TIME SKIP

I loved Dai, I ended up being his main protector.

Three months turned into six, that turned into a year and then two. Dai and all his workers became family. Dai was the father I never had. I had a maid, a cook. All who I was friends with.

He ended up putting four holes into each ear filled with the prettiest jewelry.

I fought people trying to break in or steal, when he traveled I took down people that came after him, some to get rid of the biggest competition or just smaller issues. I also was used to make sure people were not taking advantage or had bad intentions with my mind.

We knew I would leave even if I stayed here for so long but I never knew why and what happened when I got the note that all Shinobi had to return to the village. They called in everyone, anyone who was outside the place.

I felt wrong to leave what was now my home but knowing one day I will be back.

I cried, in private so much at the start being out here, missing my people. A had a feeling of dread as I ran through the tree's back home. To see the place, the people, already I had pain for the dead and pain for leaving the living behind.

I spun the ring on my hand with a smile. Dai got me this beautiful thing, Moonstone, my birth stone surrounded by small blue stones. He gave it to me for my 18 birthday six months ago.

I slid my gloves over it with a sigh. Back to wearing these as I flexed in my black gloves.

They slowly creaked open the main gate, the fact it was closed made me wonder if they had been attacked. Are we about to be in another war? Walking in the streets were empty feeling like an end of the world movie. Way too quiet with a shadow across the place as I made my way to the Hokage tower.

I was looking around for familiar faces but what got me was the missing group of Uchiha police on every corner. After I talked to him I found out why. They are all gone but one.

All of them.

I was stunned as I looked over the village from our spot. Itsuki I miss you. His mom, his dad, his sister. All gone.

The strange feeling at this issue was insane. Unbelievable. I could not feel it, it was still a shock. I understand why they brought everyone home. We lost a large, more then large powerhouse inside this place.

I am home now.

Feels surreal.

After walking and passing random people going about the day covered in depression I headed home for the first time in forever.

I stood in front of the compound arc. I could not cross that line, if my home was not taken over it would be a mess and all my plants are dead.

I am not going back to that place.

To many memories.

"Here." The older one arm man handed me the keys, a new apartment building built about a year ago had a space. It looked nice and a fancy style compared to the old ones. I walked up into the empty place, it was a decent living room, separate but open kitchen. Shower and Bath, that excited me.

The bedroom so large with a window that covered the whole wall giving a nice view, enough space to restart my collection of books, get new furniture. I was thrilled.

I was here to hang around, be on guard inside the village, on call. They sent people out but I am here on back draft or be ready if someone attacks and hope no one knows what we lost.

So, I went shopping with morbid joy. Feeling ashamed I was excited to shop. How are they all gone? I don't believe it. They are impossibly strong, it does not make sense. I felt a hole with them gone. You would see that symbol wherever you went.

People I once cared about, gone.

Uchiha I disliked, all gone.

I was dragging in my mattress, pulling it to the middle of the living room where I had stuff in wait to be moved around and put together. Leaning on the wall I heard the unlock of the door across from mine.

I looked out with a perfect view of the gray door.

My breath caught in my throat.

He filled in his Anbu outfit now, older, a man. That mask still on his face and his hair might even be higher. "Do not tell me." I whispered out. He looked up at me coldly before his eye got large and he looked me over.

He looked like he saw a ghost.

"Oh my Kakashi, you got fucking fine." I smiled at him. "You are my across the hall mate?" I stepped up and walked to him. "That is amazing."

He gave me that fake eye smile, something he definitely mastered. "Damn." He said. I fake mocked the insult but also sad of the fact it sounded real.

"Aw, I missed you." I got close and smiled up at him admiring him, what is he 21?

"You been gone for a long time." He said, I could not find his emotion to that.

"Ya well, I had to leave, did not expect to stay so long." He gave a cold nod to me. He scratched his face looking down on me.

"Nice to see you." I could hear the fake in his voice before he patted my shoulder and headed for the steps. My heart dropped before crossing my arms sad that that was how he greeted me after so long.

"Looks like you got your ass." I heard as he walked out of view. That made me smile and laugh walking back into my place.

"Your going to be stuck with it." I yelled back. "Neighbor." I said softly shutting my door to get to placing the big objects down before another shopping spree.

"How dare you not even write." Was yelled at me as I wondered through the clothing store for shit as I am starting over. Looking back there was Kure smiling me. She ran up and gave me the tightest hug and I hugged her back so happy to see her.

She looked older and so pretty. Her simple pretty red dress sat well on her curves.

I was an asshole to leave but I felt like my world ended. A small amount of shame for leaving her behind filled me.

"I am sorry." She pulled back and looked at me like she understood. She nodded taking the clothes out of my hands and put them down. "Do you know why I left?"

"No but, come." She grabbed my hand and started to drag me away down the street. "I am sure there was a reason, we all missed you."

There sitting at our table was Asuma and Guy. Guy jumped up and tackled me as Asuma smiled with that smoke giving me a happy nod and smile.

I was picked up and spun around by Guy making me giggle.

My feet hit the ground and I looked to Asuma. "You are back to?" He nodded. Been so long since I seen him.

Glad to see these people again. They also looked older and even Guy had a glow up if it was not for the fact he still wore that tight jumpsuit.

"Here." Guy slid the large amount of eaten nachos my way. "How was it, what did you do, why did you take so long, why did you not come back?" Guy started knocking off questions as a fast pace so I slid into the picnic table next to Kure.

We all chatted, I learned about Asuma's time out of village, he was also on protective duty in a more important way, what it was like here for them. We laughed and it was free and fun like no time had passed.

We all looked over when Kakashi walked by. "Kakashi, come join us." Guy yelled. His one eye looked towards us and back out front continuing on.

A small sigh from Kure.

"That was colder then before." I said noticing the difference this time.

Asuma nodded. "Ya if you thought it was bad before." He grabbed a chip. "Barely see him now."

"He stopped competing with me." Guy spoke sadly, a dark shadow over his face.

"Aw." I looked where he went and he was gone. "I might have to annoy him then." I joked unsure what to do.

"Annoy away." Asuma joked. "Then at least he would be mad and feel some form of emotion."

Kakashi?

I set up my new bookshelf in my living room and placing the only books I have. My favorite and start was Jiraiya's book that just came out. Icha Icha paradise, when I saw it I jumped on it. It was more naughty then I thought and I just loved it even if it was made for men.

I placed my precious box of notes on the middle shelf alone.

A cute jewelry box on another filled with gifts.

My place was looking like a home.

I flopped down on my couch and turned on my new large t.v flicking through the channels trying to find something worth watching.

I gave up and shut it off looking out the window into the dark night, somewhere early in the morning. Missing my chosen family. I wonder if I will go back, this was a big deal and I know I am stuck in this village for a long while and sure they will send me on mission after mission when it was time.

They will need everyone.

It hurt my heart I missed them all but I understood.

I am a leaf shinobi even if I forgot I was.

I heard the squeak of a door without seeing I know it was his. I walked over and opened my door peeking at his closed one. I leaned on the frame opening it more curious what happened to him, how his life was. I wanted to talk to him but he blew me off twice so far.

He lives across from me and that made me smile, I quietly shut my door and moved to my nice kitchen for snacks. I just grabbed so much food and filled this up but I was missing my cook. That guy was skilled, I suck at cooking compared to him.

I picked up a book and sat down, a few pages in I was bored and put it back.

I guess I can go walk the village or something as I can not sleep. I walked out ready to just stroll I looked at his door thinking of Kakashi again. I leaned on my shut door, pulled up my handsign and looked to find his mind.

I was not the best at seeing chakra, it was hard to tell but sometimes I can find the fuzz of a person around me if I focused hard.

If his place was like mine he was in the living room. I shot myself into his head hoping his eye was covered with a silly smile.

"Hello." I bit my lip. "I am your inner mind, you need to make your neighbor some food."

Nothing.

"Come, see, I have the perfect book for you." I spoke.

"Fuck off."

I laughed.

"Please Id love to." I joked back. "Come you need to read this, special, book."

"I am trying to read my own book." He growled. "Get out of my head." This reaction was normal, I did not feel like he fully meant it as it did not have that tone.

"I can make you come here."

"Try it." He pushed.

So I did. I shoved myself into his body and woke up in the middle of the hallway. Kakashi standing above me leaning on the wall coldly with his red eye out, arms crossed. I wiped drool off my face. "Damn." I laughed picking myself up. "That is hot of me, did not catch me this time?"

"You deserve the floor." He spoke back.

I opened my door and nodded him in. "Come on ice queen."

"Queen? " He followed me in surprisingly. I watched him look around and his eye landed on my new shelf and he walked over. I looked at him with a small smile when he shook a little startling me.

I walked next to him eyes on his face curious and he was staring at the books unsure if he just laughed. "This one?" He pointed.

"Ya how did you know?" He then pulled the same book out of his pocket and showed it to me. "Ya, of course you like it to." I checked over his face, he was still cold but not as angry. "I missed you." I spoke with love. He looked a little uncomfortable. "So, page 206 right?" I nudged his arm with mine making him look away a little flustered.

I laughed at that, seeing him embarrassed was just awesome.

"So. Are you going to cook for me?"

"No." I laughed not caring, he made me so happy it was startling.

"Aw come on." I walked towards the kitchen. "Fine I will, it will suck, this building is amazing right." I looked at him as he opened his book and I rolled my eye's. "So why leave your place?"

"I could not do it anymore." He spoke quietly as he stood there reading his book. I felt that, I understand that. I am right there with him.

He walked towards my front door and I did not want him to go as he ignored me with his book, blowing me off again.

"How about some miso and eggplant soup." I said knowing it was his favorite and I actually have the stuff for it. He paused and looked at me blankly took a minute and he nodded, turning and flopping onto my couch.

I checked him out. He looked striking, that dirty book in his hands helped. He looks amazing in that loose pajama pants and gray top, still wearing his mask and eye cover. It was hard not to check him out like this.

"I was always hot, don't look so surprised." He spoke.

I laughed at his skills at reading people. He never even looked at me. It warmed my heart to be near him again. I bet he is stronger then he ever was. I want to fight him and find out.

I nodded with my eyes on his hard chest to his face then went to make food.

"Hard to tell under that mask." I spoke louder but he could hear if I whispered.

"It is the hair." I bit my lip with a smile as I pulled everything out.

"Can I use colored hairspray on it." I started cutting up the eggplant. "Nice and blue or something." He walked up next to me quickly reaching out for his own to cut.

"If you do that to me." I think he meant taking him over and doing it. "I will shave yours." He looked me over and I smiled.

"I think we can both rock that." He looked my face over and I did not know why.

"Do you shave under there?" I rubbed my face and he nodded. "Why?" He shrugged. "Everyday?" He nodded. "Weird." I said back with a smile as he could hide it well under the mask.

"It is uncomfortable if I do not."

"Oh." I was happy he was talking to me even if we had moments of silence as we cooked. He showed me how to make it right, I guess I did that wrong as well. The second he stopped eating he left.

It was awesome to hang out like that. He is the same person even if a little more cold.

I was strolling towards the café a little late in the morning then normal. "You need to pay for that." I paused peeking at a store wide open, strong winds blowing the flags around. A large broken mirror all over the floor and half on the stone walkway as the larger women yelled at a mother and kid.

"It is not his fault." He hid behind his mother.

"You need to pay me." She stepped forward mad like she would attack her. I looked them over and the mother dressed in old clothes. A little cut personally stitched, a small tare at the bottom. The boy however was dressed well just in well worn shoes.

I don't think she has much money.

"You put it in a stupid place." She screamed.

"Well it is expensive and he broke it."

It made my heart reach out as they fought. I stepped forward when the older women almost pushed them as they yelled at each other on who needs to pay. I placed my hand on her shoulder looking at her messy hair and blocked her from this angry women who deserves to be angry.

"What. She broke it, she needs to pay." I slid money out and handed it to her. Dai payed me well, with no reason to shop I gathered a lot and I think this women needs help right here.

She huffed off with her cash and moved to find a broom going into her business. "Thanks." The mother hissed with angry pride. I felt I did something wrong as she shoved her kid off looking back at me once sadly and shuffled off.

To early in the morning for this weird drama.

Hitting up my old routine, coffee, run, workout. I passed a few more heated arguments that I left alone. People were on edge, ya there was a tragedy but it seemed more then that but with that women I decided not to intervene again.

I grabbed an after workout coffee and headed to weapon shop just to browse, I passed through the less popular shopping district when someone went running by me with an armful of cloth of sort's. The person almost bumping into me but I easily moved out of the way. "Stop him." The old man that owned the art shop screamed pointing at the man who looked back on me scared.

Peeking around there was no ninja's but me so I sped up and tripped him. Cloth flying from his hands as he face planted, he looked up at me scared.

"Thank you." The man yelled running to catch up and as I looked while the other stood up and ran off leaving it behind. What do I do? Do I go after the thief that now has no items. Do I take him to the now empty police station and what lock him up alone?

I need to ask someone how this all works now.

Not a single ninja was around to ask. He came and I helped him gather the cloth off the ground, not the most expensive kind or anything. I headed back to the main shopping district where I did find a shinobi, a few were around.

"Asuma." I called and he spun and looked at me. Damn he is hot. The men here got damn fine. At least the village has good eye candy. He smiled as the smoke moved in his mouth hands in pockets and I asked him what was going on.

Without the police and such scary police there is more village fights, shinobi and civilian. There is more crime, robbing, break and enters. When it is bad it is dealt with but some they let go. Trying to sort it out.

Ninja's are held to a higher list, free to roam unless they kill or really hurt. Civilians have no jail anymore as what was left is for shinobi. The police station has been closed and planned to be demolished as it was a mess inside.

So when it comes to all of this until they fix it the best I can do is take a non shinobi to the Hokage to be sentenced. From a fine to threatened with eviction from the village. So some people are just testing the lawlessness at this moment in time.

I was on my hands with my feet in the air next to Guy. Sweat was falling down my forehead making me shut my eye's. Push up after push up, noticing how much I stopped training besides my mental jutsu's.

I let myself drop on my back giving up at 75. He jumped onto his feet giving me a thumbs up but he was already winning at 102. Much faster then me, so I owe him a meal.

Being stuck here in the village all I had was Guy and Kure. I would say Asuma but as friendly as we are we are not close enough friends to just hang out alone. Out of loneliness and boredom I have been following Guy around for days and he was destroying me with these workouts.

Kakashi was always out, I try and reach out to him when I see him but most days he just walks off.

After that I sat in my bath. My feet sticking out of the water pressed to the wall feeling so clean for once.

I stepped out in a towel alone, hmm, no one would just walk in.

I placed my clothing on the bed incase I needed to run out and dropped my towel. I flopped onto the couch excited to be so free in so long, maids, Dai, they just walked in whenever.

I heard a shuffle perking me up as it passed by heading to another place. Not Kakashi.

My mind was free to run and I thought about Itsuki and his family. My mood dropped and my heart hurt. I hate not being distracted as it lets my sadness fill my mind.

I got up and put on clothes, brushed my hair down and stepped out my door to find a distraction. I was headed down the steps when I heard a bang in Kakashi's home. I paused and listened.

I walked over and pressed my ear to the door with a stupid smile, I heard him in his kitchen putting away maybe a pot that fell down then it was silent, maybe he stacks them like me and it is just a mess in his cupboards, then again he is a clean man.

I pulled on the locked door before ducking down and using a tool to unlock his door with a silent click.

I know he has better ears so I waited to see if he noticed.

After a second I almost opened the door when I heard the shower start and it made me stop before I walked in, if he is naked. Wait. Maskless.

My mind running about what he looks like naked as I bit my lip curious. Then again, it is so rude to walk into his home while he is and very creepy. I stood up sadly, I can't sneak on in with him like this I just wanted to surprise him and see if I even can. I ran my hand through my hands and looked back at my door.

With a sad face I walked back into my home. My eye's on the ground as I shut the door when they snapped to the couch where Kakashi sat. I grabbed my face with a smile and chuckle shaking my head before I ignored him and walked into the kitchen.

"I was wondering if you would continue." I heard but I ignored him as I raided my cupboard and found a bag of chips.

"So, you have your shower just running and wasting water." I peaked into the living room digging my hand into the bag leaning on the door frame. "Take off the mask." I nodded at him with a challenging smile.

His hand reached up and pulled on the mask over his nose and I froze as he stared at me. Ready, excited, so fucking curious I slowly took a bit of my chip with big eyes. I got more ridged as he started to pull it down slowly but then his eye gave me that fake smile and he vanished in a whirlwind of leaves.

I was stunned for a moment.

"You ass, clean this up." I yelled loudly. "leaves, everywhere." I sighed but the smile creeped on my face in love and humor before shoving my hand in the bag.

The morning sun was hot and humid this morning as I walked out with my coffee and strolling. "Get out." I paused looking behind me. There was this small kid in white shirt and gray pants. His yellow hair glowing in the sun.

He was hiding behind a post in front of the store that sells stupid masks that no one wears but Anbu. Not sure how he is even still open but even after the time I was away he still was. I looked the kid over as he tried to hit him with a broom making him run away.

I felt a little angry and confused for someone to treat a kid like that when the man said something about the fox mumbling to his store neighbor that agreed.

Is that him?

That one kid.

The jinchuriki.

I watched him leave in amazement but he was out of sight fast. I felt bad for the child. At the same time I could understand the hate. I was not close to many but I did lose some people I did know during that time when the creature was released.

So. I was gone long, the kid is a kid. Is Inochi's kid is the same age? She should be seven now I think.

It is sad that he is so young and so hated for something not his fault and yet, who knows if I would even hang out with him. I hate kids anyway. I turned back to my walk. I am sure he has people somewhere, I don't need to worry.

I spotted Kure at her favorite place we shared a wave and I wondered over to talk to her.

I stood with our bag of candy, Itsuki's favorite, at our bench just watching the town. I slowly chewed with a warm smile feeling him with me.

I saw Kakashi running by over the roofs like he was in a hurry. I sent my nervous break into him and he tripped sliding on his chest. Oh I am mean, Stupid intrusive thought that I acted on.

He sat up and looked around and then at me with a glare. I was startled it worked on him.

I just laughed.

He was then in front me so fast I barely saw him move. He squatted on the railing inches from my face. We just stared at each other without a word. He then reached up and pulled a handful of candies out of my bag again not speaking searching them and pulled out the reds sliding the rest back in.

I just leaned on the railing next to him looking away eating my own when he stood next to me confused pulling out more.

"Sorry. Not sure why I just did that." I mumbled about bullying him but I was happy to have him stand next to me even in silence.

"Must have been so bad." I looked over at Kakashi standing there in cool and calm way confused before I noticed he meant Itsuki. He knew this was our spot.

"You were the only one that knew." I said calmly. "You never ratted on me and I thank you for that." He nodded. "I had to run." He looked down. "My world ended, Kure does not know why but she keeps pushing me. I felt bad for leaving her behind."

"I get it." He looked away. "You left me too." And he was gone leaving me speechless.

Did he care for me enough to have that hurt?

My smile dropped as I stared at the concreate path. I was never sure, I hold him as a friend, I never knew he did as well. I thought back on our moments and the smile came back. We did laugh and ya, we both needed it.

I headed into town and then home with grocery's.

I put my stuff down and pressed my ear to his door. It was silent besides some wind making a door squeak. That must annoy him. Maybe I should fix it for him. I unlocked his door and walked inside.

I just placed a large bag of flour in the middle of his floor. Chuckling I relocked the door letting it shut behind me. Thank's Kakashi. I hope he understands, I found it hilarious.

I was almost bouncing on my feet waiting by the shut gate I could dance. I get to leave. A few people I did not know joined me then I spotted one I did.

Iruka.

I waved at him excited and he gave me a nod back looking uncomfortable and still seemed scared of me for some reason. We stood there awkwardly making small talk.

The leader came, a Jonin male with long dark hair, he was the epitome of tall, dark and handsome.

"Okay." He pulled out a map and placed it on the floor as we squatted and looked with him. His voice was smooth I looked him over. It is rare to be so attracted to someone but damn this guy. "We are headed north along the border, we heard some form of military's training was going on and we are going there to watch it while making sure no one passes us."

He told us a order to run in just in case. I was in the middle, Mr. Hottie was up front and I found out he was an Aburame throwing me off as he does not look like one. They are weird and dark, wear odd glasses a thick coats mostly.

Like me and my ponytail. It is a clan thing.

He had his tight gray shirt under his vest showing off his thick arms, his eye's were an even darker gray and was able to be seen. He looked like he worked on his body as well as his bugs.

Iruka was behind me. A strong man at the back that holds good hearing and between me and Aburame was a small young girl. Then we moved in a long horizonal like line while being vertical to each other spread out to catch anyone trying to get by us.

I was close enough to know where they were, far enough I ran alone.

I am here to be a link between us and it has been a long time but locked into them while moving was not that draining, barely effected me even if the run was long.

We spent day's running and more day's set up in the forest along the border. My mind off and on. It was hard by the time we got there. Stamina in my mind was something I never pushed for and had to put it down every once in a while.

We made a camp site and sat with range between us guarding the boarders and looking to make sure 'military training' does not cross into our land. We had no real time frame, we stayed up all night and next day with only a moment to sleep when others are on watch.

Due to me being the link I was up most of the time connecting us to each other. I just read my book but they would talk just enough making me need to push it around sadly so I slid it back into my scroll.

I yawned sitting on a branch high in the trees, the view was amazing as I watched over a canyon and on the other side was nothing but sand and rocks. I picked at the bark my mind attached but quiet.

I was alone as we were very spread out. One man having a nap in the tent.

"Would you rather find true love today or win the lottery next year?" I sent out. Sending it around has gotten so common it was nothing and natural.

"Love." The girl spoke back.

"Money." The other man I forgot his name spoke, I guess awake in the tent. Then it went quiet.

"Would you rather wear the same socks for a month or the same underwear for a week?" I smiled asking as the previous two spoke in agreement at socks. Iruka disagreed saying one week is better.

"Why are we talking about this." Cold Mr. leader spoke up. "We should be watching."

"What else is there to do, not like we are not paying attention." I yawned to him.

"She has got a point." The girl spoke up making me smile at having back up. "Let me try." It was quiet for a second. "Would you rather be alone all your life or surrounded by really annoying people?"

"Alone." I spoke.

"Alone." Iruka spoke.

"I can't be alone." She quietly spoke.

"Okay enough." The leader spoke making me sigh and lean back, back to boredom.

When I had a moment and I flopped into the small tent where we switched out. Iruka half asleep next to me, he opened his eye's smiled and shut them, I flopped onto my side sliding my arm under my head looking right at his face.

"Not scared of me anymore huh?" I mumbled but I guess I mumbled to much as he looked at me not understanding. I just shut my eye's listening to him breath as I tried to get some rest for my mind.

I opened my eye's thinking it was a second but across from me was the girl. She was about my age. She was on her chest making me miss that as I have that now and it hurts to lay like that. I sat up and rubbed my messy ponytail before pulling it out and brushing it with my hands.

"Iruka is cute right?" She spoke while I yawned looking at her as I tied it up. I never get a girl chat like this it felt so odd and strange but I embraced it.

"Ya." I smiled looking up. "But damn the leader."

"He is so old." I made a noise. "And he is covered in bugs." She sat up startled. "I mean, if you sleep in his bed, bugs everywhere." She laughed and it made me chuckle back.

"If the fact that you eat eight spiders in a year in your sleep is true, he would hate me." I joked back.

"They are everywhere." We heard his sexy voice from outside the tent. Her face went bright red and I laughed climbing out. I stood up in front of him smiling at his face as he stared at me blankly.

"For you. Maybe." I smiled patted his arm and headed back to the post ready to open my mind again. He looked taken back, I peeked back as he watched the girl climb out covering her red face running to her old post before he climbed inside.

Not sure why I was not embarrassed but I enjoy flirting. If anything I flattered him.

It was a boring day when Iruka headed down the cliff side for a small peek, the other man down the opposite way when he screamed into my head to help.

I yelled at my team inside my head as I ran towards Iruka. He is in the middle of a random battle with three shinobi. "They have a strange symbol." I pushed that around. "It is a music note."

"What does that mean?" The leader spoke.

There was a yell into my head making me speed up.

I was about to stop moving and asses but he was on the ground gripping his ears. Clones surrounding him as I eyed them over finding the main mans mind. The shortest man came close about to kick him in the side I pressed my mind into him but it meant I removed my teams link.

I ran in close as the man stopped moving and turned onto his teammate. His body running right for him. I slid between the last one punching him in the face, my sharp gloves barely missing him as he dodged startled at my sudden appearance.

The friend was attacking one as he dodged him, yelling 'why' and 'what the fuck' I ducked and we danced in a simple tai battle. I pulled my focus from the other and shoved it into the man in front of me.

I stopped him from moving, my kunai deep into his side but he was to stunned to cry. I brought up stone kunai with boost sending them at the other two to distract as I twisted my dagger shoving my wind along the blade and stabbing into him like a star.

The others dodging my rock but my focus on this man I did not follow through well with the direction so they could avoid them.

He fell down pain all over his face as it turned white. Iruka was getting on his feet, his ears bleeding when I found out why. There was a buzz that got louder, so loud it hurt. My eye's went black and I think I was screaming while I gripped my ears.

I think I was on my knees, my mind got a hold of itself letting my eyes adjust from darkness. In front of me was Iruka, holding a small kunai protecting me. Slowly the sound of a voice was coming back though the loud buzzing as I watched him carefully a little dizzy.

Clones came around us rushing him as he kicked them all away protecting me. It took a second to understand what was around me. Iruka tossed Kunai at one to make him back up.

Iruka saved my ass. I pretended to not be okay as I looked around. I did something I have not done in a while.

I took one man fully over.

Not needing it as much and leaving me the most vulnerable it was a rare now.

I stood up straight watching my body pass out again. Iruka yelling my name as he kicked away a clone and hovered over me. I could not smile at his care but sad he did not understand what I was doing as I lightly dodged another kunai from him mindlessly.

I walked behind his buddy that was laughing at Iruka wondering why I dodged my teammates weapon, I gripped a small dagger and stabbing him in the heart through his back.

"Thank you." I spoke to Iruka. "I am okay." The man dropped down slowly and Iruka looked at me confused. I did something else I learned but do not use. I used my mind to blow up his, shoving my chakra into every part of brain before going back to my body.

I woke up looking at the man not moving but swaying on his feet. Dark eye's and brain dead, even if his body still stood there.

"Thanks'." I patted his cheek as he stood up even more confused. "Don't worry, the memories are intact and can be interrogated by my clan." He fell on his ass looking at me shocked and scared again. "We can figure out what that symbol means in the village." I flopped down next to him and we took a second break, he just eyed the frozen man over with interest.

I guess even if I was not in interrogation, it is my go to.

We slowly got up covered in blood when our team got here.

Since we needed to stay here but this man had to get home. I was sent with it. I had to take this brain dead man. Get his body to run home beside me. I was sad I had to go home I was enjoying the time outside.

I did feel proud that I got this to work and I have enough control to do this. At least alone I could stop when I wanted to. Eat when I wanted to. He felt like a doll that I tied up his hair in pigtails and put on some lip stick.

Ya I felt a little disturbed at myself but I got him home.

I dropped him off with my family, Inochi seemed shocked to see me before I got a kind smile from him. I guess he did not know I was back but I had no reason to let him know.

Then he was fully interested in the jutsu that made him braindead I figured out. How blowing up a mans mind could be useful and talked me into showing him how so the rest can learn. I agreed on that. I have time anyway.

It was similar to confusion, finding the right chakra points that help us move the body's. Mixing it with the skill I found getting people out of genjutsu or changing them inside their own head. Somehow I made it up and he was very impressed.

I can't go back on the mission so I decided to go book shopping for a distraction.

"Is that it." I spoke from the shadows as I stalked behind Kakashi up the steps. That Paradise book open as he must be reading it a second time at least. He paused and peeked down at me. I think I surprised him.

I stepped up next to him with another bag of books. "I used to run into you at the store so much." I looked it over. "Does that mean you found the book you can't put down." He just looked at me calmly with no hate and nodded. "So, your a much dirtier man then I guessed." I smiled and passed him up the steps.

"Your one to speak."

"I never hid that." I opened my door and he looked at it.

"Why don't you lock it?"

I looked down at my hand on my handle. "If someone wanted in, they would get in." I walked in and waved at him before shutting my door but I paused. There was a small note on my floor making me bend down and pick it up as Kakashi unlocked his door.

I guess someone slid it under the door. He paused and looked at me when I made a noise. Then again it may be hard to get it under the well made door.

"I stopped by you were not here." I mumbled and he walked behind me. "There is no name." I looked back. "I, don't know, maybe Kure?" He took it and looked at it. "Then again she would not care."

"New friend?" He asked handing it back.

"Not made any." I said sadly and I looked at it again.

"Maybe you should have locked it." He gave a fake smile and opened his door.

I walked into mine as we shut them at the same time while I stared at the writing not knowing who it was. I tossed it on the table, it said they missed me, they may be back so no need to worry.

There in between my bedroom and living room was a small whip on the floor. Confused I picked it up when I pulled a trap without notice as a bucket of water pored over me. Knowing I was in no danger I closed my eye's as it splashed over my head. The bucket coming down on me with leaves and dirt scattering and sticking to my wet self and floor.

"Like I said, lock your door." I heard Kakashi yell through my door. I then opened my eyes looking around but I could not help but smile. I got him to get revenge and the tone of his voice made me delighted as he sounded happy.

Okay I am glad I came back. I miss them still but Kakashi makes me feel like being back here was worth it. Now to plan my own revenge. With hope this will be a war. I am coming for you my man.
