I do not own this lovely picture. I did not make it. I recommend searching Naruto puppet OCs if you to find this. It also has a signature in the bottom right hand corner. Please, thank you, and I don't own this.

"Next match. Himawari Hyuuga and Chikako Fuinto please come down."

As we both jumped down I could feel Chikako's glare on me. I'm pretty sure everybody noticed it too. The hatred from her eyes. The hatred directed at me.

I looked up at the crowd. There were normal citizens, ninja, Feudal lords, and Kages. I could tell much like Sasuke, they wanted to see this match. I heard a few call me the missing princess. I'm not very princess like. If anything you'd have to be docile to be a princess and that's more Hinata than me.

We took our places in front of each other. I already had my hand rested on the hilt of blade. Chikako had her hands tensed preparing to grab something out of her pouch. The crowd seemed to be enthralled by us.

"Alright, Begin."

Instead, of flipping back like I did last time I launched forward, while unsheathing my katana. The difference between this fight and what I usually do is her fighting style.

Chikako is a puppet user. I don't want to give her the chance to summon it. Typically, you attack the user however not only is she good at the long ranged puppetry she, as far as I remember, has excellent speed. That's why I had to train my speed up.

She seemed surprised by my immediate frontal assault and had to pull out a kunai. Chikako only had time to block the barrage of swift strikes. Every time she tried to step back I'd launch myself again not giving her a chance to rest. She was good with puppetry and speed but not ninjutsu or planning.

Angling my sword I used the shiny edge to blind her. She staggered back rubbing her eyes, and in that moment I shot forward ready to give her a finishing blow. There was no way I wanted a fight dragged out with her. However, just I was about to deliver it she did something.

"But... Aren't we friends?" She said this to me with an innocent smile. I hesitated. I knew I shouldn't have, but I had a memory of young us. When she asked me that question.

In my moment of hesitation she flew backwards simultaneously summing her puppet. It was a tiger. Anybody could tell by first glance everything on it was laced in poisons. I'd have to now be extremely careful.

"Like my puppet. Her name is Fukushū." She grinned at me. "It means revenge, and your going to receive all of it."

"Why!? Chikako, you don't know what happened!" I yelled at her.

"I know what happened. I may be the only one who knows." She started shouting angrily. "Do any of your friends know what you did!? Do they know what your are?! No! That's to be expected why would a monster tell anybody they truth! Your just a friend killing fiend."

"T-that's not true!" I tried to mask my hurt, but I think everybody saw it. "I did tell someone..."

"It's not true! You killed Takara! You killed one of the only people who even mattered to me. Didn't the matter to you?! I thought you cared about us! Everything was fine before you came along!"

She mover her hand in a quick movements. As swift as she did that her puppet leaped into the air towards me. Her movements weren't very well planned out. They were fueled by rage. Rage in a fight could make for mistakes, but just as it has its downsides it also can make the opponent stronger.

"Of course she mattered!" I screamed dodging the tiger swipes. "She was one of the first people who saw past my clan! I didn't kill her! I loved her dearly!"

"Then why...." A dark look came over her face, and when she looked up a crazy and sorrowful expression was there. "WHY DID YOU KILL HER!?"

I barely dodged the next barrage of attacks she sent my way. She kept sending her puppet after me, and I was finding it hard to keep up the will to fight my old friend.

Without any warning she laughed. Chikako stopped all her moments and laughed. I didn't understand. I couldn't understand. This wasn't something that happened in the middle of serious fights.

"That's alright you don't have to respond. Soon I'll bring our story to the closing page." Chikako cryptically laughed out.

Fukushū started to shake. A bunch of openings could be seen, and from these openings were... Poisoned senbon.

I quickly started to channel charka into my sword. Once, I swiped my sword around me making an ice dome around me. The sounds of clinking clouds be heard. That sizzling, and thuds. The poison was dissolving the ice! The thuds must be her puppet trying to come through the dome.

"Water style: water clone jutsu." I whispered leaving it behind as I escaped through the ground.

I used an Earth style to dig down deep. I activated my Byakugan to see her position. If I moved 10feet to the right I'd be right below her. I moved to that position, and got positioned to end the fight.

With the intention to win I popped up. Before she could dodge I used my newfound speed to deliver a well placed punch at her stomach. Chikako coughed and staggered. I grabbed my katana and held it at her throat.

"You going to kill me too?" She asked with a Cheshire grin. "That's alright. You just want to finish what you started, right?"

"I didn't kill Takara!" I shouted moving the butt of the sword at her head. Blinded by her words I missed the puppet tackling me.

"Oh really?" She glared at me while rubbing her throat. There was a slight trickle of blood flowing from it.

I slid across the ground. Startled I dropped Nadare. Frantically, I searched for it. I tried reaching for it, puppet was too fast. I was done for.

Conversely to my thoughts I wasn't dead. I had felt a sudden rush of chakra go through me. Timidly I opened my eyes. The area around me as well as the puppet... Was covered. It was covered in Coral.

"Your welcome." Isobu told me. He sounded a bit mad. Mad at Chikako for trying and almost succeeding in killing me.

"If it hadn't been for you, I would have been dead." I thanked him sincerely. "But after that please let me handle this on my own."

"Look! Proof!" Chikako had a triumphant smile. She didn't looked bothered at all by the fact that her puppet, her best attack was captured. "This is proof of the monster she really is! Do you know what she is?"

I looked down. With her words I couldn't help, but that they were becoming true. Even if I knew that they weren't. It still hurt to here words like that from somebody you care about.

"Stop it!" I heard yelled at me. I looked up and saw Naruto. He was gripping the railing tightly. "Hima-chan isn't a monster! She is my friend, and one of the kindest people I know!"

"Of course you'd think that! You know nothing about her!" He stared him right in the eyes, but neither wavered. "She is a Jinchuriki! She is the Jinchuriki of the three tailed beast."

I heard a magnitude of gasps from the crowd. I saw the expressions. Terror, fear, surprise, and the beginnings of hatred. I cowered underneath them.

"Why don't we tell them." Chikako turned to me. "The early chapters of our story."

The next chapters are it. The reveal of who Chikako and Takara are. How Himawari became a Jinchuriki, and why Chikako hates her so much!
