Prove yourself

Setsuko floated above the strange water with Aka Yuki and Tsunade in front of her.

"You need to sharpen your skills." Tsunade snapped. Setsuko glared at Aka Yuki.

"You need to call off that wind! I am not the Uindo Bensha!"

"Yes you are! That is the gift that I gave you! A human with powers and knowledge of demons! You're clan is so difficult to find because you can hold demons! Countless demons want to take over your bodies in order to walk in the light that you humans take for granted! The wind chose you to be the one!" Setsuko closed her eyes and looked away.

"Naruto is my only concern! I don't give a damn about the wind, that blood technique, or anything else but Naruto!" Aka Yuki glared at Setsuko.

"N-no-not t-true!" Aka Yuki hissed with difficultly. Setsuko's eyes snapped over to the demon as Tsunade disappeared while Aka Yuki spoke the human language with her seductive voice that was laced with venom. The demon fought her way through the pronunciation. "You . . . f-f-f-feel . . . f-f-for . . . . masked one!" Her last bit came out easier then the rest as she began to grasp the language. "You . . . g-ga-gave har-har-heart tu . . . hum!" Aka Yuki took a step towards Setsuko. "H-h-hum-human! Human means much! O-o-only . . . way . . . to l-l-live l-long . . . e-e-enuff . . . w-w-wipth hum . . . u-u-use Uindo Bensha!" Aka Yuki pointed to the water. "Hum-man have b-b-big b-b-bo-boom b-b-because . . . h-h-he care! He g-give har-heart tu you! You tu s-s-shell-fish . . . selfish tu r. . . eel . . . reel . . . tu know it!" The water showed a trap rigged up for Kakashi. It was simple but effective. If Kakashi opened the door, explosive seals under his home would go off. The trap was hidden from sight and nothing was out of place. Someone who knew traps better than anyone in the Konoha had made that trap. Setsuko looked up at Aka Yuki with worry and shock.

"Let me go! I need to save him!" Aka Yuki stared at her as the image of the trap faded away.

"N-not e-enough t-t-time. O-only . . . . w-win-wind can re-reach hum. Wind not sp-sp-speak with hum. O-only you." Aka Yuki closed eyes. "Som-someone . . . wa-wa-want tu br-br-break heart of Uindo Bensha. D-d-d-they wa-want tu hur-hurt you." Setsuko took a step towards Aka Yuki.

"I'm no the Uindo Bensha!" Aka Yuki closed her eyes.

"I-I tr-tr-transferred . . . ti-ti-title tu you. P-power of wind . . . be-be-belongs tu you." Setsuko grabbed Aka Yuki by the shoulders.

"Aka Yuki! I need to save him!" She felt tears threaten to over spill. "I . . . I love him. I won't let him get hurt." Aka Yuki nodded.

". . . I . . . l-l-loved m-m-mother . . . I . . . un-un-understand." Setsuko felt herself slowly start to wake up.

--------------------

She shot up in bed. Setsuko leapt out of bed and began to run. She stepped out of her house when she realized that she didn't know where Kakashi lived. She looked back at the house to realize Naruto wasn't there. She looked in every direction as she tried to figure out which one to take. The wind tickled the skin that her black gi did not cover.

"Which . . . Kakashi . . ." Setsuko felt panic rise inside of her. She needed to find out which way to go.

" . . . . sha. . . . Uindo Bensha . . . come . . . wind will take you . . ." Setsuko felt herself move in the direction that the wind pulled her. The trees moved by in a blur. Setsuko tripped over a root and fell down. She glared up in the direction that she was going.

"Dammit! I'm not fast enough!" Setsuko yelled as she started to run again. The wind howled in her ears as she ran with it. Setsuko felt tears tug at her eyes. She mentally brush that feeling aside. It was impossible. She couldn't cry. Humans cried, not demons. Setsuko ignored her legs screaming in pain to her. She ignored the sharp rocks she stepped on. Several times she almost tripped but she still ran. Her lungs ached and her head buzzed. Her skin had become numb from the beating wind and her eyes were filled with determination. 'Please . . . I need to get there. I love him!' She silently plead to no one and everyone. Setsuko felt her foot slip on mud and she crashed down onto the mud. Setsuko stared in front of her with pain. 'There has to be a way!' Forced herself up the best she could but her muscles only lasted for a few seconds. "Please . . . help me . . ."

". . . . what . . . . . does the Uindo Bensha . . . want . . . .?" Setsuko crawled through the mud slowly as her muscles screamed in agony.

"How . . . . how can I save Kakashi-kun?"

". . . take . . . blood . . . . to him . . ." Setsuko shook her head.

"I won't be able to see him to use it. I can only make it take form once."

". . . . give . . . . eyes of wind . . . . to you . . . wind will carry blood for you . . ." She looked up at the sky.

"Fine, take whatever you want! Just save him!" The wind seemed to change directions and went towards her. The frozen wind burned her eyes as she squeezed them shut. After a moment the wind moved in the direction of Kakashi. Setsuko lifted up her hand and bit down into it as hard as she could.

--------------------

Kakashi shielded his eye slightly from the howling wind. Kakashi stepped up to his door but paused. He had reached into a pocket to get his key but it wasn't there.

"Odd." Kakashi searched his other pocket and pulled out the key. "Why would I put it there?" Kakashi asked out loud as he started to put the key into the door.

--------------------

Setsuko felt her eyes widen as she watched Kakashi through the eyes of the wind. She laid on the ground, forcing her upper body up and ignored the pain. Her hands dug into the mud. The wound she had caused on her hand had slightly healed itself after the wind pulled blood from it.

"K-Kakashi, Kakashi don't open the door!" She plead to him even though she knew he wouldn't hear it. "Don't you dare, Kakashi! Don't you open that door!"

--------------------

Kakashi removed the key and put it back into his pocket. A leaf was flung into his face by the wind. He took a moment to brush it off before glare at the sky. The wind, if possible, seemed to have picked up. Kakashi shook his head, figuring he had best get inside before it got worse. The Jounin reached for the doorknob and grabbed it.

--------------------

"Kakashi! Don't open that door dammit it! Don't!" Setsuko yelled but her voice was silenced by a large explosion. Setsuko laid in the mud, shocked and overwhelmed by what had just happened. "N. . . . no!" She whispered. ". . . . you . . . . you can't do this to me . . . . No!" Setsuko looked down at the ground feeling her tears overflow. "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she stood up. The pain in her body was nothing compared to what her mind was suffering. "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T!" Setsuko ignored the howling wind as she used her new sight to find the one who set the trap. The fire raged over what used to be the home of the Copy Cat Ninja. Her eyes hardened as she squeezed her fist shut, drawing blood. Her soul and mind burn as she narrowed her eyes in search of the one who killed Kakashi. Her body moved on its own, faster than the wind itself, towards the fire that consumed the land. She stopped at the grounds of Kakashi's house. A team of Cloud-nin, ANBU, stood before her. They glared at her as she looked at them with utter hate. "You . . . you did this." She hissed.

"Yeah, now we're gonna destroy ya." One spat out. Setsuko felt her soul burn even more.

"Then you will die in the debt you owe me for Kakashi-kun." She snarled. Her chakra was like a black hole, sucking in everything around it. In that instant the Cloud-nin took to look at the Uindo Bensha, Setsuko attacked. It was a slaughter. She ripped them to shreds in the crudest ways she could think of. Her lips curled up into a smile as she listened to their screams for mercy. With one man she nearly ripped off his face as she tore off his arm. She silenced his screams by thrusting her hands into his throat and laughed as more blood splattered onto her face. The next she broke every bone in his body and ripped out his heart in front of the remaining Cloud-nin. Each time she was much more gressume than the last, till finally, she stared at the scene in front of her. It was just like before. Before she came.

Blood. It bathed the trees and grass. The stink of death overpowered the senses. She stared down at them. Three dead bodies lay at her feet. Not an ounce of blood was left in the bodies. It was covering the grass and trees. She felt nothing as she stared down at the bodies. She had stood long ago. They interfered with her survive. Death was always twisted and linked with her. In some cruel and sick way it had become an art to her. The ability to take their life blood and splatter it all around their death scene. Ironic really. They were surrounded by their own life but still dead. It might have brought a smile to her lips. If she didn't hate it. If she didn't live through it night after night, drowning the her own guilty.

But this time, there was no guilt. It did bring a smile to her face. They hadn't interfered with her survival. No, what they had done was much worse. They had interfered with His survival. She took pleasure at seeing that ironic and twisted art. She loved it all. Watching their life blood grow cold all around them. But soon, the twisted smile she wore upon her face faded. He wasn't there. He was gone. Nothing could change that. She had given him the last part of her that was human and they took him away. They took him away with her heart. Setsuko felt the tears roll down her checks as she dropped to her her knees. Her eyes were red, it was unknown if it was from crying or because of its original color. Her chakra was no longer seen. But the blood remained as she sobbed. It remained all over her clothes, in her mouth, eyes, under her fingernails, in her hair, everywhere. Setsuko hugged herself as she sobbed uncontrollable. She began to claw at her clothes, ripping off parts of the clothes, trying to get rid of the blood. After a few minutes Setsuko looked up at the sky and screamed with tears flying up in the air from her sudden movement.

"WWWWHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed. She screamed it over and over again even though her voice was raw. She clawed at her face, trying to get the blood off, only seceding in causing her own blood to mix with the dead. Setsuko dug her nails into her skull as she shook her head while screaming. No longer could she form words. She pound on the ground, flung her arms about in the air, ripped at her hair, bit herself, scratched herself, clawed at her clothes, she screamed, and anything else she could think of. Finally, after what seemed like hours, she spoke. "Why couldn't it have been me? Why him? I loved him?" She croaked as tears renewed themselves. She began to pound the ground again. "BRING HIM BACK!!!! I'LL DO ANYTHING! ANYTHING!!! JUST BRING HIM BACK!!!!" She sobbed. "Just . . . bring him back. I don't care what happens to me. Bring him back."

"I can bring him back." A dark voice called out from the shadows. Setsuko looked up with her tear stained face.

"W-who are you?"

"Orochimaru." A bandaged hand came out from under his cloak. "I will bring him back, but it requires a high price . . . . are you willing?" Setsuko stood up and nodded.

"I will give my very life for his! What must I do?!" Snake eyes stared out from under his hood.

"Come," he held the hand out to her. "Come with me and he will live." Setsuko stumbled as she took her steps towards him.

"If . . . . if it will bring him back I will do it." She whispered as she grabbed Orochimaru's hand. A sinister chuckle was heard as Setsuko felt her mind slip away and her body give out. Another bandaged arm came out form the cloak and he caught her before she fell to the ground.

"Well, it seems as though the Uindo Bensha was easier than I thought." He muttered as he picked her up bridal style and carried her off. Only moments later did Tsunade, Jiraiya, Team 7 and 28, and other leaf-nin show up. The fire was quickly put out and all that stood in the ashes was a dark red bubble big enough to hold two or three people. Tsunade slowly approached it and studied before it shattered on its own. Kakashi stood where the bubble was, dazed. Tsunade took a step towards himself.

"Kakashi! What happened?" Kakashi looked around him at his former home.

"I . . . I don't know."
