Running through the towns markets after being spotted by her house mother, "Kayoko, come back
here this instant!" a smile creped across her copper lips, "Tomorrow?" She shouted to her now
infuriated mother, besides the fact that this teen was out in the market all alone, she was in an
orphanage. Her parents were killed while she was young, she was originally from Amegakure, but
somehow she was now in the Kirigakure. 'Now to find a way out of here.' She was determined to
leave this village nothing seemed right, she wanted to go back to her home village. Leaping to the top of
the wall she began to hear voices of the ninja below she sighed, knowing that her hard work was all
over she slide down the wall, "Gomen nasai." she crossed her arms and looked back at the wall
her house mother finally caught up with the villagers and her. "Kayoko, you have no idea." Kayoko
walked to the mother, "Gomen." She began walking home, the mother behind her "Kayoko, do you
know what today is?" looking out the corner of her eye with her copper arms crossed she shook her
head, "Monday, of course." An attitude tone escaped her lips, "Well it's been ten years since they
brought you here." She instantly turned "Does that mean I can leave?" the mother nodded, "Well
yeah, but you have to talk to the Mizukage" meaning she would have to wait and talk to her
tomorrow, "You think I can talk to her now?" she said not waiting for a reply and, was gone by the end
of her sentence.
"Well, I guess it would be natural that you would want to go back home to Amegakure." Kayoko
smiled, "Yes." She nodded, "You also have been trying to escape since you got here." Sitting in the
she awaited a final reply. "Yeah, I guess. I mean the village already has enough missing-nin." Kayoko
was overcome with excitement. "Thank you Mizukage." Leaving the room, her copper cheeks turned a
bright red, it almost was the same tint of her scarlet red hair. 'She's letting me leave, finally I can go
home and see my brother.' The girl rushed home quickly, "I'm home." the house was silent as she
walked in. "Hello? Is is anyone home?" she slowly walked to the living room "House mother?"
still no answer, "Hell-" "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYOKO!" she sat in her seat with a kunai in
her hand, and the other over her chest. "Gosh, you guys scared the hell out of me!"
After her party she helped wash the dishes "House mother?" she was curious, "Yes Kayoko?" she
looked at the girl she had raised the past ten years, "You think I'll find anything there?" she sat the last
dish on the towel, "Kayoko dear, you'll find everything in time." Smiling she hugged the mother. "I
hope you're right, I really do?" she walked up the stairs and sat on her bed, looking at the picture of her
lost family "I'll find you, Nagato." She traced the face of a figure, "I hope you'll accept me, your lost
little sister." he was always there for her, when she was in trouble Big brother Nagato was there for her.
Laying back on her pillow she thought of the last time she saw him.
[Flash back]
'Nagato, you think we'll be adopted into the same house together?' Kayoko asked her brother who was
Sitting next to her on the floor, 'I hope so.' She leaned her head against his shoulder, 'How about if we
Don't?' Nagato covered her mouth 'Shhh, don't ever say that.' With her mouth still covered she smiled,
'Nagato, I'm begin dead serious.' The little eight year old beside continued to talk, 'We'll then I'll give you
treasure when I find you.' Kayoko smiled 'Treasure?' Nagato nodded 'Yeah, treasure. The best treasure
ever!' with content pleasure to what he said she quieted down.
She continued to lay in her bed 'The best treasure ever!' rang through her head, she quickly sprang up
'I gotta go tonight! I gotta leave now!' she packed essentials and walked down the stairs "House
Mother I have to go tonight!" she walked into the living room, "Leaving so soon, here," she handed her
kit and a katana, "you deserve this, I hope you find what your looking for." Kayoko smiled "I will and
when I do I'll bring him back." The mother was taken back "Him?" she sat down "You want to leave for
a boy?" Kayoko shook her head "No like that. My older brother. He's my treasure." She place her hand on the mothers
leg "I love you, mother." The girl stood and started for the door "I love you Kayoko." She was soon out.
