Justin stood on the roof of the Hospital, wondering what to do next. It seemed as if his past was slowly coming up to meet him. Not that he'd done anything wrong of course. He had always followed his heart, which led him to where he was now, always doing what he could to help people.

"I wonder..." Justin said to himself, looking out at the sky, "Who that girl in my dream I had last night is. I know I've met her somewhere... But the pink hair and the hat throw me off. If she's someone from my past when I was a kid, it's no surprise I don't remember, but still…" He walked over to the edge of the roof and sighed. "Guess I may never know...Oh well." And with that, he emptied the thought from his mind. He had too much to think about anyway, like dealing with Kisame, Itachi and the rest of Akatsuki. The door to the roof opened and Justin didn't turn around.

"Hmm, I didn't know you found out about his injuries." He said to this newcomer. "But i guess you found out anyway, seeing as you help out here in your spare time." He said, smirking a little.

"Yeah, I did hear it from some of the staff, but they wouldn't let me in to see him, said there were already people as it is, visiting an unconscious man and all." The person spoke, with a warm, friendly voice.

"Well then maybe you should spend less time in the Hospital and more time out and about, Tara." Justin said, a smile on his face. "So what did you come up here for?" He said, his expression becoming puzzled.

"Lady Tsunade sent for me to give a message to that friend of yours. Tsunade said she would like to meet her." Tara said. "She said she wanted to discuss something with her."

"Discuss? Discuss what?" Justin asked, confused.

"Lady Tsunade didn't say, but she said it was important to deliver the message now." Tara responded, but before she could continue, Justin sighed.

"Tsunade never tells us anything..." He said, laughing a little. "C'mon, Xana's in Seph's room, it's on the top floor." Justin walked over and led the way. "Though I doubt you'll get her to cooperate." Justin smirked as he walked.

"What? She wants to talk to me?" Xana said, surprised, "Why would she want to do that?"

"Like we said, she didn't say, but apparently it is important, as she said it can't wait." Tara said. "So will you come with me to see Lady Hokage?"

"If I no other real choice..." Xana said, as she got up and followed Tara out of the room and off into the village. "Though I don't know why I have to go…"

"You know, Seph, I still don't get what you see in her. Even after knowing her for 4 years i still don't get it." Justin said. "I mean she's a great person and all, but she can be so short tempered."

"Yeah, you know that better than anyone don't you?" Sephiroth replied, as the two friends shared a good laugh. "You wouldn't get it Justin, it's too far over your head. Maybe you will someday."

"I'll understand that when I remember my life before i met you those five years ago." Justin replied, as they both laughed. It seemed like it was so long ago now that they had met. Then he began to wonder who that girl he dreamt about that past night again. Brushing it off once more, he focus shifted out the window, toward the setting sun

"Lucy. Her name is Lucy." He muttered to himself under his breath. "Though I don't know for the life of me how I remember that." he muttered, as he smiled, and got up. "Well, Seph, I think I'm going to head home. It's been a rough day, and I'll need to be in top condition to help you get back on your feet ." Justin said, and as he walked out of the room, he heard Sephiroth utter a phrase that seemed to become as common as hello for him "Goodnight, you idiot."

"Ugh, where are they?" the blonde woman asked to herself as she paced around her office. She was anxious. Tara hadn't returned yet, and it was getting late. She turned as she heard the doors to her office open. "What is it now...oh, it's you Tara, and I see you've brought our guest." She said, walking over to her desk and sitting down. "Tara, feel free to go home and get some rest. You've had a busy day with all the work I've had for you."

After Tara closed the door, Xana said impatiently "What is this all about? I have better things to do then sit in an office all night."

"Things more important than working alongside your friends Justin and Sephiroth?" Tsunade answered calmly as she saw Xana's look of utter surprise. "I see you look stunned, if not curious as to what I asked you here for. I asked you here because Justin and Sephiroth always spoke highly of your talent, and hearing about what you did to Kisame, I was amazed."

"Get to the point." Xana said, looking at Tsunade wondering how someone with such a lack of focus could become Hokage. She wondered why there was even a need for this meeting, the little skirmish had been the topic all over the village.

Tsunade sighed, and closed her eyes before continuing. "Xana, I want you to become a Konoha Shinobi and complete the four-man team your friends started."

"What?!"
