So... it's been like years since I've done anything with my story. I've had all these chapter written up, just never got around to putting them up. So to kick things off, I got 3 new installments to Ying Yang coming at you!

Chapter 4

I Can't Remember

"You seem distracted Rekisuu." I looked up at Ebisu who was standing in a tree. Training was harder now that the basics were over. "Is there something wrong?" He came and sat down next to me.

"It's nothing." I closed my eyes. I was here for how long? I think it has been almost a year now. I've lost track.

"It doesn't seem like nothing." I sighed and looked up at the clouds.

"It's nothing you'll understand." How would anyone understand? I see things, things that just don't make sense. Everything seems so familiar but I just can't remember. Why is this happening to me?

"Well then, come on. Start training if you're not going to talk." He stood up and disappeared into the trees. I sighed as I surveyed my surroundings. There, I turned quickly and threw a couple of shuriken. There was a clang of metal as his shuriken deflected mine.

I preformed hand seals, "Katon, Goukakyuu no Jutsu." As the flame went over the surrounding area, Ebisu jumped and landed behind me. Instinct told me to throw a punch but before I had time to react I was pinned.

"Didn't we discus that we wouldn't use that jutsu?" I gave a sigh. We did, but I liked using it, even though it used a lot of chakra. It took me sometime to master, but I was proud of my accomplishment. Thank you Sasuke for teaching it to me!

"Hai, sorry." He released me and I rubbed my neck.

"Well if you're that interested in doing fire type jutsu's, then I suggest that we work on that." I looked up with slight surprise. "But, since they tend to use a large amount of chakra, and you're still not very skilled with your chakra control, I suggest we work on your chakra control first." I sighed, why is nothing easy?

"What are you going to teach me now?" My expression dulled as I tried to imagine what boring thing was to come next. My bored expression earned me a small scowl.

"To walk on water." I looked at him with disbelief. "Observe. You gather…" (A/N: People you know the drill on how to walk on water.)

I looked on with disbelief as Ebisu walked out onto the nearby pond. There had to be some trick to this. There was no way that he was doing this.

"Try it." I shook my head as I stood at the edge of the pond. I closed my eyes for a second. Images passed my view, I saw Naruto walking on the water, fighting someone, but I couldn't see who. I opened my eyes quickly and looked at the water. There is no way I can do this.

'Rekisuu you can do it, trust me.' I looked around with surprise at the voice. That voice, it was the same voice as before. But where and who?

I followed Ebisu's instructions and concentrated hard before I took at step out onto the water. I prepared myself for the cold plunge, but looked with surprise as I stood on the water. I did it? I looked up and could tell Ebisu was surprise by his dumbfounded face.

"You…" He pointed to me. "There's no way you could possibly…."

"It actually doesn't seem as hard as I thought it would be." I shrugged my shoulders as I slowly walked over to him.

"I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it on their first try." He examined me for a second.

"Well there's a first for everything." I shrugged as I started to walk back to shore; didn't want to risk going in. "I think I'm going to leave now."

"Wait." I turned as he quickly walked over to me. "What are you doing tonight?" His face turned a slight shade of pink. Really? Really now?

"Nothing." I turned and started walking away.

"Would you care to join me?" No! I was bad at rejecting, I always was. That's why I had my fair share of bad boyfriends.

"I guess," I said hesitantly scratching my cheek.

I could feel my face becoming hot as I sat across from Ebisu in the restaurant he brought me to. I wanted to leave, but at the same time I didn't want to be rude. I sat there avoiding his gaze. I never met his glasses once.

"So…" He dragged the word out a little. "What's new with you?"

"Nothing, how about you?" I said trying to be casual as I turned my gaze to the window that was next to us. My eyes scanned the dimly lit faces of passing people. I hope no one sees.

"Same here I guess." He gave a small chuckle obviously not knowing what to say. I looked back and faked a small smile. I met his glasses and looked away quickly. I can't tell what he's thinking behind those things. Just looking at them makes my cringe.

"Well well, who do we have here?" I froze at hearing a familiar voice come from the window. I slowly turned my head and stared at none other than Kakashi.

"Hi Kakashi." I said slowly.

"Ebisu?" He looked with surprise at his friend. Ebisu just shrugged in return with a smile.

"So what brings you by?" I asked casually. I turned my face away from Ebisu and gave him a pleading look.

"Well I came…" He paused for a second and looked at my face. He looked at me with amusement before continuing. "Sorry to intrude on you Ebisu, but the Hokage needs to talk to Rekisuu." He gave an apologetic look to his friend.

"I understand. Maybe another time Rekisuu?" He looked at me questionably.

"Maybe." I said scooting out of the seat. I gave a nod of thanks before walking casually out. As soon as I was out the door I jumped to the roof and took off.

"What were you two doing?" I looked back at Kakashi who was following me lazily. I stopped on a tree branch that was before the forest.

"I'm bad at rejecting, okay?" I said in a huff. He laughed at my remark. "It's not funny!" I said harshly.

"I thought it was strange for you to be there with him." I could see a smile forming under his mask.

"Anyway, thanks for the save." I nodded my head in thanks. "I would have been in deep shit if it wasn't for you." I sighed slightly. "Want to go home?"

"Actually I had something I needed to do, so I'll see you later." He jumped to another branch and gave a small wave.

"Later." I called after him. Okay, so he can come in handy sometimes. I smiled to myself as I jumped to the ground and started towards home.

I sat at my desk in my room with the lamp on. I looked at the parchment before me and was slowly thinking back to my memories. I slowly started writing out an old poem that I loved. Finished. I smiled as I framed it and hung it above my bed where I could see it.

'What an odd poem.' I sat up quickly and looked around my room.

"Who said that?" I said harshly as I reached for my kunai pouch.

'Me.' The voice said in an almost playful manner.

"Who's me?" I grasped my kunai as I continued to survey my bedroom.

'No need, it won't do you any good.' That voice!

"Who are you? What's your name?" I shivered slightly as a chill went up my arm.

'My name is Aimi. I doubt you know me, but I know a lot about you.' I stared at nothingness around me.

"Am I crazy?" I asked suddenly looking around the room again. I think I'm hearing voices.

'What makes you think that?'

"Well I'm talking to the air to start." I stated as I still looked around my room. I suddenly felt a great power emitting from my chest. I could feel something rising out of my shirt. The ring slipped out with a white hue around it. "What?"

'Surprised?' The voice said with a chuckle.

"I'm talking to a ring?" I removed the chain from around my neck and held the ring firmly. "I must be crazy."

'No you're not.' The voice chuckled. Suddenly it stopped. 'He's coming. Hurry and hide the ring. We can talk later, he must not know of me.' The glowing stopped. I did as I was told and quickly slipped the ring back under my shirt.

The door opened and Kakashi stood there observing my room. "Who was in here?" He asked with curiosity.

"No one, why?" I asked trying to stay calm and causal.

"You where talking to someone." He tilted his head slightly in confusion.

"I think you're hearing things. I wasn't talking to anyone." I said playfully. "Go get your ears checked."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive." I flopped back down on my bed and stared at my poem again.

"What's this?" He walked over and observed my poem. He read it out loud,

"The Sick Rose

O'Rose, thou art sick!

The invisible worm

That flies in the night

Has found thy bed

Of crimson joy:

And his dark secret love.

Does thy life destroy." (A/N: this is by William Blake.) He looked at it then looked at me with confusion.

"What? I like that poem." I sat up and stared at it with satisfaction.

"It is a little odd." He scratched the back of neck. He shrugged and walked back out the door. I chuckled at his reaction.

I was sitting silently at the front desk; Hachi was out back taking care of some business. This was much easier than my old job. There were no people, making it an easy day. My gaze landed at the door as something crossed my vision. An orange and white tabby walked by and that is when it hit me. I could feel the tears burning at my eyes again.

"T.C." I whispered to myself. I had completely forgotten about my love. I placed my head in my hands as tears started to leak out.

"Rekisuu?" I stopped at the sudden voice. Why now? Why of all times did he have to show up now?

"What is it Kakashi?" I said through my hands.

"Could you at least look at me?" Hhe had a slightly annoyed tone. I sighed; he can't see me like this. I slide slowly to the corner of my chair and started to motion that I would take me hands away. The shift in weight caused the chair to tip and I fell with a thud on the ground. Ignoring the pain, I quickly wiped all the tears away.

"Ow." I said as I looked up rubbing my sore back.

"You ok?" He walked around the desk and offered me his hand.

"I'll be fine." I said as I stood the chair back up and sat back down.

"Are you sure you're ok?" He gave a look of concern.

"I'm fine, a little fall like that won't do that much damage." I said annoyed.

"Not that." He paused and looked at me still with concern. "You were crying again." I looked up at him with surprise, but quickly looked away, my gaze deepening.

"You knew?" I said in a hushed tone.

"What were you thinking about?" He asked sitting down next to me.

"It was…" I stopped for a second before continuing. "Back home I had a pet cat. His name was T.C, and it just dawned on me…" I stopped again feeling tears burning my eyes again. "That…" Kakashi placed a finger on my lips, silencing me.

"I understand." He said in a calming manner.

Images once again passed my view and I saw a scary looking guy with snake like eyes and pale skin. He looked evil and it was frightening.

"Rekisuu, stay with me." I blinked back to reality as I head Kakashi's voice. He had his hands grasped firmly around my arms. I shook my head again.

"Orochimaru?" I said in my state of confusion. I think that was that scary guy's name.

Kakashi looked sternly at me. "How do you know that name?"

"I don't know." I scratched my head trying to think.

"You must have heard it somewhere. No one talks about him, so who told you?" He scanned my face.

"No one told me, I just know it somehow." I said with confusion.

"But you are not from this world." He said in a hushed tone as if thinking out loud.

"Look, I don't know how, I just do!" I said harshly as anger boiled in me. "You don't have random flashes of images showing you things you don't want to see!" I stopped and clasped my hand over my mouth. I didn't just say that! No, no, no, I wasn't supposed to share that information with anyone.

"You what?" He looked at me with surprise.

"What is going on out here?" Hachi stepped through the door with a stern look. She stared at us with surprise. Kakashi with his stern/ surprised look, and me with my 'oh shit' look.

"Hachi I think I'm going to go for today." I said standing up. "But I need to talk to you first." I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back through the doors.

"What's going on?" She looked at me with confusion.

"Listen," I said in a hushed tone. "Stall him for me please. I just need to get away." She gave a nod saying she understood.

"Well you can't leave till you finish cleaning the cages." She said out loud. I looked at her with confusion, till she winked at me.

"Fine." I said quickly and I ran to some empty cages and rattled them a little to give the impression that I was doing something. She walked back out the doors with a smile.

"She'll just be a few minutes." She said pleasantly.

I quickly made my way to the back of the store and out the back door. I quickly took to the roofs thinking of a place to hide. Somewhere that Kakashi would never think to look. I know!

I landed in front of the entrance to the hollow structure of the mountain. I remember seeing it but I had never been in here before. I quickly walked in anyway and soon found myself in an open room with the only light coming from a couple of holes towards the ceiling. I sighed as I fell against the wall slowly sliding down till I was sitting.

"I can't believe I just said that." I said to myself with a sigh.

"Who's in here?" I looked up and saw an anbu member land in front of me.

"It's Rekisuu." I said solemnly.

"Oh, it's you again?" I looked up and noticed that it was the anbu that I had left the thug with. The one with the bear mask.

"Hey could you do me a favor?"

"Does it involve taking care of wounded thugs?" He asked in a playful manner. I gave a small chuckle.

"No, I just want to know if you could find Kurenai and tell her to come here."

"I don't know…" He started slowly.

"Please." I looked pleadingly at him.

"I guess it would only take a few minutes." He said to himself. "Sure." He prepared himself to leave.

"Wait; make sure this information doesn't get to anyone else but her." I said sternly.

"Hai." He disappeared.

I sighed with relief and hoped that he would do as I asked. Almost immediately after the ANBU had left, I felt a surge of power go through me.

'You told him?' Aimi seemed annoyed.

"It just slipped out." I said harshly in my defense.

'Baka! No one was to know that you could see those images!' I looked down ashamed.

"I know, but sometimes things slip out." I said in a solemn voice. "I didn't mean to."

'You don't even remember what those images are, do you?' I looked back to the cavern with a surprised look.

"Am I supposed to know?" I asked confused. "I hardly know anyone here. How am I supposed to know who these people I see are or what the events I see mean?"

'Well I can't help you; you need to remember on your own.'

"Why?" I asked. I just need to know. Even if it was just to get a little bit of clarity on what was happening.

'Well let me give you some information that might help before Kurenai comes.' I nodded for her to go on. 'You never really forget someone after you meet them, or for your case see them.' Then there was silence.

"Aimi?" I looked around waiting to hear her voice. Instead, I heard footsteps coming. I quickly found a rock and swiftly hid behind it. I know it was a stupid place to hide when most of the people here can sense my presence anyway.

"Rekisuu?" I heard that familiar voice of curiosity. I stood from my hiding place with a sigh.

"Hey." I gave a small smile.

"You called?" She looked at me with curiosity.

"Well I just need to get away from Kakashi for a little while." I stopped thinking of what I was saying. I hope this doesn't come out in the wrong manner. "I was wondering if I could spend the night at your place."

"Still living with him, eh?" She looked at me with a smile. "What'd he do this time?"

"Nothing, I just need to have some alone time." I gave a snicker to lighten the mood, "You know how hard it is when you live with a lazy pest."

"I see what you mean," She chuckled. "Sure, want me to tell Kakashi?"

"No!" I said quickly. "He would just come and try to bring me back." I said slowing my speech. "I don't want any hint of my whereabouts to escape from between you, me, and the ANBU guy." I looked hopefully at her.

"Ok then, we should hurry to my place." She laughed and motioned for me to follow.

We arrived at the door to her apartment. I gave a sigh as no one had noticed us on our way here. She started to unlock her door when we heard the doorknob next to us start to turn. Kurenai quickly opened the door and shoved me in just in time.

"Hey Kurenai." Gai's voice came from outside.

"Hey Gai." She stepped in the door. "Bye Gai." She said playfully as she closed the door.

"That was close." I said as I slipped off my sandals and walked to sit on the couch.

"I almost forgot!" I turned and saw her face starting to turn a slight shade of pink.

"What?" I looked at her with confusion.

"Asuma is coming over tonight." She rubbed her head. "He will surely tell Kakashi that you were here if he sees you." She sighed as she looked at me.

"I understand I'll stay quiet." I said giving my own sigh.

"Sorry." She looked at me apologetically.

"When's he going to arrive?" I looked at the clock.

"Actually…" There was a knock at the door. She gave a small smile and quickly turned to the door. "Quick, go hide in the spare bedroom." She shooed her hand at me. I ran down the small hall and opened the door. As soon as it was shut I head Kurenai's slightly panic voice. "Hello Asuma."

"Hey." There was a short pause. "You alright? You look like your hiding something."

"Oh no, no, everything is fine." The panic in your voice subsiding.

I sighed as I walked over and flopped down on the bed. Well this sucks, at least I was away from Kakashi. I'm going to need some time to think of what to say when I finally confront him. Maybe he will just forget all about it. Hopefully.

A few days later, I was hiding in a tree. Kurenai was kind enough to put up with me the extra days. I still wasn't ready to face Kakashi. When I think about it, I really can't find the right words. I sighed, damn it all.

"Rekisuu, there you are." I held my breath for a second but soon released it when Ebisu appeared crouching in front of me.

"Hey." I said tensing up slightly. The awkwardness from our little "date" hadn't worn off me yet.

"About the other day…" He started. Oh- man, not now. I don't have Kakashi to pull me out of this one. "It seemed like I put you in an awkward position; me being your teacher and all." He looked away and I could see his face turning that slight pink color again. "I wanted to make it up to you." He looked back still with the same face as always. Damn it all, I can best know the emotions of others when I'm looking into their eyes.

"Don't move." I said as I leant forward a little. His face started to turn a red color. I reached forward and removed his dark glasses. Finally, I can have some clarity on what he's thinking. He seemed flustered with many emotions, and I didn't know where to start.

"What are you doing?" He looked at his glasses then back to me with confusion.

"I have never seen what's behind your glasses. I guess I was just curious." I leant back against the tree with satisfaction. His eyes turned to show me that he was embarrassed and ashamed. He took his glassed back and held them in his hand examining them. His face turning slightly redder.

"I just thought…" He stopped thinking. He looked back up at me trying to hide his emotions. He was better at it when he was wearing his glasses.

"Rekisuu!" Kakashi appeared on the branch next to us. He stopped and stared at Ebisu then shook his head. "I've been looking for you." He grabbed my arm and looked sternly at me. "It's been days since I last saw you and I don't like that." He jumped to another branch dragging me with him.

"Let go that hurts." I struggled against his grip. I looked back and just saw Ebisu's confused face.

"I need to talk to you about that thing you told me." He said in a serious tone. "Now."

He dragged me into the house and sat me down in a chair. He walked around me like he was interrogating me or something.

"Where have you been all this time?"

"Somewhere." I looked down at my shirt with a sheepish grin. I could tell he was narrowing his eyes at me.

"Regardless, about what you told me." I could see his feet stop in front of me. He lifted my chin and stared into my eyes. "What images are you talking about? What are you seeing?"

"I don't know." I said in a hushed voice. I broke our eye contact.

"How can you not know what you are seeing?" His voice was raised.

"I don't know, I just don't remember!" I yelled back. His eye stared into my eyes with such fieriness that it scared me.

"Remember what?" He asked harshly.

"I don't know, okay! I just get these images and I don't know if they are from the past, present, or future!" Tears were burning in the back of my eyes. "I just don't remember what they're from!" I could feel my body wanting to shake from all the emotion, but I didn't want to give in. This was the reason why I didn't want to face him.

He stepped back and sat on the table. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to prevent the tears from seeping out. I just don't know anything anymore. My eyes flew upon as a sudden wave of images hit me. I saw Kakashi and his forehead protector was up revealing a red eye. It came from…

"Rekisuu!" I heard a voice. But I know where it came from. It came from… "Rekisuu!" A sudden shake…

"Obito!" I yelled as I suddenly saw that I was in the kitchen again. My eyes focused on Kakashi's surprised face. I placed my head in my hands as tears started to fall again. "Why me?"

"That name…" His voice was distant, sad. "How?"

"I don't know." I cringed ready for another fight.

"My eye?" He asked solemnly.

"Sharingan," I said slowly, cringing a little more. His arms were around me before I knew what was happening.

"I'm sorry." I looked up with surprise. He was hugging me?

First installment down! Please tell me what you think. Thanks!
