Hey everyone! Okay so I like how some people lurve my story and how others have pointed out how it seems mary sue-ish. Well my critics, Kurayami does in fact have weaknesses. Thing is, I haven't revealed them yet and most of them happen in the time skip so you have to wait a bit my lovelies!

Sorry, patience is said to be a virtue though

SASUKE'S POV

I was out looking for a gift for Yami since she was now my date for the festival. I know she's changed over the years, but I'm pretty sure I knew her well enough to get something she'd like…or at least I hope she'll like what I get. So far I haven't had much luck because every time I go into a store I get weird looks from the woman and goo-goo eyes from my pathetic fangirls. It's rather irritating trying to shop for something special when the atmosphere in the stores are full of awkwardness.

Anyway, I had pretty much gone through the whole village until something shiny caught my eye (that, or I have serious ADD). Turning to look at the store window, I smirked to myself and walked in to buy what I saw.

She'll probably worship me after this.

KURAYAMI'S POV

Stretching my body, I stood up from the ground I was sitting on to start my self-training. Since I'm an Anbu, I don't exactly have a sensei but I never stop training. Tsunade hasn't given me any missions besides my one on Sasuke and I can sense him enough to know he's not in any danger at the moment. Smirking to myself, I took a deep breath before taking out all my kunais and shuriken and placed them all carefully between my fingers. Targets were surrounding me and I was hoping I didn't start slacking in this skill while being away on missions so much.

I bent slightly and ran at a tree that was standing tall next to me. I used chakra in my feet to stay on long enough until I pushed off into the air while closing my eyes. Spinning around swiftly, I threw my weapons at different targets while keeping my eyes closed. I knew the ground was coming up fast, so I quickly turned and landed gracefully on my feet to see my handiwork. The kunai hit the center of each target dead on but the shuriken were off in some places. There weren't any weapons that hit the ground, but I frowned at the knowledge of my shuriken skills lacking a bit.

Then again, I do use kunai and my fans more often than shuriken. I have to keep up my game.

I sighed as I picked up all the weapons and put them back into my pouch. Flexing my arms a bit, I took out my new fans and opened them. I spun them around my hands and moved my arms with them to get use to the flow. They were light in my hands, making it so that it was like they were extensions of my arms. I love using fans because people always underestimate them. Fans aren't just flimsy accessories; they are deadly weapons as sharp as blades.

I swiped my arm at a tree to cut it with my fan. It made a gash against the bark, but would be stronger if I infused chakra into it. I did so and swiped at the tree again, which resulted in me nearly chopping it in half. I smirked a little and now wanted to see if I could use my chakra elements with it, which I'm sure I can. What's cool about my elements is that not only can I use jutsus with them, but I can manipulate them when using weapons.

"Wind," I whispered to myself. The leaves of trees began to blow around me and surround my fans as if it were waiting instructions. I swung my arms around me to get enough power, leaped up in a spin, and trust my arms forward to release. The wind blew violently from my fans and hit the previous tree with so much power that it completely fell down.

I stood up straight and smiled at this. I did indeed make the right choice in choosing these weapons like I thought I did. Now I can fight my enemies with a little more ease.

Now about those damn shuriken…

SASUKE'S POV

I finished wrapping Yami's gift and put it under my bed for safe keeping. It's not like anyone in my house would steal it (considering I live alone) but it's just a nervous habit. I sighed, hating the fact that I never really have to worry about anyone stealing my stuff. It would suck of course, but I'm sure the experience of a sibling or something could be amusing. I clenched my fists as the thought hit my head that Itachi took this all away from me. That bastard needs to die by my hand and fast, but I don't have enough power to do that yet. It's not like I can ask for any more help either. Everyone here is pretty weak.

Except for Yami…

Shock went through me as I realized what I just thought. It never really dawned on me that I could ask her, but I'm not exactly one to ask for help. Then again…it is Yami. It's not like it's one of my fangirls or a perverted man like Kakashi. Sighing, I decided to take the chance and go look for her. I tried her house first, but when no one answered I figured she was out training.

Ugh, she could be training anywhere though.

I ran at least to the outskirts of the forest and stopped there. Closing my eyes, I tried to concentrate on finding her chakra signature. It took awhile (since I'm rarely around her) but I did in fact find where she was and started running there. When I arrived, I had to dodge the shuriken that headed in my direction.

What the hell?

Clones of Yami were running around Yami throwing shuriken at her as she tried to deflect them with her fans. She moved skillfully and gracefully. Her eyes looked like they were forever calculating the next move as she deflected another and punched a clone, making it disappear. She spun one fan around her hand and threw it behind her. It circled around and sliced through the rest of the clones surrounding her. Before it could go around again, she stretched her hand out and it was like the fan was drawn to her and came back.

"Wow," I whispered. She seemed to have heard me though, because she turned and smiled at me.

"You have such a fine choice in words," she said laughing. I blushed slightly and turned away. "Anyway, watcha here for?"

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Okay", she said closing her fans and putting them away. "Ask away."

I mumbled the question since I'm such a freaking coward, "Will you help me train?"

She smirked. Oh god, she heard me but was gonna make me say it again. "I'm sorry I didn't quite here that my dear. Will you repeat?"

I growled a little and slightly glared at her, "Will you help me train?"

"Of course," she responded walking away from me. "Just don't think I'll go easy on you."
