I walked around the village, smiling to those I passed. It felt right to be back- be here, where I knew I was loved. Even though I had lost Sandaime, I still had Kakashi, Asuma, Kira, Rara, Rin, Calael, and everyone else that cared about me. Sadly, when I saw Rara with Neji- or Calael with Shino- I felt a twinge of jealousy. My heart ached- and I would find myself thinking of either Kabuto, my first love, or Deidara, my second love. Then I would remember the things that they had done: Kabuto had helped in taking Sandaime from me- and he assisted my evil father, Orochimaru. Deidara was an S class criminal… but still yet, he had done nothing against me. But my life as a kunoichi could not be stained or tampered with by being in love with traitors nor criminals. I would find a true love who was a good person- but when or who… I didn't know.
"Hey Kam," Rin said, smiling, as she walked up to me," What are you doing?"
"Just walking around aimlessly," I answered, shrugging," You?"
"Same thing," she replied, and then pointed ahead," Hey- there's Cal- let's go see what she's doing."
"Alright," I smiled, and together we walked up to her.
"Hey Cal," we said in unison, smiling. She turned around, saw us, and smiled.
"If someone didn't know any better- they'd say you two were birth sisters," she said; Rin and I looked at each other, shrugged and then looked back at Calael.
"If you say so," Rin said, smirking. Calael shook her head, smiling.
"Come on- I want to show you something," Calael said, taking our hands and leading us. As she passed Rara, she spoke to Rin.
"Rin- grab her as well." Rin nodded, and grabbed Rara as we passed; a surprised Rara followed, trying to figure out why she was being abducted. Soon, we all found ourselves standing by a tree- and our eyes (minus Calael's) widened when we remembered the meaning.
"The Promise Tree," we all whispered.
"When you had still been gone," Calael told me," I found myself standing here, and I remembered our promise."
"Never forget each other." Rara whispered.
"Always stick together." I followed, in a whisper.
"And no matter what- believe in each other." Rin finished, also in a whisper. Calael nodded, and we all stood there- our hands locked together in a chain, and we closed our eyes. Silently, each of us promised once again.

I sat on the bridges edge, over looking the stream of water.
"Don't I remember saying something a couple years ago… about a certain genin… becoming a Jounin?" Looking up I saw Izumo and Kakashi standing there, as though oblivious I was here.
"Yes you did… but what was that genin's name?" Kakashi said," Kachiko… Kamero…"
"Mhmm…." Izumo said, faking trying to think.
"And she didn't believe us, did she?"
"No- she didn't…"
"Alright, alright," I laughed," You guys made your point." Laughing, they leaned on the side of the bridge, and looked out over the water with me.
"How have you been, Kameera?"
"I've been pretty good Izumo sensei," I smiled, and he nodded, but out of the corner of my eyes, I saw that Kakashi could tell I was keeping something to myself.
"Well- I have to go," Izumo said," I'll see you around." Nodding, I watched as he disappeared into the village. After a little bit of silence, Kakashi finally spoke.
"What's wrong, Kameera?"
"What do you mean Kakashi sensei?" I asked, trying to be confused.
"You know exactly what I mean," he said, titling his head towards me. We stared at each other for a couple minutes, until finally, I gave in.
"I feel every one's emotions… its getting annoying- because I can't keep it under control. Earlier I accidentally blew up a table because of someone else's anger. It's so… frustrating!" I exclaimed- and an explosion in the stream caused water to splash up high and drench Kakashi and I. Sighing, I turned to him.
"See what I mean?" I moaned.
"Yes- and I think I know someone who can help you."
"Really?!"
"Really- follow me," Kakashi said, and started walking away. Quickly, I followed- still drenched with water. One our way- I saw Rara practicing with Shikamaru and Ino. I couldn't help but laugh when she kept getting caught by Shikamaru's shadow techniques.

Knock knock
"Enter." Kakashi led me into the Hokage's office. At first, I saw Sandaime behind the desk, and then he was gone- and Tsunade was there. Sighing softly and quietly, my eyes drifted toward the floor. How could one blame me? It had been Sandaime Hokage who had allowed me to stay in the village- he had been the one to find the loving family I have today. Now, I could never see him again because of my stupid, evil, egotistical, maniacal-
"Kameera- still with us?" Kakashi said, waving a hand in front of my face, jerking me from my thoughts.
"Huh- oh, yeah," I blushed," Sorry about that."
"It's alright," Kakashi said," Lady Hokage has agreed to help you. Just follow her instructions, alright?"
"Alright," I nodded, and Kakashi left the room.
"Kakashi tells me that you have empathic powers that you need help controlling," Tsunade began, and I nodded," Very well- if you agree to my training- there will be no pulling out of it. It will be hard and rough at the beginning, I wont lie. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Positive."
"Very well," Tsunade said, standing up," On our way to the training ground, I would like to hear more about your empathy- any other times in which it was used- the outcomes- what caused it, ect…" Nodding, I followed her, and began informing her of all she wanted to know.
