Shizune burst into Tsuande's office to rely the urgent message to the Hokage."Lady Tsunade!" Waving the paper in the air alarmingly, slamming it down upon her desk."My Lady it's urgent!" The second she does, like a pressing a detonator. An explosion went off in Kusagakure, just as Temari and the group leave the Inn and all around the Ninja World.
Fukasuka and Shima look on at you and Naruto sitting by one of the rivers quietly."...He didn't have the heart to tell her completely, did he?"Shima asks her husband, talking about the Great Toad Sage.
Fukasuka closes his eyes calmly."That is not it, he told her everything."
Shima looks to her husband, he returns her look."But not the other part."
"She is a joyous young girl isn't she..."Fukasuka changes the direction of the talk back to you. Shima looks at you."Her nature is a gift and a curse, especially in this world. Some one born in such way she was...it amazes me."
"Still..."Shima looks at him worried.
Naruto sat next to you looking at you, unsure whether he should or not say anything. After everything that was just said and finding out your history, well from what he gathered from it. There was much you elaborated upon, so the questions whirled in his mind. He wanted to ask them so badly, but at the sametime he wasn't sure they would offend you.
This wasn't easy, it seem your past bothered you deeply even with your smile upon your face he watched you pick one of the flowers staring at in awe."Naruto..."you call to him made the boy jump. Fully aware of how awkward he felt right now even if he was doing his best to hide it., Twirling the flower around in your fingers laughing lightly."If you have questions, I do not mind you asking them."
Feeling the door open now with this, Naruto still was sure which one he should asks or how he should asks it. This was starting to trouble him, not mention how he was going to word it. He opens his mouth only to close it again, he does it a couple of times unable to form a single word out. He scratches the back of his head nervously.
Inhaling hard and exhaling slowly...mustering up the words that fell into place in his mind. Opening his mouth for the hundredth time..."So...umm...uh..."
You knowing his question answer it for him. Sitting your legs to the side, turning your full attention towards him."It is true I am not fully human."you smile from your answer."To be more precise, I am known as a Technorganic..."
Naruto brows twist in confusion from what you said."Ah...Techno..."he tries to pronounce the world, his attempt made you softly titter."Sorry."he apologizes.
Still fiddling with the flower in-between your fingers."It is alright."
"So, what is that anyway?"
Sighing solemnly, your lips and eyes tighten together like you wanted to produce tears. Regretting open the can worms now, seeing how this was bothering you. Naruto made up his mind to just stop you from telling him anything. How stupid could he be, bringing up something personal he should know better. Opening his mouth to stop you.
Your words come out before his. Shifting your eyes down to the flower focusing on something that brought you joy."It is what I am, I am organic like tissue, bones, blood, and flesh. Like a humans, like you."you quickly look at him then return back to your flower."But...I am also not. My mechanism..."you stare at your hand."Is also that of machine..."
Naruto swallows not wanting to say anything but he does so."L-like a computer..."he saw your eyelids lower from what he said. The pain in your eyes, pained him as well.
You kept talking after your short break."Yes."answering his question like statement. Sensing he was still puzzled by this, you further explain to him. Fukasaku and Shima listen along with the other toads who where nearby. Slowly you caress the petals of the flower."I was not made like humans...I not of natural birth...what I am most consider an abomination...a taboo...unholy. Have you ever heard of Frankenstein?"Naruto shakes his head no."It is a story, of a being made together piece by piece of many parts. Fused together and given life to live. That is of my story, I was made such a way given both biologic and machine. As well, alien spliced in me. After being connected together, life just like Frankenstein was inserted into me, thus I am made. During my construction most of it was spent in a incubation tube, and the rest strapped to a operating table. Unable to move...I laid there. Motionless, even though I was alive...not even my eyes where open, everything was dark...so very dark...that is all I knew in the beginning of my life."
Though you kept talking and telling him of your life, all the ninja could do was playback all you said on who and what you are. Never in his life had he heard something like that be said, the words echoed in his mind and soul. He could feel the pain and cold from them, while you spoke softly your gentle voice didn't hide the true nature of words themselves. His heart felt like froze in his chest and started to ache from the pressure the words laid upon it. He felt tears well up in the corner of his eyes, compelled to cry, stopping when he noticed you had not even bother to shed one single tear during this whole time when he recalled something that you said.
How certain things you could not do, and that was produce any sort of liquid from your eyes. No matter how much you wanted too. Remembering that a single tear began to roll down his eye. Followed shortly by another one, and few more they just seem to keep coming stopping when he felt a soft hand upon the side of his face and a soft thumb swipe gentle swipe under his eye stopping the tears.
Slowly you come into his vision, his eyes slowly expand shockingly at what he saw before him it wasn't what he was expecting. It made Shima and her husband smile along with the others around.
You smiling. Just smiling this radiant smile, there was no sense of hurt or pain nor any anguish in it. It was a pure simple pleasant smile."Do, not cry Naruto. Everything is alright."your words pushed away the feeling he felt from the other ones. Returning back his soul, he felt a warm hand pressing on his soul it was like a phantom of some sort that touched him and everything felt warm once again. He looks at you, was this your doing? He wasn't sure, both your hands on either side of his face wiping away his tears."There, much better."Seeing his tears had stopped, you take your hands back but not first without putting a flower in his forehead protector. Adjusting it slightly.
There now it was perfectly in place."This place is very lovely."you look away from him all around the Mountain."I wonder, what more is there to see. I can feel so much here."your toes wiggle in the grass beneath you, slowly you slide your feet into the river dipping them in gently slowly. Just for a few seconds, merrily humming to yourself.
After one last splash you take them letting the air dry the, you then slowly start to float up to land up right on your feet. Shaking a bit more water off your feet that was still left.
"Quite, remarkable."Shima looks at you."Isn't she?"
Her husband nods his head agreeing."That she is..."he turns his focus upon Naruto who was still distraught upon learning your history.
His face still weighed heavily from those words, his mind doing its best to process everything that was said his eyes look over to you. Just as joyous looking as before not even faded by what you just reviled to him. How managed to remain unaffected by this, puzzled him. While you kept talking about other things on the good times back home, in New York about your family. A sister and father, the man whom you received human DNA from while your powers came from April, your sister. Telling him how you had an exact copy of her mind energy that was siphon into you, it was that brought you online fully. Even so your eyes still remained closed, not to open till you heard a very faint voice that drew you to the light. It was a soft concerning voice that manifested itself into a hand grabbing hold of you and pulling you out.
You stopped at that part, switching to talking about the joys you experienced once alive. Everything was new to you and still was, your mind was so perplexed everything around you. Many things that others considered simple and of the norm puzzled and delighted you, to you everything and everyday was wondrous no matter what, even when you came here. It was strange to adjust but you manged to make the best of it, finding delight in his world and all that it offered. You couldn't wait to explore more.
Coming to an end with your talking. Having said all you needed to, you turn around to Naruto. Changing topics now about something random."Still...talking to-"
Unable to finish, Naruto leap up almost knocking you down pulling you into a tight hug. His arms wrapped around you tightly, being the height you where, he slightly towered over you. His hug was strong and sturdy."May..."he says your name, pulling you in deeper that he lifted you up off the grass just a bit, your toes brushing against the tip of the grass.
This sudden hug came out of nowhere, it surprised you greatly. With your arms pinned down your side, you couldn't really do much but let him hug you, when you notice he was trembling.
Confused now."Naruto, are you alright your whole body is shaking...what is wrong? Are nervous not functioning properly?"
Your simple answer made Fukasuka and Shima lightly chuckle, you hear them looking at them then to Naruto. Who shakes his head no, laughing slightly."No, my nerves are just fine."Slowly his hold on you looseness, your feet touch the firmly to the ground and out of Naruto's hold on you. Looking up at him concerned now.
"Naruto. What is wrong?"
He shakes his head smiling at you, still confusing you more which added more to your concern. Seeing this, he reaches for your hands and takes hold of them. Bringing them up infront of both you, he spreads his fingers out with yours till both palms where touching. His hands of course bringer than your smaller one. He kept them pressed together firmly. This gesture still confused you, while he smiled your face remained perplexed. But it slowly started to thaw into a smile, not sure why but you smiled anyway.
Followed by a laughter starting from Naruto which trickled to you, the two of you began to laugh together that carried in the winds of the mountains throughout the whole place. It rang through reaching the Great Sage Toad, he smiles more upon hearing it.
