Alright people! Chapter 2 is up!

Kakashi: You're not going to hurt me are you?

Loser-in-training: Now why would I do that?

Kakashi: Well, I don't know, maybe because you're an evil witch!

Loser-in-training: Am not!

Kakashi: Are too!

Loser-in-training: Am no-

Sasuke: Would you two just shut up already!?!!!

Kakashi, Loser-in-training: Ok! Jeez, have a fit!!

Chapter 2

'Damn! They almost caught me.' thought Eirwen, as she cautiously transferred through another wall.

If those goons hadn't been so suspicious, she might have gotten some time alone to deliver her message. If she didn't deliver it soon, Raiden wouldn't be too happy.

Shifting into a comfortable position against a cupboard in the strange room, Eirwen's mind drifted to her past.

FLASHBACK++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Come on Shin! I'm gonna beat you!" a small, but cheerful Eirwen ran through the quickly falling snow.

"Wait, don't leave me!!! Please wait up Eirwen! I'm coming!" Shin panted heavily as he tried to catch up with his overly energetic friend.

As soon as Shin slowed his pace to where Eirwen stood, she looked as if she was ready to take off again.

'Oh no, not again.' he thought bitterly.

Instead, Eirwen darted off to her left, trampling through newly fallen snow. Knowing that if he did not go with her, she would just wander, so Shin ran after her.

Quickly he found her crouched in the snow in front of what would look like a warehouse to a normal person, but to the experienced eye, it was a place of complete and utter terror. Eirwen paid no attention to the looming building in front of her. Her attention was focused on the object clutched tightly in her small hand.

It was a ninja scroll from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, judging from the dead ninja beside it.

The snow had stopped falling, and everything was still. Eirwen instinctively reached for her shiruken, as did Shin. Out of nowhere a whirlwind of leaves graced their presence and the third Hokage appeared.

"Hello young children," he said, surveying the area around him, "did you have anything to do with this?" Also eyeing their weapons.

"No sir, we had seen something lying there, but we didn't do anything." Eirwen calmly stated.

Shin was amazed by her confidence, but realized that her eyes did show a hint of fear.

The Hokage smiled warmly and politely asked, "Where do you young ones live? I'm sure your parents are worried sick about you."

Shin looked uncertainly toward Eirwen, looking for reassurance. She just shrugged her shoulders and nodded softly. "We don't have parents, they…..well, they…..they didn't want…..us." Shin trailed off, stuttering slightly.

"We live on our own, traveling all the time." Eirwen added.

"Eirwen is good at survival and fighting,--"

"And Shin's a good cooking and keeping me out of trouble."

"Well, since you have nowhere to go, would you like to come to my village and get out of this cold? We have plenty of room in our village, you wouldn't be much trouble." Making gestures as he explained.

"Well, we'll have to talk it over first in a meeting. Come one Shin, we need a plan." Eirwen shuffled through the snow to a nearby rock. Shin quickly followed.

"Ok, do you think we should go Shin? I mean we always hear about how nice the Leaf Village is, so maybe it would be nice to live someplace new." Eirwen commented, eyes shining.

"Yeah, ok. As long as we don't get separated, I don't know what I 'd do with you around Eirwen."

"Ditto."

ENDFLASHBACK+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Eirwen chuckled softly at the memory. It was happy, but it didn't last long, however, as the nine-tailed fox came and destroyed half the village, including Shin.

Footsteps could be heard above and so could the smell of ramen noodles with eggs. 'A restaurant and maybe even a bar. This must be the cellar, where they keep the stock rooms and storage.' She wondered.

Eirwen scrunched herself harder against the cupboard, hoping, no, praying that it wouldn't break. She wasted too much energy phasing through the walls that she would probably kill herself now.

Boxes shifted next to her, and then they stopped. She held her breath in fear of being caught. Suddenly, a hand reached down next to her and pulled up, dragging her along with it. The man in the cellar glared at her, and then a second later, hollered up to the cashier, "Hey Osamu, I found a stowaway!"

Struggling to wrench herself away from the burly man's grip, she knew it was useless. She was weak, and they knew it. If they saw her face at all, someone would surely recognize her as the intruder at the hospital.

Bowing her head down low as the light filtered from the cellar, the whole room seemed to become quiet. The man loosened his grip on her arm, and she automatically freed herself and stepped aside.

'I've got to get out of here!' Eirwen thought quickly, 'Who knows what's going to happen if they find out who I am!'

Scared that they would see her face as they tried to look through her string of curls, Eirwen reached above her and yanked her hood down. Two shadows approached and even before they spoke, she knew who they were.

"Eirwen, what are you doing here? You should…you should be in bed." The clear voice of Tsunade sliced through her panicking thoughts.

"Yes, come with us Eirwen, the Hokage has been expecting you, if you're up to going." This voice was familiar but seemed not too happy about the situation.

'Well, this is Tsunade; she does have the strangest of friends.'

The cashier and the man from the cellar stared blankly at her before realizing who she was.

"What! You know her? Maybe you should keep track of this one; she seems to get into more trouble than the rest of your friends."

"Will do, come on Eirwen. We can't keep the Hokage waiting."

Raising her face to her hero, Tani smiled at the man next to her. She then walked confidently toward them, while still keeping an eye on her surroundings.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Tsunade and the man stopped. Turning around to ask why they stopped, Eirwen found that they had disappeared.

'Oops. I guess I do owe Raiden that one. If he hadn't made those clones, she would be dead already.' Eirwen thought sheepishly.

Taking her chance of freedom, she camouflaged herself in the shadows of the night, taking the hint that Raiden had made. Kakashi was resting in the Hokage's office. He can hide, but she will always find him. Always.

Well, that's the end of Chapter 2! I know it was long, and chapter 1 was short, but I will make up for it!!

Kakashi: You're going to kill me aren't you?!!

Loser-in-training: Well, I would like to……holds up hands in defense….but you're the star of the story along with Eirwen. If I killed you, there would be no point in the story!

Kakashi: sigh Well, that's was a close one…..I almost killed you.

Loser-in-training: Oh, like you could. smirking

Kakashi: shows sharigan eye Wanna bet?

Loser-in-training: Well, actually now that you think of it, I don't think I want to.
