Chapter 10: Amnesia

A group of six travelers were making their way through the vast canyon whenever they saw a body of a petite female lying on the ground face down. The women of the travelers all gasped and ran towards the young girl, turning her bruised and battered body over for inspection, "What do you see Yumi?" Yumi shook her head, "Dunno Shizurai…" Shizurai looked at the other girl, "What do you think Khanna?" Khanna sighed, "I have no idea Shizurai…" Khanna felt terrible for this young girl.

Yumi clasped her hands together, "She's simply too adorable! Her pink hair is so pretty and long!" Shizurai nodded with a gleam in her eyes, "Right!? She's too cute! I wonder how old she is… wait… is she even alive!?" Khanna sighed, "Yes Shizurai she's alive… but barely…" Suddenly the young girl's eyes opened slightly to show bright emerald green orbs and Khanna kneeled next to her, "Don't be afraid sweetie we are travelers making our way back home, are you all right?" The young girl just stared at Khanna with sorrow filled eyes, breaking the three women's hearts.

Khanna looked over at the men whom were now relaxing and sighed, "Furro, come here!" He instantly dropped his cigarette and ran over. Khanna instructed Furro to pick the young girl up and carry her back to their village. The other two men snickered at Furro, making Yumi and Shizurai glare at them, "Kinto, Hiro, I don't know what you two are snickering at! You will all be carrying the girl!" The young girl looked at Khanna, "Who are you…?" Khanna smiled, "My name is Khanna and the man that is carrying you is my husband, Furro. Over there is my best friend Yumi and her husband Kinto and her two teenagers Shizurai and Hiro. What is your name…?" The young girl seemed to be thinking extremely hard over this, "I… I don't know…" Khanna paused, "Do you know how old you are?" The young girl pondered for a moment, "Eighteen I think…"

Khanna stopped walking as her long violet hair blew past her. Yumi stopped, "Khanna are you okay?" Khanna looked over at Yumi, her aqua eyes filled with tears, "Poor thing… doesn't even remember who she is…" Shizurai bounded up to Khanna, "Aunt Khanna you should adopt her!" Yumi nodded, "Indeed you should Khanna." Khanna had always wanted a daughter but had miscarried four times and gave up, and since this young girl wasn't married it was tradition that the daughter stayed with the family until wedded. She then ran up to Furro and talked it over with him after he had passed the girl on gently to Kinto. Furro nodded eagerly, "What a fantastic idea Khanna!"

Once the young girl was passed to Hiro they were about thirty minutes away from their village, "Hi, my name is Hiro." The young girl blushed slightly as this handsome young man carrying her. Hiro had messy brown hair with one random blonde streak in it, crimson red colored eyes, tanned skin, and an extremely muscular body. Hiro grinned at her, "I'm eighteen as well miss! You took a nasty tumble I'm guessing." The young girl shrugged, "I can't remember…" Suddenly a gasp followed with giggles was heard between Yumi, Shizurai and Khanna, "IT'S PERFECT!" Hiro stopped and turned, showing an 'X' shaped scar on his right cheek, "Geez you three, what's the deal?" Khanna ran up, "Until you remember your name I'm going to call you Kisa!" Hiro chuckled and grinned, "Well it's nice to meet you Kisa." Kisa smiled, "Nice to meet you too Hiro, I think I'm okay to walk now…" Hiro raised an eyebrow, "You sure?" Kisa nodded, "Positive!" Hiro nodded, "All right, but at least hold my hand or arm in case you feel dizzy or light headed. Kisa blushed and held Hiro's hand making two of the women awe. Shizurai gagged like watching her older brother with a girl was the most disgusting thing in the world.

They finally came up to a medium sized quiet village that had fields of flowers surrounding it. Hiro smiled, "Welcome to your new home Kisa, The Cherry Blossom Village." Kisa smiled, "I have a home…" Her long pink hair blew in the wind serenely as Khanna and Furro came up to her, "Ready to go home Kisa?" Kisa nodded eagerly and watched as everyone came out to welcome the travelers back home. Khanna smiled, "You see Kisa, Yumi and Kinto live next door to us. So you will always be able to see Hiro…" Kisa turned bright red and shielded her eyes with her bangs.

-With Team Kakashi-

Deidara ran as fast as he could to find a way down the canyon as Sai created an ink bird large enough to hold all of them to search for Sakura. Once lowered to the canyon floor they found no body making Naruto question out loud, "Where's her body?! She couldn't have survived that fall!" Sai looked at Naruto, "This is Sakura we are talking about…" Deidara jumped off of the bird and ran to a shiny metal object on the ground and picked it up, "Hey guys take a look at this…" Deidara turned to show Sakura's headband. Everyone's face drained of color and Naruto began panicking, "She could be seriously hurt!" Sai nodded, "Indeed she could be but…" Deidara and Naruto both glared at Sai yelling in union, "BUT WHAT!" Sai looked down, "Do not forget we have a mission to complete…"

Naruto ground his teeth together, "FUCK THE MISSION! SAKURA COULD BE DYING FOR ALL WE KNOW!" Suzuna scowled, "I will not pay you unless you three get me home in time." Sai began to rub his temples, "The village needs the money you two… As soon as we drop her off we will come straight back here and search for her." Deidara couldn't believe his ears, "That will be four days from now!" Sai shook his head, "I am team leader, so what I say, goes."

Deidara and Naruto both nodded in defeat, "All right…"
