Lost in your voice

Chapter 5

Mei's POV

Voices. That's what i can hear. Three voices. I'm awake but i don't wanna open my eyes. It would be too bright. And then I'll be forced to walk again. I can't be bothered. I have Haru-chan (her stuffed rabbit) with me and i kept the golden key with me and Onee-chan's voice in the chakra stone. 

Before she fell asleep she told me to keep it safe and not to let the snake man get it. He's the one who made everyone fall asleep. The snake man. But i call him Pedo-snake because before onee-chan fell asleep he bit her neck and a strange mark appeared. I think that's why she fell asleep because she screamed after it appeared. 

''Who's the kid Kakashi?'' voice one said. I added some of my chakra into the air so i could see what was going on without having to open my eyes. 

The man who talked had black hair, about chin length and covered his right eye. His blue hat had the Konoha shinobi symbol. 

''Oh, this is Mei Ongaku. I'm taking her to meet with the hokage'' 

''But i thought that they were wiped out'' Voice two said. He also had black hair but spiky and a bandage covering his nose. His Konoha headband was just normal. I've always wondered how some people can have natural spiky hair. My outoto had spiky hair. And so did papa. Kakashi-san also has spiky hair. I wonder how?

''That's what i thought too'' I heard Kakashi-san say. Then i felt that he was walking again. The chakra that i left in the air had already disappeared so i couldn't see again. ''You can open your eyes now Mei. I know that you're awake'' 

I was stunned that he noticed. Usually that trick works on Natsumi-san so why did Kakashi-san notice. I opened my eyes to be met with the light. Curse the sunlight. Is it trying to blind me? Kakashi-san put me back down and i started walking but shot a questioning look at him. 

''If you're wondering how i noticed, i felt you shoot your chakra into the air. If you do that too close to a person, they'll notice'' I nodded taking in the new information. I added a mental note to myself to not do that too close to a person or they'll notice. Unless they're stupid.

''How did you learn to use chakra anyway? Did Natsumi teach you?'' I shook my head and held up Haru-chan. ''Haru-chan taught me'' I said in a small voice. I don't know why i feel like i can talk to Kakashi-san. Because he's been really nice to me and offered to take me away from that place.  

He gave me a questioning look but i ignored it. I shouldn't talk so much because i have a feeling that i'm going to questioned by the hokage and i'll save my voice for then. 

Kakashi-san probably doesn't believe me that Haru-chan taught me to use chakra. He did though. Haru-chan is a spirit living inside my stuffed rabbit. He's been with me ever since my clan was wiped out by Pedo-snake. In his true form he looks like the skeleton of a dragon. But in his human form, he looks like a teenage boy with white hair spiky white hair and red eyes. He has a kinda creepy smile always on his face so i gave him a blue and red checker scarf to cover it. Haru-chan always looks after me and would even make people fall asleep if they hurt me. He can control my stuffed bunny though and talk through it. He only comes into his human form when i'm in danger or he's teaching me to protect myself. He's the only one i talk to frequently. 

Before i knew it we had already arrived at the hokage's tower. Kakashi-san knocked on a large door and i heard a muffled 'enter'. He opened the door and steeped in, me trailing after him. There were two men in the room. 

There was an old man sitting at the desk. He had a grey beard and grey hair just visible from his white and red hat. He also wore red and white robes. The second man was standing up. He had two large scars on his face and a blue hat with the Konoha symbol on. He wore dark blue clothing with a black trench coat.
