Cloud village as a sign of friendship by Hashirama. I was to be sealed in Yugito but, they had spilt me in half, much like my sibling, and used this child's body as an experiment of sorts. The child's family had a unique kekkai genkai and they wanted to see the reaction with a tailed beast.

In the end the experiment almost ended up taking her life which freed me and I used that time to undo the seal on Yugito and free my other half. I was going to be sealed again in the child but you came in and possessed the body of this child.

I decided to reside in your body and hide my presence. Your soul had just taken the new body so you were still dead to the people. I'm sure you can guess what the situation is now.]

'I see, I'm guessing I had somehow been thrown in a river in all the chaos. Were you the one who used your power to save me from drowning or was that my power?'

[That was me Veronica.]

'You can just call me Vero-chan like Naruto and Kaka-san.

So what is my kekkai genkai? Also, I'm pretty sure you've been talking with your sibling all this time, correct?'

[Yes, that is correct Vero-chan. From your memories, it would've been a long time till I had a chance to see him again. I haven't informed him of your knowledge yet though. I thought to discuss this with you first before doing anything.

And your kekkai genkai, it allows you to form 'bonds' with souls. With enough chakra you can use them to become your ears and eyes. Not only that, you can even let them 'possess' your body for a while and see through their memories.]

'I see, I'm guessing that the child's family weren't big enough to be a clan and they all specialized in gathering information. For now, we'll discuss my Kekkai genkai later on. We have quite a lot of stuff to discuss about the future first. *Sigh* this is gonna be a pain...'

Veronica sat down and thought where to even begin with the two tailed beast in front of her. Even the tailed beast was very shocked at what they had found out from her memories and knew that if they wanted a better future for everyone then they needed to do something.

Just as they were about to say something, Matatabi felt something.

[You might want to check on Kakashi Vero.]

'What?! IS HE ALRIGHT???'

Before she could ask anything else thought Matatabi had already took over her body and ran over to where Kakashi was. Veronica returned to her senses when she saw he was having a panic attack.

She quickly grabbed him as he was bent over and looking for something to support his weight.

'Matatabi do you know something that could help?!!!'

[I'm trying, try to steady his breathing and help him focus his mind on you.]

Veronica did as she was told, she hugged him tight and took slow deep breaths asking Kakashi to do the same. Eventually he did calm down.

Just as she was about to say something he passed out though.

Its disrespectful in my opinion, when people talk about panic attacks like they're just a slight hiccup.

[Chakra exhaustion.]

'Can you supply him with your chakra?'

[He'll find out about me. And besides he can use this time to finally rest his body and mind. We both know that having a panic attack in the middle of sleeping isn't a healthy sign.]

'Alright. Thanks Matatabi, you're a lifesaver.'

[It's alright, I think you should sleep with him tonight. I'm guessing he's a bit touch starved too.]

'Mhm, I will.'

Veronica with a lot of difficulty finally managed to lay Kakashi down on the bed.

'I am never picking him up again.'

She laid down with him but as usual was having trouble sleeping. She kind of guessed that Kakashi had woken by now and was just eyeing her like a hawk- like an ANBU and waiting for any sort of action from me. Though the two of them never made any move. They didn't push each other away or even twitch a bit.

They were both just children forced to grow up. Touch starved and lonely in the world. Like a pair of siblings. It was a lovely sight.

'I should just let the Uchiha massacre happen to be honest with you... Things would change too much if it didn't happen and I- we could loose the advantage we have. Well, now that I've decided that... There's a lot of things about the future that I'll need to discuss with Matatabi. *Sigh* I hope getting involved with Canon was the right choice.'
