Kimimaru

It's been two weeks and let me tell you it has been crazy. Kuroko and Mira wouldn't stop calling me princess, and Gaara was so close to kill Kuroko because he would pull pranks on him. But Temari would break them. Kankuro would play with Mira and put on puppet shows for her. While I was trying to figure out what to do about what Gramps and I talked about before he died.

"Hey Kimimaru, what's up." Shikamaru said as he walked beside me.

"Nothing much, I'm just seeing them off." I said pointing at the Kuroko and Mira.

"They'll be fine Kimimaru, just focus on your training okay?" Shikamaru said hugging me lightly.

"Come on! Are you guys going to keep us waiting or what?!" Kankuro shouted as he picked up Mira and put her on his shoulders.

"We're coming!" I shouted at him. "Let's hurry up and see them off." I said to Shikamaru.

We arrived at the village gates and said our goodbyes. Gaara gave me a necklace with a small hourglass with sand inside and he showed me his charm that I gave him.

"You still have it." I said staring at it.

"Of course, it has helped me in many ways. I just wanted to return the favor." He said smiling at me.

"Thank you." I said hugging him tightly.

"For what?" He said rubbing my back.

"For being born." I said giving him a kiss on the cheek. I was about to walk away from him when he pulled me into his arms and pressed his lips on mine.

*clears throat* "Sorry for the interruption but we got to go." Kankuro said break us up.

"You should get going." I said to Gaara. He nodded then join his sister and Kuroko.

"Thanks princess!" Mira and Kuroko shouted.

"Please stop calling me that. Everyone in the village started calling me that and it's getting annoying." I said a little irritated.

They smiled at me and I smiled back. Shikamaru said his goodbyes before turning around to face me. We smiled at each other then walked back to the village.

"So 'princess' what are you going to do?" He asked.

"Well, I've been training with Tsunade and Grampa Jiraiya. I think I'll just take a day off. After all, I've been on this assignment for two weeks or so. But at least they're going to be fine. As long as Gaara and Kuroko don't fight along the way." I said a little worried at the end.

"They'll be fine Kimimaru. Hey tell you what, let's go eat something barbecue, my treat. Then we can do anything you want." Shikamaru said putting his arm around me.

"Sounds good. Let's go." I said.

Once we arrived at the barbecue restaurant we found Asuma and Choji. Asuma offered to pay for everything. After a while Ino joined us.

"So 'princess' how's your day been?" Ino said giggling a little as she spoke.

"Can you please stop calling me princess. I'm not a princess and I don't even act like one." I said shoving a piece of meat in my mouth.

"You may be right but according to your paper work you're part of the main house of the Uchiha clan. So in other words you are a princess." I heard someone say as they walked in. I turned to look at the entrance only to see Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, how have you been? Sit down please." Asuma said.

"So how was it taking care of Kuroko and Mira Ukame?" Tsunade ask as she sat next to Asuma.

"It was fun all I had to do was make sure that Gaara didn't kill Kuroko." I replied. I was about to eat another piece of meat when I looked up to see everyone staring at me with their eyes wide open.

"What?" I said as I put the piece of meat in my mouth.

"Gaara tried to kill Kuroko?" They said in unison.

"Yeah, but I had Kankuro and Temari helping me out. Plus, Mira would hit Kuroko." I explained.

"I don't get how you and those sand siblings get along so well. I mean *chewing* you just met them during the Chunin exams." Ino said as she ate.

"Yeah, about that... hehe... I've known them before I met you guys." I said nervously.

"EEHHH!!!" Everyone shouted.

"How?!" Asuma asked.

"Didn't I already tell you guys that before I arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village I was from the Hidden Sand Village?" I said.

"NO!"

"Well now you know." I said standing up.

"Where're ya going?" Shikamaru asked.

"I'm going to buy new ninja tools, then I'm gonna go train." I said as I walked out.

"Who are you going to train with?" Tsunade asked.

"With some friends of mine. Now if you excuse me." I said. I bowed then walked out.I was about to turn right when I dumped into someone.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." I said rubbing my nose.

"Ha. You got to be careful Kimimaru. You almost stepped on Akamaru." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up to see Kiba.

"Kiba! Where have you been?" I said hugging him.

"Resting in bed but now that I'm fine I was thinking about doing some training. What do you say if we trained together?" Kiba said.

"Kiba, you're just getting better and Akamaru is too. You should really take it slow, but maybe next time." I said walking away from him.

I continued to make my way to the weapon shop until I saw Hinata. I stopped and stared as she tried to carry a bunch of scrolls. She was trying to keep her balance that she didn't notice people walking in front of her.

"Woah! I can't... hold it... any... longer..." She said. I quickly ran to her when I saw two drunk men fighting just a few inches away from Hinata.

"Aura Proctect!" I shouted. I made a small bubble and threw it to Hinata making it cover her.

"You alright?" I said as I helped her carry the scrolls.

"Thanks Kimimaru. But I think I can manage." She said smiling at me.

"There is no way I'm letting you carry all this. Where are you going with this anyway?" I asked.

"To the weapon shop. Kiba and Shino finished delivering their part." She said as we walked side by side.

"Hey we're here." I said as we walked in the shop.

"Hello!" Hinata shouted.

"Oh, Lady Hinata, princess Kimimaru, come in. You can leave those right there in that corner." The man who ran the shop said as we walked around the shop.

"Please don't call princess." I sweat dropped. We went to drop off the scrolls at the corner then started to look around.

"If you girls see anything you like don't hesitate to take it. I'll give it to you for free." The man said.

"Kk!" I shouted as I picked up a giant shuriken.

"Follow" I heard someone whisper to me. I looked around but I only saw Hinata and the man talking to each other. I shrugged then continued looking.

"Follow. Keep following." The voice whispered again. This time it was a little louder.

"Kimimaru, I'm sorry but I gotta go. See you tomorrow bye." Hinata said before walking out.

"Bye!" I shouted.

"Why didn't you follow? Your weak." The voice said again. I looked around but saw no one else with me beside the man.

I shook my head then continued to look around. As I looked around the shop my eyes landed right on a katana with a black handle and a long blade that responded to chakra. I picked it up and quickly ran my chakra through it. Then fire quickly started to cover the blade.

"Ah, great choice princess. Looks like your a lucky on." The man said.

"Really?" I said as I swung the katana around.

"People say that the sword belonged to a princess many years ago. It is said that who ever the sword respons to is the reincarnation of that princess." The man continued.

"Really?" I questioned in disbelief.

"Nah! I'm just joking but that katana did belong to a princess once. That katana has been passed down from generation to generation. You can have it. Consider it a thank you gift for helping Lady Hinata." The man said.

"Thank you." I said. I placed the katana back in its holder. I bowed then walked out. I quickly ran back home making sure no one was following me. Once I got home I quickly locked the door and windows. I placed my new katana down on the table then went to my room and searched for the scroll.

"Princess." I heard a whisper as I searched under my bed. I looked up and looking around the room.

"Who's there?" I asked but no answer. I shrugged then continued searching.

I moved some bags until I found a black box with the Leaf Village's symbol on it. I took the box out then walked back to the living room. I opened the box and took out the scroll. I bit my thumb then swiped it across the scroll. I made a hand sign then the scroll opened. I jumped away from the scroll as smoke started to come out of it. I quickly ran to get my katana and was ready to fight whatever the thing that was going to pop out of the scroll. However, once the smoke cleared I found some change of clothes, weapons, and a book with the Uchiha clan's crest.

"Looks like the old geezer was repaired." I heard someone say. I turned around to see a woman with long black hair, her eyes just like a Hyuga standing behind me.

"Who are you?" I asked as I backed away from her.

"You've grown into a beautiful girl. I see that you weren't able to use the Byakugan but I don't blame you." She said smiling at me.

"Who are you?" I asked again this time a little forceful.

"Nomei Hyuga." She bowed then smiled at me. "I haven't seen you for twelve or thirteen years. I still remember the first time I held you in my arms after you were born." She added.

I froze. I didn't know what to do or say next! This person in front of me is my mother! I quickly ran up to her and hugged her but instead I passed right through her and slammed my face on the ground.

"Ow! Well that hurt." I said standing up from the ground.

"Fufu! Are you alright kido?" Nomei asked.

"Yeah, I guess." I said walking over to the scroll. "So~, were you the one whispering to me?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yup!" She said popping the 'p' at the end.

"Also, are you my real mother?" I asked as I sat down on the couch.

"Yes and no." She replied. She sat down next to me then handed me a letter that was inside the book. "Read it."

I looked at the letter then back at her. I took the letter from her then opened it. Inside was a letter from Gramps.

Note:

Dear Kimimaru,

If you're reading this it means that you're ready to leave the village. Nothing is holding you back from leaving and I'm sure that you'll won't lose your memories but if you do that book with the Uchiha clan's crest has some pictures that I've taken for you and that Itachi has too.

You shouldn't be worrying about anything. I suggest that you leave at least a note to let them know that you have left the village. However, you can't tell them where you're at.

Also, I know that you have questions about your past but I can at least help you with one thing. In the back of the book you'll find a certificate. That is your birth certificate. I wish you the best of luck.

---- The Third Hokage

End of note

I quickly grabbed the book and opened it. I searched until I found the certificate. I stared at it for a while before looking back at Nomei. She looked worried so she reached for the certificate but I moved away from her.

"My name wasn't Rin, or Nira, or Shira. It was Tsukiko. And that memory about me being from the Hidden Cloud Village is a lie?" I said looking at Nomei.

"No, you're not from the Hidden Cloud Village. They must of done something to prevent you from finding out the truth about your past." She answered.

"But why?" I asked.

"Maybe they want you to find out about your past without someone's help." Nomei explained.

"I'm so confused." I said as I stood up and walked into my room.

"Are you going to do what the old geezer said?" Nomei asked as she followed right behind me.

I didn't answer. I looked at her then shrugged. She nodded then sat down on my bed. She pat the spot next to her wanting me to sit next to her. I sighed then sat down. She smiled then pulled me close to her. I hesitantly rested my head on her shoulder.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out." She said rubbing my back.

"How are you so sure." I asked.

"I'm sure because I'll always be watching you." She whispered.

We sat there for a while. She whistled a tune then stood up slowly. She continued to whistle as she walked outside. I watched as she danced around and little by little she started to fade.

"Wait! Where are you going?" I shouted she smiled at me and continued.

"This is the last time you'll see me Tsukiko. If I were you I would take a look at that book. Don't worry I'll be watching. Bye Tsukiko." She said before disappearing into thin air. I looked around then ran back inside.

Well that was weird.

"Tell me about." Shukaku and Kurama said. I laughed then sat down on the couch again.

"Did you guys know that my name was Tsukiko?" I asked.

"Yes child, but we didn't want to say anything because.... well because...." Matatabi said.

"Because you're trying to protect me. I know but do you guys know how much easier that would have made my life?! You guys made me think that I was from the Hidden Cloud Village but that's not true. So tell me, where am I from? Who are my real parents? Tell me who Nomei is?! Please!" I shouted.

" Kimimaru? Are you alright? I heard you shouting." Naruto said as he stood by the door.

"Hey Naruto, no I'm fine. I'm- hey do you want to train for a while?" I said as I stood up.

"Believe it! I finally get to do some training after a long time!" Naruto shouted as he walked back outside. I grabbed my katana, made everything that was on the table go back into the scroll, then grabbed my bag and ran out the door.

"See you later." I said as I looked back at the house.

Once me and Naruto reached the training grounds I found everyone training as well. We looked at each then joined the others. It was fun training with my friends but then that sharp pain that I have been getting in my head returned.

"Argh!" I moaned as I fell to my knees.

"Kimimaru! What's wrong?!" Ino asked.

I tried to stand up but then I started to cough up blood. Quickly everyone started to circle around me. I panicked as I felt the pain move throughout my entire body. As I continued to cough up blood my body started to feel as it was on fire.

"HELP!" I shouted.

"You can feel it now right? The pain will only grow. Accept me. Let me take over." A voice that I've never heard before said.

"NO!" I shouted making all my friends flinch as my screams filled their ears. I breathed heavily as I felt my body go numb. I felt someone pick me up and started running. I felt vision become blurry and before I closed my eyes I was able to see Naruto.

Hey guys! Sorry if this chapter doesn't make sense. I tried to update as soon as I could but I got sick and I couldn't do anything.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed it. And I brought Nomei back! If you have read A Special Child Is Born then you would know who she is. Oh, and about Kuroko and Mira don't worry they'll be back too.

But other than that, I gotta go! Okay vote, comment, share, message, you know what to do.

Bye!!!
