The words on the letter spun around Naruko's mind like a vortex, and her vision blurred in front of her. This overload of information was too much for a young girl like her to handle. She clutched the sides of her head, hands trembling. Sweat slipped down her skin. Her eyes filled with tears of panic. 

Suddenly, she found herself in a sewer area, were the water level was ankle length. Huh? Where am I? She thought. One moment ago, she was in the bedroom.

She tried to moved her legs, but they semmed suprisingly heavy. She trudged through the yellowish water. Pipes attached to the walls leaked liquid, that occasionally landed on the water with a splash that broke the silence of the whole place. 

Naruko found a dark part of the mysterious area. A feeling of dread tinged her spine. The humid, wet atmosphere prickled her skin. The dimly lit surroundings made the blood red eyes stand out well. 

You have finally found this place.

Who are you? Naruko yelled.

A voice from the enormous gates boomed, I am inside you. I am the kyuubi.

Naruko shivered with rage. This creature was the reason she was hated. Resented. Ignored. Mistreated. Shunned her entire life. 

A cackle echoed from the cage. You naive kid. It was destined that you would become my jinchuriki. Now, you will become my vessel. I will take over your body.

Naruko ignored it. She sat on the floor. 

Oi! Respond to me, kit. 

I will not give you anything you want, Naruko said firmly. 

Haah? The red eyes darkned.

If you are not going to listen, girl, then join the Akatsuki. 

Naruko's ears perked. How do you know about that?

I see what you see, kit. 

Naruko shook her head. No. I will never betray my village. 

The kyubi laughed. After all they did to you? 

They are my family. 

They hated you. Wanted you to die. What do you even have left in that darn village?

Naruko took a deep breath. I have my team left. Sasuke. Saku-kun. Kakashi sensei. Even my best friend, Hinata. 

One of the boys almost got you killed, ya'know. 

I know, but I don't care. They care about me, and I care about them. Naruko got up. 

And you are not changing my mind.





Naruko got shook to her senses. In front of her, she saw a familiar pinkette. 

"Naruko-chan? Naruko-chan! Naruko-chan's awake!" Saku cried, pulling Naruko to his chest. 

Naruko was still in a daze. But when she saw a familiar raven-haired boy leaning on the door with a frown on his face, she flashed a playful grin at him. He returned a small smile, but that was a lot for Sasuke. 

"Feel's great to be back, doesn't it?" She smiled happily.
