Natsumi was nervous as she led Yushiro through town. The questions she was going to be asking were personal, and were obviously things that no one but her knew about him. She knew of a place they could talk without being seen or heard. In a small clearing in the woods, she had made a tree house when she was younger. It was still intact, and more than big enough for the two to fit inside. Yushiro looked annoyed, but still followed her up the latter into the tree house. Once they were inside, they sat down.

There was silence between the two. He looked like he was waiting for her to do something, so she sighed.

"Yushiro, why doesn't anyone believe me about your wings... why am I the only person who knows?" Her voice had become serious.

"I don't like showing people my wings, unless their family is dead." He said simply.

"What? That doesn't even make sense..." She said sounding irritated.

"Because I understand lots of things everyone doesn't know." He crossed his arms and shifted in his seat.

"Ugh... Yushiro, don't make me have to use my Kekkei Genkai on you, because I will. I hate playing mind games, just tell me so I don't have to waist any damn chakura!"

"Rinnegan prevents any Kekkei Genkai from being used on me, like the Sharingan, that also doesn't work." He starred deeply into her eyes, again making her uncomfortable.

"R-rinnegan? What the hell is that?" She tripped over her words.

Natsumi starred at him intently, but then he closed his eyes. Two large black feathery wings sprouted from his back, they were so big that they almost wrapped around the whole room. When her eyes turned back to his face, his eyes opened. His eyes looked like they did in the picture she had found. They were gray with several black rings within them.

"Y-Yushiro? What the fuck is this!" She yelled as she stood up and backed against the wall as much as she could, he was blocking the entrance with his wings.

"I'm some sort of God, You can say?" He looked slightly confused as he looked at Natsumi with his odd eyes.

"A-a god? You call yourself a god! This is just..." She stopped herself, who was she to judge, she was just as weird if not more than him. "What do you know about who killed Rao? I know you know somethin' otherwise why would you keep showing up with your damn mind tricks to confuse me and make me think." Her voice had calmed and she walked closer to him, looking serious.

"I didn't kill her." He said simply.

"I'm aware of that. I never once thought you did Yushiro, but I do know you know somethin' and you're going to tell me, now!" She had gripped the collar of his shirt, pulling him closer to her.

He sighed. "There is a group of people after really strong clans, like mine and yours. I ran away before they could get me, and thanks to Rao, you were safe. But the group figured out who you were with, and killed Rao. They are coming after you next. They want your eye."

"W-what..." She let go of him and back away till her back hit the wall, she slid down it and sat on the ground with her knees up. "I-I don't understand... Rao was killed... because of me?" Several tears fell down her cheeks.

"Doesn't sound right, when you put it that way."

"Then what is the right way? I need answers damnit!" She found herself yelling as more and more tears fell down her cheeks.

"I think that's enough talking for today." He stood up, ready to leave.

"Yushiro no! Please, don't go... I need your help... you're the only one who can help me!" She stood up and stood several feet from him.

"Hm." He jumped up and disappeared, leaving a few black feathers behind.

"Noo! Yushiro! Damnit!" She yelled as she collapsed to her knees.

Natsumi walked through town with her head down. She headed to her home, where she last saw her mother alive. Her mothers room was a adventure all on its own. Lots of odds and ends lay around her room, several pictures of her and Rao, even some pictures of Rao and Ryo.

"Oh Rao, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." She said to herself as she sat down.

"Yes it is."

Natsumi jumped and turned around to see a large muscular man with rope and a bag in his hand. Beside him stood a tall woman with blue hair and a thin body. Beside her, stood another guy, a lot less muscular, but was drop dead gorgeous with his medium length orange hair.

"W-who are you?" Natsumi asked as she stood up and backed away.

"We are here to take you, I believe you will be happier with us, rather than here." The woman said as she smiled.

"No, no!"

"Oh yes." The orange hair boy said.

The muscular man ran at her with the rope. Her tied her hands behind her back, making her useless when it came to her Kekkei Genkai. She kicked and screamed as he taped her mouth shut and threw her into the blood stained bag. All she could think of was Rao, and wished that she would save her.

Natsumi couldn't see a thing. She was in pain as the rope dug deep into her wrists and ankles. She squirmed all she could but it was useless, she was trapped, and was probably going to die soon. She could hear the goons talking amongst each other.

"See guys? Why don't you all realise that my ideas are always good. I knew she'd revisit her house eventually." She recognised that as the orange haired boys voice.

"Oh shut it. We give you credit, but all I care for now is to get this girl to the boss before he gets too angry." The girl said.

"I agree, but man is she heavy." The muscular man said as he moved the bag a bit.

"Hey, who's that?" The girl asked the group.

"Looks like a young ninja, Stephanie, take care of him, I'm in no mood to fight." The orange haired boy said, obviously addressing the girl.

"Very well, stay here, he may not even be after us."

She approached the boy cautiously. "Hey little one... are you lost?" She asked cheerily.

Natsumi heard the sound of a fist hitting a face before she was dropped. The bag opened and she could finally see. The woman fell from the sky and landed in front of the ninja, it was Yushiro.

Yushiro picked up the woman by her hair and threw her into a tree, instantly knocking her out. The orange haired boy looked terrified as the larger man ran straight for Yushiro. Yushiro's expression stayed emotionless as he pulled out his long black sword and held it delicately toward the man. The man simply laughed in his face as he moved a bit and changed where he was aiming. The man lifted his arm, aiming it for Yushiro's face. In almost slow motion, Yushiro ducked and turned around, the sword came down and cut off the man's wrist.

"Ahhh! You fucking brat!" He yelled in agony.

He held his limb to his shirt and lifted his other arm, Yushiro stabbed him in the chest, he fell to his knees.

"Oh no, I must go tell the boss..." The orange haired boy said beside Natsumi. He disappeared and reappeared beside the girl, then he picked her up, they both disappeared.

"Yushiro!" Natsumi yelled, but it was muffled.

Yushiro ran over and pulled her out of the bag. He ripped off the tape, untied her and rubbed each limb gently where they now had deep red indents.

"Y-Yushiro, that was amazing! B-But, how did you know I was here?" She asked, starring deeply into his eyes.

He shrugged his shoulders, "Go figure."

She sighed as she stood up, dusting off her pants. She looked to him, he didn't even break a sweat in that fight. She looked over to the dead man and sighed.

"Damn you Yushiro." She said simply as she walked over to look over the dead guy.

He let out a small, almost girlish giggle.

"It's not funny! He was probably the one that killed Rao, and you killed him instead... Damnit!" She sighed and looked to the ground in sadness, as grateful as she was to Yushiro for saving her, she still wished she had killed the man instead.

"It's okay, I'm just better than you," He said simply.

"Oh shut up Yush-" He was gone, leaving only a few black feathers behind.

"DAMN YOU, AND YOUR FUCKING WINGS YUSHIRO!" She yelled to the sky before heading back towards the village.
