Chapter 1 – I am dead
I am dead.
Dead to everyone who knew me, anyone who loved me. I died five years ago, in a mascara lead by someone I once loved, that night I lost my whole family; I lost everything. I woke up a month later in a secure hospital, ANBU at the door, in the corner a grave Hokage looking down at me. He broke the news to me and shattered my heart. I miss that old man, the last words I heard from him was "May we meet again." Perhaps one day I will return home. I never wanted to leave rather the Hokage suggested that it was safer for me and my unborn child that I go into hiding. So I did.
"Did you hear Tazuna has ninja staying at his house?" a whisper in the wind.
"Yeah they are going to wish they never came. One of them can't even wake up." A response.
Walking through the morning markets the town was particularly quiet and secretive; no one made eye contact with anyone or anything. I walked amongst them, listening carefully to the small whispers, training my ears in as I ignored the tugging of an insistent child. I listened, I learnt, I went home.

"He needs a doctor!" Sakura repeated herself every ten minutes
"We have one but she is up on the hill." Tazuna was sick of repeating himself
"Take us!" Naruto shouted
"I can't, she dislikes ninja and she is not one I would like to piss off." He valued his life
"Well I'm going to find her!" Before a word could be said to hold him back Naruto was gone and Sasuke regretfully running after him.
"You didn't have to come teme." Naruto grumbled as the two walked aimlessly around the forest.
"Well someone has to look after your sorry ass." Just like that the two boys fought, creating enough ruckus to attract some unwanted guests.
"What do we have here?" a chilling voice crept out of the trees and the boys realised they were surrounded.
"Way to go Sasuke!" Naruto yelled more abuse
"It's your fault we are out here!" The two didn't stand a chance.
After taking a few blows the boys were backed against each other, gasping for air. That's when it appeared. Only there for a second, more of a black shadow yet all the men they faced fell to the ground. Then it left, leaving a stunned Sasuke in its mist; he saw the red eyes, on his life he swore.

How stupid do I get! I'm an idiot! Why do I do this to myself, why do I do this! I screamed into the night as the rocks that surround my house turned to dust in my hands. I need to get out of here I need to run…but Mikoto what will I say? Tell her I have a new job that she can make new friends. She has no friends here anyway. Alright just get the essentials.
I raced through the house, a few clothes, money, Mikoto's favourite bear, food for the trip; I was almost finished. I walked into my room and lifted the fake floor board, pulling out the box. My heart dropped to the floor when I opened it, it happened every time I saw the faces; the photos. One of me and Itachi on our first date, one of me and my mum and dad I was smiling so much, my headband from the leaf, a few kunai given to me by the 3rd himself, the keys to my old house and the photo of me and Kakashi; my heart shattered this time.
I miss you…
My head jumped up as loud bangs echoed through my house, someone was frantically knocking on the door; I was the town medic after all. I considered grabbing the bag and running now, it would have been easy but some part of me walked to the door. Opening it I found three exhausted genin, Tazuna and an unconscious jounin. I opened the door to my brother-in-law, my old friend; everything I had ran from. I had to physically will myself from running again.
"Please our sensei needs help! Help us!" I had completely ignored what they were saying until the blonde haired kid got in my face.
"Naruto how rude! She isn't going to help us now!" the girl of the group hit the blonde.
"Please, he needs help." Tazuna and I shared a nod and he brought him into the medical room, the kids sitting on the chairs leaving Tazuna to stand; I tried to avoid looking at Sasuke, I avoided looking at any of them.
"I'm sorry it is so late." Tazuna sighed.
"So am I" I could have been gone by morning.
"He hasn't woken for two days now, he got into a battle with a powerful ninja and won but after he just collapsed…" That isn't like Kakashi and two days is a long time…
"Ok, which one of you has medical training?" I asked the kids as I turned to Kakashi and began to inspect his responses. They didn't answer.
"I-I only know what we did from the academy." Great, a pink haired floosy is the best hope he had.
I inspected in silence, the kids whispered between them and watched every move I made, Tazuna looked ready for bed.
"Your sensei is fine, he merely over did it during his battle, I have helped speed up his recovery but the most you can do is wait. By morning he should be fine, now leave."
"How much do we owe you?" The girl I believe is Sakura asked pulling out a tiny purse, her pocket money.
"Nothing, just leave." I can't do this anymore, I can't be in the room with Sasuke, with Kakashi; my heart couldn't do it.
A flash of lightening and a boom of thunder. God's way of hating me.
"Mummyy" the scream was accompanied by a little 5 year old sprinting down the hall and clinging to my legs.
"Shush baby girl it's only some lightening, its ok." I picked her up as she rested in my arms, her little arms clinging tight around my neck. The others wouldn't be able to leave till the storm left.
"It will only be the night." Tazuna was a kind man for all that had happened to his family.
"Tea?" I sighed and walked into the kitchen, putting the kettle on and cursing the god above.
Mikoto was awake now and happy to play with the new people around her, she really liked the blonde. They played with her until her body finally realised how late it was, she curled into my arms during tea and fell asleep. After tea the others shared the lounge and I put Mikoto into her room; I however could not sleep.
"I never meant to leave. Well I never wanted to." Was it to get rid of my guilt? Talking to the unconscious Kakashi as my hands ran through his hair. Did a part of me want him to hear me?
"I had to, for Mikoto's sake the Hokage said he might come back for her I had to protect her, I'm sorry. They told me no one survived if I had of known about Sasuke I would have stayed…I miss you…What do I do? You always knew what to do, you always had a plan, an idea, you always just knew." Please I don't know what to do anymore…

I heard all she said, she miss judge her medical ability I had been awake ever since she healed me. I listened to what she said, I listened as she cried on my chest, and I held back my own tears.
