My Little Raven: Dark Rebirth

Reunion

Sarada pov

He looked the same as when I last saw him, the same brooding expression and pale complexion. The man standing in front of me was my father, "I suggest you and the others leave." his tone was off, like the words weren't his own. "Dad.....mom is here and I....we....." I said stumbling over my words. Shaking his head he turned and started to walk away, there I stood watching my father walk away yet again when this time I had the strength to stop him so griping the hilt of my sword I readied myself to attack. Stopping he asked, "You sure you want to do that?" I never got a chance to answer because mom came out of no where and punched dad full force.

He was sent flying, the smoke cleared. Breathing heavily mom glared at me. "Karin keep her out of this, Shikamaru be on guard."
"Right." dad stood from the crater he created thanks to mom's attack, the ribs of his Susono flickered around him. "Now Shikamaru!" She yelled. "Shadow stitching paralysis jutsu!" The shadows like tentacles wrapped around dad holding him in place. Green aura covered mom's fist, charging forward horror sprouted in me as I began to understand what she was planning to do. She was planning on ending it right now with one hit, sadly it wouldn't be that easy.

She drew back only feet away from dad, "Sakura stop why you have a chance" I heard him say but it didn't hinder her attack. Inches away now and time seemed to slow, activating my sharigan it felt like I was the only one who was able to see what was going to happen. In an instant dad teleported away switching places with Shikamaru, who now was right in mom's way. 'I've got to do something!' I thought. Feeling a pull in my stomach I willed my susono outward. The flaming pink ribs erupted around Shikamaru bearly protecting him from mom's earth shattering attack. Standing where Shikamaru once was, Dad stared at mom. "You would try to kill me again Sakura?" His tone hid his sadness.

"If it meant you would stop going with those people then yes. I want you to tell me why Sasuke. Why didn't you come back, Why did you stay away for three years?" She yelled. Looking away bored I thought for a moment he was going to fight her until the same two people who I fought with three years ago appeared at his side. "Eh on second thought let's rest later." Akatsu mumbled. The girl who's name I remembered was Diana touched dad's shoulder. "I've gotten a lock on Nyx's chakra. Let's get going." In a bright flash the trio vanished. "Karin can you keep a lock on their chakra?" Mom asked while walking over and helping Shikamaru stand. Taking off her glasses and cleaning them she shook her head, "No they must have teleported out of range. Now that Sasuke knows I'm with you he's sure to keep our of reach."
"Sarada you ok?" Mom asked while touching my hand, that's when I noticed it was still holding a tight grip on the hilt of my sword.

Releasing my grip I rubbed my hand. "Yeah. They said something about Nyx....ring any bells?" I asked. Karin and Mom both looked confused, "Actually I remember an old story....one that dates back to the time of Kaguya." Shikamaru muttered. "Let's save that for later. Right now we should get something to eat and find a place to stay." mom said while putting her arm around me. I couldn't have agreed more.

'Keep this safe child, soon the great goddess will reawaken.' Those were the exact words he used but if I would had known the amount of trouble it would put me threw then that dang emerald would be sinking to the bottom of the river. She whispers to me from time to time now. The goddess that dwells in side the green stone I was given, speaks to me from time to time telling me to tap into her power. Thanks to that man I was made as her vessel, the perfect vessel. I guess you could call me an experiment, my vision is clouded by images of a tall regal man and a woman with long silver hair that would levitate behind her like a blanket of moon light, then there was me. Looking in the mirror I noted my changed features.

My once short mint green hair was now long and cascaded down over my shoulders framing my face in a beautiful leaf green curtain. "Nyx....are you feeling well?' The man asked. That name sounded so familiar, "Yes....I am fine my dear. Kaguya what shall we do?" I asked tho the voice wasn't my own. "They are coming, you must prepare yourself." She told me.
"Those insolent little brats have taken my diamond, next will be the emerald then Kaguya's pearl. Once they hold all three pieces...." His voice trailed off as I fell asleep.

Groaning I sat up. My room was dark, thankfully I lived outside the majority of the villages. The mans face flashed in my head again, he resembled a snake for the most part. 'They drawl closer child.' came the goddesses voice, Nyx as she was called. Moving on with my daily chores I pulled those stubborn weeds then ate breakfast, read a book and took a shower mostly my everyday things but unlike the other days today held a certain quiet malice. It wasn't until they showed up that I started to understand why.

In the middle of dinner there was a knock on my door. Being a girl who lived alone in the woods my only visitors were mostly shinobi from neighboring villages. Opening the door there stood a man and women, the man was smiling and the women was so beautiful she could had been a goddess herself. "Hello. My name's Diana, this is Akatsu. May we come in?"

"Ugh so much paperwork!" I groaned. Setting down another huge pile of paper on my desk , Kakashi rubbed his shoulder. "Well it was your dream of becoming the hokage. Now that your here you have to accept the things that go along with it." he explained which caused me to sigh again. That's when a knock sounded on my door, "Come in please!" I said happily which received me a glare from my former sensei. "Thank you my lord." In stepped an older gentlemen who I recognized immediately. Standing I didn't know weather I should be ready for a fight or what. Chuckling he held up his hand, "Please I mean you no harm. I just came to talk." His eyes traveled over to Kakashi who gave me a slight bow, "I'll be just outside." Once he was out I motioned for the man to sit.

"Why exactually have you come here?" I asked with a stern tone.
"My lord I came here for on reason and one reason alone. To get from you a piece of Kaguya's pearl." Pearl? What the heck was he talking about? He must have seen the confusion on my face. "Let me explain dear Hokage. Long ago before the time of Shinobi, three Lord's ruled the lands. Nyx, goddess of night. Erebus god of death and kaguya goddess of the moon. Once their rein was over, Kaguya was sealed away as you know But the others....that are a diffrent story. Each had their main source of power sealed away inside three separate gems. Why else do you think the goddess you fought had to fill herself full of chakra first." What he was saying made sense as much as it bugged me.

"After the battle a piece of her pearl was shattered then sealed inside the three that beat her." Realization hit me and he saw that. His smile widened, standing he stared down at me. "So lord seventh I have come here to take from you that piece of pearl and the only way I can do that is...." I didn't let him finish, anyone who threatened me would be dealt with easily. A flaming yellow chakra fist smashed into him that's what I thought until the dust cleared, "I really wish you would had allowed this to be quiet lord seventh." The man stood there with two large tentacle like things sprouting from his back, he himself was unharmed. "Shall we begin?"
