Chapter 12: My name is…

Me: I'm doing this up the top of my head so it might have a lot of spelling mistakes. And I'm also doing this in math class.

Kiba: Why the heck are you doing this in math class?

Me: … cause I felt like it…?

Kiba: WTF? O.o"

Sai: Well then, I'll take that as my cue. Peru doesn't own anything of Naruto, and all that, except the OCs she created.

Kisame: Enjoy the chapter.

Kuro's POV

"Mom? Are you awake?" I nudged her and she stirred.

"Hmmm…" She turned over but was still sleeping. She could be a hard core sleeper sometimes. I sighed and got out of bed.

We were brought back to Tazuna's house. I did some stretching, and Gami joined me.

Kuro, who is this woman that appeared yesterday?

I smiled at him. "She is my mother, Gami."

Your mother? You mean the person who gave birth to you?

"Ya. It's like that." I nodded as I did the lunge form.

Then what about mine?

I stopped to think about it. I sat down and started petting Gami. "Your mother… left you to me because…"

Because?

"Because she was about to die, so she left you with me." I rested my hand on his head.

Oh… well I think she was right to leave me with you.

"It's alright Gami, we'll be together. Always, I promise." I patted his head again, and got back to my training exercise.

I was halfway through my thousand pushups, when a knock sounded on the door. I sat down and huffed my answer.

"Come in."

The door opened and Sakura popped her head in. Then she blushed and took her head away. "Kuro-kun, your shirt."

I looked down at my bare chest. 'Oh shoot, I forgot I took it off after the 200 pushups break!' I quickly scramble to get the GAP sweatshirt on.

"Okay, you can come in now." I completely forgot that I was a guy in this world, and that I have to face the guy problems. But it wasn't that bad.

Sakura cautiously stuck her head, and eventually got past the door. She sat down beside me and started petting Gami.

"I came by to see if you're okay…" Sakura trailed off as her face grew distant.

"Well I'm okay now, so there isn't anything to be worried about." I smiled at her, and she nodded her head flustered. There was a moment of awkward silence which I couldn't bear at all. Luckily, Sakura broke the silence.

"Well I'm going to stay with Mr. Tazuna. You want to come too Kuro?" She asked me. I wanted to go, but I couldn't. Not with my mom here…

"You can go dear." Sakura and I turned to face the owner of the voice. She was sitting upright on her made bed, smiling.

"Mom! You're awake!" I quickly went to her side to see if anything was wrong.

"Yes Kuro, I'm alright. I see you've made friends here." She nodded towards Sakura. Turning back to me she continued. "You can go with her, I'll stay here and wait for you."

"But - "

"It's alright Kuro, I know this place quite well." I look at her questioningly but I did as she told me to. I got up and smiled at Sakura.

"Okay, let's go Sakura. Come, Gami." We left the house to meet up with Tazuna, looking back at the house before it disappeared behind the trees.

Kuro's mom's POV

I watched as Kuro left with Tazuna and the pinkette. Her face looked worried as she looked back at the house. I looked at the path she had taken until a knock on the door brought me back to the present.

"Mind if I come in?" I looked to see Kakashi at the door. I smiled at him.

"I didn't say no did I?" I replied with a question of my own.

"No you didn't." He agreed as he made his way to the make-shift bed that I was sitting on a few minutes before.

"So what brings you here, Kakashi?" He jerked at his name being mentioned, his one eye narrowing.

"How do you know my name?" He drawled.

"Your father told me, and you were a kid back then… still in the Academy back then." I smiled at the memory. Kakashi was thinking about something.

"You've met my father?" He looked at me with an unreadable look.

"Yes, he was quite the gentleman as well." I giggled at the past.

Kakashi looked at me, as if I was an old person who lived through many seasons of war. I laughed at his confused expression.

"Hmmm… you don't seem to remember me, Kakashi." I looked at him thoughtfully.

"We met?" He scoffed, not believing what I said. I smiled softly at him.

Kakashi's POV

She smiled softly and the shadows caressed her skin. Her midnight brown hair, flowed in the wind that seeped into the room. Her eyes a dark crimson, making it look like they were black, shined in the light of day. She curtsied slightly and introduced herself. "My name is Mai Angelica, princess of Dragon Clan. In the Palace of Flames; west of the Land Hidden by Clouds. It is my pleasure to meet you, Hatake Kakashi."

Me: Finished ~

Kiba: o.O What the heck just happened?

Me: Duh~ Kuro's mom introduced herself. That's what happened!

Kakashi: She's a princess?

Kuro: My mom is a princess?

Mai: I'm a princess?

Me: What's wrong with you people! I just said she was a princess, didn't I?

Kiba: Calm down, Peru! They just need to let it sink in, and they'll recover from the shock.

Sai: Wow… and I come later in the story. It's going so fast!

Me: Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please review!
