A/N: okay this is a new note because I found out about willow( which will come in later chapters!) but the bad thing was that I didn’t get any reviews so im reposting. Hopefully someone will read! And don’t forget to REVIEW Because that’s how I know to keep updating. Oh and I actually found how to read my stats! I got like 247 hits or something and like five people reviewed! How does that even out? Oh well, I might start a new story too, one where team seven go back to the wave 4 years later. Im making it long for those who like it like that. : d

Disclaimer: naruto’s plot line would suck if I owned it I bet.

Faster chapter 3

Hana and himitsu were walking along the streets of konoha.

Himitsu was smiling a big smile and asking many questions of what things were and how they worked. And what they were used for.

Hana answered them all happily. She had a happy smile on her face, but it was a little confused. Anyone who had just found a girl unconscious with no memory would be a little confused right?

“So who’s the hokage again?”

“He is the protector of all the fire country.”

“And he’s the,” she faltered for a moment thinking, “third one right?”

“You sure have a good memory for someone without one.”

Himitsu giggled in embarrassment and rubbed the back of her neck.

“Oh and I almost forgot to mention that we will be meeting tsume, my mother, at the hokage’s tower.”

“Really? Do you think she’ll like me?”

“How could anyone not like you?”

Himitsu giggled again

“Oh and where did kiba go?”

“He had to go to the academy.”

“What’s that?”

“It is a place where young children go to learn the ninja way.” Hana continued seeing the blank look on himitsu’s face. “The ninja way is like a set of rules that the ninja follow. But that’s not all they learn there they learn basic chakra control and ninja skills.”

“And kiba’s training to be a ninja?”

“Yes.”

“Does everyone have to?”

“No, it is only if you wish to be trained as one, but there can be special cases like if you come from and esteemed clan of ninjas you would be expected to be one as well. But on the other hand if you can’t access chakra you basically have no hope of becoming a ninja.”

“What’s chakra?”

“In short, it is the power of the body and soul working together.”

“And you said something about jutsus.”

“They are the techniques that ninjas fight with.”

“This all sounds so cool; will I get to go to the academy to learn all this too?”

Hana smiled down to himitsu. “It all depends on this meeting. But I promises that I will do my best to get you into the academy, ok?”

Himitsu smiled back to hana. “Ok”

“Here we are.”

Himitsu looked up to the tall building standing before her.

“Must be good to be the hokage.” She whispered.

Hana smiled at this. “All you do is sit around and do paper work most of the time, I couldn’t stand doing that.”

Himitsu giggled.

“That’s because inuzukas don’t hold much patience for things like that.” A woman with veeeery messy short black hair. And veeeery scary eyes.

Himitsu did not run in fear. She just narrowed her eyes and then looked at her face a little closer.

“Oh,” she noticed the marks on her cheeks just like hana and kiba had. “you must be inuzuka-san. It is very nice to meet hana's mother.” She smiled at her.

“it is very nice to meet the girl I have heard so little about,” she directed her attention to hana with a slight frown.

Hana sighed.

“we’ll talk in the hokage’s office. We’ve wasted enough time already.”

!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$-hokage’s office-$!$!$!$!$!$!$!$!

“well,” the sandaime hokage started off after hearing the whole story, “the yamanaka's have not reported a missing girl, neither has anyone else in the village.”

“so she’s not from this village you say?” tsume inquired.

“that is the most logical explanation.”

“what will we do with her?” asked hana in a slightly worried tone.

“we cant really do anything until we know who she is and where she’s from. Now can we?”

“I suppose so. But where is this leading to?”

“hana is really worried about this girl. I’ve only seen her like this around kiba or the animals she treats” Pondered tsume.

“I have arranged for a few anbu members to try and restore her memory somehow.”

“don’t you think that anbu is a little much, hokage-sama? She is one little girl.” Tsume argued in a polite tone. “how much harm could she do?”

The hokage took a puff out of his pipe.

“just because they are young does not mean that they do not posses any skill.(this is getting to ooc for me.) but I do not think that she has some sort of bloody past, she probably was just running around the forest and hit her head on something hard.

“But it is my duty as the hokage to try and protect my village. Whoever I may be protecting it from.”

With that said two anbu appeared from it seemed out of nowhere to had a lion mask the other had a dolphin one.

Himtsu felt something stir deep inside of her from the strange black cloaks that they were wearing.

“Himitsu,” the hokage directed the conversation over to the young girl.”(she had been sitting on the ledge outside his office only half-heartedly listening to the conversation going on inside.) “ you will be going with these anbu alright? We are going to try to see if we can get your memory back.”

“will I get to see hana nee-chan again?”

The sandaime smiled at the young girl’s innocence she has gotten very attached to hana in only a few hours, hasn’t she?

“of coarse.”

“Then ill go. I’m not sure if I really had a choice though, it seems like everyone wants to know about my past.”

“Don’t you want to know about your past as well?” asked tsume.

“well im happy here with hana and kiba so my past doesn’t really bother me.”

She smiled again.

The sandaime took another puff out of his pipe, “they are going to analyze those scrolls of yours as well.”

“okay.”

The hokage nodded.

One anbu with a lion mask that seemed to be the leader stepped forward and kneeled down to himitsu’s eye level.

“don’t be alarmed, but we are going to have to put a knock out jutsu on you.”

“alright.” She said still smiling and shut her eyes.

The anbu did a flurry or seals and then softly placed his hand on her forehead.

There is Something that feels familiar about this.

That was the last thought she thought before blacking out.

Hana saw himitsu hang limply in the anbu's arms and couldn’t help but feel a pang of worry.

The hokage cleared his throat gaining back hana’s attention.

Out of the corner of her eyes she could see the anbu teleport out of the room.

“now lets talk about how her condition really was when you found her.”

“I guess a hokage never misses anything.” Hana let out a long sigh. “well-"

-anbu tower-

Himitsu slowly opened her eyes to see the same anbu as before kneeling down with his palm on her head.

“We’re going to do some tests on you alright?”

She nodded.

“alright,” he stood up, “here are some weapons,”

himitsu then noticed an assortment of very pointy things lying on a mat to her side.

“, we want you to try some of them out and see if you remember anything.”

She nodded and turned around to face the mat.

She sure is acting differently that before. Thought the lion masked anbu.

First, himitsu picked up a long wooden looking thing because it looked the least threatening.

She noticed a crevice in it and decided to pull.

She was wrong, she decided, that this one was the least threatening. When she had pulled, out came a long shiny blade.

Himitsu ran her hand along the shiny metal of the weapon.

“that is called a katana.” Said the anbu softly.

“a katana.” She repeated even softer.

She caressed the dull side of the blade back and forth. And then touched the sharp side softly, and slid her finger across it.

A trickle of blood slid down the tip of her finger. The wound wasn’t deep, but it was more then a scratch.

She slightly winced, but nothing more.

This girl, she must have had some backround with fighting or she would’ve felt more pain.

She sheathed the katana and then picked up a knife looking thing.

“that is a kunai, the most basic of all ninja tools.”

she fingered it.

“give it a toss.”

she did as she was told and threw the kunai at a wooden chair sitting in the corner of the room.

The kunai ended up spinning like a shurikin and not even hitting the chair.

She just looked back to the mat and picked up a shurikin. She threw this at the chair as well.

This time is hit one of the legs of the chair, and stuck there.

Once again she looked back to the mat and picked up the demon windmill shurikin.

“what is this supposed to be?”

“it is called the demon windmill shurikin. I don’t think you should try to throw that in here though.”

Himitsu didn’t like the tone in his voice. Was her aim really that bad?

“hmpf.”

She took the shurikin and stood up.

Himitsu didn’t like to be insulted. she spun around with the shurikin in hand and then let it loose.

It was spinning furiously and it went past the anbu and hit the wall behind him and stuck there.

“oh, well,” she said blushing, “I guess my aim isn’t that good after all. I was aiming for the chair. Hehe.”

She emediatly sat back down and picked up a senbon.

The anbu sighed and pulled the shurikin out of the wall and closed it up.

Well, it seems that she acts as much of an inuzuka as a clanborn would.

He sighed and went on with his orders. “that is a senbon…”

&&&&&

Himitsu had looked at smokebombs, wire, exploding notes, and an assortment of differently shaped kunai.

She had also looked at a kodachi. This time though she didn’t cut herself on it. When she had picked it up she had more ease with it than at the katana.

“alright, did anything here spark your memory at all?”

“um none of the weapons did.”

The dolphin and lion masked anbu sighed.

“But before when you took me out of the hokage’s office I felt like your cloaks seemed familiar and when you put your palm on my forehead I felt like I done that before too.”

“well that’s a start at least. But couldn’t you have told us this before.”

“you never asked.”

The two sweat dropped.

“it cant be helped, lets just move on.” Said the lion masked one.

“we have analyzed the scrolls that you were carrying on your belt. There are very strong genjutsu on them so we could not find out anything from them. But we still want you to try to open one.”

“okay.”

The anbu handed over a crimson and black scroll with a silver clasp to himitsu.

“we’ll leave you to try on your own.”

The two anbu then teleported out of the room leaving himitsu staring at the scroll.

!#$&()!-behind a window-#$&()!#$&()

The two anbu then reappeared behind a window that looked over the room. (it was the type where you could see out but not in.)

“this is our last chance for finding out anything really. The weapons were a total dud.”

Said the dolphin masked on with a little exasperation in his voice.

“not quite.” Said another anbu with a canary mask that had been up in the room the whole time. “look at the kunai she threw a while ago.

The twosome did so and where astonished at what they saw.

The kunai had just stuck to the wall. It was wedged there from the impact of its throw.

“I guess that was either luck, or she has done it before.”

“there is a very high chance that she used to be a ninja.”

“especially with the fact that she threw that windmill shurikin like it was nothing.”

“but her technique was not perfect. She was mostly irritated so that threw her off.”

“I didn’t mean to get her angry…”

“that doesn’t matter now we just need to see if she can open that scroll.”

“do you really think that she can while the decoding specialists couldn’t?”

“it might have something to do with generics.”

The dolphin masked one sighed, he’d been doing that a lot lately.

“then we wait.”

()()()-Himitsu-()()()()()

I just don’t get this! What am I supposed to do with this. I know im supposed to open it but, aarrrggg! The clasp has is shut tight. Okay I just need to calm down. Hana said that I can go to the academy with kiba if this meeting goes well. So maybe if I can open this scroll they’ll let me enroll! Yeah maybe its an entrance test or something, but then why would they use one of the scrolls that I had on my belt? oh well, im still gonna try to open it!

Himitsu leaned against the wall and bent one of her knees toward her chest casually.

She held the scroll in one hand was rubbing the clasp with her thumb.

She was concentrating everything on that on spot there on the scroll. That little silver clasp that shone like the moon in the dimly lit room.

Himitsu was working her thumb around the clasp, not really thinking that it would do anything.

The young girl’s thumbnail was scraping against the metal, making a slight scratching sound.

That is until she heard a click instead of the usual scratching.

Himitsu had just opened the scroll.

She was shocked there was no doubt about that.

And she wasn’t even trying that hard. All she had done was rub the clasp.

She slowly unraveled the beautiful red and black scroll to reveal…
