The wind whipped past Natsumi in a relaxing way. It felt like it was soothing her rapidly beating heart. She felt as though the soothing wind was thing only thing keeping her from jumping out of Yushiro's arms and falling thousands of feet toward the ground. The sun was setting. The sky was a beautiful shade of pink and purple; yet another thing to keep her mind off the mission she was heading toward.

"Natsumi."

Yushiro kept a tight grip on her as he carefully turned her around so she was facing him.

"What is it?" She asked nervously.

"I-I want you to know... i-if something goes wrong... I-I'm just glad I met you..." His kept his gaze ahead.

"Oh Yushiro... nothing will go wrong... I love you Yushiro, I'd die if I lost you..." She hugged him tightly; it was awkward since she had to use all her strength to hold onto him.

"I'd die if I lost you as well." He pulled his arm around her even tighter.

"When we are done saving my brother do me a favour..."

"Hm?"

"Please be more romantic, I love it when you are..." She smiled causing him to laugh outwardly.

Yushiro turned her back around to reveal where they were. Before her eyes there was a tall gray bricked, almost castle looking building. It was high up on a cliff and the way the clouds formed in that area reminded Natsumi of a horror movie.

"Your brother is in the bottom of that place... I am able to sneak in easily using my Rinnegan that means you can't go ahead of me if we are going to get this to work." He explained.

"I won't, I promise, one question though, how are the three of us going to get home?" She asked.

"Go figure."

Natsumi sighed as they landed on the roof of the building.

"We are going in from the top? That will take forever!"

"Natsumi, calm down. It doesn't take that long... Now shut up and stay close to me okay?"

She nodded rather than spoke.

The two moved a large brick tile and quietly hopped in. They landed on top of a large wardrobe.

"Natsumi, trigger your Hitima, contact your brother and still stay close to me alright?" He whispered to her.

She nodded as the two hopped off the wardrobe. Yushrio shut his eyes before reopening them in their ring form. His large wings spread out the length of the hall.

"Yushiro put those away!" Natsumi tried to whisper.

"Shh! I can't, I can only fold them in..." He sighed as he pulled them in close on his back and made a hand gesture for her to follow.

The two moved slowly through the halls. Natsumi pulled her hands together and said 'Hitima!' The new extraordinary feeling rushed into her. Looking ahead she could see the outline of Yushiro's body. It was filled of Concentration, fear, curiosity, and annoyance. Natsumi sighed as she snapped her eyes shut; she grabbed onto Yushiro's shirt to keep herself with him.

She tried reaching her brother.

'Hikaru, we are on the top floor of the building on our way down, is it safe down there?'

'Natsumi... It is right now, but Crysus had just left, I don't know how long it will be before he comes back or reaches you two.'

'Good to know. We are so close brother... I can't wait to see you.'

'Natsumi, I don't look amazingly well, so when you see me... d-don't freak... okay?'

'W-what you mean?'

"Natsumi!" Yushrio suddenly yelled.

Natsumi snapped her eyes open and they quickly faded to scarlet. As her vision cleared she saw that Crysus was headed toward them. Yushiro gripped her wrist tightly and pulled her aside, covering her mouth. Crysus seemed oblivious to their presents and walked right on by. Natsumi and Yushiro let out a sigh of relief and continued on their way. Yushiro spotted the keys across the hall and snatched them as they quickly continued on their way.

They had made it to the first floor, all that was left was to find the stairs to the basement were Hikaru was being held prisoner. They slipped past some guards by Yushiro temporarily knocking them out using his Rinnegan. Finally after what felt like hours they found the stairs. The ran down to see Crysus standing in front of Hikaru. He body turned around and he smirked at the sight of the two.

"Well Natsumi, it's such a pleasure to see you again." He hissed.

"Move aside Crysus."Natsumi glared at him.

He stepped aside to reveal a boy on his side, his back was to her. She could feel the anger rising within her.

"Well it seems I don't have to go get you now, you came right to me..." He smiled again.

"Things have changed a lot since then... I am no longer your friend!"

"Well you are right about one thing; things changed, like me for example, the whole 'I don't like violence' thing, is a lie now."

"I figured that." Natsumi stated as she pulled her hands together.

Her eyes became pure white and his outline came into view. His whole body reminded her of Sasuke's. The blood on his soul was overwhelming.

"Do you like what you see Hitama?" He yelled with an overly amused laugh.

"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way Crysus!"

"Well since this boy is valuable to the boss, I suppose we will be doing this the hard way." He smiled.

Yushiro stepped in Natsumi's way with his wings out wide and his katana out in front of him.

"Y-Yushiro..."

"Get your brother, here are the keys, I'll take care of him."

"No, we are a team, we work best together..."

"Don't fight me Natsumi!" He yelled suddenly; Natsumi noticed his body was trembling.

"Aw how sweet. A boyfriend standing up for his girlfriend. I have no problem taking care of him away, he's not valuable..." Crysus said with a snort.

"Wrong... I am the last of the Namagaki clan, your boss has been searching for me, correct?"

"Yushiro no!"

"Namagaki? Ah yes, we have been looking for you, we thought you died though so we put you out of our minds."

"Well I'm not dead am I?"

"No, but our boss no longer needs you, so you really are just a useless human being."

"Who are you calling useless!" Yushiro yelled as he charged at Crysus with his sword raised high.

Crysus smiled as he reached into his cloak and pulled out a long blue sword. It clashed with Yushiro's blood stained katana.

"N-Natsumi... n-now!" Yushiro choked out.

"Ah right!"

Natsumi released as much chakra as she could until she felt dizzy. When she looked at Crysus's outline she searched until she found the heart with cross bones. She focused on that trying to turn it off. She could see his whole body weakening. She saw Yushiro's outline beginning to overpower Crysus's. He began to back down as he began to pant. If he stood there he'd die by Natsumi's eyes. If he moved he'd die by Yushiro's sword.

"Yushiro it's almost there!" Natsumi yelled as she began to get excited.

Natsumi was seconds away from finishing him off when she felt her hair be pulled and something sharp dig into her throat. Re-opening her eyes she now saw that Stephanie was the one holding her. Natsumi was trapped as her eyes faded back to normal and Crysus's strength began to return.

The girl smirked as her emerald green eyes locked with Natsumi's, striking fear deep within her.

"They say the eyes tell more than words, is that true Natsumi?" The girl hissed; it sent shivers up Natsumi's spine.

"H-hey I have an idea Stephanie... why d-don't you force the girl to watch her brother's and boyfriends death, then we will kill her!" Crysus yelled as he regained his full strength pushing against Yushiro sending him into the nearby brick wall.

"Ah!" Yushiro yelled as he lay in a small heap on the ground.

"Y-Yushiro!" Natsumi choked out as the kunai dug deeper into her throat.

"I like that idea..." The girl hissed as she jerked Natsumi's head in Yushiro's direction.

Natsumi's eyes quickly darted to the boy who still laid motionless on the ground. She looked back to Yushiro; her throat felt tight as her vision began to blur.

Yushiro slowly stood up. He wobbled for a second before his face twisted to pure anger and he raised his sword high in the air again with another charge. Crysus laughed as he clashed his sword against his again. Another battle for strength began. This time Yushiro looked to be overpowering Crysus when he pulled a dirty trick. He used his free hand to go into his cloak and pull out a kunai. In a split second he sliced it across Yushiro's chest in a large gash that covered most of his chest. Yushiro screamed loudly in agony as he fell to the ground again. His wings disappeared into his back and his eyes returned to their different coloured form.

"Yushiro!" Natsumi shrieked.

Yushiro opened his eyes weakly and looked at Natsumi. A weak smile covered his lips as he said,

"I'm s-so sorry Natsumi... I-I failed you and H-Hikaru... I-I was h-hoping I could g-give you the ring w-when we returned, but I g-guess I can't now..." He laughed weakly as his eyes fell shut.

"YUSHIRO NO! DON'T DIE ON ME DAMMIT!" Natsumi panicked as she jerked her body trying everything she could to escape Stephanie's grasp. The kunai sliced her neck, but not deep enough to be fatal.

She ran to Yushiro's side and picked up his katana. She held it out in front of her toward Crysus.

"You fucking bastard! I'm sick of you and your little association! You've killed everyone that had meaning to my life! The only one not dead is Hikaru, but having him as a prisoner is basically the same thing! I will fucking kill you all mother fuckers!" She yelled as she triggered her Hitima.

Her eyes turned pure white as she glared at Crysus and Stephanie. She tried to ignore the pain in her neck when she screamed. She could feel the hot liquid running down her neck and onto her chest. She released all the chakra she could before she felt weak. She stared at Crysus; his health was already failing him, he hadn't recovered from last time yet. Natsumi starred deeply at the heart until she saw it disappear. Crysus looked around confused before he collapsed to the floor.

"Crysus my love!" Stephanie yelled.

"Oh I'm sorry, was he special to you!" Natsumi yelled as she glared at Stephanie.

Stephanie's vision shifted from Crysus's motionless body to Natsumi's deadly eyes. She fell to her knees and begged.

"Please have mercy on me! I was only following orders!" Tears began to fall down her face as she bowed to Natsumi's feet.

"I would have mercy on you," She began to raise from the ground, "but you were the one who killed Rao... you are as guilty as the rest of them!" Natsumi yelled as she ran the sword through the lady's chest.

Natsumi's eyes returned to normal as she fell to the ground dropping the sword. She dragged her weakening body to Yushiro. Tears streamed down her face as she laid on on chest.

"Y-Yushiro... I-I can't lose you!" She yelled as her whole body shook.

From behind her she heard chains moving. She sat up and looked over to see the body slowly sitting up.

"H-Hikaru?" She asked weakly as she pulled herself toward him.

The boy turned around to see the owner of the voice. His hair was Yushiro's length. It was spikey and raven black with a red streak going through the bangs. His face had several cuts and bruises and his clothes were ragged and loose. His onyx eyes locked with her scarlet ones. A small smile crossed his chapped lips as he moved closer to Natsumi. When they finally reached each other Natsumi said,

"H-Hikaru... m-my brother..."

"Oh sister!" He sighed in relief as he threw his arms around her as her tears began to fall more and more.

"I-I can't believe your alive!" He yelled as he held her tighter. His eyes opened and saw the gory scene behind his sister. "Y-Yushiro!"

Natsumi pulled out of his arms to look at her defeated boyfriend.

"N-Natsumi I-I'm so sorry!" He yelled as he starred into her eyes.

"H-here..." Natsumi stood up and grabbed the keys from Yushiro's lifeless body and took them over to her brother.

She undid the chains and he smiled weakly.

"Let's just go home Hikaru..." She said weakly.

Hikaru draped his arm around Natsumi's shoulders and they headed toward the stairs. As they began to climb them they heard a grunting noise. They both turned to see Yushiro attempting to sit up.

"Yushiro!" Natsumi yelled as she ran back down to him.

He smiled weakly as he held out his one arm to her. She threw herself into him and cried loudly.

"I-I thought you were dead!" She yelled through her tears.

"S-so did I..." Natsumi could hear his voice crack.

She moved to look at him and saw tears falling down his cheeks. She smiled again as she pressed her lips to his in a strong and passionate kiss. He grunted in pain. Natsumi and Hikaru smiled as they both helped him stand. The three of them made their way out of the building out into the dark night. Hikaru took in a deep breath before exhaling it in a long sigh.

"I could never thank you two enough." He smiled.

"Thank us after we all make it home in one piece." Natsumi said with a laugh.

"So how are we going to get home?" Hikaru asked.

"Oh no... Yushiro was supposed to fly us back..."

"I s-still can..."

"NO! I WONT LET YOU!" Natsumi yelled.

"It'd be a lot faster. We have no other choice." He laughed as he grabbed the two and let his wings spread out wide.

"Yushiro no!" Before Natsumi could stop him the three were already several feet off the ground. She sighed as she finally gave up. They were all too weak to stay out in the open anyway.

When they finally landed they stood in front of the Hokage building. Yushiro had begun to fall in and out of consciousness, seemed he landed just in time. Natsumi wasn't feeling all that hot either she had lost too much blood and chakra. Even Hikaru was in bad shape, but he had been for quite a while. Natsumi used the last amount of breath in her lungs to yelled for help.

"SOMEONE HELP! P-please!" With that, she fell over taking Yushiro with her.

When Natsumi finally woke up she was in a hospital bed. Her body felt weak. She felt her neck to find a long white bandage. She slowly sat up and looked around. She was all alone; not quite what she expected. Suddenly there was a knock to her door followed by Tsunade's voice.

"Natsumi are you awake?"

"Y-yes." She said weakly.

Tsunade walked in followed by Hikaru and Yushiro. Yushiro looked weak and was hunched over a bit. Hikaru's face and arms were covered in bandages.

"G-guys..." She said weakly.

Yushiro smiled as he walked over to her bedside. A tear slipped down his cheek as he moved in and pressed his lips to hers. He grunted as he pulled away. Natsumi guessed that under his shirt was a long white bandage strapped around his torso.

"Here sis," Hikaru stepped closer and put a necklace around Natsumi's neck. It was a beautiful green stone that glimmered in the sunlight.

"W-what is it?" She asked taking a better look at it.

"It was mothers. She wanted me to give it to you but I never got the chance; it's supposed to help heal quicker." He smiled.

"T-thank you brother." She smiled again.

"When you feel up to it I believe there is a party waiting for you three in town." Tsuande said with a laugh.

"Oh really?" Natsumi asked.

"Yes. When you feel good they are all waiting." She smiled as she stepped out the door.

Hikaru smiled and stepped closer to Natsumi. He placed a kiss on her forehead then said,

"I'm just glad to see you again Natsumi."

"Me too brother."

"Oh, Natsumi..." Yushiro suddenly said.

'Yes?"

"I have something for you..." Yushiro smiled as he got down on one knee.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened it to reveal a beautiful dimond ring.

"Natsumi Hitama, will you marry me?" He asked with a smile.

"Of course you idiot!" She yelled as she hopped off the bed and threw herself at Yushiro.

He smiled as they both sat up. He placed the ring on her finger and kissed her one last time. Hikaru merely laughed.

Author's notes: Pree intense! But yay everyone is okay and Hikaru is reunited with Natsumi... Yay! And Yushiro proposed! (By the way, they we like 17 and 18, so it aint a huge deal!) XD
