Chapter One:

The Fugitive.

It had gone on for 3 weeks. The fear, the crying, and the running. I had been chased out of my villiage by the villagers to screams of "witch" and "monster" amongst other things. I had barely escaped with my life. All I knew was that I had to get away. Far away as possible. I thought over my short, simple life I had lived. My name is Yakushi Yukiko. Up until just over 3 weeks ago, I had lived in the Village of Snow, learning from my parents' medical text books and scrolls that had been left to me and trying to get everyone to acknowlege that I even existed. I never knew why no one talked to me or looked at me, it just seemed like... like I was imagining I was even alive. The night of my 12th birthday, the reason I was ignored was revealed. Returning home after gathering some groceries with the meager amount of money I had to ration from my parents' inheritance, I placed the bags of food onto my small apartment's kitchen floor and began unpacking when I felt a sudden chilling pulse from my stomach. I grabbed my stomach, and clutched it from the odd feeling, but it soon faded, so I continued unpacking only to have that pulse of bone chilling energy return, only much much stronger. I dropped to one knee and gasped from the pain. The pulses continued to come one after the other as I bit my tongue to keep from screaming. After several minutes of these enegry pulses, I fell face first onto my kitchen floor, oblivious to the fact that my groceries were still unpacked.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I regained conciousness to the steady sound of water falling. Drip. Drip. Drip. After a while I groggily opened my eyes and looked around to see that I was in some sort of delapidated maze of corridors that had the yellowish tint of age and decay. I felt like a dead weight, completely unable to move. As I was trying to go back to sleep to get out of this dream, I head a very strange noise. It sounded like a cat's hiss, although calling it a cat's hiss would be incorrect. That was unfortunately the closest thing I could identify it too. Upon hearing it, my eyes shot open and I looked around for the source of the noise, unabled to find the point of origin. Despite my body's condition, I slowly got up and leaned against a wall for support before going off trying to find the location of the strange noise. Just as I was about to collapse from exauhstion, I looked to my right down another tunnel only to find a strange pure white light. I turned down the side passage and walked into the light. As the light faded, I gasped in suprise. There infront of me was a gaint gate, held closed by a slip of paper with the Kanji for 'seal' on it. I just stood there for what felt like an eternity. Thoughts were going through my mind a mile a minute: 'what is this?' 'where is this?' and the like before a glowing pair of emerald green eyes, rimmed by gold with slits for pupils and a giant mouth full of pure white, dagger like teeth appared from inside the cage.

"Welcome little human. I have been waiting for you."

"Wha... Who are you?"

"Why don't you come closer and find out, hmmm?"

Without thinking, I slowly trudged to the gate before I felt a rush of air coming from inside the cage. Using what little energy I had left, I sprang back, just as a pair of gaint claws rushed through the gate, landing where I had been just seconds ago. Luckily, the claws were stopped due to the fact that they were too big to reach any father.

"Damn this infernal cage which keeps me sealed. Do you have any idea what it's like to see the same 4 walls every day and every night for 12 years? How I long to be free causing havoc once again... Pity that will never happen again, will it?"

"What are you talking about? You still haven't answered my question as to who you are!"

"My my, ever the impatient one aren't we? Very well human, I will tell you who I am. I am Nibi, the two tailed demon cat, Queen of the Undead."

"But I thought that Nibi was only a folktale told to scare children into doing what they were told..."

"Oh, I assure you my little kitten, I am very real. Would you like further proof?"

I dumbly nodded my head, not really knowing what to expect. A deep hissing laughter errupted from the cage as the face of Nibi bobbed up and down with a sneer on her face.

"Very well. I will return you to the land of the living. When you wake up, focus some chakra, and look at your stomach. If that's not enough proof for you, go to the grave yard and think of me. I'm sure you'll believe me then."

The room started to waver and warp, all the while a roaring laughter could be heard that slowly faded away until there was only silence. I then woke up, still on the kitchen floor surrounded by my shopping. Thinking that it was all a dream, I continued unpacking my shopping then went to continue my evening meditation session. Just to make sure that what had happened was nothing but a nightmare, I pulled off my shirt and focused a small amount of chakra to my navel, only to see a growing pattern of intricate black circles radiating out from my stomach. I immediately remembered what the cat had saidin my dream and I ran to the graveyard, hoping that it was all some cruel prank. I entered the graveyard, and ran to my parent's graves for comfort. Knowing what I had to do next, I calmed myself and thought of "Nibi". Before long, I heard a snikering laughter echoing deep in my mind.

"Miss me kitten?"

I lost it. I completely snapped. I let out an unearthly scream that echoed throught the village. What happened then, I only vaugly remembered, but I remember a green mass of goo like chakra rising out of my stomach and proceeding to cover my entire body. What began as a slow sting turned into a feeling of pure utter agony. Saying it hurt was an understatement. With each part of my body the chakra covered, I lost control of that body part. When the chakra covered my hands, my fingernails transformed into retractable claws. When it got up to my chest, I began a small wimper, which slowly rose in pitch before turning into a scream that could wake the dead. When it reached my neck, I leaned my head upwards, trying desperately to get away from it. As the goo covered my head, the scream quickly transformed into a demonic roar. My 'chakra armor' had taken on the appearance of a cat. I had a long chakra tail that twitched with excitement, and the chakra that was surrounding my ears formed the shape of a cat's ears. The chakra armor then seemed to almost absorb the moon's light, hiding my body inside an opaque form of a cat. Slowly, the chakra armor became transparent. My head slowly lowered, and once I opened my eyes, my normal violet eyes were now emerald green with gold rims and cat like pupils. My cainines had also elongated dramatically.I now was no longer in control of myself.

"Wha... what's happening to me?"

"I've taken the liberty of... showing you your heratige. Watch now very closely my little kitten, and I'll show you how I earnt my title of "Queen of the Undead".

My arms moved by themselves, flying through handseals at breakneck speed. By this time, I noticed that most of the village was awake and at the entrance to the graveyard. Most of them had makeshift weapons or torches of some sort. Some even had real weapons of varing descriptions. When they saw me they froze, unsure of what they should do.

"Oh the look on their faces is going to be priceless. Watch carefully, my little kitten. This is what you can really do when you put your mind to it."

Finishing the last of many hand seals, I turned to the villagers and stared at them. Although I was speaking, not only was it not my voice that came out of my mouth, but the voice that did come out chilled the villagers to the bone.

"I call upon the, the souls of the damned. Rise my children! Rise and serve me once again! Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Taitou za Bachiatari!"

For a moment nothing happened. But then, all over the grave yard, the ground started breaking apart infront of most of the gravestones, from which mangled bodies crawled, moaning and creaking. I turned towards the mob, who's faces showed such horror, disgust and rage. They started moving forward to try and destroy me for disrespecting their loved ones, but I simpily turned to them and held up a hand.

"That's as far as you go, little humans."

Once again, they stopped, unsure of what I had meant. I turned to face the army of reanimated corpses, before addressing my undead army.

"As the first task for your master, I would like those pitiful mortals to be hunted for their crimes against me. Make sure none survive! Go, my children!"

The zombies lurched forward, gaining speed and momentum. The villagers broke ranks and ran screaming for their lives.

"Now do you believe I am real, my little kitten?" Nibi asked sadisticly.

"How... HOW COULD YOU?" My mind was backed into the last little corner of sanity. Just one more little tap and I'd be as good as gone.

"Now is not the best time to question 'how'. I suggest you take yourself and flee the village. Quite frankly, I was doing you a favor. I was absolutely fed up with those pitiful humans treating us like they did. Just remember. Everything you feel, I feel. Demons have feelings too you know." Nibi let out a slight sigh, but I was far too worked up to notice it.

"But... I have no where to go! My family died long ago, I have no relatives outside the village! Did you even think this through before you took control of my body?" I screamed at the cat, demanding an explination.

"I did. I have been planning this for almost 12 years, kitten. Have you heard of the hidden village of the leaf in the fire country?" She asked in a calm manner.

"Of course. Why?" I was now not only scared out of my wits, but confused as well.

"That would probably be the best place to go right about now. I have a... friend... that I last saw around Konoha." Nibi gave off the feeling of aprehension as she mentioned the word 'friend', which made me wary.

"Last saw? When exactly did you last 'SEE' your friend when you've been in my body for 12 years?" This was making less and less sense with each passing second.

"At about the same time I was sealed inside you, I also felt the presence of my friend disappear from existance..." Nibi paused for a moment before taking stock of the current situation.

"Hmmm, it seems the villagers have regrouped. I'm taking you in the direction of Konoha, although even my incredibe stamina reserves cannot make the whole trip in a single attempt while I'm stuck in this body. Once I run out of chakra, you'll be on your own. I HEAVILY suggest you don't look back. Ever. It will take roughly 3 weeks of travelling if we keep up a good pace. It's time we started a new life. Let's go, kitten." and with that, they dissapeared over the walls of the village followed by all the surviving ninja of the hidden Village of Snow.

A/N:

Well, there's chapter one done! As always, constructive criticisms are welcome. Now for a bit of history:

The question you're probably asking yourselves right now is: Why a demon cat with the ability to raise the dead? Well, I actually did some research into the Biju and their physical manifestations. The one tailed Biju, who's official name acording to mythology is Ichibi, or "One tailed". same goes all the way up to Kyubi, which we all know as the nine tails. I did as much research as I could to find out all the identities of each and every one of the 9 Bijus. There was precious little information on the identity of the 6 tailed Biju, and only slightly more on most of the others. Of course, the most well documented one is the Kyubi no Kitsune. The next most well documented one is the Ichibi no Tanuki, or "One tailed Raccoon-Dog" (raccon-dogs are apparently found only in Japan) So I went through the choices and found my hopes of finding a Biju that was even remotely feminine dwindling fast. I need a feminine Biju to fit in with what I had planned as the story line. The Sanbi, or "three tailed" was interesting. It's suggested that the Sanbi is a shark. Now who reminds you of a shark? Kisame! Anyways, I continued searching, whittling down the choices until I was left with one. The Nibi, or "two tailed" I did some research into it and became very intrested. According to myth, the Nibi was originally a one tailed cat that grew to 10 years of age, it's tail split into 2, and would gain the conflicting powers of necromancy and shamanism. What I found amusing was that the older, mistreated Nibi's would revive the people who mistreated them's dead relatives and haunt them until they got what they wanted. The last part of what I read caught my attention the most though. Here's the extract I was talking about: Lastly, some Japanese folk tails said that nekomata could shapeshift and become human in appearance; however, unlike the more common nekomusume, nekomata women tended to look older, display bad habits in public and always had an air of dread around them, which if around people for an extended period could cause disease and pestilence. I then looked up what a 'Nekomusume' was and found out that it was the ancient Japanese equivalent of a catgirl from anime! So basically I twisted it a bit and combined some of the traits of a Nekomata and a Nekomusume, since this is biju version after all. Anyways, enough rambling. One last thing before I go, if you were wondering about that summoning technique I used, the meaning is below.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Taitou za Bachiatari : Summoning Technique: Rise of the Damned

I am going to write the next chapter as soon as this is posted. I'll catch you all again next time!

Ja ne:)
