She's the Migashiba girl? I don't believe it' Sasuke thought.
Naruto refused to believe it. How can such a nice girl be someone so evil? "Maybe we're at the wrong meadow."
"I don't think we're at the wrong place." Sasuke replied.
Everyone was too stunned to say anything else. Hikari couldn't be a Migashiba. Hikari wasn't mean at all.
'I'm going to settle this once and for all. It can't be true.' Sakura was getting up to go talk to Hikari when Sasuke stopped her.
"We can't blow our cover, not yet. Let's watch her for a while. Then we'll talk to her."
"Okay"
They sat in the trees until Hikari got up and was heading back toward town. They have an idea of how Hikari daily routine goes. Hikari would go around and ask for jobs. But all the previous jobs Hikari had were gone. People knew who she was now. Someone had told everyone the truth of Hikari. (You can guess who). Everyone who passed by her gave her dirty looks. They wouldn't give any jobs for her to do. People "accidentally" bumped roughly into her. They shoved her out of the way. But Hikari still asked for work. She finally sat down on a bench to rest for the walking she had done.
'Great now everyone knows. What should I do? What can I do?'
Hikari was being glared at which made her uncomfortable. People called her dirty names like pest, filthy rat, street rat, and more names that are too bad to write. To Sakura's surprise Hikari didn't respond to the name calling or the physical touches like the shoving. Sasuke didn't know why but when ever someone pushed her or called her names he got angry, and so did Naruto and Sakura. 'Why isn't she doing anything?! People are walking all over her.' Sasuke thought. But Hikari was strangely still polite to everyone she talked to or saw. She smiled at everyone.
"She's a lot like me, unwanted." Naruto said sadly.
Sakura looked at Naruto. "No, she's different. She did many terrible things. She continued to make people's lives miserable." Sakura was trying to convince herself that Hikari was bad.
Then the anbu appeared behind them. "Alright, your mission is done. You are to watch her tomorrow. Okay?"
They nodded and left. They walked back toward the forest thinking about the events of today.
"What should we do?" asked Sakura.
Naruto looked at her puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Well I mean she's a Migashiba. I don't think we should talk to her."
"Why?"
"We'll be talked about."
As they were discussing the problem, Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji showed up.
"Hey Sasuke!" Ino grabbed Sasuke and wrapped her arms around him. Ino didn't hear Sakura yell her so she let Sasuke go. "Why the long face Sakura? All of you look like someone died."
Sakura looked up at Ino. "We know who the Migashiba girl is?"
Ino straighten up. "Who?"
Naruto said, "Hikari."
"What? No way!" Choji said.
"I knew that this would turn out to be bad." Shikamaru put his head down and folded his arms.
Ino was as shocked as anyone. "Are you sure?"
Sakura slowly nodded her head.
"Well you know what Ami said about her."
Naruto got angry. "But she's our friend."
Sakura asked, "What are we going to do?"
Ino was getting frustrated. "I don't know. I wasn't ready for something like this."
As they were talking about what they should do, Hikari was walking their way. She was exhausted from her day of disappointment. She didn't take notice of who she was walking into. She walked right into Sasuke.
"Oh sorry Sasuke. I wasn't paying attention." she smiled but it faded as she looked at everyone else. "Hey, is there something wrong?"
They avoided her gaze.
Ino said in an emotionless tone, "Nope everything is fine."
Hikari felt like someone just took a rusty knife and stabbed her in the heart and just left it there for her to bleed out. She often got this feeling from other people. But this time it was much worse because it was coming from the people who she thought who were her friends. 'I guess they know then.' "Okay then I'll just go now."
They all saw the sad look in her eyes. Naruto looked like he wanted to say something but chose not to.
"Whatever." Ino said not looking at her.
That hurt Hikari a lot. Just yesterday they were laughing together. 'I guess they're all the same.' "Bye"
After Hikari left them, Naruto shouted, "That was mean."
"Well it's not like you did anything about it." Shikamaru said.
Sasuke was sick of this. He didn't want to talk about this anymore. He walked away. "Don't forget the mission tomorrow is early."
At Anko's
"Hey Hikari, what's wrong?"
Hikari was sitting in the kitchen staring into space. 'If I tell Anko, she'll probably go on a killing spree.' "Nothing" she smiled "What did you do today?"
"Let's see. Nothing" Anko was smiling evilly.
"Uh Oh."
"What? I didn't do anything!" Anko was trying not to smile but failed miserably.
"Every time you say, nothing, you did something. And I mean something bad. So you might as well tell me now."
Anko was pushing her fingers together. (Like Hinata does.) "Umm, well you see it wasn't my fault."
"It's never your fault Anko."
"Fine I just won't tell you what happened"
"Fine. Don't tell me. I don't want to hear." Hikari knew that Anko couldn't keep her mouth shut. Anko would eventually tell her. '5…4…3…2…1... .'
"Okay fine I'll tell you anyway. Again I tell you it isn't my fault."
"Sure whatever."
"You don't even know what happened. I can't believe you. You just assume it's my fault.
Hikari tilted her head to the side. "Is it not at all your fault?"
Anko's face turned red. "That's beside the point."
"Sure it is." Hikari patted Anko on top of the head. "So tell me what you, quote, didn't do, unquote."
"Okay, today after you left I went to shop for weapons and other stuff. Well, you know the guy who owns the weapon shop, by the ramen shop?"
"Murphy?"
"That's the guy! Any way, we got into a…. disagreement you could say."
'Oh boy. This isn't going to end up good.' Hikari thought.
"He said that I shouldn't be leaning against the window. That I would break it! That jerk! So, I pushed really hard, but not to hard, on the window. I was going to prove that he was wrong and..."
"You pushed on the window? Why on earth would you do that?!"
"Stop interrupting! Do you want me to tell you the story or what? Well, one thing led to another. A lot of broken glass and a little bit of blood but that's about it."
"That's it!" Hikari smacked her head. "Were you the one that was bleeding?"
"Nope" she said with a big smile. "Let's just say Murphy learned to fly."
Hikari put her hands up. "I don't even want to here it. You need help crazy lady! Goodnight."
HaHa Anko's crazy. Please review.
