AN:

So here's the first real chapter I'll do my best to update when i can but i have school too

I also realise that the prologue was kinda short so i'll try making the actual chapters longer

Enjoy!

Chapter 1:


Hokage's POV

it's almost sunset when i hear a soft knock on my door

"It's open"

I yell and looks towards the door as it slowly opens and reveals… a little girl in very dirty clothes.

"Yes?"

She carefully moves closer like a shy animal. When she finally deemed that it was safe to walk over to my desk she looks up and there was a weird untamed power in her eyes as they met mine. At the same time her gaze holds curiosity and confusion as well. When she speaks her voice is unwavering.

"Lord hokage I wish to ask you something"

she says it with such determination that it's close to yelling.

"Ask away child"

i say and finds a more comfortable way to sit having a feeling this is gonna take some time especially since i've never seen her before and she wasn't escorted here by anyone.

"I… I'm not sure how to start"

she says and frowns

"Start with the beginning"

i say since that seems to be the best place to start

"But I cant"

she says sadly and continues

"because i don't remember anything before a week ago"

she seems to think for a moment but then talks again

"But i guess that will work as a beginning for this"

she clears her throat

"so around a week back i woke up in the woods and had no memories. well it's actually weird because i have memories, just not about persons, places, experiences or… feelings. I remember my age and how to use jutsus. I know everything about chakra and different villages but i can't even remember my own name. everything is new and it's so scary. Lately i've been experiencing all these feelings that i don't know what means. only one feeling can i put into words: Fear so that's what i mostly feel. And I also remember how to… shift"

when she's done talking her eyes sure enough shows a lot of fear, but what catches me is the word shift. I'm about to ask but as if she read my mind she closes her eyes and in a short flash if light she opens her eyes, her appearance now changed.

on top of her head black cat-ears stands proudly almost camouflaged by her equally dark hair. Her pupils are now slits of black in the green eyes. There's even a tail swinging in the air behind her, and when she gives me a nervous smile she reveals a set of sharp canines. That's not all though, where her previous form had a normal amount of chakra this one has a ridiculously high amount.

before I can say anything she closes her eyes once more and that flash of light is again. But where I assumed the human girl once again would stand there is instead a black cat. all trace of the presence of such powerful creature from before gone and the cat seems to have no chakra presence at all.

'so that's how she snuck in the village'

She shifts back to her human form and looks at me while anticipating my reaction.

"and what is your questions then?"

i will decide whether or not she poses a threat towards the village when i know why she came to me in the first place

"Um Lord hokage. Can i please stay in this village?"

she says and bows with her hands on her knees

"You wish to stay?"

i ask trying to make a good decision. On one hand she can be very powerful and a valuable asset to the village, furthermore she seems quite harmless like the little girl she is. On the other hand she could be a spy and i've never seen creatures anything like her. At last i make a decision. Meanwhile she seems to have answered my question and is now looking at me with 'puppy dog eyes'... or kitty cat eyes is probably what it should be called.

"You can stay but I don't think I will be able to find you a place to sleep with such short notice"

i say apologetically but she cuts me off before i can continue

"Thank you very much Hokage-sama and please don't worry about me I already have a place to sleep"

she says and seems to think about something for a moment

"Hokage-sama could it be that you can tell me what this feeling is. It's the same as when i was with that boy. This bubbly feeling in my stomach and my whole body is filled with some nice energy. Please Hokage-sama I would like to know the name and meaning of this feeling"

she says it and unconsciously she begins to smile. The cutest sight it was as if she was lightening up the entire room with just one smile.

"That feeling is called happiness and it is indeed a wonderful feeling. I would say that it is the second most pleasant one only surpassed by love at it's finest"

i say and can't help but smile a bit myself at her eagerness and good description of happiness.

"I see… I've decided i like happiness. From now on i will always be happy. But i'm gonna try that love-thing to"

she grins and then asks something else

"Hokage-sama can you please tell me the name of the boy at the academi who has raven hair and lives all alone?"

she looks at me and i wonder how she could possibly know Sasuke. But then i remember her saying that she already had a place to sleep and my smile grows a bit

'so Uchiha got a pet'

"I would assume that you're talking about sasuke Uchiha"

she's silent fo a while whispering the name a couple of times like to taste the words. When she doesn't speak i decide to change subject and get back on track with her adjusting to the hidden leaf.

"You will need some other clothes to wear if you wanna fit in at the academy. How old are you?"

i forgot to ask her earlier and the new genin teams will graduate tomorrow so if she can control her cakra as she says and knows how to use jutsus then she may just be able to join them.

"I'm 12 years old, and I'm afraid that i have no money to buy clothes yet"

she answers and looks down a little self-conscious about her ragged clothing.

"Don't worry about that I will provide whatever you may need at the moment so how about you come tomorrow and I'll get someone to help you find something"

i say and already think about who to ask

"I will thank you very much hokage-sama!"

she says happily and hesitate for a moment. Then in the matter of moments she's right in front of me and while i'm still surprised by her swiftness she wraps her little arms around my stomach and hugs me. I look down and pats her head. she loosens her gip on me a bit, pulls back and sends me another one of her brilliant smiles.

"I won't disturb you anymore now"

a flash of light and a small shadow darting over the floor towards the window and she's gone no trace left behind not waiting for a reply or a farewell.


Sasuke's POV

I'm reading and i have been for quite a while now. the cat didn't come back. Of course it didn't it's just a stray cat. that doesn't make the hurting in my chest disappear though and I'm not tired enough to sleep either, so I'm reading to keep my thoughts of the bright green eyes, to not think about the soft black fur or the soft purrs that hours ago was filling the silence of my living room. Now it's once again dead silent except for me occasionally flipping a page.

But it is also the silence that allows me to hear the small sound of something scraping at my door. Not like claws but like paws. Soft paws trying to knock and managing to make a small sound. In three second I'm up and at the door. I compose myself and slowly open the door to see the cat sitting out there, It's green eyes glowing in the dark. I open the door wider and it slipped in. I closed the door again and turned around to find the Animal standing on the towel i previously placed on the floor then it rolls onto it's back and rubs against the towel. meanwhile I'm completely taken over by relief and something else, something I haven't felt in quite awhile, Happiness.

The cat deems itself clean and dry and begins to rub against my legs, it's soft tail brushing against my bare knees. I pick it up and holds it close to my chest where the tight feeling seems to be melted away by the warmth the cat is radiating. As soon as the suffocating feeling is gone from my chest i feel the fatigue set in, so i walk with the cat in my arms to my bedroom where i set it on the sheets and walk to my closet. Suddenly a thought hits me.

"What should i call you?"

I ask out loud since I apparently talk to cats no matter what my common sense tells me. Behind me the cat seems to perk it's head up, listening attentively.

"first the gender, are you male?"

I just had a feeling that this strange cat wouldn't tolerate me checking myself. I hear a hiss from behind me. I take that as a 'no'

"Female then"

no reaction

"How about Tora?"

a hiss. I guess it doesn't really fit

"How about… Midori?"

I turn around and the cat has it's head tilted like it's thinking, then it lays back down like a human would say 'yeah sure'. I chuckle at it's laziness and pulls my shirt over my head. When i'm out of the shirt and again able to see the cat has turned around, like an embarrassed human girl. my smile grows into a smirk.

"getting shy now kitty?"

i ask and get in my pyjamas. Then i move towards the bed lay under the sheets. the cat moves up and lays next to my head on it's side, looking at me with those intelligent eyes. I reach my hand out and pets it under the ear, then i feel the sleepiness taking over.


Midori's POV

As i lay there on the silky sheets i feel an immense amount of what hokage-sama called happiness. He looks so peaceful and his warm hand still resting on my neck. This boy's kindness is still a mystery to me. When i first saw him I thought he looked so alone in the crowd with no one around him he really stood out. So i followed him, out of curiosity and lack of better stuff to do. Well i'm glad i did he looked really happy when i came back, maybe I didn't do a good enough job of making sure he knew i would.

then i close my eyes and i feel myself fall asleep to Sasuke's steady breathing.


AN:

So there you are the first real chapter. Now Midori has a name and permission to stay in the village. Soon she will meet Sasuke as a human. Yay!

Anyways stay safe bye!
