"Kimiko, we need to talk." Kakashi began. "The other day, when you let that Kihaku out, were you conscious when it was released or taken over?"

"...No...I didn't mean to let it out. The anger just took over me..when Zabuza was hurting you, I felt really angry and I don't know, I just became really dizzy and collapsed. It never happened when I was with..." I trailed off, scenes of Orochimaru appeared through my head.

"Well, we'll just have to work on controlling it. In the meantime-"

"Ne, ne, Kimi-chan, what was that thing that appeared the other day? Zabuza said you were going through a change or something, and Kakashi-sensei mentioned it was something called the Kihaku?" Naruto asked, tugging at my sleeve. Sasuke simply huffed and turned the other way, but his eyes were trailing back every now and then to show he was also curious. Sakura simply nodded and gazed at me for an explanation.

"Naruto, I don't think she would-"

"It's alright nii-san, they should know. It did happen in front of them anyways." I let out a deep sigh and stood up, waking Kouta up as well.

"Before I arrived to Konoha, there was this...thing that kidnapped me. I was around one or two years old, so it was a bit vague to remember, but I remember exactly what happened the past 10 years I spent in that hell hole. For those 10 years, I had to survive on my own. I was barely given any food, going out to enjoy the sunshine and running around was rare so I treasured every moment I could when I was let out. During those 10 years-"

"Couldn't you have escaped if you have that thing inside of you?" Sakura interrupted.

"I was just getting to that."

She slowly nodded and gazed around, avoiding eye contact with her. The pack of wolves had lined up against the wall and sat down, patiently waiting. She noticed Tazuna and Tsunami had left for their privacy.

"During those 10 years, I was considered a prodigy. So, as expected, the thing named Orochimaru, sealed me away from the outside world for the past 4 years, secretly training me at the age of 6 with S-rank ninjas who have gone bad. I remembered one of them beat me up so bad, I almost died." She darkly chuckled, the images flashing through her head. Everyone turned away and winced.

"I could have escaped like you said, but he kept chakra chains on me to prevent me from running away. At that time, he didn't seal the Kihaku inside of me. Right when he did, the chakra chains couldn't hold all the power, so it broke. I knew it was my only chance to escape, so I quickly ran away, destroying all the things that went towards my way. It was quite easy, thanks to Kihaku's power, but I still had a few cuts and scratches. I wasn't aware of what he had done at that time, so I was frightened when it spoke to me. I met Kouta along the way, and here we are," she finished, throwing her hands up.

"H-How strong is the K-Kibaku, Kakashi-sensei?"

"It's Kihaku, Naruto. It's considered to be a wolf demon that had been gone thousands of years ago. I can only imagine how much power and strength, not to mention the knowledge, it really has. Right now, it appears to be tamed and has taken a liking to Kimiko, so it is only partially safe. It's still a demon no matter what, and once no one has control over it, it will not hesitate to kill anything in it's way. Not much people know Miko has it sealed inside which is very lucky for her and everyone she holds close."

"Kimiko, was it...bad in that place?" Sakura slowly asked with pity in her eyes.

Kimiko grimaced and nodded. "I remember he would experiment his dumb labs on me as if I were a lab rat."
