"the Kyuubi is the last piece to our plans completion" a deep voice said in the darkness of the cave.

Five figures stood on the hand of a statute while the masked man stared at them.

"its soon time to begin our reign on this planet" it continued. Red sharingan eyes looked fogged, lost of a soul as it stared at the man talking.

Pale blue eyes look insanely happy as it holder grinned a feral grin.

"there is an accent scroll needed to awaken Madara's power in order for us to fully utilize the tail beasts' powers" the masked man lied but it was undetected by his followers.

"you mean the scroll of immortality?" a female voice sounded in the darkness as foot steps were heard, coming near to where the six had gathered.

"indeed" the masked man replied.

"what the hell you doing here Taya?" Kisame growled out hating the fact that the newbie just waltz into their important meeting as if she own the place.

"shut it fish face" Taya replied, eye twitching annoyed at the fact that the man-fish refused to acknowledge her strength.

"the holders of the scroll, you have killed them all master" the blue hair lady said confused as how they were going to get such a lost scroll.

"yes but if I remember correctly, Orochimaru had taken the last of their kind as a test subject. With the revival technique of his we could bring her back to life and get her to give us the scroll." The masked man explained.

"that's if she's dead" Kisame said in a low grumble.

"the idiot is right, she isn't dead but isn't an easy thing either" Taya said causing all eyes to land on her.

"how would you know of such?" Itachi asked.

"lets just say we know each other pretty well" she replied in a singing voice agitating the sharingan user.

"Taya how do you know of such?" their leader asked them.

"my previous master was Dante"- this cause their leader to flinch a bit but it was missed by the rest or so it seems.

"he had two others as his students one of them was her" she said with distaste.

"do you have something against him and the others you speak of?" the leader asked after he sense her anger and hatred.

"lets just say little princess is the reason for why I'm the last of my kind" she replied darkly making the leader smirk.

"Itachi and Kisame, you will monitor our last piece, Konan and Pein you will remain as guards and Zetsu scout and alert us if there is any trouble and Taya I believe you can find us this girl of the Tashioni clan." The leader instructed.

"hai" they all replied before disappearing.

The masked man turned and walked towards the back of the cave where a weathering statute which held his trap brother stood.

"aniki the time for you to take over this realm is soon near. We will finish what we started years ago and this time it would be a success." He said to the statute. Lifting his hand, he rests it on the eroded hand of the statute.

"I have eliminated the keys families, there is no chance of you being seal again once release. The Madara blood has been captured in Itachi which will be your new body aniki." He continued as his eye glowed red and the wheel spin.

"soon we will rule both demon and ningrin realm aniki".

He woke up with a kiss on his cheek. Pulling the warmth closer he nuzzles her neck making her giggle.

"Naruto" she gasps as she felt him licking her skin lightly nipping it.

"hmmm?" he hummed biting a bit further causing her a gasp suddenly and winch in pain.

"Naru-" she was cut off when he suddenly claims her lips with his.

"sorry" he whispered, resting his forehead on hers.

"got a little carried away" he explained sighing and sitting up.

"though it left a beautiful mark" he said smirking as her hand shot up and cup the spot then she playfully glare at him.

"Naruto!" she yelled throwing a pillow in his face before leaving the bed to clean up.

The door bell rang when Naruto was in the middle of making breakfast. Honestly he wasn't expecting anyone at this hour. It was the weekend and every one was getting ready for the Christmas celebrations which were just in four days.

he was wondering what he could get Hinata for her Christmas and even pick out a little thing for Hitomi hoping she would wake up for this Christmas.

He smiled at the thought as he opened the door, only to frown at his unexpected guests.

"what do you want?" he asked not caring if he was friendly or not. As far as he sees it, Uchiha Sasuke does not need to be treated with such care.

"Naruto don't talk like that to Sasuke-kun" Sakura scowled him and Naruto only rolled his eyes and before he could slam the door in their faces, Sakura walk passed him and welcome herself in.

"please come in" he mumbled to himself. He wasn't kidding when he said old habits die hard. Sakura became Sasuke's medic and was with him the entire time he got back. She never moved from his side. The hokage had to place a restraining order for her to keep away from the healing Uchiha. But that didn't stop her. After his probation, he began training and she would fix him lunch and what not during his time with Kakashi, never once ask Naruto if he was ok. It was like the genin days where he never existed in her life.

Naruto would visit them sometimes, it kind of felt good to see the old team again, after all they were like family he never had.

He had asked Sakura out in just a friendly outing but Sasuke had to put his two cents in and asked her out trying to make him jealous or angry. Naruto wasn't too sure, but it turned out that Sakura eyes sparkled as she took Sasuke's offer over his.

He only sighed and shrugged it off as it wasn't important.

He knew Sasuke was trying to get back at him that's why he didn't like the raven boy as yet.

"Naruto-kun" he heard Hinata's voice as she emerge from the hall way and enter the kitchen only to her surprise, to see Sakura and Sasuke sitting at the bar like table counter of their kitchen.

"oh sorry, good morning Sasuke-san, Sakura-san, I didn't expect any visitors so early in the morning" she said as she walk into the kitchen and began to fix the lunch boxes.

"me either" Naruto murmured as he made his way to the kitchen.

"what brings ya by?" He asked with no interest at all, seriously he wanted them to leave.

"oh Hinata, I came to asked if you want to come shopping with me." Sakura said with hope in her voice but Hinata only frown.

"sorry but I have hospital duties" she replied

"I have to check up on Hitomi to see if she's awake" Hinata added getting a sad look from Naruto.

"dobe you up for a spar?" Sasuke casually asked only to get a lazy shrugged from Naruto. Though he was hoping to hear more about this Hitomi girl.

"may- be later if I'm up for it. I have to visit her" he said as he took a sip of his orange juice.

"that's what you always tell me! why this girl is more important than me?" the Uchiha demanded.

"she will always be more important" Naruto replied.

"who is she? A girl on the side?" Sasuke asked smirking at the shock face Hinata produced.

"why would you care?" Naruto shot back.

"its too early to argue, Naruto-kun please sit and eat" Hinata said in a stern voice causing Naruto to nod automatically and did what she just said. She placed his plate in front of him and gave Sakura and Sasuke a plate of food which consists of beacon, eggs, sausages and toast.

"Naruto why can't you just spend one day with Sasuke, I'm sure Hitomi won't miss you after all she's been in a coma for more than a year" Sakura said but soon claps her hand over her mouth as she realize what she just said. Seriously she's the one to talk, she never once came to visit the girl, so what the fuck she knows. Naruto thought angrily.

Sasuke's head shot up at the new information that was the same time he return, was she the purple hair girl angel?

Naruto blood boiled with anger. The bitch didn't care, after all the suffering and pain you think she would care for everyone else. Her world just rotates around her and the Uchiha.

"everyone's world don't rotate around the Uchiha like yours do" Naruto shot back getting up from the bar table.

"Naruto you don't have to say things like that, after all Sasuke was here before her" Sakura shot back at him feeling offended at what he said.

"at least she will to risk every thing for me" he said as he pick up his dishes and place them in the sink. He lost his appetite and he just put half of his meal down the sink.

"so you got a fan girl big deal! What happen to your friendship with him, didn't you say he was your best friend?" Sakura asked feeling anger rising.

Geezs the only obsessive fan girl here is you Hinata silently sneered at the pink head.

More like friend shit we have Naruto thought bitterly.

It isn't friendship anymore. It's like we are strangers Sasuke thought sadly, truly regretting what he had done.

God he needed to get away, his anger was rising and he felt like blowing up any second now.

"how about you go have a bath, its already been fix" Hinata said to him as she hugged him from behind, making his anger decrease.

"yeah thanks" he told her softly before heading to the hall way.

"Naruto where you going?" Sakura asked but only to get ignored.

"dobe you didn't answer my question!" Sasuke said a bit taken back with the open affection that the shy girl had displayed.

"to take a bath" he replied and disappeared in the hall way.

Hinata cleared the dishes and began to wash up.

"what's his problem?" Sakura asked in a displease huff.

"he's just concern for the woman who risks her life protecting him that's all Sakura-san" Hinata said putting in her piece in to the conversation.

"but does he have to dis us like that, after all we were here first" Sakura said with distaste.

"it's the only thing one could do to show their gratitude" Hinata replied as she dried her hands in the kitchen towel. She was hoping that Sakura would catch on to what she was trying to say, but she rolled her eyes as Sakura selfishly sulked.

"who is she?" Sasuke asked looking as if he wasn't that interested.

"she was on the team that brought you back, Tashioni Hitomi Kyo" Hinata replied with a smile as the mild shock hit the Uchiha. His body tense with dread. Although he didn't show it, the Uchiha was stricken with shock as images from their painful battle resurface but yet he couldn't remember who this girl was or what she looked like.

"are you sure she isn't gonna get between you and Naruto?" Sakura asked trying to change the subject when she saw Sasuke reaction. But she shrugged it off as her mind was playing tricks on her.

"nope!" Hinata replied happily as she wiped down the bar counter and then wrapped the lunch boxes.

"how can you be so sure?" Sakura asked causing her to stop in mid wipe.

"I mean he is so fixated on her being alive" she added.

"he blames himself for what happened after all he was a bit soft and careless when it comes to these types of situations" Hinata replied causing Sasuke turmoil to increase as he felt more guilt as the conversation let on.

"but if she ever wakes what will happened then? Eh? If she starts to have feelings for Naruto?" Sakura asked. Hinata wasn't sure what Sakura as trying but she had a point.

"I guess we'll see, don't we?" Hinata replied with a false smile. She had her morning ruined by the pink headed bitch.

"Sasuke-kun lets go" Sakura said getting up from her seat.

"thanks for breakfast Hinata" she added but Sasuke didn't move.

"no, I want to spar with the dobe today" he said and ignore her angry puffs as she storm her way out of the apartment.

Silence filled the room after Sakura left and Hinata became a bit uneasy with such bored silence. She decided it was best to leave him to himself and she made her way to the hall way and disappeared.

He was feeling a bit uneasy with these unanswered questions that swarm his head. He was about to call out for Hinata to answer so question but she had already gone and that's when Naruto came back into the room.

Naruto walk out dress in a white with orange spirals shorts and black t- shirt. Minutes later Hinata stood next to him in her white nurse uniform and headed for the door.

"look, we're leaving now so what do you want Uchiha?" Naruto asked annoyed with his presence.

"I guess I have to act like you to get a spar out of you" he said with a smirk only met with a hard blue eyes that still gave him small chills and a frown on his face.

"seriously I got no time for ya games, but if you insist, later after lunch" Naruto stated annoyed and the Uchiha shrugged and walk out the door.

"stupid bastard" Naruto mumbled as Hinata place her hand on his and they both left their apartment.

Tsaunde was there when they reached her room in the hospital. The monitors beeped and there were seals around the bed.

"no change as yet Naruto" the blonde women said with a sigh.

"just increasing muscle movement nothing more" she added and Naruto nodded. Sasuke starred at the women hooked up to the machines and seals to keep her alive and his body began to pain in guilt.

I did this to her. His mind supplied but it did nothing to comfort him.

Naruto walked up to her bed and sat on the chair that was next to it. He took her pale hand into his.

"hey, it's me again" he said softly to her and his voice began to tremble when he spoke again.

"it's almost Christmas, please come back to us, Hitomi." He said almost in tears.

"we'll be waiting".

Sasuke notice the room was almost covered in gifts of different wrappings, flowers of different colors, some new some old.

"she's gonna be with us soon" he heard Hinata said.

"don't give up hope" she added and started picking off the dead leaves and wither flowers.

"I won't" Naruto replied and kissed Hitomi's pale hand.

A few minutes later they left the room with Tsaunde alone.

Tsaunde went over her clipboard before leaving the room to get some more IV bag.

Upon returning to the room, Tsaunde stop in mid step in shock and the IV bag drop from her hands.

Tsaunde watched as her patient's body began to change as strange markings began to glow from her hospital gown.

"interesting" she muttered. Once the glow stopped, the once purple hair girl was a rose pink head with a strange diamond on her forehead. Her muscle movements began to increase and the beeping of the monitors went crazy. Heart rate and breathing rate increased. Tsaunde was about to enter the room when a white light evolve the room which the patient was in and Tsaunde put her hands up to her face to shield the light room her eyes.

Once it died down, she stepped into the room, only to see an awaken angel like creature staring at her. She was as a new born, the cuts, bruises, burns and deep scars disappeared leaving smooth skin.

"Hitomi?" she choked out and the rose pink hair girl look at her. Eyes were lighter purple and seem lost.

"hai?" she replied angelic.

"…."

"…."

Silence filled the room and Tsaunde was lost for words.

Her honey brown eyes studied the young girl in front of her who sat on the bed with her legs swinging at the edge of the bed.

"do you know who I am?" Tsaunde asked looking at the clip board which she held tightly in her hand.

Light purple eyes studied her for a moment when a sigh escape her plump lips.

"by your hair and eye color, breasts size and chakra output, I'll say you're the third Sannin, the slug nin, Tsaunde" Hitomi answered.

Taking back at the description and confused by what she said about her chakra, Tsaunde scribble something on the clip board.

"do you remember anything? Anything that happened on the mission?" Tsaunde asked and the girl looked at her confused.

"what mission?" she asked as Tsaunde wrote on the clip board.

"why am I here anyway?" Hitomi asked as she got up from the bed and took a few steps before Tsaunde stopped her.

"you shouldn't be doing that you just woke up from a coma." Tsaunde said walking towards the girl and help her only to be push back by an unseen force.

Hitomi looked at her surprised then frowned.

"how long was I out?" she asked looking at a well shock stricken hokage.

"two years" she replied slowly not too sure if it would be taken well by the girl.

"I see" she replied with a frown and held her hand out and a little blue flame was form in her palm which turned red.

"I guest I have a lot of unused flame." She said and fists her hand making the flame disappear.

Red eyes narrowed at his opponent. The cold breeze blew, sending snow flakes around them.

"you really need to knock off that look, teme!" Naruto huff and a cloud of cold air could be seen with every breath he took.

"hm" was his reply before the dark hair boy rush forward for an attack.

"getting slow teme" Naruto taunt while dodging the punches the Uchiha was aiming at him.

"who is she?" Sasuke asked once he was a good distance from Naruto.

"huh?" Naruto was confused at what the Uchiha was so interested in that he was distracted.

"don't make me repeat myself"

"…" still he did not get it.

Sasuke sighed and lean against the tree, Naruto eyes narrowed at that.

"what's wrong with you?" the blond asked a bit irate at the sudden pause in the spar.

"you were the one begging for this and now you can't even last ten minutes?" he continued as his face became redder.

"that girl…" the Uchiha began but trail off not too sure what to say.

Naruto chuckled at him making the Uchiha glare up at him.

"its called guilt Uchiha" he said before turning away from him.

"Naruto!!" he heard his name being shouted. He turned to the source to see Hinata running towards them.

"what's the matter Hina?" he asked as he took her in his arms, getting warmth.

Sasuke 'hm' at the gesture causing Hinata to look his way.

"hi" she said to him, her cheeks all red because of the cold. She looked adorable.

"Naruto, I have some great news!" she said excitedly.

"what is it?" Naruto asked looking into her pearl exciting eyes.

"she's awake!" she replied making Naruto stiffen in shock.

"what?" he choked not believing his ears.

Hinata smile grew into a large grin.

"she's awake!" she squealed excitedly and grabbed his hands and started pulling him.

"come on, lets go" she continued and pulled the stunned blond all the way to the hospital.

Uchiha Sasuke had nothing better to do since he had lost concentration and his mind was out the window, he followed them.

Upon reaching the dark blue door, Tsaunde emerge from the hall.

"try to make it quick" she said to the group and Naruto looked at her with confusion and worry.

"she's been itchy to get out like you Naruto when you were in the hospital." She answered Naruto's unasked question.

"it seems they have a lot in common" Hinata said as she opens the door.

Hitomi fingers twitched as she lay across the bed with her head over the side. She could feel the blood rushing to her head and wish it could make her dizzy and knock her out quicker. The sedative the hokage gave her didn't do squat to put her to sleep. But then being asleep for so long, her mind didn't want to return to the darkness of unconsciousness yet.

Her hospital gown rolled forward and covers her face, exposing her almost bare body if you count the strawberries and cherries underwear she had on. but in all sense of the matter, she was bored and she could feel her powers peeking for release.

A cold wind swept over her body causing her to shiver and gasps were heard when foot steps file into the room.

Naruto and Sasuke stared at the up siding down body on the bed. Her skin was pale due to lack of sunlight but Sasuke's eyes were fixated on the panties and the size of those breasts.

Her nipples were hard cause of the sudden cold air, the skin was flawless but she had some strange markings on her body. There was a tattoo of a red dragon around her belly, swirl red lines around her breasts and hips. Her anklets showed the same swirls and her wrists as well.

Before her body collided with the tiled floor, the markings disappeared leaving pale flawless skin.

Hitomi hit the floor with a thud.

"ow ow" she whined as she sat up while rubbing her head.

"Hitomi?" Naruto choked after his shock. The girl in front of him was different. The only thing they had in common is the same color eyes.

"hai?" she replied confused as she tried to get back up on the bed but Hinata was there giving her a hand and she look at it strangely.

"this got to be a mistake" Naruto began doubting.

"the Hitomi I knew had purple hair girl and dark purple eyes!" he pause and point at Hitomi who was being looked at by Hinata.

"not rose pink hair and lighter purple eyes!" he said in on huff.

"dobe" Sasuke muttered earning a hard glare from the blond.

"chakra dye" Hitomi mumble getting a confuse look from said blond.

Sighing she sat up on the bed and began her explanation.

"chakra dye." She repeated.

"Hitomi, it's nice to see you awake, we've been waiting a long time" Hinata said with a smile.

"two years, I know" Hitomi grumble and looked at the mound of gifts that was in the corner of the room.

"first off, I'll like to know...-" she paused and got up from the bed and headed towards the gifts.

"who are you people?" she asked as she picked up a small wrapped box then turn and looked at them.

Naruto watched as if he was dreaming, he couldn't seem to get pass the fact that she was awake.

"Hyuuga Hinata" Hinata said to her and Hitomi eyes passed over her to the next person.

"Uchiha Sasuke" Sasuke said with a half glare only to make her step back at the sound of his voice. She was a bit intimidated by him. the Uchiha raise and eye brow at that action and Hinata followed too.

"what's the matter? Afraid?" Sasuke began to taunt her.

She looked away from him and looked out the window before answering.

"I don't like snakes" she said only making him glare at her harder.

Her eyes landed on blue as they stare at each other for what seems like a life time.

"Naruto…" she said softly but Sasuke caught the deep emotion in her voice.

"Hitomi" Naruto replied.

"what happen in that mission Naruto?" she questioned him as two years was blank to her.

"you remember me" he sighed and sat on the chair.

"how can I forget, you remind me of an uncle I never met" she replied with a sad smile.

"I was told great things about him and what he had done for this village." She explained.

"I see" Naruto said and began the tale of what happened after she was knocked out.

Hinata had returned to work when he had finished the story and Hitomi looked lost.

"we tried our best and the mission was a success." He said snapping her out of her thoughts.

"he used me against you and you still able to be the same room as him!" she shouted and looked teary eye at Naruto and the Uchiha looked at her as if it was the first time seeing her. Her emotions were getting the better of her and she couldn't help but feel weak after what she was told.

"how can anyone do that? How can you do that?" she looked at Sasuke making him feel unnerved with her heated gaze.

"go to that thing! He destroyed many lives, how can you leave your friends for him" she asked the Uchiha.

"it's none of your business" he said coldly, sharingan eyes blazing with anger and annoyance, making the girl let out a squeak in fear.

"leave her teme!" Naruto said in a monotone making the Uchiha look away.

"he is a stupid asshole with a stick so far up his ass that he couldn't think any better" Naruto explain getting a confused look from Hitomi.

"he's a bastard" he said simply getting a 'oh' from her.

She yawn suddenly feeling drained.

"I think you should get some sleep" Naruto said with a smile.

"I ... but I don't want to" she whined.

"I know" Naruto hushed her.

"I'll be there when you get up" he said tucking her in.

"really?" she asked rubbing her eyes as another yawn escape her lips.

"yeah" he chuckle as the put the blanket up to her neck and her necklace began to glow.

"wha..." he didn't finish his sentence when the globe necklace began to crack in half and the whole room was envelope in light.

Sasuke was getting annoyed by the sentimental scene that was being display, yet he felt a bit jealous. It reminded him about his brother when they were younger. But nothing prepared him from the sudden light that covered the whole room. There was this cracking sound before the light became brighter then it died down.

Sasuke opened his eyes to see Naruto develop in a blue light of chakra. It out line his body but most of the glow was coming from his right arm. Looking closely and carefully the Uchiha notice that the blue light was more concentrated and began to take shape. It swirl around the arm until it reach the junction of the shoulder and neck with it stop and began to pulse. The pulsing died down along with the blue light leaving a mark of a blue dragon tail on the expose flesh of the blond's arm.

Naruto on the other hand didn't know what to think. His mind was between fear and happiness when the light covered him. The Kyuubi began to laugh when the whole ordeal began. A laughing fox never meant anything good. Then the fox stop laughing and he began to feel more powerful. It felt like a rush of wind with unseen power began to go through him and his right arm began to feel as though it was zap with an ice jutsu which was melted by wind.

When the glow died down Naruto looked at this right arm and he felt his eyes tingle a bit before it return to normal. His right arm had a blue dragon tattoo. Surprise and confused by what had happened he turned to who started it all. But before he could utter a word, Hitomi was out like a light, sleeping. Her red dragon glowed which cause his to glow and tingle. He watched the weird pulses of their dragon before he felt a light weight around his neck. His hand slowly makes its way up and held on to the pendant of the hokage's necklace but instead he held two pendants. One was the pendant of the unfortunate bad luck gem and the other was a half circle with a blue dragon crest on the inside of the crystal.

"wow" he utter as his blue eyes reflected the pendant. His eyes turn to Hitomi's sleeping face then her neck to find the same half circle pendant but this time she had red dragon crest inside the crystal.

"aniki" he heard her sigh in her sleep.

Sasuke watch the exchange and felt the power that was awakened in the dobe. He felt jealously because at this rate he would never strong enough to kill his brother.

Naruto was confused yet he felt that it was right at the same time. Is she apart of his father or mother clan or something?

He needed time to think about what that happened.

Tsaunde came into the room, she had felt the chakra and had a feeling it had to do with Hitomi, but when she felt Naruto chakra in the mix she had to see what it was.

But she wasn't expecting the sight on his arm. She thought she would never see it again after the fourth hokage.

She gulps before she spoke.

"Naruto, we need to talk" she said and her voice tremble and unsure.

"we sure do" he replied in a calm voice and turn to look at her. She gasps at the sight of his eyes. They were cold blue with slits.

His voice was too calm, Sasuke noted and the slit eyes were just the beginning of the anger that was about to be exploded.

"not now, when Jiraiya comes" Tsaunde said and Naruto sighed and looked away.

"I think I know what's going on" he continued and Tsaunde frown and Sasuke's eye brow went up in question.

But he never continued, he just stroke Hitomi's hair lovingly.

"you do?" the hokage asked surprised at his response.

"I only have a theory." She supplied getting a confuse look from Sasuke.

"when the pervy Sage comes, he has a lot of talking to do or blood will be spilled." Naruto said darkly while his fingers run through her hair.

"you finally got her to sleep." The hokage stated trying to change the subject.

"yeah, I guess we are a like" Naruto said as he made himself comfortable. He promised her he would be here when she wakes.

Three cloak figures rush through the forest near konoha.

"I don't see why you must tag along Taya" Kisame complained as he jumps from tree to tree.

"she's in this direction; her chakra just went up the roof. If we're lucky she just finished a fight and things will go easy" Taya explained with a sigh.

"afraid of her?" Kisame taunt and Taya frown.

She suddenly stops making the other two stop as well.

"for me? no, but for you? Yes" she said then turned to the sharingan user.

"Itachi in his condition she could reverse it" Taya added before taking off again. Itachi stood still and his eyes were blank. He was having an inner turmoil, Kisame noted and looked worried.

The Uchiha turned to him with a cold hard face.

"let's go Kisame" he said coldly making Kisame sigh in relief.

Tsaunde had recommended that Naruto take her to his apartment which would be guarded by an ANBU if anything happened. The hospital staff was getting restless and these ungrateful assholes were blaming it on Naruto thus Naruto having to go home with an extra person.

Hinata didn't mind at all as she along with Naruto clones took the gifts that were in Hitomi's room back to the apartment, while the real Naruto carried Hitomi who was still sleeping covered in his coat. Once the reach the apartment, he put he in he guest room and tuck her back to bed then went and help Hinata with the load, that's when he felt a familiar presence.

Turning to the balcony window he smiles at the figure in the cold.

"Gaara!" he greeted excitedly as he open the slide door to allow him in. giving the Suna Kage a hug which cause Gaara to stiffen a bit before relaxing and hug back.

"it's good to see you" the blond said as he let go the red head who gave a small smile and nod.

"oh Kami- sama your freezing let me get you some warm clothes and some tea." Naruto said and went into the all way and the red head made his way to the living room where he sat on the couch.

Hinata came in with a hand full of gifts and almost fell over when she felt arms balancing her.

"here let me help" Gaara said making the young Hyuuga gasps in surprise.

"Gaara-sama! When did you get here?" she asked as he took some of the gifts.

"few minutes" he answered and Naruto came back with a set of clothes that he had left last time he was staying at Naruto's.

Gaara likes spending his holidays with Naruto which seems to make his siblings a bit jealous. It is always amusing to see them fuss over him. but for the few last years he was only allowed to come during summer and winter as Tamari said. Troublesome sister.

It was after seven in the evening and Sakura had decided to drag the Uchiha over to Naruto and Hinata's for eggnog spending time with each other after all Christmas is for sharing.

They sat there on the couch with tea and eggnog on the coffee table. Gaara sat in the single chair that was to the right of Naruto who sat in the love seat with Hinata and Sasuke and Sakura sat on the wide couch.

The Uchiha glared at the red head, who paid him no mind while the tension builds up.

"so how's the relationship going?" Hinata asked trying to start a conversation and knowing full well Sakura would lie about it.

More like relation shit the three males thought. Gaara only roll his eyes at such an oblivious question. Everyone who's anyone knew the Uchiha held nothing for her, he only want her for the sex as a source to relief tension if it was pleasing and to keep his fan club away from him.

"good" she replied, lying. They were never good to begin with. After they made 'love' Sasuke washed his skin of her and then left the house with out a word. He never stayed for the after glow of sex which bonding takes place. Even now he still does it as if washing himself of her like she was some cheap slut. He never show outwards affections to her like couples do and foreplay never last enough before he dives right in to fulfill his own pleasure. Yet even with these things she had notice it never stop her from giving him her body every time he wants a quick fuck. In her mind she feels that he would come around.

"dobe, this Hitomi girl, how you know her?" Sasuke asked totally not interested in the ladies conversation. As far as he sees it, the relationship between him and Sakura was never really good from the beginning.

"why the sudden interest?" Naruto asked raising an eye brow.

"it seems she takes up more of your time than any of us. She would be a good sparing substitute" Sasuke replied with a shrug.

"yes I would like to know as well Uzumaki-san" Gaara added with interest.

"would you stop calling me that!" he fumed.

"it's Naruto! NA- RU-TO!" he broke it down for Gaara who smirk.

"as you say Naru-chan" Gaara said teasingly causing said blond to go red and pouted.

"Hina-hime, tell big bad panda guy to behave" he said nuzzling Hinata's neck in a childish voice making Gaara twitch at the name.

She giggled and swats Naruto away.

"leave Naru- koi alone, Gaara-kun" she said and Gaara only sigh.

"anyway" Naruto drawl out returning to the conversation.

"lets see, she's about 21 now, specialty is tracking, gathering and distributing information, a wiz at the technologies, fighting style is the Dragon dance, Fire type though she can manipulate other elements, don't know much about her hobbies. In my opinion, I think she rank an upper level Jounin." Naruto said thoughtfully.

"oh and don't forget that I am the last of the Dragon Guardians, Dragon fire by birth and the descendant of Priestess Aire." An angelic voice added into their conversation sounded irritated. Her voice made Sasuke stop in mid sip of his tea and tense.

"anything else you would like to know?" she asked as she yawned. She didn't notice the other half of her crystal dragon was around Naruto's neck.

"it's not nice talking behind one's back and if you wanted to know you could've just asked me" she added looking over her audience.

Everyone stared at her and Sasuke's and Gaara's eyes hungrily devour her form. She stood there in one of Hinata's short blue pants with black flowers and black vest that one of the straps hang off her shoulder's showing a lot of cleavage and creamy skin. she wasn't wearing any bra and her nipples poke out under the light vest.

"Hitomi-san, you're awake" Hinata said getting up to fix a cup of tea and something for the rose pink hair girl to eat. Hitomi eye her strangely then her eyes fill with sudden recognition.

"yeah" she replied.

"so Hitomi how it feels to be walking among the living?" Sakura causally asked sipping her tea and ignoring the glares she got from Naruto and Hinata. She saw that look in Sasuke's eyes when she had made her presence known. That predator's look, look of interest, the look of gaining something and it made the hair of on her skin rise with a shiver of envy.

Hitomi frown at the question, this girl wasn't really friendly now was she?

"can't really say" she replied and her eyes lock with faded cold green eyes that sent shivers down her spine. Then she looked away feeling as if the redhead was gazing through her with such a malicious gaze.

Her purple eyes which light up to violet caught Sasuke's heated gaze which suddenly made her heart pulse loudly in her ears and her fangs inch out between her upper lips slowly. Still lock in the gaze the pulsing continued as she tried hard to force the feeling away and hoping that her fangs would stop growing and no one notice. her right hand shot up to the left side of her chest as she held it subconsciously, gripping the material over the section of her heart as the feeling of pain, hope and longing pool out into her body at the same time.

Why was he affecting her like this? She felt her face heat up.

Why her body was reacting like that? Why did she felt strange all of a sudden?

But as soon as it came, it left when his eyes left hers and he took a sip of his tea, ignoring her presence.

"here you go!" Hinata said placing a plate with rice balls, a bowl of soup, a bowl of salad and a plate with roast pork slices, all with a glass of grape juice and a cup of tea.

"thanks" she said and sat down to eat.

"thanks for the meal" with that she took her chopsticks and began to eat.

"so Hitomi-chan, tell us about yourself" Sakura said with fake interest looking at the girl who stop in the middle of chewing.

"after all that's Naruto-baka's point of view, we wanna hear it from your mouth" she added with a smirk when the girl had an annoyed look on her face.

"why so interested?" Hitomi replied with distaste half glaring at the pink hair woman who sipped her tea and ignore the annoyed aura coming from the rose pink hair girl.

"we gonna be partners in the hospital as doctors so it's only fair to know each other" Sakura reasoned and Hinata sent her a dangerous glare that made the blond shiver with the outcome of an angry Hinata.

"then you should start first it's only polite" Hitomi shot back and resume eating her food, moaning at its delicious taste. The Uchiha shivered inside as his body began to respond to such a sensual moan. Although on the outside he look calm and indifferent, he was shaking like a leaf on the inside with shivers that sent pleasures through out his whole body. It was getting hot in here. He lick his lips and stare at her with a half glare watching as she took the chopsticks from the plate with food and bring it up to her supple lips and opening her mouth, making those luscious lips parted and slip that piece of food into her mouth and another moan came out, indicating the appreciation of the food she was eating.

Sakura saw the look in his black eyes as he looked at her with a half meaningful glare. She saw his pink tongue darted out and lick his lips as though he saw something deliciously sweet. Her eyes narrowed as she followed his eyes to see the rose pink hair girl oblivious of his eyes and eating her food with out a care in the world.

His breathe hitch when her tongue darted out to lick the chopsticks before sucking on them and his mind imagine it was his cock she was doing that to. He felt the blood rush down south and his face began to heat up giving his cheeks a little pink to the pale skin.

Sakura felt anger building up in her which fueled her jealousy. Sasuke was looking at Hitomi way differently than when he looks at her. He held lust and something more in those black orbs as he look at the rose pink hair girl but when he look at her it was always cold and indifferent and sometimes a bit a lust but that was on rare occasions.

She calmed herself and turn fully towards Hitomi.

"thank you so much for the meal, it was fantastic!" Hitomi praise Hinata for the meal she just finished. Hinata began to take the plates from Hitomi only to have the girl refusing to give her the empty plates.

"please let me wash what I have used" Hitomi said to the heiress who was surprise by the sudden request.

"o-oh ok" Hinata replied and Hitomi got up and place all her dishes in the sink and began to wash them herself while humming to a tune.

Sakura sent a glare over to the happy rose pink hair girl. Gaara watch with amusement as the pink hair woman got easily riled up because of such an innocent act of appreciation. But then again it had to do with the way the Uchiha was eyeing the rose pink hair girl as if she was some piece of candy. He smirk, got up with his dishes he had used for tea and walk over to the rose pink hair girl at the sink and place his dishes in and brush against her making her gasps.

She glanced up at the red head and blush at the closeness his face was to hers.

"sorry" she said softly and looks down into the sink filled with soap water. Gaara only smirk and pass his hands over hers and she looked at him with surprise.

"let me help" he said and she nodded shift to the left so he would have more room as she wash he would rinse.

Naruto watched the whole exchange with a small smile. It seems that Gaara is trying to be friendlier. He had truly changed from since they were younger. He was glad to have him as a friend well they were more like brothers now. His gaze returned to the rest of the guests in his apartment.

He was surprise to say the least when sharingan eyes glared dangerously at Gaara's head. Hatred poured into those blood colored eyes as if trying to bore holes in the sandman hoping he would drop dead. The look of possessiveness came into those orbs for a minute before leaving though jealousy was there the whole time before the Uchiha look away from the Kazekage.

Naruto smirked at the new revelations.

So the Uchiha has fallen blindly in love with the rose pink hair girl Tenshi he thought with an amusing smirk.

Madara will always crave for his Maiden. He heard Kyuubi's voice only to frown in confusion.

I will be free once again the fox began to chuckle before its voice receded back into his mind leaving his container confused.

Sighing he wrapped his arms around Hinata and pulled her into a hug and inhale her sent to calm him. Hinata hugged him back as her hand ran up and down his back soothingly as if he was a big baby with gas.

Sakura glared at him, how she wished Sasuke would treat her like that. She felt jealousy rising in her to a new level. It was a price to pay for what she had done. If she knew Naruto would be so loving and caring towards his girlfriend and the fact that he had grown up to be an irresistible hunk, she would have said yes to all the times he begged to go out with her.

"Hitomi-chan" Sakura called out to get her attention as said girl took up the kitchen towel and dried her hands then turning around, facing Sakura and leaning on the counter.

"hmm?" her eyes blink innocently at Sakura then she passed the towel to Gaara who took it and wiped his hands.

"come lets have a girls chat to know each other better" she said with a sickly smile and Sasuke narrowed his eyes at his 'girlfriend'. What the hell is she up to?

Having nothing better to do or to go, Hitomi nodded and walk towards the living room which was attach to the kitchen. Her walk had a little bounce in her step as her hips swayed as though she was modeling a new line of clothing. Sasuke was mesmerized by the way her hips moved and the bouncing of her breasts. She wasn't even trying to impress anyone and she was doing a damn fine job of making his body temperature turn up a notch.

She sat on the love seat, legs cross and hands on her lap. Naruto and Hinata sat next to Sasuke, forcing Sasuke to sit closer to Sakura much to his displeasure but more to his delight, he was sitting right across from her, directly in front of her in a lock gaze. Her eyes were so mysterious having him craving to unlock that mystery.

The short pants had ridden up giving him a view of her creamy skin and he inwardly groan wanting to touch it.

The Uchiha felt the red head gaze on him and look towards him displeasingly only to be smirk at. The red head sent a victory smirk over to the Uchiha and his eyes dance with amusement when the Uchiha's sharingan came out.

"what shall we talk about?" Hitomi asked as her eyes glance over to the red head then the raven who glared dangerously at each other. Feeling uncomfortable with the fact that they might start fighting soon, she shifted uncomfortably.

"they usually do that when both of them find the same thing interesting, so don't worry" she heard Naruto told her with a smile making her give him a small one back before returning her gaze to Sakura who held anger in hers.

"what are your likes and dislikes?" Sakura asked trying to sound friendly but it came out too friendly and Hitomi shot her a suspicious look.

"why you should go first" Hitomi suggested.

"its only polite" she added with a happy smile eyes close and fangs poking out from her lips.

Sakura gritted her teeth as Hinata giggle next to her and Naruto had his all knowing smile. While Sasuke and Gaara gave a small smirk.

"I like a lot of things" Sakura began.

"what I dislike is the fact that some people think that they are better than others when they are truly ugly behind their masks" she finished trying to get her message out and everyone caught it except for the one it was meant for.

"is that so?" Hitomi said as her eyes brows arch in a bit of confusion for the sudden anger she felt in the pink hairs reply.

"what about you?" Sakura asked sweetly.

"huh me?" Hitomi looked a bit surprise as if she wasn't listening at all.

"hmm let see" she began to tap her chin in a cute fashion and her brows knit together in concentration.

"I like many things and my dislikes are many things, too numerous to mention" she answered making everyone sweat drop and Naruto broke out into a fit of laughter.

"Kami-sama, you remind me of Kakashi-sensei" he said after calming down from his laughter.

"but seriously you already told them what I like earlier so the question was rhetorical and I was just entertaining it" Hitomi said with a huge grin making the pink hair boiled with anger.

"you are a dangerous person" Gaara commented and she look towards him and gave him a smirk, a sexy one too.

"I am ain't I?" she said smirking at him when he rolled his eyes at her.

"what are your goals for the future?" Sasuke asked in his deep voice sending shivers down her spine.

"I won't answer unless you tell me yours first" she was playing with him and if she likes to play games then who is he too deny her of her fun.

"my goals are to kill my brother and restore my clan to it former glory" he said darkly and Naruto rolled his eyes at him.

Such an emo he thought

Gaara just mumbled something about him being a drama queen which earns him a glared from the Uchiha.

"why would you want to kill your own blood?" she asked oblivious at the fact of what really happen.

"why are you taking his side" Sasuke hissed angrily making the girl tense up with a bit of fear.

"I-I-I'm not taking anyone's side" she stuttered her voice held fear in it as she gaze into those spinning sharingan eyes that held so much hatred.

"he killed my whole clan" Sasuke said in a calm voice, eyes not looking at her.

"it may be possible for some one to kill people they are not close to but for mother, father and sibling it would be hard for them to do it, it would haunt them and send them into insanity" she said trying to find loop holes in his explanation as to why he wanted to kill his brother.

"well the bastard did it to test his strength against people who were powerful. So he could become more powerful" Sasuke said glaring at her.

"even so, it still doesn't make sense" she started out in a thoughtful mode and Naruto listen intensively hoping that someone else would notice.

"then that would mean you are the Uchiha Sasuke who seeks revenge on your older brother Uchiha Itachi. Same brother who was said to kill his whole clan within the hours under the moon light" She began then she blow up into laughter making the Uchiha angry.

"what so fucking funny?" the Uchiha demanded letting out his rage in his voice.

"your sharingan that makes this whole story a bit amusing" she replied.

"the sharingan copies jutsus, movements and can predict the others next attack right?" she paused and the Uchiha glared.

"so your clan, the people with the sharingan would make a difficult fight for your brother alone, even if he get the most powerful one of the sharingans." She looked at him and shiver at the amount of hatred directed to her at the moment.

"you have to take your body strength and chakra into consideration as well, and as a doctor people who have the most chakra depletion are the ones with bloodline that uses chakra to activate it and for it to remain activated. Your chakra reserves have to be spilt into several parts shorting the amount of time before you body began to ache for rest. The activated bloodline would drain chakra much faster than if there was no activation or bloodline." She paused to let it sink in before she could continue.

"chakra main function is to keep the body alive, the cells mainly. The left over is what we used to form our attacks and what not. Once the reserve which is the felt over chakra from the strength you have gained is depleted, cells' function decrease until that reserve is refill. Most of the time people tap into their cells chakra with out even knowing resulting in death or destruction of their inner coils with is what is wrapped around the organs and cells in your body." She finished her biological explanation.

"I still don't get what your saying Hitomi-chan" Sakura said looking confused. She knew all about that during her course to learn medical jutsus those were the main things drill into their heads.

"what she is saying is that with that knowledge of the fact of how chakra is used in a body. Picturing you self mastering a new stage in your bloodline and you only show sign of exhaustion but truly you body is trying to adapt. Also dealing with the fact that you have to do missions with a body that is trying to adapt to the new stage is more than enough to knock you out for days. But from how the story goes Itachi went on with his normal life with out any signs of chakra exhaustion or restlessness. During the fight there is a great possibly that his body will quit on him considering that he was dealing with people with the same kind of bloodline." Hinata explained.

"yeah Hinata-sama is right, the period was too short for him not to have difficulties during the fight and even with that fact, no one could kill the woman that brought them into this world, because mother and their babies have a strong bond that no matter how much you hate her you will never could kill her" Hitomi finished her explanation. Gaara glared at her a bit making the information sink in. if he had known his mother would he have killed her? The thought ran through his mind making him frown.

"though if something was controlling the mind then it would be a different story" she murmured to herself only.

"or plain insane" Naruto supplied in a low muttered but the Uchiha heard him and it only fuel his anger.

"it still doesn't change anything, he did it and I will kill him" Sasuke growled out totally pissed at her.

"then when you kill him it would make you the same as him" she said and that earned her a slam across the wall.

Sasuke was furious, no matter how hot she looked she pissed him off. He hated his brother and when they talk about him, it only made the hatred increase.

They were all taking his goddamn side!

His hand held her throat as she wheezed for air. Blood tickle down her lips and her eyes wide with surprise.

"Sasuke let her got" she heard Naruto angry voice barely as she began to sink in and out of consciousness . brotherly instinct of worry came over Naruto as his anger grew. He didn't like to see her hurt and it make everything in him go feral to protect her .

"she's just trying to see the logic in the story "he heard Hinata's voice.

"Sasuke- kun stop!" Sakura half plead. Truly she was enjoying it to a degree. Maybe she wouldn't have to worry about Sasuke liking her anymore.

"let her go or I'll break your limbs Uchiha" Gaara's cold voice came as cold as ice, making Sakura shiver, as the sand made its way to the Uchiha.

He could sense Naruto's anger which was enough to make anyone piss in their pants. It was a kind of strange since he only get upset when friends are hurt but this was different. It was like him when one of his siblings get hurt; he wants to do everything in his power to bring deadly pain to those who have pained his blood. What is she to Naruto?

His eyes spin dangerously as he looked into her frighten eyes, a cruel look was planted on his face as his hatred was directed to her.

He let her go slowly when he felt her body went limp and her body slump to the floor with a soft 'thud' indicating that she had passed out because of the pressure and the lack of oxygen.

He step back from her body and only got to a few inches before a fist came flying into his face. Naruto had punched him and he had punched him hard. Really hard.

"what the fuck is your problem?" Naruto fumed at the Uchiha as Hinata tend to Hitomi. His eyes bled between red and cold blue. The slits of his pupils change size as Naruto try to contain his anger.

"not everyone will believe that sap ass of story of the past Sasuke! There's a lot of fucking holes in it! Open ya eyes you bastard" Naruto shouted.

"Naruto don't hit Sasuke-kun" Sakura shouted angrily and was about to hit Naruto on the head when he caught her wrist in a tight hold making her gasps.

"as I said before, 'not everyone's world revolves around the Uchiha'" Naruto said angrily and went a scoop up Hitomi who groan in his arms and took her to her room. Hinata followed him.

"nice going Uchiha" Gaara commented.

"she does have a point though" He added before leaving the room.

Sasuke stared at his hands as Hitomi's words rang into his head.

then when you kill him it would make you the same as him

"Sasuke-kun" Sakura called out to him but he couldn't hear her.

kill him it would make you the same as him

the images of his brother killing his clan came into his mind

his anger grew tenfold; he glared at that drop of blood on the floor.

make you the same as him

"Sasuke"

He growled and walk away from Sakura, took his jacket off the coat rack and put it on and left the apartment.

"wait Sasuke!" Sakura ran after him.

He ignore her calls and went straight to the training grounds. He needed to blow off some steam.

Hitomi's eyes fluttered open and she groan as her eyes search her surroundings. It was dark out side her window as the snow flakes frost the glass. She turned her head to the door which was left slightly open and the light from the hall way entered the room. Getting up, she swung her legs over and stood up from the bed. Sighing she headed out the door. She wasn't really being supportive today was she?

She didn't consider the pain he had gone through watching the man who was his brother kill his family. It is one of the most pain full things to see.

"god why can't I stop thinking about it!" she groan and wrap her arms around her as the chill air made her shiver.

She needed to clear her mind and maybe get rid of this guilt. She notice she was changed into some sweat pants and a t strap white shirt. She stared down at the flat tone stomach where her red dragon birth mark rested. She had pierced her navel which had silver with red tear drop earring in it. The red Dragon was fully wrapped around her abdomen and the head ended at her navel with its mouth open around the dip of her navel making it seems as though the dragon was letting out an attack from its mouth and the tear drop navel ring act as its eye as it rested on creamy skin. She took her jacket off the coat rack and put it on. she pick up her boots in one hand and open the door slowly, trying to be as silent as possible as to not to wake the other occupants in the apartment.

Once out side she put on the boots silently and walk towards the entrance of the apartment building with soft clinks followed her every step.

She hugged her body as it wondered around while her mind filled with thoughts of how she was going to deal with the Uchiha. She didn't want him as an enemy considering the fact she had a lot of them lately.

The guilt ate at her and she hated when she felt like that, she should have known better considering the fact she saw her own family's murder, blood and their screaming voices begging to be spared. She shivered at the images that storm her mind as her body walk aimlessly through the streets.

He panted as he drove the chidori into the tree causing an explosion and the tree fell. Panting as sweat rolled down his face, he felt drain and his right hand felt numb as the painful waves from the curse mark pulse making him scream out and his body fell to the snow covered ground.

He was cut up badly from the fighting he had gone through before to get rid of the rage that was built in him by the words she said.

"Tashioni" he gritted out with hatred as he hissed in pain again. He didn't know how long he was at it or how many chidoris he had used but from the damage of the training field, it would seem he had use more than three.

"AHHHH" he screamed out again as another painful wave shot from his arm and the seal combined.

"damn" he cursed in agony. His body was in bad shape, blood oozed from his right hand and it was beginning to turn purple and on top of that he had no strength to move to find a medic and to add more salt to the wound, he was in the cold snow covered training field. The cold wind blew through the trees; it was late at night really late at night well he couldn't say night, more like morning as the cold air began to make frost of his sweat on his skin and hair. He would either die from blood lost or freeze to death. Either way he was royally screwed. Damn him and his anger. He thought bitterly as he felt his vision faded.

Hitomi nose pick up the faint scent of blood in this cold passing wind that blew through the trees. Her heart pulse and her fangs elongated. Clutching her chest she wondered what could have cause such a reaction again. The fist time it happened it was with…………..Uchiha. with that she ran towards the scent of that intoxicating blood that made her heart pulse like that.

She finally arrived at the training ground that looks like it had a civil war pass through it. Many trees were up rooted, the ground had several creators and the snow was mix with dirt.

The scent of blood and sweat filled her nose as she got closer. Lying on the ground with a blanket of snow covering their body stained with blood was the Uchiha.

She gasps at the sight and froze when she heard him stifle a scram of pain as it came out like a loud hiss.

She rushed to him and placed a hand on his. Her eyes narrowed at the source of the pain. It seams like he had different source of pain and it wasn't helping him.

"what the hell were you thinking" she said as her hands began to glow a faint pink as she healed his right hand but he kept winching in pain as the curse seal pulse.

Sasuke felt someone touch him and the sound of her voice made his heart leap but he growled in frustration as to why one simple girl had control over his body and she had no clue.

"bitch" he gritted out as another wave of pain came over him.

Hitomi stiffen in shock at what he called her and her hands hovered over his arm.

"why?" she asked not continuing her question and he knew what she was asking by the sadness that filled her voice.

The pain in his hand was gone and he began to get back the feeling in his hand and his body began to warm up.

"look-" she began as she moved her hands over his body and began to heal the wounds that were cause by his anger training.

"I'm sorry about earlier, I should have known better since I witness my family death as well" she took a sharp intake of air. His eyes bore through hers as she heals him and strangely he began to get his energy back.

"all I'm saying is that I'm sorry that I might have offended you and added more salt to your wounds that may never close up since the pain is probably far too great." She apologized and gasps at the noticeable black marks on his skin.

"bitch" he gritted out again and his just healed hand suddenly came up and covered the seal mark and he groan in pain as another pulse from it wash over his body.

"great, I apologize and he still calls me a bitch!" she began rant to her self and Sasuke glared at the girl but he was grateful that she came.

"it's your fault" he hissed making the girl look at him confused.

She shook her head and took his arm that covered his mark and tried to pull it away.

"what are you doing? Let go!" she commanded when he wasn't letting go his neck.

"let me have a look" she sighed and he slowly release his hand and let it fall to the side and sat up.

"there's a lot of dark energy coming from it" she began and she bit her thumb and index finger.

"if I can purify it a little, you would be able to control it more or have complete control" she said and began to draw marks on his heated neck where the curse seal laid.

She shot some of her chakra into the seal, he noted as he felt a rush of cool yet warm feeling flow into this body like liquid. The seal began to recede and she began to pant after the flow stop and Sasuke looked at her surprise and uncertainty

"what did you do?" he asked feeling all his energy returning and that the seal didn't hurt anymore.

"man I am so drain" she said with a big puff of air.

"answer me!" he growled. His voice deep and demanded an answer.

"my clan, priestesses, purify dark energy, chakra" she replied, dragging each word.

"make any sense to ya?" she added with a small smile and Uchiha Sasuke frown.

"what are you doing here?' he asked getting up, feeling as if nothing had happen before. Surprise was an understatement, she had heal him and return his energy and chakra while with Sakura or other medics it takes a few days for he could move muscles and for chakra to return. So why was her healing so different?

"I don't have to answer" she snap back at him making his eye brow raise in question.

"your welcome, you ungrateful prick!" she muttered and turn to leave but he grab her hand and pull her back, making her body hit his.

she gasped in surprise when she crash into him by the force. He held her still in his arms and his breathing was hard and shaky as though he was trying to calm an inner turmoil.

"Uchiha?" she asked in a shock and frighten whisper. As he stood still the wind blew with snow flakes across them. The trees rustle and the accumulated snow fell to the ground.

Sasuke had lost control again and that voice that kept calling out that name with such passion had taken over. He reminded himself that he should meditate in order to find what lie in his subconscious. The next minute he had her in his arms and was holding onto her tightly like there's no tomorrow.

His jagged breathing wasn't helping as he tried to calm himself.

She had felt the wave of warmth and a bit of pleasure after calling his name. she knew of the past, her ancestor had with an Uchiha. They were lovers but at first they were enemies and seem not to get along but it was just a phrase since none of them wanted to give up. They were too stubborn especially the Uchiha. He had hurt her many times but that only kept her away when he wanted it but somehow they crave for each other which made all the hurt worth it.

God I hope this is not happening with me she prayed silently as she push her hands against his hard firm well built chest making her drool inwardly.

It seems like hours had pass before Sasuke regain his bearings as he pushed her away. He look away from her and she looked at him eyes filled with confusion and wanted explanation for what he had done.

"you haven't answered my question" he said and she just shrugged his behavior off and began to walk away. She stops a few feet from him and the wind blew, making her long hair sway in its direction and the moon lit up her skin giving an angelic look. Her eyes gleamed with the moons reflection.

"guilt" she said and disappeared from his view making the Uchiha eyes narrow at her answer and her sudden departure without the use of chakra. The word echoed into the darkness dotted with white flaky snow.
