Enjoy. i updated early because of you know who's persuasion, and because i didn't want to leave you all hanging. You should thank me with a review. And don't judge the fight scene, they're hard to write. Enjoy.

When I came to, my vision was a bit hazy but it soon came back to normal. It was dark, and I found myself in a new place. I had binds that held me to the wall tightly and there was a sealing alter a good ten feet away. Turning my head I saw that there were markings that matched the altar on the circular thing I was on. I decided I was probably on an altar too.

'Where am I? What's going on?' i wondered.

"So you're finally awake." I looked over to where Tobi was standing, he had a black cloak on with a red cloud and his mask.

'How does it feel to be betrayed again?'

I didn't even here the voice in the back of my head. All I could focus on, was Tobi. I would imagine that he had planned this the entire time since he had picked me up.

I should have seen the signs.

He always asked me about my abilities, if there was another way to seal them, who I was.

Why didn't I see this coming?

'It's called being blinded by your feelings and your wants.'

"I suppose I should have seen this coming, it's always betrayal is in the life of a Shinobi." Tobi slowly walked up to me, and a gloved hand was placed gently on my cheek.

"The life of a Shinobi is hard, and once you start it, you can never get away from it." Tobi mused, moving over to the other altar.

"So you'll be taking my abilities?" I questioned, although I already know the answer. Tobi didn't even answer.

"When you said 'More' were you sincere? Or was that a lie too?" Tobi paused in fiddling around with something that I couldn't see.

"That, was true." he admitted, "However it doesn't matter what I want. What matters is my plan for peace. And I need as much chakra and power as I can get for that plan."

"Peace?" I wondered, "A fools dream. Peace can't be accomplished, where there is love, there is sacrifice, then there is hatred. Hatred cannot be removed; even the most pure person has hatred within them."

"True, which is why I want to cast a Genjutsu, one that wouldn't allow any hatred at all! An infinite one." Tobi replied.

"So you're willing to kill me for power?" I asked.

"Like you said, betrayal is in the life of a Shinobi." Tobi quoted, coming over to me. I watched as he took a knife and sliced a cut into my wrist, just dep enough for blood to come out. However it burned.

"Ah! Stop! It hurts! Shit!" i yelped, staring at the strange knife he held. it looked to be... ancient? And possibly charmed.

"An infinite Genjutsu isn't peace, it isn't reality." I protested a moment later after thinking about what he had said; I was trying to talk him out of this, killing me at least. Then maybe I could stop him. As I spoke I was fiddling with the bindings on my arms since Tobi wasn't looking. If I tried, I could probably slip from them after awhile.

"It would be better than the cursed world we live in." retorted Tobi, still fiddling with something. I stayed silent for a moment.

"It wouldn't be better because we wouldn't be free or real, it would be an illusion of a world we can never have." I decided.

"I can't sway you from your decision, and you can't sway me from mine." Tobi stated. I almost yelled in success as I managed to wiggle my hands free of their confinement. Next I bent over and worked on my legs.

"I suppose not, was this your plan from the beginning?" I questioned as Tobi continued to fiddle with something away from my view.

"My original plan was to recruit you for my organization I am forming, however when I learned of your abilities, I decided that you would be of better help if I had your powers. I had to gain your trust, but because we are both human we both fell under the illusion of what I suppose is called love, or in our case attraction." Tobi answered. I freed my right leg after he said this. I began working on my right one. I really hoped that Tobi wouldn't turn around.

"Don't hate me for this, Akuma; don't add your hatred to this already cursed world. You would be helping the world with your death." Tobi commented.

"Why!? Why is it always my power that does this?! WHY?!" i yelled, the sudden strength my anger gave me gave me the abiility to pull myself free from my binds. I lightly fell to the ground after pulling my right foot out with ease. I began trying to sneak away, when Tobi turned.

"So you got out." he started towards me. I turned and took off into the woods.

I need chakra, I realized as I ran through the woods. Tobi would eventually catch up to me and then I would be caught because I couldn't fight.

I need an even playing field, something that is level, I decided as I continued through the forest. I ran out into a clearing, although if I kept going I would run right off a cliff. I stopped at the cliff and turned around to find Tobi just coming from the woods.

"You can't escape; just resign to your fate." Tobi ordered. I brought my hands together and began focused the little chakra I had to my seal.

"I can't escape, you're right, and the prophecy I was given stated I would die here, but when I die, I am going to take you down with me! Destiny saying so or not! I will not allow you to put a Genjutsu over the world!" I shouted.

"You are in no position to be saying that, Akuma." he ran at me, intent on catch me. However, at that moment, the chakra I had been forcing to my seal broke it. He was thrown back as a large wind blew from me as my chakra flashed around me in visible colored streaks. The plants around me died as their life force was sucked from them into me to bring my chakra reserves up to max. My power ran through my veins and I felt the seal I had put on me to hide my clan markings and scars fade.

"So you had a seal on you the entire time." Tobi deducted as he took in the silver tattoos that were glowing slightly green tinted that covered my entire body. My kimono was ripped now, my stomach showing and the tattoo went around my bellybutton, however one could tell that it was a source of power. The other sources were my palms, both had large tattoos, and there was one on the back of my neck too that would heal me if I was dying.

"No one likes looking at clan markings." I replied, wiping my face as I felt sweat drip down. I suppose now I looked a lot like someone who would enter sage mode, my eyes probably changed from lilac to bright electric blue, or perhaps amber or yellow. I never could tell which color my eyes went to because it would change with my feelings and how much power coursed through me.

"I refuse to die before i know that you are dead, we will both die in the very least." i told him.

"So we're going to fight?" asked Tobi. I nodded.

"I see that I have no choice, I must do this." I replied.

"Then let's begin." And with that, I used the summoning tattoos on my wrists to summon my two swords. Tobi pulled out a pipe and we ran at each other. Each step I took seemed to drain life from the ground.

An audible clang rang out as our weapons clashed and chakra blew out from us creating a large gust of wind that would alert any nearby ninja within the next kilometer that we were here and fighting. And that we had major power.

We jumped back and I began making hand signs as Tobi did. He lifted his mask as he shot fire at me. I replied by shooting water from my mouth. Steam flew up around us and I flew at Tobi under its cover. Because of my chakra he knew I was coming and met my swords with his pipe. The steam was blown away by the wind and chakra once again only this time, we both push. I heard a crack and Tobi's pipe cracked slightly. Seeing this I jumped back and sheathed my swords in the sheaths that summoned on my waist with them.

I ran forward again with lighting crackling from my fist. Tobi held his pipe up as a guard. I smirked as he did this and aimed for the crack. The pipe shattered and my fist went straight for Tobi's face. Boy was I surprised when I flew straight through him. I flew through a few trees before coming to a stop. I turned and gave Tobi a bewildered look. Then, I watched him disappear.

"Space-time Ninjutsu?" I wondered in amazement, my amazement however was soon lost as I was sent flying from a hit to my left side. I flew through a few trees and rolled to a stop. I sighed.

"Damn me for not training in forever." I rolled to the side to avoid another hit and I jumped up, ready for another hit.

I avoided another one and reached for Tobi, only for him to once again be intangible.

"Damn it all!" I shouted as i fell through him. A new pole of his slid through my stomach and I looked down at the bloody tip.

"Eh, this is going to take awhile isn't it?" I pulled off of it and turned around, already flying through hang signs. I went through what felt like hundreds before I disappeared. Tobi looked around before about one hundred clones, which I liked to call living clones, attacked him. My living clones were one of a kind, only I could make them because I was the last Hakujona. Using the energy and chakra I suck from things around me I can create tangible, living things. I can morph them to look how I want and to do what I say. They're much like shadow clones; only they can't poof out of existence.

I watched Tobi fight off the clones; he allowed them to just pass through him and hit themselves. However I noticed that after five minutes, he became tangible again. He could only remain intangible for five minutes. When a good half of my clones were dead I suck their bodies back into the earth to let it regain some of its life. I flew out at Tobi, who had spent another five minutes intangible.

We clashed again and I used chakra to hold my arm against his strength as I began a Jutsu that required one handed hand signs. The pole began to melt and Tobi let go of it. The things around us began to melt.

"Genjutsu?" inquired Tobi.

"No, this is real; this is what I call stage two, controlling the environment around you. Right now, I'm heating the life energy around us, the plants and earth can't handle the heat and are melting. Soon, we'll both melt from the heat!" My clones began to die from the heat and I felt myself begin to sweat. Tobi however, began to suck himself into his Jutsu. I reached for him and was sucked in. We appeared slightly out of my heating Jutsu's range. Tobi hit me and I was thrown back quite a bit, almost to the edge. I stood again though.

"I won't go down, Tobi!" I shouted, running forward with on one sword. Our weapons clashed again, only this time I focused on that.

Tobi was able to stay intangible for five minutes, what else!?

It took him longer to suck himself in than it did me. I should remember that too!

And finally, when he attacks, he has to materialize right? So if I can create more living clones or one to pose as me, then that means I can get to him when he goes to hit 'me'!

With this idea is jumped back and used an earth Jutsu to burrow underground. I quickly made two living clones, one to pose as the clone, one to pose as me, and then I made my way to the trees where I could hide and wait. Tobi materialized to fight my clone and I knew my deductions were correct.

When he finished my clone the fake me came up and went at him with her sword drawn. They locked in combat and I shot out at Tobi. When I got close I loaded my fist with chakra, but not enough to kill unfortunately. I didn't have enough time. Tobi managed to turn and reached out at me, but it was too late. My fist connected with the center of his mask.

A crack could be heard and Tobi flew back, his flame patterned mask cracking even more. Tobi stood after a moment of leaning against the tree before he disappeared. I wasn't prepared when he came at me and smashed me with his broken pipe. I smashed through a tree, my swords dislodged from me and I felt the wind get knocked out of me. When I rose I saw Tobi had taken my swords and now had them gripped in each hand.

"Ah, this isn't fair, I haven't fought in forever." I grumbled, standing. I looked around and looked for a way to kill us both. My suicide Jutsu wasn't ready yet and Tobi was too fast for me to just suck the life from.

Tobi prepared to run at me so I loaded my fists, it was a long shot but I was hoping that I could hit him and throw him off the cliff. No one could survive a fall off a cliff. As we ran at each other I threw my fist forward.

Tobi struck me first, I felt my sword enter the top of my head and slice down the left side of my face, down my neck and down my entire body. I was basically cut in half. However my fist smashed into his mask with the intent to kill. His mask shattered and he went flying off the cliff. I fell to the ground afterwards and the last I saw of Tobi was his scarred face disappearing from view.

I felt the tattoo on the back of my neck open up and I felt my body heal. My internal organs that had been sliced by that final cut healed and my face did. The scar that would be left would be impossible to hide and it would forever mar my body, but I suppose I was lucky I lived.

I would never see out of my left eye again either, that would be impossible because Tobi's sword had sliced right through it. There would probably me a mark on my eye too, I would have to cover it so that I wouldn't scare little children.

I slowly stood after I was finished healing and looked at the cliff.

"...At last... he is dead."

Tobi was dead. He had to be, no one could survive such a thing, no one.

"I suppose it's my fault for not seeing this coming," I sighed and turned away from the cliff and began walking off into the forest, "I think it's time I start fresh with a new name, maybe Tenshi? Yeah Tenshi. And I can put on my other seal so that no one knows who I am. A new beginning. No more abilities. And I'll go to the Hidden Leaf too."

A new beginning. I needed that. I would start over, I would cover half my face with my hair, or maybe wear a cloak, I could put my seal on and never take it off and I would be nothing more than a civilian. I could head to the Leaf, I had the papers that I could summon from a tattoo on my arm. I was ready to start new again.

But I suppose it was my fault that this happened. I could have left. I could have seen the signs. I could have avoided falling in, love would it be? Maybe, I don't really know. But really, it was my fault.

Because I had been dancing with the devil.
