Ibiki Morino

**Writers note: I don't know why but every time I edit this and make Kaito's lines in italics, it's messing up a little. I's not sure how to fix it at the moment so please bare with it.- - - - - -

"My name is Ibiki, and yours is?"

Confused you reply "Kaito."

"No, Kaito. I am not talking to you," he responds.

"But," you say "there's nobody else here, is there?" you ask with a puzzled look.

"Not in this room, no. But inside you."

"I don't understand. What's going on? How did I get here?"

"You don't remember, that's interesting. So whatever it was had taken over your consciousness completely..." Ibiki is talking to himself.

"Taken over?" you query.

"Yes, according to Iruka, shortly after you had threatened Ino Yamanaka's life, and was then asked to demonstrate the shadow clone technique, your body language had changed, your whole persona had taken a dramatic shift," he explains. "I'm rather disappointed that I missed it, in all honesty."

"I still don't understand..."

"No, I'm sure you don't. You are just a child. However, inside you is something... Darker. Something that is no child. Something dangerous."

You start to look a little scared.

"Haha," he laughs "There's nothing for you to be worried about, it's all of us that need to worry. Luckily for us, Iruka especially, that you're still but a child with no knowledge of fighting or real jutsu." He takes on a more serious tone. "But still. I have a job to do, and it means talking to whatever that thing is inside you. It's a good job that you have nowhere else to go because you won't be leaving here for a very long time."

Ibiki leaves the cell.

"He knows too much." That strange voice is back.

You snap your neck around looking for its source.

"Don't bother, I'm in your head." the voice answers your unanswered question.

"Wh-who are you?"

"You can call me Ōtsu." The voice answers.

_"Ōtsu..." you repeat. _"How are you in my head?"

"Well, young one. I had been sealed away a very long time ago. It wasn't until I felt your lonliness that I came to you."

"Oh..." is all you muster.

"Oh sweet boy, don't be sad. With me, you never have to be alone again." the voice comforts.

"But you're just a voice inside my head, how can that comfort me? I'm still all alone."

"I can be more than that, sweet boy."

As she says those words a mist starts to form in front of you. From the mist, a tall figure appears, Ivory skin and the longest flowing silver hair you'd ever seen. She wore a long white gown with gold and purple trimming.

"Wow, you're a girl!" you exclaim "You're so pretty."

"Thank you, sweet boy." she smiles back.

Wiping your eyes you stand up.

"I learned that it's polite to greet people formally," you say _"I never have before, nobody has ever been kind to me before except old man Sarutobi," you wonder where he is right now and why he hasn't come to help. "I'm Kaito." You say "Sorry, I don't have a family name." _You look sad.

Smiling the pretty lady gives you a warm hug.

"It's nice to finally meet you face-to-face, Kaito. My name is Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki, and I have a feeling we will become good friends," she says with a psychotic grin on her face.
