Chapter 28
"What? What did you just say?" Said the Hokage's wife in a breathless voice. Her husband was tucking their sleeping daughter onto the couch but he stopped to look sharply at the ANBU. "A visitor?" he said, an eyebrow raised. Where did he come from?" "Not a he, Hokage-Sama…a she. And she came out of the mirror." Seyann's shocked eyes widened and she raced out of the room, up the stairs. "Sey…" he started to call after her and he stopped and shrugged. "I guess…it's been too long since she saw her friend.
"Michelle!" shrieked Seyann as she pelted up the stairs. Said girl walked out of the mirror room and stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at her friend. "Seya…" she was cut off when her chakra powered friend slammed into her body. Michelle landed on the ground and gasped for breath. "Ummm…Seyann…you're crushing my ribs." Her friend leapt off of her and helped her to her feet but after doing this she wrapped her arms around her in an equally bone crushing hug. "Now you're pulling my hair out." She said dryly. But then she smiled and wrapped her arms around Seyann as well.
Neither noticed the ANBU slip past and go to join Kakashi's guard that was coming up the stairs behind the Hokage himself, who bore his sleeping daughter in his arms.
"Michelle I'm so glad you decided to come over here…" Whispered Seyann, releasing her friend and linking their arms. "Hey Kakashi…or should I say Hokage-Sama?" Kakashi seemed to contemplate this for a moment before Seyann answered for him, sending a Look in his direction. "No. Kakashi is fine."
Seyann and Michelle walked down the stairs arm in arm with Kakashi and his honor guard behind them.
"So…what changed your mind…why did you come." "Well…the ANBU you sent to protect me not only helped save my life but he also was the one who persuaded me to come over." Seyann quirked an eyebrow. "Saved your life?"
Michelle gave a nervous laugh before saying "Long story. Anyways…he persuaded me to come over…I actually have to thank him properly." Michelle disentangled herself from Seyann's arm and turned around. "Can I speak with one of your ANBU guard for a moment Kakashi?" When the Hokage had given his consent, Michelle jerked her head to a side room and the ANBU who had come to meet her followed her into the conference room.
"I…I never really got a chance to truly thank you. If you hadn't come when you had, not only would he have more than likely killed me but I was at a point where I was going to chose to stay…if he didn't kill me because I knew I couldn't fight him on my own." The ANBU nodded once and said in a passive but friendly voice "You're welcome. I'm glad you realized that there was nothing left for you back there."
Michelle smiled. "You know…I really enjoy talking to you and you seem very good at giving advice. Would you like to meet me on the roof of wherever I'm staying so we can talk some more?" The ANBU nodded and (she could only assume based on his voice) smiled slightly. "I'd like that."
Michelle walked out of the conference room and went back to her friends only to discover that Kakashi had sent an ANBU to the place where Mika was staying in Konoha and her other friend was there…it was sort of a repeat of when Seyann had discovered that her friend was staying in this world-quite a bit of pain on Michelle's part but as a consolation she got to see her friend again.
The ANBU was left in the room with his thoughts. And he had only one, which he voice out loud. "I wonder what she'll think of me when she finds out who I am…" he murmured as he removed his mask and violet eyes looked at the spot that she had just vacated.
After all the hype had died down (because it was still, at this time, around 12 AM in the morning,) Kakashi showed Michelle a place where she could sleep until her dorm was ready because she just looked so utterly exhausted. Seyann and Mika decided to give the kids to Kakashi to baby sit and they slept in the room with Michelle, almost scared that if they let the Uchiha out of their sight, it would merely be a dream.
However when they woke up the next morning and saw her lying on the bed, black hair fanned out on the white pillow they exchanged a happy look. Seyann snuck over to where she had set up her bed and lifted her pillow, Mika following suit.
Michelle was enjoying a nice dream that was centered around her and a nice long walk in the woods when something slammed down on her face. She leapt up, startled and reaching for her katana…that wasn't there. She looked up sharply around for whoever it had done that…
Only to have a feather land on her nose.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Seyann and Mika who stood in front of her, pillows in hand, smirks on face. "Ha. Ha." She said, brushing the feather off of the tip of her nose. She scooped up her own pillow and threw it at her friends…it didn't take long for a full-blown pillow fight to occur.
Later on that day Michelle had her first Ramen…and she was torn about it. "I don't know. It's got this salty taste, which I don't really like but other than, that it's awesome. But Ramen aside, you guys have got to catch me up on everything that's been happening here." Seyann smiled. "First we have someone who wants to see you."
Into the ramen hut walked her cousin…Sasuke. Her eyes lit up and Seyann waved him over. "Sasuke over here." He walked by Michelle as though she wasn't there. "What is it you wanted to show me Lady Seyann." Michelle gave him a pointed glare as Seyann jerked her head in Michelle's direction.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw his cousin for the first time in 5 years. "Michelle…" he broke into one of his rare smiles, while giving her a tight hug. "It's good to see you again cousin. We need to spar sometime…I want to see how much you've improved. But right now I'm late for a meeting with your husband…I came out of my way to be here. I will talk to you again 'Chelle." He said. Michelle could see happiness in his gaze before he left.
"Now I'm even happier that I came here." She said softly. "I can't believe I almost didn't. Now. Stories."
"Well…how about we start with when Seyann confirmed that she had Yashamaru's blood in her veins?" said Mika, thinking. Seyann rolled her eyes. "Don't remind me. I don't even call the bastard my father." Mika smiled. "Well what happened was…Gaara, for the longest time, didn't trust Seyann one iota because of …him. Finally…what happened was Seyann stormed to Suna and confronted him. After that…it took a little while and I helped but he trusts her now."
While they had been talking Hyuuga Neji had come and sat down at the Ramen bar a few chairs away from the three girls. Michelle glanced over at him in disgust before turning back to her friends. She noted smugly to herself that he had a bruise on his face, she could only assume from where she had slammed him into the wall.
Michelle laughed and said to Mika "Only your husband would be stubborn enough not to trust you based on who their father was." At the word father, Michelle eyeballed Mika's as of yet flat stomach. She saw the look that Michelle gave her and placed a hand on her belly. "Umm…I don't know how you found out…but yes…judging by the look you gave me you know that I am pregnant again." The two friends smiled and hugged their friend only to have a semi-sarcastic voice go "How sentimental." Michelle turned around and glanced behind her into Hyuuga's violet eyes…the one who had attacked her the previous day.
"Neji I don't believe you've been properly introduced to my friend Michelle. This is…" Michelle interrupted glaring at the Jounin. "Yes we've met." She said in a cold voice.Turning to Seyann and pointedly ignoring Neji, she breathed "That Jerk." She breathed "Attacked me at my house yesterday because he thought I had kidnapped your daughter."
Seyann narrowed her eyes and looked over at the Hyuuga. He had a kind of depressed/ thinking look on his face mixed with a bit of remorse when she had told Sey about the attack, which got Seyann to thinking.
They'd make a cute couple.
She hadn't gotten the chance to play matchmaker in years.
Later that night Michelle sat on the roof of the dorm that had been prepared for her…old habits die extremely hard. But she wasn't in a place that would be attacked…so she didn't have her guard up. However when the ANBU dropped onto the roof she was sort of prepared.
"I didn't think you were gonna come." She said with a smile on her face. "I said I would did I not?" said the ANBU in a quiet voice. He strolled over and sat down beside her. "So what do you want to talk about?" He asked.
She closed her obsidian eyes. "Everything. I'll tell you my own story…and you tell me yours."
She opened her eyes and gave him a smirk. "Just don't tell me your name…I like the mystery of it all."
They talked until the sun came up.
A/N-Hey! Hope you guys liked this chapter! I think I'm going to write a one-shot that shows the whole clash between Seyann and Gaara...not sure yet.
