Not in The Slightest

Deiara-

I've had it with that tanuki, he thinks he can defeat me just by sending me into my own flames, no, that won't work. I'm not done in the slightest. I smirked and dived into the black flames to make the tanuki think I was defeated. Hitachi and Kai knew what to do.

I parted the flames and hid inside them as Hitachi was distracting Shukaku. "That baka doesn't think I've improved? Heh! He's wrong! Dead wrong! Summoning Jutsu!"

My fox appeared and I gave her orders. She nodded and left. She came out of the flames, transformed as me and used basic fire Style techniques and a powerful one for measure, but Shukaku got to her and managed to slap her with his tail. He thought he attacked me, but Kitsune transformed back into her fox self. "You left yourself wide open! Time for this!" I released my mangekyo.

This time, it wasn't a rookie move. I was there with Shukaku and he thought we were still in the fight. My genjutsu worked. Jess and Yurikami were there, but they were just illusions. I knew what Shukaku's torturous fear was. It was not Jess's Health Class, but much worse... The fear of heartbreak.

Kyuubi-

I left with an evil smirk on my face and my wounds healing. All that was on my demon's mind was to kill, while I was inside the darkest part of my mind and in doubt. I saw that he had gotten to where Hachi and Suki was and I was panicing. How can I break his control? Wait! What did that girl Kokoro put on me? A seal! I needed to find it and infuse my chakra to lock the beast away.

On the outside though, I was smirking. "Hachimata, do I need to repeat myself? I'm going to kill the both of you."

"Why would you want to do that? And who is this girl, Suki?" Hachimata asked.

"I'm killing the two of you so Kyuubi can feel and gain power from anger and rage. With my darkness, and eliminating everyone close to him, I can gain that power." Dark Kyuubi said.

"Kyu-kun why are you acting-"

Hachi was cut off by my chakra cutting into his arm. "Gaahh!"

He was in pain. I had to stop it. That seal! I got to it and put my chakra in, but it had no effect. "Why isn't it working?!"

Silly kitsune. You can't defeat darkness by sealing it away, you must confront it.

"You aren't the one that controls me! You don't have any meaning to me! You aren't going to kill the people and friends I hold dear! You are not going to take over!" I shouted.

Upon saying that, there was a struggle for power and on the outside it was shown. "You aren't going to kill them, you'll have to kill me first!"

"Then I'll have to kill you Kyuubi Yoko!"

And with that, my eyes closed and I collapsed.
