Shadow`s of the enemy

Toshi grinned and laughed as Shiro nuzzled her. "Hey, that tickles!" She picked up the baby, and rubbed her nose against hers. "Strange...you have brown eyes, like me, not black like your parents..."

Miru smiled and pattet both of them on the head"..Shes blessed without the bloodline in her veins..i bet she wil lgrow up to be like you naka"

Toshi frowned. "But she might turn out...like me. And that's bad. Shiro-chan, when you grow up, be strong, independant(sp?) and beautiful, okay? Then you won't turn out as bad as I did."

Shiro blinked confused and simply smiled, miru let out a sigh and pattet toshi`s head"you not bad naka, stop telling youself that..it makes me sad"

"But I'm just so...simple. I'm not pretty like the other girls, strong or smart. I'm not graceful or fast, and I certainly don't have a beautiful face." Toshi smiled weakly and cradled Shiro in her arms. "Not like Miru-san."

"Theres nothing as Beautiful, its about the taste of others...but its what inside that conuts..", miru put a hand to toshi`s chest to were her heart was"..here let me show you something", miru pulled out a picture of a 5 year old sasuke, a 9 year old itachi(already long haired there), and herself as 4, her pale face was there, her hair was short, cheerfull black eyes but a big forehead, a tiny nose and a very skinny body"back then, my brothers and parents still loved me because i was who i was, not because of my looks"

"But Miru-san has skill too. The people don't care how I act, they care of how much power I have, and you have lots. The only reason I became a ninja was to get stronger for my grandparents at home...I'm still just a weak, plain, ugly little worm."

"well, a worm grows into a pretty strong butterfly someone, you will just have to wait and see..it took me 10 years to train to what i am today, and theres still much to learn"

"I don't have what Miru had," Toshi said. "You have a goal, which makes you stronger. I don't...."

"you do have a goal, the same as mine, to find true happiness naka..", miru stroke her cheek"now..lets egt some sleep, and you can help me shop some herbs tommorow"

Toshi nodded, and set Shiro down. Nedia had been listening, but kept quiet. He pulled the sheets over the three girls, not surprised that they fit well in that one bed. "G'night, girls. Men, out. Goru, Jashu, stay," he said, passed the boys some blankets and turned off the light as he went out. Goru sighed, and wrapped a blanket around himself, and drifted off to sleep.

((what now?xD))

Miru took both the girls into her favn and feel asleep, ratehr quickly

Jaschu took a kunai from his holster nad played with it, he didnt plan on sleeping

Nedia sat outside, in the empty hallway, with Itachi and Samu. "Don't be a wimp, Aiden, come out."

Aiden appeared, solidifying from a bundle of shadows. He looked pale and tired. "Are they okay?" he croaked, his voice breaking at the end.

"....for now."

((skip to morning where the medics examine Miru and are shocked she's fully healed ))

Samu got to his feet and sat down aiden"..asmo has put back the seals on miru and naka is recovering..it wont be long befor shes okay to..were you bein mate?..you look awfull, more than normal".

Aiden gulped, and scratched his head. His hair was messier than usual. "I had some problems with my...inner demon...and well, I didn't have Naka to restrain me, so I kind of went berserk... Are you sure they're okay? Is Miru bleeding anymore?"

"..you inner demon?", samu looked down, he had kinda forgotten aiden had a demon.."...yes, miru is all fine thanks to seals...ill ask her to look at you..when she do-", "its okay samu..im fine", miru walked out of the hospital room with some confused medics walking further down the hallway"..my body is fully healed, it seems like naka has healed me without knowing..", she said while taking a hold of aiden`s arm and let her hand run over it, healing it slowy

Under the dim lighting of the small lamp on the ceiling, Aiden's body was seen. He had tied his cloak around his waist to lessen friction. He had bruises and cuts on his arms and chest, and his shirt was so ripped it was just pieces of cloth hanging on him. "How...did she...heal you..?"

"..i explain later..just stay still befor the medics sees you..", samu took off his robe and put it over iaden so it hid most of the wounds. Miru closed the biggest wounds and stopped most of the bleeding befor letting out a sigh"..ill fix you up at home..im gonna need one of my mothers scrolls..you guys better head home, if naka sees you like that aiden she will freak out.."

Shiro was sitting in toshi`s lap and looked around curios

Aiden nodded, and wrapped the cloak tighter around him. "Protect her when I can't..." He sighed, then disappeared.

Toshi felt intuition telling her to wake up, and so she did. "Shiro...? Wha...?"

Samu entered the room with some tea for toshi sat it on the table beside the bed"..miru had to go fix something for the ANBU, she will be at home when we leave"

Miru followed and appeard next to him in the silent mansion, the uchiha female didnt hesitate but found the old scroll hanging from the wall"..sit down"

"She went back...?" Toshi asked sleepily, and yawned. "I.....see....Too bad...."

Aiden slouched over, and sat his butt down firmly.

Samu pattet her on the head"now dont worry, she promised she would go buy herbs without you"

Miru removed all his fraged(sp), cloth exsept the pants, formed some handsigs and begang the painfull slow process, healing the vital organs..

Toshi frowned, but nodded. "Well, since Miru's back home, you guys can go back to her. I'll be there as soon as I get discharged."

Aiden hissed in pain as he was healed. "Damn... This wouldn't have happened if I didn't killed Asmo when I had the chance..."

MIru put a hand over his mouth"stop actiong like a baby abd shush,,", she said healing patemon and him further

Aiden nodded and kept quiet. The bubbling anger in him died as he thought of Naka. He looked down, ignoring the pain that accompanied the healing process.
