Sasuke stood in front of Ami, staring as Ami's face was one with confusion.

Sasuke had invited Ami over for a favor, he wanted to borrow some of Kyuubi's chakra for an experiment but Ami had to wonder.

"Why do you need its chakra again?" Ami asked as Sasuke shifted nervously.

"Well remember how it helped my body?" Sasuke asked as Ami nodded, "I want to try something with the chakra," Ami looked unsure as Sasuke sighed before shaking his head, "of course it's all up to you, if you feel uncomfortable with it then, let's just forget about it."

"No wait," Ami shook her head as Sasuke looked back at her, "it's just, are you sure you want to do this?"

Sasuke nodded, "yes, I want to try something with it, if it doesn't work then, I'll get rid of the chakra."

Ami nodded before concentrating again, Sasuke activated his eyes as they both appeared in front of a large caged door.

"Well, well, well," red eyes stared down at the two figures, "welcome back," it chuckled as Sasuke signaled to Ami that he would take care of this.

"Kyuubi," Sasuke spoke out as the demon's gaze turned to him, "lend me your chakra."

"Hmm," it looked curiously at the boy, "and why should I do that, you are not my host."

Sasuke sighed irritated, he knew the demon enough; he would have to trade favors, "what do you want?"

It chuckled, "I wonder," it crouched low, its eyes focusing on the boy, "you seem to know me well," it rose up again, "congratulations Uchiha, you have made me curious, answer my question and in exchange, I'll lend you my chakra."

Sasuke nodded in agreement

"What are you?"

Sasuke looked surprised at the question, "what do you mean?"

It narrowed its eyes, "I mean what I say," it towered above them, "you are different from the other Uchiha but you are the same, what are you Uchiha?"

Sasuke looked at it before turning back to Ami, he understood what the demon was asking but he didn't want to reveal it to Ami; he thought for a moment, pacing back and forth as Kyuubi watched from its cage, then Sasuke stopped, an idea formed, he turned back to the demon, "I am a tortured soul, one who does not belong in the world but I still exist."

Kyuubi looked somewhat surprised at the words, a riddle, how lovely… demon Kitsunes pride themselves in there trickery, this riddle would be easy.

Ami looked on in confusion; she had no idea what Sasuke was saying, maybe referring to his past?

Sasuke continued to speak, "I've died once from my brother who is not," he thought back to his death, "I've come back, in what is not my own, watching and training what I used to be."

Kyuubi widened its eyes, looking at the girl Ami before turning back to Sasuke.

"That is who I am," Sasuke concluded, "a visitor and now, a permanent dweller, thanks to the powers of Faith."

Kyuubi nodded, "I see," red chakra started to leak out as it chuckled, "Faith has a way of granting a second chance…no?" It chuckled as red chakra seeped out of the cage, engulfing Sasuke.
