Chapter 7:
We arrived at the gate everyone was waiting. I looked around the crowd and noticed the person I was looking for. "Hina-chan hey." I was over to her.
"Hi Alexis-san , Sakura-san."
"Hina-chan please call me Lexi or Lex. I don't mind really."
"Okay Lexi-chan."
We walk over to everyone else. I notice they were glaring at us.
"Alright everyone is here, let's get going."
Time skip
We've been on the road for the last five hours. I was paired up with Saku's former team mate, sensei and the ducks annoying team. Saku and I get along with Jugo quite well actually. As the trip continued Jugo started acting weird. Then out of nowhere he tried to kill me.
I heard Suigetsu explaining that Jugo has these uncontrollable urges to kill and he's afraid of himself.
Sasuke and the others noticed my sudden change of composure. I jumped down from the tree I was in.
I slowly walked up to him.
"Jugo, hey it's okay there's nothing to be afraid of. You won't hurt me."
He attacked me and I dodged all of his attacks and I started to sing a song the Saku and Kaa-san used to calm me down when I lost control of my emotions.
Sasuke's POV:
Before I could even move to stop Jugo, Sakura's sister, ah what's her name? Alice, Alan, no Alex.. Alexi….Alexis, that's it Alexis. She starts singing.

When she finishes, I look over to Jugo. He's calm and surprised; I guess it's quite a surprise to find someone else that can calm you down.
"Wow, Alexis. You remember mom used to sing when you lost control."
What Alexis loses control of herself too?
"Yah, how could I not forget after all I sung it quite a bit on my travels."
Everyone comes back over, Karin and Suigetsu confused entirely.
"What. Just. HAPPENED?!" they both said simultaneously.
"Yes, I would like to know as well." Jugo said
"Well, Saku I guess we can tell them how I could stop Jugo."
"Yes, I guess we will but not right know maybe when we get back. First we finish the mission. Let's move." We all look at each other then continue on to the Akatsuki's base in the Land of Tea.
Sakura's POV:
"Hey, Saku?"
"Yah, Lexi."
"Do you think we'll come across them?"
"Maybe but who knows sis, who knows."
We continue to the Land of Tea.
Time Skip
We finally arrive at the Land of Tea. I remember when Alexis and I lived here with the guys. Haha good times, making bets with Kakuzu and Hidan, Tending the gardens with Zetsu, pulling pranks with Kaa-san and Tobi, teasing Deidara's girly appearance, creating puppets with Sasori, learn to use swords with Kisame, learning new jutsu's with Tou-san and hanging with Itachi. It's hard to believe they think we're dead. I mean Lexi and I thought they were dead till we saw Zetsu and found out that we were thought to be dead. That was the saddest day of our lives and only a week later Alexis left to grow stronger elsewhere. But we kept in contact.
Haha to think of how they all will react when they see that Lexi and I are alive.
We stop about four kilometres away from the base.
"Alright, we'll split into teams. I think that the teams should be the teams that you were in when you were genin and Alexis and team Taka can stay with Sasuke and Sakura. How does that sound?"
Oh Alexis is not going to agree with th..
"I am not being put on the same team as the duck, fox and the rotten tomato. I can deal with water boy, orange and Saku but not them, Scarecrow."
"You know you're very weird."
"And how am I weird exactly?"
"You give everyone nicknames."
"Yah, I call everyone nicknames cause if we run into an enemy then I can talk about people without the enemy knowing who I am talking about. Do you understand? Plus it's fun to call people names."
"Okay. Moving on, so no arguments about team arrangements? Good now the…"
"Actually Kakashi-sensei, I think it would be better if Alexis, Hinata and I were put on a team. Cause well I don't think anyone would want to be 'burdened' by our presence."
"Sakura, I'm sorry but we can't have that sorry. Please deal with the arrangements. Alright everyone, Team Asuma, head west. Team Kurenai, East. Team Gai, South and Team Kakashi and Taka, we'll head north. Now everyone don't. Get. Caught. Understand?"
Everyone nods. "Good now go."
Everyone heads their designated direction. "Alexis, you used to travel a lot right?"
"Yah why, scarecrow?"
"Well I was wondering if you have any idea where their base would be?"
"Kaka-baka, you were a member of the ANBU team that attacked the base here so shouldn't you know. Right Saku?"
"Yep." I said with pop on the'p'.
Kakashi's eye widens.
"Sensei if you're wondering how she knows that."
"Then you ain't gonna find out till who knows when." Alexis finishes my sentence. I look behind and see everyone quite surprised.
Alexis POV:
We continue the journey to the base, out of the corner of my eye, I see something grey. "Guys…" no answer. "Guys…" Still no answer. "GUYS!" I whisper/yell
"Alexis what is it?"
I point to the cliff. Kakashi looks in that direction hopefully that idiot can see what I saw. "Everyone this way."
We head in the direction of the cliff. We arrive but stay in the shadows. I'm crouching in between Sasuke and Sakura. I pull out my telescope to get a better look. What I saw brought tears to my eyes.
"Alexis, what's the matter?" Kakashi asks.
I give the scope to Sakura "Look at the grey stones."
She looks and by her reaction she knows why I'm tearing up.
What we saw were…
Our graves
