I made another mistake, I thought cannon was one year not two and I just now noticed.

I was awake lying in bed as I wondered what Kind of anniversary Kakashi had, I threw off my blanket and ran across town on this early morning.

I walked into the flower shop as a tired Ino sat at the desk spinning a pencil in her hand before she looked up at me shocked "it is really early to buy a plant"

I laughed "it finally occurred to me I could buy one" I moved over towards the plants and not the flowers as she slowly moved my way "What are you looking for?" I just shrugged.

"Might know when I see it"

"Well these are herbs" I nodded interested, not sure if he wants one of them but I kind of did.

"I need stuff that a Ninja can grow and last between long missions"

She nodded and showed me around.

I was glad to see lavender as I sniffed it "well it is purple like you" I smiled at her love of this color.

"Ya but it is a strong smell for normal noses" she nodded as she moved around to some of the succulents as I peered at them, they were pretty plants when she pulled one up as I stared and it was green and purple making me laugh, "I don't know if I want to get him a purple one, he does not need to be reminded of me"

"Please, he will think of you whenever he looks at it, the color is just nice"

I smiled at her attitude but I feel I need to get him something and this was the best option as I grabbed myself one also and a couple of good pots as she repotted them for me into small stone looking ones.

"So who is the lucky guy?" she looked at me with interest.

"Ah it is not a big thing"

She looked kind of sad "you sure?"

"ya, he did not say but something significant happened and I feel like he needs a present"

"Well" she gave me a look "you are a good friend then" She continued to re pot them slowly "no one buys me flowers just because"

"Well, you own a flower shop, pay attention to the gifts that are not from here" I laughed and she looked at me interested "but I love flowers" I just gave a small smile, I peeked over and pulled out a very pretty flower with no root and stuck it to her "and this one" she nodded.

I moved to gather my plants when I spun back and handed her the flower with a silly smile, she took it from my hand stunned but smiled "just because" I laughed and I left the place.

I moved to his home as I stood on his small front yard of the building and I could see him inside as I watched his chakra, closing my eyes I got his spot, he was in his bed.

I walked over and moved to jumped into his kitchen window as I felt Guy land behind me on the ground.

I smiled as I turned to him.

He smiled kindly at me "What was it?"

"A plant"

he nodded with a small smile, "I should get him something, it is his birthday" he seemed in thought.

I was shocked "really?"

"Ah was that not why you did that?"

"I just knew it was something, we need to do something" We stared at each other in thought, he would not like a party.

"How about a cake and some... misu soup with eggplant" I mumbled and he nodded with a Guy smile.

"let's get it fast and it can join your present" He smiled "he never makes a big deal" I nodded I could see that.

"You get the soup, I will get the cake?" I asked and he nodded.

We split up as I ran with my plant to my favorite cake place and laid down an order of a small chocolate cake with buttercream middles and writing on the top, "HB" it was not the biggest cake but enough for him to eat a couple big slices.

I leaned on the side of the place in wait as I stared at the plant, do I leave a note?

I pulled out some paper and pencil. I sat down and thought about it, but I always sucked with words.

"Hey sexy, here is a gift from Guy and Ava, unsure if you want anyone to say it but Happy birthday"

It took some time as Guy found me with a few closed in containers in a small bag as he sat and waited with me and I handed him the note. He stared before he just wrote his name at the bottom after a small glance my way.

We moved back to his place and I made sure he was still in bed as I nodded and we jumped into his kitchen window silently.

We carefully placed them down when I felt his chakra stir making me shove Guy towards the window and we left, moving a few roofs away he seemed to not get out of his bed, I smiled at him as he asked if I wanted to train this morning with him and nodded.

I ran off doing some math, mine maybe within the next month or so.

There months and days are not the same as mine and yet the same, we just don't line up completely.

We moved as we ran quickly as I tried to stay on his feet "I need to really sit down and try and find my birth date" I mumbled making him smile at me "I think it is also soonish"

He looked in thought "if you can't figure it out maybe you will need to just pick one" I think it is around September maybe, mine was in October. "Man I have been here a while" He nodded as he seemed in thought making me smile "Somewhere around a year and half"

I was following Kuro through the thickest area, the giant trees growing between each other with such closeness it made me wonder if it was all just one big one. Pushing branches and bushes out of our way as we tried to find what we came here for.

A lost area, This old ass man who smelled of pipe smoke, mothballs and alcohol has been searching his whole life from some place that everyone says does not exist, lost in the Land of fire.

He finally was so sure what area it would be pinpointed in and the terrain was to harsh for him, the thickest woods, the tallest mountains and the biggest animals. He came to the leaf village to hire someone that could check it out, he paid enough for it to be classified as an A rank but the only things we would probably fight were giant animals and big ass bugs.

We looked out for anything that screamed people were once here.

I was alone when I thought this mission was interesting, as Kuro was around and so was Lee and Kakashi they came with me, I was unsure if they looked at this mission annoying or interesting as the only one I could read when we were assigned was Lee who was so sure he could find it.

It was like a treasure hunt and that made me so excited.

Lee and Kakashi are checking out the other side of the small mountain, I say small as compared to others but big enough that we are on our own.

I Think Tsunade is just now attaching me and Kakashi together so much anymore as we have done to many missions together, it was mostly things to do with aliens but now he is even with me on this, I wonder if he gets bored, then again he had his own set of genin before.

Scanning the back of Kuro, I know he does not want to be here.

I felt the ground got harder, I bent over in the small space and dug into the dirt but it was just a big rock when I heard a noise, I stood up fast and my eyes quickly scanned when there was a centipede bigger then us coming at us, I quickly tossed a few kunai at it and got it stuck to the tree but did not kill it making Kuro notice.

He seemed to get so angry as he pulled out his swords and made sure it was done, he shivered making me chuckle, so glad he is with me as this is to enjoyable.

We came to a very steep hillside still covered in big trees as we moved up and around, Kuro was very lazily looking for nothing but I was serious as I checked out everything that looked slightly different with joy.

I ran passed him at a strange shaped rock, I touched it carefully as it was almost like a circle in the cliff side before boosting my hearing and I knocked on it "It is just a rock" Kuro spoke slightly aggravated.

I smiled with a nod as I could not find a way to open it like a door "Ya, I think your right"

"You wont find anything here, it is a pipe dream of an old man"

I nodded, I am sure he is right but I choose to believe in ancient shit, there was so many in my world why not here.

Coming across a nature made path up this mountain side made me smile, no more moving bushes out of the way my bare parts on my legs were all scratched up. I could hear Lee's loud voice booming through the air before I was even close to see there chakra "He is so much like Guy" I spoke up making Kuro nod.

"I wonder how Kakashi is taking that"

I laughed "ah I think he is his best friend"

He just made a noise as we started to move towards each other coming to the far side of the mountain.

"Oh, it is you guys" Lee yelled when we landed beside them "We have not found anything" he sounded so sad as the other two men just looked around calmly.

Kakashi was staring at the sky that we could slightly see through to the tops of the trees "It is going to rain" he spoke up "We should find shelter"

"I have not seen one" Kuro spoke up as he looked towards the tip of the mountain we stood on.

The two of them just vanished as I felt there chakra's move fast around the immediate area heading towards the top, I just sighed and moved to follow Lee beside me, when I could feel the change in air, the cold hit quickly as drops of rain started to land on my skin when we heard Kuro.

Moving into the decent sized cave was nice, sadly we are towards the wind and the now poring rain moved farther inside then we hoped, with no dry logs we could not start a fire.

I loved rain and I don't mind being wet.

The gray clouds moving in and I jumped from the cave and down into the trees below before the wood on the ground would be to wet to use, I saw Lee look down at where I dropped but I spun on a branch and landed on the ground.

I grabbed what I could, the ground slightly wet as the tall branches blocked it at the moment and moved back up the mountain quickly before landing in the cave, it was a heavy rain so I was soaked from a few minutes before I dropped the semi wet logs on the ground, Kuro moved them around and made a noise at the wet mold on one.

"I went fast, sorry" as I took off my cardigan and laid it out, the rest of my clothes were thin and could dry while I wore them.

He slowly did some some small fire balls to try and dry it out before lighting the fire.

They sat around the fire as Kuro cooked as I leaned on the cave wall, I could feel a little splash back and mist as I stared into the dark storm just in love. Thunder crashed and I smiled before some lighting hit "three seconds" something I did in my world when they were close together, been doing it since I was a child.

"Counting the closeness of the storm?" Kakashi asked as he moved next to me in a calm and relaxed state, I nodded.

"I guess you do the same thing here?" He nodded as he watched the storm with me.

"Somethings are so alike"

I smirked "but your biteable ass is in this world" I spoke in English, Kakashi look at me blankly.

"Geez Ava" Kuro chuckled from behind, in their language.

"Your's is just as fine" I spoke in English back to him, making him smirk.

That made Kakashi look slightly interested as he looked between Kuro and I "You know what she said?" Kuro just nodded as Lee looked between us three confused.

He turned more towards him but his main body still faced me "What did she say?"

Kuro shook his head "I can't say that"

I just started to chuckle, ya I doubt it is something most men don't say to each other in this world, I just smirked at kakashi and moved to sit next to Lee as the food was almost done. We ate silently as I saw Kakashi give Kuro a few side glances before he would look at me making me smile inwardly. Unsure of the time because of the storm I just lied my bag down and Lied on my back, turning and watching the rain as I fell asleep.

I heard a small strange noise making me sit up fast alert and ready to fight, there was Lee doing some crunches near the cave entrance, the small drizzle still falling from the sky.

"Sorry did I wake you?" he asked quietly.

"No I was just painting bowls" I said back.

"In the dark?" he looked at me serious, I just stared at him strangely.

"yes" I fully sat up and rubbed my face, but I heard a small noise from Kakashi as Lee got back at it.

I just leaned on the side of the cave, Lee near my feet, the fire was down and out so there wont be coffee this morning as I could see the small sunrise through the thin gray clouds. I was excited for this mission but now as I look out I feel like it will be a waste of time and I feel sorry for dragging them with me, where do we even look, I looked the the top of the trees that waved through the rolling mountains as a big one loomed in the distance.

"With hill's like this I bet it is built within the mountains and not in the trees or underground" Lee spoke standing up and I looked at him a smile.

"You are probably right" it is nice to have one person who believes it is real here.

He started to do some pushups, I have no coffee and I was sluggish or I would have joined him.

"Where do you think we should look?" I asked peering down at him, he stood up and looked with me, he ended up pointing to this section of trees far away to the west where I had yet to stare at, they were a slightly different color as they grew from the high cliffs.

"Hmm" I stared "good idea" He gave me the Guy's patent thumbs and smile before he got back to push ups.

We headed there after everyone was ready as we split alone but in also slightly in range and just looked around, when I felt a strange feeling, I just pretended like I saw nothing as I watched for chakra.

Two people paused on a high branch a bit behind me, I got ready for an attack as kicked around branches.

Getting my chakra ready for a quick maneuver but they just jumped down behind me in a friendly manor as I turned to look at them.

One girl and one guy, looking like twins, both with sandy brown hair, the guy's was short while the girls was long, they almost wore matching outfit's also, he wore a dark blue robe as she wore a short dark blue dress with wrapping around her waist.

My eyes looked into there yellow eyes with a friendly smile, he smiled back as she looked slightly annoyed at me for no reason.

"What are you doing in out hunting grounds" She spit out.

"Someone lives around here?" I asked "I did not know" changing his question with my own "Where is your place?" I looked around the forest around me.

Kuro and Lee were still moving just at the edge of my sense in two different places but Kakashi was gone.

"Our family's home is.."

"Shush, she may be dangerous" she smacked him in his head making him look at her with puppy dog eyes.

I just gave a friendly smile, not saying a word.

"Why were you kicking around dirt?" she asked me seriously.

"Oh, I was just looking for my lost.. blanket?"

He nodded seemingly believing me as she glared, "I am sure it is not under branches"

"It is a very small blanket" he still was trusting me as she glared "I only use it on my toes" I stuck my foot out "they get cold"

She seemed to now believe me slightly "you are strange, like an alien"

I just smiled and almost laughed when there was a small chuckle behind us making them get scared and alert as kakashi landed beside me.

He walked up friendly as they stared slightly nervous "We are actually hired to find some kind of ancient city around these parts" he spoke honestly, I never know when that is okay "Do you know what we are looking for?"

He nodded and she just sighed at her brother.

I was shocked "really? It is real?"

"How many of you are there?"

"Four"

"What do you want with it?"

"Nothing, just to find it" Kakashi spoke but the girl was skeptical "We were hired to find it for a man that has been looking for years, what he wants I don't know"

She nodded worried, Kakashi then made a really loud whistle, piercing our ears and a second later the other two headed our way.

We let us follow her through the thick brush and we made our way to small town, there was about four elderly sitting on chairs on the side of a small road, Two old men smoking and cooking, a few middle aged women were washing clothes in a small well.

And three small kids running around but they all paused when they saw us and stood up scared.

An old lady went and rung a bell as one of the men ran to the teenage twins and yelled at them while shoving them behind him at the same time and a few more middle aged people came out of small homes.

We all paused and tried to look friendly, except Kuro that could never really do that.

He pulled out a small dagger ready to protect them all from us so Kakashi gave a wave "yo" and a fake smile "We are only searching for an old city, we don't want to hurt anyone" making them man stand up straighter.

"No one goes there" he said loudly before glaring at the teens "No one" they nodded "It is filled with deadly bugs" Kuro looked startled before he turned and started to walk away.

"Nope" He back waved and just walked off as all of us just stared, I laughed and went to grab him "Don't worry Ill save you" I smirked and pulled him reluctantly back.

He sent on us the way with anger, I could tell he just wanted us gone. It was a bit of a run and his directions sucked but we came to an open area around like an entrance to a cave with a broken down rock door, the other side in rubble. Kuro made a noise as we watched this huge ass spider moved down the cliff side and snatched a centipede and wrapped it up as it took it away making me grab onto Kuro's chest so he wont run off.

"Well we found it, we can go now" He said making Lee agree as I looked at him, I guess the big bug's freak him out to, how am I so weirdly calm about all this, I just want to protect Kuro.

"I think we should look inside" Kakashi spoke up "Might be something worth while inside"

That I did not like as we all stared at him blankly.

"Go ahead" Kuro smirked and waved him on "we will wait here" me and Lee nodded.

Kakashi gave a fake smile towards us but you could the intimidation behind it, making me sigh and Kuro glare and Lee just shook his head no before Kakashi headed for the cave and we followed.

Kakashi shot a fireball at the bugs surrounding the entrance making them skitter away as we slowly moved inside into the pitch black cave.

Not wanting to touch the dark walls I kept my hands in my pocket as we all tried to walk in the middle behind Kakashi slightly bumping into each other, a few creepy noises were heard and I think we are surrounded by bugs.

Kakashi found a torch and lit it, the light came on and the strangest looking bugs with many legs scurried from the light making all three of us shiver this time.

The wall were like a gray granite and definitely man made as we looked at them in wonder, the ceiling was much higher then the cave part and we could see a never ending hallway into the dark.

We just walked as the light seemed to push away the bugs when we came to a big open area, the torch light reflecting on the pillars making the big room illuminate and we could see the whole thing, there was five paths from here, two on each side and one directly in front, it looked like there may have been rock tables in this part as they were fallen into a piles of stone.

"Wow" Lee spoke up for the first time, his voice so loud in here "It is beautiful" I just nodded, when we heard a notice making us all take a step back in worry as the noise came at us quickly and loudly, down one of the left paths came a second and bigger spider making me grab onto a ready to flee Kuro, he is always so brave and wants to fight, this time I did not laugh.

Now that I could see, there was a few webs coming out of that tunnel.

Its many eyes stared at us as its fangs pinched and it moved towards us quickly, we were around the size of it's legs, Kakashi moved in fast and Lee yelled a war cry. I grabbed Kuro's hand and pulled him with me as I ran in close.

Letting him go I pulled out my whip and wrapped it around its fangs, tightening and pulling as closed as I can as Lee went to kick out its feet, Kakashi jumped to its eyes and suddenly Chidori was on his hand, the sound filled the cave even more as he shoved it into its head, making the spider go limp.

The sound from Kakashi made a few more noises awake in the tunnels making Kuro glare at him.

"Think it is worth it now" I yelled as the noise got louder.

Kakashi gave a wave as he ran to the middle path away from the coming spiders, we followed him into the path as he lit the way with the torch, the walls not covered in spider webs as we moved making me feel better about this route.

We moved to a curving hallway before we came to an area where there was more tunnels branching off to other directions, the sound of them chasing us was gone.

"Please don't ask us to split" I whispered silently, Lee shook his head in agreement, I watched as he sniffed the air making me curious so I did it also.

The smells was strange, down one tunnel was the smell of water, another a smell so gross making me look at him as we agreed, no.

And then a smell of paper, we decided to take that one.

We moved swiftly and carefully, glad to see there seems to be no traps. We came to a big room, looking around it may have been similar to a library, stone built shelves and tables, the light from the torch filling this room as well as now I could see lines of light reflecting it.

"I have a question" Kuro spoke "What happened here, and if they did not leave and also why did they leave, where are the body's" that made us look around worried.

I moved into the room lightly and my toe hit a squished scroll that sat covered in dust it blended into the ground, picking it up and holding back a sneeze I dusted it away, they watched as I opened it.

Reading a few lines "It's a story about a boy"

"Real?" Lee asked.

"I don't know"

After that they split off and moved around finding scrolls. In this world information is gold, so maybe this is better then finding a room filled of fancy objects like I expected but I was slightly sad about that also.

"What?" I looked up at Kuro who was staring at me.

I gave an awkward smile "It is not like a big pile of jewels and gold" he smirked before looking up "ya, that would have been nice" before he tried not to sneeze, don't want to remind the spiders we are around.

I moved around kicking up dust when my right foot slightly sunk into the ground with a 'ping' and I stared at them worried "A trap" I whispered.

Kakashi moved next to me and got in close, "I have never seen this, don't move"

"It is the kind that will open a door, a bunch of spikes or a big ass boulder, maybe a trap door in the ground" I looked around for something to tell me what it will do without moving.

"Your rambling" Kuro spoke ready for what will happen, I just shook my head when I saw it.

I pointed to the strange arch on the walls, there was a few around all the area and they looked different "it might do something with them"

"Get ready for something" they nodded as I lifted my foot slowly.

I was right at the arch's in the walls started to lower into the ground, kicking the dust up and making a loud noise as Kuro looked back at the doorway in case.

I watched as behind them was some stone humanoid objects, more on the square side as they started to crack and move, looking like they have not in way to long and we got ready to fight.

They paused for a second before they came out of there caves and at us, they were slow compared to us but pretty quick and we moved to fight the ten of them.

I ran at one my water cutting into the rock slightly but pain does not hurt them as it came to hit me making me move around worried, Lee was having the same issue as I did but Kuro was cutting them up with his swords easy and Kakashi was getting them pulled apart.

I grabbed my whip and wrapped it around a joint between it's arms and then turned it hard and tried to break it, it worked and it's arm fell to the ground, then I just aimed for joints. We were getting through them when the noise attracted something else we could here it coming.

I ran to the doorway and Lied down a paralysis seal as I let the others deal with the rocks, I peered into the darkness as it came at me.

A shot of web came from the darkness as I rolled out of the way I made some clones to keep him distracted before I did some hand signs and gave a small wave of water down the hallways, I heard it make a noise as it washed away, down the hallway as I waited and it came at me again.

I did it a second time as it floated away in water.

I had to do it third time but this time it ran off, looking back they were taking out the last one.

It was over but we looked around some more looking for a clue on this place or anything worth while. Kakashi handed Kuro and I some things as we put them in our scrolls before we left the area and moved down the hallway that smelled like water.

We came to a room with a small pond in the middle, the water cooler then a hot spring but warmer then a pond, it was a beautiful place when we all noticed something swimming in it, slowly headed towards us. I peered at it and I think It was a giant alligator.

Kakashi did some hand signs and he planted his hand on the water as a bolt of lightning came out stunning the alligator and it floated to the top, there was nothing else here so we turned and left.

The only last hallway was the one that smelled really bad and the ones the spiders have taken over.

Kakashi turned down it, the other two followed but I paused and watched them, I don't want to go there. They started to get a bit a head making me sigh as I caught up.

We peered around a corner where there was a ton of bugs, all I could see was legs on legs of centipedes circling and moving in a pile, Kuro just walked away as i peered at them when I noticed it was not a pile but a small statue underneath as they moved on top of it "there is something here" Lee backed up worried.

I made a clone, it ran in throwing Kunai at this big ass bugs watching as they started to move towards it and Kakashi shot a few fire balls at them as we took them all out from the sidelines, Kuro did not get far as he stood way back and stared at us before we moved in, I kicked them out of the way as I uncovered the statue.

I think it was a man and a dog as I swiped away the dust over the words but it was really faded and hard to read, I think all I can read is founder, Kuro and Lee stayed back and watched us, I looked up and noticed a stone.

Moving over I started to push on it, it slowly started to roll away when Kakashi helped me and we uncovered a small room, Kakashi took the lead with his torch and we moved inside, Lee catching up as Kuro made a noise before following.

We ran across no bugs in here making all of breath easier when we came to another big room "Well, you got your wish" Kuro spoke up as we looked around as gold and silver objects sat on stone shelves, this place almost untouched, sadly there was four bones lying around, looking like they covered themselves in jewels and rings as it hung around them.

"You too" I mumbled "we found bodies"

We just walked in slowly making sure we wont step on another trap.

"Do we take something?" I asked, no one answered I guess wondering themselves, Kuro moved to this really old map sitting carefully on a table as he carefully dusted it off and I peeked over his shoulder. There was a map for the land of fire but the borders were smaller and the areas were marked off.

"It is so old, might be something someone wants to know" he spoke quietly.

I think we were all wondering what happened here so many years ago, and who these people were but we decided to take a few things that looked important and filled with history, and if it is something tsuande can sell easy, money for the village before we decided to leave, we will tell her what we found and see what she wants to do before she tells the man we found the place.

We moved fast and silent out only needing to take down a couple bugs and headed home, I think we were all in a better mood when the trees opened up to normal and the giant bugs were no longer around, the storm clouds still in the sky as we started to look for a place for the night.

Kakashi and I walked through the open area looking for wood when a version of me popped up in front of us, her hair cut very short, she may have been older then me and wore clothes looking like from my world, A small olive green dress and very cute green and brown sandals, no weapons pouch or hitai ate, nothing from this world on her at all.

We all just stared at each other as she looked around, she smiled at the two of us, her eyes going between us as it changed into a smirk "ah, don't" before she shimmered away.

We stood there not moving "Did you see that?" I whispered.

He nodded "Don't what?" he asked.

"Time travel?" I got worried "was that time travel?"

"She was not around for long" he said softly.

I thought about why it would be so short as we paused in silence "Maybe she warned us and her timeline was erased"

He stared at me "that sound's, I know nothing of time travel" he looked back at where she once stood "I think I understand what you just said but it is, strange"

I nodded "ya it is, what just happened" I looked around the area "and do you know what the don't was for?" I asked as we just looked at the spot she once stood, I was spinning in worry.

"Perhaps she did not want you to cut your hair" he joked but it made me laugh making me feel better.

"Ya that looked bad, stop me from doing that" I joked awkwardly he gave a noise.

"Hmm" he stared at me as he mumbled quietly "I don't think that was the first time" making me stare at him in confusion before he turned and walked away, I followed him in wait for him to finish that sentence but he wouldn't.

I paused and glanced back once more before I continued to move, my mind running wild.

I fell into the orange ground again as I sat up in fear and sweat, the dream again.

Kicking my legs over the bed I rubbed my head, there is more to this I know, why does my mind constantly remind me of this moment, I peered out the open balcony door as the wind blew around my black small and thin curtains before I stood up and just walked into it, sitting on my new chair I just watched the quiet town.

I felt off as I tried to breath, the orange ground with the black hole always bugs me.

I have been so confused lately, I used to just let things go I can't explain but now my mind is filled with questions.

I am lost on it all and I need some answers.
