In Rukongai, in the village by the Red Hallow gate, Oryha wondered the town looking left to right. She was looking for some. "Ahh, there it is." She exclaimed and entered a house on her left. She bowed down and said, "I relayed your message Third Hokage." She lifted her head and in front of her sat the Third Hokage looking just as he did when he died minus all the cuts.
The Third Hokage smiled at Oryha. "Thank you Oryha." He said, his voice still sounded like it did when he was alive. Oryha sat over next to the Hokage. "I am very grateful you came to me before heading off to Konoha. Now that my message has been sent I can fully enjoy my life here without worrying about everyone in the village." The Third Hokage smiled at Oryha. "Thank you again, Oryha."
Oryha bowed her head and head for the door. She stopped and turned the Hokage and said sweetly, "You're welcome." She went out the door and headed out of the village.
The Hokage shock his head in disappointment. 'Oryha time is running out.' He thought. He head for a near by window and looked up at the sky. 'You can't deny the choice you have been given.' The Hokage sighed deeply. "You are split between two worlds." The Hokage stated before walking away from the window.
It was night time when some knocked on Hizashi's door. He got up and looked out a window near the door to see Oryha at the door. He opened the door and greeted, "Miss Uchiha, so nice to see you again." He guided her to a low table. They sat down and Hizashi offered Oryha some thing to drink or eat but she refused. "I see you're not here for a nice meal." Hizashi said at he poured some tea for Oryha. "Why are you here?"
Oryha grabbed the cup of tea and stared at the tea inside. She looked at her reflection in the tea and sighed heavily. She placed the cup back down gently. "Mister Hyuuga, I wanted to talk to you about well, fate and destiny." Hizashi stared at Oryha with an odd look on his face. "I don't know what to do." She said in a soft tone. She placed her hands on her lap and bowed her head down. "Once this is all over with, I don't know what fate or destiny has in store for me." She looked up at Hizashi with an unsure look. "Could you help me understand, if I'm destine to stay here or go back to the real world."
Hizashi rubbed his chin and thought hard for a moment. "I remember when Neji always thought that." Oryha grew in surprise that Neji thought about destiny and fate. "Neji believed that his destiny was predetermined; until his fight with that Naruto character." Oryha picked up her cup of tea and gazed at her reflection as Hizashi continued. "You have to choose if you want to stay here in the Soul Society and become a permanent soul reaper or return to the real world and become a ninja with soul of a soul reaper." Oryha looked up from her cup of tea to Hizashi. "Fate hasn't decided your path, and your destiny is not predetermined."
Oryha sighed deeply and sipped a bit of the tea. "Mister Hyuuga, what if I can't decide?" she place the cup back on the table. "What if the choice is too hard?"
Hizashi crossed his arms across his chest and had a soft expression. "Tell me Oryha, why would you want to stay here?" He asked.
Oryha glanced at him then at the window by the door. She walked over to the window to gaze at the village to see no one out side. "To return to my rightful spot so I can help these villages, and allow the village streets to be full of people and kids, not empty and vacant." Oryha looked back at Hizashi how was staring at the cup of tea on the table. "Plus my very first best friend is here, and I don't think he is willing to leave Soul Society. I never had anyone quiet like him, he always showed me kindness, and brought confidence to me when everyone was bringing me down." Oryha stared to close her eye and imagine. "Soul Society was my very first true home." Oryha opened her eyes and rushed over to her side of the table.
Hizashi seemed interested so Oryha continued, "Many years ago, about I think 200 years, I was the heir of the pure royal blood line of the Uchiha Clan. Then I was killed by my father's father and he killed me for a reason I have yet to find out. But 18 years ago I was reborn to save my soul. My new body was different from my last for some odd reason then again I was born with a Grandfather who wanted to have me killed. But I was able to live because he was killed before he got a chance to kill me." Hizashi bowed down his head and shock his head. "Soul Society was my home for basically 150 years. I so it will be hard to leave my very first home."
"What about family?" Hizashi muttered to Oryha. Oryha looked at her bracelet with the Uchiha Clan sign on it. "Who is your family here?"
Oryha thought hard and realized one thing. "Everyone is my family. At least they were 78 years ago." Oryha muttered under her breath.
Hizashi pushed the cup of tea more towards Oryha and said, "Why would you want to go back to the real world? You have everything here, I don't see how this is a hard decision to make." Oryha sipped some more tea but held the cup in her hand. "What does the real world have that Soul Society doesn't?" Hizashi looked up at Oryha with a smile across his face.
Oryha looked at her reflection one last time, and then she finally realized something. "Soul Society doesn't have anyone like Naruto, Lee, or Urahara and Yoruichi, or Sakura and Hinata, or Choji and Shikamaru, or Gai sensei and Kakashi sensei, or my parents, and Sasuke." Oryha realized that there were people in the real world that no one can compare to here in Soul Society. She looked up at Hizashi and smiled slightly. "And Soul Society doesn't have any one close to Neji." Oryha blushed slightly when staring down. "There is just something that everyone one there has that could never be replaced."
Hizashi smiled kindly at Oryha and chuckled. Oryha slowly glanced up to Hizashi. "My, my," He muttered. "I've heard of one person who looks almost like my son." Oryha gazed at Hizashi with curiosity. "What was his name again?" Hizashi looked up and the ceiling of the thought hard and started mumbling to him self. "I swear he looks almost identical to what Neji looks like now. Very uptight man, I think he was of a very powerful royal family around here. What was his name?" He continued to mutter out loud.
"Byakuya?" Oryha wonder out loud. Hizashi thought about that name for a moment, and then nodded.
"Yes," Hizashi recalled. "I believe his name was Byakuya. Isn't he like Neji?" Hizashi asked Oryha.
"He was defiantly just as cruel as Neji was when I first meet Neji." Oryha recalled her past. "But there is something different between those two that I haven't figured out yet." Oryha said and took a sip of her tea.
"Tell me the story." Hizashi requested. Oryha looked at him oddly. "Of how you and my son meet, I would like to hear how my son ended up meeting and befriending some one as unique as you." Oryha looked down and blushed slightly. "If you wouldn't mind Oryha, please allow do me the honor of telling me." Hizashi sat up and his attention all on Oryha.
"If you want to hear it," Oryha stuttered. "Then I guess I could tell you." Hizashi smiled and listened to what Oryha's story.
