The end of one road, and the start of another.

I walked around town, and I spotted Satomi and Kyo. I jumped up to a roof and watched them. 'My body starting to go numb...I guess I only have about another hour or two left.' I lite up a cigarette. Satomi spotted me.

"Talos... if that's you, stop being a coward! Come and fight us like the person you've become!"

I hopped down and walked towards them. My body was slowly stopping.

"Fight us, then! Isn't that why you've.....you..."

I pulled out a kunai. 'I have to keep moving' I stabbed it into my right shoulder. The pain was enough to help me to keep moving.

"What are you doing?" She moved towards me.

"I'm returning a favor." I turned and started running. "Don't come near me, it isn't safe!"

"When did I care about if it was safe!"

"Stay away!" I headed towards the forest outside the gates. Satomi followed me.

I jumped from branch to branch until I realized my eye sight was going out. I slipped on a branch and fell to the ground. She began trying to heal me.

"What have you done to yourself?"

"What had to be done...." My whole body was on fire and going numb.

"I'm sorry Satomi, but I can't go on anymore." She started to cry.

"Satomi you're still young, go and find happiness. Live a life that we can both be proud....Do me one favor, tell everyone I'm sorry." My body was shutting down.

"Talos, we already have."

"Goodbye Satomi..." I didn't want her to see me go but I just couldn't fight it anymore. 'I guess I'm going to join my parents on the other side.'

"I'll see you on the other side one day Sato....."

-Miruko-

I was walking back from collecting some herbs in the woods. I came across a girl and guy laying in the woods. I didn't think anything about it until I walked up and realized he had a deep wound to his shoulder. I ran up to them. I touched the girl on her shoulder and realized she was just passed out. I then check on the guy.

"What a shame, so young."

The young man was dead. I formed hand-signs and used shadow clone jutsu to make a clone. I picked up the girl and my clone picked the guy. I carried them both to the hospital. I put the girl in a room, and took the guy to the morgue.

I performed an autopsy on the guy.

"He was eat up with cancer...I could have prolonged his life a little longer, if he would have only come to me. Oh well nothing I can do now but report it to Naruto.

I first checked on the girl. She was still out cold. I had a feeling I would be seeing more of her in the near future.

I walked on to the Hokage's mansion. I got there only to find out he was at home. I walked to his apartment, and knocked on the door.

I was greeted by Sasuke, which was odd but I didn't question it.

"Hello Sasuke, I have some news to report to you and Naruto."

He nodded and let me in. Naruto was sitting on the couch.

"What you need?" Naruto asked me.

"I'm just here to report that I have a Daedalus Jackson in my morgue."

He looked shocked. "What happened?"

"I performed an autopsy and I found he had cancer, and that's what killed him."

Naruto just nodded. "I'll have to let the others know, but thanks for reporting it to me."

I nodded and headed back to the hospital. It has been an interesting day so far.
