Ladies and gentlemen! I hereby present chapter threeeeeeee! :)

I don't own anything!

Except for Yumi who is MY character, but you are welcome to use her if you want. If you do please tell me so I can see your work! :)


Previously:

"Yumi-chan..." Her mother sighed. "Sasuke is staying here tonight. He is nothing to worry about, - a friend of mine. I'll explain tomorrow," When Yumi didn't answer, her mother once more sighed. "Oyasuminasai," Her mother whispered and closed the door slowly.


When Yumi woke, she headed straight for the bathroom. She was always a zombie in the morning, - just like her mother. They had an unspoken thing, where none of them spoke until five minutes before they would drive to town. Only words like Eggs? and bathroom was said. When Yumi stepped out of the shower, the previous night's events came back. She remembered Sasuke in the last minute before she ran back to her room and locked the door.

She pulled on some loose shorts and a black hoodie. Then she slowly made her way downstairs. She marched down the last steps with straight legs, and pulled her hair up into a messy bun, on top of her head.

When she entered the kitchen her mother and Sasuke were sitting at the four persons table. Yumi ignored them and went straight for the fridge. She pulled out some milk and opened the drawer that hid her beloved chocolate cornflakes, but when she looked down at it, it weren't there. Yumi stood up and searched the entire kitchen. She let out an annoyed sigh when they were nowhere to be found.
"Where?!" She said and turned to face the two adults.

"Where what?" Her mother said sweetly.

"My. Chocolate. Cornflakes. Where?" She said.

"First: You sit down and listen. We are moving," And boom. The bomb exploded. (I's a metaphor)

"What?!" Yumi's head snapped up. She was fully awake now.

"Sit down," Her mother said.

Yumi slowly made her way to the table, her brain still trying to figure out what had just happened.

"Why?" Shy whispered. She placed her elbows on the table and her head in her hands.

"Because we're going home," Her mother said.

"But mom... This is home,"

"Yumiko, home is where people still thinks about you. Do you..-"

"This is home, mom!" Yumi slammed her palms down on the table and rose to her feet. An angry wrinkle had appeared on her forehead.

"Listen to your mother," Sasuke interupped.

"You don't get to tell me what to do!" Yumi snapped.

"Yumiko Amaninne. Sit your stubborn ass down on the chair and listen." Her mother said slowly and threatening. Yumi sat back down again and stared at the table like she was going to set it on fire.

"Yumi, do you remember the stories I told you when you were younger?" Yumi nodded. "Well, I have one to add:

Once upon a time a young woman lived in the village hidden in the leaves. She had fallen in love with her teammate, and he with her. They hid their love from the rest of the village, still not sure what to make of it. On the day the war started, they got separated. He was to fight on another front line than her. As they had defeated most of the enemy, a lot bigger threat waited at a third front line. Both of them where to go to that front line and fight. Two nights before they reached the third front line, their two companions met and traveled together. On the second night they had finally found each other, and it was on that night she was sure he was the one.
Her one true love.

They spent the night together and traveled the last part of the way side by side. It was the final battle, one they won, but she lost. She lost her love in that battle. He died protecting his cousin, who protected the future leader of the village. A few months later the woman discovered she was pregnant. As she was still mourning the loss of her lover, she was now full of hope. A hope she would give her life to protect.

But the days passed by, she was met by a threat. Men was seeking revenge on her lover and since she was carrying his child, the woman and her unborn child were in great danger.

The woman took a big decision. She went to her old friend, explained what she wished of him, and he understood. He helped her travel to a whole other dimension. One, where she could build a new life for her baby and herself. She had been given a new chance.

But there was a cost. She had no fighting power in this strange new world. She knew no one. She was just as new to the world, as her baby would be in a few months. A couple of months later she went in labour, and the woman gave birth to a beautiful babygirl. That girl grew up to be even more beautiful and strong, just as her father had been.

One day, her old friend the one who had helped her, came back. He told her it was safe to return to her village. That they had finally managed to clean it up and built a strong, peaceful home. That the woman could bring her child home. That the child could get to live the rest of her life with her fathers family and her mothers friends. That was now the woman's greatest wish.

To bring her beautiful baby girl home.

To bring you home."

Yumi slowly looked at her mother's face. Her mother met her glance with soft and calm eyes.

"Sasuke is your friend," Yumi said slowly. Her mother nodded. "And you are the woman. And dad is the soldier who sacrificed himself for his cousin,"

"Neji was an honourable man," Sasuke said respectfully. Her mother closed her eyes and a tear trembled down her cheek, but she was smiling.

"Yes. Yes he was." She said. Yumi stood and hugged her mother.

"Is it a metaphor we have to travel to another dimension?" Yumi asked.

"No," Sasuke said with a smirk on his face. "I'm going to teleport you two back to our world."

"Okay," Yumi said slowly, still not sure if they were joking. "Can I go say goodbye to my friends first?"

"No," Her mother sighed. "The only one you can call and tell goodbye is Mary. Sasuke and I talked about this last night. It will be best if we just disappears from this world without any trouble."

"Okay..." Yumi said again. "When.. When do leave?" She said quietly.

"Tonight. At midnight. You have the rest of the day," Her mother said. The rest of the day. One day left.

"What should I bring?" Yumi asked.

"Only light stuff. It's warm in Konoha, so your summer clothes." A smile lit up on Yumi's face.

"But before you pack anything, remember it is a place for shinobis, not high school girls," Her mother winked at her.


Author's notes!

So this was chapter three.

For the matter, Yumi could freak out more when her mother said they were moving, but Yumi hasn't really really realised it yet.

It's like when you cut off your long hair, and keep getting a shock every time you see your reflection, because you just somehow can't get your brain to realize you don't have your long hair anymore.

In other words, she's in denial right now. :)

Please review and thank you for reading my story this far!
