Disclaimer: me don't own


Recap

"Ok, I'll tell you about the day when we left our old self behind and started on a new future. A future that changed our lives forever."


)O(

"It all started after grandfather's funeral. I was really pissed off at the village…and myself…"

Flashback

"I cant believe this happen! I cant believe he's really gone"

"Please don't cry, aki, it doesn't fit you at all."

"I cant help it, Natsuki, ever since aunt lily left for an ANBU mission, he was all I had left." I sat down on the ground, put my head in my hands. Natsuki sat next to me and rubbed my back.

"Don't worry, your not alone, you know? You got me, I'll be your family or better yet your sister!" I looked up to see her smiling at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Yea that sounds nice but still…", I looked at the ground angerly, "I cant be happy living in a place that tore my family apart. Its there fault aunt lily hasn't return andd its there fault for grandfather's death. This village is nothing but a living hell!"

"Now Aki don't say that. Im sure –" But I cut her off.

"Its true and you know it! I thought being here would be great and fun and it was until they took my only family away from me. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them!!" Then all of a sudden I felt something stir in my stomach. My chakra started to surround me except the color was not mine. It started to hurt me but I couldn't control it. Natsuki looked at me, scared. Why cant I control this? Why wont it go away. Soon I started to grow claws and then the chakra formed a tail. I roared so loud it shook the forest we were in.

"A-Aki? What's happening to you?" Natsuki asked, her eyes filled with shock, worry and frighten.

"I c-cant stop!" I screamed and then I started to destroy all the trees with my claws. Natsuki ran after me and stop right in front of my path.

"You cant do this! You have to control it, don't let it take over you." She shouted. I closed my eyes and did my best to control but when I open my eyes, I was in a chamber with a gate in front of me.

"Where am i?" I heard myself ask. I heard deep heavy breathing from behind the gate. Slowly, I walked towards the gate and jumped back when I saw a big grining face looking at me.

"W-Whoa…" The thing just kept staring at me and then it spoke.

"Hehe welcome to my chamber, Aki. My name is Houkou, the five tailed demon" It said and I took a step back. Demon? I have a demon in me?!

"How did I get here?" It laughed at me.

"You got angrly and I felt your deep desire to kill and destroy everyone in the village. With my power and your skills, we can do it together." My eyes went wide. Destroy the village? The village that open its gate to us. The village that taught me everything I needed to know about ninjutsu. The village that sent aunt lily away. The village that killed my grandfather.

"Yes, that's it. Get more angry, feel the need to destroy!" I felt it alright and it was so strong that I could barely contain it.

"Now release me and we can conquer the village!" Slowly I walked towards the gate, my arm stretched out. I couldn't stop myself, the need was to strong. Just when I was an inch away from releasing the seal, I heard my name being called out over and over again.

"Aki! Aki! Aki, stop! You mustn't do this! Stop it right now!" That's Natsuki I closed my eyes tight and then when I reopen them, I was back. I saw Natsuki standing infront of me, breathing heavly and a few bruises on her body. My eyes went wide. Oh no, please tell me I did not do that to her? Not to my best friend? No…Natsuki eyes went wide and then she smiled at me.

"Welcome back. It was hard holding you back you know?" She said calmly. I looked around and saw I destroyed most of the forest. I put my hands over my mouth to cover my gasp.

"Oh my god, please tell me I didnt do this."

"Ok, you didn't do it." Natsuki said but I knew she was joking. I did this to the forest and to her. I turned to look at her and I felt my eyes water up.

"Oh Natsuki, I'm so sorry!" I ran into her open arms and cried my heart out. All the while, Natsuki just stood there and held me. I never thought I would ever hurt anyone especially Natsuki.

After that day, we decided that it would be better if we got far away from the village as possible. We agreed that we should never go back. So we set out on a adventure as Natsuki called it and looked for a place where we can stay and live our lifes. But it didn't matter how far we went, we were never safe. Ever since I found out that I had a demon in me, it has been very difficult especially when I found out about the blue moon curse. It was very difficult to find a place. We were force to keep moving village to village.

)O(

Aki stopped and looked at the ground sadly. Eeveryone stared at her, waiting for her to continue when she didn't, lily sat next to her and rubbed her back, giving her a reassuring smile. Aki did her best to smile back and then she took a deep dreathe.

"We kept going around, trying to find a place where we can live permantly where I cant hurt anyone. When we finally found a place. Everything was going well. It was a peaceful little house in the forest, a few miles a away from a village. That way we could get food and other supplies. Plus there was a lake and a waterfall close by. Everything was going good so far. Shoot, we even figured away to control my demon's chakra. But of course, there comes to a point where everything good must end…"

)O(

I was cleaning up our little comfy home when I heard the door open.

"Im back with more food! There was a sell going on. I got two ramen cups n the third one was free! I also got a good deal on the vegetable too!" Natsuki said with a huge grin on her face. I looked up from sweeping up the floor and smiles at her.

"Well now what should we have for dinner?" I asked and Natsuki thought about it before she answered.

"How about some soup?" I thought about it and then nodded.

"Okay, soup it is." She smiled at me and got everything ready. We both worked on it and we were done, we ate it all. As soon as we were done with food, we washed the dishes and went to bed.

"Hey aki," Natsuki said as we layed down on our bed.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think your aunt is doing right now?" The question caught me by surprise. I turn my head to look at her to see that she was staring up at the ceiling, her hands behind her head.

"Um…I don't know. Why do you ask?" She just shrugged

"Just wondering. I think she's still out there, looking for you, worried about you." I smiled a bit at that and looked up at the ceiling too.

"That sounds like something she would do." I started to think about the times that we spent together. Just me, aunt lily, and grandfather…Before I knew it I felt something slide down my cheek. Tears. I was crying? But I haven't cried in so long I forgot what it felt like to cry. Natsuki must have notice cause she got up out of her bed and slide into mine. She wiped the tears off my face.

"Don't cry," she said in a soft tone, "I'm sure lily is still alive and if we ever see her, we'll be like a family!" The thought of that made me smile a bit. A family huh? That sounds nice, very nice. I nodded and smiled.

"Yeah, a family" We both smiled at each other and then we fell into a peaceful sleep.

)O(

The next morning was the same as always. We wake up, have breakfast, train, shop and have a little fun. Except I did a little extra training and Natsuki went shopping. I stood in the middle of the lake with my eyes close and my sword in my hand. The sword was aunt lily's but she left it and I decided to bring it with me as a reminder. As I stood there, I concerstrated on balancing my chakra so I can stand on top of the water. Then as soon as I snapped my eyes open, I swung my sword as if there was a person in front of me. I kept swinging but it kinda looked like a dance. My swings were swift, fast and silent. Natsuki is better with bow and arrows. She can always hit the mark no matter what. I tried distracting her but still she kept getting a perfect shot.

As I continued, I decided it would be a good opportunity to try tapping into the demon's chakra. We worked on it too. It was hard but I finally got the hang of it. The demon was very hard to convince to let me use his chakra but we managed to get him to say yes. I closed my eyes and drew out his chakra. When I felt the demon's chakra, I opened my eyes, already knowing that they were blue. This time my attacks were even more powerful and faster. My senses were increased, which was pretty cool. But all of a sudden, I heard screams and people running from the village. My eyes went wide.

Natsuki…

I ran as fast as I could, which was very fast, and as soon as I got to the village, it was up in flames. I gasped as I saw everyone running away and bodies on the floor, not moving. I ran inside and looked around. All the buildings, homes, and stores were on fire. My eyes scanned the area to find Natsuki. I didn't see her anywhere. Maybe she got out? Yeah, she probably did.

But what if she didn't?

What if she was…

I shook my head violently. There was no way she died here. She wouldn't die that easily. But as I looked around shouting out her name, I didn't know what to think. I kept running and looking and then I stopped as I saw to two people in front of me. They were wearing black coats with red clouds on them. I watched them in horror as they killed the people with no mercy. The screams and the blood scared me so much that my legs felt like they could support me up any longer. Then one of them turned around and saw me. He smirked at me and he a clay bird in his hand. The bird flew towards me. Since I was too scared to run, I just watched as it came closer to me and then it exploded right in my face. I went flying backwards and hitting a pole. I moaned in pain and the looked up to see they were coming towards me. I moved as fast as I could and ran away. A puppet got in my way and tried to attack me but I sliced it in half and kept running. More weird bombs exploded around me and I just kept running. I tapped into the demon's chakra and gave myself a speed boast. More puppets got in my way and I continued to destroy them. They surrounded me and I slice them up in one quick movement. When they were down I jumped on top of the burning building and ran on each one, doing my best not to burn myself. When I was safetly far away from the village. I turned around and watched as the village burn to the ground.

Natsuki…

Tears fell down my cheek. Oh please tell me she made it out. I quickly ran to our house, hoping that she was there, safe and sound. But when I burst through the door, I was welcome with silence and complete darkness. I ran around the place, looking for her but she was no where to be seen. When I finally gave up and realized that she was not there, I fell down to my knees and cried. I cried so loud that I bet the whole forest heard my sobs. Then I heard the sound of rain outside. Well what do you know? Even the sky is crying. I part of me was crushed at the thought of Natsuki dead on the cold ground. But another part of me tells me not to give up, that she might actually be alive somewhere, waiting for me. So the next morning, I packed up everything I needed and got ready for a long journey. To find my best friend.

)O(

"After that day, I spent my whole time looking for her, hoping that she will appear like nothing happen, but so far I have failed to locate her." Aki said sadly. Everyone was silent. Lily hugged her tightly.

"I'm so sorry. I should have come back for you sooner. That way none of that would have never happen." She said in a mothery tone. The other ninjas were didn't know what to say.

"Black coats?" Kiba said

"Red clouds?" Hinata said.

"The Akatsuki" Naruto growled. Lily and Aki looked at them.

"Who?" lily asked.

"The Akatsuki are a dangerous group who hunt all who have demons in them and kill people to do so." Naruto said, thinking about what has happen so far with them.

"They wear a black coat with red clouds and destroy everything in their way." Kiba said.

"So the person I saw that day was an Akatsuki?" Aki said with wide eyes.

"It seems that way." Lily stayed quiet for a few moments before she spoke.

"I think I might have heard of them before. People were talking about men in black coats destroying villages. So it was the Akatsuki after all."

"Have you ever met one before?" Hinata asked. Lily shook her head.

"No but the way everyone described them, I'm glad I didn't." She said with a little smile.

"So besides that, have you really have been looking for Natsuki for 4 years?" Hinata ask and Aki nodded.

"That's right. I promised I wouldn't give up till I found her. I know shes alive, I can feel it."

"But its been four years. You should have seen her by now." Lily said. Aki shook her head.

"No, I know Natsuki. She's out there waiting for me. She might be looking for me right now. That's why I refuse to go back to the village. I wont stop till I find her." Aki said, determind. Naruto looked at her for a moment and smirked.

"I know how you feel; looking for someone you care about that you promise you would bring back home, I know exactly how you feel." Hinata and Kiba stared at him, knowing exactly what he was talking about. He didn't give up on finding Sasuke for so long.

"You do?" Aki asked, looking at him. He nodded.

"Yeah, I do. I searched for my best friend for many years as well. It was hard to get him back but in the end, I finally got him home and kept my promise to one of my other friends." Aki stared at him.

"Your just like me aren't you?" Naruto paused for a second but nodded.

"Yea, believe it!" He grinnind and aki couldn't help but smile and so did everyone else.

"If that's true then help me find Natsuki! I'm sure we could find her faster if there was more of us." Aki said and everyone stopped smiling.

"But you have to get back to the village. That's why we're here. The Hokage told us to find you and bring you back with us." Kiba said. She turned and glared at him.

"I told you, I'm not going back till I find her!"

"But sweety, you have too. If the hokage wants you, then you must go" Lily said. Aki shook her head.

"No!" Naruto looked at Aki and said something that shocked everyone.

"Then lets go find her!" Everyone stared at him like he grew ten heads.

"Are you insane, naruto?", kiba said, "Tsunade will kill us if we don't get back soon!"

"Well she's gonna have to wait! Because now we have a new mission! Find Natsuki and bring her with us!" Naruto said and smiled at aki who smiled back.

"But –" Kiba was about to protest but was stop when hinata put her hand on his shoulder, shaking her head.

"Naruto is the leader and we have to listen to him." She said softly. Kiba looked at her and then sighed in defeat.

"Fine, I guess we're just gonna have to explain to tsunade why it took us so long." Naruto and Aki smiled at them. Akamaru barked in agreement

"Well I'm not leaving Aki ever again so let's do it." Lily said with a soft smile.

"Hey, don't forget me! I wanna got as well!" Kiki said jumping up in the air. Aki giggled and picked the little wolf up into her arms.

"Ok, ok, you can come along." Kiki smiled and licked her cheek, making her giggle.

"H-hey that tickles!" Aki laughed. Everyone laughed along with them. Naruto turned to look at hinata.

"Are with us, hinata?" Hinata smiled softly and nodded.

"Yes, of course." They both smiled at each other. Kiba came behind Naruto and put his one arm around his neck.

"Alright, leader, where should we go first?" Instead of Naruto answering, Aki did.

"Let's look at the last place I saw her." Everyone looked at her and nodded.

"Alright! Lets go!" Naruto shouted, running ahead.

"Hey, you don't know where your going! Come back here!" Aki shouted, running after him. Everyone laughed as they watch the two run ahead. The Blue Moon is gone and Aki is now with them. One door closed and another door opens. They might think the hard part is over, but it as only just begun.
