Hana's eyes fluttered open as she awoke to the sounds of birds. She shot up, not remembering where she was and looked around cautiously but soon yesterdays events came flowing back into her mind.
Man, we really needed that rest! yawned Hana's other.
Hana mentally rolled her eyes at her other. She swung her feet out of the bed she was in only to find a person uderneath them. He must've let me sleep on his bed. I'll have to thank him when he gets up.Hana glanced down to look at the snoozing Naruto and stifled a giggle. Wow. I can't believe he still wears that hat to bed! Hana thought as she smiled, remembering the many times she had spent the night in Naruto's room at the orphanage. He would ask her to stay with him after a day of the villagers giving him a hard time. Hana stepped over the sleeping figure and found her way to the kitchen. Gross. I'm gonna have my work cut out for me when I clean this place up. thought Hana as she pinched her nose at the smell of rotten milk. Hana caught a glimpse of herself in a miror and stared at herself. Oh. My. God. Hana thought in horror, I'm a complete mess! I need to find work so that I can get money to buy some clothes. Well I'll just have to ask Naruto for some money so that I can at least buy a new outfit and some cleaning supplies. Hana poked her head back into Naruto's room and noticed he was still asleep. She also noticed a rather fat frog-wallet laying on a table. Hana smiled evilly, took what she thought as enough money and snuck out of the apartment. I hope not to many people are up. I don't want to be seen like this! thought Hana as she turned the corner. Her eyes met with a sign that boasted 'The best trends around! And it will fit your budget!' Hana pushed open the store door and smiled with glee. She'd have to remember this place for when she came shopping later. Hana picked through the clothes rack untill she found something she liked and she whisked off to the fitting room. She stepped out a minute later and looked at herself in the mirror. Oh, I'm liking this! she thought happily to herself. Hana had on a pair of black, short ninja shorts and a tight blue tank top that zipped down the middle. She walked over to the clothes rack again and grabbed a simple white under shirt to go with the tank top that way ahe could have it unzipped a little. Hana went to the clerk, a man reading a magazine at the checkout desk and politely asked him to ring up what she was wearing. She paid the man and thanked him as she put her pajamas into a bag he had given her. Hana had also bought a pair of plain black flip flops to replace the slippers she had been wearing.
She stepped out of the store, feeling much better now that she was wearing clean clothes. "Next stop, cleaning supplies and food." Hana said to herself. Her good mood was suddenly ruined as she caught sight of an old man leering at her. Hana clenched her fists and marched up to him and slapped him, "Old men like you should be at home with thier wives, not staring at young girls!" scolded a fuming Hana. "I was gathering data for my book!" said the man as he pushed his 'novel' in her face. Hana stared at the book in disgust. She remembered smacking Haru on the head with it after catching him reading it. Haru. She thought sadly. Close to tears Hana's glare began to waver as she started to walk away. "I don't need this right now." she said to the man but more to herself. The old man gave her an odd look but skipped off to the baths, the women's bath that is. Hana spent the rest of her shopping with a cloud above her head and made her way back to Naruto's, hoping she could mask her emotions as to not make Naruto worry.
------------------------------3 hours later-----------------------------------
Naruto's nose woke him up. As he drifted through the door way, floating on the heavenly smell Hana couldn't help but laugh. Naruto came out of his trance and looked around the apartment in awe. "H-Hana-chan, did you do this?" asked Naruto. Everything sparkled it was so clean and Naruto could actually see his floor. He also noticed there was no stench. "Yup.", replied Hana cheerily, "but I did have to borrow some of your money though." She tossed him his wallet, Naruto looked inside, shocked. "Where did you go? You barely spent any money!" exclaimed Naruto. "Well, I bought this," Hana gestured to her new clothes, "and I bought papertowles, cleaning spray, a duster, a mop, and some food. I got the clothes at a bargain shop and the food and supplies at a small store on the corner near that one flower shop." Naruto sniffed the air once more, "Did you cook something? It smells great!" said Naruto as he began to drool. "Yes, I did cook.You know, I am a baker." stated Hana as she began piling heaps of food onto a plate for Naruto. Naruto looked at it with interest, "Um, what is this Hana-chan?" Hana rolled her eyes, "Those are crepes, Naruto-kun." Naruto still had a confused look on his face, " They're a Parisian delicacy." Naruto still didn't know what they were, "Look they're good! Just try it, ok?" pleaded Hana. Naruto took a bite and his eyes widen, "This is the best breakfast food there ever was!" but since he had a mouth full of food it sounded more like, "Dis is da bes bekfa foo der eber wa!" Hana sweat dropped before digging into her own pile. "So your a baker?" inquired Naruto. "Yup. You'll be eating like a king while I'm here!" Naruto smiled at that thought, "But how do you know how to make foods like these? They're from different countries!" Hana smiled sweetly at him, "Well thats because I traveled to those countries." Naruto stared at her, stunned, "That's so cool Hana-chan!" Soon Hana and Naruto were in a deep conversation about all the places Hana had been to when Sasuke appeared in the window. This startled Hana causing her to throw her knife at a surprised Sasuke but he caught it with ease before it stabbed him in the head. "Great aim Hana-chan! I should start training you in the arts of shinobi!" praised Naruto. "Pssh. Yeah right." said Hana.
Woohoo! We could totally do it! screamed inner Hana.
Oh please. We'd make fools of ourselves! said Hana to her inner.
Shun the non-believer! SHUN!
Shut up you freak!
Never!
If you don't be quiet I'll...I'll tell Sasuke that he's ugly.
Ok. I'll be quiet.
"C'mon Naruto, you and Hana are late." said Sasuke.
"Oh yeah! I totally forgot!" panicked Naruto.
"Late for what, Uchiha-san?" asked a confused Hana.
"You are to go see the Hokage this morning." sighed Sasuke,"and would you please stop calling Uchiha-san." Hana stared at Sasuke, "What would you like me to call you?" Sasuke just shrugged. "Hmm how about Sasuke-sama? Is that ok?" asked Hana. "I've only just met you so I want to be polite." Sasuke looked at her, "Whatever. You don't have to be polite." Hana smiled at the Uchiha, "You're very kind Sasuke-sama." Naruto came barging back into the kitchen dressed and ready to go. "Let's go! Let's go! If we're really late baa-chan will kill me!" Hana tilted her head in puzzelment, "We're going to see your gandma? I thought we were going to see the Hokage." wondered Hana.
"We are. That's what he calls the Hokage."
Hana thought for a moment, "Oh. They must be very close." Sasuke just shook his head and jumped back out the window. "C'mon Hana-chan." said Naruto as he gestured toward the wndow. Hana stared at it warily before climbing out. She gasped as she relised how high up they were and gave an unsure look to Sasuke. Sasuke just smirked at her as Naruto climbed out next to her. "Couldn't we have just used the door?" Hana asked nervously. Naruto gave her a cheeky smile in answer before grabbing her around her waste and jumping with her to the next building. Sasuke followed behind and chuckled to himself as Hana screamed in fear.
Once they reached the Hokage's office they stopped and stood outside the door. Hana was using the wall for support as her knees shook. "Are you going to be ok Hana-chan?" asked Naruto, concern in his voice. "Y-You could h-have dropped me!" yelled Hana weakly. "But I didn't and I never will." assured Naruto. Hana smiled at him and regained her composure. Sasuke pushed open the door the three stepped inside only to be met with an angry yell, "Naruto you're late!" Naruto rubbed the back of his head, "Hehe, yeah I guess I am. Sorry about that baa-chan." The Hokage, a woman with blonde hair in two low pigtails, brown eyes and some of the biggest boobs you've ever seen. Hana found herself looking down at her chest. Hers wern't small but they weren't anywhere near as big as these womans! "So this is the girl?" asked the Hokage. "Yes, ma'm." replied Hana with a small voice. "Well, as you know I'm the Hokage and my name is Tsunadae. Where are you from?" Remembering how Sasuke reacted when she had said where she was from Hana thought of a careful way of how to say it, "Well I'm not sure where I was born but for the past ten years I was living with a baker in a small town called umm" Hana stopped in mid sentence, scareed to go on. "She's from the Sound." answered Sasuke for her. Hana flinched as the Hokage's eyes went wide, "You let her into the village without my permission?!?" screamed a pissed Tsunadae. Hana backed up a little while unconciously touching her cut from Sasuke's shruiken. "Baa-chan, she used to live here in Konoha! She was my friend and still is. She's not a spy or anything!" defended Naruto. "Naruto's right. I don't believe that she's any threat." said Sasuke. Hana gave him a grateful look. "No matter what you two say, she will be questioned and held prisoner untill we are satisfied that she means no harm." stated Tsunadae coldly. Naruto began to argue with the Hokage while Hana just stood there dumbly. I-I'm going to be locked away?
Don't worry Hana. I'll get us out of this!
How in the hell are you going to do that?
I have my ways.
No. It's better to just follow the rules and not cause any troube. They might even let us out earlier if we're good.
Well you're no fun.
Hana was jolted back to reality as two ninja grabbed her arms roughly and began to 'escort' her out of the room. She couldn't help but squirm a little, she hated being man handled. She was dragged passed the girl with pink hair and caught her eye. The girl sneered at her and continued walking. Did I do something? What's with her? Hana thought to herself, confused by the look she was given. She couldn't think of one thing she had done to the girl. She hadn't even said anything to her! Hana was then pushed into a dark room. She feel to her hands and knees and glanced around. Once her eyes got used to the dark she could make out a cot which she walked over to and sat down. She wrinkled her nose in disgust at the toilet in the corner of the cell. Hana then heard voices outside the door and turned her head towards it. Naruto's distinct voice began to yell and crashes were heard and then the door was thrust open. "Hana-chan! What did they do to you?" Naruto exclaimed. "I've only been in here for five minutes Naruto-kun! They haven't done anything to me!" yelled Hana. A ninja came into the cell with rope. "What is that for?" asked Naruto angrily. The ninja walked over to Hana, asked her to hold out her hands and tied them together. "We will begin the questioning in one hour." said the ninja. Naruto glared at him as he exited the cell. "I can't believe Tsunadae is letting them do this to you." complained Naruto. "I'm gonna be fine Naruto. They'll let me out in a couple days and then you can help me find a job." said Hana, trying to put Naruto's mind at ease. She'd worry about her own later. "Well I'm going to come visit you every hour to make sure you're ok." promised Naruto. "I gonna be ok. Why would they do anything to me?" assured Hana. Naruto gave her a caring look before leaving and closing the door behind him. Hana leaned back into the cot which wasn't much softer than the floor, but she could deal. She let her mind wander and before she knew it the door reopened and the same ninja who tied her hands together came and pulled her up from the cot. "Its already been an hour?"questioned Hana. She was given no answer so she decided to stay quiet. The walk wasn't very long, but they went through many long corridors with doors in which she assumed were more prisoners. They stopped at door and the ninja shoved her inside. The door closed and Hana scanned the dimmly lit room. A voice echoed off the walls, "Sit." it commanded. Hana obeyed and sat in the chair that was in the center of the room. A figure began to form infront of Hana and gasped as she regonized the person. "I will be your questioner. If you do not answer or your answer is unacceptable I will use force. Do you understand?" the person bent down to Hana's eye level. Hana shivered under the womans gaze. She tried to remember her name, was it Sayomi?Sakura?Sakura. That was her name. Sakura smirked at Hana, "Well this should be fun."
