*She can feel, but what will it Cost*

~ With Baylon ~

Baylon woke up and stretched her muscles. She walked around and she spied a field being blown up, she ran towards the area. Ser pace quickened and when she got there it was a mess, Suigetsu was summoning Manda, and the others were coming closer.

Karin sensed Baylon and feared the chakra behind her, it was dark, then light, then dark again. She feared this chakra.

Sasuke saw a flash of white and saw that it was Baylon. Her eyes flashed blue and she rushed for him, " SASUKE! " She yelled.

He saw her and his lips twitched upward, as he heard her voice, it was a melody to him, " Baylon, your here? " he asked.

She nodded and looked down as he was on the ground, " Yeah, I got sent out on another mission, but it was called off, and I was heading home til I saw this explosion. I felt you were here and I came, I also had a bird tracking you. It checked in every night to my team and I, " She said, it explained how she found him, but not what her mission was.

" What was your mission? " he asked, he was really curious at this point, Suigetsu was ogling her and Jugo was shocked as her summoned bird flew on his shoulder. Karin glared at her. Not liking her smell either, just like Suigetsu.

Baylon looked away and said, " To kill Orochimaru and bring you back, but I told Kakashi that you killed Orochimaru an and he sent his team and my team back, then my former team showed up making a scene and I had to go, " She explained.

He nodded, and Karin hated her already, he had respect for her. He would speak to her freely. Unlike how he treated Karin.

Jugo looked at Baylon and asked, " This bird? It's your's? " He was a bit surprised that a sweet bird could come from her.

She nodded, " He was supposed to be a she and a crow, but I pulled the wrong scroll, doesn't mean I love him any less. My little darling is a sweet one. He's my favorite among all my small birds. His eyes are the sharpest as well, " She said, walking over to Jugo and pet her little bird, he chirped his delight as she gently rubbed his head.

Jugo saw her movements and noticed she was graceful, " Your very pretty and graceful, " He blurted out, and he wasn't the only one to notice, Suigetsu saw as well.

" You'd be a hell of a lot better companion, then that little whore, " Suigetsu says, pointing right at Karin.

Baylon moved away and decided she was to stay, " Well, first, I don't trust Uzumaki's eyes, and Put that sword down before you hurt someone. The only two I trust are Sasuke and Jugo, was that it? " She says, and asks.

Jugo nods and asks, " Can you bring more birds?"

She nodded and bite her thumb, pulling the scrolls, " Summoning Jutsu, " She said.

A flock of white, black, blue, and red birds came at her, she gently nudged a few of their heads and then they went Jugo, who did the same.

" They all have names so be sure to ask it before anything bad happens. Their all gentle, so be your gentle self around them, "She said.

He remembered a voice saying something like that once. He looked up at her and nodded. Each bird said their name.

The blue jay said, " Call me Jay, please, " She chirped in a delightful way.

The red cardinal said, " Call me Garnet, " He sounded a bit scary.

The black crow said, " Call me Raven, charmed to finally met you, " Her voice was scary as well.

The little white dove called, " I'm Starling, " He was the first and last bird to speak to him.

Jugo nodded as he tried to keep the names somewhere he could remember.

Baylon looked to her crow, " Raven, go and tell Heru and the others I'll be here. And that they should go to the village anyway, " She said, her voice making it naturally darker.

The crow went off, and Sasuke watched Baylon play with the birds. " Can't you summon other things? " Sasuke asked, she nodded and pulled three other scrolls.

" Yes, but I love my birds, I can summon spiders, swans , and my beauty, a Vulture, he's stubborn, " She says, summoning each of them.

The spider that appeared was huge, she sat on his head and rubbed it, " Oh, how is my furry little baby? " She asked, loving on him.

Jugo saw the Vulture and moved away, " Oh, his name is Aries. He's no god of war, but close enough. He's the strongest of them all, well, the birds anyway. " She called to him.

Sasuke walked up to her and sat beside her on the spider's head, he went to bite Sasuke, but Baylon shushed the spider and stopped him, " He's an ally, and a dear friend's brother. Remember, Itachi's younger brother. "

Sasuke moved closer and said, " I guess he couldn't kill either of us. "

Baylon looked at him and sighed, pushing him away, " You know, Itachi really did care about you, and he still does. He talks about you all the time, " She said.

Karin watched her and saw that Baylon was as graceful as a swan. Her beauty the same, she didn't compare. Karin hated it about her, she looked at her and said, " Prove yourself before proclaiming to be in this team. "

Baylon nodded, and said, " I'll fight you then. How about it Red? " She asked.

Karin nodded hating her for being herself.

She had only one jutsu she could fight with, " Adamantine Attacking Chains! " She yelled.

Baylon quickly dodged and moved to her, " I'm a close range fighter. And I don't take shit from anyone. Except Sasuke, he's like my brother as well, " She said it quietly and then kicked Karin half way across the field. Baylon was getting a rush from this, such a weakling but she has spunk.

" A lowly genin Uzumaki fighting a highly trained and skilled assassin jonin. I see the end coming, " Baylon said, summoning her scythe on her back scroll, she swung and it went to her neck.

" I'll give you a chance to say sorry and ask for mercy, or I can kill you with every shred of my being, because your features a blood red, " She said, her voice getting a feeling to it, she sounded like Hidan, her shrill voice was making it scarier. The laugh that ripped from her was the worst thing Suigetsu and Karin had heard.

Sasuke looked at her longingly and sighed, " Baylon, please calm down, you can't kill her, yet. I need her as a tracking dog, " He said, showing nothing, not a single emotion came from him, as he said it, his eyes clearing and making Karin feel stupid.

Baylon looked at him and sighed, " Fine. "

She nodded, and Suigetsu tossed her a his cloak, " Here. I hate being tired. Wear it, " She put it on and she took it right back off.

" It sticks like sweat and water, " She said, holding it as far away from herself as she can.

" Well blow dry it, " He shot back.

Karin giggled, and then Baylon grinned, " Oh, hey Sasuke, did I ever tell you this, well, if I hadn't hear me out, " She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him, and he put his hands on her hips, " You know I'm supposed to be your's, right? " she asked. He nodded, and then pulled up and carried her, keeping her close.

Suigetsu started laughing and Jugo made sure her summoning scrolls were picked up. As he picked them up, each bird vanished, except her dove. He smiled and the bird stayed to his shoulder. Karin got off the ground and went for Baylon's long white hair. When she gripped it, she jerked down.

Baylon turned around and put her foot down on Karin as she ripped her hair. Karin went to the ground and Baylon's eyes shot out a blue color, it looked scary, and then a violet swirl hit it, she went to rip her neck out, but Sasuke grabbed her hand, and held it, " You harm her again Karin and I will see you get killed, and I'l let Baylon personally kill you, " He said. His voice was cold and detached to her.

Baylon walked ahead and then Suigetsu asked, " Does she happen to be a tailed-beast, or a jinjuriki of an kind? "

Sasuke nodded, and said, " She holds a divine beast. He just loves blood, and kills by the masses. "

Sasuke watched and ran ahead to Baylon, " I want to talk to to him, tell me where Itachi is. I have to, " He said, he watched her freeze.

" I'll only tell you if you promise me this, that you'll not kill him. He has much to explain to you, " She said, and then she walked forward again. Her pace was quick and she wasn't stopping anytime soon. She kept walking til she finally hit a village.

Sasuke pulled her with him to an inn, and Karin growled when he took Baylon's hand. Baylon smiled, a fake one, but he assumed it was real smile and lead the way to the inn.

Baylon and Sasuke made a farce and got them a room, and the others followed and Baylon immediately went to sit by the window. Jugo followed her and sat beside her, he gave her scrolls and she placed them on her belt.

Suigetsu saw her headbands and he looked at them, " Why, so many headbands? " he asked.

She looked at them and pulled them off, " I work for these villages. My brother's village, my home village, and the two I'm allied with. I became jonin to all of them, " She said, and then she thumbed the hidden leaf one.

" I really do miss being home, " She said under her breathe. She held the headband and then set it away with her others. She looked out at the little town they were staying and then she noticed a very off feeling

" I'm going for a walk, I'll be back, " She called and jumped down from the balcony. Jugo watched her jump down with the grace she had always had, and then Sasuke watched her retreating back and she was walking away, then she turned and waved, then winked. Suigetsu started to snicker and wait for Sasuke to blush or something.

He rolled his eyes, but on the inside he was a mess, he thought he was gonna go so red. Karin looked at the white-haired girl and glared.

Baylon walked away from the town and she waited.

Itachi came to her, and hugged her. He may have hated showing emotions but Baylon was the exception.

" Its been a while, " He said.

She nodded and said, " He's coming to talk, and he may kill you. But do tell him what I told you tell him. I know its true. I really do. I want you to tell him you cared, I already said something like that today. "

She let him go and he looked at her eyes, " Did something happen? You seem tense, " He asked, feeling her tense even more.

" No. Nothing at all, " She said, then a fit of coughing, " I'm fine, really. "

" Your not fine. " Itachi said, sat down and held her close to himself.

" I am, I came only to say those few words. " She said, pulling away from him.

He sighed and helped her up, " Just don't become careless. " He said, and she nodded, she waved a goodbye to him and headed back to the inn they were staying in.

Baylon moved slowly and she was trying not to show her sickness. She stopped and looked around, no one was watching. She started to heal her self when she heard a noise. " I can't show weakness. "

She turned and saw a sight for sore eyes, " Heru, why are here? I sent you back, " She said, her voice was laced with a silent meaning.

" I know, but I just figured you would want Raven back, she was quite helpful. And I wanted to say good luck. you'll need it, and Gaara said your now a ninja of Village Hidden in the Leaf, " He looked at her and smiled to her

She nodded and made her way back. Sasuke was the only one awake at the hour and It made her mad, he needed the rest more then anyone else in the that room did. He was the one always fighting. She looked him in the eye as she walked in and pushed him down, so that he laying down.

He eyed her for minute and then fell asleep. She glanced over at him, she pet his midnight black hair and smiled at his closed eyes.

She then looked at him, and leaned down to kiss his head, she was going away.

She wrote a note and it read;

' Sasuke

I'm going back to work, but I have been with you because I care. Some say assassins can't feel. But you made me feel again. I'm going to come back one day. And that little girl as well will come back. I'll be that sweet and amazing girl you once loved. My powers will hopefully have helped whatever Village I work with. And you have been the most loving I've ever met, saying words that I enjoy. I hope we can have a future together. I want our lives to be the best they can be. I will... I love you.

Your One and Only,

The White Angel of Death '

It was wrote in the most beautiful and detailed handwriting. She left it beside his pillow.

She made a run for the village and then when she was far enough from the town, she started walking and then smiled at the woods. She would always love nature.

She was back to the village by morning and she went to her home from before her families mass murder.

The Choshin family home.

She walked in and saw the mess that left there when Orochimaru had killed her family. Baylon walked to the room she had called her own once.

She entered and saw the mess it was in. She cleaned and cleaned, then finally it was complete.

She eyed the books she had and saw the most of them were the ones she had of drawings and books she read. She pulled a fairy-tale one down and read the first few lines out-loud;

" Once Upon a Time,

A angel fell to the land of man, when he fell, he landed as gracefully as any other angel. He was seeking something that had made him fall from his home.

Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Pride, Envy, and Wrath. He held all these.

His wrath was his undoing though. Being wrathful towards God, it caused him to fall from the grace he was once held in. As he fell, he realized he had been that way. He watched as he fell, and that war raving the lands, and then he landed, and he looked different from when he was in Heaven. He had formed a reddish brown color hair style, and emerald green eyes. He was wearing a loose red, gray, and orange top and green hakama with tape on his lower legs.

He had been sent there to realize his mistakes and regain his grace. But he could never become an angel like he once had. He instead became a Arch Angel. He became something unheard of. "

She stopped and went into the scroll room of the house, she found a few scrolls and then started re-organizing them. She was looking and saw the one that Orochimaru had used. She read it and almost smiled at it, she found something big.

She finished and went to cleaning just the home, she cleaned everything, feeling as if it was almost impossible to be clean. She looked around and spotted her father's research and papers. She kept looking at the things that her parents had kept while she was gone. She saw photos of her and her brother and the ones of her and her parents and a few of them all together. Her eyes wondered over her parents face. Nanami, Baylon's mother, had long bright blonde hair, and silver blue eyes, she wearing a simple blue shirt and black capri-cut pants, and grey ninja sandals, her long hair was in a braid and it was over her shoulder so you could see it. Kurako, Baylon's father, had short black hair and a set of weird looking violet eyes, his hair was graying, and he wore the same as his wife put he had his legs wrapped up, and he bore a jonin vest. He had an arm around his wife and his other hand was on Hidan's shoulder. Hidan in the photo was holding Baylon and Nanami was holding her husband's hand on her waist, and one on her daughter's head.

Baylon sighed and went to finish cleaning. She was going to have to get over whatever she was feeling and deal with all this.

She finally finished by late afternoon, she had been cleaning and working since she got back, she needed a break.

She smiled and went to sit on her porch, kinda, it was a normal Japanese style home. She leaned her back on the support and stayed seated til Shikamaru and Neji passed by her.

Neji looked at her and waved, she nodded and Shikamaru walked over and thumped her head, as she had her eyes closed, " Why are you back, I thought you left? " he asked, muttering his normal ' how troublesome '

She reached into her vest and pulled a scroll out and handed it to him, " And here I thought you were a great smart jonin, " She mocking a old man's voice.

Neji chuckled at her behavior and read over Shikamaru's shoulder

" So the little deviant is a ninja for the village? " He asked.

She nodded and waved her hand, " I've just been cleaning up my old home so I can live here. It was a total mess, " She said, but pulled a photo out and looked at it.

" I wish I could go back and fix things, " She said out-loud.

~ With Sasuke ~

He read the note again and sighed, " She can feel, but what will it cost? " he asked the wind.
