You groaned as you slowly moved your body, but stopped as you made a hissing noise.

'D-damn... I haven't done that Jutsu... in a long time...' You thought while groaning.

"T-this is a hell of a lot worse then when I used Demon's Sacrifice." You muttered. You slowly propped yourself up against a tree, your breathing heavy and ragged.

'Well that's great, I'm on the verge of passing out.' You thought while starting to walk.

'Ne, Cer, how are you?'

Ugh, I feel like... shit...

'Heh, glad it's not just me...'

You then started to walk again, your body screaming to sit down and rest.

'I have no time. I need to get to the others. Soon...'

You continued to shakily walk until you bent over a tree and coughed up blood.

Hime!!

Loki appeared in front of you and picked you up bridal style.

"Put me down Loki." You said weakly.

"In your condition? No, you just rest. I'll take you the rest of the way." He insisted. You sighed before laying your head on his shoulder, slowly closing your eyes.

Dream~ Well, maybe...

You were standing in an all white atmosphere. You didn't even know if you were standing or floating, but you were upright.

"Where am I?" You muttered. You shrugged and started walking in a random direction. You had no idea how long you were walking, but you just continued.

"Duh, excuse me." You heard a voice say. You stopped and looked down to see three yellow blobs.

"Yes?" You asked. Then the tallest one started talking Gibberish to you while pointing in random directions. Once he was done, you just stared at him like this, -.-.

Until you had to open your stupid mouth.

"O.O...

... MMMMMIIIIIINNNNNNIIIIIIOOOOOOONNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! YELLOW BLOBS OF ADORKABLENESS!!!!!!!" You screamed. Apparently you scared them, because they screamed and ran off.

"W-WAIT!!! I JUST WANT... to... hug you... eugh ..." You said dejectedly, dropping your head down. You sadly stood up and resumed walking.

"Man I wish I had some cake." You muttered and SMOOSH, your foot landed in something cold. You looked down and saw a crushed cake underneath your foot.

"What the fuck?" You muttered. You lifted your foot out of the cake and continued walking.

"Okay... that was weird." You said.

'I wonder if it works everytime...' You thought.

"I wish I had a demon sword." You said.

Nothing...

You sighed and started walking until your foot hit something. You looked down and—

"... O.O..."

"WHAT KIND OF MAGIC SORCERY IS THIS SHIT?!?!" You screamed. You heard a deep chuckle which echoed around you, so you couldn't sense where it was coming from. Your guard was immediately up as you looked in all directions.

"Alright, who's there? Let's not play this hide and seek crap." You said, raising your hands to start doing signs.

"I'm surprised you don't remember my voice." He said. Your brows furrowed in confusion.

'Remember?' You thought. He chuckled again.

"How can I blame you? It's been seven years, hasn't it?" He asked. Something clicked in your empty mind.

"Dad...?" You asked hesitantly. Then he appeared out of thin air like Harry Houdini shit. His red shaggy hair and his deep red eyes were still the same. Your eyes widened as tears pricked the corners.

Out of your Mind~

Out in the plains, the rescue team were standing around the now dead Kazekage. Naruto was crying, talking about how the Sand made him the way he was, so and so. Chiyo slowly walked passed Naruto and towards Gaara. She knelt by him, placing her hands on his stomach. She was about to begin her Jutsu, but Neji interrupted her.

"I sense someone." He said. All of them turned their heads in the direction where the person was coming from. In the distance, they see a red-headed person.

"An Akuma?" Kakashi questioned out loud. Once he was in clearer view, everyone saw an unconscious you in his arms.

"Y/N!" Sakura screamed. Once he got up to the group, he gently laid her down next to Kakashi.

"Who are you?" Gai asked. The red head looked at him and smirked.

"I'm Loki Laevatin. God of Fire." He replied. The others eyes widened.

'God of Fire?' They all thought.

"What are you doing with Y/n?" Kakashi asked.

"Well, considering I'm sealed inside of her and she's my Jinchuuriki..." He replied sassily.

"What do you mean?" Neji asked.

"Doesn't matter, ask Y/n. Anyways, she's fine, she's just unconscious. She'll wake up soon." He replied. Kakashi nodded.

"Thank you." He said.

"No problem." He replied while proofing away.

In yo Head~

"Eyyy, you got it right." He said while laughing. You didn't do anything and just stared at him. He then pouted.

"What? No hug?" He asked. You snapped out of your trance and ran at him, full speed. You wrapped your arms around his neck, and your legs around his waist.

Ruby-Chan: DAUGHTER' S DO THAT TO THEIR FATHER SOMETIMES, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SIT DOWN YOU PREPUBESCENT LITTLE MEATLOAF!

"I've missed you... why? Why did you let the other villages win?" You muttered into his shoulder.

"We couldn't put you in danger. I'm sorry." He replied.

"I missed you too Y/n." He added, squeezing you tighter. Once you calmed down, you unlatched yourself and wiped your eyes.

"You've grown so much, haven't you?" He asked.

"What was I supposed to do? Shrink?" You replied, with a small laugh.

"Haha, my little baby's all grown up. I almost feel like crying." He said while fake sniffing. You laughed while playfully hitting him.

"Staphhhh." You whined. He chuckled before ruffling your hair.

"Why are you here? Where's mom?" You asked a little more seriously.

"I'm here because you're my daughter, and I love you. As for your mother." He sighed sharply.

"You're going to see her, but in a different way." He replied, avoiding eye contact.

"Another way? How?" You asked.

"I... ran't tell you..." He dodged.

"Oh... okay..." You sighed. He suddenly lunged forward and wrapped his arms around your neck.

"I have to go sweetie." He near your hair.

"But I just saw you... -sigh- Okay..." You replied sadly. He kissed the top of your head.

"Don't worry. We'll meet each other again when the time is right." He said, his body slowly disappearing in glowing orbs.

"I love you."

"Yeah, I love you too." You replied. Once his body fully dispersed, you closed your eyes from the blinding light.

You groaned before slowly opening your eyes.

"Y/n's awake!" You heard a voice call. Your vision was blurry at first and you didn't feel like moving, but you had to. You slowly used your arms to prop yourself upwards.

"How are you feeling?" Kakashi asked while helping you up.

"I feel like... ass..." Was your reply as you reached your hand up to your head because of a headache. A faint smell reached your nose, making you raise your head.

"Did someone... die?" You asked. Kakashi's eyes widened before they dropped to the ground in sadness, making your confusion rise. Your eyes scanned over the rescue team until they landed on Chiyo who was lying in Sakura's arms. Your brows furrowed as you finished scanning around when your eyes locked with mint green ones. With your brows still furrowed, you pieced together the puzzle. Your eyebrows relaxed now that you knew the situation.

"-sigh- I see..." You muttered.

"Y/n... what happened when you were fighting? You... turned into the Eleven Tails..." Naruto asked. You sighed, blowing a strand of hair from your face.

"Soul Resonance." You replied.

"Soul... resonance...?" He repeated.

"Soul Resonance is an advanced Jutsu only done by Jinchuuriki of the Akuma clan. The Jutsu matches the Jinchuurki's and the Tailed beast's soul wavelengths. Which, in turn, can increase their power, making them able to do Jutsu's that are otherwise impossible. But once the Jutsu wears off, the strain on the users body usually knocks them unconscious for an unknown period of time." You explained.

"I passed out, and hey, at least I didn't get brutally murdered." You said while shrugging. You looked over back towards Gaara and gave him a cheeky smile.

"Yo. It's been a while, huh? Nice to see my red-headed partner again." You said while giggling. Gaara didn't say nor do anything.

"Why the hell are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?"

No, you just look like a piece of shit that just woke up from sleeping in a trash can for three months.

'DON'T SASS ME!!!'

DONE, HOLY SHIT I'M SO HAPPY!

Ja ne!
