Jutsu sat at the table making lunch for the kids. Her hand was cover in flour for the dumblings she was making. she smiled at te thought of Tenkuu drowing dough at Sukai. "Okay, almost done, just gotta put them in the oven."

She stood up and heaed to the oven and walked to the sink to watch her hands. "Now I'll just wait I guess, the kids won't be here for hours to come. i seem to be less busy these days." She went and sat down.

Tenma walked up to her house, feeling a little better after the night went by. I gotta remember to bew home by nightfall before.... He gulped at what happens if he isnt home by night. He continued to Jm's house. He knocked on the door.

Jutsu nearly fell off the chair. "Huh? Who could taht be." She walked into the livimng room and opened the door. "Hello Tenma, come in."

Tenma walked into the very famileir place. "Hello there Jm. Anything new happen lately?"

"Um, well, Sukai turned six and Sky and Jay are now 15. Tenkuu's training really well, but far from Chunin. Takashi came by and we had an arguemnt. Rumiko took the kids to the fair and Sky is planning on taking the Jonin exams while Jay is applying for sensei." She closed the door and sat on the couch.

It took Tenma a couple moments to sort all that out. "I see," he said. "Sky and Jay are already 15... Makes me feel super old."

Jutsu looks down. "Imagine how it makes me feel..." She looked up. "How have you been," she awkwardly asked.

"Well, I almost broke my leg, my chakra arm itches, Im hungry,poor, and I just learned that your making dumplings."

Jutsu smiled as she waled into the kitchen to pull out a plate taht she'd cooked earlier. she handed it to Tenma and sat back down.

Tenma smiled. "Thank you." He took a bunch and offered Jm some.

Jm took two and sat back. "I' m glad you're back she said half to herself half to tenma.

"Its good to be back." He scrathed the large gash on the back of his leg. "I only wish i DIDNT have to die."

"Okay...." Jutsu swallowed the dumbling. " anything good."

"Defne 'Anything Good' please."

Jutsu shrugged. "Um, I don't know. How's things been going I guess." She looked off to the side. She hadn't seen Tenma for years and was kinda nervous when around him.

"They've gone relativly bad. I look like a resserected corpse from hell, everyone seems to ignore me, bad things happen past sunset to me," he paused, feeling the tension Jm was exerting. "and one more thing. People who I am closest to, kinds make me feel....nervous" Nervous was a word Tenma had only said once. He knew the consequences of being nervous - pain. "I realize your releasing tension when your around me, which is why Im...nervous. But why?"

JM shrugged. "Well, it's just that I haven't seen you in forever, and now you just appear out of nowhere after all these years..." She blinked and walked into the kitche pulling out the dumplings and laying them on the cabniet. "I've really missed you." I think you already know that though...

Tenma frowned, his brow furrowed a bit. "Do you want to know the truth? About everything that happened? About my past year? About why I cant be out past sunset?"

"Um, if you wanna tell me then that's fine, if not then don't."

I would prefer if you answered me yes or no.

"Um, sure, I guess," she answered turning to the side.

Tenma looked out the window. "Well, when I was dead, I was rejected from heaven... God thought I was just an outcast... and so, we fought...and He won. So I begged him to just leave me on Earth to stay, or send me the Satan. He didnt trust me with Satan, so he sent me back to Earth. And if Im out past sunset, everyone in a mile radius will be sent to Satan, to rot forever. All I want to do is die..."

Jutsu almsot burst into tears. "That's a handful Tenma..." She looked at the sky.

Tenma looked at his chakra arm, pretending that he was interested in it. "And Im only suffering. Alas something good will come from this. I was allowed to bet. If I last ten more days, I may choose what I am reincarnated into whatever I want."



(Whens the time warp and How many years will it be?)

(4 yaers)

Jutsu held back a sigh. "Well, for the sake of everyone. please last Tenma, please."
