DISCLAIMER: Forgot to say this last time, but I do NOT own Naruto… I don't even completely own Ta… oops, almost gave away her name…


Chapter 2

Are You Really the Kazekage?


? POV

"I see you made it here…" a mysterious voice said to me.

I turned on my heels as fast as I could in order to see who it was, but by the time I had turned in a 180° angle, whoever was there, was gone…

"Miss, you have to wait before going inside. We're leaving so as soon as you're told you can go in, go into the tower."

"Okay, sir."

Later

Finally, after what seemed to be hours of waiting, I was allowed into the building. Although I got into the building, when I reached the door to the Kazekage's office, I had to wait.

While waiting, I heard a noise. I decided to listen to what was going on in the office. Carefully, I gently placed my ear to the office door and waited for the sound vibrations to echo through the room, to the place I was now standing.

I waited, but not too long before I heard someone say words that I did not understand for the door muffled the voices. Shortly after, there was a 'thud', almost as if someone had carried a heavy box and dropped it abruptly on the wooden floor. But the sound told me it was something heavier than a box…

"Come in…" A voice came from the room.

As I entered through the door, I saw a girl dragging a body out of the room. I only got a small glimpse of it, but I was sure the body had a head protector with the sound symbol engraved into it.

The girl came back in shortly after removing the body from the center of the floor, and she proceeded to clean the blood stains from the floor, walls, ceiling, etc. Her facial expression wasn't what I thought it would be. She didn't show any emotion towards the fact that she was cleaning up blood. So of course I assumed she was a ninja and used to blood, little did I know then that she was used to cleaning the blood of 'victims' of the most powerful ninja in Suna, the Kazekage.

I looked about the room, but I saw no trace of the Kazekage. The only thing actually referring to the Kazekage within the room was a wall with pictures of the former and current Kazekages. I scanned over the portraits, but stopped as my eyes went over the last one. It showed a man with brown hair, barely noticeable under the hat that I assume Kazekages wear. He appeared in his late thirties or early forties, so I new it was possible for him to have kids, possibly even around my age.

I looked about the room, seeing the many books about the room on the shelves, and a few on the desk. Still, the girl was cleaning, but of course I didn't know who she was. I decided not to ask since she didn't look like one who would answer.

As I was wondering how many times the girl had cleaned up blood from the floor, since she appeared to be getting it out of the crevices quite easily, the chair behind the desk spun around revealing something, or I should say someone, I didn't expect.

Now sitting behind the oak table with papers scattered over it was a boy, not a man, but a boy who couldn't be any older than me. He had red hair that reminded me of the flames that rise high above the ground in a fire. His eyes were that of the sea, looking into the distance and yet straight in front of him. They were filled with murderous intent, at the same time, they were so sad. On his forehead was what at first I thought was a tattoo, but I shortly realized it was a scar.

"What do you need here?" a monotone voice questioned sending tingles down my spine.

"I would like to become a citizen of Suna…" I stated hiding my fear, careful not to stutter.

"Fine. We'll discuss this in privacy…"

The girl that was cleaning immediately got up and closed all of the doors except one, she then left, making sure that the last door was shut on her was out. I could have sworn she locked the doors, but I said nothing about it.

"Well, first I will need you to state your name…"

"Uchiha Tally desu."

"Uchiha… Tally…?"

"Hai," I confirmed so that he will know that I was not joking.

"Tally!" the boy yelled, but this time with a different voice. It wasn't an extremely high voice; it just had that slight hint of being a girl's voice… (The voice kinda sounded like Paku Romi's voice if you know who she is…)

"Huh?" by know I didn't fully understand what was going on.

"Oh… Wait," the boy said, again with the strange voice, and a puff of smoke surrounded him. As the smoke began to fade away, I was asked, "Do you remember me?"

Once the smoke was completely gone I could see his face, or I should say her face! I was speechless, I couldn't even conjure up a 'yep' or an 'of course'. I was frozen, not able to even think. My brain was in such shock that I almost stopped breathing.

"Tally, Tori Shiro desu! Remember?"

I looked at the girl now standing in front of me. She had a rounded face that made her pug nose look cute instead of big like on that one ANBU(he had removed his mask for less than 5 seconds, but that was enough for me to see his ugly face with sweat rolling down… very disturbing). Her hair was cut short, but still had a long enough length to put up into a ponytail. I would describe her as being an image of winter… even if I hate winter; I thought that she looked so cute. Her hair was that of pure snow, except for it had streaks of blood red, giving the image of an assassination in the middle of winter. Her skin was so pale that it had something of a resemblance to frost. Her eyes, I can't explain them, not because there are no words to describe them, but because at times they are a crystal blue, making you think you are staring strait into her soul and her into you. Other times, they have the appearance of fire warming you when nothing else will, chasing away Jack Frost so that he can nip at you no more.

"Shiro-chan?!?! It's been…" I began to say, but was cut off.

"About eight years…"

"That long? What happened while I was gone? You look a lot different… Your hair used to be down to your knees and it used to be pure white… Did you get highlights in it or something? And I need proof that you're who you say you are…"

"In order, yes it has been that long. The Uchiha clan was killed except for you, Itachi, and Sasuke, I moved to Suna for special reasons. I cut my hair so that it's easier to fight. And I didn't get highlights, it's natural…"

"Wait… what did you say?"

"It's natural?"

"Before that."

"It has been that long…?"

"After that."

"Uchiha clan was killed except for you, Itachi, and Sasuke?"

"No, no, no! Although that is good to know… Who killed them all?"

"Itachi…"

"Always thought he'd go bad… But the thing after that…"

"I cut my hair?"

"NO!!!! In the middle," I said gesturing with my hands.

"Oh, I moved to Suna for special reasons…"

"What 'special reasons'?"

"Afraid I can't tell you that…" Shiro said, smiling mischievously at me…

"Ok then, show me the proof you really are Shiro-chan…"

As soon as I asked this, she turned her back to me. She then revealed her shoulder blades, nothing more, nothing less. Upon her shoulder blades was an image that only she and I knew of. It was a birthmark of hers. It was the wings of a bird…


I hope that this was long enough (7 pages) as well as descriptive. Please tell me if you would like me to post a picture of Shiro on my profile… Well, please review Ja ne...
