Thank you so much for the reviews. I'm like kind of busy so I think that it'll take me a little longer than I expected to post up a chapter. So I'm sorry to you who read my story. But I appreciate it if you continue.

Chapter 3Then a head popped up from above. It was a boy hanging upside down; standing on the ceiling. Everybody was surprise and terrified except for Suka.
"Looking for me?" the boy asked as he jumped down from the ceiling. He had short black hair and centered; there's a little spiked up oh his sides. He had two diamond earrings on the left side of his ear. He was wearing a red hooded sleeveless shirt with a pair of blue shorts. The pair of sneaker he was wearing was red and white. There was a Hidden Mist tied around his arm.
"Ryo!" Suka said. She quickly got up and gave him a hug. Musco's fist was clenching more tighter. Again only Sakura and Elie noticed.
"You should loosen up." Sakura whispered to Musco.
"I thought you couldn't make it because I heard that there was a plan crash in the U.S." Suka said as she let go.
"I almost couldn't make it. I was suppose to go on that plane but it was the day after." Ryo stated. He noticed the visitors. "Oh, and who might you be?"
"Oh, these are Sakura's friends." Suka introduced them to Ryo one by one.
"Hey. I'm Ryo. Ryo Haruno." Ryo introduced himself.
"Ryo and I have been childhood friends ever since when I was born." Suka said. She had her arms around Ryo's. Ryo's other hand was inside the pocket.
"By the way where is sensei?" Ryo asked.
"Oh yeah I haven't seen her ever since I came back." Sakura said looking around.
"Oh don't worry; she's here; she came with me. She is just talking to our grandparents." Suka said. She noticed a woman walking past. She was wearing a short kimono with her hair in a bun and two chopsticks popping out. She was wearing sandals and had fish net socks. Her sleeves were kind of cut off. "There she is. Keiko-sensei!" Suka waved her hand. Everybody turned to the woman's direction. The chuunins and jounins were shock when facing Keiko. (A/N: Well, for the chuunins its just Iruka and so on…)
"Hey." Keiko said calmly. She sat down on the empty space on a couch.
"What are you doing here?" Iruka asked.
"What do you mean? I live here what else?" Keiko said.
"You live here?" Yurnai asked.
"Keiko is our sensei." Sakura answered. Everyone was staring at her in confusion.
"Yeah." Suka added. "She was hired by our grandparents."
"Talking about grandparents, they're going to be right down here. They're coming down here soon." Keiko said.
"Who her? You know her?" Naruto asked.
"Keiko was one of the jounnins except she left." Kakashi started. "She felt that she was to weak so she left and trained. I would never guess that you'll end up here."
"Yes but still." Gai's face was serious. "That gives me another chance to ask her out." Gai held up a fist. "Even though I fail years ago I will truly succeed." Gai said eagerly in a whisper.
"Well, it just happened all of a sudden. I even forgot how I got here." Keiko said as she was drinking her tea.
"Sakura remembers. She was the one that found you." Suka said.
"Oh yeah." Musco said. "Why don't you tell us." Musco said.
"Well…." Sakura started.
FlashbackIt was three years ever since Keiko-sensei came in to the family. I remember how I found her. Or how we met.
A young girl was practicing in the gardens. She was waving her hands up and down. The leaves were following her motion. Beside her was a fox like animal. Except that it kind of meows. It had a collar with a small sapphire stone. It had about four tails and the ends of those tails were kind of shaded blue. Also the paws were kind of blue. The fox like animal were purring and Sakura paused.
"Kira?" She walked over to the fox-like animals and bend down. "What's wrong?" Sakura placed the pet on her lap and brushed Kira. Kira jumped off and ran away. "KIRA!" Sakura said. She followed Kira into the forest. Kira finally stopped. Sakura was then grasping for breaths and then saw what Kira found. "Is this why you were troubled?" Sakura walked up the person. Her hair was in the way and Sakura kind of lifted up her hair; it was a woman. Kira purred. "She's a summoner isn't she?" Kira nodded her head up and down. "Let's bring her back she seems like she's still a live."
ROOM (FLASHBACK STILL)
The woman slowly opened her eyes. She got up slowly as she was holding her head and was shaking a little as she was getting up. The young Suka walked into the room with Kira following. She was holding a tray with two kind of dishes and a bowl of rice. Suka noticed the woman getting up and then rushed to her. She placed down the tray. She helped the woman get up.
"Be careful. You still haven't cure yet." Suka said.
"Thank you. But who are you? Did you bring me here?" the woman asked.
"I'm Suka Haruno and it was my cousin Sakura who brought you here. You were kind of badly hurt. You should really try to rest here a little bit." Suka said. The young Sakura went inside the room. "There she comes." Suka said as she pointed to Sakura. Sakura was carrying the woman's clothes in.
"I see you're awake. Here's your clothes; it was wet so we dried them up for you." Sakura said as she handed the woman the clothes. The woman looked at what she was wearing. She was wearing a buttoned down white dress.
"I see." The woman said. Suka placed the tray of food in front of her.
"Here eat up." Suka said.
"Thank you." The woman started to eat. She was eating kind of fast. "This is delicious." The woman said. It took the woman about ten minutes to finish up the plates. "Man that was good." Suka lifted up the empty tray and placed it on the table next to them. The woman was drinking the water. "So do you girls live here alone?" the woman asked.
"Nope we live here with our parents, our cousins' parents and our grandparents." Suka answered. "We're on our way to become a successful summoner just like our grandparents."
"Just like your grandparents?" Keiko asked.
"Yeah. Our grandparents are the… um…" Suka started.
"Superior elders." Sakura finish.
"Yeah that." Suka said loudly.
"WHAT! SUPERIOR ELDERS!" Keiko said loudly. A wet hot towel was placed on Keiko's arm, which had a scratch on it. "OUCH!" Keiko yelled again.
"You shouldn't scream. Your wounds aren't closed up properly." Sakura said as she was slowly rubbing the towel against the scar.
"Thanks you should've told me more earlier." Keiko said. Suka let out a giggle. "What so funny?" Suka stopped the giggling.
"Nothing it's just that you reminded me of our old teacher." Suka said.
"Really? What was she like?" Keiko asked as Sakura was bandaging her.
"She was a kind and warm hearted person. Me, Suka, and all of our cousins all loved her. But…" Suka stopped.
"She died." Sakura started. The children's faces were all sad. Sakura finished the bandaging. "There. All done." Sakura said as she was putting the left over bandage back in the first aid kit.
"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up." Keiko said.
"It's okay we're not sad because she died; we're sad because we never had a moment of realizing that she was such a great teacher. She died because she was trying to save us. We manage to get away but she didn't. When we went back and check on her but we found her body. We brought her home but it was too late." Sakura said. There was a moment of silence.
"So who's your teacher right now?" Keiko asked.
"Nobody. We're afraid of having another teacher." Suka said.
"Is that so? So why not hire me?" Keiko said.
"Hire you? But haven't you heard our story. We are bad kids. Can't you tell? That's why our last teacher died." Sakura added.
"I know. But have you ever wonder why she risked her life to save you children?" Keiko asked.
"Because we're grandchildren of our grandparents?" Suka answered.
"Well yes but also because she loved you. She knew you kids were the bright future of the villages. She never thought you kids were bad." Keiko said. She placed her hand on top of Sakura's head. "She knew that deep down inside you kids were good kids and will help a lot of people keep themselves alive. That's why." Keiko said. She then placed her hand back on her lap. "So what do you say? Hire me?"
"Why do you want to become our teacher?" Suka asked.
"Because I also want to experience the same love your teacher had, but better and besides I have nowhere to go so." Keiko said.
"But you have to be-" Suka said but was then cut off.
"A summoner. Don't worry about that. I'm a summoner. My family is the all famous Okatsu clan." Keiko said proudly. The kids were giggle by Keiko's pose. Then Keiko laughed with them.
"Okay but we'll have to ask our grandparents." Sakura said.
Right there and then I knew that a new adventure was going to start and an adventure I will never forget.
END OF FLASHBACK"And that's the whole story." Sakura said. She took a sip of tea from her cup.
"And trust me it wasn't easy at all. The tests they gave me were risk taking." Keiko said.
"You were nice back then?" Kakashi asked. "I've never recalled you being that kind?"
"How did you know? I've never showed you my good side since you've always showed me your bad side." Keiko said.
"I see everyone is having a good time." A voice was heard from the entrance of that room. Everyone looked at that direction. It was a pair of young grown ups who seems as if they're about 20 or 30 years old. The woman had her hair tied back and was wearing a long dress with a cover on her shoulders. She also had a big white hat on her. The man had a tux on and a cane.
"Who are they?" Jiyarya asked.
"Grandpa! Grandma!" Suka yelled out and rushed to the grandparents. So did the other grandchildren.
"GRANDMA? GRANDPA?" the gang exclaimed in shock.
TBC….
