Chapter 14!! I hope you like it!Sorry about the cliffhanger in chapter 13.


Never to Late

A few minutes passed since Amaya had "died" in Seline's arms. Her pleading had woke the others from the darkness they were in.

"Amaya!?"Sakura yelled as she ran over to Seline's side."What happened?" Seline looked up at her pink haired friend as the tears still rolled down her face she shook her head. "Sakura can you do anything for her"she choked.

Sakura nealded down onto her knee and checked for a pulse there was nothing. She was gone, or at least that's what Sakura and Seline believed. Kiyoko stept forward. "I do not belong here so I will bring her back"She stated.

Everyone looked at her confused as to what she had just said."But that's not possible!She's dead!"Sakura yelled.Kiyoko laughed then replied "She's not dead.Not yet her spirit still lingers here for it cannot leave just yet.She may look and feel as if she is dead but she's still here and I'm going to bring her back. Besides it's not her time she still has some unfinished buisness to take care of"

Kiyoko took Amaya from Seline's arms and placed her on the ground a few feet away from the others.She began a lot of hand signs as fast as she could and soon the whole area was filled with a bluish light.It seemed like everyone ws in an Aurora of blue and purple.


She was almost there only a few more feet untill she reached her family's arms. Her mom was crying and holding her arms out to her and soon Amaya was within the woman's embrace."Mom"She choked as she closed her eyes and embraced the warmth, but it was soon over.

"Amaya you cannot stay here with us"Her dad said. Amaya's eyes shot open and her mom let her go."But why"She asked.

"It's not you're time this is only one part of your journey"her mom replied as she smiled. Kiyoko appeared beside Amaya's mom and added "You have to go to your friends now before it's to late."Her parents smiled and her brother came up to her and punched her lightly in her shoulder "Go sis, be free" Amaya was still confused at what was happening and she refused to go."I've only been with you for two minutes. I've missed you"She replied

"And we have missed you also. When it is your time we will still be here waiting for you to come.Amaya go, go back to your friends they need you more than we need you now, but I promise We will wait for you"Her dad explained as he tightly hugged his daughter and then let go.

Amaya nodded then closed her eyes and soon she could feel what was like water swirling around her. It gently placed her onto something then let go.Soon Amaya could here voices calling out her name and she knew she had returned.When she opened her eyes she saw Seline, Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji all standing beside her."Amaya!!"Seline cried out.

"Seline?Please tell me you had a good reason to take me away from my family"She stated as she stod up.Seline only smiled and placed her hand on Amaya's shoulder"Dont make me explain please"Amaya nodded and brushed Seline's had off her shoulder and looked around at her surroundings.

"So what was it like to be Dead!!!"Naruto broke the slience. Amaya gave him an evil smile and replied "Want me to show you?"Naruto froze in fear as he looked into her eyes and knew she was telling the truth."Idiot"Sasuke said snaping Naruto out of his daze."At least I'm not obsesed with killing my own brother!!Avenger boy!!"Naruto shot back.

Sasuke gave Naruto a Say-that-one-more-time-and-i-will-kill-you look.Naruto backed down and walked over to Sakura."Go away Naruto I dont need your annoyances"Sakura stated before Naruto could say a word.

"Seline?"Amaya asked. The silver haired girl looked over to her teammate and answered "Yea"Amaya looked up at the sky and asked "What happened after I...left"Seline knew exactly what Amaya was asking even though she was being blunt about the subject. "We'll nothing much the most of it was Kiyoko performing a jutsu to bring you back"

Seline flashed back to when the jutsu was being performed.

Kiyoko was standing at the source of the aurora like jutsu then something happened. The colors shifted to a darker shade of blue and the purple turned to a red. Then Kiyoko was being surrounded by sparkles of energyand soon she was covered by them.

"What's happening?"Sakura asked. Naruto looked over at Seline and answered "I think she's bringing Amaya back"

Amaya's body began emmiting a light blue chakra and was soon consumed then her body startd to glow like a bright light. Kiyoko looked behind her at the others who were watching in awe even Sasuke and Neji were surprised at what was heppening. Kiyoko lifted a necklace from her neck and pulled it off . She then walked over to Seline and intructed her on what to do. "Seline I need you to give this to Amaya once she has awoken. It has no purpose for me once I've crossed over so I will place it in her care. Rather you will place it in her care."

Seline nodded and Kiyoko opened her hand up and placed the necklace within her grasp and closed the girl's hand tightly."I'll do that for you"Seline replied. Kiyoko smiled and backed away from the group."Goodbye my friends"Kiyoko said loud enough so the whole group could hear her. After she said that her body began to dissapear and change into tiny sparkles of light and soon the aurora like cloud dissapeared with the sparkles. All that was left was Amaya's body ad Kiyoko's spear which turned to stone once th jutsu was finished.

Seline and the others ran to Amaya's side. Her color was coming back and her lips were no longer bluish but the color they once were."Amaya?"Seline called out and she continued to do so until her teammate was awake.

"Hey Sasuke?"Amaya called out. Sasuke turned his head toward the girl."Do you know where the next village is?"Amaya asked once she had gotten his attention. Sasuke replied"Yes but it's another two hundred miles from here. You have to go through some rough terrain to get there also."

'There goes that plan'The girl thought.Seline smiled and stated"Why dont we camp here tonight and start off on the road home tomorrow when everyone's had time to rest" Everyone agreed with Seline's suggestion so they set up camp.

After sunset Seline and Amaya looked through what was left of the once beautiful shrine.Seline had found some of the old scrolls that had amazingly surived the explosion. Amaya had found nothing that could give her the answers she needed about the jutsu Kiyoko had performed to bring her back.

At the camp Sasuke and Naruto had began to cook the fish they had caught at a nearby creek. Neji brougth some firewood from the forest and piled them near where the fire was.Soon everyone was sitting near the fire eating fish and talking.
