Rin was sleeping in her bed but was tossing and turning. Her eyes were killing her since they had just gained the Byakugan.

FLASHBACK

“NOOO!” Rin yelled as she smashed around in her room holding her eyes in pain. She wasn’t sure what she was hitting but she couldn’t stop. The pain was too great for her.

“This is how it felt…..like last time!” she yelled. She made her way to the bathroom and tried to find the mirror. She opened her eyes up and could see the Byakugan looking right at her. It was so weird to her that they looked just like Hinata’s eyes.

‘But why? Why was she using it against me? My body wouldn’t have taken it if she wasn’t using it against me, so I don’t understand!’ The Byakugan then disappeared. ‘PHEW, it went away. My eyes still hurt though.’

Rin walked out of her bathroom to inspect the mess she had made.

“ooooooooooooooh. Woops! Well on the plus side it’s not as bad as the time I got the other blood line limit. It hurt so much I destroyed half a forest!”

Rin rubbed her head in embarrassment as she picked up the broken items on the floor and threw them out. Her eyes kept bugging her so she decided it would be best if she rested them. She went to her bed and began to sleep.

END FLASHBACK

Two anbu were standing in Rin’s room watching her have trouble sleeping. She was mumbling something to herself.

“kill…m…kill….m…..kill…m…”

“Do you hear what she is saying?” the anbu with a bird face mask asked.

“Yes, she wants to kill.” The other anbu said. “This is probably the information the Hokage wanted to hear about.”

“…huh?….INTRUDERS!” Rin yelled as she jumped to her feet and threw her two pillows at the anbu as if they were weapons. She switched her lights on to see the intruders.

“Anbu? What are you doing here?” she asked as she watched them closely.

“Keeping an eye on you.” The bird said. “Orders of the Hokage.”

“The Hokage? So she sent two MALE anbu to watch a girl sleep? THAT’S SO PERVERTED!” she yelled making the anbu cover their ears.

With just a few hand signs Rin disappeared in a puff of smoke.

“AH! Where’d she go?” the other anbu asked.

“I can give you one guess.” The bird said as he too made a hand sign.

---

The Hokage was at her desk, practically asleep, while thinking about how Naruto was doing on his mission. She hoped he was doing okay since he went not fully completing his new jutsu.

‘I hope he can do it without tapping into the charka of the nine tailed fox. Speaking of that there’s still the matter with Rin. I suppose anbu right now are finding things out about her now but I wonder if I could use other sources. She was seen hanging around with Hinata Hyuuga. I don’t think it was such a good idea to allow them to train together. If Rin were an enemy then she could learn her weakness. (yawn) Or even worse she could try and steal Hinata for her Byakugan.’

The Hokage closed her eyes as she rested her chin on her intertwined fingers. She sat their peacefully for a minute when a loud yell woke her up.

“TSUNADE!” yelled the voice of Rin as she entered the room in a puff of smoke.

“AAHHHHHHHHH!” The Hokage yelled as she fell out of her chair. She stood up rubbing her head as a scowl began to form on her face.

“Rin! What the hell is your problem? How dare you! Couldn’t you see I was working?!”

“Well excuse me, but I was SLEEPING and found two MALE anbu watching me! Ever hear of a thing called privacy?!” she yelled back.

“I’m sorry Rin but since we don’t know much about you then we must take extra careful precautions.” She yelled as the two anbu appeared in smoke right behind Rin. “How can we trust you well enough when you told us your objective is to get the nine tailed fox’s holder and not tell us what village you’re from?”

Rin was going to yell back but the Hokage was right. If the tables were turned Rin might not trust the person either, although she did have that ability to check out the others person mind.

“Hokage….I’m sorry. At my village people who leave aren’t….well they’re not….no one in my village is aloud to speak of it. It is forbidden to bring it up. I am not aloud to give you any information about my village what so ever.” Rin told her.

“I know that, but that would mean that your village is not known to many. So Rin, do even live in a village or is it like a cult?” The Hokage asked as she sat down in her chair taking her infamous position with her chin on her hands.

“I can’t say. Especially not with these anbu around.” Rin told her. The Hokage nodded her head towards the anbu and they both disappeared. The lights in the room became bright and were no longer dim for the Hokage’s sleeping pleasures. Her and Rin were about to get down to business so she treated the conversation as one.

“I come from a village.” Rin said as she looked down at the ground when the lights came on. “It’s not small. No one has heard of it. It is hidden quite well. If word were to get out about then my village could be in danger.”

“And why would that be?” The Hokage asked. “What would put it into danger?”

“We’re far more advanced then you are.” Rin said making the Hokage cock an eyebrow. “We have created jutsus that no one has ever even thought of, and we have created jutsus that some people here work to perfect. I’m not saying we’re strong. We create jutsus to help our village out, manly for sciences. Our …..m…military…..” Rin said as she hushed her voice a little and eyed around corners of the room. “Has only created jutsus just the same as any other village. It’s not even that big since no one would ever find it.”

“What makes your village think it’ll never be found?” Tsunade asked.

“Because we haven’t been found.” Rin put bluntly. “My village is fifty times as old as all of the other villages.” The Hokage’s eye brows widened. “Combined.” Rin finished making the Hokage’s eye pop open as well.

“How is that even possible?!” Tsunade yelled as she stood up out of her chair.

Rin was looking nervously around the room, especially towards shadows.

“Like I said….we’re very well hidden.” Rin said still looking around at the shadows, which didn’t go unnoticed.

“So then why has your village sent you here for the nine tailed fox?” Tsunade asked.

Rin’s eyes then stopped searching the room and looked directly towards Tsunade. Her eyes were different now. They had hate and anger in them. Tsunade almost felt threatened a little.

“I am not looking for the nine tailed fox!” she spat. “I’m looking for its guardian!”

“Hm? It’s guardian?” Tsunade asked confused. “Don’t you mean its Jinchūriki?” Tsunade asked.

“That’s a terrible word that you all made up to call us who have….HUH!”
”HUH!” Tsunade gasped.

“Oh no!” Rin cried. “Shit….NO!” she yelled as she fell to her knees. The Hokage, still shocked at hearing Rin admit to being a holder of a tailed demon, walked around her desk to see Rin down on the floor with her arms covering her body. She was cowering before the Hokage but Tsunade had no idea why.

“Rin what’s wrong?!” Tsunade yelled.

“I’m sorry!” Rin cried. “I didn’t want to tell you my secret!” she cried some more. Her whole body began to shake in fear. “PLEASE DON’T KILL ME! I’LL LEAVE! I’LL NEVER COME BACK!” Rin pleaded.

The room began to shake lightly. Tsunade looked around alarmed. Parts of her desk were snapping and light bulbs in the room were cracking.

‘WHA! What is the meaning of all this? Why’s the room doing this..WAIT! I since a strong charka.’ Tsunade looked down at the floor at Rin. ‘All of that chakra is coming from her body! She must have been surpressing this entire time! But HOW?!’

Parts of the ceiling were falling apart now and the shaking became even more intense.

“RIN! Calm DOWN!” Tsunade yelled. “I’m not going to hurt you!” she yelled.

It was like Rin didn’t even hear her, and she was letting her charka slip some more. Tsunade also took note of how the shadows in the room began to grow in the room even with some of the lights out.

“I’m so alone!” Tsunade could hear Rin cry. “I am a demon…..I have no one.” She cried even more as she let even more of her chakra escape from her.

‘I have never seen so much chakra!’ Tsunade thought. ‘This girl is unstable! She’ll destroy this whole building!’

“I need to die!” Rin sobbed as her eyes turned a demonic blue. She looked up at Tsunade with her crying blue eyes. “Kill me.” She sobbed. “I am a demon, kill me!”

Tsunade couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Her whole body was in a state of shock as she stared at Rin who was now staring up at her with blue eyes that looked like they belonged to a demon.

“Tsunade!” cried Shizune as she ran into the room. “We’re being attacked by something!” she then stopped running into the room when she could see Rin on the floor and she could feel all the chakra emitting from her. “Hokage!” she yelled in fear that the Hokage was in danger.

“Hokage!” yelled four anbu who appeared in the room. They all had weapons in their hands and were battle ready.

“We’ll protect you!” one of them yelled as they all were about to jump and attack Rin.

“STAND DOWN!” The Hokage yelled stopping them. She never once let her eyes linger away from Rin.

“My village can find me now! They’re going to kill to get to me!” Rin cried. “This is all my fault! Kill me!Kill me!Kill me!” she kept repeating.

“Rin!” Tsunade yelled. She then went down to the floor and wrapped her arms around Rin’s body. The instant she did Rin’s eyes went back to normal. Her chakra stopped flowing freely and was beginning to go back under Rin’s control. “Rin it’s alright! Calm down! You’re safe here. You can live here! Just control your chakra again, stay calm. Stay with me Rin focus!” Tsunade yelled. Rin stopped her tears and focused more over her chakra control. The room slowly stopped shaking. Broken pieces that were floating upward because of Rin’s power dropped right back down to the ground. Rin was now calm again. She was still in Tsunade’s embrace. Her eyes began to water up again as she found her arms hug Tsunade back.

“Ts…Tsunade?” Shizune asked. She and the four anbu stared at Tsunade hug Rin. Tsunade then lifted her right hand and flicked the back of Rin’s head knocking her out.

“You anbu!” Tsunade yelled. “One of you grab her and take her to the hospital. I’ll be there to do an examination on her body shortly.”

With any hesitation one of the anbu who was wearing a regular white mask with a patch over the eye part grabbed Rin and then disappeared.

“Madam Hokage. What was wrong with her?” asked the anbu with the bird mask.

“……Her chakra had been sealed away. She opened her seal and it all leaked out.” Everyone in the room gasped.

“She had so much chakra!” Shizune exclaimed. “She felt more powerful then even….”

“I have never felt so much chakra before…ever.” Tsunade said.

---

At the hospital Tsunade was sitting next to the bed Rin was laying in. They didn’t get rid of Rin’s pajamas which was really just a very long night gown that went past her knees and it was also long sleeved. The entire thing was white which made her look tanner then she really was since she was very paled skinned. Tsunade stared down at her sadly as she began to gather her thoughts. She forbid anyone to enter the room so she had enough time to think.

‘So….she’s has a tailed demon in her too. Just like Naruto. She kept yelling how she was alone. It was like she wasn’t even herself at that moment and was yelling her deep ……is this how Naruto felt all those years when he was little? Was he just as alone as she was? Was she even alone? So many things to ask her.’

---

Rin was slowly waking up with a terrible headache. Nothing new to her. She used to wake up with injuries that she didn’t even remember getting so she was already healing it as she sat up in the bed she was laying in. She rubbed her head a bit and then opened her eyes slowly since the room was bright.

“Huh? Tsunade? What are you doing in my room?” Rin then looked around. “Oh. This is the hospital again right?”

“You’re very skilled in medical jutsu to not be a ninja.” Tsunade commented.

“I was always healed against my own will. In the end I taught my self.” Rin said sounding serious. “Is this room sound proofed already? It is isn’t it.”
”…It is.” Tsunade said surprised she knew it was.

“So then what do you want me to tell you?” Rin asked her sadly.

“Well what can you tell me?” Tsunade asked trying to compromise.

“Nothing. Telling you where I come from already seals my death.” Rin told her monotone. It didn’t feel like the same Rin she first met. Rin now looked like she had been crying and was now had no emotion at all.

“So then what do you want to tell me?” Tsunade asked.

“I didn’t want to tell you anything. By saying the smallest thing to you I have already put you in danger, maybe even this village. If you let me go now I won’t come back.”

“Let me get this straight.” Tsunade said as she crossed both her legs and arms. “You’ve told me that no one is aloud to leave your village. You’ve risked your life already so what’s stopping you now? As far as I can tell you’re dead either way.”

“But it’s my village! I can’t expose them to you. If word got out about them then they could be in danger!”

“Rin. I’m not asking about your village. I want to know about you. I want to know what you want with the Holder of the nine tailed fox.”

Rin took a breath to calm herself down. She folded her hands over her lap and then began to stare at them to avoid eye contact with Tsunade.

“Well I guess….I already said it. I have a demon inside me too. This demon has brought me nothing but pain, if you can even imagine what that is like. I grew up alone. I wasn’t loved or liked by anyone from where I lived. So then I figured there had to be someone out there who could relate to me. Then it hit me!” Rin said as she looked over at Tsunade. “Another demon guardian. Another person like me!”

“Why do you call them that? You keep saying that you are a guardian of the demon.” Tsunade pointed out.

“Because that’s what we are. We hold these demons inside our bodies. We act as a guardian or even like a cage protecting them from the world. It is why the nine tailed fox was sealed in a baby sixteen years ago right? It attacked this village and to keep it safe was sealed away. Same thing with my village. My demon was sealed in my body too to protect the village that was supposed to love me.”

‘Supposed to love?’ Tsunade wondered. ‘What does she mean by that?’

“I mean against my wishes I took the demon into my body to protect my village, just like the holder of the nine tailed fox did.”

“Wait how did you…!”

“I can sort of tell what you’re thinking. I don’t get it either, but I accidentally learned this jutsu for mind reading. Don’t think anything unless you want me to hear it.” Rin warned. “But I use it by accident.”

“Does….that even make sense?” Tsunade asked.

“I don’t know!” Rin shrugged.

‘So they’re supposed to love you?’ Tsunade thought to see if Rin could really read minds.

“Not love, but to be grateful of me. Don’t you think those you were forced to carry such a demon should be recognized as a hero?” Rin asked.

‘The fourth Hokage’s last wishes. The third told me about that. When the demon was sealed away he wanted the demons holder to be treated as a hero and not like a demon.’

“I see you’ve learned about the whole mind reading thing.” Rin commented. “Don’t worry, I can’t do it all the time. Mainly at night, but sometimes it surprises me and does it whenever. I can even tap into it when I want to.”

“So you have this physic ability?” Tsunade asked.

“Yes, I have inherited it from my demon.” Rin told her.

“So then what is your demon? I was informed that the Akatsuki had contained nearly all nine of the tailed demons. So which one is in you?” Tsunade asked completely puzzled.

“Akatsuki? Are they the people who wear black robes like mine but without a hood and have read clouds all over them?” Rin asked.

“Yes.” Tsunade nodded.

“Those bastards!” Rin growled. “My village has never gotten that much information on them but they did just recently kill my sister.”

Tsunade’s eyes widened in shock. “So you’re sister is a demon too?”

“Not my blood sister. But she has a demon in her too just as I have the Ten Tailed White Tiger in me.”

“The…..WHAT?!” Tsunade yelled as she jumped out of her chair pushing it back. “I’ve never heard of that demon before!”

“Remember how I said my village was older then all of yours? Since the demon lived there no one would have known about it. There aren’t nine great tailed demons. There are really ten, and I have the head honcho locked up inside me.”

“So then you call this other girl your sister because she had a demon inside her?”

“She was the carrier of the Two Tailed Demon cat.” Rin then grew sad. “She was killed by the people in black robes. The Akatsuki is what you called it? Now I fear for the life of my brother. I had an objective which was to meet him and be with someone who felt the same as I did. But now I want to protect him.”

“So I see now. Anyone with a demon is like your brother? One who has also felt your pain”

“Yes.” Rin nodded. “A demon in another is my brother.”
