Chapter 02: Intruder!!
Hospital__________________________________________________
The Hokage walked behind the doctor known as Himitsu Kichi while holding Kirei in his arms. They stopped at the end of a hallway and the doctor took out the key that was attached to the clipboard. He opened the door to reveal a white room (surprise, surprise!) with a bed that looked like a stretcher except, the bed looked more comfortable. The doctor took Kirei from the Hokage's hands and placed her gently on the bed. He walked over to the left side of the bed and pushed a red button.
"Is it possible to send any of our special examiners to room F1E108?" there was a short pause "Yes. Thank You." He looked up at the Hokage and said
"We will wait for about one minute but when everyone is settled I'm going to have to ask you to leave the room,"
The Hokage nodded his head in response.
"While we wait can you explain to me how you found her?"
So he did and the author decided not to repeat it because she was being lazy. After the Hokage finished his side of the story, the doors opened revealing two females and one male doctor. The Hokage bowed and turned towards Himitsu
"How long would this take?" he asked hiding any signs of emotions.
"About 3 hours at most. You can go back to your office and we will send someone over to tell you-"
"No," he didn't even finish is sentence, "I will be waiting outside," he bowed then walked out.
He looked for a place to sit and noticed a bench near by. He calmly walked there and sat down. He sighed. He was getting too old for this. The Hokage was reliving old memories of his time with the five year old girl. He smiled when he remembered the first time they met…
FLASHBACK
"Heh heh heh! My secretary would never find me here!" Sarutobi said smirking. He was currently hiding in a secret part of the Hokage monument, the fourth Hokage's nose. He was hiding from something that could kill even the most skilled ninja if it got out of hand: PAPER WORK. He laughed while voicing his thoughts
"At least now I won't face that dreaded demon!" He started laughing harder until he felt a presence. He scanned the area before he laid eyes on the cutest girl he has ever seen. He wanted to pinch her cheeks until they were red. She smiled at him with her tanned skin glowing slightly and her long golden blonde hair blowing due to the fact that they were in a mountain. Her eyes were crystal blue and her clothes were black capri pants with a plane white t shirt.
"Old man, I think it would be best if I helped you down the mountain since you're going crazy, plus," her smile broadened, "I don't even think you could walk down let alone climb down without breaking a bone in your body." She finished innocently after about one minute of silence they both began laughing.
END FLASHBACK
Those were the times when paper work was all he needed to worry about. Now a day, villagers think that they could take the law into their own hands by beating a little girl senseless. Sarutobi thought back at her first assassin attempt. She was only one year old at the time. By two years old, she already had about ten assassination attempts. That is when Sarutobi had had enough. He decided to add a new law banishing people to assassinate members of the village, but that just made them angrier. At three years old, she received her first beating by the orphanage of course and it never stopped the people who beat her always varied. What Sarutobi needed was someone who could take care of her or even bring her out of the village, he didn't care who at the moment he just wanted her to be safe.
In Kirei's mind space…______________________________________
There was this dead silence. Kirei didn't move, Kyuubi's ear twitched and the wind ruffled their long hair. Kyuubi sat down and perked her ears as if she was waiting for Kirei to start. Kirei shifted nervously in her seat. She was debating with herself. She suddenly looked at the blanket on the ground as if it was the most interesting thing ever. They sat in silence for over an hour. Kyuubi was a patient person but this was stupid,
"Oi! Are you going to answer me?" Kyuubi said with a large amount of annoyance. Kirei's shoulders visually slumped and she began fidgeting in her seat. Kyuubi sighed, "Fine, you don't have to. We will wait until you are ready got it? Now let's begin with your training. What should you learn from me?"
Kirei instantly perked at the thought of training with nee chan. She smiled a smile that would rival Lee's and that was saying something. Unbeknownst to Kirei, Kyuubi did not tell her that she could hear and see all Kirei's surroundings if the mind seal was ever broken. If Kirei were unconscious, she would still be able to hear and see what was going on but couldn't help until Kirei broke the mind seal she set up. Kyuubi was secretly listening to what was going on in the examination room. She smirked and began to laugh evilly in her mind
'Don't tell me now, I will find out later!' she thought darkly and began that creepy and eerie smile evil people do when they plan things,
"Nee Chan, what is the matter?" a frightened Kirei asked, while Kyuubi was musing, a strange glint appeared in her eyes causing an evil aura to surround her. It was as if she was a mad scientist who discovered her experiment did its job.
"Nee Chan? Are you okay, you look scary," Kirei said quietly, shaking in fear in the process. Kyuubi snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at the shaking girl
"Hun? Oh sorry Kirei, I was just thinking about how I should train you!" Kyuubi replied smiling. This seemed to calm the little girl down since she let out a breath she didn't even no she was holding. Kyuubi studied the little girl's body in order to figure out what type of fighter she would be.
'We could work on ninjutsu while working on her speed. Her body is small so it could work out plus the great amount of chakra she has.' Kyuubi thought.
"Alright little one, first things first, do you know what chakra is?"
"Hmmm…" Kirei said, her right hand was balled up into a fist which lay on top of the palm of her left hand. Her face was scrunched up cutely and Kyuubi had to suppress a loud "KAWAII!!"
"Yes I do know what chakra is," Kirei continued and got out of her thinking position, "I learnt it in this book it was called 'The Basics of the Ninja Way for Idiots' and it helped a lot!" she finished with her foxy grin. Kyuubi couldn't help but smile too; it was contagious when the little blonde girl did it.
"When did you learn how to read?" Kyuubi asked, it was true that she could see and hear everything Kirei should but the mind seal was only unlocked when she was in the hospital with the Hokage carrying her. Still, this girl was always filled with surprises,
"Well, I was only allowed to enter the library so I began looking at picture books and then the alphabet books with the animals and I guess I just learnt from that," Kirei shrugged. "But that is not important at the moment since you said you would train me!" she squealed cheerfully which cause Kyuubi to groan,
"I'll teach you how to mold chakra got it?" but Kyuubi got was a very enthusiastic nod from her little sister.
'This will take a while' Kyuubi thought grimly.
In a place where Southeast Asia should be______________________
"Did you feel it again daughter? There was a change in the wind coming from her direction, it must be getting stronger for us to feel it down here" replied a man with big brown eyes and raven colored hair. He was wearing a white cloak with the hood down and in his hand was a long staff. At the end of the staff was a glowing blue orb. He was currently in a field with long grass that was blowing in every direction. Diagonally from him, stood a 15 year old girl who was wearing a dark brown cloak that covered her face and every part of her body,
"Yes father, it must be that time goodbye father I will be back soon," she said bowing then turned around to leave, but then her father said something that caused her stop in her tracks,
"It will take you about a week to get there and be careful, if anything happens to you please abort the mission and come back home. I know you are the best warrior the village has to offer but that doesn't stop you from being my daughter. Come back in one piece with her and then commence the second part of your mission, the hardest part. It is not the second part of the mission that worries me but the first part. Your journey will be a treacherous one. With bandits and ninjas coming to attack you, are you sure you can handle it?" He looked questionably at the cloaked girl,
"Of course father, I learned from the best! I will be off now," she said while turning around and walking on the path beside the big grass field. Her father sighed then looked at the sky mumbling a prayer that the wind carried away,
"Please be careful," were his last words before the orb stopped glowing and the man disappeared.
Hospital__________________________________________________
The examination room door opened which showed a stern looking Himitsu Kichi,
"Hokage-sama, it seems we are done the examination you can enter now," he said. Sarutobi stood up slowly; he was an old man after all.
"Thank you Himitsu-san," he said while walking towards the door. Himitsu opened it wide enough for both men to walk in.
The Hokage glanced around the room and looked at everyone's face. One woman was sneering at Kirei and the other pitied her while the man looked impassive. Himitsu walked pass the Hokage and stood next to the man while looking at Kirei's sleeping figure. Kirei no longer was wearing the bloody clothes but a hospital garb.
"Hokage-sama, we examined the girls' health and she seems fine. Physically all her broken bones were healed and ribs mended. The pieces of skin were all re attached. She lost a lot of blood so we are pumping some through her at the moment. The scars on her face were healed but what was strikingly odd was the fact that they turned black. They don't look like scars but rather marks. I have come to the conclusion that these are emotional scars turned physical. The more emotional pain she receives the bigger the marks on her cheeks get. So far they are about 1.5 to 2 inches long and I think they are growing. That led us to believe what would cause something like that?" He paused for effect.
"Either someone close to her has betrayed her or she was violated." Sarutobi stiffened at that part he glanced back at Kirei who was still sleeping soundly on the bed. She looked like she didn't have a care in the world. Himitsu decided to continue,
"So we decided to check if she was raped and she was. In between her legs was a lot of blood indicating someone forced entry. I will not go into details, furthermore; it is safe to say that she was beaten pretty badly and if you had not found her she would be dead. Her wounds were healed and she was cleaned properly. She should wake up in two to three days." It was quiet after his speech since Sarutobi decided to absorb the information he got.
"Thank you everyone for all you have done but you all deserve a break. I hope I didn't distract you from your original duty." He said as normal as possible.
"Not at all Hokage-sama for this is our job to help the citizens of Konohagakure," Himitsu added a "Ja ne" and left with the man and the two women. Sarutobi sighed and took the seat next Kirei's bed. He said one thing before he poofed off
"I will find out who did this and they will be severely punished with or with out your help Kirei." he said with pure determination then an audible poof was heard.
Kirei's Mind_______________________________________________
To say Kyuubi was pissed would be an understatement. After the information she received from the hospital from this Himitsu person, she was ready to tear down Konoha again but this time with no survivors. It seems little Kirei noticed her sensei slash Nee Chan's distress.
"Mou, Nee Chan? Are you okay?" Kirei asked. She was currently molding chakra to climb up the tree she thought of for training when she noticed the immense killing intent seeping from Kyuubi. Kyuubi turned her head so quick, it looked like she snapped it and gazed at Kirei before cancelling her killing intent and smiled softly at her,
"Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong! Just go back and run at trees okay?" Kyuubi forced a smile and Kirei bought it. Kirei turned back to her tree finished molding the chakra and charged only to…
BAM!
…Hit the tree dead on. Kyuubi dead panned before running towards her. Kirei slowly got up and rubbed her forehead. Kyuubi was standing right in front of her when she slapped her at the back of her head to worsen the damage the tree did,
"BAKA! You are supposed to climb the tree not run into it!" Kyuubi yelled. Kirei thought while rubbing her head 'At least she isn't upset anymore like earlier! I don't want her to not be happy…'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One week went by and Sarutobi visited Kirei every morning and after his duties as the third Hokage. He was worried about Kirei since Himitsu said she would wake up in two or three day. It's been a week and then only thing he noticed was that she was perfectly healed and her tanned skin was perfectly tanned. He sighed when he looked at the clock.
'5 am, time to visit my granddaughter' he thought. He poofed from his office and was in the same chair he sat in every day this week. Today was the 8th day he's been here. SO, Sarutobi was sitting in the chair when Himitsu walked in with a clip board he wasn't surprised to see the Hokage there,
"Good Morning Hokage-sama," Himitsu bowed "I've come to check on Kirei since it was a week since the incident and she still hasn't woken up," the Hokage nodded grimly while Himitsu walked towards the bed when he heard a shuffling noise. The Hokage nearly fell out of his chair and Himitsu almost dropped the clip board. Right in front of there eyes was Kirei, yawning rubbing her eyes and the first thing she said was,
"Mou, I don't smell any ramen? I'm hungry!"
Kirei opened her eyes and blinked at the sight. Himitsu was looking like a fish gaping while Jiji was beaming with a hint of shock in his features.
"So where is the ramen?"
MINUTES LATER-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hokage chuckled as she demanded another bowl. They were still in the hospital room and nurse after nurse ran back and forth getting ramen. Currently she was on her seventh bowl and growing. After her tenth bowl, she didn't ask for more, instead, she cried fake tears and clutched her head saying
"IT HURST A LOT YOU LIAR!!!"
Everyone looked at this crazy girl in front of them. The Hokage motioned everyone save Himitsu to leave. The two men looked at Kirei who was still crying and clutching her head and mumbling
"Liar, you said it wouldn't! Liar, liar, liar!"
Himitsu walked up to Kirei with glowing green hands and healed her head. The pain had stopped but Kirei kept crying, Himitsu hugged her and asked her softly like a mother would (which is weird since he is a guy) and asked
"What's the matter, it is okay, you can tell me anything, after all, I am now your new doctor," Kirei stopped crying and looked at the man who held her. He was rather normal but that didn't bother her, he cared and that was exactly what mattered.
"Really, you are?" Kirei asked timidly.
"Of course," was the heartfelt reply "and maybe I could adopt you if it was okay with the Hokage," She smiled a true smile and thought
'I passed out and wake up realizing that I might have a family!'
The Hokage looked at this scene and smiled, he was wondering what would happen to Kirei after she woke up to find this information.
"But when and why?" were all the words that came out of her mouth. The Hokage who was sitting down soughed and there heads turned towards the noise
"Let me explain"
FLASHBACK
"Hokage-sama," Sarutobi looked up from his paper work. It was the third day and Kirei still hadn't woken up. There standing in front of him was Himitsu Kichi with a determine look in his eyes.
"Is there something wrong with Kirei?" he asked warily, he didn't want another problem with his granddaughter her being beaten and raped and not waking up was enough.
"Au contraire, Hokage-sama I came here so I can get to know Kirei better," the Hokage raised a brow,
"What for?"
"I wish to adopt her." The Hokage gave a care to explain look and Himitsu proceeded,
"I want to protect her. No one deserves to be treated in such a way. Even with a demon sealed inside of her, that won't stop me from protecting and loving those who need it."
The Hokage thought for a moment before standing up and opening a drawer behind him. He pulled out Kirei's file and handed it to Himitsu before sitting back down and taking out his pipe. He took a long drag before saying
"Would you like to here a story?" Himitsu looked at the Hokage and nodded. He had a feeling it was related to Kirei so he agreed. The Hokage told him how they met and several pranks she did in order for him to let her wear the hat. There was laughter and tears all throughout Sarutobi's office. When it died down Himitsu was handed papers and signed them instantly.
END FLASHBACK
"What was on the papers?" Kirei asked curiously,
"Information on you and me," replied Himitsu. Kirei looked back at him and asked "What for?" she asked hiding her nervousness. Himitsu looked down at her and smiled "Adoption," and at that instant he was in a bone crushing hug from his daughter All the Hokage heard was
"Toutou! Toutou! Arigatou Tou-san!" she said crying tears of joy. After several minutes of this, the Hokage asked Kirei why she was crying. She let go of her Toto and looked at Sarutobi and explained to him her meeting with Kyuubi and the training.
"She said that if I couldn't master chakra control, I wouldn't be able to wake up! So I practice and never got tired once. I had asked her why I didn't die of exhaustion but she said that I'm in my mind and when I wake up all the pain would feel like a small head ache and you know the rest," she pouted. They laughed. At first they were shock to find out about Kyuubi being a girl and a sexy one at that. They were also shocked to find out that Kirei mastered chakra control.
"What do you mean by master chakra control?" the Hokage asked,
"Low chunnin level," was the reply. So where were we? Ah yes, they were surprised that she got up to low chunnin level and they were surprised that she wasn't planning on committing suicide because of all the pain she endured. They talked for a while on where she would be living and when she would move until the door burst open,
"Hokage-sama! There is a stranger in a dark brown cloak demanding that she spoke to you about the Forth's Legacy and Mai Uzairu's daughter! She also says that nothing will stop her from taking Kirei away!" shouted Kotetsu one of the Hokage's personal helpers everyone stopped moving and the Hokage sat here debating, he finally said
"Bring me to her and on the way explain to me what happened. This must be very grave if she new of Kirei's mom…" Kirei sat there, shaking,
"My mom?"
Nananananananananana…lalalalalalalalalalala…AT peace, become one…hommmmmmmmmmmm
