-Washed with the wind-

Six months.

She had been here six months.

She had put her life to the line so many times for this place, that's not even her home. She hides in the shadows and tries so hard… for herself, for them, for no one.

Because she was no one. She had nothing to return to, no family waiting, no one missing her. She didn't even have memories of something better. She remembers darkness and cold, and vortices of colors and forgetfulness.

Amaya put the scroll in front of the fifth. She took it in her hands and scanned it quickly.

"Did the mission went smoothly?" The girl nodded. Then the Hokage added slowly "Any information on the whereabouts of Orochimaru?" Amaya's lips became a thin line and shook her head. The woman sight and rubbed her temples. Amaya blinked twice and looked at the women blankly. Tsunade reach out for her sake. "Well, you are dismissed. Report to your division and get some rest."

Amaya bowed her head as always and walked towards the door, before leaving she turned around. A smirk placed in her lips.

"Don't drink too much." She mumbled softly as she opened the door a little bit harshly and step outside out of the Hokage's rage, and in the process bumping into something. She closed her eyes and filched a little. Where are the ninja reflexes when you need them? A boy around 15 years, redhead, with pale skin, green eyes and the kanji for love tattooed in his forehead. She blinked several times, really confused. The boy had an almost blank expression. He opened his mouth to say something. She quickly cut in.

"Forgive me for my clumsiness, I'll take care to see were I'm going." She dodged him. As she and walked away faint sounds of when he entered the room reached her.

"Hokage-sama"

"Gaara."

Amaya stopped suddenly. She had been walking outside the Hokage's office when nausea hit her, she stopped on top of the stairs. She cover her face whit her hands, shaking a little. Her heartbeat was increasing to an abnormal pulse. She opened her eyes and breath in, trying to keep walking. Her head ached, and there was that little voice in her head whit its constant nagging. Like if she was forgetting something. She launched herself down the stairs.

Her vision was becoming blurry, she kept blacking occasionally. Panic rose to her throat, as well as bile. The urge to cry struck her, quickly and painfully. The air was stuck in her lungs, she panted, trying to force herself self to accept the oxygen.

Amaya looked anxious, she wanted so badly to run, to hit something. She wanted to stop the aimless way and scream, but instead she walked to an alley. She rest in the wall. She let go of her body and slide to the ground, biting her lip and suppressing a cry of confusion.

"I want to know myself so bad it hurts…" She closed her eyes tightly. She could not run.

Amaya never wanted anything, but her whole existence and life had been denied. She was no one in the line of living and still she was there, breathing and living.

She looked at the sky, slightly amused of the recent events. Never in her life had she expected thing to turn out this way.

It was so damn bittersweet.

Things might not be remembered, as well as they could. And she didn't knew what she wished for.

For a moment Amaya thought she could remember. A smile fluttering in the wind, red blood, screams and a green pinwheel. She hoped, she wished. Then she saw it, a more define image. She was looking at a bright dragonfly, the translucent red wings and the multifaceted dark eyes. The eyes then became human and orange and a voice asking. Where are you? I'm not here anymore. Where were you?

And suddenly, everything was empty, white, quiet and juts so, void of movement and form.

Amaya shook her head and stood up, walking out of the alley. The breeze hit her skin and hair, showing off a lonely tear that had made its way out of her eye.

So, this is it.

I can explain the dates, this happens six months before the start of Naruto Shippuden. Also, if you have noticed Amaya is a year younger than the rest, everyone else is 15 and turning 16.

I know that the chapter is weir and confusing, but remember Amaya is confused.

Till next time.
