Meet Fuzen Kanpeki. She leads a normal life. A student in the ninja academy at Konoha. A good student. A couple of friends. A family to come home to every day. Mother, Father, Sister. A loving family, no? That's right. No.

Fuzen Kanpeki has shattered. With permission from the Hokage, she has left all she has known: her family, her house, her village, her friends. She has only one goal in mind. She must grow stronger. She must grow stronger than her father, than her sadness, strong enough to live and breath beneath this guilt that pulls her down. Because she knows. She knows it's her fault that he died. She knows that she's always been weak. And she knows that she must overcome. Just how far will Fuzen go to find the strength that she needs?

Of course Itachi wasn't aware of his guardian angel since that was part of the deal. If Itachi was never told about Himeko's willingness to die for him then she'll do it but if he was then she'd kill herself along with her Mangekyo Sharigan.

There is a young girl that made a mistake with man who she thought she had fallen in love with. That mistake was Kurami. An evil child. Just like her father had planned. Kurami does not know right from wrong, only what her father has taught her on those dark nights in the forest. And with his orders, she destroys all she ever had. The Hokage now uses her for the village's benefit. Like a tool. For the sin she committed when she was little she can never be a normal child. Not that she ever was. But now, she is nothing but a weapon to be used. She doesn't even feel. Somehow born without feelings, how can one boy change this? The village was ordered to never show any kindness to the child, but when a kid was neglected all of his life he can't help but to feel sorry for her. Because she can't.

Why is she bent on proving that she can be the best by herself? Will she ever learn to give up her act of strength, and trust? Or will she fall, the cause of her own destruction? Genius only goes so far, and the flaws and frailties will eventually catch up to her. The act of strength is, after all, only an act.
