For my tenth chapter, I would like to thank i flame SUCKY stories for being my FIRST review (c'mon people, do you hate me?) and being eternally sweet about my anthology I work so hard on.
This chapter is a sequel to the previous on Wings1, and will be dubbed Wings2.
Dur.
I do not own Naruto.
Towns: comfort, neighbors, laughter, friends, stores.
Houses: all, imposing, empty, cold, excluding.
Home: warm, comforting, , just for me.
A new town, a new identity. My name was the only thing I remembered, but I kept my last name hidden, my hair I dyed, my personality became nonexistent. I stayed away from the people this time; though this time they tried to reach me.
Sasuke had erased my memory, so I didn't know about him, I didn't know about the Akatsuki. I didn't know that they still had Ino. I thought she was safe and sound in the little cottage by the stream.
Sasuke wiping my mind had done me more bad than good. They found me again in a few months, and I was carried away screaming like a banshee. I blasted their members with bolts of fire, and escaped with glee through the pandemonium.
Before the Akatsuki started plotting to wipe out my sisters and I once more, Ino and I had lived together in a warm little village where we were wise women, midwives, and seers. I knew all herbs for healing and Ino could tell you your future (she always had a knack for future relationships). We would defend the weak and bless their children and houses. Then a little boy was murdered. Because we were different, because the village was now filled with fear, our house was burned and we were run out of our village.
Fire: burning, heat, pain, runrunrun—
Woods: trees, duck, run, justkeeprunning—
Freedom: fresh air, fresh air, blue sky—
We escaped.

Another new town, a new hope for peace. We made friends right off, and told them of our powers. Instead of shunning us, they welcomed us and we spent the next few days healing the sick and ailing.
We birthed four babies in three months, and helped four more women that they were indeed pregnant.
We brought fertility to that valley; the crop yield was huge for such a small village.
We also brought the presence of Sasuke. He showed up wounded at our door, claiming a wild animal had attacked him. I had healed him using normal methods, not daring to use my Magic in front a stranger.
We became lovers, and we loved and our lives were full of passion that I can't write on this paper for it puts too much sorrow in my heart. God I miss him.
He had kept secrets from me. He was of the secret brotherhood, of the Akatsuki. The Men of the Magic. The Brotherhood. He was supposed to be my enemy, and my lover? He also lead his Brothers right to us. They kept me away from Ino. I was tortured to reveal secrets about the magic. I refused.
Lovers: wild, passion, joy, love—
Betrayal: heartache, pain, hurt, whywhywhy—
Hate: violence, anger, diediedie—
A long time agao, centuries ago, the Akatsuki and my Sisterhood had been one. The Circle represented us because like true love, we had no beginning and no end. We were lovers of and with the Magic.
They became envious of our ability to hold on to our Magic for all of our lifetimes. The truth is that they became greedy, using their Magic for power and control. The balance in their lives had been lost, so their power died.
They slaughtered us out of jealousy.
The Circle was broken.
