Michiru pushed herself away from Itachi and slapped him across the face. A red mark appeared under the moonlight of where the slap hit on his face and she lower her glazed and looked away from him. She could feel the hatred rise in him as he stared at her, but she felt his anger ebb away. She looked up and for the first time, saw sadness in his Sharingan eyes.

"I'm sorry… But my heart doesn't belong to either to you. It cannot belong to anyone," Michiru said.

"I don't need your heart Michiru. All I want is you. I finally realized that after I saw my younger brother save you when I was about to kill you," Itachi said as he put his arms around her. "I'm not going to let Sasuke take you away from me."

Michiru pushed out of his arms again and went closer towards the cliff's edge. If only see could get home she could get away from this feeling of heaviness in her heart. To escape where she can take her fate and accept it as Grandma Silverfayt did long ago. She looked in Itachi's eyes and knew that she was in love with both of the Uchiha brothers. I can't love either of them. I can't ever care for my friends without hurting them… Michiru told herself. She took a step back further and felt her foot hit nothing as she fell back off the cliff.

"Ahh!" Michiru cried out as she started to fall. Itachi appeared near her and caught her hand as she was falling. He easily pulled her back up and held her in his arms. His smile was once Michiru never saw on him before. It was warm, not the cold smile of slaughtered, but the warm smile of love. She closed her eyes and laid her head against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

It was dark and cold in the void between the dark and light worlds of the dimensions. Michiru opened her eyes and saw before her the Silver Dragon of legend that she heard about in story tales. The very same dragon that the men came looking for when her village was destroyed.

"Michiiirrruuu…" It called out though the place where nothing should have existed. "Follow your heart dear one… Follow the will of the Silver Dragon. Only you hold the power to change what was written years ago… A great power will come to Naruto World and the ones you love will be killed. Beware young one… Listen to your heart…"

Michiru watched as the Silver Dragon glow a brilliant gold and disappeared in front of her. She heard what the Dragon said, but it seemed too impossible to be true. The winds in the void felt cold as it rushed pass her and then she knew… Danger was approaching, and she didn't know what it was.

Sasuke's POV

Sasuke was standing where Michiru was kidnapped by Itachi three days before. He hasn't seen her since she ran out on him in the hospital and he was hurt inside. He heard what she said, but there was something else. Something she was hiding. He knew she loved him, but there was something blocking that love. He looked around and noticed a small flower on the ground. He got closer and saw that it was a rose, but this rose was unlike anything he had ever seen. The rose was silver. He touched the rose and felt a power surged though him. He couldn't move or even see anything anymore. He felt a presence inside of him as it took over his body. He tried fighting it, but soon he passed out and fell into the blackness of his mind.

"Heh… Prefect. I thought I would never have gotten out of that stupid flower. Michiru is going to have such a surprise in seeing me again," the presence in Sasuke said out loud. "Nero has returned from the grave and is ready for another round. And I even made it better by taking over the person she loves the most. Mwhahahahahaha!"

Nero looked at himself as Sasuke and gave a wide grin. He could feel his powers and the powers of this body surge within him and he liked it. Finally, he can get revenge to what she did to him five years ago.

"I was lucky that I found a way into the world of light even after I was defeated. All because of her precious friend that she killed with her own sword. Dragon! Appear before me now! Come back from the dead and get your revenge on the one who killed you!"

A black mist slowly appeared and a girl walked out of the mist. Her long brown hair fell to her waist and the emerald green eyes looked at the one who summoned her. She was wearing tight black pants with a black armored chest plate. At her side was a small sheath with one of the many daggers she wielded.

"Dragon Ryushiro… Here is your chance to take what you wanted three years ago. It is time to payback the one who killed you," Nero said smiling.

"Yes Nero. You gave me a second chance at life, and I won't fail you," Dragon said as she looked up at him in Sasuke's body. "I will find Michiru and kill her!" she growled as she threw one of her daggers into a tree. The tree fell to the ground as the dagger went right though it.

"Good… good…" Nero smirked. And inside of his mind, Sasuke watched as Nero and Dragon planned to kill the very person he loved. He couldn't fight the soul of Nero inside of him and he felt weak yet again. He only hope that the others will realized that this person isn't him. And he hoped that they don't succeed in killing Michiru. Where ever she was right now…

Note: If you want to know more about why Nero wants revenge then you have to read A Life of Adventure… Not! For Saiyuki, but you don't need to. You will hear what his relation to Michiru is soon enough. R&R!
