Gaara and Akinas house

-smiles- It's nothing really.

Two Mist jounin flicker in. "Lord Kazekage, since Lady.." They see me holding Kin. "Mizukage?"

Nevermind that. What is it?

They look at each other then bow. "Another attack. On the Mist."

-grits my teeth then sets Kin down on the bed getting up- Let's go.

*Looks at you* You can not fight, you are pregnant love, let me go and defend your village

-shakes my head- Kinichi needs you here. Beside's it's my village and my responsability. -gets up and follows them out-

You better be careful love *thinks to myself- What is going on with her, ever since she got pregnant, this is so much different then when she was pregnant with Kinich-looks a little worried*

-flickers in downstairs gripping my shoulder and my ring glows as the wound heals itself quickly-

*Another Image flashes inside of your head, You are looking up at Kendiel, his eyes are full of sorrow and tears as the world around begins to fade, as you look up at him you see his eyes begin to turn cold and you hear something from him-I will never love again-you see him lean down and it feels like he is really kissing you softly, then the world goes black*

-you hear a scream from downstairs-

*flickers downstairs to where you are looking worried* What is wrong love? *Sees your shoulder bleeding and looks more worried* Your bleeding love, are you ok???

-looks over at you and hugs you tightly- Why...why am I seeing all this?!

What are you talking about love? Seeing what??? *holds you close to me, you hear something inside your head-you wanted to know what happened to him-the voice is gone*

-holds onto you paralyzed with fear staring wide eyed at nothing-

You look like you seen a ghost love *Holds you close to me*What is going on, please tell me love......

Kendiel...that day...he killed Megumi...

*looks totally shocked* Megumi.......How do you know about her *Another Image flashes inside your head, you see Ecko Standing in front of you, you hear Megumi speak-I want you to become Mizukage if anything happens to me in battle today-you hear Ecko respond-There is no way anyone can kill you, not even me with my speed-Image gone*

Megumi...was Mizukage...she handed the title to Ecko...but...it wasn't Ecko who took it...there was someone else after that...I took her place...

I know Ecko turned it down, the village was left without a Mizukage for a few years, then you showed up and restored order......I always wondered why she never became Mizukage though

-hugs you tighter- I'm scared...why am I seeing all this..?

I have no explanation my love *Looks worried, a voice is inside your head-Do not fear, this is my life, you wanted to know why Kendiel was so cold. I will show you what happened next-Suddenly you see the inside of the chamber of Deitys, you only see three deitys and they speak-Megumi, you have been chosen to join us as a judge of all souls, you will not remember any part of your past as long as you are a deity, also we are going to take away your emotions so you can become a better judge, emotions get in the way-all three deitys clap their hands and the image fades*

They turned her...to one of them...-passes out in your arms-

((Gtg))

*Lays you down on the couch and thinks to myself-How does she know......*
((B4N))

-wakes up and looks around then sits up staring at the floor- Thinks: Kendiel...and Megumi....were in love..? That would explain a lot of her personality...I need to talk to her... -clenches my fists then stands up-

*Reading a very old looking book when I pass out and drop the book down to the floor*

-runs over to you- Gaara?! -shakes you then looks down at the book- What's this...?

*Sleeps peacefully, you see it turned to a page about extremely advanced jutsus about space/time*

-picks the book up and reads over it- Thinks: Why..?

*You spot an interesting jutsu, it tells you that you can Bend space and time for a past event, there is a warning about the jutsu, but the book is so old that is has worn away, I slightly move in my sleep*

-reads over the page again- Thinks: Is he going to..? -my eyes go wide as I look at you- No..!

*you see a few faded words towards the bottom, it says this is a genjutsu, you can only view past events of your own life, then you notice a strange little bookmark slightly sticking out from the back of the book, you turn to the page and see the title Time Alteration Jutsu, I stir a little more in my sleep*

-looks at you- What are you going to do with all this..?

*Slightly stretches and continues to sleep, you remember something about a locked door inside of my Kazekage office, but you dont know where the key would be, you know the door can not be broken down, the time jutsu says you can not be disturbed during the creation of the jutsu, it also lists several other jutsus needed, a note slips out of the book, words faded, all you can make out is 5 second alteration*

Thinks: He can't be trying to do what I..? -drops the book and runs upstairs to Kin-

He's sleeping peacefully on the bed.

-shakes him awake gently and smiles- Honey...I need you to watch your father..

He opens his eyes and looks at me. "Otay Mommy. Where Mommy go?"

Out for a little while sweety. She'll be back. -kisses the top of his head then stands up and flickers out.

Kinichi comes downstairs and curls up by you.

*I wake up feeling Kinich lay beside me, i smile* Hey my son, glad to see you *looks around* where is your mommy?

He shrugs. "Mommy say she go sowhere. Not say where. She say twake carwe of Daddy. I say otay! Then she weave." He smiles at you.

Since its just you and me, would you like to come to my office Kin? *smiles warmly as I pick up the book off the ground8

-flickers in one of the office rooms on the second floor unnoticed and opens the first of my books-

Kinichi smiles. "Otay!"

Flickers away with Kinichi and my book to my office

-clenches my fists- The forbidden art....the one my brother and I used to try to get our mother back...the one that nearly cost us our lives...the one that cost thousands of other people theirs...the one that created our clan of monsterous beings....the one that defies the laws of god... -closes the book and sighs- Do you even really know...what you're getting into..?

-stands up turning away from the desk leaving a marker in the page I was looking at and flickers out-

-flickers in after picking up Kin from the babysitter and sits down setting him on the floor smiling watching him play-

Flickers into the house with what looks like several books and stands in front of the fireplace, then tosses in all my notes to do with time and space jutsus, I sit down and watches them burn

-stands up and walks over to you hugging you tightly- I just want you to be safe.

*Stares at all the years of work burn away* I know, no matter how much I worked on it and done figuring, there is just too many events in history to be changed, I couldnt save her no matter how hard I tried...........I feel so useless....... *tears form in my eyes* So many lives gone because I was saved......I did the calculations, if I had died, then 469,586 people would still be alive, is it worth it? one life for that many????

-holds you- There is always an equivalency...see that child right there..? -pulls your head over to look at Kinichi then pulls your hand to my stomach- And this one..growing inside of me right now...you made it possible... -smiles- If I had died years ago...those people...my clan...would still be feeding off innocent people today...so you see...your one life probably saved thousands more...

*Smiles a little as tears are still in my eyes* Yea, maybe your right. maybe this is what is meant to be, Tomorrow, I am going to burn all those black books so nobody could ever attempt to use this jutsu ever again
*looks up at you and smiles, one last set of images enters your mind-You see me standing in front of you holding the book I just burned, you hear me speak-Are you sure about this Megumi, Ecko did die to save you me and kendiel, she told me not to use the jutsu-Megumi responds-We are not going to lose her yet, we need her too much, and besides, what will go wrong, Kendiel accidentally killing me cause the jutsu works and places me behind him at the wrong time?-We perform the ritual jutsu, you see ecko stand beside me when it is finished, suddenly you see kendiel in battle pulling his sword out of someone on the ground, you feel happy as you touch him, he spins around and has his sword through what feels like your chest, his eyes go from a fighting spirit to pure devastation as they go wide, a voice enters your head-This is how it should be, more lives would have been lost if I had lived and not Gaara- you see many events flash inside of your head as kendiel loses everyone he knows and you see him kill ten times more people then you could ever have imagined, the images stop*

-hugs you tightly to me and presses my forehead against yours- You feel warm. You have a fever.

Kinichi lays asleep on the floor.

-walks over and picks Kin up and walks back over to you taking your arm and leading you upstairs to our bedroom laying you down in the bed and walks Kinichi to his room laying him down amd comes back in carrying a pale of cold water and sets a cold compress on your forehead-

You see me sleeping and breathing funny, face looks really pale and feels hotter then before

-presses the compress closer to your forehead and slips a pill in your mouth and kisses your cheek- Rest...I'll leave you be...I'll you make you some tea and soup..

My breathing gets really shallow and my tempurature keeps going up, you see sweat roll down my face, and soon the covers get soaked with sweat as I begin to shiver intensely

-looks at you then feels your forehead again- You have the flu...no...something worse. -walks into the bathroom then comes back in with a syringe- This might help...bare with me love... -injects you with the medication at least lowering the fever-

Still shivers intensely even though the fever feels like it went down, the covers are soaked and I mumble-so.....cold.......so......hot...........
