Chapter 5
My Old Home
Kotoko walked out of the Hokage's office and leaned on the wall of the building.
"It's next week, be prepared," said the Hokage as he dismissed her.
"I wonder where Takuto is?" she said as she ran into someone. "Oh, I'm so sorry-" Kotoko paused when she noticed it was Hazuki. "Oh, it's you Ami,' said Hazuki as she brushed herself. Kotoko looked down in resentment then put on a fake smile. "Hi, do you know where Takuto is?" asked Kotoko. "Oh, he should be at the house," said Hazuki. Kotoko flinched. "You guys live together?" said Kotoko as her heart ached. "Yeah, turn left over there," she said as she pointed to a corner and waved goodbye. Kotoko sniffed then turned to go to her house. "Forget it. I don't have enough courage," she said as she spotted the abandoned dojo. "I wonder what it looks like inside," she thought as she slid the door open slowly.

"T-this could be the key!" she said as she sat on the bed once more while the dust puffed into the air.
Kotoko flipped the first page to find a group of people smiling. "Hey look, there's Sasuke, Sakurs Ino-. She proceeded to name all the people in the picture then turned through the next three pages, which seemed to be filled with party pictures. Kotoko loved seeing the happy pictures until she flipped to the last page. On the page showed Kotoko smiling with Takuto and Hazuki. In another was Kotoko kissing Takuto. Kotoko hands shaked. She couldn't stop them. Kotoko Then dropped the album. Suddenly a picture popped out a secret compartment that would change everything. Kotoko slowly picked it up and gasped. On the picture was………
