~Third Person POV~

Lord Hokage stared down at the sleeping girl lying peacefully in bed. He was glad he had left his state of shock long enough to do the Jutsu. Everyone who had seen what had happened between Ruka and Naruto had lost their memory of it and fell into a deep sleep.

When Ruka and Naruto wake up, they won't remember a thing, not even meeting each other. The man stroked his beard in deep thought. Ruka was different, it would seem she too had something inside of her that aroused the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Naruto, while under the possession, had mentioned something about a mate.

Was it possible that...

Lord Hokage lifted up the girls shirt slightly and stared at her stomach. Nothing. He sighed and was about to pull her shirt back down when the skin in her stomach started to burn and a tattoo like image appeared.

If the branding of the seal bothered the girl in her sleep she did not show it. Lord Hokage stared at the complex seal in amazement, and stared making hand signs.

"Ninja Art!" He said "Demon Eye Jutsu!"

He then placed his hand on the girls seal, and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again he was in a large room with an endless ceiling. He walked forward with an determined stride. He was so caught up in curiosity that he had to know if this girl held a demon; the same as Naruto.

There was hardly any light in the dark room, and from the end of the room he heard a faint growl.

There it is!

However, the big question was what is it?!

He walked faster and a large cage came into view. The cage had a giant seal upon it with a slot the size of someone's hand upon it. Lord Hokage continued to stare at the seal; not realizing there was a pair of giant watery blue eyes watching him. The old man looked up and saw the eyes watching him. So his suspicions were right; Ruka had a demon inside of her as well.

"You don't belong here!" The demon said angrily, it's voice bouncing off the walls and echoing across the cold and eerie light of the room.

It was a female demon. No wonder it had gotten the Nine Tailed Foxes attention.

"Forgive me" Lord Hokage said calmly "I was just curious."

The demon squinted its eyes and stepped closer to the bars so he could see it. It was a very frightening sight. It was as tall as the Nine Tailed Fox, and it's whole body was made of nothing but water. It had eleven tails that swayed behind it with needle sharp tips.

"I suppose you are Kinase" Lord Hokage said trying to remain calm.

For some reason, Kinase was even more frightening then the Nine Tailed Fox.

The way she held herself with a precise amount of pride and dignity was intimidating; the way she growled every few seconds to make sure you were reminded of your place.

She was very frightening.

"Yes I am" Kinase said sharply; cutting across his thoughts "but I don't want you here. SO LEAVE!"

Lord Hokage simply nodded and closed his eyes for a long time. When he opened them, he was back and his knees started to buckle. Why was that fox so intimidating? He lifted down Ruka's shirt and left the room. He had to find out somehow.

*****

Naruto stared up at the ceiling in deep thought; something he doesn't stop to do quite as much as he should.

He felt like he was forgetting something...but what?

First, we woke up and ate some ramen. (A daily treat!)

Secondly, he went out and did some pranks on Sasuke. (Dobe...)

Thirdly, he went to the Ramen shop and ate some more ramen. (10 bowls just wasn't enough.)

Finally, he ran home.

That's it! Yet, he felt like something wasn't right. It was like he did something, but forgot what it was.

Oh well!

It was probably something stupid anyway. Naruto stood up and went over to his window before staring out of it. Sometimes he wished things were different; he wished he had a family and people that cared about him. Everyone in the village is happy, and having a good time....except him.

What is it that made him so different?! Why wasn't he allowed to be happy? All his life he's never had a family or friends. He would be lucky if he even got a hello every now and then.

Naruto felt his eyes start to water and he wiped them away. There's no time for crying; over the years he's done enough of that. Naruto flopped back down on his bed and sighed.

Just wait!

One day he was going to be Hokage! Then he would get treated with more respect and actually have a purpose. Naruto was going to stick to his dream no matter what. No one could take that away from him!

Believe it!!
