"I don't want to believe it," said a figure standing in a small town, he wore a mask which indicated he was a tracker nin, his hair pulled up tie in bun as two fangs hand down to his shoulder, he removed the mask, it was Haku.

People were saying of a girl who joined akatsuki age four-teen. Haku kept quiet, not wanting to believe. "But I do believe that Arienne is alive." Haku stopped a the gates of the mist village, ready to take off on his search.

Shikamaru Nara sit on a bench with two others, Choji and Ino. "The Neji guy is always talking to himself, something must be bothering him," Said Shikamaru rather bored. "He was fine since a few days. I hardly know the guy, but for someone talking to themselves? I mean, come on!" Ino added, her blonde hair was up of course, Choji said nothing as he sat there quietly, munching on potatoe chips. "I bet it's a girl, maybe he's in love." Ino spoke again, "Who? Tenten?" Choji only asked, Shikamaru only listened. "Possible." He said boredly. "What are you all talking about?" asked Neji for he focused on them, appearing nearby. "Oh nothing." Ino laughed playfully, yet nervously.

Neji pondered for a moment, still no signs of the girl he saw twelve years ago. "Someone you looking for?" Asked Ino, "Yes, a girl..she has white hair, her eyes are like snow.." Neji only described, thus wouldn't help. "You don't know her name?" Shikamaru asked, he was interested for he knew Neji wasn't talking about Tenten.

"If you see her, get her full name and rank." Neji took off searching.

Twelve years of searching, you would think he would by now know she wasn't in the land of fire, nor leaf village. Neji never wanted to give up, he wanted her.
