She wasn't sure where she was going to go today, her ghost had been telling her of a forbidden zone on earth that few have made it through alive, being as why they called it the forbidden zone. "I'm not sure you should go, Hinata." Her ghost, Ko, said as he hovered around her. "Where exactly is it?" she asked as she tapped through the selection screen on her vault. She now adorned armor that once she turned it into an engram it was purple. None of the others had quite understood why she rose through the ranks so swiftly when it had taken some of them years to get to her ranking.

However she supposed that it couldn't be helped that she was going to gain the attention of others. She also figured she was gaining attention because of her odd appearance, and not just the fact that she excelled swiftly. "You look like an Awoken but you aren't one, you have two ghosts, and are a rank thirty one for only having been here three weeks. Of course they will find you strange and intriguing." Ko stated simply as he hovered around her. She looked at her hands and knew he was right.

She had discovered her inbred warlock abilities and they made her wonder if this was a side effect of her being resurrected by the traveler's light, or if this was the special power that Toneri had told her about because of her title of princess Byakugan. She could send out a shockwave of energy that drained the life force and energy of those it was used on, and after a certain period of time she could drop what was called a nova bomb, which disintegrated her foes that it touched.

She sighed as she picked her favorite blue hand cannon, The Ill Will, which was a purple engram weapon. She looked it over, checked the magazine, and her spares, before strapping it back to her lower back. The second ghost hovered around her, watching every move she made. Hinata was slightly unnerved by the fact this dark ghost was so observant to every move she made. Her ghost was watching the other ghost as well, she supposed he was unnerved by this new ghosts presence as well. "You hold his life force, and the life force of others... it makes no sense. How is this possible?" the ghost asked suddenly and Ko turned to face Hinata.

"I'm not sure, but I know I'm supposed to find them, no matter what." She said and the darker colored ghost watched her for a moment then turned itself into an engram and stored itself away in her gauntlets. Hinata sighed as she gathered her things, she couldn't tell if the other ghost approved of her or if it couldn't stand her. She supposed that she shouldn't worry over it because it would be fine either way.

She did however have an odd feeling deep in her gut about this trip. She was going to be past the European darkness zone, which was completely in the opposite direction of which she wanted to go. She was going to be headed into the forbidden zone just in between Russia and what they now call Widow's Court in the European zone. She could faintly remember that there was a small village of medics in that general area, Sakura, Tsunade, and Shizune had gone there more often than not. There they had a wide variety of poisons, antidotes, herbal remedies, and rare herbs. Hinata had gone with them to that area a few times. She couldn't quite understand the draw that was leading her there now, it was a tugging feeling at her soul and she couldn't help but wonder if she should actually follow it or not.

Either way, she was going to follow it and see exactly what it was... even if she didn't quite like the outcome.

:-:

She dropped from her ship, which although wasn't a very flashy ship like the others she had seen, was still a nice ship. It was called the Eon Trespass and she had opened a chest on mars, which had given her the blueprints for the shipwright. She peered around at what remained of the old abandoned hospitals, businesses, and apartment buildings. This was not such a new sight to her, all this destruction and desolated chaos... It sent her mind into a nostalgic frenzy of panic, her having remembered exactly what it had been like after Pein had destroyed her home village.

Before she could get too in-depth with her memories of that fearsome time, a pulse of energy escaped her form and she looked around with confused eyes. It felt as if something was watching her, gauging her abilities just by glance. The familiar pulse of energy emanated from her eyes and she glanced around her. She could see their heart beats, the largest one was a calm simple rhythm while the group of medium and smaller ones hearts were racing. She couldn't tell if they were anxious, excited, or even angry, but she knew they were a threat to her safety.

These were the fallen after all; they were friendly to no guardian. "Hinata, what is it? What are you looking at?" Ko asked and she turned her gaze to him, albeit he is a small robotic creature, if he had a spine, those eyes would send chills down it. "A Fallen Captain, Three Elder Vandals, and about seven Dregs, I can get rid of the majority of them from here." she said as she decrypted her Ice Breaker Sniper Rifle. "I hope you are a good shot, You weren't the last time we needed the rifle..." Ko sighed and Hinata sighed. "I was practicing without using my Byakugan... I can hit them from here if I use it." She said and Ko gave no further reply.

She crouched and aimed with steady movements. She sat and watched them through the scope for a moment before she fired once, causing two Dregs to fall. She released her breath, pulled back the bolt to eject the used round, and ever so slightly moved the rifle to take aim once more. She fired three more shots and watched as the Vandals fell. That was when she moved the scope enough to see that the Captain had flickered from sight. "They found us out. I guess we should go now." she sighed as she watched her rifle vanish from sight, only for it to appear in her inventory on her gauntlets.

She could feel the eyes of the Captain boring into her back even from here. The gaze was curious, much unlike the enraged, hate filled gaze she had received when she had killed the Archon Priest on her first time back to earth. She looked up and off in the far distance at the edge of her Byakugan's sight she could see the cathedrals of Widow's Court. She was right where she needed to be, and she knew it.

There was a resonating energy deep underground beneath her feet, she was curious and wanted to know what it was but she was also cautious and didn't think going down there alone would help much. She grabbed the hand cannon on her hip and started into the old building before her. It was dark and she could hear the Fallen chattering amongst the darkness below. She couldn't understand what they were saying but she didn't think they could figure out what she was, if they had noticed her at all.

She glanced around at the darkened hallway before Ko appeared before her and shined a light. "Thank you." she said and he made a head shaking movement. "It's my job I'm here to help you." he said and she shook her head. "Everyone deserves a thank you for their assistance. I highly doubt I could do half of my assignments without your help, so I thank you." She said as she peered around a corner, her gun aimed down the hallway.

She was cautious, and she had every right to be. She didn't understand at all why she had been brought back, she just couldn't figure it out. They should have returned Naruto first he would have stopped at nothing to find, Sakura, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Gaara, and Ino. She also believed he could have accomplished this much faster than she could. She pulled herself out of those thoughts because of a loud thumping noise near her.

Gutteral voices signaled Fallen chatter nearby. She slipped into a small crevice and watched as the large creature stomped by. This Fallen was larger than any she had seen, and held a distinct feeling of authority over the others as well. Ko looked like he wanted to say something to her, but he kept silent as to not warrant the creatures attentions. As soon as the heavy footsteps began to fade, Hinata slipped from her hiding place and made her way in the direction the large Fallen went. "Hinata, That's a Kell. I highly doubt we are ready to face one just yet, even with all of the legendary and exotic weapons you have it may not be such a good idea." he said and she nodded.

"I know, I'm not going to fight it, I'm going to follow it to see where it is going." she said as she slipped through the same door The Kell just had. She saw the large creature stalking down the large hallway and made an effort to follow without being noticed. She took in the appearance of the creature from a distance. This one, albeit insanely tall, had a sleek, slender body shape. She deduced that this one might actually be female, which is why it was so odd in appearance to her. She looked closer and nodded to herself, Not that this one being a female would change anything; she had still decided that this Kell was female.

They watched as the Kell entered a large room, where a bright blue glow was emanating. "A Potential guardian..." Ko said and vanished, as did the other ghost. Her eyes went wide when she realized they had both abandoned her for this potential guardian. She swiftly made her way into the large room, which turned out to be something of a throne room in the old downstairs area of the building she was in. The feminine Kell rose from her seat and all four of her arms held weapons resembling her hand cannon. Hinata's eyes went wide as she realized that she had made a mistake coming to this place.

She heard the chatter behind her and realized that she had somehow called in reinforcements. Hinata focused that void energy to her hands and soon enough a glowing purple sphere appeared in her grasp. she swiftly spun on her toes and launched the Ball of energy at the group behind her, decimating the majority of them while a few had gotten out of range of the blast, but hadn't escaped her hand cannon. By the time she turned around the female Kell had her hand cannons all focused on Hinata, one pressed firmly into her forehead.

"Awoken.... Woman has trespass. Awoken woman will... die. Krux, Kell of house kings. Give no mercy to Awoken." The Kell stated oddly in english. "I'm not an awoken..." Hinata whispered but the Kell shook her head. "White glowing eyes, Shimmering... skin. Awoken. Awoken try take Krux Stone. Awoken will die Awoken can't have Krux stone." Krux, as hinata now knew this Kell by, stated angrily. Krux reached to pull the trigger, but an ominous purple blade shot from beside Hinata, flew right in front of the kell, and then was returned to the person who appeared behind the Kell.

Krux fell to her knees as Ko hovered around her head, scanning the fallen kell as Hinata watched him carefully, her heart beating right out of her chest. Krux wasn't dead, but she wasn't going to be moving for a while either. "Hinata..." a familiar voice called out to her and her eyes began to water. "Sasuke..." she whispered as she began to see blackened spots in her vision. She didn't hit the ground however, Sasuke had caught her before she could.

:-:-:-:-:-:

It had been dark for the longest time, and he wasn't sure where he was now. He could no longer feel the resonating souls of Naruto and Sakura, He couldn't even really feel Hinata's anymore. He did, however, Notice his body had been moved from his grave site. He could hear the chatter between a feminine creature and a smaller group of male creatures. He could relatively make out what the female was saying, seeing as her speech was a mashup of languages. She more often than not spoke of her stone, her blue stone. She would tell the others not to touch her stone.

He had come to wonder if he was in fact this stone she was so protective of. After who knows how long of being there, he felt that familiar jolt in his ethereal form. He began to get excited, seeing as this may be Hinata coming to save him. He could also feel two smaller entities there with her, both of which vanished the moment the doors opened. Not long after his spirit was set free of the blue crystal he had been trapped in. He watched in mildly stifled amazement as his body began to reform.

"A hunter." The darker colored mechanical creature said with a pleased tone. Ebony colored armor formed over his body, and a small white cloak fell over his head to rest at its end at his shoulder blades. He eyed his gauntlets and boots, finding them more comfortable than they look. "Crouch, Hunter." The small mechanical creature demanded smoothly. "What are you?" Sasuke asked with a grumble. "I'm your ghost, I am here to keep you alive; so if you would like to stay alive I would highly recommend you crouch." the ghost said and Sasuke sighed, but did as requested.

He didn't feel any different, but when he glanced down and could no longer see his feet, he supposed maybe this ghost wasn't so bad after all. He stood and made his way to where he felt Hinata's presence the most. When he got there he saw the feminine creature that had been holding him there. He lunged forward in his invisible state and threw the blade that formed in his grasp, the reflection of his reddened eyes still mirrored in the blade as it flew in front of the creature. A familiar Flash of purple and his trusty blade came flying back to him as he found himself on the other side of the creature. The creature fell to her knees and so did Hinata, but before Hinata could hit the ground, he caught her.

She just looked so happy to see him, and it made his ache dull the slightest bit. "I'm sorry I had let you slip. I didn't mean to let go... I will never fail you again, Thatis a promise." He whispered as he set her down. He turned to the creature that called herself Krux. "So you held me hostage, huh?" he grumbled as he lifted her head to him using his blade. "What an odd creature you are..." He said and she looked up at him with her multiple eyes. "You are going to kill Krux, No?" She asked and he looked down at her in slight disgust. "Please, don't kill her, Sasuke." Hinata murmured as she sat in front of the much larger being behind her. "Guardian... I do not understand your reasoning." Sasuke's Ghost said as it hovered around her. "The fallen deserve to live as well, they may have done wrong to other guardians but I suppose that this wrong has been done because the guardians rightfully fear them." Hinata managed softly as she looked up at the hunched over creature behind her.

"Suppose that we are only acting in fear of one another... I believe that not all of the Fallen are evil, there may be a few, but I doubt all of them are seeking harm on us. She was protecting a stone... that is why she felt threatened by me..." Hinata said and Krux weakly lifted her head to watch Hinata. "Krux stone... now destroyed..." she said and Hinata frowned and looked up at the larger being. "Forgive me... I did not mean for it to be destroyed." Hinata said. The large kell watched her in silence. "Awoken do not apologize. Awoken is strange..." She said and Hinata watched her oddly.

"What are the Awoken?" Sasuke asked and The Kell slowly looked at him. "Shiny people, Glowing eyes, some white, some orange, red and blue too, Pompous behavior. That... is Awoken." She said and Sasuke raised a brow. "That's nothing like Hinata, though. I'm not sure you really understand her..." Sasuke said in that tone of voice Hinata remembered well. "If weren't human, would have thought you were Awoken." Krux managed and Hinata released a small giggle. "That's Sasuke for you though." She said then shoved herself to her feet. The Kell tried to stand as well, but Sasuke forced her back to the ground. "No one said you could stand..." Sasuke said and The kell looked to Hinata. "Woman spared Krux. She... Understands. I protect... good... human." Krux said and Hinata offered Krux a hand, much to Sasuke's dismay. But there wasn't very much he could say, because once Hinata had made up her mind on helping something he knew she wouldn't be swayed.

"Krux, Kell of house kings is Kell no more." She said and Hinata shook her head. "You don't have to drop your title." Hinata said and Krux shook her head. "Krux is leaving the wolves and kings. Skolas cause much trouble, Taniks too. Krux wants no part. Krux will join humans, Just as Variks has." She said and made her way to the back of the room. "Krux will bow before the queen, but will also protect human if human calls. The guardians dislike Krux, so she will stay unseen." She said as she typed in a code in the back wall behind her throne.

The wall proceeded to vanish and a large vortex of blue energy appeared behind the opening of the false wall. "Krux Will leave, but leaves.... Nata... a gift for sparing Krux life..." She said and a glowing object began to form, but then dropped two purple engrams. "Krux collects... Shiny orbs too..." She said as another set of engrams fell from the light, these two were yellow instead of purple, blue, green, or white. "Thank you, Krux." Hinata said but Krux stopped before she entered said vortex. "Do not thank, Krux did nothing. Hinata... spare Krux, Krux thanks you." She said then walked into the vortex. Krux vanished from sight and Hinata frowned as she watched her leave.

"Ok... so what was that thing, Who is Taniks, and who is Skolas? And... The Queen? Variks?" Sasuke asked in a highly unamused tone. Hinata stood to her full height after gathering the engrams and storing them away in her gauntlets. She turned to him and her lips began to tremble, her eyes beginning to water up once more. She then lunged forwards and engulfed the taller male in a tight hug, taking him by surprise. "You don't hate me?" he asked and she shook her head which was still buried in his chest. "But I let go..." He said and she sobbed into him. "But you didn't mean to... It wasn't your fault, I promise I never blamed you." she said and he frowned deeply and wrapped his arms tightly around her, one arm wrapped around her head and his hand softly gripping the top of her head. "No one ever deserves half the kindness you give, especially not me..." he muttered into her hair and she shook her head.

"You're my friend... You fought by my side to protect me, even if we failed... I respect you and I would never want anything to happen to you..." she said and he released her, taking a small step back in the process. She wiped her eyes and beamed up at him. "I suffered slowly, dying of an unknown and possibly incurable disease. I thought that dying in such a way was punishment for failing to pull you up..." He said and she looked at him with shocked and appalled eyes. "But, even though I suffered for years in the back room of my home, your children stopped by to visit for years after I failed you." he said and a small smile graced her lips.

"Himawari would sing the song you always sang when you tended to your gardens, Bolt would come by to see Sarada and tell me of his missions and how well they went. He excelled swiftly, but not as swiftly as his younger sister. Who, by the way, looked just like you." he said and hinata's eyes shone with pride. "She hit Jonin status before bolt had even been considered for chunin." sasuke said with a slight chuckle, since he figured this would have been how it would have happened either way.

"Who did they marry?" She asked with Glittery yet curious eyes. He supposed she had figured something out. "Bolt married Sarada, I offered my blessing and Sakura was just ecstatic." he said and she repressed a smile. "Himawari married Shikamaru's kid huh?" she asked and he nodded. "Yes although she made him actually work unlike his father." Sasuke sighed and looked around them with a frown. "What is this place... It smells like rust and dirt." he said with a disgusted twitch of the nose. "And also... back to the previous question, do you know what Krux was talking about?" He asked and she shook her head.

"I have no idea... Skolas? Taniks? We will have to ask The Speaker..." Ko interrupted and They looked at him. "But the Queen... I do know of her. She and her Brother single handedly protected the Reef and the Awoken." Ko said before he hovered off out the door that Krux had left through. "Hinata there's a chest in here." He said and she nodded and followed through. Sasuke followed after, not wanting anything to happen to her on his watch. He watched as she shoved open the chest and his gauntlets made a noise. He looked down and glimmer was flashing on his screen. "I will explain later, Did any weapons flash on your screen as well?" she asked and he shrugged which h=earned him a sigh.

She turned to him and began typing on his screen only for a something to begin forming in his grasp. He jumped ever so slightly, which earned him a giggle. "It's called the Painted MOS, A hand cannon. Take care of it, it will be the only one you will have for a while." she said and he shrugged releasing his hold on the weapon as it vanished from sight and back into his engram storage. She didn't seem to be as nervous and fidgety as he had remembered her to be but that was alright she still seemed to be Hinata.

She looked straight up at the sky from the circular tube leading right up to the surface. "That's how she got out so fast, I thought she had a ketch or something hovering up there." Ko said and hinata smiled. "I was curious of it too. Now I know that we can leave in a similar manner." she said and typed on her gauntlets, the Eon Trespass shot overhead then slowed to hover over the tunnel. Sasuke stepped over to look up as well and was caught by surprise to find that he himself was being lifted off the ground and being transported into the ship. He gently hit his feet within the ship and stared around at all the flashing lights, screens, and buttons all over the place. "You know what, I'm not even going to try to figure this out yet. I think I will wait." Sasuke sighed as he sat in one of the few swiveling chairs near the front of the ship. Hinata shook her head with a small smile. "Don't worry you really won't have to do much, your Ghost drives it for you." She said and pointed at Ko who was scanning the module in the front. "Ah, I see, That's a relief." he said and she nodded.

"So what is this place, where are we going, and why are we actually alive?" He asked and she shrugged. "I actually don't know much other than we are special and they need our help, so I was going to offer my assistance any way I could have. The speaker however discovered my greater purpose..." she said and sasuke watched her in interested silence. "I made quite the spectacle I suppose... The nine tail's chakra, The Susanoo's chakra, Ino's image, Gaara's image, sakura's... Shikamaru's... I suppose I was only brought back to be a locator..." she sighed and he narrowed his eyes at her. "Stop lying to yourself." He snarled and she looked at him with saddened eyes.

"But it's true... I died first last time, what's to stop me from dying this time after I gather the group together?" she asked and he glared at her once more. "Me, I am here to stop anything from happening to you! I let you down once! I refuse to let you go again!" He snarled and she stared at him with wide eyes. "Sasuke... It's alright..." she began slowly, her path of speech not yet chosen, but she knew where she was going to go with it. "Just because Naruto is your best friend doesn't mean you have to treat me like I matter to you..." she finished, her tone saddened, but firm.

"Don't you dare go there, I am talking about you right now, not him. I swear if you go and try to sacrifice yourself for one of us..." He began with an angered snarl, which caught her off guard. The next thing he said however, made her realize just how serious he was about this topic.

"I will kill myself too."

That was the last thing that was said the entire ride to the tower, she didn't want to make him say anything else she would regret, That last statement was definitely one she would regret making him say...

:-:-:-:

The Speaker eyed Sasuke Wearily, the dark gaze that stared back at him in everything but amusement wasn't one he preferred to see. His eyes glanced over to the group that was eyeing both he and this newcomer curiously. The tallest of the four was a Warlock, a well-known warlock, his personality and sense of companionship set him aside from the others he had met. His name was Loki and just as you would picture, he donned long evergreen robes, and donned the most peculiar helm of gold and green. He supposed Loki's creativity had kicked in and he had painted that odd ram helm green and gold to match that of the apparel of the God Loki himself. He wouldn't mind speaking with that guardian, but some of his company wasn't to be quite so admired.

It wasn't until Loki had stepped out from in front of her, that the speaker had seen her though... His younger sister, who happened to be very picky on the pronunciation of her name and her height as well. She wasn't the bad company Loki was with, though if you said her name wrong or called her short she had quite the fiery temper. Her name was Asura and she was very much a replica of the olden Japanese god as well as her brother was for Loki. She was one of the strange ones. An outcast among the guardians.

She was something of a mixed breed, people would say. She received so much hatred for what she was, and she didn't understand it. She was a hunter that was revived without her left leg, the leg that just so happened to be transplanted during the emergency transplant was that of a titan. Her body was at first confused by what abilities she was supposed to have, so she ended up with some of both. Seeing as she was the hunter vanguard leaders assistant, it is clear on what side she went with.

His eyes then drifted towards the third member of the group, despite this one being the youngest of the group, the siblings of the group seemed to get along a lot better with this young titan rather than the last member of their squad. He supposed it was something about Dani's energetic demeanor that made him such a likable guy. he supposed.

The last one was a Hunter, donning the Osiris armor, which was colored purple. He appeared to be an annoyed Awoken half breed with dark hair and dark eyes to match. He supposed he already knew who that Hunter was, judging by his troll-ish personality he knew it had to be Lion. The speaker was in no mood to deal with that particular Hunter at this very moment, so he chose to focus himself on studying the newcomer before him, deep down though... he was hoping Lion would go away somewhere...

The hunter soon lost interest and he left, much to the Speaker's relief. His friends however, stalled for a moment but then followed suit, the speaker supposed they were just sizing up the newcomers, seeing as each of them were rank thirty four, which is the highest rank a guardian has gotten at this very moment. The ranking system was based on skill and as of this moment, none of them have progressed past this current skill set. The speaker however foresaw the coming of the graduation of that skill set, and it instilled a weary fear in him that it may not be one of his original guardians to break that level, but one of these newcomers.

Now it may seem as if he was weary of the newcomers, but he wasn't. He was more so worried about the darkness that was coming that was going to boost the current ranking system into overdrive. That is what the Speaker feared. He didn't believe the traveler was healing fast enough to defend against the darkness yet. "The traveler calls you the dark one..." The speaker said as he turned his gaze back to Sasuke. Hinata donned a saddened look, and the speaker supposed that there was something dark about the man before him that she knew of. The man before him however, showed no interest in anything but her. "The traveler says you just have this... feeling to you that screams dark... but the traveler wants us to trust you. And I suppose the reason we should trust you is because of the power I can feel radiating off of you." He said and a smirk crossed Sasuke's lips.

Hinata grasped Sasuke's forearm and she gave him a pleading look. "Well I suppose you two should go so you can show him around the tower. Goodbye miss Hinata." The speaker said and she smiled at him before they left.

"You saw the videos his ghost sent didn't you?" Kris asked as the speaker made his way up the set of stairs to his desk. "Yes... That is quite a fearsome ability, and it seems as if he isn't afraid to brag about it." The speaker said and looked back over to the projected video on repeat on one of the orbs nearest him. Sasuke had stepped in front of Hinata as she had been attacked by a group of the Hive's knights. His eye had flashed and the Knights had burst into blackened flames. That, however... wasn't what had killed the Knights...

What had killed them was the blade that had formed in the hand of the fragment of the skeleton that had appeared around him. "What exactly are these people?" Kris asked and the speaker shook his head. "Our saviors... Kris... They will exalt the darkness..." the speaker said and looked at the young man near him. "I wonder what the healers, the fox, the sandman, and the shadow master will be like..." Kris said and the speaker sat down. "The sandman, or Gaara as Hinata called him should be an interesting one. I believe his best attack strategy would be on mars. The shadow master, or Shikamaru... this is going to be quite an interesting group I must say... I've never heard of anyone as strong as these people." The speaker said and Kris grinned.

"If they can actually band together and save the traveler and the human race... I have no idea what will actually happen but I think I would cry." Kris laughed and the speaker released a chuckle. "I happen to agree... I believe many tears will be shed on the glorious day that we are saved from this darkness..."

:-:-:-:-:

"So I have a question for you two." The white haired girl said as she stalked over to where Hinata and Sasuke were sitting on the railing of the tower overlooking the city below. "What would that be?" Hinata asked with a small smile as Asura plopped down on the ground near them. "You two knew each other in your past life right? Kinda like me and Loki did but you two were friends right?" she asked and Hinata nodded, Sasuke only stared at the white haired woman. "Get to the point." Sasuke said and her eyes flashed dangerously. "Oh, so you think you're a bad ass do you? Just hold on, I was trying to ask a friendly question that could help you in your endeavors, but since you're going to be that way I'm going to leave." She said with a roll of the eyes.

"I don't need help from some weak little girl." He sneered and she gave him an unamused look. "Weak?" she asked and tapped on the screen of her gauntlets and shoved them in his face. "I'm a higher rank than you. Don't you dare belittle me." she said as she stood and grabbed a hold of his short hunter cloak. "Be a douche all you want, but in this world... that gets your comrades to drop you off on the moon and leave you. I was just going to inform you that there was something there that may interest you." She said then released him and turned away. "Asura are you alright?" Loki asked and she nodded. "Yes, I was just trying to inform them of their possible friend that's dead on the moon, but I guess some people don't lose their personality in death." She said and turned to walk away.

"We will settle this in the crucible later." She called behind her and Hinata froze. "Sasuke..." she called and he glanced at her. "Hm?" "I won't survive in the crucible... you're fighting against other guardians." She said and he shook his head. "We aren't going to the crucible." He said and patted her on the head. "I wouldn't subject you to that..." he said and she nodded. "Hey Asura." Sasuke called and she turned to face him. "What now?" she snapped and he rolled his eyes.

"Where is this guardian at on the moon?" he asked and she raised a brow at him. "What's in it for me? You just shit talked me to my face." She said and he sighed. He pecked through his inventory and tossed her a hand cannon. "Holy shit..." she exclaimed and looked up at him. "You would give this to me? Just for me to say where they are?" she asked and he shrugged. A frown crossed her lips and she shook her head. She handed the weapon back to him and nodded. "You keep it. You'll need it." she said and Sasuke raised a brow at her. "You're not so bad after all I suppose. You're just a straight to the point kind of guy." She said and he shrugged.

"There's a titan, they're trapped in a crystal in the Temple of Crota. The stranger said it was important for them to be freed. I would have, but I couldn't get through the crystal. The ghost was imbedded in it as well. I guess crystallized guardians are your thing." Asura said and tossed them a salute before she trekked back over to her squad. "What a strange girl..." Sasuke sighed and Hinata laughed. "She wouldn't have been so bad had you not been so rude." She said and he shrugged. "I'm not a people person."

"I know... I wonder who it is." Hinata said and Sasuke sighed. "If she said titan there are only two people I can think of being classified as a titan..." he said and Hinata thought for a moment and her eyes held an unreadable look, but a small smile crossed her lips.

"Sakura or Naruto." Was all she said and he nodded.
