I woke up in a white room with a slight headache. I sat up a little too quickly and my head pounded. I guess I was in a hospital from what I saw between winces. The window was open and a stick flew in and smacked my arm before falling in my lap.
"Ow?" My confused cry of pain sounded as I looked at the red mark on my arm and then at the stick.
"Sorry, I told those kids not to play with those things near open windows." An annoyed girl told me, climbing in said window.
"Uh, okay?" I replied, still utterly confused as I handed her the stick.
She had purple hair, brown eyes and looked like she was about seventeen. She was smiling and seemed friendly. Suddenly, she looked at me closely with a concentrated and curious expression.
"Hey, aren't you the new kid? Your chakra…It's suppressed." She pursed her lips, seeming to have a sense for something I didn't. "Chakra" was a little familiar, but I didn't really know what it meant.
"Uh?"
"Hey, do you know any taijutsu?"
I shook my head.
"What about ninjutsu?"
I shook my head again.
"Genjutsu?"
"No."
"Are you even a shinobi?"
I looked at her strangely. "I don't remember."
"You don't remember?" She frowned, throwing the stick out the window, then snapped her fingers and looked like she got an idea. "How about I retrain you?"
"Uh, okay?"
"How far can you run?"
"Not far." I said, slightly disappointed in myself and lack of stamina.
"One mile." She stated, nodding. "One mile everyday this week. Next week its two."
"What? Why?" I gaped at her.
"Because you need to get in better shape before I teach you taijutsu." She said, crossing her arms. "You can call me Naomi sensei, okay? What's your name?"
I had to think about it for a minute until a name came to mind that I just assumed was mine. "Luna." It sounded right, at least. It'll have to do for now even if it isn't my name.
"Cool, well, let's get you some food and we can talk, then we can do some running."
"Why do we have to run?"
"Shinobi need a lot of stamina for missions that are far away. You should know this stuff, you know." She gave a sigh. "We have a lot of work to do."
"Oh. So, you'll tell me all the stuff I need to know, right?"
"Yeah, I sure will." She ruffled my hair with an excited grin.
Three hours later, I was laying on the grass of the training field, panting and coughing. Everything hurt, especially breathing. Naomi was running circles around me and laughing. I wanted to glare at her, but all my body wanted to do was struggle to breathe normally and close my eyes. I would gratefully welcome sleep if Naomi let me. Of course she didn't. Of course she tried to get me up to train more. I think she might actually be trying to kill me via exhaustion. Whether she wanted me to train more or not, I still collapsed into a dreamless sleep soon enough.
A/N: Still introductory chapters. By the way, Kenia, we'll see what happens, okay? Though, they probably won't be more than implications if at all. Sorry for the inconvenience.
