A/N :This story is from RosieRina. She has decided to go on a indefinite hiatus so she asked me to rewrite and post her story, The Beautiful Flower, Hana. This is a one time deal for me, I told her I would only write one of her stories now and possibly the other one later.
This is a beautiful story and plot thought out wonderfully, I hope you enjoy what she couldn't write to you all personally. With all my love, to RosieRina.
Hana sat unmoving on bench. Several people gawked at the young girl as they walked past her.
"Is she a street performer?,"
"Is it a doll?,"
"She's so cute!,"
Hana had smooth, creamy pale skin, that resembled that of a doll. Her eyes were a light blue with a mixed of silver, they nearly glowed. Hana's lips were pink, She had long dark hair with a blue flower clip on the side of her head. She wore a long-knee length black dress the collar covering her neck and black shoes.
"Here," She looked up at Kakashi who had given her a large bottle of water. "Thank you very much," She said politely and took the bottle, opening the top she took a sip. "Now then, What's all these rumors going around about you and lord Hokage," He took a seat on the bench next to her.
"So you've heard already?,"
He chuckled. "Word travel's fast around here,"
"…Well, yes, he was a close friend of my mother,"
"I see, so why have you come to The Hidden Leaf Village?,"
"…I have someone to protect," She stated. "I see, well, I won't ask you anymore questions,"
Hana walked down the hall and opened a door to a class room, as she walked in several others around began to whisper and look at her. She looked around to find some seats already full. Hana looked around again and her eyes landed on blonde boy sitting in a desk with an empty seat next to him. Hana stood next to him. "Excuse me…," He looked up and he flushed. "May I sit next to you,"
"Un…Su-sure," He stood up and out of the desk. Hana slide in and sat in the middle. "Thank you very much," She said. He sat back down and looked at her. 'Wow, she's so pretty,'
Another girl with long curly white hair glared at Hana's head. 'She's here!? How could they let someone like her even live in a place like this?,'
"So uh…I've never seen to here before, are you new?," She turned to the blonde. "I just moved here yesterday," She said. "Really? Uh…What's your name?,"
"My name is Hana, Hana Setsumi,"
"Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki," He smiled at her.
"It's nice to meet you Naruto," The door opened and Naruto turned to Sakura and Ino panting and arguing when they came in the room. 'Sakuraaa, Oh, she's looking at me, I think she likes me in this head band,' He hurried over and Naruto stood up. "Good Morning Saku-Ah!,"
"Move it, Naruto!," She pushed him aside. "Oh, there's someone already sitting next to Sasuke," Hana turned to the girl. Sakura blushed and as the girl looked up at her. 'She's beautiful,'
"Would you like to sit here?."
"Um…Oh Sure,"
"How come you get so sit next to Sasuke?!," Ino said. "Actually, I got here before any of you so I get to sit next to Sasuke," The girls began to bicker. "I don't understand, why do you lot bicker over something as trivial as a seat?," Hana spoke up. They turned to Hana and glared. "What do you know about it, your absolutely clueless," A girl said to. "Na-Naruto?! Stop glaring at Sasuke," Sakura shouted. Hana turned to see Naruto leaned over on the desk and staring straight into Sasuke's eyes. "Naruto, if you keep doing an accident is likely to occur," Someone in front of Naruto hit Naruto with his elbow and Naruto fell over, his lips locking with Sasuke's. Hana wrinkled her nose a bit and made a face as the two boys spat and held their throats.
"Naruto! Your dead," Sakura said.
Iruka read through the list. Announcing the three man squads. He hadn't called Hana's name at all. 'Why would the Hokage send me here if I wasn't going to join a team,"
"After lunch you're Jounin will come and retrieve you from the class room, class dismissed," Hana stood up and walked out of the classroom. She touched her stomach. 'It seems I forgot to eat again' She walked down the hall and saw a woman selling Onigiri.
Sasuke leaned against an open window and ate his lunch. His caught a girl walking along some roofs and she sat down on the building across from him. 'Isn't she that girl that sat next to me today?'
"I don't understand, why do you lot bicker over something as trivial as a seat?," The scene replayed in his head. "I haven't seen her at the academy before," Suddenly Naruto leaped up him from the window.
Hana watched Sasuke quickly escape from window. Hana stood up and leaped over to the building, she pushed the window open and saw Sasuke tied up with his mouth taped. "It seem Naruto has a plan under way," She leaned down and took the tape off Sasuke's mouth. "Naruto! He's dead," Hana turned Sasuke around and began untying the ropes. "…If you two keep going after each other, you'll most likely end up kissing each other again," Sasuke blushed and groaned. "Who are you?,"
"My name is Hana Setsumi, apparently I'll be introducing myself a lot here," She said. Her voice was monotone. Sasuke watched her walk out of the room.
Hana entered the halls of the academy, lunch was almost over and she still hadn't found out who her Jounin was or what group she was in. Hana felt someone shove her as they came out of the bathroom. A girl with white curly hair and purple eyes glared at her. "Watch where your going, ghost girl," She said and her friends snickered. Hana watched the girl walk away with her friends and turned to see Sasuke walking behind her. Just then Naruto came from the bathroom. Hana knew where this was going and she walked away to the classroom.
The classroom was getting empty as Jounin came and got the trainees. The only ones left were Hana, Sasuke, Sakura and, Naruto. "Say, Hana why weren't you assigned to a squad?," Naruto asked as he was crouched on the floor. She turned from the window and walked in front of him. "Your liable to get stepped on that way Naruto," She stated and he chuckled nervously. "I think it's the Hokage's doing," She said. Naruto gave her look and suddenly took up and let out a groan. "Where is our teacher? He's taking so long! Everyone else left already," He said.
"Naruto, you have no patience," Hana said to him. "Come on Hana, Don't tell me you aren't tired of waiting for him,"
"What are you doing Naruto?," Sakura shouted. Naruto stood on a stool and opened the door a bit and stuffed an eraser in the crack.
"Hmp, A highly-skilled Jounin isn't going to fall for such a cheap trick,"
"Yeah, Sasuke's right Naruto," A hand grabbed the door and Kakashi stuck his head inside, the eraser fell when he opened the door.
"Haha Gotcha!," Naruto pointed and laughed. 'I knew it, this is the Hokage's doing,'
"I'm sorry Sensei, I tried to get him to stop but he didn't listen," Sakura said. "Well, let's see, from my first impression, I don't like you," Hana looked up at Kakashi. "Well, well it seems like he entrusted you to me," Kakashi said. "…Or you two planned this,"
Kakashi just looked at her. "That's what I thought,"
"Okay, why don't you introduce yourselves," Kakashi said.
"Introduce ourselves? Well, what are we supposed to say?," Kakashi shrugged. "Your name, things you like and dislike, hobbies, your dreams for the future, things like that,"
"Why don't you tell us stuff first, so we know how it's supposed to work,"
"Me? I'm Kakashi Hatake, things I like and things I hate…Hm, I don't really fell like tell you that, my dreams of the future, I never really thought about, and my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies,"
Sakura and Naruto looked at each other. "That was pointless, the only thing he really told us was his name," Sakura said.
He turned to Hana. "Alright your turn,"
"Kakashi, this is pointless, you know who I am," She said. "Of course, but let's just hear it, you know for these guys," She paused for a few seconds. 'No, you just want to be nosy'
"…My name is Hana Setsumi, I like flowers and medical herbs, I dislike coffee and fire, my hobbies are the tea ceremony and flower arrangement, my dream for the future is to protect the children of my village,"
"See wasn't so bad? Next,"
"Believe it, I'm Naruto Uzumaki! I like instant ramen in a cup and I really like the ramen Iruka-sensei got me at Ichiraku Noodle Shop, but I hate the three minutes you have to water after putting water in the ramen cup, my hobbies are eating different ramen and comparing them, my dream is to being the greatest Hokage so the village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody, somebody important," He said. 'Hokage?' Hana looked at Naruto.
"Alright, next,"
"I'm Sakura Haruno, what I like…Uh…I mean the person I like is.. My hobbies are….Uh…My dream for the future is," Sakura let out a squeal and her face turned red. "And? What do you hate?,"
"Naruto!," She said out loud. Naruto groaned.
"Last one,"
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything, what I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality, I'm going to destroy my clan and destroy a certain someone," Everyone grew quite and looked at Sasuke.
That afternoon, Hana walked towards the orphanage of the village. She opened the door and the children smiled at her. "Hana's back!," A little boy shouted. The children began to surround her. She looked down at them and her pink lips formed a small smile.
Sasuke took a walk through Konoha. His hands stuffed into his pants. 'Only 60% chance of me passing, not likely, I'll pass,' Sasuke looked up from the ground as he heard children laughing. He saw Hana, she was bending over and the children were bending over and watching her hands. She had her hands cupped together and dirt in them. Hana's hands shined dimly, suddenly a large beautiful cosmos flower came from the dirt. "Oh! Wow! Hana your amazing!," a little girl said.
"…She's growing flowers from dirt?," Hana's voice suddenly came to him. 'My dream is to protect the children of my village' Sasuke noticed that she had a smile on her face, earlier she was just emotionless. Hana took the flower from the dirt and gave it to a girl. The girl blushes and smiled. "It's so big and pretty," The little girl said. Sasuke just watched as she kept doing this, the children kept smiling and butterflies began to appear. 'Just who is this girl?,'
