Chapter 11

Another Angel Appears

Disclaimer:

I do not own Naruto or the characters. The only characters I own the ones that will be listed at the end of the chapter. This story is a rewrite of an older story that I had posted called 'Fallen Angel'. It was made and the character was a huge Mary Sue. Despite having gone away from writing these characters, I wanted to keep true to the story so the character may seem (at least in appearance) to be a Mary Sue. This is also going to be hugely comedy based, though serious times will be thrown around.

Rated M for violence, language, graphical depictions of death, and other things.

I hope you enjoy reading this and don't forget to leave a like and review on how you think I can improve on this story, or my grammar, as I still have a lot to work on. Thank you!

A year had once again come and passed by in the blink of an eye. I was nine years old, or so we assumed since we weren't sure when exactly my birthday was. I don't remember so we normally celebrated on the day I came to live with my dad.

Not much had changed in a year. I was far better at reading now, fully grasping the concept of their written language system. I was also with more weights, though I guess that shouldn't shock anyone.

School had gone by swimmingly. We were about to enter our final year in the school system. Most kids in my class would be turning twelve this year I think since they all turned eleven last year. Oh boy, this was confusing.

Last year at the academy and then we'd all be a ninja. It was a scary yet exciting thought. At the academy, I wasn't known too well for being overpowered (though in my defense I probably was when it came to Taijutsu, chakra, however, I can't). I did decently in my studies since I trained more often than studied.

Something exciting happened though. Gai was given a team of genin to train. This meant he didn't have as much time to spend with me to train, but it was surely an exciting thing. Besides, I still had Ningame and all my friends to keep me entertained when Gai was gone.

It was actually on a lazy day when Gai was home that I found out who was on his team. Neji, Hinata's prick of a cousin that I found out basically bullies her and is far too caught up in fate (Which shouldn't I be a shining example that fate could suck it?). A girl named Tenten who specialized in weapons, something that intrigued me since she also did some fuinjutsu. Then there was the most interesting one, to me at least. Lee.

From what I heard from Gai he wasn't good at using chakra for Justus. He was, in a way, like me where he could only use it to enhance attacks. The only difference was that he had an actual chakra system, while mine was made-up in a way and I could only really train when Jiraiya came to visit, which was far and few between. So far I only had the basic grasp of using the nature chakra around me, since I was special even Jiraiya had trouble figuring out how exactly I was supposed to do it.

Anyway, the fun part of Gai's team is that none of them knew who I was. Well, Neji did, however, I only ever had Hinata (and consequently Neji) sleep over when Gai was gone. Neji had no idea that Gai was my father, which was interesting. I wondered how I could possibly introduce myself to them one of these days. All the team knows, from what Gai has told me, is that he has a daughter. That's it.

He also refers to me as a bee. Something I find funny, though it fit. It started with the senbon needles. I made a joke about my attacks with them having a bit of a sting to them because I began coating them in this one poisonous, paralytic, plant I found from Ino's family. Gai found it funny that I said it had a sting to it and said I was like a bee or something. Then he began to refer to me as such. Kind of like those cute, father-daughter nicknames. Though mine was odder if anything.

"Gai, come on! I have to get to class soon." I whined as Gai was too busy hugging me since it was my last year at the academy, and my first day of it as well. Since he missed my last first day he seemed to have gone all out on this one with making me a giant breakfast and a new pair of weights. How kind.

"Alright, Bee. Just be safe. Shall I run to school with you?" Gai asked and I shook my head and let out a sigh.

"You have a team to get to. I know you told them you'd be later than usual, but being too late might make you seem more like Kakashi." I pointed out, as I had recently found out Kakashi was typically late. Gai smiled and ruffled my hair, making me whine even more since I had put it into a twisted sock bun so it wouldn't get in my way and it still looked pretty.

I made sure my bun was neat then stuck out my tongue before waving to Ningame and making a run for it. I had a class to get to. As I was running I stopped and grabbed an apple at one of the stalls, since more of them knew me, and threw some coin at them. They just laughed at my odd behavior as I took a bite out of the apple.

I made sure the juice didn't get onto my outfit, that sadly hadn't changed since I was a kid. The only difference was I had grown up a bit, not much since I was still only nine (almost ten!) but still. I grew up slightly. I think I was like three inches taller.

I got to class early as per usual and slid into the room. My click was already in class, sitting by one another as we hadn't been assigned seats again. I happily went over to them and smiled brightly.

"Morning guys, ready for our last year?" I asked with a quirky smile and Kiba smiled while Naruto did a fist bump into the air. Hinata just smiled a bit before making a comment.

"You pu-put your hair up." She said and I smiled while gently touching the bun.

"Thanks for noticing, I decided it was best if it was out of the way, but I can't seem to find it in my to cut it all off," I admitted since I was still enjoying having hair. Hinata, with her short haircut, just nodded with a smile. I always found it odd as she was the only one in her family with short hair, but soon found out there was a rumor Sasuke liked girls with long hair. It only made sense she'd have it short so Naruto would know she wasn't into him. Not going to lie, once I found out about the rumor it was a serious debate if I was going to cut my hair off or not.

"I think you'd look cool with short hair," Naruto said as he got closer to me and poked the bun, making me laugh. I'm sure I could pull off the short haired look but consider long hair.

Akamaru jumped onto my lap and began to lick my face while we continued talking (he liked me since I always hid treats for him in my weapon's pouch). Then we heard the door open and Iruka made his appearance. I happened to be in the perfect position to do something really stupid.

I slowly turned in my seat while petting Akamaru and chuckling ominously.

"We've been expecting you, Iruka," I said and he only sighed at my weird antics while Kiba laughed and took Akamaru away from me. We were then assigned seats.

Naruto and I were once again tag-teaming buddies since we got along so well yet still managed to sometimes get our work done. The downside is Sasuke was also with us once again. I couldn't help the smile while patting him on the shoulder.

"Ah looks like we're going to be best friends again, Sasuke." I teased in a playful tone and he just glared at me. Wow, what a social guy. The school day was mostly spent with us socializing a bit and getting our academy books. Good news, nobody threw up at my desk this year!

By the time we were finished I was about to walk home with Hinata when I was stopped by Iruka. I watched as an Anbu ninja left, making note that is was strange, and smiled at Iruka.

"Something wrong?" I asked him and he gave me a small note. It was from the Hokage. I quickly opened it up and it was a simple summons to his office at the fasted time convenient. Sounds good to me.

"Hey Hinata, I can't walk home with you today. Got some important business to attend to. Be safe, kay?" I said and with a small blush she nodded and I was gone, running to the Kage tower with a bright smile. I didn't even bother waiting for someone to give me permission to go in, he summoned me so I was heading for it.

I barged into the office with a smile and shouted at the Hokage.

"Heyo!" It had been a while since I last saw him and I was pretty happy. He was a really cool guy but always busy, making it hard to visit him. That's when I noticed something off.

In his arms was a young girl with pasty white skin, bright green eyes, and a black a line haircut that was pretty short. She almost looked like a doll while she stared at me with those big eyes. She was probably only four at the most.

"Um…who's the kid?" I asked while pointing to the small child that was in his lap at the moment and she looked at me with puffed up cheeks and raised her head as though she were above me.

"Me no kid." She huffed and crossed her arms. She seemed to think she was a little princess or something.

"We found her in the village, by a lake. She had been knocked out so she was taken to the hospital and…we found some similarities to you. From the blood coagulation to the deformity in the backbones." The Hokage explained and my eyes widened. Another angel? She was so young though. Perhaps…she was older when she passed since I had been older?

I took a step closer to her and froze upon seeing something. A pendant in the shape of a leaf. It had a green gemstone in it and I quickly brought my hand to my own sun necklace I still wore. Was this? Memories of a pregnant woman and two girls, each with similar necklaces corresponding to the seasons flashed in my mind.

"Mama?" The name struck me as odd as I remembered the woman I could only assume was my mother. She looked a lot like me I guess. Just…older. I blinked a few times again and walked over to her as she was now standing on her own, being let down by the Hokage. I bent down and shook my head.

My mother had been pregnant. If that were true then…wouldn't that child be three or four by now? The necklace, age, appearance. All of it was overwhelming as I continued to stare at her.

"I'm not your mother, hun…but…" I couldn't even think straight at the time. Does this mean my little sister died at the age of four? I may not remember my family's name or anything like that, but I had a feeling they were probably wrecked from this.

"You look like Fall." She said while pointing to my blonde hair and my eyes widened. Spring, Fall, Winter, Summer. Our names. I remembered them.

"Spring…is that you?" I asked, my breath catching in my throat as she smiled and nodded her head in an innocent manner. This was all too much as I looked at the Hokage with wide eyes.

"I-I think this is my little sister. I don't know how but…I think I can remember…a little. Not much." I said while looking at Spring who was looking between us.

"What all do you remember?" He asked and I racked through my brain, trying to explain as much as I could without giving away too much.

"I remember my name was Summer. I had two sisters, Fall and Winter…and there was another on the way. Spring. That's all I remember." I admitted and the Hokage hummed as he got up and put a hand on my shoulder. I didn't realize I was at the point of tears and shaking until he did so, and I quickly composed myself.

"Is that all?" He asked and I remember a hospital monitor going off. Should I tell him? Could I confide in him? If I didn't and he found out through Spring it could spell trouble for me. I decided I had to.

"I remember dying…then falling here in this village. Spring, what happened to you before you came here?" I asked and she frowned while scratching her head.

"I run and fell on stairs. My head hurt but then I was here!" She said with a smile and I couldn't help but hug her. She fell down the stairs and died. Oh gosh.

"I-I think we might be angels…I'm unsure if people here believe in them but their celestial beings that have died." I finally said while looking at the Hokage who was most interested in this and nodded. He seemed to know what an angel was, thank goodness.

"Why do you think that?" He asked and I sucked in some air while trying to explain. How did you tell someone you had giant wings and could fly?

"I can…show you." I said after a moment of pausing and he nodded. I took off the outer dress so it wouldn't rip as I got my wings out. They burst through the spandex and spread out, going from one wall of the Hokage's office to the other.

It was silent for a while before the Hokage spoke, "This explains a lot. Your loss of memory, lack of chakra coils, and nature energy sticking to you." He said and it did kind of fit together. I wasn't from this world, so I obviously didn't have the chakra system they had. I was also an anomaly, so the chakra no doubt reacted to this and clung to me, as though it were suspicious or something.

"Will you be telling anyone about this?" I asked in a hushed voice and he nodded his head, making my heart sink.

"Since Gai will be your guardian he must know, whoever is chosen to be your sensei will know, as well as Jiraiya." He told me and I felt a bit better. I noticed Spring was entranced by my wings and was playing with one of them.

I moved it slightly, startling her before she went back and was touching and stroking them. It was weird since I could feel it so clearly. Like they were more limbs…though I guess they were.

"Hey, Spring…want a brand new name? Like a fun nickname, but everyone will call you by it?" I asked as she looked over at me and smiled brightly.

"Yay, new name!" She was an odd one, that was for sure. It made sense that we were related.

I looked at the Hokage for suggestions, since he was the one who gave me my name. He seemed to think about it a bit before settling on a perfect name.

"Kotori, it can mean little bird." The Hokage explained and I thought it was perfect, as she most likely also had wings. I'm sure that would be the name he would've given me if he had known. Katsumi and Kotori, a pair of angelic sisters.

"How does that sound, Kotori?" I asked her with a smile and, as she was just a small kid, she seemed to be fine with just about anything.

"Ya, Kotori!" She shouted and I smiled before going to pick her up into my arms. She was so small, much like myself. I turned to the Hokage to see what he had to say.

"So what now? Do you think Gai will let her stay with us?" I asked with a frown and the Hokage thought for a moment before nodding.

"You'll have to ask, but I see no reason to separate you two. Though she will be needing a daycare when you're at school and Gai is training his students." The Hokage said and I had to think of some places I knew of. Not a single once came to mind.

"Do you know any good places? How much they'd cost?" I asked a bit confused as to what I should do and he chuckled a bit.

"There's a daycare not far from your house that she could stay at. Until you're a ninja and are making a proper income I can pay for her stay." The Hokage offered and I perked up. Oh, thank goodness.

"Alright, I guess I should introduce her to Gai. I don't think he'll have a problem with it, especially after he meets her." I chuckled as I held my little sister in my arms. I could only hope Gai was alright with this.

The Hokage nodded before letting me leave. It was a bit strange since I was sure he'd probably have Inomi check her mind, but perhaps she was too young for that?

Before I could leave though, the Hokage remembered something and called out my name.

"Katsuko, if anyone comes to question your…abilities…we will say it is a clan ability and you come from a land far from here, alright?" He said as though he were thinking about a certain person. I wonder who it could be?

"Alright…hey you're not mad, are you?" I asked, as I had basically been hiding this for a few years and he shook his head.

"It is shocking, to say the least, and we'll have to keep an eye on you for obvious reasons." Also known as I can't be fully trusted yet trusted enough to work for them I assume, "Though I don't think you kept this for any malicious reasons. I can understand why you kept it a secret for so long. If certain individuals found out about this it could cause trouble for you and your sister." He finally finished and I sucked in a breath of air.

The thought of me being in trouble wasn't what scared me, it was my sister. I just got a part of my family back. It had been so long since I had seen anyone related to me. I know I didn't know anything about Kotori, but she was family and I had to protect her.

"Alright, thank you for understanding," I said before leaving the building. I made a mad dash to the house as I was now more than a little paranoid that someone could be watching us.

Your first test is coming into play.

I froze at that. What did it mean? I looked around and Kotori seemed confused as I was seemingly looking for something that wasn't there. It had been so long since I heard that voice. Almost a year it seems.

It's up to you to decide if she flies or falls.

I swallowed some saliva as Kotori put a hand on my cheek.

"Sis…what wrong?" She barely knew me yet she was already concerned. I sighed and ruffled her hair like Gai would always do with me.

"Sorry, got lost in thought. Let's go to your new home, okay?" I asked her and I noticed she frowned before she spoke up.

"I don't want new one. I want to go home." She said and I felt my heart break a little. I did too, don't get me wrong, but there was no way.

"I know sweetie, I know. You'll like this home though. There's a really fun but crazy person there and there's this big tortoise there who will let you ride on the back of his shell. Not to mention we have a lot of yummy foods." I said and she scrunched up her eyebrows in an adorable way.

"What a torti?" She asked me with a small head tilt and I melted a bit on the inside.

"It's like a turtle, but they don't swim," I explained to her and she then brightened up and clapped her hands. Apparently, she liked turtles?

"Yay, let's go!" She said as she pointed in a random direction, making me laugh. We slowly walked together, well I walked and carried her until we got to the front door.

Immediately Gai burst through and looks down on me, apparently, he had been waiting for me to get home since it was a bit later than usual.

"I heard the Hokage wanted to see you is everything alright? Who is this?" He asked while looking at the small child in my arms and I took in a breath.

"Would it be alright if we came inside and talked, dad?" I asked him and he nodded as we went in together. I took a seat on the couch, Kotori on my lap, as I began to explain.

"This is…Kotori. She, like myself, fell from the sky and winded up in this village. She's my little sister actually." I explained and Gai's eyes widened and I could hear Ningame walking into the room, clearly interested in what was going on.

"I didn't know you had a sister," Gai commented and I nodded before continuing.

"I had forgotten until I saw her. Since the Hokage would be telling you everything if I don't, I'd rather you hear it from me." I said, my heart beginning to race a bit as I looked him in the eye.

"Is something wrong? Did something happen?" He was being far too concerned but I shook my head.

"I still don't remember much before I woke up in this village. I do know a few things though. I died and someone winded up here. When I was dying I remember the person who I think is my mother was pregnant at the time. That child would've been four by now and…she would've gotten this necklace." I said while showing him the leaf. It looked similar in design to my sun, as though the same person had made them.

"You…died?" He asked and I nodded. It was odd seeing Gai taking something so seriously. I wasn't used to it so I just continued on explaining.

"Kotori was found here not long ago and when I asked what happened she told me she fell down some stairs and then woke up here." I covered her ears at this point, "I'm sure she died then." I explained and Gai's eyes softened while looking at the four-year-old girl in my lap. She had died at such a young age.

"How do you know you…passed away?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders while thinking back on it.

"I remember being in a hospital and being really sick. I think I had been dying for a long time actually. Then I just…passed away. That's not all though…when I came here I found out I was an angel or something." I said and his eyes widened, and I noticed Ningame looking at me with a scrutinizing gaze.

"An angel? How so?" He asked and for the second time that day I stood up and took the dress and let my wings fill the room, showing him. I could feel the feather like things that went around my head and touched my cheeks a bit and once again Kotori was entranced by them.

"This is why…the reason I weigh so little is so that I can fly." I clarified with a small sigh and quickly took them back in. I could tell Gai was shocked right now.

"So…there's that. Now that Kotori is here I felt like I should come clean about everything. I was also wondering if…she could stay here with us?" I asked Gai as Kotori squirmed in my lap and spoke.

"Can I stays?" She asked with a bright smile and Gai looked at her then nodded.

"Of course she can, though she'll be needing some new clothes and we'll have to get some more furniture. You don't mind sharing a room, correct?" Gai asked and I shook my head.

"Not at all, also we could probably share a bed." I did have a double bed after all so it wouldn't be like we were squished or anything.

"Then it's settled. I'm Mighto Gai, and from here on out you'll be living with us." He said while doing the nice guy pose and Kotori chuckled.

A lot had been happening but this was a welcome change. Perhaps…the pieces of the puzzle would start coming together now. With the ominous voice and all and why I'm here. I could only hope.

Story Question: What weapon should Katsuko use? She'll still have senbon needles, but I'm trying to figure out another weapon she would use in fights since she can't use Jutsus.

So…there's something. Ya totally just threw in a new character. Don't worry it will all make sense I do have a plot for this story. The only reason I don't have things outlined is because I ask everyone questions. Also as for the ninkin, the idea has been vetoed. Thinking of giving her a dove though.

Also to Cessau, thank you for your review. It had given me many plot bunnies. Like a lot of them. From the pet and everything. I had already planned on showing her true form already and she may or may not have abilities in her form…kekeke we will have to see since she never uses is she doesn't even know herself.

Hope this chapter doesn't disappoint. Like I said I do have a plot for this story and what will happen.

Special thanks to Cessau, Nightfrightpony, and a guest for leaving reviews. Also, thank you to everyone who has favorited and followed this story, it motivates me to continue writing! Have a great day everyone! Toodles~!
