Chapter 18 this isn't her Konoha part four.

Two weeks pass.

Naruto verse.

Minato sat at his desk slaving away at the dally onslaught of paperwork. He tried his best to keep his thoughts off of Rachel and often filled miserably at it. But he was getting behind on the upkeep of the village as Hokage that was not a good thing. He berated himself for not pushing down his emotions, but he would admit were Rachel was concerned that was hard to do.

Janiya had found no word on her even Chloe could not locate her and that concerned him greatly.

Still. He refused to believes she was dead. Even after two weeks.

He looked up when the door to his office opened and Tsunade entered.

The honey eyed woman looked just as worn as he did.

She dumped a file on his desk. "Those need signing so I can get to work on vaccinating people. this flue is spreading fast."

He scanned it before he signed it and handed it back to the Sannin.

She put it in her bag "Now that you have signed it I'll give you a shot. Take off your coat." She ordered.

He sighed but did as instructed he rolled up his sleeve the Medic give him the shot.

"I'll head to the academy and vaccinate the kids. Then I'll send out times for the shinobi to come in."

He nodded she was Konoha's best medic and knew she could handle this.

He tilted his head when she didn't leave had he missed something?

"Is there something else?" he asked.

He clicked he tongue "Kakashi is worried about you."

He shuffled some papers "He needn't be."

"Minato when did you last sleep?"

He glanced up "That's not your concern!"

"It is if it's compromising your Hokage duty's!" she snapped hands on hips.

When he ignored her, she sighed "the village needs you to be fit Minato, what if she comes back more broken"

He stood slamming his hands on his desk "She won't, she's strong!" he bit out.

"I never said she wasn't!" she hissed back leaning on the desk their faces were centimeters apart "she needs you to be together not run down, sleep deprived." Small smile tugged at her lips "her bad hobbits are rubbing off on you, don't make me Sadat you!" her voice was filled with amusement.

Minato blinked then chuckled then a full out laughed. The Sannin joining in, his shoulders shook he had a hand over her belly, the Sannin bent over clutching her stomach. It took them both a few minutes to get themselves under control.

"All right Tsunade I'll rest up,"

She nodded her approval.

"That goes for you too ya know"

She smiled "I know" she picked up her bag waved leaving Minato alone once more alone.

He had needed that. The tension had been released and he felt lighter. Still worried. He turned in his chair and gazed out of the window Rachel please come back to me.

Naruko verse

Rachel as he now knew her, was sat in the Hokage office, the last few weeks had really taken a toll on her. He was concerned that she hasn't slept since he took her in to his care. She assures him that she is fine, but he can feel how exhausted her chakra is. Her arm was still in a cast, her golden blond hair was louse framing her face. Her sea-green eyes glanced uncertainty around the room. He thought for a moment that she had detected the Genjutsu he was using to hide Jex. The man was in the Nara Shiaku's shadow hold. If she wanted nothing to do with him at least the man would hear it from her moth

"Why so nervous?" he asked.

"Well can you blame me? Every time I've been in here it's for more questioning…. I've been open and told you all I can."

Minato hummed and gave her an apologetic look. Sometimes his curiosity gets the better of him, the idea of anther world just like his with a few changes can exist is fascinating.

"Well as much as enjoy talking to you about that, that's not why I called you in here.".

She raises her eye brow quizzically at him.

"I wanted to talk to you about…Jex"

She stiffened her breath hitched.

"He wants to talk to you…you don't have to if you do not want to."

There was a long beat of silence "I-I don't think I'm ready for that…I mean I can understand how he must feel but I'm not Chi….I'd feel like an imposter masquerading as his sister."

In the corner he could see Jex's eye protesting to that fact, he could see him because the Genjutsu was for her.

"I think it would do you both good. You both need to grieve." He said gently.

She stayed silent and he could see the hurt and grief in her Sea-green eyes.

"Rachel. to him his sister is dead she died a very long time ago, you inherited her body in another world. I think he needs to say a final good buy one he never got to say."

She bit her lip he felt the pain reminding him of the seal that was on her

"Al-Alright, I'll talk with him" she said softly.

He nodded. "Good, I'll get him to meet you near the small bridge in say an hour?"

She nodded and stood Minato's gaze fell upon her lips for a split second. Heat flooded her face as she noticed.

"W-well I'll be going then" she bowed and left.

Minato sighed dispelling the Genjutsu and turned to Jex.

"You heard her"

The man nodded bowed and puffed away.

"you know with what she's told us so far it has changed things for us"

"I'm well aware Shikaku. It can't hurt to do a little digging can it? If it means the interest of protecting the village."

"if you put it like that, then no!" the Nara said shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Forgive me Lord Hokage but she seemed very nervous around you?"

Minato sighed "I don't think she got over me threatening her," he lied easily. And he knew If Shikaku suspected it was a lie the man would not point it out. "She had a very traumatic past with men." He put in to east the Nara's

"Humm I read the file you gave me it's a wonder she functioning at all"

"Indeed. She assures me she is receiving help in the other world." The Nara hummed.

"Well I'll be going now, unfortunately the work won't do itself." The Nara muttered.

Minato smiled and gestured to the pile of paperwork.

"You're welcome to trade?"

"Not a chance."

With that the Nara left his office leaving him alone with his thought's witch drifted to Rachel. he thought back to the other day when he had kissed her, not just any kiss at that he used chakra, on a civilian, A shinobi seduction technique, he hadn't done that since ….he can't remember when his last seduction mission had been, and he hated every single one of those missions, she was helpless as he remembered the small whimper that left her lips and his cock hardened, he frowned he was in love with Kushina why was he so attracted to Rachel?

She had pushed him away and he had let her it wasn't right he knew that, he berated himself not only was he betraying Kushina but he was taking advantage of a vulnerable civilian. Yet all the same he found himself torn between two women.

He had sought out his sensei, who had laughed and laughed and patted him on the back before he could get a coherent sentence out of the man. He had told him that it made sense if the other Minato in the other world was also in love with her. Rachel had told them that Kushina wasn't alive in that world. he didn't think he would ever have been able to move on from Kushina death but with how he feels about Rachel he figured he was wrong about that. With a sigh he forced himself to work, he got through half of the days paper work before he had to go home and take care of something.

He flashed just behind Kushina gently blow on her neck put his arms around her waist "Kushina!" he nuzzled in to her long red locks pressed himself against her. He moved her hair to the side and pressed small kisses to the back of her neck.

"oh…Minato…. again?" she said amusement in her voice.

"Mmmm yea." He was already pulling up the green dress she wore, his hand slipping in to her pants.

Rachel was in a word not in a good way, seeing Jex was…..emotionally overwhelming he was just how she remembered him except a little older and maybe a little wiser. He had made her laugh and cry all at the same time. Truth be told she felt lighter for it,, she suspected he did as well.. he was able to shed some light on her clan background too; Minato had been right they were once a clan but it had died out. She was saddened by that but Jex had said some of the clan's special ability still runs in the family. Like how she was amine to sedatives.

That part of her was chi's not hers she was deeply grateful for it considering how everyone made her sleep.

Still, even though she has seen him, the loss still stings in the other world he's not there.

She felt the tears sting again but pushed them back, she had done enough crying today.

She needed a nap not a long one twenty minutes at most not long enough for the nightmares to start. Her body was used to it.

She did miss the sedative though but didn't quiet trust this world enough to ask for it. This world's Minato had already taken advantage of her once, she won't let that happen again. Though he was apologetic afterwards she even saw guilt in his eyes, it still made her feel as though she couldn't trust him.

She long to go home to her Minato.

She entered the house Kushina insisted that she has her own key and had added her to the seal on the door.

As she entered she hers shuffling about in the kitchen opening the door she found them…..half-dressed close rumpled hair' a mess. She could smell the sex in the air. They both froze.

Rachel realising what they had been doing and that she may have interrupted it…her face heated up she averted her gaze.

"S-Sorry, I'll be upstairs" before ever of them could reply she shut the door and stomped up the stairs. Her chest ached she figured it was because she was embarrassed at what she very nearly saw.

They had every right to do that…they were a couple after all.

Rachel felt dirty for some reason. She sat on the bed pulled at her band around her wrist, she wanted to hurt, to not think about what they had been doing. But Minato would know he was connected to her by the seal.

With one last twang of her band, she let her hand drop she rubbed at her tiered eyes tried to push her thoughts out of her head.

She laid down on the bed placing a pillow next to her and resting the potted arm, she would be glad when that came off.

She drifted off in to a light sleep or at least she tried to, she hears footsteps in the hall outside and a gentle tap on the door, "Come in" she calls sitting up.

"Oh, were you about to sleep? I can come back…"

"No, no it's fine" she said to Kushina.

The red head waited for a moment before fully entering into the room.

"You, err sounded off when you came in…..did….are….urrg Minato so much better at this ya'know!"

Rachel couldn't help but smile, then that twinge of guilt would flutter back in wiping the smile from her face, her Minato should have this. Should have Kushina!

"Stop that please" Kushina said voice soft,

Rachel blinked "Sorry,"

Kushina sighed and they both sat in silence for some time.

"Well, I've never been one to skirt around a subject, so I'm just going to say it. Did we make you feel uncomfortable? You sounded far to disgusted for my liking."

"No, no, look your allowed to…to. Do that. Your marred and in love, it's fine."

"Really cause you don't sound fine, you sound…. disgusted and revolted."

Rachel subconsciously moved her hand in front of her privets.

"Well I'm not….I mean I am, but not at you two"

"Oh…..you feel that away about yourself"

It wasn't a question it was statement.

Rachel looked away the topic was one she avoided having.

"You told us how you died. You skipped a lot of growing up with Jex did it happen again?"

Rachel face blanched she felt sick, hot tears sprang to her eyes, but she held them back.

"I-I got Chi's body tainted, she was pour innocent, then." A sob escaped her. "Seeing Jex today made if feel worse, because he doesn't know that I-I, he'd be so mad I took the innocence from his sisters' body…" Rachel could no longer hold back the tears Kushina hugged her and allowed her to cry.

"I'm dirty tainted, I'm disgusted by-by sex," she sobbed "I'll never-never have a normal life. It's why-why I won't love. I-I can't."

Kushina let her talk she didn't agree with any of it but she needed it out. She comforted the woman.

"Shh it's ok, shh tell me, Rachel, did you feel the same way when my husband kissed you?"

"W-what?" Rachel stuttered out, pulling away from her, eyes red and puffy.

"Minato told me" she said, "We don't keep secrets from each other, he confessed to what he had done."

"An-and you're not mad?"

"Mad at him a little, mad at you, no."

Kushina could see the confusion in her pretty sea-green eyes.

"It made sense if I wasn't there that he would fall in love with you. And now that you are here my Minato is attracted to you."

"I'm, sorry, so, so, sorry."

"Shh don't be, I'm happy he was able to find someone."

"But-but it's not right…..I'm…I'm the one who got you killed."

"Oh, sweety is that how you see it? If that Kushina is anything like me I'd have done the same thing."

"It's still wrong!"

Kushina wondered if Rachel could ever see that she was the right person for Minato.

"You didn't tell me how did if feel when Minato kissed you?" she asked again looking at her softly.

Rachel wiped her tears and touched her lips.

"I don't know." She frowned, "It felt" she scrunched her face up "Good"

"Your face says otherwise?"

"I've never felt anything like it." She said "What did he do?"

"He used a chakra seduction technique on you, though he shouldn't have done you're a civilian."

"Chakra seduction?"

"You felt pleasure, right? right the way down to your toes?"

Rachel nodded.

"It's to lure Kunoichi to entice them and in some cases torture them with nothing but pleasure." She said "But on a civilian it's an overload of their senses and can become very addictive if used incorrectly."

"Then why did he?"

"Because you have experienced nothing but pain Ya'know, he wanted to make you feel good and let you know that you can have pleasure with a kiss"

"He still had not right to!"

"He knows that and believe me he feels really bad about it."

Rachel was silent for a moment.

"How-how can you just forgive him like that?"

"We as a couple have an open relationship if he want's to sleep with someone else he can, though he usually asks first. As Shinobi our life span is short and we don't want to live with regrets ya'know, like what if I had done this? Or maybe I should have done that? Life is far to short. But not all shinobi roll that way when some pick a partner it's just them for the rest of their lives. We chose this path, and it keeps things hot in the bedroom" Kushina smiled Rachel's face flushed.

"You really can't handle sex talk, can you?"

Rachel blushed even more. Kushina burst out laughing, drawing her in for one last hug. "ya'know I'm here if you want to talk."

"I know and thank you."

"I'll let you sleep, you need it." Kushina stood ruffled her hair before leaving.

She closed the bedroom door and found her husband waiting for her, he took her by the hand and led her down the hall to their room.

"I heard…..Kushina I acted without thinking and now she doesn't trust me, us?"

"What do you expect Minato you took advantage off her!" She folded her arms across her chest and coked her hip out.

"I know, and I hate myself for it, I didn't expect to be attracted to her, " he ran his hand through his blond locks "Is the damage I've done irreversible?" he asked his wife.

Kushina sighed "No, at least I don't think so, she confused about how she feels, if anything you may have helped the other you, she doesn't trust you but she does the other Minato. she didn't say it but I'm pretty sure that's how she feels."

Minato sighed, "I'll limit contact, you can take over, I don't want to do any more harm,"

"Just get her home Minato, that's all she wants." Kushina said sliding her arms around him and hugging him, he returned it.

"I've been searching for the masked man there's no sign of him, and if I can't find him then there may be no chance of her going home." He said solemnly,

"I know, but that news might just break her" Kushina said.

"I won't give up, I'll find her a way home." Minato said he meant it he had hurt her and he felt terrible the least he could do was find her away home.

Rachel had napped a bit, but she had too many thoughts going through her head to sleep. she told Kushina she was going for a walk, the redhead looked at her worriedly but let her go anyway.

Rachel wondered if she had Anbu guards here, she properly did since she was an outsider.

She enjoyed the feel of the sun on her face, she wondered if she would ever be able to go home.

She headed for the woods she planned to visit Inoichi in her head. Mediating would help her do that.

She had kept to her word and not visits Naruto again knowing Minato would know.

She turned a corner in the path and bumped in to someone hard she fell backwards landed on her rear end.

"Oh, jeez sorry about that, are you ok lady?"

Rachel's hart stopped fear flooded her veins. She looked up to Obito.

She whimpered he frowned. "I know I'm kinda scary looking but…" he didn't get chance to finish as she swiped at his legs, he jumped out of the way and she rolled over on to her feet and sprinted away.

"Hey wait?"

She knew he was running after her she ducked under low branches jumped over logs and hidden roots. She looked back and missed a tree root caught her foot. She tumbled down and attempted to twist herself around he caught her she let blind panic set in.

Why isn't Naruto helping. She frantically thought, maybe he can't Minato did lock him in.

She tried to scratch his eye out, he caught her hand whilst his other held her around the waist.

"Hey, what is your deal lady?"

She tried to push him away she registered a dull pain in her left ankle but was too panicked to pay it any attention.

He suddenly looked up to acknowledge someone else.

"Sense?" he let go of her, she scrambled behind Minato and grabbed on to him.

"Obito, go I'll take care of this," Obito looked confused "I'll explain later" he said his student glanced at her one last time before he turned and jumped up into the trees.

Minato turned pursed his lips, she looked terrified he could guess why but he wanted to hear her say it, to conform his suspicions.

"Let's get you to my office and we can talk." He said as he took a hold of her arm, the filched didn't go unnoticed. When he landed, she was unsteady for a few moments, he seated her on the sofa, and went to his desk pulled out his first aid kit.

He knelt down in front of her, so much for limiting contact he thought.

He glanced up to still seeing the terrified look in her sea-green eyes.

"I'm going to wrap your ankle now" he said. as he gently took the swollen appendage in his hand, he felt her do it which was why he flashed there, his Anbu hadn't reacted because Obito wasn't a threat and was properly confused as to why she sees him as one.

He wrapped it put the first aid kit away, he stood in front of her.

"Obito is the masked man, isn't he?"

There was a long silence she looked up in to his eyes "Y-yes"

Minato sighed, he had a lot of questions but he didn't want to push her away, just seeing Obito has terrified her.

He had some tea brought in let her sit for a while to calm down and process things.

He was sat at his desk when he noticed she had sat up right holding her stomach. She looked at him "He wants to talk to me?"

Minato thought for a moment the man was a threat there was no question about that, but she trusted him.

"He-he said you can come" she offered.

He stood from his desk and nodded. She handed the tea over to him and laid down on the sofa Minato knelt down on the floor she hesitantly lifted up her top. A deep blush coated her cheeks.

He placed his hand on her stomach she filched violently under his touch, he paid it no mind, first he checked the security seals were still in place to make sure the man could not get out.

Pulsing chakra he allowed the seal the pull them in.

The room was dark save for the red flame that flickered beside the man who was sat on the floor.

Rachel stood next to him and she walked over and took a seat, Minato was the last to do so.

"Rachel, you know it's not him, right?" Naruto said "He's different here"

Rachel nodded "Yea, I got that after I tried to scratch his eyes out." She said sarcastically.

Naruto chuckled and looked to Minato "Your seal is good taking longer than I thought it would."

Minato glared but remind silent. His eyes told of his displeasure.

"Naruto, I didn't see the end, you know that but from the stuff I read you saw Obito at his end" she glanced at Minato he saw the guilt in her eyes.

"Yea, he had a change of heart all thanks to well me"

"So, It might be possible that this world Obito would never be like mine ours?"

"it's possible" he said looking to Minato "Tell me is his team mate Nora Rin still alive?"

"Yes, she's Tsunade apprentice"

"Then that's' the difference between this world and yours" Naruto said.

Rachel was silent.

"What exactly has he done?" Minato asked.

"I'm not sure I should tell you" Rachel said "Here you trust him and the minute you have doubt in him, it may turn him away from the village."

"Tell him" Naruto said "We could use this Obito's help to get you home."

So, she did she told him everything she knew how it was him who released the Nine tails killing him and in Naruto original time line him as well

How Madara had manipulated him used him as a puppet. Naruto told him the rest.

To say he was both saddened and angered Obito had ripped his child of both Parent's.

Rachel in her time line had saved him but only him.

He couldn't believe Obito would want to destroy Konoha if Rin had died, he wounded if it would be the same for this worlds Obito?

Perhaps he should put him through a phyc exam? And determent if he is a future threat to his village.

He hated to think the worst of the man Minato has always believed in Obito, right from the start he saw the potential he had hidden within him.

"Obito not a bad person" Naruto said "He just couldn't see past his pain and loss, if things have been different like if you were still around, I'm sure he wouldn't fall victim to been manipulated."

Minato nodded. He was already making plans to ensure that didn't happen.

"I'll send you back now." he said. and in the blink of an eye they were back in his office.

He removed his hand from her stomach and stood heading over to the window to gaze out at his beloved village.

"Bring me Obito," he said. he felt his Anbu leave when he turned Rachel was sat looking worriedly at him.

"He needs to know,"

Rachel nodded hesitantly.

She wasn't sure of how she felt about telling him, she knew Minato was conflicted about him. He was his student after all.

"Um, Minato?"

"Yes?"

"H-How do you feel about Obito knowing what he has done?"

He was silent for some time regarding her.

"You haven't told your world's me, have you?"

She shook her head indicting no.

"Why?"

"Because he will want to go after him to attempt to bring him home or kill him, and I know he wouldn't survive."

Minato's moth twitched.

"You understate him and me." he said "It's true that I'm angry that one of my own students could do that, but as his sensei it's my job to stop him, if that means killing him so be it, but withholding who he is put's me at a disadvantage I would want to know everything so I could find a way to bring him home. Not knowing leaves, me open to make a mistake."

Rachel took all that in.

"How mad are you thought?"

"Mad but not at you" he said coming to stand in front of her "I don't think the other me wouldn't be mad at you ever."

"Rachel looked down "it's my fault though I had a chance to stop him before Madara took him." She clenched her fist in anger "if I had both you and Kushina would be alive!"

Minato knelt down in front of her.

"Rachel, look at me" he said gently she did, though this Minato was a little different from hers, he seemed to understand her just the same.

"The future is not set in stone, by coming here you had a glance of what if world. I'm sure you have changed thing's enough that a fourth war won't happen, you need to stop expecting the same outcome as your show. And start seeing a world you want."

Her sea-green eyes widened

"A world I want"

"Yes, a world you want." He said gently "Fight with everything you have for what you want" he said with conviction.

She smiled at him, his hart did a flutter, he realised he had robbed his other self of this but it was worth it. To see her smile.

She wasn't his. Kushina was his, he could live with just seeing her smile, he hoped deep down that one day she would see that his other self, loved her too.

He stood not wanting his feeling to ruin this moment he had already taken advantage of her; he had no intention of letting that happen again. Besides Obito was here.

The Uchiha knocked on the door once before opening.

"Sensei I'm here what did-" he stooped upon seeing Rachel sat on the sofa.

"Come in Obito" Minato said. the Uchiha glanced at Rachel again before closing the door behind him.

Rachel took the time to really see him. He was tall his black hair an unruly mess, he had scares on his face from been crushed by the bolder all those years ago. He had on the Konoha headband that stretched down over his eye.

He was a Jonin looking at the flak jacket he wore.

Rachel smiled, here he wasn't the monster, here he was just Obito.

Obito flushed under her gaze, but remind still.

"This is Rachel, technically she's Jex's sister."

"What!?" he gasped Minato held up a hand to silence him.

"I said technically. She from and alternate universe to this one."

Rachel saw the bewildered look on the man's face and chuckled.

"He means I'm from a world like this one except for some differences."

Obito jaw dropped he stared at his sensei then at Rachel then back to Minato.

"I need to sit down" he muttered flopping into the visitors chair.

Minato motioned for her to come over, she hobbled over and he guided her in to his large Hokage chair, It was very comfortable.

Well it should be he spends most of his days sitting in it. She mused.

"Obito, I want you to listen very carefully to Rachel, don't interrupt until she is finished. Do you understand?"

"Yea, something tells me I'm not going to like this."

"Your right you're not," she said looking at him, "But I think you can help me get back home."

Obito made himself comfortable and Rachel begun to tell him all of the things he had done in the alternate world.

An. I took a little brake from this story, so glad I did, I have come back with fresh eyes. Chapter 19 is finished, (I think) but it's not the end of this alternate universe stuff, though it is one of the longest chapters written, oh, what did you think about THAT world's Minato kissing her?

I've decided that this year is all about been positive, despite there been bad news this year already. (On my partner side) again!

Oh, and if I get this out today, today this the day the UK leave the EU. History in the making.

And the virus thing is now in the UK, trying to not let my Anxiety send me into fits of worry, there's nothing I can do about it. If it happens it happens.
