Rena Ketsu :Her Beginning (NarutoWattyAwards 2nd Place 2016!!!!)

Rena Your The Shadow Reaper?!?!?!?

Rena's POV

I woke up with a huge headache. I looked at my right to see Sasuke and Sakura sitting there asleep, I turned my head to see Naruto asleep as well. I looked down at my clothes to see I'm still in my black outfit and that my scythe was leaning against the wall. I thought over the events that happened and sighed. "What was thinking. I shouldn't have told them too soon. What do they think of me now? Either way I have to go. They know too much of me now." I thought. I got up forgetting about the pain and walked over to my scythe and my backpack. I grabbed both of them and walked out of the house. Before I left I walked to the roof, sat there, and decided to sing a song.

"Ever since I could remember,
Everything inside of me,
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
I was never one for pretenders,
Everything I tried to be,
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh)

If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.

Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)

If I told you what I was,
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous,
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because,
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
That this problem lies in me

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger.

I'm only a man with a candle to guide me,
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me.
A monster, a monster,
I've turned into a monster,
A monster, a monster,
And it keeps getting stronger."

I finished the song and looked around. I felt something wet running down my face. I was crying? I felt someone hug me from behind. I turned my head to see Kakashi. He looked at me and said," Your not a monster. You can let it all out I'm here for you."

With those words I broke down crying like a five year old. I held onto his vest and cried as he rubbed my back. When I was done he looked at me and said," So, your the famous shadow reaper, huh."

I looked at him and nodded. "Y-yeah."

"Why didn't you tell us?" He asked me.

"You guys never asked." I told him. "Anyways what happened to Zabuza and Haku?"

"They left... They said thanks for saving their lives." He looked down at the bag and scythe. "Were you planning on leaving Rena?"

"I have to." I told him.

He hugged me harder and said," You don't have to. You have Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, The Third Hokage, and me back at the leaf village."

I sighed and said," I can't let you guys risk your village safety for me. People with start to figure out my secret identity. They will be after be me."

"We'll protect you. You belong with us."

"Hey you guys can come out now." I yelled. After I yelled Sakura, Sasuke, and Narto came out of their hiding places. I continued," I guess I'll stay at your village for a while."

Sakura smiled, Sasuke 'hn'ed, Naruto grinned, and Kakashi just pulled me closer to him. I felt his breath on me and my face turned red.

"Umm, Kakashi can you let go of me now??" I asked him.

He looked confuse for a minute than looked down to see how close we were to each other. He quickly let go and fake coughed. He mumbled an apology and I forgave him. I looked at the others and they all had smirks on their faces, mostly Sakura.

Kakashi cleared his throat to get their attention and said," Umm, Rena mind explaining to us why you became the shadow reaper."

I sighed and said," Sure, so you know about my past." They nodded their head and I continued," Well, by day I became Rena Ketsu a traveler, but by night I was the famous S-rank ninja The Shadow Reaper. I lived a double life because if people knew I was the shadow reaper they would try and bring me back to those people." They were about to ask what I meant by those but I cut them off. "By those people I mean my people in my old village. Apparently after 1 year of banishing me they need me back for something. So if they learned how powerful I became they would want to have me back and become their stupid slave or something."

"Well, okay than, Rena we'll have to tell Lord Hokage about your other side though." I sighed and nodded at Kakashi.

"We should turn in for the night." I said. I was about to go in my room when Naruto grabbed my wrist and said," Ne, ne, Re-chan you were the one singing right?" I nodded my head.

"Can you sing a lullaby for us?" He asked.

"I don-"

"Come on please." He cut me off with his puppy eyes.

"Fine." I answered. They all sat around me and I sang the first song that popped into my head.

"As a child you would wait
And watch from far away.
But you always knew that you'd be the one that work while they all play

In youth, you'd lay awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change, but it was just a dream!

Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town.
From Dust.

Will come, when you'll have to rise
Above the best, improve yourself
Your spirit never dies
Farewell, I've gone, to take my throne
Above, don't weep for me
Cause this will be the labor of my love (my love)

Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From Dust.

Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From Dust." I laid my head on someone's shoulder and fell asleep.
