Hikari Heiki stared longingly at her forehead protector. The Kirigakure symbol was almost mocking her. She knew for a fact that it belonged to her, but she couldn't remember anything about herself. Only her name and age and what the sword in her hand had told her. She tucked the forehead protector in her weapon pouch and stood up on the roof of the building.

She knew she was a shinobi, and her muscle memory retained her training well, but she couldn't remember any of it. She sighed and leaped off the roof and onto the one next to it.

The fifteen year old was in

the rice village hoping to find a clue about herself or her clan. After all the only way she could was by traveling which is exactly what she's doing. She stopped at a bar her katana hoisted up her waist.

It's ito was a pure white colour that never seemed to get dirty with a silver same. A little water bottle charm dangling from its kashira. Its saya was a jet black colour.

The contrast made her eyes hurt the first time she laid eyes on it, but it was the only thing that possibly had a connection to get past. "What are you doing here kid?"

"I'm looking for information." She replied her walnut brown eyes piercing into the man's in front of her. "Nothing's for free kid get out of here." He turned away. "Who said I wanted it for free?" She asked mockingly.

"Excuse me?"

"Like I said, I need answers." She said tossing a sack of gold on the counter. "I know you're neutral teritorry; that makes you a great source of information."

He reached for the pouch. She pulled her katana and pointed it at his throat. "Not before you answer me. Start talking."

"What do you want to know, kid?"

"Kirigakure's Heiki clan." His eyes widened "Why?"

"I'm tailing one of them, Hikari Heiki." She replied. "She's dead, kid." Hikari sighed and pulled her hitaite out of her pouch and pulled her sleeve up. The ANBU tattoo on her shoulder coming into view. "What do you know?"

"I don't know much, all I know is she became a Jonin at the age of ten and ANBU at eleven."

"Do you know anything else? Anything at all?" She asked. She already knew this she wanted to find something new. "I'm assuming you already knew this?"

"Yes."

"Another thing I know is she was taken away from her parents when she was five to forge Yagura's weapon."

"Forge?"

"The Heiki clan is known for their weapon forging kekki genkai. They study the feelings and spirit of the person they forge the weapon for. They have a very extensive knowledge of weapons; they can create weapons no one has heard of and like any clan, they have their own techniques and secrets."

"How? If no one heard of the weapons before how can they create them?"

"They use their own chakra to do so. That's why that poor girl died."

"I don't get it."

"When Hikari Heiki was about seven the third shinobi war was in motion, the Samehada, one of the seven swords was destroyed. The Heiki clan spent three whole years trying to reforge it but no one could and they died before they could complete it."

"Then Hikari came along?"

"Yes, she was a prodigy in a clan of prodigies. She was exploited to reforge the Samehada, she died but after she completed her task successfully."

"Arigatou." She said getting off her stool. "Wait, kid."

"Yes?"

"What's your name?"

"Yuki." She replied shortly and proceeded on her way to the door. "Do you have a place to stay?"

"Oh no I don't have time for staying here, I'll be on my way." She said closing the door. She did in fact have a place to stay but she couldn't risk the man coming after her or asking any questions. She sighed and started walking in the village. Some sweets would do her good.

"Itachi Uchiha of Konohagakure."

"I heard he killed his entire clan, even his family."

"No, he spared his little brother."

"I heard he put him under a genjutsu just to show him how he killed his parents."

"Was he captured?"

"No he's still on the run. No one knows where he is." Hikari tuned them out, rumors traveled fast and if she wasn't careful someone could and would discover her identity. She waited patiently for her Daifuku to arrive. "No one has faced her and came out alive." She whispered.

She watched her surroundings for anything that felt off. She spotted him. He was basically glaring daggers into her. A konoha nin with silver hair. He looked much older than she was but she knew that looks could be deceiving.

"Can I help you?" She muttered under her breath. She knew he could hear her. "You're clearly a shinobi. Why can't I sense you."

"Just like you, I don't want people finding me." She replied. He knew better than pry, he wouldn't want her to pry into his matters either. "So what is it that you wanted?"

"It's still weird, even as close as I am right now I still can't sense you." She blinked at his words and he was in front of her. His black eye staring into her walnut ones.

"Like I said, I don't want to be found." The masked man still looked at her. "Hatake -san please, I like my personal space."

"So you do know me."

"Who doesn't?" She replied. Her eyes tailed the waiter as he set her Daifuku down on her table. "Thank you."

"Would you like some Hatake -san?" She gestures towards her large plate of Daifuku. She remembered the nervous face that greeted her when she mentioned how much Daifuku she wanted. Kakashi stared at her boredly. "No."

"Are you trying to find that Uchiha?" Kakashi stayed silent. "You won't find him here." She said.

"How would you know."

"Because trust me if he was here, you wouldn't have gotten the chance to capture him." She smirked. "I would have already."

"It was nice meeting you miss-"

"Yuki. Just Yuki." She had to get out of this village tonight. Not in the morning as she had planned. "Of course, if you will excuse me I will be on my way." She watched her senior walking out. She sighed, well there goes her appetite.

If one saw Hikari at her current position they would say she had gone crazy.

She was having a staring contest with her sword. "You can tell me now. Anything at all." She said. She was growing frustrated by the sword's silence. "I need to know who I am. Do I have a family? The guy at the bar said I did." She said again.

She clicked her tounge in annoyance. "Fucking hell. Have I gone crazy?" She muttered and picked her katana off the ground. She was about to get out of the inn but she had a bad feeling. If there was anything Hikari knew from traveling alone for the past year was that she should always always trust her instinct. She sighed and went back to her room. At the crack of dawn then.
