avert 1523 and Crossdresser123

Thank you for following this story!

I should warn you, I plan to make this a bit darker than what I normally write, so if you are not comfortable with that I would not read it. I'll try to put a warning at the beginning of the chapter like my other stories. Topics it may touch: drug use, sex, mental and physical abuse, gore and torture. Not 100% sure yet, my mind usually has a concept but when I start writing it ends up taking weird turns.

"Speaking in Japanese"

"Speaking in English"

"Speaking in Spanish"

'Thoughts'

I don't proofread my chapters! I just dish them out as I write them because I'm lazy so keep in mind it'll probably have a lot of grammar errors.

Any who, on with the story!

Enjoy!

The first to visit her in the hospital had been her family even though she assure them she was fine they were hesitant to even get near her or even touch her in fear that they would hurt her. The next awkward part was lying to them that she didn't remember anything just to avoid their questions and telling them the real truth. Instead she asked how long it's been and what they've been up to.

"You're fucking with me, right?" She blurted out but the serious looks on all their faces told her otherwise "Two and half years? Are you sure?" Azucena subconsouisly brought a hand to her wound with a frown and far away look on her face "It felt longer"

Two and half years...that couldn't be right. She had been gone for five years. She was sure of it, she could feel it in her body. She had counted all 1,883 days she had been there. It was more than five years. Or had she been wrong all along? The quietness in the room made her head snap up to look at her siblings they had looks of horror at her words. She mentally cursed, they knew she had been tortured or at least now assumed it.

Trying to change the subject she faked a gasped and turned to Daniel "Oh no! I missed your graduation! I'm so sorry Dani!"

He stared at her like she had grown a second "That's what you're more worried about?"

"Don't say it like that! Graduation is an important day! It marks the last day of your childhood and the first into adult life where you'll face nothing but obstacles and finding out who you really are before having a mental breakdown" Azucena exclaimed it seemed to bring them to smile.

"You haven't changed at all Azu" Victor shook his head at her with a chuckle.

Keep them distracted, don't say anything stupid. She peered closer to her siblings and noticed the two year change on them, Daniel had a huge grow spurt and was now taller than her even Carolina was taller than her too.

"What the fuck how come I'm the shortest one now?!" Azucena gaped at them and it seem to do the trick. The tension in the room drop as they began to laugh and now that she distracted them, she could take the conversation a different direction.

"What college are you going to? Did you get a job yet? What about you Lina? Why are you guys so quiet? Tell me everything I missed! Gabi when did you find out you were pregnant? How was the wedding? Do you have pictures? Victor what's new with you? Did any of you call Thea?"

"She said she's was on her way" Gabriela told her while letting her see the text message and also showing her pictures of Daniel's graduation and her wedding. She'd missed her sister's wedding.

She really only been missing for 2 1/2 years even when she knew for a fact it have been five. Did time run differently in each world? She would worry about that later, right now she needed to focus on what her siblings were telling her.

Daniel had graduation and got a soccer scholarship to college. He had a girlfriend for almost a year now, he had met her while working the drive thru, she laughed at that. Carolina was now a senior in high school and she was also dating someone from her school and she would get to meet him soon because of Carolina's prom was next month. Gabriela had gotten married and moved out with her new husband, she was also expecting her first kid in less than three months. Seeing her older sister pregnant was a shock but she was quick to congratulate her and made a joke that she was not babysitting. She was going to be an Aunt...weird. Victor broke up with his girlfriend but he stayed living in his apartment, he visited home more often at least that's what Daniel and Carolina said. He was still working but now he was saving to buy his own house. Her father got promoted to manager and the extra money he got from the raise he had been saving to hire a private investigator to find her. Her mother had taken her absence harder than the rest of her family but that was to be expected it was her mother after all. She couldn't imaging having a child and having it taken away from you for two years not knowing if they were alive or dead.

They continued to talk until Thea arrived and Azucena made sure to not reveal anything about herself and only brought up happy memories they had together to affirm them that she was here and she was really alive. She could see it in their eyes, they had given up hope on her and now that she showed up they felt horrible for not looking harder. She'd knew that look, that was the look Jiraiya had given her when he found her beaten to a pulp at the I&T building in Konoha. It was the look Hiruzen's had given her when she was taken by Danzo. She shook her head to rid the thoughts, she didn't want to think about that.

"We'll visit again tomorrow, we'll give you guys some time"

Thea's tall frame came into view she was wearing an oversized hoodie and a pair of blue jeans and black sneakers. Her hair was pulled back lazily meaning she just got out of class.

"You still haven't graduated?" Azucena teased.

"Bitch where the fuck have you been!" Thea crosses the room and hugged her gently unlike her family that was too afraid to even get near her or even touch her.

"Oh you know here and there"

Thea glared at her response and Azucena sighed before looking at her seriously "It a long story, even I'm not sure if it's real or not"

"I have time, visitor hours aren't done until 10pm"

"Honestly dude, I don't want to talk about that yet...I just want to enjoy being back"

"That's fine, I get it, you'll tell me when you're ready. So I have one more class before I graduate you're going to be there right?"

Azucena smiled at her friend "I wouldn't miss it for the world"

"Good because it's next month! Oh! I almost forgot I have a boyfriend now! It's Kevin!" Thea grinned.

"He finally asked you out?" Azu laughed.

"Mmmhmm been going out for almost a year! And they was he ask me out was fucking adorable too! He-"

Azucena listen in to everything Thea that has been going on with her for the past two and half years. That was what she loved about their friendship even after they haven't seen each other in a long time they were good at picking up where they stopped like nothing had changed. Like everything she had been through didn't matter and everything was back to normal and she desperately wanted to believe that. That this was some fucked up nightmare that she had just woken up from but the scars on her body told her it wasn't. Instead she would enjoy this small escape but even as she tried to focus on what Thea was saying her mind couldn't help but think back to what had happened. Did they fail the mission? Was her team okay? Was Haku okay? Or did her interference cause a massive change? What if this caused them to fail the mission-

Azu-

"Azu? You okay?"

"Hmm? Hey you know some Japanese, right?" Azucena asked changing the topic and Thea stared at her bewilder before answering her.

"Some phrases" Thea shrugged unsure "But carry a full conversation? No" Thea shook her head.

"Oh...do you still have all of you're Naruto books?"

"Yes?" Thea raised an eyebrow not really sure where Azucena was going with all this.

"Can you bring them? I want to read them" she really did. She wanted to see if anything changed. She wanted to see if they were okay. She wanted to make sure that they were happy.

"All of them?"

"Yeah, I'm going to be stuck here for another few days, the doctor wants to make sure my shoulder doesn't get infected before releasing me"

"I'll bring them tomorrow then"

That had eased her mind a bit but she was still worried and it nagged at her in the pit of her stomach.

Zabuza stood in the hokage's office hands tied in chakra cuffs with Haku beside him wearing a pair of his own. Kakashi kept one hand on the chakra rope and he looked bored, his genin team had already left the office seeing as they weren't high enough in rank to hear what the Hokage had to say about the turn of events.

"Momochi Zabuza, S-class missing-nin, member of the Seven Swordsmen and Demon of the Hidden Mist" the Hokage said standing up and looked over to the young boy "And you are?"

"Yuki Haku"

"Yuki? I wasn't aware there were any survivors left" The third hummed in interest.

"Yes, I am the last of my clan but if it wasn't for Zabuza-sans taking me in years ago I don't think I would be here today"

"Interesting, my next question is why would a swordsman take pity on a child?"

Zabuza sighed "The truth? I was going to turn him into the perfect weapon, he was to be my successor should anything happened to me but as the years went on Haku did not show an interest in fighting. He only fought to protect me and unfortunately the Kiribukochochi needs someone who is not afraid to slice through an enemy"

"A successor so soon?"

"Don't act so surprise Hokage-sama, missing-nins tends to have bounties on their heads or did you forget" Zabuza chuckled darkly.

"Mind your tone when you speak to our Hokage" Kakashi narrowed his eyes at him and Zabuza smirked.

"Is that why you took Azu?" Hiruzen mused while stroking his beard. The smirk on Zabuza's face dropped and his eyes narrowed but he said nothing.

"Kakashi, why don't you take Haku to the I&T department in the meantime, I need to speak to Momochi-San privately"

"But are you sure you should be left alone-"

"Do you doubt your Hokage's skills?"

"Of course not, forgive me" Kakashi apologize and tugged at the rope to get Haku to follow him.

"Go Haku" Zabuza told the boy while never taking his eyes off the third Hokage even as he stood up to get closer to him.

"Azu has informed me of everything she has gone through in your care, my next question is why should I allow you refuge in my village instead of send your head back to Mist? What purpose do you have here Momochi-San?"

"Purpose? No purpose, Azu is dead and I'm only carrying her wishes, do what you want to me but leave Haku out of it"

"Why carry out her wishes?" Unless...deep down you actually cared for her. Zabuza stared at the old man but he said nothing missing the small smile that grace the Hokage's face as he turned around to stare out into the village. "Well then, my ANBU will excort you to the I&T department where we'll begin the process to incorporate you into our village"

"Just like that?" Zabuza raised a brow.

"Make no mistake Momochi-san the process will be long and force will be allowed if you do not corporate"

Zabuza said nothing as two ANBU shinobi entered the room and each one grabbed one of his biceps and began to led him away.
