Time to go to the hidden leaf village
We met at the gate ready to go on our vacations. I already told everyone about my engagement. I had no idea where we were going. I'm not for sure how many people know or who knows but I'm excited.
We started on our adventure and made it to the river that connected Bake-mono with konoha. I set down my backpack with everyone else's.
A burning sensation emanated from my right eye and started to burn across my cheek bone in a swirl. Two or three at a time. I grasped my face and screamed. Kakashi was the first by my side. He told Erica to get a mirror and tried coxing me to take my hand away and lift my headband so he could see it. I did eventually and they all gasped. I stole the mirror and looked in horror at the swirl. My original mark was making its way across, up and down my face. It was red but as it cooled it turned black. It stopped burning, but when or would it ever start up again?
"Can we forget about this and go swimming?" I asked uncomfortably. Everyone started leaving except Cat, Hinata, Sakura, Neji, and Kakashi. Sasuke was kind of leaving but more like he wasn't sure. But Ashley grabbed his arm and yanked him away.
"Trust me. She'll be fine, and even if she isn't she won't admit it. If you attempt to prove her wrong she'll chuck something at you." Ashley said.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Sakura asked. I stood up.
"I'm fine." I snapped.
"Calm down. We're just trying to help." Neji said.
"Maybe I don't need it." I said.
"I think you do." He stated. I looked at his eyes. It was the pale eyes that see everything. I've heard about those. Then I noticed Hinata and Cat had the same eyes. I looked at Kakashi confused. I wonder what happened to his eye. I know about the Uchiha mirror eye clan and the hyuga all seeing eye clan. But he's not from either, he has the last name Hatake. Besides theirs are in both eyes. He's only missing one. He saw my confusion, but didn't pursue on an answer.
"Where are we going?" I asked changing the subject and recovering my eyes.
"It's a surprise." Kakashi said.
"So you know." Catherine said.
"Yup." He said. He's hiding more than that. I ran over and jumped into the river. It was so cold I yowled. I really wish I knew where we were going.

We have arrived at our destination following the river the entire way. Kanoha Village. "I can't go in there, and neither can anyone else from our village." I protested. "It would be a disgrace."
"Who cares? They abandoned you. Besides we need to talk with our Hokage." Might Guy said.
"And I want to say bye to Iruka Sensei." Naruto said. He sounded kinda sad.
"It's never too late to change your mind." I said. He knew what I meant.
"No. I wont leave my brothers, and your whole village excepts me without complaint, and I can get stronger there." He said.
"We'll go in but our demons stay with us." I said.
"Of course." Ino said. She's a strange one. We enter the town gates. Everyone looked at us as we walked through town.
"Awkward." Kiba said.
"Oh well. Deal with it." Choji said.
"We've got to get inside." Hinata said quietly. She looked around blushing. She doesn't seem to like attention.
"I kind of like the attention." Lee said. We walked into the academy and made our way to Iruka's class room. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke walked in first. I peeked inside.
"Hey sensei!" Naruto said. Iruka looked up surprised. I see his scar is still there and his hair was up in a pony tail.
"Naruto! Sakura! Sasuke! Why are you here? I thought you moved to Bake-mono?" Iruka said confused.
"We did sensei. But we came back to visit you." Sakura said. Kakashi walked in.
"Hey Iruka." He said. Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai walked in next.
"We all came to say hey, right Akamaru?" Kiba said. The puppy barked in agreement.
"Where's everyone else?" Iruka asked.
"Be patient." Shino said. Lee, Tenten, Neji, and Guy walked in. They Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, and Asuma.
"We aren't the only ones here to say hi." Asuma said. Iruka looked at him confused. Midori walked in.
"Hey Iruka. Long time no see." She said. He stood up. Her lion and deer followed her. "Meet my daughter Mezuki." She said. He was confused because a back stabbing ninja he used to call friend was named Mezuki. Erica walked in with her bunny and mouse. Iruka walked over to her.
"You're cute. You look a lot like your mom." He said. Erica smiled.
"Oh! Oh! Iruka sensei! Want to meet my brothers?" He asked. Iruka looked very confused and surprised as Zach and Calvin walked in. Their demons walked in behind them.
"I'm Sunumaru Uzumaki and this is Tasuku Uzumaki." Zach said.
"Nice to meet both of you." Iruka said. Ashley and Catherine with their demons walked in next.
"I'm Usagi Uchiha." Ashley said standing next to her brother.
"And I'm Akuma Hyuga." Cat said standing between her sister and her cousin. Neko and Katsune walked in and I followed.
"Hey Iruka." I said. He looked me up and down then walked over and hugged me tight.
"You're suppose to be dead." He whispered.
"I know. Man I've missed you." Tears fell from my eyes. I could feel tears from his as well. He released me.
"You were my sister growing up."
"I'm still your sister." I said.
"You're marred. Too who?" He asked. I pointed at Kakashi. "Congrats."
"Thank you." Kakashi said.
"Visit me sometime." I said.
"I will." Iruka said. "Hey, whatever happened to Aoi Ikumi?"
I bowed my head and giggled. "He became the village sensei."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I recommended him. He's like your twin I swear. But I'm the most powerful ninja."
"I thought the sensei was and was stronger than any hokage dead or alive."
"They are. He is."
"Wow."
"I know."
