Here is the next installment of my story Crying Kit!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!
For what seemed like hours I floated in darknesss not quite awake but also not asleep. I was concious yet nothing from the outside world reached me as time passed on. It was peaceful the rage from earliers having dissapted now I only worried about what my team thought of me. How was I going to explain to them who I was? Would they even believe my story and be on my side? Or turn their backs to me like so many in the village had already done.
Kakashi I wasn't to worried about though. He was on my original team and technically I had never even lied to him. He knew me as my real name and my fake one. I had two of me that would never change sure Naruto at some point in the future might die but a part of him still lives inside me waiting for the next time I need a place to hide. He was my strength when Narumi though strong was the weakest part of me. She couldn't handle the ridicule of the village that every day Naruto endured. Which is why he would live even if the village came to accept Kyuubi.
A gentle pull down made me realize that Kyuubi my only friend to know both sides of me was trying to get my attention. I was suddenly in the room where I first the fox all those years ago. Before me Kyuubi stood in a human form whether male or female I could never tell so beautiful the form was.
"Hello Kit." Kyuubi said a sad tone in the foxes deep voice.
"Hey" I said back going to sit in the chair next to where the fox stood. "What's up?" I asked knowing that the fox wouldn't bring me here unless it was for something important. Sure the fact my team now knew my identity was somewhat important but definitely not enough to be brought back here.
"I have found something that is disturbing in your memories which needs to be addressed." Kyuubi said back and I was confused. What was there that could be so important in my memories? Kyuubi knew everything about my life from the very day I was born! surely if there was something important Kyuubi would of addressed it immediately.
I remained silent and after a few minutes Kyuubi went on. "Kit do you remember what day the funeral was for your team?" It was an odd question but I knew the answer oh so well.
"It was on August 5 about a week after they where killed." I answered back my confusion escallating as time went on.
"Kit on August 5 all you did was mope in you apartment there was no funeral." A cold feeling washed over me.
"But you where there!" I said back.
"No Kit do you remember me ever talking to you that day?"
I thought hard about the day etched so deeply into my memory and to my surprise not once had the demon spoken to me. "No." Was my answer. "But then what do you think happened that day?" I asked.
"Kit on that day around noon you had fallen asleep and suddenly woken up about 2 hours later crying about the funeral. I had believe that I fell asleep and missed the whole thing but just an hour ago I realized that a funeral for shinobi couldn't be less then 3 hours. Ninja have a special ceremony for their fallen and then adding in the actual burial there is no way you could of gone."
"What... What does that mean?" I asked as I felt my body beginning to wake. It was impossible for me to stay in here unless I was asleep so as my vision faded from the room I barley heard Kyuubis final words to me.
"Kit.. I think they might be alive." A feeling of disbelief washed over me as I awoke to an unfamiliar room.
"Sensei he.. she's awake!" I heard Sakura call as I awoke.
"Ahhh so sleepy head finally decided to wake up." I heard the lazy ninja say as I began to sit up. The room was a bright blue color that did nothing but increase the headache that was beginning to form. I groaned as I still had not a clue how to explain that their deadlast teammate was actually in ANBU. But then something more important flashed across my mind. Kyuubi's last words could they be true?
But then why would someone go through all that trouble just to fake a few ninjas death? Heck a 2/3 of them where genin so why? Suddenly an idea popped into my head that probably would wield no results but still I had to know.
"Kakashi what day was Kiyoshi's funeral?" I asked. Sure the person who did the genjustu probably got the dates correct but still it was worth a shot. Might as well cover all the bases first before jumping to conclusions. With Kakashi's almost unfailable memory about dates it would be an easy way to check.
He looked rather stunned at my question probably not expecting it from me when I had just been unmasked. After a moment of thought he gave me his answer. "Why it was August 6. I remember because that was the release of a new book I had wanted." My blood when I realized that something was very wrong. Suddenly I heard a scream in the back of my head.
"KIT! I finally got your attention something is most definitely wrong with you memory. I even the day of their death was a genjutsu.
"Why" I asked fearful for the answer.
"You did go out on your mission and yes you did get attacked but right before Zabuza's attack you memory is blank. It was almost not noticable but as I was keeping a close eye on it I realized you don't remember about 3 seconds before the man appeared."
My team was now all looking at me as I heard this news. Sure 3 seconds didin't seem like a lot but to a shinobi 3 seconds could be the difference between life and death. Why where we just learning of this now though? Why had it taken so long for Kyuubi to notice something so significant?
"I don't know why we didn't notice this before kit." Kyuubi answered back. "Though you probably want to answer your teammates they have been asking if you are alright for the past 5 minutes."
I quickly snapped back to myself and looked at my team. They looked worried and I probably would be to if my teammate had asked a question that was completely random then went off to lala land.
I put my hand behind my head and gave a nervous laugh as I tried to think of an explanaiton. Finally I just decided to tell them everything short of that I was watching Sasuke. So that is what I did.
I didn't tell them everything just how I discovered who I really was and how I came to meet Kyuubi. Sure Sakura and Sasuke didn't need to know that but still they would learn eventually and at least from me they got the correct information. The two of them looked rather stunned by the end of my explanation as for Kakashi I never could tell what he was thinking exactly.
As the two of them got up to digest the informatin I waited for them to be out of ear shot before addressing my old teammate turned sensei. "Kakashi is there any way we can open the graves of Kiyoshi and my old teammates?" I knew the question was weird but I just had to know and the only real way to was to see if the bodies where really in there.
Now the confusion was most priminent on Kakashi's face as he looked at me in horror. "What do you mean Narumi why would you want to see such a thing?" He asked his relaxd aura gone as he looked at me in question."
"Kakashi when I was unconsious Kyuubi told me some things did you know that in the time I believed the funeral to be all I had done was sleep? Kyuubi told me in the span of time he didn't remember it would of been impossible to do the funeral. Also there is a gap in my memories of the incident about 3 seconds before Zabuza showed up. How do you explain that even at that age I never forgot even a single moment. The only other thing other then a lapse in memory is genjutsu."
"But Narumi why would someone fake 3 peoples death? It makes no sense whatsoever." Kakashi answered back.
"I don't know but after this mission I will find out. Whatever is happening makes no sense but there has to be a reason for it."
We both then got up and went to Sakura and Sasuke to see how they where coping with the new information. What was ahead I didn't have a clue but something wasn't right and whatever it was I would find out. I never knew then that the information could not only cost me my life but the lives of everyone in Kohona.
YAY for plot twist. lol Sorry for how badly written it is but I wanted to get something out I am doing a full rewrite of this story cause I'm doing a lot of things differently then when I first started writing it will all be on this story I will just take out the original chapter and put in the new one. Hope no one is to confused!
