Chapter 2

it had taken a few days, but here they were, finally. Yurei, niji, kurama, and mama yugana had finally reached their destination. "woah, it's so big!" niji cheered. Yurei took a deep breath to relax and mama yugana just stood there watching as niji giggled, unintentionally summoning flowers that floated around her like confetti.

" sh-should we go in now?" yurei asks them, his voice shaking. Niji turned serious and looked at him, then smiled softly.

"don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you ever again. Believe it!" she shouted. Yurei laughed, and his shaky hands stilled, but still twitched every now and then. "alright, let's do this." yurei speaks loudly, though not as loud as niji would.

Behind him, kurama chuckled. "she's just like you used to be kit." she smile at the memory, wishing that she had been there earlier to stop naruto's pain. He didn't deserve any of it, and to make it up to him, kurama had decided that she would never leave his side, and that she would never let any one hurt him again.

"who's there?" shouts the two guards that yurei remembered as izumo and kotetstu, they hadnt really changed, besides their hair got a big longer. Yurei pulled his scarf over his mouth, and looked down at the book that rested on his lap. (it was peter pan)

" we were asked to come here to give these medical scrolls to the hokage. Were from the village of the unknown." mama yugana answered, giving them her signature closed eye smile. They relaxed their tense bodies, and smiled at them.

" alright, follow me to the hokage tower." izumo starts to walk away and niji gesters for them to follow. Kurama starts pushing yurei's wheelchair again, and mama yugana and niji follow quickly behind. Once they arrive, niji and mama yugana start to go up the stairs.

"uh y-you guys can g-go up. I'll be there in a second." yurei's soft voice tells them. They do as he say, and walk up the stairs. Yurei grabbed his crutches -that he used for walking- from the back of his wheelchair without too much trouble, but it still hurt his shoulders to do that. He pushes on the arms of his wheelchair to get up into a standing position. He puts the crutches under his armpit, and moves over to the stairs, then places them on the first step. Climbing upstairs with crutches was hard enough, but add on some braces that keep your legs from beding too far, a back brace that keep your back straight, AND cast on your arms that your wrists from bending by using 2 pieces of metal on each side, and its even harder. 3 minutes later, yurei was only 5 steps up.

"maybe i'll just wait until their done talking the hokage down here." he says to himself. Yurei turns back around to go down the stairs, only his legs didn't agree and he stumbled on the step. He closed his eyes, waiting for the stairs to come in contact with his broken body, but it didn't. He felt a pair of hands keeping him up. He opened his eyes to see pale lavender ones 5 inches from his face.

It was neji hyuuga.

"you know, you should be more careful going up stairs like that. Ma'am." his smooth deep voice lectured. Neji had grown taller, and changed his outfit to a white kimono with a dark brown cover on the pants of it. His hair had grown longer, but was held out of his face by his forehead protector.

"thank you sir. But i'm not a-" yurei was in the middle of thanking neji when another familiar face popped up. " YOSH! your flames of youth burn bright for helping a poor old lady like that, my faithful friend!" lee shouted with sparkly eyes and fire surrounding him. Lee still wore green spandex, with orange leg warmers. Lee hadnt changed at all, besides a chunin vest now resided over his green spandex.

Yurei whimpered, feeling his back start to hurt from being in this position for too long. His breathimg machine was getting heavy from the backpack on his back, and he could literally feel his spine cracking in places. "uh... please help me down." yurei tries to get neji's attention, keep in mind that neji is still holding onto yurei. " I agree with lee, neji. Your fire of youth is blinding ab-soooo-luteee-lyy blinding. Its amazing that you have such youth to help a damsel in distress." he hears gai's voice add on, stretching out 'absolutely'. Yurei couldn't handle the pain in his back or them thinking that he was a girl.

It just came out of his mouth. It wasn't like he meant to say it, but he did. He blurted out. "do I look like I have boobs!? im a boy!" yurei blurted out. Neji, lee, and gai stop talking for many moments. It seemed like forever until one of them spoke. Neji cleared his throat after getting over the shock that this very small feminine figure was a male. " I apoligize sir. We did not mean to offend you." neji says kindly. A tic mark appears on yurei's forehead.

" please dont call me sir, im only 18. and my name is yurei." he puffs out his cheeks into a pout while they stand there even more shocked. "do I have wrinkles?" yurei whine, with an embarrassed blush on his face. Neji, lee, and gai then gain a slight blush and think k-k-kawaii!. They shake away their thoughts and help yurei down to his wheelchair, which is what he was doing before. "sorry about the misunderstanding." lee apoligizes. Yurei smiles and shakes his head.

"it's fine. It tends to happen a lot. Though I dont like it happening." yurei shrugs.

"i haven't seen you around here before. Where are you from?" gai asks yurei, furrowing his large eyebrows.

" im from the village of the unknown. I came to help bring some medical supplies in scrolls that mama yugana couldn't carry by herself. Im here with her and 2 others. They are talking to the hokage while I was trying to go up the stairs when I decided that it would be easier for me to stay down here and just wait. Plus, mama yugana is the only one from the village that really knows how to control my breathing machine. Since the last time it went out I almost died because I couldn't breathe. so... yeah" yurei ended pushing his glasses further up the bridge of his nose.

" if you'd like. I could carry you up there to your youthful friends." lee offered "and I could bring up the wheelchair" neji added. Yurei thought this over for a couple seconds before accepting the offer. "but please be careful on my back, and on my legs, and my neck. My bones tend to break easily now." he added as lee carefully picked him up. Lee's eyes widened as he noticed yurei's weight. "you are very small for being 18 years old. You should eat more often." lee says to yurei, his voice laced with concern while being stern at the same time.

" you wouldn't understand." yurei says back, with a harsh tone. He shakes his head, "sorry, it's just not something that I really like to talk about." he smile softly. Soon enough, they reach the hokages office. As yurei is looking down, he sees that there is a small stain on the floor. Thats where he spilled the ramen when she heard her say that he was going to get executed. He felt his stomach drop just at the thought. He looked away from it as lee opened the door.

" yes and there's also another request I have- ah, here he is." mama yugana stops talking to her as yurei is carried in. "thank you." yurei says to lee, sending him a grateful smile. Lee nods and smiles with a 'might gai' pose. " anything for the flames of your feminine youthfulness!" he shouts to the world. His wheelchair was placed down and yurei sat down in it, careful not to break any bones, though he thought he felt something crack in his back. " sorry it took so long, mama yugana I couldn't get up the stairs, so they helped." he nudge his casted arm at team Gai.

"ok, continue with what your request was ms. Yugana." tsunade says. It took everything yurei had not to glare at her, so instead he just looked down at the braces the kept his legs from moving at certain angles. The screws in his legs sometimes rub against them, and go even further into his bones, making it excruciating to stand for more then 5 minutes at a time. It was the same with his arms. There were two pieces of metal in his cast, that kept his wrists from bending. It went up the his forearm, where it also stops his elbow from moving too much. The brace on his back kept his back straight, which made it hurt every time he tried to bend down, because the screws in his spine push against the brace and it hurts. It hurts bad.

"right, as I was saying. I want you to help yurei here. I want him to healthy; as in out of wheelchair and no braces. . Do this and I will do your request." mama yugana says, without hesitating.

tsunade looks over yurei, who still had the scarf placed over his lower face.

"5 months. It will take that long. But I suppose I will do this." tsunade finally accepted.

Yurei was frozen.

He would have to stay in this village. The village that hated him. The village that he left.

The village that broke him

yurei was stuck in the leaf village.
