"SEAL!" I heard gramps yell. I groggily sat up, holding my head. "Kid!" I looked back and saw a monkey. Trees obstructed the outside viewers and I saw Gramps and Orochimaru, but Gramps was falling backwards.

"Grandpa!" I yelled and caught him only to have the sword sticking out of his back, that the monkey held, cut my arm and thigh. Blood stained his cloak that I was wearing and his hat slumped over my eyes.

"Grandpa!" I held his head to my shoulder after I yanked out his sword. "Orochimaru!" Four voices yelled. I glared up at Orochimaru with my Sharingan.

I ignored what he said and the others yelled. I kept my eyes locked on him as I held Grandpas body to me. He humphed as the four appeared.

"What about the brat?" I saw the sand flare around gramps. "Leave her. I'll get her soon enough. Lets go." They disappeared. I looked down at gramps. He was smiling and I frowned.

"Grandpa." I sniffed and leaned over him. "Grandpa!" I sobbed and bit my thumb. "Summoning Jutsu!" My bats appeared and hovered over me.

"You know what to do." I choked. They bowed their heads and took off and swirled around me as they went upwards to tell the others.

I leaned over him again and let out my emotions. I grabbed his hand and held it to my face. "Grandpa! Wake up!" I yelled even though I knew it was useless.

Subconsciously, I reached out to whatever I could. Whatever I felt, I grasped it and tried to let my emotions flow through it. To soothe my aching heart.

I heard screaming and orders being ordered. I could hear roaring water coming towards us and evil presences being crushed. Flowing over known and friendly aura's. Protecting the friendlies.

Something glistened and the sounds were drowned out except the yelling. I threw my head back and let out a sorrowful cry of pain and hurt. The yelling silenced as I cried out.

The water around us flared to my emotions and crushed enemies mercilessly instead of being toyed with. I could practically taste the blood from the instant kill. My cried stopped after the water surrounded us in a dome. I bowed my head and sobbed on his chest.

After what seemed like forever, I heard people landing around me and Gramps. I heard people inhale or gasp at the sight of us.

Tears ran down my face as I leaned back on my heels to look at them from under the Hokage Hat. Jiraiya's eyes softened but I could see the hidden tears that was trying to force their way out of not just his eyes, everyone else's as well.

"Saya..." He whispered and came forward. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" I cried as he took his body. Someone grabbed ahold of me and pulled me into their chest. My arms still held out and shaking. I was covered in both of our blood.

"It's not you're fault." Kakashi whispered in my ear as I sobbed into his vest. "It's not you're fault." He took off the hat and handed it to someone before holding my head closer to him.

I held Saya to me as they took Hiruzen's body away. She kept apologizing even though she was still too young and inexperienced to deal with someone as strong as Orochimaru. She's probably thinking we hate her for not helping him but the truth is, we don't. We know she wasn't strong enough.

"It's not you're fault." I whispered for the millionth time in her ear. I didn't want to say anything that would set her off. She was in too much of a fragile state right now. She was shaking so violently, I was being effected.
