Me: Yeah, last chapter.

Gaara: And then I can leave?

Me: Actually…

(A bunch of screaming is heard outside)

Gaara: …

Me: Yay! Fenrir-Kun is here!

Gaara: Fenrir?

Me: (sticks her tongue out) Oh, just wait! It's a secret!

Xelloss: That's my line.

Me: I know! I don't own Naruto!

Gaara: It doesn't matter, the lawyers were eaten…

Me: For real?

P.S. OK! I know I messed up on the Chinese in Chapter 3! I know by now ok! Never use

oOoOoOo

Turmoil! A Hidden Past in Konoha!

Chapter 8: Showdown! The End of the Nightmare!

oOoOoOo

"Did I cut in on your little 'romantic' moment Jie Jie?" Tsukiko growled, advancing on
the two. Both had risen to their feet and stepped back, countering the advance. The wolf
dog trotted closer, fur rising. "Tsukiko? Why are you doing this?" Tenten asked. "I'M
NOT TSUKIKO! My name's Yue! YUE!" the girl roared. The room darkened to almost
pitch and the dog seemed to laugh, its eyes blazing red. "I killed that suitor for you Jie
Jie! You didn't even try to stop the ANBU from taking me away!"

Neji leaped to the side, the feral dog missing him barely. He had to keep moving as the
dog leaped again and again, its jaws snapping on thin air and claws slicing and shattering
the wooden boards. "I would've stopped them Tsukiko!" Tenten roared back, "You know
what they would do! They would've made it so I never knew you at all!" "It might've
been better! I return to this house to find your past self wandering around! You denied
the memory anyway!" the younger sibling barked.

A yelp pulled the siblings attention away from each other and towards Neji and the dog.
The dog was on the ground, scratching his claws on the floor and Neji was standing back,
Byakugan activated. The dog rose to its feet, the fur and flesh peeling away again and
falling to the ground. Tsukiko shrieked and ran over to the dog. "Akane!" she cried. The
front legs had lost the flesh and the tail was peeling, so was the head. The ears started to
curve.

"You hurt my dog! No one gets away with that!" she screamed and latched out at Neji.
"Tsukiko! That's not Akane! Akane's been dead for years!" Tenten exclaimed. She
moved in to help but was knocked back by Akane with a swift tackle to the stomach,
getting the wind knocked out of her easily. (Meh, same would happen to you just AFTER
killing Shino and fighting Neji)

Neji was caught in between the 'dog' and the girl now on both sides. They moved at the
same time, neither making contact as he swiftly performed Kaitan, sending both away.
More flesh peeled off the 'dog', making it look more demonic and Tsukiko lost the knife
she held. The 'dog' rebounded to its feet, swinging a heavy paw at Neji while he
recuperated. The sharp nails ripped through his shirt and chest like paper, sending him to
the floor as well. Totting over to Neji, the 'dog' placed a paw on his arm observed and
then sank its fangs into his arm.

"Stop it!" Tenten cried, leaping at the 'dog', successfully landing a strike with Tsukiko's
abandoned knife. It backed off with a yelp, and then snarled at Tenten. "You struck her
too! Why did you strike Akane Jie Jie!" Tsukiko demanded. Tenten kneeled next to Neji
before glaring at her sister, "That demon is not Akane! What will make yo-" She stopped
as teeth sank into her shoulder, pressure increasing.

Tsukiko blinked, "A-Akane… that's Tenten… you don't bite…" 'Akane' threw Tenten
across the room, turning on Neji. There was a crunching noise and blood pooled. Tsukiko
looked at Tenten. Tenten eyes were wide, her other hand on her bleeding shoulder. She
slumped forward, cupping her face with the bloody hand.

The clicking started again and Tsukiko finally saw her 'Akane' in a new light. A large,
earless creature with sharp horns, a skeletal face and bright red eyes, its teeth clashed
over each other. The rib cage was fully exposed as were its front paws and its tail lacked
any flesh at all. "Y-You're not Akane! What are you, you vile creature! Get away from my
sister!" "But you called me…. Hehehe… and you're feeding me quiet well," the thing
said, still approaching Tenten.

Tsukiko ran over and stood in front of Tenten, pulling out the dagger, "How dare you
pretend to be my doggie from way back!" "It's your own fault. You called to me to get
revenge for those who 'abandoned' you in your new village. You wanted to get
even…. You wanted them to suffer… You wanted them dead," the demon growled.
"I wanted Konoha dead! You're turning your fangs on my sister!" she snapped. The
thing chucked, "But your sister sides with Konoha now… she will become food as
well."

The thing leapt, phasing through Tsukiko and latching onto Tenten's leg, dragging her
over to Neji. Tenten stifled a cry, kicking at the skull face. "You don't want to see his
body before you die? You seem to get along so well though.. Ehehehehe!" it laughed,
not letting go. "Hey! DROP HER RIGHT NOW!" Tsukiko roared. She ran over, dagger
in hand and jabbed it in the eye. The demon released Tenten and snarled, hopping around
and clawing at the dagger. A black substance ran down the skull and splashed on the
wood, hissing angrily.

"Why did you do that?" "I'm through with you, you vile beast! You deceived me and
tried to kill my sister. You better have something in that acid blood that brings the dead
back or else!" The creature snarled angrily at Tsukiko, knocking the dagger out of its eye
from which black blood continuously flowed. Tsukiko shined brightly and yelled,
"BRING THE DEAD BACK AND LEAVE!" Shrinking back, the demon cowered and
hissed, "Fine! But don't think this village seen the last of me!"

Sinking into the ground in a black pool, the demon disappeared. Tsukiko turned and
looked at Tenten whose vision was fading in and out…. In and out. "I'm sorry…" was
the finally words Tenten heard before falling unconscious from blood loss.

oOoOoOo

The lonely spirit of Tsukiko stared at the decrepit house and walked in slowly. Everything
was how she remembered before being taken away, even the urn with Akane's Ashes in it.
The blood was never cleaned when she stabbed that asshole from the Stone Village was
there. Figures, she saw her mother's grave a while back. What she didn't see was
Tiantian. "Sister?" she called, looking around. She wandered around the halls, looking
for her bun haired sister.

"Hmm…" she walked over to a window and looked at Konoha. Her ghostly eyes
sharpened. Tsukiko noted various people. A loud blonde haired boy and a girl hiding
around a corner, watching him. A girl with bright pink hair was talking to a raven haired
boy who didn't seem to respond or listen. On a hill, three people, two boys and a girl, just
stared at the sky. A boy played with his dog near by and another boy seemed to have
swarms of bugs flying under his sleeves and then fly away later.

She soon spotted her target in a clearing with two boys and an older man. One of the
boys and the man suddenly hugged with a sunset in the sudden background. Tsukiko kept
her eyes on her sister who hung back with the boy with pale lavender eyes. He muttered
something and Tiantian chuckled. The boy smirked and shook his head. "What? She's
forgotten about home or something?" Tsukiko humphed and walked back into the
mansion's hall, stomping but not making a sound.

As she approached Tiantian's old room, she heard sniffling. Leaning in, she saw her
sister sitting on the bed. "Wha?" she said, totally confused. The ghostly Tiantian turned
around, "Yue! You know you're supposed to knock!" "Yeah… but, I just saw you outside
and…" she looked back down the hall and then back in. "Yeah, that's me. She pushed me
out of her mind and left me here," Tiantian leaned forwards and huffed.

Tsukiko grinned. "I can fix that…" An Urn fell over, the contents spilling onto the floor.
It turned into liquid and started bubbling. "Hehehehe…."

oOoOoOo

It was blurry and awfully bright and white. Tenten felt weak, turning her head slightly,
strength slowly returning. Her senses started to return as well, the first thing being that
there was a weight on her bed. Sitting up slowly, the IV on her arm stinging slightly, she
looked at the cause of the weight.

She blinked quickly.

She rubbed her eyes.

She pinched herself, emitting an, "Ow!"

Tenten knew she wasn't dreaming as it started to shift. Lavender eyes fluttered open,
looking up towards her. Suddenly, they shot up in their seat. "Tenten! …. Are you feeling
better?" he asked. Tenten nodded slowly, feeling her eyes water. A tear escaped as she
replied, "Yeah… thanks Neji."

oOoOoOo

Two weeks later…

oOoOoOo

"So… how did my sister kill you?"

"…"

"Oh right… I did the killing. Sorry Shino."

"No problem I guess."

"That dog thing chewed me out! Hinata, that scar isn't bothering you is it?"

"H-Huh? O-oh, no. It's fine n-now Naruto-Kun…"

"…."

"Ino, stop staring at my neck…"

"But Shikamaru! That was a nightmare to watch!"

"It's not gonna help if you keep staring…. Troublesome.."

The twelve shinobi sat talking together, preparing the report for the mission under the
shade of a willow. "Sasuke! Don't bring that up!" Sakura shrieked. "Why not? The report
needs to have every detail…" "But she won't believe 'coming back to life'!" "…. I think
after 5 pages of explanation that she will believe it."

The argument started to become heated and Tenten was starting to suffer a migraine. She
walked off quietly and sat on a nearby hill. Someone walked over soon, they didn't even
bother to sneak. They sat down beside Tenten. "It said it would come back…" "We'll be
ready then…" "How? That demon thing killed you!" "Heh, just watched." She leaned on
his shoulder. "I hope your right Neji."

A little ways away, a ghost figure looked on. "Bye, Jie Jie. Sorry I didn't understand…"
Tsukiko smiled and faded away.
