Recap:
She had been sitting there for maybe five minutes when she decided to go look out the window. Angel had had enough of looking at the walls and floor. She moved her feet slowly off the side of her bed. She stood slowly getting her bearings before moving to the windows. She threw open the windows to get rid of the, admittedly very strong, smell of bleach. She had been standing there for twenty minutes, more when the nurse and another man walked into the room.
Angel's P.O.V.~
The older man was talking to the nurse when she walked into the room. He didn't seem to notice me at first, but he turned in my general direction, and looked at the papers in his hand. I was guessing that the papers were from the doctor.
"So you are deaf in your left ear? that will make life a little difficult for you then," he asked. So the papers where from the doctors then.
I looked at the man confused, "I am only half deaf sir." I was sure that was what the doctor had said anyway.
The man was old, he had wrinkles by his eyes and liver spots on his left cheek. He carried around a pipe, it smelled like tobacco was in it, although it wasn't lit. He had dark eyes and a white goatee. The man wore a large hat the easily shaded his face with a cloth that surrounded the back and sides of his head. It was red with a small White square that had the word Hokage written in red on the white. His outfit also had the same colors, a red haori and a white jacket.
I briefly hesitated before asking him softly, "Why am I here Sir? And who are you?"
"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi, I am the third Hokage. That means that I am the leader of this village." He paused and took a breath. "You where found early this morning unconscious at training ground seven." He paused again giving me a look I couldn't decipher. "You where brought to the hospital by Jonin Hatake Kakashi."
It almost felt like he was testing me. Looking for something in my reaction to the name. I had never heard of the name before.
He gave a small quiet huff, like he was annoyed. "Now, will you tell me who you are," he asked.
I had already decided to pretend I couldn't remember anything so I kept going with it. So I lied to him, "I... I don't know." I bite my lip looking back out the window away from him. I was scared it wasn't going to work. "I... don't know who I am." I turned back around mindful of my expression. "I don't remember anything aside from waking up here."
He gave me a look that said he believed about half of it. He hummed and leaned out the door and motioning to a nurse. They spoke briefly and she went running off. I went back to looking out the window and tried to ignore the holes that were being bored into my back. His eyes were like knives, sharp and calculating. I didn't want those eyes on me, and yet I did. He felt safe, warm. His presence gave off a happy feeling that I wanted to just cuddle with. I mentally shook my head, I had a feeling they where going to check and see if I was lying to them. I carefully protected my memories burying them deep in my subconscious. I didn't want them to get even a small glimpse of my past.
When I finally managed the courage to turn around, the doctor had already came back.
Hokage's P.O.V.~
When I asked the girl for her name I had expected to get some answers, however all I got was more questions. She spoke so softly that I had almost missed when she said that she didn't know. She bit her lip and looked out the window, the small furrow in her brow showed that she was thinking deeply. Her body was tense, it was very likely that this girl was scared. Of getting caught in a lie or that she couldn't remember anything. When she said she didn't know her name, I became more skeptical and mildly concerned. She finally turned back around looking me in the eye, "I don't remember anything aside from waking up here."
I was still skeptical, and while I don't doubt that she has some trauma from the experience I don't believe that it would be enough to wipe her memory completely. Then, she was in the hospital for five days. Whatever happened to her was more cause for concern, her scans had came back normal, with a few abnormalities. I was wary of her answer, she was a stranger that had some how gotten inside the village. I turned moving to the door and leaning out waving a nurse over. I sent her to get the doctor and bring him back.
Turning back around, she had decided to look back out the window. I couldn't see her face.
I immediately took notice of her form. Her hair shone quiet beautifully. The blond hair had midnight black streaks all through out. The skin I could see was very pale, almost like snow. Part of her hair had been pulled back loosely, I could see a portion of her back that showed the markings that she had. Swirls that where outlined in dots, the one on her back had three swirls alternating direction with each other, and small branch like swirls coming off the bigger ones. Her papers mentioned another on her upper arm near her shoulder, it was only two swirls with dots that got progressively smaller the father down the swirl.
She turned back around just as the doctor stepped into the room. Her eyes where a deep brown hazel, and they where dead.
I mentioned to the doctor what she had told me. He frowned and moved to her lifting a hand glowing green with healing chakra. She flinched when he placed his hand on her head and again when he sent a pulse through her head. He frowned further and sent a secondary pulse through her, she briefly tensed but didn't flinch. The doctor pulled away and shook his head.
"I can't find anything. Normally the brain has an electrical "echo", These indicate memories however she doesn't seem to have any at all." The doctor seemed just as confused as I was.
It looked like she really had no memory of who she is, or was. I hummed stroking my goatee, "So it seems that you are suffering from amnesia then." She was starring at me, her eyes coming to life. "Since we can't continue calling you Jane Doe, what would you like to be called little one," I asked her with a smile. I was going to have anbu keep an eye on her, but I wouldn't worry too much about where she came from unless she starts to remember. And there was nothing else to do, so coming up with something to call her was a good start.
"I think I would like to be," she paused thoughtfully looking out the window once more, "Moon. Is that... is that okay?"
I noticed that she never spoke loudly, like she was used to whispering all the time. It was like she was expecting something to happen every time she spoke.
I nodded telling her that that was fine. She gave a small smile.
And that's when Naruto had decided to run into the room. He was yelling asking if she was awake.
He didn't pay attention or really look where he was going and ran into her knocking her over. He fell over onto her. I told myself that I wasn't laughing but I knew that I was lying.
Wow. 1,353 words. That's the most I've written for a chapter so far. So I decided to thank the people reading a following this story. I know I published the first chapter so long ago that some people thought that I forgot this story, but I swear I haven't forgot! And I know that its not a good excuse but it's what happened. Life decided to hit me hard after I first published this. I was watching my siblings full time (my brother is autistic, and my sister was only two) my mom had to go back to school for her job as an at home care aid. and my dad worked nights. I was generally too tired to write anything. Then I moved in with my older sister and started working at the hospital in my home town. I didn't realize how much my mom did for us till then. After that it was work, bills, and housework; almost never having enough money between the two of us to pay for internet. It was the only thing we wanted for ourselves. After that her boyfriend moved in with us and we didn't get along at all really. We moved when our landlord decided to sell the house out from under us. We managed to do it in three weeks though. October of 2016, so the same year, I ended up quitting because of reasons (my co-worker was a bitch and always got me in trouble with my boss). Then my sister kicked me out in the middle of a blizzard two months later. I moved in with my grandma, which was desperately needed. Now I've been working for a year and helping my grandparents raise my cousin (she's 5).
Anyways I'm back. Thanks for listening to my rant. And hopefully I'll be updating much more. No telling how often though, it'll be sporadic.
THANKS!
