I woke up the next day to the sun's light touching my skin. I groaned and rolled over to avoid the brightness. I tried to go back to sleep but it wasn't working.

Stupid sunlight.

I finally sat up and put my hand to my head trying to remember what happen. A flash of red eyes appeared in my mind and I sighed remembering the incident. I got up and got ready and placed my forehead protector on my forehead this time and headed downstairs. My body was still a little sore but I was able to move just fine. I used too much of Haya’s power, no wonder I’m so sore.

'You know what happens when try to use too much of my power. This pain is your fault.' I heard Haya state.

'Yeah, yeah, my body won't be able to handle it, and my body will destroy itself from the inside out. I got it. It won't happen again.' I muttered as, I rubbed my arm that was in pain.

I saw Tsunami by the stove cooking what looked to be curry. She seemed to notice my presence and turned and gave me one of her warm smiles.

"Good morning Reika." She said turning back.

"Good morning." I replied, sitting in one of the chairs.

I looked around the room and noticed that Inari wasn't here helping his mother like he usually does. I turned to Tsunami with a curious look.

"Uh where's Inari? I thought he'd be down here by now." I asked.

Tsunami set a plate of curry in front of me.

"He's in the bathroom. Don't worry, he should be out soon." Tsunami said smiling.

I looked down at the food and started to eat. When I was about to take my last bit of food, a scream was heard. Hm, guess Naruto’s up. I stood up quickly and looked around. Soon an orange figure was speeding down the stairs.

"Naruto? What are you doing?" I asked. Naruto looked at me. His hair was a mess and there was drool on the side of his mouth. He was barely wearing any clothes either. Just his boxers, which were blue with yellow fishes. 'What a loser.' I chuckled

"Everyone's gone! They left without us!" He yelled. I sighed and sat back down.

"Kakashi-Sensei said we could stay here for the day. No worries."

"Sasuke's gone too! That obviously means something important is going on! They probably ditched us!" He yelled.

"They wouldn't do that...would they?" I asked myself.

"We have to go now! Come on!" He said tugging on my hand.

"Tell Inari that we'll be back so-" I stopped myself.

"Reika what's wrong?" Naruto asked. I put a hand over his mouth and shh'd.

I started to listen carefully. Someone was coming. I quietly walked over to the door and pressed my ear next to it and listened. I could the muffling of voices on the other side. Naruto soon came to my side and gave me a serious look. I gave him a look telling him something was wrong. He nodded and walked back to Tsunami and Inari who just came back from the bathroom. I listened a little more.

"Lets just break the damn door down and kill them!" The voice said. That was enough for me. I backed away and grabbed the handle. I swung the door open and the men looked at me surprised.

"Oi, losers!" I shouted.

I pulled my fist back and spoke,

"You guys need to get lost!"

My fist smashed into one guys face while the other one got a foot in the face by Naruto. They both fell backward, the one that got kicked in the face got back up and went after me. The guy pulled out a sword and swung at me. I got on my hands and knees to dodge it. I swung my leg out and knocked out his legs from under him. He fell and hit his head on the ground. I stood up and looked over at the other guy that Naruto confronted. Naruto had used his Kage Bunshin no Jutsu on him and all five Narutos punched him right in the face.

The man fell to the ground also, landing next to the other unconsicous guy. Naruto and I tied them together and looked at each other.

"This obviously means something bad is happening." I said. Naruto nodded in agreement.

"You guys stay here! Were going to go down to the bridge! We'll be back!" Naruto said.

I looked over at Inari and saw him begin to sniff. I gave him a confident look and he soon wiped his eyes away and nodded. I gave them one of my rare smiles before leaving with Naruto to the bridge.

~At the Bridge

Naruto made himself a target and made a big explosive entrance. I saw how Sasuke was trapped inside of Crystal Ice Mirrors. Dammit Uchiha. What the hell did you get yourself into? While everyone was distracted I decided to take this chance and run towards the mirrors. I quickly made hand signs and blew fire at the mirrors, but it only melted a little. Damn.

I looked closer inside where the mirror was surrounded, and saw... Naruto? What is he doing now?

Screams were heard. I turned my head to see the boy with the mask attacking both Sasuke and Naruto. Not thinking, I quickly ran inside. Neither of them had noticed me. Naruto then used his Kage Bunshin and began to attack the mirrors with them. The masked boy appeared in front of one of them and attacked Naruto. He was going so fast my eyes could barely follow him. I concentrated hard and waited.

The boy was about to head into a mirror so I quickly jumped up, grabbed both of his ankles and swung him to the other side of the mirror house. He slammed into one and slid down off of it. I pulled out a kunai and flung it at him. It hit him in the shoulder and he let out a cry. I dropped to the ground with a thud.

"R-Reika?" a surprised voice said and I looked over at Sasuke and Naruto.

"Yo," I greeted them. Naruto just smiled.

"I thought you guys could use some help." I said straightening up. Sasuke's eyes were wide. I looked at the Uchiha and smirked,

"Looks like I'm gonna have to save your ass again, huh Uchiha?”

The boy with the mask stood back up. He pulled the kunai out from his shoulder and slipped back into the mirror.

"How could someone have followed along with my speed? It's not noticeable to the human eye..."

I stared at the boy with a hard glare. He stared directly at me before pulling out sebon needles and soon the masked boy appeared in all the mirrors.

The boy threw them again. I pulled one of my kunai out and began to block as many as I could. When they weren't being thrown anymore I looked over at Naruto and Sasuke.

"This is a bloodline limit! Just like Kakashi's Sharingan!" I stated blocking another round of needles.

"But that means...There is no way of stopping it!" Sasuke said blocking some of the needles also. Naruto was about to pass out. When the attack finished he fell to the ground and began panting.

"So what..." Naruto struggled to his knees. Sasuke was getting back up also. At this rate both of them were going to pass out...

"This ain’t over," Naruto said.

"Not by a long shot. We, all of us, have dreams to full fill!"

He paused, his head lowered. This was my chance, I pulled out a kunai but a stabbing pain hit me hard. I winced but stayed on my feet. I took a deep breath and forgot about the unknown pain.

"Reika! You alright?" Sasuke asked. I nodded not able to speak. It was hard to forget about the pain.

Looking for Naruto I saw him passed out on the floor. Dammit, just what I needed. Time passed and Sasuke and I were doing everything to protect Naruto until, once again my body felt a stabbing pain again, but unlike the last one, this one made my head spin. I groaned and fell to the ground and passed out.

Moments later I regain consiousness and my eyes fluttered open.

I looked around and saw Naruto was awake. I looked closer and saw that he was staring at something with a mixture of shock and horror on his face. I heard a grunt and then looked up.

Sasuke stood before me with sebon needles in every part of his body. There was a pool of blood underneath him and he wobbled on his feet. I heard him cough and looked back up. He was staring at something and you looked over. I saw Haku unconscious on the ground. Sasuke chuckled making me looked back him.

"Looks like I saved your ass this time, huh Tsukimaru," he said weakly. I was too shocked to say anything.

"What the hell happened? You were fine at first...t-then you just collapsed." He said smirking at me. A thin line of blood dripped from his mouth. Whatever Haku had tried to do, he was aiming toward me. Sasuke had taken the hit and now he was like this. Why? Why the hell did he do something so stupid?

"Why did you do that? You didn't have to do that! I never asked you to help me! Protect your own life, not give it away when times are troubling! YOU BAKA!" I screamed not noticing the tears that prickled the corners of my eyes. All Sasuke did was smirk.

"Why are you asking me stupid questions? Like the hell I know. M-My body just moved on It's own."

He began to tip backwards, and I caught him from behind and stared at him with wide eyes. Naruto was soon on the other side of Sasuke.

"H-he's still out there. M-my brother. I wanted to stay alive and kill him. I-I guess it isn't going to happen." He said looking from me to Naruto. His eyes began to haze over. My hands began to tremble under him.

"Shut up! Stop talking like that! Your gonna be fine!" I spoke, but I knew the truth and so did he.

He gave me a smile and weakly lifted his hand up and placed it on my cheek. My body tensed at this action, but I soon grabbed his hand and held it there, closing your eyes.

"You're so stupid," he whispered.

The light in his eyes started to slowly drift away until there was nothing there. His eyes soon closed and then there was nothing I could do. His hand went limp and fell to his side.

My hands were trembling violently now. I shook Sasuke's body.

"Hey! Wake up! Uchiha wake up! Open you eyes! Uchiha!" I cried. My heart felt as if it had broken in two. Tears escaped from my eyes. I haven't cried for a long time...

"SASUKE!"

So why now...why for him?
