The next morning was a nice one. The sun was shinning brightly, the ground was already warmed up and the people were going through their daily routines. The village center was full of the delicious smells of fresh food that the wind carried all the way to the creek's bridge by the open fields. There is where three young ninja stand loafing around. "WHY IS KAKASHI ALWAYS LATE?" complained both Sakura and Naruto in an annoyed, unison voice. Sakura continued on while Naruto's attention was averted elsewhere. "We always rush when he sends for us but he's never here to meet us. And it's not like we can take our time because with our luck he'll be waiting for us." "You know he's just making sure we're always on our toes. He's probably hiding in the trees near by waiting until the time is right." Sasuke was so matter-of-factly that Sakura was a bit taken away with him. Ohh. Sasuke. He's so intuitive, unlike Naruto! Hmm… where is Naruto anyway? I know he's here somewhere. "Hey Naruto," -Hum- "You've been offal quiet, what are you doing?" Not completely paying attention, - his gaze was centered towards the other side of the bridge- he shouted back. "It's that guy from lastnight at the ramen stand. I thought he was weird then, but now he's… He's feeding the birds!" Suddenly in that very instance something clicked. "I can't believe I didn't see it before, and even more surprised Kakashi Sensei didn't see it either…" She blurted out thinking more aloud than to herself. Both Sasuke and Naruto were looking at with curiosity in their eyes. And finally Naruto spoke. "See what?" "That's a… a… a WOMAN! It's not a man at all!" "No way!" both Sasuke and Naruto jump up in excitement&. Sasuke stays quiet thinking while Naruto continues on. "That's even weirder than I first thought! " What an ugly woman, or is it a pretty man? I'm not sure. Oh well, it's still creepy. After standing in deep thought Sasuke came to a puzzling point. "Okay, so what is an old woman doing here dressed in rags and feeding the birds? And more to the point, inside or our village?" "Beats me." Naruto said plainly. "Ooh! Ooh! I know! Maybe she's a spy sent from another village that's out to get us!" In his voice rang a hint of excitement at the thought of a spy. "Naruto you're such a fool." Sasuke's response was dry. "Humph. Hey Sakura, what do yooou… thiiink…Hey! Sasuke, where did she…? Where did she go?" "Look! She's walking towards the woman!" Sasuke points a finger towards the bench at the other end of the wooden bridge they were standing on where the old woman sat feeding the birds. Both Naruto and he watch as Sakura made her way to the rag lady. I'll get to the bottom of this. Those two have to be so nosey, well fine! But they could at least get their facts straight. As she approached, she could hear the faint sound of singing. It sounded of a sad song, but the words were of a loving joy. "Ooooh, you knoooow You knooow what to saaay Saaaay "I looove yooou" Ooooh, I think you've got to know right awaaay "Maaayebe meeee toooo" Yooou You are a niiice cooool breeeeze in meee I feeeel yooou…" The old woman took in a deep breath to continue her sad love song when someone cut her of. "Excuse me? Ma'am&?…" The Old woman looked up at the darling whom had interrupted her meditation', to find a young girl looking back at her with a cheerful smile and curious eye. She gave her a some-what startled, yet polite greeting. "Hmm? Oh hello there young miss." "I'm sorry to bother you. May I sit down?" The girl's voice was sweet, emphasizing her youth. "Oh, of course you can." Replied the old woman happily at the thought or having some company. " Here. Have some breadcrumbs. We can talk and feed the birds." Great. I don't thing this is going to be easy. I feel so stupid. "Let's feed the birds."She gave a small sigh of impatience. Well, time to start talking'. I just hope I can hold out long enough, I'm starved. "Thank you." The young girl graciously takes her seat along with the feed. Oh she's nothing more than a normal old lady. Well, aside from her clothes. "By the way my name is Sakura." As she introduces herself the hungry birds begin to gather around her feet where she just threw some breadcrumbs. "That's a beautiful name." Sakura's face starts to turn cherry red. "Oh thank you uh…?" "Oh you can just call me Granny Kay." "Oh, Granny Kay. Thank you." "Not a problem. So what does a nice girl like you want to know?" Sakura shot a look of confusion towards Granny Kay. How did she know I wanted to ask her something? "I can tell there's something on your mind," Once again the girls face started to turn red. "Not many young people like you would come to feed the birds with an old has been such as myself.".
