1st POV
Darkness, it's all that I can see. I can feel a breeze coming from somewhere and it makes me shiver. I hear the rustling of cloth and suddenly I'm warm again. (What happened to me?) the last thing I remember is coming home to my angry father, the argument, then him hitting me, after that I'm blank. I can sort of remember falling but if I fell shouldn't I be dead? Maybe I am, and this is my hell. Oh god!, what about Kendra? Is she alright? I promised her I would never leave her. I feel like crying now. I want to know if she's okay. My little sister can only take so much. I can feel the darkness taking hold of me again.
Sakura's POV
I'm worried. She hasn't woken up, and it's been two weeks since we found her during that crazy mission. I stare out the window and hope she'll be awake soon. I've been here watching her the whole time. I bring fresh flowers every day, Ino must think I'm crazy for buying so many. I make sure she's not too hot or too cold. Kakashi has only visited once, well at least that I know of. When he came to the room he was quite surprised to see me still here. As he looked at her I noticed something different, his eyes were giving away an emotion I couldn't quite place. I think it was longing, but when I looked again he quickly hid it.
I'm 100% positive that he's here whenever someone's not in the room. I barely sleep, Naruto comes and drags me away from the room every day so I can eat and train with them. Afterwards, I always go back to sit next to her. I don't know why I stay here, watching over her. I feel as if I know her somehow. I want to protect her, and she has this aura that radiates protection, like she would do anything to make sure the people she loves stay safe. I wish that she would wake up so I could ask her all of the questions that have popped into my head since we found her. There's so many things I'm unsure of right now. About a month ago my world was turned upside down.
My friends have noticed the change, especially since I'm not fawning over Sauske anymore. I never actually had a crush in him, just a sisterly affection. "SAKURA-CHAN!" (oh great Naruto's here) Wait a second, my eyes widened slightly. (What's he doing here? Training was over two hours ago) "Hey forehead" (Ino too? What the hell is going on?) I looked up, sure enough Naruto was here and he had dragged all of the Rookie Nine with him plus Team Gai. "What are you doing here?" I was so confused "Come on forehead, we know something is up with you lately and we're all worried" NO way was I going to tell them why I was acting so different lately. None of them have even noticed that I've gotten stronger and quicker in my fighting and jutsu's. I've finally gotten my act together, and I train more than any of them do.
Of course I'm not going to tell them that. "I'm fine pig" "Why do you keep buying flowers from the shop" I blinked a couple times (is she that dense?) I point towards the girl in the hospital bed. "They're for her" they moved around so they could fit comfortably in the room and see her better. I didn't bother explaining who she was cause word travels like a forest fire in this village. "Why are you staying here with her?" (WOW, Hinata didn't stutter). Everyone in the room looked at her amazed, and she quickly turned a bright shade of red. "I really don't know, I just have this feeling to protect her and make sure she's alright" "You do realize you don't have to waste your time with this right?" (yup she's definitely dense) "I know that pig!" "HEY" An argument quickly broke out between us and when it did something strange happened.
1st POV
I kept going in and out, It was starting to really bug me. I wanted to wake up so badly. Someone was keeping an eye on me, that much I could tell. Suddenly the door burst open "SAKURA-CHAN!" I could feel the person next to me tense up. "Hey forehead" (well that's rude to say to someone) now I could sense the persons confusion along with eleven other people. I started to feel crowded. They kept questioning this person next to me. She called someone a name and a fight broke out between them. I could tell they weren't truly upset with each other, just a rivalry. It kind of reminded me of Kend and I. I miss her. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, they just kept getting louder and louder. (THAT'S IT!)
I bolted straight into a sitting position and my eyes opened to a pink-haired girl with green eyes and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl. I could tell everyone was shocked that I woke so quickly. I yelled "WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP!" they immediately went quiet and stared. "thank you" I sat back against the pillows with a sigh and watched them all carefully. It was the pink-haired girl who spoke first "are you alright?" I nodded my head "just a little groggy, you stayed with me this entire time didn't you?" She nodded her head, I could see a million questions floating in her vibrant green eyes. I had questions of my own as well. This girl looked about the same age as my sister, they all did, twelve or thirteen years old. Suddenly a loud voice interrupted my thoughts. "WHO ARE YOU?!" his voice hurt my head and my ears. "Maybe if you could keep your voice down I'd tell you" I replied coolly. I heard a couple of the kids choke on their laughter. One had red stripes on both of his cheeks and was holding a dog, the other was a white-eyed kid who seemed like he had a heart of ice.
The girls were giggling, one had two buns in her hair and seemed like a tom-boy, another was a girl with blue-black hair and white eyes just like the boy (related?) and the last one was the blond-haired blue-eyed girl. One boy with, what looked like to me, duck butt hair, he had a smirk on his face, one boy was too busy eating, one looked bored out of his mind, there was a weird kid wearing a green jumpsuit, and the last one was hiding behind his coat and sunglasses.
The loud one was shocked at first but quickly got over it and started pouting. "I'm Sakura and the loud one is Naruto" she then proceeded to introduce everyone. There was Sauske (emo jerk), Hinata (cute girl, kinda shy), Ino (should be fun messing with her head), Shino (quiet kid), Chouji (eats a lot), Kiba (seems like a prankster), Shikamaru (genius type, bored easily, lazy), Rock Lee (what's with the green jumpsuit?), Tenten (tom-boy), Neji ( kinda stoic, shouldn't be too hard to crack). "So what's your name?" asked Sakura "My name is………..
Kakashi's POV
It's been two weeks since I first found her. I visit whenever Sakura isn't there. It's strange, I want to protect this strange girl even though I have no clue who she is. (seeing her beaten and bruised like that) my grip on the cup unintentionally tightened. I was sitting in the bar with my friends, Asuma, Kurenai, Gai, Anko, and Genma. "What's up with you Kakashi? You keep staring off into space" Genma. Of course always has to know what's going on. Everyone else has turned their attention to me, they want to know as well.
"It's the girl I brought back from that mission I had with my team two weeks ago" they of course knew what I was talking about, word sure does travel fast. "What about her?" Kurenai always sounds concerned. "it's just not possible for someone to fall out of the sky like that", I started and everyone nodded following what I was saying closely. This girl is quite a mystery. "For some reason seeing her broken and bruised like that made me so angry" (OK, I think the alcohol's talking cause I NEVER open up like this) it's not the alcohol, I've only had one cup and I barely even touched it.
"That's strange" "What is Anko?" "Kakashi, you never open up and you've barely touched your drink. Maybe you have feelings for this mystery girl" (Not possible, she's been in a coma this entire time. Although every time I see her my heart quickens. My dark angel) "THE FLOWERS OF YOUTH HAVE BLESSED YOU, MY ETERNAL RIVAL!" (why does Gai have to be so loud?) 'feelings for a girl I don't know at all? Plus the fact she's in a coma" " I think you do have feelings for her, I've heard of things like this happening before" Asuma finally spoke up. "Maybe" I said warily. Kurenai suddenly perked up "Hey, it's a nice day. Why don't we take our teams out for a hike?" "YES!" shouted Gai (how can he be so upbeat?) "We have to find them first". We left Anko and Genma behind at the bar and headed out in search of our teams. None of them could be found outside anywhere or in any of the food places. "Why don't we check the hospital?" Kurenai suggested, we agreed and headed there.
The nurse at the desk told us she had seen a group of kids headed to the mystery girls room, Naruto leading the way. (go figure) once we made it outside the room we paused. Sakura and Ino were arguing with each other, which was normal, until a voice we had never heard before broke up the fight. "WOULD YOU TWO SHUT THE HELL UP!" silence "thank you" it was quiet for several moments before Sakura started a conversation with the person. "WHO ARE YOU?!" Naruto, "maybe if you kept your voice down I'd tell you" we all chuckled at this and we could hear choked laughter and giggling. Sakura proceeded to introduce everyone and then asked for the person's name. My breath caught in my throat waiting for the answer.
I knew this was the girl I had found, I was glad she was finally awake. "My name is…." And that's when Gai burst into the room scaring everyone in the room half to death. The mystery girl didn't seem fazed at all though. Asuma, Kurenai, and I walked into the room behind Gai. I could tell the girl wasn't happy with more people being in the room. "FLOWERS OF YOUTH, WE MUST HIKE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WEATHER!" they stared for a moment then most of them started to protest. Sakura had moved to sit next to the girl. We told them they had no choice in the matter, and they quickly shut up. "what's your name?" I could hear Sakura ask. Everyone went quiet. She turned to look at Sakura then replied "My name is Haileigh" I stilled, I finally knew her name and what she sounded like.
She was pretty, short spiky black hair, blue-grey eyes that held a certain spark in them, she looked to be about 5'4", she was definitely different from most of the women I've met. I could tell she had a fiery spirit and caring as well. Sakura stood up and said she was going to get a nurse, but before she could a nurse came in. "All of you need to leave the room now!" we quickly left knowing Tsunade would be here soon because she was awake. I took one last look at her and when I did she caught my eyes. It felt like she could see every thought inside my head, she smiled and tilted her head slightly. I take it back, she's not pretty she's absolutely beautiful, especially when she smiles like that. I ran into the door and heard her giggle a little bit. I shook my head and quickly left.
Haileigh's POV
I was just about to tell them my name when an older man with a bowl haircut and wearing a green jumpsuit shouting something. Scared all of them half to death but it didn't really faze me. Three others followed him into the room. Two men and a woman. (More people, great, just what I needed) my eye twitched a little. The silver haired man could tell I wasn't happy. (How old is this guy?) he grabbed my attention extremely fast. The loud man was saying something about a hike and the kids were protesting, they were told they had no choice and they shut up quickly. Sakura came over and sat next to me. "What's your name?" she asked softly. I looked at her and could see that she really wanted to know. "My name is Haileigh" Sakura smiled and was about to go get a nurse when one burst into the room saying everyone needed to leave. (thank you!) the silver haired man was watching me the whole time. I could feel a blush rising but I kicked it down.
As he left he took one last look at me and I caught his gaze. I could see right into his soul, this had never happened before. He quickly looked away and ran into the door, I giggled a little bit and he left quickly. (I think the poor guy was embarrassed) He didn't seem like the type to openly show his emotions. I was brought out of my thoughts when the nurse started to do routine things. When she finished she said that Lady Tsunade (who's that?) would be coming to talk to me. I nodded and quietly waited. A tall blonde haired woman with a big chest walked in. She definitely looked in charge. "Hello, I'm Tsunade, the Hokage of this village" (hokage?) "I'm going to ask a few questions alright" I nodded my head.
"What's your name?" "Haileigh" I responded quickly. She wrote it down and I quickly told her how to spell it "my name is spelled h-a-i-l-e-i-g-h" "you know I've never met anyone with the name Haileigh before" "back at home I know seven different Hailey's, I'm the only one with a unique spelling" she smiled a little at this "Where are you from?" "Wisconsin" she looked at me funny but wrote it down. "do you remember what happened and how you got here?" "well I got home from school and was surprised that my dad was there, I live with my mom and step-dad, he was there to talk to me and talking turned into fighting and yelling. The bastard hit me and started beating me up. I remember seeing a dark whole and falling, after that it's all blank. How long have I been out?" she sighed "two weeks"
I stared at her for a moment. "You're joking right?" she shook her head "Where am i?" "you're in Konahoa" "…………" "village hidden in the leaves""……………""you've never heard of any of the hidden villages before?" I shook my head "I've lived in Wisconsin all my life, that must mean I'm in a different dimension" Tsunade thought for a moment "I'll look into it and when I find something I'll let you know immediately" I nodded. (Kendra) "Get some rest" I nodded and she left. (So now what am I supposed to do?)
