A/N: First Chapter of the sequel to The Ninja Life of Kichino Sarafu! The first story was already typed, but now I have to actually type it down, so it may take longer than the previous one. Enjoy! R&R, por favor!

Chapter: Open Eyes

The light was clear and cutting, as the darkness parted to reveal an adobe ceiling. My mind was still in a dreamy state and didn't like being pulled back to the real world. I sat up and felt the covers on my bed fall down.

"Misa, are you alright? How do you feel?"

The voice cut into my brain which finally surrendered to this world. I recognized the area. I was in my room. My mom, younger brother, and younger sister were looking at me. Dad wasn't here, so he must've had an urgent mission. Or didn't care. However, at the foot of my bed was a young boy, about my age, who I didn't recognize, but he stood with an air of authority about him. And on my lap was. . .

"EWWWWWW!!!" I screamed and flung my sheets up so the dead parrot flew off of me and landed with a light thud on the floor. "WHAT'S A DEAD BIRD DOING ON ME?!"

That wasn't very nice you know. I don't appreciate you flinging my previous body around like that.

"What?! Who are you?! Where are you?" I looked around frantically. Everyone was looking at me like I was nuts, but I didn't recognize the voice, and it was feminine so it definitely didn't belong to the boy. Was it the bird possibly?!

No, you imbecile. I'm inside your head. My name is Sarafu, by the way. I'll be taking residence inside your body for the time being until I can find my own.

"It's ok, Mrs. Kyatake," the boy said calmly, as he picked up the dead parrot. "She's not crazy. It's just the after-affects of the ceremony. Her soul is confused. I did pull it out of limbo, after all, it will take a while for her to recognize and remember."

Nice one, Gaara. Don't want to freak the parentals out after all.

"Thank you, Kazekage-sama," my other bowed politely.

Kazekage?! This boy was the Kazekage?! I heard he was young, but wow!

"I think its best if we let her rest some more, and calm herself. She did almost die after all."

Actually, you did die, but we pulled you back. And I was even so nice as to get rid of that virus for you. I saved your life, I think I deserve vacany in your body for a while.

"Wha-" I spoke, but the voice in my head stopped me. My parents looked at me curiously.

No! When you're addressing me, speak in your mind, not with your mouth. If you talk out loud, people are gonna think you're a nut-job.

I swallowed, and tried to think the words in my head. 'I'm not a nut-job? I suddenly created a voice in my head'

"Now let's be off, then, Mrs. Kyatake," the Kazekage ordered my mother, opening the door for her. "I'll come back later to check up on her. And I'm sure you'd like an explanation as to my sudden appearance."

My mother nodded and my family followed out to see what the news was.

No, you're not a nut-job. I'm a whole new person and I'm very real. As I said before, my name is Sarafu. Kichino Sarafu. I'm the Sorakage of Sora, the Sky village, which doesn't really exist anymore since Akatsuki destroyed it.

'Wait-huh? Sora? There is no Sora! Who's Akatsuki? What are you talking about?!'

The voice sighed. This is going to take a lot of explaining.

She filled me in on her life's story. It was actually quite interesting. She had gone through so much in so little time. Her mother was dead, withered away in a half-dragon state, and her father was a raving lunatic by the name of Orochimaru. She used to be the next carrier of the Moon Dragon. It left her body when Sora was destroyed, taking her body, so her soul wandered the planes. She had been a spy in Konoha for the Gokage, a prodigy who died at the age of ten. However, she had unintentionally gained many friends there, and her best friend betrayed her to Akatsuki. After that, she had to leave Konoha to run her village. On the way, she met Ryu, a boy who had fallen madly in love with her, but she didn't feel the same way. In fact, this Sarafu person was madly in love with the Kazekage, as I could feel greatly. However, she was unsure of how he thought of her.

I'm sure he only thinks I'm a nuisance. I get so excited when I'm around him, that I tend not to think and often get into trouble.

"I'm not exactly sure how to comfort you on that," I spoke aloud. "I don't really know the Kazekage."

Speak in your mind please. I know no one is here right now, but it would be good practice, and best, in case of eavesdroppers if you don't open your mouth when speaking to me. We can use this to our advantage in the future.

'Adavantage in the future? What are you talking about?'

I'm not going to sugar-coat this. A war is erupting. Akatsuki is planning on turning Sound on the smaller villages, to expand their territory. And they also plan on turning Suna and Konoha against each other.

'What?! How?'

I'm not exactly sure. But I don't see anyway out of this. The only way I think we can defeat Akatsuki is to unite all of the ninja villages together, to finally defeat sound and Akatsuki. Misa, do you have any ninja background?

'Not really. My older brother is a ninja, and he trained me when I was little, but I always messed up. I was way too clumsy, so I decided to quit.'

How lame. You sound just liek Sakura, but at least she didn't quit. Well, I guess I'll have to train you.

'T-train me? But I just told you-'

Yes, I know, but I'm going to need your body, and we're going to get behind enemy lines. A lot. So I'll need you in tip-top shape.

I gulped. 'But I don't want any part of this! This doesn't involve me! I never gave you permission to come into my body!'

If it wasn't for me, you would've died. And then I would've taken over your body. Either way, I would've gotten your body, I just chose to let you live. Would you rather die?

I growled. This wasn't fair. Even if I was dying, I still would've liked to be asked first. Before our conversation coud continue further, the Kazekage and my family walked in to check on me. The young red-head walked to my side and leaned forward to get a good look at my face. Oh, Gaara! Sarafu's sudden giddiness was so strong it made even my heart flutter. I found myself blushing as he removed his face.

"She seems to be doing fine. This is a new practice, so I would like to ask if she may visit me every day, for a 'spiritual' check up, if you will. We're not exactly sure if forcefully putting the soul back in its body is healthy."

"Yes, I understand," my sweet little mother answered. She just seemed to be glad I was alive.

"Send her over to my office at whatever time best suits you," the Kazekage stated in an official manner, despite Sarafu's heart thumping happiness.

If she didn't stop drooling over him I wouldn't be able to keep from passing out. He bowed politely, and excused himself. My family then crowded around me asking what it was like to come back to life. Truthfully, I couldn't really remember ever dying at all. "Guys, I'm tired," I fibbed, aggrivated, and holding my head in my hands.

"Ah, sorry," my mom apologized, then shooed everyone else out of my room so I could sleep, and I needed a lot of sleep.
