Dreams
Somewhere around the other country that wasn't on where Konoha, in some building two people, a young woman and a middle-age man were meditating on something. The middle-age man was chanting some ancient words while the young woman was concentrating on a very important role. Until she suddenly stops on her doing and half collapse on the floor, the middle-age man stops his chanting and went to the young woman.
"So were you able to sense her special Chakra?" the man asked the woman.
"No… but I still sense the wolf's Chakra as usual." The woman answered disappointedly, "It's ashamed that he needs to go out alone for the search."
"But he's the only one that we trusted him and knows her appearance…" said the man,
"I'm aware of that too… except you know his hidden feelings well." She informed him, "I also know he is captivating her gentleness. And I'm much afraid if he finds out what happen to her."
"Hush now, dear daughter. I'm sure he'll find way to see her again and help her regain her memories." He told her.
"But I'm much aware about the prophecy." She added, "What if the prophecy didn't go well?"
"That's enough my daughter… you shouldn't doubt about it. Instead you should trust our guard who has been on your sister's side for long." He told her, "I know he'll definitely find her no matter what. He promised us, ne?"
The middle-aged man looks at the window near to them. He was staring at the beautiful view of the village with cherry blossom trees are blooming. The man looks so sad when he saw those beautiful trees.
"Royal Guard, please find my youngest daughter before time runs out." He whispers, "Destiny is in your hands."
----Konoha
Tsukiya suddenly woke up at the middle of the night she was sweating a lot. She had a strange dream no a terrible nightmare that was confusing her. Yet her heart was getting in deeply pain when she remembers of that dream. Her mind shows about a young girl in an age of five or six wearing a mask
"What was that about?" She whispered, "Why am I dreaming about that girl with a mask?"
Another normal day in the village many people were doing on their usual routine, Tsukiya was helping out the Haruno family doing their house chores. She was all happy and smiling although there was something wrong with her as Sakura noticed that the young blonde haired girl was often to be down just now.
"Hey you okay, Tsukiya-chan?" Sakura asked her worriedly.
"Hm? Yeah I'm fine, Sakura-chan. I'm just a little tired you don't need to worry me that much." She told her.
Tsukiya smiled at Sakura, the pink haired girl didn't ask her more as she notices that the young girl really need some time out. Although she was also worried of her young friend's strangeness, she looked at Ryuki. The white wolf shared the same concern of its young mistress.
"Tsukiya-chan! There's a guy who wants to meet you." Sakura's mother called Tsukiya.
"Now I wonder what business does he wants with you, Tsukiya-chan?" the pink haired girl wondered.
Sakura gave a wonder smile to the young blond haired girl but when she gave the smile she notices Tsukiya wasn't smiling back or even looking at her. Instead she looks all daze out and her mind was focusing on something else. Before Sakura could even asks the young girl, but Ryuki blocks Sakura's way. The great white wolf also shares the same worried to its mistress.
"I know you're also concern to Tsukiya-chan… but don't you think it's better if we help her?" she asked the wolf.
Ryuki continues to stare Sakura as it was trying to tell her it'd be okay. The short pink haired girl stares at the great white wolf then she gives up and goes back to her chores, also Ryuki. Few minutes have passed after Tsukiya left on the backyard, she came back still with her expressionless face.
"Who was that boy who came for you just now, Tsukiya-chan?" the pink haired girl wondered,
"Another admirer had confessed me." Tsukiya answered, "That's already the 10th boy who confessed me."
Sakura giggled, "Well you're really popular here and I could see guys really like you." She said.
"Still I'm not interested in boys, Sakura-chan." She replies, "I don't know what kind of guys I like…"
Knowing that Tsukiya was getting more down, Sakura decides to skip the subject. She tells the little girl that she needs to go to the grocery to buy the things that they need for their supper. Tsukiya just nods her head and went off with the list and Ryuki along with her. Sakura stare at the little blonde haired girl with a concern expression.
"Really, Tsukiya-chan, you're always worried to yourself." Sakura whispered.
As Tsukiya was heading her way to the grocery, she could see some other children were playing joyfully to their fun games. Then young children were having their quality time together with their mother or father or with their family. Seeing some sort of things, she felt a little envy to the young children and felt so incomplete.
"Why am I so unlucky to have amnesia in the first place?" Tsukiya thought, "What was it's trying to prevent me?"
The young blonde haired beauty was already inside of the grocery store, she unconscious took the things that aren't the ones that Sakura had told her. She took pancake flour instead of flour, a pack salt instead of a pack of sugar, and a can of tuna instead of tuna. Tsukiya took them all in the counter still lost in her world…
"Are you sure those are the things you're going to buy, little missy?" a familiar voice asked her.
Tsukiya finally got her conscious back. She looks up at the person who was on the counter and she gasped seeing the familiar person she knew. The guy was none other than… Minamoto Shirou.
"Shirou-san?" she gasped, "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't you know I also do some part-time job here, Tsukiya-chan?" he answered her. "Um… like I said before are you sure you're taking the right choices?"
"Eh?" she wondered and looks at the food on the counter, "Wait a minute those aren't the ones I need to buy." She gasped,
"Thought so." He said.
Shirou helped the young blonde haired girl to get the things she needs to buy the real one. Tsukiya was really glad Shirou was there and without him she might gone home and bought the wrong things. The young girl was about to head home now but Shirou has something to ask her importantly. Before the young blonde haired girl could protest the older lad had already said good-bye to his boss of the store, which Tsukiya has no choice but to tell him.
"Now can you tell me what's bothering you?" Shirou asked her politely, "I can see your mind is being clouded."
"… Nothing actually but, I kindda feel so incomplete…" Tsukiya answered, "I… only lived Sakura-chan's house."
"Huh? Don't you live at your family…" he said but Tsukiya interrupted him,
"I don't have a family, Shirou-san. I don't remember exactly who I am or where I originally came from." She added, "I just wondered around the places until I ended up here."
"I… I'm sorry what I said." He quickly apologized to her, "Really I never thought about it."
"It's okay. You're concern, ne? You don't need to pity me." She told him.
The older red haired lad stares at the young blonde haired girl who was smiling but he could not be fooled to her expression. He could see the deep sadness that was hidden in Tsukiya's smile. The little girl excused her self then she left Shirou behind and heads back to Sakura's home. Shirou continues to stare at Tsukiya with a concern expression that was on his face.
"That girl… is a mystery." He thought, "I wonder if Otouto would get amnesia like her? …That can't be possible."
Night comes again in Konoha, Tsukiya was sitting on the rooftop alone with Ryuki who was sitting next to her yet it was already sleeping as the young blonde haired girl was stroking at her pet's beautiful white fur. The young girl was afraid to see the dream again like she saw last night so she decided to watch. She was in a deep thought while she was staring at the night's countless starry stars then her mouth open.
In the night I've found myself in an unknown place
I can't remember who I am
Neither about my family nor my hometown
Here I am watching at the night's sky
Wandering on my fate
And I've been searching for my answers
Though all I find are all useless…
But I believed someday I'll find this person
Who might have known me
There I find my journey to him
I'll wait even if it's take so long that person for me
For so long…
Please find me soon…
I can't wait to see you…
After Tsukiya ended her song that she composed herself she let out a small sighs out of her breathe remembering that she was still suffering of her amnesia. Not just she was suffering from that she was also in deeply pain questioning to herself on why must she had loosen her memories.
"Why am I here in the first place if I don't have any memories?" she questioned herself so sadly.
While the little girl was still stargazing at the sky she didn't noticed there was someone else aside from Tsukiya was sitting on the rooftop but she didn't noticed that the unknown person was listening to her.
"Tsukiya…" it whispered
The next day, in some place around Konoha Shirou was working quite hard and he was getting much attention to the girls around. Of course he wasn't comfortable to have that much attention to him but he couldn't since he was rather good looking in here.
"Geez when will those girls ever stop looking at me." Shirou whispered to himself.
"Shirou-san?" a familiar voice called him.
Shirou turned his back looking around his left then he saw Hinata was there with Sakura next to her. He thought Tsukiya was with them but to his disappointment she wasn't there.
"Is there something I could help, Hinata-chan and… You are?" he said.
"I'm Haruno Sakura you may call me Sakura. And I'm a friend with Tsukiya-chan too." Sakura answered,
"This oniichan's a total hottie but Sasuke-kun is much hotter than him." Her inner thought yelled out.
"There is something we'd like to ask you." Said Hinata,
"Err… Yes?" he said with a small nervousness.
-Few hours later…
"Come on, Tsukiya-chan. We're going to be late." Sakura told Tsukiya.
Sakura was dragging little Tsukiya along with her while Hinata was pushing the young blonde haired girl. The young girl has been really curious on what her two female friends were taking to her but they kept insisting her that she'll find out soon enough once they reached to their destination.
"Honestly, Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan. Where are you taking me?" the little girl asked her curiously,
"You'll find out soon once we reach it there." Hinata answered.
Tsukiya just nod her head and said no more. Ryuki was also walking next to the young blonde kid. The great white wolf never growls or gave any whining only it was trying to help Hinata to push Tsukiya. The young blonde kid was really curious on why her friends and her pet were doing it but she never asks for more since Sakura would never answer to her question even for Hinata. So she decides to find out when she reach to where they're taking her.
Sakura, Hinata and Ryuki continue to do what they're doing until they suddenly stopped and looks up at the sign of the building. Tsukiya notices they've stopped. She looks at the building and read at the sign.
"Karaoke Bar?" the little girl thought.
"That's strange I wonder where Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun are? They should be here." Said Hinata.
"We're here and sorry we're a little late. We have some few errands to arrange." Naruto's voice answered.
The girls and Ryuki turned their heads and saw two familiar boys were standing across from them but not far away. Sasuke and Naruto are there with their usual expression… Naruto in all happy and smiling widely and Sasuke who is still expressionless and cold as usual. Hinata and Sakura felt happy to see their crush, while Tsukiya was still isn't in her energetic mood.
"Why are we here?" Tsukiya asked Sakura.
"Are? I thought you said few weeks ago you wanted to do Karaoke someday." Sakura pointed out, "Have you forgotten?"
"That's why we decided to have a Karaoke Party with Sasuke-kun and Naruto-kun." Hinata added, "Including that person."
"That person?" the little girl whispered.
"Hey what are we waiting for guys? Let's go!" Naruto exclaimed,
Without any warning, they all went in the Karaoke Bar also Ryuki went inside of it even the owner doesn't let any animals inside of its store but he was taken back as he saw the great white wolf really wants to be with its mistress. Sakura sweet-dropped when she saw how serious Ryuki was then Tsukiya quickly apologized to the owner of her pet's behavior. The owner forgiven her and let Ryuki come with her.
"Gomen ne… Ryuki was so protective of me and he doesn't want to be off guard." Tsukiya explained to them.
"It's okay, Tsukiya-chan." Naruto told her, "Anyway we get the room, ne?"
"Yep… but he's still missing." Said Hinata,
"Who's this he you talking about?" Sasuke wondered.
"Oh you'll find out soon when you meet him." The pink haired girl quickly answered,
Sakura took a small glance to Hinata and the shy girl noticed the pink haired girl's glance then she smile at her excitedly. Sasuke, Naruto and Tsukiya were curious on what they were hiding from them but they didn't ask them for more. They move on forward as they reached the room that they were given.
"You sure this is it?" Sasuke asked them.
"This is the room so there's nothing to worry." Sakura replied with a smile.
Naruto glee cheerfully as he extended his hand to the doorknob and opened it. As he opened it, the room was filled with soft comfy chairs sitting across each other, table and a tv with two or more microphones were attached to it. As Naruto found the place really interesting he suddenly gasped as he saw one person was sitting on the chair. One person who has the deep crimson red hair and eyes was smiling at our heroes… was no other than Minamoto Shirou.
"Hello I've been waiting for you guys for quite a long time." Shirou smiled at them.
"Who are you?"Naruto and Sasuke asked Shirou,
"Oh you two must be Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke that Sakura-chan and Hinata-chan told me about. Let me introduce myself, I'm Minamoto Shirou." Shirou replied, "I'm currently nineteen(19) years old."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Shirou-san." Hinata apologized him,
"Hold on, why is Shirou-san here?" Tsukiya asked
"Huh? Didn't you know he usually works here?" said Sakura, "We've invited him over once his shift's was over."
"If you're wondering I have ten(10) jobs per day." Shirou inquired them proudly,
The youngsters stared at Shirou with a disbelieving expression on their faces. They never believed that the red haired lad actually works for ten jobs per day. It's unnatural for a guy like him to work so many works.
"Isn't that hard work?" Tsukiya asked him in a concerned tone,
"Nope… I just like to work hard since I don't want to bother my family." Shirou informed them.
"Was your family also here?" Sakura asks him,
"No, but the truth is I originally came from the other country. And I never bring my family here with me." He replied, "So I went off alone. Of course, I write them letters to let them know how well I am."
"That was very considerate of you, Shirou-san." Tsukiya impressed him.
"Not at all." He whispered,
"Now everyone's complete… LET'S PARTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYY!" Naruto shouted excitedly.
First Naruto sang that is full of excitement and proud, Sasuke seems to be irritating hearing the loud mouth's singing while Hinata find it really fascinating to hear the young mischief boy's singing voice. She felt so happy to hear him sing for the first time. While some of them were having good time, Ryuki has been trying to cheer its mistress but he fail as Tsukiya continues sinking in deep thought. Sakura and Hinata were really worried to the young girl as Naruto ended his turn this gave them a good idea.
"Next will be Tsukiya-chan!" Hinata announced happily,
"Eh? But I don't know any song." The little girl protested it,
"Come on Tsukiya-chan sing any song!" Naruto cheered her
"O-okay…" she answered,
"You'll do fine, Tsukiya-chan." Shirou encouraged her.
The young blonde haired girl was struck at Shirou's words she felt she had heard that words somewhere although the voice was different. She recalls a mysterious boy who has the same color of Shirou's hair except it was a bit shorter than his. She could not see his face very well for it was actually blurred but she could sense that the person was kind as she saw his smile was showing her kindness and concern.
"You'll do fine… Just believe to yourself." He told her.
"You okay, Tsukiya-chan? You seem all daze…" Hinata asked her.
Tsukiya blinked her eyes as she found herself standing and was being off to the clouds again. She looks around her place and saw finally got her consciousness back and saw her friends and Ryuki were showing concern to her even for Sasuke, which is too rare for him to be concern to anyone. The young blue-eyed girl quickly smiled at them, the smile that makes everyone warms their heard.
"Sorry, guys." She whispers softly, "I know you were all concerned about me."
Everyone continue to stare at the young girl confusedly what she was muttering about except for the great white wolf as it just stares at its mistress looking proudly. The young girl got out from her standing and took the microphone from Naruto's hand. The young mischief boy was about to ask her although Hinata pulls him to sit down next to her. The sound was starting up and Tsukiya was still smiling as she began to sing.

While Tsukiya was singing really great, Sakura, Hinata and Naruto were shocked and amazed hearing the little girl was singing really beautiful than they never expected. Including Shirou who is also shocked yet he found himself being drawn to the beautiful young girl's aura. As for Sasuke he still has his expressionless but I the inside he was shocked too hearing the young girl would have such great singing voice than he had ever heard still his mind was trying focus about one girl that he wanted hear to badly. As he look at the pink haired girl secretly.
"Sakura…" Sasuke whispers softly.
"This girl… she is different from the girls I've known in Konoha." Shirou thought, "She's absolutely like a goddess to me."
"Wow… I never thought Tsukiya-chan has a great voice." Sakura whispered to herself,
"I agree…" Hinata agreed with Sakura.

-End of Song
The little girl stops her singing as she inches away the microphone and sighs softly. She was tired from singing yet she felt really great when she had sung such beautiful song. She looks at her friends then she sweat-dropped as she saw they were all staring at her amazingly at her voice.
"Umm… I'm done guys." She answered
"Wow! That was so awesome, Tsukiya-chan. I didn't know you were great singer." Hinata compliment the young girl.
"I've never heard such beautiful voice to that song, Tsukiya-chan." Naruto added with glee,
"Umm… Thanks you guys." Tsukiya blushed.
"That was so beautiful, Tsukiya-chan. You sang like a goddess." Shirou praised her.
Shirou wasn't just praising at Tsukiya's beautiful voice, he was also holding her two hands to his both hands and he was staring at her, as his deep crimson red eyes were astonishing to her. The little blonde haired girl wasn't affected to Shirou although she just stared at him confusedly. Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata and Sakura were watching at them…
"Umm… thanks for your kind compliment, Shirou-san." She thanked him, "Will you mind let go of my hands?"
"Oh… sorry 'bout that." He quickly apologized to her,
"That Shirou has a liking on Tsukiya-chan, ne?" Naruto whispered to Hinata,
"I thought so too." Hinata agreed
"Come on guys this is only the beginning of fun!" Sakura announced excitedly,
Everyone except Ryuki(he's a wolf what do you expect to see him) and Sasuke, as they both stared at the energetic pink haired girl, shouted in 'yeah'. Tsukiya was also including to that too, which surprise for them to see her in her high energetic side. Then they all continue to have some fun on karaoke even Sasuke has to participate to sing. Sasuke would pass although Sakura had pushed him and told him to sing any song, which he did.
"SASUKE-KUN IS SO GREAT!" shouted Sakura's inner self.
-Hours passed until Sakura and Tsukiya reach at Sakura's house
Tsukiya plumped herself on the sofa she was incredibly dead tired after having a fun day on a karaoke bar with her friends. Tsukiya had her energetic spirit back, Sakura felt happy to see the same expression that she has been dying to see that again. Ryuki was also happy to see its mistress' happy face too.
"So Tsukiya-chan, how are you feeling now?" Sakura asked her.
"Well, for somehow my heart's not confusing anymore and I felt better. I wonder why?" She replied
"You want to know? You should not worry about what's your past but worry on what's going to happen forward." The pink haired girl explained to her, "I'm sure you'll find out your past someday but right now you should look forward."
The young blonde haired girl stares at Sakura surprisingly at her words yet she seems to be touched what she meant. She gave out her best smile as the pink haired girl loved to see her smile again.
"Thanks for cheering me up, Sakura-chan and you too Ryuki." Tsukiya thanked them, "From now I won't worry about the past. I'll just keep on walking forward."
"That's the spirit, Tsukiya-chan." Sakura smiled,
-Night comes again
Tsukiya was up again sitting at the same rooftop with Ryuki along with her. She was still staring at the beautiful stars again with a smile across of her face. Ryuki sees its mistress was getting much better from her depress which makes the white wolf much happy. Then the white wolf suddenly remembers something and places its head to Tsukiya's lap.
"What is it now, Ryuki?" Tsukiya asked curiously.
Ryuki continues to whine a lot, which makes Tsukiya confused of her wolf's problem. She just smiled at him and gave him a small pat then she noticed a something was on the wolf's mouth. Tsukiya looked at her pet's mouth and saw the necklace.
"Is this what you wanted to show me, Ryuki?" she asked him, "I thought I've lost it ever since I first came here. Thank you for bringing it back to me."
The little girl smiled and hugged at Ryuki at the same time. Then she put on the necklace over her neck of course she put it inside of her turtleneck. As she put it on, she jolted out suddenly as her mind shows unexpected images that don't seem familiar yet deep of her heart she could feel the cries of pain.
"What was that?" she whispers in a scared tone. "What are these images are trying to tell me?"
Far away from the Konoha Village, there was a boy, who seems to be in his middle teens, wearing a heavy hooded cloak to cover his identity. He was jumping over the trees one to another his jump was really high and fast almost like a wolf. That lad was in search of something valuable that he must accomplish no matter what.
"What's this?" he gasped.
The lad stopped from his high jumping and stood still at the top tree. He scans around of his surroundings as he was trying to find something that was ahead of him. He found nothing so he shuts his eyes concentrating for finding the familiar Chakra that he could find. The Chakra was showing from his body then it suddenly disappears as he found something that he has been searching for.
"There is no doubt the scent I smell is the Lunar Princess's." he whispered softly, "Please wait for me. I'm coming for you."

Kairi: Man… chapter four was the most difficult one that I've ever done… By the way I know you've noticed some song or poem that was mentioned in here that Tsukiya was singing at first, it was written by me. I may not be a great poet writer but I'll try my best. Also the song that was mentioned in here wasn't mine it belongs to GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA or GTO's first ending theme, Last Piece. I just like this ending song very much so here's the translation.
Last PieceLets go somewhere far away; the two of us
To find the new feelings we have for each other
If I'm with u we can get over any obstacles
Looking forward to a new tomorrow.
Open your eyes and the door would open
To the world around you
Take your best friend to the world outside
And relive the childhood memories you had.
I wanted to see you but I couldn't
Just bottling up the feelings I have for you inside of me
Even though I'm walking alone
I cant stop thinking about your smile.
I'm standing right here, under the suns hot rays
But, more importantly, stay yourself.
The last piece of the puzzle
Even though it was close to me I looked past it
The way you were being nice to me
Now I can give you a direct answer.
The songs we listened to still stay in my ear
I'm not sad, and I'll keep it that way from now on.
The bright city filled with people
Letting the wind take me where it blows
The world around me
Looks different
Making my own rules.
If this is my true feelings I have,
Then I can go to where you are, without hesitation.
Lets go somewhere far away, just the two of us
To find the new feelings we have for each otherIf I'm with you we can get over any obstacles
Looking forward to a new tomorrow.
Kairi: As you noticed from this chapter, Shirou mentioned 'Otouto' it means 'younger brother' in Japanese.
