The Lost Jinchūriki (Naruto Fanfiction)

Part 10: Sun and Eclipse

I walked into Kai's room. The walls were painted dark purple and there were weapons on the wall like the ones in the room I slept in. There was a big bed in the right corner facing the door with a nightstand on the side. And there was a door on the wall when you first come in that seemed like it was a bathroom. On the other side of the room there were two doors that came together with knobs in the front. 'Closet'

I went into the closet and saw a lot of clothes. Most were purple and white; okay all were purple and white. 'Those are not really my colors.' I had no idea what to put on. I heard to the door open and froze. 'Oh, shoot that must be Kai.'

I slowly looked over at the door to see a black and red wolf with a scar in the doorway. "Homura?"

He walked into the room and sat on the bed watching me. I stared at him for a while but then turned back to the closet. It was silence as I stood in front of the clothes thinking what would look best until...

"You can understand me, can't you?"

I quickly flipped as I saw Homura in the same position as he was a few minutes ago, looking dead into my eyes. I nodded and he looked at me a while longer before saying.

"So why didn't you tell them that?"

I looked at the floor and then answered. "I didn't want to make Kai ever madder at me."

Homura jumped off the bed but got into the same sitting position on the floor. "You're something special kid. Don't let anyone make you feel like you have to hide your talents."

I stood there in shock. Homura never took me as the 'inspirational' type. "I think it's still best I keep it secret." I said with my head down.

Homura sighed deeply and then walked past me to the closet and sat. He looked for a while and I stayed quiet not knowing what he was doing. Soon he pushed his nose into the closet. He used his nose to push the clothes out of the way then looked at me.

I looked at him then went to the closet. Behind the rest were a box of other clothes. They were red, white, gold, black, colors like that. On the box read, 'Nisshoku'.

"Homura, why does it say Eclipse?" I asked the wolf with a sad look in his eyes. "Nisshoku was Nari, Sachi, and Kai's older brother."

"Where is he? I wanna meet him!" I said with excitedly. Myabe he could help me get on Kai's good side. "He-he's not here anymore." Homura said looking at the box. "W-what?" I asked.

"H-he was murdered by our people. Just for being born during an eclipse!" Homura cursed.

"What?! Why?!" I asked, completely confused.

"As you know the prophecy talks about the savior in the form of the sun....so this clan fears the moon and the dark. Nisshoku was born during an eclipse, when the moon passed over the sun and blocked its light. And because of that on his 5th birthday, 3 years after Kai was born and hours before they were given Nari....he was executed in front of the whole clan in the broad of daylight."

By the time he was finished I was in shock, "That's crazy...." I whispered. Then I replayed everything he just said. "Wait, did you just they were 'given' Nari?"

"10 years ago, Nari was found at the doorway with a note that just said to 'keep her safe' and her name. Thats all."

"So, Nari is adopted?"

"Basically."

It was quiet for a while then I said.

"I don't think I should wear these."

"Stop doubting yourself."

"I'm not! I just don't think it's right for a stranger to wear a dead person, who is nowhere related to me, clothes.
