Chapter 11: Shisui and returning to normality….
Kakashi observed his friend the next morning: Seiya had been silent since returning from the Manor. Kakashi was but wasn't worried about that; he understood that too much had happened and that Seiya hadn't had the time to understand everything. He analyzed his friend to most there wouldn't be a possibility to read Seiya, now lesser with those walls put up. But Kakashi could and did he observed silently and waited for those moments where the walls where down. He saw his friend struggling if this had happened years before he would have hugged Seiya and made him talk. Now everything was different his best friend was a stranger without being one…But he had a plan: break into those walls slowly.
When Seiya was about to leave Kakashi stopped him. He gave him a small bag with some lunch and looked his friend in the eye. "When you are ready I'm here." He told his friend squeezing his shoulder.
Seiya looked at him and even if Kakashi couldn't see it he felt that his friend was confused. Seiya didn't know what to do. What was he supposed to do? Kakashi was willing to hear him, but he wasn't ready to talk. Would that offend Kakashi? Should he thank him?
"Don't say anything it's alright, take your time, but remember you aren't alone….not anymore." Said Kakashi to calm his already distressed friend, Seiya didn't know why he did it but he hugged Kakashi. He hoped that Kakashi could interpret everything he couldn't say with words. Kakashi hugged him back and when they separated Seiya left.
Seiya left Kakashi's place not really knowing where to go. The village was very busy that morning and he noticed a few students from the academy point at him and whisper among themselves. They didn't seem to be accusing him of something and looked at him with caution, but respect and some even with …admiration? He was stopped by one of the youngest a Seiju he saw.
"Uchiha-sama? Is it true what they say: can you do magic?" Asked the small boy, he was very respectful and didn't seem to be afraid of him.
"Yes I can do magic and please call me Seiya." He said showing his wand; there was no point now to say he didn't have one or couldn't do magic. The cat was out the bag already. The boy looked at the wand with big eyes.
"Can you show me some? Please." The boy asked giving him an innocent look.
"Yes." Said Seiya and thought about something simple to show the boy, he had an idea. He opened his palm and showed it to the boy then he touched it with his wand and soon he had one of his potions in his hand. "Here apply this over a wound and you will see it heals it….you will need only a drop or two so you have for a while. Unless you or one of your friends are really clumsy." He told the boy handing him the vial to the boy who looked very grateful.
"Wow thank you Seiya-Sama, I did read about magic users and their potions in a book…..only I thought they were extinct." The boy told him honestly.
"Many did so, don't worry. They believe we are a myth, it's that way so both of us stay in our worlds as we have signed peace with them." He informed the boy. "And who may you be?" He asked the boy in a neutral voice and the boy blushed.
"I'm Seiju Hiroshi sir." Answered Hiroshi looking up at Seiya with his big eyes, Seiya saw that the boy looked at his sharingan.
"Well it was a pleasure to meet you Hiroshi-Kun, but I fear you might be late for class if you don't hurry up." He told the small boy. Hiroshi nodded and turned to walk to his friends but stopped.
"Thank you for answering my questions Seiya-Sama! And the potion I will only use it if needed!" He called over his shoulder waving good-bye.
Seiya smiled at the boy's antics and thought: if his parents only knew…After this little stop Seiya followed his way and without being conscious he stood in front of the entrance to Uchiha Manor and the rest of the buildings. He thought about the irony of it, he had a great need to stay away from the place while he had a greater need to go to it or so it seemed. He was still thinking if it was a smart thing to enter, but entered anyway. After all he had all the right to be there: the whole place was his now. He had been very happy there at one point in his life. It had been his only home, the only place where he had been a child….
He decided to explore the rest of the propriety, now that Sasuke wasn't with him, hoping his parents left him alone. As he walked between houses of once Clan members he saw that there was more to do then he first thought. Itachi had been kind to the place but time hadn't and there where many places that looked run downs. It seemed almost unbelievable to him that the place he was walking around had once been a representation of power and glory. He looked around and wondered what had really happened that awful night all those years ago. How had Itachi been able to kill the whole clan by himself? He knew that his younger brother had been powerful, but he also knew that he was more. What could he do? If Itachi had been able to cause so much destruction: what would happen if he ever lost it? He decided that he didn't want to think about it.
He closed his eyes and thought about the Clan members to pay them respect: Inabi, Obito (even if he never liked Obito), Kagami, Tekka (he remembered her as a little girl one of the few girls born into the clan, she was younger than Itachi.), Teyaki (he smiled remembering his uncle the man always gave them sweets from his candy shop), Uruchi (his aunt a woman with a hand of steel and a heart of gold, the steel hand was needed inside the clan.), Yashiro and Shisui….. Those where a few of the Clan members, but they were those he could remember clearly after all those years. Sure there where many more faceless names in his head and nameless faces he couldn't connect.
He decided to keep looking around and stop thinking what happened at last for the moment. He saw that the plants had grown without any control on the whole propriety and that many places where useless for the time being due this. He entered the gym and looked around; it was in a very good condition and would need little work. This made him happy because that meant that he could train in peace. He decided to clean it that same moment and after a few good aimed cleaning spells the place looked as good as new. He decided to take a few minutes to canalize his chakra and use a few ninjitsus: only for fun. He was precise and no one would say that he had been away for so long. He had been practicing in secret, but always avoided fire when he could it was just too tempting…..
He had walked past the RoR in his first year at Hogwarts thinking about this gym and how he needed a place to practice and found the room suddenly. It had been an exact replica of the gym. He was very relieved finding the room because non used chakra could get faster out of control then magic. He used the RoR when he needed to be alone and himself, Dumbledore had forbidden him from using his chakra and had never suspected what he did in the RoR. He also went to the room when he needed to remember who he really was…. Many times he wondered if the headmaster even knew where the room was, but that wasn't his problem.
After inspecting a few other places he came across the armory and decided to look around it. He found a lot of useful weapons all with the Uchiha symbol on them. Typical he thought and sneered, but then shook his head: he already knew it so what surprised him? He took a few with him and decided to give Sasuke some. The rest he would keep for himself. He also found some T-shirts with the Uchiha symbol on the back. He decided to grab them and take them with him, he used a few cleaning charms on one and changed his white T-shirt for that one. He smiled despite himself he was the head of the Clan now and wouldn't be ashamed of it. No matter what had happened in the past nor what his feelings toward his father where. He was the Clan leader and would protect it. Bring back its glory. His clan he thought: Sasuke, himself and….Itachi?
Was Itachi part of the Clan? Yes, Itachi was no matter what he had done. He had a feeling in his gut that there was more to the massacre than was told: and his gut had always been right. He missed his younger brother and hopped he could find a way to get him back. To make him redeem himself in the public eye…. even so if Seiya forgave him and could get a deal with Tsunade the public should stay silent, as he was forgiven by both his Clan leader and the Hokage. Walking around Seiya thought about exactly how he could get Itachi back. Itachi belonged there no matter what he had done. He believed that Itachi had his own reasons with fundament to make a massacre and kill the whole clan…well almost.
As he walked along the propriety he came across his Aunt and Uncle's house. He looked at the house with affection before sitting on the steps eating his lunch as he had done many times in the past. That would be one of the first places he fixed after the Manor. He sat there lost in thought.
"Well it seems the prince finally returned home to claim his throne." Came a sarcastic comment from his left in a voice he knew all too well.
He looked up and to his left and felt him mouth dry. There floating a few feet away from him was his cousin: Shisui. His cousin had a smile on his face and looked at him in the way one would look at a younger sibling, long not seen. Seiya passed a hand over his face to be sure he wasn't seeing things, but Shisui stayed where he was. At that moment Seiya lost the little self-control he still had after everything that happened and knowing he could trust Shisui with his wand he broke down.
Seiya started to cry and even if it felt horrible he let Shisui hug him craving the comfort and affection. Seiya cried all his confusion and frustration out while Shisui sat there holding and conforming him. Seiya wasn't sure how long he sat there crying, but once it was all out of his system he felt much better. Sure he still felt confused about the whole thing with his parents but he also felt a peace he hadn't felt in years.
"Man you cried your heart out here; I am sure that if I was still alive a new shirt would be in order." Joked Shisui and Seiya laughed whole heartily. It felt good to be around Shisui and he even had lowered the occlumence walls without knowing it when he saw his cousin's ghost.
"Now tell me how are you doing? I feel pretty death." Palm faced Shisui and Seiya could not help but chuckle thinking: only you Shisui would find the humor in being death….only you.
"I'm pretty confused at the moment if I'm honest with you." He told his cousin signing.
"Yes I imagine. I heard what happened yesterday…..you know that your return is the most interesting thing that happened here in AGES! Man it's so bored here: the funniest thing I can do now is drive my father crazy. And if I'm honest I already did so when anyway and it's getting kind of old. Don't you think? I mean I did it being alive and now I try being death, can you believe he became immune! What about you and your confusion?" Said Shisui and Seiya shook his head all the death where a group of dunderheads with nothing better to do than staking their noses where they aren't called.
"Well I don't want to talk about that right now so if you want let's talk about something else." Seiya informed his cousin who nodded. "Tell me what happened to you? Did you die with everyone else?" Seiya asked Shisui who grimaced before answering.
"No I died before….I can't really tell you why at the moment nor what exactly happened, but once I can and you are ready I will tell you." Shisui answered and Seiya frowned.
"Alright: what happened here? I mean since I left." He added.
"Everything went downhill; your father became bitter very bitter. I know it may seem impossible, but he wasn't bitter before you left or so it seems. He missed you and blamed himself….not that there was anyone else to blame. Some of the clan members weren't ok with the decisions he had made and where angry at him. He tried to make them understand and in time they did, but noting was the same again…" Shisui said looking sad for a moment and then gave him a smile showing him it was alright.
They spend a long time talking about all the things they did as kids and laughing about those things. They had got themselves is some big problems with Kakashi even if they were only one kid and two pre-teens. After that they talked about both Sasuke and Itachi, and Seiya had the feeling his cousin wasn't telling him something. Seiya figured out that it wasn't Shisui's place to tell him so he didn't ask. They spoke about what had happened that Shisui couldn't contact him any longer and they spend a long time talking about everything Seiya had to do for the greater good.
Spending time with his death cousin had actually helped Seiya a lot, he was at peace with what happened in the WW and could concentrate now on his parents. In the end he told Shisui what had happened exactly the day before. And Shisui had told him to take his time and talk with Kakashi about it. He said that Kakashi could be a little more objective about it and that Kakashi had been always better at emotional stuff. Seiya decided he would do…only not yet. He wasn't ready to do so yet.
He told Shisui about his plans for the Manor and propriety and Shisui was happy to hear he would have company of the living, as he used to say, more often now. He had told Seiya again that being death was bored and when Seiya asked why he hadn't moved on yet, he was told Shisui wasn't ready for it yet. Shisui said that if he wasn't death yet he would have died of not doing anything, after this he had a long discussion with Seiya about if that was possible or not. Seiya was informed that there were only about 12 ghosts in the whole propriety and thought it wasn't that bad. Shisui 'walked' him out and on his way to the village he restored his mental walls. He made sure they weren't as strong as they had been, but they still where there.
When he reached Kakashi's he was met with total disaster: Naruto and Sasuke where fighting about something. First he decided to ignore them and said hi to Kakashi who sat reading ignoring the boys. He made himself some tea and started to read a muggle novel he had taken with him. Over the years he became a big fan of mystery and police novels. He ignored both teens until his headache became to prominent. He silenced both with the wave of a hand and Kakashi gave him a grateful look.
Just then it seemed that the teens had figured out he was there to. He shared a look with Sasuke who looked relieved to see him a little better, but it was short lived as Naruto started to panic. He went red trying to get Seiya's attention and Sasuke started to hit him for being so stupid. Seiya stood up.
"Ok, now I will make it official: the both of you are dunderheads! I want the both of you facing a corner now!" He ordered the both of them and saw Sasuke's face going red with embracement, he was sure Sasuke reminded it from when he was young. Sasuke turned and did as asked. Naruto followed him causing Seiya to groan and Kakashi to chuckle. "No Naruto-san you will go and face the other corned, you dunderhead! It's an individual punishment." Naruto did as ordered blushing for not having realized that one his own.
"Once I call you: I will return you the ability to speak and you will apologize to each other got it?" Sasuke nodded looking at the wall, but Naruto turned and opened his mouth. "Naruto Uzumaki five more minutes and I will turn around now if you don't want five more!" At this Sasuke chuckled softly in his corner: a shame Seiya's good hearing head him. "Sasuke five more for you to." At this Sasuke went red, he felt lucky none could see it.
Kakashi looked at his friend trying to keep a straight face. It was really amusing to see two of the most promising ninjas of the village being told of by the elder brother of one of them. Seiya signed and rubbed his temples he had a feeling this would happen more often. He opened his bag and summoned two anti-headache potions to him offering one to Kakashi. Both men took the potion and felt relieved to feel the headache go away slowly.
Ten minutes later Seiya called the teens to him and made them apologize. The rest of the evening was uneventful if you didn't count Naruto's whining about how unfair Seiya had been, Sasuke telling him to shut up, Seiya saying that if they were fighting again they could return to their corners from where he was cooking in the kitchen and Kakashi laughing his butt off. Yes the evening was uneventful….. After a delicious dinner it was decided Seiya could keep cooking as he was good at it.
Later when Seiya and Kakashi where asleep and Naruto and Sasuke still awake or at last Naruto still was….Naruto had been having the feeling that something had happened or was happening and that they were keeping him out of it. He would bet it had something to do with Seiya so he decided to ask Sasuke.
"Pssst! Sasuke!" He said but Sasuke didn't awnser and had his back toward him.
"Psst! Sasuke!" He said again this time getting out of his bed and walking over to Sasuke. "Hey Uchiha!" He said shaking Sasuke's shoulder, this woke the other.
"WHAT!" Answered a sleepy Sasuke glaring at the blond: who put a hand over his mouth to silence him.
"Shhhhhhh!" Naruto said pointing at a sleeping Seiya. "You don't want him to wake do you?" Whispered Naruto and Sasuke shook his head.
"Good. Now what is going on? Seiya is acting strange and you keep looking at him." Said Naruto sitting next to his friend,no one could deny that Naruto was a good observer and a compassionate person, Sasuke looked at him unsure about what he would answer.
"I'm not sure what is happening. Seiya: he is confused and Kakashi said that I had to give him time." Said Sasuke he didn't want to enter in details, not that late and lesser if Seiya could wake.
"That's understandable imagine being in his place!" Exclaimed the blond looking at Seiya's sleeping form with concern. "He has to be assured he isn't alone." Said Naruto and Sasuke nodded they both knew that the worst was being alone or feeling so.
"Look I will tell you more in the morning, but right now I want to sleep Naruto. Alright?" Asked a very tired looking Sasuke.
"Alright, but what do you think about Seiya's hitai-ate? I think it looks pretty cool around his wrist. It's still showing where he comes from, but still subtle. And now that he uses that T-Shirt with the Uchiha symbol at the back he shows the whole village who he is….." Kept talking Naruto and Sasuke pushed him of his bed hoping Naruto would get what he meant.
"Right, you wanted to sleep. We will talk tomorrow, but please tell me you to think it's cool!" Said Naruto shaking Sasuke to keep him awake and the black head groaned. Sasuke was taken aback that Naruto even knew that subtlety existed and decided to answer him to sleep.
"Yes I like what he did, now SLEEP!" Said Sasuke and Naruto went back to bed not wanting to anger his friend any more.

Do you like the little scene when Seiya returns to Kakashi's? I won't change Kakashi's character completely he will still be good at the: kill each other but leave me alone attitude. Good? Bad? Review? Puppy dog eyes…
