Chapter 2- The Return
On the opposite side of Konoha a lone figure walked through the deserted streets. Neko took a deep breath and sighed. It felt good to finally be home after so many years. Upon reaching her house she went inside to a quick bath to wash off all the dust and climbed into bed. She slept for 2 solid days.
When she finally woke up she was refreshed. She took a longer bath and decided that she would have to get out and explore Konoha as the town had changed since she was last home. She would also need to purchase supplies and get someone in to clean her unused home. Leaving Neko began to simply wander around the village reacquainting herself with the place.
Kakashi was on his way to meet Naruto, Sakura, and Sai when he and Neko passed each other on the street. He stopped dead in his tracks his mind whirling, turning he watched her enter one of the shops. It can't be her he thought to himself as be began to follow her, then he shook his head it just couldn't be he thought then he continued on his way.
Once Neko purchased the supplies she needed she hired a cleaning crew to clean her home, while they were at work she went to visit the Hokage. Knocking on the door Neko waited until she heard Tsunade say "enter" before she walked in. Tsunade looked up and gasped in shock, "NEKO!" she exclaimed before she jumped up and rushed to embrace her. Neko hugged her friend.
"What are you doing here?" Tsunade asked
Neko laughed, "Konohagakure called me. It was time I came home."
"Is that the only reason?" Tsunade inquired raising an eyebrow
Smiling Neko shrugged; "There could be another reason behind my return."
Tsunade grinned at her, "Well whatever the reason welcome home my friend, let me take you to dinner tonight."
"Agreed." Neko replied, I won't keep you, I wanted to let you know I was back, I'll leave you until tonight."
Tsunade hugged her again, "Alright I'll stop by your place and get you later, it's so good to have you home."
Neko grinned back at her before she left.
