I walked along the gray stones…their familiar crunch is settling…I pulled out my keys and unlocked the basement door...it hadn't changed since the murder… I walked through my old house…it was exactly the same. I sighed as I remembered bits of my old life…I went to the front door out onto the deck and stared at the silent forest…just as three ninja appeared behind me as I said, "this will be our base…"

"Angela?" asked Keira "huh?" I asked coming back to reality. "Are you gonna eat your food or just stare at it?" she asked I looked at it, "here…I'm not hungry" I said and pushed the bowl over to her, "u-um…okay then" and she began eating it. "You know if you don't eat you'll get sick," said a voice. I turned and looked it was Naruto. I smiled, "Yea and if you eat to much you'll get sick to" I teased as I watched him eat his Ramen. "How many is that? Your fourth?" I asked again, he ate a couple of bites and the said "no, my 6th" I stared at him shaking my head. That boy could eat a mountain full of Raman and still be hungry! I looked away toward Keira, "hey, I'll see you later Keira I'm going for a walk" I said to her and I sat some money down and turned and walked out just as Zane, one of my best friends and one of the best Jonin, walked in. I glanced his way but just slide past him and down the street. "Hey what's the date?" asked Keira, "August 2nd" said Naruto "No wonder she's tense. It's the 4th year anniversary of her…" said Keira as she shared a look with Zane "father's death" he finished. I walked quickly down the road; I went to the training field, I went and sat on one of the rocks and stared at the river…I saw only my fathers pale face in death. I growled and slapped the water and turned away as I pulled my knees up to my chest and a tear fell down my face.

"A-Angie?" asked a man, my face flew up in surprise it was Zane! I quickly wiped my face off, "Zane?" I asked as he grabbed my arm and I stood. "A-Are you okay?" he asked my face slipped into anger how dare he just come out here to ask if I'm okay! "Yea Zane, I'm just wonderful," I said with a lot of chagrin in my tone. I walked onto the river; he followed. "What? Look I only came here to say…I'm sorry for what happened to your father." He mumbled. That took me by surprise, "o-oh, thanks" I said I stared into his bright blue eyes…

Then we both jumped back as each others kunai flew into the water. "You think you could surprise me?!" I asked as I stared at his shoulder where a kunai had entered. He pulled it out, Zane and I friends but also rivals. We've been that way since we were born, he charged at me I sidestepped, apparently to fast for his eyes and he toppled into the river. I burst out laughing when his dark head popped out of the water, "what are you- laughing at?" he asked with a cough in between. "You! You Dork!" I said and I started laughing again as I walked off the river. Then I whipped around and grabbed a kunai out of the air. "Still can't surprise me." I said with a wink and I disappeared.

I was just wandering the village when kakashi Hatake popped up in front of me. "Yes kakashi?" I asked, "Lady tsunade wants to see you" he said, I stared at him for a moment as I continued my walk down the road, whatever lady tsunade had to say to me she could say it tonight at my Anbu initiation. He caught up to me, "today's the anniversary isn't it?" he asked "yes, why?" I peered at him; he had a nonchalant expression on his face. Well what you could see of it anyway… "I just thought you would want to know about itachi's appearance on the outskirts of the village a couple of hours ago." He said.

I stopped and stared at him. Anger erupted inside me.

"Where?" I growled, "That's why lady tsunade wanted you," he said and I took off towards the faces. As soon as I got there, I growled again "where?" "A couple of miles outside the village" she said as I turned and went towards the trees "Angela!" she yelled, I stopped. "If you leave this village now, you'll be considered rouge." Was all she said as I turned and faced her "you will think about 3 ninja you want to take with you on your mission to find him. Then I will give you permission to leave. But not until I say when." She said. I sighed "fine." And I disappeared…
