What you recognize I don't own this is partially going to be like my Ariel of the Autobots in the fact that the character won't know how long it's been while the readers will know, but it's different in that she isn't a prisoner she has a completely different issue that would keep her from knowing how long it's been entirely but this time she will know how long she's been with a person oh asterisks denote alien, foreign or any form of sign languages, oh and a term I'm using is only familiar to me because of a program a few years ago on the military channel. And a terrorist group that shows up later is completely made up
Well "Kasuga" was doing her daily warm ups for her swordsmanship lessons when her master, master Katakura came over to her practicing
*Kasuga stop warm ups for a minute*
*What is it master?*
*I have something to give you my student, come we go to the main dojo*
And so they went to the main dojo and sat down on their feet student facing where her master would normally sit and when he came out he had a box which he laid between them
*This is for you Kasuga, since we don't know anything about your past before you met me I decided the day we met would be considered your birthday*
*It has been one year since we met hasn't it master?*
*Indeed it has and we still have no word on who you might possibly be in real life*
*Actually master I think I finally have a clue as to who I might be, last night I had a dream*
*Do tell *
*It was a strange dream, I was surrounded by people in EDC* (Earth Defense Command) *Uniforms and a birthday cake before me, I think there were others as well but I couldn't tell or recognize any faces just the uniforms*
*That is strange, when would you have met and become friends with EDC officers at your age?*
*Exactly master that is why I mentioned it to you*
*You know we could try the local police again, they said that maybe after a year your hands would have healed enough that they would be able to get a clear print of your fingers, maybe that will work since I highly doubt we will be able to get any where's near an EDC base*
*True, but first master I will open the present you have given me*
And so "Kasuga" opens the box and sees a finely crafted Katana
*Master this is...*
*Yes I had it made for you months ago and was just waiting for the right time to give it to you*
She gives leans forward with her hands in front of her in a proper bow for her sitting position
*Thank you master for this great gift*
*No thank you my student for allowing me to pass on the ways of the sword, though it almost seems instinctual for you, now come we have to see if we can finally figure out who you are*
And so they go into town and then head to the police station who recognize both them and why they were there in the first place
*Come you two this way, now to hoping we can find out who you are*
*Officer I have a suggestion if you guys still can't get a clear fingerprint off of me*
*What might that be?*
*Would a DNA test from my blood be able to tell you who I am?*
*Only if it's on file some where's*
*I see*
*But if nothing else it is worth a try, and we can send it off to other countries too so that they can do tests as well and see if your DNA is on any of their files*
And so they fingerprint her and then that's when everyone gets a very big surprise
*Impossible, she went missing two years ago and has been presumed dead the entire time*
*What is it officer? Do you know who I am?*
*Um, maybe but the problem is the computer is declaring you to be someone declared dead two years ago*
*I still want to see officer, maybe I can help out if I see the name, you know memories coming back*
*True enough, very well come over here*
And so "Kasuga goes over to the computer and sees a name there Jennifer Kerenai. As soon as she saw that name she has a headache which eases up pretty fast all things considered
*Kasuga are you okay?*
*Master I...remember, I have my memories back*
*You do?*
*Yes master, in fact the dream last night was also a memory, but I just didn't realize it. The computer is correct I am Jennifer Kerenai*
*But the crash, the EDC stated there were no survivors*
(shakes her head) *Some of what happened that day two years ago is pretty fuzzy but I survived the crash and tried to head to either an American base or an EDC base but passed out after only a few hours of walking. A year after the crash you found me master trying to make a living off the land with no memories of who I was or even the fact that a whole year had passed since after the crash I had a hard time distinguishing just how many days had passed since one day went right into the next*
*You know it explains how you knew how to handle a sword, you just needed some refinement in technique*
*Agreed master, now then to tell the EDC who can tell my family in America that I'm alive after all this time*
*I am sure they will be very happy to do so*
*Kerenai I actually have one more gift to bestow upon you but it has a condition which cannot be changed*
*What is it master?*
*I wish to declare you a sword master but you must pass the test in order to be named such*
*I understand master I have heard of the test, in fact if I am correctly recalling there are EDC officers who are qualified to give me the test to see if I qualify for the title of master swordsman*
*Indeed there are so let's go*
And so they went to the EDC and explained everything they could in regards to Jennifer's identity and why it had taken so long to identify her
