Chapter Six: Expectations and Arrivals

Aaya and Usagi arrived at the Village gate, hoping to escape unnoticed.
"I'm kind of scared, you know. Going into a new village, with new people I've never met. You'll never know what they'll be like until it's too late."
"Well, we'll just see when we get there. We can't stop the future from happening, but we can prevent certain things to make the outcome better. That's what I believe anyway." Usagi said as he smiled at Aaya. Just then, the ANBU arrived.
"Are you guys Aaya Shijihiro and Usagi?" the ANBU asked hopping over the gate as his other partner was on guard.
"Yes, we are."
"Then please, follow us." The ANBU lead them out of the gate to start their journey to Konohagure.

-Weeks Pass Until Till They Finally Arrive At Konoha (Midnight)-

"Hey, you two, wake up, we're finally here." The ANBU said as he carried the two on his back. As they opened the village gate, they were greeted by the 3rd Hokage.
"You brought them here, safely. Thank you for that, it had me worried." The 3rd sighed.
"No need to thank us, my lord. Anytime." The ANBU said as brought them into the Hokage's house and set them on the bed and closed the door. He removed his ANBU mask, making his grayish hair spring up.
"This makes me… want to have my own child. Seeing you has inspired me. But, I'm afraid that the villagers will be scared of you. Terrified of what kind of training you have undergone, maybe surpassing our own Jounin. I don't….want them to judge you." The ANBU said as he talked to the sleeping bodies. He left.

-Morning-

Aaya slowly opened her eyes and sat up, yawning. Turning to her side, she screamed as the 3rd was standing there staring at her.
"Uh…um. I'm Sorry!!! I'm so disrespectful, I didn't mean to scream and all. I, uh…. I should shut up now…." Aaya said frantically bowing on the floor.
"Aaya…may I call you that?"
"You can call me whatever you wish to call me."
"About that…Aaya, you are not in your village anymore. The Leaf Village isn't as strict as yours was. There is no bowing… especially on the floor. There is no need to call me Dono either, just Hokage or Lord Hokage will do just fine."
"It just doesn't seem right to me. It is how I was raised. Changing it now just seems disrespectful."
"It's not. If you're going to live here, at least temporarily, you should adjust your way of living to fit in."
"I…um. I uh, I don't really know what to say now. I'll do my best…Lord Hokage."
Aaya got up and trying not to disturb Usagi, she headed outside. Exploring the village, everybody kept staring at her. Like she was an outcast, it was no difference where she was, nobody liked her. She walked into the academy and spied a boy training with his teacher, a bright, yellow, young looking guy. The student had spiky gray hair and a mask covering over half his face. (A/N- All ages are changed. I don't care anymore. Just go along with it ok? No complaining either, jeez.)
"Oh, um, may I help you?" The Bright haired teacher asked Aaya.
"Um, no… I'm just wandering around. I'm sorry to disturb you! Please accept my apologies!" Aaya said bowing to him on the ground.
"Uh… there's no need to apologize, really! You're not from around here are you? Your accent is strong. What's your name?"
"It's…Aaya. Aaya Shijihiro. I'm… here temporarily."
"Wait, YOU'RE AAYA! THE GREAT AAYA WE HAVE BEEN HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT!!! Wow, it's an honor to finally meet you! Wow, I've never met a Kunoichi from the Cloud village, I thought they were illegal! And for you to be directly related to Kazuma, and he has no idea, that takes major skill! Kakashi, this girl should be you inspiration to thrive as a male shinobi!" The guy said as he was practically yelling and shaking Aaya's hand.
"Uh… thanks, I guess!"
"By the way, the name's Yondaime, I'm the 4th Hokage. This is my student, Kakashi. He's not very friendly though! He's probably shy because he's not used to be talking to girls that rival his power! Or any girls in general! Ha!" Yondaime said as he laughed in Kakashi's face. Kakashi just sighed and sat down, looking bored.
"Whatever, what's a dumb girl doing here anyway? They could never beat me. After all, it is a male's job to protect a woman. Not the other way around." Kakashi said as he sighed.
"Well, then, since you put it that way, this "dumb girl" could save your life one day. Then, I doubt you'd still be saying what you are now." Aaya said as she walked about quite pissed. This was why she left her village and yet people are acting and saying things the same way. Aaya closed the door and turned around to meet Usagi in front of her face.
"Aaya, I've been looking for you." Usagi said plainly.
"I'm sorry; I've… been here for like 10 minutes or so. Why? What's wrong?"
"You do realize that your father will notice your presence is not there. Then, he'd probably come here and track you down."
"I doubt that. I don't think he's that smart."
"He has been ruler for over 15 years and I think that he'd have experience by now."
"Well then, I'll just have to wait and see till' the time comes."
