Happy Reading!!!
"What am I...?"
That question always rang through her head, not knowing who she was anymore.
In the outskirts of Konoha, a small house sat near the edge of a forest, slightly covered in the vines and branches of the surrounding trees.
Inside, a young girl sat in the centre of the floor of the small living room. Her long black hair was slightly layered at the front, and her fringe ranged from long to semi short at the centre part. Her bright, blue eyes seemed to light her face up, and they complimented her dark hair quite nicely. She wore a sleeveless midnight black/blue shirt with a thick turtleneck collar, with a thin white stripe running down the shoulders, and down the sides under the arms. A dark red, almost crimson embroidery pattern of a dragon/flame appearance streamed over the right side of her shirt, and it faded to a white colour as it trailed up the centre of her chest. Her shorts were the matching colour of her shirt, but were cut off just above the knee to give them a shorter look. A similar pattern to the one on her shirt permanently marked her upper left arm, but she covered it with a bandage and wore a white elbow sleeve on her left arm too. Her headband lay on the floor nearby, but she didn't even think about picking it up, since it has been 3 days since it was there.
She sat there silently, staring out the open window at the sparse forest and listened to the birds and the flowing water at the back of her house. The front door of her house opened, and she tensed slightly, but she made no other movements and listened for the visitors.
Quietly, four ANBU marched into the room, followed by Kakashi and Tsunade. "Go away..." The little girl muttered, not turning towards them, but the Hokage took a small step forward.
"Come on Kari, you know that it is that time now, so could you participate for once?" Tsunade said flatly, looking to see the reaction of the girl. The said girl stayed quiet, and Tsunade nodded, and the ANBU began to step forward.
The girl whipped around as soon as she heard their footsteps.
"NO! I've only just managed to remember my name! I don't want to forget it again!" She screamed out, clenching her fists, and the ANBU stoped, and looked back at Tsunade. The lady frowned, and clenched a fist.
"Whether you want to or not, we have to do this. It is for your own good" The Hokage screamed back but Kari took a step backwards as she noticed the ANBU approach again.
"No it isn't for my Own good! I don't want you to wipe my Memory again!" Kari retorted, and brought her hands up above her head with a hand sign, and brought them down with great speed and force and palmed the ground. A powerful shockwave pulsated from her body, and sent the 6 ninja in the room flying off their feet and hitting the walls nearby. Spying the open window, she ran for it and escaped the room outside while everyone else was still trying to recover from the shock.
"Go after her!!!" Tsunade ordered, and got back to her feet. Kakashi helped her up and brushed himself off, before them both leapt out the window to track down the girl.
Kari bolted through the forest, deeper towards the cliffs. Occasionally leaping tree to tree at the terrain change, she quickened her pace. She arrived at a clearing, and just as she was about to run further, Tsunade appeared at her intended route and threw some kunai. Not expecting this, Kari dodged them clumsily, and Kakashi appeared nearby and grabbed her shoulders. She kicked and tried to do a jutsu, but The Jounin quickly slammed a piece of paper on her neck, and she suddenly felt weak.
Staggering out of his grip, she stumbled and leant against a tree, but her knees began to tremble.
'Damn chakra suppressing tag' she thought, and slowly brought a hand up to try and remove it, but a gloved hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Secure her. Let's get this over and done with!" Tsunade ordered, fed up with having to chase her all the time.
The ANBU nodded, and grabbed her wrists, while the others held her legs down. Kakashi held her head steady by gripping her forehead securely, but not to hurt her, and pinned her head against a tree.
"No! Stop! I don't want to forget again!" Kari screamed out, tears welling up in her eyes as she began to cry. The clouds began to gather, and the sky darkened, but it was bright and sunny a few minutes before. The flowers and grass began to wilt and sag, while the leaves on the tree she was pinned against dried to a crisp brown and began to fall. Tsunade did a few hand signs, and bit her thumb, and drew a character on her active hand.
"Stop resisting Kari, it's for all of our sake..." Kakashi said sympathetically, and closed his eyes as Tsunade suddenly slammed her hand (gently) on her forehead and her hand glowed a yellow green colour. Kari screamed briefly, before her eyes closed and she lost consciousness. The ANBU released their grip on her, and as her body went limp, Kakashi caught her, and held her in his arms. Tsunade was panting, and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand after performing a 'memory wiping' jutsu.
"There... Take her to the hospital, and we will tell her some of her own necessary information when she wakes up in the morning tomorrow" Tsunade panted asked, and Kakashi nodded, standing up slowly. He stood there for a moment, looking at Tsunade who disappeared in a puff of smoke as she returned to the office. Slowly, Kakashi began to walk towards the hospital with the girl in his arms.
The clouds were dark enough, and then rain began to fall lightly, and then turned into a normal, pleasant sprinkling. Kakashi looked up at the skies with a saddened expression.
'I know you are upset that we had to do this to you Kari... your tears wash all over the village so everyone knows your sadness...' Kakashi thought to himself, feeling a great amount of Sympathy for the girl. He looked upwards again, and a small raindrop landed on his eyebrow, and trailed down his eye, looking like a tear.
'I feel your pain...'
The next day, Kakashi was already in the hospital room, sitting on the chair next to the bed where Kari lay asleep. After a few minutes waiting, her eyes fluttered open slightly, and she blinked a few times to get her vision into focus before moving. Kakashi noticed her eyes move, and put his book away and leant forward, waiting patiently for her to wake up properly before he began to speak.
Kari sat up slowly, and closed her eyes while taking a few deep breaths. She shook her head slightly, and then looked at Kakashi.
"Another wipe... wasn't it..." She muttered to him quietly, and Kakashi nodded slowly, trying to get her to look him in the eye. That was the safety restraint on this particular system. Tsunade was only allowed to erase most of her memory, but the only thing she had to leave was the information of her 'handler', who was Kakashi.
"You cried this time..." Kakashi smiled, but the girl didn't look too impressed.
"So... what's my name?" She asked, looking at Kakashi's lone eye, and he pulled out a small piece of paper with her name on it.
"Your name is Kari, and you are 13 years old. Your birthday is on the 25th of July, and you have special abilities, which you have been honing in on since you began your ninja life at 5" Kakashi summarized her information to her simply, and she smirked, and took the paper, looking at her name written on the small piece of parchment.
"You don't need me to explain your abilities and 'differences' to you, do I?" Kakashi said with a hidden smile under his mask. Kari shook her head with a small smirk. That was another thing that Tsunade found odd about the memory wiping technique. Apart from erasing Kari's knowledge on Kakashi, she wiped every other remnant of her mind; Kari always seemed to know every detail of her abilities.
Kari was really good at memorizing, but it was the constant Memory erasing that was knocking her out of it. But, luckily, out of all the times Tsunade has erased her memory, she has never forgotten her 'talents'.
"Kakashi-sensei, where do I live?" She asked, looking at the grey haired ninja hopefully, those blue eyes looked more innocent than an Angel. "I'll show you after. You need to stay here for a few more hours before I can take you home. Do you want me to get you anything to eat?" Kakashi asked, standing up and heading for the door. Kari shook her head, and Kakashi headed out the door.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei?" She quickly called out before he left the room fully. He turned around to show that he was listening.
"What's my name again?" She asked, and Kakashi smiled.
"Kari"
Kakashi walked through the outskirts of the village with the young Kari walking next to him. He didn't talk, so he silently led her to her house even though he has been doing this several times before. He got used to it after a while though. They began to wipe her mind every month at 10, so he grew used to it after the first year.
"Kakashi!"
The said shinobi turned around only to see a brunette Chuunin marching up to him.
"Oh Hello Iruka, What Brings you here?" Kakashi said with a smile, looking over the top of his book. Iruka just frowned and growled at his carelessness. "YOU were supposed to be at the meeting this morning. EVERYONE was expected to be there, and you decided to skip out and have a walk huh?!" Iruka screamed, obviously taking this matter really seriously. (The meeting must've been one of those 'confidential' meetings)
"Um, Iruka-"
"Don't change the subject! Tsunade might've let you off, but I bet you made a bet just to skip out on it!"
"Iruka-"
"You might always be late, but that is no excuse for missing out on a meeting completely like that!"
Kakashi stayed silent, and just sighed as he watched Iruka continue to rant and rave on about the meeting.
"What is that Guy talking about?" Kari suddenly piped in, poking Kakashi in the arm to get his attention. Iruka heard her and suddenly shut up, and looked down to see the girl standing next to Kakashi, and she was even giving him the 'Oh my God, That guy is crazy' look, and taking a small step back.
"Iruka, I would like you to meet Kari. She is the reason that I wasn't at the meeting, because the meeting was about her. Am I correct?" Kakashi asked, looking at Iruka's face flush red with embarrassment. Kari raised an eyebrow at Iruka as he leaned over to Kakashi.
"So, she is the 'Konseigo' that Tsunade was on about at the meeting. Right?" Iruka whispered, and Kakashi nodded. Iruka knelt down to her height and carefully eyed her, almost as if he was glaring. His annoyed tone had faded, and now there was a quiet, sheer depressed voice, almost as if it was hatred.
"Uh, Sorry you had to hear me mouth off like that. I'm Iruka, one of the Shinobi that have been told about you" Iruka smirked, and Kari just raised another eyebrow and rolled her eyes. She could already tell he didn't like her. "Kari, your house is just down the path. I'll meet you there. Is that alright?" Kakashi asked, and she nodded, and bolted down the said path.
"I can't believe I went off at you like that in front of the Konseigo" Iruka told himself, shaking his head and the red was still on his cheeks, because he was still overly embarrassed. Kakashi frowned at him slightly.
"You still have the nerve to call her that?" Kakashi said a little disappointedly putting the book away in his vest pocket and now taking the conversation seriously. Iruka raised an eyebrow at his sudden concern over a little name.
"Well, that is what she is, so, we have the right to call her that" Iruka replied, and Kakashi seemed to take this a little personally. He found that word very filthy. Konseigo. Calling someone a Hybrid is like claiming them to be an 'inbreed', almost like saying that they aren't worthy of the name 'person' or 'human'.
"Would you like it if I called Naruto 'Kyuubi' all the time?" Kakashi said with a serious tone, raising an eyebrow to see Iruka's expression. Iruka frowned and glared at him. "You don't ever call him that. You are his sensei, and you should know" He growled out, taking that comment personally. Kakashi huffed.
"Well, don't call Kari a Konseigo. She has a name you know" Kakashi tilted his head up slightly, and was confused at the way Iruka was reacting.
"You have the nerve to respect something like that Konseigo?" Iruka suddenly spat out, and Kakashi frowned, trying not to lose his temper. He was quite angry with the brunette now. He didn't even say someone. He said something instead of giving her the proper term as a person, and he still refused to call her by her name.
"So, the great Iruka-sensei who is the one who decided to take care of the nine tails kid, which was the cause in your parents death and the result in his loneliness, decides to shun someone that is similar to the boy he is raising, yet had nothing to do with his life in the first place?" Kakashi asked, crossing his arms and carefully looking at the growing temper on Iruka's face. The brunette was close to hitting him.
"It wasn't Naruto's fault that the Kyuubi is sealed inside of him, and he has the right to be raised by me! It is that Konseigo you hang around with! It is dangerous and you know it Kakashi!" Iruka retorted, taking the copy ninja's questions about his 'son' very personally.
Kakashi smirked, glad to get Iruka to crack like that. "You idiot..." Kakashi laughed, and Iruka was about to whack him when the grey haired ninja suddenly pulled out a kunai and held it close to Iruka's face while leaning close so he could hear his death bringing words.
"You don't have the right to speak of her like that, when you know damn well that Naruto is just as dangerous. You speak badly of her one more time in front of me, or if you lay one finger on her for no reason at all, I will be forced to attack you to defend her. You don't have the right to harm someone who has done nothing to you" Kakashi warned him, and Iruka frowned, but seemed to be threatened by Kakashi's daring message. He didn't move, and Kakashi just gripped the knife tighter.
"Got it?" Kakashi growled, and Iruka froze, and the slight movement of his ponytail moving up and down meant a silent yes.
He back off and put the Kunai away, before pulling his book out and following the path that Kari walked down, leaving Iruka standing there alone to think about what he had said.
"So, this is my house?" Kari asked, looking at the small accommodation that seemed a little overgrown from the flora around it.
"Yes, and you do know why that the vines are like that?" Kakashi asked, making sure she didn't need any more information. She nodded her head with a smile and placed a finger on the side of her head. "Yeah, Kai told me" She smiled, and Kakashi opened the door and they walked in.
She looked around the place and kicked her shoes off, walking further in and stopped as she noticed Kakashi at the door.
"Well, there you go. If there is anything you need, I will be at the Hokage's office" Kakashi assured her, heading for the door. She shivered and shook her head. "There is no way I'm going near that Hag" She muttered quietly to herself, and watched Kakashi leave before she headed to her bedroom, and picked up a small box that was under the bed, full of pictures and scrolls, and booklets.
"Alright... now, to remember my past..."
----------Kari's dream that night----------
"Hey! Nii-chan! Look! I got the form right!!!" A young Kari ran across a small clearing wearing a simple shirt and shorts. She bolted to her older brother that was at least 10 years older than her. Her older sibling ran his fingers through his long, spiky brown hair with a sigh and a smile as he got up and walked over to his little sister.
"Kairu-Nii! See? I can actually breathe it now!" She said happily and her older brother watched
Kari took a deep breath and breathed out a stream of white powdery substance, ice. The older brother smiled and leant over to her, rubbing her on the head, proud of his little sister.
"Well, you got the Ice lung done; can you get the Fire lung covered?" He asked, and the young Kari huffed, gripping her left side with a frown.
"It always feels like I'm getting barbequed from the inside when I try the fire one" She pouted, and then watched her older brother as he took a deep breath, and breathed out a huge fireball, shaped like that of a dragon flame.
"Pretend that your chest is like a fridge. It is cold, but you are about to spit out some hot food" Her brother explained, but just as Kari was about to object, they both froze as they sensed someone nearby. A kunai suddenly shot towards them, heading right for Kari, but Kairu dived in front of her, taking the hit in the back of his shoulder. "Nii-chan!" She screamed, pulling him onto his feet, and a little scared and angry, she stomped hard on the dirt, and thick vines shot out of the ground surrounding them, hiding the two siblings temporarily.
"Byakugan!" Was all they could hear as they heard the other ninjas land in the same clearing. Suddenly one of the vine clusters broke open and a brown haired man with pale violet eyes appeared with a kunai in his hand.
"Hizashi-sama! I found them!" He screamed out, and Kairu quickly grabbed Kari and ran. All they could do was run, since the eyes of Hyuugas can see through everything...
Kari woke up suddenly, kicking off the covers as she realized that she was suddenly hot. The nightmare had woken her up, but it seemed so real.
"Damn the Hyuugas. Always thinking they are the best..." She panted quietly to herself, and looked over at the clock only to realize that it was already 5am. With a sigh, she stepped out of bed and headed for the bathroom to get ready to meet up With Kakashi at the Park.
Kari got ready quickly, and walked towards the park on a route that she figured out, which was away from any busy places or near anyone at all. As she noticed someone approaching, she would hide in a tree to avoid getting noticed or seen by them. She quickly made her way to the meeting spot, and with some thought, she lay down in the long grass and smirked as the grass wrapped around her legs and arms, and flowers began to bloom around her. She knew Kakashi well, and he was always late, so, why not relax for a while?
At the Elder mansion...
"I see your concern for her safety is great Kakashi. I know that our village and its shinobi are disgraceful for their shameful acts 8 years ago, but the monthly treatment is Vital. Her current condition is rather unpredictable, and we can't let her 'remembering' certain things, or else everyone else in the village will be in danger" The elder spoke, leaning forward as she took a sip of her tea.
Kakashi was glad he was able to talk to her directly. The Elders of the village were rather 'higher in command' than Hokage in some ways, so this would be the only way he could think of in brightening Kari's future.
"But, she never managed to learn how to control it. It is rather cruel erasing someones memory all the time, especially that of a 13 year old girl that still has a future ahead of her" Kakashi protested, and the elder stayed silent. She thought for a moment on his comment before continuing to speak.
"We do not know if she will be able to control herself, and if she fails to do that, you, and everyone else would be in grave danger-"
"But what if we put her in a situation where she has to stay under control?" Kakashi cut in, getting the Elders attention on his idea. The old lady leaned closer to patiently listen.
"What do you mean situation?" She asked, and Kakashi was glad he had her full attention.
"Kari has never known the meaning of 'bonds' after her clan's death 8 years ago. If she had friends, ones that she trusted and cared for, she would learn how to control herself, in order to keep her friends safe" He explained, and the Elder thought for a moment.
"But, Even if that were to work, there is a very low chance that she would be accepted by anyone... not even the rookie Genin would accept her... would they?" She began to mumble to herself as she thought about this idea, and its consequences.
"Please Baa-sama... this is For Kari's sake..."
Kari stood up slowly and leaned against the railing on the edge of the pond. 'I hate going outside... I hate seeing other people, except Kakashi-sensei...' She thought to herself trying to keep her mind of today's unplanned events. She was about to decide on going back home when she heard someone approaching, and she noticed that it was none other than her 'handler' Kakashi.
"Sorry I'm late, but I had a meeting with the village Elder" Kakashi smiled, and she made no objections, since he was telling the truth.
"A meeting about me? Again? What did you decide on now?" Kari asked, putting her hand on her hips and looking at his lone eye.
"You are now assigned to my Team, and you will be meeting some new people!"
"Oh Hell no..."
Hooray! Sorry if you got annoyed when I kept taking stories off, because I ended up with better ideas and then retyping them. I finally decided that I will stick with this one, since it seems quite interesting to be honest, even for me.
Well, you now know, Kari lived a life like Naruto, but it is actually worse. More secrets will be explained, but I will have to wait on your opinions on my story before I continue it.
Thanks for reading! I hope you like this story, because I do!!!
I don't mind flames if you don't like, but not too many, and don't be too harsh if you review either.
