Chapter 3
The Village Hidden in the Light
After a 4 day bus trip, Mayu and Team 7 finally reached the Hidden Light Village. Those it wasn't exactly a smooth trip. Of course Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke fought a lot. But they began to behave themselves after Mayu turned to them and said, "Don't make me come back there." There were a couple of nights where they had to sleep in tents at bus stations. Mayu and Sakura had no problems with the tent they shared, but the boys' tent was cramped. The girls were kept awake from all the auguring and cursing coming from the boys' tent. Then during the day they were all annoyed by Naruto always asking, "Are we there yet?" Eventually at one point all three Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke screamed, "Are we there yet!" Then the bus stopped. "Yes, we're finally here." said Mayu.
They were all glad to have finally arrived. Mayu felt the feelings a run away most likely feels after coming home. She was glad to be home, but was nervous about seeing everyone again after being gone for so long. Kakashi grabbed hold for her hand, and they all entered the village. As they made their way towards Mayu's house the Genin were looking around. This was their first time in another ninja village. At one they had to stop Naruto from running off because he saw a ramen stand. As Kakashi tried to hold on to Naruto, the group ran into a male ninja who appeared to be in his late forties.
"Tama-sensei!" said Mayu.
"Mayu, long time no see." Tama greeted her with a smile. Then he noticed her companions. "Who are your friends?" he asked.
Mayu introduced them, "This is my boyfriend Kakashi, and these are his students, Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto. Guys, this is Tama. He was my sensei when I was a genin."
"So you're Kakashi." said Tama with a smile. "Be good to Mayu or I'll hunt you down and kick your ass."
"That won't be necessary, Tama." said Mayu.
"I know." said Tama with a laugh. "Oh, by the way Lady Tsuyu needs to see you right away."
"I'll go right away." said Mayu. "Tama-sensei, could you do me a favor and show my friends to my house."
"Sure."
"Thanks, I'll meet you guys at my house." Mayu told her them as she left.
"If you see Yui and Keibo, make sure you say hi. They've been worried about you!" Tama called after her.
"I will!" she called back. So Tama took Team 7 to Mayu's house, telling them about all the crazy things Mayu did as a genin.
Mayu felt nervous as she entered the Kage's office. She hoped she wasn't in trouble. Then she remembered she had permission to leave the village. Even though she didn't reveal all the reasons why she wanted to travel. Once she entered the office, she knew she was fine since the kage greeted her with a smile.
"Mayu, it's good to see you again." said Lady Tsuyu.
"Yeah, you too." said Mayu to the elderly woman. "So, what's going on?"
"We need the help of all the Ninja in your clan. You know Twilight Forest right?"
"You mean the one rumored to be haunted?"
"Lately, many ninja that been scouting that area has not returned. Right now it's off limit to anyone. From what information we could gather, the disappearances seem to be the work of a demon. So we need the aid of the Kigaro clan, for you're the demon slaying techniques that have been pasted down for generations."
"I also brought some ninja from the Hidden Leaf Village to help." Mayu told the old woman.
"Good, we need all the help we can get. I just hope they don't end up on the list of those lost." said Lady Tsuyu. "I will let you know when find out more about the demon. Until then, spend some time with your family and friends."
"Thank you, Lady Tsuyu."
When Mayu got home, as soon as she opened the door, she said, "I'm home!" and she found her younger sister Kika giving Kakashi the third degree.
"What are your intentions with my sister?"
Both Kakashi and Mayu sweat dropped.
