"Regular talking"

'Flashbacks'

As a bowl of black Gyoza was laid before my eyes by a blue haired girl I couldn't help but frown. My nose wrinkled as I caught a whiff of smoke. How do you burn dumplings?

Everyone was watching for my reaction to the 'food'. The holes burning in the back of my neck indicated that well enough.

Sighing I pushed the bowl away. Didn't these people know how to cook?

My eyes narrowed as Genkai chuckled.

"What's so funny?" I ground out.

"Calm down Girl." she said walking toward me. "We understand if Yukina's cooking isn't… in your taste."

Looking to the girl bowed sadly made me feel like a demon for pushing away her food. But I really didn't want to eat something burnt.

"Yukina" I said genteelly "If you don't mind I'll show you how to cook Gyoza."

She stared at me a moment before a genteel smile graced her features. "Okay"

A hand covered my shoulder. Tracing it back to it's owner I saw Re-Kurama and I felt my heart do the marathon.

"I'll help"

Oooooooo

Freezing cold water washed over my hand as I cleansed them of any germs. Then drying them on a small towel I started on the first steps to cooking the dumplings. My hand drifted subconsciously over the ingredients I'd pulled out while my mind was elsewhere.

"Sakura teach me how to make Gyoza." Naruto grinned sheepishly to a thirteen year old me.

I watched Kurama wash the cabbage with water before taking to my own work.

"Ahh! Hot! Hot! "

The younger me sighs as Naruto spilled the hot water and the stove went up in flames.

He chopped the cabbage chives and shrimp while I stuck it in the cut out dough.

She giggles as a flour covered boy peeked out from under the dough ball over his eyes.

He and I pinched together the dough into a then stuck them in the pan to fry.

A smile curved the younger me's lips as she wiped the flour off her blond teammate

Placing the plate full of Gyoza on the table I turned to the girl by my side "And that's how you make it"

Chiyo jumped to the table cocking her head at the new food. She was first to try the food. bitting into a dumpling she then gulped it down yipping happily.

The tiny girl released a breath she seemed to be holding then turning to me she beamed bowing "Oh thank you …"

But I barely heard her as I was still watching Chiyo.

"Thanks Sakura!" Naruto beamed biting into a slightly burned dumpling. "You're the best"

What was wrong with me?

My sight dropped to the ground where Chiyo now was.

"Is something wrong?"

The worriedness of their tone drew my gaze into warm emerald eyes.

"No." I didn't need anyone's pity. Espescially not from any stranger "I'm going to the bathroom" Turning down the opposite way I walked down the hall with the kit nipping at my heels.

Genkai called after me "You don't know where it is"

"I'll find it"

Oooooooooooo

After what seems like forever I had finally found the restroom. It was a small space with only a sink toilet and mirror.

Chiyo sat on the toilet while I activated my chakra and healed my arm with my other hand.

Where in Kami's name was I? How did I get here? Where was Kohana? Mom, Dad, Kakashi, Sai, and Naru...Naruto. What happened to them?

Suddenly Chiyo's yipping caught my attention. My eyes follow her line of sight to... an open window!

I flexed my broken arm making sure it healed properly before snatching up the kit and jumping through the window then to the ground. Glancing over my shoulder one last time at the bulding, a shrine, I leapt into to the nearst tree.

Though I wasn't sure where I was heading I knew one thing. If I was ever to get home I had to find the one who did this.
