Whoever You Are…
Chapter I:
A New World
"W-where am I?"
"Who am I?"
"Why am I here?"
"I-I don't know. I can't remember anything."
"I must go somewhere. I cannot lie down here forever on the snow while there is a blizzard occurring."
The sixteen-year-old girl rose up and started walking, still thinking who she really was but all her efforts are in vain, for she cannot remember anything before she was there in the middle of a snowfield.
After many hours of walking, she felt that her strength is ebbing and blizzard is getting stronger. At last, she found a cave where she can rest for a while. Excited to go to her destination, the young lady drew all the strength that remains in her to walk faster before she became ice. Luckily, she reached the cave entrance before she passed out.
When she woke up, she heard the fire crackling so she perceived she wasn't alone inside the cave. When she turned around, she saw a strange creature – a Venus flytrap with feet and wears a dark cloak designed with little red clouds.
"Who are you?" the girl cautiously asked.
The creature looked at her. It seems that it looks like semi-human, only it has two sides — one side is white and the other half is black. The details of its face can only be seen on the white side.
"Hmmm…. So you are awake now and the blizzard has passed. I must take my leave now." It remarked then turned and walked away.
"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet!" the girl called back.
The creature turned and answered, "Just be thankful that you're not dead when I found you."
"And why should I? Perhaps I'll be thankful when I'm dead now!" the lass replied, still feeling sorry for herself because of her amnesia.
The semi-human creature looked at her as if it was saying: "You wouldn't say that thing if you really know who I am" then walked away.
The girl, feeling irritated because she has been ignored, followed the creature.
When the two reached a forested area, the creature finally said:
"Quit following me, will you?"
"No, not until I knew who you are."
"Why should I tell you my name?"
"It's none of your business."
"Then my name is none of your business too."
Before the girl could answer, she felt that something is wrong so she pushed the creature aside.
"Why did you—"but before the creature could finish its sentence, suddenly a huge volley of kunai came out of nowhere and its deadly points will fall exactly on the girl. When the girl closed her eyes, accepting her fate, the volley of kunai diverged and just hit the ground, leaving none of them injured.
"How did you do that?" the creature asked.
"Huh, you didn't do anything?" the girl innocently queried.
"Yes, actually it caught me off guard. Now, answer my question. How did you do that?"
"I don't know. I just did." The girl replied.
The creature smirked then said, "My name's Zetsu."
"Zetsu-san?" the girl asked.
"Yes." Zetsu confirmed.
"My, at last, you told me your name! Why does have to take it so long? Oh well, now I have known what I want to know, I will not bug you anymore. Nice meeting you Zetsu-san." The girl waved and started to walk away.
"Wait."
"Huh, is there anything wrong?" The girl queried.
"Are you going back to your house?" Zetsu asked.
"Well, no. Actually I do not know anything about my past—I don't even know my name" the girl declared sadly, "Hmmm… maybe that's my first assignment: to know who am I."
"If it's alright with you, maybe you can follow me and meet my comrades."
"Huh, that's strange. Uh, I mean, that's very nice of you Zetsu-san. Let's go now." The lass excitingly replied.
Zetsu smiled again and said, "Okay then, follow me."
After several hours of walking, they reached a large cavern. Zetsu asked the girl if she can remain outside for a few minutes while he's going to enter the cave and the girl agreed.
"So you're back, Zetsu."
"Yes, leader-sama." Zetsu replied, "And someone whom I think can be a useful person in the organization."
"Oh, you mean the girl outside the hideout."
"Yes leader-sama."
"I don't think she's neither a ninja nor someone who can throw a single kunai. How did you think that she's useful?"
"I have seen her potentials, even though she needs a lot of training to make her useful."
"If you really think she is useful, then train her."
The girl's POV.
Hmm, I wonder what Zetsu-sama is doing inside. It's been more than five minutes since he left me here.
"So, you've still waited." A voice came in behind me, it was Zetsu-san, "May I ask you a question?"
"Sure Zetsu-san, what is it" I replied kinda curious on what he has to ask
"You have said earlier that you want to know who you really are, right?"
"Uh, yes."
"I believe that your journey will be dangerous, and I don't think you can really fend yourself."
"Hey, that's not nice Zetsu-san!" I shouted, somewhat offended
"How can you survive, can you do any simple hand seals, can you throw a kunai or a shuriken?"
"No, but the only thing I have now is luck, and I am going to use it." I answered without really thinking what it means.
"Idiot, that is not that simple. Luck may fail you."
Honestly, what he said is right. That is not that simple.
"So, what do you want me to do now?"
"Let me train you."
"Hmm, what's the catch?" I queried.
"The condition is to help me first at my job and forget finding about your past for the meantime."
I was shocked at what he said. But, do I have any choice? I don't know anyone who can train me but Zetsu-san offers to train me. Only he has a condition, but I must choose.
"Okay, Zetsu-san, I'll abide with your rules."
"Good, then let's get started."
A/N: As you have noticed, this story doesn't have an intro. Well, because I don't know what kind prologue should I write :) Also, there are many things I will invent in this story. Just for your info.
