Short chapter but I didn't want to add the next passage in yet. This is important none the less.

Chapter 21

"Crap," cursed the boy. "I can't see a thing. Didn't you say there were torches or something?" Sasuke walked with his hands on her shoulders, sort of using her as a human shield as they walked forward. Getting into the compound was a lot easier than they thought it would be. They practically waltzed in!

When they got to the tunnel however, the lights that were there before were now gone. Too bad for them. Miyu grunted as she smashed into the wall. "Ow! Let go of me," she complained. Unfortunately, all the boy did was back up and change his direction, still holding her in front of him. "Sasuke, wall!" she half shouted before crashing again.

"Oops." She glared back at him before realizing that it was futile in the pitch black. "I thought you said that this was a straight tunnel."

"I said it was straight forward, not straight," she retorted, very irritated. Her hands grabbed his and ripped them off of her shoulders before she slammed him into the wall. All he did was chuckle as it obviously wasn't very hard. "Walk along the wall."

It was silent as they went along, the stone wall cold beneath their hands. It was unusual to have such a silence between the two, especially after she realized how childish the Uchiha could be. It was so different to how he used to be, cold and brooding.

It was almost too much to bear. "So..." the girl whispered, waiting for some sort of reply. There was none but she was sure that he was still there as his footsteps still sounded. "What else is new?"

The question again went unanswered. A slight suspicion began to build in her chest, knowing that Sasuke would usually answer her right away. It was silent for a minute. "Nothing, really..." came a deep voice. A small sigh of relief escaped her lips. Okay, it's definitely him. "Just thinking..."

"About?" Miyu pressed on.

He was silent for a moment. "About why you were bringing me here."

"Well... why not?"

"It's just..." his voice faulted for a moment. It made the girl worry. The next words were barely audible, "you could have brought Kiyoshi."

Again, silence took over the two. A frown appeared on her lips, her eyebrows furrowing. The two stopped walking where they were, standing somewhere alone in the dark under the Fukui compound. "What?" Her question was slightly cold, definitely angry. Ever since she had gotten together with the other boy, all Sasuke ever told her was 'you should go hang out with Kiyoshi' or 'I don't think that Kiyoshi would like that'.

It was really starting to get on her nerves.

"Nothing," he sighed and started walking again. She reached her hands out and grabbed his wrist, forcing him to stop but he shook her off. She didn't follow him. Instead, she rested her back against the wall and slid down.

"Miyu?" he questioned, his footsteps coming closer.

"What?" she replied, still irritated.

His steps stopped only a foot away. "Aren't you coming or did I come here for no reason?" Her violet eyes rolled but she didn't reply. After a few moments, the boy scoffed. "Fine, I guess I'll go home then. You can get Kiyoshi here to explore."

"What is wrong with you!" she hissed, her eyes narrowing at nothing. "Why is it always 'Kiyoshi this or Kiyoshi that?" She stood to 'face' him (she can't see).

The Uchiha growled in response. "Why the hell do you think?"

"Well, I don't know! All I know is that it's annoying and you need to stop! You're being a jerk..." The last part was said quietly but Miyu knew that he had heard her anyway.

He growled again in frustration before seizing her arms and dragging her into him. Their lips crashed together harshly. The black haired girl squeaked in surprised and tried to pull away but the other refused to let her. It was different from the last time he kissed her. Very different. His tongue forced its way into her mouth, making her try harder to pull away. Sasuke growled again, biting her tongue. She squeaked in pain.

He turned his attention away from her mouth and onto her neck, kissing down her jawline. His hands held onto her back, pressing her against him. All struggles stopped when he found that one spot that sent a whirl wind of pleasure through her. She threw her head back to give him more access, making him smirk into his kiss.

She pushed him away before drawing him back in to kiss his lips again. This time, she let him in willingly. He fell back onto the opposite wall, still holding her up as she pushed into him harder. His hand moved from her back to her stomach, slowly trailing up her shirt. She pulled away when he grabbed her chest.

"Ah! Don't do that!" she scolded, pushing his hands away.

"Why not?" His voice sounded whiny, in a way. Hands gripped her waist and brought her closer, her body up against his. "Where do you want me to touch?" he whispered into her ear, making her shiver. He flipped her around so her back was against the wall...

Which suddenly disappeared. The two fell into another room, lit by candles. They landed one on top of the other, making Sasuke smirk. "Sasuke, no! Look where we are!" she scolded lightly, trying to push him off. He made a whine of protest before kissing her neck again. "Sasuke... Sasuke, not right now!"

The boy exhaled sharply, getting up off of the poor girl. She stood, still a little shaky from their 'kiss'. It was going to take a long time to get used to something like that. She turned her head to see the wall had reappeared behind them as the other ran his hand along it, checking to make sure that it was a solid. While he tried to figure that out, the girl turned herself forward.

The room was small and round, dimly lit. On the ground was a stone pathway, leading up to the back of the room where there stood a shrine. The steps leading up to it were engraved with the Fukui symbol as well as above a small stool with a scroll on it. At sight of the scroll, all other details were lost and a curiosity was born within the eyes of the Angel.

Something willed her to move forward, to take the scroll, to read it. Miyu quickly gave in to the force, slowly walking up the steps to the mass of candles. It was extravagantly decorated with the word "Housenka" on it, she noticed as she got closer. Her quivering hand reached forward and touched the parchment, flinching slightly upon contact.

Finally gaining the courage, she picked it up off the pedastal. Nothing happened. The girl kneeled on the floor and layed it out on the ground without opening it. Who knows what could be inside?She looked up to see Sasuke still tapping at the wall, trying to find an exit.

"Hey..." she called. "Come here." He turned to her before going and standing over her. Miyu looked up at him. "Down here." His onyx eyes rolled as he sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her waist. Her heart thumped hard in her chest as his hot breath touched her neck.

"Housenka?" he asked. "That's the name of one of the Uchiha techniques..."

"Maybe this shows the original..."

The scroll unrolled delicately to reveal the neat hand written message on the inside. It was long, and seemed to be... A story?

Let this be known to every one of you cursed beings. Let every generation hear my story. Do not fail me or you will be lead to your doom!

- Housenka

Many years ago, there was a very small and weak clan. They were known as the Fukui clan of Konoha, born from the hopes of two young farmers. Those in the clan that did farm were not very prosperous, which drove many to become ninja. Mediocre they were but still, these people strived on in the name of their clan and for their families.

One day, a mysterious woman appeared to a member of the clan, a young man. She was old and dying and asked if she could be buried within the compounds, having no other family. Even though it was not allowed, the man agreed to let her.

Seven days later, as the woman was lying on her death bed in the man's house, she beckoned him. "Good things will come to you," she told him. Then she died, the man keeping his promise.

Soon after, another woman came before him, but this time, she was young and very beautiful. She told him that her grandmother had been the old lady who had came to him, looking for peace. When he asked how she knew, the woman explained that her grandmother was a goddess who had came from the heavens above to prove that the human race still held kindness.

She then asked if she could live in the compound. The man, awed by her beauty and grace, agreed once more.

The woman, Housenka, was also a goddess that had come to the earth. However, the people of the clan were told of the consequences of this act. The deity would now be mortal, susceptable to illness, age, and even death. Sickness would have difficulty and age would come slow. Because of this, the clan decided that they would do anything they could to protect this being, even if it costs them their lives.

The gods smiled upon them. Soon, the farms began to prosper and the ninja grew more intelligent and strong. The clan soon began to grow, with Housenka watching over them. The young man, Joji, had grown to become the leader of the Fukui and the woman stayed by his side, though they did not marry.

Housenka was the treasure of the clan and became the reason they became so famous. None dared to oppose the clan with the gods on their side. Though there were a few men who tried to have their way with the virgin goddess. Joji would let no man touch her, not even himself.

He too, struggled with inner demons in order to keep her pure. Over the years, the man had grown to love the woman, having her presence almost constant, even in his travels.

One day, the leader had been invited to a great feast with their ally, the Uchiha. After the festivities, he returned to his room, intoxicated with alcohol and laughter. Housenka, who had not had any drink, continued to explore the compound.

It was then that she met Masato, a young Uchiha, who had come back from a ninja mission he had just completed. The two became friends and talked until retreating to their seperate rooms. In the morning, Joji thanked the leader of the clan and departed back to his compound.

However, the two friends continued to communicate, staying in secret for reasons unknown. It was not long before Housenka and Masato found themselves infatuated with each other. The Fukui leader noticed that the goddess had been growing distant and did many things to try to please her but none seemed to have effect so he asked her what she wanted from him.

"I want to take a short trip," was her reply. The man agreed and let her go on her own, without asking where she was heading.

Masato was the only one who knew. The two had gone not too far away from Konoha to a small inn where they could see each other in person. There, the goddess had given the man a token of her love: her virginity.

Over the next year, the couple continued to see each other, hiding their relationship from the world. Unfortunately, the leader had grown suspicious and followed the maiden one night only to find Masato making love to her.

The jealous Joji stormed back to his compound, declaring war against the Uchiha. He believed that he was being deceived by them and wanted to conquer them before they got to Fukui.

The battle waged on, disrupting all peace within the village. When Masato heard of the war, the two headed back to their clans, only to find them waiting. The man was taken captive by the enemy and held in the compound. A crowd of Fukui people watched as their leader told them of his crime against them: the rape of Housenka.

The goddess watched from afar, unable to reach her lover in time before they executed him. Outraged, her powers were unleashed, her sorrow reaching every heart in the two warring clans. She demanded attention from them all, caressing the body of her fallen Masato.

"You fiends! All that be in this wretched fight, know this shall not go unpunished. I curse you and all generations that are born from this hell! There is but one way to save your pitiful selves and that is the union of the clans! Until then, suffer! Suffer for what you did to this poor poor soul!

My angels will be watching..."
