The Last Chinoike [A NARUTO LOVE STORY]

Kumogakure

"Look, she's starting to stir. The girl is waking up now." A faint voice rung around in Hayami's ears. She indeed was beginning to wake up.

"Huh... where..." Hayami mumbled out to no one in particular. She tried to sit up but found her wrists stuck together behind her back. Her body felt no longer strained under the weight of her comrade's corpse, however the emotional weight struck her the second she woke up.

"Chinoike Hayami, is that correct?" A man who was standing near the feet of the woman spoke up.

Hayami nodded and began to mumble out to no one in-particular. "Oh god... Kaori..." Hayami let out a shaky breath.

"You are Hayami Chinoike, are you not?" A deep voice shook the room and snapped Hayami out of her soft, trance-like state.

"Oh, uh yes. That's me." The brunette opened her eyes up wide to gaze around the room. She saw the architecture of the Raikage's office, numerous ninja standing around her, and the tanned silhouette of a burley man she assumed to be the Raikage. He had his arms crossed and possessed an intimidating presence, occupying the chair behind his desk.

"Who is this woman you brought with you? And why did you pass out at the gate? What happened before you arrived at the Hidden Cloud?" A man with short blond hair, who just happened to be in Hayami's line of sight, began to question.

"Be quiet, Atsui. We need to just ask one question at a time. Look at her, she can barely keep her eyes open." A softer and much more feminine voice spoke up.

"You're right, Samui." He turned back toward the girl who was bound on the floor, her eyes evident with confusion and worry. "My apologies, Chinoike."

Hayami nodded and quickly jutted out her tongue to wet her chapped lips. "Thank you," She let out a long sigh and pushed her self up into a crisscross position on the floor- hands still tied behind her. "I'm Hayami Chinoike, the last member of the Chinoike Clan that resided in Hell Valley. The rest of the Chinoike are dead. I was found by two ninja from the Hidden Leaf and then taken to reside there, with one of them being the Legendary Sannin: Jiraiya. Tsunade-Se, I mean- the Fifth Hokage gave me refuge in Konoha and took me under her wing to train me. I was happy there, it was the only place I had ever lived besides that of Hell Valley. So now that I've answered at least some questions you hopefully had, I have one of my own."

Hayami was met with silence and quiet nods from the jonin around her. Hayami's gaze found the Raikage's tough eyes and she dared to stare daggers at him prior to lowering her tone. "Why am I here? Why did you insist on taking me away from the only place I've known peace since I lost my clan-"

She was cut off by the Raikage. "Who was the woman with you and what happened to her?"

Hayami gulped and tried to shake off her urge to call him out on cutting her off. "Yamaguchi Kaori. She's a jonin of the Leaf who was tasked with escorting me here. We ran into two members of the Akatsuki, the one who hails from Yugakure named Hidan and the one with a mask covering his face who was called Kakuzu. They were carrying a body with them and I think she had a Hidden Cloud Village headband on. She had this wavy blonde hair and they referred to her as a jinchūriki-"

The entire room gasped. Everyone in the room had the same thoughts, 'Lady Yugito...' All of the high-ranking ninja realized that the girl was referring to the jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, Yugito. 

The blonde woman leaned down to meet the purple eyes of Hayami. She had shoulder-length blonde hair and striking blue eyes. But what stuck out to Hayami the most was the pair of breasts the woman possessed that almost bounced right out of her top. Hayami inched back to gain some space before the woman spoke up in a stoic voice. "Was the woman wearing a short-sleeved black and purple top with black pants?"
