--

Tenshi woke up and stared at the ceiling, it was strange when Rai was away and with Kakashi gone she didn't know what to do with herself.

She rolled out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

/

She got out of the shower and dried herself off, looking down; she noticed that the seal appeared to almost be moving.

She frowned and touched it lightly, it was warm, the skin around it was cool but the mark was warm.

'You know.' she thought.

A deep echoing laughter answered her.

She smiled into the mirror 'This will be interesting then, I trust you plan to assist me?'

'I thought it over and decided that I enjoy living, though one can barely call what I have been reduced to, living.'

'Bitch, bitch, bitch. Answer the question Kohta.'

'Ah, you remember my name, should I be flattered?'

'Hardly.'

'Hmm, you always did have a smart remark for me. Very well then, I shall answer you.'

'And?'

'Death is unacceptable, we fight as one.'

'Excellent, it soon will begin.'

Kohta just laughed.

Tenshi looked at her reflection and laughed softly.

It was almost like the old days, the team was back together again.

--

Jiraiya stood downstairs and nodded to her "We stick together all day today."

Tenshi sighed; she missed her pervy sage already.

"But I really think you should go to the bathing huts today, you know, to bathe."

She laughed "There you are I was getting worried that the pervertedness was a facade."

"Never." he sounded almost insulted.

She grinned and let out a sigh "Did you get some sleep?"

"A little."

"Want to nap?"

He glared at her "What are you implying? I assure you that while I may be a young 50, I do not need naps."

She rolled her eyes and poured some coffee "What are the plans for today, and no, bathing is not a plan, besides I already had a shower."

"Then today we train."

She nodded "Sounds fun."

--

They stood in the forest clearing and Tenshi looked around "What are we doing?"

Jiraiya sighed "I already told you, we're training."

"I knew that, what are we doing?"

"Practicing that Sharingan of yours."

She frowned "How?"

He threw a kunai at her.

She grabbed it and blinked "Did you just try to kill me?"

"No"

"Oh Kay"

"Now, activate those eyes and let's get started."

/

They practiced the Sharingan's most widely known ability first.

Jiraiya would perform some standard jutsu's and Tenshi would use her eyes to copy them.

They did this for an hour.

Tenshi was panting slightly at the amount of jutsu's she had done, but other then that she appeared to be perfectly fine, as though she had just taken a stroll through the forest.

Jiraiya was the same.

By unspoken agreement they took a small break.

While they rested he told her stories about Naruto and Sasuke, he even told a couple about Kakashi.

They barely noticed the time passing, Tenshi was caught up in the stories and Jiraiya enjoyed the fact he was sitting and talking to a pretty woman without having to pay for anything.

/

Tenshi let out a soft sigh "I want more tales tonight, but for now."

He nodded "Now we train part two of the Sharingan."

/

Part two involved her perception, ability to track fast moving objects and even predict the subsequent events of those objects.

Basically Jiraiya threw an entire arsenal of weaponry at her and set up various traps.

Unfortunately he didn't have the reputation of being one of the legendary Sannin for nothing.

/

Tenshi jumped and kicked off a nearby tree.

She ran through the forest and jumped over three trip wires, she stopped suddenly and five kunai flew at her, she ducked and continued to run.

She reached the lake and stopped.

Looking around she bent down and scooped up a handful of water then, sensing something she started to turn.

SPLASH

Tenshi surfaced and cursed.

Jiraiya stood on the bank and smiled at her "Almost, but I won."

She started to swim over when her legs hit something; she let out a groan and muttered "Trip wire."

She was dragged under the water.

She grabbed her kunai and sliced at the wires, they stayed in place.

She gently touched one and pulled her hand back, blood washed away from the small but deep cut on her finger.

She mentally sighed and tried an escaping jutsu, nothing happened. Or so she thought.

Tenshi reached down and grabbed her sai, then she frowned, she could have sworn the wires were getting tighter.

'Crap' she thought, they were getting tighter.

She put her sai back and reached down for a dagger, she started sawing at the wire.

The part wrapped around her legs had tightened to her skin, it started to slice through.

Sadly her dagger wasn't doing the same, instead it snapped.

She stared at the hilt in surprise; the wire had sliced cleanly through.

Her eyes widened as the wire tightened more, blood started to rise up through the water, worse she was nearly out of breath.

She swum down using only her arms and found where the wire was tied, it was attached to a kunai.

She pulled the kunai free and started to swim to the surface.

She broke through and gasped for breath.

Jiraiya stood over her and pulled her out, she gasped something.

"What?" He asked.

"Legs." She gasped.

He looked down and cursed, the wire was still tightening.

He took her to the bank and unraveled it.

She lay on the ground panting for breath "You suck."

He let out a laugh "You really thought a simple escaping jutsu would work?"

"Seemed like... a good... idea... at the... time."

He grabbed his bag and pulled out some bandages "Let's get you cleaned up then." He grabbed her leg.

"Not.. Bloody likely" she muttered, she sat up and grabbed the bandages from him.

He sighed "I tried."

She wrapped her legs and let out a sigh of her own "You did a good... job with the traps."

He smiled "Impressed?"

She nodded.

"Yes, I've impressed her, now it's time to really show her what I can do." He stood up and started to make various poses.

Tenshi blinked "What the hell are... you doing?"

He flexed his arms "Impressed yet?"

She lowered her head and went back to bandaging her legs.

"I know, I make many women speechless this way."

She bit her lip to stop from herself from replying to that.

He finished his flexing and smiled "Time to practice part three."

"Yay." She mumbled sarcastically.

"I said, time to practice part three."

"And I said yay."

"Part three."

"Yay."

He frowned "Show a little enthusiasm."

She glared at him "I have sliced up legs, no breath and you want enthusiasm?"

He nodded.

She groaned and flopped onto the ground.

"Part three."

She ignored him.

"Part three."

"YAY!" She yelled.

"That's better, let's go."

/

Part three involved her hypnotizing him and suggesting actions and thoughts for him to do, this allowed her, while using part one and two, to perfectly mimic his every move, even before he did it. It made it appear as though she could see the future.

It took several hours for her to get it right.

Jiraiya proved to be hard to hypnotize, the fact they were chasing each other added to the difficulties.

Eventually Tenshi caught him and got him, she implanted several suggestions in his mind.

He repeated them exactly, but she was ready for him.

/

He threw a kunai at her, she smiled and jumped out of the way, it tripped one of the wires and she jumped again to avoid them.

He appeared in front of her and grabbed her arm "Ahhuh, got you."

She grinned and disappeared.

He blinked and looked around, splashing could be heard.

He ran to the lake "Got you."

A young beautiful woman gasped and turned around, she was naked.

Jiraiya smiled "My dear, I am so sorry, allow me to help you."

"Find some clothes?" She whispered.

He nodded "Anything."

She smiled shyly "Thank you."

He looked around for her clothes, she let out a squeal, and he looked over "What is it?"

She pointed to the water "I saw something, it touched my leg."

He puffed up and walked over "Let me see for you."

He took another step and felt something tighten around his ankles.

Tenshi pulled him down into the earth and stood over him "You actually fell for that?"

He looked over and saw there was no naked woman in the water "Illusion?"

She nodded.

He sighed "Could you do it again? Only this time without the trap?"

--

It was night and Tenshi sat by her window and let out a sigh, she missed her daughter and her man.

Jiraiya was downstairs talking to Tsunade, she had come over to see the scroll Tenshi had received, and by the grim way she had acted Tenshi knew she suspected it could be the truth.

What would it mean for Sasuke? Either way he couldn't be allowed to learn about it, chances were he could turn his hatred to the village.

Tenshi knew he wasn't settled enough yet to leave his revenge behind.

She wondered how everyone was going and if they were safe.

--

Sasuke stood by the window and stared at the sky, something big was going to happen.

He wasn't sure whether it was going to happen on the mission or back at the village, he hoped it was the mission.

/

Naruto was snoring away, his dreams included Sakura making him ramen and telling him how amazing he was.

He was leaning in to kiss her when she changed into Rai.

Rai had tears running down her face and was pointing to something; she was screaming "Mummy, mummy wake up, wake up mummy."

He looked down and fell to his knees, Tenshi was lying bloody and bruised on the ground, she wasn't breathing.

Rai looked up at him "It's all your fault."

"No, no it can't be." He whispered.

He whimpered in his sleep and rolled over "Tenshi." He mumbled.

Sasuke looked at him and back to the night.

/

Sakura was dreaming of Sasuke, he was leaning in to kiss her.

His lips gently touched her and he whispered "Tenshi."

Sakura pulled back "WHAT?"

Kakashi stood in a room; it was empty save for a coffin in the middle.

She walked over to it and looked in, Tenshi lay dead inside.

Sakura let out a sob "No."

Tenshi's eyes opened "It's your fault."

Sakura whimpered "I'm so sorry, Tenshi I didn't mean it, I was just so jealous of you and Sasuke, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It's too late, I'm already dead."

Blood filled the coffin and spilled over the sides.

"NO. TENSHI." She yelled.

/

Sasuke's head turned, he could have sworn he heard Sakura yell Tenshi's name.

He was glad the mission started in the morning; he wanted to get back to Tenshi and Rai as soon as he could.

/

Iruka rolled over and muttered "Tenshi?"

Tenshi lay next to him; he smiled and reached out to touch her.

She was cold.

He pulled his hand back and felt something wet and sticky on his fingers.

Blood.

He sat up and stared down at Tenshi, only it was no longer Tenshi.

Rai looked at him with horror filled eyes "Iruka-sensei, why?"

He frowned "Why what Rai?" Suddenly they were both standing in the lounge room.

She looked at the ground behind her "Why?"

Tenshi lay dead on the ground, her hand outstretched to Rai.

He ran to her body and knelt down, she had no pulse.

He knew she was dead but he had to try.

"Why?" Rai whispered.

He looked back at her and his eyes widened in horror.

Rai was bleeding, a kunai lay deep in her stomach, the blood ran down her sides "Why Iruka-sensei? Why?"

She fell to the ground.

/

Iruka woke up and gasped for air, that had to have been the worst nightmare he'd had in the last two years.

Up until Naruto graduated and they sorted their problems, Iruka had suffered from the occasional nightmare about his parents.

He realized he was sweating and got up for a glass of water.

He heard Rai whimper and walked into her room.

/

Mummy was pushing her on a swing and daddy was playing with the puppy she had seen on the funny old mans stall that day; she laughed and yelled "Higher mummy, higher."

Her mummy slowed down instead.

Rai looked behind her and saw the mean men that had chased her into the forest the day mummy had found her.

She frowned; she had thought mummy had killed the bad men?

The ugly one walked up to her mother and pulled out a katana, as he brought it down she noticed daddy was missing and so was the puppy.

The sky got dark and she looked back, her mummy's head came off her shoulders and bounced on the ground before rolling to her.

Rai screamed.

/

Iruka sat next to her and rubbed her back "Rai, shhhh, its okay your safe."

Rai woke up and screamed "MUMMY!"

Iruka stopped and wondered the odds of them both having nightmares the same night.

He sighed and rubbed her back again "Mummy's on a mission, remember? But Uncle Iruka is here."

She sobbed and hugged him.

"Want to tell me what it was about?"

Rai told him.

Iruka rocked her gently and whispered "It was just a bad dream, go back to sleep."

As she fell to sleep he wondered what the odds of them both having a dream in which Tenshi died.

/

Kakashi wasn't sleeping; he was racing back to the village.

Tenshi was in danger, he knew it.

The mission was a fake and he didn't want to consider how they had been discovered Tenshi's whereabouts so soon.

He only hoped that his woman and daughter were safe.

He also hoped that what ever was going on wouldn't happen until he got back.

He moved faster.

--

The next day passed reasonably normal without anything too strange happening, though Iruka, Tsunade, Jiraiya and even Shizune had all claimed to have had horrible nightmares in which she had died or was dead.

She was horrified when Iruka told her about Rai's dream, she wanted to find her daughter and hug her right then dammit.

They talked her out of it by pointing out that if anything happened Rai would be at risk.

So other then that the day was relatively normal.

/

Tenshi sat down and sighed, her legs where healed, thanks to Kohta.

It was time for dinner and she was starving, but first it was time for a shower.

Training with Jiraiya was sweaty work.

/

Jiraiya sat down and let out a sigh, something was in the air and it wasn't the smell of women and flowers.

A knock sounded on the door and he frowned and got up.

He opened it and smiled at Kakashi's closest and prettiest neighbor "Hello."

She smiled shyly and looked a little embarrassed "Hello, I'm really sorry to bother you this late."

"Not a problem, what can I do for you?"

She blushed "Well I sort of locked myself out of my house and was wondering if either you or Kakashi Hatake could get in there and open it for me."

He smiled "Sure, I'll be right there."

/

He walked upstairs and opened the bathroom door.

Tenshi swore and covered herself "Dammit pervy sage, what's the rule about me showering? Don't come in!"

He smiled and laughed "Not to worry, your neighbor locked herself out and needs me to help her."

She sighed "That's the second time this month."

He turned "I'll be back in two minutes."

She nodded and waited until he closed the door before continuing.

/

Jiraiya walked next to the woman and smiled "So which house is yours?"

She pointed to the left "We can take a shortcut through the forest."

He nodded.

/

They reached the middle of the forest when she stopped.

He frowned "Something wrong?"

She nodded.

Two men walked into the clearing "The legendary Sannin Jiraiya."

Jiraiya glared "About time you two came out of hiding, why are you following this pretty woman?"

"Because we wish to."

Jiraiya glared at one of the men "You sound familiar."

The woman whimpered.

Both men stepped into the light of the moon and Jiraiya cursed.

One man was split into two different colors, one half white and one half black, the other looked almost shark like, he had pale blue skin and a gill like facial structure.

Kisame smiled and showed his sharp triangular teeth "Which of you wishes to die first?"

Jiraiya smiled back "I was about to ask you two the same thing."

--

Tenshi got out of the shower and dressed, she walked downstairs and frowned "Pervy sage?"

No one answered; she reached down for her weapon, though she couldn't sense anyone she knew someone was there.

"I wouldn't bother going for your weapons, they are useless against me."

She turned to her left "Itachi Uchiha."

He nodded "Tenshi Uchiha."

She raised and eyebrow "I have a feeling this isn't going to turn into a happy clan reunion."

He nodded once more "How wise of you."

"Where is Jiraiya?"

"He is out playing with Kisame and Zetsu."

She let out a sigh, so much for that one.

He looked around "This is more then I expected from the copy ninja."

She looked at him and gritted her teeth.

"I see. So maybe after I kill you and take the eight tails I will stay and finish off Hatake."

Her eyes flashed rage but she did nothing.

She knew she had to get out into the open, while she may have slight advantage of knowing the house layout she lacked space to fight.

She quickly went upstairs and jumped out her window.

She ran into the forest.

Itachi appeared in front of her.

She stopped and pulled out her sai "I know the truth Itachi."

He said nothing, he just watched her.

She took a step left "Tell me, how much of your soul did it cost you when the Hokage ordered you to kill the Uchiha's?"

He blinked in surprise "I don't know what you are talking about; I simply wanted to test my abilities."

She laughed "Liar, we both know you were under orders to kill the whole clan, Sasuke included."

He stopped mid hand sign and Tenshi let out a mental sigh of relief, she had timed it well, any later and she would have been caught in an illusion.

They both looked around, someone was coming.

Itachi looked at her "We both know this is true, yes, but that only gives me greater reason to see you dead."

Tenshi trembled at the venom in his words "Why Itachi?"

He lowered his eyes "As I said, we both have knowledge of the events of the past, but knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions." He looked back at her.

Tenshi took a step back and tried to look away, but she was too late.

"TSUKUYOMI."

In the distance Kakashi yelled "TENSHI!"
