Chapter Ten
I began to open my eyes, vision blurry, everything sounded like my head was underwater. I yawned to pop my ears, and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision, until I was able to see and hear clearly.
I began to sit up, then remembered someone was laying on my lap. I looked down and realized no one was there. I looked up and around me to see if anyone was around. No one, the house was completely empty.
Becoming worried I stood up and walked around the house…of course I don't know where I'm going, or what room I would end up in. I had to take my chances.
I walked up to the first door, opened it and ended up in a hall closet….doubt anyone is in there. I walked to the next door, opened it and this time I ended up in a room. This room had a small bed that hadn't been slept in, and a small stuffed dog laying on the bed. I walked into the room….who's room is this?
Looking around I noticed a picture of Red, Hissori, a baby, and myself….The baby must be Sage, once again Kiba wasn't in the picture. I picked the picture up, and flipped it over to read the back. I was right…the baby was Sage, she was only 6-weeks old
I then looked at the date, it said: 'Nov. 14' I then looked back up and counted back, trying to figure out my own daughters birthday. Oct. 2 that's Sages birthday. I looked up at the calendar in the room to see what today's date was.
I let out a sigh of relief, I still had many months before Sages birthday. Which was a good thing, because I don't know what I would do if I had to deal with any birthdays.
I then put the picture back down, and looked around the room more….until I realized I completely forgot why I was even in this room…I was looking for something, but what?
I sat on the edge of the little bed, placed my head in my hands, and began to think…trying to remember….this his face flashed back into my memory….it was that same guy from last nights dream…um…Sasuke I think…why did I just think about him…..
I sighed and laid back on the small bed, looking up at the ceiling trying to figure out who that guy was….maybe Red or Hissori know who he is….I sat back up, I'll ask one of them today…
I sighed again when I realized I wasn't trying to remember what it was I was looking for in this room…I rolled my eyes becoming annoyed more than anything and stood up. That was when I remembered what I was looking for…I was trying to find Sage, Kiba, or pretty much anyone….
I quickly left the room before I forgot what I'm looking for again. This time I walked to the room across for the last room. I walked into the room, and found myself in a bigger room, not by much, but it was bigger. This must be my room…
I began to look around the room when I noticed a small notebook on a table by the bed. I sat on the bed and opened to a random date, this must be my journal. Maybe I can learn something about myself by reading it…
I began to read date entry: Feb. 5, 2005.
As I read the entry, my eyes widen and I felt as though I was going to be sick.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sage and I got up early and decided to let Awaii sleep in, so we left the house and went to the market.
"What do you think we should have for dinner?" I asked Sage. I looked down at her, she was sitting on top of Akamaru.
She looked up at me, "Do you like my mom?" She asked
Not what I was expecting to hear…."Uh…well you see…" I sighed, "Yea…I do" I answered. I could feel my face heating up a little…yep, I was blushing…
Sage began to giggle as she saw me blush, "Lets have noodles" She said as she petted Akamaru.
"You just had noodles…didn't you…how about rice balls?" I replied, she nodded and I bought some stuff to make rice balls.
"Hey Sage…Hey Kiba" we turned around and saw Red, Hissori, and Mashira walking towards us…Red and Hissori waving at us.
Sage then jumped off of Akamaru and ran over towards the two girls. "RED! HISSORI!" She shouted smiling.
"where's your mom at Sage?" Red asked smiling down at Sage.
"She's at home…she was still asleep when we got up, so we decided to let her sleep in" I answered walking over towards them, "Is something wrong?" I asked
She then looked up at Hissori, then at me with a serious look on her face, "are you sure….because we were just there….and no one answered the door"
I nodded, "Positive, maybe she's still asleep"
Hissori shook her head, "I went to unlock the door, but it was already unlocked, so I opened it, and no one was there"
I began to get worried, "you mean she wasn't there…did anything look out of place…like there was a fight?" I asked, trying not to scare Sage, I then looked down at Sage, "Why don't you, Akamaru, and Mashira go to the park…there's something we need to take care of"
She nodded, then began to walk with both animals to the park.
I looked back at Hissori and Red, "Do you know were she could be?" I asked
The shook their heads, "Do you think we would bother you guys if we did" Hissori said, as though that was a dumb question to ask.
"We should head back to the house, I'll be able to tell where she went by her scent…I'll also be able to tell if anyone else was there with her" I said. The two of them nodded and we began to head to the house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hissori was running beside me, she looked over at me, I could tell there was something she would want to know….I sighed, "What is it Hissori?" I asked while still running.
She looked a bit confused, "How can he tell were she went?" She asked, "Is it like some kind of stalker thing…"
I shook my head, " No…its nothing like that, Hissori he is also a ninja like Awaii….and his thing is tracking…." I explained
She then looked back up at Kiba, " So he's like a dog?" She asked.
I laughed a little and nodded my head, "Yea….something like that"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once we got to the house, I began to sniff around. I walked down the hall, then into Sages room, "She was in there for a while, but then left the room" I walked out of her room, and into Awaiis room. I walked over to the bed, and saw a notebook on the floor, I picked it up, "What's this?" I asked
Red grabbed the book from my hands, "Its Awaiis journal, she wrote everything in it…." She opened the book, and flipped threw the pages, then stopped on one page. Her face went pale, "This isn't good" She gasped
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's wrong?" Kiba asked looking now even more worried than before.
Hissori walked over to me, and looked at the page I stopped at, she read the first few lines, then quickly looked away, "You don't think she…"
I nodded, "If she read this page….then we have to find her fast, who knows what she'll do to herself" I said.
"What what's on the page….what does it say?" Kiba asked looking at the two of us.
"This is…well it was written a few nights after Sasuke attacked her" I got a serious look on my face, "This page was suppose to be her 'good-bye' note….it says everything that happened to her…and…." I looked back down at the page, "and how she was planning on killing herself."
I could barley hear Kiba say something under his breath, then, "We have to find her, NOW!" he began to sniff the air again, he then ran out of the house.
Hissori and I quickly followed behind him, he was heading into the forest, out of the village. He then ran past the forest and was heading towards a cliff area.
Please Awaii…don't do anything stupid…remember you still have Sage to take care of…and also there are people here who care for you, and will help you.
I then realized where we were heading…the same spot I first meet Awai at….the place I stopped her from hurting herself…..the place we became friends…we were heading to 'suicidal cliffs'
-End of Chapter, sorry if it's too short….I just don't really know what to put after that, so that's why I stopped. Anyways, what will Awaii do at the cliff….and will the others be able to help her, will they explain to her why they lied to her…and will she forgive them….well you gotta wait till next time to figure it out…so until then-
