The 10 Tail's Jinchuriki

The Village Hidden In The Leaf!

             "Hey loser!" Sabrina called, "What are you still doing here, not adopted yet?" The girl's posse trailed behind her like a bunch of lost puppies as Sabrina snickered at her own sad taunt. 'Jeez Sabrina, are you really so bored with your miserable life that you have to use me as your entertainment?' I thought.

"Yeah loser, nobody wanted the demon child?" Ria spat. I pulled my lips back into a loose snarl. "Back off, unless you want to have all your limbs torn off and served to you on a silver platter." I was completely serious as I stared at them, my voice a monotone as always. "Shut up, Jinchuriki!"

'Snap'

      I swore I could've heard that sweet sound of bones cracking if it weren't for the ANBU in the room, struggling to conceal himself. I suddenly felt a weak punch thrown at my face. I glared at the blonde, Ria, grabbing her fist midair and squeezed.

      It took barely any effort to hear the satisfying 'Crack' as the blonde was filled with pain. "AHH!" She screeched, "HELP, THE DEMON JUST ASSAULTED ME!" Ria's face twisted in pain, tears streamed down her face.

Her makeup ran down her face, she was the epitome of agony and I loved it. "Akuma, stop this!" The ANBU shrieked. I let go of her fist and Ria gingerly held her hand, whimpering as she did so. She was trying to play the innocent card. "You're coming with me." The ANBU stated with authority. I gave him a small nod and stood up from my desk, taking one last glance at the girls before turning away.

The ANBU and I power-walked to the Hokage's office in an awkward silence. The villagers all glanced at me in fear or stared in disgust, but none complained about it. There was an ANBU here after all. Just as I was about to complain about how stupid walking there was, I realized we were standing in front of the Hokage's door. The ANBU gave two sharp knocks.

     "Come in.." called the Hokage. We stepped into the office and once settled, I finally decided to take in the ANBU's features. To be honest, he didn't look too bad. He had silver spiked hair, seemingly defying gravity and a catlike mask, a well built physique and seemed very tense around me.

      "Ehem," the Hokage cleared his throat, catching my attention. "Hello Akuma, how are you?" The Hokage asked, trying to make small talk. "Hmm.." I put a finger to my forehead, pretending to think. "Besides living in an orphanage and constantly being bullied...peachy." A stoic expression laid on my face, contradictory to my sarcastic remark.

      "Uhm...well, that's why you're here, you're going to attend Konoha Academy, you'll get your own apartment, courtesy of me.." "I even did extra paperwork for this..." He sulked. For once, my dull, sunken eyes held something other than sadness, anger or malice. They glimmered with slight hope.

The Hokage smiled lightly, letting out a chuckle. He fumbled around the papers on his cluttered desk and smirked triumphantly at the shimmering key and the money next to it.

      "Here's some money and your apartment keys, good luck!" He tossed them to me with a smile. I gladly accepted them and asked, "Where is my apartment?" "Ah...Cat if you will..." The Hokage gestured between us before getting back to his paperwork. "Hai, Hokage." Kakashi replied, immediately leading me to my apartment. We walked for a while, then stopped. "This is it." He said lazily. I nodded with a quick 'thank you' and strolled in, finding apartment 14.         

       The apartment was quite small with barely any furnishing. It had no TV, one small bathroom, a small blanket and an okay kitchen. 'Not even furnished.' I sighed, taking time to memorize the layout of the apartment. "Okay, nobody is here so I can do whatever I want." I stated plainly.
