A/N I was so happy, we finally got a new computer, but it hates me and doesn't want me to use any of the word programs on it. Its evil and joining forces with everything else that has decided to start hating me!!
Gaara's POV
We headed inside. The classroom was just past the dining room. We sat down silently to wait for Kakashi, who would most likely be late, even though he was already in the building. Kakashi showed up five minutes late. He stepped into the classroom and looked up at the time. "And here I thought I was coming in early."
He walked over to an empty chair and sat down. "Someone please explain the book. Sakura, Ino, and Tenten, you can all grab your copy from the back of the classroom."
The girls grabbed their books and sat down. Temari then began to explain the book so far to them. "Its about a girl who was working in a café, when she met a man going to fight a creature called the Nine-tailed Fox Demon. The man was a ninja and was waiting for the rest of his team to arrive. After she finished work she talked to him. He asked if he could start writing to her, something about her made him feel relaxed, and it might help while he was gone. Right now we are learning about the fighting through his letters to her."
Sakura looked up, "I've read the story before."
I looked over at Kakashi, who had raised his head from his own book with a look of surprise in his eye. He looked back down at the book, before anyone other than I noticed. Sakura looked at the cover on the book, "The cover is different from the one I read, that cover looked so realistic that you could almost believe that they were taken in the middle of the actual fighting."
Kakashi stood up, "I'm sorry. I have an appointment that I forgot about, and I must get going. Read the next two chapters for tomorrow and we will discuss everything then."
He disappeared. Ino had a weird look on her face. I stood up, "Well, it seems Sakura got her hands on something."
I headed towards the door. I could hear Naruto yell at me, "What the hell do you mean??"
"Wait until we are back upstairs. The kids may over hear something."
I continued for the stairs that led to our floor. Upstairs I leaned against the wall next to Sakura's door. Sakura came up the stairs and opened the door to let me in. She walked over to her desk and pulled out a box. From inside she grabbed the copy of the book that she mentioned. I walked over to where she was standing. She had opened the front cover, inside was a message. Sakura, right now this may just be another book, but one day you will realize the true meaning of everything. On that day, I will be proud of you, for that is the day you learn everything. -Mom. Her shoulders shook slightly. "I get it now. I always thought she was referring to the love in the story. Never the ninja's, never the fighting. I always assumed it she was referring to the love aspect of the story. Our city, on the outside looks normal, but is actual a ninja society."
I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her back into me. I turned my head when the door opened to see Temari's head, with Neji behind her. She pulled the door close. I could her Neji protesting her leaving me and Sakura alone. I was right he did like her.
I let go of my grip on Sakura and moved so I was standing in front of her. I took the book out of her hands and placed in back in the box. Closing it I stuck the entire thing back in her desk. I took the edge of my sleeve and used it to wipe the tears off her face. "Come on Sakura we are going out for a bit."
She looked up at me and smiled slightly. "There is one place I want to go."
Kakasih's POV
As soon as I heard that Sakura had read the book before she came to the orphanage I left immediately. We had to get special permission to let the kids in the orphanage to read the books before they fully became part of society. It was a known fact that once one entered the orphanage, strange facts about why would spread among children and teenagers to keep them away. The education of those in the orphanage was different than one who grew up in a normal school. Being cut off from society was one of the main reasons why this was allowed. The only problem now is the three girls who had just come here. They would bring questions with them, and the rest may have a few answers.
I stopped outside of Tsunade's office, knocking on the door. I waited for her to call me in before entering. "Kakashi, it's a surprise to see you here. Is there trouble at the orphanage?"
"It may be something or it may be nothing. But it seems that Sakura has read more than the average teenager."
She would know what I was talking about. "How far do you think it has gotten?"
"Influence over the others. Getting them to help her. I don't think they have figured out everything yet, but they are working on it. And it won't be easy to stop them until the get answers."
"It seems that we must do something about this then."
I nodded before leaving, knowing that when Tsunade came up with something, she would send word along through Shizune, who came to the orphanage as a nurse whenever someone was sick.
A/N I was listening to Travelling Soldier by the Dixie Chicks, and it inspired the idea for the story, since I needed a ninja based story with the history, and it fit so well.
Please review and look for the next chapter.
