[In Naruto?!] -- Older Version of Dérive.

| 11 | [Name]'s True Story |

Hmph. Ungrateful human.

You scoffed.

"What does that make you?"

...touché.

You smiled, before realising that you were talking to something that you didn't know was safe or not. So, like every other normal human, you shouted, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

You could hear something sigh, but really, it was like a giant gale blowing past you. You had to concentrate as much chakra as you could to your feet, to stop yourself from being blown away.

I'm not a powerful demon like Kurama, but...I am more of a yōkai. [1]

"...yōkai...?"

Hai. I'm the kitsune [2] that is sealed within your body.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD I HAVE A KITSUNE SEALED IN MY BODY?!"

Another sigh, but this time, it wasn't as strong.

Daijobu, I am a zenko [3]. Why I am sealed...I'm unable to tell you yet, but you...you don't know?

"WHAT DO YOU THINK?!"

...well. I guess I'll have to tell you.

You blinked as you suddenly felt the ground tremble a little, before something clicked inside your head.

AH! This is...!

A sudden flashback entered your mind, in which you were sitting on the bed - Rui next to you - before a sudden tremor had caused you to fall off the bed, Rui included. This resulted in knocking your head and making you black out.

Your eyes widened.

Of course! That's how we came here!

You blinked as the trembling suddenly stopped, and you looked towards the gates again, only to find a shaggy red-haired man, standing right behind the golden bars.

"...that's you?"

Stupid human. I cannot show you my real form yet.

"Why?"

Don't ask too many questions. You will be treading in waters too deep for you to go in.

"...why?"

A sigh, but this time, it was a human sigh. You cautiously walked over to the gates, making sure to make you look casual, but keeping your hand near your weapon pouch, just in case.

What the fuck am I thinking?! HE'S A KITSUNE! I DON'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST HIM! Well, at least not now.

As you arrived in front of the gates, you blinked, noticing that the man was slightly taller than you, but other than that, he looked like an every-day man you would find in a village, minus the blood-thirsty eyes and claws. You gulped silently.

Sit down.

You blinked, before obeying his command, slowly sitting down in the water, playing no mind that your butt would probably be soaking wet later.

Hm.

You rolled your eyes, blinking again as you watched the man sit down, himself.
