Tayuya: Hmm, this is how things should be, I won't say much other than, hell yeah, I got a story. Oh, and before I forget, that fuck Konsu doesn't own Naruto

Darkness clouded her vision and mind. There was nothing, no breath, no thoughts, no light, no sound, nothing. The girl sinks in darkness. The things called memories slow fades in the darkness. Emptiness overtakes her. She was fading in the darkness. Though she couldn't see, she could feel it spiritually. First her right leg fades, and then her left. Minutes later, her arms went, and finally her body, leaving only her head. There was nothing to save her, she was dead, and she would sink into oblivion where she knew would be her new home.

The girl closes her eyes, allowing her own darkness to overcome the darkness of the strange world she was in.

"Not yet,"

A voice, a soft, loving voice cuts through the darkness; it calls out to her, almost desperately.

"You can't die, not yet,"

The girl could feel her body returning.

"Do you hear me? You can't fade into the darkness, I won't allow it,"

The girl could feel her arms and legs returning.

"You still have much to do,"

The girl's senses slowly return, she could think once more, the emptiness within her slowly fades, and her memories return.

'I...I know that voice, but from where?'

The girl opens her eyes and winces as a bright light hits it.

"That's it, come back, it's too early for you to go,"

The voice stops echoing half way through its speech.

"You...don't belong here yet,"

Sitting up, the girl turns to see a red-haired woman standing a few feet away from her, where many other red heads, with some purple heads, men and woman alike standing behind her, they all faceless, they all, but the woman had shadows covering their faces.

"Tayuya-chan, it's too early for you to be on this stage,"

The woman kneels to the stun ninja's side, and smiles gently at her.

"Go back; there are people who need you,"

Tayuya (14) scowls, her eyes narrowing.

"Who the fuck would need me; I'll tell you, no one,"

The woman chuckles and bops the girl quite hard on the head.

"Your older sister for one," Tayuya's scowl deepens. "And the other, well, you know who. I know how you wish to bridge a connection with him, and the way things turned out like they had, it made it almost impossible to do so," Tayuya's scowl turns dark. "You are going back Tayuya, you don't belong here yet," The woman takes a step back, her long red hair blowing in the wind, her violet eyes glaring down at the seething girl.

"Send me back, is that all you're going to do?" Shouts Tayuya angrily, tears brimming in her eyes. The woman smiles sadly, tears falling from her eyes. "Dammit hug me, tell me you love me, anything, MOTHER!" The woman bows her head, and Tayuya's world fades into nothingness.

- Land of Fire -

- Forest of Fire -

Tayuya groans painfully, she slowly coming too. Blinking the weariness out of her eyes, she wonders what happened, when everything came back; a leaf ninja, a sand ninja, shadows, wind blades, and a hell of a lot trees falling on her. Leaning against a tree, Tayuya curse loudly, not believing how she was taken out.

"Fuck, I got a fucking forest thrown on me," Tayuya seethes. "Damn that Wind Bitch and the Shadow Bastard, if I ever see them again, I'll fucking rip out their throats," Tayuya grins at the idea. 'First though,' Tayuya shakily climbs to her feet, using the tree for support. Legs wobbling terribly, Tayuya smirks, glad she was able to stand. Taking a step, Tayuya falls promptly on her face. Cursing up a storm, Tayuya doesn't stop for a full ten minutes, ranting to the heavens.

Panting, Tayuya rolls on her back, and spits out the dirt and leaves longed in her mouth from the fall, and her stupidity. The dirt, leaves, and saliva shoot in the air, and lands promptly on her face. The girl's eyebrow twitches violently, and her face grows red.

"God, fucking dammit,"

For another ten minutes she curses like a pirate; wild life scatters, feeling the girl's raw emotions filling the air. There was frustration, rage, and utter helplessness. But there was something else radiating from the girl. Her chakra was thickening the air, making it hard for a few of the animals to move about peacefully.

However, there was one animal who stares on at the girl curiously; it thrilled at the feel of the girl's chakra. It was dark, but not too dark. It was light, but not too light. But there was something else, something it didn't particularly like, but felt it could move passed it if the girl proved herself worthy.

Panting once more, Tayuya slowly sits up, feeling more of her power having returned.

"One foot at a time," Left foot up and once more Tayuya uses the tree for support, she standing up once more. "Now foot number two," Tayuya takes her first step, and then her second without falling. "Fuck yeah," Tayuya cheers loudly. Tayuya suddenly flushes in embarrassment, realizing what she just did.

'Shouting like an idiot is unbecoming of a shinobi,' Tayuya narrows her eyes, surveying the area. 'These trees, this land, I'm close to Sound,' Tayuya turned to walk back to her home, when she stops, she glaring grimly at the ground. 'I can't return, Orochimaru will kill me,' There was another reason why she didn't want to return. She couldn't comprehend it, but she felt like she shouldn't go back. It was as if something, no someone was telling her to go in another direction, to take a new path.

The wind blows to the west, it drawing Tayuya's full attention. Facing the west, Tayuya felt a hand give her shove, pushing her forward. Stumbling forward, Tayuya bites back a vicious curse. Snapping her head back, she saw nothing, no one, and this confused and scared her. The fear fades feeling the wind swirling around her, almost like a hug, and she heard a faint voice, it tickling her ears, filling her with warmth so familiar she nearly cries.

I love you Tayu-chan, now go on, this is your chance

The wind blows fiercely once more, the leaves from the ground travels high in the sky, leaving with the wind. Tayuya stares in the sky for a long moment, her hair shadowing her eyes. A single tear slide down the right side of Tayuya's face, and she cracks a small smirk.

"I understand mama," Tayuya lowers her head and stares to the west. "I'll listen without any arguments...just this once," Tayuya slowly walks to the west, heading to where her new beginnings will start, all with a wild grin.

To the Land of Waves, everything will begin there, and she will bring together her family, even if the odds were stacked against her.

Because, to Tayuya, odds meant shit to her, because her family was known for always going against such odds, and that's why society considered the monsters, that's why they're clan and land was wiped out.

Tayuya smirks coldly, it dripping with darkness. The smirk suddenly drops and Tayuya reaches for her holster, and scowls, realizing why she was feeling so off other than miraculously cheating death.

"My flute,"

Tayuya grips her head in frustration and throws it back screaming, scaring everything in a five mile radius.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FLUTE?"
