Dreams are like Life
My name is Kyoya Hashigami and I'm a puppet master. I have shoulder length bluish-black hair with green strips here and there. My eyes are turquoise and my skin is tan. Usually I wear a black shirt with a jade green jacket and tan cargo pants covered in pockets.
When I was five I started training with Sasori Akasuna in the art of making and using puppet. I trained with him until he left Suna for the Akatsuki making puppets from the bodies of his victims.
At 10 I followed his lead and began to make puppets out of bodies as well. I have eleven puppets in my procession; ten of which are the Akatsuki and my first, Zabuza Momochi. I was there for all them when they died and I turned them afterwards.
I'm the champ about to show the world his colors.

I'm running through the forest; my best puppet and battle partner Zabuza was following. We were on our way to Konoha. I was training to be the perfect ninja for 4 years; I am now fourteen. I am a master in puppetry but also have impeccable aim and a few other justu.
"Halt! What is your business!" shouted a guard; I guess I'm at the gates.
I motioned my hand and hid Zabuza as I picked up speed towards the gate. I wasn't going to say a word to them; only the Hokage.
"Stop!" they tried to stop me again with words before attacking with force.
I dodged all of their attacks; only a few landed on my armor.I was about at the gate and was going to jump over but was stopped by the team that killed some of my puppets.
Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, and Sasuke Uchiha. I smirked; this was going to be fun.
I grabbed three scrolls from my pants and activated them while motioning Zabuza to my front. When the smoked cleared Team 7 gasped when they saw their dead rivals. Sasori, Itachi, Pein, and Zabuza all in my front ready to fight.
"Impossible!" shouted Kakashi.
"Not really!" I took their distraction and flipped over them onto the wall.
Sasori and Itachi were in my front deflecting kunai after kunai while Zabuza and Pein were on my back.
Whizzzz
I turn and see 4 kunai coming my way.
Clang, clank, clang clang
I sigh in relief after Zabuza got them. "Thanks Zabuza." I said and he grunts in acknowledgement.
We were on the other side of the wall; I knew the village had hundreds of ninjas so I had to be prepared. I took out 7 more scrolls and activated them.
I had to laugh at the faces of shock now that the whole Akatsuki plus Zabuza was running through their village with me. I knew this wouldn't get me points on the nice or trust list but it was worth it.
We continued to run; dodging blade after blade and finally I saw the Hokage tower in the distance. I motioned my hand and the eleven puppets began to speed up with me.
"Stop!" I look and see an ANBU running by my side.
I growled then motioned for Deidara to take the ninja out of my path. Deidara went forward and used his forearm to strike to man hard and said man went crashing down.
I sigh and used my chakra strings to catch him and dropped him closer to the ground; I hated using mercy.
I continued to run and I pumped chakra into my feet and ran up the Hokage tower wall once there. I had to dodge more and more ANBU and their weapons as we went up.
"Stop!" shouted a feminine voice.
I obeyed and stopped with the Akatsuki for in front of us was the Hokage. I showed my understanding in her power and bowed.
"Sorry about the village wide fear but I wish to talk to you," I said.
"Did you revive the Akatsuki?" her voice was dripping with venom.
I looked at the puppets behind me then at her. "Sadly no, these are puppets," I motioned Pein to the front. "Look." I began to knock on his head. "See?"
She came over and began to look over my puppets. I made sure none of them moved. "How?" she asked.
"Just like Sasori did to the humans he killed," I said.
"So you've killed people?" she was getting angry.
"No, I assure you that I only own the Akatsuki and Zabuza," I said and she nodded.
"I'm guessing you want to be a ninja here?" she asked.
I smirked. "That would be fun."
"LEAVE HER ALONE!"
"Huh?" I turn and see that Naruto kid coming at me with a kunai. I brought my arms up to protect myself and waited for it.
Crack
I opened my eyes and looked to see Zabuza in front of me. I sighed in relief. "Are you alright Kyoya?" he asked.
I smiled and nodded. "Good, I not going to let you mistake this kid as weak," he shoved Naruto off. "I made that mistake and look where that got me."
I hopped on his back in a hug. "Fighting by my side and someone to love you," I said.
He sighs a happy sigh and petted me on the head like a dog. "You got me there."
"I thought he was a puppet?" said Tsunade.
"He is but there is a seal in his body that keeps his soul there. He controls himself but if I had to I can get control," I said with a smile.
"I'm getting a headache from all this," started Naruto.
"Let's go to my office," finished Tsunade.
I nodded and returned the Akatsuki to their scrolls. Zabuza and I walked with them to the window and into the office.
_0()0_
After about an hour of explaining my training and intentions I was finally granted permission to live in the village as a shinobi granted I kept the Akatsuki in their scrolls and use them only away from the village.
"You will go on any mission with any team that I assign you," she told me and I nodded.
"Alright, Naruto show him around the village why don't you?" she asked.
Naruto sighed before nodding and leading me and Zabuza out the window. "You could use the door for once!" shouted Tsunade on our way out.
I smirked and looked at Naruto once we were on the ground. He looked like he didn't want to do this.
"I can show myself around," I said.
"No it's cool but can we stop for lunch first?" he asked.
I thought about it then shrugged. "Only if it's ramen," I said.
Naruto's eyes widened then he smirked. "I know the perfect place."
We walked a few minutes before stopping at a place called Ichiraku. Naruto got miso ramen while I got shrimp ramen. While Naruto and I ate Zabuza waited and watched our surroundings.
Whizzzz
Crank
"Huh?" Naruto turns and his eyes widened at the windmill shuriken lodged on Zabuza's sword.
"I'm afraid you weren't fast enough and was too loud, Uchiha," I said.
I hopped down from my seat and put my left hand on Itachi's scroll in case of emergency.
"You have Itachi," he said and I nodded. "Get rid of him," his voice was full of venom for each word.
I smirked. "Sorry but no, he is mine now and not even the Hokage can make me to get rid of him," I said.
Sasuke growled and came at me with a kunai but Zabuza met him in the middle with his sword to hold him back.
"If you like you can train with me and him," I said.
"Yeah," I turn to Naruto. "Let's go to training ground 7. We can use your puppets out there away from the village," he said.
I shrugged and began walking after Naruto to the training field. Zabuza was following shortly and then Sasuke.
"I know Sasuke wants to fight puppet Itachi but what about you Naruto?" I asked.
"Hmmm… I never got the honor of fighting Sasori," he said. I smirked and nodded.
In about ten minutes we were at the grounds. I popped my neck and shoulders before grabbing the two scrolls I needed. I chanted a few special charms and activated Itachi and Sasori without my charka strings to hold them. (Hint, hint) Once the smoke clear there stood Itachi and Sasori looking as emotionless and blank as ever.
Itachi smirked. "Well, well, well, if it isn't my little brother Sasuke," he said.
Sasuke gaped at Itachi. "Kyoya that isn't funny!" shouted Naruto.
"I didn't say it. They have the same charm as Zabuza. You're looking at Sasori and Itachi in the soul and puppet flesh," I told them.
Sasuke and Naruto's eyes widened. "Have fun," I said. Zabuza sat behind me and I landed in his lap to watch.
Itachi activated his puppet Sharingan and Sasori removed his cloak to show his blades and cord. Sasuke and Naruto looked to each other and shared a smirk before grabbing a kunai and going into their battle stance. Naruto gave a battle cry before going after Sasori and Sasuke silently went after Itachi.
I watched them train for about three hours then for the last two hours I did taijustu with Zabuza. Once we were done training we were wheezing and Sasori was missing an arm while Itachi miss-placed an eye; Zabuza had a nick or two.
"Huh-huh, good job today boys," I wheezed. "I'll get you guys repaired when we find a wood shop," I said.
"Has anyone seen my eye?" asked Itachi, he was scratching his head in confusion and looking around.
"Onyx or Crimson," asked Zabuza.
"Crimson," Itachi responded.
"No," said everyone and he sighs in irritation.
"I'll replace your Sharingan, don't worry," I assured him.
"How does a puppet have Sharingan?" asked Sasuke.
"Chakra pumped into my eyes allows me to copy your moves into memory and my body changes gears to allow the movement," said Itachi.
"Who created it?" asked Naruto.
"I did," I said. "I had to put a lot a springs and bands to allow the movement change. And we had to do a lot of annoying training, he practically forgot every taijustu move he knew," I said and Itachi scowled in annoyance.
"Hey we should go before the wood shop closes," said Naruto.
I turned and saw the sunset coming early. "Yeah, Sasori hide your stub in your cloak and Itachi leave that eye closed," I instructed.
The two did as they were told and followed after me and the others to the town and down the street. We got many odd looks as we walked through the village and as I looked for the town's wood shop I saw a grocery.
"Hey Naruto," I called and he walks up to me. "Mind going in there and getting some eel or shrimp ramen; I give you the money," I asked.
Naruto smile and nodded then walked into the store.
"Hey there's the wood shop," said Zabuza pointing.
I turn and sure enough there it was. "Wait out here, Zabuza you follow," I said and started to walk in the shop. "Oh and no violence unless necessary," I added then walked in.
I looked around and chose a few huge, human high planks of wood which would be sent to my new house for new puppets. I looked more and found a reasonable 3' by 4' plank for Sasori's arm and a small sphere for Itachi's eye; they would just need some carving. I went to the front to pay and the clerk wasn't amused.
"That's a lot of wood," he said.
"Yup," I went to my backpack and began to pull my money out.
"Can I ask what this wood is for?" the clerk asked.
I looked up and scowled. "No you can't," I said; I didn't want him in my business.
The clerk sighed and gave up on the conversation. He gave me my wood and told me the planks would be delivered by tomorrow. I thanked him and walked outside while I began to cut at Itachi's new eye.
"Here's your ramen Kyoya." I look up from my art and see Naruto with two bags of eel, shrimp, and other fish ramen.
"Thanks," I took them from him and began home.
"Where do you live?" Naruto was trailing behind me.
"I'm living in an estate near the Inuzuka clan," I told him.
"Really, maybe you'll meet Kiba and Akumaru," he said.
"I hope he isn't hostile towards wood," I said.
"No but he's a good friend to have around, might help you in your training," he said.
I smiled; I was now walking up the porch to my new home. "See ya later Kyoya," said Naruto.
I smiled and waved. "Later."
I walked inside and took in my surroundings. I walked into the kitchen and put my ramen away in the cabinets.
"Nice place," commented Sasori.
"Yeah," I said. "Alright to the backyard for wildling galore."
I walk outside and took a seat on Zabuza's lap once he was on the ground; I activated my other 8 scrolls while chanting the magic charm. Once the smoke cleared there before me was the Akatsuki in soul.
"Alright this is our new home; make sure it stays in one piece and not in pieces. I have to do some repairs for Sasori and Itachi so be good," I said.
"Yes, Leader," they chimed and separated.
I sighed irritably; they have been calling me that since I revived them and controlled them, it was utterly annoying.
"Tobi," I called and he rushed to my front.
"Yes, Yoyo?" ah, my little nickname.
"Activate Sasori and Itachi's detail scrolls?" I asked.
Tobi nodded and began to activate the scroll I gave him. Each puppet had a scroll with paint and other details for the person personally; such as skin or eye colors.
Once Tobi activated the scrolls he hands me white, red, and black for Itachi's Sharingan. I carefully began to paint it to look like the other and Itachi and Sasori waited patiently talking among themselves. After about fifteen minutes I was done.
"Come here 'Tachi," I said.
Itachi stood and then kneeled before me. I pulled out my pliers and began to search for the spring in his socket to connect his new eye to. Once I found it and snapped it on, Itachi thanked me and walked inside; probably to watch T.V. with the others.
I sigh and pulled out the block I was going to use for Sasori's arm. I cut it into many pieces for his sockets and joint and other what knots. After three hours it was about ten and I was ready to put it on him.
I motion Sasori over and began to hammer in the parts of his arm til he was whole again. Sasori thanked me and walked inside. I sighed once I was alone with Zabuza and leaned against his chest.
"You guys are a lot of work," I said; I began to lose consciousness into my slumber.
Zabuza chuckled and I shook against his chest. "Yes, but you know you like the work," he replied.
I mumbled whatever before falling asleep in Zabuza's embrace.
_0()0_
"Kyoya."
I wave hand at the voice. "Go away," I mumbled.
"Kyoya, I thought you might like to go to the Ninja Academy to watch." I open an eye and see Zabuza.
I sigh and hold my arms out. "Carry me," I whined and closed my eyes again.
Zabuza chuckles then picks me up and holds me to his stomach like a sloth and I hooked on. I loved it when he carried me; it was like hugging a giant teddy bear.
Zabuza walks me to the kitchen and as we go I hear many 'hellos' and 'good morning's' which I answered with a groan or whine.
Once in the kitchen I am sat on a chair and I let my head fall to hit the table; I wasn't a morning person. I hear Zabuza sigh and I felt him move his hands to my ribs; my eyes widened for I knew what was next.
He started to tickle me mercilessly. "Hahaha! Zabuza! Gahaha! Stop!" I shouted between breaths.
"What? I can't hear you!" he said over my laughter and now some were watching.
"Uncle! Uncle!" I shouted and finally he stopped. I gasped for air and was still giggling as he put me back in my chair.
"Alright Akatsuki once Yoyo catches his breath we're leaving so gather in the dining room to be chosen!" shouted Zabuza.
Everyone complied and was now surrounding the table. Once I caught my breath I chose Kisame, Itachi, Pein, Sasori, Hidan, and Kakuzu to come with Zabuza and me to the ninja school. I put them in their scrolls and after some cereal we left.
We used chakra to jump on the rooftops to the Ninja Academy. Once there we took a seat on an apple tree to watch the students practice aim. I took an apple and began to eat it as kids threw shuriken at a tree stump with a target.
"Hey who are you?" I look down and see a black haired boy in a black shirt and green shorts looking at me.
"I'm Kyoya, and you are?" I asked.
"I'm Asuma Jr but you have to call me Asuma," he said and I nodded.
"Asuma Jr it's your turn!" shouted his instructor.
"Yeah, my turn to be the fool, I suck at this," he muttered and began to walk away.
I smirked; as he walked away I patted him on the back while planting my chakra stings. "Good luck," I said.
He smiled and walked away. The teacher gave him a shuriken and I moved my fingers as he threw it and it hit dead center. Everyone cheered and I took pride as he smiled at me in thanks.
"That's cheating you know."
I jumped in surprise and fell out of the tree; I rubbed my head after an apple landed on it. I look up and see Team 7's teacher Kakashi.
"What do you know Kakashi?" I grumbled.
"So you know my name but I can't know yours?" he asked.
I huffed and stood. "Kyoya Hashigami," I said and bowed in greeting.
"I'm Iruka Umino, the teacher of the student you helped cheat," growled a tan man.
I blushed and rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I was never good with aim either when I was young," I said and some blonde girl sneered.
"I bet you use those Akatsuki puppets to fight for you," she said.
I growled and grabbed senbon between my fingers and threw it at the target. Each needle made it into the center and the girl's eyes widened in shock.
"I don't need my puppets for everything little girl," I sneered and then I walked up to the target and pulled my senbon out and replaced them in my holster.
I looked back at the girl and remembered when she went up and how her aim was bad. I sigh and walk up to her. I gave her a shuriken and held her arm to help her aim.
"Pull back, deep breath, then throw," I said.
She looked confused before she looked forward and threw the weapon. She hit about an inch from dead center.
Good job," I said and she smiled. I started to walk back to Zabuza and leave when Iruka stopped me.
"Would you mind if you showed the students how you fight?" he asked.
I smirked and turned around. "Sorry but I only came to watch," I made a peace sign and left with Zabuza on my tail. "See ya Iruka, see ya Kakashi," I said.
I made a few hand signs and poofed Zabuza and I to Ichiraku. I sit down and order some eel ramen. As I wait I look to my left and see Naruto with a stack of empty ramen bowls next to him.
"How many bowls does he usually eat?" I ask the cook.
The cook looks to Naruto then back at me and shrugs. "It grows every time he's here, last number was 7 and he's on his 8th right now," the cook said.
"Done!" announced Naruto. He puts money on the counter and left without a second glance.
I sigh and began to eat the ramen the waitress had put in front of me. I turned in my seat with the bowl in my hands and began to watch the people walking down the street.
"Hey." I turn and see a teen in a jounin vest and a pineapple ponytail. I looked at him lazily and continued to eat my ramen. The boy took a seat next to me.
"The name's Shikamaru Nara and your Kyoya right?" he asked and I nodded. "Naruto told me and a few other kids that you had the Akatsuki in your control," he said.
I shrugged and nodded again. "So what?" I asked.
"Would it be troublesome for you to train with me against your Hidan puppet?" he asked.
Before answering I looked to the sky to ensure it wasn't too late then turned to face Shikamaru. "Whatever," I pay for my ramen and motioned for Shikamaru to follow as I left to training field 7 but was stopped as an ANBU poofed in front of me.
"Kyoya Hashigami?" he asked.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Lord Hokage wants you for a mission," said the ANBU and he left.
I sigh and turn to Shikamaru. "Sorry duty calls," I said and looked at Zabuza. "Go home and get the others?" I asked.
"Sure," replied Zabuza and he started to run home.
I sigh and poof to the Hokage tower. Once in the office I bowed at the Hokage and stood straight. I look to my left and see Team 7 and Team Gai.
"Glad to see you here Hashigami," said Hokage. "Those who don't know him, this is Kyoya Hashigami, Konoha's puppeteer," she said.
"It is a pleasure to meet a new youthful ninja," started a man in green spandex. "I am Gai Maito," he said.
"My team is Rock Lee, Neji, and Tenten," he said and I nodded in acknowledgement.
Before Hokage could debrief us Zabuza came in with my other scrolls. He tossed them and one by one I put them in my pants pockets.
"Alright your mission is to escort a princess home. She is wanted by many assassins and merchants," started the Hokage. "She is to be returned safely to Iwagakure," she finished.
Everyone chimed their yeses in understanding. "This should be easy," I said.
_0()0_
"Me and my big mouth," I muttered.
Team Gai was protecting the princess as Team 7 and I fought off rouge ninjas. I was fighting without my puppets; only Zabuza on my flank; I was in the zone but I lost it when I saw a man summon Hidan's long lost scythe.
"That's Hidan's-," I was cut short when the man chopped my head off.
Everyone froze and gasped waiting for my body to fall; sadly it wouldn't. I used a jutsu to hide my head in an invisible cloak. Once I was hidden I motioned my body to grab a kunai.
I ran forward to a still shocked ninja and slit his throat then threw the kunai at an unsuspecting ninja behind me. My fighting seemed to break everyone's trance for they began to fight again.
"Kyoya?" I look and see that Gai had sent Lee to find my head but I knew he wouldn't find me.
I made my body run at the man with Hidan's lost scythe and stabbed him in the back. He howled in pain and fell to his death. I grasped the scythe from him and began to kill off ninja with it.
Once the rouges were dead everyone was wheezing and trying to catch their breaths.
"Kyoya?" I turn my body to the voice and it was Naruto. "Where is your head?"
My body froze and began to look for me. It acted on its own when it was looking for me. I sigh and began to call for it.
"Hey dipstick," I dropped my camouflage. "To your left… right… okay freeze and reach down. There you go." My body held me to my neck and I shuddered as my tissues began to burn and meld together.
"Are you immortal Kyoya?" asked Kakashi.
Once the pain subsided I popped my neck and answered. "Yes, sadly," I sigh. "It's true about my training but that was really twenty-five years ago, not five," I said.
"Because it was twenty years before Sasori left to join the Akatsuki," said Sakura.
"Yup," I replied. I growled as I pop my shoulders, back, and fingers.
"That sounds painful," commented Tenten.
"Feels good actually," I replied.
Once I was done I walked up to the princess and she flinched and backed up. I sigh; I had scared her. I back up and kept my distance the rest of the way to Iwagakure.
We traveled the rest of the way without a hitch; no ninjas, just peace and quiet. I had kept Hidan's scythe and was sharpening it while we walked. After a few hours of walking we made it the princess's father's kingdom.
"I don't know how I can thank you enough for keeping my daughter safe on your voyage," said the King. I was barely listening, he wasn't thanking me; his daughter fibbed on me. "Please stay for the night, I insist," said the King.
"I wish we could but we must return to Konoha, we are its protectors as well," said Kakashi.
"If that is what you wish," said the King.
After everyone bathed and changed we left for the six hour trip back home.
_0()0_
I walk in the door of my home and fall to the ground; I was tired. Zabuza walks in behind me and picks me up. He carries me to my room and lies down next to me. I rest my head on his chest; he didn't sleep but he still liked to watch me. I sigh in content as he kissed my forehead through his bandages and I finally fell asleep.
_0()0_
"Kyoya, wake up," said a firm voice.
"Go away Zabu," I whined.
"Alright." I feel myself picked up. "Don't say I didn't try."
I opened an eye and saw Zabuza looking at me apologetically. I became confused but that changed to anger with his next action. He stuck my head in the shower while the water was cold. I screamed like a girl and scrambled to sit up and held onto Zabuza while he laughed.
I scowled and he sat me on the toilet seat. He turned the faucet and made the water warmer. Zabuza faced me and pulled off my boxers and put me in the shower. I leaned against the wall while I waited for Zabuza to enter.
Zabuza was like my lover; we did everything together and I'm still a virgin to all pervs wondering. I sigh happily as I felt Zabuza wash my back with a soapy cloth. I moaned as my muscled began to relax under his touch.
Zabuza chuckled and kissed and sucked on my neck. I was in heaven.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Really, at a time like this," I scowled. "Excuse me."
I walk out the shower and cover myself with a towel. I walk to the front door and got hellos from the Akatsuki; I guessed that Zabuza activated them.
I open the door harsh and angrily. "What!" I shouted.
"I guess this is a bad time," said Kakashi.
"Kinda," I said irritated. "What is it?" I asked.
"Some teams are joining in training field 7 together to train, want to come?" he asked.
I thought and shrugged. "I'll come late, I still need to shower and eat," I told him.
"Okay and you can bring the Akatsuki if you like," he added and walked off.
I smirked and ran in the house. "Puppets, we're going to training field in ten minutes. Get your weapons ready!" everyone said yes and left. "Kuzu, mind getting my scythe and holster ready," I asked.
"Sure!" he shouted.
I ran back to the bathroom and finished my hair quickly while explaining to Zabuza the plans. I got dressed and ate some toast as I left with the Akatsuki on my back.
We were in the training field in no time flat. I popped my joints and they heard as I did my shoulders.
"Good Morning," said Kakashi; I knew he was smiling so I returned it.
"Morning," I looked to everyone else and knew there was at least four teams. "I'm sure you know the Akatsuki, please don't break any limbs; it takes forever to build and replace them," I said and I heard Kakashi or Gai chuckle.
"I'm Kurenai and this is my team," said a black haired woman. "Shino, Hinata, Kiba and his dog Akumaru," she told me.
"These are my teammates Ino and Choji," said Shikamaru.
"Nice to meet you all," I started. "I'm Kyoya Hashigami," I told them.
I turn and face the Akatsuki. "Alright training rules: number one and most obvious no killing," I wrenched. "Number two: no cursing Hidan; they don't want their ears to bleed. Rule number three: have fun," I said and they smiled. "They choose you or you choose them."
"I call Nara!" shouted Hidan with his hand raised.
"Knock yourself out, tiger," I said and he smiled and walked towards Shikamaru.
Everyone dispersed except for Zabuza who would do close combat with me. I saw Itachi go to Sasuke and Naruto, Sasori went to Sakura. Kiba and Shino shared Konan and Hinata went against Tobi. Ino went against her double ganger Deidara and Choji chose to sit out. Zetsu went to challenge Neji and Lee went against Pein. Finally Kakuzu went to Tenten and Kisame walked up to Kakashi and Gai.
"How 'bout some training like the old days?" asked Kisame.
"Of course youthful Kisame, but I must ask that you put away Samehada," replied Gai.
"Don't worry, it isn't real," said Kisame.
"It isn't?" asked Gai.
"Nope," I said and they turned to me. "Neither I nor anyone else could fine the original so I made that one out of stone," I told them.
"Yeah, look," Kisame began to unwrap the top of his sword; under it was a look alike of Samehada but slightly grayish and harder as well.
"Ah I see. Then let's begin," said Gai. Kisame smirked and they went head to head to head in their training.
I turn to Zabuza. "What do you want to do? Taijustu or blade on blade?" I asked.
Zabuza thought about it before answering. "How 'bout we work on using Hidan's scythe?" he asked.
"Emphasis on HIDAN'S SCYTHE!" shouted Hidan across the field.
I growled; I guess he was still pissed. I had decided to keep it for myself to use and Hidan put up a fight for it. Finally after an hour of yelling Zabuza convince Hidan that he would be rusty and that he needed all the skills he had, so he had told him his newer scythe would be better.
"I use MY SCYTHE fine!" I shouted so Hidan could hear me too.
"Oh really!" he shouted back. He pulled out four kunai and threw them at me and I pulled my scythe from my back and deflected them.
"Ha!" I shouted.
Hidan growled and began to come at me with his scythe. I meet him mid field and began to swipe my blade at him. We were exchanging fist, blades, and insults to each other.
"Who plays with doll!" shouted Hidan trying to get my head.
"Well who was left behind by their almighty god!" I shouted and pushed him five feet back.
He gasps and I could see his angry tears. Before I had dug Hidan's body up he had come to the terms that Jashin had left him but he still hated to have people rub it in. Hidan furiously wipes his tears away and comes at me crazy.
I smirk and disarm him when he was close enough and then I pushed him to the ground with my scythe over his neck. I was breathing heavy and smiling at my victory but it was short lived when Hidan began to cry sad tears.
Hidan sniffed then spoke. "Do you to rub in the fact I'm alone?" his voice was shaky.
"Hidan, I know you're insane," I grab his hand and help him stand, "but you're surrounded by 10 men and 1 woman 24/7. I think," I give him a hanky, "that you are far from alone," I finally finished.
Hidan sniffs again then wipes his tears with my handkerchief. He smiles shakily. "Thanks," he said.
"What for? We're always here, it's not like we have anything better to do than to be here," I replied and held out my fist for him to bump.
Hidan chuckled at my joke and hit his fist against mine. "I guess I'm more exciting than anything else," he said.
"Not more than Tobi!" shouted Tobi while he sparred.
Hidan's eye twitched. "You're not exciting you're annoying!
"There's the Hidan I know," I muttered.
'Pop.'
My eyes widened when I found myself surrounded by four ANBU.
"Kyoya Hashigami?" asked one with a cat's mask.
I grip my scythe tighter; these guys seemed hostile. "Is there something I can do for you boys?" I asked.
"Lord Tsunade demands your present," said a female in a baboon mask.
"Alright, let's go Zabuza," I said.
"No puppets, she said," said the cat masked man.
"Then I'm afraid I can't go," I told them.
"Fine bring it," growled cat mask.
"Him," I growled. "Pein you're in charge," I said and then poofed Zabuza and I to the Hokage's office.
At the office the ANBU stood at the exits and two were behind me. The Hokage kind of looked pissed and drunk. I guessed I was right because there was a trash bin filled with sake bottles.
I bow and address her. "Yes Lord Hokage?" I asked.
"You've been keeping secrets from us," said the Hokage.
"Oh really," I look at the ceiling in thought, then back at her. "Do tell," I asked.
"Don't you think it's important to tell me if you're a demon host?" she wretched.
I laughed at her. "Is that it?" I asked in between breaths. "No need to worry. Kuro and I are on good turns," I said when I was done.
"Good terms?" she asked.
"Yup," I turn around and pull my shirt off. "That tattoo I was born with; Kuro pumps chakra into it and I have instant wings of any creature on my back," I told her and turn around.
"So in other words he helps you fly?" asked Tsunade astonished.
"Yup," I said with pride.
"Took forever to learn though," muttered Zabuza and I scowled at him.
The Hokage sighs and smiles. "I guess I over reacted, I'm sorry," she said.
"No worries," I replied. "Can we return to our training?" I asked.
"Sure," she said with a smile.
I growl and scratch my back near my tattoo. "Man all this talk about flying makes my wings itch," I said.
"Only one way to make it better," said Zabuza.
"Yup so see ya," I said quickly.
I jump out the window and let my wings loose. I sigh in content as my original black crows' wings push me through the air. I smirked at the sound of shock and astonishment from below.
"Demon of death un!" I scowled and looked down to see Deidara had shouted. He was with Sasori thankfully.
I smirk and swoop down and pick up Hidan. I fly up higher and higher while only holding only his ankle.
"Got to live up to my name," I said.
Deidara's eyes widen. "You wouldn't," he said scared.
"I would," I let go and let him drop a few feet then grab him again.
"Knock it off and put me down un!" yelled Deidara.
"Whatever you say," I let him go and swoop past him to the ground. In a few seconds Deidara was in my arms breathing heavy though he didn't need the air.
"I hate it when you do that," he ground out.
I smirk and put him on his feet. "I thought you like the excitement?" I asked
"I liked it at first but after the first few times it became boring and annoying," he said.
"Don't you mean scary?" Sasori asked with a smirk.
"Yeah right un," replied Deidara. "The others are under a Sakura tree watching the living eat un," Hidan told me.
"Kay thanks," I said. I unfurl my wings; they came to a total of 14 feet. "Dragon!" I shout and my wings lose their feathers and become leathery. They became bigger like two giant parachutes.
"Be home by six," I told him and jumped up then began to flap my wings.
I was faster getting into the sky then I was before because my wings were catching more. I was at the Sakura tree in ten minutes. I sit on a branch then return my wings to my back and shortly after I notice Zabuza with them, along with Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Pein, Konan, and Itachi. I decided to keep quiet and see what they were talking about.
"Zabuza can I ask you a question?" asked Naruto.
"Besides the one you just asked, sure," replied Zabuza.
Naruto hesitated before asking. "What is there… after death?" he asked and the other watched in interest for his answer.
Zabuza sighs in content. "One word kids: peace," he told them.
"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke.
"After death you're taken to the place you desire most or to the people you miss the most," said Pein.
"When I died," started Itachi, "mom and dad were in the middle of a beautiful grassy and sunny field. They for gave me," Itachi said with a smile.
"Did you see Haku, Zabuza?" asked Sakura.
I see Zabuza smile and he wiped away a tear that had fallen. "Yes, he was happy to see me but thought it wasn't my time," said Zabuza. "When Kyoya opened that portal to our world, giving me a chance to live again, Haku made me take it," said Zabuza.
"I bet you miss him," said Naruto.
"Of course," said Zabuza. "Just like Sasuke and Sakura do their parents, but I know to keep him here," and Zabuza brought a fist up to his chest where his heart was.
I sigh; I knew I had made these guys sad by bringing them here. Even though they had the choice to say no I still felt like they were happier where they were before they met me.
"Peaceful or better, I'm glad I met Kyoya." My eyes widen and I look down.
"Yeah," said Itachi and he frowned while putting his hand on Sasuke's. "I made some bad choices in life. Kyoya gave me the chance to fix them and also helped me make new choices," he said.
"Kyoya helped me with so much," started Konan. "He saved me from myself; I had a depression problem but Kyoya was there. When I was lost in a dark place he was there; he was flashing lights and calling my name. He found me," said Konan and she wiped a tear.
"I agree with Itachi. Hunting the jinjuriki wasn't my greatest choice to spend life doing. I died for a cause that wouldn't have made even if I survived," said Pein and he smirked. "You were just too strong Naruto," he finished and Naruto smiled.
I sniff and wipe away my tears of joy. It was nice to hear them say these things about me.
"You want to join us Yoyo?" asked Zabuza.
Everyone looked up and saw me. I smile and wave sheepishly before jumping down and sitting on Zabuza's lap.
"I'm glad I met you guys too," I told them and dried my face.
"Imagine where we would be," we look to the left and we see Hidan and Kakuzu.
"Or us," we look the other way and see Zetsu and Tobi.
"Don't forget us un," we look up and see Sasori and Deidara in the tree.
"We need each other to keep moving," said Hidan.
Everyone was seated around me now. I smile and wiped my face as more tears fell.
"I'm happy with my family," I said and leaned back into Zabuza.
"We should be getting home," Zabuza said.
"Alright," said Naruto.
"Bye," said Sakura.
"See ya, 'Tachi," said Sasuke and the three walked away.
I sigh in content but that turned to a sharp intake of breath. "Whoa." Zabuza picked me up bridal style.
"Bridal or piggy?" he asked.
"Piggy," I said with a smile. With my help, Zabuza maneuvered me to his back. I lock my arms and legs on him and sigh happily as I rest my head on his shoulder.
"Let's go home guys," said Zabuza. Zabuza began to lead my family home.
Mine… yeah, they were mine and no one could have them.
My vision began to blur as I watched the sunset through the buildings. My last image was of Zabuza and the Akatsuki together… smiling as happy as can be.
Beep Beep Beep
I jolt up and breathe rapidly as I looked around. I was in my bed in my room.
"KYOYA!" I look to the door and my mother walks in. "Kyoya Hashigami you're going to be late!" she said.
"Mom?" I whispered.
She walks up and picks up my Naruto Shippuden manga. "More comics Kyoya, I swear you'll get nightmares," she said. She shakes her head in disapproval and walks out.
I hop out of bed and look around. "Was everything a dream?" I slowly get dress and walked downstairs.
'Hidan, Itachi, Tobi… Zabuza… all a dream,' I thought to myself.
"Here's your lunch," said my mother.
I take my lunch and walk outside. I was thinking as I walked to my school. I hadn't noticed the teen next to me.
"Hey~." I stop and turn. My eyes widened at the Zabuza look alike. "My name is Zabuza Momochi," he said.
I animatedly move my hand for him to shake. "Kyoya," I breathe out and he smiles.
"Nice to meet ya Yoyo," he said.
"Nice to meet you too… Zabu," I smiled wiped away a tear that fell.
"Walk with me to school?" asked Zabuza.
"Sure," I timidly grasp his hand and we walk together.
I look to the sky. "Til my next dream... Akatsuki.'
How was that? I liked the twist that I added. I mean how many adventures like Kyoya's end up a dream? Please read and review.
Later Kyoya and Obito is Majorly Hot.
