The Eclipsed Hyuga (Oc x various) sequel to the cursed Hyuga

Undead Rising

It had been three days since Guy left and now that he was back it meant Amani was heading to meet him. By now it was early night, the stars were glistening against the sky. Amani walked slowly down the winding streets of the village when suddenly the power went out. She felt her mark flare up as a whisper from within herself rose.

The dead are coming child.

Amani felt a pull within her, she stopped as the sky became dark. The faint sound of the earth rumbling caused her to turn in the direction of the main village area. She ran to it, her chakra was burning up. She stood by the rest of her peers as bodies rose from a mound.

"What are these things?", Kiba exclaimed.

"They look like ninja but something isn't right", Neji said.

Amani looked closely as her chakra began to burst out. Her eclipse mark started to spread.

"They are the undead. Risen from earth and forbidden jutsu", she spoke. The group looked at her as they began to attack.

Amani was brought to her knees in pain. Her mark was humming. Neji looked at his sister and saw the dark chakra flowing through her. As the ninja fought the undead, Amani felt her seal begin to open.

"Get back!", she yelled.

Lee and Kiba ran over to her with worry, the screaming that she released echoed the very air. The ground around her began to decay, the boys watched as a familiar sight came to them. A crescent moon was carved into the ground. Shikamaru saw this and yelled for everyone to get back.

Sleep child. Now I will awaken to end these shadows.

A blinding light circled around Amani as she felt her conciouness slip away. The shadows began to dance around her, until she was flowing through a black abyss.

"Amani?", Neji said as he slowly approached his sister's figure. He stopped as she rose to her feet. Her hair was now black and her clothing had also changed.

Her now green eyes scanned Neji as she rose to her feet and clapped her hands. "I am shadow. I am decay. I am the fire that burns the darkness away.  Shadow flame jutsu", she spoke, her voice carried a soft tune as the shadows around her rose like flames. They began to engulf the endless sea of undead.

"Come on let's help her", Lee declared and the ninja once more began to destroy the corpses. 

Amani jumped high into the air and performer hand signs faster than the eye could see. She turned and watched as Shikamaru and ino enter from the direction of the medic area. Her eyes eyes darted over to each of her friends and counted.

Lee. Choji. Neji. Tenten. Kiba. Kotetsu. Izumo. Genma. Seventeen others. Hmm very well.

"Will of fire. Shadow volcanic jutsu", the shadows began to spiral up. The ground shook as a shadow rose to an insane height. It took the form of a volcano and large shadows began to spew out and hit each of the undead. One by one they began to fall. Amani jumped to the ground causing a large impact.

"What just happened?", Lee asked as Amani collapsed. The shadows began to disappear back to her mark.

"Between Amani and the other squad I think that we may have defeated them", Kotetsu explained.

"However it's not over just yet", Shikamaru said at he looked at the sky, "Ino can you heal Amani?"

Ino kneeled down and tried to heal her friend. However every time she tried to heal her, she found the healing chakra be pushed back.

"She won't heal", Ino exclaimed.

Neji ran over to his little sister and activated his byakugan.  He saw how her chakra points seemed to vibrate with black chakra. He looked at her mark and saw how it was glowing. He   turned to Ino.

"Focus on this seal. That wasn't Amani fighting, it was the soul inside her", he explained. Ino began to focus on the seal and saw how it began to heal this time.

Amani opened her eyes and saw how the darkness was filling her. Her eyes glanced around and she saw him. Her heart felt a beat again. His voice called out to her, it sent a fire to her being.

"Amani you're awake?", the voice whispered.

"Who are You? Who is Amani?", she asked confused.

The girl turned to a young man besides her and tilted her head. "Do I know you?", she asked him.

Neji felt a tear pick at his eye, his little sister seemed to have lost her memory.

"I am your brother Neji", he whispered. The girl looked around her.

"I don't remember anything. There is just darkness. So much darkness and pain", she whispered.

Suddenly the sky filled with a ref chakra. The echoed out with a roar. Amani got to her feet and looked at the direction. "Someone is crying. Fire. Fire and pain", she whispered as she stumbled past the ninja. "I must take away their pain".

She began to run in the direction of the light. Everyone else followed in pursuit. Kiba and Akamaru smelled the scent of their friends and ran to them. They arrived to a interesting scene. A boy by the name of Sora was cloaked in a chakra that Naruto held within him. The nine tails chakra.

Amani watched as the familiar strangers around her tried to trap the boy. She watched as a blonde boy became cloaked as well. The pain they felt was streaming into her heart. Alone. They felt alone. Was I Alone?

Come child. Forget the pain. Forget the sorrow.

I don't want to be alone. I want to be loved and wanted. But this darkness, I can't see anything past this darkness.

Come child let the darkness become your home. Create new memories.

No. I want my own.

Shikamaru saw the girl was trembling, as did Kiba and Lee. The three of them found their hearts pounding.  Amani felt their gaze and turned to each of them. Her eyes were searching for something, some kind of wanting and longing. Yet nothing triggered, nothing sang out. Though when her eyes landed on one of them she felt a thump in her chest. What was that?

It's called a heartbeat child.

A heartbeat? Why does my heart beat...

Love. It is a light emotion child. One of the few that consume the darkness.

Naruto kept lunging at Sora. One attack after another. His determination was pushing him through. Amani found herself reaching out, she pulled at his pain and drew it into her being.

Naruto felt the aches fade away, he saw how Amani was shaking as the pain flowed to her and he continued to push to himself towards Sora. Finally Sora resumed to his normal form and soon everyone gathered around him. Amani stayed behind and dropped to the ground. The darkness was now consuming her.

By the time Lee turned around he saw Amani on the ground shaking.  Quickly he ran over to her and called out her name. "Amani!".

Who is calling me? Who are you? Who am I?
