Dragon jumped from limb to limb of the trees to search for her target, Michiru. A hidden rage rose inside of her, yet something else kept trying to push her away from the rage. It was a constant battle inside her mind and she didn't understand who the opponent was. It was like she forgotten something from long ago. She couldn't remember much of her past since her first death since there was two lives worth of memories in her mind. Dragon Ryushiro shared the same curse as all her family did. The curse went back all the way to the founder of the family Mystra Ryushiro, the so called "vampire" of the Ryushiro Clan. Nero sent her to find Michiru and find her weakness. She wasn't to attack until they both do the worse damage possible to Michiru. That was the only way to get a real revenge. Memories that seem to be blurred rushed back into her mind.

"You are making a mistake… Nero was using you Dragon. You can't obtain the power of the Silverfayts," a 16 year old Michiru said.

"You just hate him because he wanted you dead," Dragon muttered.

"Dragon! Remember why he wanted me dead! He wants to control the power as well! You don't even know the price I have to pay to have this power!" Michiru screamed at her. She slammed her fists down on a table that they were sitting at. "At least you can have a normal life! I can't even fall in love!"

"You think I have a normal life! You don't know what it is to be part of a clan of murderers!" Dragon snapped back.

"Just like you don't know that in being a Silverfayt will shorten your life! Dragon I care about you more than you realize," Michiru said.

"Then let me take the burden away from you. Let me be the Silverfayt instead. You're too good and pure to take this path. Let me be the one to have a short life," Dragon pleaded.

"Dragon this power isn't mine to give or for you to take. I'm sorry, I wouldn't even give this power to you even if my life depended on it," Michiru said.

"Then I will take it from you! I will go so far even to kill you to get what I want!" screamed Dragon. She took out her dagger and dug it into Michiru's shoulder. Michiru gasped out in surprise, but she moved quickly back.

"Dragon… I love you sister. I don't want to hurt you."

Michiru took the Silverfayt out and disappeared into a portal before Dragon could follow her. She cursed at herself and looked out the window to the setting sun.

"I will kill you in the end then… Till death do us part dear Onee-chan."

Dragon finally reached the town and night fell upon her. She wondered how she could start looking for Michiru in this vast town. Then she smiled. For just entering the gates nearby were three members of Team 7 and the other ninjas and random people came in her view. She jumped down from where she was and hid in the shadows to follow them.

Michiru's POV

The group finally made it back to Konoha, but they had one problem. Itachi refused to leave Michiru's side, but at least Kisame decided he would go back to the base and do what he does there. They came in the middle of the night as to draw attention away from the hooded Itachi. Kakashi agreed to let Nina stay at his place for the night and Naruto invited Snowfire Fox to his place even at Gaara's displeasure. Michiru decided that the only place for Itachi to go was to Sasuke's apartment with her and she could only hope that Sasuke wasn't there for the night, but she was still worried about him. The wind was cold that night as it blew her hair about her face. Here in Naruto World summer was ending and Fall was just beginning. Itachi put his arm around her to give her some warmth since she was in, well what you would call summer clothes.

"You okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine Itachi, but I feel the winds of change. Someone even more murderous than you is walking among us as someone we know," Michiru said.

"What happen to his body?"

"It was destroyed. That is the fate of one who is a Blackfayt. One who is the Dark-self of the Silverfayt," Michiru said.

"Dark-self?" Itachi said in confusion.

"Each world has a light world and a dark world. They are the opposites of each other in many ways. The Dark-self has a kind personality and does good for their world, while the Light-self can be evil and murderous. But only a Silverfayt can have a Dark-self of the opposite gender and personality. They called themselves the Blackfayts and work to kill their Light-selves in order to come into this world, but there is one problem. A Silverfayt and a Blackfayt cannot kill each other without killing themselves. That is our destiny. That is our fate. And now he has found a way to overcome that barrier which will change the worlds themselves. I must stop him," Michiru explained.

Out of the corner of Michiru's eye she saw a moment in the shadows. She pushed Itachi out of the way and felt a blade cut though her side. The burning pain shot up to her brain and she crumbled to the ground holding the wound. She watched as her past came out of the shadows.

Sakura's POV

Sakura went searching for Sasuke when the others left for their "beach trip." She felt mad that no one even bothered to look for Sasuke. She was trudging though the forest trying to see if she could find him at his secret spots that she found out about. It was getting colder and she held herself in a hug trying to keep warm.

"I should have bought a jacket," she muttered to herself. She came upon a clearing by a river and saw a familiar person sitting by the bank. "Sasuke!" Sakura cried.

Sasuke turned around and looked at her. He smiled and gestured her to sit by him. (Yes! I get to sit next to Sasuke!) Sakura thought. She ran over to him smiling.

"What are you doing here Sasuke?" she asked.

"Just looking at the river. I find it peaceful when the leaves are just about to change colors," Sasuke replied. He looked at her and gave her a smile.

Sasuke smiling? Something is wrong here… Sakura thought. She wondered why he wasn't still upset about what happen between Michiru and him.

"What about Michiru? Don't you care about where she ran off to?" Sakura asked.

"Why should I care about that Bitch? She is long gone now," Sasuke said with a laugh. Sakura felt her insides turn. This wasn't the Sasuke she knew. This wasn't even the Sasuke she fell in love with.

"You're not Sasuke! Who are you and why do you look like my Sasuke?" Sakura demanded.

"Heh… Guess I can't fool you wrench. I'm just borrowing Sasuke's body while I get my revenge on little Michiru," "Sasuke" said. "And let me tell you who I am before I kill you. My name is Nero."

Sakura jumped up and backed away slowly from Nero. She didn't know what was going on, but the person who took Sasuke was about to kill her. He rushed at her with a sword that appeared in his hand. She was going to die…
