I do not own Naruto. Multiple pairings. Thanks to all who let me use their OC's as well.

In the beginning there was the Uchiha clan of Konoha. They were the most powerful clan of the ninja world for a while and then the Akagi clan of the Hidden Cloud village appeared wanting to take the place of one of the most powerful clans in Konoha. They fought with the Uchiha clan using their mastery of the shadows. They had succeeded in defeating a lot of the Uchiha's and proving thier strength. Unfortunately, the other ninja feared them and went to help the Uchiha clan in their times of need outnumbering the Akagi clan almost ten to one. The fighting lasted for weeks and though the Akagi were brave and powerful shadow warriors they could not defeat the combined forces of ninja everywhere. After a few moer days of fighting the Akagi clan was forced to retreat to the shadow realm until the day would come when they could harness the power of the one ninja who could tip the scales in their favor.
Aida...I need you...Aida...a young man called out to her. She turned and then screamed when she saw he was a shadow with red eyes.
Aida woke up with a start sweating in her bed and trying to catch her breath. It was still early morning, but for some reason the nightmare had seemed so much more real. Maybe she was working to hard, but she was a shinobi and she did not believe in taking a vacation no matter what. She walked to the bathroom groggily and splashed water on her face. These nightmares had been plaguing her since she turned seventeen a few months ago. Closing her eyes she took a few more deep breaths before looking into the mirror.
"Aida...", a young man said appearing in the mirror causing Aida to scream and back away from her mirror in a hurry. She hit her head on the wall and passed out slding down it. She had entered the dream world again and immediately felt chilled to the bone. The place was dark and she could tell that shadows surrounded her.
What is this place?, she thought to herself.
"You are in the shadow realm", a voice said.
The shadow realm, Aida thought.
"Yes....", the voice said and Aida turned around screaming when she saw an angry shadow. "I want your power Hiwatari...", it yelled with red eyes.
"Aida...", someone said.
"Aida...."
"Aida...wake up..."...the person repeated.
Aida opened her eyes to see Jirrue and smiled weakly.
"Hey...", she said to him.
"Hey. I came to check on you with Raiden. Naruto-sensei was wondering what was taking you so long", he said.
"Sorry. I keep having those nightmares.", Aida said standing up. "I hope sensei will forgive me", she said to him.
"You know Naruto-sensei buy him some ramen and he will be all smiles and happy. Granted if his wife Sakura finds out then you better run as fast as you can and pray she doesn't find you.", Jirrue said laughing.
"Yeah Yeah I know", Aida said.
"Are you guys coming?", Raiden called up from the downstairs.
"Yeah", Aida said to him. "Let's go", she said to Jirrue and then jumped out the window doing a bunch of flips and more.
"Show off", Jirrue muttered using his sand and disappearing into it and reappearing by her.
"I'm better", Raiden said to her.
"You wish Uchiha", she said to him and then started to build up a rasengan while he charged up his chidori.
"Stop it you two", Jirrue said stopping their attacks with his sand. "Aida don't be a bitch. Raiden if you like her so much ask her out", he said grumbling.
"As if I'd date the Hiwatari", Raiden said.
"As if I'd stoop so low as to date a Uchiha", Aida shot back.
Jirrue rolled his eyes as they walked into the training grounds where Naruto was waiting for him. He raised an eyebrow and then shook his head and started to explain that they would each be training with a different jounin today in order to work on other skills. He would have clones watching their progress as they trained. They all nodded and Naruto started to speak again.
"Jirrue you will train with my best friend and Taijutsu master Rock Lee", he said as Rock Lee came out to train.
"Are you ready to fight? I promise we will make use of all your youthful energy", Lee said with a thumbs up and a smile.
Naruto shook his head and looked at Jirrue apologetically. "Alright Raiden you will be going up against Shino", Naruto said as Shino appeared to fight him.
"Aida...", Naruto said to her and she continued staring blankly. "AIDA!", he yelled.
"Yes Naruto-sensei", she said.
"Concentrate Hiwatari. You are facing off against Neji and Hinata", he said to her.
"Both of them", Aida said to him.
"Yes both of them at once.", Naruto said. "You need to be able to focus on fighting more than one opponent.", he told her.
Aida looked at him. "Um yes sensei", she said.
"Ouch harsh", Raiden whispered teasing her. "Two Hyuuga's...you must have made sensei really mad"
Aida stepped on his foot as Neji and Hinata came out to fight her.
A few hours later, Raiden had lost to Shino and Jirrue barely beat Rock Lee. Aida was now completely facing off against Neji as Hinata needed to rest. She had not fully recovered from her fight with Neji years ago. Aida just got hit with another jyuuken attack and then used and ice ninjutsu and froze his legs.
"Enough", Naruto said so they would end their fight as Neji broke out the ice with his chakra. "Very good team. You can all go home thanks to all my jounin friends", he said.
Aida looked at Neji. "Good match", she said and held out her hand.
Neji took it. "You as well Hiwatari", he said to her and then left with his wife Hinata.
Aida went back home after giving Naruto money for ramen. She made herself a sandwich and ate it along with some apples and then washed it down with fruit juice. Then she went up the stairs to take a shower. Once that was done she sat in front of her mirror in her room and started to think of what she needed to do tomorrow. Naruto-sensei was going on a mission, so they had at least one week off. Aida brushed out her hair yawning.
"Aida...", a voice said and Aida felt breathing down her neck.
"What? Whose there?", she asked.
"I need you Aida...come find me...", it said.
"Who are you? Why are you torturing me like this?", she asked.
"Come find me Aida...Or I will take you from here...", it said.
"Leave me alone!", Aida screamed as Raiden and Jirrue made it outside her house.
Raiden and Jirrue rushed in the house to see a shadow creature speaking to Aida. Raiden tried to chidori it but ended up going through it as did Jirrue's sand. The shadow turned to them with red eyes.
"Aida will be ours...Yami will rise again and destroy the Uchiha clan" it said and then turned to Aida. "My name is Okita...Okita Akagi...", it said before leaving.
Aida passed out on the floor in a coma like state and her teammates rushed her to the hospital.
-------
A bit later in the shadow realm.....
"Did you find her?", a man asked in shadows asked.
"Yes...though she seems reluctant", Okita said.
"I don't care. You need her to be with you...and then we can summon Yami again and return to the world of the light.", the man said to him.
"I understand father. Though she is just a young girl. How can I get her to trust me?", Okita asked.
"Hmmm...a young girl? Make her fall in love with you through her dreams and then go see her for real...She will fall for that I am sure.", the man said. "Remember Okita...the Akagi clan must prevail at any costs...", he told him.
"I understand father", Okita said.
"You are dismissed then", the man said. "Do not fail me..."
"I won't", Okita said and left. He wasn't sure he liked this plan as that girl seemed pretty scared, but he would carry out his orders.
