Thunder crashed above, and rain started pouring down in an instant, mixing with his tears. Even though he didn't conjure it, the storm seemed to match his mood. The thunder roared, the rain poured and the lightning flashed.

Kinaga sat in front of Jaymaru's grave, looking at it sadly. On it read:

The Great Kage of the Stealth
Jaymaru Iruki
Beloved mother and sister.
Born and died a hero.
R.I.P.

It was one of those really big stones that only Kages were supposed to have for their grave. Kinaga couldn't hear them over the thunder, but he knew someone was coming. He didn't move, but sat still, looking at Jaymaru's grave. He pushed his hair back and put his face in one of his hands. How could this've happened? For the second time in his life, he wished that he could see ghosts.

eve looked at kinaga not tryung to be seen. she knew if she was saw she would be dead. she didnnt want anyone to know this... expesily not Deidara. she sighed and sat down she almost blended in. she did not expect to see anyone... but her old sensei... she gave another small sigh not caring if she was herd

Kinaga continued looking at her grave and said over the thunder and the rain. "I don't care who you are, but to stand that far back as to not be seen at her grave is just downright disrespectful." At that point, his eyes held a bit of coldness in them. Anyone who didn't want to be seen at her grave shouldn't even be there.

"even if im akuski you don't care if you see me?" she walked over to justus grave "i know you from somewhere... but where?"she sat down as the rain poured harder "i don't want you know who to get involved... i don't want to be killed by him

Kinaga looked at Eve, his eyes still with the slightest bit of coldness in them. "I don't know much about the akatsuki, so I really don't care if you're a part of them. And who exactly is "you-know-who?"" he asked. He fell silent for a couple seconds before saying "Twenty years ago I was a sensei in the Stealth Valley. You were on the mission when I died."

"hmm" she sighed "Deidara, the leader of the akuski. i don't want him to kick my but like before" she gave a small smile "20 years you where dead kind of creepy... how did it feel to die and is there really an afterworld?"

Kinaga slowly looked at Eve. "Deidara?" That highschool kid? He doesn't really seem like the killing type..... "I don't believe there was an afterlife...." he said, thinking. "It only felt like a few minutes since I died...and was resurrected here. To tell the truth.....I didn't even know I was dead. All it felt like to me was like I passed out. But then I woke up twenty years later...."

"wierd" eve said "yes Deidara you know has became a killing type but i've always thought that soon he will lose his touche and i sortof think really soon now" she looked at justu's grave "i have never seen a gost and i want to know if i can see one" she sighed.

"I see," he said in reference to Deidara. "There's actually only been two times I've wanted to be able to see ghosts, and now is one of them...." Kinaga looked down and smiled lightly. "I already miss her...."

eve nodded "she was someone who would always give her life for someone, she did" eve took another glance at the grave reading what it said "they could have put more on here"

Kinaga looked at the grave sadly. "Yes, they really could have. How can these people put so little on her grave?" he said, a bit coldly.

"even when she did so much" she frowned "but here she barly has any credit for it" she looked at the sky and lightning struck followed by a roar of thunder a small black cat ran up to them both

Kinaga looked at the cat and petted it, looking back at the grave. I wish I could've been there.... "You were close to her?" he asked Eve, still looking at the grave.

"yes... well sortof not real close but i could see her" she petted the cat and it tryed to climb justu's grave but fail so it just lay beside it eve sighed

Kinaga watched the cat with little interest. "If I could've been there...." he started sadly. "I still can't believe it...." he shook his head a little and thunder crashed above and a bolt of lightning struck the ground a little bit away from them.

Jutsu rose from her grave. The sound of scracting and talking had woken her, even though she wasn't sleep. She just couldn't sleep. She was nothing except for a hollow shell that was transparent. She climbed out the grave and smiled when she saw Eve. She thought the girl would never visit and she smiled even brighter when she saw Kinaga. She wondered why the two looked so down. Don't be ridiculous Jaymaru, she told herself, Your dead remember and Kinaga is alive. Lucky ninja he is. She waved her hand and grinned knowing they couldn't see her.

With a sogh she made herself solid. Sitting on her tomb she grinned at them ."Yeah, I deserve more credit than these few words, but what can I say, atleast I got some words," she said proudly. She then looked at Kinaga. "You're one lucky ninja," she said. "Me myself on the other hand should have been a bit more careful." She laughed brightly. "Eve, it's good to see you. Have you kept your promise of making sure my kids were safe," she asked.

"a lot has happened that can't be changed" eve gave a larger sigh than usual "nothing can change..." the words echoed in her mind

Kinaga looked at Jaymaru and his eyes widened. Am I seeing things...? "J...Jaymaru?" Kinaga felt as if his breath was caught in his throat. Kinaga gave a light smile at her. He gave a smal laugh "Lucky? Oh, I don't think so." To be revived only to find out you're dead? I wouldn't call that lucky... he thought.

Jutsu smiled. "Yep it's me in the flesh," she said then shook her head. "No...not in the flesh, but something,"s he said laughing. "Why don't you people cheer up. I've barely had anyone visit me since the day I was buried," she said. "But I did run into Xantrex though."

Kinaga smiled lightly. "It's good to see you Jay. I'd already started to miss you." Kinaga turned a bit red, and sighed. He knew this wasn't the kind of question you'd ask someone in her position, but he couldn't think of anything else to say. "How are you?" he asked, realizing that he sounded a bit foolish. He looked up. The storm was subsiding a little bit. He thought about what his father told him and wondered if this really was him making the storm.

Jaymaru smiled. "I'm doing great! A bit of problems that I don't get to see my kids or my granddaughter. Oh and for when it rains. Ever heard the term soaked to the bone, I get that literatlly," she said smiling. "What about you," she said.

"yes i am keeping my promis but it is hard" eve smiled "i'm glad i can see you and soaked o the bone, thats a good laugh!" she said smiling the cat on the other hand freacked out and ran away only to come back after a few seconds it hissed but calmed down

Kinaga's smile widened. He wondered how she could be so cheerful, but then again, this was Jaymaru. He shrugged. "Fine, I guess," he said, wondering if that was the most truthful answer he could give her. Then something struck him. "How are you staying attached here?" Kinaga couldn't remember anything after he died. He was wondering what was keeping her attached to this world. Not that he was complaining or anything.

Jutsu was glad to have someone laugh after all the drama that had gone down. "Yeah I know," she said. "Deidara is very intense, he just wants to make sure you all are loyal. He jsut doesn't know how to handle you all any better." She smiled. "He'll learn." She looked at Kinaga. "I just choose not to move on, it's better like this. I can still talk to you all and things like that." She said. "Maybe one day I''ll leave, but I'm not done here just yet," her eyes shinned brightly.

Kinaga looked down a slightly sad smile on his face. He just couldn't bring himself to laugh even at seeing her again. He looked up at her. "If that's the case, I'll visit you everyday then. I don't want you to be alone all the time, afterall," he said, smiling.
