Chapter One

Two weeks. It's been two weeks and, nothing. No Himeko. No Hanabi. No Father. No Ko. Everybody was gone, and I was left to grief.

I've had been scouting for passersby travelers, and food didn't come so easily for me, unless it was fish but she was sick of fish. Day in and day out. Ko and Himeko taught me how to fish. You feel for their wave and then you strike, but thinking about them made my hunger go away swiftly.

I took a seat next to the stream, as if Himeko would magically appear cradling Hanabi in his arms. But magic didn't exist and Hope didn't seem convenient. A rumble from the ground threw me sideways as two voices shouted and grew closer. I climbed up a tree and held my breath. This was not good. But three approached.

"Kankuro I thought you said you heard somebody." The blonde pointed an accusing finger at the makeup covered boy.

"It's not nice to point."- the boy frowned.-" plus, there was somebody here I felt their chakra." The other boy, a red head, peered into the bushes as if he knew I was there but didn't want me to be found out. A kindred spirit? But suddenly the boy disappeared and reappeared right beside me.

"Found Her." His voice was deep and empty and so were his eyes. Unchildlike, but I took back everything I said, Kindred Spirit my arse. I small shove caught me off guard and I fell to the ground, face first. Damn.

The blonde girl smiled real big, and gave a thumbs up to the traitor. " Good job little bro!"-She turned her full attention to me. -" So whats your name?" Her foot nudged me over and she bent down to me where I was covering my sore eye.

"Hyuuga. Hinata." The girl smiled almost as if she wanted to hug me. And helped me up.

"I'm so happy I could kiss you." Okay as if she wanted to kiss me. Kankuro winked at me, and the traitor stood there staring at me with a confused glance. The girl must've caught me staring. "That's my little brother Gaara if you were wondering." I blushed.

"No I wasn't but thanks for the information." She smiled, and gave me a small wink.

"I'm Temari and thats my other little brother Kankuro." Kankuro upon hearing his name, his head whisked toward me and gave me a smile. Kankuro turned a serious face toward Temari and pointed at his watch, Temari nodded and turned to me.

"We have to go, Lady Tsunade sent us to get you." I tilted my head confused. "Lady Tsunade is the Hokage of the Land of Fire." I tilted my head even more. "She's the boss of the village Hidden Village of the Leaf." I nodded still not understanding what she was saying. But a village has people and people have information. I nodded and we headed out, but as I moved sand started to engulf me.

"Wait, wha"- Temari shook her head as if saying 'don't worry about it' and as the sand engulfed me everything went black.

Was that better? I hope so .. until next time chapter Two. JA~NE!
