Sorry that it's been such a long time. ;;;;;;;;
Anyways I don't own Naruto, Hoshi or Kohana. I do however own Katsuro, Tala and anything else that may not be familiar from the show Naruto. (character-wise and plot I mean. ;;;;; )
Chapter V
Night had yet to descend upon the land and the group found themselves in front of a stone cliff with a crack in the middle which led directly into Sunagakure. The sky above began to change into soft colors of orange and pink.
"Big gates." Kohana stated looking at the massive rocks.
"It is used as a natural protection for the village." Hoshi stated looking at the cliff as
well. "On the other side is Sunagakure."
"Yea..." Tala trailed off peering through the crack.
"Now you're sure you want to do this?" Kohana asked looking at Tala and Katsuro who stood motionless.
Tala blinked her eyes realizing that Kohana had spoken to her and Katsuro. She turned her gaze at Katsuro who met her eyes and nodded.
"Yea, we're sure." he stated walking foreward. Tala followed behind him and Hoshi and Kohana followed behind her.
Walking at a normal pace the four made it through the cliff and stopped when they spotted two jonin. One had dark blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a normal jonin outfit while the other one had a cloth that covered half of his face and red markings on his face as well. (You know who this is right?)
"Show identification and your reason for being here." The first one said in a monotone voice.
Hoshi and Kohana looked at eachother and then to Tala and Katsuro. Sure they said they would come and all but neither one of them told them what would happen as soon as they arrived.
Tala's heart thumped against her chest. She was nervous, really nervous. She didn't know if she should say who she was or not. Slowly she turned her silver eyes to Katsuro.
Katsuro looked at the two men in front of him. Knowing that they may get susupicious if he does not show anything he slowly took his hitai-ate out of his bag. His right hand held the object and covered the symbol which was carved into it.
"What village are you from?" The first man asked again.
Seeing what Katsuro was doing, Tala too grabbed her hitai-ate out of her bag.
"We are from this village. Sunagakure no Sato." Katsuro opened his hand to show the hourglass type mark (looks like an hourglass to me), as did Tala.
The two men's eyes widened for a moment but then the first one glared. "Who are you?!"
"Katsuro."
"and Tala."
The two men's eyes widened once again.
"The traitors!? What are you doing back here!?" The first one exclaimed taking out a
katana.
"They're not traitors!" Kohana exclamied glareing at him. Her brownish-amber eyes already holding hatred for the man.
"They just merely left the village for a few years." Hoshi added calmly. "And Kohana please try to calm down."
Kohana glared again but took a deep breath and calmed down. She glanced at Katsuro and Tala to see them unaffected by the man's comment.
"We expected this." Tala said slowly as she tied her hitai-ate around her neck. "But still, this is our home village and we did not betray it. We just simply took a break. As
I said years ago if we were traitors you would see a slash on this hitai-ate of mine."
"Still you two left without the consent of the late Kazekage." The second one finally spoke up.
Katsuro's gaze drifted to him.
"It's been a long time hasn't it Baki." He said slowly.
Baki nodded and turned to the first man. "We will let them enter and bring them to Gaara-sama."
"But..." the first one started but Baki cut him off. "It is my decision. Stay here and keep gaurd."
The man glared and nodded. Baki motioned for the group to follow him and they did.
"That...wasn't so hard." Kohana blinked as she followed.
"..." Everyone else remained silent.
Katsuro followed Baki with Tala next to him. Letting out a soft sigh he tied his hitai-ate around his upper-arm with some help from Tala.
"He's not going to know who you are." Tala stated looking at Katsuro.
"That's right, you left before he was born, correct?" Hoshi stated looking at Katsuro as well.
"When we left my sister was 2 while my brother was 1. If they saw me now they would not even roconize me. They were too young." Katsuro said as his eyes looked at all the buildings. Some he remembered while others he did not.
"Wait till people start to reconize me." Tala said with a sigh. She was about to speak again when Kohana beat her to it.
"That's right. When we first met you, you were really a prick who didn't like other people's help and acted like a loner but now. You're pretty much nothing like that except you can get a bit weird sometimes." Kohana said with a smile.
"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult." Tala said as she let out another sigh.
"Just take it as a compliment." Hoshi stated looking at her. "We don't want a fight to occur now."
Tala and Kohana blinked and then each of their eyes widened. "We don't always fight!"
They said in unision turning to glare at him.
Hoshi remained unaffected and continued to walk.
As they continued to walk through the streets lined with vendors Baki finnally spoke up. "Where have you two been all this time?"
"Yamigakure no Sato. The Village hidden in dark. We went there and met these two."
Tala spoke up and motioned to Hoshi and Kohana.
Hoshi took this que to introduce himself. "Hoshi Udenno."
"and I'm Kohana."
Baki nodded his head slightly and continued toward the Kazekage's office.
Looking around her Kohana thought of what may happen next but then she thought of what happened last night.
Flashback. Kohana opened her eyes when she heard Katsuro leave the tent. Changing her gaze "Nightmare?" Kohana asked in a whisper. She was talking about why Katsuro had gotten up. Hoshi propped himself up on his elbows and nodded. "Most likely he was remembering something of his past." Kohana nodded as turned her head to the entrance when she heard singing. "Tala's singing?" Hoshi nodded his head. "She usually does when Katsuro wakes up like this." "How do you know that?" Kohana looked at him suspesciously. Hoshi ignored her look and simply replied "I like to train at night and sometimes I see them sitting by the lake." Kohana blinked and then nodded. "I heard that the late Kazekage was pretty tough, even on Katsuro his own son and then what we heard about Gaara. The demon that was forced inside of him. I'm glad I didn't grow up there." "Things would have been diffrent for us then." Hoshi whispered looking at Katsuro's and Tala's shadows that were cast on the side of the tent because of the fire. "Our village would have been diffrent too if our late leader didn't die. He as a real dictator who loved to have complete control. But now since Naomi became leader when we were four, we weren't forced to do what our parents did." Kohana stated as she laid her head back down. Hoshi nodded his head and laid down as well. "We should get some more sleep.Tomarow might be a bit chaotic." Kohana nodded and allowed sleep to overcome her. End Flashback
to look at Hoshi she noticed that he was awake as well.
Kohana snapped out of her trance when she noticed everyone had stopped.
"We're here." Was all Baki had said before he entered the building with the giant kanji of Wind on the front of it.
Returning home after an event that changed your life may not be easy. Still press foreward because home is where you can find people who care truly deeply for you in the end.
