The first exam had passed and now it was only a couple short days until the second exam in the Forest of Death. I wasn't too worried about the nine genin surviving, but something pricked at the back of my mind telling me that I should worry. And that was never a good sign.

Walking along the streets of Konoha I happen to think back to when Sasuke and I were in the Uchiha compound looking for the contract. And the only thing I felt was guilt. He should know that I told the Hokage.

Right as I was thinking this Sasuke appeared from around a corner.

"Sasuke I think we should talk." I said as he drew near.

"I would have to agree." He said and we began walking in the same direction side by side.

Once we found a private place in one of the forested training grounds I began.

"You should know that the two of us aren't the only ones who know about the contract. And even if you have some vendetta against Uchiha Itachi, it doesn't mean that some people shouldn't know." I got straight to the point. I wasn't going to avoid the topic with mindless words.

"I figured as much." He said surprising me.

"And?" I asked.

"And I think you should leave Konoha. You will only bring bad things here. And that doesn't just include Itachi. I'm sure that other guy will be looking for you and not to mention your mysterious past that no one knows." For some reason it actually hurt to hear him say that. His face had remained straight the whole time without even the slightest bit of hesitance.

"I was going to leave, but the Hokage refused to let me go. If you have a problem speak with him." I turned my face to the ground and didn't dare look in his eyes. If I did I felt like I would break. I wasn't needed anymore. Was I ever really?

"Kiko." He tried to speak but I stopped him.

"Let me at least show you one thing, then I will convince the Hokage to let me leave. I don't disagree with you at all and I know that there will be people after me. And I don't want to bring that here." I said with a sullen look.

He didn't reply but stood still waiting. I guess that means yes. 'My lady what do you plan on doing?' A sad look comes across my face. One that hasn't been there for years now. "I will show my armor. Our armor. I need someone to see. And I trust him with this." I replied.

"I will show you what the real me is like. When my two souls can be combined." He looked confused by I didn't pay attention to it. If I was going to do this I had to do it now before I backed out.

Biting my thumb I do the hand signs for the jutsu. "Summoning Jutsu!" I place my hand on the ground and a large puff of smoke appears. When it dispersed the beautiful spirit of Ryujin appeared.

"Ready?" I asked him quietly.

"Wait. What is this?" Sasuke asked surprised.

"My other soul. The spirit that guides me. Whatever you want to call it. He is still Ryujin, the god of the dragons." I say smiling softly.

"Let's begin." 

The same twirling motion was performed around me and soon I was high in the air being held only by the wind Ryujin was creating. When I was brought back down I had on the same gold and red armor that was like a beautiful masterpiece.

"This is the real me I suppose." I said smiling lightly. No one has ever seen me like this and I felt slightly embarrassed.

"It's amazing." He said surprising me.
