Author's Note's: Bit of a smaller chapter this time.
First of all, this entire chapter is just one long conversation. I apologize about that. It was, however, needed, because now I can focus on the present instead of filling chapters with flashbacks. Enough of the main characters are around that I can actually start the story, rather than build god-like brothers' history practically from the ground up.
Important: You may or may not have noticed the name change yet…
Yes, I have changed my account name. I was once Mr AnimeKidd, and now I am Dreaming of the Horizon. There is a good reason for this, I assure you. I have created a group/community called "Dreamers" with my good friend, Pheonixblade – who is now going by Dreaming of the Phoenix – and we both decided to change out names to the official team name. This group/community is sort of an "author's team", where writers unite together to assist each other with really anything a member needs.
The main focus of this team is to promote authors. Members will be promoted by other members while they promote others as well. I'm sick of seeing great stories and author's underappreciated. I have seen so many great fic's out there that get no love for no reason. Enough is enough.
If you are interested in joining, or know of someone you think deserves to join, please PM me or Phoenix. We are looking to recruit decent authors, and so far the list is small. We are looking for good writers and betas (as purely betas will also be accepted). If you have more questions, please PM me or take a look at my profile. This entire thing is still in the developmental stages, so those who join now will be considered founding members, and I have been known to make great gaming teams, so I have some experience in this type of thing. I'm aiming to make this a HUGE thing on this site, and hopefully, after some time, on other media as well.
Bringer of Peace
Chapter Nine – Family
Itachi, Naruto, and Neji turned to face an out of breath Sasuke, who was panting in front of the three boys. There was a look on the boy's face that concerned Itachi greatly. Sasuke had sprinted through the house directly towards them in a hurried state, and was now trying to catch his breath to tell them something that, considering his panicked demeanor, was rather important.
"A-Aniki… some… someone is attacking the compound!" Sasuke said through heavy breaths, his eyes wide with fear. Nothing like this had ever happened to them, and Sasuke was only an average, seven year old academy student.
Itachi narrowed his eyes in confusion. "Where is the intruder?" He asked. It was unheard of for someone to specifically attack a single compound, and near impossible for anyone that wasn't at least an A-ranked shinobi.
"Father and the rest of the corps are trying to stop them at the front gates." Sasuke replied hurriedly. "He told me to find you." He finished. It was quite exciting for Sasuke. He felt like finding and informing his brother was a mission, and he swelled with pride that it was a complete one.
"Let us confront this intruder, Itachi." Naruto finally spoke. He gave his friend a small smile.
Itachi nodded. "Hai." He replied, grateful that Naruto was coming along. He felt invincible when by the young blond's side. He felt like nothing could stand in their way if Naruto truly chose to push through it. He could tell rather easily that the genin was holding back when he sparred, and that little fact really made a difference.
"Are you coming, brother?" the Uzumaki asked, turning to the Hyuuga.
Neji just huffed, crossing his arms. "Do you really even have to ask?" He answered with a knowing smirk. When they first walked the earth, Hagoromo and Hamura always fought together. They were history's most powerful duo, most deadly tag-team, ever. They could fight gods, demons, and everything in between when they entered battle side by side.
Naruto returned his brother's smirk before looking at Sasuke. "Protect your kaa-san while we're gone, okay. Can you do this mission for me?" He smiled even wider when Sasuke nodded excitedly, happy to help. Naruto knew that Sasuke was a slightly above average academy student, and that if Fugaku, an experienced jonin, couldn't handle this threat on his own, then Sasuke wouldn't have a chance, but it was more of a way to keep the boy calm than anything. And the fact that Mikoto possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan meant that she could protect Indra's incarnation while he was away. He knew they were technically the same age – Sasuke was actually older by a few months – but every time he looked at the young Uchiha, he could only see his first son. He wasn't going to ignore Indra anymore. It was about time he was a real father, and if that meant being a friend to the next link in the chain, then he would.
"Hai! I won't let anything happen to kaa-chan!" Sasuke stated firmly, determination lighting his onyx eyes like a fire.
Naruto smiled and nodded. "Good." He then turned to the other two, and nodded again. "Let's see who would attack Konoha's most powerful clan in broad daylight, shall we?" He asked. When he received slight nods, they all vanished in a swirl of leaves.
Naruto ran towards the Uchiha compound's front gate alongside Neji and Itachi. The entire situation felt off to Naruto. Why would anyone attack the Uchiha when the sun was up? Doing so would mean that they were ready to take on all of Konoha, and Naruto very much doubted that anyone would want to take on such a task.
So what was this person doing? It was strange, to say the least.
They could see clan members underneath them, watching as the shinobi sped overhead. There was quite a few worried looks on their faces when they saw the three of them rushing somewhere, knowing that it couldn't be something good if the great sage and his brother were deployed.
As they ran, there was a sudden spike of something wrong, something foul yet not, something… familiar.
Immediately, Neji's eyes widened in recognition, and Naruto could see his brother's chakra surge all around them. "That's…" he whispered, before he literally blasted past them, breaking the sound barrier, shattering the glass of the many buildings that surrounded them. The cries of the frightened Uchiha below them were completely drowned out by the incredible sound of Neji's raw speed, enhanced by the cyan cloak covering his entire body, and the powerful Tenseigan greeting the world.
Itachi had to cover his face to stand the force behind Neji's speed, something that actually surprised him a great deal. That much raw speed was legendary, and this had been the first time he'd ever seen it. It got him thinking… just what else were these two hiding?
"Neji!" Naruto shouted, but it was too late, his brother was gone. He sighed, looking at Itachi. "Hold on to me." He said. Itachi obeyed immediately, grabbing the blond by the shoulder. "Hang on tight." He warned the Uchiha, before he too was gone with another boom, scaring the Uchiha below them for a second time.
Naruto and Neji had decided to not show their true strength and speed to anyone yet, for the simple fact that they never knew who was watching. They lived in a shinobi village; they could be watched by multiple people at any given point. They couldn't afford for other's to know just how powerful they were yet. They needed to keep low and build their strength before they were sucked into political squabbles. They didn't have the time to worry about the strength of the village, or what other villages thought about them, and if they went and showcased their true strength to the world right now, they'd have to start everything prematurely. That was not something Naruto wished, but he'd rather have an unexpectedly early start than allow his brother to rush into a possibly hostile ploy to get him alone.
They were powerful, even now, but if they truly had to fight some of the beings that possessed the power whatever was at the front gate possessed, they'd have to result to rather destructive techniques, and Naruto would rather not destroy an entire village and all its inhabitants.
Fugaku panted for breath as he stared at the girl before him. This was absolutely ridiculous.
A young girl, no older than twelve, had shown up at his compound's front gate, demanding that she be taken to one Hyuuga Neji. How the girl knew that the young Hyuuga was currently within the compound didn't sit well with Fugaku, who had been discussing something with the gate guards.
Then, after getting upset that they claimed that there was no Hyuuga within their compound, the dusky-skinned girl tried to push past the Uchiha patriarch, her short, silver hair bobbing side to side as she did so. And then, when one of the guards put a hand on her shoulder to stop her, he was literally thrown into the walls that kept the Uchiha sealed away.
That had gotten Fugaku to step in, and to his great surprise, she began to attack him. The greatest surprise, however, was that she was actually pushing the skilled patriarch back. With every second, they receded into the compound inch by inch, and Fugaku had to wonder just who this girl was.
He actually had to resort to ninjutsu when she began to throw around blackish-purple energy at him and the others of the Uchiha police force, who had shown up when they felt their commander flare his chakra. The substance that she was using – without hand-seals, no less – was corrosive to the touch, and was extremely nimble and fast. Even with the Sharingan, Fugaku couldn't see any chakra whatsoever coming from the strange energy, something that confused him greatly.
After sending his youngest son, who had been just arrived from the academy, to inform Itachi about what was happening, a considerable battle between the young girl and the Uchiha police force commenced; one that the Uchiha were slowly beginning to lose. Most of his men were already down, but with his Sharingan, Fugaku could tell that none were dead, thankfully.
"Enough!" the girl suddenly shouted, throwing her hands into the air. "This is trivial! All I ask is to see Hyuuga Neji, what is so hard to contemplate about that, you benign fools?" The girl's bright, azure eyes expressed her annoyance as she glared at the Uchiha Head.
"I am Uchiha Fugaku, and I am the Head of the Uchiha Clan. You are trespassing on Uchiha property, and you will be punished for your slight against us. You cannot do anything you wish just because you want to, little girl. I've already told you that there is no Hyuuga in the compound."
That seemed to upset the silver-haired girl, because she immediately narrowed her eyes at his words. "Little girl…?" she whispered. "Little girl!?" she suddenly shouted, clenching her hands in anger. "I am older than you by at least a millennium, foolish little boy." She stated in a scary voice that spoke of great power. Suddenly, a huge aura of something washed over them, and it threatened to suffocate his very being. It was incredibly large, and Fugaku was sure that this was the end for him. He would die at the hands of this girl in his own compound.
And then he felt an even bigger spike of energy behind him, this time it was chakra, and he immediately felt relieved. He knew who it was that flared that chakra.
In seconds, Hyuuga Neji was in front of him, the boy's back towards him. He was safe, he was sure.
"Y-You…" Neji whispered breathlessly as he looked at her. She looked just as he remembered, but younger with shorter hair.
Otsutsuki Lilith smiled at her husband for the first time in literally a thousand years. It was such a beautiful smile.
"Hello, husband." Lilith greeted Neji with a tired voice, her eyes tearing up slightly as her hands shook with nervousness and excitement.
Neji's chest rose and fell quickly, his breathing labored, his mind foggy. "Is… is it really you…?" he asked in a tone that prayed to kami that it was true. Fugaku just stood there, silent for the moment, before he suddenly turned to see his son and Naruto show up.
The moment Lilith saw the blond; she immediately diverted her eyes to the ground, her nervousness welling up even more. She could say whatever she wanted, she was still and probably would always fear those eyes, this man, no matter what form he took.
Neji didn't even realize that Naruto had arrived, so lost he was in the fact that his wife, the only woman he'd ever loved, was standing right in front of him. She was so close that he could touch her.
So he did.
Neji flung himself at the younger-looking version of his wife, wrapping his arms around her slightly larger frame – he was only eight, and she looked to be around twelve – and embraced her. He embraced her the only way he could, and she melted into his arms, as if they were the arms of Hamura, as if nothing had changed. She could feel his soul, his chakra, his everything, and even though there was another presence in the young body with him, she could feel that Hamura was the dominant one. She closed her eyes and sighed in content as his aura enveloped her, wrapping her in a thick blanket that was so familiar. This was the feeling she had craved since he had departed. She missed her husband so much, and she was given her wishes at that moment.
Naruto watched the whole thing with indeterminable eyes. Itachi watched his first friend with closely observing eyes, trying to determine if this person who was being embraced like a long lost lover by Neji was friend or foe. After a few seconds under the analytical gaze of Itachi's Sharingan, the soon-to-be ex-ANBU operative concluded that the girl was both friend and foe, which was confusing to Itachi. Just who was this girl, and why did she call Neji "husband"?
"It was you, wasn't it, Lilith." Naruto finally spoke, and Itachi visibly flinched, never before hearing such a strong voice from his friend. The person who spoke was the Sage of Six Paths, the mighty soldier of peace, the man who had fought gods and demons alike. This was the person who could strike fear into any man on the planet with just a single whisper.
Neji felt Lilith stiffen in his arms, and he let go to stare at her in confusion. He had heard his brother's voice – no one could ignore such a powerful tone – and he felt fear leak off his wife the likes of which he wasn't okay with.
"Brother, let me at least be with my wife for a few minutes before you go and accuse her of something." Neji said in an equally powerful voice. Fugaku was actually sweating. How the hell did they sound so terrifyingly powerful with nothing but their voice?
Ah, the usefulness of chakra coated vocal chords was many.
"I asked you a question, Lilith." Naruto spoke again, completely ignoring his brother's words. "Answer me. It was you to bring us back, was it not?" He asked his question again, and Neji narrowed his eyes at Naruto. He… he somewhat had a feeling that it was Lilith to bring him back. He felt that familiar feeling of her power when he was brought back, he just didn't know for sure. And he didn't want to upset his brother, but when his wife was talked down to like she was nothing but a simple demon, when she was so much more now, Neji wasn't going to sit by and allow her to be taken from him right after they reunited, even if that meant he'd have to destroy this entire village battling his brother.
A man's love for his faithful wife was extremely potent.
"Yes." Lilith answered before Neji could say anything more. "It was me." Naruto's Rinnegan never left her azure eyes, staring at her like she was nothing but his next prey. Lilith sighed. She'd explain everything now, and accept her punishment gratefully. She had nothing to be ashamed of. "What should I call you now?" She asked. "I do not wish to be disrespectful." She really didn't know what she should call him. She wasn't sure if he wanted anyone to know his true name, but he could crush her like a bug if she wrongly called him by his name in this era. Lilith knew that he was a reasonable, understanding man and random acts of violence were not his forte, but ever since the Great Purge, she was terrified of pissing him off.
"You can call me Uzumaki Naruto. That is the name of the soul you forsook when you brought me back to this world." He stated bluntly, causing the "older" girl to flinch slightly.
"H-Hai… Naruto-san…" she took in a deep breath, calming her nerves. She was before her husband, and she would not look like a weak, stereotypical "damsel in distress". She was a powerful, capable woman who didn't need to rely on anyone unless she so chose to. "When the two of you left, the only family I've ever known," here, Lilith thought she saw the blond's expression soften, but she pushed that aside as her imagination. "I was heartbroken. I had found the love that I so craved with Hamura. I found a place at his side, something I should never have attained. I found a reason to live, and it brought me true happiness." She smiled softly at the back of Neji's head – the boy himself still watching his brother with narrowed eyes.
"I am well aware of yours and my brother's relationship, Lilith. Get to why you thought it appropriate to forsake the souls of others to bring us back." Naruto stated.
Lilith's smile fell. "All that disappeared when the two of you left. Our families were torn apart by your sons… the peace I watched you both work so hard to bring was cast aside, your creations were treated harshly, the corruption of ninshu… I watched everything fade away into ugliness." Naruto clenched his teeth, "And everything I had held dear was lost. I felt empty… it was a struggle to do anything I was so hurt, but after a while, I just couldn't take it anymore." She clenched her fists. "I decided to watch over this world, the world that had forsaken your teachings, the world I have grown to loathe for the desecration of all that I witnessed you two shape with your bare hands. I made sure that nothing came from my own realm. I made sure nothing touched your precious jewel. That nothing tried to slip between thin veil that keeps my birthplace separate from yours. I watched, and I wept at what I saw, but I kept my promise to my husband, and I never interfered, not once, no matter how much I wished to."
Neji's fists were clenched in white-hot fury. Hearing his wife explain her suffering was something that hurt him more than any wound ever could.
Lilith continued. "I watched as generation after generation fell into the cycle of war, and I wished nothing more than to wipe them off the face of the planet for what they did. They used a tainted form of your teachings to kill and murder each other… It was sick. I watched as everyone suffered, and after a thousand years, I couldn't just watch any more. I had to do something. This place is no longer your Garden of Eden, it is an ugly reflection of the beautiful thing it once was." Naruto was silent through all of this, his purple, ringed eyes never leaving her azure orbs. "But I am not a creature of peace like the both of you. I am not born for peace, but of the opposite. A demon like me could never hope to take your places, so I did the only thing I could." She was no longer scared. She looked at the blond with a content smile. "I will not apologize or ask for forgiveness, because the world needed this necessary evil. I have sinned, but it was a beautiful one in my eyes, and if I am to die by your hands because of it, then I will do so with a smile on my face, because I have finally done something good, and it was on my own."
Fugaku and Itachi just stood there, taking in everything being said with wide eyes. The things this woman said baffled the Uchiha Head and Heir, so they stood in silence, partly because they were wary of what the blond would do, and partly because they wished to hear more. She spoke of the history of the world with every word that left her tongue, and Itachi had originally inherited his desire to study and learn such history from his father.
By this time, a lot of Uchiha shinobi stood around them from a distance, knowing that they were not to interfere unless they were strictly told to do so. The entire clan knew who Naruto and Neji were, and the respect they felt towards the two was mightier than the Will of Fire itself. They were close enough to provide support, but far away enough that they couldn't hear their conversation. They could, however, read their lips with their Sharingan, so most of them were also as shocked as the father and son that stood next to them.
Lilith never broke eye contact with her brother-in-law, and the content, accepting smile on her face never wavered. She had felt the embrace of her husband for the first time in centuries, even though it had only lasted a few minutes. Those few minutes, though, had been enough for her. If she were to die this moment, she would die a content woman. That was how strong her love was for her husband. He had changed her very nature. She was a being of chaos and lust, and even though she was still the incarnation of lust, she was no longer purposefully exuding it in a un-lady-like fashion. It was okay for a woman to be sexy and affectionate, but when it became unsavory and extremely lewd, it was no longer acceptable. All that went away, however, when she and her husband were alone in the comfort of privacy. Hamura, who was now named Neji, had forgiven her for all her sins against humanity – after proving herself, of course – and accepted her for what she was. He didn't care if she was a demon, or if she had defied her world's god on multiple occasions. In his beautiful, alabaster eyes, she was the most beautiful, most important thing in all creation, and that feeling, that warmth that it made in her stomach, that was something that was better than all the power, all the money in the world. It was a feeling only Hamura could give her, and it was because of that feeling that he completely held her heart as his own. He had her loyalty, her love, her everything for that feeling, and she would still hold that feeling even in death as she burned in hell, even if she were to die by his own blade.
All eyes were on Naruto, as the seven year old just stared at the young-looking Lilith before them. His face was schooled into perfect stoicism, the kind that put every shinobi to ever live to shame with his mastery of emotions. Itachi, someone who had the analytical prowess of a Kage since he was seven, could not determine what his friend was thinking. The eyes that had gazed upon Kami were the eyes that terrified the beings of the old world, demonic and divine alike. Those were the eyes that Lilith stared into in both defiance and acceptance. She was at peace, ironically.
The seconds turned into minutes, and suddenly, Naruto did something that surprised everyone present.
He chuckled.
"You know," Naruto began as he slowly put on foot in front of the other, taking a step towards his brother and his wife. "I have seen with my very eyes the destruction and defilement humans have brought against this world and my teachings. I have seen my son's fight over and over for centuries. I have witnessed the fall of our families, and I have seen true pain because of humanity's greed and lust." He was by now in front of his brother, who still had narrowed eyes, his stance that of a shinobi who was prepared for war. Naruto just smiled at his brother, placing a single hand on his shoulder, nodding his head slightly. Itachi saw Neji visibly relax, his posture leaving a defensive stance. "My eyes saw everything, even after I departed, and I, too, Lilith, have wished to wipe their entire species off the face of the planet." His words were said so easily, so bluntly, that Fugaku and Itachi felt shivers run up and down their spines. Those words were spoken far too calmly, like it would have been an easy task.
What they didn't know, or maybe they did and chose not to notice it – an intelligent decision – was that for the Sage of Six Paths, the annihilation of every human on the planet was not impossible for him.
When Neji received the message, Naruto continued, making his way to Lilith. "I have lost everything because of them. My wife no longer walks the earth, my sons have torn the world asunder time and time over again, and my creations have been imprisoned and enslaved for centuries. My teachings have been abused and mistreated, and the blood of millions is on my hands…" It was true. He had given humanity ninshu, which was turned into ninjutsu. He had given humanity a means to kill, and kill they did. They even branded him with a title he would never accept. The God of Shinobi he was not. "So trust me when I say that I understand you, more than anyone else… I understand you Lilith." Naruto now stood directly in front of the silver-haired girl, looking up because of the age difference, and everyone could still tell that he was the more powerful, even in his childish state. "Kill you? Forsake you? Banish you? Why would I ever do that to someone who has given me my brother back? Why would I ever do that to someone who was brave enough to bring me back to this world to save it, even if it could mean their death?" Lilith looked shocked and awed as he spoke to her in such a gentle voice. "No, Lilith, I will not harm you. I have long since done away with my unfair treatment of you. You are my brother's wife, and it's about time you were recognized as much."
Lilith looked at Naruto with a confused expression. "W-what?" she asked.
Before the demoness could even blink, the Child of Prophecy's arms were wrapped around her, and she hadn't felt so terrified in all her life. But then... he spoke.
"Thank you, sister." Those were three words that Lilith never thought she'd ever hear from his mouth. He…
He accepted her.
"I have seen the foolishness of independence, both for humanity and myself. I now know that humanity cannot live alone. They are beings that secretly crave order, and when there is no one to enforce that order, they birth chaos. This, however, is not my way." He let his embrace of Lilith go, taking a step back to give her space, which let Neji step beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist. "You said it yourself. I am a being of peace, and even though I wish to subjugate them all, I can't disregard what I think is right, and neither can my brother." It was the absolute truth. Neji believed that Lilith was no longer a sinner. He loved her just as much as Naruto loved his own wife. And he believed that she did not deserve to die by his hand, so much so that Neji would have taken his own brother on in a fight to the last breath. They would have destroyed half the country, but that's how powerful Hamura's love was for his wife. In life and death, forever and always was not something the Otsutsuki twins took lightly. They kept their word, always, as was their code. ""A necessary evil", that is what you said… I am afraid that you can't be any more right than that very statement. This world is corrupt, evil, and I need to surround myself with those who can bathe in such evil and never lose the ability to see the light. I need people like you, Lilith." Naruto looked to his little dragon, causing Fugaku to stare at his son in a new fascination. "People like that boy." He said, gesturing to Itachi. "So what will you do, Lilith? Will you aid me and my brother in our quest to change this world in whatever way we possibly can? Will you stay by my brother's side like you swore all those years ago? Will you be my adviser when it comes to "necessary evils"?"
Lilith swallowed, hard. She was still shocked at being accepted as actual family by the one person she feared more than the serpent himself. The Otsutsuki name was only ever whispered in her birth realm, stories of a wrathful goddess with long, white hair who had literally torn apart the veil that kept the realities separate slaughtering angels and demons alike until God cast her back into her own realm. The fables she had heard were along the lines of:
Beauty incarnate, the white rabbit appeared,
Smooth face twisted in rage, even the serpent feared,
Evil set foot in Her domain,
Her first creation cometh to slay,
Creator forced to intervene,
Creator forced to scream,
No one shall set foot in our domain,
Her threat was given in the wake of those slain,
With a single thought, and a smile that whispered murderous intent,
Through the tear in reality, the Rabbit Goddess went.
To meet that monster's children had terrified her, and even though she had come to love one of them, she had been scared of Hagoromo's wrath even after his death. There was no doubt in Lilith's mind that the Rikudo Sennin was even more powerful than his mother, and the fact that the Rabbit Goddess had faced the Father of everything in her realm and lived to tell the tale only added to her fear of the woman's son.
But now, right in front of her, that very terrifying person was asking for her help. She, a demon, a sinful, demonic being of lust and chaos was being asked to help a being of order and peace to help him save the world… It was a little overwhelming, but she pulled herself together enough to give her answer.
"I have wanted to fix this ugly world for centuries, brother…" calling him "brother" was something that felt strange, but not unpleasant. "Whatever it is you need of me, merely ask, and I will do everything in my power to assist you," she found her husband's hand, squeezing it in her own, "Both of you. I don't want to be alone again…" Her last words were said is a hushed whisper, and it caused Neji's heart to ache once more.
"I will never ask you to do such a thing again, Lilith. We are a family, all the family we've got at the moment… I won't lose any of you to time or anything else ever again, this I promise you." His eyes held such determination that Lilith would be deeply shocked if anything could prove him wrong.
Neji nodded at his brother. He'd fight Kami herself before he allowed his wife to feel alone like she did again, and the same went for his brother. Neji would fight alongside him with the confidence he once had, now that his wife was once again at his side. It was strange, how the woman you love can make you feel invincible…
Or was that just him?
Author's Note's: How was the bit about Kaguya? I don't know if I'm any good at poetry, so let me know what you thing, please.
Like I said before, this entire chapter was really just the introduction of Lilith in the present and their conversation. I didn't really want to add anything else to this chapter after their talk, so I just cut it off. From this point on, though, I'm focusing on the present more. Less flashbacks (although they will appear here and there), and more plot. I have enough main characters and a good enough background for the brothers to start. Canon won't start for quite some time yet, but a lot of fun and badass stuff will happen before that as well. I think I've kept them hidden for long enough, so shit is about to get real.
Please review. A review is like a hot girl, and I'm Thirsty! … That was a lot weirder than I intended it to be…
Question: Does anyone play PS4? I recently got one, but I only can play Destiny right now since that's the only game I've got. PM me your PSN's if you would like to play with me.
Fact: When I was little (during my sickness) my windpipe kept collapsing, so I've had like four surgeries on it. During one of them, the doctors accidently cut one of my vocal chords. Because of that, I talk in a whisper. My voice is unique, and you can recognize it anywhere once you've heard it once. Because of this, my family and friends call me Whispers. It's a nickname I've had for around five or six years now.
