HI

"What do you mean they are paying us another visit….., who is us?" I asked.

"The group Hanami get your shit together," Nash said, jaw twitching there was a hint of anger in his voice. I decided not to push it since we were serious right now. There was a sudden shift in his mood. I could sense the tension in the air from not only him but the group as well.

Ken began to scout the area. "We need to start making out way to the village, and we also need to take precautions to protect Hanami from them." He lifted his finger to my headband "Take it off."

I shook my head no, "Why do we need to take off our headbands, and why would someone follow us to Suna?"

"The Kazekage should be in Konoha right now, giving them a perfect opportunity to attack when he's not here. You're taking off your headband to disguise ourselves from them we want as little combat as possible." I glanced over to Shusuke, watching him pull out a hoodie from his bookbag.

"Here." he tossed the hoodie over to me "Put this on to cover your hair, they could see you from a mile away." Sure enough, the hoodie covered my hair. I stripped myself from my kunai holder tossing it to Ken sensei. "Are we ready?"

"Hai," I followed behind my teammates, keeping my head low. We were only genin trying to fight S-rank shinobi. Trust me it's not a good feeling to fight them I've got the living daylights beaten out of me by them. Now I can look back and laugh at the old me; I've gotten healthier and stronger.

Wonwoo promised me that he'd take care of them so we would not have to deal with them. Deep down, I was scared if they caught me. I knew they would torture, beat, starved, or maybe even kill me. A cold chill ran down my spine; I started to feel all sick and clammy all over again.

"Sensei, we're surrounded, 15 this time."

"Okay, so this is what we're going to do." We continued to walk towards the border of the sand. Calmly and smoothly, not trying to cause any attention towards us. "Nash, you take Hanami to meet with the Anbu then come back with them. Shusuke, you and I will deal with them until back up comes."

"Yah Sensei, why can't I fight with you, why do I always have to be treated like the weak link all the time!" I clenched my fist, looking up at sensei with my teary eyes. He sighed, rubbing his face with an aggravated tone. "Hanami, as much as I would want you to fight by my side, I can't right now okay, your safety is our number one priority."

"Why!"

He slammed his hand into the tree, causing all of us to jump. His breathing was heavy, and a vein was protruding from the side of his neck. "Hanami, if they get you that not only put your life in danger but the whole damn world."

Shusuke tried to reason with me, "Hanami, just please go to the border." 'That was the first.'

I sighed, shoving my hands into the pockets of the hoodie holding back my tears. "Yah, Nash, come on."

"Hai."

I took a deep breath before Nash, and I took off towards the forest. Nash led the way, moving swiftly through the trees. The air that filled the sky was so thick and dry that it made my mouth dry. It made it ten times harder to breathe now that I think about it. A thick fog came out of nowhere I could barley see Nash in front of me.

"Nash?"

"Hanami, where are you?" I stooped in the middle of the forest, it was an earring silence: no animals and no Nash.

"Yah! Nash where are you?...Nash!" I took off running in the direction I left seen him. I kept tripping over a tree branch…..the same tree branch in the same area….. The only thought I had in my mind was to stick a kunai in a tree. Then I ran again this time I saw the kunai in the tree. "What the hell." I could barely see my hands.

"Hanami." Nash was standing in the distance, looking very disheveled and byakugan activated.

I ran over to him with open arms hugging him quickly. His was heartbeat was skyrocketing. "Calm down, Nash." He released me then walked back towards the direction I found him. "I can't this fog that we're in is filled with chakra, someone is controlling it."

"What do you mean? Someone is about to attack us or something."

"I think so. We need to move, stay behind me."

I stayed close by while we ran farther into the woods. If we didn't stick beside one another or remain close, then we'd most likely die out here. Not to mention that it was cold outside. My mind kept racing back to Ken sensei and Shusuke. Were they okay? Did they make it out alive? So much was going on through my head.

Hi! I bet so many of you are wondering why I have not been uploading on this book. Well, because Fanfiction decided to strike me, which happened once to "The Family I have always wanted." That's why I had to delete and rewrite the whole story. I hope this is not the case, but if so, I have already revised it just in case they remove this story, so FINGERS CROSSED!
