(A/N warning extreme gore at the end of chapter. Not for the faint of heart or the depressed. If you do not like the sight of blood and can't handle it, don't read the memory. It is how Emilio died. Read at your own risk.)

Dream begin

"EMILIO!!!!!!" Hank's voice echoes in my head.

"Death defyier!!!!" It's dark and scandalous voice echoes over his voice screaming in torturous agony.

"REIKA!!!!!!!" Hank's voice bellows as I try to find out where his voice is coming from and how he knows my name.

And then their voices come together in a harmonious torture tormenting my very existence.

"DEATH DEFYIER!!!!!!!"

Dream end

I woke up with my heart pounding but I kept my eyes closed. I lay there taking deep breathes to calm down my heart rate.

A pair of arms squeeze as I feel his eyes flutter. "Wanna talk about it?" He asked in his morning voice probably still tired.

"Not really" I admitted equally as exhausted.

"Why is there pillows everywhere?" I snapped my eyes open to realize it was just dad asking.

"Kakashi stayed over. I tried having a wall, but he threw them everywhere knowing I was too exhausted to complain." I said with only one eye open.

"Makes sense. Makes sure he uses-" I threw my pillow cutting him off.

"Ugh! I'm ten! Not sixteen. If you keep this up, I will tell mom!" I threatened. I'm such a child.

'But your dad's a bigger child.' I snorted. 'But he's been arguing with the air for the past five minutes and you've just ignored all of him.' Kurama voice held a teasing tone.

"Dad," he stopped himself from saying anymore when I spoke and he realized what I was about to say.

"Damn Kurama. Gotta make me waste energy." He grumbled before waving goodbye and leaving in a flash.

I laughed as Kurama chuckled. I got up and got changed in the same outfit before heading back into my bedroom where Kakashi corners me into a wall.

I blush in shyness as my back hit the wall. "W-what?"

He narrowed his eyes before leaning forward and whispering in my ear, "Don't hide your feelings from me."

I lowered my gaze my lips quivering as I struggled to not cry. He brought his right hand to my cheek bringing my gaze to meet his.

"Just tell me-"

"I can't." I cut him off shaking my head.

"And why not?" He demanded his anger rising.

I shook my head tears falling. I mean, how can I explain something I don't understand myself?

"I-i-i" I stuttered as I let the pain and fear swirl in my eyes as I made eye contact.

His eyes widened at the horror in my eyes before he closed his eyes in regret. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be trying to force you to talk about it."

My shoulders shook as I took a shaky breath whispering, "I don't know."

His hand dropped as he understood what I was trying to say as I slipped past him and headed downstairs and grabbed an apple before heading out clearing my face with practiced ease.

I sprinted across Konoha as a warm up before heading to the training ground.

Shisui was there when I showed up doing pushups. When he saw me, he got up and began walking in my direction.
