Disclaimer: Y'all know the drill, I do not own Naruto. If I did, I would give a whole new meaning to the term 'Graphic Novel'

These are just a few things you may need to know while reading my story.

Anything in bold is what I am saying, and is not part of the story.

Italics mean the thoughts and feelings of a character, mostly Otsu.

They also show sarcastic or ironic words, also in rare cases show a flashback

(Recap)

Otsu's breath catches in her throat. "Y-Your the boy who saved me so long ago? They told me he died."

"I made it th-that way, I loved you, and I didn't want you to feel obligated to love me. I had them tell you your savior died."

Otsu goes to say something when Takuan walks down the stairs. "You've had an hour, now tell me, what is your decision?" He crosses his arm and looks at her.

Pulling herself erect, Otsu catches his stony gaze and says. . .

The Return of Otsu Miyamoto

Pulling herself erect, Otsu catches his stoney gaze, and says, "I, Otsu Miyamoto, will never give myself to the likes of you. I've sworn to avenge my family, and you will die by my hand!"

Takuan laughs and snaps his fingers. "Well Otsu, this is your doing." A large man walks in with a box of kunia. Her kunia.

"Since you were so willing to give yourself to him, I thought it a nice touch for him to die by your prized possesions." Takuan flicks his fingers, and the knives fly out of the box and hover in front of Shino's semi-concious form. "Now, lets here you beg and plead for his life. I want to hear your scream of anguish when the light leaves his eyes." He waves his hand, and the fifty plunge into Shino's body.

His precious blood covers the walls, Takuan, and Otsu. Otsu screams. She had thought it a bluff on Takuans part, and now Shino is dead. "You fucking basterd! Your ass is mine!" A blue light begins to emminate around her.

"You murdered my family and butchered my friend. You've supressed the people of Otsukagakure for to long!" The light around her intensifies, and her chains begin to rattle violently. "Takuan Osagi, you die today!" Otsu's chains shatter, leaving her free to stand against Takuan.

His condesending smile falters as the nimbus around her turns red. His eyes dart from side to side, seeking an escape route. He begins to sweat when he doesn't find one.

"O-Otsu come now, wh-what would killing me d-do in the long run. I mean, I'll g-give you back your village, just spare me my life."

Otsu narrows her eyes at him. "You didn't show mercy to the women, grannies, infants and children you killed, so why should I do you any different? You threatened me and killed my only friend and lover; but you expect mercy? I think not."

Takuan closes his eyes and begins whimpering, which infuriates Otsu even more. Flicking her fingers, she forms the signs of the horse, dragon, snake, tiger, lion, and boar. "Otsukagakure's Blood Red Sunrise no Jutsu!"

Takuan begins glowing orange with a red aura about him. Otsu stares him in the eyes and clenches her hand. Without any warning he explodes. All the glass in the castle shatters, the floor shakes, and dust falls from the ceilings.

Otsu stands alone in a circle of carnage, untouched. Shaking with rage and exhaustion, she staggers to Takuan's remains, and picks up a kunia. "Fifty-one, thats all." She looks up with the room spinning, and blacks out.

"Where is my mother and father!" Otsu cries despairingly to the strange adults around her. "What happened to my village!"

A blond wooman walks to her and takes her by the hand, leading her into an office.

"Ms. Miyamoto, as Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, I-" The lady sighs and looks the young girl in the eyes. "I regret to inform you, your family is dead."

The light leaves Otsu's eyes as comprehension strikes. "Wh-what about my country? What's happened to Otsukagakure?"

Tsunade bites her lip and answers quietly. "Your country has been taken under the command of Takuan Osagi, who thankfully doesn't know of your escape."

Another question enters Otsu's mind. "What happened to the boy who saved me, you know the one who pulled me from the flames?"

"So wise after such an event, you take after your father so well. The boy, yes he was one of our finest shinobi. . ."

The girl gapes, "Was! You mean he-" The girl breaks off as the magnitude of what happened finally dawns on her. "Mother, Father! Their all dead!" Tears stream down Otsus face as pain and grief wash over her in nauseating waves. "My family, all of them, their all. . .dead!" She says the last word in an inaudible whisper, as if expecting it to be a dream, a nightmare she would wake up from in the arms of her father.

Uncontrolable sobs rack the young girls body, as the Hokage holdes her close. From within the confines of the hug the girls voice comes again, but with a different more distant voice. "They will pay. They will all pay for what they did my family." With that, the girls tears stopped, and within her swollen eyes lay a look camparable only to that of the one held by Sasuke Uchiha. "They will all die!"

Otsu awakes in a familiar room, a hospital ward in Konoha. Looking around, she sights a basket of fruit sitting next to her bed. She picks out an apple and ravenously bite into it, savoring the sweet juices that flow from within.

"I see you're awake."

Her breath catches in her throat. After what happened, it can't be. Otsu closes her eyes and turns around, whispering one word. "Shino." Otsu opens her eyes and there he is.

"B-but how, I saw you. . ."

Shino walks across the room, and pulls her into a gentle embrace. "Otsu, I went after Musashi in the forest, and followed him to the river. I made a clone just in case of trouble, and sent it down to look around. Upon seeing my clone captured by Musashi, I ran to check on you. When I returned to the camp though, it was splattered with blood, and you were gone. Fearing the worst, I followed your trail to the Otsukagakure castle, and waited to see what would happen. When I saw you despairing over Takuans ultimatum, I made my clone help you through it."

Shino pushes Otsu's head back to look at her face. "Understand Otsu. I let you fight your own battle; as not to steal your right at vengance. I knew that making it appear as if I had died would anger you enough to use the Otsukagakure signature jutsu, which would undoubtedly kill Takuan"

Otsu looks at him with her eyes brimming with tears. Shino reaches out and gently brushes them away, then leaning down, he kisses her softly on the lips.

"Otsu, I have loved ever since that fateful night nine years ago when I saved you."

Looking into Shino's serene fave, she blushes and replies in a barely audible voice. "I've loved you since than too."

Shino takes Otsu's hand and whispers in her ear, "Lets go home."

She looks down. "All three of us."

He smiles. "Yes, all three of us."

Im going to cry! I love this story, and now that is done, I have no idea what to do. I would have to say, the saddest part of the story is the flashback Otsu has when she's unconcious. I had people asking about how that day worked out, so there's the key to Otsus past. Please review. Also, I will be posting a new story soon, I just have no idea what it will be about. Bu-Bye
