Yeah that was an odd chapter, sorry┘ Mind you I did write at like one am, but yeah┘ Sudden inspiration I tell you! Ok well maybe that chapter left you rather confused. I▓m sure there are a few questions. Like why was Sakura so hostile? And how the hell did Chihiro end up in Konoha? But those will all be answered in this chapter. Yeah it▓s a filler, I still need to plot out the next chapter. Wait readers don▓t go! READERS!! Noooo! I was joking about the filler thing! I swear! COME BACK!! And don▓t forget to review :3
My eyes widened, I looked at Tsunade in shock, ⌠What do you┘ You must be j-joking, what is this!?■ I yelled, standing up. ⌠I▓m sure you find this news shocking, but we did everything we could,■ she replied, not phased by the fact that she was being yelled at by me, a teenager who just found out her parents were killed by her own┘ brother┘ How could you, Pein┘ I fell to the floor with a thud and passed out.
⌠Niisan! Push me, niisan!■ Yelled a young, black haired child who was sitting on a swing. He was smiling, happy. His brother picked him off the swing, and spun him around in the air, he squealed in delight. I grasped at my brother▓s leg, and hid shyly, ⌠Chihiro, what are you doing?■ he asked coldly, turning his gaze to me. I looked up at him, wide eyes, ⌠Niisan, why aren▓t we like that?■ I said, glancing at the kid▓s at the swing. Pein turned around and knelt down in front of me, smiling. I smiled back, unsure. ⌠Chihiro, we are like that,■ he said, his voice sounding degrees warmer. Warm enough to burn.
⌠Chihiro?■ Came the sound of a familiar voice, it was Tenzura. I opened my eyes, smiling. I wrapped my arms around his neck and lead him into a great big hug, ⌠I thought you were dead,■ He murmured, hugging me back tightly. He was shaking, but then again┘ So was I. ⌠Wait!■ I exclaimed, pushing Tenzura away, ⌠What the fuck are we going to do, you idiot!■ I punched him angrily and he fell over, wiping his mouth on his sleeve, ⌠How the hell do you end up in KONOHAGAKURE when you were taking me to hospital, in MOON COUNTRY!! Did you just take a detour? You realize there is an OCEAN between these places, right?■ I said, getting up, grabbing his shirt collar once more. He looked down, shamefully at the ground and muttered something about being attacked. ⌠Well who the fuck attacked us!?■ I screamed, letting go of his collar, storming back and forth in the small hospital room. ⌠It was two guys in black cloaks, with red clouds on them, members of an organization, Tsunade-sama calls, the Akatsuki, I was no match for them,■ he said, looking utterly ashamed of himself. ⌠The Akatsuki, that▓s his┘■ I trailed off, That was the organization he went to join, what does this mean!? I bit my lip, then looked at him, ⌠Do you know who found us?■ Tenzura looked at me, taking his glasses off and shining them on his shirt then putting them back on, he spoke quietly, ⌠Yes, it was in Hahajima, four Konoha ninjas found us on one of their missions and took us back┘ here,■ he said, looking relieved that I hadn▓t hit him again. ⌠Tenzura-san! You▓re bleeding!■ Came the voice of that girl, I looked at her angrily, this time I don▓t have anything getting in the way, I felt around in ▒my pocket▓ for a Kunai, sighing when I realized I had none. ⌠Did she do this to you?■ The pink haired girl asked, kneeling down in front on Tenzura examining his cheek where I had hit him, ⌠No, no Sakura-san, she did hit me-⌠ Sakura jumped up and looked at me heatedly, I could feel the amount of chakra she was gathering in her hand, if that grazed me I would be in a worse state than I was when I arrived here, she raised her fist, but Tenzura stood up and put her hand back at her side, ⌠But I deserved it, and its in Chihiro▓s nature,■ Sakura sighed, obviously not very pleased she couldn▓t hit me, she plastered that fake smile on her face, ⌠Well, Chihiro-san,■ She said, enunciating every syllable in my name as if it where as swear word, ⌠Its not right to hit others, but of course you know that already, don▓t you?■ She said, through gritted teeth. I looked up at her, then smiling my own sweet smile, ⌠Sakura-chan, of course I know that, but do you?■ I said, in a patronizing voice, speaking to her as if she was just a child, as he did so many times to me┘ I saw her clenching her fists, her long nails digging into the palm of her hand, but she stayed smiling. ⌠Chihiro-san,■ she took a deep breath then looked at me, ⌠Be honest now, did you attack Tenzura-san in Hahajima!?■ Tenzura jumped to my defense, ⌠Sakura-san, I can assure you she did not attack me,■ S\she nodded, clearly not believing a word of it. So that▓s why she was so hostile, she thinks I tried to kill Tenzura, that▓s preposterous! Sakura looked at me, ⌠Chi≈⌠ she was interrupted by Naruto, the blonde by from earlier, bursting in, ⌠Sakuraa-chiiiaaan!■ Sakura turned around, punching Naruto in the face. Sending him flying through several walls, ⌠YAMARO!!■ she yelled, it was at that moment she and I realized we were the same, looking at each other. Blinking in amazement, we smiled at each other. Genuinely. Tenzura▓s confusion was mirrored on Naruto▓s face as he came walking through the wall that Sakura had just knocked him through. ⌠I was just coming to ask if you guys were hungry, dattebayo,■ He said, eyes watering, he rubbed his red face. ⌠I am starving!!■ I exclaimed, they looked at me. Gah! They▓re all thinking I▓m weird! Sakura grinned, ⌠Come Chihiro, lets get you some clothes,■ she took my hand and lead me to a place in the room where I can change in quiet, she handed me a pile of clothes, which I could only assume were mine at some point. Then she left, I got into the shower and turned the knob, after quickly stripping out of my dirty clothes, I luxuriated the feeling of the warm water hitting my skin, I washed my hair, and everywhere. I was glowing when I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel. I heard Sakura scream and several more walls being broken, I smiled. I liked it here. I finished toweling myself off and got dressed, the clothes were loose. I▓d lost weight. But oh well, I walked out and greeted Sakura, Naruto and Tenzura again, smiling, then I cast my eyes on a tall pale boy with black hair and eyes, he fake smiled at me. I fake smiled back, then extended my hand, ⌠Chihiro, and you are?■ He looked at my hand and shook it briefly, ⌠Sai,■ I looked at him, for some reason his name set off a tingly feeling in my chest, he looked familiar, was he?≈ He was the kid from that day at the park, no mistaking it. ⌠It▓s rude to stare Chihiro-san,■ he said, still fake smiling at me. ⌠Sorry,■ I murmured, looking away. ⌠Did I upset her, hag?■ He asked, turning to Sakura, surprisingly enough she didn▓t hit him. Sakura just looked at me, ⌠Chihiro-san? Are you alright?■ there was concern in her voice. I looked up, fake smiling. ⌠Her fake smile is more dangerous than yours, Hag. Hers is hiding something,■ Sai said, still smiling. What a curious boy┘ Naruto▓s stomach grumbled loudly, Sakura gave him a knowing glance then said, ⌠We should head out!■ then she ran off, Naruto and Tenzura (He must have been as hungry as me) following. It was just Sai and I, I looked at him, ⌠Sai-kun, don▓t you remember me?■ He looked had no emotion on his face now, my curiosity perked by this┘ ⌠What do you mean? I▓ve never seen you before,■ he said, suddenly he gasped a bit. ⌠Are you≈⌠ He went quiet, then ran off after Sakura and the others.
