I never met my parents, and to this day I still don't know if that was good or bad. I had fake parents, that I had called mom and dad, and that made me happy. It made me feel perfect... I graduated the academy, I took exams, I went on missions, all was normal, All was... Perfect. I had dreams, dreams to become exceptional, to become strong. Perfect dreams. With everything being fit to our expectations, something would be bound to go wrong. Something wouldn't be... Perfect. I do not own Naruto. I own only my characters I have created and the changes to the plot.

Step into the life of an abomination referred to as Subject 541 - frequently regarded as Orochimaru's personal pet. She's human, but feels far from it - her fox ears and tail sprouting after a series of experiments. These experiments involved the Nine-Tailed fox's DNA, a strip of fur being extracted from the Nine-Tail when it was released upon the Hidden Leaf Village 13 years ago and injected into Subject 541's body. She was found to be compatible with the fox's DNA, growing a tail almost instantly, the growth of eight more tails imminent. She's kept around as a warning to all test subjects... but what would happen if she were to find her way out? ------------ I am now in the process of rewriting this story!

The bandages that covered his face in life have fallen away, all incinerated and hanging loosely around his neck. His face is completely destroyed. Unrecognizable. The skin covering his face is no longer there, all having melted away. His blood vessels have all burst, his nerves have fried along with the majority of his muscles. His jaw opens and closes a little bit. His eyes bore into me. They're large and round and completely accusing. His teeth are covered in bits of burnt muscle. I feel my heart thudding in my chest. He steps closer, closer. His bone gleams in the dim light. As he closes in on me, a pounding noise begins ringing through my ears. My heart beat- ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum. It looked like he had been tossed into a fryer, fried alive, and he had been. By me. I did this to someone. I killed someone's team mate, someone's son. I killed someone's important person. -- Kimiko Kioku, a memory keeper. Never forgets anything, always notices, from the exact way the wind blew her hair against her face to coloring with her brother at five to the lullaby her mother would sing to her as she rocked her when she was not even a year old. She remembers. She remembers the blood, the glassy, clouded over eyes her brother had as he said his last words. She remembers the very first person she killed. She remembers how abandoned she feels, and how everything always feels like it's falling apart at the seams. (Can you say 'worst summary ever to exist'? Okay, maybe not that bad. But still pretty bad.)

Meet Fuzen Kanpeki. She leads a normal life. A student in the ninja academy at Konoha. A good student. A couple of friends. A family to come home to every day. Mother, Father, Sister. A loving family, no? That's right. No.
