"What the hell-" She yelped as she took several steps back away from the levitating and snapping book and stepped right into someone who had come up behind her. She jerked and started to turn around to say something then a hand reached out and grabbed the book out of thin air and closed it.

"Maa, your shorter than I thought you would be-" The person said in an amused, smooth sounding octane voice as a large hand settled on top of her head, stilling all motion from her. "But I suppose that allowances must be made. Although I hadn't foreseen anything about the little one inside of you. Not that it matters much since you'll be well cared for and coveted as a descendant of Cassandra." The person said as she managed to tip her head back to look at them.

Standing right behind her was a man in his early thirties with peculiar eerie blue eyes, mid back length spiky strawberry blond hair. Her eyes widened a little bit as her eyes met his, and he smiled as she paled a little bit.

"W-W-What-" She stuttered in shock. Her mind abuzz with questions like, Who are you? Why have I been having visions about you? Why are you here? Aren't you dead?

"Uh-uh-" He said as he lifted his other hand and placed his index finger against her mouth and grinned when her eyes got as big as saucers. "No questions. Not yet anyways. I don't have the energy to answer them right now."

"Then why are you here?" Shay asked after a second or so when she was finally able to think strait.

The man gave her a small smile. Choosing not to tell her that he had managed to seal a small part of his own soul in the book that she held for the sole purpose of sending her to the other world before his enemy could reach her and kill her. "I'm going to send you on a holiday-"

"H-Huh?"

"Hold on and just let me focus for a second. I need to awaken your blood line limit a little more before I send you on your way-" The man said cheerfully as an icy sliver of fear crawled down her spine. Just what the did he mean by 'send'?

Naruto walked into his tent and stripped off his jacket and head band and flopped down on his cot and sighed tiredly. His conversation with Kakashi had taken more out of him than he had thought. It was a pain really, especially since he had tried so hard to hide his thoughts on the destruction of the village. Among other things.

Yet Kakashi was able to read him so damn easily.

He hated it when someone looked at him and then said stuff like that to comfort him. He didn't think that he deserved to be comforted since everything that had happened to the village was technically his fault.

His fault for being the village jinchiriki.

His fault for existing.

He mumbled something under his breath and hugged the pillow and closed his eyes. He was too tired to dwell on this shit anymore today. He'd grab a few hours of sleep then start dwelling on it all over again.

Yeah that sounded like a plan.

Madara Uchiha sat in the loft apartment belonging to the descendant of Cassandra.

His one visible eye a deep crimson and narrowed under his mask in irritation.

Where was she? He had been back and forth in his world and in this one looking for her. And had finally found her a week ago when she had been out grocery shopping. He knew about the girl's ability, that she was an heir to the great sage's blood line.

That she contained several very important and powerful blood line limits that he couldn't afford to let her pass to the next generation which was why he had to kill her. It was nothing personal really. Well okay it was technically personal considering her ability.

But he stood firm on his belief that she had to die.

It was a waste of power and ability, sure. But he simply couldn't allow her to live and chance her somehow ending up in the other world with her male counter part, Naruto. Because if the two of them ever met up his plan to release the ten tailed biijuu would never see it's end. Which was why he had started looking for her in both dimensions.

He couldn't let her fall into the hands of the leaf nins and at the same time she couldn't be locked away or allowed to breed.

Her power was simply too great.

I'll have to re read the manga to figure out what I'm going to do.
