The Legend of the Kyubi

"That explains a lot," said Kankuro as he looked at the green-haired woman.     

"What do you mean?!" - Temari exclaimed in surprise as she looked at her brother.     

"It all sounds too forced," said Kankuro seriously. "Think of the events that led to Pakura-sama's disappearance and presumed death..."     

Temari began to think of the events and her expression grew worse and worse. The more she analyzed the situation, the more shady everything became, to the point that she could only curse her trust for Suna and Rasa by not realizing how easy it was to uncover everything.     

"At least one of you is using your head," Pakura said now that she had calmed down, although she was still resisting the urge to end the lives of the two young ones in front of her.     

"I... I'm sorry..." - Temari muttered as she began to cry.     

"An apology won't bring back my lost years..." - Pakura said coolly - "An apology won't help me recover... Come on, Kurama-sama... Tsunade-sama is waiting for us"     

"Pakura-sama!" - Temari exclaimed painfully.     

Pakura did not stop, she continued walking as if she had not heard her.     

"Kurama-kun..." - muttered the girl from Suna as she looked at the ginger.     

"I'm sorry Temari... The hatred she has for Suna and mostly for Rasa, is too great" - sighed Kurama while shaking his head - "I'm sorry..."     

". . ." - Temari only sighed with regret as she tried to wipe away her tears, but she calmed down a bit when she felt her brother's hand - "Kankuro..."     

"We'd better go back to Suna" - the boy sighed as he looked at his sister - "We have to inform Gaara about this, as well as find out more about the stupidity our beloved father did... besides, we can use this time so that she tries to calm down..."     

". . . ok. . ." - Temari only nodded as she slowly looked in the direction where her idol had walked.     

* * * * *     

"The children are not guilty of the father's sin," said Kurama as he appeared beside the woman. "And not all of the Suna are responsible for your pain..."     

". . ." - Pakura did not answer him, he just continued walking even though Kurama could see how her hatred and anger had diminished considerably - "I know. . . but my heart still blames everyone for my fate . . ."     

"Is there anyone who has waited for your return in Suna?" - asked Kurama as he watched the woman pause for a few seconds before continuing.     

"Yes..." - replied the woman as she thought about why she was talking so much to the redhead, probably because he gave her hope of returning to her former self - "Her name is Maki... she was like a daughter to me... She must be about 22 years old now..."     

"Would you like to talk about it?" - asked the redhead - "Maybe then you can take the first step"     

"No..." - Pakura responded almost immediately - "At least not yet..."     

"Ok" - nodded Kurama as the two of them walked silently.     

* * * * *     

"Is it true?" - one woman asked.     

"I heard it from the Tsunade-sama herself..." - replied another woman.     

"Perfect... this is our chance" - nodded the first woman but her expression changed when she noticed her friend's expression - "What is it, Hikari-chan?"     

"I feel this is too much of a stretch" - said the girl, who was beautiful and had a body that miraculously could match Tsunade's.     

"I agree, but at the same time I'm curious" - said another girl - "It's not every day we get this chance"     

"I agree with Onee-chan" - said one girl almost completely identical to the other.     

"If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it, Hikari" - said another woman - "This doesn't change things at all"     

"No... I will..." - sighed the woman named Hikari - "I was just hoping my first time would be special"     

"Like they told you, you don't have to force yourself," said the first woman. "This is our decision, you don't have to go through this"     

"No... I've made up my mind" - said Hikari seriously.     

"Sorry, Hikari" - said the girls. They felt guilty for having forced their friend's decision.     

"You don't have to apologize... I understand why you're doing this... - sighed the girl as she shook her head. She knew that her friends were doing this for two reasons, one because they wanted it and two because they wanted her to open up a little bit to others and who knows, maybe get someone to help her forget all those bad events in her life.     

"Remember, Hikari... we will always be by your side" - said the group leader.     

"Thank you, Tina-chan" - smiled Hikari as the others hugged her.     

* * * * *     

"What did you call me for, Tsunade-san?" - asked Kurama as he looked at the beautiful blonde woman - "By the way... where is Shizune-san?"     

"Answering your questions in order, one, I called you because I wanted to know how your conversation with Shikaku ended regarding my requests and two, she is organizing the ingredients I asked for to cure the old man" - responded the Senju Princess.     

"I see... and in response to you, everything went well" - the redheaded man nodded - "The Uzumaki clan will pay 80% of your debt while the other 20% will come from Konoha and the money saved from your clan"     

"Why are you paying so much?!" - exclaimed Tsunade in surprise. Now she was feeling guilty for having Iived so wrongly.     

"Because in spite of everything, you are still a member of the Uzumaki Clan and as such, we must help you," Kurama replied as he gave her a smile. "You are the heiress of Mito-sama, an Uzu princess, that gives you the same rights as Kushi-chan"     

"Thank you..." - murmured the blonde as she shed a tear, knowing she still had a clan.     

"Besides... now that I paid so much money... your ass is mine" - smiled the redhead as he winked at the woman.     

Tsunade blushed at this, though she burst out laughing after a few seconds - "Thanks for that, I needed that laugh"     

"Who said I was joking?" - asked Kurama as he gave her an innocent look - "I'm serious now... do you need anything else?"     

"In fact" - the blonde agreed - "I want you to help me get a few things to start Pakura's treatment, although these can only be obtained in Uzu"     

"Hmm... I have no problem" - the redheaded man nodded.     

"By the way... where is she?" - asked Tsunade in surprise because she didn't see her anywhere.     

"She met Temari and Kankuro, the sons of Rasa," sighed the young Uzumaki.     

"I see..." - mumbled Tsunade as she shook her head. She and Shizune knew about Pakura's life because during the trip back, the three of them opened up to each other because they felt they had gone through similar situations, so they quickly became friends - "That explains a few things... I guess the treatment will have to wait, for now I'll concentrate on the old man"     

"If you need anything else, you call me," nodded the ginger as he withdrew.     

* * * * *     

Kurama was walking towards the entrance of the hospital when he saw a group of women block his way - "Excuse me, I need to go home"     

"Sorry for the interruption, but we need to talk to you, Sekkusu Kami-sama" - said the leader of the group.     

"Wait a second, I know you" - said Kurama as he looked carefully at the woman - "In fact, I know all of you, except the girl at the back... Is she new?"     

"I'm glad to hear that you remember us" - smiled the nurse - "And no, she's not new... it's just that she was in the bathroom when we parted"     

"I see... a pleasure" - said Kurama as he nodded.     

"Likewise" - said the girl in confusion. She hoped he was someone else... perverted, maybe like Jiraiya.     

"Surprised that Sekkusu Kami-sama can have a conversation with a woman for more than 5 minutes without throwing himself at her like an animal in heat? - the redheaded man asked.     

The woman was surprised as she wondered if he had thought that out loud.     

"No... it's just that you are easy to read, Nurse-chan" - smiled Kurama and in the process, brought out a big blush on the woman - "Hmm... she's just innocent... I don't understand what she's doing with you... no offense"     

"None taken," said the leader as the others nodded. They had to admit that they weren't the most innocent women, although they weren't promiscuous either, it's just that there were times when they wanted some action and didn't have the time for a full-time relationship, nor did it help that all the men who went after them were crotch-thinking idiots.     

"Anyway... what do you need?" - Kurama asked as he looked at the women.     

"We want what we asked for last time," answered the leader.     

"Be more specific" - sighed the redhead - "It happened a while ago and I've been fucking busy all this time, I only remember a few important things from that time"     

"Oh... sorry about that" - said the woman - "We want you to give us the opportunity to pass through your divine hands"     

"Sure" - nodded the redhead.     

"That was easier than I thought" - answered another girl.     

"As if I could say that!" - exclaimed Kurama as he looked at the nurses - "Look, you're beautiful and all, but I don't have sex with just any woman who asks me. If I did, I would just be a prostitute or something like that and I honestly don't like that idea"     

"I guess we'll go for plan B," sighed the leader.     

"Plan B?" - asked Kurama curiously, only to feel his consciousness begin to wane. "Chloroform... my old enemy..."
