Chapter 2
But, she was dead...
"No...That's not possible. She died along with the rest of her clan and you know that very well Tsunade-sama." Kakashi looked back and forth between the woman on the bed and Tsunade, waiting for an answer.
"Kakashi, you know as well as I do that there should be no way in hell she is alive. But either way, by some cosmic twist of fate, she is."
Rin glanced towards Tsunade, silently apologizing for Kakashi before turning her eyes back to Kurenai. She had been best friends with the girl when they were younger and was devastated when she heard of her death. She knew of no one else who had been as close to the girl as she had been, except one.
As if sensing someone else was in the room with her, Kurenai's eyes shot open only to close right after. She began breathing deeply as if trying to catch her breath.
"Where the hell am I?" She asked.
"You are in a hospital in the middle of Konohagakure. You were brought here after you were found near our borders. You were badly injured and in need of medical attention." Tsunade approached the end of the bed and picked up the clip board that hung from a small rope.
"Who are you? You look familiar somehow." Kurenai squinted to try and get a clear picture of who was talking to her.
"Why don't you tell us who you are first and then we will tell you who we are." Kakashi came into view and she gasped. She had not seen the masked face for quite some time but she would never forget who it belonged to.
"Ka...Kakashi?"
