My Little Raven: Dark Rebirth

Sound Of Silence

The village of Silence was a lot nicer than Sasuke would have originally thought. "Damn look at all the shiny grass." Akatsu announced loudly. Indeed the grass in this village was shiny, or rather the sunlight reflected off the dew that covered the grass causing the light to refract making it look like the waves of the ocean. As far as villages go this one was fairly simple, wooden houses, apartment complexes and restaurants stood on either side right as you walked into the gate. A nice little brick path acted as the main road with parts that branched off either which way to the buildings.

Villagers were walking around laughing, smiling and just plainly having fun a sight that strongly reminded Sasuke of his home in the leaf village. "So we're here now....ideals?" Akatsu said.
"I will look around to see if there are any stories or legends about this Erubus diamond." Diana commented before separating herself from their small group leaving the two men standing amongst a crowd of people. "So...uh food" asked Sasuke's silver haired companion. Shrugging he didn't necessarily give an answer but Akatsu took it as an ok and started marching off toward the nearest food stall. Sighing the raven followed, his thoughts were drifting to his cherry blossom.

They found a nice little noodle shop. Right in the middle of getting their meal another man walked in and sat down, Sasuke noted that he was acting jumpy and looked around nervously his train of thought was cut off by Diana. "I found it, I know the man who has the stone but he ran...." her gaze fall on the brown haired man that sat a few feet away. Pointing she yelled, "That's him! He's the keeper of the diamond of Erebus!" Those words started a huge fight, "Titans go!" Akatsu yelled before jumping out of his seat. The other man's face contorted into a look of fear, he knew he was going down. The trio tore out of the restaurant after the man.

Sarada pov

Once the sun rose I thought we were all ready to go until the Hokage, his advisor and a woman with red hair I'm sure I've seen somewhere before showed up. "Sakura you remember Karin, she brought us some disturbing news." Mom nodded. Sitting the women named Karin took off her glasses, "Yesterday....Sasuke showed up where Jugo,Suigetsu, and I were cleaning up one of Orichimarus old hideouts. He wasn't alone, there was a guy and girl with him." At first I didn't see why we should care except now we had a place to start our search. "They ended up beating both Suigetsu and Jugo badly and Sasuke didn't even raise a finger to help." She growled.

Both mom and the hokage looked equally as angry. "Could you show is where this place is?" mom asked. "Sure, I'll even help you track him down. I would like to know why he would do that to his friends." She said. "But first are they both ok?" The hokage asked. The women nodded, He turned and faced mom, "You should leave now. The faster you find Sasuke the better." He said. Standing mom looked over at me, "Still want to go?" She asked as if she didn't already know the answer. "Heck yeah."

"They said something about the village of Silence."
"Sir..." Shikamaru said while giving the hokage a worried look. "I know, you guys go ahead and get going to that village. I'll send word that your coming on my behalf." After that we were off dead set on finding my dad. Three hours later and we stood at the gates of the village of silence, "Oh yeah their here somewhere. Their chakra signatures are still relatively fresh." Karin said. Walking through the village everything was quiet, villagers were out and about doing normal things but I didn't see dad or the two he's supposed to be with. "Anything?" Mom asked the red head. She opened her mouth to respond when I stopped her. "There!" I ran off into the crowd sure that the man I had just saw was in fact my father.

I could hear mom call for me to slow down but now that I was this close I couldn't. Chasing him all the way to the mountain look out I stopped to catch my breath, there standing just a few feet from me was my father. The man who until just a few minutes ago I believed to have been dead for three years and yet here he was, right in front of me close enough to reach out and touch. "Dad?" I thought I said but my voice ended up coming out as a whisper. He turned just ever do slightly toward me, "You shouldn't have come here." He said.
