Chapter 6: The Start of the Gap

The dark, ominous red sky appeared again. Akarei could feel her limbs being tugged by the seams, the woman to her left more catatonic than last time, and the man to her right screaming and cursing at an unknown woman. Someone whom he kept calling 'Uzumaki Rei'.

Akarei groaned with agony, as she tried to stay as still as possible, but the man to her right kept fighting against the red strings. Tears fell from her eyes, as she tried to calm the man down.

"P-Please. Stop moving."

He turned to her, a hateful gaze in his eyes. "Be quiet you little pest. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you or that stupid man."

Akarei held in her tight breathes, as she bit her lip to try and distract herself from this hellish nightmare. She kept repeating the same mantra to herself that it wasn't real, none of this was. It was all a nightmare.

Out of the pool of blood they were hanging above, wispy thin branches slowly grew. The dead branches twirled about, pushing and tearing at the other people hanging in the red lines. The branches enveloped a purple casing, that slowly disintegrated as it came out of the ground. In the middle was a woman, with red hair. It contrasted against her pale luminescent skin, as she seemed to shine in this hellish place. A god amongst this hell.

"You! I'll-" Akarei cried out as the man beside her lunged forward, pulling her closer towards this ethereal woman. The woman smirked, and simply raised her palm and the man slumped forward, as if he suddenly fell unconscious.

"I'm not here to visit you piece of swine. I'm here to see my adorable Akarei."

Akarei's eyebrows scrunched in confusion.

"Don't look at me with such doubt. You know me and I know you. You just don't know it yet." Akarei felt some truth to the statement, for she did not fear this woman.

"I'm Uzumaki Rei. I knew your father, Uchiha Yuto."

Akarei blinked confused. Was this nightmare some sort of vision. Was she- "Are you my mo-"

"Oh heavens no. I could never keep a body this fit if I had a kid." The woman giggled, which made Akarei feel uncomfortable, but not in danger. "I did come to check up on you, because I felt your chakra activate in the most peculiar way."

Akarei thought back on how she made Toshiharu and Obito fall asleep. "I-I..."

"I know what you did. There's nothing wrong with you child." The woman walked up to her closer, her movements swift and fluid-like. She moved around like she had no strings, nothing weighing her down. As if she owned gravity itself. "It is just a self-protection mechanism that I built into you, for your brother."

"My... what are you-"

"Hush child, I do not like to be questioned. Just listen. When you become a genin you will not be placed with your brother." Akarei's blood ran cold. "I need you to prepare yourself to be able to not be close to him. I know of your insane worrying. If you practice at it, you will be at ease with being away from him."

Her coy smile somehow brought hope to Akarei, she knew it would be a problem in the future. It would not be something she could allow herself to do, it would be a hindrance to Obito. But she promised him, that she wouldn't leave his side.

"I promised him though, I wouldn't-"

"It doesn't have to be physically by his side. You've read in books that you should keep your enemies closer than your friends. If you wish to truly protect your brother, you should seek out his enemies and befriend them. It's easier to kill someone who doesn't have their guard to you, no?"

Akarei could see the reasoning, but she didn't want to hurt Obito.

"I know I know. But sometimes love hurts us all. Yes, I can read your thoughts, Akarei. I created you, how could I not?" The woman twirled her finger in through Akarei's hair, as her ice cold eyes shimmering with excitement. "I cannot control you, but all I can do is give you advice. Advice on protecting your brother. It's what your father would have wanted, right?" She turned around as she held up her arms, gesturing to the world around them.

"Is this what you want for Obito? To be surrounded in death, malice, anger, hate, deceit, sorrow, and fear? You can prevent that, you just have to know how. If anything, teach him to be strong. For you cannot fight all of his battles, was that not proven just last night. You had to tie him to a rock. What if no one had come by, or even worse, the foreign ninjas had found them tied like that. A sack of gold just waiting to be picked up by a thief."

Akarei felt the dread of such a fate happening to her brother. Her heart felt like it would stop.

"Please, no more. Don't say anything, anymore!" Her tears fell down more out of fear, than out of pain.

Rei came closer as she wiped them away with her thumb. "There, there child. If you listen to me, I can help you to help your brother. He really can only protect himself, right?"

Akarei definitely agreed with the woman's thinking. But her brother was stubborn. If he didn't like something, he wouldn't agree to it.

"What if he doesn't like any of my ideas?"

She smiled, but it was not friendly. "Well, then we won't have to tell him. Or you can just let him die."

Akarei's blood went cold.

"No, Obito won't-"

"Yes, he will." Akarei couldn't move her mouth, as the woman clenched her jaw in a tight vice grip with her hand. "Do you see all these people here. They are dead. As you once were. Yet you can prevent your brother's from occurring. Your own fate you cannot care for, because it will never change. But Obito's can. Do you understand?"

Akarei nodded her head, knowing to be still and not fight back. She felt the same as she had when she had seen a snake coil up. You don't threaten what can kill you. The woman sneered, as she looked to the sky. "Damn sun. Can't rest for more than 8 hours during the summer can you."

Suddenly Akarei felt a stab to her chest, as the woman pushed something into her right side. Her breathing wavered, as she felt an immense pressure and pain before it subsided. She smirked. "Two hearts, to prepare you for what is to come. I won't be seeing you in a long time."

Akarei jumped up, breathing for air as the morning light shined in. Obito moaned and tugged his sister back down into his makeshift pillow. "Ten more minutes..." Obito moaned, as he drew the sheets a little closer to himself. She felt the slight drool on her shoulder as she sighed.

A nightmare. It was just a nightmare. None of it was real. That woman isn't real. Her name probably doesn't even exist. Akarei glanced over at the clock. The hour and minute hands were stopped. At the time of 6:24. She knew it couldn't be 6:24, as the sun was way too high for that. She slowly pulled her pillow to replace her, as she climbed over Obito. He moved further in, as he tried to place himself further into the blissful warmth of the bed. Akarei tucked him in, before wandering about their home.

Akarei's footsteps echoed softly against the kitchen tile, as she looked to the clock. 9:30. A more reasonable time. Her grandmother should be out in the garden about this time.

Atsuko entered, carrying some greens and herbs, as Akarei noticed her presence. She quickly helped, opening and closing the door behind her.

"Oh Akarei, you are awake? You didn't want to sleep more? You went to bed pretty late last night."

Akarei shook her head, as Atsuko placed her goods on the table. "Did you want anything to eat?"

Akarei could feel a strange weight on her chest, right where she had been stabbed by the woman, but shook her head no. She didn't feel hungry, but strange. She felt she should wait until Obito came down to eat.

"Well then. How about you help me clean up outside. I've done quite a lot of weeding, and we can give it to Kagami-kun's daughter. I hear she is trying to compost for the first time."

Akarei nodded, before running upstairs to get ready. She ran over to her bed, as she shook Obito. He groaned, "What is it? I'm not ready to get up yet."

"I'm going to go with grandma over to Kagami's. Is that okay?"

"Yah yah. Can't I get some sleep around here. You were tossing and turning like crazy last night."

"Sorry." Akarei quickly tucked him back in, and drew the heavy curtains so the sunlight would be caught outside the room. Akarei looked at her dark room, where only a sliver of light hung over her brother. It was weird to say, how the sight made her swell up with happiness.

"Bye, Obito-nii."

Kagami held a curious brow when he saw Atsuko being followed by a pile of weeds, until he recognized the little feet underneath.

"I'll lead you to the back yard young one. I don't want dirt being trekked all over my daughter's house."

Akarei followed Kagami, as she set the weeds down, when she saw her. A woman with wild black hair, holding onto a small child who was half waddling and half walking with her. As she looked at the child, she couldn't help but feel a sense of dreariness and ill-boded fate for the child.

"Hello there. You must be Akarei. I've heard a lot about you from my father."

Akarei recognized that fake smile. This woman was like most of the Uchiha clan. Suspicious of her.

"Hello. My grandmother talked about you too, Emiko-san."

The woman picked up her child, as she continued her fake friendliness. "I hope only good things. Kenshi-kun!" Suddenly a man poofed into the back yard. "Could you take Shisui inside, I don't want him to get dirty." Akarei understood this statement to be somewhat directed at her, but kept her expression blank. The man took the child in, and Akarei continued to stand outside.

Soon it seemed yelling was apparent in the house, as Emiko looked in worriedly. Akarei moved to enter the house, but Emiko put a hand on her shoulder. "You wait here, I'll go inside."

Akarei waited a few minutes, hearing strange voices. She could recognize her grandmother's yelling, but it seemed that Kagami's voice was also in her wake, trying to calm her down. There were other elderly voices, but Akarei didn't recognize them.

Atsuko came out, seeming bristled and angry. "Akarei and I will see ourselves out. Good day Emiko and Kagami-kun."

Kagami rushed out, while his daughter watched from the house.

"Atsuko, it isn't like that. It's just you know how Kenshiki's parents are-"

"You don't need to defend them, Kagami-kun."

Akarei felt herself being dragged by her arm, as her grandmother picked up speed to get away from that house.

There had been times when this had occurred before, but this was the first time Akarei had been alone with her grandmother while it happened. Obito would usually be next to her and they would focus on other things, but her mind began to wander. Wander on darker thoughts.

"Grandma, am I really an Uchiha?"

They were in front of their house, as Atsuko's grip loosened. Akarei could feel her chakra burst with a sadness that she had at times when she looked at her father's photo.

"Of course you are. There is no doubt in my mind. And there shouldn't be any in your's." She bopped the top of her nose, as she smiled and they went inside.

"You are finally back! I'm starving!" Obito's voice rang out from Akarei's bedroom.

"It's supposed to be 'Welcome home', young man!" Grandmother replied back.

"I'm home." Akarei mumbled, as she went back into her regular routine.

Akarei watched her brother walk out of the class as he dropped her off. Her class was now down to 10 people. It had been a couple of weeks since the forest fire, but it seemed time gone by too quickly since then. Obito had been bumped down with Rin and the others. It seemed as if they were trying to find people, certain people of strength, intelligence, and integrity. Why she was still among those ten, made her feel uneasy. She didn't belong here. She needed to be with her brother.

"Uchiha Akarei, Sarutobi Asuma, and Hatake Kakashi!" The three rose, walking to the front of the classroom.

"By the end of the month you'll have these jutsu's to complete. If you do, you will be automatically ranked at genin. With the new war front we're on, we'll need more ninja's in the ranks." Tetsuno seemed to be glaring at Kakashi, but Akarei and Asuma did not respond.

They all took their papers, as Tetsuno passed it out to the rest of the class. He knew the others had no chance, but they were part of the "prodigy" class, and he had to keep an act up to not let them know he only believed Kakashi, Akarei, and Asuma were the only ones he thought would be able to accomplish the task.

Tetsuno then headed towards the door. One of the students cried out. "Where are you going Tetsuno-sensei! The day isn't over, yet?"

He looked back. "It is for me. You don't need to attend anymore. If you complete that list you'll be genin. If you don't, you'll be ranked down with the other students and join their class. I don't have any more obligation to lead your class."

With that he left.

The others slowly began to leave, as Akarei stood still. One by one they left the classroom, as Akarei slowly sat back down. Kakashi turned back to her.

"Didn't you hear him? He isn't going to come back, and we don't have anymore reason to either."

"I'm going to wait for Obito." Akarei continued looking down at the paper list of jutsu's.

Kakashi's brow bristled, as his feet pounded against the floor as he made his way over to her. "It's always Obito this, Obito that! Don't you realize he isn't going to become a ninja. Sure he knows a few moves, but overall he sucks! Him spouting out that he's going to become Hokage, is just a big farce to cover up how weak he is."

Akarei could feel her anger growing, as she glared at the Hatake. "Don't talk about my brother like that. Or..." She didn't say anything, afraid of what she was going to say. She turned her gaze back down to her paper.

But Kakashi wasn't done. "Or what? You'll beat me up? Is that going to change anything. Your brother will still be weak, and by the end of this month, I'll be a genin. See this list of jutsu's." He motioned to over half of them. "I've already learned these. Just learning 2 more in a month is more than enough time for me. For your brother it'll probably take him all 4 years to barely get the basics down of these. Why don't you just tell him to quit already?"

"Because he won't!" Akarei yelled back. "Look if you want to start a fight, we'll spar down stairs. I don't need to be the end talk of your anger, just because you need someone to be your punching bag." Akarei got her stuff together, as Kakashi backed up.

"I thought you said you were going to wait for Obito?"

"I'm going to kick your ass first, and then wait." Akarei replied.

The two students went out onto the vacant training grounds. Where they were visible to the other classes.

Rin looked outside, as she saw Kakashi and Akarei preparing with the Seal of Confrontation. She immediately raised her hand, as Yamanoue called on her.

"Yes, Nohara-san?"

"Kakashi-kun and Akarei-chan are outside about to fight without a teacher, sir!" Suddenly students went to the windows, as everyone peered out.

Obito opened a window, as he shouted out. "Kick his ass, Rei-chan!"

Yamanoue just sighed. "I'm afraid Nohara-san, that Tetsuno's class has been dissolved. They are practically free to do as they wish until the end of this month when their final exam comes up."

Rin looked out, as Obito next to her was cheering on his sister, as others cheered on for either Kakashi or Akarei. Rin looked out worriedly, as the two faced each other.

Kakashi and Akarei glared at one another, waiting for the moment to fight. Suddenly they both charged at one another, Kakashi throwing a punch, while Akarei blocked and swung with a kick. Kakashi easily caught her kick with a block by his own leg as they continued to throw hits at one another. Gai looked on from the lower ranked class, as he could hear the cheers from his own and other classrooms. Teachers either tried to get their classes under control or strolled up to the window to also view the fight.

Kakashi landed the first real hit, as his foot connected with Akarei's gut. His hands went through a few seals.

"Earth Style: Mud Wave!"

The ground shook, as a wave of earth came towards Akarei. Her hands went flying, as she took in a deep breath.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball!" The fire shot through the earth, making it crumble, as Kakashi countered with another ninjutsu.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

A miniature wall formed, enough to cover Kakashi's form as it was blown a bit back by the fire, but served it's purpose to protecting him. After the smoke he stood to get a view of the field, but he couldn't see Akarei. Not in front or behind. His eyes wavered around him, before he realized where she was coming from. She must be up above!

Akarei had been falling, with a kunai in hand. Kakashi quickly pulled one out as they collided. Metal striking metal, the sparks flew in a fury around them and the sound punctured the air with a shrill high note. Akarei clicked her tongue, as they both fell back a bit from the impact. She quickly sprinted forward, thrusting forward, as Kakashi defended. A little too zealous on going on the offensive, Akarei left herself open underneath her right side.

Kakashi fell, and then moved to disarm her, as came up wrapping an arm around her and throwing her behind him, using her added momentum. She quickly ditched her weapon, as she landed on her hands, before getting Kakashi's head in a lock between her legs. Kakashi made a motion to stab her, but she immediately threw him away, as she fell to the ground and Kakashi's kunai hit nothing but air. She was on all fours like an animal, panting, while Kakashi stood there, catching his breath.

Akarei moved for her fallen kunai, as Kakashi rushed at her. She quickly moved her hands as quickly as she could.

"Clone Jutsu!"

Three Akarei's were now rushing, as Kakashi threw three shuriken at them. One of them quickly dodged, as the other two were too slow. They quickly popped as the real one slid to grab her kunai. I really came unprepared... I should have maybe kept more than a kunai when Obito and I split up the gear. She shook her head as now was not the time to dwell on useless thoughts of regret.

They once again clashed, as Akarei threw a punch, Kakashi catching it. Kakashi's eyes narrowed, wondering if this was Akarei's real potential. She had never been so offensive before in a fight. He was expecting this to be slow and calculating, but here she was constantly going on the offensive. Usually she would wait for the first few hits to be thrown, and then engage when her attacker was a little winded and end the fight. But here she was sweating and taking in gulps of air, as they both were trying to really fight each other.

Kakashi didn't want to admit it, but she was a formidable opponent. Kakashi let go of Akarei's punch, but gripped her wrist as she fell forward. Akarei's eyes narrowed. So he thinks he is going to get the Ram Toss on me.Akarei quickly pushed back on her left hand, as the two kunai clashed, Kakashi's falling out of his hand. He always loosened his grip right before he has to toss his opponent. Saves him risk of straining or breaking something, but I get to use that to my advantage. Akarei smirked, as she also grabbed on Kakashi's arm. His eyes widened, as she was preparing for a the counter move, the Tiger's Throw. He grabbed hold of Akarei's shirt, making her fall off balance as they both fell onto each other.

A collective painful groan could be heard from the classrooms, as they watched. They could barely see anything through the dust that was collecting in the air.

Akarei quickly opened her eyes as she assessed the situation. She was on top of Kakashi, but she could feel a light pressure on her chest. She looked down and saw Kakashi's hand there, as he too, was opening his eyes and assessing the situation. She immediately felt something grope her. Kakashi immediately flustered as he stammered out.

"I-I..."

From there Akarei bit down on Kakashi's hand, as he let out a yelp. He quickly threw sand in her eyes, and soon enough it was just them pulling the dirtiest of moves, as Kakashi pulled at her hair, and Akarei was very close to landing a crotch shot. The fight continued to stir up dust and random yelps coming from both students.

Tetsuno-sensei strolled back from his meeting with the Hokage about the prospective students, he agreed on the list, but Sarutobi had mentioned he wouldn't pay him if he just left the academy. He would still have paper work to do and maybe could find something to preoccupy his time there. For he certainly wasn't going to pay him, if he wasn't in the building.

However Tetsuno did not imagine he'd see a dirty fight happening in the courtyard, between Kakashi and Akarei with kids screaming from the windows. He just shook his head, more work for him and less vacation time that he desired.

"Okay you two break it up."

He quickly caught them by their collars, before Kakashi could lunge and land his 'Thousand Yearｓ of Death' technique on Akarei.

He took notice of how they were covered in scratch marks, and Kakashi looked like he had a bite mark on his hand.

"Didn't I teach you two to fight like ninja's? What's with this dog fight?"

"He started it! He-He!" Tetsuno saw Akarei's face turn red. Her yelling quickly devolved into a silent whisper. "He did something unspeakable."

Tetsuno turned curiously to Kakashi, as Kakashi also seemed to be flustered. "I didn't... She... I was only trying to prevent myself from being caught in a Tiger Throw!"

Tetsuno looked between the two, and it was obvious he wasn't going to get any answers as to what 'something unspeakable' happened.

"Okay well fight's over, now make the reconciliation seal."

Akarei really wanted to protest, but the glare she was getting from Tetsuno was one where she knew she could not bullshit her way through.

She held out her hand, as she looked away from Kakashi. Kakashi did the same. She quickly muttered.

"This never happened."

Kakashi only agreed with a nod, and added a short sentence. "Your brother isn't going to become Hokage."

Akarei quickly left, but not before blurting out, "You aren't a real ninja yet, your words don't hold any value." Kakashi bristled, but quickly stalked off.

Tetsuno looked between the two. That was one weird tension filled situation, especially between those two. He scratched the back of his head. He quietly spoke to himself, "What really happened to those two?"

Obito got out late, as he ran to Akarei's classroom, where she was reading a book. He peered at the title quickly. Something about the 2nd Hokage and his battle tactics.

"Hey Rei-chan, we can go home now!" She didn't move.

Obito walked up to her, before giving her a rough shove. She easily recovered, as she steadied herself by gripping the table. She looked questionably at her brother. He motioned with his thumb to the door.

"You know home, where everyone goes when school ends, except you?"

She nodded. "Sorry, didn't hear you."

"Caught up in your books again." Obito and Akarei walked side by side, as they exited the Academy.

"Yah it was getting interesting. The 2nd Hokage apparently could pull out Water Techniques from thin air. All he'd do was use his saliva to make up the water and-"

Obito stopped his little sister's fan-rambling, which she was getting way into ever since she started doing more advanced training with Kagami. "Too disgusting. I don't wanna hear how the 2nd hacked up a loogie and defeated his foes with it. Say Rin-chan said that there was a new show airing that she's watching. It's a cartoon about this psychic character-"

Akarei looked at her brother confused. "Psychic character?"

Obito gave a sigh, as he ran a hand through his hair. Akarei always needed an explanation for things she didn't understand. "He basically has a power where he can manipulate the way objects move and stuff without touching it... but there's also spirits he can exorcise. Anyways I'll explain more of it later, but his name is Mob and he's like the strongest in the show-"

Akarei pouted, as Obito continued on as if she knew the full meaning of the word 'psychic'. "You know I don't like it when you leave out the explanation..."

"Shhhh Rei-chan, let your Nii-chan finish." He held up a finger to her mouth, as her eyebrows drew closer together in a scowl. He cleared his throat, as he continued. "Anyways Mob is like one the strongest in the show, but he doesn't really show of his powers. He is 'socially awkward' is how Rin-chan put it, but he can't really get along well with others. He gets along well with his family, but has a hard time in his school. Rin brought it up, because she was telling me how he kinda reminds her of you."

"I don't see how I'm similar... I wish I could manipulate things and the way they move without touching them, but it takes a lot of physical activity on my part." Akarei replied.

"No no no. You remind her that you sometimes have a hard time making friends, and how you don't really show off. Not like how you were fighting Kakashi today. It's the first time I've ever seen you use the Fireball Technique out of the Compound. Why, I think that's the first time I've ever seen you fight like that."

"Oh."

Akarei continued walked with Obito, as he walked.

"So I think you should watch the show, kinda examine how similar you two are and maybe tell me more things about it that seem smart so I can tell Rin-chan..."

Akarei's face sagged with disappointment. More and more often Obito was trying to impress Rin-chan, and Obito's number one person to help him out was her. Akarei didn't know if this feeling in her chest was out of annoyance because of Obito asking her to do mundane things that didn't benefit their future's or how Rin seemed to have such a hold on Obito's thought process.

"Fine. But only if you do your laundry every week." Obito groaned.

"But Granny has said she's fine with doing our laundry. I still don't know why you do it when she doesn't ask us to."

"Obito, sometimes when you are able to help others, especially ones we love, we help. So if I'm helping you and taking time off my own schedule to do research on this show for you to sound smart for Rin, the least you do is do your laundry."

Obito clicked his tongue. "Fine. But what 7 year old does his laundry?"

"An Uchiha." Akarei quickly replied, as Obito sulked on their walk home.

Tetsuno looked at Akarei, as he sat at a table lined up with Konoha headbands, the leaf symbol etched in the middle.

Only Akarei, Asuma, and Kakashi now stood in front of them. The other students were cut and sent back to class or given the option to go join the genin reinforcements. One orphan joined, while the other 6 went back to class.

"Asuma step forward."

He stepped forward, while rolling his eyes at his father who was also in the room, along with other men that Akarei didn't recognize. There was a man with bright yellow hair, another with brown hair, but a scar on his chin in the shape of an "X". Those were the only two that seemed to stand out to her for a strange reason, the others she couldn't really place.

"Behind me are the Hokage Sarutobi, Councilman Danzo, and potential teachers you would work underneath. If you could perform the Clone Technique, Body Replacement Technique, and the Transformation Technique-"

"Meh I'll pass." Tetsuno's eyebrow scrunched in frustration.

"What-"

"I'm just going to head back to the academy." He walked out the door, as Sarutobi shook his head. Kakashi and Akarei stared at his back as he left, Kakashi looked at him like he had grown a second head, while Akarei looked at him with awe.

"Alrighty then, Kakashi you're next. Perform all three jutsu's. You pass if you do them up to standard."

Kakashi quickly went through the Clone Techinique, and then Transformed into a kunai, and followed up with a Body Replacement Technique switching himself out with a real kunai.

"You pass. Congratulations." Kakashi picked up his kunai, as he headed on over to the table.

"Your teacher will be Namikaze Minato. I'm sure you already know who that is." Kakashi took his headband and stood beside the blonde haired man. The man patted the top of his head, as Kakashi just stood there.

"Akarei, do the same. Or walk out like Asuma to go join your brother." Tetsuno lightly teased. Akarei bristled, as she walked up. Her grandmother had already expressed great joy at her accomplishments. But if she did this, she wouldn't be able to go back to the academy and wait for Obito. She'd be out on missions. But it would be a new experience in her life that could help her advise Obito. She'd be leaving Obito's side, but it was advantageous for both of them, even if Obito couldn't understand.

"Akarei, please perform them today, we all have busy schedules."

She shook her head, as her mind was warbled with thoughts of whether to stay or go. She quickly did a Clone Techinique, used the Transformation Techinque to become a shuriken, before she used the Body Replacement Technique to replace herself with a real shuriken. She quickly manipulated the wires attached to the shuriken to bring it back to herself. Her hand gripped the weapon as she realized she had now taken a leap away from Obito.

"Congratulations, you pass." Akarei came up to the table, her limbs moving stiff and jagged as if she were a robot, as she picked up her headband.

The man with the scar on his chin smiled, but it creeped Akarei out.

"You will now be with Councilman Shimura Danzo." Tetsuno's voice rang out, but Akarei would only feel the feeling of regret pooling in her stomach. She couldn't tell if it's because she would now have less time with Obito or because the thought of spending more time with this unfamiliar man made her spine crawl.

Zomg I'm finally done (well not really I just haven't been working too hard at me stories)

Been really caught up in animes and manga and shit...

And with me job to pay for all me hobbies

Well I hope you enjoyed this! Hopefully I'll be able to update my other stories after I've worked on them for a bit.
