Chapter 1: awakening


"Wake up!"

The stern voice made me flinch in the bed. I slowly opened my brownish-black eyes and saw the red-haired woman. "Mito-sama?" I rubbed my sleepy sight and shifted into sitting position. "It's just too early-" My mouth yawned uncontrollably, but it does not have any effect on the firm woman.

"There's a lot of work you have to do." Uzumaki Mito threw my warm duvet from my little form and I felt how the coldness tried to sneak underneath my white nightdress.

"There's not single shinobi who sleep in such a hour!" Mito frowned at me and placed her hands on her hips.

I pouted as I left my lovely soft bed and headed to the bathroom. Uzumaki kunoichi watched my every step as if I tried ever to run away. The only thing that left for me was my silent growl, even though I tried to do it as quiet as possible, I'm pretty sure that crimson-haired woman heard me.

"Hurry up Ishi-chan!" Mito commanded and folded her arms across her chest.

...

After light breakfast Mito led me through the streets of Konoha to the hospital. Because I'm an orphan I have to make a money for living on my own and helping in hospital is the only thing I can do.

My name is Ishi and I'm five years old. Kids in my age always asking me where my parents are, but this question is mystery even for me. As far as I can remember I never had a mother nor father. The people who are raising me are mostly Uzumaki Mito and her husband, The First Hokage Senju Hashirama. The place where I live is called Konoha. It's peaceful place, nice and full of kind people, but somewhere deep inside I'm not really happy, but I can't say exactly why. Who knows, maybe it's because of my early age.

But, even though I'm only five I posses something what the others call gift. My chakra can heal without hand seals. As I heard, there's no one in Konoha with such a precious gift, but in this moment I don't really care about my healing abilities. I use them in hospital, it's tiring and exhausting, but I don't have anything else to do so why not help to the bunch of idiots who injured themselves in the mission.

"Ohayo-" Mito greeted the lady on the reception and led me to the room of my first patient. I knew exactly whom I'm gonna heal every morning of each day. This woman lay on the hospital bed longer than I live, or I guess so. I started to heal her when I was three I think so. I heard she tried to commit suicide when she jumped from the Hokage's monument. Oh yeah, she actually did, but someone saved her. Hokaga-sama never said who it was, but her life energy and even her chakra are at the level zero, so to keep her on this world I'm using my 'healing touch', Hashirama-sama call my gift like that. Still, I don't understand why they try to keep her alive, this woman is like a living zombie. I need to keep her alive while she's already dead.

"We're here Ishi-chan." Mito opened the door with number thirteen and I saw the usual image as every morning. Uchiha Yuko lay motionless in the white bed. "Begin." Mito closed the door behind her and left me alone with my patient.

...

The only thing I had to do is touch her. So I sat quietly on her bed and held her hand. I watched with lazy eyes as her whole body glowed in pale blue chakra. But those damned seals on her body started to burn again. This woman had her entire body covered in some weird seals. It was some strange symbols that were wrapped around her neck, torso, arms and legs. Hokage-sama said, that this is the reason why her body survived such a great damage.

When I poured my chakra for so long into Yuko-san's body, the seals started to glow in red and they burned like a flames of hell. The First warned me to stop immediately with my healing if the seal will shine with bright red colour. So I did.

"This should be enough for today Yuko-san." I muttered under my breath. "I'll come back later to give you some energy for the night." The smirk played with my lips. I usually talked with her like that. Even though she can't hear me, Yuko-san is the only person I can speak with honestly. I can share with her all my secrets and still be sure that she will not say to anyone. To put it simply, Uchiha Yuko is my best friend.

Usually, I'm waiting for Mito-sama. She always coming in the afternoon and send me for lunch, then I have to come back and help to heal the other patients. It's the most boring thing on the world, but what else I should do? I'm starting academy next year and Hokage-sama told me that this is the best training in medical ninjutsu what I can get.

I jumped from the hospital bed and went into the bathroom to wash my face. As I saw the reflection in the mirror I adjusted my midnight black hair behind my ears. It doesn't matter how many time Hokage-sama will tell me that I'm beautiful girl, I still look like a boy with my short hair and fair skin. Well, I'm only five so I should probably wait for my beautiful exchange. When my hair will grow longer and my body change the shape, maybe then I can be that beautiful girl he's still talking about.

I splashed the cold water on my pale face and returned back to the room. Mito-sama still not present. I checked Yuko-san, her seals turned back into cold black colour. I sighed as I felt my boredom rising.

I stood in front of the window and opened the curtains. Then my eyes caught the sight of a small boy, he was running, probably the three other boys were chasing him. "Morons-" I uttered quietly and retreated few steps back. My back collided with something and I flinched.

"Night stand." I chuckled over my pathetic imagination. Something like, living zombie came for me. I had to laugh. Then my eyes saw that one of the drawers is half opened and something shiny enlightened me.

My eyes turned on the door, then on the motionless kunoichi. "You won't mind it, right?" I asked her warily, then my hand opened the drawer and pulled out the mysterious thing. It was a necklace with the moon pendant, small red stone glowed brightly. "Nice." I whispered. "Is that yours, Yuko-san?" No answer, of course, as always.

I walked back to the mirror and placed the necklace on my neck. My eyes widened slightly when the little stone started to shine even more. In that moment I finally felt like a girl, as if the necklace underlined my delicate side. I smiled brightly and somehow I couldn't take my eyes from the beautiful pendant. With my simply black kimono and dark hair was this small piece of jewelry adorable visible.

"Ishi-chan." The voice of Uzumaki Mito interrupted my admiration and in a shock I quickly hid the necklace under my kimono.

"I'm coming-" When I stepped from the bathroom nothing changed in the room. Yuko-san was still half-dead and Mito-sama frowned, as usual.

"Go for your lunch." She commanded and I did as I was told.

...

Mito-sama gave me some money for my lunch. She always taught me how I should spend my money, also she was the one who was in charge of my clothes. In truth I hate her taste for clothes, I am kunoichi so I should wear a proper outfit for shinobi, right? Mito-sama dressed me in kimonos and all colourful yukatas, it was troublesome, but I couldn't complain, because she was the only person besides Hokage-sama, who cared for me.

When I was done with my lunch I decided to take a walk to the ninja academy. I was so excited, next year is my turn to become Konoha's kunoichi.

"C'mon! Show us something!"

The boy's voice caught my attention. I followed the voices until I saw boy, kneeling on the ground, he was probably in my age. Three other boys ware looking down at him.

"What was it?" One of the older boys shouted. "They called you to be prodigy and you can't do anything against us?" His cocky tone made me crouch my nose.

"Please, that's enough." The boy on the ground spoke with kind voice. I would be pissed if someone would beat me on the ground. "I can't do such a jutsu."

"Then try harder!" The older bastard spat on him.

As I stood there and watched as the boy struggled against those three idiots I realized, that this is the same boy I saw ran in front of the hospital. What should I do? What should I do? I felt my anger rising, but what am I supposed to do in situation like this? I'm not great help for that poor boy, those three looked like a genins already and I'm not even in the academy yet.

But I couldn't just watch them neither. I want to be the best medical ninja and medical ninjas always helping the others, they saving lives, right? So, I should do something, anything, but what I can do? I can touch them with my healing chakra and probably helping them from toothache or in a worst I would restore their life and chakra energy on maximum so they would beat us down for sure.

Dam it! Do something! Do something! I couldn't watch anymore how they used their fists to force him to show them some kind of jutsu. "Stop it already please!" I shouted with my so girlish voice, the fear could be hear for miles. Suddenly, I found myself standing in front of the kneeling boy and defending him with my spread hands.

"Move away, you little brat!" One of those boys barked and I felt my knees started to tremble.

"N-no!" I managed to say. "I am... I am iryo ninja and I...I-"

"And you what?" One of them stepped forward and I felt my heart in my throat. "Will you heal us?" All of them started to laugh.

I gritted my teeth until my jaw hurts. "You-" I growled and released my healing energy, maybe if they will see my body glow in my pale blue chakra they will talk to me seriously. But, like on the purpose, nothing happened. As if something sucked all my chakra. My head felt dizzy and my vision gone blurry.

I guess that I looked horrible in that moment, because all three boys looked somehow shocked and then they started to run. "Oh?" I blinked several times and then my lips formed bright smile.

"Did you see?" I turned my attention to the boy behind my back, his eyes widened. "I scared them away!" I was so proud on myself.

"I don't think so-" The boy rose on his feet and with his finger he pointed on me. "I think it's that shiny thing on your neck. That's scared them."

I turned my eyes down. The necklace shone brightly then ever, I guess now I know where is all my chakra. "What is it?" I asked more for myself.

"Your necklace is glowing." The boy noted.

"Oh really." I rolled my eyes. "I did not notice." I sighed. "It's not mine, so I don't know what's wrong."

"In that case, you better return it to the owner." He smiled politely.

"Uhn..." I nodded. "You're right." I wanted to leave to the hospital, but that boy stopped me.

"Wait! Ehm...thank you." He smiled even more. "My name is Akio and you are?"

"I'm late!" I shouted and started to run back to the hospital.

"Late?" Akio muttered. "What a weird name."

...

"You're late!" Mito scolded me in the entrance to the building."Iryo ninja who's coming late endanger his comrades."

"I'm so sorry Mito-sama." I bowed my head in shame.

"Hn." She still held that firm gaze. "There." She passed me the paper with names and room numbers of my patients. "Began."

"Hai." I took the paper and walked away. Before I start I have to return this weird thing on my neck. I headed into Yuko-san's room. Number thirteen, great! I opened the door and froze, someone stood next to her bed.

"Excuse me-" I muttered and the man turned to face me. My eyes slightly widened as I stared at the shinobi with spiky black hair, his eyes were strict and on his face was large scar.

"Hello." He greeted politely. "Do you need something?"

I was stunned, this woman never had any visitors, or I never met one. And then I realized that I'm in really bad situation. What if this man is the one who gave her this necklace? He would call me a stealer! "I just... I came to check her-"

His eyes narrowed, suspicion reeked from him. "Why?"

"I... I am her healer!" I managed to cough out.

"Oh?" He raised one of his thin eyebrow. "No way!" Suddenly. the suspicion was replaced with curiosity. "Could you be..." He chuckled quietly. "You are Ishi, am I right?"

I just nodded nervously. I shoudn't come back here, I should just do my work and return that stupid necklace later.

"I suppose, I should thank you." The scarred man smiled unexpectedly.

"What-" I asked and he apparently sniffed my confusion judging by his smile.

"It must be annoying and exhausting for a little girl like you to spend all day in hospital, right?" He asked and folded his arms across his chest.

"Well, sometimes." I nodded. "But, since I possess this gift it can't be helped."

"You're very wise as I see." He came closer to me, I stood my ground firmly. "And you grew pretty well since the last time I saw you."

"Do you know me?"

There he laughed softly. "Everyone knows you Ishi-chan. Someone with such a gift is very rare among the shinobi." His eyes traveled across my face for a brief moment. "This woman-" He turned to the motionless kunoichi on the bed. "This woman is my goddaughter you know."

"Is she?" I gulped heavily. I'm in real trouble, I'm sure he knows about this damned necklace. What should I do now? Tell the truth or lie? While my mind rummaged thru my brain to come up with some good excuse he continued in his speech.

"I very much appreciate your willingness to heal Yuko even though we don't know if she ever come back to us." His gaze saddened.

"Uhn...ehm-"

"Kon." The man gave me the answer.

"Yes-" I smiled sheepishly. "Kon-san, what happened to her?" I asked this question really warily.

He was quiet for a moment as if he thinking about his answer. "You know Ishi, this is caused by loneliness and loss of loved ones."

Before I could react the door in the room opened. My terrified gaze found Mito-sama who was, as always, frowning at me. "Mi- Mito-sama!" I yelped with high voice.

"Ishi!" She placed her hands on the hips. "How many times do I have to tell you that iryo ninjas who are late putting the lives of his comrades in danger?"

"My mistake Mito-sama." Kon politely bowed his head. "I think it's me who distracted her."

"Iryo ninja couldn't be distracted so easily." Red-haired woman send him dead stare. Kon bowed deeply and when he was leaving I saw him winked at me.

"Back to work young lady."

"I understand-" I muttered under my breath, Mito followed behind me like a hawk.

...

My eyes found the clock on the wall. Almost 7pm, good, I thought, only Yuko-san left now. Mito did not leave my side the whole time, it was frustrating.

"Hey girls!" There was a happy voice of The First Hokage. "Are you done?"

"Almost." Mito gave him cold answer. I was really surprised how someone so bright and happy could live with someone so skeptical and serious how is Mito.

Hashirama-sama just smiled on his wife. "Mito my dear, I would like to take you and Ishi on the dinner. She should meet our son, they will be probably the classmates next year."

"Your son is starting academy next year!?" The question left my mouth so loudly.

Mito frowned. "Calm down young lady, what's with this wild behavior?"

"Ah, leave her alone Mito." Hashirama smiled and placed his big hand on my tiny shoulder. "Finish what you have to do and meet us here, okay?"

I nodded happily and started to run towards room number thirteen.

...

I sat on her bed again and held her pale hand, she was cold. I watched this woman every day for past two years. I could draw her face with my closed eyes. I knew every outline of her features, every small wrinkle, every beauty mark, I knew her face better than mine.

Those damned signs started to burn again, it was worst this time, I almost burned my hand. I jumped from the bed and took off her necklace. "It's beautiful, but I don't want to be labeled as an stealer." I announced and placed the necklace in her hand.

Mistake.

Red stone started to shine immediately and the pale blue light came out. It was probably my chakra which I wanted to use when I defended Akio-kun. The seals on her body started to glow in bright red colour and when the two chakras melted together Yuko was wrapped in the purple lights.

"Oh no, no, no!" I shook my head as I watched with fear her signs, they started to disappear! "No! No! Stop please!" My body started to tremble, Hokage-sama said that this seal is the reason why she's still here! "What should I do! What should I do!"

...

"It's time." Izuna raised his coal-black eyes to the sky. Yuko lay contentedly in his arms. "They calling you." He whispered.

"What do you talking about?" Yuko chuckled slightly, her chocolate eyes were closed. "Who's calling?"

"They." He said and carefully rose from the fresh grass. Yuko stood up, too. The confusion played in her eyes. "You have to go back."

"Back where?" She frowned.

"Back to your life." Izuna answered simply.

Yuko's eyes widened, then she started to laugh. "My silly-" She wrapped her arms around his torso and stood on her tiptoe to kiss his full lips. "I'm not going anywhere."

"You have to." Izuna insisted and pulled away. "Madara failed. The new world isn't possible now."

"That's okay-" Yuko hugged him again, this time her head rested on his chest. She missed his heartbeat, she couldn't hear his heart anymore. "We will wait."

"You don't understand-" Izuna's voice was so damned serious. "Your body is still chained to the earth. I don't know why and I don't know who, but they calling you now. They trying to bring back your soul into your body."

"What!" Yuko gasped. Impossible! There's no way she could be still alive on the earth. "Who?" Her voice dripped with despair. "Who could do such a thing? There's no way I've been saved! Look!" She placed her hands on her chest. "I'm here! I am dead!"

"No. You're not." Izuna shook his head. "You're form isn't complete. Just because your soul is here does not mean that you are dead."

"So is this like a coma?" She asked.

"Yeah, something like this." Izuna nodded.

"But... but I don't care!" The kunoichi shouted uncontrollably. "They can keep my body, I don't need it! I'm staying here!"

"No." Izuna reached his hand and touched her face. "You have to-"

"No!" Tears began to fall. "When we were alive we couldn't be together and now... even when we're dead we can't be together? Why? What is this? The eternal suffering?"

"Hush my little one-" Izuna wiped his nose against hers. "Can't you feel it? Can't you feel who's calling you?"

"What-" Yuko tried to focus on the starnge energy. "Madara?" Her eyes widened.

"No." Izuna chhuckled. "His descendant."

"No way!" Yuko gasped and covered her mouth with her palm. There's no chance that her baby could be alive. She was only in first month, who knows maybe she was in second month, but still, it was just an fetus, it must be dead.

"Go." Izuna interrupted her thoughts. "You have to go. Your child is calling you."

"I don't wanna leave you again!"

"Yuko-" Izuna grabbed her shoulders. "This child is from my blood, too! If you will not protect him, I will never forgive you!"

"Izuna-" Her tears soaked his chest. "I can't do this alone!"

"You're not alone." he gently stroked her red hair. "Your child is there and I'm always here. The time for us will come again."

He pressed his lips against her. His kiss was so comforting, full of tenderness and charity. Yuko held tightly on his shoulders until she felt her form fading...

"Izuna!" She tried to reached her hand, but it was too late.

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you." Was his last words she heard.

...

I was frozen. The whole signs on her body were almost gone as if the red stone on the necklace sucked them away. "Yes! The necklace!" My mind finally awoke. I reached my hand and grabbed the necklace from her hand, but then her hand suddenly gripped mine.

My heart stopped.

the red-haired woman sat so quickly that she almost jumped on the floor. "IZUNA!" Her scream penetrated into ma sensitive ears. I watched her panting on the bed, her hand held my wrist so tightly that I almost felt my bones cracking.

I couldn't breath, my eyes were fixed on her.

Slowly she looked on her hand, trying to find what she's gripping. Her eyes were beautiful, softly brown, like a milk chocolate. But when she found out that she's helding a hand and that small hand held her necklace, she frowned deeply.

Her gaze found mine. Those beautiful eyes turned into cold bloody mirrors and I could see the death in them. The black shape of shuriken started to spin in them. "You stealing, little brat?!" She spat venomously on me, her voice was hoarse.

I did what would do every shinobi if they would be on my place. I mean, every five-years-old shinobi.

I screamed.

I shouted my lungs out, freed my hand from her grip and started to run while my voice was heard thru the whole Konoha's hospital.

"Ishi!" The big hands of Shodai Hokage caught me in the hall. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"She's awake!" I couldn't catch my breath, Hashirama-sama and Mito-sama watched me in confusion. "Uchiha Yuko is awake!"
