Takumi: (gasps for air and stops choking) WHAT THE HECK!

Me: Like it?

Takumi: Why the heck do you-!

Me: Ssh! don't spoil it! The readers have to read it for themselves! And I do apologize for the very short first chapter.

Takumi: No! Stop! I demand a re-write!

Me: Here it is! Sisypheon! (It's such a fun word to say)

Takumi walked slowly up the steep hill. It was bright and sunny day. It had been two years since everything started. She closed her eyes in deep thought. So much had happened then. Now as she looked back on it all she felt… odd. There was this feeling that she couldn't place. This feeling that welled up in side of her like fire. She sighed and continued her accent up the hill.

At the top of the hill stood a lone birch tree with a small polished rock under its leafy roof. Takumi smiled at the rock, her hand flowing over its soft earthy feel.

"Hello Yua. I'm sorry that it's been so long since I last visited you. Do you like it in heaven? I bet that it is real nice up there. Everyone is alright and fit, even Kakuzu-san. It seems that he got a replacement for the heart I destroyed." Her eyes glazed over as memories filled her. "I wish that I could have truly been your friend. I wish that I could have gotten to know you."

"But you can."

Takumi's heart skipped five beats. She recognized that voice.

"Turn around Takumi-chan."

She did and gasped. Standing not five feet away from her was Yua, smiling warmly at her.

"Hello Takumi-chan. You like some food?"

Takumi couldn't believe it. It really was Yua. Yua had come back from the dead. Tears in her eyes Takumi jumped and grabbed Yua into a tight hug.

"I want to be your friend." She whispered.

I couldn't believe it. Here I was sitting on top of a hill eating lunch with someone who was supposed to be dead. I mean her grave was on that hill! This was Yua, that's' for sure. The same long, red hair. The same cerulean eyes. She wore a salmon pink jacket with flared sleeves and light blue shorts. She couldn't be sitting here in front of me.

"How are you alive?" I asked quickly. Yua giggled and took a sip of her ice cold tea.

"I never died in the first place."

"You still-" She giggle again.

"You have to give me a chance to explain." Takumi blushed shyly the nodded her head at Yua to continue. Yua told her how she had two bodies that she could move between. Just before he first body died her mind and soul switched to the other body. Takumi shook her head. She could believe it, but then again it wasn't like she couldn't believe her. Look at herself! She's an artificial human being! No one can be any odder than her.

"Everyone!" Takumi shouted. She remembered that that she needed to be back at the base soon. There was going to be a meeting or something. "Come on!" Takumi laughed as she grabbed Yua's wrist and dragged her down the hill.

"Oh my!" Yua gasped. She managed to get out of my grip as I… well… tripped and rolled painfully down the hill. I landed painfully on my buttocks.

"What the heck!" I yelled. "I am the ultimate being for Petes sake! I have 5 different kekkei genkais, can use Sharingan and Byakugan! I have a better sense of smell then a highly trained dog! I can see in the dark and breathe underwater! I can move twice as the average human and is four times stronger! SO WHY THE FRIGGEN HECK AM I FRIGGEN TRIPPING ALL THE FRIGGEN TIME!"

"Unlucky I guess." Yua ran gracefully down the hill and stops just as gracefully next to me. She held you hand out and I mumbled thanks as she helped pull me back up.

"Come on." I grabbed her wrist again, more gently this time, and lead the way back to the base. We've switched bases at least five times; right now the current base was in the side of a steep cliff. The view was amazing from it. I released the genjutsu concealing the trap door in the ground that served as the front door. I flipped the lid open and climbed down the long steel ladder attached to the wall on the hole.

"Follow me." I call to Yua who stared at the ladder with distrust. "It's safe." I assured her. Reluctantly she started the decent down.

Before we knew it we had reached the bottom. Yua gasped when she stepped off that last rung. We were in the living room. The ceiling stretched out 30 feet above our heads. The room as half as long as a foot ball field. The whole wall right across from us was gone and in its place covered entirely by translucent glass. Revealing the clear blue ocean that was now reflecting the colors of the sunset like a kaleidoscope. Three couches and a bunch of armchairs covered the floor with coffee tables placed between them like fitting puzzle pieces. The TV was hidden in a wooden cabinet in a corner of the room.

"This is my second favorite room." I smiled at Yua; she was still in shock of the living room. I couldn't wait to see her expression when she saw "that" room.

"Wait here." I said to her as I disappeared behind a door to the right of us. She just nodded her head, blankly.

Yua looked around the room, her daze now gone. She bit her lip. It was a bit of a risk but she had to report in. She pulled out a small computer from her pocket and pressed a few buttons. A voice emitted from the computer.

"Are you in Usotsuke?"

Yua, Usotsuke, gave a curt yes.

"Good. Remember your goal."

"Yes Yoruai-sama"

Who is this mysterious girl that claims to be Yua? How is she connected with Yoruai? Just what is he planning? Will Takumi discover her before its too late? Who knows!

Takumi: Whaaaaaa??

Me: Review! Or else I will NOT write the next chapter!

Takumi: Review Dangit! I wanna know what happens! And remember to vote for a favorite pairing too!
