I shot up from where I was sleeping. Nightmare.

I looked around from where I was, white walls and a heart monitor. So I'm in a hospital. I looked to my left and saw Sasuke sleeping on the chair next to my bed.

Wait what?! Sasuke died!

I frantically look around the room having a mini panic attack, until my eyes stopped to the bedside table. I look and see an envelope with my name on it, and I reach my hand over to it. I grasp the thin paper in my hand and unravel it, reading what was inside.

Kaji,

If you are reading this then that means that you finally woke up. Sasuke didn't die, he was put in a temporary death state by Haku. So if you see him in your room, no he is not a ghost. We carried you back from our mission, you were asleep for 5 days, and counting, due to chakra exhaustion. Hope-

I look to see the neat writing was cut off with a messier handwriting.

Hope you feel better Kaji!!!!

That's probably Naruto.

Sorry, that was Naruto. Well, we haven't done any missions because we only do them together, so when the nurses let you out come over to the Hokages office and tell him so he can come and find me.

-Kakashi

I breathed out a sigh of relief. It didn't say anything about major injuries, although I can see Sasuke still has some bandages on him. I look out the window and see that it is about 3 AM, earlier than anyone would ever wake up. I jumped out of the hospital bed and ran to the chair with my clothes folded neatly on it.

I looked back to see Sasuke still sleeping soundly, and I quickly stripped from the hospital gown into my clothes. He wouldn't wake up right when I was changing. I re-tie the mask around my face, as it was getting loose. I walk up to Sasuke and kiss the top of his head through my mask, before quietly opening the window. I throw both my legs over it and then quickly shut it, sprinting off to my secret spot.

It took me about 10 minutes, the hospital was all the way on the opposite side of the village.

Once I got to the lake, I immediately walked to the moss covered rock, and looked up at the stars.

'I kind of miss Itachi. Is that bad?' I ask in my head.

'Nah kid, don't sweat it. Your getting to the age where a man and a woma-' Minoru starts but I quickly put up a mind block.

"Jeez, don't wanna hear that gross stuff." I say aloud.

I hum as I think of what song I want to sing, finally deciding on one.

(This is called "Welcome To My Life" by Simple Plan, check em out guys!)

Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place,

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you?

Do you ever wanna run away?

Do you lock yourself in your room

With the radio on turned up so loud

That no one hears you screaming?

No, you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels alright

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?

Are you sick of feeling so left out?

Are you desperate to find something more

Before your life is over?

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?

Are you sick of everyone around?

With their big fake smiles and stupid lies

While deep inside you're bleeding

No, you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels alright

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face

And no one ever stabbed you in the back

You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay

Everybody always gave you what you wanted

You never had to work it was always there

You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

Welcome to my life

I hear a steady heartbeat near the First Hokages head after I finish my song. I hop off of my moss rock and walk over there. I mask most of my chakra to seem weak, just in case.

I see a man with an orange mask on, and an Akatsuki cloak covering the rest of his body. He's looking over Konoha, in the spot I usually sit in after I finish singing on the rock.

"Hey bud, could you move? I usually sit there, it has the best view of Konoha." I tell him, making him swivel his head my way and pull a kunai out.

I laugh casually, although I'm kind of nervous. This guy has a huge amount of chakra, which I start to feel being masked. He lowers his kunai but still keeps it out. He ignores me, looking back over Konoha.

"Dude!" I say to him, walking over to my spot. I look down on him, as he is sitting down. He looks up at me, and I see the Sharingan.

"Are you kidding me! Another Uchiha! Just great! Don't tell me your an ass like Sasuke." I yell at him, closing my eyes. I still don't know if he will use it on me.

"You can open your eyes. I have no desire in hurting you." I hear a really deep voice say.

"Woah! Dude your voice is deep as hell, so you are older than Sasuke, right?" I start to ask, but immediately pause, "Hey! Get out of my spot man!" I yell at him, suddenly remembering what I wanted to tell him.

"No." He tells me.

"Go sit on the Third's head if you want a good view. I like to sit on Hashirama's head, I think it has the best view of the village." I tell him, and I push him over and sit in my spot. He growls at me, before pushing me over so he can sit back in his spot.

"Hey bud! That's my spot. Go find your own!" I yell at him.

"What do you not understand about the word no?" He asks me.

I activate my Teishi-tai, making his legs and arms stop working. It has been much easier for me to stop the arms and legs, thanks to Minoru. I lift him up, and plop him down about 5 feet away from my spot. I release him from my kekkai genkai just as I sit back down in my spot.

His Sharingan eye meets my similar red eye, and they glaze over slightly with confusion.

"Thanks for moving man, you were a really big help. You are really fat. I'd suggest going on a run every day." I tell him sarcastically at first, but then turn it to a calculating voice.

I ignore his gaze, and focus on the village, which is slowly becoming more and more visible. The sun will come up in the next hour, but the sky is a lighter color than the usual night sky, although it is still a majestic blue.

"What was that little girl?" He asks me.

I ignore him, and start to hum a beat and I lay down on my back, looking at the few remaining stars.

"Girl! Tell me what that power is now!" He yells at me.

I ignore him instead, and get up. "What good would it be for me if I told you? Besides, I have to go. I don't want my friends finding this spot. Later deep-voice-man." I tell him, and I throw a wave behind my back and run back to the hospital. It takes me a little longer to get back to the hospital because I couldn't risk showing that weird guy my true speed.

I finally get to the hospital and walk up the wall up to the window with the paper taped to it. I knew I wouldn't find my room without a marker, so I taped a piece of paper on the outside of the window. I ripped the paper off and burnt it, throwing the ashes behind my back. I quietly open the window, and move my legs over to land in the room. I shut the window, and walk over to my bed. I notice Sasuke shuffle a bit in his sleep, and I freeze like a deer caught in headlights. He doesn't wake up, and I climb back onto the lumpy bed.

I shut my eyes, and fall back to sleep. Well, try to fall back asleep. I end up thinking about a lot of things. My clan. My brother.

*Flashback*

My brother and I sat down on the large rock that was covered in moss, him helping me up because I was really small. I grabbed his big warm hand and he hoisted me up there, and I sat on his lap. He played with my hair, and I played with his free hand, twiddling his fingers.

"Brother?" I ask him.

"What is it sis?" He replies kindly.

"Why do we exist?" I ask him, and he stops playing with my hair to take his free hand and stroke his chin.

"Hmm..." He starts, "I think everyone has a different reason. Some people live to become a great ninja, some live for money, maybe even a reputation. Do you want to hear my reason to live?" He asked me sweetly.

I turned my head back to him, nodding my head really fast. He chuckles, and his warm dark blue eyes shine with amusement.

"My reason to live... is you. I live for the sole purpose of defending you, mom, dad, and the village. I train as hard as I can, so if danger ever comes our way, I'll be strong enough to protect you. Being able to work hard is the best talent of all sis, if you can do that then nothing can limit you. All you need is the power to protect your comrades. So long as you can do that, you shouldn't care if you are the weakest person in the world!" He tells me.

"But brother! What if you die protecting me and mom and dad and the village!?" I yell at him, feeling tears start to poke out of my eyes.

He laughs whole-heartedly, "Sis! You still don't get it do you? You should always put your friends as a priority in your life. If you love someone, tell them. If something is precious to you... No matter how painful or hard it seems, no matter what it may cost you, you have to hang in there... and protect it with all the strength you've got, even at the risk of your own life! If you do that, then even if you die in the attempt, at least the world will be left with the proof that a man worth living had died! It'd be like your legacy! Huh," He says, sheepishly rubbing his neck, "I guess that was a little corny?"

I giggle and lean back into his stomach, "I get it now! I'll never let my family or my friends die! I'll beat up anybody who messes with em'!" I say, lifting up my sleeves as an attempt to show my non-existent muscle.

He laughs at me, shaking his head slightly.

A tear drop falls out of my eye.

"I will protect my friends with every ounce of strength I have... even at the cost of my own life... then the world will know, even if I died, that I was a person worth living for... that is my dream." I mutter, closing my eyes and falling into the blackness that most people call sleep.
