Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Forgiven ❯ Close Encounters ( Chapter 2 )

Okay! Another chapter! I'm on a roll! WOOT!!! Well I'd like to send a thank you to my ONE reviewer! Thank you Bitchy Reviewer #0239412342134123412341234, Kiki Temeishi, Himaco, Anonymous, and Dan Inverse!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. He, along with the rest of the cast, belongs to Kishimoto-sama. But maybe one day…just kidding!

To answer the anonymous review, OC means an original character, or some one the author made up. OOC means the character from the original cast isn't acting as they normally would. An example would be like Sasuke acting really happy or laughing a lot when he's normally cold and serious.

"Ahem…Can I help you?" She turned from where she was peering around the corner. She noticed she was in a flower shop. There was a girl at the counter by the wall adjacent to the one the door was fixed into. She had long, white-blonde hair up in a high ponytail. The girl looked about twelve or thirteen. And she was getting very impatient.

"Uh…um…I…"

`What do I say?'

"I-I want this!" she quickly looked to the left to see what it was she had grabbed. It was a pretty white rose. She looked back at the girl and gave a big nervous grin. The girl just stared. "O-okay…are you from around here?" the girl asked noticeably staring at the Konoha hitai-ate around her neck. "I haven't seen you before."

She looked at the floor. "I used to live here. It was a long time ago." She handed the rose to her and the girl wrapped it in some plastic. "Here you are." The girl said with a small smile. "What's your name?" She asked. "Yamanaga Ino. Yours?" She smiled at Ino. "Uekiya." She answered as she paid for her purchase. "Nice to meet you. Come again!" Ino shouted as her customer walked out the shop with a wave.

`Nice kid. Hmm…now where to?'

Her question was answered by the rumbling that came from her food-deprived stomach. "Heh heh heh…" an evil grin crossed her features. She started walking down the street. The evil look quickly dissolved into a nervously happy one as she noticed all the strange looks she was getting.

`Time to visit my favorite noodle bar…'

As she turned the corner she raised her vigilance as she searched for any life forms she knew personally in the past. When she found none, but found the restaurant she discretely slipped inside peering from behind one of the large banners to the outside checking to see if any one out on the street saw her come in. the man from behind the bar called to her.

"What can I get you miss?" he asked. Not even turning to him she answered, "Umm…yeah can I get some pork ramen?" as she finished her sentence she turned around fully, satisfied that no one had seen her. But as always, she had spoken too soon, for just in front of her were the two people she had been trying to evade. The silver haired Jounin before her looked as if he had seen a ghost…for second time that day.

"Aww damn! Never mind!" she yelled as she, once again, turned and ran in the other direction. Kakashi just stared after her, as pale as Orochimaru himself. Naruto on the other hand sat there happily eating his own pork ramen, until he noticed his sensei shaking.

"Kakashi-sensei, are you sick or something? You don't look so good." The Jounin regained some of his composure and turned to his concerned student.

"I uh…I'll be fine. Yeah…I'll be fine."

`I think I'll just go see a doctor or something.'

`I've been reading too much Icha Icha Paradise.'

`It couldn't have been real.'

`There's no way she could possibly be back.'

`I just imagined her that's all.'

"Kakashi-sensei, do you know why that lady ran out of here like that?" Great Naruto had seen her too. He definitely wasn't hallucinating.
