Shino came out from the shadows and carried my brother. I looked at him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Kakashi-sensei would never allow me to leave you. He knew something like this might happen. Come,let us bury him." He said.

"Alright" I said softy and wiped my tears away.

"Bisuke,tell dad that I'm going to bury Kisame near Zabuza's grave." I said.

"Right." He said and ran off.

"Let's go" I said softly.

~2 DAYS LATER~

When I arrived with Shino in Konoha,I was greeted by daddy's embrace.

The embrace always ready for me to fall into whenever I'm happy or sad.

The embrace which always comforts me and protects me.

The embrace I grew in ever since I have met daddy.

He ruffled my hair and filled me in about the mission. He did not ask about mine. He could get it from Shino or Bisuke since they are there all the time.

Sasuke and Itachi battled and Sasuke won in the end. Itachi's body was taken by Zetsu,an Akatsuki. Sasuke was carried by Tobi,also an Akatsuki. Dad didn't follow them because he was outnumbered.

Juugo,Sasuke's teammate was killed by Naruto and Hinata. They hesitated but did anyway because he was in a condition where he couldn't control himself and craved for blood.

Sai and Kiba easily killed Karin which is also Sasuke's teammate. She was his fanboy. Kiba kept whining for not being able to fight with someone who is worth fighting.

After telling me the whole story,I went into my room and took a shower. I stayed under the shower for quite some time. Once I'm out with all of my clothes on,I slowly cut open my shark stuff toy. Inside revealed Hiramekarei. I took it and attached it on my necklace. Now my necklace of the Seven Swords of the Mist is complete.

I stared at it for a little while and decided to train with it.

I went down to be stopped by dad.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Training" I answered with my head down.

"You just came back. You should take a rest and sleep." He said with worry.

"I'm sorry.. But I can't sleep. I want to master all these swords." I said softly,especially the last sentence.

I suppose he knows about it seeing he didn't look surprised,just amused.

"Just get some rest first. Alright?" He lifted my chin and looked at me in the eye. He pat my head and smiled at me.

I looked at him for a few seconds and sighed.

"Alright.."

I returned to my room and he tucked me in bed. He kissed my forehead and left me to sleep.

They are gone.

They are all gone.

Kakashi is all I have now.

I can't let anything happen to him.

I can't.

I can't!

I slept with the same words chanted in my head over and over again.

I need to be stronger.
