Kiss in the Rain

Loneliness

*Here we go, and we start again, so sorry it has taken this long but I'm finally ready for this story again*

Sasuke carried the raven haired woman to his meeting place with Orochimaru, though he may not have received any answers and actually created more questions for himself he felt a warmth in his heart that he hadn't felt in such a long time, hope, the light of hope had sparked back into his heart somehow and it all pointed to the being he carried.

Upon his arrival he heard the obnoxious whining from Karin, and other things he chose not to pay attention to, until he was face to face with Orochimaru.  The snake eyed the woman in Sasuke's arms and watched as he laid her in the back room to let her rest.

"How far are we to summoning the Kage?" Sasuke questioned, ready to face Madara with his new 'weapon' but he still wanted the answers from the Kage themselves.

Orochimaru was ready for the summoning as Sasuke stood next to him ready for these great men to reawaken.  It wasn't to much longer when all was finished and Orochimaru had used the Resurrection jutsu to reawaken the four great kage.

1: Hashirama Senju

2: Tobirama Senju

3: Hiruzen Sarutobi

4: Minato Namikaze

All stood before them, cracks in their faces their irises black, but all fully functional as their own.

"Where are we?" Hashirama spoke looking at the place, as Minato spoke out freely "it seems as though we have been recalled to the world of the living." Hashirama peer over to the side giving a questioning look "who the hell are you?" he asked pretty straight forward.

Sarutobi stood kind of confused but then turned to Minato who proudly pointed to his jacket "the Fourth Hokage, sir!" Hashirama was quite aroused "The Fourth Hokage you say, I see!" They carried on a conversation between themselves as though nothing was out of the ordinary and that the village was doing well for the most part.  Soon their attention was on Orochimaru, as though he was ready to pin them against their beloved village until Orochimaru instructed he did not wish to take part on that type of plot, it was solely for Sasuke.

Sasuke soon started his interrogation, asking why Lord Third made Itachi do what he did, how he learned the truth about Danzo and Tobi, but he wanted to hear it himself.  As Lord Third confirmed everything it made Lord Second a bit stunned as he was finding out that the Uchiha clan was among extinction, and how they even planned a coupe and how Madara's hated was the spark that started it.  Orochimaru explained it was Tobirama's fault by sectioning off the Uchiha from the rest of the village, keeping them away and always keeping them under control.  

Soon Hashirama started in on Tobirama as to not section them off, how it never should have been like that.  Hashirama always wanted peace and prosperity while Tobirama always thought of a way to control the outcome, so as they butt heads Hashirama's true presence was know.

Unknown to them, as the presence of the brothers was heightened emerald eyes awoken, and the sound of familiar voices rang through her ears.  Hashirama, Tobirama? Madara? no... Madara was not there, though she realized how Yukina would always promise to release her, she still did not know what was happening, so she decided to take matters into her own hands and stood up, a bit shaky, but as she leaned against the wall she was able to make her way as she listened to Hashirama telling the tale of his childhood with Madara and herself, but skipping over losing her completely.

"Why did Madara really leave Lord First, I know it was not just the fact he loved war and power there was more." Sasuke demanded making Tobirama glare and Hashirama's whole presence went from sturdy to depressed, but not the funny depressed he usually was, no this was pure sadness and grief.

"The loss of...

"Me"

Everyone looked up quickly as he stood in the door way, leaning against the side. The white dress now dry and wavy, her extremely long hair wavy but still touched the floor, her emerald eyes slightly weary from her long slumber, and her skin almost a glow.

"Imouto..." Tobirama whispered as Hashirama peered in disbelief.

"How can this be? The cave, the crystal what.... how... WHO?" Hashirama almost yelled.  

Amaya walked into the area Sasuke extended his hand for her to hold her up a bit.

"This young man is related to Yukina, the caretaker of my shrine.  She found how to unlock me and he fulfilled that making me in debt to him.  Though I am heart broken by what has happened in my own absence, as though I should have stayed in that slumber." she said her eyes closing as the loneliness filled her heart once more.

"Amaya, what happened, why did that happen to you?"

"One more story should not hurt... though it may not help anything." She spoke quietly looking towards Sasuke, and he nodded.

Amaya breathed in and walked to her brothers thrown her arms around Hashirama, tears threatened to come from her eyes. "For it is my fault this land is war turned." She whimpered, Hashirama hugged her back and after she embraced Tobirama, he was always looking out for her until that night, when he could not get to her on time, no one could have.

Amaya then spoke her own story of sorrow, her misfortune lead to many other tragedies.

"Not long after I was wed to my beloved I felt myself very tied to the Uchiha clan, of course taking in Yukina as a pupil in many different arts, since I am not a ninja. However one night when my brothers and my husband were taken from the village an enemy attacked.  This enemy had been tracking me for many, many years; from the time of my birth, they wished for the power I did not know I had.  You see from within my crystal slumber I met with my own mother and grandmother and learned of my own heritage, I am the last remaining Lunar in this land and the one who owns my heart will be graced with a single wish, anything he can think of can be his upon my death. This clan must have thought I did not have feelings for my husband and wanted to have me fall in love with their own, but soon all war broke lose.  Yukina and I ran into the forest above the Lake.  Yukina did her best to help me but she was taken down, I shielded her from multiple blows and soon a force from within me sprung out and all of the men were dead.  Yukina pulled me into the cave to let me rest but my spirit was strained and I had to lay down. I asked her to find Madara for me to tell him I love him.  Soon more enemy came in and I had fallen into my slumber apparently crystallizing the entire cavern, all but Yukina survived.  I stayed in a state like heaven, though without the people I loved, I had no sense of time or a sense of where I was, only just to see the Lunars of my past.  This is how I had seen that night, everything was organized from the beginning to take my power, and it makes me feel like I am the reason people hated the Senju... they had me... but in the end the Uchiha suffered the most because the leader of that clan won my heart and never knew of what I was."

The men before her stood silently and understood her pain, but now was the time, Madara wished to plunge the world into a perfect world, perfect genjutsu, to take away the pain but destroying everything everyone built, because he had lost it all.
