ac: Second chapter
Teral: Do you really think this piece of crap will get any reviews?
ac: You wanna bet?
Laret: albino chocobo does not own anything, except for the idea. And, until ac is able to figure out how to edit already posted chapters, this will be the first disclaimer. Now please, you two, stop fighting!

"What do you think is happening?" said Sakura.
At first, there were a few sounds that showed there was a battle, but it was quiet now. At had been at least a minute since they last heard from whatever was going on behind them.
Then, they heard footsteps.
"Be ready for anything" said Sasuke. He heard that there were two sets of footsteps, which didn't fit with the sounds from before.
Through the fog, they could see two figures approaching. They were certain one of them was Kakashi. But who was the other one?
Kakashi appeared through the fog, and beside him was a young man(I already described him, so I'm not repeating anything!). They got a bit of a shock from his ears(again, not repeating anything!). There was a small cut on his chest, but it seemed to be disappearing as you watched.
If only I was a little older… was Sakura's first thought, then quickly blushed at it.
"Kakashi-sensei, who is he?" asked Naruto when they got close enough.
"I was just about to find out." Then he straightened a bit and pointed to himself.
"Kakashi." he said, then motioned towards the others. "Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto." As he said this, he motioned at each one(respectively). Then motioned towards the swordsman expectantly.
He was confused a moment. Then he realized what he was being asked, and said "Link".
Kakashi motioned for Link to wait outside of the Hokage's office. Kakashi and co. went inside to report on how the mission went and to see if the Hokage would meet with Link to try to figure out about him.
Link leaned against a tree across from the building. And, to his soon to be dismay, two girls were walking by. They appeared to be about his age and seemed to have taken interest. He saw them starting towards him, saw that look in their eyes, and thought he should get away quickly.
llllllll
Kakashi and co. came outside to see two girls standing where Link had just been.
"Where did he go?" one of them asked, "He just disappeared!"
"I don't know, but I bet we'll see him again," the other one said with a giggle.
The girls walked away, talking amongst themselves. Naruto ran to the tree and started looking around frantically. Then he looked up, and pointed.
"Found him" he said.
Sure enough, Link had hooked his arms and legs around a tree branch with his back hanging towards the ground. He looked down over his shoulder and his eyes seemed to ask "Are they gone?" Kakashi nodded as sign that all was clear. Link sighed with relief and let go of the branch. But he didn't fall. One of his mechanical claws was hooked into the branch. He started to slowly glide down and, when he got closer, they saw the claw was attached to a chain. When his feet touched the ground, the claw let go of the branch and whipped back down to the part he was holding. Surprised gasps came from everyone (except Kakashi, he just gave a look). Link just gave a small smile.
"Well, the Hokage agreed to meet with him, so I'll just go ahead and take Link to him." said Kakashi. "It looks like he'll be here awhile, so go ahead and tell all the other gennin."
Link didn't have a clue what they were saying. Kakashi motioned for Link to follow him, and went back into the building.
"C'mon! Let's go tell everybody!" said Naruto and he ran off before they could answer.
I don't think I'll tell Ino pig quite yet thought Sakura with a content smile.
Sasuke just went home.
llllllll
After a pretty awkward "talk", we still know very little about this Link, thought Hokage. Link was just exiting the room. He would have to bunk with Naruto since he seemed excited about their visitor. All we know is: he comes from a place called Hyrule, has yet to take out his sword, has probably numerous items other than a sword and shield, and he speaks a dead, forgotten language. And one more thing, he added, he handed Kakashi an arrow with the point broken off. While we don't know what language he speaks, it seems to be a sign of peace. However, who knows what other things he has in his possession. There are too many things we don't know about him and his past. It just doesn't seem right for a person with kind eyes to be carrying a sword.
Something Kakashi said floated to the back into his head. "Despite how well he at least tries to hide it, there is some hate just beneath the surface."
"Make sure an anbu agent watches him at all times, but do not attack. Stay hidden and, if he starts making trouble purposely, stop him at all costs."
"Yes Lord Hokage." replied a ninja near him and immediately went off to inform the other anbu agents.
He's an interesting one, the Hokage thought, and I am sure he has much to say. But the language difference is too great.
Then, the ninja that he had sent to look at the maps at the library to find one that matches the one Link had returned.
"I am sorry to inform you, Lord Hokage, that I couldn't find one map that is even similar."
"Another thing to take into consideration," he mumbled to himself. Just who is he?
lllllll
Well? Please R&R!
