Chapter 7 (still 12)
It took eleven days for Samatha to finally wake up. Kristine stayed by Samatha's side through those eleven days. Kristine wouldn't even leave to go and sleep; so her team would go to practice without her but after practice they would come sit with her for the rest of the day.
Samatha woke up surrounded by people she didn't even know.
'Who are these people and why are they here,' Samatha thought.
While Samatha was thinking Kristine started to wake up herself. When she [Kristine] looked up, she noticed that Samatha was up as well. Kristine also noticed that Samatha had a look on her face that said who the hell are you?
"Hey how are you feeling" Kristine asked Samatha.
"I am feeling fine but may I ask who are you? I don't think I ever meant you before," Samatha asked a little afraid.
"Oh. My name is Kristine but most people know me as the Fourth Hokage's daughter," Kristine said calmly.
"Oh. I am sorry. I didn't realize. I didn't mean to sound rudeā¦" Samatha started to say when Kristine cut her off.
"It's no big deal. I would rather people not notice me, I would like staying to myself. But that never really works out the way I plan it," Kristine explained to Samatha.
"But I do have a question. Why are you, the Fourth Hokage's daughter, doing here with me in the hospital," Samatha asked curiously.
"Well that is kind of hard to explain. I don't know how to put it," Kristine stumbled to say.
"Well you are here because I asked you to look after her that's why," said the Fourth Hokage.
"But my parents could have looked after me," Samatha pointed out.
"Yes they could have. But I wanted someone that I knew was strong enough to protect you. Your parents wouldn't be able to because my daughter knows the person who attacked you and she knows their weaknesses" (Fourth Hokage).
"Oh. Ok," (Samatha)
"Kristine was also the one who brought you to the hospital. She saved your life," (Fourth Hokage).
"Oh, thank you very much. So you were the one that I saw last before I blacked out," (Samatha).
"Yes, that was me," (Kristine).
"When I first saw you, I thought you were my mom," (Samatha).
"Now, why do you say that?" (Fourth Hokage)
"Well I feel like I don't belong to the people that raised me. Both Josefina and Justine do to, we feel this way because we are so very different from our families," (Samatha)
"Well I don't think I can be your mom I am to young. I am only seven years older then you," (Kristine).
So before anyone could say anything more Kristine ran out the door. She didn't want Samatha to know the truth at least not yet. Kristine just wants them to try and live a normal life. She doesn't want their lives to go down the path hers is going. She is also worrying that they will be tormented and experimented on like she was. She went walking while wandering around; she started remembering how she was treated when she was younger. She remembered that ever night she cried bloody murder but there was no one around to hear her. Those nights she would just curl up into a ball and try to imagine what her life would be like if she ever got out of there. Kristine never thought she would always be on the run. But she hoped that one day that all the running would come to an end.
While in her thoughts Kristine was interrupted by a yell for help. Kristine immediately went to the source of the yell. There she found a girl running from an older man with his hood over his face. When Kristine realized that the girl was Josefina she jumped in with out hesitating.
"Why don't you leave the girl alone and worry about me instead," (Kristine).
Josefina stopped running and looked back at who was saving her.
"You can stop hiding your face I know who you are already, Kyle," (Kristine).
Josefina just stood there watching and wandering how the girl [Kristine] saving her knew the person who was chasing her.
"How did you know it was me?" (Kyle).
"I knew who it was because of who you were chasing," (Kristine).
"So you do watch over them don't you? How nice. But do they know who you are to them? Or did you not have the guts to tell them the truth," (Kyle).
"They don't need to know the truth. The truth will lead them down a path they don't need to be living on. That path would destroy their lives and I wont let that happen," (Kristine).
"So you would rather them live a lie with people that aren't related to them in anyway?" (Kyle).
"Their not living a lie. Their just living their lives with different people, that's all. I also thought that they would be left alone and you would never find them. But I guess I was wrong there," (Kristine).
"Ha, of course we found them. Did you forget that their power level is out of this world? It did take sometime to sense them because they weren't old enough to even use their powers yet. I think that Josefina over there . . ." Kyle says while pointing at Josefina, "has figured out that she is different from the towns people just like how Samatha and Justin Jr. have. Isn't that right Josefina?"
Kristine turns around to see that Josefina has been standing there the whole time.
"Yeah that's right. The three of us have figured out that we are different from our families. But we don't care because they still love us even with the different powers," (Josefina).
"Josefina I want you to run home right now. You shouldn't stay here longer it's not safe," (Kristine).
"Why don't you just tell her already? Go ahead tell her that you're her mother, Kristine," (Kyle).
Kristine turned back around to face Kyle. Kyle knew she is pissed just by the way she stared him down. She has a look on her face that said if you say another word your balls will be shoved down your throat.
"Whoops! Did that hit a nerve? I think it did," (Kyle).
"Wait, what does he mean by you're my mother? My mother is dead," Josefina asked confused.
"Well Kristine will have to explain it," (Kyle).
"Kyle you're a fucking asshole. She doesn't need to know at least not yet," Kristine yelled at Kyle while he was walking away.
"So what did he mean when he said you're my mother?" Josefina asked.
"I will explain it to you when you get older. I think you're to young to understand," (Kristine).
While Kristine was saving Josefina; her teammate Obito was dying. Obito was hurt trying to protect Kakashi from a wall that was falling over. What Kakashi and Obito were doing was saving Rin from her kidnappers. That is when things went wrong.
When Rin and Kakashi got back from the scene they went looking for Kristine.
"There she is," Kristine heard someone shout.
'Now who is looking for trouble' Kristine thought as she stopped walking and turned around. But instead of seeing trouble she saw her angry teammates.
"What's going on?" Kristine asked as she started to head towards them.
When they meant each other they stopped and all there was for a few minutes of silence.
"So what's wrong?" Kristine asked to break the silence and to find out why they are so mad.
"What's wrong? I will tell you what's wrong. You could have stopped this whole mess from ever happening, but no you don't like working as a team," Rin went off on Kristine.
"Wait a minute Rin. What are you talking about and why is Kakashi wearing his headband over his left eye all . . ." that is when it finally hit Kristine. She realized that Obito was dead and she wasn't there to save him.
Kristine was about to break down crying when she remembered what else was happening at this time.
(Author's note) ___________________________________________________________
By the way Kristine can see the future. She knew this was coming but didn't know she would have to save Josefina.
(End of note) ____________________________________________________________
What she remembered was the Fourth Hokage is fighting the Nine Tailed Fox Demon right now. She knew if she isn't there he is going to die. She doesn't want to have two deaths on her shoulders.
When she took off both Kakashi and Rin yelled "Where are you going?"
"I have to go and try to save the Fourth Hokage. If I don't then you two will blame his death on me just like you are Obito's death. So will the villagers" Kristine yelled back.
By the time Kristine finally arrived the Fourth Hokage was already using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. Kristine ran up to him to try and stop him. But the fourth Hokage just knocked her out and laid her to the side where she was safe. But before she was out all the way she heard him say "I love you like my own child and I am sorry but I must do this" and the Fourth Hokage dead. She knew that he gave his life to protect the village but the willagers wouldn't see it that way. So she left the village before anyone saw her at the scene. She never looked back on her way out.
