Konoha Princess
There once lived a girl named Hamawari Yamamoto. She was one of the grand daughters of the late third Hokage and lived with Tsunade. She was known as the princess of Konoha. She did not like to fight but knew it was her duty to support those around her. She feared for her life though, because she knew that with each mission she went on, each of those around her lives had gotten worse.
"Miss Yamamoto. You're supposed to meet the team leader of your next mission soon. He'll be escorting your group." Mimi explained, laying down Hamawaris' outfit for the day.
"Thanks you Mimi, I'll be there in a moment. But please don't just me miss. Alright?" Hamawari asked.
"Alright... Hamawari. Tsunade is expecting you down there soon though." Mimi said, emphasizing the word soon, in her sentence.
Mimi had been a family friend of hers who traveled from her home with her to Konoha. Just recently she had been acting weird though. She had started calling her Miss Yamamoto. Nobody every called her that except her elders, most of the people from Konoha just called her 'that girl'.
She got into her mission clothes and walked out of her room, and made sure that no one was in the hallway before she walked quietly towards the kitchens. Once there, she saw all the little kittens she had been feeding these past weeks, and began to pet them. After a while a group of children began coming inside and gathering around her.
"Hello Wari. You've come to see us again?" One of the little girls asked.
"Of course. I wouldn't ever forget about you. Anyway look, I've brought food for the day." Hamawari grinned and grabbed some of the food she had stored in her pouch, and handed it to the children.
"Thank you Lady Hamawari." One of the boys said.
"I love bringing you kids food. Makes me feel all sneaky like. Troubles my middle name if you didn't already know that!" She laughed and winked at them while they stared up giddily at her.
"I'm sorry Tsunade-sama. Mimi said Hamawari was on her way." Shizune tried to explain.
"It's alright. As long she gets her; though it doesn't matter because Shikamaru hasn't even arrived yet. I'm afraid he fell asleep on his way here." Tsunade said jokingly.
"Shikamaru, why are you going around the back?" Ino asked him.
"I just feel like it. It just feels like I'll see something important." Shikamaru shrugged and opened the door. "I'll be right back out."
He walked inside the building and noticed that the hallways were oddly deserted. He began to walk and could only hear his own footsteps which had calmed him down considerably. He began to look around when he heard laughter from behind two big brown doors. He looked through the windows and saw a beautiful girl with the most perfect hazel brown hair he had ever seen. She was talking to the little kids. Compared to them, she looked like a princess from the movies. He began to listen to their conversations.
"Hello Hamawari. You've come to visit us again?" A little girl asked. Shikamaru was surprised to find out that this princess was the girl who he was to take back to her home.
"Of course. I wouldn't ever forget about you. Anyway look, I've brought food for the day." She grinned before reaching into her side pouch and taking out some food, handing it to the kids.
"Thank you Lady Hamawari." A boy said.
"I love bringing you kids food. Makes me feel all sneaky like. Troubles my middle name if you didn't already know that!" She laughed. That laugh was magical, it was a laugh that lit up a whole room in warmness, wrapping itself around you.
"How come you live here in Konoha, and not with your real family?" One of the younger kids asked.
"Because if I didn't come here, who would feed the kittens and you?" She asked them, she picked up one of the kids from the floor.
"I think we would be okay Lady. We're stronger now. Besides, if I had a family, I would run to them." One of the older kids said, fiddling with her shoe laces.
Shikamaru saw Hamawaris' ear twitch and she turned towards the door. "I don't take kindly to trespassers sir. So I will kindly let you leave and meet my grandmother. Tell her I will be with her in a moment." The princess said, standing up going towards the door. But by the time she opened it up, no one was there.
About twenty minutes later, Hamawari stepped through the door of the meeting room and sat across from Shikamaru. "Hamawari, so nice of you to finally join us." Tsunade said, staring at Hamawari between her cupped palms.
"My pleasure." Hamawari said sarcastically, slouching back in her seat.
"Alright, now Shikamaru; I would like you to meet Hamawari Yamamoto." Tsunade introduced the two.
"We've had the slight pleasure of briefly meeting already." Hamawari said, looking at Shikamaru with a look that could kill.
"Now, I'm not sure if you were aware Hamwari... but you will be assisting Shikamaru on his mission." Tsunade began oddly.
"And what type of mission is this?" Hamawari asked.
Shikamaru watched her, "Doesn't she know?"
"Don't I know what?"
"Hamawari, Shikamaru will be esco- he will be taking you back to your home... in the mountains." Tsunade explained.
"What!" Hamawari yelled, standing up in her chair. "You know that I never wanted to go back there! You know they don't want me there anymore! I refuse!"
"You will not refuse! You will go back to your own village and they will welcome you with open arms," Tsunade exclaimed, "is that understood?"
"But Tsunade-"
"There will be no questions, you will go!" Tsunade commanded her. She turned towards Shikamaru and instantly had a calm face again, "Are you alright with this Shikamaru."
"Yes Tsunade-sama." Shikamaru said.
"Well, not that this is settled. She'll meet you in front of the Konoha gates at 12:00 pm sharp." Tsunade grinned and left the room, leaving the two teenagers to their own devices.
"I refuse to go along quietly, I hope you know that." Hamawari scowled.
"Who says I'm the only person on my team that has to watch you?" Shikamaru smirked before leaving a confused Hamawari behind her.
First chapters is now revamped!
My writing has improved quite a bit, though you won't be able to see it in this chapter. I'm trying to stay close to the first three chapters story line and then going somewhere else with it.
Ja Ne!
