The Snow Demon

A Few Years Later

It has been a few years now... I am now 16 years old... Images of Ino flashed through my mind, leaving me a blushing mess. I truly have a wonderful girlfriend don't I? She is smart, perfect, amazing, strong, strong-willed, and so many other excellent things. Oh god... I sound like a love sick fool, but that's what we all are, aren't we? We only do our actions for love or approval of the person we cherish. That's why sometimes I think it is better when I am alone, so I don't feel these emotions. I sighed and closed my eyes tiredly. I rubbed my fingers on my forehead, trying to soothe the unbearable headache I got. I laid down on the bed in my room, before I heard a bang near the entrance. I quickly transported there, seeing Sasori and Deidara. I glanced at them with a questioning glance, before they nodded at the entrance and at the red head boy Deidara was sitting on. I nodded, not noticing there blushing glances at me. The rock to the entrance finally smashed opened and in came my old team. I smirked, having my little fangs hang out of my mouth. I noticed every one of my team members looked at me in shock. I noticed Sasuke wasn't with them, and I remembered that he also left the village, five days after me. I did a mocking wave.

"Yo." I smirked at them and they snapped out of their trance.

"Yukiko! You are coming back with us whether you like it or not! I made a promise and I will fulfill this promise!" Naruto exclaimed, making me roll my eyes.

"Does it seem like I give a fuck?" I asked, giving him my bored stare. Everyone looked at me in shock, even Sasori and Deidara.

"Yukiko, when did you start cussing?" Sasori asked me seriously.

"Since I met Hidan. Did you fucking think I wouldn't catch his god damn habit? I just kept it on the fucking down low so you guys wouldn't yell the fuck at me, but let's be honest, it's fucking Hidan's pussy ass fault." I responded. Sasori nodded before turning away to face my old team. Naruto finally noticed that Deidara was sitting on Gaara. He looked pissed off! This is comedy!

"Get off of Gaara you teme!" Naruto yelled at Deidara, making me chuckle.

"My life is truly a sad comedy, isn't it?" I asked myself quietly. Ino then walked into the hideout with her team. My eyes widened as I had realized her beauty had grew in the last two years. Her eyes widened when they saw me, and her team looked at where she was staring and also looked shocked when they noticed me. They then noticed my clothing. I was wearing the Akatsuki cloak, just like how Hidan wore it. The chest area was opened and you could clearly see abs. I had let my hair slightly grow longer, it now coming to the middle of my neck, still in it's normal hair style. I noticed Ino blush before looking away, not letting me see her beautiful face. I ran my hand through my hair, before sighing. Guess I will have to fight my fiance and her team mates. This is sure a way to come back together after two years. I stood next to Sasori and Deidara, making sure my face was in a emotionless mask, no one could even read the emotion in my eyes. I crossed my arms in front of my chest, leading myself to look as I normally do around the hideout. Sasori nodded at Deidara and I, motioning who we are going to fight. I nodded back showing I understood, but Deidara had different ideas. He quickly made a clay bird and flew off, having Naruto and Kakashi chasing after him, Kakashi of course, a few feet behind. Sasori quickly got his puppets out, leaving Sakura and his grandmother to fight him. Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji finally noticed I was the only one left, and from my stance they knew that I was going to fight them. I had sadness hidden in my eyes. I didn't want to harm or fight my fiance, but I knew that this had to be done. I charged at them quickly, but noticed my shadow was stuck to the floor. I wanted to face palm myself from how foolish I was.

'How could I have been trapped in this simple shadow jutsu? But no matter, I can clearly tell the shadows to go away and they will, after all, I am their master.' I thought to myself, before I willed the shadows to go away, leaving me able to move again on my own. The team looked shocked that I was able to get out of Shikamaru's shadows so easily.

"Foolish classmates. I thought you would've known me better than that. I could've easily deflect anyone's jutsu, since after all, I can control all elements." I told them with a smirk. Ino charged at me, and I could see the sadness in her eyes, her clearly not wanting to do this. I side-stepped, not letting her hit me. I caught her elbow, and pulled her to my chest, to where she couldn't escape.

"You'll have to do better then that, my sweet princess. Even if you do have feelings for the person you're fighting, you have to move those emotions to the side and fight them with no weaknesses, since after all, weaknesses might get you killed some day." I whispered in her ear, before pushing her roughly towards her team mates. I almost felt like crying, but knew I couldn't since that would be a weakness. I honestly didn't want to hurt my fiance, but her safety is my number one priority, even if it means keeping her away from me for the longest time possible. I felt string like things wrapping around me. I looked down, noticing chakra strings. I looked towards Sasori in curiosity, before noticing he was in a two on one battle. I nodded, telling him he could use me as his puppet. His eyes showed thankfulness. I was facing against Sakura, no surprise there. I felt my body move freely, letting Sasori take control (who knew that, that one sentence could sound dirty?). I could feel jabs and stabs, although, none too fatal. When I noticed Sakura had one of Sasori's kunai's, the one that has poison on it. Both Sasori's and I's eyes widened, he made sure he had me dodge, so I don't get hit with one of those kunai's so I don't get poisoned. When Sasori wasn't watching, Sakura managed to stab me with that kunai. I felt blood seep out of my mouth, and I coughed into my hand, showing blood. My body paled, at least, paled more than normal. I looked back at Sasori, and he looked about ready to cry. His chakra strings unwrapped around me and I fell to the ground, my back against the ground and my eyes staring at the rocky ceiling. Sasori ran over to me, clutching onto my dying form. I touched his cheek, smiling to him sadly.

"Well this is goodbye, Sasori. I always thought of you as a brother..." I mumbled, trailing off. Ino saw me on the ground, bloodied and pale. She raced over to me and started sobbing. I looked over at her sadly.

"I love you Ino. I know we couldn't have the wedding you always wanted, but in all honesty, I am glad that you became my fiance, even if we were so young. This is goodbye, my sweet princess." I took my final breath, and my eyes fluttered closed, leaving me in an abyss of darkness.
