May 7th, Midnight…

'Today was her birthday…' Autumn thought to herself, as she lay in her room alone. The previous week, the Akatsuki had left her home, once again, and she was left to drown in her misery. She really did want May back, but she didn't want to watch anyone else die. Getting tired of doing nothing, Autumn got up, and went downstairs. She didn't really mind the long walk. It gave her time to think before she reached her destination. Before she made it to the first floor, she felt drawn toward the scroll that lay opened, but untouched, on the table in the library.

'What is wrong with me?' She asked herself, as she entered the room. Maybe she could ask Pein to sacrifice Hidan. It wasn't as if he was going to die. Or Kabuto, or Orochimaru.

'No.' That wasn't the best idea. She still needed to ask them about her parents. They couldn't die until she had answers, and after that, they could fall off a cliff, or jump in a lake for all she cared.

'Maybe then I could...' Autumn mused, as she gently ran her fingers across the ancient parchment that the scroll was made of.

There were other ways to bring her back to life. She just had to find them. Maybe she could try and enter the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist" and find the philosopher's stone.

'As if,' She doubted that she could even get there in the first place. Plus if Ed had been looking for it for years, how could she find it within the month she had before the akatsuki came back? Throwing that somewhat stupid idea out the window, Autumn sat down at the table and attempted to be serious. Maybe she could just forget about her? Not gonna happen. Suicide? ...Maybe... She definitely wasn't going to commit homocide for a second time.

Well then, as most of us should already know. Emo people do not need to start thinking about killing themselves. Especially if they're all alone, in a house full of sharp/pointy ninja weapons, random guns, senbon (needles), and evil/dark scrolls. Not to mention the emo cloud above her head which was starting to emit random streaks of lightning.

Dismissing, yet accepting her suicidal thoughts, Autumn took another look at the scroll in front of her. Maybe she could get around the whole sacrifice thing. Maybe, instead of sacrificing another person, she could sacrifice her chakra! It was basically the same, since chakra was a person's life force. If that didn't work, then there was always her math teacher...

First, though, before she attempted any of that, she was going to eat something. All this thinking had taken up a total of about three and a half hours. Never too eary for breakfast!

One week later...

Autumn still hadn't bothered with the scroll. In that one week, she had fallen so deep into depression that the emo cloud above her head had become hurricane Emo. She had to tie herself to the bed at night just to make sure she didn't fly away.

Her emo-ness didn't seem to improve, since school started again, and the whole entire school was buzzing with the news of May's death. Plus, just so they wouldn't have to make up the missed days, the teachers were giving their students all of the homework that was missed, and they were giving a test to make sure that they understood it at the end of the year.

None of the Obsessionists were talking. Not to each other. Not to the teachers. All of them were in silent mourning. They had been referred to the school councilor, but none of them said anything. Some of the girls cried, but that was it. Autumn just played around with her chakra the whole time. She had been storing her chakra by creating a seal, much like the one Kabuto used. The seal kept her chakra inside of her body, instead of realising it at night. She didn't really need it. She wasn't sleeping. Since the akatsuki left her house, her insomnia had come back.

There was still Cleo, though. Autumn truly hated being alone again, but if Cleo was her only option, then she could forget it. She hadn't even thought about that snake since she left her at Oro's. She could just wait a bit more. If her body didn't collapse from the stress, then she might still have a chance...

Another week of emoness later...

Autumn was lying on her bed. Her body felt as if it was on fire. Sadly, just as she predicted, her body collapsed from the stress of holding so much chakra. She couldn't move. If she tried, she was sure that more pain would follow. Suddenly the house start to shake, but just as quickly as it started, it stopped.

"WE'RE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER BI-?" Hidan started as he burst into Autumn's room. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!?"

"Could you please not yell... I'm in enough pain as it is, the last thing I need is a headache..." Autumn begged, but Hidan didn't listen. Instead, by the time she finished that sentence, he was halfway to the second floor.

"ITACHI!!" She heard Hidan's resounding voice. Well, he was mad at something, anyone could tell that. About five minutes later, Itachi appeared in Autumn's doorway.

"Aki, are you hurt?"

"Yes, but I'm okay," Itachi looked at her, obviously he didn't believe that. He walked to her side, and gently poked her in the forehead.

"Ooowww..." Autumn whined. That didn't help. Itachi examined the newly made burn on his finger. No wonder she was in pain... Itachi examined her arms first, much to her complaint, and then checked her legs. When he didn't find anything, he checked the back of her neck. And behold, the item he was searching for. She had sealed her own chakra with a certain type of tag. Only she could remove it.

"Foolish little..." He paused. Wrong person.

"I'm not Sasuke, remember?" She bit out, "Why are you here anyway? You're not due back until next month." Itachi just shook his head in response. He grabbed her arm, and directed it to the seal on her neck.

"Take it off." He commanded.

"No!" Autumn cried, weakly. Using what strength she had left, she pushed herself off of the bed. But, Itachi still had a hold on her arm. He wrapped her fingers around the edge of the tag, and ripped it off. Almost immediately, Autumn's strong, almost suffocating chakra signature, filled the room.

"Are you trying to commit suicide?" Itachi asked, calmly. Autumn didn't answer, instead, she started to make rapid hand signs, and she disappeared. Itachi raised an eyebrow. He didn't remember teaching her that yet.

Autumn reappeared in the cemetary where May had been buried the previous week.

'It's now, or never...'Despite the vast amounts of pain that were plaguing her body, she still managed to perform the appropriate hand signs, and hoped that only her chakra would be enough of a sacrifice. Autumn placed her hands of the grave, and started to release all of her stored up chakra. She could already tell that it wouldn't be enough. The emo hurricane, floated away as it felt that it's host wasn't going to be around much longer, and conquered the sky. As rain started to pour down, Autumn pushed harder. She was risking her own life, but it was worth it.

Itachi looked out the window. He knew what she was doing, but Pein forbade him to go after her. It was her choice, and hers alone. If she was that desperate to die, then so be it. Suddenly, everything stopped. The rain, their breathing, and even their heartbeats.

At that moment, the akatsuki disappeared from our world. For what may have been the last time...

May sat there crying, much as Autumn once did when it was her turn. She held her best friend's head in her lap, and cried to her heart's content.

"YOU IDIOT!!" She cried out to the world. Sadly there was no one around to hear her. Even if they did, they wouldn't care. The only person who ever cared was gone, and there was nothing she could do about it...

Well this chapter sucked. But it got better at the end. Don't stop reading, because there's still more. Say hello to our new main character! MAY!!
