Hidden Village: Cloud Village
Class: Demon
Tail Number: Nibi (Two)
Type: Cat
Imbued Within: Rock Lee
Nibi is one of the "bijuu", a tailed beast of the ancient world. Seeking a way to create a ninja with a large amount of chakra that would be an unstoppable machine, the Nibi was placed inside Hidden Cloud shinobi Rock Lee. Nibi has been refered to as an "ikiryou" or living ghost.
Little is known about the Nibi and its abilities. In mythology the two-tailed cats were said to have the ability to manipulate the dead like puppets and have been associated with strange fires and occurrences. Nibi has been shown to use fire in its attacks and its nickname brings to mind the dead manipulation abilities.

A/N: Yosh! Hello there! It is me, FlippedOutFlippy! I came up with an idea of 'What if Lee was actually a demon holder?' and I wanted to write it~ XD Wish me luck! Oh, and Lee will be acting very feminine, and cat-like in this fiction for obvious reasons. So I imagine, his movements seem very sensual at times. ALSO! He always has his eyes half open, like bedroom eyes~ lol
THIS IS A REWRITE!

"Mooootheeer..." Lee sang, elongating the word as he stared up into the darkness above his bed.
'Yes Kitten?' She answered in his mind, voice rumbling with power but soft to him and still feminine.
"I had the dream again..."
'Of Kuma?'
"Yesss." Lee hissed, lips twisting down, "When will those memories leave..."
'Never I suppose. You were very different back then, kitten.'
Lee hummed and slowly sat up, thick black hair falling in front of him like a waterfall. It covered his covered lap and he stared at the glossy strands. "I was young and stupid."
'No, merely naive. You were a child, you did not know better.'
Lee giggled and there was something disturbing about the sound. He finally slunk from the bed, feet silent on wood flooring as he glided to the bathroom and slipped inside. His nude form was reflected in the bathroom mirror and he turned the shower on before looking at himself. He hummed and tilted his head in a way that was reminiscent of a cat. His skin was unblemished and soft looking, hairless and lithe. Perfect really and he was proud of it.
'You are preening, Kitten.' Mother sounded amused and Lee giggled, licking his sharp teeth as he grinned.
"I blame you." He said, teasingly at his reflection, "I am proud anyway. We have trained hard for this body, and thanks to your healing, I have no scars."
'True.' She said, echoing a laugh, 'Are you planning to keep hiding your ability to use jutsu?'
"Yes..." Lee's black pearl eyes flashed with anger, "Let them think me weak. I still do not trust them!"
'Yes...It has only been two years since coming to this village. They have not done much to gain my approval.'
"This whole place is horrible..."
'But...'
"It is better than that filthy cage." Lee spat like a feral cat, bristling.
'Yet we are still owned. We are still a tool.'
"At least it is for a lesser evil." Lee rolled his head, stretching his neck before turning and getting into the now hot shower. The water scalded his skin and he sighed in pleasure, mewling softly. Mother chuckled in his head and he smiled. When he was done and finished with his normal bathroom routine, he left to his sparse bedroom and opened his closet.
He pulled out a tight black turtle neck and black spandex pants then black ninja shoes that went up to mid-calf which hid the weights that Gai had been training him with. Black fingerless gloves came as well so the only skin that was showing was his fingers, toes, and face, all of which were as pale as snow. He braided his hair then looked at himself in the closet mirror. He nodded to himself, deciding that he looked good enough -different from how he used to look which was the point-, and wrapped his headband around his slender waist. Last, he wrapped his weapons pouch around his right thigh before slipping out of his apartment.
'Are we going to approach the Kyuubi vessel today?' Mother questioned in Lee's head.
'Maybe, do you think it would be a good idea?' He thought back, sticking close to the buildings so he wouldn't knock into the morning rush of civilians.
'We have been watching him for a year. He is going to become a ninja soon, it is better to get acquainted now.'
Lee hummed to himself, crossing his arms over his swaying hips as he thought about it. Yes, mother was right but how to get the other demon holder to notice him? He couldn't say that they were the same, not right off the bat; that would most likely push the boy away. He also had to do it in a way that kept him unnoticed. He didn't want any attention, not before...
'You should befriend him...' Matatabi broke Lee out of his quiet thoughts and he smiled.
'Of course, but do you really think I could make...'friends', mother?' Lee chuckled to himself, finding it almost...funny. Friends...such a foreign concept.
'I do not think it would be too hard, little one. Be polite, be kind, and he will ally himself with you in due time...' She seemed to pause for a moment before continuing, 'I do wonder though, how much control does Kurama have over the child...'
'How much could he have? He doesn't seem to be...like us.'
'He most likely would not be. Kyuubi must be very angry, I know I was until we started conversing.'
Lee smiled, a little happy and a little shy, 'I am glad you decided to give me a chance Mother.'
'But with what happened...'
'That was...I do not blame you Mother. I could not control-'
'It was not your fault either!' She cut him off, voice hard and angry, 'They had a chance to save them, yet all they could 'see' was that you were 'possessed'. Vile, loathsome humans! They did not even try to save your family!'
Lee had to stop. The memories- Fire, screaming from inside the burning house. People, the elders running in. He tried to tell them but they didn't listen. They attacked him instead. Mother finally took over, the only way to make it out of the battle alive. They captured him, ignoring his dying parents...when he woke, he was in hell.- Lee shuddered. He squeezed his own hips then continued walking, not addressing the subject.
'How can we get his attention?' Lee asked instead but then he gave a slight smile when he noticed a familiar boy running towards him, not realizing that he was there.
'What was that saying, mother? Speak of the devil and he shall appear?' Lee smiled at Mother's soft laughter and made the split second decision to step into Naruto's path.
Naruto didn't notice Lee until it was too late and the blond boy crashed into him, sending them to the ground. Lee twisted, cushioning their fall as much as he could by curling his body around Naruto to protect the younger boy from any damage. He let out a small gasp as his body hit the ground hard. It was more like a shock than him feeling any pain and he slowly sat up. He kept his arms around the shorter boy and looked down at him, feeling vaguely amused.
"Are you alright?" Lee asked with a cat-like tilt of his head.
Naruto's head shot up in surprise then he quickly pulled himself from Lee's arms, "Y-Yea, sorry 'bout that! I didn't see ya there, hehe..." He rubbed the back of his head then fixed his goggles by habit. His face was slightly red with what Lee guessed was embarrassment.
"That is alright. I am just glad that you were not hurt." Lee stood up, brushing the dirt off his body, then offered his hand to Naruto with a kind smile.
Naruto's eyes widened slightly and he blushed a little harder as he took Lee's hand. He didn't know why, but something about Lee just called out to him and he kind of felt like chuckling and sticking close to him. He shook his head then grinned widely at Lee.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! What's your name?" Naruto found himself eager to hear it for some reason.
"It is a pleasure to meet the famous Uzumaki Naruto." Lee giggled softly, his movements feminine as he wrapped one arm around his own waist again and covered his parted lips with the other. He placed that hand on his opposite hip then continued, "I am Rock Lee."
"Hiya! O-hey, that headband! You're a ninja!" Naruto grinned excitedly.
Lee giggled again and nodded, "Yes, indeed I am. Just a Genin for now, as I am sure you will be too, soon."
"Course! Imma be a Hokage one day! Believe it!"
"Hmm..." Lee looked Naruto up and down before giving him a 'fond' smile, "and believe it, I do. I have no doubt that you will, one day." Lee said, fondness consciously entering his tone. He watched Naruto blush again and rub the back of his head as he grinned. Lee did want to stay and talk, to make sure that he would be a lasting presence in Naruto's mind but knew he had to hurry and go to his team. Despite his reluctance to do so.
Lee sighed and said, "I am sorry, I must go now Naruto-kun. I need to go train."
"Oh, yea! Course! Talk to you later?" His voice was slightly hopeful even though he tried to hide it.
Lee smiled and giggled softly, "Of course!" he said, "I would be very dissapointed if I do not get to talk to the future hokage again soon." Lee winked and pet Naruto's head gently. He leaned down for a moment and tilted Naruto's head up with the tips of his fingers before kissing the boys' cheek before leaving. Lee didn't look back, so he didn't see Naruto standing there with wide eyes and a completely red face.
Lee made it to the training ground with time to spare. He saw Neji and Tenten but no Gai. He hummed to himself then sprang into a tree, perching towards the end where sunlight shown. He purred softly as the sunlight warmed his skin then cracked an eye open as he felt eyes on him.
"Yes Neji~" Lee purred purposely
Neji jolted, blushing slightly before silently glaring at Lee.
Lee sighed, stretching out and arching his back pleasantly before curling up again, saying, "If you are going to keep staring, why do you not come up and join me instead~?"
"What exactly are you up to?" Neji grit out, cheeks gaining a darker tint as he stepped closer to Lee's perch. Neji never made it a secret that he thought Lee was hiding things.
"Oh Neji..." Lee purred, "You are too cute when you assert yourself~"
Neji's face burned completely red as he stepped back, looking surprised and flustered at the same time, "You-!" He began to shout but Gai chose that moment to appear in a puff of smoke, distracting them.
Gai looked around slightly confused as to what had been happening but then grinned widely, his white teeth sparkling. He laughed and called his student's youthful then told them what they were to be doing that day. There were no missions for them so they were just training instead.
The day passed on like that, with Lee, Neji, and Tenten training together on all their specialties. Lee trained harshly on Taijutsu and was pulled away to secretly add a few more pounds to his weights. Lee felt slightly thankful to Gai for everything that he was doing -the man seemed so...honest with everything, so much to the point that Lee had begun to trust him.-, and told him so in not so many words. Gai had just laughed and patted Lee's back, saying that Lee was his precious student, he would always help, no matter what.
The words made his heart pang oddly. He shook off the foreign feeling and got back to training, but with only half a mind as his Mother began speaking.
'I think we should look for Naruto after training.'
'Oh?'
'Yes, it is best to make him think of us often.'
'Yes Mother.' Lee mentally nodded, eyes narrowing slightly as he hit the log hard enough to gouge out a good chuck of it, 'We must gain him as an ally quickly...'
Hours later, when the sun was disappearing under the tree line, Gai called the training to a halt and told them all to go home. Lee wiped away his sweat and immediately wanted to take a bath and get clean, the feeling of being dirt disgusted him. He'd do that first before searching out Naruto.
With that thought in mind, Lee left the training area first. He took a shortcut through the village streets but did not go onto the roofs. A familiar sound made him stop after five minutes of light running and he looked towards Ichiraku, the Ramen stand. Lee smiled slightly as he saw Naruto with the Academy teacher Iruka. He walked a little closer to say hello but froze at what he heard.
They were talking about him...
"Naruto... I know you're happy at making a shinobi friend but, I want you to be careful around that guy. He's dangerous..." Iruka said in a quiet concerned tone.
"Wha? Why? Lee's cool, and really really nice!" Naruto said confused but grinning.
Iruka reached over and put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, "I can't say much, just be careful. Trust me on this."
Lee felt himself smile widely though he felt burning anger on the inside. Someone, who didn't even know who he was...was... 'So this is how it is...' he thought to himself before turning on his heel, 'Alright. It does not matter anyway.'
Lee bit his lip to keep in his laughter. Dangerous, the man called him. That thing wouldn't even be able to comprehend how dangerous he was! He could murder him now and leave none the wiser! He could-!
'Kitten!' Mother hissed sharply and Lee gasped, the taste of blood on his tongue.
Lee shuddered and shook his head, quickly licking his bleeding lip. He felt the building hiss in his chest but held it back.
'Disgusting, worthless, pathetic humans...' Lee bit out, rage still making his eyes focus on the Chuunin
'Do not waste your time on him Kitten. He is not worth it.' Mother said, 'Let us go for now, we will try and speak with Naruto in a few days, when this conversation will be less fresh in his mind.'
'Yes, mother...' Lee slowly slipped into the shadows again and went home. He had to step back anyway. It wouldn't do to lose control and let anger rule...
