Kushina is lying down on the rooftop looking at the moon.
'This is the only time I could be at peace.' Kushina's smile turns into a frown when thinking about her son.
"You know Minato is looking for you." Kushina sits up and signs.
"I know but I want to be alone right now." Kurama signs knowing why Kushina is acting like this.
"What has you conflicted Kushina," Kurama asked. Kushina stays silent for a moment before answering.
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing."
"What do you mean," Kurama asked confused.
"Helping Minato create a cell underneath beacon ment for Naruto," Kushina answered.
"He didn't tell you everything did he." Kushina looks at Kurama with a confused expression.
"The cell is ment to block off his chakra. But when that is done Ozpin is going to put him under a strong illusion that he won't be able to break out of."
"What is the illusion supposed to do," Kushina asked.
"It is supposed to act like the infinite tsukuyomi," Kurama answered.
"I won't let them hurt him more," Kushina said.
"I don't want this either Kushina but I feel like this could work and finally let Naruto rest."
"Or it could break him even more," Kushina said glaring at Kurama.
"That's a risk I'm willing to take if it means I could finally let him rest and take away the pain that he keeps buried underneath. If that's all you have a dance to prepare for tomorrow." Kurama disappears from Kushina's sight.
Kushina stand up and heads towards the stair but not before looking towards a Raven watching her.
'How did I not notice the bird. Why do I feel a large amount of aura coming from it.' The Raven lands in front of her before transforming into a woman wearing a Grimm mask.
Kushina unseals her sword ready to defend herself. "I'm not here to fight," the mysterious woman said.
"Why should I bulieve you," Kushina asked not letting her guard down.
"You want to know the truth about your son Naruto Uzumaki."
Kushina looks shocked that this unknown person knows her son's name.
"Who are you," Kushina asked lowering her sword.
"Raven Brawen. We have much to talk about Kushina Uzumaki."
(Next day)
"You know the girls did a pretty good job organizing this dance," Minato said.
"They did didn't they," Ozpin said watching students dance.
"Why didn't your wife come to the dance," Ozpin asked.
"I really don't know. She said she didn't feel well," Minato said.
"Well I hope she feels better soon," Ozpin said.
Emerald and Mercury are looking from above making sure everyone has partners.
"It appears all the dancer have partners," Emerald said.
"How long do I have?"
"We should probably be home by midnight, to be safe," Mercury said.
(With Cinder)
"I'll keep my eye on the clock." Cinder starts running towards the communications tower.
Cinder notices a guard and ducks down. She makes her way around and gets behind the guard. She knocks him out in one hit.
She walks into the building. Inside she notices four more guards. She ignore their warning before sprinting towards the guard in front of her.
She gets a hold of him before forcing him to shoot another guard. She throws the guard she was holding towards the railing.
The other two are about to charge at her before hearing something behind them.
"Chidori." One of the guards gets killed instantly when a hand goes through his chest. The last gaurd gets caught off guard by Cinder and gets knocked out instantly.
"I had that under control father," Cinder said walking towards the elevator with Naruto following.
"Perhaps but I wanted to hang out with my daughter," Naruto said.
Naruto grabs two Kunai before throwing towards the elevator right when the doors open. The guards get instantly killed when the kunai go though their head.
Cinder and Naruto go inside the elevator. "So why are you here father."
"Can't I see my daughter once in a while," Naruto said with a smile.
Cinder smiles as well knowing her father is being honest. She has only seen her father smile when he is with her or with Salem for some reason. They step out of the elevator as soon as the doors open.
She makes her way towards a computer and starts hacking it.
"A party guest is leaving," Emerald announced through the ear piece.
"Which one," Cinder asked.
"Ironwood," Emerald answered.
Naruto senses someone coming up the elevator.
"You done yet," Naruto asked Cinder.
All the screens in the room turn on showing a Queen piece. "Yes."
Cinder hides when hearing the elevator open. Naruto goes through hand signs before turning invisible.
"Hello?" Ruby walks slowly into the room while not noticing Naruto sneaking behind her.
Cinder comes out of hiding and releases dust into the air turning it into icicles and launching them at her. Ruby destroys them with her weapon.
Ruby gets hit from behind and throw towards Cinder who grabs her by the neck and slams her into the ground.
"Well looks like you get to meet your see your mother again Ruby Rose." Ruby was dazed from Cinder's attack earlier that she doesn't hear Naruto.
The elevator opens revealing Ironwood. Cinder sneaks away and escapes. Naruto disappears in a flash. Ironwood rushes towards Ruby's side when noticing her. With Ironwood distracted, he doesn't notice a Queen piece appear on the computer Cinder used.
(Next day)
"Everything went as planned last night Cinder," Emerald asked.
"It did. Although I did get help from my father," Cinder answered.
"By the way, we got a package delivered to our room last night. It's for you Cinder. But it said to give you the letter first," Mercury said holding out the letter.
Cinder grabs it and starts reading it.
-Consider this your early birthday present since we won't be able to celebrate it like we usually do this year.
-from your Father
Cinder notices Mercury take a medium size box and a pet carrier from underneath his bed.
Cinder opens the box revealing a bunch of rubber ball and water balloons. She notices a piece a paper with instructions for the Rasengan.
She smiles since the Rasengan was a move she wanted to learn when she was 12. Her father never let her since he said she was too young.
She moves her focus towards the pet carrier. She opens it and a small golden retriever comes out panting. She bends down and picks it up carefully.
She sits on her bed and begins petting the puppy. Both Mercury and Emerald are surprised to see Cinder smiling.
(Chapter End)
Well this marks the end of chapter 6 of the Cursed Duo. It took me awhile to write this chapter since I kept rewriting it muiltiple times.
Also school kept me busy for a while since the semester was ending so forgive me for not uploading weekly. That being said leave your ideas that I might consider trying to add into the story and opinions about this chapter.
Until next time, peace.
