Chapter 1: In the Beginning
---------------------------------------------------------------
It was late… the once brightened sky with a few clouds now shined with the white light of the moon. A few people walked outside of their houses, making large shadows. All of the hidden village of Konoha was lit up. Kaiya was looking out her window, watching the clouds pass muffling the light of the moon. A few monsters made by her older brother Seizu were keeping her awake. She only knew she was safe in the night by looking out to the moon. She shook her head trying to make sure she would stay awake. Her long brunette hair shifted from side to side, and as she fell back against her pillow, sleep slowly overtook her… her hazel eyes close
A blonde boy sat alone on a small swing set. He felt completely alone in the world. Ever since he could remember, people kept calling him demon, chasing him around town, and had felt near death situations with assassins. Only a man named Sarutobi didn’t act like a barbarian toward him. He was told to go to him whenever he needed help. Naruto thought things were looking up until he was threatened if he ever came to the Hokage’s office again he would be in a world of hurt. The only person that was ever nice to him was beyond those doors, and he had been denied even that. Now he had been kicked out of the orphanage, and forced to live life on the streets. The world seems a lot colder when you got no one… he thought. However, through this boy’s denied existence and frown shined a smile saying, “One day, I will prove them all wrong… I am not a demon… I am a person… I will save them all one day, and then they will have to acknowledge my existence.” He stood up and walked into the center of the village to find a suitable place to sleep.
As Naruto walked by the Hyuuga compound, he stopped at the front gate. It was enormous, but that wasn’t why he wanted to go in the building. A few days ago, there had been a small girl who had been extremely nice but shy to him. She had offered him a flower, but he thought it had been a trick to lure him into a trap by the villagers. But now, everyday since, he has noticed her watching him at the swing, so he decided to return the favor. Naruto snuck out every night to watch the compound, where the girl lived so maybe one day he could say he was sorry. Though unknown to him, the very same girl watched from her room as he looked up at it. The dark blue haired girl watched as Naruto sat down in front of the compound. She really wished she could talk to him, but if her father found out, well, she didn’t want to know what would happen then.
--------Flashback----------
Hiashi grunted as Hinata returned from her their normal walk routine. His daughter had been near the demon child… and this would not stand. He would eliminate this problem now, before she would become any worse.
“Hinata! I do not want to see you near that boy again!”
“B-but father, I-“
“No! There is no excuse to be near that wretched child!!”
---------End Flashback------------
Hinata could not understand what the boy had done wrong. Did he hurt someone, had he been a thief, what could he possibly have done to make the entire village hate him so? It did not make sense to her, but then again at age six; what did she know?
Naruto finally decided it was time to find a place to stay. He stood up and paid his respects to the girl by bowing his head. He turned away and smiled. Wonder if I will meet her again he thought and took off running. As he turned the corner he ran into a half-drunken crowd of men who had been up trying to forget the events of what happened that day six years ago.
“I-I’m sorry… didn’t me—“
One of them noticed the all too familiar yellow hair. He clenched his fist.
“It’s him… the demon… Now I can finally repay you for what you did to my dad!”
On the other side of the village a young boy sat on top the monument of all the hokages. He moved his hands through the short silver hair on his head, and smiled as he watched the clouds roll overhead. His sporadic restlessness at night allowed him to watch the moonlit sky, which he thoroughly enjoyed. However the other him locked up inside enjoyed another sort of fun- pranks. He looked down from the monument, watching the late night citizens walk by. He had recently found a new hobby, spying. He reasoned that spying isn’t bad when you aren’t using it for blackmail, so he always spied on people. He had learned a way to walk on surfaces, even if it was vertical, or upside down.
Ein
He looked up. Only three people bothered to know his name. Two of them died in the event six years ago. He wished he had known what they looked like… ask them why they gave him this name. What had his clan’s name been? Where did he come from? But they were gone… the only family he knew he had had at one point was gone. Only the third person remained to haunt him for the rest of his life.
C’mon Ein… let me out…
He blocked out the voice, trying to watch the streets of the village. He knew the consequences of letting his other half out. It would start out as a simple greeting. Then his alter ego would make a prank. Then the definition of a prank would escalate to death. He would not let him out again.
I know it looks bad… but mom didn’t just have you. She had us. Now let me out…
Ein’s head felt like it was going to explode. He gripped in sheer agony of the amount of pressure squeezing his brain. He knew it would not stop; he had to surrender his will, or he would surely go mad himself with the headache’s pain racking his entire nervous system.
Good…
Naruto took the blows one at a time. He had learned it was better not fight back. Just lie still and make them think your dead, he always told himself. But these men were different. They weren’t here to beat him into a pulp. They wanted to make sure that the deed was done. One drew a knife out of his pocket.
“Now no one has to look at your horrible face again, demon…”
He had never thought about it until now but why did they call him demon. He was usually too concerned about making sure they were wrong and proving that he was better. The though never occurred to him why. Oh well… At least the world would be rid of a demon like me…
“Da five of ya need ta chillax a bit. Hehehe…” a voice came from behind.
Suddenly one of the men screamed. The other four turned around. A small boy with dark silver hair, red eyes, and red chakra blades attached to his wrists and feet was giggling uncontrollably. dripped from the end of his right blade, and his right foot blade was covered in blood. Naruto watched as his savior ripped apart another one. The three other men screamed in terror and ran as fast as he could. Naruto felt a growing fear emerge from the back of his mind. He is going to kill me…
“Ya pretty damn lucky aren’tcha kid? Had I shown up any sooner, ya might be dead…”
It was intended to relieve the kid from his fear. However, the blonde boy just kept backing up and ran off in the other direction.
“Bah… Ein-kun I don’t understand how you enjoy watching these people. I me-“
A kunai interrupted the boy’s speech. He easily caught it in between his two fingers on his right hand.
“Hey… who threw that thing?!” he yelled.
A figure in a mask dropped down from the building below. Her black coat made the boy realize who it was. Ein had thoroughly enjoyed watching these people in masks and black coats; they always seemed like a challenge to him.
“Ah… ANBU… I’ve been wanting to fight one for sometime now.”
A muffled voice came through the mask. It was high, and judging by the curves of the black coat, you could tell easily that is was a woman.
”Einjeru really has no control when you are released. I am so, so sorry Ein… I wish I had been there for you.”
“How do ya know our name, miss ANBU?”
“You aren’t the only person who doesn’t sleep at night…”
The boy seemed a bit confused. What did that had to do with her knowing their name? They had never met each other, nor did Ein ever speak his full name. But it didn’t matter. The boy would have so much fun fighting her.
“Miss ANBU… ya know ya shouldn’t say both our names, or his name, when he isn’t out. Name’s Jeru… And I got an itch to fight…” Jeru lunged himself at the woman, but she easily held sidestepped her opponent.
“Hold still; I wanna cut ya!!!” Jeru yelled out. He slid on the ground until he came to a stop. He jumped out at her. “Hell Elemental: En Gatsu Chi Katanas!!” Jeru’s blades glistened even redder and extended.
To the ANBU, an eternity had passed in between the boy’s attacks. He was simply overpowered by her speed and strength. She performed a few seals and whispered, “Ichuu Kase no Jutsu…”
Jeru came to a halt the moment his foot hit the ground one foot in front of her. His blades disappeared, and his eyes returned to their natural green color. The ANBU caught him as he slowly fell unconscious. She took off her mask, showing her green eyes and flowing silver hair, matching his almost perfectly.
“I am finally strong enough for you, otouto… I can finally help you…” Tears began to trickle down her face. “Thank Kami… You are still alive and well…”
Later that night at the Hokage office.
“You were to find and bring in the killer of the victims.”
“Yes Hokage…”
“Why do you bring me this boy?”
Kasumi flicked her long white hair over her shoulder. She knew what would happen if she were to reveal her brother’s doing, but she went directly to the Hokage for this situation. He had been basically a father to her during her training, molding her into the kunoichi she is today.
“Hokage… the murderer… the child…”
“Let me guess… are one in the same?”
She almost made eye contact with him but she was too ashamed to do it. Sarutobi became even more curious. Normally he would have sent the boy to the mental ward for examination, but something about her awkwardness toward him made him do otherwise.
“What relationship do you have with this boy?”
She turned to her brother, who was sound asleep. She imagined that Ein was never able to get a peaceful rest because of his alter self. Another tear crawled down her face.
“Hokage-sama… what do you know of the Sumisu clan?”
“Actually quite a bit. They are the Yamanakas’ cousins with a bloodline ability. Their kekkei genkei, the Ichuu Kaisei, enables them to destroy the mind. They cannot succumb to genjutsu, nor are they susceptible to personality instability. Their minds are completely perfect. They are also able to tap into the other elements known as heaven and hell.”
Kasumi nodded, but still did not receive the answer she needed.
“’There is nothing on this planet that is perfect…’”
Sarutobi looked confused by her statement.
“My father was trying to tell me why we aren’t perfect… The first born in a family of our clan is born like me. Perfect, as you would say, completely in control of their mind and able perform mind techniques…”
“And that is wrong why?”
“If another is born in a family… They have a 2 chance of moving into the other side of the bloodline, having a split personality-one that takes on the missing properties of the other, such as killing intent. It can trigger at anytime, and is almost completely hidden to even our abilities to manipulate another’s mind. The trigger in most cases is succumbing to control or complete meltdown of the first mind. In that case, the second mind is activated as a failsafe for the person’s survival.”
The Hokage walked back and forth, thinking about this new information. He had never heard of it before. He knew the Sumisu clan quite well, but he never heard of anything like this.
“Why is there no data on this?”
“Because our elders had the ability to sense the second mind. During the wars, the number of elders slowly declined and the ability died out. But when they did have the ability, those with the other side of the bloodline, they instantly send that person to the grave.” ”
Sarutobi eyes widened at the horror of the realization. It made so much more sense… the clan’s ultimate destruction.
“So the attack by the Kyuubi several years ago…”
“Was not why my clan fell. My clan fell because of the alternate bloodline’s sudden up rise. Most of our clan is peaceful; therefore, most of the attackers were from those who never saw the mind alter coming. It is unknown of what set it off but… We were too worried about the Kyuubi to notice that our bloodline was failing us. The percentage was increasing at this time and… my mother and father…”
“…Were attacked by them…”
Kasumi nodded again, more tears coming to her face.
“I remember what my mother’s last words were… ‘My Einjeru… Stay safe… mommy will be back in a bit. Kasumi, I expect to see Einjeru happy when we come back.’”
Sarutobi gave Kasumi a warm hug. She felt at ease and began to rationalize her emotions again.
“I’m okay… I am more worried about otouto-chan…”
“So is he one of the…”
“Yes, I think he does have the Ichuu Kawari, as I have named it. He has many of the basic symptoms… insomnia… never speaking to others… a darker appearance around him, and full access to the hell element.”
“This boy can use the hell element?! Bu-t how… he ca-“
“Don’t call that monster otouto-chan!!”
Sarutobi was taken aback by the girl’s command. Rage filled her eyes as he glanced into them. There was nothing with more heat in them than that of an angered woman.
“I apologize it’s just that… well…”
Suddenly Ein made a soft moan. Kasumi rushed to his side, holding his shoulders. She would be the first thing he sees when he awakes.
“ANBU bitch… what did she do to me?”
Kasumi slowly let go of him and took a few steps back into the Hokage’s desk.
“You… your not otouto…”
“My name is Jeru, miss ANBU… now where were we?”
Sarutobi instantly put Jeru into a grapple. He did not know what was happening but knew that he had no way of stopping a hell elemental technique.
“What are you doing, old man?! Get off…”
“Quickly Kasumi!!! Do something!!”
But Kasumi was already running a few hand seals. When she finished she placed her hand on Jeru’s head. A seal in the form of bird wings appeared on Jeru’s forehead. He instantly went unconscious. Sarutobi let his grasp go and fell backwards. He held his head.
“If that boy had set off a hell element technique… Wait, what did you do to him? He has a seal on his; and I haven’t seen it for 20 years…”
She waited for the results. The seal began to glow white, signifying its deed being done. Kasumi sighed in relief as she slowly slumped to the floor.
“It’s a Ichuu Kinko Inkan- a seal to trap the current mind inside, working for only a few weeks. For most people it would just leave them in a… vegetative state. But seeing as otouto has two minds…”
“His other one will take over. Good work.” Sarutobi sat up and walked back to his chair in his desk.
“I have good reason to send this boy to his death as well…”
“Ho-Hokage-sama?! What do you mean?!?!” Kasumi yelled slamming her hands on the desk.
“Relax Kasumi-san… I said I had good reason to. But I have a better reason not to. You are relieved of your position as ANBU.”
“W-WHAT?! BU-BU---“
Sarutobi simply raised his hand to her face.
“And as Hokage, I sentence this boy to life imprisonment,” Kasumi was about to lunge at him, “under his loving family.”
Kasumi still wanted to lunge at Sarutobi, so she did, crying into his chest, hugging him as tight as she could.
“Hey, no tears. Kunoichi never reveal their tears.” Kasumi stood straight up and wiped the tears from her eyes.
“I will assign him a place to stay, as I will need you to be temporary ANBU when needed.” Kasumi nodded. “Also he will start Academy soon. I want him as a Genin; he is very capable, and has much potential.” Kasumi nodded again.
“Hokage-sama… is there anything else?”
“There is one more thing. You know the truth of the attack of the Kyuubi. The seal and the boy?” Kasumi nodded her head, as many of the elders often spoke of the “demon child.”
“Hokage-sama… what does he have to do with anything?”
“You know the boy should be treated as an equal right.”
“Yes, but others don’t tend to see him as a hero. He has the greatest burden put on him… possibly worse than otouto.”
“Then you wouldn’t mind having him live in the same apartment as him, correct?”
Kasumi shook her head. She was sure Ein would enjoy the company, though he doubted he would say much. Even as a baby, he had been quiet and collected.
“Then retrieve him. Do you know what he looks like? He has a few unique qualities: blonde hair, blue eyes, birth marks that look like whiskers, and a specific seal on his stomach.”
She had remembered seeing the boy when she had finally decided to restrain her brother. He had run into the woods in blind fear.
“Hokage-sama… I was wondering if I could… be otouto’s… teacher?”
The Hokage smiled at this question.
“Since you two are the last of your kind… I suppose you could teach him. You are to be assigned to be his guardian throughout his academy days, and I will make you his Jounin teacher. Though due to extenuating circumstances,” Sarutobi eyed the boy, “you will be limited to two students instead of three. I am sure you are capable enough even when shorted one man. You are one of the best ANBU I appointed.”
Kasumi nodded in response. She realized that several missions were going to be harder because of the handicap, but she wanted her brother to be the strongest on his own. She began to wonder who her other student could be.
“Now find Uzumaki Naruto as your final mission as ANBU. That’s an order!”

“It’s a Ichuu Kinko Inkan- a seal to trap the current mind inside, working for only a few weeks. For most people it would just leave them in a… vegetative state. But seeing as otouto has two minds…”
“His other one will take over. Good work.” Sarutobi sat up and walked back to his chair in his desk.
“I have good reason to send this boy to his death as well…”
“Ho-Hokage-sama?! What do you mean?!?!” Kasumi yelled slamming her hands on the desk.
“Relax Kasumi-san… I said I had good reason to. But I have a better reason not to. You are relieved of your position as ANBU.”
“W-WHAT?! BU-BU---“
Sarutobi simply raised his hand to her face.
“And as Hokage, I sentence this boy to life imprisonment,” Kasumi was about to lunge at him, “under his loving family.”
Kasumi still wanted to lunge at Sarutobi, so she did, crying into his chest, hugging him as tight as she could.
“Hey, no tears. Kunoichi never reveal their tears.” Kasumi stood straight up and wiped the tears from her eyes.
“I will assign him a place to stay, as I will need you to be temporary ANBU when needed.” Kasumi nodded. “Also he will start Academy soon. I want him as a Genin; he is very capable, and has much potential.” Kasumi nodded again.
“Hokage-sama… is there anything else?”
“There is one more thing. You know the truth of the attack of the Kyuubi. The seal and the boy?” Kasumi nodded her head, as many of the elders often spoke of the “demon child.”
“Hokage-sama… what does he have to do with anything?”
“You know the boy should be treated as an equal right.”
“Yes, but others don’t tend to see him as a hero. He has the greatest burden put on him… possibly worse than otouto.”
“Then you wouldn’t mind having him live in the same apartment as him, correct?”
Kasumi shook her head. She was sure Ein would enjoy the company, though he doubted he would say much. Even as a baby, he had been quiet and collected.
“Then retrieve him. Do you know what he looks like? He has a few unique qualities: blonde hair, blue eyes, birth marks that look like whiskers, and a specific seal on his stomach.”
She had remembered seeing the boy when she had finally decided to restrain her brother. He had run into the woods in blind fear.
“Hokage-sama… I was wondering if I could… be otouto’s… teacher?”
The Hokage smiled at this question.
“Since you two are the last of your kind… I suppose you could teach him. You are to be assigned to be his guardian throughout his academy days, and I will make you his Jounin teacher. Though due to extenuating circumstances,” Sarutobi eyed the boy, “you will be limited to two students instead of three. I am sure you are capable enough even when shorted one man. You are one of the best ANBU I appointed.”
Kasumi nodded in response. She realized that several missions were going to be harder because of the handicap, but she wanted her brother to be the strongest on his own. She began to wonder who her other student could be.
“Now find Uzumaki Naruto as your final mission as ANBU. That’s an order!”

I can't believe I did it... I finally started my own Fan Fic Next chapter: Woods are scary, but a roommate is scarier! Any suggestions or places where I can get translations would be great.
