Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and I've been reading too much folk lore (Asian)! And I make a sudden appearance in this chappie!


"Hn?" Sasuke asked, of course she was Uchiha Sasuke. But how did this girl Yumi know?

"Don't pretend!"

"But I'm not…."

Yumi's face glared at Sasuke.

"Fine!"

Yumi just smiled "And plus, you're not the only one that has a bloodline limit. Well, so do I, I can talk to ghosts, or recognize the dead. You're not the only one that came back, either."

"But how did you come back?" Sasuke wanted to know. She needed to know, because this girl…?

"Oh, I was never dead, I'm also a shinigami, just another puzzle piece, before this "mission" you've never heard of us right?"

"You and Yuki?" she replied.

"True, me and Yuki are never human, and never will be, unless… As I said to you before we are rivals, she's the good one, and I'm the other."

"So?"

"Well, our king Enma, let us out to guard you. If we succeed we'll come back as mortals, if you do, than we'll just have to stay as shinigami forever. As shinigami we had to get a mortal boy to fall in love with us."

She twirled around "Guess, we're enemies too!" and smiled in a creepy way.

Sasuke was confused "Whey did you want to destroy Konaha then?"

"Because, Konaha killed me, of course. They sent shinobi to kill us. Yuki wanted to forget, and live and let live. That perfect brat! But I wanted revenge, so you see Sasu-chan!"

She skipped around the room laughing without humor.

"As I destroy Konaha, I will get a subordinate to injure Naruto! But I will save him! So he will fall in love with me like in fairy tales! And then I'll "

Awkward Butterfly appeared "Um…Yumi-chan, you don't tell people your plans"

"Oh you can hear that?" Yumi said glaring at Sasuke.

"Every single word" she said dryly. "Oh!" Yumi sighed. (that was fun to write!)

But then she smirked, and pulled out her sword. "Since I don't have to be a mere mortal, in front of the them. I can show you my true potential."

Her purple hair started to go back in her head, and her face looked more demonic, by the second/

"Hn" Sasuke replied, she was looking out of the window, someone was watching.

The "person" turned around and waved?

"Yo!" he was waving, a pale white haired boy. He was smiling, "Good for you!"

Yumi yelled down "Baka! You made me lose five million yuan!"

Sasuke looked confused, but the boy, "You won me five million yuan. I bet her that you would last more then a week, and she bet a day! Many others are also betting, I'm getting a fortune, so I'll help you."

She still looked confused, so the boy gave a sigh "I'm the shinigami that you met"

"I knew that!" she said, a blush coming to her face.

Naruto meanwhile was sitting, he really needed to think. Yumi was really cute, she was down to earth, but she was with the Sound.

But Saya on the other side was beautiful. She was really kind, and can hold her own against Yumi. But she was unreachable, too powerful. Too perfect, just like his best friend.

Her presence was so similar, like Sakura's, but she was too distant. Yumi was there, she was foreign. But Naruto might be able to understand her, and reach out. Of course he still likes Saya, but Yumi was there.


Naruto doesn't know what to do! And Yumi's just being playful. Sorry, about it if it's too confusing. I'm listening to "Gotta Get Thru This" and it's stuck in my head. So if you were listening to it, and reading the last part, they might just sound similar! Thanks for the reviews!
