Chapter 10

(Terra)

I woke up in this time, not quite so unfamiliar surroundings. I was back in the hospital. Great. My life was so unbelievably predictable. I got up and slid by the sliding doors. I jumped down into the street. I started to walk back to my flat.

When I got home I opened the door and was met with a great surprise.

"Hakura!" I cried. A husky dog jumped up and licked my face. He got back down and went into the kitchen. I followed him there now fully aware of my own rumbling stomach. Hakura was my husky. I loved him and he followed me everywhere. To be honest with all that has happened I had completely forgotten about him. Boy that made me feel bad. On the night my parents were killed he was sleeping under my bed.

As I walked over to my fridge with Hakura standing by the side of it, I heard a cup being put down on a sideboard. I turned round quickly with my fists raised.

"Kakashi! You scared me!" I lowered my hands. So that's why Hakura didn't growl. Kakashi just looked at me coldly. Oh great, so I just got out of hospital and this is how he treats me. Oh yeah. Then I remembered. I had run away.

"You're out of hospital early"

"Kakashi I'm sorry, it's just… wait a minute! Why am I saying sorry!" I shouted at him. Suddenly the tables had turned and he was the one feeling bad. "You told her didn't you? And now thanks to you I bet she wants me to leave, and never…"

"No she doesn't" Kakashi cut in. I looked at him quizzically. "She said she will be happy to have you here. There will be no one watching you, tagging you, spying on you. Whatever. You're now a member of this village" suddenly I realised why Kakashi hade decided to become a member of this village. Everyone was so forgiving and nice.

"Okay, I'm…"

"Forget about it" said Kakashi. "Anyway why are you out of hospital early?" I looked at my feet. Kakashi sighed. "Oh well, not much we can do now" then I remembered something.

"What happened to Gaara and his team mates?" I felt bad hurting Temari, and especially Kankuro.

"I hear you summoned a fire dragon. Kankuro was quite badly hurt you know, and as for Temari, well she's a tough girl she'll be fine." Again, I was looking at my feet. Hakura whimpered. I walked over to a cupboard and got out some dog food. I squeezed the tin and the lid popped off. I grabbed his bowl from the cupboard under the sink; put it on the floor then put the meat into it. Hakura fell upon it hungrily.

"So what now?" I asked.

"Training. Tomorrow 7:15am. At the bridge. Got it?" I nodded. Kakashi walked out and I followed him out with Hakura having finished his dinner trotting happily behind me. I closed the door and locked it.

"Well see you later, I'm taking Hakura for a walk" Kakashi turned round to face me. He brushed a piece of hair from my face.

"Terra, you know, if you have anything you want to know, or say, just come to me, okay?" I nodded and gave him a hug.

"Thank you" I whispered. He pulled away and turned to leave.

"Remember, 7:15am" I groaned at the thought of getting up so early. He smiled and left.

"C'mon Hakura, it's just me and you now." I began to walk through the streets until I got to the woods.

The woods were quiet and peaceful. Just the way I liked it. I jumped onto a tree branch with Hakura following me. We jumped and jumped until I started to hear the sound of water gushing. We came to a massive waterfall. I jumped down from the tree and Hakura launched himself into the water. I laughed at his eagerness. We both loved the water. I started to get unchanged. When I was changed I was wearing my tight black shorts that I always wore under my skirt and a black bikini top. I dived into the water perfectly, leaving no splash. I resurfaced taking a big gulp of air and brushing my now wet hair from my face. I surface dived into the water once more and swam underneath. Under the water it was so peaceful. I scraped along the sandy bottom of the river and twirled around and around. At that moment I felt at peace with the world. I resurfaced and took a breath. Hakura was splashing around having great fun. I took a step and began to walk on the water like it was solid ground. This was nothing special. Everyone who could mould chakra could do it; the weird thing was that I didn't use chakra. I walked over to the waterfall and let the water cascade around my shoulders, the water flowing down my body in rivulets. I suddenly became aware of someone else there. I stepped out from the waterfall and casually came over to the side and got changed. I whistled to Hakura. I walked over to the tree that my 'watcher' was.

"You can come down now" I said. Nothing moved. "If you don't get your perverted ass down here right now, I'll come and drag it down here". Suddenly a blur of orange fell from the tree. "You?" I whispered under my breath. Suddenly a blur of blue followed him. I nearly froze up at the site of him, and then Gaara's words came to my mind.

Terra, you don't need to run away from who you are

I laughed as they picked them selves up. Naruto and Sasuke. They looked at me. I stopped laughing and tried to look serious. I was laughing so hard inside.

"So what are you perverts doing?" before I realised what was happening, I noticed them looking at Hakura. He was growling. Naruto and Sasuke were looking at Hakura warily. I had to make sure that Hakura knew they were friends.

"We were asked to keep a tag on you" said Sasuke cooly. So Kakashi lied. Oh well. I guess it's only for a while. I put my hand out and smiled. Naruto took it and shook it. Hakura stopped growling. I started to laugh again. They looked at me like I was mad.

"Sorry, but that's a lame excuse" they looked at me bewildered. "I'm just joking" I said smiling. "So what now?"

"We were asked to take you to where we are training tomorrow" said Naruto. I nodded. We jumped into the trees. Naruto behind me, Sasuke in front of me and Hakura by my side. After a while I began to feel dizzy. I stumbled and nearly fell. I stopped and knelt down to catch my breath while Hakura barked to let Sasuke and Naruto know what was going on. Sasuke turned round.

"Hey, are you alright?" he began walking towards me. I flinched as he got nearer. I still wasn't fully used to him yet. He stopped and looked at me.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just felt a bit dizzy. I'm okay now" I stood up and looked behind me. "Umm… where's Naruto?" I asked. Sasuke sighed.

"I thought I heard someone fall out of a tree…" he mumbled. I knelt down next to Hakura and looked into his eyes.

"Listen boy. I need you to find Naruto and lead him to where Sasuke and I are going. Make sure he's not in trouble okay?" I stroked him. Hakura gave an appreciative bark and ran back from the direction we came in. Sasuke and I ran on for about five minutes and arrived at our destination.

It was a wooden bridge over a massive gorge. I walked onto the bridge and perched on one of the sides. Sasuke leaned against the banister.

"Wow, it's pretty stunning" I said. Sasuke didn't say anything. Suddenly I started to feel dizzy again. Everything was going black, but before I blacked out I heard someone shouting and something cracking.

Authoress: Poor Terra… she's always in trouble. My name is like hers. Mine is Terra-kun and hers is Terra… weird isn't it?

Disclaimer: her head defiantly isn't back to normal… so can I just say please R&R.

Authoress: What does that stand for? Rabbit Rabies?
