~Time Skip to Shippuden~ 

A Shinobi Killer... Someone who has the ability to take chakra from others and store it inside their body. Whenever in battle, they can release that chakra in order to make them stronger while taking chakra from their opponent at the same time. A Shinobi Killer can take as much chakra as they want as if it were their life source. 

It's been 2 years since I've left my home that I have called a prison for so long. My purpose was to look for a Darling to make me human so that I can meet my original Darling from back then. After everything I've been doing, I didn't realize that my Darling had been right in front of me the whole time. 

I thought things could work out between us both after everything we've done together, but I was rejected and called the one thing I hate being called most... The thing that I've become... The thing I've tried to disguise myself from... The thing I've been this whole time... 

A monster...

I was set free from a Sanin, Orochimaru, and he had grant me the one thing I've craved. Freedom. Now, I am his bodyguard. Helping him complete his work. But, I wasn't alone. 

Sasuke Uchiha had also joined Orochimaru for power so that one day he can kill his brother, and to beat me one day. To this day, I have not changed from my form. My hair is completely purple and the horns on my head have turned black, and my nails are black ad sharp. 

My clothes look raggedy and my feet are bandaged. Yet, this is what I wore when I was a child. When I became a monster...

At this point, I don't feel any emotion... My form has completely changed. 

During my time in Orochimaru's hideout, enjoying my freedom, I have met most of the other test subjects. Most of them are for me to keep an eye on. Like for an example, there is a young man in a tank, Suigetsu Hozuki. 

Sasuke let him out of the tank a while back and Orochimaru had sent me to go after him. The other one is a woman with red hair. Prisoners escaped from the hideout and I watched Sasuke and Kain track them down. My only job was to observe the to see how storng Sasuke has gotten thank to Orochimaru's training. 

And last, but not least, Jugo. He is an unstable man who cannot control his cursemark. Kimimaro was the only person who could calm down Jugo whenever his he had his outbreaks. But, ever since Kimimaro had passed away, nobody has been able to calm down Jugo whenever he got agrressive. 

One day, Orochimaru sent me to another hideout to check on Jugo. Of course, he attacked me the moment I opened the door. But, I meanaged to calm him down. It wasn't that hard. Now, to this day, Jugo has been calm and protective of me. When an inmate tried to attack me while I was leaving the hideout, Jugo was there to protect me. 

But the thing is... I didn't care about his protection or anybody in the hideout. 

Right now, I am with Orochimaru who is getting ready for his rendezvous point with one of the Akatsuki memebers, Sasori of the Red Sand. "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you, Orochimaru?" I ask him, since I am his guardian. 

"I will be fine. Kabuto will be coming with me. I want you to enjoy yourself while I'm gone. All I ask of you is to make sure nobody escapes. And, if you think it is necessary, deal with them your way." Orochimaru smirks at the end of his sentence. 

"Fine." 

"By the way," Orochimaru walks pass me, but stops beside me and says, "You have gotten a lot stronger over the years. Your form is very unique. I admire it a lot." He gently pats the top of my head. "Take care until I return, Akina. I might come back with another bait for you to feed off of." 

"....." I remain silent and Orochimaru, and Kabuto had left. After they had left, I went outside and stood right outside of the entrance of the hideout to breathe in the fresh air. But, I don't know how to feel when I'm outside. "You should know it's rude to be spying on someone, Ritsu." 

I call him out and Ritsu lands a few feet away from me. He had hopped down from the tree he was sitting on. Nothing about Ritsu has changed except for his height and his hair. It's a bit longer and his clothes are the same, but jus in a bigger size. 

Over the years, we have been distant, but Orochimaru sends us out on stake-out together. Orochimaru says that we make a good pair. Like partners in crime. 

"Where have you been?" I ask Ritsu as he walks over to me. 

"Getting you something to eat." He tosses a body onto the ground. A rouge ninja, but they are unconscious. "I found him lurking around the hideout for 2 days. He was probably waiting for Orochimaru to leave the hideout." 

Ritsu has also been letting me feed on whoever he brings to the hideout. Trespasser, spy, or an escaped experiment. "He's severely wounded." I state the injures on the body. 

"He wasn't that strong to begin with." Ritsu replies. 

I walk over to the body and kneel beside it. Since I don't wear gloves anymore, I'll make this quick. I cup the face into my hands and open my mouth. Chakra flows out of the ninja's eyes and mouth, and into my body, causing my eyes to glow. 

After I have taken his chakra, I drop the body. As usual, it' not enough... "That wasn't even a meal. More like a snack." 

"You should be grateful that I brought him to you." 

"Hmm." I hum and turn around. "Orochimaru and Kabuto will be out for a while. They won't be coming back until this afternoon. I'm going back inside." 

I go back inside the hideout and walk down the hall. Still the same screams that echo in the hallway as the halls are filled with darkness with dimly lit candles. 

As I walk down the hall, I feel an ache beneath my fingernails, causing me to look at them. 'My nails...' They're growing sharper. But why? This feels so familiar... Where have I felt this before? 

This chakra... "Akina... You give her back!" I suddenly hear a voice inside my head, causing me to turn around. There is nobody in the hallway. Why did I hear that just now? Who did that voice belong to? It sounded so close. 

Then I feel a burning in my chest, but I do not grunt. This is hatred... Anger... I can feel it, but I'm not expressing it.

These emotions are not mine! 

"What's the matter with you?" I turn back around to see Sasuke in front of me. That's right. I forgot he's also here, too. "You look like you've seen a ghost." 

"I thought I heard something just now..." I look back don the hall I was facing. Must have been my imagination... After all, I forgot what it's like to feel emotions. 

"Nobody is here except the two of us. You've changed a lot." Sasuke takes a strand of my hair, causing me to look at him emotionlessly. "Is this your true form?" 

"....." 

"It's attractive." He smirks, but then goes back to his poker face. "Where is Orochimaru?" 

"He went out to meet somebody with Kabuto. They won't be back until this afternoon. You're just going to have to wait for your training until he gets back." 

"Then I will train with you." 

"Not a chance. I'll end up killing you like I've almost have from the last few times you trained with me. But, if you really want to," I quickly take out my sword and point the blade to his neck, "Then I won't hold back." 

Sasuke doesn't say a word as he stares down at me, as if he's trying to read me. I sigh and put my sword away and walk down the hall. This is so boring... 

I go back to my room and sit on the ground while placing my sword beside me. I look at my hands again and my nails are still the same as earlier. They've grown sharper, and the burning in my chest is still there. 

What's going on?... 

Wait a second... I've...felt this before... During these years, this has happened before, but I couldn't explain it. I ignored it. I've been ignoring it this entire time. But, the voice I just heard is new. I've never heard a voice shout like that. Especially in my head. 

"What you feel is anger." My eyes are snap upward when I hear a new voice. I front of me is a giant fox with 9 tails and crimson red eyes with the pupil's slit. "We finally meet in person, Shinobi Killer." 

The 9 tails...
