Change of plans, I'm putting up the World of Forgotten Shinobi Christmas special later on, some time during Christmas or something. I might put it up as a separate story but for now, its back to the original time line. Oh yeah, by the way Koto is in a library in the beginning of this chapter. I'm really not sure how the libraries in Japan are organized so I'm just guessing.

"GoddamnitwhydoesithavetobesohardjusttofindKonoha…" Koto grumbled under his breath. He put down the fiftieth map and pulled out another random map out of the pile.

'How long are you gonna take?'

'As long as it takes to find the location…' he through the map behind his back and picked up the last map (1), '(sighs) and I pick another worthless map…'

"So, how's it going so far?" a lady entered the room and closed the door behind her, "Did you find what you were looking for?"

"No…" he muttered under his breath and started to gather up all the maps.

"By the way, if you need any help you could always ask me. I know a lot of books on Japan that might help you," the librarian offered.

"That's ok, I don't really need to find it right away," he put the maps in the self that was marked 'Maps of Japan' (in Japanese of course).

"What are you looking for again?"

"The location of this old village…" he picked up all his belongings and headed for the door. "I might come back tomorrow to do some more research." The librarian pulled him back.

"Shouldn't you be in school right now?"

"Teachers have to do something, I think they went to a convention or something," he quickly lied and rushed out of the library before the librarian could ask him more questions.

'I hate it when I have to lie…'

'Get used to it; you'll have to lie a lot more than you think. Besides, you can't just go around saying that you're looking for the reincarnation of Sakura and Sasuke.'

'I guess you have a po-' Koto was about to cross the street when a speeding car being chased by police cars came skidding towards him. People around him were running out of the way, he would have done the same thing if only his feet weren't rooted to the ground.

He watched as the car came closer with each second that went by, ten inches, seven inches, five, three…

SCREECH, bam…

Koto…Koto…? Koto!!

…

Koto! Come on! Wake up!

Five more minutes…

Koto! Koto!

Huh?

He slowly opened his eyes; he was in a room that was painted white. He moved his hand in front of his face, 'What happened?'

"Ah, you're awake." Koto turned his attention to the person at the door way, there was a female doctor by the door along with a female police officer (2).

'Great…what now?' the doctor came over and pulled out a chair that was hidden behind the table beside the bed.

"So how are you feeling?"

"What happened…?" he made an attempt to sit up and was unsuccessful when pain shot out throughout his body.

"You shouldn't move," the doctor looked at her clipboard and flipped through a few pages. "Surprisingly you didn't break any bones, but you'll have to stay in the hospital for a little while."

"And while you're here, I'll ask you a few questions and in a few days you'll be back home, where you're supposed to be," the police officer moved from her spot at the doorway and pulled out another chair.

'Damn it…looks like I'll have to get out of here A.S.A.P…'

"Before you ask any questions, can you tell me what happened?" he asked, hoping to stall some time so that he could think up of more lies to say. The police officer gave him a strange look.

"You don't remember?"

"All I remember is seeing that car about to run me down." she leaned back in her chair and sighed.

"Well, it's kind of hard to explain…" (3) While she explained, Koto's face grew paler and paler. When she was finally finished, his face was almost as white as chalk and there was also a shocked expression stuck on his face.

'Did I really do all that?'

"Since I'm done explaining…it's your turn to explain why you're all the way here," she crossed her arms and stared at him. 'I was hopping that she'll forget…'

"How did you get here? Why did you run away from home? Why are you here?" the questions kept coming one after another. Koto ended up just listening to her, 'Gaki, make her shut up…'

"Ano…" "Do you know how much we've gone through just to find you? I'll…" Koto sweat dropped as she went on and on. 'I think that the only time that she'll stop is when she dies from talking too much…'

'It'll be better if I just end her misery on the spot…' 'Nani?' 'Nothing.'

"So what do you have to say about this?" she looked (more like glared at him), waiting for an explanation.

"Ano…"

Gomenasai for the long wait, I was planning to post up the Christmas special but changed my mind. This chapter had to be short because I still haven't been able to start on the other chapters yet. I'll try to update as fast as I can…

(1)…All I have to say is that Koto can look through things faster than I can…

(2)Didn't know what to call her, so I just chose to call her 'the police officer'

(3)…I'd give a long explanation of what happened, but I'm too lazy. To summarize it all, Koto jumped ten feet into the air, landed on the hood of the car that could have killed him, startled the driver, got the car to stop, then something happened that I can't explain and then we're back at the point where Koto wakes up.
