Okay, like I've said in the last chappie, this story is slowly coming to a close. There will be only one more chapter after this one. After I've finished this then I had planned to continue one of my one-shot stories. I'm thinking either Nowhere To Run or Reunion with a Devil...I haven't decided which one. So if you've got a preference to one of them then let me know and I'll continue that one, kay? Okay, so I really didn't want to bring this up, but a person sent me a nasty little review about my Kakashi story. I don't mind flames...I really don't. I just see it as constructive criticism...but when this person started talking about closed-minded subjects then I got mad. Yes, I am aware that my Kakashi story was a Mary Sue. And some people don't like Mary Sue, but the same amount of people do like them. So grow up and realize that not all stories have to fit inside a certain criteria...thank you. Now on with the story!

Juyo's pov

I waded in a sea of darkness and have no clue what-so-ever how to get out. It was like my subconscious mind was on 'take over' drive, and I was sitting in the back of it. I knew

that it was morning, and yet I couldn't wake. It wasn't the 'oh I'm too tired to open my eyes' kind of not getting up...it's more like the 'OMFG, my entire body is numb. I can't move

anything.' kind. And so I'm getting rather worried. 'Damn.' I thought and heard the same word echo it's way around me. What the hell is going on. This can't be a regular dream...so

that only leaves one answer. "Poison." I stated wondering who the hell got past Mishi and Mia last night just to give me a sleeping poison..."MIA!" I yelled out in realization and

winced when the rough sound hit my ears again. Why the hell would she want to keep me asleep? Why not just kill me in my sleep?...b/c I would have felt her murderous chacra

and got up to fight her. Damn. Not I'm stuck in a fuckin coma...wait. Shouldn't Mishi have come in here to wake me up by now. Okay, now I'm really worried. If Mia did anything

to her I'll...shit, I can't do anything while I'm asleep. "ju...ju-kun...ju-kun..." a voice wispered out ot me. "Mishi?" I wispered back wondering how the hell she got inside my head. A

soft light had then reached my curious eyes. And under this small light was a figure. "Mishi." I called out to her as she fell to her knees. I ran to her slumped form and lifted her head.

Her eyes held such a horribly sad feeling, but I didn't get a chance to ask her what was wrong before she asked me where we were. "Um...believe it or not, we're in my head. Mia

probably put me in a permanent sleep..." I started, but stopped when I saw Mishi's eyes flash with sadness at the mention of Mia's name. "Mishi...what happened? How did you get

inside my head in the first place?" I asked her taking her by her shoulders and lifting her up with me. She kept her gaze downward refusing to answer my questions. It was then that

another spot of soft light reached my eyes. I looked over to see the outlines of a room...wait, the kitchen. I let go of Mishi's shoulders and walked toward the scene. What the hell

was going on? I walked slowly closer feeling my stomach drop lower with the proximity. And when I finally reached the scene my breath got stuck at the middle of my throat. It

definitely was our very own kitchen, but something was different. Blood covered our walls and a lone figure layed there on the floor. I had begun to shake as I walked even closer. I

could hear the faint crying of Mishi behind me. And although I truely did not want to believe it, I knew why she was crying. B/c it was her body that was slumped lifelessly on that

kitchen floor. I shook violently as I stood above her body. "Ju-kun..." Mishi sobbed out behind me, but I did not answer. I stood there staring at my entire reason for living lying out

on the floor. "No...this is a trick." I said trying to convince myself. "It's not real...you can't be..." I heard my chanting echo around me.

And firm hands wrapped themselves around me from behind. I still stared at the lifeless body, but felt a bit of wetness on the back of my shirt. I knew that it was Mishi who was

holding me. I turned to face her and grabbed her shoulders. "Tell me it isn't true!" I yelled at her only to see her gaze fall. I shook her as a couple of tears fell from my eyes. "I'm

sorry Ju-kun. I could have stopped her. She wanted to kill you and didn't want me in the way. I should have fought better!" she cried into my nightshirt. My hands fell limply at my

sides. "Then why didn't she?" I asked more so to myself. But knew that if she had killed me in my sleep then the Hokage would have definitely found out that it was her. I balled my

hands into fists until I began to bleed. "It was all her Ju-kun. She was the one that hired the sound village to attack our village! And she erased our memories of it!" Mishi went

on...and then it all came back to me.

We were on our way to the Wind Village when she disappeared. On Mishi's request, we back tracked and found Mia talking to a sound shinobi. We heard with our own ears

how she wanted them to kill every single person in the Lightening Village and confronted her about it. But she began a wierd jutsu saying that it wasn't our time to know. SO IT

WAS HER! I felt myself beginning to lose control. I felt Mishi let go of my shirt and step back. "J-Ju-kun?" she wispered to me. My eyes were closed while I took deep breaths

trying not to let Mishi see me like this. "I'll kill her." I said simply still shaking. Half-breed or not, that was my home she destroyed. And to put the icing on the fucking cake...she

murdered Mishi! My anger began building up, but I kept my eyes closed. "Go Mishi. Everything will be alright. I'll avenge you and our village. Pass on...don't worry about me or

anything else okay?" I said feeling her arms wrap around me one more time before it disappeared. And once again I was surrounded by darkness. I felt my breaths come up short

as I felt something inside of me stir...something that I have never felt before. "Poison?...do you think that will stop me Mia?" I mumbled to myself building up a healing chacra. I let

the chacra consume me and everything around me. My prison of darkness began to fade away. And when I finally opened my eyes...it was to meet the white ceiling of the outside

world.

I wasted no time before swinging my legs over the side of my bed and racing downstairs to meet what I had feared. I almost slipped when coming upon the entrance of the

kitchen. I looked down at the blood that I had slipped on and refused to open the kitchen door. I just bolted out of the front door and toward the academy. It was late...probably

around twelve. That means that it was about lunch time at the school. 'How could that crazy bitch go to school after what she did!' I thought to myself as I headed full speed toward

the grounds. I arrived there not a second past two minutes. I knew that I was putting out an emmense chacra when everyone turned my way when I had arrived. Anger was feuling

me and I would not calm down. And then I saw her...sitting with her team. Neji didn't even cross my mind as I walked over to her surprised form and picked her up by her shirt

collar and threw her clear across the grounds. I said nothing to no one, although I could hear people calling out my name in shock. I began walking toward where I threw her before

someone caught hold of my wrist. "What the hell are you doing!" Neji yelled into my face. I yanked my wrist from his grasp. "Try to stop me and I will not hesitate to kill you too." I

stated simply to him and walked back over to Mia. She was standing with a psychotic smirk on her face. "So you know?...I didn't really expect you to be strong enough to break

out of the coma." she said to me. "JUST FIGHT BITCH!" I yelled at her as I began to run toward her. But I was cut short when a kunai zoomed right past my head. "That's enough

out of you two!" I heard someone yell to the side...it was probably Kakashi. I kept my glare on Mia as her smirk fell. "Put it up. This is it. A fight to the death." I said to her as she

smiled at the thought. She did a jutsu and I saw a force field rise up around us. So we could hear no one's shouting and no one could throw a weapon in attempt to stop us. I ran to

her once again and began the fight.

/2 hours later/

I was suddenly thrown into the force field and fell to my knees. We both were out of breath, but she was definitely kicking my ass. I had a large cut down my side, compliments

of her shadow shuriken. And not so important bruises...while I only roughed her up a bit. I coughed up a bit of blood as I heard her laugh. I knew that everyone was still trying to

figure out a way to get to us. "Damn it." I mumbled to myself when I felt my chacra begin to fade away. But I stood up anyway and charged at her again. I readied myself as I did a

jutsu. "Lightening Shockwave!" I called out as I clapped my two chacra filled hands together. The wave sped to her but I knew that it would miss. At the last moment, she

disappeared. I tensed and ducked as I felt her appear behind me. I stretched my leg out from behind and caught her in her throat. Good thing that I remember now how she

fights...she's just fast as hell. She flew a few feet away and spit out some blood, but it didn't affect her as much as it should have. "Damn!" I knew that I was running out of time and

blood. This side wound would be the death of me if nothing else. I could feel my balance give as I swayed a bit. "It's useless Juyo. You're a filthy half-breed. Did you really expect

to beat a full-blood?" she said to me. "Just answer me this and the we can finish this." I said to her, my vision going blurry for a second. "Why Mishi? What did she do?" I waited for

her to answer while she laughed. I balled my fist. "I always hated that damn village." she said between her teeth. I got angrier at this. That was not my question, but she went on.

"You know, you were always his favorite." I narrowed my eyes at this. Was she talking about her father? What the hell gave her the idea that I was his favorite. "He saw you as the

perfect weapon no matter how many times I beat your ass!" she yelled out to me. Now she was confusing me. "You wanted to be used as his little weapon, you psycho!" I yelled

right back to her, but she paid me no mind. "Every since he found out that your father was from the slain ancient Alchemy Clan..." she trailed off after that. My eyes widened. So he

knew what the other half of me was! He knew where I had come from and didn't tell me! WHAT THE FUCK! I felt my anger build up once again. "And I hated him for picking a

half-breed over me!" I heard her yell out. I stood up straight, no longer worried about that side-wound, and pointed a finger at her. "That wasn't my question!" I screamed out. She

just looked a bit surprised at my outburst and chuckled a bit.

"It doesn't matter now Juyo. She dead." she said with her hands on her hips as if she was lecturing me. "And you know what surprised me the most about her, Juyo?" she asked

me as I began to shake with a newly found passion. "She didn't beg for her life as I ran her through with YOUR double-edged blade." she finished and began laughing as if it was

the funniest thing in the world. At that very moment, I felt something inside of me snap. It was like I stepped out of my body and could only watch as a non-familiar chacra ran

throughtout me. I saw my self heal my side-wound in seconds and looked back at Mia's shocked expression. And I began to change. My hair turned white and grew out to the

beginning of my butt. My once grey and brown eyes both turned brown...an hint that I was now using the blood-line of my father. Mia had begun to shake, but she soon tried to

hide it and ran toward me. I watched as she threw her shadow shuriken at me. I raised my hand as they approached me and saw a wierd symbol materialize right infront of my

hand. The shadow shuriken were stopped and with a flick of my wrist I forced them back to their owner. Mia attempted to deflect them, but got hit anyway. "Impossible!"she yelled

out as she ran toward me once again. I waited patiently for her get closer with her intent to punch me and stepped to the side to avoid it. Without hesitation, I began a jutsu while

she was throwing kicks and punches. "Lightening Strikes!" I yelled out and pushed my hands toward her. Chacra formed bolts flew from my hands and struck Mia dead on. She

flew back into the force field and from the corner of my eye I could see the Hokage forming a jutsu to drop the barrier, but I couldn't stop. I had to finish this...for Mishi and my

village. I turned my full attention to Mia as she struggled to get to her feet again. She was now bloody and bruised. I saw her sway aand stumble a bit before glaring at me once

again. I held no emotion in my eyes...only in my mind. But I saw...that Mia was afraid. She had begun shaking as I walked closer to her and fell to her knees. "What's the point in

killing me, huh?" she said trying to sound reasonable, but her voice was wavering. I watched as she kept on her knees blabbering about how I would be no better than her if I killed

her. I suppose she thought that she was getting to me b/c I had yet to seize her, but it wasn't b/c of her words. I don't attack while a person is down. She didn't know that I was

waiting for her to stand up. She did not know that I saw her hands reach into her weapon pouch. And she didn't know that I was ready for her as she rushed up to her feet to thrust

the kunai into my stomach. But she had finally found out when I grabbed her hand with the weapon and bent it back. The weapon fell from her grasp when she yelled out in pain. I

let her go and she fell right back to the ground.

"Get up." I told her getting tired of her wasting my time. "You call yourself a ninja. Then die like one...on your feet." I said seeing her shake. But she slowly got to her feet and

looked me in my eye. I took a step back and waited for her to make a move. She finally rushed up to me to kick me in my head but I grabbed her foot. I swung her foot around

causing her back to face me. Wanting to finish it I grabbed both sides of her head and snapped it to the side. And she fell lifelessly to the ground. Her field dropped, but no one

came rushing toward us. They knew that she was dead...and that I was dangerous. 'It's over...' I thought to myself as I looked down at her body. It was then that I felt my true

consiousness take over. My hair grew back to it's mid-length honey brown curly stature. My left eye had turned grey once again. But my energy was gone. I felt bile rise up in my

throat and had began to sway back and forth. I hardly felt myself hit the ground not a moment afterward, but stared up at the teasingly beautiful sky. I knew that a tear had rolled

down the side of my face as Mishi's image flashed into my mind. "It's over Mishi. You can rest easy now." I wispered more so to myself. A couple more tears fell down my face as

darness began to shut me inside it's thick walls. I wasn't sad, but I was numb. I was praying for a bit more life energy to come to my body, but got none. I was dying...so I closed

my eyes and let it take me.

Okie Dokie! There's one more chappie left. Come and find out what happens to Juyo. Does she die and Neji grieve like no tomorrow? Does she live and get kicked out of the village for murder? Does she get blamed for Mishi's death? Does monkeys come and teach everyone how to fly?...wait, wrong story . The only way to find out is to wait for the next chappie. And remember, the more reviews I get, the faster I'll put the last chappie up! (oh yes, blackmail is a beautiful thing!) BYE BYE NOW!
