Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuki overheared something outside her door but tried to see what it was till an echo came to her, it wasnt any words but an odd sound,"Togeti......I think something is outside lets go check it out." Carefully she slipped her shoes on and climbed down the window careful not to make so much noise but she hits a weak spot and starts to fall but stops in mid air. Shocked but glad she was alright she thought Togetic caught her but it was above her so the question was what caught her, looking down it was a purple ball glowing as bright as a firefly, it put her down and started to wave around wanting her to follow it....like most kids she was curious and followed the glow to the pier when it formed into a large feather.

"You....you want me to get on?......where are you taking me." Yuki gets on and is thrusted in the air heading above Skyline City as the lights and people went their normal ways below, she looks on till they get close to the old clearing she was injured at but deeper to a large lake where the feather took her down gently but she was very confused at this point,"I dont understand, why did you take me here I'm not suppose to be here and....what! what are you-" the glow went into the water and where it dived it glowed radiant purple and as she looked closer she was starting to see and image in the water's suface, as it got clear the reflection shocked Yuki as a woman in a purple dress with a moon on her forehead and the same marks she had on her face.....it was the older version of Yuki in the reflection.

"Dear sweet child I have summoned you here for an important messege....this might be hard to understand but I am you ten years from now, I am Queen Yuki, rular to the Shadow Realm and leader to the capital city of Lokchaos....your home far away." Yuki trembled seeing the image at the verge of crying,"Your me?! but thats impossible I'm here now and you are-" "I'm you in the future.....I know this is hard to understand now but it need to be known now before you forget the realm you were born in, the family you were raised in....if all that is forgotten the Shadow Realm will be in peril with the royal blood gone from existence.....Yuki...little Yuki......I tell you this messege and it shall help with the troubles you have now." She was shaken beyond this point but if what she was seeing was real it would answer some many questions Senente was refusing to say to her as for protection,"Ok yes I want to know many things now that you mention it, these marks, this moon why am I different then the ones around me.....why is it I sense theres something more I'm not getting." The reflection sways her head and smiles,"Very well my dear why dont you step into the water and I shall show you everything you have been wanting to know and what you really are Yuki Nightshade."

Yuki was spooked to go in knowing that the lake was deep and someone died in it but she was trusting the reflection and placed a foot in the water and discovered it floated on top of the surface, feeling balance she walked on the glowing pace right to the center of the lake, as she progress her body was surrounded by a purple aura illuminating her entire body in a glow showing her eyes radiant red. As she walked along the water she was seeing all the things she had in the shadow realm how she wasnt a human but a shadow kitsune having the powers to the darkness and shadows, waves of glowing water came at her as she danced with the walls of water almost like a unique ballet but as she was dancing learning more she was starting to change, ears of a fox and a tail were visible when she spinned feeling one with the energy.


Outside the clearing Naruto was out late with not much to do at his how till a glow caught his eyes seeing where the lake was a purple glow and thought to investigate,"The lake is glowing now this must be just a illusion or something.....but still...." He make it to the lake but stays hidden looking at the lake noticing a what looked like a fox dancing on the water but taking another check it was a small girl and was starting to think something perplexed,"Is...is that no! it cnt be.......Yuki?...on top of the water but she has fox ears and a tail...what am I seeing?" Naruto crept a little closer till Yuki noticed him and stops and starts to say something in her naitive Lokchaion language and the water burst up around her shooting the energy to the sky high enough for the city to see, it started to shape into something and form a cresant moon and a ring of flowers......the Nightshade crest, was formed illuminating bright.


He looks up surprised and looks back to see the wall of wter be blown away by Yuki little hand but she changed drastically,she was adorn in the imperial for of her palace gown with the crest on her necklace along with Kakashi's pendant,with that her sleeves draped stretching almost three feet, her headband was gone with her moon exposed as it shined with her silver tiara with a small gem of black onyx. "Wha.....Yuki!.....what just happened or....is that really you?!" Naruto was beyond confused and mezmorized of Yuki's transformation and realizing the truth she was hiding......his little buddy was actually more than what she was....a princess of another realm."

Yuki opened her eyes to see she was surrounded by a orb of her energy but wasnt realizing it was her doing it,"Sensen?.....I heared her voice is she..." The energy clear and she saw her clothes were now a flowing imperial dress and she was standing on the surface of the water, she spots Naruto on the ground staring at her in pure fright and it worried her,"Naruto! its me Yuki....why are you frightened for....Naruto!" just as she tried to reach to him he shoves her yelling to keep away scurring as far as he could,Yuki was now starting to wonder what was going on, her friend was afraid of her and she was changed.....something was different till she looks to the sky and spots the Nightshade crest hovering above and feels tuned with its power. Just as she looked back down she spots Senente on the ground and screams out her name running toward her touching her hand os the sleeve draped on her,"Sensen please wake up no! I didnt want to hurt anyone again please wake up I'm begging you please Sensen!" Yuki tried to talk to her but she was still speaking Lokchaoin which was the reason Naruto stepped away because he couldnt understand her and thought she was going to hurt her. She stayed by Senente's side till she started to come to a little which gave Yuki relief she was ok but Naruto came from behind and grabbed her holding a kunai to her throat now angry,"Alright who the hell are you and what have you done with Yuki! answer me or I will cut your throat." Yuki tried to squirm out of his grasp but he was gripping tight on her small body she couldnt break free, she begged him to let her go and that she was Yuki and she was not trying to hurt anyone but speaking her language Naruto grew angry unable to understand,"Cry all you want you demon princess but I know Yuki and she would never have this kind of power especially this dark, you better tell where she is or you'll drop dead right here." She was crying hard till her tears became blood which was normal for shadow being when there beyond scared or greiving but it only happened back in her realm but fused with her power she was like it was back home, continue to cry Yuki screamed out Senente's name as much as she could but her mouth was pronouncing it wrong and she was terrified Naruto was going to kill her even though she was Yuki only dressed different and her eyes were glowing purple......it wasnt enough for him to put her down. He promised he was to protect Yuki when out of Senente's sight but he wasnt realizing the little princess girl he had a kunai to the throat was the same one he was sworn to protect even with the cresent moon pentant she was wearing wasnt convincing him even though he saw Kakashi give it to her, his rage for Yuki was bringing him to the edge to mean what he threatened.

She took off the coat and slipped on her night shirt,"What a mess......this was surely something else, all this time and I didnt know....that explains many things." Yuki didnt want to believe anything she saw but it was as real as the strange new clothing and the standing on water. However....she was mostly upset Naruto didnt believe she was actually her and he was close to killing her, she feels her throat thinking the cold steel of the kunai was still there ready to pierce it." Yuki slid into bed thinking if he would ever think she was the same Yuki he knew but feared he would reject her and go back to where she was in the beginning. By the time the sun came up it was very quiet and she got up on her own but stayed in her room not even bothering to come down for breakfest, she didnt want to be part of anything just stayed in her room clutching the jacket as if it was a lifeline crying softly,"Naruto.....I dont want you to think I'm a moon freak as well....you were kind to me and told me that I was different but I should be treated the same.....please still acvept me as a little friend." Yuki sat sobbing keeping herself in soletude so much she locked her door tight making sure she was alone and noone could get in, once feeling alone she layed by the window holding on the jacket tight as she cried thinking Naruto would never want to see her again seeing what she really was.

Yuki was stunned for a moment, what Senente had told her that she was older at one point and that she was a mother as well?......her world had seemed to have crashed down onto her that it was hard to tell what was all a lie,"I....I was older once....that would explain the reflection I was looking at it was my true self coming to me but I'm nine years old....amd Everst was....she's my."

Tears were coming down her face as she started to tremble but rage was starting to brew to the point she snapped,she screamed tossing things around destroying anything she could get her hands on till she felt there was no need to do it anymore." Panting she yelled out from her door she wasnt coming and heared the front door shut leaving her locked in her room shaking at everything that has happened, she knew now she was turned back as a child somehow and she was trying to start life over again to keep from becoming evil apparently what last night was what was ment by going back to the sinister way. "All those dreams I had...they were memories of my past life and now the friend I knew as a sister is actually.....this isnt right!.....I just thought I was from another realm and things would be better for me and they were, almost, now that I know I must of died and this is a second chance its not the same anymore....I was older once but now a child....why did it come to this." "Its true what has happened is all a surprise to you my dear....I think you've finally learned the truth."



Yuki looks around hearing a voice and feels disoriented passing out. She wait in a strange place covered by light clouds around and stars in the sky,"What happened what is this place?" Shiro appears before Yuki petting her head,"I've brought you to where I rule...this is the crystal nova kingdom my dear and I;m shiro the guardian to the nova and the one who granted you a second life." "But why? what happened that I had to start up life again....please tell me." Shiro thinks for a moment and touches Yuki's forehead showing her the past when she attacked Senente but cast a spell sacrificing her life to save her,"You were pure hatred wanting to kill someone who wanted to guide you the right path but withing that hate your heart still had guilt and you sacrificed your life to take the pain away from her so she didnt suffer.....thats a pure deed you did and I granted you a second chance to learn fresh and grow to become great."

Yuki was filled with tears finding the truth hurt her so much she didnt know if she could handle the truth, Shiro sees her pain and decides to do something that would bend what was done but it would bring Yuki comfort that she didnt need to live on knowing what happened in her past,"Yuki.....sweet innocent Yuki, your pain is great now and I hate to see you this way I've decided to change things.....what was your past is your past and I wanted you to start out fresh but what has happened was filled you with despair and lonliness......I cant see a child go though so much."

Shiro wiped Yuki's tears as she looked up to her eyes swollen in tears,"I know what I will do.....Yuki, I'm waving off the spell I cast on you so you dont have to be fused with the Nova, you will remain nine years old and grow up just like a human and live your life happy, as for Everest she is still your daughter but thats where I come in...I am erasing everything you knew....your first life will cease to exist....it is time you had a happy life and as a last wish I'm going to make things right."

With that Shiro places a hand on Yuki's forehead and commenced with changing her memories and creating false ones to help her cope, while her first life and the facy she had a daughter were erased she made it that Raiku and Senente were her adoptive parents rescuing her frim her realm from the wars going on and took them for a safer life. "My child, this will be much better for you to grow up happy, listen to your parents and let them guide you to use your power for good....now child you will go home...I wish you a happy new life...farewell Yuki Nightshade." Yuki is blinded by light and as it dimmed she was back in her room,Raiku heared her making noises and the sounds of crashing objects,"Yuki?....Yuki! open the door right now!" Unable to open the door he slams right into it breaking in.

Yuki was in a dazed unable to reconized what happened but as she looked down there was a creame colored envelope sealed with a silver nova star. "Yuki! what happened in here your room is a disater Yuki." he sees her crying and stops,"Whats the matter sweetie? why are you crying?" Yuki looked at him and she was processing in her mind that Raiku was her father and started to run at him screaming,"Daddy?....daddy!.....I was scared." Raiku didnt know what was wrong but caught her as she ran to him and sat down trying to comfort her as she cried on his chest,"Its alright....dont cry anymore............daddy's got you." Raiku never knew how to be a dad having to take care of his younger brother this became second nature to him and the time to be a fater kicked inside him,seeing Yuki cry out daddy and shaking he knew that he had to be a father to Yuki and Everest for everything they've been through. He rocks her gently quietly shushing calming her down to take her fear away.

Shiro was right to grant this last wish and with it left the sealed
envelope explaining everything....Yuki was still a shadow kitsune but life wise she was a normal nine year old that was missing the love of a father and mother.

Raiku looked over to the girls keeping a smile not to alert them,"Say why dont you two go out and play while me and Senente talk." They both nod together and head outside where they find Togeti and play keep away for a little bit though with them keep away ment climbing......anything,Yuki gets ahead of Everest making faces at her,"Haha try and catch me now." she says as she slide down the pier under the legs but she sees a poliwag with her and spooks it, shooting out water the blast knocked her off and she was about to fall before seeing a flash of orange catch her. "I come to say hello and already your in more trouble.....hows it going foxy?" Yuki looks up eyes widened,"Naruto! you came to see me I missed you so much." her excited was high for a moment but she realized what happened a few nights ago and she looked to the ground, he looks at her,"Hey whats the matter I wanted to see you and your upset....oh......those nights ago isnt it." He squats down and picks her up her thinking he was going to punish her started to cry but he hugs her tight. "Yuki....what happened in the clearing happened....its not your fault, I never saw something like that before and I was terrified." He started to tear up thinking back how he nearly slit her thoat thinking she was an imposter,"Please...will you forgive me for what I almost did, I was confused and when I saw with those ears and tail I didnt reconize you.....Saskuke told me what had happened an that you were sent to my house and you tried everything to have me reconize you.....I'm so sorry I judged you like that." Yuki took hold of his hand and she smiled,"People get judged when they are seen at first but when you get to know them a friendship can blossem,I forgive you, its true I was speaking Lokchaion so you had no idea what I was saying to you...its all behind us." Naruto smiled at her and they both found Everest and all four of them played with Naruto it, seeing the two girls run and Togeti hovering away while he made weird faces at them was something to see, for Yuki she was glad to see him again.

All three go to wash their hands with the girls again mildly fighting but just pounce each other till after they all finish they rush down the living room till they were called again, things were acting almost like it was before the inccident but it was Shiro who was proud the most. As the children played they were being watched many worlds away on the crystal nova through a glass ball,Shiro gazed into it watching how the change in Yuki improved then what she saw awhile back as she watched everything from Yuki being teased at school to the severe beating from Nasagah.....she saw everything but as she continued to watch she saw great improvement. The ball went back in the past and saw the day Yuki met Naruto and saw there pinky promise of friendship and her waivivg goodbye to him on the boat,"That......that is what I see a pure friendship, even different in age but has to go through the same things each other, keep your friend close Yuki.....he will help you as well as all of the friends you made with is group....keep them close." Shiro looks away satisfied knowing what she did was right......life for Yuki was for the best to grow up happy and true to the heart. Back in Skyline, Yuki looked up to the sky in a trance gazing at a bright star shooting in the sky, everest looked up as well,"Oh wow a shooting star!.....Yuki? do you see it?" She looked at Yuki and shook her till she came back to reality and all of them went into the dining room.

When it was the day to paint the room Raiku set everything into the hall leaving the room completely empty,"You know, I think it would be fun if the two of you paint.....after all its gonna be you guts room have some fun with it." He came back with two buckets of purple paint and two brushes for them to finish the last side wall since he already started on the others earkier, before leaving he made sure the floor was covered knowing little kids and paint it has its way to get onto things its not suppose to. Everest and Yuki took the brushed and started to paint mostly playing with it then started to actually do it right,"I like it when we can color...its like a huge paper and these are crayons....big purple crayons!." Yuki yelled out laughing as they continued, it was all good till Everest went to reach a side and a drip of paint hit Yuki on the cheek,"Hey why are you painting me I'm not the wall stupid!." "Dont call me stupid Yuki you the stupid one for being in the way." "No! your stupid, whoever says someone is stupid is the real stupid person." The girls started growling at each other calling the other names and started to push and shove getting physical, like in the morning they went back to getting territorial pushing each other and pulling hair then Yuki loses her footing and falls back right into the bucket getting stuck, Everest laughed seeing Yuki tried to get out her bottom covered in paint,"Haha! you got stuck in the bucket and now your butt is purple too." Hissing Yuki saw her brush and threw it straight at her face painting it, Yuki fell down laughing as Everest's face turned red and screamed pouncing her. It turned from painting the room to becoming a paint war as the two flung it at each other till they tired out and stopped to look at each other and started laughing, seeing the other covered in paint was funny to the point they were pointing at each other how Yuki couldnt see Everest's moon and her not able to see Yuki's marks.....the girls knew they were having fun even if it ment getting dirty.

Yuki waited wrapped in the towel writing a note and sending it off to a pidgy while Everest was in the tub washing up, she came out and shouted for her to come on for her turn and Yuki got up and went in, the water was purple from Everest but it was still hot for her to wash. As she started to shampoo her hair Yuki was overhearing Senente on the phone, she was talking to Kakashi by the sound of it and listened in carefully,"Kakashi....I know its short notice but Raiku and I were going into the city tonight but we cant bring the girls with us, we wanted to have a break from them." "No need to lay it on thin, I know what your getting at you want someone to babysit while youre away, I think Naruto would love to do it." Senente was a little on the edge thinking how mischevious he can be especially how she was rubbing off on him,"Um...well thats the thing....I was hoping you would, Naruto isnt the most great with kids an-" "I understand and......yeah your right about that I'll send Sakura and Saskuke with him....with three babysitters I dont think Yuki and Everest will be a problem." "Oh thank you so much will see you real soon." Yuki heared every word and thought of one thing....nanny, the one back home was really strict and always was an easy push over when she pranked her silly. A smiled creeped on her face as she rised off knowing when Senente and Raiku were gone things were gonna be hell for her unsuspecting babysitters of the night, Yuki finished and got dressed and watched as Raiku moved her bed into Everest's room till the paint dried and they would put both of them in the same room. Looking around for her Naruto dool she hears Raiku yell and curse banging into things,Everest bit him and was still latched to his hand apparently she though he was trying to remove her ribbon on her neck she always wore, it was a dark pink ribbon with a gold moon clasp and a bell that rang everywhere she ran but everytime Senente and Raiku try to take it off her she gets angry and snaps at them....this time he got a little too close. As soon as he calmed himself she hears a tap at the door and it was Pidgy with something on its neck, a can of paint and a note, unfolding the note she reads,"Yuki, got your message awhile back.....be glad i have many colors for my pranks....Naruto" She nods and places it in her room and goes downstairs where Raiku was tending to his hand a little mad Everest actually got him this time, soon the doorbell rang and in Yuki's mind playtime was about to begin. It was all of Kakashi's group ready to watch the girls for the first time, Senente gave them a list and a schedule and advised them that if the girls misbehave mainly Yuki that they were free to use any punishment that fit even telling Raiku's, they hug the girls and leave out with the girls in the hands of Sakura, Saskuke, and of course Yuki's favorite Naruto.
