Aka Yuki
"What are you doing Chiharu? Setsuko and Aka Yuki. Human blood in a body harvesting a merged soul, giving the child the ageless knowledge of the demons. That was the way it was to be. Now you come here and try to kill her before her time to use the ageless knowledge? Explain yourself." Aka Yuki demanded through Setsuko.
"What are talking about?! You could have lived with me in the forest! Instead you go off to die? And now this filth comes here saying you cursed it! It doesn't even understand the meaning of Ninjou Shuujuku! You except me to let this thing go on living?! I will not let that thing live on Ninjou Shuujuku!" Setsuko closed her eyes.
"Leave now, and never do such a thing again."
"Aka Yuki No Yoka! I raised you! How dare you speak like that to a god!" Setsuko glared at her.
"How dare you go against the earth! Leave now before you face the wrath of the Uindo Bensha!" She hissed. Chiharu glared at her daughter for a moment before leaving. Setsuko closed her eyes once more and sighed. 'There is not enough residue energy of myself left in this merged soul to take control again. But . . . I already knew this would happen. Now, to make sure that the Uindo Bensha is Setsuko.' "Mekuramado, gaitou kashi, gaitou kokushibyou, shukketsushi ore yobidashi otaku, mai kyuumei Aka Yuki No Youkai, ore yobidashi otaku.

Setsuko opened her eyes. The sun was rising. She sat up and put a hand on her forehead to try and soothe the pounding against her skull. The rain had stopped and now the forest seemed refreshed and alive. Setsuko looked around her to find a few of the trees destroyed and blood everywhere. She felt something sticky on her forehead. Setsuko pulled her hand away to see cold blood on it. Then the memories of the previous night washed over. Kakashi turning his back on her, the cloud-nin, the blood battle with the wolf god. But . . . shouldn't she be dead? The wolf god was out for her blood and Setsuko had been disabled, allowing Chiharu the chance to finish her off. Why was she still here? Setsuko glanced back down at her clothing. She was bloody. She'd have to get home soon and shower. Setsuko stood up and glanced around before disappearing in a blur. She hadn't notice that she wasn't alone in the forest. A shadow had appeared just a moment after had attacked with the silver ball of charka and watched over her all night. It had almost jumped into the fight but Aka Yuki appeared before that happened. The shadow dropped down onto the ground to reveal Kakashi. In his hand he held her two hair sticks.
"Hmm . . . thought she would have looked for these."
--------------------
Setsuko stood in the shower, staring at the wall with the hot water beating into her skin. She raised a bloody hand and pressed it against the wall. Blood ran down it as Setsuko closed her eyes. The water was stinging as it washed away the dirt and blood from her wounds. Setsuko opened her eyes and glared at the wall.
"Argh!" Setsuko yelled as she punched the wall. She punched it several times, destroying the tile before she stopped. The blood from her newly cut knuckles was washed away. Setsuko pushed back her hair and sank to the ground. She pulled her knees up to her and wrapped one arm around them. She pressed her free hand against the wall in front of her. She stayed like that for over an hour. The water had turned freezing but she didn't care. She didn't notice. She didn't hear a knock on the door. She didn't hear it open or her name being called.

Naruto used a towel to pat off extra water on his cousin's hair. He got her blow dryer, plugged it and dried her hair with it. He had found her in the shower totally out of it and close to catching her death from cold. The water had been freezing but she hadn't noticed it. ((Now, just to make sure none of you get the wrong idea, they are family! Keep your minds out of the gutters! All I can say to that is EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)) Naruto turned off the hair dryer and looked at his cousin. Over the small amount of time she had moved in they had bought a few pieces of clothes and other things for her. She wore a soft and warm gray pajamas. The pajamas were alittle to big for her and she would occasionally tip on the extra bit of fabric of the pants. The button up pajama top was too big and the sleeves were pass her hands. He smiled at her as he took her hand and led her to her room.
"Come on, Setsuko-chan! You need your rest." Setsuko stared at him with sad and empty eyes as he opened the door to her room and stopped next to her bed. He started to pull back the sheets when Setsuko hugged him from behind, surprising him.
"Naruto-kun . . . why do you have the dream of becoming Hokage?" She whispered. Naruto blinked a few times before answering.
"To be recognized for something more than the Nine-tails. Don't you have some big dream?" Silence followed his question. Setsuko hid her face in his hair.
"What . . . what is my impossible dream?" She asked out loud, trying to make reason to herself. "It is something that a demon such as myself will never have. A stain upon humanity shall never fulfill a dream such as mine." She whispered softly. Naruto's eyes saddened as he reached up and grabbed hold of Setsuko's hand.
"Setsuko-chan . . . you're human. You aren't a stain. Why do you say such things?" Setsuko pulled him closer to her.
"I have accepted what I am. I have to in order to survive in this world. I can never look human nor can I be human."
"But you're just like me. You are human." Setsuko smiled sadly.
"But there will always be one thing that only humans can do. That is something I yearn for more than life itself." She released Naruto. She moved over and got into her bed and pulled the covers over her. ". . . and I fear . . . there is only one person . . . who can fulfill this dream. But . . . that will never happen." Setsuko mumbled before she drifted off to sleep. Naruto stared at his cousin before brushing away some hair in her face.
"Setsuko-chan . . . who . . . is this person? What happened to you?" Naruto tried to walk away but Setsuko held his arm tightly. Naruto started down at her. After a moment he sighed and crawled under the covers with her, drifting off to sleep in a matter of minutes. He was pulled close to the woman whom he considered a sister and the two cousins slept, finding a small amount of comfort in the knowledge that they were not alone.

Okay, there was a paragraph in here that is in Japanese. It was a pain in the butt to write! I used a translator that didn't have some words I wanted so I had find other words. It took me over an hour to translate and write it all. So there might be some mistakes. Hopefully, not big ones. If you find one, please send it to me along with the words around it so I don't have to retranslate the paragraph. I do have the translation next to it but I do not want to have to figure out which words are which so I can fix the translation. If you find one I'll give you call out! If you have read my other fics you would know I have not done that other than one time! Also, a special surprise! Thanks a bunch and enjoy! Ja Ne!
