Chapter 3 is officially done! So sorry it took so long. Been hella busy with school and other things. But here it is. The next chapter will be up sometime next week. Maybe the next two. Please please review and let me know what you think. Angsty lovey stuff is ending soon. :) Promise.

I woke to a knock on my door. The sun was bright in my window, my eyes adjusting to the light. It was almost automatic, sitting up in bed in a grog, realizing I'd fell asleep with my clothes from the days before still on. "Hinata-sama, a message has come for you. I will slide it through the door. It is almost dinner time and your father requests your prescience beforehand."

I looked down at the door as it slid open and the servant laid a scroll on the floor of my room. "He will be waiting at the training ring." The door slid shut and I stood up, slowly stretching. That was the most restful sleep I'd had in a long time. I sauntered over to the message, looking down at it. It was from ANBU, the familiar seal evident on its outside. I touched the seal with my thumb and the seal released, opening to allow me to read its contents.

Hyuuga Hinata,

You will be leaving late tonight on a mission for ANBU. You will lead a group of Chunin along with myself to the border of The Land of Wind to deliver important documents to Sunagakure special ops. Be prepared by midnight for this covert operation. I will brief you tonight.

Respects,

Uchiha Sasuke

At that moment the memory of last night's discussion came rushing back to me. Matchmaking- the most old fashioned of traditions and I was along for the ride. I'd given up on my heart in a split decision to accept a fate that I thought would bring me happiness. Uchiha. Inuzuka, Kendouin. I knew well that father would not want a non-shinobi match. Alliances within the village were crucial. I could truly see myself being happy, if only I grew into it, with Kiba. But Sasuke… something told me something was wrong.

Did he truly not love Sakura? Did he do this to anger her? As a rouse? Is he seriously interested in me? This had to be a strategy of his. He needs to cement the Uchiha line with his choice of bride. What better than a well rounded and proper Hyuuga kunoichi? Sick.

I sat down on my bed for a moment, letting my head spin. So many thoughts went racing through my head I couldn't collect them. Naruto was my world, the one person I loved and put all faith in. This feeling tore me from the inside. I do not see any hope of him ever loving me. I've seen him from a distance, watched and bared my heart to protect him. Yet, he loves me not. God, I was pathetic. And I felt so angry, hurt, and heartbroken in every way. Every day I longed to see him, and every night I longed to be with him. Something was taking me over and I couldn't understand.

It was like a mix between pride, determination, and disparity. Something I couldn't describe properly to anyone who didn't know what I was going through. Sasuke was up to something, and I'd be damned if I get wrapped up in some plan of his. As for Kiba, I would be honest with him as well. Tell him everything that was going on and hope that he could help me through it, at the very least help me to understand myself. He seemed to see right through me. I swallowed hard before standing up, closing the scroll and destroying it with my chakra burst technique. So useful were these chakra flames.

After I'd showered, changed into a lavender, gold, and emerald robe and obi, I made my way toward the training ring. As promised, my father was waiting for me in his traditional black and white robe. "Ah, beautiful daughter. I see your well rested," he said, extending his arm. "Walk with me in the garden a minute. I need to discuss something with you."

"Yes father," I said, taking his arm and allowing him to lead me around the corner of the house and into the garden. The lilies, irises, and blossoms were beautiful. I loved the red maples. "What is it, father?"

"We have a guest coming to dinner tonight," father said, picking a white flower and placing it behind my ear. "Beautiful. Uchiha Sasuke is coming to dine with us."

I paused, looking up at him. "Father," I said slowly. "What did you say?"

"Nothing, I assure you. I was approached by him this morning," my father responded, looking around the garden pleasantly. "He asked if I'd approached you with his proposal. I explained that you would be making the decision and he requested that he be permitted to spend time with you outside work; very proper. I gave him my permission but told him he'd have to consult you. He asked to dine with the three of us this evening and I felt that it would be a proper chance to formally ask you."

"Father, I'd have preferred if you let me do this my way," I said, fiddling with my fingers. I was actually nervous.

"I know," he assured, looking down at me. "But I couldn't deny an official request from the ANBU Black Ops leader. Besides, it isn't going to take long. I had the staff prepare a light dinner."

I bit back a sigh and nodded. "Yes, very well. Hanabi is aware?"

"Yes, she is going to formally greet him when he arrives. So, let us get to the dining hall," father said, squeezing my hand before escorting me back toward the house. I could tell he could sense my nervousness. "Just remember, you are my daughter, a Hyuuga. You'll be beautiful and honorable."

"Thanks," I whispered, before entering the dining hall. It was empty but it had four cushions sitting behind four small tables. Each held an empty porcelain cup for tea. Fathers was at the head of the room, elevated on a stage like mount only a foot higher than the rest of the room. There were two cushions and tables to the left of that on the floor and one to the right. Father led me over to the seat closest to him on the left and allowed me to kneel. He then took his position and waited. It felt like hours, even though it was only minutes until we heard Hanabi's voice from outside the room.

"It is my pleasure to escort you to our dining hall, Uchiha-sama," Hanabi said. "It is an honor that you are here. Your work must keep you very busy."

"Indeed Hyuuga-san. I am pleased that your father has invited me," his voice drifted. It didn't sound particularly excited or nervous. The same Sasuke as usual, even in his voice. The door slid open and Hanabi entered in a light blue robe and obi, the trim silver and yellow. Sasuke followed close behind, the door sliding shut behind him. He was wearing a dull navy blue robe with a black sash. He bowed respectfully to my father along with Hanabi before kneeling to the right of my father. He looked over at me immediately and bowed, I mirroring him.

"Welcome Uchiha Sasuke," my father said. "Will you take tea while we wait for our meal?"

"Please, Hyuuga-sama," Sasuke said, looking at him.

Hanabi immediately grabbed the tea from over the warmer next to father and knelt, pouring Sasuke his tea first before she did fathers. When she poured mine I could see a coy smirk on her face before she poured her own and set the pot back on the warmer. As she knelt, father was the first to speak.

"Tell me, Uchiha-San," he began, blowing on his hot tea before sipping it. "How is your health?"

"Well, thank you for asking Hyuuga-sama," Sasuke said. "I've been quite busy with work but Haruno-San assures me I'm in good condition."

"That is well," father said. "I hope you are in the mood for yakizakana and some tendon donburi. Some of the finest fish and tempura you will ever have."

"It sounds delicious," Sasuke assured, looking over at me. "How was your rest, Hyuuga-san?"

"Refreshing; I am looking forward to my upcoming mission," I said, smiling as I took a sip of my own tea. Jasmine, it was bitter yet had a sweet aftertaste.

"Good, I need your specialty on this mission," he assured, looking over at Hanabi. "Tell me, Hyuuga-san, how is your training going?"

"Very well," Hanabi assured. "I'm a master of the Hyuuga style dueling."

"That is very talented, you must be very proud Hyuuga-sama," Sasuke said, looking back at my father. This was all too formal for me. It was constraining; the awkward formalities to avoid the real reason why he was really here. I didn't want to be rude but I didn't feel comfortable with the situation. What was he playing at? What was the reason for all of this?

"-and Hinata," my heard my father say. I didn't hear their entire conversation but when I looked up Hanabi was nodding, looking over at Sasuke.

"We are pleased that Hinata is considering suitors. She is a young and available kunoichi from our clan, and my only sister. I want only the best for her," Hanabi said, patting my knee. My eyes went slightly wide. So we were on that topic.

"That is completely understandable. Hinata-san is a noble young woman from an ancient house," Sasuke said, his gray eyes resting on me. "Her skills as a ninja are incomparable and the kindness in her heart is even more so. I hope you did not think it presumptuous to request this from you or your family, Hinata-san."

I blushed slightly before shaking my head. "No, it was very noble of you. Proper, though I will say I was taken by surprise. I didn't know you were interested in taking a bride at all."

"Very interested. I won't pretend to disguise this as anything other than a formal request. You're an appealing young kunoichi belonging to a house known for its dojutsu. If I were to marry it would be to guarantee the succession of the sharingan to an heir," Sasuke admitted, his dark eyes watching my reaction.

"That is very honest and I appreciate that, Sasuke-sama, but I must admit… I do want to make the best decision for myself and my family," I admitted, the blush on my face refusing to go away. I felt so helpless. It was embarrassing.

"I'm sure Uchiha-san understands that Hinata," my father said, bowing his head in Sasuke's direction. Just then the servants came in from the kitchen, four carrying the main dishes and four more carrying the extras and platters. They allocated our meal, bowing in sequence to my father and the room before exiting.

The meal was sort of silent. We ate, made polite conversation about the state of the village, the Hokage's plans for expansion, and of course the clean up from the war. All tedious and dry conversation. I was polite, as I was expected to be, smiling and at one point refilling Sasuke's cup of tea. It was a proper sign of good faith and an honor. Something I felt wasn't done enough. Maybe that was the old fashioned girl in me but I couldn't help it.

As we finished our tea and meals, father offered to walk Sasuke around our beautiful gardens, but he wanted me to accompany them. It was odd but I agreed, following both my father and Sasuke out into the garden. They chatted briefly about relations between clans, my role should I take on the head of the Uchiha house, and of course, the dowry. An old custom among noble houses but important to establish peace and understanding.

"Naturally, Hinata would be considered an Uchiha at that point and her dowry shall go toward your estate and futures," father commented, turning to face Sasuke. "She's a noble woman of class, so she should always be treated as such. As for where you would make your home, I'd think the old Uchiha compound to be a bit constraining."

"On the contrary, it is where my happiest memories are," Sasuke said, shaking his head. "We would start our family there."

"So much future planning for such an uncertain event," I said, looking between the two of them. "You sound as if your negotiating peace treaties."

"So sorry, Hinata-san, I did not mean to presume," Sasuke said, bowing slightly. He then turned to my father. "Lord Hiashi, might I have a moment or two alone with your daughter, to discuss my intentions as well as my mission with her tonight?"

Father paused only briefly before nodding. "Very well, I will be waiting for you both in the foyer. It is getting late." With that he bowed and disappeared through the garden into the house.

I stood there a moment, collecting my thoughts before I turned and smiled at Sasuke. I hadn't noticed he'd taken a step closer to me. Here I was, standing next to the most deadly ninja in the entire world, and he is asking for my hand in marriage. My mind kept going back to Naruto. Everything was compared to Naruto. I hated myself for that.

"Hinata-san, I know this may come as a surprise but, I am sincerely seeking this arrangement. I may not be Naruto but…"

"Sasuke-sama, please," I said, shaking my head. "No need for that. I realized a long time ago that he loved Sakura. My main concern, at this point, is Sakura. We are friends, though she's been busy just like everyone else has. She still loves you. Why, then, won't you choose her to be your bride?"

"I do not think that is an appropriate topic," Sasuke said, shaking his head. "She's not a part of this and she shouldn't be consulted either. I'd like to make this decision free of social pressure. I was hoping you would feel the same."

I stood there for a moment, contemplating his words before answering carefully. "I had not considered marriage as an option for a long time. However, I will make this decision based on my own personal needs as well as the needs of my clan. I do this for myself and my family. Though, you seem to gain just as much as I would. So, I will not guarantee my decision to you. Not yet. If I cannot choose with my heart, I will grow to love the one that I choose."

He stood there for a moment, contemplating my words before doing something I hadn't seen him do since we were children. He grinned. It was awkward seeing it on his face but it was no doubt, for the briefest moment, a grin.

"How very proper of you, Hinata-san," he said, looking me over. "You were my first decision and I can understand why. Now, I hope to work out a schedule with you and your father so that we may get to know one another better. For now I will leave that to you but I must speak about our mission tonight."

"Go on," I said, smiling politely.

"It's a covert mission to deliver key information about jinchuriki to Sunagakure. We will be meeting their Special Ops on our border. We have reason to believe that many clans that were negatively affected by the war will be tracking us and after our intel. I need your expertise in transporting and revealing potential enemies."

"Kiba or Shino could have done just as good a job," I said, looking him over slowly.

"You've caught on quickly," he said, looking up at the sky. "I was hoping this could also be a chance for us, as teammates and colleagues, to spend time together."

Sasuke Uchiha was asking to spend time with me, going out of his way to assign me to his team on an assignment. This was more than I'd expected.

It was late, almost time to depart for our mission. Under the cover of darkness we would set out for Sunagakure, I had with me my ninja tools but this time, I was dressed to impress. I don't know if it was because I had just had dinner with Sasuke, or if it was because I wanted to impress him. Honestly, I just wanted to reinforce the strong kunoichi he said he saw. Hanabi had insisted I put on eye liner, just a little to accent the lavender in my eyes. So, dressed in ANBU black and gray, my hair tied up on the top of my head in a long tail, I made my way toward our rally point. An ironic spot, considering it was the memorial to the comrades lost in war. When I got there, everyone had already assembled. Sasuke was standing with four other shinobi, all dressed in ANBU gear, masks over their faces.

When I approached they all turned, bowing to me. "Hyuuga-sama," they all chimed.

"Hello," I said, greeting in a kind voice. "I am so glad to have you all here, going on this mission with Uchiha-sama and myself. May the gods protect us and look favorable on our mission." I then turned to Sasuke, his eyes watching me intently. I bowed to him slightly, my eyes never leaving his. I couldn't imagine looking at him like this only a year ago. He seemed to frigid, distant. Something about him had changed very recently and for some reason, I felt comfortable treating him as a close comrade again.

Then I felt it, his dojutsu. When I looked into his eyes is when I started feeling those feelings, something so obvious I was stunned, unable to move for a moment.

"Hyuuga-sama?" Sasuke spoke out, looking me over. "I want to go over the details. Please come closer."

I nodded, walking over to his side and looking over his shoulder. He had a map, his eyes focusing on it. "Alright, as I was saying this is a covert operation to deliver information to our allies. I expect that we may run into a tracking unit or two. They are part of an alliance of powerful clans from many different smaller nations dedicated to corrupting the peace we achieved as the shinobi alliance. This is where Hyuuga-sama comes in. With your new technique I expect nothing but ferocity and accuracy. You two," he said, pointing at two of the men in masks standing across from him. "Will provide her with back up. You will be answerable to her because when we approach our destination, about five kilometers out, we will split into two units."

"Our rally point?" I asked, looking at the map.

Sasuke pointed to a mark on the map, just over the border of Suna. "Here, is where we expect our drop off. Stay cautious and alert, even when we get there."

"Understood," I said, tightening the pack on my hip.

"Good, now let's go. We have a limited time frame."

With that we took off, the cool night air brisk on my face. We left Konoha as a team, Sasuke leading and me at the rear, keeping an eye out for any enemies that could be watching. Other than a small group of patrol in the forest outside the village, we ran into nothing. It was a silent trip, something I should have expected. The ANBU men were dedicated to Sasuke, something the village elders were concerned about when Shikamaru assigned Sasuke as ANBU leader. After travelling for an hour straight the pace slowed slightly, and then we stopped. I did a scan of the area up to a kilometer in each direction. There was nothing.

"Why are we stopping?" I asked, looking about.

"Check twelve o'clock, three kilometers ahead," Sasuke said, his eyes narrowing. I nodded, looking in that direction.

"A team of eight," I said, narrowing my vision. "There are two with an enormous chakra signature, the others average. A scouting group? It is quite large for a scouting group."

"They are expecting us," Sasuke said, looking over at one of the men in an ANBU mask. "Use your bugs to mask our prescience."

It wasn't Shino so it must have been one of his cousins. He didn't have the same voice but had the same monotone seriousness. "Yes, Sasuke-sama."

"Hinata, be ready. Your our tracking unit on this mission. Aburame-san does not possess the same tracking ability is as Shino-san. He uses his bugs to devour chakra, allowing us to slip by unnoticed but it is up to your eyes to track the enemies movements."

"Yes," I said, focusing chakra in my fists. If there were that many enemies, our best bet would be the silent killing technique.

"You," Sasuke said, turning to the man next to me. "Use your mind transfer on Hinata. You will be on my team but I need to know everything Hinata sees when we continue on. Your team, comprised of Aburame-san and Akimichi-san will follow you to the west, to flank them. We will face them head on, distracting them from your technique, Hinata-sama."

"Choji?" I asked, looking over at the man in the mask. He didn't look or sound like Choji, but I as forbidden to use even my byakugan to look behind the mask.

"No Hyuuga-sama," he replied, shaking his head. "I'm his second cousin Chojiro. I use the expansion jutsu but it has a limit. The limit isn't a disadvantage though. It makes me stealthier, faster, and harder to track."

"Very well," I said, smiling slightly. I had forgotten that Choji had over twenty cousins.

"Before we depart prepare yourselves," Sasuke instructed, his eyes never leaving the area where the enemy was coming from. "If they could get through our border without alerting the patrol then they are skilled indeed." At this Sasuke came over to me, motioning for me to follow him so we were out of hearing distance. While the others checked their weapons, preparing their jutsu, we spoke. It felt odd but I kept my byakugan activated, looking about with ever more caution.

"Hinata," he said, his eyes watching my face. "Do not take any unnecessary precautions. I do not like worrying about you but I fear that I will not be able to control it."

I wasn't sure if this was a confession of concern or a general rule of thumb but knowing Sasuke, it was probably a precaution. He didn't want me becoming a burden to the team. "I understand, Sasuke-sama."

"Good, even though we haven't spent any time together this trip, I want you to know that I really do need you on this mission. You are crucial to its success. Though, I won't lie. I wanted to bring you on this mission mainly to get a look at this technique you've developed. I haven't seen you in battle since the war."

"That was quite cunning, Sasuke-sama," I said, a slight grin on my face. "But I understand. I will stay sharp and I will not allow my comrades to be hurt."

He stood there a moment, looking me over before nodding. He was still so distant but the way he squeezed my shoulder, as he walked away, gave me this warm feeling inside. He seemed genuinely concerned for me. Something that, I had to admit, I wanted to feel. Now I felt distracted. My mind raced back to Naruto, his nindo and the way he protected his comrades. Sasuke, I though, must have picked up a que from him.

"Let us go," Sasuke said, looking us all over. "Hinata's team will go west, flanking the tracking unit. Do not hesitate, do not show mercy, and most importantly, do not leave your comrades behind."

"Yes, Sasuke-sama," we all said in unison, taking off in our own respected directions. I saw the chakra of the Aburame in the bugs leading us. He was masking our chakra with his bugs, something I though remarkable considering the amount of chakra that Chojiro was outputting.

I watched intently as Sasuke's group approached the enemy, their chakra instantly flaring. So they did have a tracking nin among them. This was going to be tricky. I could mask my chakra as best I could but I relied heavily on the insects surrounding us. I watched as the tracking unit became alert, forming battle formations. One of the larger enemies broke from their ranks, making his way toward the east, his movements precise as he meant to flank Sasuke and his group.

I transferred this information to Sasuke, the mind transfer jutsu directly connecting my thoughts with the Yamanaka on his team. After we covered two kilometers we backtracked, flanking the group from behind. Sasuke's group was in combat, their chakra signatures drawing everyone's attention. As we approached from the rear, hiding ourselves in the branches above the group, I noticed two of the unit hung back, waiting for a counter attack. They were cautious, weaker chakra levels than the others. Something, to me, seemed off. If they wanted to counter attack then they should have left stronger opponents.

It happened suddenly though. I signaled to my team, telling them to stay put. I could take on both opponents without interference. I knew if things went south they'd jump in but for now, I could handle this. I quickly dodged around them, through the trees, immediately jumping to the forest floor. Using my senbon again I focused my chakra into them, throwing them directly into the most vital chakra points. The one opponent was instantly paralyzed by my attack, the chakra penetrating her system and immobilizing her. She was a water user. This would work to my advantage. Her partner immediately jumped away from her, his eyes going slightly wide.

I weaved a hand sign before firing a water cannon at him, soaking him and knocking him back a few feet. He must have had a lot of intel on me and my skills because he immediately moved to the side, out of sight. He scanned the tree line, his eyes narrowing. Was he a dojutsu user? Before he could dry himself I weaved another hand sign, the body of the girl falling to the forest floor, dead. The water dripping from his hair immediately froze as I used air palm, freezing him to the trunk of the tree behind him. He was about to scream but a swarm of bugs came charging in, surrounding the body and making it disappear.

"Good job, Hinata-sama," said the Aburame as he came down from the trees.

"Yes, good thinking," Chojiro said. "Now, let's flank the rest."

"Sasuke has already managed to take down one of the larger chakra signatures, only three opponents left and a larger one attempting to flank him," I said. "We have to move quickly and take down the other opponents. The larger one is building up an immense amount of chakra."

They nodded and followed me as I approached the battle. The three chakra signatures were grouped together, fending off the attacks of the ANBU and Sasuke. Sasuke, I knew, had never lost sight of the other opponent, his sneak attack bound to fail miserably. What I did not see coming was the second we approached the battle field, another opponent had flanked us.

He appeared suddenly, his chakra spiking for me to see. I did not understand why I had not seen him before until I noticed a seal, tattooed on his neck. He had masked his chakra completely and was hiding, lying in wait for our team. I didn't have time to react to anything other than dodging his attack. He was a fire user, sending a bright red flame straight at the three of us. I managed to dodge but due to the focus of his bugs, the Aburame got hit, his insects immediately going up in flames, singing his arm and part of his mask. He gained composure, kneeling on the ground just out of the opponents reach.

I couldn't let him get hit again, and I saw the fire user building up his chakra. I quickly activated my twin lions, dodging around a tree and getting within his range. As I swung at him, he dodged barely, taking a step back.

"Ah, so it was you that spotted us," he said, a slight smirk on his dark face. He wore no head band but had a simple red and black kimono. I didn't reciprocate, standing between the injured Aburame and him. Chojiro did the same, standing a few feet to my right. "It looks like I have my work cut out for me. Though a Hyuuga princess would be a great catch, no doubt an even better bounty, I cannot waste chakra here. Allow me to end this quickly for all of you."

He quickly weaved a hand sign and I immediately threw my senbon, barely missing him to the left as he dodged, sending a pillar of mist at us, and restricting our view. He was a fire and water user? I had my byakugan constantly activated but it didn't help, he had completely masked himself again. "Manji," I said, the Aburame springing up behind me. We watched closely, waiting, listening. I focused my chakra and immediately used air palm, blowing away the steam that was around us. It was all clear, quiet. I listened, and watched for what felt like an eternity but nothing had happened. Then, the whole clearing lit up in an eerie golden glow.

"Allow me to show you the strength of the Allied Clans," came a voice and then, Aburame fell to the ground, his body going stiff. What was he hit with? A genjutsu? His chakra was steady but his body was immovable, my eyes searching quickly. Suddenly, I saw it. Though he had masked his prescience, the remnants of the jutsu remained, leading me right to him. I quickly used air palm, knocking him from his perch on a low tree branch. I didn't have time to think about anything else. I quickly sprinted at him, hitting him twice with my twin lions.

To my surprise, and confusion, he just grinned. The part of his body I had connected with had liquefied. Then, he grabbed my arm, sending a wave of chakra up my arm to my spine. I had to use all my strength to break his chakra, expelling it from my body before breaking free of his grip, my leg connecting with the side of his head. He stumbled sideways a moment before weaving another hand sign, the eerie golden light intensifying. It was only then that I noticed Chojiro coming at him from the side, connecting his large fist with the ninjas side. He went flying, hitting a tree before falling to the ground.

He composed himself quickly, standing and weaving another hand sign. The eerie light was emanating from the tattoo on his neck, his jutsu bursting from it and hitting Chojiro full on. He was flung back and landed in a heap on the ground. He looked paralyzed as well, his eyes slightly wide. I had to get inside this guys range and hit him with everything I had. If I didn't, our lives could be in danger.

I quickly bolted up to him again, exchanging blows, his jutsu sending me flying backward. I landed on the ground, knocking the wind out of me. I couldn't stop though, I couldn't stay down nor could I ignore the chakra he was building within his body. I came at him again, using air palm to throw him off balance. We sparred, blow for blow his fists connecting with my shoulder and my arm. I could feel his chakra trying to enter my system, my own reacting by expelling it into my twin lions. They glowed an odd greenish color before one of my punches connected, hitting him square in the jaw. This sent him flying and he landed with a loud thump against the base of a tree. I didn't hesitate. I threw my senbon at him, landing three in his neck, paralyzing him in place. I approached him quickly, my palm extended at his chest. With a quick burst of chakra it was finished, his limp and lifeless body lying at my feet. All of his chakra was gone, faded with his death.

I quickly surveyed the area. There was only one opponent left where Sasuke and his team was. I could feel a little bit of blood on my shoulder and trickling from the side of my mouth but I quickly wiped it away, moving to kneel next to Chojiro. He and the insect user were still paralyzed. Using what little I knew about medical ninjutsu I placed a palm over his chest, sending my chakra into his system, expelling the odd golden chakra from his body. He was still unconscious, even when I got it all out. I moved to help the Aburame when I heard a noise behind me. I quickly looked up but it was in vain. My vision had gone blank. Whether I had lost consciousness from using my chakra or an enemy I did not know. But I faded, the last thing I recall was an odd, yet familiar chakra emerging from the trees.

Review and let me know what you think. There will be some great action and mysterious plot with this. Just keep reading. Thanks!
