Chapter 1
After Sarutobi telling me and also proven to me that this was in fact not a dream but real life I was stunned. Now, how the hell did I find myself here and for what? Surely me having a small crush on Kakashi couldn't be a reason for me being here. This was bizarre.
But that was not the only thing that was ridiculous. I couldn't tell Sarutobi my name or where I came from. Though I clearly remembered it I couldn't say it. Every time I tried to tell him something about what he had asked me no sound came out. How much I tried to produce words they wouldn't come out. He realized it, thank god for that small service, and told me it was fine. He had left soon after that knowing that he wouldn't get any information on where I'd come from and what I was doing here. He promised to be back later after trying to find out on how I came to be here. He had also made it quite obvious that he knew that I wasn't from this dimension.
I was still strapped to the bed, a security measure, the nurse who came in after Sarutobi told me. Apparently I had had a head trauma which was why I was in a hospital and not in a holding cell. She looked frightened, but I couldn't tell if that was because of me or the two anbu-guards lurking in the corners watching me suspiciously. Another security measure I'm sure. Even if I wanted to do something I wouldn't be able to, I couldn't throw a fist for my life. When there was fight I ran, I didn't fight. It wasn't that I was afraid, well, that too, but mostly it was because I couldn't bare pain. I cried like a baby every time I got hurt or even when others got hurt, the most horrifying about this that it could be any kind of pain, it wasn't necessary tangled with physical pain. My mother used to tell me that I was to empathic for my own good.
My mom. What would she say and do when she realized that I wasn't in my bed when she woke up? She would undoubtedly throw a hissy fizz and call the police. Maybe she would presume that it was the criminal who had abducted two other teenage girls a month ago.
The nurse left the room leaving me to look at the anbu-guards. One of the masks had a crow painted on it and the other had a spider on it. Although I couldn't remember having seen how they looked in the anime show or even if they had make an appearance yet, I remembered from my friends that those who wore masks were called Anbu. Apparently they were like the black ops.
That made me alarmed, they perceived as such a threat to Konoha that they had stationed not one but two Anbu in my room.
Under their watchful stares I fitfully went to sleep, hoping I would wake up in my own bed again.
"Ah, you're finally awake", said the third Hokage as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
He had returned and on his tail there were two other men. One of the men had blonde hair tied in a high ponytail and the other had black hair also put up but with strands poking out everywhere, both of them had sharp faces and they looked quite frightening. I gulped as I looked between the three newly entered men.
"Don't be afraid child, Inoichi-san here will determine whether or not we can trust you", Sarutobi said gesturing to the man with blonde hair.
"Um... And just how will he determine that?" I asked uncertain if this was really a good idea. It looked like he could eat me alive if he wanted!
"I know a technique that will let me go through your memories and see if I find anything that might be a concern."
My eyes widened. "See my memories? Every one of them?"
"Yes."
I gulped again, I knew there was a reason to be afraid of him. But I knew that this was something that had to be done, and if it would prove that I wasn't here to harm any of them then this would be for the best. I nodded carefully. "Will it hurt?"
Inoichi smiled reassuringly. "No, it will only hurt if you resist."
He then made some signs quickly and before I knew it he was in my head searching through my old memories. I could see myself as a little baby, held for the first by my mom in the hospital. My first day in kindergarten, the first time I fell from my bike and hurt my knee, the time when I broke my arm running from my friends in a game, my first awkward date a couple of weeks ago. Before I knew it he was out of my head and I finally relaxed my muscles that had tensed up at someone intruding my body.
"She's clear, though, I couldn't see what her name is. Only that it's like you presumed earlier. She's from another dimension like the case in Suna a couple of weeks ago."
"I assumed as much, very well, those did not either remember their names and they couldn't talk about their past as well", Sarutobi replied with a frown.
"What are you going to do with me?" I asked timidly. "Can I go home?"
The three men looked at me sadly and the black haired one shook his head no. "I'm sorry to say that we have not found out as to why you were sent here and that we don't know how to send you back. You're probably going to be here for a very long time."
What?! A very long time; as in forever? This couldn't be happening. I needed to go home. My mom would freak out! Oh god, and school. I have biology test next week I need to study for! I can't be here! I don't belong here; I'm not like them at all. They are ninjas and I'm just a normal girl from Stockholm who doesn't know a thing about ninjas! For God's sake! I've only watched Naruto for a couple of episodes!
The panic in my chest swelled and I felt my head go dizzy and my lungs started to hurt. Scared I looked up at the men. "I think I'm having a panic attack."
Seconds later two nurses rushed in, one diving straight for my arm with a needle and the other one trying to calm me down. The two anbu guards had moved to Sarutobi's sides in protection since I had started to freak out.
"Everything will be just fine", Sarutobi said reassuringly before I once again slipped into a fitful sleep.
When I woke up again it was just me and the two Anbu guards in the room though different ones than before I would guess because now there was wolf painted on one and a hawk painted on the other.
"You still here hanging around then?" I huffed.
I thought that we had cleared out the part where I was not dangerous. Apparently not. But to my great surprise one of the anbu guards answered.
"We will escort you to the hokage tower when you're dressed and have eaten."
"Oh, but where's my clothes?"
The anbu guard that had spoken gestured to the side of my bed where there were clothes on a chair. Well, of course, I thought blushing lightly. When I looked at the clothes I also realized that I no longer was bound to the bed. Huh, seems like they really trusted me now for some reason.
Slowly I lifted the covers from my legs and moved them to the side. They were aching from sleep since they hadn't been moved a lot. I moved my toes and pulled a grimace at the pain that extended throughout my legs. Lovely.
When I felt that I could stand up without falling down on my face I quickly took my clothes and entered the bathroom who was just located to the left of my bed to change out of the hospital gown. The clothes were simple, black top and pants, and I was thankful to see that they at least had bras here. Putting the clothes on I walked out to see food on the table in the room. Not wanting to delay any further I practically threw the food into my mouth before one of the anbu moved forward.
"I ask permission to carry you to the Hokage tower", the man with the wolf mask asked politely but I could hear how much he disliked being here.
I nodded not wanting to be a burden, I had seen how long those stairs were and him caring me would probably be the best and swiftest way up there. He moved forward and carefully lifted me into his arms, my arms automatically went around his neck and then he jumped out of the window and onto the roof.
Instantly my arms tightened before I remembered that this was his neck, probably not so comfortable to be strangled to death by a girl while carrying her. I blushed lightly at what I had been doing and closed my eyes instead of watching at how he easily jumped from roof to roof. If I could decide then I would never ever do this again. It was scary!
Some minutes later we finally stopped and I dared to open my eyes, ah, finally in the Hokage's office. Behind his desk Sarutobi sat with papers in front of him, he looked up as we entered and I slighlt wobbled when the anbu put me down. In the corner of the room I could see a black haired man who could have been at my age. He was dressed as an anbu and he kind of looked like an older version of Sasuke.
Gah. Just thinking of Sasuke made me angry somehow, like I had mentioned earlier I believed him to be a shady character. It felt like he was going to betray Naruto somehow and his indifference to everyone also made me tick.
"Ah. Now that you're here we're going to start with giving you a name", Sarutobi said gesturing to a chair in front of his desk.
I hesitantly sat down frowning. "How do we decide that?"
Without replying Sarutobi handed me a paper which I took in my hands. Reading I saw there was several names on the list, how I even could read the paper was a mystery but I wasn't about to think more of that. I was just glad that I could read it. Skimming down the paper there was only one name that I felt was right.
"Megumi."
