Anii had heard all of it, she was intrigued by Kakashi and Iruka's appearance at Sakura's house, so she stayed behind and listened. She was devastated that Sakura would believe them over her own friend, but what sickened her more was the fact that Kakashi and Iruka were doing this.

She was glad that Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto had said that they would come along, it made her feel like she belonged, so she didn't have to do it by herself. And for that she couldn't thank them enough, even if she thought they'd get in the way at times.

She could her the unsettling silence in the room next to her, Kakashi and Iruka had left, and she was now assuming that Sakura had as well. To go and tell everyone about what a liar she was, and how nobody should trust her let alone believe her. Anii slumped against the wall, what was so bad about what she was doing?

"SASUKE! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you." Came the sickly sweet tone of Sakura's voice.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and stopped what he was doing, "What do you want?"

"Anii... She's a lying cow." Sakura puffed out, she looked up and saw rage fill Sasuke's eyes.

"Why would you say something like this!" Sasuke said with an accusing tone in his voice.

Sakura started to wonder if she had done the right thing by telling Sasuke, as himself and Anii are very close, "Kakashi and Iruka came to my house..."

Sasuke looked at her strangely, "Came to your house?"

She nodded, "They told me all about Anii, and how she's lived here her whole life."

Sasuke sighed, "What did they say?"

Sakura looked around them to make sure no one else was listening, "They said her parents died when the nine tailed fox attacked the village, and that her new parents adopted her."

"Yeah okay, that makes sense in theory, but the memories?" Sasuke asked, trying to find flaws in her story.

"Creative imagination." Sakura said bluntly.

Sasuke looked at her in disbelief, he was angry and shocked that Sakura of all people would believe a story like that.

"Sakura... You're forgetting one major plot point here." He said in a low tone.

She looked at him questionably, "What?"

His eyes were staring into her, the sheer power of his look made shivers run down her spin, "Nobody knew her until she was five."

Anii was running through Konoha, at this point in time she never wanted to see Sakura again, and if she did it would be far to soon. She wanted to find Sasuke and tell him everything that was happening, and that she was going to leave with or without his help.

But by her calculations, Sakura had already told him and was probably on her way to tell Naruto as well. So it was too her surprise when she found Sakura hovering over Sasuke, yelling things at him, to which he just shrugged and mumbled something incoherent back.

Anii stayed by the shadows, she was in hope that Sasuke would see her and move away from Sakura, but when it didn't happen. She decided that sooner or later she'd have to face Sakura.

"Anii, tell Sasuke the truth." Hissed Sakura, glaring at her. Anii completely ignored Sakura's remark and turned to face Sasuke.

"I'm leaving tonight, with or without your help." She said, turning away to leave. She had an idea that if she got to Naruto first, then maybe all wasn't lost.

Anii found herself walking towards Ichiraku Ramen Bar, in hope to find Naruto there. But instead of Naruto, she found herself tailing behind Kakashi and Iruka, if they were heading towards Ichiraku as well, then it must have meant Naruto was there.

She sped up, she wanted to beat them there, even though she had an idea that he would believe Kakashi and Iruka over herself, she still wanted to give it a try. With in no time she had caught up to Iruka and Kakashi, and as she pulled up along side them, she saw the familiar hair of Naruto, and pulled out in front of them.

"Quick! There's Anii!" She heard Kakashi yell, she felt a few villagers pull out in front of her, but all in vain. She was faster and had better wits then that when she put her mind to it.

"NARUTO!" She called out, moving into a fast run with Kakashi and Iruka right on her tail. Naruto turned around and saw that Anii was now right behind him.

"Why are Iruka and Kakashi chasing you?" He said as Anii slowed down a tad.

"No time for questions, just run!" She said grabbing onto his wrist, however it was with no prevail, Naruto stayed glued to the spot. And within seconds Kakashi and Iruka had caught up with them.

"Anii, leave him alone. You don't need to suck even more people into your web of lies." Kakashi said, angry leaping from his mouth.

Naruto broke free of Anii's hold, "Lies?"

"Don't believe them..." She mumbled, looking up at Naruto.

"Ha! That's rich coming from you!" Iruka shot back, with a sly smile on his face.

"Anii, what's going on!" Naruto shouted, from the look in his eyes he didn't know who to believe.

"They're trying to turn you against me!" Anii replied, pointing at Iruka and Kakashi.

Kakashi scoffed, "Oh, I see how it is. Well Naruto, who are you going to believe, your teachers, or some girl you hardly know?"

Naruto paused and looked hard at the three standing in front of him. It was now that Sakura chose her time to make an appearance.

"Oh Naruto! I've finally found you!" She called as she grew closer.

"Ah, Sakura! Help me!" Naruto cried out, moving to stand next to her.

Kakashi and Iruka's faces lit up, now that Sakura was around, they knew that Naruto would eventually crack.

"Sakura, tell Naruto here everything we told you earlier." Iruka coughed out, his sly smile now taking priority on his face.

"... Sakura, don't." Anii cried out shaking her head in complete disbelief.

"Why shouldn't I? We don't need more people falling for your tricks." Sakura spat back, apparently her chat with Sasuke hadn't changed her mind at all.

"Would somebody tell me what's going on here!" Naruto shouted, gaining the attention of several passerby's.

"Naruto, don't listen to them. They're lying to you." Anii said back, hate dripping from her mouth.

"Oh, I see how it is, once someone works it out you move onto the next person?" Sakura started, her eyes piercing into Anii's skin, "Well Naruto, I'll tell you what's really going on."

Naruto nodded his head, "Please."

Kakashi and Iruka smiled, while Sakura thought about where to start, "Anii here has been lying to us the whole time we've known her."

Naruto looked at her dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

"Well, to be blunt, everything Anii has told us about not being from this village is a lie. She was born here, her parents died when the nine tailed fox attacked the village. She was adopted out by her new parents. And these memories she's been having, nothing more then a cry for attention." Sakura said shaking her head in Anii's direction.

Naruto stood there silently, "What?"

Anii wasn't sure who Naruto was believing, "Naruto, I'm not lying to you!" She cried out.

"Yes she is!" Kakashi said back, "Look Naruto, we don't want you kids to get hurt. Amegakure is a dangerous place, the trip there is as well, you may die. And what for? A memory that isn't even real!"

Iruka nodded in agreement, Anii couldn't believe what was going on around her, there was something more sinister at work here, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Anii, what do you have to say for yourself?" Iruka said, staring at her. Naruto nodded his head, and turned to look at her.

"Naruto, believe whatever you like. I'll just go by myself. I'd rather take people with me who trust me, then people who don't." She scoffed out.

"Anii, stop trying to get everyone to believe you!" Sakura called, "The games up. We all know you're lying."

"Fine. You got me. I'm lying. My whole existence to you guys is one big lie!" And with that she stormed off.
