Yay! Chapter 5!

May walked back to the alley with Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi behind her. May sat down on the cold ground and looked up at everyone as they followed her movements. Then she began to speak.

"Ummm... What do you want to know?" May asked in a quiet voice.

"I want to know about your family," Kakashi said.

"W-well, I don't r-really know where or who my parents are. All I know is what they look like." May answered as everyone got confused.

"But how do you know there appearances, and yet you don't know who they are?" Sakura asked.

"Because, I have this..." May said as she took off the gold chain from her neck and laid the chain in her hands.

"Can I see it?" Kakashi asked politely. She nodded and Kakashi carefully picked up the locket from her hands. He examined it, it was a heart-shaped golden locket with carvings with May's name on it. He carefully opened the locket and saw a picture of a women, a man and a baby. The picture looked like a very happy family, but Kakashi noticed something, He looked closely at the man with the chocolate brown hair and amber eyes. He noticed something on his forehead but couldn't get a good view of it because of the man's bangs covering it. Kakashi squinted his eyes, trying to figure out what it was...

Then he saw it.

It was the Village hidden in the grass symbol. He wore a Konoha headband. But did this mean he was a ninja? And what about May and the woman, did they once lived in Konoha? Kakashi was curious now, and began to speak.

"Can you tell me about your past?" Kakashi asked.

"W-well, I was taken care of by Hiroshi. He was my best friend, and I would tell him everything. I would tell him about the little thoughts in my head, how I would find my family, what my house would look like, and when we found my family, he would read me stories when I couldn't sleep at night, maybe one day he'll come back," May said in her quiet tone.

Everyone looked at her with pity eyes. They knew that the old man wouldn't come back, she was to naive and gullible, that she never knew. But she had lots of hope and passion to find what she's looking for...

"I bet he will come back," Sakura lied.

"I hope so," May said as she faced the ground.

"What if you came with us?" Kakashi said with a smile.

"Really?" May asked.

"Sure, why not? We can leave tomorrow morning," Kakashi said.

May just nodded with a big smile on her face. She was so happy inside, she couldn't wait to see Konoha, when she was day dreaming, Kakashi suddenly spoke to her...

"Have you've ever been in Konoha?" Kakashi asked suspiciously.

"N-not that I can remember, I lived here m-my whole life," May answered.

"I see," Kakashi said.

"Anyways, did you get your breakfast?" Kakashi asked and May just shook her head.

"Okay. We can go to the market place and get some food, and I'll pay for it" Kakashi said.

"You don't have t-to pay for me K-Kakashi, I f-found some money on the ground," May stuttered.

"Really? Let me see!" Naruto yelled as he took May's money and started counting it.

"Wow May! You found a lot of money, you must have a guardian angel looking after you," Naruto joked while giving her money back.

"I hope so, I w-want to thank it f-for giving m-me all this m-money," May told.

"Maybe one day you will, and you can thank it in person," Sakura said with a smile as May smiled back.

"Are we going to talk about angels all day? I want to eat already!" Naruto exclaimed.

"What! You just ate your breakfast you idiot!" Sakura yelled back at Naruto.

"But I'm hungry again," Naruto weeped.

"Fine, but you have to pay for it yourself," Sakura said as she crossed her arms.

"Huh! I can't pay for it! I have no money on me!" Naruto complained.

"Don't worry Naruto I can pay for you," Kakashi said as he was chuckling to himself.

"What are we waiting for then!" Naruto yelled cheerfully and headed towards the market place as May picked up all three cats and trailed off behind them.


They walked towards the market place and stopped by a few stores to get some food. Kakashi bought Naruto and May each a loaf of bread, while Sakura and Sasuke waited for them by a tree. As they waited they began to talk, and they talked about random things.

"So What do you think about this mission?" Sakura asked.

"I'm not getting any stronger. If I'm not strong then I can't kill him." Sasuke answered coldly.

"It is not that bad, I mean... we met someone new, and she's really nice" Sakura said as she blushed.

"As long as she doesn't get in my way," Sasuke said in his icy voice.

As Sakura and Sasuke were talking, May and Naruto were eating their food, as they were eating there food they sat down on a nearby bench. May broke her bread into small pieces to feed her cats, and the other half, she ate herself. As the cats were eating, one cat smelled something bitter and jumped off the bench and ran to where the displeasing smell was.

"Oh no," May mumbled to herself as she gave the other two cats to Naruto to hold, and chased after the animal.

"Hey! Where are you going!" Naruto hollered as he ran after May with two cats in his hand. Everyone looked up to see why Naruto was yelling, as they looked up, they saw Naruto and May running further away to the distance. Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi ran after both of them.

The cat ran and followed that bitter smell and it lead to a crowd, the bitter smell was coming from a house, and the cat went in to find out where the smell was coming from, as May followed pushing through the crowd of people.

Naruto followed May, then he stopped. He wondered why there was so many people crowded around this place. He stopped for a moment until Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi caught up.

"What happened and where's May?" Sakura asked.

"I think she was chasing her pet and I lost her, she went through this crowd!" Naruto explained.

"We have to find her," Kakashi said as he pushed himself in the crowd, and everyone did the same. When they finally got to the front, they saw a house on fire, and they knew why everyone was crowding this place. As they were looking for May.

"Excuse me? Have you seen a girl, with a white shirt and black shorts?" Sakura asked nearby person.

"I think so, I think she was the girl that ran in the building," The women answered.

"Thank you," Sakura said and returned to her team.

"Oh no! She's in the burning house!" Sakura panicked.

"What! Didn't she know it was on fire!" Naruto complained.

"Maybe she didn't know, maybe she was only concentrating on catching her cat," Sakura explained.

"We have to go get her," Sakura said as she jumped inside the building, followed by Sasuke and Naruto.


As they were in the building, pieces of the roof had fallen with fire devouring the wood. They entered the house, and could hardly see and breathe with the smoke and flames surrounding them.

"Do you see May?" Naruto coughed.

"No, I can't see anything," Sasuke replied.

"Maybe we should split up, it would be faster," Sakura said as both Sasuke and Naruto nodded.

May was running desperately around the house, trying to look for her cat. As she looked she became dizzy and started to sweat because the heat from the flames, suddenly she stopped for a moment and looked around, she didn't know where she was, but she knew she was somewhere with fire, and there was no way her cat survived. At that moment she just felt like wanting die, everybody that she loved, left her. As she was standing, she flinched as something was touching her shoulder.

"What the hell are you doing!" Sasuke said as he coughed.

"M-my cat went in here, a-and now I don't know w-where he is!" May answered.

"Whatever, you have to get out of here," Sasuke said.

"But there's not point in living if everyone you loved has left you," May spoke as tears began to form. Sasuke was furious about what May said, he held out his hand and slapped May hard on the face. As he slapped her, she felt a throbbing pain on her left cheek. She looked up and Sasuke started to speak.

"Everyone has something to live for, even if they are as foolish and pathetic as you! And don't even say everyone you loved has left you, Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi came all this way just to look for you! So if you still want to die, I could care less," Sasuke said in a harsh tone. He turned around and walked, but stopped as he felt a tug on his shirt.

"I'm sorry," May said as she tried to get rid of her tears.

"If you want to get out, follow me," Sasuke said as he ignored her apology. As they ran around the house, they had found Sakura and Naruto nearby.

"Hey look! There's Sasuke, and he found May," Sakura said

"Good! Now let's get out of here, this place is going to fall apart any minute!" Naruto said as he knocked down the door next to him. Naruto ran out the door as Sakura, Sasuke, and May followed.
