Chapter Two: Family Roots
GG: Yay! The second chappie! Neways, I'm too lazy to add a character so you have muah to do the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything here besides the story, Rose, and Rei! If I did, Sakura and Rock Lee would end up together.
GG: Enjoy!
"Kakashi-sensei, you know these people?" Sasuke asked, not taking his eyes off. Kamui simply glared back at Sasuke.
"Kamui…" Rei warned. He narrowed his eyes one last time before turning his gaze to Kakashi.
"So that's your name... Kamui... Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Hatake Kakashi. The blonde over there is Uzumaki Naruto, the girl is Haruno Sakura, and the other boy is Uchiha Sasuke. I'm a ninja teacher and these are my students," Kakashi said.
"I'm Rei Shiro. This boy beside me is Kamui Shiro, the other boy is Rath Illuser, and the other girl is, Rose Illuser. By the way, are you gonna answer my question yet?" said Rei.
"So you're their kids huh? No wonder, you look like spitting images of them. I know your parents because they used to live in my village. My question is why are you here," Kakashi wondered.
"We have no idea why we're here. We don't even know how we got these strange clothes," Rose stated.
"If you knew our parents do you know how they died?" Rath inquired. Kakashi nodded. "Can you tell us what really happened? We don't believe they died in a car crash," pleaded Rei.
"Well… They died saving our village," Kakashi sighed.
Before the conversation could deepen, "How old are you?" Naruto suddenly asked.
Rose blinked and answered, "Never ask a lady how old she is."
"We're two sets of twins born on the same day so, we're all 15," smiled Rath.
"Cool! You're just as old as us! (Just pretend.)" Sakura smiled back.
"I should take you to the Hokage. Come on, guys," Kakashi said, motioning for them to follow. Sakura soon got into a conversation with Naruto about the strangers and so did Rei and Rose.
"I kinda think that Sasuke boy is cute," Rei blushed. Rose shook her head.
"He's so mean! I don't like 'im at all. You know me, I don't trust people who don't laugh, smile, or act like they have their hand glued to their face. And neither will Kamui when he finds out."
"You better not tell!" Rose smiled and skipped off to talk to Kakashi.
"Rose!" Rei gritted angrily.
"Why are people staring at us?" growled Rose. They had entered the village where people where giving them disbelieving stares.
Rose had her arm around Rath's shoulder and Rath had his arm around his waist. Rei, once again, was clutching Kamui's arm, who was glaring at everyone around them.
"Rose…don't say anything," Rath warned. Just by looking at her he could tell that she wanted to say something along the lines, "WTF are you looking at!"
They came up to a large building that was where the Hokage was. (Is that right? I dunno.) When we went into it, there was an old man sitting at a desk.
"Who's this Kakashi? Are you trying to play a trick on me?" he asked.
"These are their children, Hokage. Rose and Rath Illuser and Kamui and Rei Shiro," Kakashi informed him.
"Umm…h-hello, s-sir," Rei greeted. Rose seemed to be too intimidated by the other ninjas in the room to speak, so she just bowed. Rath and Kamui did the same.
"You four look just like them. Your parents spoke a lot about you. We always wondered about where you live, but it's just like them to hide you in a different world," the Hokage said thoughtfully.
"Huh? What do you mean?" a confused Kamui asked. The Hokage chuckled lightly.
"You see, your parents were very strong ninjas. They went to all the ninja lands just to learn everything they could, hence the hitai-ates on you scarf, belt and sash. One of your parents, I believe it was Rose's and Rath's father, left his hitai-ates here as a promise," Hokage explained.
He walked behind his desk and drew out a black scabbard that had the metal pieces sown onto it.
"So, that one's mine, right?" Rath stepped forward. "Yes. This one is yours."
"So, I still don't understand."
"You haven't let me finish yet."
"Oh." Rath stepped back, staring at it.
"As I was saying, Ryu left it here as a promise. What the promise was, nobody really knows but, I think, you coming to their birthplace has halfway fulfilled the promise We don't know how to send you back, but you're welcome to stay here until we figure out how."
"Ok, but what are we supposed to do while we wait? All four of us get bored easily."
"You can attend our ninja school. It doesn't hurt to learn new things. You'll get to know how kids your age live around here," Kakashi offered.
"Sure. Whatever," Rose shrugged.
"So we're settled. You can follow Kakashi to the academy. When you get there ask to be tested. You already have all our hitai-ate, but I want to see where your skills are," the Hokage decided.
"Thanks, old man!" Kamui said as they left the building.
"They really are just like their parents."
GG: Sorry if this one's a bit sappy. There's a lot of talking too. R&R!
