AN: So I changed this chapter quite a bit at the end.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

Chapter 7

Hikari stared at the ceiling above her as she lay on her back. It looked like the night sky, maybe it was? The silky black sheets moved like liquid beneath her as she rolled over onto her stomach to look at the room around her. It looked like everything here, shining black marble. The only thing in the room she was in was the enormous bed she was laying on. Stretching a small mewl escaped her as she flexed her muscles and tails..

She had nine now! She smiled and giggled slightly into her arm from happiness. No youkai on earth had nine tails, but she had them! All thanks to-"What are you thinking about that is making you so happy?" Yukihito said as he walked back into the room to find that she was still in his bed...naked..

Hikari felt the bed dip in next to her as she felt the heat from his body radiating off him as he hovered over her kissing her shoulder going down before biting her bed, rewarding him with a gasp. "I'm thinking that it took having sex with you to give me my ninth tail" She said rolling back onto her back to wrap on of her legs around his waist pulling him down ontop of her. He leaned down to kiss her roughly as her hand went to grip his bicep and the other into his hair.

He bit her bottom lip hard enough to draw blood and proceeded to suck on it groaning as she rose her hips to grind into him. Yukihito pulled back and sat up earning a small growl and pout from her.

"You could have had sex with any living person and it would have given you your ninth tail" He said as he went to what she could guess was a walk in closet without a door. "Exactly any "living" person, you are the only one alive down here" Hikari said sitting up from the bed admiring the half naked Kami as he came back out of the closet fully dressed. "Do you really have clothes hanging up in there or do you just go in there and they magically appear on you?"

"So you're saying if there was another living person here you would have slept with them? Are you trying to make me jealous?" Yukihito said with a smirk completely ignoring her question. Hikari rolled her eyes and stood from the bed going to the door.

"I'm going to go see my parents and Toru" She received a 'hn' in response and she went to see her parents, stopping back at the bathing room to put her clothes from the previous night back on first.

'I feel different..' Hikari thought as she pulled on her boots, and plain black pants and tank top. It wasn't the first time she's had that thought other the past 2,000 years. But now that she was finally leaving she was giving it some real thought. In fact she was thinking about everything leading up to this day.

There were times that she forgot that she wasn't originally from the world and she would go weeks and months without thinking about her old life and she couldn't help but feel guilty. And she wondered if other people were to get the chance she had gotten would they feel guilty too? About forgetting where they came from?

But she wasn't that person anymore. She wasn't the girl in her basement playing video games anymore. But god did she miss video games..She was different she was someone different.

When she first came to this world she had felt different too, but that was because she was still adjusting to being able to smell and hear everything, it took her a very long time before she was able to fall asleep without being so hyper-focused that she could hear Kyo and Yumi's hearts beating for 20 ft away.

But she felt different now. She had now spent the past 2,000 years in the underworld. She trained like crazy while she was here. And she definitely felt more mature than she had before she got here. But she couldn't say much for life experiences. She lived 7 years with Kyo and Yumi and she was a child. Would it feel like that over again when she goes back? Will she be able to handle being around actual living people again?

The thought of just that made her full of anxiety. She was about to leave but she still felt like there were so many unanswered questions, questions she never thought to ask...Like asking Toru how he died. And asking her parents how they met. But most of all, how much time had passed since she's been here? Has any time passed at all when she goes back will she still be in the field near the waterfall with Kyo and Yumi trying to stop Lord Yukihito from taking her away?

'Kyo and Yumi...' A few days ago her grandmother came to visit her and told her how Yumi had cried when Lord Yukihito took her. And how angry Kyo was. She told her how they kept saying sorry to her and telling her to become strong because they weren't able to help when she needed them.

She had cried...She pushed them away when she eavesdropped on the meeting they had. She would mostly treat them neutrally but she would sometimes catch herself enjoying their company more than she wanted to and would stop and start pushing them away again. She regretted pushing them away and being so angry at them for so many years. Not necessarily angry but frustrated, and disappointed..

Part of her could understand whatever reason it was they had to go easy on her. If they hadn't shouldn't would be here and wouldn't have been able to meet her parents or learn as much as she has.

After a hundred years of being in the underworld and meeting with so many, well dead people. Ancestors, of her fathers clan, her mothers clan, and the Amaterasu clan. She had learned things she knew she wasn't going to learn if she were still under the tutelage of Kyo and Yumi.

And she couldn't wait to see them again, No matter how many years passed she missed them...

Hikari walked through the halls until she was essentially outside of Lord Yukihito's castle. There were three exits one exit led you to where you go if you are a bad person, the exit you go if you are a good person, and the exit that looks like you're still in the living world but the colors of the sky and landscape are not as bright and well, lively.

She liked it out here because it was a literally the living world but on a different plane of existence. She got to know the landscape of the living world without the living world being in the way.

This place was also where she did most of her training with Toru, while her parents and Aya trained her were in rooms specifically designed to help her with whatever extreme training she was going to be put through.

Hikari asked her parents and Toru to meet her here to say goodbye...

Hikari could see the sun rising in the distance and the moment the first rays of light peeked over the hill she knew it was time for her to go, she was full of excitement and anxiety..

"Hikari-chan" She turned around to see her mother and father coming down the path with Toru and Lord Yukihito coming up behind them.

Hikari embraced her parents and they whispered how proud they were of her and how they will always be watching out for her and how much they'll miss her. Her father jokingly telling her to come visit soon. Tears in her eyes Hikari gave both of her parents a kiss on the cheek before she turned to Toru to see him there with a soft smile on his face.

"I was kinda hoping you would stick around for a few more hundred years" Toru said sadly making Hikari hiccup a laugh/cry and gave him a hug as well. "I'll miss you too Toru, you know if you ever miss being alive just come haunt me and I'll bring you back okay?" She said with tears in her eyes. "Aa maybe"

Hikari took a deep breath and turned and looked at Lord Yukihito standing there, looking a bit too pleased with himself for her while she felt like shit. "Why are you standing there laughing and everyone else is crying?"

Yukihito chuckled and put a hand into the robe he was wearing and pulled out a large box handing it to her making her think of a magician. "Don't be upset with me because you're leaving, you decided to sleep with me and get your tail" "You started it!" "Ahh I did didn't I?" Hikari chuckled a bit shaking her head. "Don't open that till you wake up you will be naked when you return" Yukihito said pointing to the large box he had given her.

"Hai..." Hikari said looking at the huge box in her hands. "80 years have passed since you've been here and the world you had knew for a short time is very different. Not just the world but with your clan as well..Be careful Hikari..The only time I want to see you here because my price is for more than just blood.." Hikari nodded her head as she listened to Lord Yukihito speak. "I'll try and remember that" Was all she could say as the image of everyone around her turned white.

Gasping awake Hikari sat up from where she was laying and looked around frantically. She was still in the clearing where she left with Lord Yukihito..Looking at the dirt below her she saw the summoning circle still imprinted on the ground, scarred by the chakra of lord Yukihito answering her summons.

Running her fingers through the grass she groaned in happiness as she laid down feeling the soft green blades tickle her skin. Taking a deep breathe she couldn't help the smile that bloomed across her face. It was like she had been blind to everything while she was in the underworld and now she could finally see again.

She could smell everything in the clearing from the grass to the dirt and the trees, the water. Opening up her eyes she watched the clouds pass over head and saw how blue the sky was. She couldn't remember the last time she saw any real color..She never noticed it before until then but the world that was open to her in the underworld every was in black, white, and shades of grey. It never really registered to her until then that the only one she could see in color was herself and Lord Yukihito..

Tears started to well up into her eyes as she watched the puffy clouds pass by.

Everything was so beautiful. And she didn't realize how much she missed being here. Being truly alive. Living in the underworld for so many years had its negative effects. And as she thought back to her time there she realized that her years there and the memories sort of blended together.

She knows she was there for 2,000 years and she felt it. She felt the years weighing on her. But she couldn't recall a lot of her years. Her life blended together in memories of seeing herself training. A lot of fighting and bleeding, and dying...

She may be just a bit over 2,000 years old but she had never truly lived a life, not in the underworld. There was no life to live. The only interaction she got was with the spirits of her parents, ancestors, passing spirits and spirits Lord Yukihito would pass onto her to teach her. She had yet to fall in love as well..Hikari..the closest thing she got to that was possibly Toru and having amazing sex with Lord Yukihito and it isn't smart or sane to fall in love with a Kami or a spirit.

She gained knowledge and skill in the underworld. But she couldn't help but feel a bit bitter at not having the chance to truly live yet.

A sad smile came to her face and eyes as she shook her head and cleared her thoughts. Sitting up from her position on the ground. Wipping her eyes she looked around and saw the lake and waterfall near crawled towards it. Long strands of pale pink hair fell over her shoulder as she looked at her reflection. Staring at herself and wondered how Kyo and Yumi would react to seeing her again.

She imagined Yumi would run and give her a hug and Kyo would just stand there smiling. Hikari frowned, 'Or Yumi would slap her and tell her she was an idiot for leaving them' Sighing Hikari sat back on her legs and realized just how naked she was. Looking back towards the seal and saw the box that Lord Yukihito had given her. Looking back at the water and then at the box she debated if she wanted to swim or not. Deciding she could wait to take a dip she crawled back over to the box and opened it.

The first thing she pulled out was a and outfit held together by a ribbon. She couldn't really tell what it would look like but decided she would go through the rest of the box first. There was another outfit in the box and she put it to the side next to the other one. Inside the rest of the box she found a katana and wakizashi. The blades were simple and nothing to really made them stand out but they were special. The steel of the blades were stronger than diamonds and if she pushed her chakra into them she could manipulate the blade. She could virtually make them longer by extending her chakra over them she could infuse elements into them namely fire and electricity. The only unique design was the sheaths. Her katana had images of her beasts wrapped around it and her wakizashi had the symbol of the Oedo clan. Which was the star on her forehead.

The rest of the items were kunai and senbon, different projectiles. Weapon pouches, Empty weapon scrolls a few empty storage scrolls, and one storage scroll that had something in it but she wasn't sure what it was and decided she would look in it later. Looking at the outfits she figured she wear the one that was on top and put the other in the storage scroll that already had something in it.

Putting the outfit on she was pleasently surprised at how nice it was. The shirt was a dark blue sleevless turtleneck halter croptop, her shoulderblades and stomach exposed so you could see her markings. She had fingerless black gloves that went all the way up her arm stopping right below her shoulders. She had black shorts that stopped just to the top of her thighs. Then there were her "shoes". They weren't actually shoes more like black tights that revieled each toe and the bottom of her feet and then went all the way up the the middle of her thigh. Then there was a dull silver cape that held at her waist it only covering her backside and revealing the front of her legs. She didn't know what the point of it besides asthetic purposes but she was complaining. Strapping a few kunai to her right thigh, putting on her equipment belt, and strapping her swords to her hips she looked at her reflection in the lake and couldn't help thinking she looked cool.

'Super conceited right now' Hikari thought with a smile as she grabbed her hair and pulled it back and braided it.

Looking around the clearing she saw her 12 year old self training with her Amaterasu ancestors. She saw her old self. And she started to wonder just how many years its been since she's been gone.

How many years had passed? Looking around the clearing again with a more critical eye she noticed a lot more growth in the trees and more agriculture around the trees themselves.

Her lips pursed together and looked around. Walking up to a tree she knew had been there before she left because she could see the kunai marks still left in the bark, she placed her palm on the tree.

Taking a deep breath she concentrated on the tree. She had only ever successfully communicated with a tree once before, and that was before she had went to the underworld. Trying to remember the lessons of Aya from practicing to control the very earth around her.

Focusing on the tree she shared some of her Amaterasu healing chakra with it and suddenly felt the tree. She could feel its strong roots holding itself into the ground and the wind rustle its leaves lightly. The tree was connected to the earth and started to feel the very world itself. Before she could become to overwhelmed she went back to just focusing on the tree and mentally asked the tree how many years had passed.

The tree couldn't very well speak in words but instead showed her the surrounding area from the day she left and showed her the seasons passing right before her eyes. She counted each summer from the summer she had left. And when she received her answer she thanked the tree but kept her hand upon it.

'87 years...I've been gone 87 years here..how much has changed? As a matter of fact where am I? Where would her clan be?' Thinking on her question she focused on the tree and then its roots. Faintly remembering the feel of Kyo and Yumi's youki Hikari used the tree to connect with the earth to search for a feeling that was more of a memory.

After what seemed like hours Hikari finally felt it. 'Kyo's youki!' The tree's vision widened as it connected itself to a bunch of trees and agriculture that led in the direction of where Kyo was. She suddenly felt startled as she saw him.

She could see him in what looked like a training ground surrounded by trees with some other youkai she had never seen before. Looking at the path that the trees had given her she saw that he wasn't that far from where she was. He was a few hours away in a very large village.

Looking for a tree that was near an entrance Hikari saw the sign and couldn't help but feel excited. He was in Konoha! She recognized the two guys guarding the gates. Albeit a bit older looking than she remembered and she couldn't remember their names immediately but she knew them and they were at the gates sometimes in Konoha!

Growing excited Hikari removed her hand from the tree thanking the earth for helping her she backed away from it and took off running in the direction of Konoha.

End of Chapter

AN: I changed this chapter because I was going over what could happen and Hikari meeting Team Gai would be a bit too complicated right now. I feel like I rushed the information. And that the information about everything should come from Kyo so. Next chapter Hikari will meet Kyo and he will tell her everything she needs to know!
