So my area got hit pretty bad by the storm last night... a Mix of a Tornado AND a Hurricane hit us so yea... we took some damage along with all our roads being flooded and trashed with things... We still aren't allowed out either until 8PM which sucks... though I'm pretty much used to being trapped in my house but during that storm all the bugs took shelter in peoples houses... -_- xD I found 4 Crickets in my room and was like WTF?

"You can tell can't you?" she asked, eyes staring at me. I sighed, joining her in leaning over the edge. "Your name is Akuma… that means Devil. I can't seem to grasp the meaning of the story that you just told me… but you mentioned devil…"
She nodded, leaning back as she pulled out two kunais. "This is Tenshi no Yami… and this is Akuma no Yami." She said. "They have interesting names." I said, staring at her. "Yeah…. Interesting traits too. That aside though…"
"The story…" she nodded. "Our world is in conflict of pure hatred and constant revenge… there is wars going on and has been for so long." She placed the two kunais back where she got them. "The light that they prayed for was this thing called peace. Instead darkness, or in other words the pain and suffering and even death, falls through the days constantly. It prevents the peace from ever showing up."
She rested her arms on the railing of the bridge, staring into the water. "People constantly pray for peace to come… for a short time there was peace in the world though. Even though it brought peace to that spot, there was still someone suffering…. The battle between light and dark? Peace and hatred…" she crossed her arms then rested her head on them, eyes never leaving the water.
"This… is the confusing part… Angels and devils? Tenshi and Akuma…" I stared at her then recalled the names of the two kunai. "So the story isn't only about how the world strives towards peace but is constantly found by hatred… but yet it is also about your two relics?" she nodded.
"More or less… yes. That makes it a little easier for me… I guess I can be blunt for the ending of that. When you take Tenshi no Yami and Akuma no Yami…."
"What…." I nodded to Sasuke. "You found that out on your own though too, didn't you?" I watched his eyes soften as he nodded. "I was just hoping… that it wasn't the same as I thought it would be… why would Sandaime do that to her though?"
I shook my head "He isn't planning to harm Akuma in any way… he knows I won't stand for that… but he does intend to get rid of the blades." Sasuke stared at me before going through his pouch. "…That's the Akuma no Yami…" I said as Sasuke held the Kunai for me to see. "Do you know anything about this Kunai? Did she say anything about it?"
I sighed "She has never told me what it can do but… she would always say she isn't going to kill whenever someone suggested for her to use that kunai." I watched Sasuke's face scrunch up in disgust. "That is all she ever said to me… 'I wasn't going to kill Gaara' was what she said the first time I asked her…"
I sighed "Sasuke… maybe the qualification for Akuma no Yami is the opposite of Tenshi no Yami? That is how I decided to take it… after all… There will always be darkness where there is light." I looked off to the direction that Akuma ran.
"I think you should go get her now… If I go to get her she'll think that the Hokage sent me. I'm going to head to the village and try to help around there. Ja"
Sasuke's POV
I stared at the kunai in my hand. Darkness…. I frowned, remembering Akuma's dark chakra and the damage it caused. I placed the kunai in my pouch then bolted off in the direction that Akuma ran in.
It didn't take long for me to reach Akuma. She looked up at me as I stared down at her from the branch. I froze when I realized that I was unable to move. I looked down at my feet and noticed what seemed to be like tails restricting me.
I narrowed my eyes at Akuma. "I'm not here under any form of orders." I stared into her eyes and frowned. I willed myself to pull out the Akuma no Yami, tossing it down in front of her. "Akuma release me."
"Akuma is asleep." I blinked then narrowed my eyes. "What do you want Kyuubi?"
"The reason why you have been fading in chakra… has been because of the Akuma no Yami… and Akuma."
"What?"
"From what I can tell… Kakashi told you some things about Akuma. However… being inside Akuma, I know more about Akuma. The Akuma no Yami feeds off chakra that is full of darkness..."
I glared at Kyuubi "That doesn't explain why it was feeding off me."
"You still had chakra in you… Orochimaru's… The reason why Tsunade was unable to tell what item was draining your chakra… was because Akuma no Yami wasn't on you. Akuma had found it in your room and took it back to her room."
So that explains why the source has been unknown but… "How did it get on me in the first place? That and you said Akuma also was the cause of my Chakra fading…"
She nodded "Akuma has fast regenerating chakra, not just because of me… but because of that kunai. If you remember Kisame… his sword can replenish Kisame's chakra with someone else's."
"Kyuubi… if you know about the Akuma no Yami and Tenshi no Yami why did you let Akuma find it and get it?" I watched her sigh, releasing me from her tails. "I didn't realize the story was relevant to the kunai… I found out when she told Kakashi that one day…"
I jumped down and stood next to her. "So… I guess that means we are protecting Akuma from quite a lot of things now."
"Madara… Danzo… Kisame… Orochimaru… Kabuto… With Konoha in its state of emergency; it will be harder to protect Akuma." I raised my brow "How so?"
"Because… with Tsunade down… Danzo will try to become the Hokage in her place. Danzo has ties with many people… Akuma informed me of one of his ties in which… as long as Itachi is alive… he can't do anything."
"Itachi didn't inform me of anything… why is Akuma keeping things from me?" she shook her head, placing the kunai in the pouch.
"She said she would leave everything to Itachi… that it is his job to tell you the truth." I growled getting ready to yell. "However…" I stopped.
"Itachi can't speak… While the Akatsuki is keeping watch on all the members." I frowned. "Akuma…" she stared up at me "Tell me the truth… the truth of everything related to you. I am an Uchiha… and yet I know very little on what you are and who you are…. You are constantly changing… All I know now is that you can use the sharingan with the blood of an Uchiha… that you can get ears and maybe a tail if Kyuubi pulls you into her cage."
"…" I watched as she turned her gaze away from me, staring off in the one direction. "Deactivate your sharingan… and I will speak." I stared at her confused until I realized I had indeed activated my sharingan during my anger.
Akuma's POV
"That's better…" I said as I debated on what to tell Sasuke. "Hm… before I went after you from Orochimaru… I gave Tsunade a scroll that would open up when it was time but…" I stared over towards the remains of Konoha. "All that was lost… I was only able to recover the scrolls that I hid stuff in."
I glanced over to Sasuke "You were already informed that my seal for Kyuubi was weakening right…?" he nodded, crossing his arms. "I was entrusted the Kyuubi's seal… and I plan to fix it however…"
"However…?" he said, urging me to continue. "It can be dangerous… even though Kyuubi is on speaking terms with me… she is still a dark little bitch."
"I heard that you fucking brat." I smirked as Kyuubi went over my faults. "How dangerous?"
"It can get dangerous enough that she will try to take over my body… I heard of one of the Bijuu that was able to gain control over his beast…"
"So you are going to seek him out then it looks like… now what does this have to do with you telling me about yourself." I gripped onto one of my tails "You wanted me to tell you about me… that is related to me so… I told you that however… I am not the one who would be able to tell you about me."
He stared at me; I could tell he was confused. I tapped my forehead "Sasuke… operation black is still latched to my brain… it is still holding a lot of my memories… I found that out during that one mission we had when wiping out some of the Akatsuki."
I released my tail as I stared at the ground "When I thought I would be brought to Kyuubi's cage, I wasn't. I was brought to a different seal that was inside me."
"So the reason for all the books in the compound being out of place was because you were trying to figure out what the seal was?" I nodded
"Bingo. When I was about to give up, Kakashi came to visit me. He saw my sketch of the seal and told me that it was the seal used for Operation black."
"Can you tell me then… what you do know?"
"I can tell you I'm the key for the Uchiha clan… I can tell you why the clan was murdered, who ordered it, all that stuff. I can tell you what the kunais are meant to do, and I can tell you their uses."
"Tell me about the Akuma no Yami." I nodded, pulling the kunai out. "In order to use this weapon you need darkness… I have dark chakra… you've had the experience with it. This kunai is only used when I want to kill… because it uses my dark chakra. It attacks just like Tenshi no Yami… but with dark chakra instead. However… at the same time I say it uses dark chakra it doesn't use chakra at all…"
"Have you ever used that kunai in battle?" I held the kunai, staring at it. "Once… and it was the last time I ever thought of pulling it out."
"So… Akuma no Yami is the blade of death and Tenshi no Yami is the blade of life…" I nodded to Sasuke "Basically yes… how did you know?" he sighed, pushing his hands into his pockets "Because in between life and death there is pain." I smiled.
"And there is love too." I stated, gaining Sasuke's attention instantly.
"Sasuke-kun! Akuma!" I looked over to see Sakura jumping down to where we were. "I've been trying to find you two! Akuma what are you doing out of your bed!" I quickly dodged the powered punch that was aimed for me.
"I'm all healed though Sakura-chan!" I said smiling at her. She glared at me then looked over to Sasuke. "Ah Sasuke-kun… We never get to hang out together… I was wondering."
"Sakura, the village is in a state of emergency, there is nothing left in the village, my Akuma is in danger and there is conflict going on around the village. There is no time for this 'catching up' bullshit." I watched Sasuke storm off into the debris of the village.
"Akuma…" I glanced over to Sakura "I know Sakura-chan… I know. That's why the blade of darkness clung to him…" she nodded to me then stared at me with worried eyes. "I'm going to take care of it… after all… everything that has happened up until now was because of me."
"Akuma…" I nodded to her "Don't die please…" I looked away "That is one promise that I can't keep. Sakura... at any cost… prevent any and all ninjas from coming near Tenshi no Yami."
"…Right. I'll be at the hospital treating the wounded… I assume you are going back into the debris to get the rest of the documents?" I nodded "Yeah… Kakashi-nii-chan came to me a bit after I escaped the hospital… told me that my small mission was to recover the documents for baa-chan." I glanced over my shoulder "If there is anything you need recovered, I will be willing to hunt for it."
She shook her head "This charm is all I need… Good luck." She turned around then began walking away. I glanced towards the village and sighed.
Sasuke's POV
I growled as I stormed through the debris of the village. I was finally learning some things on Akuma then that bitch had to come...
I kicked one of the debris in frustration then noticed a scroll under it. I grabbed it and stared at it. "-… I gave Tsunade a scroll that would open up when it was time but… All that was lost… I was only able to recover the scrolls that I hid stuff in."
I grabbed the edge of the scroll then opened it and began reading.
Under orders of the Leaf village; Uchiha Itachi killed his clan to prevent the war that they had planned to start against Konoha. It was seen through by Itachi, though failed when he failed to kill off one Uchiha. However; if either living Uchiha attacks Konoha, then it will be seen fit to kill off their guardian.
Under agreement to spare his brother's life and the guardians, Itachi complied and took the entire mission on. He will be considered a missing ninja due to the arrangement he made. Under an agreement, we have agreed that we will not kill him due to his wish of dying by his brother's hands.
If their guardian does anything to any of the council who stands before this document, it will be seen fit to be executed at once.
Signatures of those who have agreed to everything above.
Sarutobi Hiruzen
Shimura Danzo
Mitokado Homura
Utatane Koharu
Uchiha Itachi
N. U. N. A
I rolled up the scroll and tucked it into my pouch. Was Akuma really worth that much… that much to where the entire clan had to be killed for her to live? I frowned.
"If there is anyone you should hate… it should not be your brother… but me."
I glanced down to see more scrolls piled up under the rock. Going through them; I noticed each were a report about the clan and their plan to do a coup d'état.
I heard footsteps from behind me and turned around.
-AN-
So last night I was rudely awoken by stuff hitting my window... well I looked at my phone to check the time and noticed several emails... I was asked to update this story well... I was like... o_o... Hm I guess I shoulda Put my note/warning thing up somewhere other than my profile...
Well I would like to state that this time a lot has been happening which is why the stories were put on hold again: Our yard got flooded a few weeks ago so we were trying to fix it, then an Earthquake hit us and a lot of my stuff broke and I have been trying to clean everything up from that mess... Then when `Tachi and me went to visit some relatives to have lunch, the car caught fire while we were in it... Then this stupid Hurricane bs came to our ears so we had to try and move things in the yard because we do have dangerous things in the yard that could do dmg...
In the end we got hit by Tornados and the Hurricane, we our still under the whole ": U THOU SHALL NOT DRIVE" thing so pretty much... its hectic lol
I'm hungry but... canned food can only do so muchD:!
