Natsumi's hands were shaking as she took the glass of water from Yushiro. He sighed and sat down beside her on the couch. He smiled faintly as he stared at Natsumi carefully.
"W-what I'm about to tell you, you will probably be mad at me for..." His eyes were sad.
"I'm already mad at you... you didn't tell me everything." She growled.
"Well you will be even madder then... At age three you and your brother were given to your Grandmother. Your brother was five. You two managed to finally escape when you turned five, but were captured by that group. For starters you two were given away because you two were the most powerful and youngest of the Hitama clan, that group would stop at nothing to get their hands on you two. After the group captured you they threw you two into a dungeon and was chained to stone walls. Binyo killed your parents when they couldn't find you two."
"S-so he killed my real parents?"
"Yes."
"How do you know all this?"
"I'm getting to that... Anyway, you and Hikaru were beaten badly, you were there for months. He tried everything to get you out of there but the people would never give in. Unlike you who had to work at it to get Hitima good, your older brother was good with it from day one. He used it to get the chains off of you, he told you to run and forget everything of your past, as you ran away he wiped your mind without you knowing it. I know all this because my father went to find you two, he only find your brother, he had said "She's safe, just leave me here and watch over her for me.", there was nothing my father could do to be able to get your brother out. When Rao found you, you had actually just escaped from there. See this on your hand?" He lifted her hand to show the deep scar that was on it, "Binyo did that to you when you were escaping..."
"I'm glad you killed that man." Natsumi leaned in close to Yushiro, but he pushed her away; he looked guilty.
"Y-you should probably know before you hug me that... h-he's still alive..."
"He is!"
"Yes, but-"
"Why didn't you tell me this!"
"Because I knew you'd wanna go get him..."
"Of course I wanna save him!"
"Do you realise how dangerous that is!"
"I don't care how dangerous it- That's where you always flew off to isn't it!"
"Y-yes... I keep him updated on how you are... If you are remembering that night then your breaking through his barrier, you will most likely remember everything soon..."
"Good! Then I won't have to wait for you to decide if you're going to tell me valuable stuff of my life!" Natsumi stood up and glared at Yushiro before storming upstairs.
He sighed. "I knew she'd be pissed at me."
Yushiro walked outside. It was still pitch dark. He sighed as his wings spread out wide. Flying upwards he heard crying. On the balcony stood Natsumi; she was crying again, but this time he couldn't go to her aid, he had to let Hikaru know that she's beginning to remember.
Yushiro flew all the way to mist village. High up on a cliff there was the dungeon. Yushiro, like his father, was able to sneak in unnoticed. Same place as always sat a chained up Hikaru. His head lifted slowly, when he saw Yushiro he smiled.
"Yushiro, it is nice to see you."
"Yes, I'm sorry it's been so long."
"That's alright, I just want to know how my sister is... is everything okay with you two still?"
"Well...," Yushiro sighed and sat down beside him. "she basically hates me right now."
"Oh why?"
"She remembered that night Hikaru, she's waking up, her eyes are finally pure white..."
"Oh no... I must have been too weak the day that I set her free..."
"Hikaru, she wants to come and get you..."
"No! You mustn't let her! She will be killed on sight."
"I know, but she won't listen to me, she's going to ask more questions, I don't want to lose her just to continue keeping you a secret..."
"B-but... I don't want her to die." He lowered his head.
"Hikaru I will keep talking to her, but your sister has a strong will, she will stop at nothing to get what she wants."
"She's like mother that way then." He laughed weakly.
"I must go. The sun is rising."
"Yes go, before Crysus comes back."
"Alright, I will visit soon, and unfortunately I may not be alone."
"Bye Yushiro, continue to keep her safe for me..."
"Will do." With that Yushiro slipped through the building and flew off back to the leaf village.
Back home Yushiro found Natsumi fast asleep on the balcony. He scooped her up and put her back in her bed.
When Natsumi woke up and looked all around for Yushiro but couldn't find him. She ran to the balcony and saw him in the back yard training alone. She smiled as she jumped off the balcony and ran to him. He looked surprised to see her, she stopped feet from him.
"Yushiro..."
"What?"
"I-I'm sorry for what I said last night... I know you didn't tell me cause you wanted to keep me safe."
"Actually it was your bother who didn't want me to tell you, I didn't care either way."
"Well, c-can I ask a favour of you?"
"I saw him last night he is fine still. He is worried that you are beginning to remember though."
"Y-you saw him?"
"Yes, he doesn't want you to come and get him. He doesn't want you to die."
"Please Yushiro... I have to save him..."
"He's been there since he was seven, he's used to that place by now... they aren't going to kill him, they use him to interrogate other prisoners using Hitima. There is no rush."
"No rush? He's trapped there! All you say he cares about is me? Then wouldn't he want to see his little sister again?"
"He wants that more than anything, b-but Natsumi you don't ge-"
"I do get it, he doesn't want me to put my life at risk to save him, but I don't care what he says. Either you help me, or I'll get to him myself."
"I will help you, but tomorrow, we must talk to Tsunade first."
"Fine I can deal with that. Let's go then." She began to walk toward the street.
"Ugh fine..." Yushiro ran up beside her.
When they got to Tsunade's office yet another helpless man ran out screaming. Natsumi and Yushiro sighed as they walked in.
"What are you two doing here this early?" Tsunade asked.
"Lady Tsunade Yushiro and I are leaving on our own little side mission, it may be a few days."
"Side mission? You can't just leave like that, what is this mission?"
"I'm afraid we cannot tell you." Natsumi said.
Yushiro tapped her shoulder then said, "Tsunade, she knows everything now, she's going after Hikaru."
"Oh my... Natsumi I cannot let you do this, I promised Rao..."
"I don't care what any of you say, if no one will help me I will go on my own... tomorrow."
"Natsumi you may not come out alive..."
"Yushiro is going to be there with me. We are a great team. Lord Kazekage said so himself."
"I do not doubt you two, but thanks to you Crysus was caught by us, even though he escaped I'm sure he will hold a grudge to you for it."
"I don't care the risks, the more I try the more I remember, I want to be reunited with my brother." Natsumi's voice was harsh as she glared at Tsunade.
Tsunade sighed. "Very well, I guess I cannot stop you. Do you need anyone else to come with you?"
"It would be nice, but Yushiro can only carry one." Natsumi said with a laugh.
"Carry one?" Tsunade questioned.
"Never mind... we will go alone, and ensure no one else finds out, if they ask where we are say we forgot some things in Suna." Natsumi said with a laugh.
"Very well you two."
The two left and walked back toward home. No matter how dangerous it was going to be Natsumi was just happy that she was going to see her brother again, whom by now was completely remembered in her mind.
