"Father, I have returned. I have done what you asked," the girl said.
"My dear Risa, you have really come back. How long has it been? 2 years?" Kurosagawa rose from behind his desk as Risa nodded in reply. "You have grown up!" he said, caressing her hair. "I am proud. How was your journey?"
"I've learned much, Father. Ever since you dropped me out in the wilderness, I have sharpened my senses and learned to conserve my chakra."
"Very good. You have done our family proud. I'm sure your brother and mother would like to see you. Come." Hatake-sama led the way through the hallway to the connecting house. "We've left your room as it was, as requested be mother. Personally, I wanted to transform it into a training room, but your mother had to have her way." He paused to see Risa's blank expression and chuckled. "Still as quiet as ever, I see…"
The two made their way to the living room, where they met with Hatake Hanako and Kakashi. At first, Hanako could have been mistaken for Risa's twin, but upon a closer look, Hanako obviously looked more refined and delicate. Kakashi, however, took after his father. At 26 years of age, he was beginning to look older than he really was.
"Risa-chan! Oh, how I've missed you!" Hanako walked over to her daughter and hugged her tightly.
"I've missed you too, Mom," Risa replied with a slight smile.
"Yo, Risa. How was your mission? Did you meet any cute boys and get wild?" Kakashi joined mother and daughter.
"Still as perverted as ever, aren't you, nii-san?" Risa shot back, smirking.
"Just kidding. So did you have a good time?"
"It was okay. I did learn a lot. Do you want to test it out?" Risa said with a hint of a smile.
"All right, meet me at the training grounds. They're still standing in their usual place…"
Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke, but Risa decided to take her time and familiarize herself with her hometown a little more.
"Be careful, sweetie," Hanako called to her daughter's retreating back. Risa answered with a wave before turning a corner and out the door.
Risa's footsteps were light as she strolled, hands deep in the pockets of her dark blue jeans. She cast her black-eyed gaze all around her, taking in the new sights, her eyes holding the slightest spark similar to the excitement of a young child's at a fair.
Suddenly, a stampede of some sort began to appear and was headed Risa's way. In the lead was a pink-haired person, and beside that person was a blonde with long hair. Even flattening herself against the building walls couldn't save her from whatever was approaching. The other option was to run the other way, which would take her even longer to get back to Kakashi. So Risa decided to test out her stupid hunch and see if she could jump over whatever was running her way. She positioned herself and calculated her timing as the stomping footsteps came near, when she felt a tug on her right arm and then a jerk as her body was pulled into a narrow alley. The sudden motion caused her to trip over her own feet and crash to the ground. The stampede rumbled by as Risa picked herself up and wordlessly dusted off. That's when she noticed the midnight-haired boy about her age standing before her. She noticed his navy blue shirt and his beige khaki shorts. His dark eyes pierced into her emotionless ones, as if to instigate a staring contest. Obviously, he was the one who dragged Risa out of harm's way.
