~Kakashi's P.O.V~ You finally reached the Fire Country using the same way the Akatsuki used to get to Kia. You had been traveling the whole day and you finally reached the gate of your village. Konohagakure. The Hidden Leaf Village. You saw the huge gates in front of you. The guards recognized you and nodded their heads. You walked through the village and went straight to the hokage's building. Hokage: Kakashi.Your back sooner than expected. Any thing happen? Kakashi: I lost track of them in our fight. Hokage: Fight? You were discovered? I expected better from an ANBU like you. Kakashi: I know I'm usually the lazy type, but I have an important matter to discuss. Hokage: Hm? ~Hokage's P.O.V~ You: Important? 'Kakashi isn't the kind to get serious about a matter, even if he is an ANBU.' What is it? Kakashi: The place the Akatsuki member lead me to was an unusual place. For days I haven't seen any signs of ninja activity. I even heard them talking about how there were no such thing as ninjas in the place I went to. You:*shocked* 'No such thing as ninjas?' Kakashi: Then, they targeted someone. It was a girl, no younger then the cadets. It seems their leader wants her. You: Did you happen to find out who their leader was? Kakashi:*shakes head* But I could see why she's their target... You:........I'm waiting Kakashi. Kakashi: Huh? Oh! Well, when she was going home she was running with very slow speed. Her lugage was heavy, too. Then all of a sudden, she picked of speeds. Lots of it. She was faster then any ninja ever, even you. No offence there, Hokage-sama. You: None taken. 'Faster than a Kage?' She had some chakra?*shuffles paper* It seems there are ninjas there then. Kakashi:..... You:*looks up* Kakashi? What is it? Kakashi: Hokage-sama... She had a weak amount of chakra. Almost none at all. And if she had any.... You: What is it? Kakashi: *looks up with intense look* It's never been molded before. You:*shocked and drops pipe* What?! Ridiculous, Kakashi. No sign of molded chakra, yet she's faster than a Kage. Surely your eyes have decieved you or your getting worse at your job. Kakashi: Hokage-sama... Do you know what her name was? Hokage: What is it? Kakashi:...... You: Kakashi, I am not enjoying your unusual silence. Tell me the name or leave to get your next mission. Kakashi: Her name is.... Kia. You:*drops papers* As in.... Kakashi: Hai. ~Kakashi's P.O.V~ Both you and the Hokage knew what that meant. She had an impossible name. Hokage: Do you think that's going to happen, Kakashi? You: Hokage! It just might! Let me watch over her. It's for her safety. Hokage: No. You: What?! Hokage: *looks sternly at you* We do not know who she is. And unless she is not our mission that someone has given you, you have never met her. You: She is a mission. She was a part of the mission you gave me. The mission was to track down Akatsuki and find out their target. She was the target. So she is officialy apart of the mission. So there for, I have met her. Hokage: *sighs* Why do you want to protect her? Is it because you so not want another death? You: 'It's true. I have seen too many deaths. Sensei's, and my best friends' but...' It is my mission, sir. Hokage:*smiles* Very well. Hatake Kakashi, I will appoint you your new mission- No. I appoint you to continue with your former mission. Dismissed. You:*bows* Arigato, Hokage-sama. Hokage:*chuckles* Yes, yes. ~The Next Day At School~ You had just entered the class room. As usual since you were still a fourth grader you didn't have a locker. You had to hang all your belongings in the class room. You thought it was very stupid since your old school used to have lockers for every grade. You threw your coat on the top where all the hats were supposed to go, and you sat at your seat. Your cousin, Achi, sat beside you. He was the worst liar in the world. But everyone always believed him unless it was obvious, except you. Your sixth sence was the explaination. On your other side was his best friend. You didn't like the guy for two reasons. One: His breath stinks. Two: He always copies your answers. His name was Sashi. You: When will the stupid anthem go on? ???: You shouldn't always be like this, Kia. Standing behind you was a girl named Sakura. She was the only one that called you Kia. But she spelled it as 'Kie'. She wasn't your friend. To her there was no such thing as friends in her mind ever since her best friend betrayed her. You: And why do you care how I act? Sakura: I know, why do I care? You: Your the one who said you cared, not me. Sakura:... You: Can I ask you something? What shouldn't I always be like? Sakura:...Baka..... You: I know I am. Now answer my ques- Sashi: Hey! Get out of here! Sakura+You: Who are you talking to? Sashi: Sakura! I can't sit down. She's in front of my seat. Sakura: Weirdo.... Well see ya, Kia. You: Yeah. The national anthem started. Everyone got up except one girl. She was the quietest kid in the school. Her name was Kerona. She was also the shortest kid in class. She was another girl that didn't have any friends. The two of you were neighbors. You stood up and stared at the wall in front of you. You started thinking about the story you read yesterday. It was unusual. ~Flashback~ ~End of Flashback~ You: 'Neko, huh? Unusual name; Kitten. Maybe I should talk to her.' The national anthem was going on in the cowboy version. Another reason that you thought this school was stupid. They told us that the kids never took anything serious, when they made nothing serious. Anthem: *ending tune* Yahoo! Class-You+Kerona: Dot com! You: 'I'll never understand what's fun about that.' Everyone: *sits down* Class passed by and it was time for your morning break. The boy ran outside while the girls were taking their time talking in small groups as they walked. You on the other hand, were still in the classroom with Sakura and Kerona. Sakura was finishing a story and Kerona was coloring. You, well let's just say that you didn't sleep much last night. Teacher: You girls have to go outside. I need to get to a teachers meeting. Sakura: Yeah. I'm almost done. Kerona:*gets ready and has Sakura's stuff* You: *stirrs from sleep* Huh? What? Teacher: Were you asleep? You:*silently yawns* Well, I was trying to. Sakura: There. I'm done! You: *gets up* What're you done? Sakura: *hides paper* N-nothing! Kerona: She was writing a story. Just last year, when you moved, Kerona had started talking to you outside. After that you had got her to talk in front of atleast half the school when they were having their anual Agility Challenge. You just couldn't figure out when she started talking in front of the teacher. You: C'mon. Let me see. You know I'm gonna be the one who's editing it and then I'm the one who's gonna revise it and post it. Sakura:Yeah.. You're right. But I'll give it to you after school. You:*mutters* Meanie... You went to the rack and looked at where your coat was. You looked back at the teacher. When you were sure that she wouldn't be looking, you put your coat in your bag. You: 'Now I don't need to wear a coat. I mean it's not even cold.' Quite the contrary. It was actually 3 feet deep the snow. Last night, unexpectedly, it had started snowing. Every other person was wearing a coat, a scarf, and mittens. Teacher: Sakia, where's your coat? You: I didn't bring one. Teacher: You better bring one at lunch. It's freezing cold out there. You: I wasn't cold this morning.Sure, I'll bring one. *mutters* If I remember. Teacher: Hurry up, you three. I'm going to be late. *waiting at door* You walked outside and put on your black boots. You were sitting in the corner beside the computer lab, waiting for the other two. Sakura: Hey, Kia! Get up. You: Huh? Oh... Yeah. *gets up and starts walking with other three* Sakura: I can't believe you fell asleep in class. I mean aren't you the smartest kid in class. You: Nope. That would be Gane and Gaji. Gane and Gaji. Gane was in your class last year and this was the second year. He was called the smartest and you'd usually tie with him. Gaji, it was his first year at this school. Yeah.. Last year you had met him in Pae classes. It was an optional class that happened after school. No one knew what the name of that language even meant. So they had no idea what language they were learning. He seemed to be the goofy person in class but this year in english school, he even beat Gane. So technically, in your point of view, you were the stupidest person. Kerona: Really? I thought you said that Gaji was stupid. You: True, I did say that. But then that means I'm stupider.*sticks out tongue in cute manner* Kerona: Hey, how come you always talk and smile at school but at your house your always quiet and not even uhhh.... Sakura: You mean she's always emotionless? Kerona: Yeah!...I knew that.... Sakura: Sure you did.... You: So, you're saying that I'm the opposite of you? Kerona: Really? Oh yeah... You're right. You: I hate it when people agree with me! Sakura: What the? When did we get outside? You: I guess we're turning into girlie girls, huh? I mean we were talking in a group and we were talking the whole way. 'Though that's not exactly how allgirlie-girls are.' Kerona: But when did we get downstairs? You:*stares* Weird.... 'Really weird.' You felt a snow ball in your face. You turned around and saw another boy. Sunny. You: *wipes snow and pulls left bangs in front* 'Yo! I forgot all about putting my hair in front.' Kerona+Sakura: It was Sunny. You: Kinda got that much. *looks at Sunny* Sunny: Star Wars, episode 3: Revenge of Evil Grey Eyes. Dun dun dun dun... You: *sigh* 3...2...1...*glares* Go! Sunny: AHHHHHHHH!!! You ran after Sunny chasing him around the feild. He was wearing all his winter accesories. You caught him by his hood but he spun around and you had to let go. You: Damn it! Brandon: He went that way! *points between the portrables* You: *runs* 'Heh. Guess his friends are even turning on him.' Sunny: What the-?! *runs faster* You: 'Stupid snow! It's too deep! Why won't it go AWAY!' *runs way faster* Sunny: How the hell? You had caught up to him and pulled on his back collar. He tried jerking forward but you held your ground. He thought quickly and turned with no warning. Your foot being stuck in the snow, your body twisted on your ankle. You felt nothing at first but soon after you felt a little throbbing. You: 'What the hell happened? I feel as if I hurt myself. Kind of like that dream I had yesterday.' You got up and started walking for the entry door. The bell was about to ring so you decided to go in anyway. You felt a surge go through your foot but couldn't place what it was. You: 'I wonder if something happened to my bone?' *takes off boots and winces* 'shoot.'
