Heroes Do Exist (ILYBD Trequel)

She Promises

Kinaru: Alright, one more chapter before the week starts up again!

Disclaimer:

It's funny I used to do these all the time in my other fanfics.... Kinda miss the random conversations.

Yuna: Mah, that's cause you had better ideas for them.

Kinaru: Gee thanks, so anyone want to do the disclaimer?

Yuna: *sighs* This kyuubi will do it, mah. Kinaru_Sad_Ninja does not own Naruto, or Naruto Shippuden. Only her OCs

Hope everyone enjoys!

Chapter 20

The trip across the land of fire was much longer, and far harder, than the demoness would have expected. She never imagined a trip from the Fire to Wind would take so much out of her.

Though she blamed the life in her stomach for that. She couldn't begin to understand why all those ladies chose to have more than one child. One pregnancy was enough to drive the kyuubi mad, and she hadn't even reached the end of the cycle.

She may not have known much about carrying a child, but she was more than sure that the birthing would be the most painful thing she could ever imagine. The kitsune shuddered at the thought. It probably hurt worse than dying, twice.

Yuna let out an exhausted sigh, letting herself fall back into a sitting position on the ground. She was beginning to remember why she had hated Suna so much. The sun was always blazing, even in the winter, and the sand got everywhere.

The tailed beast had changed from her casual Akatsuki attire, now dress in light browns and heat resistant clothing. It was similar to what she had worn the last time she'd been in Suna.

She wore a dress, with a hood, and a poncho over it. The cream colored fabric hid her tails and ears quite nicely. She only worried a little on her facial markings, as they would be a dead give away. Even if Gaara had promised a safe haven for her on her last visit, she couldn't be sure it still stood, or that his shinobi and guard would show her mercy.

Though she'd never done anything to them personally, her family had been the cause of Gaara's near death experience. Not to mention the almost death of his brother as well. She was sure no one in Suna would ever forget that.

Figuring she'd rested long enough, the fiery demon hauled herself back to her feet.  The ninja here were crazy for choosing such a place to live and raise their young. Then again she had the same plan.

"Mah. Damn Sand-nin... Built their village... So far away..." She grumbled loathingly, as she stumbled through the blowing sand and howling winds.

This was no place for a kyuubi, there was a reason why she had ended up in Konoha and Shukaku had ended up in Suna. He was made for this hot weather. She was made to run under the cover of the trees.

The demon grimaced, looking up at the large sand walls of Suna. She wasn't so sure she would like it here now. If there were trees, she'd never seen them, and it was only cool at night. Her kits wouldn't like it either.

Both she and Itachi had been born and raised under the protection of trees. Their kid would most likely carry that same love for the leaf. Yuna pulled her hood further over her face, the wind was almost strong enough to pull it off.

She looked around at the other travelers entering the village, knowing she'd be stopped for traveling alone. A merchant, with a cart, was making his way to the entrance. She smirked, that would do nicely.
