Note: I would like to thank those who have been following, favoring, reviewing and sending over ideas for this Fanfiction. As always, I am trying to get new ideas for my other fanfictions so if you have any ideas to get everything back send them over.

Leaf Village

Third POV

The Hokage was preparing to travel to the Mountain Village now that there was confirmation of Ran being found alive, however the Hokage had to respect the decree of not being allowed near the girl. Iruka took it hard because he wanted to talk to her and he kept thinking she might have had some say in this because she might be upset about how the entire village treated her.

Once the group set up Iruka thought 'I hope I can at least see her' he thought as he and the others in the Hokage's company made a three-week journey to the Land of Mountains. 'Ran I understand you may not find it in your heart to forgive me and the village for all the pain, isolation, fear and sadness you suffered from' Lord Hokage thought. 'I failed you and I understand why you wanted to stay in the Mountain Village'. Iruka thought knowing Ran may not want to have anything to do with him and the rest of the Land of Fire.

Three Weeks Later

Ran's POV

"Why are they coming" I asked in shock and anger over the fact their ninja allowed me to be harmed and treated me like I was some kind of monster just because of the Fox were here. "Ran please calm down" aunt Akane warned. "I WILL NOT CALM DOWN I TOLD YOU AND GRANDPA I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEIR UGLY FACES AGAIN" I screamed. This caused some objects to fly around the room. I felt large arms around me "Ran hush little one your grandfather, Yamanokage ordered them to stay away from you" he said. I still didn't feel better.

"Ran you need to return to your room; we know what type of pain they caused you and while have a right to be upset" he added sternly while carrying me to my room. "I don't want them here dad" I said in tears knowing the Leaf was coming. Of course, I told my mom and dad I blame the Fourth Hokage for making me the jailer of the Fox, Kurama. 'You don't want to see them do you' he asked me. 'No, I hate them and the Fourth Hokage for what he did to me' I replied to him as my new dad put the covers over me.

Haruo's POV

I could not blame my little one for being upset about the Leaf coming here after all they committed harm to her. "Please get some rest youngling" I said to her hoping to calm her down. "Ran please listen you have a new family now and a new life now. Your grandfather assured me the Leaf ninja are not to go within fifteen feet of you and your uncle Kenpachiro is notorious for being guarding those he's assigned to defend" I added to her.

I knew I had to calm her down and reassure her she was safe and has a true family.

Third POV

As soon as the Leaf entourage arrived, they were escorted to where they would be staying Kenpachiro Fuyu glared at them the whole time, Iruka noticed this and did not want to anger the large man. Not everyone was happy to see the Leaf group knowing Ran's history. That look in Kenpachiro's eyes said 'if you so much as go near let alone tough her I will kill you'.

Iruka's POV

'I wonder where Ran is and who adopted her' I thought. Then I heard "so Kenpachiro not happy to see them" another mountain ninja asked him. "Of course, not little Ran was very, very upset about this I thought Miki had to mentally restrain her. I hope this incident does not prolong her release from the medical center" he replied. When I heard this, it told me her condition was much worse than thought and now because of her abuse she might have to stay there longer. I hope our visit did not add stress to her.

I looked out of my room to see the red-haired girl again, she was with a tall woman "mom did uncle Kenpachiro beat them up like he said he would" she asked. "Ran sweetheart he did not he said he would do that if they went near you" she reassured me. I had to get out there and as soon as I approached her "get away from me" she hissed at me. "Ran…" before I can finish "you stay away from my niece, didn't you hear the order from the Yamanokage or are too deaf to understand" a voice growled, I turned to face the voice. He was huge, muscular and the look in his eyes said 'if you don't get away, I will kill you'.

I was too frightened to move "did you not hear me" he growled again. "Please I have no intention of hurting her I want to talk to her" I said. "Uncle Kenpachiro" she cried out hugging his leg. "Take this Leaf back to his quarters and report this to Yamanokage" he ordered as I was taken back. The large man picked her up "your father has been notified little one, it's ok they won't go near you again" he said taking Ran into his arms. I could see Ran was happy to be in the huge man's arms but I could see a larger man coming "Papa" she cried out "it's ok Little Orchid" he said. "We better get you back, I think you have had enough excitement for one day" the man, who I could presume is her adopted father.
