Alright so it's Tuesday... so like promised... the next HSF chapter. On a side note... to everyone that got email spam I'm sorry... I didn't even try to upload the chapters as many times as the email spam came through to me. Just suddenly I had massive spam on uploaded chapters and it had several repeats towards all these chapters and I was like "Alright... I only uploaded HSF once but I got 4 emails... loaded NHS once... got 5 emails... loaded NUA changed some of the stuff in the ANs... but I didn't reupload it... yet I got 10 emails for that one." So I'm pretty annoyed at that... just suddenly I got spammed with all these emails from other sites too. So I'm sorry if people got the email spam like I did!

"Why did you say 5 days for my files if it won't take that long?" I glanced to my side. "Because we have files for Kushina and Minato right here too."

I sighed, looking at the page in front of me. "Your birth certificate wasn't fully filled out."

"What do you mean?" she asked, peering over my shoulder. "Alright we read your birth certificate… we get to your parent's names and bam… all that is there is a U.K and a N.M in other words… just a quick abbreviation towards your parents names."

"Didn't you say that Tsunade mentioned something that happened when I was born?" I quickly looked over to Akuma.

"It was the one where Hiruzen told Akuma that she had parents… that died for her to live." Tsunade sighed then looked away. "That is a memory she may not fully remember. She wasn't too old when it happened."

I stared at Tsunade confused. So this wasn't what caused Akuma her trauma? "How old was she when her parents died then?" I asked. She looked over to me, frowning. "Not that old at all… she was kidnapped from the hospital, sending her parents into a mad hunt before they died protecting her. I can't say I know what happened; only Hiruzen knew. He was there for a lot of what had happened that night."

"That's right… because when they were filling out the birth certificate…" I trailed off then shook my head. "The initials though… I think I know who your parents are… only because of Itachi and his ranting." I reached over towards Akuma's pile of books then grabbed one of the ones on Minato.

I opened it up and skimmed through it. "This is only confirming my suspicion…" she stared at me confused. "The reason why I wanted information on Kushina and Minato was because those two were apparently friends of my parents. Those are the people in the picture… so many times have you said that Tsunade said you get it from your mom… Kushina has red hair that is very long… and Minato has blonde hair that is short and spiky. Kushina was pregnant in the one picture… which Itachi mentioned that I was born before Kushina's child, only by a few months. That I teased that child too about it… the only person I've teased that even was relatively close to my family was you."

"U.K…. Uzumaki Kushina… N.M…. Namikaze Minato…" she said, quickly gaining my attention. "Where did you learn those names?" she looked away. "Tsunade took me to a graveyard when I was younger… we first visited those graves… then we had gone to another pair of graves… which put me into a comatose state…"

I quickly turned Akuma towards me. "Look Akuma!" her eyes went wide. "You are remember things!" I smiled at her, throwing her off guard. "Tsunade told me about that… she said you lost your memories each time it was something dark but…"

"The memory is faint… but those names have always been on my mind… because my last name is Uzumaki… I always wondered 'If Tsunade said I had two last names, what is my other? Why does this Kushina woman share my last name? Are we related?' but I pushed it all aside when I was told I had no family and never did… it was what the hospitals told me so I took that to heart."

"Akuma…" I watched as the sadness filled her eyes as she looked down, gripping lightly on the book in her hand. "I want to know though…. Why… just why does this village hate me? I've wanted to know for all these years… what could I have done… it never came across my mind though…" I watched as her eyes watered up. "That maybe… maybe my parents meant so much to this village… they died protecting me… their own child… then with the birth certificate not having my parents full names down… the possibility that… me being their child was never known… so they blamed me… blamed me for the loss of two great people, with no purpose behind the loss…"

"The purpose was to protect the youth of this generation." I said, trying to help her. "No… because… several years later… more people died for me… I was called 'The Guardian of Death' because… everyone who watched over me died… I couldn't handle the thought of anymore dying because of me… so I took care of myself inside these dorms."

'So that's why…' I paused then stared at Akuma. "Wait… Akuma…? Are you…" she sighed, looking away. "A voice in my mind never left me… reminding me every waking moment that I may cause another death… to never be close to anyone. The words… how could I forget such words…"

"Akuma… if you remembered something, then why didn't you tell Tsunade… or even me?" I watched her shoulders begin to slump. "The screams…" I scrunched up my brows in confusion. "Screams?"

"The screams of people… it keeps coming to me when I sleep… if… if Tsunade knew… and told me everything… would she leave out things? Would she tell the truth? Would I be me anymore?" I frowned. "Akuma… you will always be you."

I grabbed Akuma's chair and forced her to face me, leaning my arms on each side of her as I stared hard into her tear stricken eyes. "Akuma… just a few months ago, I was a man who didn't know how to express his feelings. I hurt you when all I wanted was for you to stay close to me. Every year near your birthday I always let up my harassment because I thought maybe you needed a break for a bit every year. Then after everything that happened… your injuries… Itachi coming back, Sakura being Sakura… out of my own being I thought 'I want to protect her' I don't feel like I was dragged into it. I told myself… that even through everything I have done to you… you forgave me. You made me apart of your world. You even let me be your world. These months without fighting like school girls… they were the greatest times."

"I… I don't get what you are trying to say…" she whispered. "Akuma look at us… we are together… did you change? No you were still Uzumaki Akuma, the air head space cadet that loves to dance and sing. You never changed; we still have our little quarrels that make people think we are truly fighting when it is just our little thing. Listen… when people get married, their last name can change… but have they changed? Not always. You will always be Uzumaki Naruto Akuma, my little ramen loving fox. And these scars…" I lightly ran my fingers along her cheek. "These are what shout out who you are."

I felt a grip on the back of my hair, making me look at Akuma as her tears finally fell. "Then…" her grip on my hair got stronger. "This duck butt will always shout out who you are." I smiled as she leaned up and kissed my lips softly.

"Yes… I will always be that stick in the ass ice princess as you once called me." I licked her cheek, taking her tears from her face. "But no matter what names we are called… they are only merely labels… we are who we are. I am a bastard who loves a bitch."

"This bitch doesn't like your tone." She said, laughing softly. "Well… she better get used to it." I wrapped my arms around her, as she did the same to me. "Akuma don't forget… you can always stop remembering… it's your choice on what you hear… and on what you think." She nodded into my chest.
