Prologue
The squad of four humans were heading back to the village. Two were injured. A small young man, and a young beautiful girl. The girl was being carried by another young man, the boy carried by the eldest one, a woman.
A sandstorm was an obstacle between the village and the team. It was fiercer than usual and gripped at their clothing. We should stop. We'll get lost in the storm, the older woman thought. The injured young man shouted at the older woman above the wind,
"Why did we have to leave, Sensei? We could have finished the mission!"
The woman glared back at the boy. Though, because of the sand it was useless for he could not see.
"Because we were ordered to return by the Kazakage! Besides you are in no condition to fight! Your arm is broken and your exhausted!"
"So what! I still have the other arm and I can sleep after the mission!"
"No arguing. Anyway, we need to take some shelter. The storm is to bad, we'll get lost." They all found a bit of cover next to some large boulders. The woman sat the injured girl and boy up against the rock and had the uninjured boy and herself sit in front of them for some cover. They sat as close together as possible and waited for the storm to die. The injured boy was still complaining.
The woman said nothing for she saw a shadow within the sand in front of her. She pulled out one of her kuni and stood in a defensive position.
As she strained to see through the sand, the shadow got closer. She realized it was a human figure, and not just any human, it was a child.
"Hizeku enough!" she shouted, for the boy was still complaining. Hizeku's mouth shut immediately, shocked at how his Sensei became so forceful, which is unlike her.
The woman's eyes widened as she watched the young child fall face first into the sand in front of her. She stood there unsure. What is this child doing here? The uninjured boy stood up beside her.
"Hinnika Sinsei? What are we going to do?" he said looking over at the child, worried.
"Cover me," Hinnika answered, afraid it might be a trap. I mean, we weren't close to the village or any other life for that matter, where did this child come from?
"Right" the boy confirmed he understood.
Hinnika approached the figure in the sand in a rush, trusting the boy would cover her.
She grabbed the child by the shoulders and turn the child over. It was a girl about 5. she had brown shoulder length hair that rapped around her neck gracefully. Her lips were dry and cracked.
Hinnika dug her water bottle out of her sack and poured the water on her lips and down her throat. She picked the girl up and took her over to where her students were.
"Is she alive, Sensei?", asked the injured girl..
"Yes, Meo, we'll take her with us. She'll die out here."
The child moaned slightly. Hinnika put her down beside Meo.
"Hey, your safe now." Meo whispered.
The girls' eyes opened slightly.
"Get away. You'll all die." she muttered, but because of the strong winds, no one heard.
"What's your name, girl?" Hinnika asked.
After a moment of silence the girl answered, "Hana."
. . .
Hana didn't know her parents' names or her own name until a woman named Hinnika told her it. She didn't even know if she had any parents. She didn't know if she had a sister or a brother. She didn't know that she was in the Hidden Sand Village or that she just found a new home. She didn't know that she was found in the desert or know about the warning she had whispered to Hinnika and her students who did not hear. She just did not know, for she remembered nothing of her life before the ten minutes of her awakening in the Sand Village Hospital.
What she did know was that, she liked the color green and purple. She also liked brown because it was the color of chocolate which she loved. She new she liked anything with noodles in it and that she had a pet dog named Moto. She new that she liked fall because of the colors and because it was the end of the summer heat. She new she enjoyed the smell of coconut, vanilla, and cucumber melon shampoo and she also new she was 6 years old.
Hana laid in the Hospital bed surrounded by strangers. One of them was the woman named Hinnika. Another was a nurse. Two others were what looked like solders to Hana and the last two were in robes.
These people were silently looking at Hana with curiosity, which was what Hana was looking at them with.
"Um so," Hana said, working up the courage to say something, "What are you going to do with me? "
Silence. Hinnika scolded at the other men and bent over her bed to speak.
"Well, our leader will be down here shortly to ask you some things. We need to figure out who you are."
"Oh...but, what about my dog?"
Hana had woken up screaming for her dog. She vaguely remembered herself walking through the storm beckoning to her dog to fallow her.
"You will find him right?"
The woman bit her lip, a look of concern crossed her face.
"I'm sorry but, he's probably already gone."
Hana also knew her dog was the only one who cared for her and she him.
Just then the door to the room opened and a brown haired man with a long white robe entered the crowded room.
"Now, who do we have here?" the man spoke.
"Lord Kazakage-sama," Hinnika answered, "I found this child out in the desert with my team, we were on our way back to the village from a mission you ordered to abandon. She told me her name was Hana and passed out but when she awoke about 15 minutes ago she recalled nothing."
The nurse spoke next, "It appears she has memory loss."
"Is it short term?" asked the Kazakage.
"Well, that's the thing. Her brain seems to have been..." the nurse paused for a moment looking for the right words, "...tampered with."
"So, you're saying someone has erased her memories?" the Kazakage's voice hardened as he said this.
"Well, seeing as there are no signs of a concussion or a head injury that could of caused the loss of memories, unfortunately, that is what I'm saying."
"And the problem is because of that you have no clue if and when she will regain her memories."
"Yes, Lord Kazakage-sama."
Silence fell across the room.
"Also," the nurse spoke again, she had hesitated before continuing, "I've examined her body, as well." She grabbed Hana's wrist, pulled her sleeve up, and turning Hana's arm over to reveal a sealing symbol upon her wrist.
"She seems to have something sealed to or within her."
One of the men in the robes stepped forward, "Well then, it's safe to say she may be a weapon from one of our enemies. She was probably planted in the desert."
"I wouldn't hurt anyone!" Hana shouted in a hurry, scared they thought she was there to hurt them. What was she there for?
Hinnika spoke gently to her, "That may be the reason they wiped your memories because you disagreed with them."
"You're n-not gonna kill me, are you?"
The same robed man spoke, "Well, considering the facts it would be best if we did, we can't take the chan-"
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Hinnika screeched as Hana begain to wail in protest, "I don't wanna die!"
"You can't just casually say to a six year old child that you're going to kill her. Are you mad?" Hinnika stared at the man in disgust while she wrapped her arms around the girls fragile body. Hana continued to wail while she rubbed her eyes with bald up fists.
"Please, Lord Kazakage-sama, she is only a child. She doesn't understand things."
"I can't risk the village being attacked because we let this girl live."
"Please, have some shinobi watch over her!"
"And what shinobi would do that? There are missions to attend to and Genin to train-"
"I'll take her! Let me adopt her!"
"Who will watch her on your missions and see to your students?"
"I can train my students and watch her at the same time, and on missions I'll just make watching her a mission for a ninja and pay a fee!"
The Kazakage said nothing for quite some time. The robed man spoke again, "You arn't searously considering this?"
"I'll be good I promise! I won't hurt nobody! I'll be nice!"
"Anybody." Hinnika said softly to her, "You won't hurt anybody."
"Yeah!" sobbed Hana, "I won"t!"
The second robed man spoke for the first time, "Your too soft, Hinnika."
Hinnika's head snapped torwards the men, "And you people are too hard!" she growled.
"Calm down." The Kazakage ordered.
"Please, I'll take full responsibility for her!"
"Fine."
"What?" Everyone in the room said together.
"I said, fine"
"Really?" Hana said, trying to stop the tears, unsuccessfully.
"But, with some conditions."
"Anything!" Hana shouted.
"You are to go nowhere alone. Hinnika will do everything she just said to me, and I don't want you to have any other contact with other people or children, other than, myself Hinnika, Hinnika's students, and the ninja who will be babysitting you."
"But-" Hinnika started.
"She can gain more rights through time."
"You can't do this!" Bellowed one of the robed men, "Our village is already going through with enough-"
"I've made my decision. If she does anything against me or the village, I'll have her killed then, understood?"
Eveyone noded.
"Good. Leave the child to rest in the Hostpital a few more days then come and get her, Hinnika. Hana," he looked over to me, "this and this only Medical Ninja will watch you. I'll take my leave."
He left, the robed men fallowed grumbling on the way out about someone named Gaara, a monster, and more death.
"What's a Medical Ninja?" Hana asked.
Hinnika smiled and said, "A pearson who heals you. She is one of them."
Hinnika pointed to the nurse. Hana had a lot to learn.
