Living by a Vow
A girl with long black hair walked into the village hidden in the leaves. It's been a long time since she was last seen within this village. About 5 years to be exact. Her eyes were a light color of red, but were also still kind of dark red color. She stopped walking once she had gotten through the gate of Konoha. She looked around and smiled, she was home for good this time. She walked over to the ramen shop and bought some ramen. She hadn't had any ramen at all to eat while she was away. She missed the taste of the ramen from this village. As she ate she didn't mind the adults and the shop owner starring at her. They must have been surprised to see her back so soon. When she was finished eating she headed off to the Hokage's office. She walked through the double doors and was surprised to see who was sitting before her at the 3rd Hokage's desk (that was the last Hokage in rule before she had left for her mission). "Tsunade? You're Hokage now? What happened to the 3rd?" The girl asked very confused at to what has happened in the last 5 years.
"Welcome back Akio! It's nice to see you again. How many years has it been since the last time we met? And so many questions have come from you. I guess that would be expected since you've been gone for so long." Tsunade said gesturing for Akio to sit down in the seat that was before her. Akio took the seat and listened to Tsunade as she explained what has happened in the last 5 years.
"Wow a lot has happened since I was 11." She said looking at Tsunade. Tsunade gave a Akio a confused look. Probably wondering why she had said that she had left for a mission at the age of 11, but then it hit her.
"Oh I forgot that you were one of the strongest and smartest within your class. So you were able to join a team of older ninjas and go on missions at that age as well. And the 3rd Hokage had sent you on the most dangerous mission for most." Tsunade said looking at Akio who just nodded her head in agreement. She had missed out on so much, but couldn't refuse the mission that she had been sent on. "Oh I almost forgot the 3rd had left something on his desk before passing away. It's from your mother and father. It's addressed to you so I didn't want to open it until you returned." She said handing Akio an enclosed envelope. Akio took it with care. She didn't feel like opening it until later. She stood up from the chair, gave Tsunade a nod, and then left the office.
Akio was surprised to see what was in front of her when she got to her old apartment. There was only rebel that stood before her. Her home was gone for good just like her family was gone. She wondered what had happened to her belongings that were still in her apartment. But her wondering didn't last long since she started to walk away from the rubble in search of a new home. When she was passing a restaurant she saw her old guardian Hatake Kakashi. He looked like he was almost done eating so she sat down on a bench near the restaurant.
A few minutes later Kakashi and 3 others were leaving the restaurant. She only recognized 2 out of the 3 that were with him. "Kakashi sensei!" She called out to him. He quickly looked around remembering the voice. Once he saw her he had a surprised look on his face.
"Akio?" He said walking towards her. She didn't wait for him to come she just ran up to him and gave him a hug. She missed him so much. Even though it was strange to see a 16 year old girl hugging sensei it was normal for her since she hasn't been able to do that for 5 years. Akio stopped hugging Kakashi long enough to see the teenagers behind him. These must be his students. Oh and look who he got stuck with stupid Sasuke and obnoxious Naruto. But the pink haired girl I'm at a loss with. She thought giving Sasuke an evil glare.
"This your team Kakashi sensei?" Akio asked pointing at the 3 students behind him. Kakashi just gave her a nod. He was about to introduce them, but Naruto beat him to it.
"I'm Naruto Uzimaki! Soon to be Hokage!" Naruto said with a smile. Akio just looked at him like he was stupid. You have got to be kidding me. Him? Hokage? Yeah right. He better keep dreaming. She thought to herself.
"Hi I'm Sakura Haruno. Don't mind Naruto he's just an idiot." She said giving Akio a smile. Akio nicely returned the smile. Then she looked at Sasuke who was looking away from her.
"You don't need and introduction Sasuke. I think I got enough of that the last time I saw you." Akio said coldly towards him.
"Shut up. I was happier with you gone for 5 years. And you couldn't have stayed away any longer?" Sasuke replied back to her even colder.
"I wish I could of. If it meant I had to be farther away from you I would have been more than happy to agree." Kakashi could sense were this was going so he quickly thought of something to change the subject.
"So Akio where will you be staying for the night?" Kakashi asked. Akio just looked at him and her eyes became sad.
"I really don't know Kakashi sensei. My home was destroyed while I was gone."
"You can stay at my place for the time being. I would be more than happy to have you back under my roof Akio." Kakashi suggested. Akio gave him a big smile. She would be very happy to stay with Kakashi again. He was a nice guardian to her before and she thought the same of him now.
"Thank you Kakashi sensei I would very much like that." She said nodding her head his way. And with that said they all went their separate ways. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura went off to their own homes, while Kakashi and Akio walked back to Kakashi's place.
When they had gotten to Kakashi's place Akio was surprised to see what was there. Kakashi still had some stuff from when Akio was 11. "You kept all of this for 5 years Kakashi sensei?" She said looking at him. Kakashi smiled at her and nodded.
"I didn't want to forget you. You're like a daughter to me Akio and you always will be." Kakashi said giving Akio a hug. Akio happily returned his hug. When they were done hugging Kakashi showed Akio her room that she had been staying in when she was 11. And that was when Akio went bug-eyed. All the stuff from her old apartment was there. Everything she needed to survive was right in front of her.
"You got my stuff from my old apartment too?" She said looking up at him confused. Again Kakashi nodded and yawned.
"Well I'm kinda tied so I'm going to go to sleep soon." He said as he disappeared off to his own room. Akio gave a nod then walked into her own room and went through her stuff for a little while. Once she was done she got changed and fell asleep on the bed in the corner of the room.
