Thank you for following this story!

Also to firemaster101, yes, there is a back story...I'm getting there, just a few more chapters.

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!

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN NARUTO. JUST MY OCs.

The books Thea had let her borrow she had read and finished the first part of the series long before they even released her from the hospital. Zabuza was dead and despite her efforts Haku was too and that had hurt much more than she realized. Naruto seem to be doing well and his teammate Sasuke fell on a dark path. Konoha dark secret came into the light and they weren't as innocent as one might have thought but she wasn't a fool she had experienced it first hand after all. She knew what they were capable of, in fact they weren't that different from her own world's government. They held secrets and only released information that they wanted the public to know. She needed to borrow the second part of Thea's collection she wanted to see if everything worked out because as much as she suffered she had made good friends and family like bonds while she was in that other world and she wanted to make sure they lived a good life.

"Mija you ready to go?" Azucena head snapped to her mother as she grabbed the last of her things and they were ready to leave the hospital.

"Yeah...just lost in thought" the drive home was silent, beginning in a car again felt surreal to her she could feel and see her mother glace at her from the reflection in the window but she paid no mind to it. It was even stranger to be back in her parent's home and sharing a room again with her little sister. She had explored the house again letting her fingers trail over her mothers decorations and family pictures like she was trying to convince herself that this was real.

"If you need anything just call me" Her mother wouldn't stop coming into the room every ten minutes to check on her but she couldn't blame her for that so she just let her be. She knew her mother was worried and she knew shew was also trying to get use to the fact that she was back but she was different. That this wasn't a dream, that she was really back even her little sister stopped doing her homework and started asking her questions until their mother had told Carolina to leave her alone so she could rest. She was sure her whole family knew something was off about her.

"Okay" Azucena said softly her eyes drifting close as the pain killers kicked in. The next time she woke, it was dark outside already and the smell of food was strong in the air.

"Dinner's ready" Their mother shouted from the kitchen.

"Oh shit how long was I sleeping for? What day is it?!" Azu turned to Carolina who jumped at her shouting then she looked at Azu confused.

"What the hell? What are you saying?"

"Lina help me up" Azucena whined with a pout. She had slipped up again and spoke Japanese, she hoped that if she ignored the questions Carolina would forget about it "I want to eat it's been 5 years since I had Ma's food"

"Don't be dramatic it's only been 2 1/5 years" Riiiight.

"Still too long, what she make anyway?"

"Enchiladas Verdes, you're favorite" Carolina answered while giving her a look that said 'did you really think mom wasn't going to make that on the first day you're back home'. Azucena gave her a stupid grin and with her good arm wrapped it around her shoulders. It was slightly awkward since her little sister was taller.

"Come on, I'm starving" Azucena said leaning her to the dining room with a sway to her but Carolina steady her. They each took a sit at the table their mother handed them each a plate with two enchiladas with a side of beans and orange rice. Azucena stared at the food mouth drooling at the site. She had tried to recreate this recipe once in that world but they didn't have the same ingredients so she had to improvise and it hadn't tasted the same. Using her good hand she used her fork to cut a piece to eat and stuck it in her mouth and without any warning she began to cry. It wasn't pretty either, it was the kind that sobbing where boogers run down your nose and you can't stop no matter how much you wipe it away it just keeps coming. Her family didn't know what to do or say so she continued to eat while crying. Everything had hit her all at once the pain in her shoulder, the taste of the food, seeing her family look at her unsure as she cried and ate. She was really home and yet...it felt different.

"It's...really good..." Azucena continued to sob and stuff her face with her mother's delicious food. The rest of dinner she spent distracting them with light conversation, asking questions about relatives and what has been happening since she was gone. It seem to do the trick in easing them a bit but the tension was still there.

Within a week of being cleared to go home she began to feel restless. She was so used to waking up early and doing her training followed by sparring with Zabuza, of course that had changed when she arrived to Konoha and she began to train with Gai or helping out at the academy. It was too quiet here. There was no life in this world, not like over there, where everything seem to be breathing with life...like magic. No, chakra. That's what felt different, the lack of chakra in this world, she couldn't sense anything and it was throwing her off. It was making her paranoid. Before she was able to sense when someone was nearing her and now if she didn't see them and they touched her to get her attention she would freak out. She scared Victor when he tapped her good shoulder to show her something and she had bit his hand in defense. She bit so hard that she broke through his skin. Both of them had been so surprised at what had happened that they didn't even know how to react, they just stared as she open her mouth in horror releasing his hand in the process. Then like vomit she began to apologize repeatedly, running to the kitchen she grabbed him a rag to stop the bleeding. She spent the rest of the day apologizing to him even when he told her not to worry about it. From that point on her family started to get a habit of calling out to her before entering the same room as her. She couldn't blame them, she was dangerous now and she was starting to realize it. She began to do light works outs in the backyard since her mother didn't want her to go back to work until she was fully healed. Sometimes she would go on really long walks just so she wouldn't be a bother to her family, the less time she spent at home the safer they were from her outbursts.

At night the nightmares came and she laid awake until early hours of morning until her body was too exhausted to stay up. Carolina was starting to look at her in a differently, cautious, even going as far as avoiding her and it hurt. It hurt because she knew her sister was becoming afraid of her.

"She doesn't sleep and when she does...I think she has nightmares, sometimes she talks in her sleep but it's in a different language" Carolina whispered to Daniel as she listened from the hallway hidden from their view.

"What does she say?"

"I don't know fool, she just says weird words, I think it might be Vietnamese or something" Carolina said quietly.

"What do you think happened to her?" Daniel whispered back.

"It's Japanese" Azucena corrected walking into the living room taking a seat on the her father's unoccupied recliner "And if you want to talk about me all you have to do is fucking ask" Azucena called out as she finally entered the room. Both younger siblings flinched at her harsh words and at being caught.

"Sorry" they both apologized looking down ashamed.

"Long story short, I went through some shit and I'm not 100% okay up here" Azucena tapped her head to indicated that she did have issues "I'm trying to cope with it but its hard and I'm sorry if I lash out and hurt you guys I don't mean to do it...it's just...I don't have control over it sometimes" straight to the point that should

"Like a defense mechanism?" Daniel supplied.

"Sort of" Azucena said unsure.

"Azu, what happened?" Carolina asked cautiously.

"Bad stuff, stuff I don't want you to know because I don't want you picturing me in that way" she admitted with a far away look and then shook her head to rid herself of the memories "I'll be sleeping on the couch from now on"

"You don't have to do that-" Carolina protested.

"I need to" she corrected herself and stood up "I'm going for a walk" She left before they could protest more.

Days turned to weeks and weeks turned into a month. Azucena's daily routine consisted of waking up, do some light walking the doctor had recommended, eat, try to get some sleep, take another walk, do some chores, shower, eat and try to get some sleep. She had tried to reconnect with her family but it only seem to push them further away. She stared at the tattoo on her arm with hate, she used to live by them and now she just wanted to go back in time and forget everything happened but she couldn't and the only logical thing to do was go back. If only to protect her family because as much she wanted to stay she couldn't and the fucked up parted was she wanted to go back because at least she could pretend she was normal and the shinobi knew what to expect from her and could keep her from harming anyone.

"Azu go to the store with Dani and Lina, your Papa wants to have a barbeque" her mother said handing her some money and a small list of items that she want her to buy and with that the three youngest siblings drove to the nearest liquor store to buy sodas, chips and paper plates.

"Alright Dani you get the chips, Lina get the soda and I'll get the plates" she instructed them and the all split up to get what they needed. Azucena walked through the small aisles until she found what she was looking for and even grabbed some paper cups. Satisfied she went to the cash register where her siblings were already waiting for her.

"Hold this, I'm going to go grab a bag of ice too" She hand over the stuff to then before going back to the freezer section and grabbed a bag of ice.

"Nobody move or I'll shoot"

Azucena froze at the shout she turned to the front and saw Carolina crying and hiding behind Daniel stood in front of her as a shield.

She saw red.

The training Zabuza and Gai had put her through kicked in when she saw her family in danger. She quickly moved towards him.

"I said don't move bitch!" The gun man turned his aim on her. Good, she wanted his attention on her "I said don't move" he shot once in warning, her sister screamed and she side step but the bullet was much faster and still managed to graze her arm. She ignored the pain and continued forward launching at him and using the taijutsu gai had shown her, snaking her arm around his neck and slipping a leg in between his own. A simple twist and he went down fast she stepped on his hand and kicked the gun away. She hears a bone break in his wrist and the man is screaming in pain.

"Not so tough now, are you?" Azucena hissed pressing her foot down harder on his wrist, feeling the bone crunch under her shoe "Maybe I should kill you, one less asshole in this world" she could do it, one good kick to his neck just like Zabuza had taught her and he would be dead.

"Azucena stop! he's down, he can't hurt us anymore" Carolina cried trying to pull Azucena away and snapped her from her rage "Dani help me!"

"Azucena stop!" Daniel and shoved her away from the man. Azucena glared at her brother and he looked afraid of her and it made her face soften. What had she been thinking? This wasn't like that world she would go to prison with a shake of her head she crouched down and undid the man's shoe laces.

"Sorry...I...are you guys okay?" She asked softly using the man's shoe laces to tie up his hands and feet until police got there. Carolina has rushed into her arms and sobbed "It's okay, I'm fine" Azu shushed her but she wasn't she was sure she puled something again in her shoulder but she wasn't about to worry them more.

"You're bleeding!" Carolina sobbed "What if...what if he didn't miss? What if he took you away from us again?"

"It's just a scratch, trust me I've had way worse" she assured them and turned to the cashier "I'm assuming the cops are on their way?"

The cashier could only nodded with his mouth wide open. It was that moment she realized she couldn't stay home anymore she had to figure out a way to go back.

She had to call Thea.

"Oh come on! Please no one else would do it!"

"Run along, I have no patience for kids"

"But you trained Haku!"

"That's different"

"And Azu-nee-chan"

"Also different" Zabuza glared down at the blonde boy in irritation. Ever since he had been placed in probation and allowed to walk freely in the village. Naruto had seem to never leave his side. Haku would just smile, the brat was getting a kick out of all this "Where is your sensei? Shouldn't you be asking him or anyone else?"

"He's too busy training Sasuke" Naruto grumbled with cross of his arms and then frowned "And Azu-nee-chan usually trains me but..." the boy showed to much emotion just like Azu, it was no wonder she was training the twerp.

"Boy, you realize I'm still on probation, I don't have a access to my weapon and my chakra is sealed off for another 11 months"

"You know taijutsu right? Kakashi-sensei says my taijutsu is horrible but won't help me maybe you can and then I can kick the bastards ass!"

He had him there, he could teach Naruto to correct his form while fighting hand to hand. He still needed a successor for kiribirikuro perhaps he would do? The blonde genin flashed him a grin and Zabuza's brow twitched at his cheerfulness. No. He would continue searching.

"What do need train for anyway?"

"Didn't you know? I made it to the finals of the chuunin exams"

"A twerp like you managed to make it to the finals?"

"What's that suppose to mean? Of course I made it to the finals! I'm a skilled shinobi after all! No one can beat me! And if they do then I just have to work twice as hard to get stronger! So will you help me?"

"Meet me here at 0400 hours" Zabuza finally said. He would help the kid out, it's not like he had anything better to do.

"Alright!" Naruto cheered and Zabuza was beginning to regret his decision.
