Flames Of Recollection

Chapter 1

" Does anyone recognise her? " Kakashi spoke softly as the room of Jonin shook they're heads.

" None in the village have seen her before. All we know about her is her name. Akiya Ryoko. " Tsunade spoke softly as Kakashi looked at her.

" Ryoko? Wasn't that clan annihilated in the shinobi war? " Kakashi seemed surprised.

" I thought so to but here we are. A member of the Ryoko clan here and breathing. She seems to have no memory other than her name. The seal on her chest is troubling. " Tsunade sounded concerned and whispers echoed the room as she mentioned a seal.

" Seal? Like Naruto's? " Kakashi sounded concerned.

" It appears to be the same type of seal. A demon seal. We must watch her carefully...which is why I'm putting her in your care Kakashi. Make sure she is trained and does not fall prey to desire or tempta..." As Tsunade finished speaking, Sakura burst into the room.

" Lady Hokage...she has awoken...we cant calm her down..." Sakura appeared distressed and a moderate bruise glistened on her cheek.

Kakashi turned and walked towards the door. " Ill handle it. "

Tsunade stood quickly and walked towards the door. " No. I will see her calm. Kakashi find her somewhere to stay and see that her training regime is prepared. Ill send for you when she has calmed. " Tsunade's voice was gentle as Kakashi nodded and disappeared.

Tsunade walked swiftly towards Akiya's room and as she turned down the hallway, A ball of darkness flew out of the door and smashed through the adjacent wall. " Its true then...the Ryoko clan did study Shadow Jutsu... This might be tricky. " Tsunade thought to herself as she quickly entered the room.

" STAY AWAY FROM ME! " Another ball of black chakra flew past Tsunade as one of the nurses tried to tackle the girl. " Don't touch me! " The girl vanished and a chair appeared in her place before dispersing in a burst of shadows.

" ENOUGH! " Tsunade slammed her foot into the floor causing the floor beneath Akiya to shatter. After a few moments of dust and broken flooring, Tsunade peered into the hole where Akiya fell. " Calm yourself. We are not trying to h..." As Tsunade spoke, a third ball of darkness flew towards her followed by a high pitch scream from below. Tsunade quickly dodged before realising where the scream came from.

Akiya had fallen to her knees and was holding her head tightly. " What is happening to me?! Where am i?! "

Tsunade dropped into the hole and knelt beside Akiya. As Akiya looked up at her, Akiya's eyes flashed into blue cat like eyes for a moment. Tsunade's face flashed a look of horror for a moment before helping Akiya to her feet. " We will find out but i need you to stay calm. We don't want to hurt you. We just want to help. You are in the Hidden Leaf Village. My name is Tsunade. I'm the Hokage here. "

Akiya looked at Tsunade calmly before passing out again. Tsunade sighed heavily as she spoke softly. " Your going to be a difficult one...like that Naruto..."

Later

After several hours sleep, Akiya awoke in what appeared to be a medical room. Sakura was standing over her using healing chakra on her cuts and bruises from falling through the floor.

As Akiya's eyes opened, Sakura stepped back quickly. " I wont be caught by surprise again. If you attack i will defend myself! " Sakura was almost intense in her statement. Akiya looked at Sakura slowly. As she tried to speak, Her voice was almost the softest whisper. " I...I'm sorry.." Again, Akiya passed out.

Sakura relaxed slowly as she went back to healing. " What did she do to become this exhausted..." After a few minutes, Tsunade entered. " How is she doing? " Sakura spoke softly. " She awoke for a moment but passed out again. She is recovering but for some reason she is exhausted beyond anything i have seen before. She seems drained. In both body and chakra. I'm not sure i can do anything to help other than heal her cuts and bruises. "

Tsunade sighed softly. " When your work is finished bring her to my room. I will do what i can. " Sakura nodded slightly as Tsunade left. After an hour, Sakura left to get some food.

Meanwhile

" Is it true Iruka? Some weirdo showed up and caused trouble at the hospital? " Naruto spoke plainly through a mouthful of Ichiraku ramen.

Iruka tapped Naruto's head condescendingly. " Don't talk with your mouth full. And yes. A girl showed up. We don't know much about her. "

Naruto stopped for a moment and looked at Iruka. " You know if she is pretty right? " As he finished speaking, a strong punch hit the back of Naruto's head.

" NARUTO! Is that all you think about?! " Sakura sounded quite upset.

" Not ALL. Just some. " Naruto turned back to Iruka. " But she is pretty right? "

" NARUTO! " Sakura hit him again.

" Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow! Stop it Sakura! " Naruto rubbed his head gently as a bump started to form.

" Then don't think of girls like that! Its rude! " Sakura stormed out and back towards the hospital.

" Why do you always irritate her Naruto? Is it a hidden talent of yours or do you not realize she gets upset with you. " Iruka spoke plainly but gently as always. Naruto was busy eating and turned to Iruka slowly. " Huh? "

Iruka shook his head slowly as Naruto nearly inhaled the ramen. " Another bowl old man! I'm extra hungry today! "

Nightfall

Sakura burst into Tsunade's room sweating and panting heavily. " Lady Tsunade! She is gone! "

Tsunade ran out of the room and to the hospital. As she entered Akiya's room, The nurse next to the bed spoke softly. " I brought her dinner in and the bed was empty. We don't know how she got out but no one saw her leave..."

Tsunade was about to speak as a small explosion sounded through the air. " That came from the academy! Sakura get Kakashi and meet me there! Hurry! " Sakura nodded and ran off to find Kakashi. When the two of them arrived, Akiya was standing in the courtyard of the academy with her head against the wall and tears streaming down her face.

" Why...WHY CANT I REMEMBER! " A ball of darkness fired out of her palm and hit the wall behind her causing another small explosion. Akiya fell to her knees and placed her hands over her face as she broke down into tears. Sakura walked slowly to her side and held her gently as Tsunade arrived." What happened? "

Kakashi spoke softly. " Don't know. We just arrived ourselves and she seemed distraught. It appears she is upset about the loss of her memories. "

Tsunade walked over and knelt next to Sakura and Akiya. " Akiya...what happened...why did you come here? " Akiya managed to stop crying for a moment as she looked up.

" I cant remember...I don't know why i cant but i just cant remember..." Again she broke down into tears as Sakura held her.

Tsunade stood and turned to Kakashi. " Bring me everything we have on Genjutsu. This may be some sort of mind altering technique. "

Kakashi huffed softly. " Or someone hit her with something heavy. " Tsunade shrugged and started walking back to her room. Kakashi looked to Sakura." I leave her with you for tonight. Bring her to Hokage in the morning. " Sakura nodded as Kakashi disappeared.

After helping Akiya to her feet, Sakura spoke softly. " You will stay with me tonight. Tomorrow Hokage will help you. " Akiya nodded slightly as tears continued to fall down her cheeks. Sakura led Akiya to her house for the night.

There we have it! Chapter 1.

This story is based upon the Naruto world but that DOES NOT mean it will follow it exactly.

Which is why it is labelled a fantasy.
