I now was working in the flower shop with a girl from Naruto's class. Her name was Ino from what I remember. Shes interesting that's for sure. Her hatred for Sakura was deep-rooted yet her dislike towards Naruto was born from him always treating Sasuke like a rival. Naruto's pranks added together with his loud nature didn't help it. I myself didn't like her.

After I finished what I had to do, I made my way home. Nothing eventful happened besides the usual glares that in my direction.

At home, I started to make dinner that's when I noticed a strange lady sitting in my house. From the looks of it, she is probably shinobi of this village, was I in trouble ?. Ignoring that thought I tilted my head to the side as I looked upon the new face.

"Anko if you wonder, my name is Anko" She looked back at me.

"Excuse me miss Anko but what are you doing here" I didn't even hear her enter. Wich startled me quite a bit. Even after all the fights i fought, I couldn't even detect her. I might have been distracted by cooking but it was still impressive.

"Ah not much I was just sent here by the Hokage to observe you two brats aren't up to any funny stuff," She said bluntly after that she added

"I also came here because smell of food lead me here" Ah so that's why she was really here. What to do I cant really deny her. Well, I guess neither Illyia or Onichan could refuse to show off their cooking skills to what looked like a hungry person.

That was the day Anko decided to come back almost every day to get some food. Well, it's not like it bothered me much as she left during the night, it was also nice to share this huge complex of a house with somebody else. Even if that somebody came here mostly for food. It was nice to have somebody to talk to while Naruto was out Training.

Not long after another visitor appeared during the cold rainy day.

She was almost my high but a bit taller her eyes pure white her dark blue hair wet. Her eyes were directed at her feet, almost as if she was too shy or scared to look up upon me. Trembling from the cold weather she stood there with expectations.

"You must Byakguan princess from Naruto's class," I said instantly recognizing her.

"Yes Hinata Hyūga" She lifted her gaze to match with mine.

Before I could say no she started to hang out in the house doing small chores around the house, helping out with whatever she could. From what Hinata told me, she felt bad for how Naruto is treated by everybody. This was also her chance to get closer to Naruto.

Then again she doesn't have much free time because of her family's training. To add to that there were also missions while also having teammates to care about. Yet she sparkled like the brightest star every time she saw Naruto home.

I also gave her some lessons on cooking the same way Onichan taught me. She was overjoyed when I proposed to teach her how to cook. Anko complained how now there is gonna be less food to eat because of Hinata. On the other side, Anko liked teasing Hinata about her crush on Naruto which caused the princess to drop on the floor from all the embarrassment.

Yes, this was fine, it no longer felt soo empty. I still had my mission, to get away from here and get back to knows she might already...No, I decided no moping, no crying.I was not about to be broken by the lack of my friends again. Everybody fought for me so dearly, so I could gain my freedom.I'm not about give up yet again.

My resolve strengthened when i looked upon the smiling faces of Hinata, Anko, and Naruto. My mind thought back on what I left behind, to what I had to get back to. I was not about to give up.

Reviews are always nice to see :D

A short chapter but i really wanted to get the group together so there it is, kinda rushed but it fits.

The story is gonna start picking up from here.
