Hey, I'm really sorry 4 not posting sooner, Europe and summer and everything so yeah…

…………………...19. Hey! Writers block is gone!...

outside again

"Ok, we're going back, the Hokage would like to see." Kakashi declared once again looking slightly suspiciously at Kana. The Hokage came out after him. They walked to the forest. Kana had a light conversation with Sasuke. Sasuke and Sakura, where in a good mood, Kana was pretty close second, the others looked quite grim.

When they where there the Hokage immediately did a Jutsu. Kana had seen this before…of course, it was used to see the chakra remains. He studied the burn mark. He put his palm over it, and walked to Kana. He touched her hand. Then he went to where Sasuke had fallen (of course only Kana knew that was where, the 'Kage probably knew because of Sasuke's Chakra remains) he came and touched Sasuke and nodded again.

He went to Kakashi and whispered.

" Yes, I sense Kana's Chakra, and Sasuke's. There was another one two, a lot like Sasuke's, so it might have been him, though I see no reason why he and Kana would fight." Kana heard the comment and stood rigid, waiting for the next.

"I think Kana might be trouble, warn your students. We won't worry the town, no one was hurt. I know she's dangerous if let loose. Try to keep her temper down too."

"She has a temper?" Kakashi asked. The 'Kage laughed. This was meant to lighten the mood.

Kana had heard it all. She looked at Sasuke, Then at Kakashi and the Hokage. She desperately wanted to run away, but she promised Itachi. Why did she keep a promise to a mass murderer? Because it was to protect the person that meant the most to her. Who is that person? She cannot say. (A/N: confused? Because this makes no sense wink) She started to walk away, Sasuke went after her.

"Where are you going?" He asked innocently.

"No where" she lied. "I was just going to look at something."

"Ok." He said. Kana smiled and went to where she always trained with Sasuke, the boulder where she first stayed, where she really met Sasuke, where Neji gave her the shell. It was where so many things happened. Adventure was called to it. Like her life revolved around it.

She sat upon it and started to plan. What she would do. How she could do it. What would happen. All on a schedule in her head. She thought of new ways to train, ways to be more convenient, less dependant. Then she thought about people and things in her life. She made a list: Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Itachi, Kakashi, Neji, Ten-Ten, Lee….Then came the things: Her pack, footsteps (A/N: that's symbolism, not really something that can be had) the boulder…hmm…maybe I should name it…Myouri…yes…Myouri. She carved the name in the stone. OK, what else…Me…I am my greatest possession. I'm not worth being a person…(whoa, talk about degrading yourself)

Sasuke's pov

"Ok, we're going back; the Hokage would like to see." Kakashi declared once again looking slightly suspiciously at Kana. The Hokage came out after him. The walked to the forest. Kana had a light conversation with Sasuke. She was unusually unhappy, even her indifferent face was lost. I really hope she's ok…Sakura talked with Sasuke some also.

When they where there the Hokage immediately did a Jutsu. Sasuke had seen this before…of course; it was from his dream, only it was night. The 'Kage studied the burn mark. He put his palm over it, and walked to Kana. He touched her hand. Then he went to where Sasuke remembered he had fallen. The 'Kage came and touched Sasuke's forehead and nodded again.

He went to Kakashi and whispered something Sasuke couldn't hear. He caught some words though.

"….sense Kana's Chakra, and Sasuke's. ... Like Sasuke's, so it ….. Been him. ……he and Kana …..." This made no sense to Sasuke . This has to do with Kana…they said my name to though…I'm confused…

"….. Kana ……trouble, warn ….. …. worry …. town… hurt. … she's dangerous ………keep … too." Another senseless string of words. Kakashi asked something. The 'Kage laughed.

Kana looked at Sasuke, Then at Kakashi and the Hokage. She looked like she was debating what to do next, like she wanted to run away. What was stopping her? Why did the 'Kage want to inspect a simple battle, what did it have to do with Kana? She started to walk away, Sasuke went after her.

"Where are you going?" He asked innocently.

"No where" she lied. "I was just going to look at something."

"Ok." Kana smiled and went off towards the forest. I wonder where she's going. I'll follow her in a little…

As she thought she didn't seem notice anything or anyone around her.

"Kana? Are you ok?" Sasuke asked. She wasn't startled, infact she was sitting with her back against the boulder, it had something carved in it…Myou? Kana looked up at Sasuke.

"I was just thinking," She said, getting up.

"Let's go." She said taking Sasuke's hand and started to pull on him to come. She was startled when he resisted.

"No, you have to tell me what's going on. I know you know." Kana looked at him, then she turned to face him. "Ok, I can't stop you from knowing, but I wont tell you everything." She said.

"Ok."

"Wel.l…" Kakashi interrupted her, He looked and Sasuke and whispered, "I told you not to stray, much less near her." Kana appeared not to hear. She was about to tell me! Why now of all times!

"S...sorry." He left with Kakashi. Kana stood there…She looks so alone…

(Kana pov again)

She didn't seem notice anything or anyone around her.

"Kana? Are you ok?" Sasuke asked. She wasn't startled; in fact she was sitting with her back against the boulder, waiting for him. Kana looked up at Sasuke.

"I was just thinking," She said, getting up.

"Let's go." She said taking Sasuke's hand and started to pull on him to come. She was startled when he resisted. Why did he stop?

"No, you have to tell me what's going on. I know you know." Kana looked at him, then she turned to face him. I suppose I must…"Ok, I can't stop you from knowing, but I wont tell you everything." She said. He can't know everything…

"Ok." I hope this is ok…stall for a second, I think that's Kakashi I sense. She felt a new presence.

"Well…" Kakashi interrupted her, right on queue. He looked and Sasuke and whispered, "I told you not to stray, much less near her." Kana could hear, though she pretended not to. It hurt her that he said that, but she was glad she didn't have to explain anything. Sasuke…I don't want you to get hurt…I couldn't live if you where hurt…She stood oddly alone while Sasuke kept looking back as he followed Kakashi.

I wonder what it would be like if I had never come…poor Sasuke. I hope I can protect him with Kakashi keeping him away from me. She sat in a tree and watched the clouds slowly roll across the sky. So carefree. They just float where the wind wants them to. No decisions for them. She remembered a poem she heard before:

Look! There's a giant stretching in the sky,
A thousand white-maned horses flying by,
A house, a mother mountain with her hills,
A lazy lady posing in her frills,
cotton floating from a thousand bales,
And a white ship with white sails.

See the old witch fumbling with her shawl,
White towers piling on a castle wall,
the bits of soft that break and fall away,
Airborne mushrooms with undersides of gray -
Above, a white doe races with her fawn
On the white grass of a celestial lawn.
Lift up your lovely heads and look
As wind turns clouds into a picture book.

-Mary O'Niell

She watched the sky, and watched the shapes the wind molded from them. She found a variety of things, but she saw a person, a heart, a horse, a hand, a rose, a monkey, a ship, and a giant bird. She lay there for hours, until the sunset. She watches the sun leave along it's daily path, and the moon return for its share of Kohona village. The moon has returned to watch over us as the sun is away, and as must I watch over Sasuke 'till his brother returns…..

Does Kana seem depressed or does Kana seem depressed? It's prolly 'cuz I'm kinda depressed right now…I'm gonna start using poems and stuff more often now.
