The Lost Jinchūriki (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter 9: Snowy's Voice

*Naruto's POV*

When I woke up the next day and opened my eyes, I was terrified when I saw 2 blue eyes staring in my face. 

"Ah!" I yelled, falling flat on the floor. "Ow," I whined rubbing my bump.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I heard a tiny voice yell as the owner jumped from the bed. 

"Sachi, what were you doing? " I said noticing the little 5-year-old was the one to knock me out the bed.

"I just wanted to wake you up." Sachi whispered. "Staring in my face is one way to wake me, how long were you in here?" I asked getting up.

"I don' t know but I was scared to wake you." She said looking at the floor. "After what happened yesterday I just-"

"It's fine Sachi." I said cutting her off. I got up and put on the clean shirt they found me in. "Don't worry bout it." I said colder than I meant to.

 I walk out of the room and headed to the kitchen when I was stopped outside the living room. Kai was staring at the cage that was holding Mitsuki, mumbling something. I leaned into the room to listen in. 

"Why? Why him, Mitsuki? Why not me?" He mumbled as his fist clenched. She was asleep but by how close he was it was easy to know she heard him. She was ignoring him then?

I didn't want to go and comfort him since he was a little imitating. But once again. "What are doing standing there, dobe?" He said loudly still staring at Mitsuki.

"I-i was just heading to the kitchen a-and I saw you." I sputtered. 'Why am I stuttering? Am I really scared of someone I don't know'? 

I walked into the room and then Mitsuki started barking. I saw Kai's fist tightening as he unlocked the cage. The pup ran to me and jumped in my arms. I giggled and laughing and twirled her around. "You are so cute. I'm gonna call you Snowy." 

"Her name is Mitsuki." Kai said standing up and staring in my eyes. "I know, but I want to call her Snowy."

"Ugh, the prophecy is wasted on someone like you." Kai said before brushing past me and walking out the door. 

"What's his problem with you?"

"I have no idea." I answer to the voice. Then I realized.

"Who said that?" I said looking around the room. There was no one there other than me and Mitsuki. I looked into the hallway trying to see if anyone was there but there wasn't. I must be hearing things. I need to go back to sleep.

"Mitsuki, do you know who that voice was?" I said brushing her fur and laughing.

"IT WAS ME!" Mitsuki said as I screamed and dropped her. "Ouch!" she said using her paw to rub her head.

"I-I I'm sorry!" I said picking her back up and rubbing her head. "Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yea" she said. "I'll be f-fine..." she trailed off as she melted in my arms. 

"So, how are you talking to me?"

"I-I don't know. When we are born, we are put in that forest so our perfect person can find us." she said jumping back on the ground.

"So, why did we have to fight? Couldn't I just have come and get you?" I asked bending down to her. 

"I guess, so we can find someone strong, stronger than us. So, if you beat us, you keep us." she said smiling.

"So, why did everyone seem so surprised that I beat you....and they also seemed like you had something to do with the prophecy." 

"Well, they were probably surprised because I have been in there longer than anyone else. " She said laying down, closing her eyes. 'Like Kurama does.'
