The next morning the ninja's had all of their thing packed and were ready to go. They were headed to Dumbledore's office to let him know of their departure, since there was no reason for them to stick around for the remainder of the school year. They asended up the spiral stair case, and knocked on the door.

"Enter" Dumbledore's voice came.

The ninja's entered. Harry, Ron and Harmoine were in Dumbledore's office as well.

"Didn't think you could leave without saying goodbye did you?" Harmoine said moving to hug Sakura "We're going to miss you guys" She hugged Naruto next.

"Thank you for all your help" Harry said

"You're most welcome" Hikari replied putting a hand on Harry's shoulder "Work hard, and stay safe."

Harry smiled "You too."

Harmoine hugged Hikari next, and then went to hug Sasuke, but Hikari stopped her, shaking her head 'no'. Sasuke held out his hand, which Harmoine gladly shook.

Ron said his goodbyes, along with Harry.

Dumbledore cleared his throught "Your presence here this year has been most delightful, I even enjoyed the transference you pulled with Umbridge at the start of the year. Hogwarts thanks you, and wishes you all a safe journey home. Also, you are most welcome to visit anytime."

The ninja's gave their gratitued to Dumbledore and then headed out of the school.

"Hey don't we need another port key or something?" Naruto asked as they made their way out of he school.

Hikari was putting on her hunter mask "No, there is a mirror waiting for us in the dark forest." She took off running into the forest.

Sasuke smirked, putting on his mask he followed Hikari.

"Mirror?" Naruto scratched his head confused. Sakura shrugged, put on her mask and ran after Hikari and Sasuke. "Hey! Wait up!" Naruto yelled fumbling with his mask as he ran after them.

When Naruto caught up with the others they were standing around a rather large mirror.

"Where did that come from?" Naruto asked

"Osiris sent it" Hikari said "It's a gift for us"

"Oooohhh" Naruto said "Wait, who is Osiris?"

Hikari sighed and shook her head "Nevermind" Hikari stepped up to the mirror running her index and middle finger diagnally across it. Ripples ran out where her fingers touched, then the mirror lit up, revealing a image of Konoha. The Uchiha District. "Naruto you first"

Naruto hesitated for a moment then jumped through the mirror. Sakura was next, followed by Sasuke. Hikari was about to enter when she saw the centaur she had met when they had first arrived. She nodded towards him, the centaur returning the gesture. Hikari moved through the mirror. The mirror flashed from existence.

Standing in the Uchiha Compound in front of the large mirror, the group of ninja looked around at the still blood stained walls around them. Hikari turned and tapped the edge of the mirror; it disappeared into a vortex of light.

"Hey how'd you do that?" Naruto exclaimed pointing to where the mirror had stood.

Hikari just shrugged "Come on, we should head to the Hokage tower and report to Tsunade."

Naruto burst into Tsunade's office and yelled "Granny! Did you miss us?"

Hikari, Sakura and Sasuke followed Naruto in, watching for possible projectiles from the Hokage.

Tsunade cringed at the nickname Naruto still insisted on using "I certainly did not miss you. Home come you are back early?'

"We deemed the mission complete" Hikari replied "The threat was eliminated; there was no reason for us to remain there."

"Well done" Tsunade said "I expect full reports on my desk by tomorrow morning."

"As always" Sakura replied.

"Sasuke I would like to speak with you alone for a moment" Tsunade said leaning on folded hands.

"Hey, if you leave it would be nice to have a goodbye this time" Naruto said as he and Sakura left the room.

Hikari lingered for a moment, glancing at Sasuke and then disipated into shadow.

Sasuke too glanced at Hikari before she vanished, remembering their dance two days prior. Sasuke removed his mask and laid it on Tsunade's desk.

"So you do plan to leave." Tsunade said looking at it.

"No" Sasuke replied

Tsunade raised an eyebrow "Really, what made you decide that?"

"Many things" Sasuke replied "but I suppose it won't matter if I am to be put on trial for treson"

"Leave that to me" Tsunade said and handed him the mask back "You'll need this, I'm assigning you as a hunter. You'll be working as a team with Hikari. I know this is not standard, but I think it will work out for the both of you. You two have more in common than you might think."

Sasuke nodded taking the mask back and slipping it into place.

"You'll probably find her on the Hokage monument" Tsunade said returning to her paper work. "That is usually where she heads after a mission."

Sasuke left, but he didn't head for the Hokage monument. He knew Hikari wasn't there. Instead he went to her apartment. He was surprised the door wasn't locked, so he entered with out knocking. Hikari was hanging her mask from the masquarade on the wall. Sasuke took his from his bag and handed it to her. She smiled taking it, she hung it on the wall next to hers. Sasuke took off his snake mask laying it on the table, next to Hikari's hunter mask.

"You want to help me clean up my old apartment tomorrow?" Sasuke asked.

"Why not" Hikari said looking in the cupboards "We should go out to eat today, I have no urge to shop or cook"

"No ramen" Sasuke said

"Who said Naruto was coming?" Hikari looked at Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked, and pulled her into an embrace.

"I'm glad you're staying" Hikari said looking up at Sasuke smiling.

Sasuke just smiled slightly and kissed her lightly.

Together they would continue to walk upon their merged paths, moving forward as one.
