Chapter 2 Starting a new life

When I woke up I was in a office. The place was warmed and it smelled of bitter coffee. I almost gagged. Sitting up I notice Ibiki never left his spot. I moved and Ibiki looked up.

"Don't tell me you've been working all night?"

Ibiki smiled and said, "I won't tell you."

I smirked, "Smartass. Although you can't stay cooped up in here forever. Do you ever leave?"

Ibiki shrug. I took it as sometimes.

"If you did do you have a private place to work at?"

Ibiki looked up from his files and asked, "What makes you think I work while I'm in my private place?"

I gave him a look, "You were working while you were giving me a tour." He looked at me before he smiled.

"Okay so maybe I do work while I'm in my private area."

"Which is not healthy."

"So maybe I should take a break." Ibiki closed his files and stretched. They were loud popping sounds that made me flinched in disgust and I asked him not to do that again.

The village was huge from where I was standing. Ibiki said something about being on top of a mountain called Hokage Monument. The faces of the village leaders are put there. He told me that the fourth die sealing the Kyubbi inside a baby boy. I remember that day. So many people lost some many good people. It was sad and even sadder when two parents died on their son birthday, Minato and Kushina. It was even sadder when they had to watch their son suffer. I helped as much as I could to make sure the kid didn't die. Even though death probably would've been best for the child, he was destined to do great things.

"Iruka," Ibiki called.

"Huh," Oh very intelligent.

"You've been out of it." Ibiki seemed worried.

"It's nothing," Iruka tried to ignore that tingling sensation he was feeling. It usually meant that another angel was around. I really hope this angel didn't screw something up. Memories along with other memories of Earth kept coming up. I really hope I don't meet up with co-workers otherwise they'll either laugh at me or pity me.

I ready to leave, but there was something about this aura that made me stay. Looked around for it, I could tell Ibiki was curious but he chose not to say anything.

"So it was true," I turned and saw my friend Izumo he was an Angel just like me until he and another friend of mines broke a rule and was sentence to spend 30 years on Earth, even when the time pasted they didn't come back. "They really did do this to you." I tried to smile, but when he hugged me I burst into tears. I lost my home, my family, and friends. He was the one I could truly count on. "I can't believe this would happen to you no fair trial. They just banish you all because you were attack. Did you really mean what you said?"

"Every word," I said vehemently. I cooled down I realize something. "30 years have past, you and Genma still haven't returned to heaven."

Izumo laugh, "Silly Rue-chan, we didn't break the rule because we were curious, we did it because we fell in love." The rule in heaven is not to ever sleep with humans, because that's how half human, half angels are born. Except there was a loop hole in this one as in Izumo and Genma slept with men, so technically they didn't break the rule, but they were punished anyway. Just like me heaven was failing in good judgment.

"So where's Genma?" I asked looking around. It was only Ibiki and he seemed to have been staring into space, then it hit me. We're talking about heaven so his mind is shut down until we stop. "How are we going to explain how we know each other?"

"We won't," Izumo said shaking his head. "You supposedly don't have any memories so if we tried to act like you got your memories back just by looking at me, too many question would be ask and we wouldn't have any answers. So you're the new civilian I've been hearing about it's nice to meet." Izumo stuck his hand out.

I smiled as Ibiki started to come around. "It's nice to meet you too. Can you tell me what you are?"

Izumo laugh, "I'm not a what, but it's more of what I do. I'm a ninja."

I gasp, "You are too?"

Izumo nodded. I was genuinely surprised too.

"What do you do?"

Izumo shrug, he always does that, so what ever he did, didn't either interest him or didn't interest his audience.

"I usually guard the gates and work in the mission room and I go on mission sometimes. Other then that I'm a chunin and I'm not that active. You understand that much right."

I smile, "Yes Ibiki-san told me a lot so I remember that." Izumo nodded.

"Well I'm late for my shift I better get going; oh by the way my name is Izumo."

"And my name is Iruka. Maybe next time we can hang out." I smiled it was nice to have my friends around at least they had a reason not to save me. But now I was going to move on with my life. However I was curious. "Hey Ibiki."

Ibiki stared at me. "How come you call me Ibiki when nobody else is around?"

"That's because if I call you your first name without any honorifics others would try to get ideas."

Ibiki snorted. When I think about it nobody would try to undermine his authority.

"Anyways even though I'm not in any assort of trouble, what are they going to do to me?"

"If you're not consider a threat they'll most likely make you a citizen here. You'll be watched and given a place to stay."

"Oh, but if I'm being watch nobody is going to want to hire me. I was found at the base of your enemy homeland. For all they can say I'm an enemy." Ibiki was surprise that I came up with that conclusion. Well he did say I was near their enemy when the found me, but I have no power they call chakra and I'm probably from some Island because of my skin tone or maybe I was born that way.

"Normally we would think so too, but you have no kind of knowledge on ninjas and that uncommon for people not to know. So we can't say you're a ninja and you have a little to literally no chakra at all so you can't be a ninja. You're a civilian and if you're being watch it's just for the safety of the village."

"Oh, but that still doesn't help with a job."

Ibiki snorted, "If you want a job so badly, why don't you work for me. I could always use somebody to help me with filing and cleaning you can be my assistant. If I need heavy lifting or things from high places I'll get an ANBU to do it."

"Thank you," I jumped on him, there was an embarrass cough, and Ibiki sent a menacing cough."

Ibiki P.O.V

I was standing next to Iruka making sure he doesn't have slip of the tongue. He is an outsider, but the others see him as a problem. For right now.

"So, as I was told you have no form of memories, except basic colors and the fact that your people have abandoned you. Right?"

Iruka nodded. I sighed inwardly. I wasn't use to being outside in the daylight hours for so long so I didn't want to be out here any longer.

I guess you could say that the underground is my home.

"Ibiki told me that you now call yourself, Umino Iruka, why is that?" The Hokage looked genuinely curious and he looked like he grew to kind of like him. Just like me.

"Not only could I remember my name or for where I came from, I knew I didn't want to be called my old name. It wouldn't be so great if I had my old name in my new life."
"So what would happen if you got your memories back?"

"I wouldn't go to a place that left me to fiend for myself and I refused to go back only for it to happen again."

The Hokage smiled, "Well then in that case welcome to Konoha. This is your new home and I have a feeling you're going to enjoy your stay. I assigned you a small apartment now all you need is a job to keep it."

That was where I came in. "I offered him a job as an assistant for me. I always need all help around the office, so I asked him."

The Hokage frowned, but nodded, "Keep him a way from you interrogation and I'll approve."

"Of course Hokage-sama"

Iruka P.O.V

Ibiki had to go back to work so the ANBU called; Hound escorted me to my new home. I was giving enough money for clothes, food, and any other items furniture was already there, but I bought an extra futon just in cause I have company. Something told me I would.

"Ibiki-sama told me you were going to start your job next week at seven. Until then you'll have an escort."

I was irked at the fact I was going to be followed, I think hound knew too. "Will it be an ANBU?" Last thing I wanted was somebody with intimidating looks to follow me around.

"No it'll be a Junín?" I felt relieved because I wanted to make friends and not have people running away from me.

Okay here is my second chapter. I hope you like it. I got my poll up and now you can vote.
