Shiyomi called out in joy. "Look, Sato!! Its the village! Im so happy, I can finally meet the people who can help me!" Inwardly she flinched at the thought of regaining her memories although on the outside, she acted as happy as she could for Sato. She was positive that she didnt have him convinced though. Nothing got through him. Besides, its not like she didnt want to know what it was that was missing... its just that... whenever she thinks about it, whenever a flash of something crosses her mind, she felt like she would be suffocated in an ocean of tears. She was afraid of what could happen to make her so sad. She didnt want the pain, and so she fought against it.
Sato looked down at Shiyomi for a minute and felt the worry enter his mind. Although she was smiling, there was a tightness about her face that he couldnt ignore... "Shi-cha"
'"Sato!!!"
Sato looked up quickly and couldnt help but smile at the blonde haired ninja. "Naruto-sama. What are you doing here at this time? Your Hokage now right? Time to act like it!! Paperwork boy, paperwork!!" Naruto grimaced and he laughed. "Uh, hey Sato? Isnt this the girl that lost her memories?" Sato nodded and Shiyomi smiled shyly up at Naruto. "Its nice to meet you, Hokage-san." Naruto looked away. "Eh, call me Naruto. Hokage-san is for old people." He leaned in closer to her. "Do I look old to you?" She giggled a little and replied, "Of course not my Lord, but isnt it respect to call you by your title?" Naruto shrugged. "Even if I am Hokage, I am still Naruto. By the way, what do we call you?" She blushed, "Oh! Forgive me my lor I mean, Naruto-san. Sato calls me Shiyomi." Naruto smiled. "Shiyomi is a nice name. Shall we go?" "Of course my lord." replied Sato.

"Shiyomi, this is Neji Hyuuga-san and this is Hatake Kakashi-san. There is one other person, a Sasuke Uchiha-san but we hear that he is in the infirmary as of now, so these two will help us out." Sato smiled down confidently at Shiyomi. "These two are best suited to the kind of interrogation we plan to use." Shiyomi stared up at Sato with a frown. "And the other kind of interrogation? What happens then?" Sato looked uncomfortable. "Of course, since its you that kind of interrogation wont be necessary, so dont worry about it, ok Kitten?" Shiyomi's eyes went out of focus and she whispered in a strangled tone, "Torture. Just say it Sato. You mean torture." Without realizing it, she slipped into an unconcious memory of her past. She could see blood everywhere, and hanging up from nothing more than thorny vines was a middle sized figure. It had multiple cuts and bruises along its body and could no longer be distinguished as male or female, dead or alive, or even if it was human. Shiyomi fell to the floor, holding her head and screaming. When Sato touched her in his panic, she screamed out in terror and a wave of chakra washed over them and slammed them into the walls. Shiyomi slumped to the floor, out of strength. She let herself sink into the darkness where her memories could not go and stayed there.
"Shiyomi! Shiyomi!!" Sato crawled over to her and started to shake her. "That wont do any good." Said a medical nin, leaning against the wall where he fell. "She's fainted from whatever shock she's been through. All we can do is not move her around anymore, and wait for her to wake up on her own. We dont know what the psychological damage is yet, so please, keep your distance. Medical Nin, come! We have a patient." He stood up tenderly and was relieved to find he had no broken bones. "We shall take over from here." He waved to the group, and the medical nin started to lead them out to get treated. Sato didnt want to leave her side, but could find no excuse. So he left with the promise that he would return.
In the middle of the night Sato snuck into Shiyomi's room. He looked down at her peaceful face and could see no traces left of the terror of the night before. 'Why hasnt she woken up yet?" Just as that thought left his head her eyes opened and he was faced with their brilliant green again. He sighed in relief, until Shiyomi took one look at him and asked, "Who are you?"
