Sorry that i took a while and that the chapter is short but kinda had to and ran out of ideas for this chapter hehe enjoy XD

(Sasuke's POV)

After my meeting with Madara I decided to go to my room to rest. As I was walking down the halls I saw Mariah's room coming up. I slowed my pace and stopped in front of her door. I grasped the knob and pushed the door open. I stepped into the room and stood in the middle of it looking around. Every time I think about her all I see is the face she gave me right before she left. Pain, sorrow, sadness, hate, confusion, and heart break was written all over it.  Clutching my fist I punched the wall next to her bed.

"Damn it! Why did I have to be so stupid!" I scolded myself.

I've lost her again. She left for good now and probably won't return to me. It took her a long time for her to forgive me from when I left Konoha and this is 100 times worse than that. She'll never forgive me again. After the transfer of my and Itachi's eyes I shall look for her. Even if she refuses to come with me I'll drag her back kicking and screaming. I won't lose her again.

I fell on my knees bent over with my head on the ground. I wanted to get stronger to protect her but that wasn't enough, she always gets hurt. I haven't realized that she's not even hurt physically........she's hurt emotionally and it's all my fault. Everything is my fault. After the operation with my eyes I'm searching for her.

(Kakashi's POV)

We soon returned to Konoha and I went straight to the elders. They agreed to appoint me Hokage.

"Hatake Kakashi, I officially appoint you as-"

Then some one opened the door.

"URGENT NEWS!"

"What is it?! This meeting is of the utmost importance!"

"So is my report sir!"

Apparently Tsunade has just awoken.

"Oh thank God, I'm not ready to be Hokage and plus it would cut into my me time." I thought.

I soon went to see her after a while. I heard yelling on the other side of the door.

"I'm glad to see you've recovered. I was about one second away from becoming the 6th Hokage and honestly I don't think I'm suited for the position. In situation like this, your presence will be a lot more effective than mine." I said.

"I'm surprised about the joint forces......can't believe Raikage and Tsuchikage agreed to cooperate."

"It's just another indicator of how serious this is."

"So Uchiha Madara really is alive?"

"I don't have any solid proof, but considering his plan. I doubt it could be anyone else."

"Another war.....the Uchiha's fate now torments us all. Call a planning session as soon as I'm finished! We have to prepare for war!"

            "Oh crap I so don't want to tell her this but I have to." I thought.

"Oh and um so here's the thing....We uh ran into Sasuke and Madara........after he killed Danzo......and well Mariah was also with them.......and uh sometime during the end they.....wanted her to come with them but she kinda said no....."

"Isn't that a good thing? Where is she now?"

"Um that's where I was getting too.........you see uh......Mariah kinda just left everyone......she said that she's fed up with being a ninja and a tool.....so she disappeared from everyone....."

"WHAT?! WE MUST FIND HER NOW!"

"And that's why I didn't want to tell her.." I thought.

(Mariah's POV YAY)

As I rested in a tree I was waiting for my chakra to build up because well I'm surprised that I'm not dead yet.....................yet........I took off my shirt(she has a fishnet thingy underneath it along with an undershirt) and put it against the wound to stop the bleeding. I then started to cough but violently.

"Damn internal bleeding." I muttered.

As my chakra was building up I was slowly healing my lung. As long as my lung is healed then I can bandage up the skin and I'll be fine. I looked up at the sky as the sun was starting to set. It's just like that night when everything started. Everything was exactly the same as that night. The smell, the temperature, the atmosphere, the stars, the light wind, everything.  

As I was leaning against the tree staring at the sky just thinking about life. Such questions were going through my mind like:

Why was I born?

Why was I born into the Kira clan?

What is my purpose?

Why did I have to have this rare Kekkai Genkai?

Why did I meet Orochimaru?

What would have happened if my clan was never destroyed?

Why did Orochimaru experiment on me?

Why did I live?

Why was a put into that class in the academy?

Why did I seal off my heart?

Why didn't I graduate from the academy sooner?

Why was I put on team 7?

Why did I save them?

Why did I get close to them?

Why did I fall in love with Sasuke?

Why did he love me back?

Why did he have to leave?

Why did I leave?

Why did this all have to happen?

Why me?

"I need to kill Madara. First things first; why does everyone believe that I'm so powerful and fear me? Madara is much stronger than me and I always get hurt. If I was so powerful then I would be indestructible. If people were to team up against me then I would surely lose. So why me?

In the past sure I was powerful as a Genin but the Hokage along with ANBU could've killed me. Zabuza almost did but that was only because I was protecting my team. Orochimaru was stronger than me, when I came to Akatsuki they together were stronger, Madara is stronger. Why did the elders want me dead and the clan dead? This just doesn't make sense.

Sure I can copy any jutsu and Kekkai Genkai but they all have a weakness. Why does Madara still want me alive? I've betrayed him so many times now and I am of no use to him anymore. He's planning something but what? What does he want with me and Sasuke? But the main question is....................how do I kill Madara?"

I sighed as I wrapped the bandage around my abdomen covering my wound.

"This is all just too complicated. This is very stupid and how the hell will I even be able to defeat him? He has more experience than me and plus he has that thing that has people go right thru him- wait a second. I. Am. Stupid. I CAN FREAKING COPY THAT! I probably already did and haven't even tried it yet.

No wonder I can't beat him I'm so stupid. I have to work on my other Kekkai Genkai and perfect them. If I perfect the Renningan then that should be a huge advantage against him. I need to train my ass off but at the same time not be discovered by anyone while still keeping an eye of everyone. Uh! WHY IS LIFE SO COMPLICATED!"

I started to make some hand signs and summoned more of my very little chakra. I bit my finger drawing blood and slammed my hand to the ground summoning Kurayami.

"Mariah are you alright?!" She asked panicked.

"Uuuummmmm.............................yea-.........no...." I answered.

"What happened? You wreak of blood!"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

"No you're not.........................I can smell......salt? Were you crying?"

I sighed.

".................no............." I lied.

"Yes you were,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No I wasn't!"

"Yes you were!"

"NO I WASN'T! OUCH.......FUCK!"

"Are you okay?"

"No.....................I'm in a lot of pain."

"What happened?"

"So Madara got pissed off at me and..............beat me.........he chocked me and punctured my lung...........then I got into a .......................fight with Sasuke...."

"Sasuke.......it's always Sasuke..........Mariah you should forget about him.........he's hurt you so many times already.....Look what this has done to you. Remember last time when he left? You almost died and disappeared for two and a half years and joined the Akatsuki. Everything is Sasuke's fault, he chooses everything over you."

"Kurayami?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you think everyone wants me on their side?"

"I'm not sure maybe it has to do with how you can copy every jutsu and kekkai genkai?"

"Maybe but they all have their weaknesses."

"You can improve them and make them even better,"

"Kurayami..."

"Yeah,"

"You're the only one who I can trust.....you're my best friend." I said crying and pulling her into a hug.

"You're my best friend too Mariah,"

"I'm so glad that I found you that one day.............even though you annoyed the heck out of me.............I love you...."

"I love you too,"
