Chapter 2

I woke up in unfamiliar surroundings. I sat up, suddenly realising that I wasn't in my normal clothes. I glanced at my hands, and to my relief, they were still gloved. I looked around. It was a plain, pale blue room, with glass sliding double doors. At the opposite side of the room to me was a picture on the wall of a cherry blossom tree. Sakura. Under that was another bed, which was lying against the wall. It was empty. Next to me was a small bedside table with a single flower in it. It was a daffodil. On the other side of my bed was a chair, and behind that chair was a plain brown door with a small square of blotchy glass. I'm in a hospital.

I tried to remember were I was, and how I got here. Then it all came flooding back. Itachi, mother, father, blood. Tears pricked at the back of my eyes threatening to leak out. But I still couldn't remember how I got here, or where here was. Surely I should have died. Those wounds were fatal!

I heard someone talking outside my room and immediately lay back down in the bed, turned and faced the window and pretended to be asleep. Someone came in the room.

"Terra?" Someone placed a hand on my shoulder. "Terra?" It sounded like a male voice. I sat up and turned round to see who it was.

"Kakashi?" I couldn't believe my eyes. I rubbed my eyes to see if what was happening was true. "Kakashi!" I hugged my brother tightly and he hugged me back. But the sudden movement of leaning over to him has caused me pain. I withdrew from his arms holding the place where my own blood had struck me. I grimaced in pain. "Where am I?" I asked, my breathe sharp and ragged.

"Konoha hospital" I looked at him with questioning eyes. As ever, Kakashi gave away no thoughts or feelings in those eyes of his. "A passing group heard the commotion and brought you back. They saw you unconscious against a tree and couldn't leave you there. Kiba carried you back."

"Kiba?"

"Yeah, he was the leader of the group on that mission. Hinata spotted you and Shino's bugs felt your presence."

"Oh okay" I muttered feebly. I knew what was coming next but I really didn't want to have to explain to my brother how I killed my own parents.

"Terra" Kakashi sighed, "You know they found mum and dad dead don't you" how could I forget? Tears pricked at my eyes but I refused to cry. "Terra, what happened?"

"You think I killed them don't you?" Kakashi just looked down. "Ever since we moved from that village because of who I am, so I could be taken away from the loneliness, so I wouldn't hurt anyone any more, you think it got out of control don't you?" Kakashi stayed silent. "Well, you're right. I killed them. But it wasn't because I got out of control" I looked at the wall straight ahead of me, while Kakashi lifted his head and looked at me. He had emotion in his eyes. Funny the first emotion I see in his eyes is anger. He rose from the chair he was sitting on and turned to go.

"How… how did you kill them?"

"With my blood" I had no emotion in my voice anymore. It's my fault they're dead, if only I was a little stronger, a little braver, I could have saved them.

"Show me" I looked at him. He had turned back round and was crouching by the bed. I stared at him.

"You…you don't think I did it?"

"No matter what you are…" he shook his head "You couldn't have done this" I couldn't say anything. My parents and Kakashi were the only ones that have never been afraid of me.

"Bring me a leaf" I said. He slid open the sliding doors and stepped out. He suddenly disappeared briefly and then reappeared on the balcony with a green leaf in his hand. He closed the doors walked back over to the chair and sat down. I propped myself up against my pillows and put my hand out. Kakashi looked at me.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I just smiled at him. This was going to be painful but I'm going to have to face up to it some day. Some how fake smiles just make it easier.

I looked at the wall straight ahead of me and closed my eyes. I placed the leaf in the middle of my forehead with my hand holding it in place. I recalled everything about that day, like it was only five minutes ago. Every little detail reappeared in front of my eyes. The leaf on my head started to glow a faint blue. Then I saw the one image that haunts me. Mum and dad, my blood, I can't do it, I don't want to remember. With the hand that was free I clenched the bed sheet. I was about to stop when I felt a hand on my own. That's right, Kakashi is my only family now, and I had to do what I could for him, no matter how much it hurt.

By the time I had finished seeing myself sit at the tree with blood pouring from my arm and stomach, I was shaking. I took the leaf from my head and handed it to Kakashi. He took the leaf from my shaking hand. He placed the leaf to his own head. The leaf glowed a faint blue. He had his eyes shut. I didn't want to see his reactions, so while he was watching my memory I got out of bed and walked to the window. I pushed back the sliding door and walked to the balcony. I looked over this bustling village. Everything was so strange to me.

Everyone was laughing and chatting merrily. I looked towards the back of the village where there was a huge rock face with five faces carved into it. Four men and a woman right at the end. The woman had a beauty about her, she looked young yet, even in the rock, her eyes looked like they knew more than they should. Just in front of that there was a small red building with the symbol of fire on it. Of course, I was in the fire country now. As I went back to just looking at all the people a certain group of people drew my eye. Oh, how I longed to be a part of that. To be someone normal…

They were Konoha and sand ninjas. The one that drew my eyes most was the red headed boy with a gourd on his back. Around him were two other sand ninja, one a girl with blonde hair and the other a boy dressed in black. The others were Konoha ninja. A blonde boy in orange was being really loud and making a fool of himself. There was a girl with pink hair next to him and a boy in blue with black hair. There were also others, a girl with blue hair and a girl with blonde hair and another girl with brown hair. A boy with a dog and a boy with a black short pony tail, another with a super bowl cut and on with long brown hair, there were two other boys as well, one eating packet after packet of potato chips and one with glasses and the bottom half of his face hidden by his coat.

I was just watching them laughing and having fun when the blonde boy pointed at me, they all started to turn to look at me but before they could say anything I was back inside. They had seen me, but not closely enough to notice anything major. I sat on the end of my bed hands in my head.

"You'll be out there with them soon" I turned and saw two women smiling at me with Kakashi standing next to them. I recognised one of the women as the one on the rock wall. I was right she did look young but her eyes were much older. The other woman had short black hair and was carrying a pig. "How are you feeling Terra" The woman with the blonde hair asked. I just stared at them blankly. "Oh!" She smiled at me "I'm sorry, I'm Tsundae, the Hokage of this village and this is Shizune my apprentice." The black haired lady – Shizune smiled at me. So that's why I had seen her on the rock face she was the leader of the village. Shizune began talking to me.

"You need to take it easy, that wound was pretty tricky to heal, and I had trouble doing it. I didn't know what could make that kind of wound, I've never seen it before" She stopped smiling at the site of my face. "I'm sorry" she apologised "I should have thought about what I was saying" I shrugged it off. It was going to be a lot like this from now on.

"So you're a medical ninja?" she looked at me surprised. She was obviously expecting me to break down and cry.

"Yeah, I am, I learnt everything from Tsunadae" I looked at the Hokage. She didn't look very talented, but I, above all people understand how well looks can deceive.

"Well I guess since your in charge you have to know what happened, right?" I questioned. All three of them stopped smiling and began to look serious. Kakashi started talking.

"Listen, Terra, Tsunadae and Shizune have to know what happened, they are in charge of this village and have to know what to prepare for"

"If you think I'm planning on staying here, you're wrong" I stared at Kakashi. I could tell he was wounded by what I just said. "Calm down I'm only joking!" I smiled broadly. Tsundae whispered under her breath.

"How can she smile so broadly at a time like this?"

"Kakashi, they can use the leaf." I put my hands in my lap and started to fiddle with my fingers. I looked downwards not wanting to meet the gaze of the three adults

"Are you sure?" I could feel him looking at me, but I wouldn't look at him.

"Leaf?" said Tsundae looking confused.

"Here" Kakashi handed the leaf to Tsunadae. "Place it in the middle of your forehead, keep your hand on it, close your eyes, and focus on the leaf being there" Tsunadae did what she was told. When she had finished she handed the leaf to Shizune without saying a word.

Once all the adults were done talking to me, they left me to get changed. Before they left I asked Shizune a question.

"Excuse me, um, Shizune-chan?" she turned round and looked at me with a sympathetic look on her face "Do you know who gave me the daffodil?"

"Yes! That was Sakura; you'll meet her once you have got changed. She is also a medical Ninja, Kakashi taught her for a while then Tsundae-sama took her on. She is looking forward to meeting with you" She smiled at me and I smiled back. She left shutting the door behind her saying "Kakashi, will meet you out here in fifteen minutes"
