me- Anyway... On with the story!!
When you finished speaking the hokage smiled at you. The kind gesture confused you. "It seems that you are very talented Mika." You stare at him is shock. "You're no the only one who has had this power. I've heard of someone like you that lived many years ago. He had the power of many animals The problem was this power was coveted. He was killed. Apparently you now have the same powers." He stops and looks at you. As if he was expecting a reply. You wanted to speak, but for some reason you just couldn't think of anything. Sensing this, he begins to speak again. "Because you have such potential to be powerful, I believe you should learn how to use that power. To do so you would need to remain here though. This is your choice but I unfortunately don't know how to take you back. What do you wish to do?"
You take a moment to register his words. You think about your crappy life and how you've always wished for something just a little bit more. This could be it. What you were always looking for. You make your decision.
"I'm going to stay." You tell him. "Excellent." He says smiling. "Now if you can, I would like to see what you can do. After you will go with Kakashi and be placed on a team." You nod. "Ok then. Now try to use the power.
"Um.. Kaya? Ai?" You think. "Yes?" Kaya responds. "Cool. I got a response." you think. "Um.. Can you help me use your power?" "Sure."
Your body glows slightly. You feel yourself grow fangs and claws. Behind you a cat tail grows. The hokage watched as you allowed the power to form. You swished your tail happily. You test out your limbs to find that they were much lighter and more maneuverable. You decide to attempt something. Putting one leg in front of you and the other behind you preform a split. Then giggling at the accomplishment, you stood up and allowed yourself to return to normal.
The hokage smiles. "Very good. Kakashi?" He looks up from his book. "Does he ever put that thing down?" you say to yourself. "Take Mika to the training field. I would like her to learn how to fight and control her power." "Hai hokage-sama." He dismissed you. You leave with Kakashi. As you follow him, you spot that girl named Hinata. She was hiding behind a large pillar ans was watching a boy in an orange jumpsuit. "Hey Hinata!!" you call out. She jumps then sees you. She walks over to you. " Hey Mika-chan. Are you feeling better?" "Yeah. Thanks. Who were you watching?" She blushes. "Well... I... umm... I was just..." You laugh cutting her off. "It's alright. I won't tell. What's his name?" "Umm... Naruto." she says blushing even redder. "Naruto huh?" You watch him for a moment. As you watch you suddenly feel as odd tugging sensation. It was coming from the end of the village. "Sorry Hinata. I have to go." You run in the direction of the strange pull. "What is it Kaya?" You ask as you run. "A hawk or bird of some kind. It's one of us." When you reach the end of the village you notice that Kakasi was gone. "Oh well." you think. "Now... Where is that animal?" You search the area. Finally you spot it. It's up in a tree. "Help me Ai." you think. With catlike reflexes you jump on branches until you reach it. You grab at it . Instead of you coming into contact with it it just absorbs into your hand. You feel a burst. of energy like the one that occurred with Kaya and Ai. Then you hear a voice speak to you. "So you're Mika?" Because you were getting used to the energy you stupidly answered out loud. "Yes." "Well I am the hawk. By using me you gain excellent vision. "You're not going to be difficult?" you ask, making sure you didn't say it out loud. It laughed. Or at least, made a noise that sounded like a laugh. "No I'm not." You finally feel the burst of energy fade. "Well, there's another one." And with that, you turn and walk back to the village to find Kakashi.
As you walk though the village you spot a ramen shop. You have not ate anything in forever. It looks delicious but you don't have any money. You stop for a minute. "How the hell am I supposed to get food in this place." You say to yourself. Suddenly a voice interrupts your thoughts. "Hey! You looking to get something at Ichiraku's?" You look at him. "No. I don't have any money." "Well how about I treat you?" He says with a smile on his face. "Really?" you ask surprised. People were never this friendly in your town. "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Well... ok." "Hey aren't you Naruto?" "Yeah. Why?" "Oh nothing." You smile thinking about Hinata. "My name is Mika." "Ok. Cool."
As you eat you talk about his team and the village. He's teamed with Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha. He tells you about all of the other genin too. You recognize Hinata, Kiba, and Shino. "What about you?" he asks after he finishes talking. "Well... I"d rather not talk about it but let's just say I wasn't the happiest person." "Oh ok. You don't have to tell me." he says with a friendly smile. You return the smile, happy that he wasn't pushing the issue.
After you finish the ramen you thank him. "I promise that I'll pay you back as soon as I can." You turn to leave. "Don't worry about it. It's only right to help someone out." You smile. "Thanks Naruto." "Don't mention it." He says grinning. He was kind of loud but he was really nice. You smile again.
As you walk you spot many different people that look like the people Naruto described. You spot a boy in green spandex. You think his name is Lee. You also spot a chubby boy with a bag of chips in his hand. Choji something. You then spot Kiba and Shino. "Hey!" You call to them. They look. Kiba runs over while Shino calmly walks behind him. "Are you feeling better now?" Shino asks. "Yeah. Much better." "Well that's good." Kiba says. The little dog on his head barks in agreement. Kiba chuckles. "Akamaru thinks so too." You laugh and rub Akamaru on the head. He jumps happily into your arms. "You can understand him?" You ask curiously. "Yeah. It's a family thing. Apparently his family involves ninja hounds. Shino's family was made up of bug specialists. They both spend some time telling you about their families. They were both really cool so before you knew it, it was starting to get dark.
"Oh crap! I have to go see Kakashi." You give Akamaru back to Kiba and tell them goodbye. You run through the village looking for him. After about a half hour you give up. "The village is too big. There's no way I'm going to find him." You rest against a tree.
Suddenly you have an idea. "Hawk?" "Yes Mika?" "I need to find someone. Give me your power. You too Ai." Your vision sharpens. It's amazing. You jump up a building and scan the village.You easily spot him. He's sitting above the large mountains with the faces on it. According to Naruto it was the faces of the old Hokage. You quickly use Kaya and Ai'spowertoget to him. He looks up from his book. "Congratulations. You pass." He looks like he's smiling but because of the mask you can't tell. "That was a test?" you sigh. He laughs. "I see you've met some of our young shinobi." "Yeah. They're pretty nice." You sit down. "It's very different from home. But I don't really miss it. I like it here. It's... happier than my home." For a moment you don't talk. "Hey Kakashi?" He looks at you. "Will I become a shinobi too." you ask. "Yes. For now, i will train you." "Thanks." You get up and turn to leave but then realize something. "Kakash? Where am I going to stay?" "Oh, arrangements have already been made."
You end up staying with an old woman named Chiyo. She is very motherly and is happy to have you.
A few months pass and you learn the ways of the shinobi. You graduate the academy with high marks. You're not the best with chakra control but you manage. Since then you have found two new animals. A bear and a mouse. You get strength from the bear and the ability to hide and somewhat detect enemies with the mouse. The mouse power wasn't the best but it was another power none the less. Neither of them were any trouble. They listen to you and do what you say. For some reason you never hear the voices you used to. You only hear the animals now. Odd but you weren't complaining. You also started have that weird sandstorm dream more often. (a/n. if you don't remember the dream refer to chapter 1. ) You wish you knew what it meant. (a/n. also when I say hide. i mean it's easier to find places to hide.)
One day during training Kakashi tells you that the chunin exams are coming up. "I think you should join a team and take the exam." he says as he dodges an attack. "Really?" You say attacking again. "Yes. I believe it will be a good opportunity for you." He says dodging again. "Cool. I'll be able to see how much I've learned." You say finally landing a blow on him. "I'll do it." After training, you decide to take a walk around the village. It's a nice day and you enjoy the warmth. As you walk you spot three unfamiliar faces. One was a guy wearing purple face paint. He had something wrapped up on his back. The next was a girl. She was carrying a giant fan. The last was another guy. he looked as young as you. He had a giant gourd on his back and had the kanji symbol for love on his forehead. He had messy red hair. You were now curious about the strangers. They were definitely shinobi but from where. "Mouse. Ai." You say to yourself. Immediately they give you their power. You creep closer. The red head is standing not doing anything while the other two are talking to each other. You creep even closer and hide in the bushes. Now you're about 10 feet away from them. Because you were watching them you forgot to pay attention to the area around you.
Suddenly, you feel something on top of you. Sand. It wraps around you. "Crap!" You struggle but its hopeless, even with the bears streangth. "Gaara stop it!! You hear the girl yell.
