!AUTHOR REPORT THINGY YOU SHALL READ THIS AND GET COOKIES (sorry I ramble3)!

HELLO! This is pretty much my first story I guess? I dunno where the other one went (xDD). It wasn't finished anyways...hehe :3.

Lemme tell you about my style really quick, I usually like to comment a bit on my stories, hence the AN everywhere XDD you could also take those as Hope's thoughts while reading this because she IS based off myself. :D I might get lazy later on and just not have little space tab things...like you'd notice. XD hmm I like dialogue and tend to describe things a lot. So I guess that makes me a good writer? I DUNNO I TRY XD I like to joke in my stories too so if you looking for something serious go find some other Gaara story, sorry XD. I'm not too graphic either and those...sex things...are just...WHAT? Only kissing and partial de-clothing for me! XDD maybe O.o I dunno. I'M RAMBLING! ARGHH! Sorry. ._. ...

Alix is based off my best friend and Hope is based off me. I hope (HAHA) you enjoy learning about our personalities ^_^

Alix and Hope are original characters I own (Well Alix is owned by my best friend but whatever I'm taking her soul for this MWHAHA)

*Jasper is also my original character, I must give credits to Alix for helping me with some aspects of him. Aunt Gen is also original, Alix came up with the name.

*Shows up later so don't freak people.

I DON'T OWN SHIT OTHER THAN THAT! MASASHI KISHIMOTO OWNS ALL OTHER CHARTERS AND PLACES I JUST HAZ THE IDEAS WITH SAID CHARACTERS!

I promise the next chapters wont have me rambling as much...although you might have enjoyed it...creepos. XD

It was about 12 at night. I was sitting on my bed restless. I had not been able to sleep for the past few days due to a reoccurring dream. ANYWAYS! (AN: WOO DESCRIPTION STUFF!) Hi, I'm Hope Akemi and I'm a proud Shinobi of Sunagakure No Sato. I'm a Jonin at the age of 16 (AN: I wish I was…), a rare occurrence but I don't see what the big deal is… My parents were once shinobi too, they sought out to help the Hidden Leaf with the Kyuubi around 16 years ago, and I was only a few days old at the time.

I'm about five foot five (AN: I wish I was this too…SHORTNESS ;_;). My hair is cut shoulder length, brown with blonde side bangs that cover my right eye. My eyes look nothing like anyone's in my family; they're a sparkling orange hazel, although they've been becoming more orange over the years. I don't dress averagely for a ninja either. I wear a net shirt to my elbows and over that a gray off the shoulder top that stops just above my stomach and leaves my left shoulder exposed. Its just about the same on my lower half, net pants to my knees and gray shorts. As for my headband, I wear it around my neck loosely, but not enough for it to slip off during battle, of course. (AN: ;D)

The Kazekage raised me until I was a Genin. Being raised by the Kazekage of course I became really close friends with Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro. Gaara I never knew much about, but I know I loved every second I've spent with him. I'm not sure why though. Temari of course was my best friend from the start; we've told each other everything she's a really great friend! Kankuro…well I don't know what to say about Kankuro. He would always tease me and stalk on me. Creepy much?

After I was raised at the Kazekage's place, I was moved into my own house. My neighbor, Alix Kaida was also a Jonin, a year older than me often played with me. Alix is around six feet tall with long black hair and bangs similar style to mine by over the left eye. She also has piercing silver eyes that I swear can suck you in immediately or shoves you against a wall as far away as possible. Alix and I wear similar outfits…you'll find out why. She wears these knee black, lace up converse. (AN: totally in right now in Suna, right?) She also wears a net shirt like me but with a black off the shoulder top, right shoulder exposed. She wears the net pants to the knees and black shorts as well.

Alix's aunt whom we both called Aunt Gen would teach me how to cook, clean, buy groceries and she also trained Alix and I a lot too! Alix lives with her aunt because her parents died in a fire when she was three. She was still traumatized a bit when I first met her, but slowly as we started growing up together in and outside our team her mind became more and more peaceful.

AN: Sorry I know this one is really short...prologue thingy I guess DEAL WITH IT! Kay so uhh will you...review meeeee? PLEASE?:D Tell me how I did(:
